Chapter 523: Chapter 251: Condensing the Combat Divine Body, Closed-door Cultivation Breakthrough to the Seventh Layer (Seeking Monthly Votes)
The next morning.
In the living room, Mathilda Ward looked at the black bottle on the coffee table with a questioning gaze turned towards Jack Clark.
Jack Clark, wearing sunglasses, said calmly, “Back on the Southern Battlefield, I killed a Purgatory Demon named Mikus and seized a storage bag from him.” “Inside were many various things, useful or not, such as Magic Crystals that only the Purgatory Demon Race can use, some High-Order Extraordinary Materials, and the like.”
“I used the useful Transcendent Materials to forge my Battle Armor and weapons, some were exchanged with the school, and aside from those, there was also a piece of jade.”
“The jade was quite peculiar, extremely hard, and even I couldn’t destroy it. It didn’t seem like a Transcendent mineral, yet it emitted a subtle aura, so I kept it.”
“Last night, for some unknown reason, several cracks appeared on the surface of the jade, making it extremely fragile, as if some kind of seal had broken.” “After I shattered the jade, I obtained some special Source of Life, these substances contained very pure Dragon species Life Aura.”
“So, I thought it might be useful for you, considering you possess the ‘Dragon’ Laws’ Origin.”
“…Thank you,” Mathilda Ward’s eyes flashed with emotion.
Jack shook his head, “MissWard, no need for politeness. Whether for personal reasons or in view of the Mysterious Martial Sky King’s contributions to the Human Race, I wish for you to survive.”
Over the past month, Jack Clark had formed a very favorable impression of Mathilda Ward.
This impression was not the affection between a man and a woman, but one of personal admiration.
In the face of her ever-approaching death, nineteen-year-old Mathilda Ward remained calm and composed, even using her own schemes to assist the Federation in luring and killing two Monarchs.
Such breadth of mind and spirit, and such vision, even Jack Clark had profound respect for.
The origin of this Source of Life, as he said, was all attributed to Mikus—after all, many people knew he had obtained a storage bag at that time.
Lately, he had also produced some special Extraordinary Materials for examination, including the Ward Off Evil Crystal Horn, which repels the Demon Clan’s identity.
Under such circumstances, it seemed reasonable for more strange things to emerge from the storage bag, as only Jack Clark knew exactly what was inside.
Of course, whether others believed this reason was their business, but Jack Clark himself believed it.
Overcome with emotion, Mathilda Ward opened the black bottle, and then a pure and terrifying Life Aura spread out, even making her reveal a look of shock.
“Such a pure Dragon species Life Origin Substance.”
In her perception, the Life Aura emitted by this Origin Substance was even ‘purer’ than that of some Mythical Dragons’ Life Energy.
To save her, the Mysterious Martial Sky King had once killed a Mythical Dragon-tvpe Giant Beast and refined its Essence of Life, hence Mathilda Ward was particularly sensitive to this aspect.
Also, there was a stirring from the depths of her soul.
But immediately after, Mathilda Ward sighed lightly and showed regret, “Unfortunately, my injury stems from the soul, and this material that enhances life potential has a negligible effect on me.”
Jack Clark’s brows slightly furrowed, he had not expected that even the Emperor level Dragon species Life Origin Substance would be ineffective for Mathilda Ward’s injuries.
At that moment, her eyes brightened, as if she saw a glimmer of hope, “However, with this Dragon species Life Origin Substance, my chances of revival have increased by ten percent.”
“Revival, ten percent,” Jack Clark’s gaze shifted slightly.
Mathilda Ward nodded lightly, “Given my inevitable demise, my father and some uncles have researched for over a decade and finally came up with a method: Life Transmutation.”
“Since my human soul is fractured, we decided to completely give up on it and use the ‘Dragon’ as the core to reshape the soul form, with the body undergoing transformation in sync.”
“This is akin to how cultivators begin to transform their physique in the early stages of cultivation and slowly influence and change the soul after reaching the Ninth Heavens, only in reverse order.”
“However, the soul is too mysterious, even King-level strong men cannot claim to exhaust its mysteries, let alone my soul, which is already weak.”
“Including the body’s synchronous change and the need to be in sync with the soul’s transformation, the difficulty is high and involves biology, genetics, and even laws.”
“Therefore, even with my father’s decade-plus of preparation and the assistance of some uncles, the current chance of success is only twenty percent.”
“And in academic terms, a twenty percent chance of success is practically indistinguishable from failure.”
“Also, the Life Reversal Ceremony can only be conducted when my soul has weakened to its limit, so my chances of reviving are very low, with a high likelihood of eternal hibernation.”
“But with this Source of Life, I feel the success rate has increased by ten percent, because the level of life contained within this Origin Substance is too high.”
“So high that even the Dragon Divine Soul Source inside me is actively seeking to merge with it.”
Having been involved in the research of her own lifesaving ritual over the years, Mathilda Ward thoroughly understood every required step and necessity.
She was also exceedingly shocked by the level of this Life Origin Substance.
Although there was only a small amount of Origin Substance, it did not matter to her; she had as much life-related resources as she needed. What she lacked was this precious ‘catalyst.’
I thought as much, how could a Heavenly King Level existence not have a backup plan prepared?
In a contemplative mood, Jack Clark’s face showed a faint smile, “If this thing is useful to you, Miss Ward, that’s great. Perhaps you might even achieve rebirth successfully.”
“Brother Callum, this Origin Substance is very important to me, so I will accept it without being polite,” she said.
“I won’t say too much in thanks, but I will prepare a big gift for you as a token of my appreciation later on.”
