In simple terms, Zhang Nu retained all his stats and some skills while fully transforming into a powerful and massive behemoth.
The Hero Amit's race, in terms of talent, was not inferior to that of the Abyssal Dragon, which explained his formidable power. Zhang Nu's stats and overall strength, however, were far superior to Amit's. When he hunted Amit, obtained his Hero Crystal, and acquired the behemoth form, it could be said that the current Primeval Behemoth Zhang Nu was even stronger than Amit himself.
The surviving five Behemoth Kings, along with other high-ranking behemoths and the six Hero groups of the Savage Beast Empire, were utterly stunned when they saw Zhang Nu in his current form. Who could have imagined that this Demon King had obtained Amit's Primeval Behemoth form? Did it mean that he had truly defeated the nearly demigod-like Amit? How was that even possible?
Moreover, compared to Amit, this guy's strength was not only not weaker but had reached an almost unfathomable level. The attack Zhang Nu had just used was one of the behemoth's innate skills, "Destruction Claw," which had a strong defense-ignoring effect.
Even without any additional power, such an attack from Zhang Nu would have been enough to kill a monarch-class opponent. The behemoth's damage capabilities and the skill's defense-ignoring nature were incredibly potent. Not to mention Zhang Nu had infused it with the power of the Evil God. With the power of the Evil God Eyes, especially now that Zhang Nu possessed seven of them, the destructive force he could unleash was unparalleled. The power of this single claw strike was unimaginably terrifying.
If the Behemoth King hadn't used the damage-sharing skill, it would have been a straightforward death, and most of the damage would have been redundant. However, this Behemoth King was linked to his subordinates through his commander-type skill. As a result, the damage he couldn't bear was distributed to the others, ensuring that every bit of damage was fully absorbed by the behemoth giant legion.
Ignoring defense and with incredibly high damage, this explained why Zhang Nu's single strike managed to take out hundreds of high-level behemoths. Among these giants, there were many Level 5 overlords, whose strength was nearly comparable to that of an Abyssal Dragon, making them the strongest base combat units.
Before anyone else could react, Zhang Nu continued to unleash behemoth skills. Everyone could clearly see Zhang Nu's body turn crimson, as if it were burning, though the flames were blood-red. Zhang Nu's entire behemoth form transformed into a state somewhere between energy and flesh. His already terrifyingly strong and violent aura was increasing exponentially, by tenfold or twentyfold, reaching a level that was truly intimidating.
The mere presence of his murderous aura alone was enough to make units below Level 4 overlord unable to look at him directly. For those below Level 3 overlord, being within a thousand meters of Zhang Nu would result in death within five seconds.
A Behemoth King's expression changed drastically: "This is the chieftain's World-Ending Behemoth form!"
The so-called World-Ending Behemoth was actually the behemoth's Level 5 talent "World-Ending Fury." It wasn't a transformation skill but a state skill, similar to "Death Sacrifice." It boosted strength by burning the user's essence and blood, which was essentially HP. However, Death Sacrifice only enhanced skill power and, as an A-rank skill, its boost wasn't very high. World-Ending Fury was different. As a Level 5 Behemoth Tyrant talent, its effects were incomparable.
Under the effect of World-Ending Fury, every point of HP consumed could be used to increase strength, agility, or damage by 1 point for one minute. This meant that the higher the base stats, the stronger the enhancement effect. With Zhang Nu's current HP exceeding hundreds of thousands of points, and with skills like the Eye of Regeneration and Rebirth from Within the Flames to aid him, the effects he could achieve using this skill were beyond ordinary comprehension.
Additionally, behemoths had many berserker-type skills. For instance, its Level 4 talent "Endless Bloodlust" increased attributes and skill effectiveness the more HP was lost. As long as HP hadn't hit zero, the behemoth wouldn't become weak or severely injured, maintaining its peak state and gaining an extraordinary resistance to control-type skills.
