Chapter 227: Did Not Even Use Full Strength
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Jiang Chen’s three heads spoke in unison, their voices overlapping and spreading outwards.
The host of ghosts that served as the audience on the surrounding mountains fell silent upon hearing this.
The Purgatory Asura, with six arms and standing over twenty meters tall, was clad in blood-golden battle armor, looking majestic and powerful enough to silence mortals…
You have two more heads than Lord Asura and still call yourself human?
Who would believe that!
Smack!!
The Purgatory Asura raised three hands, attempting to block Jiang Chen’s slap.
But he was directly smacked back, retreating a few steps as the colliding air waves dispersed the dust on the ground.
He felt this surging power, and couldn’t help showing a joyful expression on his ferocious, crimson face.
“Good, good, good, this power is truly wonderful.”
“Since you say you’re human, then let’s just assume you are.”
“Come, fight with me!”
With those words, the Purgatory Asura swung his weapon, launching an attack on Jiang Chen without hesitation!
At that moment, he directly showed the same ferocious demeanor he had when destroying three mechas, with both his movement speed and weapon power pushed to the extreme!
“What do you mean by ‘assume I am human’?”
“In what way do I not resemble a human?”
Jiang Chen moved at an extremely fast speed.
To be more precise—
“Time” was flowing too quickly on Jiang Chen’s body, compared to Purgatory Asura.
At a rate four times accelerated, Jiang Chen’s agility was quadrupled, making him appear behind Purgatory Asura in an instant, at a blind spot in his vision.
[Shadow Assault] ability triggered!
Enigmatic value boosted to speed, greatly increasing attack speed!
In just an instant, Jiang Chen’s six arms threw out thousands of punch shadows!
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The super high punch speed combined with ultimate strength caused the air to burst, the land to tremble beneath this power, and mountains to begin crumbling.
The ghosts closest to the action were directly turned into dust by the aftermath!
Of course, Purgatory Asura was not unscathed.
He temporarily entered a shadow state through the ability of the Shadow Orb, avoiding the first round of attacks.
However, the duration of the shadow state was limited.
When the shadow ended, and he faced the attack, he took out the fifth orb.
[Radiance Orb]
He squeezed it firmly, and the orb transformed into a halo around his body, forming a protective shield.
Even though Jiang Chen could unleash countless punch shadows every moment, the shield was extremely tough, buying Purgatory Asura a brief respite.
He then transformed the Flame Sword and Thunder Spear back into their orb form.
With a wide-open mouth, he swallowed the flame and thunder orbs directly into his stomach.
Instantly, thunder roared and flames coiled around him.
Amidst the confluence of thunder and flame, the armor of Purgatory Asura almost shattered, yet his skin surface manifested patterns of thunder and fire, and both speed and power received a tremendous boost.
As the protective barrier of the Radiance Orb shattered, transforming into a hammer of light that fell into its palm.
With eyes growing on the back of its head, it wielded a Shadow Dagger, light hammer, flame sword, ice disc, thunder spear, and wind blade—six weapons in total—as it confronted Jiang Chen—
It actually managed to hold off Jiang Chen’s offensive head-on!
Although its speed was still far behind Jiang Chen’s, its exquisite movements and combat skills held an absolute advantage.
Even when facing attacks as rapid as a tempest, it could dodge most with its movement techniques, deflecting and parrying the remaining attacks with its weapons—
Not relying on defense and recovery.
But rather withstanding the onslaught in a direct confrontation!
The two twenty-plus meter tall Six-armed Rakshasa could exchange countless attacks in an instant, the ensuing shockwaves forming hurricanes that almost destroyed the entire arena!
However, the Hundred Demons of the Purgatory harbored no fear of death.
Even as countless demons perished in the battles of the two Asuras every moment, they still clung to the broken mountains, intently watching the battlefield, afraid of missing a single moment.
The Purgatory Asura laughed heartily.
“Haha, exhilarating, this is so exhilarating!”
“I never expected that among humans, there would be someone as powerful as you!”
“Not only possessing speed and strength but also a robust body and extremely sophisticated combat skills!”
“Though nowhere near my level, you can certainly be called a Master!”
“This is just so thrilling!”
What the Purgatory Asura said was true.
The Weapons Master trait used by Jiang Chen was obtained from the original Six-armed Rakshasa.
It had gone through countless life and death battles and honed combat skills worthy of a Master, able to effortlessly use all weapons including fists and feet, and to easily detect others’ vulnerabilities.
This battle experience was also completely absorbed by Jiang Chen through the trait.
But…
A Master is ultimately just a Master.
In the Infinite Purgatory, the Six-armed Rakshasa wasn’t a particularly unique or powerful entity.
There were demons everywhere that were stronger and possessed more formidable combat skills than it did.
For instance, this Purgatory Asura, whose combat skills far surpassed those of the Six-armed Rakshasa, was a Grandmaster among Grandmasters.
