Endless flames around him were fervently absorbed by Jared, then integrated into this crimson blaze.
“Die!” A murderous intent suddenly flashed in Jared’s eyes as the crimson flames burst forth abruptly.
The moment the crimson flames were unleashed, Jared simultaneously executed time nascence. Although Jared’s time nascence could not halt the space-time continuum, he managed to slow down the passage of time within this particular area.
With that, it was practically impossible for Maurice to evade Jared’s attack.
Jared knew he had to land a successful hit with the first strike when dealing with an Ultimate Realm expert like Maurice. Only then would he have a chance to escape.
Jared had no intention of killing Maurice because he was well aware that an Ultimate Realm expert wouldn’t be so easily defeated.
Maurice was different from Selma. Selma used a secret technique to enhance his strength and attain the Ultimate Realm forcibly, while Maurice had already been an Ultimate Realm expert for many years.
In that fleeting moment, Maurice felt a peculiar sluggishness overtake his body as if the passage of time around him had gradually slowed down.
Yet, it seemed that the attacks launched by Jared were not affected by the flow of time.
Taken aback, Maurice gazed at Jared in disbelief.
Nevertheless, he chuckled the next second. “I never expected this from you. You’re just a Fourth Level Tribulator, yet you mastered the time nascence. This is something that even many Ultimate Realm experts couldn’t manage. Still, even if you’ve grasped the time nascence, you can forget about killing me. That’s simply because you’re nowhere near strong enough.”
After all, the gap in strength was immense. Moreover, Maurice had employed a secret technique, allowing the ghost masks to possess him. Even if Jared could manipulate time and initiate an attack, Maurice was unfazed.
That was because Maurice was absolutely confident that Jared’s attacks couldn’t harm him.
Jared looked at the confident Maurice, fully aware that his attacks couldn’t harm the latter.
Putting aside Maurice’s formidable abilities as an Ultimate Realm expert, the ghost masks surrounding him acted like an impenetrable wall of iron and copper, providing him with a solid layer of protection.
Deep within this lava river, the flarning energy surrounding them did Maurice no harm, and that was all due to those ghost masks.
If it weren’t for the Fire Spirit Lord’s demonic fire soul essence in Jared’s possession, he would have been done for long ago.
However, a smirk played at the corners of Jared’s mouth. The ball of crimson flame he had just conjured was not intended to defeat Maurice.
What Jared truly intended to utilize was this flame vortex. At that moment, the duo was caught up in the flame vortex and completely unaffected by the flaming energy.
However, there was one thing that both Jared and Maurice feared, and that was the void fracture caused by the flame vortex.
If they were to be sucked into the void fracture that seemed to lead to nowhere, they might never be able to return.
That was the reason behind Jared’s intention to use time nascence to slow down the passage of time.
And that burst of crimson flames was meant to open a void fracture within the flame vortex.
The void fracture was not affected by the flow of time. After all, the time within this void fracture belonged to another unknown world, which remained unaffected by Ethereal Realm’s temporal pace.
From the beginning, Jared had everything planned to catch Maurice off guard.
Indeed, Maurice had been quite careless at that time. He believed that Jared’s blazing red flames would cause him no harm. So he didn’t worry.
However, as Jared’s cluster of crimson flames erupted, it caused a sudden distortion within the flame vortex’s void.
Immediately after, a void fracture emerged at the heart of the vortex, and it continued to grow larger.
Within the void fracture was nothing but darkness, akin to an unfathomable abyss.
The void fracture even emanated a tremendous suction force. Maurice, who was closest to the void fracture, started to panic as he felt the immense suction power.
