Chapter 720 Breakthrough of Bipolar Values

One strike can turn into a thousand strikes, and a thousand strikes can turn into one strike.

This is the ultimate state that Akuma comprehended after reaching a certain level in the art of assassination and the path of Asura.

Its name is, A Thousand Strikes in an Instant.

Cheng Tian's final strike, achieved by using time-stop on the Annihilation Dragon, unexpectedly intersected with the Instant Thousand Strikes that Akuma had mastered at the crossroads.

The two sides have completely different principles, rules, and purposes, yet they inexplicably converge at the crossroads, something neither side had ever imagined.

Looking at Akuma's life, few people could get along with him harmoniously. The lone bird, played by the player in Monster Hunter Wilds, is one example, and the street fighter, also played by the player in Street Fighter VI's story mode, is another.

Therefore, Akuma's attitude towards Cheng Tian was actually quite ordinary, and even carried a hint of hostility.

This hostility was not directed at Cheng Tian himself, but rather at the external object he possessed—namely, his dissatisfaction with the power of the Great Serpent.

However, at this moment, Cheng Tian, ​​with his weak strength, false agility, reliable spirit, and standard charm, combined them to achieve the ultimate state that Akuma had spent half his life trying to reach, which was obviously something Akuma could not easily accept.

With his superhuman level of perception, Akuma could not know for sure about the existence of Time Stop, but he could sense the disharmony between Cheng Tian and Nergigante.

Although it looks like another form of the "thousand strikes in an instant" technique, it has a sense of discontinuity similar to the frame skipping in video editing.

At the same time, Hao Gui had to admit that Cheng Tian might have used some kind of evil technique again, but the fact that he could unleash a thousand strikes into one was indeed true.

At this moment, even the stubborn old fruit seller had to admit that Cheng Tian might not be suited for the path of Asura, but he might still be able to reach the same destination.

"Different paths... but the same destination..."

Following the instant of a thousand strikes, the old man uttered new words, and at the same time, some vague thoughts in his mind gradually began to become clear.

Unaware that his moment of accumulation had caused such a stir in the old man's heart, Cheng hovered in mid-air, quietly watching the Annihilator Dragon's health bar rapidly decrease.

The damage formula for a normal, non-violent sunburst is the sum of Cheng Tian's all attributes * 44.

After unleashing its full power, MAX Sunshine's damage formula is increased to the sum of Cheng Tian's entire attribute * 55.

由于程天目前只拥有3个基础血脉，所以这55的数值是由3个10和5个5所构成的，如果程天后续将另外5个血脉补全，那么最终的数值会上升到80。

Because of the characteristic that the damage of the sun increases and decreases with distance, all units within a radius of 100 meters will receive the normal full damage indiscriminately, and for every meter they get closer or farther away, there will be a 1% increase and decrease in damage.

Cheng Tian released the attack at point-blank range, so the final damage to Nergigante was increased by 100%, resulting in 27060 damage.

The MAX Soul Drain of the Berserk skill will deal damage equal to 55 times the sum of Strength and Spirit. Before the damage is calculated, the target's maximum Strength and Spirit will be halved in a semi-permanent way by shattering the Soul. Finally, the damage will be calculated.

The Nergigante, which originally had a healthy 5.2 HP, dropped to around 2.5 HP after being exposed to sunlight. When Cheng Tian crushed the chibi-style soul fragment, its HP dropped a second time, to around 1.25.

Then, the Soul Stealing skill dealt damage, directly deducting 8030 HP from it!

At this point, Nergigante's original total health of 60,000 was reduced to just over 4,000.

If it's a normal strategy, this is when the World Destroyer Nergigante is at its most dangerous, because not only does it not become weakened when it's low on health, but it also gains a 93% damage boost, making it one of the most dangerous creatures in the entire New World.

However, the cautious Cheng Tian did not immediately dispel the time stop. Instead, he continued to use the remaining time to unleash simple and unadorned physical attacks. His attacks, Euler and Muda, complemented each other, averaging only double digits, but the sheer number of damage hits relentlessly removed Nergigante's last four thousand HP.

Until it's completely reduced to zero.

All the thorns and adamantine thorns on the body of the Annihilator Dragon exploded at this moment, and a large area of ​​its skin was annihilated. However, perhaps because its soul was injured, the Annihilator Dragon could not even let out a wail. It was just like a broken doll being trampled on, and finally fell helplessly to the ground without making a sound.

Cheng Tian exhaled the breath he had been holding in.

Until just now, Cheng Tian had been doing anaerobic exercise, putting everything into it, with his spirit, energy, and mind as one, without the slightest distraction.

It was only the sound and sight of the Nergigante crashing down that brought Cheng Tian back to normal.

Cheng Tian is now almost completely drained.

The blue bar was almost depleted due to maintaining the time stop, and the health also dropped from 1:400 to 1:50 after the transformation was canceled, leaving the health at 625 points.

It can be said to be the weakest state in history. If anyone has malicious intentions, they will probably suffer a severe punishment.

But at this moment, Cheng Tian, ​​who was exhausted both physically and mentally, felt his heart pounding strongly.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The frequency of the pulsation remained the same, but the intensity increased, and Cheng Tian had actually experienced something similar before.

It was a similar impulse I felt five days ago when I completed the hunt for Behemoth and absorbed its blood essence.

Two soft rustling sounds echoed in Cheng Tian's mind. Along with the sounds, the strength and agility display on Cheng Tian's panel, which had been forcibly capped at 50 points, silently moved down three times, all switching to 3.

Strength 53, Agility 53.

Breakthrough in both Strength and Agility – Success!

Cheng Tian completed the final defeat of the World Destroyer Dragon without using any non-physical or non-combat abilities, without any equipment, props, or assistance.

Cheng Tian was very pleased with the obvious changes in his body.

Cheng Tian wasn't the type to make his personal life public, so even if there was only one spectator, Hao Gui, he didn't care... However, what he didn't know was that the public area of ​​the Lieyang was in complete chaos.

The hunters from the Hunter's Guild were talking and discussing animatedly.

Right above their heads was a projection of telekinesis from the Root of Mars, showing Cheng Tian battling the Annihilation Dragon.

Although Cheng Tian emphasized that no external interference was needed, how could the legion members turn a blind eye to him, as the leader of the legion, doing such a dangerous thing?

However, their professional instincts led them to cheer for Cheng Tian's victory while simultaneously discussing ecological issues due to the death of the Nergigante.

But at that moment, a person suddenly appeared next to Cheng Tian in the scene.

Using the Ashura Flash technique, Gouki teleported to Cheng Tian's side and stared at Cheng Tian without saying a word.
