The blow went straight through Berthold, severing one of his arms in the process. Stumbling, Berthold fell from mid-air.
In the moment Berthold fell, Jared seized the opportunity and struck again. There was another flash of white light, and one of Berthold’s legs was detached from his body.
When Berthold dropped to the ground, he was unable to stand and could only sit. Following that, Jared marched toward the pathetic Berthold.
“Berthold!” Harlan roared, wanting to attack, but Gael was quicker and blocked the former’s path.
Everyone else just stood there, staring blankly. By that point, everyone was simply observing.
“Jared, don’t think that I’ve lost. I still have the Divine Flame Seal. I’ll make sure you meet your end!” Berthold roared in anger, continuously channeling his internal flame into the Divine Flame Seal.
The Divine Flame Seal erupted with a breathtaking flame aura that enveloped the entire Violet Flame Sect.
Even Gael, Harlan, and the others found it hard to bear.
The area was promptly engulfed in flames. The intensity of the flame aura was even more ferocious than that of Divine Flame Mountain.
“Berthold, what are you doing? Stop it right now!” Harlan cried out in shock and dismay.
He wasn’t worried about Berthold but rather the Divine Flame Seal.
After all, Berthold seemed intent on detonating the Divine Flame Seal, prepared to take everyone down with him.
Gael was utterly astounded at that moment. He hadn’t anticipated that Berthold would go to such extreme lengths, willing to drag the entire Violet Flame Clan down with him.
“Retreat! Everyone, retreat!” Gael was the first to leap up, shouting loudly.
Everyone hurriedly fled toward the distance, evading the terrifying flame aura.
Juliet gazed at Jared, unwilling to leave. She yelled out to him. “Jared, run away quickly! Berthold is about to detonate the Divine Flame Seal! He’s planning to perish with everyone!”
Yet, it was as if Jared hadn’t heard a thing as he remained still.
“Juliet, we must leave now. There’s no time to waste.” Judd, gripping Juliet’s hand tightly, frantically fled.
Everyone had fled from Violet Flame Sect, standing at a distance and silently observing. The entire Violet Flame Sect was enveloped in flame aura.
Jared stared at the frenzied Berthold, his countenance terrifyingly calm.
Upon seeing that Jared neither fled nor showed fear, Berthold asked in puzzlement. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“Why should I when I won’t die?” Jared smiled.
“I know you possess the True Fire Spiritual body and so isn’t afraid of internal flames. However, once this Divine Flame Seal is detonated, you’ll still be dead, regardless of what spiritual body you have. When the time comes, the entire Violet Flame Sect will cease to exist, and we will all turn into dust,” Berthold said fiercely.
“It won’t happen, because the Divine Flame Seal can’t explode!” Jared exclaimed.
“Why?” Berthold was taken aback.
“Because your Divine Flame Seal is nothing but an empty shell. The true seal soul of the Divine Flame Seal is with me.” After Jared finished speaking, he gently opened his palm.
The seal soul was pulsating in the center of his hand.
“Seal soul? How come I’ve never heard of it before?” Berthold was dumbfounded.
“There’s a lot you’ve never heard about. Dol need to tell you everything?” After Jared finished speaking, the soul imprint in his palm leaped straight into mid-air.
A strange suction force directly sucked Berthold’s Divine Flame Seal.
Following that, the seal soul started to merge with the Divine Flame Seal!
Seeing the situation, Berthold desperately wanted to intervene. However, he discovered that his connection with the Divine Flame Seal had vanished.
At that moment, Berthold panicked because he realized that what Jared said was actually true.
As the Divine Flame Seal started to merge with the seal soul, Jared began to control it. With a wave of Jared’s hand, the Divine Flame Seal returned to his grasp.
At the same time, the terrifying aura that enveloped Violet Flame Sect vanished instantly as if nothing had ever happened.
