“Such a reckless fool…”
Selma glanced at Jared, who had now become as still as an ice sculpture, and let out a cold huff. Others, meanwhile, watched Jared with a series of sighs.
“Who would have thought that a Third Level Tribulator could unleash such power? It’s a shame he lacked self-awareness, which led to his current state.”
“Selma is a renowned Top Level Tribulator. How could a Third Level Tribulator dare to challenge her?”
“The young are fearless. He failed to realize that however good somebody is, there is always somebody better.”
Many cultivators greatly admired Jared’s courage, yet they couldn’t help but laugh at his recklessness.
Using the power of a Third Level Tribulator to challenge the Top Level Tribulator? Isn’t this tantamount to courting death?
Even Yuliya’s face was filled with disbelief as she stared at Jared, who had seemingly turned into an ice sculpture.
She couldn’t comprehend what was going through Jared’s mind. Could it be that he truly has no fear of death?
While everyone was busy gossiping about Jared, no one noticed that a flicker of flame had unexpectedly sparked on his chest.
This was Jared’s fire nascence working tirelessly inside his body.
The nascence star shimmered radiantly, virtually releasing all of its nascence power. The flames grew increasingly intense, gradually thawing the ice that had enveloped Jared.
The intense heat tested the cold ice, emitting waves of steam that instantly filled the air.
Beneath the steam, Jared’s figure started to appear translucent.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was taken aback. They hadn’t expected Jared to survive under Selma’s Ice Seal, let alone use demonic fire to melt the ice.
Selma was taken aback for a moment, then she frowned slightly and said, “So, he knows fire- related techniques. No wonder he’s so audacious. Don’t assume that your meager flame could melt my ice. I’ll show you what I’m truly capable of.”
Selma remained calm and composed. With a subtle clench of her hands, the frost energy in the air directly converged toward her.
Upon witnessing this scene, Jared’s heart instantly filled with a sense of despair. He had exhausted every bit of his fire nascence, just to gradually melt the ice surrounding his body.
However, it seemed that Selma was gearing up to make another move, and this time, it appeared to be even more ruthless than before.
Jared was terrified as he knew he wouldn’t be able to withstand this attack.
Even if Jared had just narrowly escaped death, there was no doubt that this strike would certainly be his end.
“You probably won’t survive this attack. I never thought a mere Top Level Tribulator would push me into a dire situation. Had I known you were this useless, I wouldn’t have taken up residence in your consciousness field,” Vermilion Demon Lord said, expressing his regret.
However, it was utterly pointless to express regret at this point.
“I’m truly sorry for dragging you into this mess, Mr. Vermilion.”
Jared expressed his remorse with a heavy heart.
“Do you need me to use my worn-out soul remnant to shield you? This way, you should be safe. However, whether I can remain in this world after that, is uncertain.”
Vermilion Demon Lord was planning to sacrifice himself to ensure Jared’s safety.
After all, he was merely a fragment of a divine soul. Once separated from his host, his power significantly diminished. If attacked, he would undoubtedly be reduced to nothing.
“Mr. Vermilion, I appreciate your kindness, but we can’t give up until the very end. Who knows, there might be a chance for a turnaround,” Jared said.
Jared tried to persuade the Vermilion Demon Lord, but he himself was prepared for the worst.
“Halt!”
Just as Selma was about to strike Jared with her palm, a delicate cry rang out.
Selma halted her actions, her entire being succumbing to a state of stupefaction. She observed how the entirety of Lunarius Palace, both inside and out, had turned unbearably cold.
Within a distance of several miles, snowflakes were falling. The strong wind was filled with wails and howls.
All the cultivators felt an intense chill coursing through their bodies, compelling them to involuntarily retreat into the distance.
