Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

even the Tiger Slash Asura with its Extreme Battle Spirit lost its sensing of Jiang Chen within an incredibly short span of time.

It immediately heightened its focus, and in a brief moment, it recaptured Jiang Chen’s signal.

Behind it.

The Tiger Slash Asura’s back felt cold and its hair stood on end.

Its battle instincts, derived from the Extreme Battle Spirit, made it realize one thing.

It was too late.

[Shadow Assault]

When in a state invisible to the opponent, attack speed is increased.

The trigger condition is quite demanding, especially in high rank duels, it’s almost impossible to trigger.

However, once triggered, the boost in attack speed is tremendously exaggerated.

[Void Splitting]

This kind of spatial ability, although it cannot stack with strength, its inherent destructive power is extremely exaggerated.

Its base is 4th Rank, yet its power ceiling reaches two million, comparable to a 5th Rank ability.

In these days, it was always Vitaz in sedimentation.

That’s why [Void Splitting], just like the basic attributes, was stacked into an 8th Rank ability, with a power ceiling reaching 200 billion, equivalent to 9th Rank.

With the Extreme Battle Spirit bonus, quadruple capability, 800 billion power.

Module Specialization bonus, an additional increase of one time (trait bonus, same multiplication zone, additive calculation), 1 trillion power.

It had already reached the level of 10th Rank!

Not to mention—

[Six arms, sixfold strikes]

By the time the Tiger Slash Asura sensed Jiang Chen, it was already too late.

Countless Void fissures, like a fine net, completely enveloped it, sealing off all its movements, surpassing its reactions.

There was no possibility of dodging.

The Tiger Slash Asura sensed its impending end clearly and, with the last fleeting moment, transmitted a modicum of fluctuation.

“…How much of your strength did you use?”

“About thirty percent.”

“…”

It too possessed the trait of Extreme Battle Spirit.

The base attributes were nearly ten times stronger, almost surpassing a 1st Rank.

Yet it could only force out thirty percent of his strength?

The Tiger Slash Asura had no doubts.

It did not even have the time to feel any regret before being completely engulfed by the Void fissures, thoroughly shredded into pieces.

Blood mist dispersed.

The Tiger Slash Asura instantly became tiger mince.

Within the fine minced blood, a massive amount of abyss atmosphere escaped, flowing into the Abyss Rune.

[Killing the Tiger Slash Asura, obtained Mythical module: Phantom Combo Strike (Supercharged).

[You have won the endless challenge, the current winning streak: 17 (the streak will be settled when the endless challenge ends).

…

[Phantom Combo Strike (Supercharged)]

[Rank: 4th (Upgraded to 9th)]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Type: Upper Limb Module]

[Effect One: After equipping, grants special phantoms to the upper limbs, which can consume mecha energy to add phantom attacks during melee combat. (Non-stacking)]

[Effect Two: Phantom attacks do not trigger any special effects. The power is related to the melee attack power and the enigmatic value. (Up to 100%)]

[Effect Three: The number of phantom attacks is related to the module rank. (For every four ranks the module increases, an additional phantom strike is gained)]

[Effect Four: The mecha must undergo one sublimation before it can be equipped.]

[Description: Having many hands is awesome? I have many shadows!]

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up as he scanned over the spoils dropped by the minced tiger.

Truly worthy of a Legendary Overlord to drop such high-quality loot!

The just slain Tiger Slash Asura utilized phantom attacks during its assault to increase its attack frequency, as well as to cover multiple areas.

This caused Jiang Chen to be unable to utilize methods like Void Traversing or Shadow form for forceful evasion; he could only clash with it directly.

Of course, this also meant sealing off its phantom attack counts, reducing its attack frequency.

“Additional phantoms essentially increase the attack speed multiplier, and they’re independent multiplicative areas…”

“As long as there’s sufficient energy, the attack frequency can experience an explosive increase!”

“Just so happens, Yun is proficient in melee combat and owns the [Instantaneous Explosive Strike] module, enhancing melee attack power, which can form a combination for multiple critical hits instantaneously…”

“I can give this to her.”

Jiang Chen was pleased.

Shida had told him that the attributes of modules produced by abyss monsters are related to the mecha pilot’s own rank and the strength of the abyss monster.

A low-ranked mecha pilot defeating a high-ranked monster often drops more exceptional modules.

The requirements for these modules are often lower, similar to other modules.

Like this Phantom Combo Strike module,

there are abundant resources at the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant, definitely many modules with similar effects.

But often, only after three or even four sublimations, meaning mechas of 10th Rank or above, can equip them.

High rank modules that can be equipped at lower ranks are considered top-quality resources even in ancient civilizations.

Even when trading with other civilizations and exchanging materials, they wouldn’t be placed here in the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant.

