Chapter 135: Chapter 106: The Strike of 260,000 Strength!_1

Jiang Chen had run the Abyss difficulty level four hundred times, performing a thorough “attribute assessment” for four hundred Abyss overlords.

As such, he was very familiar with how to determine the attributes of an Abyss overlord.

There was no need for any scanning devices.

Simply by observing an enemy’s movements and attacking the enemy’s body once, he could easily discern the opponent’s approximate attributes.

Especially for an old acquaintance like Master Chao, Jiang Chen was able to grasp his essence with just a brief encounter.

Given Jiang Chen’s attribute strength, him at the Endless Difficulty Level also underwent an enhancement.

It was akin to evolving from an [Ordinary Transcender] into a [War Veteran Transcender].

In his most powerful draconian form, he possessed around fifty thousand in force agility and defense—three attributes!

These attributes were stronger than Jiang Chen’s at Stage 3 but weaker than the eighty-thousand force agility during a full-power burst.

Considering that the full-power burst could only be maintained for at most fifty to sixty seconds,

Transcenders with a resurrection mechanism don’t fear being killed instantly.

Thus, this level of attributes can be said to be quite troublesome.

Particularly when facing the steam mecha and the primeval mecha, even if they had already initiated Stage 2 and their attributes were nearly twenty thousand,

the Transcender still demonstrated overwhelming combat prowess.

He took the steam mecha’s output head-on, relying on his own strong recovery abilities to chase down and violently attack the primeval mecha.

In the end, he transformed his right hand into a colossal pincer, forcibly snapping the primeval mecha into two halves!

“My lord, Yun, I’ll leave the rest to you…”

With a voice full of acceptance, Zero temporarily exited the stage.

Accompanied by the mecha reverting back into abyss atmosphere and returning to the Abyss Rune.

A surge of power flowed into Jiang Chen’s body.

[Talent Trigger: Undying Barehand.]

[Mecha absorbed: primeval mecha: Zero-Type 2 remnants.]

“I actually triggered a talent!”

Even though Jiang Chen had suspected it, he still expressed a hint of surprise at this moment.

A mecha “not his own,” even if personally piloted and shattered, could not trigger a talent and would not increase attributes.

A mecha “belonging to himself,” even without personally piloting it, merely by infusing it with Life Force Energy, would trigger a talent and gain an attribute increase once destroyed.

It seemed that the fundamental element for triggering a talent was not [piloting the mecha], but [binding the mecha]!

At that moment, Jiang Chen was still in a state of Mecha Soul Fusion.

After absorbing Zero’s power, his attributes grew, and Yun immediately received feedback.

Every aspect of his attributes received a slight enhancement.

Even though the enhancement was not much, for Yun, it was still a powerful motivational effect.

[General Zero rest assured, I will carry your strength and fight alongside our lord!]

Meanwhile.

The Transcender also noticed the change in the steam mecha.

After the initial surprise, he revealed a flamboyant smile.

“What’s the point even if you’ve grown slightly stronger?”

“In the face of the undying me, your struggle is just a deathbed twitch!”

“Try your best to please me!”

As arrogant as he was, the steam mecha was indeed incapable of handling the Transcender.

Although after initiating full-power mode, the steam mecha, through multiple stacked Energy Overloads, possessed over forty thousand in both force and agility,

it was still no match for the War Veteran Transcender.

Not to mention, the Transcender’s strongest aspect was his terrifying recovery ability.

And the steam mecha was precisely lacking in recovery capabilities!

The battle between the two was like a heavily armored tank fighting a fragile assassin.

The steam mecha had a brief output of attacks, but the Transcender simply tanked it and recovered quickly, taking hardly any damage.

On the other hand, the Transcender took advantage of this opportunity to swiftly bite into the steam mecha, brutally crushing large parts of gears and armor plates.

After exchanging blows, the steam mecha was at a pure loss.

Moreover, the steam mecha’s overload mode inherently operated at an overload and would continually consume Armor Value.

Without much output, it reached its limit.

Yun’s voice of regret rose in the depths of Jiang Chen’s heart.

[Lord, take care, I will follow General Zero’s path…]

The voice echoed along with the mecha shattering into smithereens.

Yun’s last energy surged into Jiang Chen’s body.

[Talent Trigger: Undying Barehand.]

[Mecha absorbed: Overload Steam Yun-Type 3.]

[Strength 36,600 → 51,200]

[Agility 34,700 → 49,300]

[Defense 31,300 → 45,500]

[Enigmatism 7,100 → 10,600]

[Special: Triple Life Force limit, recover 137.17 life per second (doubled under sunlight), 43.79 Stamina.]

[Special Abilities (non-cumulative): Roots Core, Infinite Vitality, Limitation Unlock.]

[Zero/1st Rank abilities: omitted. (Reorganized, some merged into 2nd Rank)]

[2nd Rank Abilities: Blood Demon Transformation*6, Thorns Overgrowth*6, Touch of Extreme Cold*36, Energy Overload*15, Bio-organic Intelligence*3.]

It was another extreme surge in growth.

Jiang Chen’s three main base attributes of force, agility, and defense were now almost on par with the War Veteran Transcender.

Not to mention, he still had the ability to activate full-power mode and explosively enhance his force and agility.

At this moment, he was preparing to launch an attack.

However, the Transcender stopped in his tracks, his voice filled with surprise.

“Is it really you?”

The change in the primeval mecha was so drastic, and with the infusion of the Star Phoenix Egg’s power, it was no longer purely the Roots Force.

Jiang Chen’s true form was piloting the steam mecha and had not revealed himself.

Therefore, it was not until the steam mecha broke apart, disclosing Jiang Chen’s appearance,

that the Transcender recognized him.

Jiang Chen also paused for a moment, floating in the air.

“What’s the matter, Master Chao? Has it only been a few days, and you’ve already forgotten an old friend?”

“A few days? Is time in your world really passing so slowly?”
