"Rumble!!!"
Amid deafening thunder, Chen Qiu's Lightning-Channeling Art struck first, shooting into the Nian Beast's body. Aside from a few divine-sense attacks that were a hair faster than his Lightning-Channeling Art, the other cultivators' attacks had yet to land when the Nian Beast exploded into a rain of blood and died on the spot!
One strike, instantly killing a Golden Core Sixth Layer Nian Beast!
Without the "Myriad Arts Unified" trait, he could still have killed this Golden Core Sixth Layer Nian Beast, but not nearly so quickly.
After all, there was a clear difference between hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons enveloping a Nian Beast and hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons exploding inside its body.

"You dealt 93% damage to the third-stage Nian Beast and received one 'Merit Defense Token'." "You dealt the final blow to the third-stage Nian Beast and received one 'Merit Attack Token'."
"..."
Chen Qiu looked at the two tokens that had appeared in his Heavenly Dao Ring. They looked almost identical, save for the words upon them—one was a Merit Defense Token, while the other was a Merit Attack Token.
Both were single-use items.
Their effects were simple.
Once a Merit Defense Token was activated, it would resist all attacks for the next hour. The amount of Merit Value consumed depended on the attack's power. If its Merit Value ran out beforehand, the token would shatter early.
Otherwise, once the hour was up, the Merit Defense Token would shatter automatically.
As for the Merit Attack Token—
It was even more simple and brutal. Depending on how much Merit Value one chose to consume, it would unleash an immensely powerful strike. Just how powerful it was depended on the Merit Value expended.
After delivering one strike, it too would shatter.
And
