The battle had raged for nearly half an hour.

Blood flowed down the towering giant tree, almost forming a small waterfall.

Jiang Chen showed not a hint of weakness, but instead seemed to grow more spirited as the fight dragged on.

“Master Chao, stop scratching, are you trying to use Life Force Energy to burst me?”

“… Heh, aren’t you just giving me a massage?”

“… You don’t really think that by destroying a few Life Force Cores, you can kill me?”

“… I am the ultimate creature who has transcended everything, an immortal being!”

“Oh, since you say so, why don’t you stand still and let me take a few shots to test that out.”

“When I’ve shattered your cores, we’ll see if you’re truly immortal.”

“… How come you haven’t burst yet?”

The two tanks had been fighting for a long while.

The damage inflicted upon each other wasn’t as high as that caused by their words.

However, in the end, Jiang Chen proved to be the superior one.

With a Transcender as a blood-supplying machine, his blood was infinite.

In contrast, the Transcender had a finite number of Life Force Cores inside its body, no matter how many there were.

One, ten, a hundred…

Over an hour passed.

Jiang Chen activated his High-Energy Vision and spotted the last core inside the Transcender, locking onto its position.

Strangely enough…

The Transcender was well aware that it was down to its last Life Force Core.

Yet, there was no trace of fear or worry, it continued to bluster.

“I am immortal!

The Transcender did not seem to be bluffing.

Could it be a trick?

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

“Master Chao, don’t tell me you’ve hidden a core somewhere else and that’s why you’re acting so haughty?”

The Transcender laughed heartily.

“I am the ultimate creature who has transcended everything, do I need to do such a thing?”

As if to prove something, it paused, revealing the last core in its fingertip.

Crushed it with force!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the core shattered.

The Transcender’s body began to wither rapidly.

This was a normal reaction following the rupture of a core.

However—

The next moment, endless energy burst forth from the Roots Giant Tree, surging into the withered body of the Transcender.

In the view of High-Energy Vision, the Life Force Cores inside the Transcender’s body began to rapidly reform.

One, ten, a hundred.

In just the blink of an eye.

The Transcender returned to its peak condition.

Spreading its arms wide and basking in the radiance of stars, it spoke.

“I, am immortal!”

“No one can kill me, nor can anyone stop my growth.”

“I will eventually transcend everything.”

A full resurrection?

Jiang Chen had an epiphany.

No wonder the Transcender had been so arrogant.

It possessed the ability to lock its vitality; as soon as a Life Force Core shattered, it could automatically restore itself to peak condition.

However…

Despite its boasts of immortality and unlimited growth,

In the end, it was merely the final boss of Abyss Level 1.

This lock-on-vitality ability must have its limits and conditions; it couldn’t actually be truly immortal.

It likely had to do with the Endless Roots spread across the planet and the tree emitting Life Force Energy.

To verify his theory,

Jiang Chen engaged the Transcender in battle for another hour.

And when nearly all of its Life Force Cores inside were about to shatter, he took the lead and used icy flames to directly destroy the towering giant tree!

However, as soon as the towering giant tree broke,

The roots on the planet’s surface began to draw on the power of sunlight, growing and twisting incessantly.

In just a few seconds, a new towering giant tree was regenerated.

A few seconds was not enough time for Jiang Chen to kill the Transcender.

When the giant tree was reborn, the Transcender decisively detonated its core.

Amidst the boundless Life Force Energy, it once again regained its full strength.

“I! am immortal!”

“You are immortal?”

Jiang Chen laughed.

After such an extended period of battle and testing,

Combined with the celestial phenomena he observed during the fight,

He had completely figured out the Transcender’s resurrection mechanism—

Once it became the ultimate creature, the Life Force Cores were no longer its absolute weakness. As long as it obtained enough energy, it could regenerate within a certain time after shattering.

However, reconstructing Life Force Cores requires absorbing a vast amount of energy at once.

Relying solely on the Transcender itself, slowly absorbing star radiance, would not meet the necessary conditions.

The Endless Roots scattered across the planet thus acted as solar panels, absorbing the star radiance.

Then, through the Roots Giant Tree, it was released instantaneously.

Satisfying its energy demands for rebirth.

From this perspective, the Roots Giant Tree simply served as a vessel.

Even if the giant tree was destroyed, the Transcender could still absorb energy accumulated by the roots in the ground.

The process of reconstructing Life Force Cores would just be slower, not being able to reform all at once.

So…

“To defeat the Transcender,”

“The focus isn’t to destroy the Roots Giant Tree.”

“But the starlight!”

“Currently, the Star of Mutation is divided into the greenish Land of Radiance and the purple Land without Light.”

“Among these, the roots in the Land of Radiance are exposed to starlight, absorbing star energy every moment of every day, quickly supplying the Transcender, aiding in its recovery.”

“The roots in the Land without Light are not exposed to starlight. Even if energy could be transported from the Land of Radiance, there would be an associated loss, greatly reducing the energy efficiency.”

“Therefore, only in the nocturnal Land without Light can His regeneration ability be greatly restricted and He be completely vanquished!”

Jiang Chen now had a strategy for victory.

He looked upward at the sky.

He had previously cleared the Star of Mutation at a lower difficulty and had witnessed the purple glow of Dark Night City.
