Chapter 298: Tell me, who is the boss now?

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

In Infinite Purgatory, “Asura” isn’t a race in the conventional sense.

Any kind of ghostly creature that possesses exceptional aptitude and stands out amongst countless others can become an “Asura”.

The Tiger Slash Asura was just like that.

Its tiger-headed and human-bodied appearance did not affect its status as an Asura.

Amongst the numerous Asuras, there was one incredibly unique existence.

[Purgatory Asura]

Its original name had long since been lost to the abyss.

Ever since it rose to power, slaughtering its way through various purgatories, and achieved legendary status in the realm of the dead, it was given the name [Purgatory].

Indeed, there were countless Asuras in Infinite Purgatory.

Yet, there was only one “Lord Asura”.

Even the trait [Extreme Battle Spirit] began to gain popularity in Infinite Purgatory since the emergence of the Purgatory Asura.

Therefore, even though the Purgatory Asura did not care,

in Raging Purgatory, almost all were its followers.

At this moment, the endless hundred demons on the circular mountain, upon seeing the “Six-armed Asura” in the arena, were full of astonishment—

This form that highly resembled the Purgatory Asura…

The nearly identical aura that seemed to stem from the same source…

Along with the Extreme Battle Spirit trait, and even many precious orb weapons…

Was this a younger version of the Purgatory Asura?

However, those concerned with such externals were mostly spectators.

The Tiger Slash Asura, on the other hand, ignored these details, fully immersing itself in the battle.

Its palms crossed, covering its tiger claws with a pair of sharp gauntlets, reflecting a cold, ghostly light.

At the same time, it made its move.

It appeared in front of Jiang Chen almost instantaneously and swung its weapon—

For combatants of this caliber, the Deathmatch Arena was about as small as a compact fighting ring, traveling back and forth in a blink.

Even if stationed at opposite ends of the field, they seemed but a stone’s throw away from each other.

This greatly weakened the pulling power of spatial abilities, affecting Jiang Chen’s combat effectiveness.

But Jiang Chen didn’t care about these things.

Because, he was equally skilled in close combat!

Boom!!!

Along with a fierce energy storm that tore apart the field, grinding the earth and stones to dust.

In their second exchange, Jiang Chen had actually managed to block the Tiger Slash Asura’s attack head-on—

After activating Stage 2.

Jiang Chen activated [Energy Overload] + [Limitation Unlock], boosting about 800 million in all attributes, at the expense of his Life Force and energy, stacking his total attributes to 3 billion.

Switching to output mode, his attributes became 3.9 billion in strength, 2.1 billion in agility.

With the effect of Extreme Battle Spirit, every strike could exert four times the force, totaling 15.6 billion.

Of course, this still fell short of the Tiger Slash Asura’s base strength of 18.6 billion.

Let alone its actual output of 74.4 billion.

But…

Jiang Chen invoking the Six-armed Asura stance wasn’t just for show.

The extra arms, in addition to releasing the abilities of the hand modules, could also be used to strike the enemy directly!

Each arm possessed a force of 15.6 billion, and although it wouldn’t be calculated additively,

it could still exceed the effect of a single limb with skilled combat techniques.

Furthermore—

Jiang Chen had been practicing Mecha Soul Fusion all this time, and his proficiency in Time Acceleration had also improved.

The buff to himself had elevated from a maximum of eight-fold speed to twelve-fold.

With twelve times acceleration, his 2.1 billion agility could achieve an effect of 25.2 billion!

In terms of speed, he had already surpassed the Tiger Slash Asura’s normal speed.

When compared in attack speed, he was significantly faster than the Tiger Slash Asura.

When skill levels were comparable, the faster combatant had the advantage, able to employ more combat techniques, such as exploiting the opponent’s openings and leveraging force…

Coupled with occasional inner force outbursts, the canceling out of weapon powers, and the strategic use of Extreme Battle Spirit moves…

What seemed to be a straightforward confrontation,

was actually the result of a combination of countless factors.

In a single breath, it included numerous instances of such “simple” confrontations and strategic exchanges.

Ultimately, even the noises merged into one—

Boom!!!!!!

After a blinding explosion, the ground turned into an abyss, and the size of the arena expanded by many times.

The Tiger Slash Asura was unexpectedly knocked back head-on, flying a great distance before coming to a halt mid-air, its aura fluctuating.

The more instantaneous exchanges there were, the greater the consumption of power.

Even with 9th Rank attributes, it felt fatigue and required a brief moment to recover some strength.

The voice that came through seemed dissatisfied with its stamina.

“That’s not very good, little tiger, you’re getting tired too quickly.”

“Compared to Master Chao and Master Luo, your endurance is far too lacking.”

“…”

The Tiger Slash Asura was silent for a moment.

It looked into the distance.

One could see a Six-armed Asura floating in mid-air, covered almost entirely in wounds.

Especially the six arms, which were nearly shattered, held together by some unknown force, continuing to exert power.

Blood flowed down like a fountain without end.

“…It looks like you’re the one who’s in worse shape, doesn’t it?”

“It’s just that it looks bad. Letting blood is healthier.”

As if to prove his point,

the Six-armed Asura’s injuries began to heal rapidly, with bones mending and flesh knitting back together in just a short time.

Even the thick blood on its body seemed to have a will to live. During the healing, many small flesh buds emerged, burrowing back into the body.

Shortly after,

Jiang Chen’s wounds had healed once more.

He said with a smile,

“You should be able to feel it, I’m getting healthier, right?”

“…”

The Tiger Slash Asura fell silent.

It could predict the enemy’s movements through its soul, and naturally could sense the enemy’s condition.

Just as Jiang Chen said.

