However, at levels below level three, Jared should be nearly Invincible. Once advanced to the next cultivation level, could easily defeat anyone on level three.
Cultivators who had reached beyond the Wandering Immortal Realm had all broken through the restraints of level three and headed to level four. After all, only a cultivator on level four could truly be considered an Immortal.
“Mr. Vermilion, could you appear inside the tower and have a spar with me? I feel full of power right now, and I want to find someone to test it out!” Jared said to Vermilion Demon Lord.
“What? You want to spar with me?” Vermilion Demon Lord sneered.
“I just want to give it a shot. You’re just a soul now, so it should be okay to try!” Jared replied.
Vermilion Demon Lord remarked, “My, you’re already cocky from being at a mere Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four. What makes you think you can spar with me? If I say I could defeat you single-handedly, It’d make me seem like I lack compassion. But let me tell you this, I can wipe you out with just a breath.”
After a moment of pause, continued, “Even though you’re already at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four, you’re still no more than an ant to me. I could drown you with a whiz! I’d advise you to keep a low profile…”
“This is the celestial realm. You’re relatively safe in levels below level three, but once you enter level three, you never know when you might cross paths with an expert. If you keep showing off like this, It’s entirely possible for you to die from a single spit…”
Hearing this, Jared was rendered speechless.
Originally, all wanted was to spar with Vermilion Demon Lord inside the Pentacarna Tower to test his current strength. Unexpectedly, a scolding from Vermilion Demon Lord dampened his confidence.
Nevertheless, Vermilion Demon Lord was right. Jared’s current abilities might allow to get by on level three, but if were to venture into level four and face the entire celestial realm, would be utterly powerless.
Jared ignored Vermilion Demon Lord and turned to speak to Jemima. “Jemima, let’s go…”
Jemima nodded and followed Jared out of the Pentacarna Tower.
Although only a few hours had passed outside, It had already been over ten days inside the tower. Otherwise, Jared wouldn’t have been able to make such a rapid breakthrough.
“Where are we going?” Jemima asked.
“Let’s head home first…” Jared decided to return to the Murray residence first, thinking of having Jemima stay with Douglas for a while before bringing to Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall.
No sooner had Jared arrived at the Murray residence with Jemima than spotted an elderly man dressed in black hovering above the Murray residence.
Douglas, along with the rest of the Murray family, was in a stalemate with the elderly man in black.
However, Aelnod Oxenbrigg, the elderly man in black, was at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Eight. The Murray family was no match for him, so they never made a move.
Aelnod did not lay a hand on the Murray family either, simply staying in the void quietly.
Jemima approached Douglas and asked, “Father, who is he?”
Douglas shook his head. “I don’t know him, but he’s looking for Jared…”
“He’s looking for me?” Jared furrowed his brows and turned to Aelnod. “Who are you? What do you want from me?”
“Are you Jared Chance?” Aelnod inquired.
“That’s right…” Jared nodded in affirmation.
“Do you have magical items from the ancient ruins with you?”
At that, Jared glanced at Aelnod and retorted, “What’s it to you?”
It was clear that Aelnod harbored ill intentions.
“How disrespectful of you!” Aelnod frowned, his figure taking on an unreal quality. At the same time, countless chains materialized around Jared, ensnaring in an instant.
Black lightning bolts surged along the chains, striking at Jared relentlessly.
“Jared!”
Both Jemima and Douglas were utterly shocked. They hadn’t expected Aelnod to strike without warning.
Right when the lightning bolts were about to strike Jared, a tremendous boom erupted.
The next second, a golden light emitted from the Dragonslayer Sword pierced through the black lightning bolts and headed straight for Aelnod.
Aelnod narrowed his eyes, surprised that Jared still had the strength to resist. In a swift motion, waved his hand, sending a streak of black light to meet Jared’s attack head-on.
Boom!
With a loud bang, both of them retreated at the same time.
