Chapter 115 - 107: The Mountain Peak Collapses, The Battle of the Ninth Heavens (Added for Alliance Master Warm Sun, Twelve)
With the departure of the two lively fellows, Zac Lyons and White Veil, Jack Clark felt the Hotel Base seemed a bit quieter.
However, this had no effect on him.
Back at the hotel, Jack Clark continued his cultivation, only slowing down because he was unwilling to exchange Contribution Points for more Energy Crystal Body, which affected his regular rate of cultivation.
During his cultivation, Jack found himself drawn into the consciousness of the Sword Armor Beast.
Under the sea surface, two hundred meters deep, the eight-meter-long Unique Beast lay hidden in the darkness. Its body was perfectly still, and even the fiery red, ghastly feather horns on both sides were slightly retracted.
Not far from it, three Crystal Corner Mutated Fish, each ten meters long, were patrolling their territory, searching for the dangerous creature that had continually attacked members of their species.
Over the past ten or so days, the Sword Armor Beast had almost wiped out over a dozen Crystal Corner Mutated Fish below nine meters long.
Under such circumstances, the slightly intelligent Mutated Fish became more vigilant. The remaining six ten-meter long Mutated Fish patrolled their territories daily.
On top of that, every day one of the three gigantic Mutated Fish, measuring fifteen, twenty, and twenty-three meters long respectively, would come out to patrol the surrounding sea area of a dozen kilometers.
But the ocean was not like the land; it was a three-dimensional space.
So, as long as the Sword Armor Beast stayed motionless on the pitch-black seabed hundreds of meters deep, those Crystal Corner Mutated Fish would not discover it.
Unless of course they happened to encounter each other face to face in close range due to bad luck.
It was only when the three Crystal Corner Mutated Fish moved away and the Sword Armor Beast perceived calm in the nearby water did it slightly move, “These guys are too vigilant. It’s not easy to kill them.”
Based on its perception, the Sword Armor Beast was confident that it could obliterate a single ten-meter long Crystal Corner Mutated Fish on its own.
However, handling the three gathered together would be a bit problematic. The energy attack speed of their freezing light beam was too fast, and the Sword Armor Beast couldn’t guarantee that it would be fine if it was frozen.
But if it were to attract a Crystal Corner Mutated Fish around ten or twenty meters long, even the Sword Armor Beast would find it troublesome.
After all, these creatures were not physically strong, but their energy attacks were incredibly powerful due to their high level. The cold light capable of freezing everything was something even the Sword Armor Beast was wary of.
“Forget it, let’s spare them for now.” After weighing his options, the Sword Armor Beast chose to turn around and leave them be, planning to eat them once its strength increased.
Under the dark deep sea, the equally dark and horrifying Variant Beast vanished in a blink of an eye.
With the speed of the Sword Armor Beast, it quickly left the sea area of several tens of kilometers and started to ascend as soon as it was far from the territory of the Crystal Corner Mutated Fish.
However, the ocean was the ocean. Just as the Sword Armor Beast swam up to a depth of over 50 meters, two ten-meter long Mutated White Sharks appeared in front.
Compared to regular White Sharks, these two mutated ones were huge, their bodies covered with grey armor-like scales, their mouths filled with sharp teeth.
The sunlight filtering through the water at this moment allowed the Sword Armor Beast to see far, but also made it easier for other fish to see it.
Thus, just as the black Variant Beast approached within dozens of meters, the two Mutated White Sharks noticed it.
Compared to these two muscular Mutated White Sharks, the Sword Armor Beast seemed somehow less intimidating although it had a ferocious look, its tail took up half its body.
Due to this, the two Variants swung their tails immediately, churned up turbulent seawater and charged towards the Sword Armor Beast creating a pincer attack. Their speed was incredibly fast.
Buzz!!
Just as they approached the Sword Armor Beast, the two Mutated White Sharks opened their mouths and an invisible ultrasonic roar exploded. The shockwave caused all the small fish and shrimp within a range of tens of meters to flop over, belly up.
Even the Sword Armor Beast was somewhat taken aback.
It didn’t expect that the White Sharks, despite not having vocal cords, would possess ultrasonic attack capabilities after mutation. The shock even left it a bit… unharmed.
Roar! The Sword Armor Beast unleashed a roar that was unlike a tiger yet eerily similar, the sound cutting through the sea water, echoing with an intangible sense of authority.
