Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Jiang Chuan stood before the enormous obsidian throne, the Fishman King's murky, whitish eyes fixed on him, his massive body, covered in parasitic pustules, began to tremble violently.

"Kill...me..."

The lingering effects of his aged spirit once again crashed into Jiang Chuan's consciousness, this time with an almost pleading urgency.

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly.

The bowstring was drawn taut once more.

Prepare to end this old fishman who has lived for who knows how many years with a single arrow.

However, just as the arrow was about to leave the bowstring...

A sudden change has occurred!

The Merman King's massive, serrated maw suddenly opened, unleashing a roar that shook the seabed. The luminous pearls embedded in the dome of the palace shattered at the sound of the roar, turning into countless shimmering white powders that scattered across the sky.

Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted slightly. He keenly sensed that the other party's aura was rising wildly at a completely illogical pace!

Boom! !

Its size began to undergo a horrifying change.

Originally five meters tall, its body was forcibly stretched to nearly eight meters amidst the cracking sounds of bones breaking, with a row of ferocious bone spurs protruding from its back.

Its arms swelled rapidly, its muscles bulged as if about to burst, and its ten fingers transformed into half-meter-long claws.

The originally cloudy, whitish pupils have now turned into a pure, deep purple.

The pupils are vertically spindle-shaped.

His body was surrounded by an energy fluctuation that Jiang Chuan had never seen before.

[Aberrant Ancient Dragon (Originally Evolved Species, Tier 9): Health Points ???, Attack Power ???, Defense Power ???]

A line of blood-red prompts popped up on Jiang Chuan's panel. Apart from the name and rank, all the data was filled with question marks.

Even with over 70,000 points of Intelligence, the Eye of Truth was unable to see through the monster's attributes.

Ninth-tier supreme expert!

Jiang Chuan's mind raced.

Shen Zhiyi described in detail the essential differences between a ninth-tier supreme expert and an eighth-tier expert.

Below the eighth rank, regardless of their talent, all professionals use energy they have cultivated themselves.

Like the power of the elements.

Or the power of stars like his.

These energies differ greatly in nature.

Ultimately, however, it all comes down to consuming one's own energy reserves to drive external rules.

The ninth rank is completely different.

After absorbing the 'Source Essence', the power of a ninth-tier supreme expert will be completely transformed into a higher level of energy.

Its name is: Source Power!

The source power does not come from itself, but is an extremely powerful force that can directly mobilize the rules of heaven and earth!

In other words, professionals below the ninth rank are "borrowing" the rules.

A ninth-tier expert is one who "masters" the rules!

The difference between these two.

It's not a difference in quantity, but a crushing defeat in terms of dimensionality.

And now.

Jiang Chuan finally witnessed the terrifying power of the source force firsthand.

The Merman King slowly lowered its head, which was covered with bone spikes, and locked its deep purple vertical pupils onto Jiang Chuan. It opened its huge mouth full of fangs, and a ball of deep purple light shone from the depths of its throat.

The light was not intense.

But Jiang Chuan's sense of crisis trembled violently almost instantly!

Starlight!

Without any hesitation, he vanished from his spot and reappeared on the other side of the hall.

Almost at the same time.

A deep purple beam of light silently swept past the spot where he had just stood and struck the wall behind the hall.

The thick wall made of obsidian disappeared silently, like a pencil mark erased by an eraser.

Jiang Chuan gasped.

He could sense it.

I couldn't even withstand one attack of that magnitude!

With over 70,000 points in physical attributes, the powerful recovery from the Eternal Body, and even the bonuses from other defensive talents, all of these were rendered useless in the face of the opponent's attacks!

once!

He will be instantly resurrected if he gets hit even once!

"Starfall!"

Jiang Chuan suppressed the shock in his heart and drew back the Nine Luminaries Star Bow.

The silver-white arrow, trailing a long tail, hurtled straight toward the head of the mutated ancient dragon.

The law of certain hit was fully embodied in this arrow. The arrow drew an arc in mid-air that defied the laws of physics and precisely pierced the left eye socket of the mutated ancient dragon.

-1!

A lone number floated up from the top of the distorted ancient dragon's head.

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment.

It didn't break through the defenses!?

How is that possible!

The defense-ignoring effect granted to him by the SSS-level talent [Yi] has also failed!

The mutated ancient dragon didn't even blink. It suddenly opened its claws, and a ring of deep purple source energy exploded around its body.

Jiang Chuan had no time to dodge. At the critical moment, the Star Spirit Protection on his wristband automatically activated, and a layer of silver-white starlight shield instantly enveloped his entire body.

next second.

The shockwave then crashed into us solidly.

The shield, which was strong enough to absorb 50% of his maximum health in damage, melted and dissipated in large swathes the moment it came into contact with the deep purple light.

boom!!

Jiang Chuan was blasted away, his body carving a deep furrow in the floor of the main hall before finally coming to a stop after crashing heavily into a stone pillar.

He swallowed the blood that welled up in his throat and glanced at his health bar.

The Protoss's protective shield shattered simply from the aftershocks, causing his health to drop by nearly 200,000!

This is just the shockwave, not a direct hit from the source force!

no,

We can't fight this guy head-on!

Jiang Chuan flipped over and leaped up, immediately activating the Tianxuan Gem.

Starlight spread out from him, and the Xuanji Maze enveloped the entire hall in an instant.

As starlight coalesced, a mirror image identical to the mutated ancient dragon stepped out of the maze. Its massive eight-meter-tall body, deep purple scales, bone spurs on its back, and even its deep purple vertical pupils were exactly the same.

The distorted ancient dragon's mirror image let out a deafening roar, its claws conjuring deep purple beams of light as it lunged towards the real dragon.

Jiang Chuan felt a slight sense of relief.

The mirror image created by Tianxuan Maze possesses 100% of the target's attributes. Although his mana consumption is burning rapidly every second, as long as the mirror image can hold off the Aberrant Ancient Dragon, he can find an opportunity to counterattack.

However, he was dumbfounded the next second.

The mutated ancient dragon merely swung its claw casually.

A deep purple, arc-shaped light blade shot out from its claw tip, and Jiang Chuan watched in disbelief as its reflection was sliced ​​in two, instantly killed!

"Damn...you're a pervert!"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

People always say he's a pervert.

Available today.

He has finally met his match.

Jiang Chuan immediately understood the reason for the failure.

No matter how high the mirror attribute of the Tianxuan Maze is, or how closely it imitates the original, it is just an empty shell when facing the mutated ancient dragon without the support of source power!

How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

They couldn't break through it even if they tried.

It's too much to bear.

This was the first time Jiang Chuan had encountered an enemy that left him completely helpless!
