As Jared advanced, he unexpectedly found himself at a dead end, facing an imposing rock wall.
He had fallen into an abyss, and at that moment, he had surprisingly reached the end of it. At this point, Jared had no choice but to swim back up.
While swimming, he noticed that the rock walls had been scorched intensely by flames, turning them into unique crystals.
Everything shimmered with a radiant red glow, appearing crystal clear and incredibly enticing.
Jared reached out, running his fingers along the rocky wall. A surge of intense, flaming energy coursed through his body upon contact.
His eyes lit up, as he hadn’t expected that stored within it was pure flaming energy.
If the crystals were used to refine True Fire Spiritual Body, enhancing his internal flame, it would undoubtedly speed his cultivation up.
With this thought, Jared quickly drew out Dragonslayer Sword. With a swift stroke, he struck the rocky cliff, intending to dislodge the crystal embedded above.
Yet, despite Jared’s consecutive sword strikes, the rock wall remained unscathed.
I can’t believe how tough they are!
Having been subjected to the relentless blaze for God knew how long, the crystals were incredibly hard-wearing.
Seeing no way to take the crystal with him, Jared could only rest his hands quietly on the rock wall, absorbing the flaming energy within them.
“This place is truly mysterious. It feels as if I’ve seen it somewhere before…” said Vermilion Demon Lord.
“You’ve seen it before? Where?” Jared hastily asked.
“I can’t remember. Don’t forget about my amnesia. But if you allow me to take control of your body, perhaps some memories might resurface.”
Vermilion Demon Lord’s intentions couldn’t be any more obvious.
“Forget it. Stop with those little schemes of yours!”
Jared glared at Vermilion Demon Lord.
“Kid, just let me indulge myself for now. Once I regain my physical body and return to the celestial realm, I’ll definitely return the favor.”
Vermilion Demon Lord was practically pleading with Jared.
“Bullsh*t, whether or not you can regain your physical body depends on me finding those remnants you’ve lost. So, stop eyeing my body…”
Shaking his head, Jared adamantly refused. The last thing he wanted was to lose his physical body.
Jared chose to ignore Vermilion Demon Lord. Instead, he quietly absorbed the flaming energy within the crystal.
Meanwhile, True Fire Spiritual body was also strengthening continuously.
With fire soul essence in his possession, Jared didn’t have to fear internal flames, no matter how terrifying they were.
Nevertheless, he regretted having wasted a puppet in the process.
At that moment, Maurice had already plunged into the lava river, frantically searching for Jared within the fiery abyss.
By then, he was no longer afraid of the flames. The ghost mask that covered his body had already neutralized the flaming energy for him!
As Maurice continued to explore, he quickly reached the end of the abyss. The red crystals on the rock wall drew his attention too.
Just as Maurice was about to examine the red crystals, he abruptly realized that above his head, Jared was absorbing the flaming energy from within them.
At that moment, the flame vortex surrounding Jared had gradually vanished, yet Jared was still unaware of Maurice’s presence.
He could have never imagined that Maurice would be at his feet.
After all, Maurice didn’t possess fire soul essence, so there was no way he could stay in the deepest part of the abyss for an extended period of time.
Upon discovering Jared, Maurice felt his breathing start to become labored.
Maurice’s palm was seen wreathed in a swirling black flame, which coalesced into a menacing black arrow.
Whoosh!
The arrow was released, piercing through the molten lava in an instant. It cut through the intense flames like a meteor, heading straight for Jared.
With a thunderous explosion, the entire river of lava began to boil.
When the explosion subsided, Maurice was taken aback to find that Jared was still above his head, seemingly unaffected by the attack at all.
