As Jared descended further, the intensity of the frost energy increased. He had no choice but to summon his fire nascence to envelop his entire body.
Even before reaching the bottom of the pond, Jared felt as though he had already expended a great deal of his energy. Jared couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it! How did Rueben manage to reach the bottom of the pond?”
It’s worth noting that Jared possessed fire nascence and even demonic fire. Yet, he found it extremely difficult to resist this frost energy.
On the other hand, Rueben, who couldn’t possibly comprehend fire nascence, could spend such a long time in the Holy Pond without any incident.
Jared continued diving deeper, while Ilias’ face grew gloomy, his heart filled with intense anxiety.
He knew for certain that Jared was after Rueben. At that moment, Ilias was determined not to let Jared interfere with his son’s complete transformation and restoration.
However, as Ilias descended into the Holy Pond, he felt the frost energy growing increasingly intense. His body struggled to withstand it.
At that moment, Ilias could only desperately use the spiritual energy within his body to protect himself, resisting the frost energy of the Holy Pond.
As a Ninth Level Tribulator, Ilias was able to withstand it.
Meanwhile, Rueben floated in the water, surrounded by a ring of fireworks.
And in Rueben’s hand, a fiery red bead emitted a radiant glow.
Rueben’s expression was serious as he continuously absorbed the unique aura from the Holy Pond, restoring his own bloodline.
Beneath Rueben, there lay an abyss of water so deep that its bottom was invisible. However, Rueben had grown fearful, not daring to venture any deeper.
The reason he was able to sneak in there was because of the fire sacred bead he held in his hand.
This fire sacred bead was brought by those Demonic Cultivators from the Inferno Devil lineage.
Ilias took the initiative to reach out to them, and these Demonic Cultivators also wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with the Demon Seal Alliance. Therefore, they traveled great distances to Ilias, bringing with them the fire sacred bead.
This also puzzled Jared. Why would I encounter a Demonic Cultivator from the Inferno Devil lineage of the far north in the southern region?
“In a few hours, my bloodline will be restored, and I will no longer have to be confined in this dark, windowless shack.” Rueben was overjoyed beyond measure.
For so many years, he had been living in utter darkness.
Fortunately, Ilias discovered the Holy Pond and learned its secret. Therefore, he stealthily murdered the original owner of the Holy Pond and seized control of the entire pond.
The Holy Pond was merely protected by an arcane array, and Ilias was utterly incapable of breaking it. That was why he had to call upon several array masters to unlock it.
Unfortunately, these array masters were too weak. They had been unsuccessful for a long time, so Ilias turned his attention to the Summers family.
The Summers family, even in the entire southern region, let alone around Demonia Mountain, held their own reputation. Ilias couldn’t just directly threaten them.
The only option was to entice the Summers family to join the Demon Seal Alliance. This led to a scene where the brothers, Oscar and Tyler, had political disagreements.
Rueben was unaware of all the things his father had done for him. At that moment, all he wanted was to restore his bloodline as quickly as possible.
Just as Rueben desperately absorbed the aura of the Holy Pond, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.
Rueben looked up, but he couldn’t see anything at all.
However, the sound was crystal clear, as if someone was swimming above his head.
How could anyone have entered the Holy Pond? Could it be Dad? Rueben was filled with doubt in his heart.
It’s important to note that the unique aura within the Holy Pond was limited. In order to enhance the spiritual energy within the pool, Ilias had practically poured all of the Henningsen family’s resources into it.
He would never allow anyone else to enter the Holy Pond.
Furthermore, the intense cold energy contained within the Holy Pond was beyond the tolerance of an average individual. Without proper protective measures, one would inevitably be exposed to the freezing temperatures, resulting in harm to their meridians.
Even Ilias, with all his power, would not have been able to enter the Holy Pond without careful preparation.
