Ashen God
Chapter 1022 1021: Permanent Teleportation Channel Stacking!
Although Zhang Yanhang's current Energy value limit is only fifty thousand points, his goal in the Fifth Tier is to increase his Energy value limit to at least one hundred thousand points. As for where he gets the courage, it can only be said that Zhang Yanhang has quite a bit of confidence in the Scroll Dragon Bloodline.
Of course, these are things to be concerned about only after entering the Ashen World. For now, Zhang Yanhang is more focused on his body growth rate. So, he immediately opened the skill effect of Heaven and Earth Devourer to take a look.
[Heaven and Earth Devourer·Original LV.MAX (Passive/Active)]
[Passive effect: Artifact (boost) usage (consumption) effect +100%.]
[Active effect: After skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can swallow matter and energy through the mouth entry into the Stomach Space, and through digesting the matter and energy in the Stomach Space, increase body size and recover Energy value. No cooldown time, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.
Current Stomach Space volume is 2000×2000×2000=80,000,000,000 cubic meters.
Current Stomach Space absorption efficiency is 3233 (+734) [Energy value recovery speed] ×10%=323 points (+74 points) Energy value/second.]
......
"Originally, my Energy value recovery speed was only 2489 points, but now it has directly increased to 3233 points, an increase of 734 points in Energy value recovery speed, equivalent to a one-third increase.
And this 3233 points Energy value recovery speed is converted through a 10% Energy value absorption efficiency conversion coefficient into an Energy value absorption efficiency of 323 points per second, which compared to the original 249 points per second, is an increase of 74 points in Energy value absorption efficiency."
In fact, due to the fact that Zhang Yanhang is absorbing the Subordinate Sage Stone with double efficiency, he can now automatically recover 646 points of Energy value per second.
"Originally, my small goal was set at 500 points of Energy value absorption efficiency, and at the time I was only two points away from completing it. Now, it's been easily completed by the way, and even the next small goal of 600 points of Energy value absorption efficiency has been completed together."
One can only say that Zhang Yanhang somewhat underestimated the boosting ability of those two Miserla's Cores.
Zhang Yanhang originally thought that 600 points would be difficult to achieve, but now, with the bonus from Heaven and Earth Devourer, Zhang Yanhang feels that possibly the next small goal, that is, achieving 700 points of Energy value absorption efficiency, may actually have a good chance of being completed.
He is currently only 54 points away from completing this small goal, which isn't too bad. If he encounters some sort of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can enhance specific aspects, he might be able to achieve it in one go.
"But due to the increase in Energy value limit, what was originally reduced to just 68 seconds to recover a full bar of Energy value at peak speed has suddenly slowed down to needing 79 seconds to recover a full bar of Energy value."
That's why Zhang Yanhang says that infinite energy is very difficult to achieve. It's because his Energy value limit increases too quickly; as long as the Energy value limit keeps increasing, he can never achieve infinite energy, not even his initial goal of reducing it to under a minute can be achieved.
Of course, increasing the Energy value limit is definitely a good thing. After all, only the Energy value limit can affect the strength of Multiple Choice, and infinite energy would at most only increase the activation frequency of Multiple Choice.
But, if the strength isn't sufficient, simply having more frequency clearly doesn't mean much; compared to a continuous trickle from a small household faucet, Zhang Yanhang naturally prefers the exhilarating spray of a large water pump.
"But fortunately, although the time needed to recover a bar of Energy value has slowed, the body growth speed has increased quite a bit again.
Earlier, I needed 40 seconds to increase my body size by one centimeter, but now it only takes 31 seconds to increase one centimeter."
Thus, Zhang Yanhang can currently automatically increase about 116 centimeters per hour, and the daily 24-hours growth speed has increased from the original 2160 centimeters to 2787 centimeters, an increase of 627 centimeters in growth speed.
"Although I always felt that the daily 25-meter small goal shouldn't be too difficult to achieve, I didn't expect it to be so effortlessly completed, allowing me to set the next small goal at 30 meters."
Currently, Zhang Yanhang is 213 centimeters away from the next small goal, not too far, and Zhang Yanhang remains confident he can achieve it.
"The standard size of a basketball court is 28 meters in length and 15 meters in width, so I can now reach the length of a basketball court in growth every day. Quite impressive."
Calculating with a floor height of 2.8 meters per layer, Zhang Yanhang's height growth speed has essentially increased from the previous daily growth of seven floors to ten floors, leaving him just one floor shy of his original eleven-floor small goal, rendering it virtually a non-issue to complete; any further trivial growth should complete it automatically.
After checking the body growth speed, Zhang Yanhang feels there doesn't seem to be any other pending matters to resolve, as he has used up all the artifacts and doesn't have any related Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures left on him.
But upon careful thought, Zhang Yanhang realizes that after his Life Value limit increased, he hasn't checked the skill effect of the Eternal Demon Body. Logically speaking, with an increase in the Life Value limit, his Life Value recovery speed should have improved significantly.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened the skill effect of the Eternal Demon Body to take a look.
[Eternal Demon Body LV.6 (Passive skill)]
[Skill Effect: 'Heavenly Destiny Master' generates 1 Magic Energy Crystal within the body. Under the influence of the Magic Energy Crystal, the Heavenly Destiny Master gains the 'Magic Energy Cycle' effect, automatically regenerating 275611 (+132922) [Life Value Limit] × 6% + 4047 [Life Value Recovery Speed] × 60% = 18965 (+7975) Life Values per second.
Every time 'Heavenly Destiny Master' launches an attack, it triggers the 'Magic Power Surge' effect, gaining 4047 [Life Value Recovery Speed] × 60% = 2428 additional damage boost.
