Chapter 627: Super‑fast Recovery Speed, the Monster Imitates Me

In the explosion, Jiang Chen also used his Rush Attack skill, brandishing his twin swords to charge forward.

The power of the Elemental Riot is directly tied to the strength of Spiritual Power; attributes rise, and skill damage increases accordingly.

The Flame Knight wasn't killed by the blast, but was still blown about wildly.

The Rush Attack skill was abruptly interrupted at the last moment.

Jiang Chen seized the moment and activated his Rush Attack skill.

Two massive two‑handed greatswords, larger than anyone else's, twisted forward to strike.

The Rush Attack unleashed tremendous killing force, cleaving the Flame Knight and its mount in two.

Flames shot upward, and a strange aura pierced into the body.

The Gathering skill's duration increased again, and the attributes rose slightly.

Jiang Chen surged into the group of Flame Knights, once again employing his previous tactic.

Trading injury for life, it never fails.

Although he acquired the Rush Attack from Jiang Chen, he clearly hasn't learned Jiang Chen's injury‑for‑life method.

Even though there are many Flame Knights, they cannot form an effective encirclement.

Jiang Chen constantly maneuvered, keeping himself on the Outer Perimeter, never giving the enemy a chance to surround him.

Flame Knights kept falling beneath Jiang Chen's blade; as his attributes rose, he grew stronger with each battle, and his efficiency kept climbing.

This time Jiang Chen killed with greater skill and ease.

In less than an hour, a full thousand seemingly powerful Flame Knights had been slain by Jiang Chen.

Any one of these Flame Knights, if lifted out, would not be weaker than a Level 80 Knight.

Yet even with all his skills sealed, Jiang Chen could, relying solely on the Gathering skill, cut them down without a scrap left.

This shows that the skills granted by the Primordial Rune are indeed extremely powerful.

Before entering the Yuan Shi Secret Realm, Jiang Chen had considered that if only one of two skills could be kept, he would choose the Gathering skill.

From a surface combat power view, the Strong Soldier skill offers a greater Amplify for him.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen always remembers a saying: one's own strength is the true strength.

He is full of expectation for the Gathering skill; although it isn't very strong now, it may hold limitless potential later.

Whether he breaks through the Divine Level or later becomes a Super God, his strength can be elevated beyond a single tier.

This thought remains firmly in Jiang Chen's mind.

Of course, if possible, the Strong Soldier skill cannot be abandoned.

Combining the two will inevitably be stronger.

When all the Flame Knights were wiped out, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

He felt no fatigue at all, and Jiang Chen was surprised to find that Divine Power had not been sealed.

Not only his skills, but even his innate talents were sealed.

Yet Divine Power still exerted its effect.

What that implies, Jiang Chen knows all too well.

The source of Divine Power is the Divine Land Cauldron; Antares itself was once astonished by the Divine Land Cauldron, showing its extraordinary nature.

Now that Divine Power is unsealed, it is certain that the Divine Land Cauldron and the Primordial Rune belong to the same tier of items.

Only higher, not lower.

'Looks like I got a huge bargain,' he thought.

Jiang Chen thought that merely having Divine Power already gave him a great advantage.

A 7400% fatigue recovery rate made him almost an endlessly tireless battle machine.

Even high‑intensity combat lasting several days and nights would not cause fatigue.

If it were another person, even if they could win those two massive battles, whether they could endure them remains a problem.

Jiang Chen checked his attributes; they increased again.

Each attribute rose by 200,000, bringing every base attribute to 1,400,000.

After the skill amplification, a single attribute reached 2,380,000, total attributes 9,520,000, nearing the ten‑million level.

Jiang Chen has used the Gathering skill more than once; it also has an upper limit.

9.99 million already exceeds ten thousand, yet cannot break the Divine Level.

This is a limit imposed by the law.

However, Jiang Chen feels that perhaps within the Yuan Shi Secret Realm, this restriction can be broken.

If he wins another battle, his attributes will increase again, allowing him to experience the Divine Level power of ten million attributes ahead of schedule.

This would also aid his breakthrough to Divine Level.

Amid Jiang Chen's anticipation, the third enemy appeared.

This time it wasn't a group, just a single one.

In front of Jiang Chen stood a humanoid creature.

Clad in armor, its face was indistinct.

