“Mr. Vermilion, what cultivation level are you at?” Jared turned to Vermilion Demon Lord and asked.
“I’m not at any cultivation level. Stop asking…” Vermilion Demon Lord snapped, clearly annoyed.
Jared was taken aback, was just trying to get a read on Vermilion Demon Lord’s cultivation level.
How did that turn into irritation?
But since was told to drop it, did.
“Let’s just find a way out first,” Jared said.
Flaxseed and Reidan both nodded in agreement.
The three of them took to the sky together. With the entire area engulfed in thick black mist, they had completely lost their sense of direction. Their only option was to fly straight up and hope for the best
Fortunately, this place didn’t seem to restrict flight, so Jared and the others soared freely.
As they ascended, Flaxseed led the charge, plowing through cage after cage without hesitation. It was impossible to tell how many he’d shattered on the way up.
Ever since Flaxseed regained his memories, his strength had skyrocketed, so much so that Jared couldn’t compete anymore.
They wandered like this for what felt like an eternity. The black mist stretched endlessly in all directions, leaving them feeling trapped inside a giant, invisible cage.
“If this keeps up, we’re never getting out. We’ll drop dead from exhaustion first!” Flaxseed grumbled, rolling his eyes.
“This won’t work. We need to find the exit. We’re just aimlessly flying around,” Jared said.
“But we don’t have a clue where the exit is,” Reidan replied.
“Then maybe it’s time I try burning this place to the ground,” Jared said, his voice resolute.
He was ready to unleash his internal flame. If that was what it took to escape, then so be it. Even If the heat scorched them in the process, it would be worth it if they could break free.
“Mr. Chance, you’re not planning to roast us alive, too, are you?” Reidan asked, a bit wary.
Even though was far stronger than Jared, wasn’t about to underestimate him
“Relax. You’ll be fine.” As Jared spoke, fire burst from his palm. But this wasn’t just any flame, it was a fire fusion technique, radiating a blistering heat.
With a sweeping motion, Jared cast the fire outward. In an instant, the black mist was replaced by roaring flames that surged in all directions.
Screams soon rang out, likely from those trapped in the surrounding cages, unable to withstand the searing heat.
“Mr. Chance, there are probably a lot of people imprisoned here, right?!” Reidan asked.
“Jared, is your fire going to burn them all alive?” Flaxseed added.
“No. My internal flame only targets demons. It won’t harm human cultivators,” Jared reassured them.
He had already considered that the prisoners here were likely fellow human cultivators. The internal flame was designed specifically to incinerate demons.
The walls they were hearing belonged to demon cultivators caught in the blaze.
As the flames raged, waves of frosty energy rushed in, trying to resist the fire. But the frosty energy was no match for the internal flame consuming it.
Within moments, the frosty energy had completely dissipated. Then, right before them, a vortex appeared, its core pulling in the surrounding internal flame and spinning them into a fire dragon.
Jared’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go. That might be our exit…”
Without hesitation, Jared, Flaxseed, and Reidan dove straight into the vortex. As they did, the internal flame around them disappeared, and they found themselves sucked Into the vortex’s core.
“Stay sharp, this place reeks of lethal intent!” Jared warned them.
No sooner had spoken than black mist surged in from all sides, filled with eerie, distorted ghost faces, enough to make anyone’s blood run cold.
“Hmph, trying to scare us?” Jared scoffed, summoning his Dragonslayer Sword, the blade blazing with fire.
These things, internal flame was their worst enemy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jared struck repeatedly, each blow radiating searing heat from his internal flame. The ghost faces shattered one after another under his assauh.
