No more? Jack Clark looked around in a daze.
At this point, his entire body was submerged in crimson blood. His Battle armor was covered with the flesh and blood of Mutated Creatures, and some places even had scratches left by claws.
After a night of relentless fighting, Jack’s True Strength was long exhausted, and in the end, he had to rely solely on his overpowering physical strength to wield his War Halberd.
By now, the entire mountain cliff was covered with the wreckage of Mutated Beast corpses, piled up, and the blood that flowed out almost formed a small river at the bottom of the hill, creating an overwhelming bloody scent.
The piled up corpses under Jack’s feet were dozens of meters high, forming a hellish scene with dense bones and flesh, which was horrifying.
Standing on top of a mountain of corpses and blood, Jack, who fought all night, exuded an alarming Killing Intent, like an invincible king.
As he watched the slowly rising sun on the horizon, a sense of unspeakable insight welled up in Jack’s heart, and an invisible aura gathered around him.
In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, the Dragon Elephant formed by his spirit’s willpower let out a roar, and a pure, overbearing, and invincible realm of thought was about to condense.
But…
Whew! Jack let out a slow breath, disappointment in his eyes: “Still not enough, just a little bit off.”
Just now, he almost condensed the undefeatable war intent, but unfortunately, in the end, due to insufficient foundation in Martial Arts, it failed to sublimate.
Eventually, that embryonic battle intent slowly merged into his body, waiting for the next time to fully erupt.
When Jack returned to the base, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
Dragging more than 20 meters of piled up, blood-soaked Mutated Beast corpses, Jack arrived at the Logistics Department warehouse, like a diligent ant.
Bang!
As Jack turned off the anti-gravity disks, a pile of Mutated Beast corpses tumbled onto the warehouse floor.
A 20-meter-long long-haired Furious Ape, a 10-meter-long Unicorn Beast, several Level 4 Mutated Creatures, and many bloody parts of Mutated Beasts.
Jack then pulled out more than a dozen various-sized Unicorn horns, huge sharp teeth, and sharp crystal-like tail stingers from his Sumeru Bracelet.
After a night of fierce fighting, most of the Mutated Beast corpses had been blasted by Jack, but some materials were still left behind.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Jack had discarded the corpse of the Level 3 Unique Beast and chosen some more valuable materials to take back instead.
“Oh! Student Clark, you seem to have been killing your way back here,” Koi Hawk sighed as he looked at the Mutated Beast corpses all over the ground and the lingering bloody scent on Jack.
Jack nodded: “It was alright. I killed a Level 5 Peak Mutated Beast deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. On the way back last night, I encountered a Mutated Creature riot and killed them all.”
Koi stifled a gasp and blurted out: “Mutated Creature riot, last night’s Blood Moon!”
“Blood Moon.” Jack looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Koi explained: “Blood Moon is a unique phenomenon in the Southern Variant Beast Battlefield. It occurs once a year, and there is no fixed time. It is said to be a projection of the Blood Moon in the mythical world.”
“Under the Blood Moon, all Mutated Creatures become more agitated and bloodthirsty. Once they smell blood, they go crazy.”
“…No wonder,” Jack was suddenly speechless. He had been wondering why the Mutated Creatures from last night were not afraid of dying but instead became more ferocious as they fought.
In the end, he was just unlucky.
Jack exhaled and politely said, “Please do me a favor, Mr. Hawk, and help me calculate how much is here.”
“It’s no trouble at all.”
Koi was very polite and called over two staff members to help. Soon, they had counted up the winnings from this battle.
The Level 5 Peak long-haired Furious Ape was worth 155 points. Initially, it was only valued at 145 points due to the severe damage to its chest, but the long hair on its body surface that interfered with space power slightly added 10 points.
Of course, without the innate ability of the Furious Ape to strengthen it, the hair is almost useless and needs to be collected and processed using a special method to be useful.
Aside from that, the Level 4 Unicorn Beast, whose horn had been destroyed, was worth only 50 points, along with various other materials and broken corpses.
All of this added up to 87 points, bringing the total to 292.
This haul was much more than Jack had expected. Originally, his plan was to kill a Level 4 Mutated Beast on the way back, pile it up with a Level 5 Mutated Beast, and bring it back.
The weight of one Level 4 and one Level 5 Mutated Beast, combined, would be close to reaching the Hundred-ton limit.
Even with anti-gravity disks to offset much of the weight, it would still be impossible for an ordinary cultivator to carry, let alone cross mountains and traverse one or two thousand kilometers.
Now, combined with the 33 points that Jack had saved up, he suddenly had a total of 325 points.
Jack also felt fortunate that he had been on the edge of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range last night. If he had gone any deeper, the overwhelming bloody scent might have attracted more powerful Level 6 or higher creatures.
At that point, even Jack couldn’t guarantee he could stand his ground.
Based on Jack’s estimation of himself, his normal combat strength should be at the Peak of Fifth Layer Heaven, and his Rune Burst would be comparable to the Early Stage of Sixth-level Heaven, which was considered strong among the early stages.
Not bad, around the Early Stage of Sixth-level Heaven.
Although at the Early Stage of Fourth Layer Heaven, his regular combat strength had reached the Late-Stage Fifth Layer Heaven, and his burst strength had been comparable to Fifth Layer Heaven Peak, sweeping through everything below the Sixth Layer Heaven.
But now, after breaking through the fifth layer of the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body and reaching the Late Fourth Layer Heaven, his combat power didn’t span as dramatically as it did during the Early Stage of Fourth Layer Heaven.
The reason is that the gap between each layer of True Martial Cultivation becomes larger the further along it is..
