Chapter 331 - 188: Stars Falling, Doctrine
Translator: 549690339 |
Under the night sky, over a dozen base satellites slowly descended to thirty thousand meters, emitting dazzling star-like glows, guiding the way like luminous stars.
Intense pulses of signals radiated in all directions, penetrating the clouds and mists formed by the energy barrier.
With the signals from the energy bombers, almost the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range was covered.
Only the deepest parts of the mountain range and some areas with space distortions remained without signal under these circumstances.
Of course, this situation came with a cost. These base satellites would continue to fall, eventually landing in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Although the signal can penetrate, the image cannot, so it is not possible to clearly see people as it is outside.
Hum!
As the demon gas of Mikus in front of them burst out, one of the over ten satellites slowly descending from the high altitude reacted to a hideous skull inside.
An instant later, the voice of the staff echoed in the Military Base Center: “Report, coordinates Cloud Mist Mountain Range horizontal 1793, vertical 2108, detected a strong True Demon aura.”
“Intensity.”
“Late Level 6.”
“Lock onto the aura, notify nearby combatants to surround and eradicate it.”
“Report, there is also a smart wristwatch signal nearby, the owner is first-year student Jack Clark. Both signals overlap and are currently in battle.”
“Late Sixth Heavenly Stage Demon Clan, very strong power, notify nearby people to rush to support as soon as possible…”
In just a few moments, four teams of teachers received the signal within a 500- kilometer radius, and their figures turned towards Jack’s location.
However, it was getting late and although they had night vision, their vision could only reach a range of 100 meters and was not as clear as during the day.
So, even these teachers dared not deploy their full speed in case they accidentally collided with a space crack and died.
Moreover, dealing with the attacking mutated creatures took time, so by the time the nearest team arrived from 100 kilometers away, more than ten minutes had passed.
The battle had already ended.
“He’s dead!” The three Martial Cultivation Teachers stopped and looked at the corpse on the collapsed hillside in shock.
Weren’t they told that there was a late Sixth Heavenly Stage Purgatory Demon Race detected and that it was fighting with a genius from South Sky Martial Height? So that means… Hiss!
The three looked at Jack, who was taking inventory of supplies not far away, their eyes swept over the small leather bag in his hand.
“Jack Clark!?”
Crack! Crack!!
Jack’s battle armor mask on his face cracked open, retracting to both sides to form wing decorations, and he politely said, “Yes, it’s me, nice to meet you, teachers.”
All three fell silent, and after a while, one of the teachers gave a bitter smile: “Mid-stage Fifth Layer Heaven… He’s such a monster.”
At this time, a strong aura of Divine Might lingered in the air, the same as the faint aura emanating from Jack’s body.
So, the three did not question whether this Demon Clan was his kill.
But there is a big difference between defeating and killing.
Among two cultivators at the Sixth Heavenly Middle Stage, the one with slightly stronger strength could defeat the other, but they couldn’t keep the opponent from fleeing.
Even a late Sixth Layer Heaven cultivator couldn’t keep a middle Sixth Layer Heaven cultivator from escaping if they wanted to, unless they exchanged injuries, which is why the Three Teachers had a sense of sudden fear after realizing the truth.
This first-year student’s combat prowess is terrifying.
One of them sighed, “This younger generation… they’re too scary.”
“Yes,” the other two replied with a sigh.
Although, as teachers, being surpassed by the new generation is gratifying, being too strong isn’t good either, which would give them a sense of being useless.
After their regrets, one of them sent a message that the Purgatory Demon was dead, and the other Martial Cultivation Teachers’ teams that were rushing over stopped immediately.
At this point, Jack asked, “Teachers, how many invaders have been discovered and killed so far?”
One of the teachers thought for a moment: “Including this Purgatory Demon, the recorded number of people has reached seventeen. According to the higher- ups’ estimates, there should be no more than five people left.”
Jack frowned slightly, “If the remaining few people hide in a cave in the vast Cloud Mist Mountain Range for a year, what will happen?”
One of the teachers smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, once the base satellite falls tomorrow, they will have nowhere to hide.”
“Inside the base satellite is the blood of a high-level Archbishop, which can be stimulated by a rune matrix to attract the aura of cultivators practicing the same type of Cultivation Method within a certain range.”
“Only if their strength exceeds that of the blood bone owner, or if they change the nature of their Cultivation Method’s power, would they not be affected.”
“However, it is impossible for this group of invaders to do the former, and the Evil Gods, who are the source of power, won’t agree to do the latter, because these malicious beings spread power for evil purposes.”
“I see,” Jack nodded thoughtfully.
Next, the image was uploaded along with an indication that Jack had killed the Demon Clan, and then one of the teachers took out a larger Sumeru Bracelet and stored Mikus’ corpse.
These Purgatory Demon corpses have high research value, and they will be dealt with by specialists when they are taken back.
As for the things on the Demon Clan’s body, they didn’t ask about them, as those belonged to Jack’s personal spoils.’
However, when the news of Jack killing the Purgatory Demon reached the Monitoring Center in the rear base, the atmosphere was quiet as they looked at the Demon Clan corpse on the big screen.
“Ahem, I think there is nothing worth discussing about this topic, everyone continues to work.”
“Right, we’re used to shaking today, don’t mind it. It’s just a Demon Clan with an estimated combat power of late Sixth Layer Heaven.”
