Apart from the sound of heavy breathing, only the whisper of the sea breeze remained. As the dust settled and the view cleared, a vast. crater that was too deep to see the bottom came into sight.
Just as the crowd prepared to step forward and examine the crater, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from its depths.
Within this radiant aura, a figure gradually ascended. Gasps of astonishment rippled through the onlookers as they beheld Jared, who was suspended in mid-air, bathed in golden light, and surrounded by a spiraling golden dragon..
He stood at the epicenter of this breathtaking spectacle, his presence commanding the attention of all. At that moment, exclamations of astonishment and admiration filled the air.
“Mr. Chance, you’re incredible!” Cloud jumped with unbridled joy, raising his hands in excitement.
“Wow, Mr. Chance, you’re amazing!”
“Mr. Chance is absolutely remarkable!”
Renault, Dalton, and others joined in, showering Jared with compliments. Montane Daemon, too, stared at Jared in silent awe before muttering to himself, “Mr. Chance is unparalleled.”
“Mr. Daemon, what does that mean?” Rosetta asked, puzzled.
“It means he is truly exceptional,” Montane explained. Understanding dawned on Rosetta, and she blushed with newfound appreciation.
Jared gracefully landed on the ground, his form unblemished despite the attack from four Tribulator elders. He wore a satisfied expression, clearly pleased with the outcome.
It was evident that his Golem Body, as well as his own abilities, had undergone an upgrade from absorbing the draconic energy.
“This is unbelievable. Did he block those attacks with just his safeguard technique?”
“That safeguard technique seems incredibly potent. What is it?”
“Did anyone else see that golden dragon? Is he being possessed by it?”
Speculations ran rampant through the crowd as they struggled to comprehend how a cultivator from the Body Fusion Realm possessed such a formidable divine safeguard technique.
The appearance of the Golden Dragon left many cultivators who had never witnessed such a phenomenon in utter shock and awe.
Fayzon’s earlier smile froze on his face, and the four elders’ complexions turned pallid as fear overtook them. They realized that death might be looming in the near future.
Jared’s emotionless countenance only intensified their apprehension, causing their heartbeats to quicken and their breaths to grow heavy.
The four elders were consumed by unease, unable to comprehend how Jared, a mere cultivator at the Body Fusion Realm, could radiate an aura equivalent to that of a Fourth Level Tribulator cultivator. It defied all logic.
Jared slowly turned to face the four elders, his eyes devoid of emotion. There wasn’t a hint of rage or a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. It was as though he regarded the four elders as mere specks of dust, utterly insignificant.
Observing the emotionless expression in Jared’s eyes, the four elders swiftly began to retreat. Yet, just as they retreated, Jared made a sudden move. His form dissipated into thin air, giving rise to several of his shadow clones.
Four distinct Jareds materialized simultaneously, each emanating the same formidable aura as the original.
This unforeseen display of the Clone Technique caught not only the four elders but also the entire onlooking crowd by surprise. None had anticipated that Jared possessed the rare ability to create shadow clones.
“Split up and run! There is only one true Jared among the four!” Fayzon urgently commanded the four elders.
