Chapter 2889 Arrogant
“Mr. Chance, what is this book within your consciousness field? There are no words within it, yet it has the ability to absorb so much energy!” Faiyar inquired with curiosity.
Instead of replying to his question, Jared narrowed his gaze and focused his eyes on Wordless Tome, which was devouring everything like a whirlpool.
As Jared said nothing, Faiyar continued, “Mr. Chance, you should discard this book from your consciousness field. If this goes on, it will absorb all your energy.”
“Let it do that.” Jared gazed at Wordless Tome, showing no signs of stopping it. The ice soul fragment’s energy was still surging into Jared’s body, but his body remained unchanged. Both Vasily and Viola frowned at the sight.
He was absorbing a significant amount of energy, but there was no noticeable change in him. This indicated that Jared required a substantial amount of resources to progress to the next level of cultivation!
Furthermore, the distinctive energy aura emanating from the ice soul fragment had created a swirling vortex in midair. If this continued, it was certain that other cultivators would soon detect their presence.
Jared might have established an arcane array that was impervious even to a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, but a more formidable cultivator could still potentially locate this place.
Vasily and Viola put their guards up, hoping Jared could regain consciousness soon after his breakthrough. At that moment, a figure was heading toward them at full speed.
The sight of the ice soul fragment made the newcomer’s gaze shine with greed. Ignoring both Vasily and Viola, he headed straight for Jared. However, he had barely taken a few steps when the arcane array was triggered, sending him hurtling backward.
“Was that an arcane array?” The cultivator expressed his surprise. He cast a quick glance at Vasily and Viola, then declared, “You two, deactivate the arcane array immediately! Otherwise, I’ll forcefully breach the arcane array and take both of your lives.”
“Ha! Don’t be overly confident. You’re merely a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator!”
Vasily, who had now reached the Fourth Level of Body Fusion Realm, was only one level lower than the newcomer, so he didn’t feel intimidated. Besides, they were protected by the arcane array, too.
“Young man, you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you? If you’re truly courageous, step out and face me in combat. Don’t be a coward hiding behind the arcane array!” the cultivator jeered.
“F*ck it. Let’s fight, then. I’m not scared of you!” Vasily retorted as he made to rush out.
“Vasily, don’t act recklessly.” Viola quickly pulled him back.
“Ms. Warwick, there’s no need to be afraid of him. If I can’t defeat him, I can return to the arcane array!” Vasily told her.
He then leaped out of the arcane array. Seeing Vasily coming out, the cultivator immediately thrust his sword toward Vasily. Fearlessly, Vasily swung his fists, generating swirling winds around him that formed a protective shield.
Having successfully endured the lightning tribulation and achieving a breakthrough to the Fourth Level of Body Fusion Realm, Vasily had witnessed a notable boost in his strength. While his opponent was a cultivator at the Fifth Level of Body Fusion Realm, Vasily could engage in dozens of exchanges without finding himself at a disadvantage.
Witnessing their confrontation, Viola couldn’t help but panic. She looked at Jared, who sat cross-legged and motionless, and fervently whispered, “Please, hurry and achieve a breakthrough to regain consciousness.”
Viola had no idea what was happening with Jared. At that moment, Jared observed the Wordless Tome absorbing energy. The ice soul fragment was shrinking rapidly, yet it appeared that the Wordless Tome was an insatiable void, ceaselessly devouring energy.
This realization filled Jared with unease, as he had not anticipated that the Wordless Tome would require such an enormous amount of energy.
The ice soul fragment, despite its considerable size, was on the verge of being entirely absorbed.
Right as Jared was on the brink of severing Wordless Tome’s connection to the energy absorption, it ceased its devouring at last.
