Soon, Jared found himself once again engulfed by a massive flame vortex!
Maurice, upon witnessing the situation, was almost driven to the brink of fury. These flame vortexes were originally meant to hinder Jared and prevent him from escaping at will.
But now, it became Jared’s protective charm.
Jared gazed at the swirling flames around him, finding himself unexpectedly drawn to them at that moment. The flame vortex was simply perfection.
Using the flame vortex as his cover, Jared started to cultivate his skills while making his escape.
Maurice could only watch helplessly, not daring to come any closer. The massive pull of the flame vortex threatened to suck him in.
Now, he had to endure the assault of the flames on his body while also dodging the flame vortex that appeared from time to time.
The ghost masks surrounding Maurice had already reached their peak of rotation.
“Ah!” Maurice bellowed in fury, He could only watch as Jared drifted further and further away from him.
As an expert of the Ultimate Realm, he was outplayed by Jared, a mere Fourth Level Tribulator. Maurice was so frustrated that he felt like he was on the verge of spitting blood.
Soon enough, Jared’s figure vanished entirely within the flame vortex, and Maurice could no longer sense Jared’s presence.
Maurice was on the verge of losing his sanity. Despite his physical discomfort, he continued to search in the deepest corners.
Despite searching for what seemed like ages, there was no sign of Jared. The ghost mask by his side had already started to crumble.
Without the protection of the ghost mask, Maurice’s body simply couldn’t withstand the fierce flames.
Left with no other choice, Maurice could only swim upstream.
Hovering above the magma river, Maurice was in a state of utter dejection.
The disciples he had brought with him were all slaughtered, and despite his relentless pursuit, he didn’t manage to harm Jared in the slightest.
If this were to get out, who would believe it?
Despite being at the Ultimate Realm, he couldn’t handle a mere Fourth Level Tribulator.
No one would believe it even if the sky fell.
But this was the truth. Maurice was starting to regret ever coming to the Violet Flame Sect.
Rather than having the other elders come over, he initially wanted to gain some merit. Once the Ghost Mask Sect wiped out the Violet Flame Sect, he would surely rise in ranks.
But now, everything was ruined. If he couldn’t kill Jared, he had no idea how to explain himself when he returned.
As Maurice gazed at the surging magma river, his expression grew increasingly grim.
“Seems like there’s no way to get this done without making a sacrifice…”
After a moment of silence, Maurice’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of resolve.
Immediately after, Maurice waved his hand, and dozens of ghost masks swarmed toward him. At the same time, these ghost masks let out a series of chilling and agonized screams!
Dozens of ghost masks began to latch onto Maurice’s body, causing him to continuously swell.
These ghost masks, each unique in shape and bearing grotesque expressions, clung onto Maurice. Hence, it appeared as though Maurice had sprouted dozens of faces.
At that moment, Maurice’s ghost mask split open slowly from the center of his eyebrows, followed by a stream of fresh blood trickling down from his forehead.
Wherever the fresh blood flowed, each ghost mask greedily consumed it, all the while exuding a strong demonic aura!
Eerie black flames swirled continuously around Maurice.
Maurice glanced at the magma river below and plunged down toward it. This time, Maurice moved with unmatched speed, completely unaffected by the blazing flames.
At that moment, Jared was still at the bottom of the magma river, his body amidst the flame vortex. This was the safest place for him.
However, Jared didn’t know whether Maurice had left or not.
Even though Maurice possessed the power of the Ultimate Realm, it was impossible for him to stay at the bottom of the magma river for too long.
Engulfed by a flame vortex, Jared continued to move forward. As for where this path would lead, Jared had no idea.
Right now, all he wanted was to escape from Maurice’s relentless pursuit!
