Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Chapter 172: Space Sword Intent, Siege of Jack Clark

Translator: 549690339

Deep within the branch range of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, at the peak of a mountain.

At the edge of a towering cliff, fierce winds howled, and Jane Aiken in ordinary battle armor sat cross-legged with clear jade-like eyes, quietly watching ahead.

In front of her, the space just beyond the cliff seemed to twist like a transparent sheet of paper, black cracks appearing now and then, only to disappear as the space healed itself within the blink of an eye.

These black cracks varied in length, some only a few centimeters long while others over a meter, cutting through and severing everything in their path, including air!

As she observed the appearance and disappearance of these space cracks, the reflections of crumbling and vanishing space gradually surfaced in Jane Aiken’s eyes.

Before, when Jack Clark broke through the Fourth Layer Heaven, Sylvia Lyons and Lori Parma had mentioned that Jane Aiken comprehended Sword Intent during the Koroya Trial.

In the eyes of the school’s higher-ups, her enlightenment was even more exaggerated than her astonishing speed of cultivation talent.

Even Jack Clark, who had cultivated low-level Dragon Elephant Power to True Martial Divine Rhyme, reaching the theoretical limit of the original creator’s realm at the Third Layer Heaven, was considered inferior to her in terms of potential talent.

It wasn’t until Jack Clark, with average talent, was the first to break through the Fourth Layer Heaven that his talent potential evaluation in the school was on par with hers, just on par.

This demonstrates the terrifying aspect of enlightenment ‘talent’.

At this moment, observing the birth and demise of these space cracks, a terrifying sword intent gradually emanated from Jane Aiken, causing her long hair to sway without wind.

Within a yard radius around her, tiny cracks appeared on the hard rocks out of thin air, weeds silently shattered, and even the air kept making a sizzling sound.

The fierce mountain stream wind would suddenly disappear once it entered a few meters range of Jane Aiken.

No, not disappearing, but being torn apart and annihilated by the invisible sharp Sword Intent, just like the constantly appearing and disappearing space cracks, horrifying and terrifying.

Sword Intent is a kind of Power of Will, stronger than ordinary willpower, unparalleled in offense and defense. Even at the initial stage of comprehension, it can increase the power of Sword Qi by several times.

Whether cultivating Sword Skill or Blade Skill, those who comprehend Blade Intent and Sword Intent will see a great improvement in their combat power.

Under normal conditions, cultivators who wish to comprehend Sword Intent must first cultivate Advanced Combat Skills to the Great Realm, and then achieve an instant breakthrough with extreme faith and Martial Arts Realm.

One can imagine how difficult this is,

And how monstrous Jane Aiken must be for comprehending Sword Intent at the Third Layer Heaven.

Of course, the so-called difficulty is only for ordinary people; geniuses are always exceptions. Otherwise, if everyone were mediocre, there would be no such thing as genius.

At this moment, Jane Aiken had been sitting here for several days. After the original comprehension of the Illusion Extinguishing Sword Intent, she had a new enlightenment after observing the space rifts.

Suddenly, Jane Aiken’s right hand fingers closed together, and a one-meter-long white Sword Qi condensed at her fingertips, with Sword Intent flowing on it. She waved her hand casually.

Whoosh!

Where the Sword Qi passed, a pitch-black trace appeared in the air, and the residual sharp Sword Intent lingered for a while.

“Not quite right.”

Looking at the black trace of the true vacuum in front of her, Jane Aiken furrowed her eyebrows and dispersed the sharp Sword Qi in her hand that only had the appearance of power.

She continued to stare ahead, her clear and bright eyes reflecting the constantly appearing and disappearing black cracks, sinking into silence once more.

As she did, the sharp intent to cut through everything on her body became even more apparent and stronger.

As Jane Aiken entered an epiphany state, her True Strength circulated automatically inside her body, swallowing Heavenly Energy and becoming stronger at an astonishing speed as her aura grew increasingly powerful.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

In the forest, more than a dozen huge Mutated Beasts surrounded Jack Clark, bellowing furiously as if trying to intimidate him and snatch away their ‘food’.

These Mutated Beasts resembled rhinoceroses, covered in blue scale armor, with a thick horn on their heads, claws on their four hooves, and fanged teeth in their mouths.

Most of their body sizes were between five and six meters, three around eight meters, and the largest one was more than eighteen meters long without including its tail, making it a Level 4 Mutated Beast.

At this moment, these Mutated Beasts greedily eyed the corpse of the long-haired Violent Ape.

As a Level 5 Peak Mutated Beast, the smell of blood from the long-haired Violent Ape’s body drove them a little insane. Consuming the flesh and blood of this kind of Mutated Beast could accelerate their own Evolution.

This was also the reason why every time Jack Clark and his team dragged a Mutated Beast corpse back, even ordinary Mutated Creatures couldn’t help but attack.

Even the terrible pressure they felt from him, including the horrific death of the high-level Mutated Beast behind him, could not suppress the aggressiveness of these Mutated Creatures.

Because the desire to become stronger was their innate nature.

Of course, that had something to do with the certain confusion between human cultivators and Mutated Creatures.

In the fixed mindset of Mutated Creatures, larger size and strength were always directly proportional, the more terrifying their aura and domination.

But humans, these tiny creatures, weren’t even a mouthful to many Mutated Beasts in their eyes, nor did their True Strength emit energy fluctuations as ferocious and overbearing as Mutated Beasts.

So it gave those low-intelligence Mutated Beasts the illusion that they could be eaten.

However, there was a solution to this situation. The Logistics Department had an item called Grey Rock Tree Powder that could be exchanged for one point of contribution for a large bottle.

This Grey Rock Tree Powder was ground from tree bark and would emit a strong aroma to neutralize the smell of blood on Mutated Beasts, disturbing the olfactory senses of other Mutated Beasts.

Under normal conditions, cultivators returning from hunting would apply some of this powder, which could help them avoid a lot of trouble.

Even Justin Welan and the others had used it before, and it was only after they followed Jack Clark on their previous outing that they openly allowed the smell of Mutated Beast blood to spread..
