Chapter 622: Chapter 286: Plundering Talent, Madly Sweeping Up (Vote for Monthly Tickets)
Despite being in the endless Void, the Void Continent, shrouded by an invisible power, still has a distinction between day and night under the influence of powerful ruling forces.
As night fell, the continent was shrouded in darkness, and the Void Energy pervading the Doomsday Ruins became even more violent.
This Void Energy, like the Heavenly Energy, also possesses the capability to alter the life forms of living beings.
However, compared to the more gentle and Evolutionary Heavenly Energy, the Void Energy has a stronger erosive nature, more violent, and the direction of mutation is also more distorted and bizarre.
As a result, many people would retreat from the ruins before nightfall to return to the Oasis to recover and repair, expelling the Void Energy that had contaminated their bodies, including Jack Clark.
Standing on a hillside several hundred meters high and lush with vegetation, Jack looked out into the pitch-dark world that even his night vision could barely make clear and expressed his amazement.
“Is this the power that surpasses myths? Despite being dead for who knows how many years, the rules left behind still affect the operation of this continent.”
As he spoke, Jack exhaled and focused on himself, calling up the attribute page with a thought and checking the results of the day.
Talent: Void Double Pupils +1352
This was the fruit of Jack’s half-day’s labor, spanning over three thousand kilometers, slaying over a thousand Fifth Layer Heaven and more than a hundred Sixth Layer polluted monsters.
It might sound a bit meager, but in reality, it was already a lot, considering that these Void Creatures were scattered throughout the ruins, not queuing up for him to kill.
In Jack’s relentless run, he spared no Void Creatures he encountered, and after each kill, he had to stop and wait for the Purple Killing Energy to condense.
This was the reason it took only half a day to cover more than three thousand kilometers.
At this moment, over a thousand layers of Void Energy condensed at the edge of his Black Gold vertical pupils, forming a circle of black Rune Sequence Chains that revolved slowly, enhancing the might of the Void Double Pupils.
Although he hadn’t tested them, Jack could clearly sense that his Void Double Pupils had grown stronger, a faint smile appearing on his face, not having expected such a gain from this relic expedition.
…
Inside a cave, firelight burned as Crystal Lewis, clad in battle armor, took out Alien Beast Jerky, energy-infused mineral water, and a small iron pot from her Sumeru Bracelet and slowly began to cook.
Sitting across from her on a stone was Mandy, whose smart wristwatch, enhanced by the Heavenly Eye, projected a chat interface filled with many people sharing their day’s gains and information.
These messages all bore a country and name as a header.
Cross Mountain Country. Charlie Klein: “The Void Monsters in the ruins are so strong, I only went thirty kilometers in today and almost died at the hands of a monster.”
Eastern Summer. Justin Welan: “Haha, that’s so rough for you. Good thing I didn’t enter the ruins and chose to chance upon opportunities in the Oasis. Luck was on my side, and I picked up a shattered stele inscribed with runes.”
Eastern Summer. Howard Lambert: “Damn, Mr. Willard, you actually found good stuff so quickly?”
Hundred Foxes. Rowan Trevino: “I found something good too, but I won’t tell you what it is.”
Simon. Carls: “Today, my luck wasn’t bad either. Someone stole my kill, but I found a half-broken battle sword containing a special realm of thought over in the distant ruins.”
Simon. Taras: “Hey! Brother, you got your kill stolen too? Was it that Jack Clark from Eastern Summer?”
Gunardo. Brock Raven: “I encountered Jack too. That guy is too overpowered; in the blink of an eye, he blew up a dozen Fifth and Sixth Layer monsters. His dominance is unrivaled.”
“But he didn’t steal my kill. Or rather, if it weren’t for him showing up, I would’ve already died at the hands of those monsters.”
Ralrudo. Carter: “Damn it, he stole my kill too. Wait, the areas where you guys are should be quite far from us, right…?”
Suddenly, a flood of messages refreshed the chat interface, with many people saying they had their kills stolen by Jack or that Jack came to their aid, or that they had seen him.
“Is that guy a monster? He’s managed to encircle the Oasis and kill in one round. And he hasn’t exhausted his True Strength entering Supersonic Speed for half a day?”
“Strange, with his strength, going deeper into the ruins to slay those higher-order monsters should be more profitable, right?”
This question was not only on their minds but had also puzzled the two king-level figures outside the relic for half a day.
Lori Joyner mused, “Mr. Whitlock, should we just hang the rankings to give these youngsters a bit more competitiveness?”
“Sure, and we can also release the converted data for the Purple Killing Energy.”
Marcellus Larry smiled and tapped a few times on the Eye of Heaven Observation, opening the ranking permissions for all Sub-eyes.
Suddenly, everyone who was looking at the chat noticed the change on their projection screen; Mandy’s eyes lit up, “Sis, there’s a new ranking feature.”
“First place goes to Simon’s Gabriella, so strong, she’s accumulated over four thousand three hundred points of Purple Killing Energy in just half a day.”
“The second place is Eddy Keller with four thousand two hundred plus points, just a hundred less than Gabriella. That’s amazing.”
“Third place is Beast King Baldro with four thousand two hundred plus, and the fourth place is actually someone called Brudos, who’s quietly risen to fourth.”
Mandy then saw the name of the Innate Awakened One, Damon Lopes, at fifth place, with nearly three thousand nine hundred points of Purple Killing Energy.
She continued to scroll down until she came across Jack’s name at thirty-fourth place, somewhat surprised, “Jack is only in thirty-fourth place, with two thousand eight hundred plus points?”
“Thirty-fourth place.” Crystal also seemed a bit surprised.
In their view, with Jack’s strength, even if not in the top three, he should at least be in the top five, not expecting him to be outside the top thirty.
