Taking in that scene, the man first felt shocked, then relieved. He smiled faintly and said, “This is unexpected, truly unexpected. A man possessing the Power of Three. Perhaps you’re the person destined to reshape the Heavenly Law.”
After saying that, the man gently waved his sleeve, and Jared’s body instantly detached from the draconic essence. Immediately afterward, the draconic essence radiated light and gradually entered Jared’s body.
Jared seemed to feel that too. He closed his eyes, and the draconic essence within him shone with dazzling light as it merged with the new draconic essence flowing into his body. At the same time, that man’s figure slowly turned transparent and ultimately disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, far away in a place of extreme cold in the Ethereal Realm, a massive palace floated in midair. That palace gave off a majestic aura and took up a vast area. It hung in the sky, obscured by the clouds so that it was only faintly discernible, much like a fairyland.
Antiquated furniture adorned a room inside the palace, and wisps of incense smoke wafted int the air. An elderly man with a white beard, sitting on a chair, slowly opened his eyes. “After so many years, someone has actually refined my demonic fire.”
The old man’s eyes were pensive and ablaze with dancing flames. At that moment, a girl in a fiery red dress with her body covered in burning flames entered.
“Master, an Inferno Devil’s Form has appeared in the southwest. Could this be our chance?” the girl asked the old man. “An Inferno Devil’s Form has appeared? No wonder my demonic fire could be refined by someone.”
“Lynette, go and find this Inferno Devil’s Form, and gather our disciples on your way. The other demons are also here in the Ethereal Realm. I can sense their presence! Perhaps the day for us demons to rise has truly arrived!” The elder’s eyes gleamed, and his voice was laced with hints of excitement. Lynette nodded. “Understood.”
In the next second, her body transformed into a ball of fire and quickly disappeared. Meanwhile, Jared gradually opened his eyes. He noticed that man was gone, and the draconic essence within him was shining brightly, surging with the Power of Dragons and buffeting him incessantly like tidal waves.
“This is it. This is the moment I’ll achieve a breakthrough.” Jared hurriedly channeled the Power of Dragons in his body to circulate within his elixir field. Countless dark clouds began to gather in the sky, ultimately converging in the space atop the medicinal pool.
At the same time, the chaotic battle dragged on in the main hall of Emerald Cauldron Sect. Ghaylen had sustained multiple injuries, and his aura had grown weak. As for Viola, she looked pale, and blood was gushing from several wounds on her body.
Countless corpses of the disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect lay cold on the ground. Those Demonic Cultivators were ruthless, killing one disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect with each. strike. Hosen was also in a sorry state at that point. A tense expression spread across his countenance.
Even after they joined forces, they still couldn’t deal with those Demonic Cultivators led there by Ebenez. Everyone felt hopeless. If that situation persisted, only inevitable death awaited them.
“Ebenez, since you wish to become the lord of Emerald Cauldron Sect, I’ll let you have it. As long as you spare my life, I’ll leave Emerald Cauldron Sect at once, and the position will be yours.” Hosen conceded.
At that instant, his only wish was to survive. Ebenez glanced at Hosen and sneered, “All these disciples wouldn’t have had to be sacrificed if you had made this decision sooner. You may leave. I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Ebenez allowed Hosen to depart. After all, he only aimed to become Emerald Cauldron Sect’s leader, not to push everyone in the sect to the brink of desperation and kill them. If he truly wiped out all of the disciples, his taking over the position as the leader would be pointless.
After acquiring Ebenez’s permission to leave, Hosen leaped up and escaped without a moment of hesitation.
Hosen left and headed straight for Norwal City. He was naturally unwilling to give up his position just like that, so he wanted to leverage Norwal City’s powers to reclaim his status as the leader.