Amid the roar, the ferocious black Variant Beast flashed to the side, its left claw swiping with monstrous power hit the approaching Mutated Shark in the head. The terrifying force caused an explosion of seawater and flesh.
At the same time, its tail at the back swung like a divine dragon, tearing through the sea water like a black afterimage, and smacking hard into the head of the variant beast on its right. The pressure immediately caused its scales to explode and its flesh to burst open.
Originally, the tail strike was aimed to pierce through its skull, but the Mutated White Shark reacted quickly and dodged the bone spur that could have killed it instantly.
Even so, the horrible force carried by the black tail still sent the Mutated White Shark flying, causing it to roll over and over in the sea water.
Splutter! The instant the right Mutated White Shark was sent flying, the Sword Armor Beast burst forward with terrifying speed. Within the blink of an eye, it was right in front of the stunned White Shark on the left.
Its forelimbs’ muscles suddenly bulged, and in an instant, a terrifying force converged from all over its body. Its two claws descended like a palm.
Boom!
Material-like force exploded in the sea water, a circle of white shockwave detonating in the sea. The head of the Variant White Shark, even larger than a sedan car, instantly burst open.
Immediately, dense blood and white matter spurted out, painting the surrounding sea water red.
While its body belonged to a Variant Beast, the Sword Armor Beast’s main consciousness was still Jack Clark. Therefore, whenever it attacked its prey, it preferred attacking the head, back, belly, and other vulnerable spots.
Just as the Sword Armor Beast instant-killed a Mutated White Shark, the other one sensed the violent aura radiated by it when it released its power for the attack. A sense of escape instinct arose.
This instinct was like a seal encountering a Tiger Whale with no courage left to fight back.
Following its instinct, the Mutated White Shark wanted to escape. But just as it turned around, a shadow flashed in the sea water. The next second, the menacing Sword Armor Beast appeared before it.
After three evolutions, the body structure of the Sword Armor Beast had been optimised and adjusted, making its speed in the water extremely terrifying.
Buzz!
Seeing an escape was impossible, the Mutated White Shark’s eyes turned blood red and it went into a battle frenzy. It gave out another ultrasonic attack, opening its huge mouth to reveal hundreds of fang-like teeth.
Thud!
The Sword Armor Beast grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the white shark with its two claws. Its terrifying strength prevented it from closing them, and simultaneously, their huge bodies collided. The surrounding sea water churned with rolling waves.
Bump! Bump! Bump! Bump!! Struggling with its mouth gripped, the Mutated White Shark wriggled its body furiously, releasing astonishing power, but…
Slash! Accompanied by the muscular expanding claws of the Sword Armor Beast, with its terrifying strength it rips directly through the head of the white shark. Blood burst out in an instant.
In just a bit, the sea water within dozens of meters was dyed red with the gushing blood of the two mutant white sharks.
In the blood-stained sea water, an eight-meter long black fearsome unique beast slowly surfaced, revealing its terrifyingly violent aura, like a king of all unique beasts.
And when the Sword Armor Beast was devouring the white shark’s flesh and blood, on the hotel balcony, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes, frowning slightly.
“It’s just a Level Two Variant Beast.”
Through the energy embedded in the flesh and blood, Jack Clark could confirm that the two mutant white sharks, about ten meters long, were merely at a late-stage Level Two, hence why they were so easily killed.
But they were quite powerful for Level Two Variant Beasts evolved with supersonic abilities. It appears that even after mutation, sharks remain formidable creatures.
At the same time, Jack Clark keenly noticed that in the ocean, one cannot fully judge a creature’s level based on size, especially those marine life that are innately large.
But the two Level Two white sharks weren’t completely useless. At least after eating tthem, the size of the Sword Armor Beast had increased significantly, and Jack Clark’s Four Major Attributes had also increased by one point.
Also, he had gained two more Evolution Points.
While Jack Clark was engrossed in his hunting and food,
Thousands of miles away from him, countless powerful individuals had converged on Erica Knowles.
Eastern Summer had 72 first-class universities altogether and even more secondary and tertiary institutions. Each leader of a university was an advanced cultivator of the Sixth-level Heaven.
Especially the top-class schools, such as South Sky Martial Height, had up to six teachers leading the way, all at the peak of the Six Heavens or in the Seventh Heaven.
