Jared was desperate to escape the lava, but it was as if he was stuck in a quagmire. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free.
Jared attempted to harness his fire nascence, drawing in the surrounding heat waves and flames.
However, it was simply impossible to absorb them. It was as if the flames within the lava and his demonic fire were not of the same entity.
At the same time, Golem Body began to be eaten away underneath the intense heat wave. Jared knew that without Golem Body, his flesh wouldn’t stand a chance against the raging flames of the lava.
Just when he was steeped in despair, a sudden wave of coolness enveloped him from all sides. The demonic fire soul essence he had acquired started to emit a shimmering red light.
The demonic fire soul essence flickered with a red glow as the heat wave and intense flames from the lava were rapidly absorbed into it.
With that, Jared suddenly felt at ease!
“Kid, this is a golden opportunity. If you can refine the fire of the Earth’s core, you’ll have a new type of demonic fire. This is way more powerful than the fire nascence you currently have,” said Vermilion Demon Lord.
Jared was solely focused on the relief he felt. However, upon hearing the words of Vermilion Demon Lord, his eyes instantly lit up.
Now that demonic fire had the ability to absorb the fire of the Earth’s core, he could seize the opportunity to refine some of it.
Had it not been for his demonic fire soul essence, Jared would have been burnt to a crisp by the fire of the Earth’s core, let alone have the opportunity to refine it.
Jared’s eyes were slightly closed as he sensed the intense flames surrounding him.
The fire of the Earth’s core was absorbed by the demonic fire soul essence, so it was utterly incapable of causing harm to Jared.
Jared started to peel off strands of flame from the fire of the Earth’s core that was absorbed by demonic fire soul essence. Using the power of his fire nascence star, he gradually absorbed the flames into his body.
Jared dared not be too greedy. After all, with his current strength, he wasn’t even sure if he could tame a single strand of the fire of the Earth’s core.
If he couldn’t manage to tame and refine it, it would cause havoc inside his body, which would lead to a serious problem.
Jared was exceedingly cautious, gradually harnessing the fire of the Earth’s core. At that moment, Lauden had already burst forth from the crevice, returning to the surface.
Upon seeing Lauden, Keelan and the other disciples were extremely delighted.
Keelan stepped forward and asked, “Mr. Delacroix, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, it’s just… it’s just that my friend Mr. Chance, he…”
Lauden gazed into the bottomless crevice, his expression turning solemn. Upon seeing the expression on Lauden’s face, everyone instantly knew what had transpired and fell silent.
They knew, without Jared, none of them would have survived.
But now, in order to save Lauden, Jared was actually trapped in the crevice forever.
“We, the Five Great Sects, will forever be indebted to Mr. Chance…” Lauden said sorrowfully.
“Mr. Delacroix, at this point, there’s nothing we can do.”
“What should we do about the elder of the Lethal Spirit Sect?” Keelan asked, as Cole was still in their hands.
Lauden glared furiously at Cole. If it hadn’t been for the surprise attack by the Lethal Spirit Sect, none of the disciples from the Five Great Sects would have perished.
Moreover, Jared wouldn’t have been trapped in the crevice, his fate unknown.
“All those animals from Lethal Spirit Sect deserve to die. Throw him into the crevice. Let him meet his tragic end there,” Lauden said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Cole was scared witless.
“No, don’t kill me. I realize my mistake. I swear, I won’t mess with the Five Major Sects ever again. Furthermore, if you let me go, I can be your spy. Should the Lethal Spirit Sect plan anything against you, I’ll notify you in advance,” Cole desperately pleaded.
After all the hardships he faced to achieve his current cultivation level, he certainly did not want to die.
Lauden was not about to listen to any of this. He was determined to vent all his anger on Cole.
Just as he was about to throw Cole into the massive crevice, the ground suddenly shook as if there was an earthquake.
