I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 498 The Primal Runes are so useless, there's another possibility.

During these days, Jiang Chen did not slack off in the slightest.

His Lightning Undead Wings also gradually improved through continuous training.

At this moment, these powerful wings had reached level 4.

"Lightning Undead Wings (Level 4): After being summoned, the user and the summoned creature will gain the ability to fly for 40 seconds. Cooldown time is 7 minutes."

As skill level increases, flight speed increases, and cooldown time gradually decreases.

At this moment, the Lightning Undead Wings' flight speed had reached an astonishing 800 meters per second, a speed sufficient for him to traverse a vast area in a short time.

After flying dozens of kilometers, Jiang Chen began to see a large number of monsters in his field of vision.

In order to test his new skills, he knew that real-world practice was the best testing ground.

After some searching, Jiang Chen finally identified a BOSS as his target.

Judging from its size and imposing presence, this should be a lord-level BOSS, roughly level 75.

As a relatively safe continent in the lower space, the monsters on Shenlong Continent are relatively limited in strength.

The strongest monster is only an 80-level world boss, while the other monsters are generally around level 70.

This lord-level BOSS naturally became Jiang Chen's test subject.

At his summons, the entire undead army mobilized. Skeletons, berserkers, archmages, and archers—a total of 32670—with 10890 of each type of undead, maintaining a perfect balance in numbers.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen summoned all the elemental liches again.

During the previous battle, he summoned the Frost Lich, thus replacing the Poison Lich.

Now, the six elemental liches have gathered together: Flame, Storm, Ice, Earth, Lightning, and Undead.

Six different colored halos shimmered and spun beneath the feet of the undead legion, their dazzling light creating a powerful visual impact.

Apart from the skeletons in the reserve queue, Jiang Chen had summoned all the undead he could summon.

On the back of his right hand, the character "者" began to glow.

Skill: Gather Power! Jiang Chen was initially a little unfamiliar with this new skill when he first used it.

But I quickly got used to it.

In his spiritual world, each summoned creature has a unique location and a unique connection.

This is equivalent to forming a vast and interconnected mental network for all summoned creatures within his mental realm.

For summoners, a spiritual connection with their summoned creatures is essential.

As the skill was activated, countless points of light began to flicker in Jiang Chen's mental world.

His inner world became dazzling, and his whole being seemed to radiate light.

A tremendous power emanated from all the summoned creatures.

Jiang Chen felt his strength constantly increasing, his agility improving, and his mental strength and physique also being strengthened.

Not only the skeleton soldiers, but also the power of the lich general and the elemental lich were converging on him.

He was surprised to find that he had mastered the berserk attack skills of the Skeleton Berserker.

Following that, the Skeleton Archmage's Elemental Explosion skill, the Sharpshooter's Precision Shot skill, the Lich General's powerful skills, and the Elemental Lich's unique abilities...

He had mastered all the skills.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind: since he had mastered the Lich General's skills...

"Does this mean that I can also use skills to neutralize the corpse poison?"

He barely hesitated before immediately using the corresponding skill on a monster.

The skill's light flickered in Jiang Chen's hand, and he felt that both he and the undead legion were affected by it. However, regrettably, the skill had no effect on the monsters.

Although he inherited the Lich General's skills, they seem to only work on himself and the undead army.

Nevertheless, this was the first time Jiang Chen had truly experienced the role of support skills.

only…

He did not feel that his attributes had improved.

"The skill has been released, so why hasn't the power increased?" Jiang Chen wondered.

He checked his own attributes.

Name: Jiang Chen (Power Gathering Status)

"Level: 53"

Strength: 1000000

Agility: 1000000

"Spirit: 1000000" "Constitution: 1000000"

Jiang Chen was shocked by his own attribute data.

His four-dimensional attributes all reached an astonishing 100 million.

With all four attributes balanced and a total of 400 million, it is comparable to an 80-level world boss.

It's unbelievable that a human at only level 53 could possess such powerful attributes in such a short time.

"If I use the 'Strong Soldier' ​​skill again, wouldn't my attributes increase by another 200%?" Jiang Chen felt a strong sense of anticipation.

"If that's the case, each of my attributes will reach 300 million, and my total attributes will reach an astonishing 1200 million. Wouldn't that make me comparable to a god-level powerhouse?"

In Jiang Chen's understanding, god-level powerhouses were those whose total basic attributes exceeded 1000 million. At this moment, he seemed to be only one step away from that realm.

Jiang Chen was filled with excitement just from imagining it for a moment.

Without further hesitation, he immediately activated the "Strong Soldier" skill.

As the light of the skill shone down, the skeletons' aura instantly became even stronger.

However, Jiang Chen himself did not feel any change.

He checked his attributes and found that each attribute was still at 100 million, without any increase.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, and some guesses gradually formed in his mind.

"It seems that 100 million for a single attribute is probably my limit right now," he muttered to himself.

"Perhaps as my level increases, this limit will gradually increase as well."