Every time 'Heavenly Destiny Master' launches an attack, it triggers the 'Magic Energy Gathering' effect, absorbing 2428 [additional damage boost] × 60% = 1457 Life Values from the enemy's body to restore its own Life Values. If the Life Values are full, the excess Life Values will be stored within the Magic Energy Crystal.
Currently, the storage limit for Life Values in the Magic Energy Crystal is 275611 (+132922) [Life Value Limit] × 120% = 330733 (+159506) Life Values. The Life Values stored within the Magic Energy Crystal can be accessed at any time, without cooldown, cost, or possibility of being destroyed.]
......
"After my Life Value Limit increased from the previous 140,000 to 270,000, my current breathing recovery speed has increased from automatically restoring 10990 points per second to 18965 points per second, which is equivalent to a direct increase of 7979 points in recovery speed, the growth is truly fierce.
But unfortunately, no matter how fierce the increase in the Life Value Limit is, it cannot enhance the additional damage boost and lifesteal efficiency. Only enhancing the Life Value Recovery Speed can improve these two effects. Therefore, it's necessary to also enhance the Life Value Recovery Speed."
Of course, although the additional damage and lifesteal efficiency didn't improve, the storage limit for Life Values in the Magic Energy Crystal did see a significant change. It has increased from the original 159506 points to 330733 points, equivalent to a further increase of 171227 points in the storage limit for Life Values.
But besides that, there really isn't any other change. To make the Eternal Demon Body undergo significant transformation again, Zhang Yanhang needs to enhance the skill level, but unfortunately, he still can't level up right now.
Moreover, if he really were to level up, he should first enhance the skill levels of Technique Immunity and Heavenly Mastery Dominator Body. Although the Eternal Demon Body is also powerful, it should wait a bit.
"Currently, it takes me about fifteen seconds to recover one Life Value Limit, still somewhat slow. But it can be understood, after all, the Eternal Demon Body is only at LV.6, and when it's upgraded to LV.MAX, it should definitely be faster, maybe even less than ten seconds."
After reviewing the Eternal Demon Body skill, Zhang Yanhang felt there was really nothing more for him to do at the moment. So, without delay, he immediately continued towards the Ayer Mountains.
This time, the journey was rather smooth, not encountering any Permanent Teleportation Channels. Well, actually, he did encounter some, but Zhang Yanhang planned to deal with them later. His main interest was in taking a look at the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Ayer Mountains.
Due to deviating from the course, Zhang Yanhang took over ten seconds to traverse the majority of Niger and reach the Ayer Mountains. But speaking of the Ayer Mountains, this desert terrain clearly couldn't give birth to any high mountains, so the area was more of one undulating hill after another and the plains formed between these hills, also called the Ayer Plateau.
But unsurprisingly, the Ayer Plateau was also full of Permanent Teleportation Channels. The Ayer Mountains blocked the desert sands, making it a rare comfort zone within Niger, but they couldn't block the Permanent Teleportation Channels.
So, this originally largest comfort and settlement area within Niger has now practically no living people left.
Zhang Yanhang originally came here thinking he could collect a few rebel souls to enhance his lifespan, but all he saw were city ruins. And in one city ruin near the edge, during his monster scanning process, he incidentally scanned a safe containing the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures mentioned in the options.
This safe, originally deep within a cellar, survived the monsters' city destruction. Though its exterior was somewhat twisted, internally, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were quite intact, just buried eight meters underground with several meters of building debris on top.
Upon confirming the location of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Zhang Yanhang promptly executed several Death Waves to clear the surrounding low-level monsters, and then retrieved the safe from underground. For Zhang Yanhang, who was nearly twenty meters tall now, this was akin to digging a small pit.
But although he finally obtained the main quest target, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, since it wasn't useful to him, Zhang Yanhang simply placed it in his Waist Bag and disregarded it. After all, he wasn't very interested in cultivation; hacking was more his style.
The monsters surrounding this city ruins were from a Second Tier Transmission Channel. Zhang Yanhang only cleared the monsters within the city, but many were still alive outside. So, he soon circled around and cleared all monsters from this Second Tier Transmission Channel.
Speaking of which, the monsters from this Second Tier Transmission Channel belong to a rather rare type, humanoid monsters, somewhat similar to Naga, all female, with many hands, yet dressed in kimonos and armed with numerous melee weapons and bows.
Their name seemed to be 'Artificial Life·Six-Handed Demon Couple'.
Having a Permanent Teleportation Channel with distinct Japanese characteristics appear in a desolate place like Niger baffled Zhang Yanhang. It can only be said that the randomness of Transmission Channel connections is indeed high at times.
Upon reaching the Ayer Plateau, Zhang Yanhang indeed found that perhaps due to the dense population, he could see two or even three Transmission Channels simultaneously active over many city ruins.
Furthermore, in the Main World, monsters that were supposed to be unable to enter other regions in the Ashen World can do so without restriction. These monsters from multiple regions can now overlap in the same area and won't attack each other.
Of course, they might not attack each other due to a lack of enmity links. If it were a Giant Dragon and Giant's Transmission Channel opened together, chaos would ensue. Similarly, with Human and Goblin Transmission Channels together, forced connections might happen frequently.
However, speaking of forced connections, Zhang Yanhang was curious if local Awakener from Niger would connect with the freakish but passable-bodied Six-Handed Demon Couple.
Even though it's called the Peace Sect, since they are Africans, Zhang Yanhang figured their bottom line might be non-existent, making it hard to predict real situations. Comparing them to Indians forcibly connecting with giant lizards, which is stronger remains uncertain.
After all, Indians occasionally pull off some unimaginable stunts, making Zhang Yanhang in some sense more optimistic about Indians. After all, extraordinary feats surpass the lack of limits.
