Just as Justin Welan and the others were shocked by the ferocity and brutality of the King Blood Mutant Beast, Jack Clark had managed to swiftly strike it down within two moves.
Standing on the edge of the crater, Jack Clark seemed dashing, but he was actually trying hard to control the trembling of his legs, or else he would have ruined his cool image in that moment.
At the same time, Jack was also surprised by the power of the Elephant’s Fury Rune when activated this time.
During his breakthrough to the Fourth Layer Heaven, after absorbing the essence of high-order Dragon Blood, he gained the ability to “truly” manifest his physical strength, allowing it to merge with True Strength for greater combat power.
Furthermore, as his physique surpassed a thousand, his flesh became even more horrifying, embodying an overwhelming Qi Blood similar to giant beasts.
Therefore, when activating the Elephant’s Fury Rune and burning both Qi Blood and True Strength, the terrifying Blood Flame almost formed into a raging fire, unleashing a terrifying force capable of destroying everything.
Due to the terrifying burning Qi Blood, the amplified muscle strength burst out, exceeding the tenfold limit of the Elephant’s Fury Rune, reaching a frightening degree.
It wasn’t just eleven or twelve times more powerful but had reached a qualitative change.
Even with the combat power reaching the late Level 5 and possessing the King-level talent of the Blood Armored Beast King, Jack managed to kill the Beast King with just two halberd strikes.
However, whenever there’s something to gain, there’s something to lose. Due to the overwhelming burst that exceeded the limit of the rune, Jack couldn’t precisely control it, much like a mountain torrent that couldn’t be stopped once it erupted.
Only a few breaths left him with a severe loss of Qi Blood, with most of it being wasted in the raging Blood Flame.
Although he promptly deactivated the rune state when he discovered something was wrong, the depleted Qi Blood would need at least half a day to recover, and that was just with a few breaths of activation.
If it were to be like when he killed the Late Fourth Layer Heaven Blood Envoy before, burning for more than ten minutes, he might suffer a heavy injury afterward and be weakened for half a month.
Of course, Justin Welan and the others naturally wouldn’t know this.
“It’s finally over,” Justin Welan, who just let go of his heavy shield and sat on the ground panting, said amidst the pile of Level 3 Mutant Beasts.
Having been attacked head-on multiple times by various Mutated Scale-armored Beasts, even including a Level 4, he could barely stand it. After all, his True Strength had a limit.
Then, Mullen Weisz walked over, holding his waist and grinning in pain, “After breaking through the Four Layer Heaven, the first thing I’m going to do is to forge an extraordinary battle armor.”
At his waist, the solid Battle Armor Alloy had been twisted and deformed. If it weren’t for True Strength covering it at the time, it might have exploded directly.
Watching Jack Clark slaughter Level 3 and 4 Mutated Beasts like chickens might make it look easy, but that was because his combat power far exceeded theirs.
For Mullen Weisz and the others, who were also at Triplex Heaven, the power of each of these Mutated Beasts’ blows was immense. Even if they didn’t die, they would be severely injured if bitten by their terrifying mouths.
Marcus Lee and Zac Lyons walked over unsteadily.
Following them were Freya Louise, who held her sniper cannon that had accurately killed several Mutated Beasts, and White Veil, who had intercepted Scale-armored alien beasts from afar.
From the valley, Jack Clark, who had caught his breath, slowly approached Howard Lee. Despite his weakened Qi Blood, he still stood tall and straight. “How are you holding up?”
Howard Lee’s terrifyingly cracked wounds on his body had stopped bleeding, but they still looked fearsome. Hearing Jack’s words, he shook his head slightly, “I’m fine. It’s just an overconsumption of Qi Blood and shock to my Internal Organs. Nothing fatal.”
“Do you have any healing resources?” Jack asked.
Howard shook his head, his face full of madness, “No, or rather, I don’t need any healing right now. The characteristic of the Bull Devil Battle Body is that the more I fight, the stronger 1 become.”
“Especially, the heavier the injuries I receive during a battle, the greater the improvement to my Battle Body after recovering. This is the essence of the undaunted and mad Bull Devil Battle Body.”
Jack paused for a moment, not expecting that the Battle Body would be so crazy, “So… earlier, you deliberately clashed with the Blood Armored Beast King?”
Howard nodded.
“That’s right. However, this Mutant Beast King’s strength far surpasses the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape King, and in order to hold it back, I couldn’t dodge. So I chose to fight it all out.”
“Weren’t you afraid I’d be a little late and you’d die?” Jack shook his head at the thought of Howard, who was completely a madman.
Howard grinned, “Well, you came, didn’t you?”
“…You know, one day, you might just die in combat like this,” Jack said in a slightly silent tone.
Howard shook his head, unconcerned, “It doesn’t matter. When I first chose the Bull Devil Battle Body instead of the powerful Bull King Battle Body, I knew the outcome.”
“If you want to push your limits and pursue continuous improvement in combat abilities, you have to pay a price. It’s an unavoidable rule.”
No wonder Howard progressed so quickly; Jack couldn’t help but envy his relentless madness for the sake of advancing his strength.
Even though Jack himself was no stranger to taking risks, he was more cautious about it.
Because Howard Lee was severely injured and couldn’t exert any strength, the task of moving the bodies of the Mutated Beasts fell upon Jack Clark and the others.
In this eight-person team, although Freya Louise was also at the Triplex Heaven, her “strength” was another matter. Her trash cultivation method could only amplify her strength two times, and she couldn’t move even one Level 3 scale-armored alien beast.
So, she had to stand guard.
However, when they started moving the corpses, Marcus Lee and Mullen Weisz stood in front of the corpse of the Level 4 Mutated Beast with a blown-up head and marveled, “Jack Clark is getting more and more terrifying.”
Mullen Weisz nodded, “Seems like what Mr. Willard said was true. Jack has awakened some kind of physical talent.”
As friends who had cultivated to this point together, they had noticed Jack’s anomaly long ago.
His powerful flesh wasn’t something that could be cultivated through cultivation methods, even if the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body he practiced later was one of the strongest advanced cultivation methods—it just wasn’t enough..
