Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast - Chapter 417:

Chapter 417: Chapter 216: The Decaying Body of the Ninth Heavens, Soul Exhaustion

Translator: 549690339

The once magnificent Great Heavenly Ghoul Shrine had become ruins, the earth shattered, the buildings in flames.

In a crater over ten meters in diameter, Jack Clark stood with golden flames burning on his body, his expression stern, his Divine Might permeating as circles of white waves rolled around him, his aura terrifying.

It was as if the figure standing there was not a person, but a Divine Might Giant Beast.

The oppressive aura was so intense that Janice Bland, standing some distance away with a samurai sword in her hand, trembled slightly, her expression one of shock.

Although the records mentioned that this man named Darren Callum came from the Eastern Summer military and possessed high talent, being at the Early Sixth Heaven stage at a young age.

But was this really the Early Sixth Heaven stage?

That overbearing and extreme strength directly killed Geoffrey Yamaki with one punch, even though he had transformed into what was called a ghoul form. Deservedly so for the Eastern Summer Empire, too strong!

Just two geniuses under twenty years old possessing such terrifying combat power.

While Janice Bland felt an inexplicable shock in her heart, behind her, Mathilda Ward, whom she was protecting, was calm.

At this time, on the opposite side of the crater, Damon Lopes spoke with some annoyance, “Brother Callum, next time could you leave a monster for me? I haven’t even started fighting.”

The flames on Jack Clark’s body slowly extinguished, his Divine Aura retracting, “I had no choice. It wanted to grab Miss Ward to break through the encirclement; in that situation, I could only punch it to death.”

In fact, Geoffrey Yamaki’s choice was very normal.

Having his hidden identity exposed and attempting to silence the witnesses, he realized that Damon Lopes, who wielded the power of thunder and was at the Middle Stage of Sixth Heaven, was terrifyingly strong. So, he was easily suppressed by a casual strike.

In such circumstances, to survive, the best option naturally was to capture Mathilda Ward as a hostage.

After all, the person in front of him, Janice Bland, was just a Late Fourth Layer Heaven cultivator, and Jack Clark, who had punched his son to death, exuded only an Early Sixth Heaven aura.

Even though this man’s combat power was strong, having killed his Fifth Layer Heaven early stage son with a punch, such genius should have its limits.

At least, in Geoffrey Yamaki’s understanding, he had never encountered anyone whose strength could cross a Major Realm while being at the later stages of Sixth Heaven; being able to cross a minor realm was already deemed a genius.

But unexpectedly, this time, he kicked two super alloy steel plates.

Looking at the shattered corpse of Geoffrey Yamaki at the bottom of the pit, Damon Lopes mused, “Judging by his transformed appearance, he should have fused with the genes of a member of the Talos War demon clan from The Purgatory Family.”

“It’s just strange. Where did they get the Essence Blood and genes of the Talos War demon clan?”

At this moment, Janice Bland walked over, also puzzled, “That is indeed a bit strange.”

According to the records, although this family is a cultivation family and has a few cultivators, they don’t have permission to enter the mythical world, nor do they own a company.”

“Over the years, the people of the Yamaki Family have mostly kept a low profile, only occasionally attending banquets in the East Capital’s business and political circles.”

“The problem should lie within that statue. Once we smash it open and take a look, we’ll know for sure,” said Jack Clark as golden light flowed through his hands and he casually swung his arm.

Boom!

In an instant, a three-meter long crescent of golden sword energy roared out, crossing over thirty meters and landing on the partially collapsed temple, striking the broken Great Demon God statue.

Crash!

Under the sword energy infused with explosive properties, the five-meter tall statue shattered and exploded as if it had been hit head-on by a rocket.

Once a cultivator reaches the Late Fourth Layer Heaven, they can project sword and blade Qi. However, only after reaching the latter stages of Fifth Layer Heaven does the power externally projected take on a qualitative leap. The external projection power of Sixth Heaven’s True Strength is even more overbearing.

However, Jack Clark rarely utilized this type of True Strength projection attack because it’s easy for enemies to dodge, and it lacks the close-range killing and destructive power of the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd.

After all, his greatest advantage has always been his formidable physical strength.

At that moment, amidst the flying debris and raging winds, a gigantic withered arm flew out, landing on the ground and instantly creating a five-meter wide crater.

The arm, over two meters long and covered in black scales, had a palm that was sharp like a ghastly claw, and it was wrapped in strands of black Aura that emanated terrifying pressure.

That pressure was so formidable that even Jack Clark’s face changed, “Such a strong presence, Eighth Layer Heaven, no, this is the arm of a Ninth Heaven Purgatory Demon.”

Damon Lopes nodded gravely, “It should be the arm of a Ninth Heaven Demon Clan. Even after being severed for decades, the aura remains undispersed, wrapped in Demon Power.”

“No wonder when I came in earlier, I felt the Heavenly Energy here was more active than the surrounding area, and the concentration was somewhat higher than other places.”

“Initially, I thought it was due to the surrounding trees, but now it seems there must have been a Rift Channel here at some point, and this Demon Clan arm likely appeared then.”

This must be the Yamaki Clan’s source of Demon Clan Essence Blood and genes, originating from a demon’s severed arm.”

Of course, these were Damon Lopes’s speculations, and tracing the origins and piecing together the clues would naturally be something for the Special Service Department to investigate.

But Jack Clark felt it was more or less accurate, and it fit very well with the habits of this family over the years.

For example, finding a Demon Clan severed arm several decades ago and choosing to secretly keep it hidden. Then, in their greed for power, they studied it privately, refining the blood to infuse it in their bodies to alter their bloodline and physique.

You should know that several decades ago, existences at the level of Nine Layers were considered Supreme. At a time when king-level beings were scarce, the Yamaki Family’s choice was quite normal.

However, they did not anticipate that the era would develop so swiftly.

Afterwards, Human Race King-level powerhouses began emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain.
