Flaxseed, on the other hand, was not worried in the slightest. Noticing the anxious looks on their faces, he reassured them, “Don’t worry. Jared will be fine!” Jared had achieved the Spirit Divider stage, so he could have his soul part with his body even without Toyotomi yanking it out. Toyotomi burst out laughing when he saw how. easy it was to pull Jared’s soul out of his body.
“Hahaha! You were running your mouth so arrogantly, so I thought you’d be more of a challenge! Who would’ve thought your soul would be so weak that I could remove it this easily?” he gloated while staring at Jared’s physical body excitedly.
“Are you done laughing yet?” Jared asked all of a sudden as a bright green light appeared on the palm of his hand. Although Jared’s soul was unable to use the Dragonslayer Sword, he could still condense the energy around him into the shape of a sword.
The bright green light then took the form of a long sword that lit up the entire shrine. With a gentle and effortless swing of his arm, Jared slashed at the gigantic palm with that energy sword of his.
Spurt! A dull noise was heard as the gigantic palm got cut in half. Jared’s soul then went back into his body immediately after, much to everyone’s surprise. “What the…”
Toyotomi was so shocked by the sudden turn of events that he instinctively took a few steps back. He did not expect Jared’s soul to be capable of combat after leaving his physical body.
A soul that had left its physical body would become a lot weaker, and some souls wouldn’t even be able to fight at all. The only way those souls would regain some of their strength was by binding themselves to a host body.
However, Jared had managed to create energy. swords and deliver such devastating attacks while his soul was outside of his physical body. Even Toyotomi wasn’t sure if he could reach. Jared’s level of strength as a soul.
“Looks like I may have severely underestimated you, young man. I had no idea your soul was as strong as your physical body. Even so, it won’t do you much good. I could just kill you and take over your physical body. Golden Dragon’s True Form will be weakened as a result, but it would still be good enough for me. Just so you know, I hold ultimate power in this shrine! You can never kill me!” he said as the gigantic palm, that had been cut in half, regenerated and reappeared above Jared’s head.
Toyotomi then had the gigantic palm slam itself down on Jared. Despite having a gigantic palm crashing down on him, Jared calmly waved his right hand and summoned the Dragonslayer Sword before slashing it forward and sending a sword energy. wave through the air.
Each and every one of the disciples outside had fear and shock written all over their faces when they saw that. Although the being living inside this shrine was their deity, they couldn’t help but panic when dark clouds suddenly gathered above the shrine.
A rumbling noise echoed throughout the area. as everything around them started shaking violently. The next thing they knew, the majestic-looking shrine cracked and exploded before their very eyes.
Most of the disciples were not able to run in time and ended up getting crushed to death by the falling concrete. In just a few seconds, the compound outside the altar was covered in blood. A black figure leaped into the air and landed on top of the sculpture.
Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was an elderly man who was so thin that they could clearly see the shape of his bones through his skin. Everyone gasped in shock as they had no ideal who that elderly man was. A young man, too, flew through the air and landed on the altar.
“You would destroy your own shrine, which has been used to worship you for hundreds of years, just so you could survive? I wonder how your disciples would feel about this,” Jared said coldly while flashing Toyotomi a faint smile.
Toyotomi’s face was incredibly gloomy as he stood on top of his sculpture and glared daggers at Jared. Hiroichi, Flaxseed, and the others came running out of the shrine shortly after.
