Chapter 294: Chapter 197: Let Me See Your Limit!_2

“You can only absorb one type of primordial blood at a time, and there’s a chance of failure.”
“The more times you absorb primordial blood, the higher the probability of failure.”
“In a perfect scenario, you would succeed ten times with ten drops of primordial blood.”
Jiang Chen felt that he should only need ten attempts to awaken Legendary Traits—
After all, the genetic sequence evolution of a mech pilot into a universe-class living being clearly favors physique type mecha pilots.
He happens to be a physique type mecha pilot with a [Perfect Body].
On this Legendary Path, he should naturally have a stronger advantage.
At this moment, his gaze swept over ten vials of [Mythical Life Primordial Blood].
With a thought, one of the vials of primordial blood floated into his palm.
[Star Phoenix Primordial Blood]
Mythical Life sounds grand, but it’s really just some naturally powerful abyssal monsters.
As long as it’s an abyssal monster, it can be killed using Abyss Rune and yield all sorts of materials.
Even the past Planet Blue Star had encountered a Mythical Life known as [Star Phoenix]—
A big shot once obtained Its [Star Phoenix Egg], which Jiang Chen used as a material to enhance Zero.
The ancient civilization regarded it as “material of slightly higher quality,” and Shida once had many reserves in the cargo he carried.
Jiang Chen specifically selected a few familiar Mythical Life primordial bloods.
The Star Phoenix was one of them.
Jiang Chen opened the vial, and under the tug of power, the drop of Star Phoenix blood split into countless illusory flames that swarmed toward him.
They entered his body through his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
When everything settled, Jiang Chen sensed around and discovered that inside every cell of his body, a dim illusory flame was deposited.
There was not the slightest intention to be digested.
As expected, he must fight to proceed.
Without delay.
Jiang Chen retrieved the three mechas back into the Abyss Rune and left the Universal Enhancement Zone, heading towards the Endless Deathmatch Arena.
…
The Endless Deathmatch Arena was on one side of the Purgatory level.
From a distance, it looked like an incredibly large Ring Mountain Range, with countless tunnel-like entrances at the bottom.
Swathes of luminous beings were entering and exiting the tunnels, almost forming a path made of light.
“This deathmatch arena has quite the presence…”
Jiang Chen thought oddly to himself and followed the path of light into the tunnel.
The moment he stepped inside, it was as if he had passed through a barrier.
Starting from the tips of his toes, all parts of him that crossed the barrier returned to their physical state, no different from reality.
Additionally, all the luminous beings disappeared as if he had entered a separate interdimensional space.
Jiang Chen had previously experienced this sensation in the Enhancement Zone and was not surprised; he continued walking forward.
As he passed through the tunnel and fully entered the [Endless Deathmatch Arena].
A massive arena surrounded by vast mountain ranges came into view.
The mountains seemed to have become spectator stands, filled with an endless horde of ghosts, erupting in a roar like ocean waves.
“This Endless Deathmatch Arena has definitely been built by Master Luo!”
“So many years have passed, and It has already expanded Its dojo business to the Purgatory level?”
Considering Purgatory Asura’s temperament, doing such a thing made sense.
Jiang Chen looked at the scene of the Deathmatch Arena and felt an inexplicable sense of homecoming, and couldn’t help but wave to the audience.
The endless hundred demons sitting in the spectator stands became even more excited.
It was at this moment.
Shadows flowed and turned into a green-faced ferocious demon standing beside Jiang Chen, squeezing out a hideous smile.
“Welcome, mecha pilot from the Purgatory level.”
“Is this your first time at the Endless Deathmatch Arena? Do you need me to introduce the rules?”
“…please do.”
“At the Endless Deathmatch Arena, you can choose from three types of challenges…”
The challenge methods and rules the green-faced ferocious demon explained were essentially the same as what Jiang Chen already knew.
They were divided into Deathmatch Challenge, Mecha Challenge, and Endless Challenge.
The Deathmatch Challenge was between mecha pilots and occurred very seldom, which didn’t interest Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen wanted to undertake both the Mecha Challenge and the Endless Challenge at the same time—
Zero, Yun, and Yuu, the three mechas, had already become extremely well-coordinated.
Jiang Chen just needed to apply [Mecha Soul Fusion] to boost their strength, and they could fight, challenge, and brush up on mecha soul strength on their own.
Rather than watching from the side, he might as well take advantage of the Endless Challenge to digest the Mythical Life Primordial Blood, killing two birds with one stone.
“Dual challenge? No problem!”
