Avatar Body: Ancient Thunderflame Emperor Dragon…
His gaze swept across the data changes following the breakthrough, particularly the notes behind the Combat Divine Body, and Jack Clark revealed a satisfied smile on his face.
The base twelvefold amplification of True Strength outburst, far exceeded that of those at the Early Sevenfold Sky’s fivefold.
Although it is only a difference of seven times, at a high-order level, even a ten percent difference in burst strength is significant, let alone seven times.
Furthermore, the natural forces of Thunder and Golden Flame came as no surprise, while the additional strength, Defense, and speed essentially turned the Emperor Dragon Form into a normal state.
And this is just the foundation; as the concentration of the Combat Shadow increases later on, the empowering forces coming from rune talents will also grow.
There’s also the Fighting War Emperor Dragon Form, which provides even greater amplification than the Divine Emperor Dragon Form, and its consumption has changed from burning True Strength Qi Blood to Heavenly Energy.
With this change, Jack Clark would no longer be a three-minute man.
However, after the breakthrough to the Seventh Layer Heaven, Jack Clark didn’t immediately go out, instead, he consolidated his strength for two more days.
The closed-door cultivation lasted ten days in total, and when he emerged, it was already June 1st.
As the heavy doors of the Cultivation Room slowly opened, Cicely Rodgers, who had been waiting outside for a long time, only felt a terrifying Aura approaching.
The ground even trembled slightly under those heavy footsteps, as if what was approaching her wasn’t a person but a ferocious beast from ancient times.
However, noticing the shock on her face, Jack Clark thought for a moment and activated the Hidden Deity Glyphs, concealing the invisible oppressive Aura radiating from him.
Instantly, his whole demeanor changed, and he looked like a handsome and gentle college student.
Looking at Cicely Rodgers outside the door, Jack Clark asked, “Major Rodgers, do you have something for me, waiting here?”
Feeling the invisible Aura dissipate, Cicely Rodgers sighed with relief and then nodded: “Yes, Major Clark, I came to inform you that the arrival time of the ancient relics has been confirmed.”
Jack Clark raised an eyebrow: “When is it?”
“June 9th, and at that time, we will send a private jet to take you to the rendezvous point.”
“Please try to keep your communication open during the following period, Major Clark, so we can get in touch with you,” Cicely Rodgers added as a reminder.
She knew that once cultivators like him obtained Space Equipment such as the Sumeru Bracelet, they tended to store items inside, including their mobile phones that couldn’t receive messages once put away.
June 9th, huh? Still have time for a trip back home. Jack Clark thought.
“Right, Major Clark, Miss Ward sent a box over two days ago as a gift for you, but you were in closed-door cultivation,”
As she spoke, Cicely Rodgers handed over to Jack Clark an ordinary-looking wooden box that was thirty centimeters long and wide.
“Besides, Miss Ward also said that if you emerge before twelve o’clock on the first, she wanted to know if you would be willing to accompany her to the North District Creation Research Base.”
The Reincarnation Ceremony must be starting soon.
Before twelve o’clock, North District Creation Research Base. Jack Clark glanced at the sun nearing its zenith and his figure instantly turned into a blur as he dashed out of the Military Base.
Although they had met because of a mission, over a month of interaction had seen their relationship improve considerably, and they had become friends who could talk quite amicably.
In such a case, Jack Clark felt compelled to see her off no matter what.
The Military Base where Jack Clark was located was several dozen kilometers from the city district. Additionally, crossing from the south to the north of the city amounted to roughly seventy kilometers in total.
But for Jack Clark, this distance was nothing at supersonic speed, which he covered in just a few minutes without causing any sonic booms due to the envelopment of Heavenly Energy.
As he passed through the city district, however, many people were nearly knocked down by the raging wind.
Whoosh!
Appearing out of nowhere at the gates of the sprawling Creation Research Base, Jack Clark’s arrival caught the attention of two soldiers in the guardroom, who said solemnly, “Hello, you must register to enter the base.”
Jack Clark nodded slightly and swiped a black magnetic card on the machine outside.
Immediately, the screen inside the guardroom changed to display information about Jack Clark, with his full-body photo on the left, and on the right…
Name: Jack Clark
Rank: Major
“`

Access Level: 9
The information was simple, but that Level 9 access immediately sobered the two soldiers, who snapped to attention with a salute and politely said, “Major Clark, please enter.”
