Chapter 640: 292: From Death to Life, Gabriella: Jack Clark Saved Me (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Even though he was a Fifth Layer Heaven Cultivator, digging such a huge pit for two days also left him somewhat exhausted.
“Phew! Take a break.”
Leaning on his makeshift ‘shovel,’ Justin wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitated as he looked at the half-exposed stone carving: “That said, I hope I haven’t been busy for days for nothing.”
From the initial surprise of discovering the damaged stele to the confusion after studying the inscriptions on the stele and discerning nothing, Justin also felt some doubt at this point.
“Forget it; if I can’t understand it, I will dig out the stone carvings first. Jack always said, when you encounter inscriptions or statues that you can’t decipher, just dig them all out first.”
“Many special stone carvings require their integrity to receive some kind of enlightenment.”
“Work hard today to finish early so I can continue to watch Jack show off tonight, heh heh.”
Witnessing his good brother’s rapid rise and the talents that became ever more impressive, shocking everyone again and again, filled Justin with excitement.
Although he wasn’t that amazing himself, it was enough that his brother was.
Having such an amazing brother meant that he was amazing as well, right?
The logic was flawless.
“Sis, do you see, could these glyphs be saying something?”
Inside the mountain belly, Crystal Lewis and her sister Mandy had cleaned the walls of the stone palace that were over thirty meters high and spanned a hundred meters for the past two days.
As the moss and dust were removed, the relief carvings on the walls became much clearer. Though color paint had long since fallen off due to age, they remained lifelike.
These reliefs, from left to right, seemed to depict the life of a woman.
From her early years entering the sect to embark on cultivation, growing up with fellow disciples, venturing down the mountain with a man by her side, and entering another world to “vanquish demons and slay monsters.”
The last of the reliefs depicted the sky covered by flames and the earth submerged by deep blue sea water; the sun and moon fell from the sky, ending on a doomsday scene.
Looking at the flames that scorched the sky in the final scene, Crystal slowly said, “Mandy, I feel like those flames seem… ‘alive.\'”
“Alive?” Mandy was slightly startled, her gaze unconsciously falling on the Tsunami below…
While everyone else made some gains, Howard Lambert encountered danger when he entered the ruins today.
Roar!
Along with a roar, a pile of broken stones from a building that had collapsed an unknown number of years ago suddenly exploded.
Amid the smoke and dust, a Void Creature appeared, five meters tall, donning relatively intact heavy armor and wielding a massive warhammer, radiating the presence of Level 6 Intermediate.
The Void Creature’s steps shattered the Earth, and in the blink of an eye, it charged at Howard, its warhammer sweeping across the air, creating explosive sonic booms.
Boom!
Caught off guard, Howard managed only to block the attack with a Steel Pillar in front of him, followed by a terrifying force that came like a mountainous Tsunami, causing his True Power to collapse.
Boom!
Under the immense force, the Steel Pillar smashed into Howard’s body, causing his extraordinary battle armor to collapse, and he himself was blasted away at supersonic speed, crashing heavily against a ruined City Wall a hundred meters away.
Bang! A section of the City Wall, tens of meters high and two zhang thick, instantly exploded and collapsed, its stones rolling down and burying Howard. But in the blink of an eye, the stone mill burst open.
Huff, huff!!
Howard’s breath was heavy, and blood flowed through the crevices of his battle armor. Looking at the distant Void Creature shrouded in black-purple fog, his eyes narrowed with seriousness.
This creature, which retained its fighting consciousness, was very strong—overwhelmingly strong and overbearing with power that contained the special attribute to burst through everything.
Besides, with the realm suppression, it almost injured him severely with just one move.
Roar! Seeing that Howard was not smashed to death by its hammer, the creature let out a furious roar and charged forward again, shattering the Earth with its heavy warhammer as it shot forward with thunderous momentum.
The sheer force of the creature was like a destructive tank; everything in its path, all foundations and ruins, was annihilated.
“Kill!”
Wounded, Howard became even more frenzied, his eyes blood-red, filled with endless demonic madness.
Boom!
With the Bull Devil Battle Body erupting, Howard swelled to nearly four meters, his body enveloped in red mist as he grabbed the five-meter-long Steel Pillar and roared as he charged forward.
Thump!
The Steel Pillar and the heavy warhammer collided, and an instant burst of pure strength erupted, shattering the Earth over tens of meters around them, sending a raging wind sweeping a hundred meters away.
With Red True Power shimmering on the half-meter thick Steel Pillar, it blocked the Black Power-encircled warhammer. Holding the Steel Pillar tight, Howard stared at the opposing creature as the ground beneath his feet crumbled continuously.
I must hold on; I’m Howard Lambert, with my Innate Divine Strength, invincible.
Under a strong resolve, Howard’s king-level bloodline further activated within him, and golden scales emerged on his skin. A more violent force erupted from within him.
Roar! Amid inhuman roars, Howard’s arms erupted with power, with a burst throwing the heavy hammer above his head away. Immediately after, the creature collided with him again.
Boom, boom, boom!! As the two battled wildly, the shockwaves from their fight utterly destroyed the surrounding buildings, fractured the Earth, and the wind howled.
Roar! A Level 6 Early Stage Creature was attracted by the life aura emitted by Howard and charged toward him with a furious roar, becoming a shadowy figure.
However, just as the creature got close, it was swiped by Howard, wielding the Steel Pillar shining with red power. The brutal force shattered the upper body of the creature with a single strike.
But the distraction caused by this Void Creature caused the Black Power-encircled heavy hammer to shoot forward with three afterimages like teleportation, appearing instantly before Howard’s chest.
