Watching the sudden extinguishing of the flame aura, everyone was left dumbfounded, having no clue what had just happened.
Once everyone had gathered around, they discovered, inexplicably, that the Divine Flame Seal had somehow ended up in Jared’s hands.
One must understand that becoming the chosen one for the Divine Flame Seal was no easy task, and not everyone was capable of being acknowledged by it.
Now that the Divine Flame Seal was in Jared’s hands, it meant that the seal had already acknowledged Jared as its master.
How could it be possible that in such a short span of time, the Divine Flame Seal moved from Berthold’s hands to Jared’s?
No one knew exactly what had happened.
One by one, they all looked at Jared in disbelief. Harlan was utterly astonished, exclaiming, “Berthold, what’s going on? How did the Divine Flame Seal end up in his hands?”
Berthold remained silent, his mind was already in a daze. At that moment, his eyes were filled with fear.
Once a person’s heart succumbed to fear, they were utterly doomed.
“Jared, I’ve lost, I’ve lost. Please spare my life…”
Astoundingly, Berthold was actually pleading for mercy with Jared.
Berthold’s sudden plea for mercy left everyone utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend what he had just experienced.
Even Harlan himself hadn’t expected that his own son would actually plead for mercy.
“Spare your life?”
A playful smirk played on Jared’s face as the Divine Flame Seal in his hand suddenly burst forth with a surge of flame aura.
Boom!
Suddenly, Berthold was engulfed in flames, his screams of agony echoing from his lips. In just a fleeting moment, Berthold was completely reduced to ashes.
Harlan didn’t even have time to come to the rescue.
The scene was utterly silent.
Berthold, who was in the Ultimate Realm, was inconceivably begged for mercy by Jared, a Fifth Level Tribulator. In the end, he was even burned alive.
If someone had told them in the past that a Fifth Level Tribulator could defeat an Ultimate Realm cultivator, they would have never believed it. They would’ve even berated the person for suggesting such nonsense.
However, now, they all believed it, because they had seen it with their own eyes.
Harlan stared at Berthold, who had turned into ashes. His face froze, his body subtly trembling.
Everyone else was left with their mouths agape, utterly astonished.
“My son, my dear son…”
Harlan roared in fury.
With a deep rumble…
The sky started to steadily fill with clusters of red clouds.
Accompanied by a terrifying burst of fire and thunder, it suddenly descended, heading straight for Jared.
“Jared, be careful…”
Seeing the situation, Gael leapt into action.
He had been wary of Harlan for a long time. He knew this man, upon seeing his own son’s death, would undoubtedly rise in fury!
Gael hovered over Jared, emanating waves of energy from within, forming a formidable defensive shield.
Harlan was indeed a master of Ultimate Realm, far surpassing the likes of Berthold who had only recently advanced to the same level.
If he took a swing at Jared, there was no way Jared could have held his own.
Moreover, Jared had just been through a major battle and hadn’t had any time to rest.
Gael gritted his teeth, standing firm against the terrifying onslaught of the flame lightning.
Although Gael’s strength was not inferior to that of Harlan, it was a pity that Gael’s consciousness had been damaged and had not fully recovered. Therefore, he wasn’t able to unleash his full potential.
Jared lifted his gaze to Gael who was desperately defending him. His heart was deeply stirred.
“Mr. Ortiz, you don’t need to shield me,” he said. “Even if I stand still, Harlan wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on me.”
After Jared finished speaking, the Divine Flame Seal in his hand instantly erupted with sky- piericing flames.
The flame lightning was immediately shattered by this fiery strike-they weren’t even on the same level.
Both Gael and Harlan stared at Jared in utter shock. It was important to know they had all used the Divine Flame Seal before. They were well aware of the immense power of the flames it could unleash.
However, the sky-piericing flames that had just erupted should not have been something the Divine Flame Seal could produce.
