Jared observed the situation and frowned. It was obvious that Kyan intended to detonate his Devouring Sky Gourd.
“Retreat now!”
He grabbed Rosetta, intending to escape with her. However, it was too late. The Devouring Sky Gourd emitted countless spiritual lights, teetering on the edge of explosion.
Jared had no choice but to activate the Golem Body, enveloping himself in a golden light before moving in front of Rosetta to shield her.
Boom!
The Devouring Sky Gourd exploded, its power comparable to a missile. In an instant, the scattered weapons on the ground turned into projectiles, flying in all directions. The earth cracked open, and the arcane array set up by Jared disappeared instantly.
The shockwave sent Jared flying, but thanks to the protection of the Golem Body and his robust physique, he wasn’t severely injured.
As Rosetta was protected by Jared, she managed to escape unharmed but was thrown quite far away, looking disheveled.
The other members of Skywolf Sect were not as fortunate. They were tossed around like ragdolls, resulting in numerous casualties. Only a few managed to survive but sustained significant injuries.
There was no denying Kyan was incredibly ruthless, to the point he would disregard his juniors’ lives just to kill Jared and prevent Jared from getting his Devouring Sky Gourd.
If it weren’t for Jared’s Golem Body and sturdy physical form, the explosion would have been much more deadly.
“Ms. Lothian, are you okay?” Jared asked.
“I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Chance. If you hadn’t shielded me, I would have lost my life,” Rosetta acknowledged, realizing she owed her survival to Jared.
“I’m glad you’re fine.”
With that, Jared hurriedly returned to the scene. He needed to check on the spirit beast egg. If it had been affected by the explosion, it would be a great loss.
The scene was a complete mess, with a huge crater in the ground. Even the mountain of weapons had been sent flying some distance away. Some weapons had even disintegrated into dust and disappeared completely.
As for Kyan, he had vanished without a trace. Upon inspection, Jared found the spirit beast egg completely unscathed. It hadn’t even shifted from its spot at all, which was pretty amazing.
The force of that explosion was capable of sending even an Eighth Level Tribulator cultivator flying, but the spirit beast egg remained in its spot.
Jared advanced toward the spiritual beast egg, contemplating picking it up for inspection. Yet, he hesitated, remembering the display of rainbow light it emitted upon his touch earlier, prompting him to halt.
If more unscrupulous individuals were to come here after seeing the light, Jared wouldn’t have the energy to deal with them.
After the battle with Kyan, Jared had almost used up all his energy and needed to recuperate. With a thought, he promptly kept the beast egg in his Storage Ring.
Regardless, it was dangerous to linger any longer. The weapons were scattered everywhere, and the originally condensed celestial energy was no longer present. Thus, there was no need for Jared to remain here anymore.
Rosetta approached Jared, feeling a wave of fear wash over her at the sight of what remained of the battlefield. If Jared weren’t here, she had no idea what would have happened to her.
“Mr. Chance, we should leave. The sound of the explosion might attract unwanted attention,” Rosetta reminded Jared.
“Yeah!” Jared nodded, preparing to leave with her.
“Help! Help!”
The severely injured Skywolf Sect members were crying for help. Jared glanced at them and then back at Rosetta before walking aside.
He knew what Rosetta wanted to do next and didn’t want to pressure her. When Jared stepped aside, Rosetta marched over to the Skywolf Sect members, her eyes ablaze with fury.