After sustaining so many injuries and losing so much blood,

his Life Force showed no signs of waning…

On the contrary, it was actually increasing!

How was that possible?

You should know, even ghosts with strong regenerative abilities would consume their Life Force while healing their wounds.

Actions such as limb regeneration would consume even more Life Force.

Once the Life Force was completely depleted, one would utterly perish.

However, during Jiang Chen’s battle, his Life Force increased instead of decreased, completely defying logic.

The more he fought, the more blood there was?

How then could one win?

Invincible?

It was precisely this puzzlement that made the Tiger Slash Asura pause, taking a breather instead of launching a relentless assault.

At this moment, a bizarre thought unavoidably arose in its mind.

Could this guy…

actually grow stronger through battle?

…And indeed, that was the case.

Although Jiang Chen could utilize various means to confront the Tiger Slash Asura head on,

there was a significant gap in defense strength between the two.

Jiang Chen’s base defense was only 2.2 billion, and after activating the Limitation Unlock, it even weakened to 1.54 billion.

Such low defense meant that even without taking direct hits, he was continually getting injured during the clashes.

That was the source of all his injuries.

But this was exactly what Jiang Chen needed!

With each injury he sustained, his body’s yearning for recovery rose by a layer.

The Star Phoenix Primordial Blood was indeed a Mythical Life Primordial Blood of the life series!

The Star Phoenix, undying—upon investing a star core, it could experience Nirvana Rebirth—

This power, gradually absorbed by Jiang Chen, gradually intensified the effect of the Module Specialization trait and began influencing the abilities Jiang Chen possessed!

The first to be affected was Boulder Form.

Initially, under the influence of Module Specialization, it turned into flesh hardening, enhancing defense.

After assimilating the Star Phoenix Primordial Blood, aligned with Jiang Chen’s own traits, a stronger unique evolution occurred—

Boulder Form gained a new effect:

Originally it provided fivefold defense, tenfold recovery, with the inability to move.

Now, it was possible to activate just half of the Boulder Form, enhancing defense by 2.5 times and recovery by five times while maintaining normal movement.

In other words, only the bones and parts of the body’s surface skin would harden, providing corresponding defense.

With this change, Jiang Chen’s defensive capabilities in battle received an extremely strong boost, significantly slowing the rate at which he was injured.

However…

The real significant improvement was in the Infinite Core provided by Master Chao.

Rebirth, Nirvana, core, recovery.

These attributes were highly compatible with the Star Phoenix Primordial Blood.

Even the primeval mecha had absorbed the power of the Star Phoenix Egg.

Thus, the special effect of the Infinite Core underwent a qualitative transformation.

Initially, it provided three Life Force Cores, offering a rate of Life Force recovery and, when sustaining fatal injuries, would automatically burst to block the damage (up to ten times the maximum Life Force).

Now, the Life Force Cores had transformed from condensed Life Force substances into actual “hearts.”

These “hearts” beat within Jiang Chen’s body, serving all the purposes of a heart while also providing Life Force recovery rate.

Moreover, they contained Life Force equal to ten times the limit of his blood volume.

Even without suffering fatal injuries, it was possible to manually squeeze the Life Force hearts to release Life Force in advance.

Of course, releasing the Life Force would also result in the reduction or even complete loss of the Life Force heart’s life-saving ability.

Regrettably…

Jiang Chen had not fully absorbed the Star Phoenix Primordial Blood.

Therefore, the Infinite Core had not fully achieved the Mythical Specialization, and only one Life Force Core had been transformed into a Life Force heart.

However, this was essentially as if Jiang Chen had gained an increase in his Life Force limit by ten times from nowhere!

This dramatic increase in Life Force,

when observed by the Tiger Slash Asura, naturally appeared as Jiang Chen’s Life Force becoming more and more robust, showing no fatigue—

Initially, by the effect of Infinite Vitality,

Jiang Chen already possessed thrice his usual volume of blood.

Now, with an additional tenfold supply,

the Tiger Slash Asura hadn’t even depleted one volume of blood; how far could this go?

“And moreover…”

“The Life Force heart has retained the properties of the Life Force Core, automatically repairing once every hour.”

“This recovery time is not ‘absolute time’ and can be influenced by temporal abilities.”

“In other words, if I use Time Acceleration on myself, the repair speed of the Life Force heart will also accelerate at a corresponding rate!”

“Twelvefold Time Acceleration…”

“I can complete a repair in five minutes!”

Jiang Chen wore a smile across his face.

Now it was: every five minutes, tenfold blood volume was repaired.

When Module Specialization fully evolves into Mythical Specialization,

it will be a repair of thirtyfold blood volume every five minutes.

Coupled with Zero’s extremely high life growth…

Come on, tell me.

Who really is the boss?

“Are you not going to attack?”

“Then I guess I have to make my move, right?”

Jiang Chen flexed his body.

In order to boost output, and to also increase the frequency of injury, he was enhancing the efficiency of absorbing Star Phoenix Primordial Blood.

Behind him grew slender tendrils of flesh that whipped around chaotically in the air.

While these tendrils were not as powerful as arms, they still shared the strength and Life Force of Jiang Chen’s body.

And each tendril was capable of demonstrating combat skills equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster, even using martial techniques.

The next moment, the Six-armed Asura, with dozens of thick tendrils sprouting from its back, crossed the Void and stood before the Tiger Slash Asura.

“Come on, beat me to death!!!”

“…”

The endless hundred demons on the circular mountain watched the two monsters clashing fiercely, momentarily speechless.

It was now certain that this definitely wasn’t Lord Asura’s alt account…

But, is this really a mecha pilot?

I created a game for Android Idle Ninja Empire , I could use a little support in promoting it, just download it and play for a while. Thank you in advance.
