All eyes watched as Ilias unleashed a palm strike, casting forth a multitude of radiant beams that seemed to overshadow the sun and sky.
Indeed, as a Ninth Level Tribulator, the power unleashed by his casual palm strike was something that Jared simply could not contend with.
Moreover, above the Holy Pond, there was a layer of aura. Jared was afraid he wouldn’t be able to jump into the pool and would end up like the Henningsen family members, turned into a mist of blood.
For the sake of his son, Ilias showed no mercy, not even to his own family members. Golden light erupted from within Jared, as his Golem Body enveloped him completely.
Immediately after, Jared pulled out a timepiece. Streams of spiritual energy were continuously being channeled into that timepiece.
“Start quickly! Start quickly…”
Jared knew that if he wanted to break through Ilias’ aura, he had to utilize the time spell of the timepiece.
As Jared was about to plunge into the aura set up by Ilias, the timepiece, however, showed no reaction.
This had Jared in a state of utter distress.
Above Jared’s head, thousands of rays of light were shooting down. Just as Jared was overwhelmed with anxiety, suddenly, a demon beast’s roar echoed.
The timepiece in Jared’s hand began to shimmer, its hands astonishingly started to move. To Jared’s surprise, he found that the flow around him had suddenly become extremely slow.
The light that was originally as swift as lightning then seemed like fireworks, gradually falling down bit by bit. The aura enveloping the Holy Pond transformed into a series of ripples in Jared’s eyes, flowing slowly.
Jared looked around, everything seemed as if it had come to a standstill, and time itself seemed on the verge of stopping.
A smile tugged at the corner of Jared’s mouth. He knew he had succeeded. At that moment, Ilias’ eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.
In Ilias eyes, a peculiar space suddenly materialized around Jared’s body. His radiant aura, upon entering this strange space, slowed down to an incredible extent as if it had come to a halt.
Ilias had absolutely no idea that Jared was using a time magical item.
Due to the limited area affected by the time magical item, only the space within a few meters around Jared was impacted by the alteration in the flow of time.
Jared’s body was gradually descending, effortlessly passing through the aura that Ilias had cast over the Holy Pond.
Soon, the entire person had fallen into the Holy Pond. After Jared entered the Holy Pond, the flow of time instantly returned to normal.
Jared was basking in the unique aura of the Holy Pond, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
“Little Heaven Devouring Beast, I truly thank you…”
Jared knew that if it hadn’t been for the Heaven Devouring Beast, he probably wouldn’t have been able to open that timepiece.
After entering the Holy Pond, Jared swiftly swam downward.
Upon seeing Jared unexpectedly leap into the Holy Pond, Ilias was instantly filled with rage and roared in anger.
“Damn it! I swear I’ll tear you to pieces!”
Ilias cursed loudly, staring at the Holy Pond. After a moment of hesitation, he, too, jumped in.
Ilias knew that the more people entered the Holy Pond, the less assistance each person would receive.
But then, he had no other choice. He absolutely had to catch up with Jared.
If Rueben was disturbed, preventing the restoration of his bloodline, then the Henningsen family would be left without an heir.
At that moment, Jared was desperately swimming downstream. He had intended to extend his spiritual sense but found that he simply couldn’t project it in that place.
Moreover, the pond water was unbearably icy. Jared felt as if he had plunged into an ice cave.
He felt as though his body was about to freeze stiff.
Jared was quite puzzled. With such a freezing aura emanating from the pond, how come the water hadn’t turned into ice?
Jared ignited a ball of demonic fire at the core of his elixir field.
This made him feel much more at ease. Despite no longer experiencing the bone- chilling energy, the crystal-clear water of the pool hindered his ability to see into the distance. It seemed as though the pool was constantly enveloped in a misty haze.
Although his vision was limited, sounds carried far in that area.
When Jared heard a splash, he realized that Ilias had also jumped in.
In a hurry, Jared compelled himself to maintain absolute silence as he made his way towards the bottom of the pond.