In such a situation, the number of elite powerhouses gathered in Erica Knowles was enormous.
That night, a terrifying battle broke out in the mountains, tens of kilometers away from Kelter. The skies were filled with shining light, shaking rumbles and ground-shattering impacts.
Even a mountain peak was completely destroyed.
The next morning, the chat group ‘Three Nine’ was going crazy.
“@Jack Clark, @Justin Welan, you missed out a lot by not coming.”
Matt Watkins was a bit excited: “An action from the peak powerhouse of the Ninth Heavens occurred last night. Even tens of kilometers apart, the fear-inspiring power was palpable, too scary.”
Crystal Leinster also exclaimed: “I know they said that the peak powerful individuals could strike down an aircraft carrier and ignore the surrounding warships and bombings. I originally thought it was an exaggeration.”
Justin Welan popped out, saying in shock: “Such powerful individuals have actually appeared this time, how can this be? Isn’t it said that the top strong ones are not in this world?”
Mandy Leinster said gently, “It is said that a fallen individual from the Ninth
Heaven has emerged. The powerhouse came to counter him.”
Freya Louise also said, “Last night, many high-ranking powerhouses from the Seventh and Eighth Heavens emerged as well. They were walking in the air, jointly besieging the bishop and god envoy of the Evil God Sect.”
“The scene was too grand last night. Fortunately, we chose to come; otherwise, we wouldn’t have seen this spectacle.” Matt Watkins continued to provoke them.
Justin Welan was a bit sour, “What scene, you think you can fool me? The range of the high-ranking powerhouses is too great. You small prawns don’t dare to go close.”
“Let alone see it, as soon as you get close, the terror of the True Martial Will could severely injure you.”
Matt Watkins, who was exposed, was a bit awkward: “Although we couldn’t see it, we could feel that terrifying power.”
“And we didn’t come out empty-handed. While those high-ranking powerhouses were besieging the strong individuals from the Evil God Sect, we went after those ordinary cultists.”
At this moment, Jack Clark curiously asked, “How so? What did you get?”
Though he was a bit curious about the grand scene from last night, he didn’t envy them at all since even the peak powerhouse of the Ninth Heaven had appeared.
Such powerhouses were rumored to be capable of crushing mountains and valleys, and their flesh bodies could move at supersonic speeds. Whenever they fought, it spanned a distance of tens of kilometers.
In such a situation, daring to watch is just seeking death.
“Not much, I only killed two cultists at the Second Layer Heaven, and one at the Third Layer Heaven.” Matt Watkins was a bit proud, completely dropping his steady and shrewd mask.
Crystal Leinster, “I’ve killed one cultist at the Second Layer Heaven and one at the Third Layer Heaven.”
Mandy Leinster, “Two cultists at the Third Layer Heaven.”
Freya Louise, “A Blood Envoy at the Fourth Layer Heaven.”
“Freya Louise, you’ve actually killed a Blood Envoy at the Fourth Layer Heaven!” Justin Welan was surprised.
The Blood Envoys are not weak after absorbing high-level blood seeds. Even when faced with talents of the same level, they have an advantage. Considering that Freya Louise just broke through the Third Realm…
Freya Louise, “[Blinking Eyes] I was lucky. That Blood Envoy was injured by some advanced cultivator. Even so, I exhaused an Armour-Piercing bullet.”
Alright, forget that their weapons are unique. With her special sniper cannon and high-damage bullets, combined with a special cultivation method that decreases her presence and a mask killing intent,
She is naturally an assassin.
In addition to their well-divided responsibilities within their four-member team, with Crystal Leinster, Mandy Leinster and Matt Watkins fighting on the front lines, while Freya Louise secretly looking for high places from where to snipe
This meant that they were invincible in Kaleb Tuul city, having killed more cultists and rebel cultivators than Jack Clark and his team, boasting illustrious accomplishments.
At this moment, Jack Clark asked, “Were all the strong individuals of the Evil God Sect all killed?”
Crystal Leinster replied, “No, it’s hard to kill powerhouses of that level if they want to escape, especially some lunatics who would explode herself at a disagreement, making people wary.”
“It is said that in the end, one-tenth of the strong individuals from the Evil God
Sect managed to escape. However, most of them were heavily injured.”
Jack Clark frowned, “In this case, be careful for the next operation over there.”
“Okay, we understand..”
