Chapter 698: Chapter 314 Rule-based Creatures, the Speaker Makes a Move (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Icy deep sea below, the sea water murky, mountain peaks collapsing.

The black-red colossal beast, one hundred and ninety-eight meters in length, stood upright, with burning golden flames on its body, destructive thunder leaping between the dorsal fins, exuding a terrifying might.

On the seabed two kilometers away, lay the corpse of a Level 9 Giant Beast, over one hundred and fifty meters long, its lethal wound a burnt black hollow five meters in diameter that penetrated through the skull.

This beast was the last Level 9 Giant Beast in the North Ice Sea Area, extremely cautious by nature.

Upon noticing that something was off in the North Ice Sea Area recently, it hid its presence and stayed concealed; the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon searched for almost two days before finding it.

In the midst of its escape, the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon caught up and unleashed a pulse breath enhanced by nine rings of thunder, piercing through the deep sea to blast the giant beast from behind.

At that time, in the dark waters behind, the Giant Beast Candle Dragon, over three hundred meters long, appeared, and gazing at the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon who had been standing motionless for a long time, it let out a slow growl.

“King, what’s, wrong, with, you?”

The golden vertical pupils of the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon flickered slightly, and coming back to its senses, it let out a low growl, “Nothing, I was just pondering the beastly life.”

Pondering the beastly life?? A string of question marks slowly emerged in the Red Beast’s mind.

With his soul carrying the primordial rule, Jack Clark’s main consciousness had fallen into a deep hibernation, and the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon, being one with his soul source, was also affected.

This time, the carrying of the rule wasn’t as simple as the world origin merging into the soul, but rather a transformation of Jack Clark’s soul.

Those above Heavenly Kings, the Supreme Experts, were beings that had carved out their own path of rules and wielded control over them, and a step further, the Mythical Emperors, had become rule-based creatures.

The two were fundamentally different.

Of course, whether it’s laws or rules, they are the strength of Transcendent Giant Beasts and cultivators themselves, the sublimation of their own paths, where mighty power returns to the self – not about controlling some law of the Blue Star World or the mythical world.

However, there are those who follow a path of fusing with Heaven and Earth, aligning their own laws with some law of the mythical world, and becoming a ‘True God’ who commands a part of the universe.

In the Divine Gods Alliance of the mythical world, some neutral king-level beings who call themselves deities have intertwined and merged their own laws with the heavenly earth laws, forming a Divine Nation.

Within their Divine Nation, these kings are much more powerful, and every action they take is backed by the strength of a part of the universe; at the same time, the laws of their Divine Nation suppress their opponents.

But this path also has significant drawbacks, for once they leave their Divine Nation, their strength can plummet dramatically.

But all of this was still somewhat distant for Jack Clark.

At the moment, under the power of the rule left by Monarch Henry, the blank primordial rule had turned into a primordial cosmos, slowly transforming his soul.

Of course, this transformation was only to imbue Jack Clark’s soul with a touch of the rule’s aura, carrying the primordial essence, not a transformation of the soul into a rule-based creature.

Even Monarchs wouldn’t be capable of such a direct transformation to nurture a rule-based creature.

“Roar! Candle Dragon, I need to sleep for a few days, don’t disturb me,” said the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon. With a flick of its tail, in a few breaths, it reached a nearby underwater mountain peak.

As for the flesh and blood of that Level 9 Giant Beast, it could wait until it woke.

Looking at the black-red ferocious behemoth coiled upon a distant mountain, hibernating, the Red Beast waited a while before reacting, its fearsome maw slightly agape.

“Oh.”

Two days later

At the edge of the Void Rift, Marcellus Larry sat cross-legged, quietly cultivating.

At that moment, the space far away twisted and folded, and the Nether Heavenly King appeared out of nowhere, speaking calmly, “Mr. Whitlock, is there anything unusual inside?”

Marcellus Larry opened his eyes and shook his head, “Nothing unusual.”

No anomalies meant that everything was going smoothly, and the Nether Heavenly King nodded in satisfaction, “That’s good. However, the situation at the Frontline Battlefield is volatile, and I can’t stay long.”

“Once this youngster comes out, discuss with him about his future cultivation,” he said.

“Originally, I thought to let him continue cultivating in the Blue Star World, with us providing enough resources until he makes his breakthrough to king-level. Only then would he go to the mythical world.”

“But at the emergency meeting called yesterday with the three Speakers, the First Councilor rejected this proposal.”

Marcellus Larry was slightly startled, “Why?”

Jack had traversed the King’s Road and the Road of Heavenly Kings and gained the Emperor Inheritance; he had enough depth to break through to king-level all the way.

What he should have done next was to calmly make his breakthrough, continuing to cultivate until reaching king-level before venturing out – otherwise, any unexpected mishap could result in great loss.

Although the Nether Heavenly King had sealed the news, altering everyone’s memories about this relic, it didn’t mean that Jack was out of danger.

In the previous mission where he collaborated with Ilisa Ward to assassinate the demon king, his displayed strength and talent were too formidable, landing him on the assassination list of geniuses for both the Evil God Sect and The Purgatory Family.

If he goes to the mythical world later and is discovered, it’s certain that The Purgatory Family would have demon kings assail him.

This was also why the Nether Heavenly King didn’t alter the information too drastically, retaining his ‘achievement’ of having a king’s attitude.

In fact, in the initial mission to lure and kill the Blood God and demon king, Jack was merely a collaborator; the real bait was Damon Lopes, the Innate Awakened One.

Together with Ilisa Ward, they were enough to draw out Kautorus, the demon king.

But who could have expected that Jack’s breakthrough pace would be so astonishing, growing from the early Sixth Layer to the late stage in just one month, with combat power that defied the heavens.

However, this perfectly executed the assassination plan, causing The Purgatory Demon Race to lose more than three demon kings at once and destroying the Rule True Body of the Blood God.

The Nether Heavenly King slowly said, “The First Councilor’s reason was that the King’s Road is forged in blood and fire; looking across our Human Race’s several dozen King-level strong men, which one of them did not fight their way through?”