Jiang Chen felt that his guess made a lot of sense. "But even in my current state, my strength is already extremely powerful."

A surge of pride welled up within him. With a total attribute of 400 million, plus the skills inherited from his summoned creatures, his burst damage had reached an astonishing level.

In particular, the Berserk Smash skill inherited from the Skeleton Berserker can instantly unleash damage equivalent to 600% of the Strength attribute.

With his strength attribute of 100 million, this attack can cause damage equivalent to 700 million strength.

While the "Strong Soldier" skill cannot further enhance his attributes, the 500% damage increase still exists.

Jiang Chen couldn't wait to try out this powerful force.

He took out a platinum-grade axe from his storage space and charged towards the BOSS without hesitation.

He quickly used his detection technique to check the BOSS's information.

"Bloodfang Roaring Ape King (World Boss)" "Level: 73"

Strength: 800000

Agility: 550000

"Spirit: 550000"

Constitution: 700000

Skill: Raging Roar, Powerful Attack

"Traits: Reduces Anemo DMG by 50%, increases HP, and increases ATK."

This boss possesses single-element immunity and dual enhancements, making it only a mid-tier boss among world-class bosses.

Even so, such a BOSS is still a huge challenge for the average player.

However, Jiang Chen was filled with anticipation and confidence at this moment.

Jiang Chen felt that this BOSS was not as powerful as the legends suggested; many world BOSSes possess unique passive skills.

However, the Roaring Fang Beast King before them seemed rather ordinary.

"Although it has weaknesses, it's perfect for experimentation." Jiang Chen smiled and quickly rushed towards the BOSS.

The Bloodfang Roaring Ape King had already detected Jiang Chen's approach using its detection technique. It instantly sprang up, as fast as lightning.

It let out a deafening roar, and countless sharp spikes rapidly grew on its body, making it look like a giant hedgehog.

"So you have a passive ability too. It seems I underestimated you." Jiang Chen felt a chill, but he wasn't panicked.

He swung his platinum-grade axe, and a powerful red light burst forth from it, illuminating the entire battlefield.

This was the first time he had personally used the Berserker skill, and the experience was completely different from watching the Skeleton Berserker use it.

Jiang Chen has a deep understanding of various professions and is proficient in various combat styles. The axe is one of the berserker's signature weapons, and he wields it with ease.

This axe strike was even more powerful than when the Skeleton Berserker used it, as if it could tear space apart.

He felt as if he had become one with the axe, feeling the violent power surging within him.

The Berserk Slaughter skill erupted instantly, and the powerful impact caused the Bloodfang Roaring Ape King to let out a painful roar.

Jiang Chen gripped the axe tightly, his eyes resolute and cold. He didn't stop, continuing his attack, each swing carrying the force of a thunderbolt.

Although the Bloodfang Roaring Ape King was powerful, it began to show signs of being overwhelmed by Jiang Chen's ferocious attacks.

Jiang Chen was filled with excitement and anticipation. He knew he was setting a new record and pushing his limits.

All of this is simply to better protect oneself and those around one's family.

With a deafening roar, Jiang Chen's axe cleaved towards the head of the Bloodfang Roaring Ape King like a meteor.

The precise strike seemed to freeze the very air.

With a crisp crack, Jiang Chen seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

Bloodfang Roar Ape King howled in pain, its sharp spikes shooting out like swords.

The spikes were incredibly fast, almost as fast as lightning, giving Jiang Chen almost no chance to dodge.

However, when the spikes struck Jiang Chen, they were like mud oxen sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple.

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smug smile. His physique was as high as 100 million, while the world BOSS's strength was only 80. Breaking through his defense would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

He easily withstood the attack without even using any damage transfer skills.

At this moment, Jiang Chen truly felt his own power. Suddenly, elemental power erupted.

Bloodfang Roar Ape King let out another miserable scream and was blasted away through the air.

However, despite its impressive appearance, it did not actually suffer much substantial damage.

The power of elemental explosions is ultimately limited, after all, it's only a level 50 skill. Although Jiang Chen's attributes are powerful, the skill's power itself is still somewhat lacking.

The only advantage is that this skill combines the Sharpshooter's Soul Lock, which guarantees a 100% hit rate, making it slightly stronger than the Skeleton Archmage's skill.

That's it.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen tried a few other skills.

With the support of a large number of basic attributes, some skills such as Soul Burn have indeed been enhanced.

However, skills like Skeleton Fang and Venomous Starburst remained unchanged. Overall, while the "Gathering Power" skill significantly enhanced Jiang Chen's attributes, it didn't bring a major boost to his overall combat strength.

Even with his attributes greatly enhanced, his combat power is only equivalent to a few dozen skeleton berserkers, and this state can only be maintained for 5 minutes.

This made Jiang Chen feel like he had fallen from the clouds, as if all his previous expectations and excitement had vanished.

Is the "Primal Rune" skill really that useless?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled.

However, at that moment, he suddenly realized the true purpose of this skill, and he became excited again!

This was an aspect he had never considered before.
