Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

With the phantom’s emergence, the energy from heaven and earth gathered and swirled around, whipping up winds that howled with an awe-inspiring force.

However, unlike the solid-seeming true martial arts phantoms of Vernon Lowe and Hannah Gail, the phantom behind Jack appeared rather ethereal, for it was merely a projection of will.

The reason was a lack of cultivation, missing just one step.

Feeling the Combat Shadow standing firm between heaven and earth in his Sea of Consciousness, and the True Dragon Power within his body that had thickened several times over, reaching the late stages of the Sixth Heavenly Stage, Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly.

With the Rune Illusions in his Sea of Consciousness successfully condensed, the only thing left was for his cultivation realm to reach the peak of the Sixth Heavens, for his True Strength to form a flame that burned brightly, and for his spirit, qi, and essence to unify and step out the final stride.

Jack had been mentally prepared for this outcome.

That’s because the core of the Seventh Layer Cultivation Method is the True Martial Phantom, mainly focusing on using the Power of Will to condense the True Body, without any specific techniques for cultivating True Strength.

Or to put it another way, the path of True Strength cultivation ends at the Sixth Heavens.

The path of cultivation after the Seventh Layer Heaven is to condense the True Martial Phantom, turn the intangible into tangible, gather the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body, and ultimately break through to the Eight Layer, reshaping the physical body.

Therefore, the energy from this attribute enhancement was almost entirely consumed on the Rune Illusions, and the advancement in cultivation realm was incidentally accompanied, as it happened due to enlightenment.

Similar to when Jane Aiken condensed her Sword Intent and experienced a surge in cultivation as she came to an epiphany.

Leveraging this enhancement and enlightenment, Jack’s cultivation realm took a huge leap forward to the late period of the Sixth Heavenly Stage and was exceedingly close to the peak.

Furthermore, since he had already condensed the Rune Illusions, in the situation where he was gathering a large amount of energy from heaven and earth, Jack’s cultivation speed was actually not much different from a Seven Layer Heaven Cultivator.

He estimated that in no more than ten days, he would be able to reach the peak of the Sixth Heavens.

In addition, while Jack had not stepped into the Seventh Layer in one go this time, he already possessed some of the mystical abilities of a high-rank Seven Layer Heaven Cultivator.

Under the manifestation of the will projection, he could still gather the Power of Heaven and Earth to bolster his True Dragon Power, enhancing its destructive power by several times.

Given the considerable strength of Jack’s condensed Combat Divine Body, once he steps into the Seventh Layer, the True Martial Phantom would at least enhance the basic amplification of True Dragon Power by more than a dozen times.

That is far beyond the standard five-fold increase of the True Martial Phantom for ordinary Seven Layer Heaven Cultivators.

Thinking this, Jack’s thoughts moved and he summoned the attribute page, his gaze falling on the remark behind the cultivation method.

Cultivation Method: Combat Divine Body: Halberd [Seventh Layer, True Martial Phantom (incomplete), external projection can gather energy from heaven and earth, and can increase the power of True Dragon Power five times]

When the breakthrough aura subsided, daylight had already brightened the sky. Jack reined in his aura and walked calmly down from the rooftop, washed up a bit, and then went to the private dining room on the nineteenth floor.

Then he saw Damon Lopes looking at him with eyes one might use to behold a monster.

“Uh… Mr. Lopes, why are you looking at me like that? Aren’t you chatting with your beautiful female friends today?”

Every morning at breakfast, Damon Lopes was always chatting animatedly with his beauties while eating, a habit to which Jack and Mathilda Ward and the others had become accustomed.

After Jack spoke, Damon Lopes replied with a sigh, “No more chatting, it’s meaningless. Now, in my eyes, beauties are but skeletons in makeup, a pile of bones and flesh, all is illusion.”

“You’ve had another epiphany?” Jack asked, his gaze odd.

Damon Lopes nodded with a transcendent air: “Indeed, I have had an epiphany.”

“You deserve praise, Mr. Lopes, for having yet another epiphany,” Jack admired.

As for what exactly Damon Lopes realized, only he knew. Anyway, Jack did not believe he would give up on those beautiful female friends.

At this moment, the large screen on the wall nearby was broadcasting the morning news from Mason City. The scene switched to a martial arts arena.

A bearded young man stood on the arena, fielding inquiries from numerous reporters.

Behind him lay a shattered arena and a heavily injured middle-aged man.

“Hello, everyone, I am the host, Xiao Xi.”

I am currently over three hundred kilometers away from Mason City, right behind me is the arena of the Blood Tiger Martial Arts Hall.”

“Just now, early in the morning, Mr. Clyde once again updated his record of victory by defeating the main strong man of the second largest martial arts hall in Gunaer with a single move.”

It is said that this strong man named Dennings has almost reached the middle stage of the seventh realm, who once turned into a full beast and blasted a hundred-meter building with a single punch, quite terrifying.”

Yet such a strong man couldn’t even take one strike from Mr. Clyde, who is of the Sixth Layer cultivation. It’s incredibly fearsome.”

“With such monstrous talent, even in the three major empires, it is very rare.

Next, he plans to challenge Darren Callum in Mason City, and no one knows which of the two Sixth Layer fighters is stronger.”

“I’m sure everyone in front of the TV has the same question. You can text us or log on to the television station’s live platform to leave a comment below and discuss this topic with me.”

At this moment, a reporter called out to Clyde from behind the host.

“Mr. Clyde, are you planning to head straight to Mason to challenge Darren next?”

The bearded young man, his gaze sharp, coldly said, “No, something occurred to me during the last fight, so I will enter closed-door cultivation for a few days to make a breakthrough to the Seventh Layer.”

Immediately, the scene was abuzz.

“A breakthrough to the Seventh Layer!”

“My God, he’s not even twenty years old yet, and he’s already on the verge of breaking through to the Seventh Layer.”

“Such terrifying talent, if he breaks through to the Seventh Layer this time, will Darren still be a match for him?”

Suddenly, the reporters on the scene were greatly excited, for they now had a fresh scoop to report.
