Once Montane Daemon and the rest registered it, they began running toward the spirit ship by the shore. Everyone scrambled to board it. Then, the spirit ship sped away from the island and only stopped when it was dozens of miles away from the island.
“Jared! Jared!” Quinley shouted. Jared was on the island, facing the frightening flame lotus in the sky. She could not help but wonder if he could survive it.
“Will Mr. Chance be all right?”
Cloud’s concern was apparent in his eyes, but he knew that he could not get on the island with his ability, let alone save Jared. “He’ll be fine. He’s far more powerful than we imagine.”
Montane Daemon had endless trust in Jared, for everything Jared had done so far had always taken him aback.
As soon as everyone had evacuated the island, Jared’s Golem Body shone with the utmost brilliance, and he was also surrounded by a layer of flames. In Jared’s nascence space, his fire nascence constellation had become bright. He was planning to fight fire with fire.
Bone Cliff’s flames were only the fire of the Earth’s core, but Jared’s fire nascence was derived from demonic fire. His fire was more potent than Bone Cliff’s.
However, Bone Cliff had reached a state of desperation, and fear was no longer a consideration. Otherwise, he would not have expanded the flame lotus to such an extent.
When Bone Cliff saw that Jared hadn’t fled and was instead confronting him, he sneered, “You don’t stand a chance, kid. No being can endure the flame lotus, and even this island will be erased from the face of the Earth.”
“It’s not up to you to decide. There are many people who want to kill me, including formidable ancient beings, but I’m still alive and well. This won’t be any exception!” Jared retorted with disdain as he harnessed the power of his demonic fire nascence.
Instead of replying to Jared, Bone Cliff descended rapidly. The giant flame lotus crashed toward the island. His gaze fixed on the flame lotus, Jared stood straight as roars of dragons sounded within him.
Although Jared was shrouded by flames, the flames seemed insignificant in the face of the flame lotus. Despite that, Jared did not cower.
“Die!”
The flame lotus ultimately descended upon the island with a resounding crash. The entire island was engulfed in a vast sea of flames. Waves towering as high as a hundred meters rose from the sea, crashing relentlessly in all directions.
The spirit ship was not immune to the influence of the waves, and it rocked perilously as if it was about to capsize at any moment.
“Jared!” Quinley yelled in despair upon witnessing the scene. The others shared their concern for Jared as well. After all, even a Tribulator cultivator would find it challenging to emerge unscathed from such a predicament, let alone a Body Fusion Realm cultivator like Jared.
“Ugh!”
Bone Cliff coughed out a mouthful of blood as he swayed. After the attack, he knew his time was ticking.
The flames continued to rage on the island. The entire island had sunk, leaving only one-tenth of its surface still visible above the Night Sea. It looked as though it was going to sink into the sea in no time.
As the flames gradually went out, Bone Cliff cast a glance at the island, where only a small piece of land remained above water. To his delight, Jared was nowhere to be found.
His lips quirked up, for even a cultivator mightier than Jared would have trouble fleeing from the attack.
He was certain that Jared had been reduced to ashes. After all, it was the fire of the Earth’s core, with a temperature reaching tens of thousands of degrees. How could Jared possibly withstand such extreme heat?
