“A-A fire unicorn?” Braxton’s voice faltered, the disbelief clear. “That’s impossible! How could a low-level wandering cultivator like have a celestial beast?”
The Caxton Continent cultivators stood frozen, their mouths wide open in stunned silence.
“Oh my god! That’s the legendary celestial beast!”
“Mr. Chance actually has a fire unicorn helping him!”
Flaxseed was shaking with excitement. “Hahaha! I knew this kid was hiding something big!”
The fire unicorn cast a dismissive glance at Braxton before turning into a streak of fiery light and disappearing back into Jared’s Storage Ring.
Jared broke free from his restraints. The spiritual energy that had been suppressed roared back, stronger than ever.
“Braxton, you really thought this would be enough to kill me?” Jared said with a mocking grin. He flipped his hand, and the Divine Bow appeared in his grasp.
“The Divine Bow?” Braxton’s face drained of color as fear finally crept into his eyes.
“You broke your promise. Weren’t we supposed to fight without outside help?” Braxton accused.
“I didn’t call for backup. That unicorn beast is my pet. If you’re so capable, go ahead and summon your own celestial beast. I won’t say a word,” Jared shot back coldly.
Braxton looked like had just swallowed something bitter.
Where am I supposed to find a celestial beast to use as a pet?
Jared slowly drew the bowstring. The marked aura surged wildly around him, and an arrow, radiant like starlight, formed from thin air.
“With this arrow, I’ll send you off…”
Whoosh!
The arrow tore through the sky, dimming the heavens and the earth itself.
Braxton, panicked, activated every defensive magical item bad. But in front of the Divine Bow, all his defenses crumbled like paper.
Boom!
Pfft!
A geyser of blood erupted from his mouth. Braxton staggered forward, nearly collapsing, but barely managed to hold himself up.
He turned with great effort to face Jared, eyes filled with terror. “W-Who are you, really?”
How could someone with so many divine weapons and a celestial beast just be an ordinary Wandering Immortal Realm Level One cultivator?
Back in the Ethereal Realm, Braxton had lost too, restricted to being just a divine soul. Jared had only beaten then by relying on possession. But now, had defeated head-on, even though was only at Wandering immortal Realm Level One, while Braxton stood at level five.
The fire unicorn had helped, but it was Jared’s strength, fighting way beyond his cultivation level, that truly shook Braxton.
Jared put away the Divine Bow and slowly unsheathed the Dragonslayer Sword. Pointing it straight at Braxton, said coolly,
“Someone you really don’t want to mess with…”
Then, in a flash, Jared vanished.
The next instant, was right in front of Braxton, the tip of his sword pressing against the man’s throat.
“Now, do you admit defeat?” Jared asked.
A deadly silence fell over the entire place. Everyone held still, waiting for the outcome of this legendary clash.
Braxton’s face was a storm of emotions-struggle, rage, and deep resentment. But in the end, all that was replaced by a crushing defeat.
Lowering his head, spoke hoarsely, “I… I concede…”
Getting a celestial to admit defeat was no small feat. Braxton was shocked by Jared’s power, but more than that, was worried. His children were still in Jared’s hands.
“He’s won! Mr. Chance has won!”
A moment later, cheers exploded across the Caxton Continent. Cultivators cried out in joy, hugging each other as they celebrated.
One elderly man collapsed to his knees, tears streaming down his wrinkled face. “The heavens have heard us… Caxton Continent still has hope…”
Flaxseed was bursting with joy, dancing with wild limbs. in the middle of his excitement, tripped on his own robe and fell flat on his back, but didn’t care. He just kept laughing.
Jhaelyn fell to the ground in disbelief, delicate face pale. “No… It can’t be… My father lost… He actually lost…”
At that moment, all pride crumbled. Her eyes went blank, stunned by what had just happened.
