Chapter 678: Chapter 306: A Lone Rider Leaves All Behind, Explosively Defeats the King-Level Competitor_2
Two sources of white light slowly descended above his head, one from passing the first stage of the trial, and the other was feedback from exceeding a Purple Kill Value of 20,000.
Boom!
White fierce winds howled around Balderas as his form rapidly expanded and transformed into a twenty-meter-tall Human-shaped White Tiger, with a powerful aura spreading all around him.
The white battle armor he wore also expanded correspondingly, including the Transcendent leather made from Giant Beast hides underneath it, which also grew immensely.
Expanding training attire that could stretch and enlarge was quite popular in Berlin; almost every cultivator above the Fourth Layer Heaven had at least one set.
Otherwise, these genetic warriors would have to bust out of their clothes every time they went through a half-beast transformation.
In his full Beast Transformation form, Balderas charged into the Road to Godhood with his Purple Kill Value also exceeding 50,000, appearing 1,100 meters away, side by side with Eddy Keller.
Above his head, two streams of Origin also descended slowly.
After the two stepped onto the Inheritance Path, dozens of figures exuding mid and late-stage Sixth Layer auras moved, transforming into streaks of light that surged forward.
Each released a Purple Kill Value over 20,000, and upon entering the Road to Godhood, they appeared between 700 and 1,000 meters away, drawing down a stream of Origin upon them.
These were the ‘veteran’ geniuses who entered the relics with a low profile, having graduated one or two years earlier.
As high-level experts who joined the military for one or two years of training, compared to geniuses still in school, they had trained longer and achieved higher cultivation levels.
With advantages in Secret Skills, battle armor, and Transcendent Weapons, upon entering the relics they basically occupied most of the spots in the Top 50 of the Purple Kill leaderboard.
Only some monsters could surpass them, such as Jack Clark who stepped into the Seventh Layer, Balderas, Damon Lopes, and others.
No, beside Balderas stood a blonde young man, Bruce from Berlin, who maintained a low presence after entering the relics, but his Purple Kill Value had always been in the top five.
Above his head, two streams of Origin also descended.
“Junior Aiken, let’s go in too.”
“Okay.”
Gabriella, piloting her Mecha, and Jane Aiken also stepped onto the Road to Becoming a God. Their Purple Killing Energy was triggered, appearing at 700 and over 800 meters respectively.
Because they went into closed-door cultivation and upgraded their Mechas shortly after entering the relics, Jane Aiken’s Purple Kill Value was only a little over 22,000, and Gabriella, formerly number one, had just barely reached 30,000.
Soon, one figure after another rushed into the Road to Godhood, including Howard Lambert and the low-key genius, Carol Koch.
Especially Carol Koch appeared over 500 meters away, and the Purple Killing Energy gathering around him fell just short of earning an Origin reward, which was a pity.
Compared to Carney Turner, the top Second Grade talent from the Southern Battlefield, Howard Lambert with the Steel Pillar was only at just over 200 meters.
Suddenly, Mandy Lewis exclaimed, “Look, Jane Aiken is moving, so fast!”
After everyone stepped onto the Road to Godhood, all that the outside world saw were projections, standing motionless atop clouds that seemed to coalesce from white mist.
Just then, Jane Aiken’s figure suddenly moved, flashing to over 800 meters away in a few blinks of an eye.
At the same time, projections of Eddy Keller, Balderas, and others also began to change.
The sky was enveloped by dark clouds, the earth cracked, magma flowed, and in this Doomsday World, Jack Clark stood on a hillside, feeling the Origin that had disappeared inside his body.
This power was very special; after entering his body, it merged with his soul.
Because of his cultivation of the Illusion Meditation Scripture, Jack could vaguely sense that the eight streams of Origin were now ‘lurking’ deep within his soul.
However, this Origin power was on too high a level, currently beyond his reach.
What’s more important was that this Origin seemed to involve the soul, unlike the ancient aura that merged deep within the body and carried an ancient and desolate essence which the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon acquired.
“One involves the soul’s Transformation, and the other involves the body’s ancestral return, right?” Jack pondered.
Initially, when he heard that the World Origin was a special power necessary for humans to break through to king-level and could only be condensed in the mythical world, Jack had always thought that Origin was just the ancient aura.
After all, both human experts and giant beasts needed these special powers for evolution.
It turned out they weren’t the same.
Regardless, obtaining eight streams of Origin right from the start could be considered a great kick-off; now all that was left was to charge through everything.
With this in mind, Jack couldn’t help but look forward.
There in the distance stood a three-meter-tall middle-aged man dressed in grey training attire, wielding a five-meter-long combat knife and standing firm above the Scorching Magma, with an invisible but heavy Aura emanating from him.
This middle-aged man was a projection of a king-level expert, and currently, the cultivation aura he was emitting was also at the mid-stage of the seventh realm, just like Jack’s.
Between the two floated three one-meter-tall red runes, with tens of thousands of Rune Sequence Chains slowly revolving within them, seemingly revealing some cosmic truth to Jack.
“My Inheritance challenge is of the fighting kind, isn’t it?” Jack said slowly, his gaze fixed on the three sealing runes.
According to what Marcellus Larry said, one must comprehend these sealing runes within half an hour, or they will merge into the King’s Projection, each amplifying its strength by double.
But after only a few glances, Jack shook his head with a sigh, “As expected, comprehension and I are not meant to be; let’s just fight our way through.”
Those three runes enlarged, effectively laying their mysteries bare before Jack, who was confident that with half a day’s time, he could comprehend them with his talent for rune understanding.
The problem was, the challenge required it to be done in half an hour.
As for entering an epiphany state to quickly understand them, Jack thought it over and then gave up.
These three runes were just ordinary fire talent class, not worth burning attribute points on right now. Quality steel must be used on the edge of the blade, like in the third stage.
