Suddenly, Jack Clark vanished instantly, followed by a booming explosion.

The Furious Ape’s hair stood on end as an intense sense of impending death rose from its tailbone, causing it to instinctively release all its strength with an ear-piercing roar.

Roar!

Under the terrifying sonic blast, concentric shockwaves swept through the surrounding area of several tens of meters, causing the originally unstable space to tremble.

In the blink of an eye, black cracks appeared and disappeared, turning the area into a death zone.

At the exact moment when the long-haired Furious Ape roared, a dazzling black-red light burst open on its chest, and a massive amount of flesh and blood exploded from the tremendous impact, causing its chest to collapse inwards.

Its back bulged violently, emitting a cracking explosion sound, while the blood-colored light pierced through its body and only fell to the ground after reaching a hundred meters away.

In an instant, the once ferocious roaring ape’s eyes gradually dimmed, and it fell to the ground with a crash.

Its massive body smashed into the ground, and a torrent of blood gushed from its chest.

A hundred meters away, Jack Clark stood holding his war halberd, slowly calming the burning Qi Blood and True Strength within his body, as the godly and devilish aura around him gradually disappeared.

Looking at the lifeless corpse of the Furious Ape and the continuously appearing and disappearing spatial rifts around him, Jack Clark remained calm.

This Furious Ape’s realm was higher than that of the Blood Armored Beast King, but its strength was not much stronger, and its aura was no match for the Beast King with a king-level bloodline.

It could only be said that its strength was average among Level 5 Peak Mutated Beasts.

After using the ape to familiarize himself with the environment of the valley and learning which areas had spatial distortions and which were more stable, Jack Clark directly launched a full-strength attack and killed it instantly.

After all, his cultivation was only at the Late Fourth Layer Heaven, and while his ordinary combat power was stronger than the Furious Ape, defeating it and killing it were two different levels of difficulty.

This way, it would take more time and effort, and accidents could easily occur, such as causing unstable space collapses due to the fight.

So, it was better to burst out all his strength in one hit to kill it instantly, even if it meant being weakened for a while. With his previous experience, the instantaneous burst was still within his tolerable range.

After a brief recovery, Jack Clark approached the corpse of the long-haired Furious Ape and jumped onto it with a burst of strength.

Soon, Jack Clark dug out a fist-sized, crystal clear crystal, emitting circles of green light and pure life energy, from the ape’s chest.

Jack Clark couldn’t help but smile.

A Level 5 Life Crystal worth 160 contribution points, plus Mutated Beast Meat worth around 150 points—this trip was profitable even without finding resources.

Indeed, a Level 5 Life Crystal was worth only 160 contribution points, just twice as expensive as Level 4 crystals.

As mentioned previously, the higher the level of a crystal, the lesser the increase in life energy it contains—the most important factor is the purity.

This can be seen from the size changes of Life Crystals.

Akin to the Avatar Evolution’s accumulation of vast and magnificent Evolution Energy, each evolution results in a significant leap in the physical body and life level.

After Mutated Creatures reach the peak level, a crystal containing pure life energy will gradually form within their bodies, playing a role similar to ignition and catalysis.

This lights the fire of life evolution, allowing them to evolve.

Therefore, at higher levels, the exchange requirements for Life Crystals are not as expensive as one would think.

If it weren’t for the higher purity of life energy contained within, which has a noticeable strengthening effect on the body of cultivators of the same level, the price would be even cheaper.

Including the corpse of a Mutated Beast, the higher-level ones arc mainly valued for their bones, scale armor, and some special internal organs, rather than essence blood.

The value of Mutated Beast Meat, which is the majority of their bodies, has dropped significantly at higher levels.

Because ordinary people cannot digest the meat of high-level Mutated Creatures.

As for high-level cultivators, they, like Mutated Creatures, can maintain their consumption by ingesting and exhaling large amounts of Heavenly Energy, thus reducing their dependence on food.

Under these circumstances, the flesh and blood of high-level Mutated Beasts are often used as “feed” or long-lasting rations for armies on extended campaigns.

Jack Clark held the Life Crystal in his hand, and a voice resounded in his mind: “Convert to Attribute points.”

“You have converted a High Purity Life Crystal, gaining 165 Attribute points.”

Immediately, Jack Clark’s Attribute points, which had been used up due to the strengthening method, rose to 168, but were still far from the 300 points needed to strengthen the Sixth level Dragon Elephant Technique.

Moreover…

At this thought, Jack Clark’s gaze turned to the end of the mountain wall in the distance.

At the foothills, the large cave narrowed deeper inside.

Furthermore, intense spatial fluctuations were felt deeper within; at any moment, spatial rifts could form.

The white crystal stones Jack Clark saw earlier were located deep within the cracks, mixed in with some small, crushed stones. Their origin likely came from space collapse.

According to official research over many years, these collapsed space points are the conflict nodes of two worlds’ forces, which can sometimes cause collapse, piercing through certain parts of both worlds.

Under this circumstance, twisted and dangerous spatial zones are formed while drawing in some of the mythical world’s materials, which is the origin of many resources.

These resources might be minerals, plants with special powers, fruits, or some special energy aggregates.

Ethereal Crystal Stones generally appear in areas with a high concentration of space force, almost forming solid veins, or in places where space collapses.

Arriving deep within the cave, Jack Clark cautiously held his halberd and slowly hooked out three fist-sized Ethereal Crystal Stones..
