BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 - 64 You are the Challenger_1
The Frost Bone Giant Dragon’s main attack method is the “Icy Breath.”
The breath’s range is not only vast and the cooldown relatively short, but under the enigmatic value of 688, it possesses a nearly freezing power that can solidify anything.
One breath and even soul entities like evil spirits would be thoroughly encapsulated in ice.
Even when Jiang Chen controlled the primeval mecha to release a high-energy laser through the Crystal of Divine Punishment.
Or when he used his own life force energy, augmented with the heat of transcendent fire.
As soon as the laser and flame came into contact with the Icy Breath,
they too were rapidly encased in ice, turning into vividly detailed frozen sculptures!
“This has probably surpassed the concept of ‘temperature’ and entered the realm of ‘magic,’”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.
Fortunately, being “frozen” did not mean “death.”
During the freezing process, the mecha would continue to sustain massive ice and frost damage.
But, as long as one had enough defense, it was possible to break free from the ice and escape the frozen state before the mecha shattered.
Moreover, only targets hit by the Icy Breath would be forcibly frozen.
After the breath ended, one could still use flames, lasers, and other forces to attack the outer layer of ice, achieving a rapid thaw.
Otherwise, the Frost Bone Giant Dragon would merely need one breath to indiscriminately freeze any genius mecha pilot to death.
Even so, its high-speed flight ability coupled with the breath’s power was undoubtedly worthy of the label “unparalleled.”
Even after Jiang Chen utilized the ability of Mecha Soul Fusion,
and forcibly increased the primeval mecha’s performance through his own life force energy,
the battle still firmly tipped against him.
He would occasionally be caught in a frozen state, and weapons like the Insect King’s Spear and high-energy lightsaber would rapidly wear down due to the freezing damage.
The damage dealt to the Frost Bone Giant Dragon was extremely minor.
Most attacks on the Frost Bone only caused some cracks,
which were considered trivial injuries to the undead, healing with ease.
Only when Jiang Chen saw an opportunity, during the intervals of the dragon’s breath and fiercely threw the Insect King’s Spear—
did he manage to penetrate its Soul Fire, causing severe injury.
It was this very strike that truly enraged the Frost Bone Giant Dragon.
“Pitiful living being, you have earned my acknowledgment,”
“Now, you are finally worthy to witness what true power is.”
The voice of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon came through the cold wind.
It soared high with a forceful flap of its wings, raised its skeletal head, and breathed a winter blast onto the clouds.
The power of freezing spread rapidly, turning vast swathes of clouds into extreme ice.
The Frost Bone Giant Dragon did not pause, but directly collided with the glacier in the sky!
However, when the dragon’s bones touched the glacier, there was no collision, but they quickly merged into it.
In just a moment, when the Frost Bone Giant Dragon fell from the clouds, its form had already changed.
The azure bones were now enveloped by flesh forged of ice, layers of dragon scales congealed from frost and snow.
Its appearance was no longer emaciated, but as formidable as in life, brimming with overwhelming strength.
The ice-sculpted dragon eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Chen.
“Now, I permit you to join the realm of the deceased, bestowing upon you a noble death.”

[Rank: 1]
[Attributes: Strength 688, Agility 450, Defense 688, Enigmatism 688.]
In its second form, the agility of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon hadn’t changed much.
Its strength had almost doubled, soaring to 688 points directly, while defense also received a substantial boost.
It did not continue using its breath; instead, it beat its icy wings, causing the air to surge.
Transforming into a raptor, it dove down like lightning, ferociously gripping the primeval mecha.
The Soul Fire burned in the ice with a violent thrill.
Slaughter, devour!
The living shall perish!
The previously combative purple-white giant could only oppose it by unleashing all of its potential.
But faced with the attack of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon, it had no power to resist, being firmly grasped.
The roots on the mecha’s surface desperately fought against the claws of ice, looking so pale and feeble, as the Armor Value plummeted visibly at a rapid pace.
Moments later, the Roots Core completely collapsed!
The claws of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon finally pierced the outer armor without hindrance—inserting inside—
Sweet death!
The next moment.
The icy claws suddenly stopped, as if they had touched the hardest substance in the world, and could no longer advance an inch.
What is this?
The Frost Bone Giant Dragon looked down in astonishment, gazing at its claw.
Beneath the shattered roots, a man in a black bodysuit gently held the tip of the dragon’s claw.
No matter how hard it tried, it could no longer move forward the slightest bit.

The Frost Bone Giant Dragon looked at the man.
It felt a powerful force exuding from him, far surpassing its own and nearly reaching the level of an undying sovereign!
Wait a minute…
Why did he hide such great power in the weak vines?
As the Frost Bone Giant Dragon was astonished, a golden crystal emerged on Jiang Chen’s forehead.
Like a third eye, it radiated intense golden light.
“Stage 3, kid.”
The scorching high-energy beam had its power significantly enhanced.
It easily suppressed the Frost Bone Giant Dragon’s Icy Breath, melted its icy flesh and blood, pierced through its skull, and struck its Soul Fire.
With a slight change in angle, the Frost Bone Giant Dragon couldn’t even make a sound, as it was completely cut by the golden laser!
The surging abyss atmosphere flowed into the Abyss Rune.

Compared to the 2nd Stage Primeval Mecha, Jiang Chen in the 3rd Stage had a tremendous increase in attributes.
The Frost Bone Giant Dragon failed to solo the boss and was defeated.
It even unveiled its signature skill!
The abyss leader of the Nightmare difficulty level was no longer producing low-quality, useless mecha modules.
The quality has reached an excellent level.
