Chapter 649: Chapter 295: Invincible Below Myth, Mid-Stage of the Seventh Heaven

Night!
Under the glow of firelight, as Jack Clark began his cultivation, energy from hundreds of meters around surged towards him, transforming into a fierce wind that surrounded the area and bent the greenwood low.
From the moment he set foot on the path of cultivation to the present, Jack had spent almost all his time either cultivating or in battle, and it had been a long time since he had ‘slept.’
Although he was much stronger than he had been a few months ago, strong enough to shatter the Earth with a wave of his hand and cut rivers in two,
it still wasn’t enough.
As his strength grew, so did his contact with the Federation’s many secrets, and the sense of urgency within Jack’s heart only intensified.
An intense unease.
The Human Race’s top strong men were all stationed in the mythical world, the military’s main forces were in the mythical world, and large amounts of ammunition, weapons, and various resources produced every year were all sent to the mythical world.
Even most of the research power of various countries was invested in the research of military weapons, creating a gap of decades between military and civilian uses.
Is it that the officials don’t care about the people’s livelihood? No, they simply can’t afford to.
Using a straw to glimpse the big picture, although Jack hadn’t yet entered the mythical world, he vaguely felt that the situation there was very serious, and not as optimistic as one might imagine.
It was only to maintain stability in the rear, to secure weapons, ammunition, and fresh blood for the cultivators, that the society of Blue Star seemed peaceful right now.
There’s no choice, it couldn’t be otherwise, as ordinary people are too vulnerable before Transcendants.
Just one high-level cultivator could slaughter a million, indifferent to most heavy weaponry, and under such circumstances, strategies of overwhelming numbers were utterly useless.
Bringing that pressure ‘back home’ would only lead to global panic and chaos in the rear.
Therefore, Jack needed to make himself grow stronger quickly. Only with absolute strength could he face all crises—this was probably his last period of ‘calm.’
Whether it was his initial encounter with Koroya, or the Alien Beast Battlefield, or later joining the mission to hunt down the King’s Avatar, the level of danger was within the control of the officials.
The high-level threats had all been blocked by the Federal Top Level.
Including this expedition to the relic, any possible interference from the Evil God Sect or the Purgatory Demon Race had been suppressed cleanly in several previous clearings.
After eliminating the disturbances from the Outer World, the geniuses entering the relics only needed to gauge their own strength, with little danger otherwise.
For instance, if one’s strength was insufficient, they should explore the Oasis, or if average, just hang around the fringes of the ruins. The few who died had ventured deeper than their strength allowed.
While Jack’s true body worked hard, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon was doing the same.
With raging winds screaming above the sea surface and turbulent waves rolling, the black-red Colossal Beast standing on the reef rock, now grown to 165 meters, looked terrifying.
Sea waves clashing against its tail—over eighty meters long and several stories high when laid out flat, covered in scale armor and sharp spikes—were like waves smashing against the reef, sending up huge sprays of water.
Standing on the reef, the fearsome beast, like a ‘poet’ gazing into the distance, expressed contemplation in its eyes, “It seems it’s time to check out another sea area.”
In three days, it had nearly circled the territory conquered by Dragon Palace, devouring over a hundred Mutated Creatures of Level 6 and above, and more than a dozen of Level 7.
Under these conditions, its body had only grown by ten meters.
Because of several previous collective sweeps, the sea area ruled by Dragon Palace had actually been cleared of most marine life of Level 7 and 8.
As for those resources that had allowed it to grow quickly before, they were only effective until Level 8. Past Level 9, only a vast quantity could suffice.
For example, the Life Green Crystals found in the sea trench after slaying the Crustacean Giant Beasts accumulated over a month were not even enough to fill its teeth gaps, let alone be converted to Evolution value.
Thus it had to venture further out to sea, hunting Level 8 and 9 Giant Beasts to accelerate its growth.
Currently, with its strength unmatched under the mythical level, it did not fear any quasi-mythical beasts.
Even if it encountered those Level 9 Peak Giant Beasts with heaven-defying combat power on par with mythical creatures, under the Agility Talent it could leave whenever it wished.
However, before leaving, there were some matters to which it needed to attend back home.
…
Roar! Wife, you’ve become so beautiful.
In the Water and Fire World, within the sea, a Single-horned Tiger Kingfish, now over ninety meters in length and comparable to a warship in size, was visibly excited, its Double Fins slapping the water and generating waves over ten meters high.
Before the Tiger Whale, a Female Tiger Whale of over sixty meters in length floated calmly, its tranquil large eyes revealing a touch of excitement, for its breakthrough to level eight had brought significant improvement.
With assistance from the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, the female, which already possessed a trace of king-level bloodline, had fully activated its lineage and awakened Advanced Talent, causing its strength to surge.
Beyond that, its body had also undergone significant changes; its black scales were smooth and shining, while the white scales on its belly floated like clouds, epitomizing elegance and beauty.
The blunt head had become broader, and the dorsal and ventral fins as well as the tail had grown several times larger, endowed with a semblance of the majesty of a kūn.
Clearly, the bloodline awakened by the Female Tiger Whale was still evolving towards a kūn.
This new form of the Female Tiger Whale excited the Single-horned Tiger Kingfish, as it felt its wife had become beautiful and pretty post-evolution.
As the Single-horned Tiger Kingfish circled around its wife, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle inside the Ice Crystal Palace, stirred by the commotion, stuck out its head and cast a disdainful glance.
Lacking ambition, is a wife really worth all this fuss?
And in its opinion, the evolved Female Tiger Whale didn’t seem that much prettier. It didn’t have a single turtle shell, and its head couldn’t retract, which made it look rather ugly.
In the distance by the shore, the Blue Giant Crab, also awakened, had grown significantly larger, its carapace appearing even more solid and bristling with dense blue sharp spikes.