Its physique was ninety percent similar to Jiang Chen's.

It also wielded two greatswords, just like Jiang Chen's.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

The creature was mimicking him.

Before it had only copied the Rush Attack skill.

This time it seemed even more audacious, copying even the body‑shape weapons.

What kind of trouble is this?

Jiang Chen felt that, if he wasn't careful, all his Skills might be copied.

Although the enemy this time was only one, it gave Jiang Chen an even more dangerous feeling.

Without giving Jiang Chen a chance to think, the opponent launched a charging Skill and rushed forward.

Jiang Chen repeated his old trick; as the opponent drew near, Elemental Riot erupted.

This time no area attack was needed; there was only one target, locked directly.

Explosion boomed and burst open; Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a different light, the light of group‑defense.

Then the opponent burst out from the Explosion, still cloaked in the group‑defense Skill.

"As expected, you have learned all my Skills."

"Looking at the momentum, the attributes should also be close to mine; I wonder if my injury‑for‑life tactic has also been learned."

Jiang Chen felt resolute, dared not be careless, and directly raised his sword to attack.

Both sides each wielded a two‑handed greatsword with one hand, the four blades clashed, deafening.

Space rippled in concentric circles, spreading outward like waves, layer upon layer, the entire world twisted.

Both sides' power was very close, almost equal.

The tactics and Skills were no different.

Jiang Chen used the injury‑for‑life tactic, and the opponent did the same.

Jiang Chen healed his wounds, and the opponent did the same.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth; not only did the opponent copy his Skills, but also his attributes, and even his tactics.

It was as if fighting himself.

The two fought endlessly, sword auras flashing, neither could gain the upper hand.

Jiang Chen switched among several tactics, various Skills rotating.

But the opponent could too, making it useless.

Especially with the presence of a healing Skill, it was overwhelmingly overpowered.

Even when Jiang Chen seized the chance and wounded the opponent, they could recover within a few strikes.

Jiang Chen only now realized how hard he was to deal with.

Being one's own enemy must be so desperate.

At least now he is quite desperate.

"At this point, it's a matter of stamina."

"You can copy my Skills and my attributes, but you certainly cannot copy Divine Power."

Jiang Chen placed all his hope in Divine Power.

Divine Power cannot be sealed, indicating its tier is extremely high, and it is likely impossible to copy.

If the opponent's stamina were also infinite, there would be no need to fight; they could simply surrender.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and launched a frenzied assault.

The opponent did the same, frantically counterattacking.

Thus, energy consumption surged dramatically.

Relying on Divine Power, Jiang Chen's physical and Spiritual Power both possessed astonishing regeneration.

After battling like this for half a day, Jiang Chen finally smiled.

The opponent grew tired; speed began to drop, and attack power waned.

At their level, a slight difference is a world apart.

Jiang Chen's onslaught grew fiercer, each sword faster than the last.

Each strike was at full force, again employing the injury‑for‑life tactic.

He knew he must quickly wear down the opponent to gain overwhelming advantage.

Sure enough, after hundreds of swords, Jiang Chen seized the chance.

A sword sliced through the opponent's neck, the blade cleaving the armor and decapitating outright.

He breathed lightly, not from fatigue but from victory.

At last he won, finally defeating himself.

"This is only me with my Skills sealed; if I faced my fully unlocked self, it would be even harder to deal with!"

Jiang Chen now deeply realized how strong he is, knowing he truly is a hard‑to‑handle opponent.

He silently mourned his own enemy for three seconds.

At the same time Jiang Chen grew wary; he saw a colossal, sky‑blocking behemoth in the sky, the truly powerful being.

And the countless invincible masters in the starry sky, as well as the old Qing Niu who could instantly turn them to mush.

These are the true strong ones; I am nothing in comparison.

A strong scent of blood wafted again.

During the battle, the smell of blood had vanished.

Now it spreads again.

Another drop of fresh blood fell from the sky, striking Jiang Chen's head, turning him once more into a blood‑man.

Jiang Chen didn't dodge, because it was unavoidable.

The smell of blood came from that drop, its scent comparable to a sea of blood.

Then drop after drop of fresh blood fell, all striking Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was drenched in a rain of blood, his whole being becoming a blood‑man.

The rule within the blood slowly seeps in from every part of Jiang Chen's body.
