Chapter 321: Chapter 214 I, am Immortal!_1
Two Purgatory Dominators gasped in the spectator seats.
Jiang Chen, however, was not the least bit proud or relaxed.
All his concentration was immersed in the battle, ignoring all reactions from the onlookers.
“I’ve activated all my burst modes including Limitation Unlock, Demon God Returns, and Time Acceleration,” he said.
“And I’ve applied them to the dual Legendary Traits of Extreme Battle Spirit and Void Annihilation.”
“In the end, I only managed to block one attack...”
Jiang Chen was tracking the movements of the Flesh Puppet.
This Flesh Puppet didn’t possess the Extreme Battle Spirit trait. As a monster created from scratch, it also didn’t have the concept of concealing its Conscious Soul.
In front of Jiang Chen, it was almost as transparent as glass.
“It raises its fist and after a moment, it will launch the next attack.”
“During the interval between attacks, the large mouth on its abdomen will bite with poison abilities aimed at biological targets, causing weakening upon contact.”
“The shape of the Flesh Puppet will also change, extending more limbs.”
“Ability is brewing in its abdomen...”
All actions and information of the Flesh Puppet...
Jiang Chen could see them all crystal clear, reaching a level almost akin to precognition.
But...
Knowing what will happen ≠ being able to evade.
As one of the masters of the Infinite Purgatory, though the Flesh Host lacked the Extreme Battle Spirit, it understood this power very well and knew how to counter it—
If you can’t outperform in skill, then don’t compete in skill.
Play to its strengths, attack with greater speed and range, and forcefully increase the hit probability.
Strike with the Surefire Hit effect!
Although this method would lead to a less concentrated force, reducing the attack power on its own,
As long as it could suppress the precognition and evasive abilities of Extreme Battle Spirit, it would still be a gain.
Like now.
Jiang Chen knew all the Flesh Puppet’s moves but was still stuck to it, forced to confront it head-on.
And that happened to be the Flesh Puppet’s forte—
Its basic attributes were as high as 3.99 billion, approximately 4 billion.
Through Flesh Control abilities, it gained an additional fourfold attribute boost.
This method of enhancement was far more noble than the “fourfold attack power” of the Extreme Battle Spirit.
It was as if it transformed in an instant, becoming a 9th Rank overlord with 200 billion in all attributes!
Combined with the power boosts from Star-shifting Strength and Light-Heavy Traction.
Although it was just an 8th Rank overlord,
With every move it made, each attack reached an astonishing 300 billion in power!
This led to...
Every attack made by it demanded Jiang Chen’s full strength to counter, utilizing the true damage reduction from Void Annihilation to neutralize.
Fortunately, the Flesh Puppet had immense strength and speed.
Its attack speed did not get much of a boost, making its movements comparatively sluggish.
Moreover, the wide range of its attacks inevitably dispersed its power.
Jiang Chen, with his own skills and traits, was able to reduce most of the attack’s power, even to the point where it couldn’t breach his defense.
But the problem was.
This was still just the Flesh Puppet’s “probing” attack.
Just like the treasure orb of the Purgatory Asura, the mirage of the Tiger Slash Asura, the slash of the Blood Sickle Asura, the frenzied blood, and others.
The power of legends is only a part of the Legendary Overlord’s strength. They also possess abilities similar to modules, capable of unleashing even greater force.
Jiang Chen could clearly sense.
If the Flesh Puppet exerted its full strength,
The power of a single attack would surpass 600 billion!
This was already a power approaching that of an 11th Rank!
Even if the Flesh Puppet lacked martial arts, even if Jiang Chen used all his techniques...
In such high-frequency combat, if abilities were used unrestrainedly,
It would take only a moment to exhaust one’s physical strength.
Therefore, whether it was Jiang Chen or the Flesh Puppet, they were extremely conservative in using their abilities.
They conserved their strength for the normal exchange of blows.
Even so, both parties’ physical strength was steadily declining.
Take Jiang Chen, for example,
Upon activating Limitation Unlock, he would lose 2% of his Life Force and physical strength every second.
Life Force wasn’t a big deal; it was calculated based on his current maximum, and with the Infinite Core as a supplement, along with bloodsucking and his own regeneration rate, he could achieve perpetuity.
As for his physical strength, he could only recover it through Blood Demon Transformation.
Yet, the efficiency of Blood Demon Transformation was limited, and the recovery couldn’t keep up with the consumption.
He had to periodically deactivate Limitation Unlock, waiting to recover a certain amount of physical strength before reactivating his burst mode.
Deactivating Limitation Unlock would lead to a drop in his strength and speed, and he would have to withstand a barrage of attacks...
Even if it was just for a short period of tens of seconds.
It was enough to lose an entire bar of health!
That was more than the Life Force consumed by Limitation Unlock!
Jiang Chen had to turn off Limitation Unlock for at least thirty seconds every minute.
In those thirty seconds, he would lose at least two bars of health.
Plus other miscellaneous consumption, he was losing an average of three bars of health per minute.
Five minutes add up to fifteen bars of blood.
Bear in mind...
Jiang Chen only had a total of thirty-three bars of blood!
After five minutes of battle, only the last eighteen bars remained!
He was only a hair’s breadth away from being bled dry and dying!
Fortunately...
The countdown came.
A Star-burning Heart that had completely withered, after five full minutes of nurturing, reignited once more.
Like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, it returned to its most glorious state in an instant.
Ten bars of blood.
And so...
Jiang Chen’s blood level returned to twenty-eight bars.
“That was close, almost had a wipeout.”
“You were just a little bit short, you could have killed me.”
“...?”
The Flesh Host listened from afar, full of question marks in its mind.
Let alone the fact that Jiang Chen had shed so much blood, turning it into a blood storm, there was still not a single injury on the surface of his body—
The moment he was wounded, he could recover instantly.
Did It really think it couldn’t see the Life Force contained within Jiang Chen?
A hundred percent Life Force, after five minutes of battle, less than fifty percent had been consumed!
And the Life Force already lost was almost instantly restored by nearly thirty percent just now?
Not only that...
Jiang Chen fought the Flesh Puppet for another three minutes and seventeen seconds, and nearly thirty percent of his Life Force was restored again.
Why was his recovery speed getting faster and faster?!
How long would it take to kill Jiang Chen at this rate?
“The answer is... never.”
Jiang Chen, feeling the power of the Star-burning Heart steadily recovering within his chest,
couldn’t help but smile.
“If the damage is lower than my recovery, you will never be able to defeat me.”
“But I will eventually surpass you, defeat you, kill you.”
“I am undying!”