With fundamental attributes of only a little over two million, it could leverage its combat skills to achieve a combat strength of seven million.
Without even needing to exert its full strength, it could singlehandedly defeat three Mechas unscathed.
It was precisely those combat techniques, combined with certain attribute enhancements, that achieved the remarkable feat of countering four times time acceleration—
Bear in mind, this was the noble power of time manipulation!
Even at a fourfold increase, in the lower levels of the Abyss, it was enough to execute a dimensional strike!
“The Weapons Master is indeed far inferior to the Weapon Grandmaster…”
Jiang Chen realized this fact but wasn’t too disappointed.
He already possessed the Weapons Master trait, equivalent to having a super talent of a martial arts prodigy…
If he couldn’t surpass a Weapon Grandmaster, couldn’t he learn?
Just like now, as Jiang Chen confronted the Purgatory Asura, he observed its attacking techniques, using his own super high computational abilities to learn its combat skills!
Even if he couldn’t surpass it in a short time, his own combat skills were growing rapidly!
Just keep engaging and grinding for a while longer.
Sooner or later, he would be able to learn its combat techniques and evolve from Master to Grandmaster!
One minute…
Ten minutes…
Thirty minutes…
An hour…
The two Asuras grew more valiant as they fought, neither showing signs of exhaustion, while all the spectators had already died off.
The land itself had been struck into ruin, forming a bottomless pit dotted with countless subterranean rivers cascading into the abyss as waterfalls.
During the fight, Jiang Chen’s combat skills soared dramatically.
If described by numbers…
[Weapons Mastery Proficiency +10000]
Unfortunately, all battles come to an end.
Jiang Chen swiftly repelled Purgatory Asura and retreated to a distance.
Knowing he couldn’t catch up, Purgatory Asura stopped chasing and reluctantly said,
“What? No more fighting?”
“Why not join me and battle to perfect our Martial Arts Way, fighting on forever?”
For many years, Purgatory Asura had never felt the exhilaration of such a well-matched opponent.
He didn’t want to lose this formidable adversary.
“I have other business to attend to, we’ll fight later.”
Jiang Chen hadn’t come to challenge Purgatory Asura just to practice martial arts.
It was to test the repair time of Yuu after she had been shattered in mecha combat.
The actual conclusion was that after Yuu suffered damage, her recovery time while dormant inside his body was about the same as a steam mecha’s—over an hour.
Knowing the repair time allowed him to adjust her properties and combine her with Zero and Yun to form [Stage 1 Expanded Armor].
Now, Yuu was almost fully repaired.
Naturally, Jiang Chen wasn’t about to waste time here continuing to duel with Purgatory Asura.
At this moment, his muscles swelled even more, and his energy began to surge rapidly.
A multitude of luminous patterns emerged on his skin, and on the cheeks of his three heads, multiple pairs of luminous eyes open.
[Limitation Unlock], [Return to Primal State], [Output Mode]!
Yes—
Jiang Chen had fought for an entire hour without activating his true explosive form!
After all, the explosive state lasted for a brief duration, consumed a substantial amount of life force and physical strength, and abilities like Return to Primal State had a cooldown as long as six hours.
It wouldn’t have been advantageous for Jiang Chen to absorb the experience of Purgatory Asura or to improve his combat skills.
The [Asura Form] he was displaying was merely the activation of a small portion of energy overload, combined with Bio-organism Simulacra to transform his combat physique.
These six arms were also simulacra arms.
They only had the ability to swing fists and couldn’t harness or inherit module effects.
Only now, as he planned to end the fight, did he activate a new stage.
“Master Luo, to thank you for your careful instruction during this Martial Arts Way lesson…”
“Let me show you a glimpse of my full strength.”
A fifty-meter-tall three-headed, six-armed giant with luminous patterns stood still, displaying a fierce smile.
At this moment, with many abilities combined,
He temporarily possessed 12 million base strength and over 20 million practical speed.
As a 2nd Rank mecha pilot, he officially stepped into the domain of 6th Rank!
Purgatory Asura, feeling that overwhelming energy, finally realized as he looked upon the terrifying giant.
All along, he hadn’t been able to make his opponent use full strength…
The one who hadn’t been able to fully enjoy the fight was himself.
However, he didn’t fear death; instead, he was fascinated by the mighty giant.
“Such mighty, such beautiful power—”
Whoosh!
The giant moved as if teleporting, appearing in front of Purgatory Asura.
He swung his six arms, and even though he knew he was no match, he still exerted his full strength to resist.
Until the giant swung his six fists, landing them on his body—
12 million base strength, utilizing the inner force outburst from “Muscle Warrior,” executed an attack exceeding 20 million in strength.
Boom!!!!
Purgatory Asura instantly exploded, turning into fine mist of blood that merged with the air—
The air itself was blasted apart by the punch, forming a narrow wave that split the clouds in two.
This moment marked the dispersion of Purgatory Asura upon the boundless land, leaving no trace behind.
