Chapter 242: Chapter 166: Legendary Muscle Mentor, Six-Armed Demon God!_2

A bond between mentor and apprentice?

The battle-fervent Six-Armed Demon God cares not for such trifling matters.

Only pure combat and killing occupy its heart.

It patiently taught Jiang Chen.

But only because it sought a worthy adversary.

And then…

To defeat him, to kill him.

Or perhaps to be killed by him.

The Purgatory Asura could feel its demon blood boiling with fervor!

A sensation it hadn’t experienced in eons.

Even after enduring endless slaughter, and reaching the legendary realm of [Extreme Battle Soul] amidst the onslaught of mecha pilots and alien beasts,

It hadn’t felt as thrilled and elated as at this moment.

Countless enemies were no match for the terrifying pressure Jiang Chen brought to the fight—

Boom!!!!

With the impact of an iron punch,

Its entire armor was blasted apart; its battered body was hammered deep into the ground by Jiang Chen, continuously plummeting through layers of soil, minerals, and molten lava.

After suffering extreme heat and pressure, it was explosively ejected out the other side of the planet.

During its underground traversal, it used the lava to reforge its armor, rejuvenate itself, and re-engage in combat with Jiang Chen.

Lava, wild winds, thunder, earthquakes.

It seemed even the planet itself trembled with fear under the madness of the battle between the two Asuras.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“Immerse yourself in mindless violence, destruction, and frenzied killing!”

“Come, kill me!!”

In the throes of battle, the Purgatory Asura was nearing death.

Yet it felt no fear, laughing wildly instead.

Even, to continue combating Jiang Chen, it absorbed the forces of heaven and earth without restraint, fiercely strengthening its Asura body.

This granted it a meager amount of power.

But it also caused its demon body to start collapsing, disintegrating.

Until, during battle, Jiang Chen seized an opportunity, swung his Gravity Iron Fists, and struck hard at the center of its chest—

Basic strength, Gravity Iron Fists, Extreme Battle Soul, surging Inner Strength…

Numerous forces combined for a blow with over three billion points of impact!

The Gravity Iron Fists themselves were just 7th Rank mythical equipment, without a resonance term, unable to benefit from Jiang Chen’s physical strength.

Even as gauntlets, they disintegrated, bursting under this raging power.

The critically injured Purgatory Asura had no capacity to withstand this intensity of force.

As the power disseminated, its flesh was almost ground into the most basic particles, quietly annihilated.

Only a faint ripple reached Jiang Chen’s heart.

“I’ll be waiting for you in the Purgatory.”

Boom————

The remaining force of the punch continued unabated, destroying everything on the earth’s surface, giving the already ravaged planet a flat top.

[Slain the Purgatory Asura, obtained Mythical Material: Asura Soul Dust.]

…

[Successfully killed the lord, completed the legendary objective.]

[Number of people who cleared: one]

[Lord’s Strength: 7]

[Settling rewards based on acquired information…]

[You have obtained: 50000 Abyss Crystals.]

[You have obtained Mythical Material: Shattered Star Core.]

[You have obtained Mythical Item: Skeleton Orb.]

[You have obtained Epic module: Six-Armed Demon God (Supercharged)]

[You have obtained special item: Soul Contract.]

[Settlement complete, disengaging from the abyss in one minute.]

“Phew…”

Jiang Chen retracted his Asura form, took a deep breath, and still felt the thrill of the fight linger.

The Extreme Battle Soul didn’t grant him combat skills directly like a Weapons Master would, but it was a state of profound clarity.

In that state, not only did he have various bonuses, but he could also quickly comprehend a multitude of combat skills by deciphering endless information—

Even faster than when he fought with a 6th Rank Master Luo.

Therefore, the Extreme Battle Soul was not an end but a beginning.

From now on, no specific Master Luo was needed.

As long as the enemy was strong enough, once Jiang Chen entered a combat state, the Extreme Battle Soul would provide him with a continuous supply of combat proficiency.

For Jiang Chen, who battles all day, this meant he was growing stronger every moment.

“This is true Martial Arts talent!”

“No wonder it’s the beginning of Master Luo’s legend.”

“He reached this state so early, and after such a long time, who knows how much he has grown.”

Jiang Chen licked his lips.

Infinite Purgatory, he would have to thoroughly thrash it in due time.

For now, he would check the parting gift from Master Luo.

Asura Soul Dust, 7th Rank Mythical Material, properties of Enigmatism, soul, spirit…

In fact, Jiang Chen’s storage was filled with Asura materials, such as Asura spines, teeth, skin…

Pieced together, they could probably form several sets of Asura bodies.

“Alright, even the soul is in my hands this time.”

Shattered Star Core, 7th Rank Mythical Material, properties of Enigmatism, stars, void, gravity…

All three high-ranking properties, each of immense value!

Among mythical materials, they belong to the most premium class!

Jiang Chen carefully stored it in the most precious place in his storage.

“Couldn’t be because I fought so fiercely with Master Luo that I punched a star apart, could it?”

Skeleton Orb, 7th Rank Mythical Equipment, can be transformed into skeleton armor or skeleton blades, with considerable power—up to a maximum of seven billion potency.

Considering Jiang Chen’s two billion base strength and the fourfold boost from the Extreme Battle Soul.

That’s equivalent to a weapon with 36 billion potency!

“As a part of 7th Rank equipment, it counts as a divine weapon!”

“It will be very useful until I reach the 8th Rank!”

Jiang Chen was quite pleased with the orb’s power but didn’t dwell too much on it.

After all, with the Extreme Battle Soul, he could amplify the capability of various pieces of equipment by fourfold, significantly enhancing the importance of both equipment and his abilities.

However, because his ascent through the ranks was so rapid, it also accelerated the cycle of renewing his weapons and gear.
