Chapter 557: Chapter 277: Protective Divine Pearl, Transcending Divine Stone! (Three in One)_1 Having completed the preliminary tasks according to Zhui Yi’s experience, Chen Mo arrived before the first BOSS of the Above SSS-level instance—Azuras. "Human, your courage is commendable, but I won’t hold back. This is a challenge you chose yourself; let’s see if you can defeat my avatar, whose power has been suppressed to match yours." Azuras, the Time-Space Controller, was an awe-inspiring, colossal figure. He was composed of dark matter, seemingly containing endless stars and abysses. His body constantly flowed, churned, and reshaped, like a living galaxy. His eyes were as profound as Black Holes, flickering with cold, captivating light, seemingly holding the secrets of time and space. His arms seemed capable of sweeping across infinite space; each extension and contraction appeared to encapsulate the birth and annihilation of stars. His fingertips seemed to touch every dimension, capable of tearing through space to forge new paths at will. Azuras’s form was not fixed. At times, he was as towering as a mountain, filling the entire field of view, as if he could support the endless heavens and earth. At other times, he was as minuscule as dust, resembling a miniature Black Hole, yet still capable of consuming all life’s radiance. His voice, vast and hollow as if emanating from an endless abyss, made each syllable fall like a grain of sand from an hourglass—cold and absolute. His very existence in this world seemed like an insurmountable chasm, inducing a profound sense of powerlessness and despair. Affected by Azuras’s skills, the environment around him constantly shifted, like an unpredictable dreamscape. Sometimes, he stood on a boundless green meadow. Emerald grass swayed gently in the breeze, teeming with vitality. Golden sunlight cascaded from the sky, illuminating every leaf, and all of creation seemed to awaken, brimming with energy. During this time, Azuras would acquire an ultra-strong regenerative aura. The next moment, the environment would instantly transition. He would find himself atop an ice-bound snowy mountain. White snowflakes fluttered in the frigid wind, alighting on his body and blanketing him in white. The surroundings were an expanse of blinding white snow, utterly still and desolate. The entire world seemed sealed in ice, all sounds frozen in the frigid air. At this time, Azuras would gain an ultra-strong area-of-effect freezing aura. The next moment, everything would change again, and he would appear on the edge of a volcanic crater. Surrounded by rolling heatwaves and molten lava, the entire world seemed to be burning. Scorching magma erupted from the crater, soaring into the sky like a Fire Dragon, staining it red. During this, Azuras would obtain an ultra-strong scorching aura. All these rapidly changing scenes were under Azuras’s control, as if he were indeed the master of this world, capable of altering anything at will. Depending on the battle situation, he could manifest any aura he wished. This ability was very powerful. Chen Mo coveted it, but unfortunately, as it was a passive skill, he couldn’t acquire it. Even if it were an active skill, he wouldn’t be able to acquire it. After all, Azuras was an Above SSS-level BOSS. All of Azuras’s skills were Dazzling Grade. Chen Mo’s Divine Replication Seal was only SSS-level; he couldn’t replicate such high-level skills. Although his opponent spoke gently, Chen Mo didn’t hold back when he attacked. Having already fought Azuras once, Chen Mo wasted no time, striking ruthlessly from the outset. Right from the start, Chen Mo had Zhui Yi use the Life-And-Death Emblem to lock onto Azuras. Azuras possessed immunity to all abnormal statuses, rendering Chen Mo’s SSS-level crowd control skills ineffective. However, the linking effect of the Life-And-Death Emblem was similar to Azuras’s Time-Space Lock Chain. Both were linking effects, falling outside the scope of such statuses. Azuras had no specific immunity to linking effects. Therefore, even the SSS-level Life-And-Death Emblem could still bind him. Due to Azuras’s talent, confronting him with multiple entities was disadvantageous. Thus, Chen Mo opted for a one-on-one approach. He used the Dominator of the Undead’s single-combat Divine Skill, Dominator’s Power, absorbing all his Skeleton Monsters to enhance his own strength. Chen Mo currently possessed around 30,000,000 Skeleton Monsters. According to the description of the Dominator’s Power—a golden active skill—each low-level Ghost could temporarily increase an attribute value by 1%. Therefore, the attribute value increase after Chen Mo used this skill would be: 30,000,000 (number of Ghosts) * 1% = 300,000 This meant Chen Mo’s attribute values would increase 300,000-fold. While this was a significant increase, the Heavenly Dao imposed incredibly strict control over attributes. Any ability that bolstered attributes could not provide a boost exceeding a multiplier of (Personal Level + Divine Power). This was one reason why those who had undergone their fifth transition held a crushing advantage over those who hadn’t. Even if those below the fifth transition possessed strong attribute-enhancing abilities, because they only had their Level and no Divine Power, they could at most increase their attributes a few dozen times. But those above the fifth transition, due to their Divine Power, could bolster their attributes by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times. The attributes of those who had completed the fifth transition already vastly surpassed those below. Even if the enhancement multiplier were the same, they would still dominate—not to mention that their maximum possible multiplier was far greater. Although Chen Mo himself was currently only Level 40, he possessed a full 100 points of Divine Power.
