Listening to Jared’s words, Trystan hesitated. At this moment, Serena and Clifford quickly interjected, “Master, please heed Mr. Chadwick’s advice. Perhaps it might indeed lead to success. If you continue to hesitate, I’m afraid you might truly miss your chance!”
Finally, Trystan nodded and said, “All right, then. Let’s give it a try…”
Since death was inevitable either way, they decided to make a last-ditch effort.
Upon seeing that Trystan had agreed, Jared stepped forward and placed his hand on Trystan’s wrist. A surge of spiritual energy instantly entered Trystan’s body, swiftly circulating within him.
Jared’s brows were tightly furrowed as he uttered in a subdued tone, “His internal organs have already deteriorated, and his body is filled with a strong wave of death energy. What’s even more difficult is that there are signs of his soul beginning to dissipate.”
“Mr. Chadwick, our Soul Demon Sect possesses pills that can strengthen the soul. Therefore, you need not worry about the spiritual aspect. We have ways to protect your master’s soul from dissipating. Mr. Chadwick, I implore you not to let my master’s health continue to deteriorate. His life force must not diminish any further…” Serena said to Jared.
“Very well, Ms. Pruitt. Please fetch the pill. There’s no time to delay. I will assist Mr. Pruitt in breaking through his current cultivation level immediately,” Jared responded.
Serena nodded, quickly fetching the pill. Meanwhile, Jared offered the pills he had been refining over the past two days, insisting that Trystan take them.
After taking the pills, Trystan could feel a surge of aura coursing through his body. He was on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck of his cultivation level.
However, this was also the most perilous moment. The instant the bottleneck was broken through, a lightning tribulation was bound to descend.
Given the current state of Trystan’s health, they feared the first lightning tribulation might reduce him to ashes.
Serena also brought forth the pill that protected the soul from dispersing and had Trystan consume it.
Clifford, puzzled, asked Jared, “Mr. Chadwick, under these circumstances, could Master withstand the lightning tribulation? You must understand that the lightning tribulation cannot be directly taken on by another person. If it were possible for someone else to take his place, we, the dozens of disciples from Soul Demon Sect, would willingly face the lightning tribulation for our master.”
He couldn’t comprehend what method Jared had used that allowed Trystan to survive the terrifying lightning tribulation, especially in such a weakened state.
“My method isn’t foolproof, but there’s always a chance!”
After Jared finished speaking, he looked solemnly at Trystan and asked, “Mr. Pruitt, how much longer will it take to break through the cultivation level?”
“Anytime, really. I’m just trying my best to keep it under control right now. Otherwise, the lightning tribulation could strike down at any moment.” At that moment, Trystan was also in a state of panic. Even though his life force had run its course, he still wouldn’t wish for death.
If there was a chance to live, he would surely seize it tightly.
“Mr. Pruitt, go ahead and break through. What must be, must be…”
After Jared finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Trystan. A surge of the Power of Dragons from within him flowed into Trystan’s body.
“This… T-This power…” Trystan suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at Jared in disbelief!
Trystan felt so peculiar that even his voice began to tremble.
“Mr. Pruitt, perhaps my strength can assist you, but it also depends on your own willpower, on your belief in your own survival,” Jared said to Trystan.
“I understand…” Trystan nodded emphatically.
At that moment, Trystan’s eyes were filled with hope, and he seemed to have regained his life force energy in an instant.
Serena and Clifford were extremely curious about the changes in Trystan. They wondered what kind of power Jared had actually used on Trystan.
As Jared infused the Power of Dragons into Trystan’s body, he simultaneously used his spiritual sense to check on the little Celestial Devourer sleeping soundly within his Storage Ring.
Jared knew that even his own Power of Dragons couldn’t fully shield Trystan from the lightning tribulation. In the end, Trystan would have to withstand it with his own body.