“I am a low-ranked mecha pilot, what’s exploded are modules meant for low-ranked use, this is quite reasonable!”

However…

Modules are just an unexpected gain.

Yun is still boosting the mecha soul strength with Zero and the others, and can’t equip new modules for the time being.

Jiang Chen withdrew his thoughts and looked at that lump of tiger sauce.

After the Tiger Slash Asura died, part of the abyss atmosphere that drifted out entered the Abyss Rune, resulting in production, but it was not the end.

More abyss atmosphere overflowed, and was directly absorbed by his body.

The Star Phoenix Primordial Blood had already ticked up to 99% digestion progress, jumped another tick, and hit 99.9%.

At the same time, Jiang Chen, in a daze, seemed to see an enormously vast life form.

It stood like a star, magnificent, dancing through the universe, every moment releasing an overwhelming Life Force.

This Life Force even spilled out into speckles of starlight, falling upon planets, kindling the Origin of Life.

Under this overwhelming Life Force, countless beings were born as a result.

Compared to it, Jiang Chen, whether in size or presence, was like the difference between heaven and earth.

[I am the Origin of Life, the Constellation Phoenix…]

[Submit to me, inherit my power…]

It seemed like a voice was ringing at the bottom of Jiang Chen’s heart.

The majestic presence made one’s spirit tremble, daring not to harbor even a smidge of rebellious thoughts, pressing down on him, wanting to make him submit.

Was this the lingering consciousness of the Star Phoenix?

It wasn’t.

Jiang Chen “saw” the Star Phoenix as descriptions of the Mythical Specialization pathway flowed in his mind.

When mecha pilots absorbed Mythical Life Primordial Blood and reached the limit, they would face the final threshold: [Mythical Gene].

Humans are ordinary life forms, their foundation nowhere near those of Mythical Life that roamed the universe from the beginning.

Therefore, when Mythical Genes accumulate in large amounts within the body, they will suppress human genes.

That is, the “intimidation” stemming from instinct.

If one cannot withstand this pressure at that time, they will be completely devoured by Mythical Genes, transforming into a monster—

Of course, that is what happens when ordinary people absorb Mythical Life Primordial Blood.

Mecha pilots are shielded by the trait [Module Specialization]; if they cannot withstand it, it’s just a failed attempt.

However, every failure stacks up Mythical Genes, making the next digestion even more difficult.

If one wants to completely overcome this threshold.

Mecha pilots need to absorb the abyss atmosphere, activate their Mythical Conscious Soul, and transform the gene confrontation into this special mentality.

Next, they just need to maintain their original intent, and mimic the presence of Mythical Life.

Then they will cause their own genes to evolve towards Mythical Life, gradually achieving [Trait Sublimation].

Many people are unable to succeed in one go and need multiple imitations to completely finish the evolution.

“This is a battle of genes, just visualized…”

Jiang Chen “saw” the mighty Star Phoenix, his fighting spirit boiling in his heart.

Other mecha pilots are ordinary humans.

But he is different.

He is the one who has absorbed the power of mechas and evolved the Perfect Body, the perfect human!

Comparing the same rank, it’s another matter whether the body of Mythical Life could beat him.

Suppression? Imitation?

[I am the Origin of Life, the Constellation Phoenix…]

[Submit to me, inherit my power…]

Jiang Chen felt the invisible voice and grinned.

His “body” too began to expand incessantly, from twenty-odd meters, to a thousand feet, to planetary, to stellar size…

His presence surged violently, revealing the Demon God Supernatural Appearance, enhanced by Return to Primal State!

All attributes unleashed!

Jiang Chen transformed into a terrifying Demon God with Three Heads and Six Arms and viciously pounced toward the Star Phoenix.

“Submit?”

“It’s you who will submit to me!”

…

This was just the mentality constructed by the trait [Module Specialization] through the abyss atmosphere.

Essentially, it was the confrontation at the genetic level between Jiang Chen and the Star Phoenix.

And in reality.

Endless Deathmatch Arena.

Jiang Chen’s eyes blood-red, displayed the form of Three Heads and Six Arms, behind him manifested a nearly seventy meters tall Demon God Supernatural Appearance with Three Heads and Six Arms.

He looked at the horse-head monster that fell into the Deathmatch Arena, revealing a fierce grin.

“…”

The horse-head monster was dumbfounded.

Its base attributes were only 10 billion higher than the Tiger Slash Asura, with the Weapon Grandmaster trait, not a Legendary Overlord…

You don’t unleash your burst against Mythical, but you do against me?

You think too highly of me!

The next moment.

[You have achieved victory in the Endless Challenge, current winning streak: 18 (Winning streak will be tallied when Endless Challenge ends).]
