Chapter 651: Chapter 296: Battle Emperor Dragon, Thunder Guardian

Morning.

As the Sky Element Stone in Jack Clark’s hand turned to powder, his cultivation smoothly broke through to the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer Heaven, his aura instantly surging dramatically.

Under the suddenly escalating formidable pressure, the surrounding air exploded, forming a ring-shaped white wave that set off a raging wind that shot out more than ten meters away.

The noise from the breakthrough startled Jane Aiken, who had been seated with legs crossed in the distance. She opened her eyes, which were swirling with Sword Intent, and looked towards Jack Clark with a touch of surprise in her gaze.

“Seventh Layer, mid-period!”

Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes, which contained a faintly ferocious Dragon Might and an oppressing look. He gave a slight nod upon hearing her, “Mhm, I’ve broken through.”

“So strong!” Jane Aiken exclaimed in admiration.

She had asked Jack before and knew that he broke through to the Seventh Layer on June 1st. That is to say, in less than half a month, he had already advanced to the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer Heaven.

Even in the higher echelons, such a horrifying pace of improvement exerted a lot of pressure, even on Jane Aiken.

Because she could enter the epiphany state at any time, her cultivation speed was ten to twenty times faster than that of other cultivators, and when faced with bottlenecks, she could also use Sword Intent to break through.

But even she wasn’t confident about advancing a minor realm every half month after reaching the Seventh Heaven.

At this time, Jack Clark’s gaze fell on the transparent page in front of him.

Cultivation Method: Combat Divine Body: Halberd [Seventh Layer, Combat Shadow 30%: When externally manifested, it gathers Heavenly Energy and releases True Dragon Power with a fourteen-fold amplification.

Grants even more powerful Thunder and is augmented by the element of Golden Flame.

Receives a sevenfold increase in strength, sevenfold defense, and triples the enhancement of speed.]

With the Combat Shadow materializing to thirty percent and following the breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Seventh Layer Heaven, the Talent Rune gave Jack Clark an even greater boost in all aspects.

At his current level of strength, any increase was astonishing, let alone a doubling of his power.

At this time, the door of the distant Mecha pod opened, and Gabriella, clad in a white silk nightgown, crawled out, yawned, and said lazily, “Good morning, you two.”>

Noticing the nightgown she was wearing, even Jack Clark’s eyes revealed surprise… To think she was wearing a nightgown to sleep in this place, was she that particular?

And then, considering the delicate pastries she took out from the Sumeru Bracelet yesterday, Jack Clark couldn’t shake the feeling that she wasn’t exploring ruins, but rather that a noble girl was out on a picnic.

Fortunately, nothing strange happened next.

After the three of them quickly finished the pastry breakfast Gabriella prepared, the girl entered the Mecha and changed into a set of blue maintenance worker clothes.

“I’m not going into the ruins today. I plan to upgrade the Mecha and make a breakthrough to the Seventh Layer Heaven.”

The girl with her high ponytail blinked her eyes curiously, “Upgrade the Mecha, how do you upgrade it?”

Gabriella adjusted the blue hat on her head and explained, “Actually, our breakthrough process as martial machine cultivators is not much different from yours; the core is the same.”

“The only difference is that our true martial arts phantom is engraved on the Mecha in a matrix pattern, which can normally be disassembled into panels for recombination.”

“And with each realm breakthrough, it’s a chance to add new weapons and templates, an occasion for upgrading.”

“However, everyone has different carrying capacities, the Cultivation Methods and Mechas are different too, so there is a limit to the weapons and talent functions that can ultimately be loaded.”

With Gabriella’s introduction, Jane Aiken gained some understanding of the martial machine cultivator’s high-order breakthrough process.

Jane Aiken looked towards Jack Clark, “My Purple Kill Value has long been sufficient, so today I plan to roam around within a 300-kilometer range to see if I can find anything else of value.”

“If there’s still nothing, I’ll prepare for closed-door cultivation until the Road to Becoming a God appears.”

Jack Clark slowly said, “I plan to slay some more polluted monsters to hone my Combat Techniques.”

However, neither Jane Aiken nor Gabriella entirely believed his words. Hone Combat Techniques by slaying a thousand or two thousand senior or high-order monsters in one day?

After the two left, Gabriella released octopus robots, a couple of engineering robots, and many colossal weapon parts from the subspace bracelets on her right arm.

A martial machine cultivator’s breakthrough to the Seventh Layer Heaven is a sublimation, and during the Heaven and Earth Resonance, the incomplete Talent Runes in the material melted from the Giant Beast’s skeleton will be activated.

These Talent Abilities had been determined when melded into the Mecha, forming a part of a massive matrix puzzle. While breaking through to the Seventh Layer, they would integrate into one whole.

Gabriella had completed the design of the true martial matrix before entering the relic, including the Mecha and weapon modules which were pushed to the limit; only the Magma Core was needed for the breakthrough of the eternal power furnace.

Not just Gabriella and Jack Clark, but as the fifth day in the relic rolled on, many others also gained a lot.

For instance, Justin Welan finally dug out the huge Dragon Turtle Statue, which carried the broken stele on its back and measured over two hundred meters in length, over a hundred meters in width, and over a hundred meters in height, from the ground.

But standing on the edge of the big pit, Justin, covered in filth, looked at the massive statue somewhat bewilderingly.

Because it seemed that he… didn’t discover anything noteworthy.

Leaning on a shovel in his left hand, Justin scratched the back of his head, “Can it be? Grandpa Walton’s luck can’t be this bad, can it? Dig such a huge hole and find nothing at all?”

…

Under the dim sky, Jack Clark soared at supersonic speed straight into the 400-kilometer depths of the ruins before coming to a stop, his gaze turning towards the distance.

On a hundred-meter-high hillside, a humanoid monster, five meters tall, clad in armor and wielding a battle sword, sat cross-legged, surrounded by dense purple-black fog.

This Level 7 Peak Void Creature, upon seeing Jack Clark, did not roar and charge at him as other creatures did, but simply watched him quietly.