Zhang Nu poured all hundred and eighty thousand points of HP into the "World-Ending Fury" skill. This HP was converted into a damage boost of equal points, meaning that any attack Zhang Nu made would inflict an additional hundred and eighty thousand points of damage. Furthermore, under the berserker effects of "Endless Bloodlust," "Bloodthirst Berserk," "Slaughter Fest," and "Behemoth Tyrant," Zhang Nu's attributes were exponentially amplified. With his HP reduced to just 1 point, the enhancements became exceptionally formidable.
Zhang Nu's current attack power was so overwhelming that even his own body would lose most of its HP if hit by a single of his own attacks. It was essential to note that Amit, a Level 6 legendary Hero, wasn't a weak opponent by any means. Zhang Nu's victory was largely due to his ability to counter Amit's strengths effectively. During their battle, Amit never had the chance to utilize these capabilities fully.
"Damn it! Kill him quickly! His HP is critically low!"
"Just one attack! Just a single attack, and he'll be dead!!"
A Behemoth King roared, charging forward with a collision skill. He shattered a nearby hill and rushed towards Zhang Nu, intending to kill him, who had only 1 point of life force left.
"Admirable courage! But too naive!" Zhang Nu laughed, extending a single finger. He used no skill, merely pointing at the Behemoth charging with devastating force. The moment his finger touched the Behemoth King -
-357,589!
With just a casual finger point, Zhang Nu inflicted over 350,000 damage. The Behemoth King didn't even have time to scream before the destructive power obliterated him into nothing! It was incredibly terrifying! Everyone was stunned by the horror! A casual point annihilated the Behemoth King! Zhang Nu's current damage output was so immense that touching him meant certain death. No one in this world could withstand his power!
That point could shatter anything!
"Attack!"
"Use magic attacks!"
"Use ranged attacks!"
Despite knowing Zhang Nu's terrifying strength, they weren't about to give up the opportunity. Zhang Nu's life force was extremely low; although he could kill anyone he touched, he was also very vulnerable to being killed. These people were clearly underestimating the situation. With the Eye of Regeneration, how could Zhang Nu be killed? With his current abilities, he could easily revive on the spot ten times over without any problem!
However, Zhang Nu had no intention of letting them succeed. He activated the Level 5 Behemoth Tyrant's talent "Immortal Physique". His previously burning red body suddenly turned golden. This skill was extremely powerful. It could enhance defense by hundreds of times in a short period. In this state, the Behemoth Tyrant was practically invincible and indestructible!
This skill seemed specifically designed to complement "World-Ending Fury," granting the behemoth immense explosive power and terrifying survivability. This showcased how strong Amit truly was. If he hadn't been caught off guard and poisoned by Zhang Nu's Corrupted Blood, even Zhang Nu would have needed considerable effort to defeat him.
"It's useless!"
"Our attacks are ineffective!"
"We can't win this!"
A leader of one of the Hero groups realized the problem: "Retreat, retreat for now. His berserk state won't last long!"
Indeed, both "World-Ending Fury" and "Immortal Physique" had very short durations. If they chose to evade now, they could turn the tide once the skill effects wore off, right?
Unfortunately, they knew nothing about true power.
Zhang Nu activated the Eye of Domination. A wave of unparalleled, terrifying psychic power enveloped everyone present, immobilizing them and stripping them of their ability to act. Immediately after, he activated the behemoth talent "Death Hunt!" Dozens of red energy tendrils extended from Zhang Nu's body, grasping the remaining four Behemoth Kings, the leaders of the Hero groups, and various empire elites and high-level Heroes.
The behemoth talent "Death Hunt" was not just a grasping skill but also capable of transmitting damage. This meant that any damage received by one of the captured targets would be shared by all the others.
"Eye of Destruction!"
Zhang Nu's claws gathered black energy so intense it distorted and even fractured the space around it, exuding an aura of despair. In the next moment, Zhang Nu extended his finger once more. The destructive finger strike pierced the heart of a captured Hero.
-550,000!
The instant attack spread out. Dozens of captured targets simultaneously felt Zhang Nu's strike. The four Behemoth Kings, unable to contain the damage, transferred it to their subordinates. In an instant, thousands of high-level behemoths and high-level Heroes were obliterated, vanishing as if they had never existed in this world."