The green-faced ferocious demon heard Jiang Chen’s request and snapped its fingers cheerfully.
A slender screen of light quickly rose in the center of the Ring Mountain Range, dividing the Deathmatch Arena in half—
“`
Meanwhile, the interior space of the Deathmatch Arena expanded and stretched rapidly.
The enlarged space of the Deathmatch Arena was several times its original size. After being divided in half, it did not shrink but instead became larger.
“The arena is ready; you may start the challenge at any time.”
Jiang Chen nodded and raised his hand to activate the Abyss Rune.
An aura dissipated, transforming into the primordial state, steam, and a demonic dragon. Three mecha stood in place.
Since they were about to engage in battle, they couldn’t afford to waste a precious module slot on a Simulacra Module.
They were each equipped with an intelligent module, and three attribute modules, providing perfect attributes.
The three mechas already knew the purpose of the challenge, and each of them was rubbing their hands with eager anticipation.
Yun couldn’t contain his excitement, and the steam spurting from his exhaust pipes almost formed clouds in the sky above.
Yuu merged into the large shadow cast by her sizeable physique.
Zero stood in front of Yun, brimming with vitality.
“Sir, you can go without worry!”
“With Zero here, no insignificant foe can harm Yun and Yuu!”
Yun clenched his fist, and the armor on his fist made a muffled clanging sound.
“Very well, General Zero. Defense is up to you. I, along with General Yuu, will handle the maneuvering and output!”
Behind Yun, a pair of dragon eyes lit up within the shadow.
“Hmm.”
Jiang Chen was very satisfied to see the three mechas full of vitality.
In his heart, he stirred and initiated [Time Deceleration Fusion] through the connection between the mechas.
With the infusion of a massive amount of Life Force Energy, the momentum of the three mechas soared, breaking through to the strength of 8th Rank—
While Jiang Chen was enhancing the mechas, Vitaz was not idle.
Or rather, she didn’t come to the Purgatory level at all but stayed on Planet Blue Star, sleeping within Jiang Chen’s physical body.
Whenever she woke up, she would actively seek a fight with Bai Ying, get knocked unconscious, and absorb…
She provided a steady supply of substantial attribute growth every day.
Jiang Chen took nine days to enhance the mechas.
She slept straight through for nine days.
Every day she provided an attribute increase of 115 million!
[Current total attributes: 12 billion → 22 billion]
Therefore, even if the attributes from Mecha Soul Fusion were halved,
It could still bring 11 billion in base attributes to the mechas!
Zero, Yun, and Yuu, after a period of tempering, successfully withstood this terrifying enhancement.
Even the weakest Yun could persist for about sixteen seconds under Time-Speed Fusion.
Under Time Deceleration Fusion, the duration reached 1024 seconds, over seventeen minutes!
That was enough to last through some duration of the battle.
“Most importantly…”
“Defeating stronger enemies brings a greater increase to the strength of the mecha soul.”
“Zero, Yun, and Yuu are basically 3rd Rank mechas, only brought above 8th Rank through [Mecha Soul Fusion].”
“When they overcome strong opponents out of their league, both the [Refining Soul Using Source] equipment and the rules of [Endless Deathmatch] will significantly enhance their mecha souls’ strength…
“Their effect far surpasses others!”
“If each fight ends quickly, the remaining duration might even increase as they continue…”
The duration of Mecha Soul Fusion was limited.
The three mechas did not delay and immediately entered the Endless Deathmatch Arena to start the challenge.
When the challenge began, on the surrounding Ring Mountain Range, amid the endless hundred demons, three glows transformed into meteors and fell.
They also possessed the life strength of 8th Rank, corresponding to each of the three mechas.
However, they did not scatter.
The moment they entered the arena, they collectively launched an attack on the steam mecha!
One emaciated demon, in particular, wielded its weapon and struck itself—
As blood splattered, an invisible blade of shadow formed on the surface of the steam mecha, ignoring its extreme speed and slicing down directly to tear through the armor.
Clearly,
These demons sensed the unusual time properties of the steam mecha and saw it as the primary target to be neutralized.
Even using a mysterious curse of mutual destruction, they inflicted self-harm for shared injury!
Yet…
When the shadow blade struck, the golden-red armor of the steam mecha remained unscathed.
And at that moment, Zero’s voice echoed from afar.
“Too weak. Increase your output.”
Looking in the direction of the voice, there stood a mecha in Boulder Form, planted firmly on the ground.
[Boulder Form] + [Life Force Protection] + [Infinite Core]
“Little demon, let me see your limit!”
