With a sweep of Skylar’s hand, a wisp of dark energy solidified into a long sword, which favonovel.com swung directly toward Jared. His aura erupted with such force that the surrounding sea churned as if boiling.
The long sword sliced through the air, scattering Into countless black glimmers, causing the entire void to tremble.
Jared’s indestructible aura flared in response. He brandished his Dragonslayer Sword, each swing unleashing waves of sword energy that transformed into a series of fire dragons.
In the fleeting instant when Jared and Skylar’s swords collided, the ethereal glow surrounding them was extinguished.
The sheer force of their clash flung the nearby Demonic Cultivators back, each watching in terror as the scene unfolded.
The waters of the Dead Sea reversed, creating a canyon beneath Jared and Skylar’s feet. The sea within the entire Demon Annihilation Formation had drained away, exposing the formation’s intricate layout.
Atop the towering peaks, the array’s runes flickered continuously, while vast quantities of flint in the heart of the canyon were consumed at a rapid pace.
Maintaining the Demon Annihilation Formation for even a minute was a herculean task.
Over a dozen Demonic Cultivators could only watch helplessly, fending off the relentless spiritual light attacks, unable to assist Skylar directly.
Jared had already exchanged a hundred blows with Skylar. Though it felt like they had just begun, each clash sent shockwaves rippling through the void, causing discomfort for the nearby Demon Cultivators.
A twitch tugged at the corner of Skylar’s eye; after so many exchanges, they had gauged each other’s true strength.
“Jared, I know you’re the golden boy of the mundane world!” Skylar remarked, a hint of surprise in his voice. “But I didn’t expect you to be so formidable here in the Ethereal Realm. Despite being just a Seventh-Level Tribulator, you’re somehow matching my strength at the Ultimate Realm Level Two. But no matter how resilient you are, I’m determined to slay you today. I won’t let this opportunity slip away!”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, the black energy surrounding Skylar coalesced into the form of a demon beast, which lunged at Jared, jaws wide open.
In a swift motion, Jared swung his Dragonslayer Sword, cleaving the beast in two with a radiant arc. Yet, to his surprise, the beast didn’t pause, it instantly split into two and renewed its assault.
Boom!
The two beasts struck Jared head-on, forcing favonovel.com back, and a crack even began to appear on his seemingly indestructible Golem Body. Then, a glow flickered from the draconic essence on his chest, and gradually, a massive fire dragon materialized behind him.
Jared knew that a simple fire dragon formed from sword energy wouldn’t be enough to face Skylar.
The fire dragon roared, engaging the demon beast formed from black energy. Yet each time the beast was torn apart, it split again, multiplying into numerous demon beasts.
Before long, the fire dragon was surrounded, its strength waning as it became overpowered.
Jared’s brow furrowed when favonovel.com saw that. He couldn’t fathom the trickery Skylar was employing; if things continued this way, the entire formation would be overrun with beasts transformed from the black energy.
“Mr. Vermilion, what’s going on here? How can this creature, formed by demonic energy, keep splitting apart?” Jared asked the Vermillion Demon Lord, bewildered.
“You didn’t notice, did you? Skylar’s holding a cauldron,” the Vermillion Demon Lord replied. “That cauldron is constantly emitting demonic aura. It’s an absorbing artifact!”
“The intense energy you’ve released was absorbed by the cauldron and stored for later use. It’s releasing that energy now, fueling these beasts to keep splitting. You need to destroy the cauldron, or better yet, snatch it from him.”
At that moment, Jared finally noticed Skylar clutching a small cauldron in his hand. From within its hollowed core, a steady stream of demonic aura emanated!
