Boom!
The ice soul beast’s soul remnant was made of strands of blood in the first place and had no physical body. For that reason, it promptly started contorting under the demonic fire’s attack.
The demonic fire made it so that its consciousness started to dissipate. But still, it did not give up making a last-ditch struggle.
The frost energy within it expanded incessantly in hopes of extinguishing the demonic fire. Alas, the demonic fire was not so easily doused.
At the sight of the struggling ice soul beast’s soul remnant, Jared pulled out Dragonslayer Sword and floated back to the ground. The demonic fire continued blazing within the body of the ice soul, otherwise known as a soul remnant.
“Will the ice soul beast’s soul remnant be burned to death, Jared?” Viola asked.
“Yeah…” Jared was very much confident in the demonic fire.
Everyone silently watched the ice soul beast’s soul remnant struggle, hoping it would be burned to death as soon as possible.
Right then, the ice soul beast’s soul remnant persisted in pouring out frost energy. But no matter how much it did so, it could not extinguish the demonic fire. Instead, it made the flames blaze even more fierily.
The icy frost energy around them slowly became scorching hot, and the ice soul beast’s soul remnant’s body also gradually turned illusory. Finally, it disappeared bit by bit and became a drop of bright red blood.
That drop of blood fell on the strange pattern in the middle of the five ice coffins, upon which the pattern emitted a glaring red light before absorbing it. Eventually, the glow faded, and everything reverted to the usual peacefulness. However, the color of the pattern became even more vivid, making Jared frown slightly.
“Could it be that this pattern is dyed red by the ice soul beast’s blood little by little?” His curiosity was greatly piqued.
But just as favonovel.com planned to study the pattern up close, the two Demonic Cultivators leaped down from the top of the palace without warning. They had not entered the state of cultivation but had secretly kept an eye on the movements of Jared and the others.
“Is something the matter, gentlemen? I merely want to take a look at this pattern. Why are you stopping me?” Jared asked.
“As a human cultivator, why do you possess demonic fire? Don’t tell me you’re also a demon?” one of them demanded with his eyes fixed on the man.
“Do you two not know whether I’m a demon?” Jared smirked.
The two men seemed to have perceived something from his smile and grinned as well. Subsequently, a demon aura burst forth from them. They no longer bothered to keep up the act. Since Jared had already seen through them, there was no need to do so anymore.
“Demonic Cultivators! They’re indeed Demonic Cultivators!”
Sensing the duo’s auras, Cloud, Vasily, and the others were all shocked.
“It was you two who set up this place?” Jared asked, seeing that they had already exposed their identities.
It was not the Archaic Body cultivator’s treasure site there. Moreover, the palace and ice coffins were obviously man-made, so someone had likely set the place up.
“You think too highly of us. It was our leader who set this place up. We’re only responsible for leading people in,” one of the men replied placidly.
“Inferno Devil?” Jared asked.
“Yes. But since you know Inferno Devil’s demonic fire, you must have some inextricable relationship with Inferno Devil. As such, we decided to bring you out.”
“Bring me out? How about the others?” Jared asked, his brows furrowed.
“Others? They’ll naturally become offerings and never leave this place!” the man sneered.
Cloud and the others were instantly enraged. They swarmed forward and surrounded the two men.
“We’re offerings? What exactly is going on here? Don’t dream of leaving this place if you don’t make things clear!” Cloud roared.
“Haha… Since we dared reveal our identities, we’re naturally not afraid that you’d make a move against us.” The man laughed heartily, showing no hint of fear.