Jack Clark nodded slightly, “Thank you for the trouble.”
However, the security level here was very high,
After passing through four identity verification checkpoints, Jack Clark finally reached the heart of the research base: the central building. Inside the lobby, a few people were in conversation.
Ilisa Ward, Jessica, Crystal Boyce, and two middle-aged men whose auras were ordinary but who inexplicably exuded an indescribable nobility.
Today, Jack Clark was dressed in a grey leisure suit and wasn’t wearing sunglasses; even his facial features had reverted to their original state after using the Shapeshifting Liquid for the second time.
As a result, both Crystal Boyce and Jessica failed to recognize him at first glance.
But Ilisa Ward’s face lit up with a radiant smile, “Brother Callum, I thought you weren’t going to come.”
Jack Clark replied with a hint of regret, “I’m sorry, Miss Ward, my closed-door cultivation took a bit longer than expected. I’ve just emerged, but thankfully, I’m still in time.”
Surprised, Jessica next to him said, “Mr. Callum, no, Mr. Clark, so this is your true appearance. I almost didn’t recognize you just now.”
Jack Clark smiled lightly, “Previously, the mission required me to alter my appearance a bit.”
At that moment, Ilisa led over a burly, bearded middle-aged man and introduced him, “Dad, let me introduce you, this is Jack Clark, also known as Darren – the one who was previously disguised to protect me.”
“Brother Callum, this is my father, and this is Uncle Yeager, whose title is Denny Kaye.”
To Jack Clark’s surprise, he was actually meeting the Sky King Denny Kaye, whereas the presence of Mysterious Martial Sky King was within his expectations.
In the presence of two Heavenly King level individuals, Jack Clark politely said, “I’ve seen the Mysterious Martial Sky King, Sky King Denny Kaye.”
Mysterious Martial Sky King was hearty in nature. He clapped Jack Clark on the shoulder and laughed heartily, “Young man Jack, you did a good job protecting Miss Joseline before.”
“I’ve reviewed the mission data, and you performed very well, truly worthy of being one of the most monstrous geniuses of the new generation. You possess a bit of the flair I had in my younger years.”
The dapper-looking Sky King Denny Kaye, who resembled a scholar, spoke with an odd look in his eyes, “Mr. Winston, are you sure you were this outstanding at seventeen?”
“If I remember correctly, you started to make a name for yourself at twenty-something, and by that time, I was already at the Nine Layers.”
The smile on Mysterious Martial Sky King’s face stiffened as he coughed awkwardly, “Close enough, close enough.”
Further conversation was cut off as the elevator in the distance opened.
A young man with dazzling golden short hair emerged, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Reincarnation Cabin and the accompanying ceremony are all prepared; we should soon begin.”
The atmosphere suddenly quieted.
The Mysterious Martial Sky King, previously all smiles, became somber in an instant, clenching his fists slightly. A faint Terrifying Aura even began to emanate from him.
Clearly, even this peak-level strong man was somewhat distressed when it came to the life and death of his youngest daughter.
Ilisa Ward, holding back her father’s hand with a smile, said reassuringly, “Dad, don’t worry, the success rate has now reached 30%, which is quite high, isn’t it?”
“Maybe I’ll awaken after a while.”
The Mysterious Martial Sky King, with a deep and firm voice, believed, “I trust that you will awaken.”
“Yes, I will awaken.” Saying this, Ilisa Ward turned to Jack Clark with a bright smile, her gaze as bright as ever, showing no trace of fear or dread at the prospect of death.
Taking the elevator, the group descended hundreds of meters below the base.
They arrived at a vast white hall, in the center of which stood a silver hibernation chamber, five meters long, three meters wide, with an overall design full of sci-fi aesthetics.
Inside the hibernation chamber, where someone would lie, flowed the Purple Life Essence that Jack Clark had once provided, following certain runes and forming a purple ‘dragon’ shape.
Beyond that, Jack Clark sensed many other strong ‘materials’ inside it.
The floor, three walls, and ceiling of the vast white hall were also inscribed with countless patterns, resembling ‘angels’, ‘Dragon Men’, and many other strange races and creatures.
All these creatures faced forward, kneeling in prayer, while at the end of the room lay pitch darkness, like a Void Rift that devoured everything.
It was both sacred and mysterious.
At that moment, the girl turned and said with a bright smile, “Goodbye everyone, I’m going to sleep.”
