“Hmph, Demon Seal Alliance publicly executed Demonic Cultivators like us. But behind the scenes, they’ve negotiated for cooperation multiple times.”
“The Foster family from the central region are vassals of Demon Seal Alliance. They have long been in discussions with us about your demise.”
“Unexpectedly, you’ve been hiding your true self within Violet Flame Sect: It seems good fate favors Ghost Mask Sect, now that I’ve run into you today.”
Maurice snorted coldly, clearly unbothered by Jared’s deliberate provocation!
Upon hearing Maurice speak in such a manner, Jared couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly!
He hadn’t expected that Demon Seal Alliance would actually start negotiating with Demonic Cultivators in their quest to annihilate him!
In a way, the former Demon Seal Alliance was domineering and arrogant. Any Demonic Cultivators who dared to disobey were annihilated, forcing the rest into submission!
And now, they had actually started negotiating with Demonic Cultivators!
“With your level of skill, you simply couldn’t kill me…”
Jared gave a cold laugh!
“Really?” Maurice had barely finished his words when he suddenly leapt up, casting an immediate darkness over the entire surroundings!
Immediately after, countless black spiritual energy chains which were aflame surged towards Jared!
These spiritual energy chains, akin to tentacles, looked as if they possessed life!
In just a fleeting moment, it had reached above Jared’s head!
The chains, as all-encompassing as a sky- covering eclipse, had sealed off all of Jared’s escape routes!
It was the same even several miles away!
Maurice had figured it out. Each of Jared’s spatial leaps only covered a few miles. So this time, he blanketed the entire area within that radius. There was no way Jared could escape!
The speed of this spiritual chain was incredibly fast, giving Jared no time to react!
Upon seeing Jared’s unavoidable predicament, a smirk formed on Maurice’s lips!
In his view, Jared was undoubtedly doomed!
How could he, an expert of Ultimate Realm, admit to being unable to handle a mere Fourth Level Tribulator? That would be utterly crazy!
Yet, there wasn’t a trace of panic in Jared’s expression as he looked at those spiritual energy chains.
Countless spiritual energy chains blazing with intense fire were heading towards Jared. However, when they reached right in front of him, all one could see was a slight tremble in Jared’s body!
Then, a visible burst of white light flashed, immediately followed by the sudden stillness of the chains. Even the internal flame that danced on them ceased to flicker!
It was as if time and space had come to a standstill.
“What? You actually know how to freeze time? Could it be that you’ve grasped time nascence?”
Maurice was taken aback, his face drained of color in shock!
Jared merely gave a cold laugh, and his figure disappeared in an instant, only to reappear several miles away!
Jared had grasped time nascence, yet he was still unable to bring it to a complete standstill!
What he had just used was nothing but extremus frost flame!
The spiritual energy chains and internal flame were both encased in ice, appearing as if time and space had come to a standstill!
In doing so, it would plant a seed of doubt in Maurice’s heart, making him hesitate to act rashly!
Having the ability to freeze time was a technique of the immortal families. It was far beyond the capabilities of cultivators in Ethereal Realm like them!
To everyone’s surprise, Jared had actually pulled it off!
In the midst of Maurice’s momentary daze, the man who had originally been fighting with Jared suddenly exclaimed, “Maurice, this isn’t a case of time standing still, but of the spiritual energy chains being frozen.”
With just a single sentence, it served as a reminder to Maurice. Indeed, he felt a profound chill from the spiritual energy chains!
“This brat is trying to bluff me…”
Maurice narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent radiating from his body!
Maurice’s eyes had mysteriously turned a deep, dark shade, and a black flame seemed to engulf his surroundings. Within these dark flames, several figures slowly emerged.
“Hmph, no matter how fast you are, do you really think you can outpace a demonic soul?”
Maurice scoffed coldly!
You should know that demonic souls aren’t bound by any laws, and they can move at incredible speeds. After all, they don’t have physical bodies. They are just spirits!
