Chapter 641: 292: Embracing Death, Birth of Life, Gabriella: Jack Clark Save Me (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2
Boom! Howard Lambert was once again sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through over a dozen foundation walls before finally rolling over a dozen times upon hitting the ground with a loud thud.
At this moment, Howard’s body was covered in blood, with multiple muscles burst and his battle armor shattered.
But with a slight push of his palm against the ground, Howard stood up again, his body shrouded in a thick fog of blood, his face smeared in it, looking like a monster driven mad by frenzy.
“It’s not enough, not yet. I still have one more battle to fight with him; how could I possibly die here today?”
Thinking of Jack Clark’s increasingly distant back, and the battle he had promised with that guy, Howard felt overwhelmed by a strong will to survive and an unwillingness to give up.
How could he die here?
He was Howard Lambert, the man destined to be invincible, who had promised a battle with that fellow destined to become a god.
Under the powerful obsession of self-suggestion, the King-level bloodline power, which had already become one with Howard and strengthened numerous times, was stimulated even more thoroughly.
Roar! An even more savage and demon-like aura burst from Howard, with a mist of blood spreading around him, forming the ghostly shape of a creature resembling both a Furious Ape and a Bull Demon behind him.
At the same time, Howard, who was close to breaking into the Late-Stage Fifth Layer Heaven, experienced a surge in aura and successfully broke through to the late period of the Fifth Layer Heaven.
Boom! With his Cultivation Methods advancing further, Howard roared, swinging a Steel Pillar thick as a column, and blasted forward to battle with the mighty Hammer-wielding War General.
Boom, boom, boom!! After more than ten minutes, accompanied by the explosion of the War General’s head, his massive body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Next to the monster’s corpse, the 4-meter-tall Howard was shrouded in a red mist of blood, his battle armor in tatters, carrying a 5-meter-long Steel Pillar, emanating a woeful aura.
“This guy fights by putting himself in mortal danger and then survives by breaking past his body’s limits; it’s a wicked path. One day he could be killed by some minor creature, and no one would even know.”
Saying this, Jack Clark made a grasping motion with his right hand, and from several meters away, he grabbed the head of a Level 6 Void Monster and gently squeezed.
Bang! The monster’s head exploded, and its body fell to the ground with a loud thud, its stinking blood gushing out onto the ground, where the purple-black fog began to condense.
From a high-altitude vantage point, one could see the bodies of over a dozen monsters lying within a range of several kilometers.
At this time, Howard, who was at a distance, spurted out a large amount of blood, his size rapidly shrinking back to 2.5 meters before he collapsed to the ground with a thump.
Simultaneously, his extraordinary battle armor, no longer activated by True Strength, also shrank.
After falling to the ground, the gravely weakened Howard gathered the last of his strength to conceal his aura, gasping for breath and carefully sensing his surroundings.
He was in a state of weakness, so frail that any monster could have killed him.
However, if he could just survive the time it took for his Bull Devil Battle Body’s regenerative power to kick in, his injuries would rapidly heal, and his body would reconstitute itself to recover 30% of his strength.
Fortunately, in the half-hour of Howard’s tense waiting, the surroundings remained eerily quiet, with not a single Polluted Monster in sight.
Phew! In Howard’s body, a surge of powerful Life Energy erupted, under which his shattered muscles and fractured bones healed at an astonishing speed.
In just over ten minutes, Howard’s external injuries had almost completely healed, although his vital energy had been severely drained.
Boom! Suddenly, a sonic boom roared from the distance, immediately causing Howard to startle, roll over, and stand up, bracing the heavy Steel Pillar as he scanned his surroundings.
Once Howard had regained some strength, Jack Clark resumed his own brand of frenzied slaughter.
Today, he was still within a 400 kilometers range of the ruins, venturing only a few dozen kilometers deeper than yesterday.
Within this range, the Polluted Monsters were mainly Level 6, with a minority of Level 7 creatures, which Jack found as easy to kill as whack-a-mole, one halberd strike each.
Venturing deeper into the 500-600 kilometers range, where he might encounter Level 8 Polluted Creatures, just wasn’t worth it.
Today, whenever Jack came across any ruinous structures, he would pause, extend his senses, and pay attention for any items emitting special fluctuations.
Whether it was because of practicing the Illusion Meditation Scripture, or because the Blade of Void Cutting Rune had absorbed more soul energy and become more potent, Jack found his perception even keener today.
This intuitive sensing allowed him to detect Polluted Monsters within a certain range the moment they appeared.
Roar! From the deep fissures in the Earth, a forty-meter-long Scaleless Black Python with a pair of deformed wings and the aura of a Level 7 Early Stage Creature emerged roaring.
But just as the head of this Level 7 Pollution Beast burst through the fissure, a ten-meter-long Golden Halberd Radiance appeared above its head, and upon contact, a dazzling light exploded.
Boom! On the Earth’s surface, a golden firelight with a diameter of several tens of meters exploded, causing half of the cliff to collapse under the Destructive Impact, while the upper body of the Polluted Beast was directly blasted into fragments.
Soon after, amid the spreading smoke and dust of the fissure, the Purple Killing Energy converged into a purple-black snake rushing towards Jack, passing through his palm, and blending with the swirling Killing Intent.
“That guy is on a killing spree again today.”
Witnessing the sonic booms and streaks of light crossing the Earth from afar, Simon the Genius inside the 20-meter-tall Mecha looked on in amazement.
Anyone venturing 300 to 400 kilometers into this area was generally a Top-notch Genius of the Sixth Layer Heaven.
Even so, these individuals were extremely cautious, dodging one perilous creature after another, focusing on exploring relics rather than fighting.
There was no help for it; once here, the monsters were at least sixth level or higher, with many at level seven, and an unlucky encounter with a creature mid-stage of the seventh realm or above could mean death.
With their power, they might be able to take down one or two Level 7 Early Stage Creatures by expending all their trump cards, but what then?
