As a plume of blue smoke rose, Jared and Judith felt as though they were enveloped by spiritual energy.
Subsequently, time and space seemed to warp before their eyes, and they vanished in an instant.
Jared strained to open his eyes, eager to see where this Teleportation Pearl was taking them.
However, all that met his eyes was a blur of rushing white light. Nothing was clearly visible.
Jared could distinctly feel his body being propelled forward by an unseen force.
By the time Skylar arrived, he discovered that Jared and Judith had already disappeared.
He repeatedly attempted to use the ghost face’s eye to pinpoint Jared’s location. Despite several tries, he failed, as if they had vanished into thin air.
“Damn it, those two managed to escape. What kind of technique was that, allowing two people to vanish into thin air!”
“I think Judith used a Teleportation Pearl. I recall Ten Thousand Sword Sect having such an item.”
“That Teleportation Pearl is worth a fortune. I can’t believe Judith was actually willing to use it. During the time we had her surrounded, she didn’t even consider using it.”
“Thats because she didn’t have the chance to use it. If she had taken out the Teleportation Pearl, we would have snatched it from her already!”
Several Demonic Cultivators voiced their discontent vehemently.
Skylar had a stern look on his face as he surveyed his surroundings. With a casual wave of his hand, the ghost face vanished.
Immediately after, he took out an incredibly compact geomantic compass. He bit his finger, pressing a drop of blood onto the surface of the compass.
The compass instantly radiated a crimson glow. He closed his eyes, immersing himself in a state of tranquility.
At that point, Jared and Judith had no idea just how far they had been teleported. When they finally made out their surroundings, they found themselves in the midst of a vast, endless sea, with absolutely no land in sight.
“Where… are we? Please tell me we’re not in the heart of the Dead Sea. If we can’t find an island, we’re doomed,” Judith exclaimed in alarm.
Without a place to land, they were solely reliant on the spiritual energy within them to fly. They feared they would plunge into the Dead Sea if they couldn’t find solid ground.
Jared and Judith had been through a great battle, which had drained them significantly. They hardly had the energy left for flight.
“Let’s make the most of our time and recuperate first. Only after we’ve regained our strength can we expedite our search for the mainland,” Jared said.
“But how? We don’t even have a place to rest. If we continue to deplete ourselves like this, we might fall into the Dead Sea before we get the chance to recover.” Judith wore a speechless expression as she spoke.
“Since we have nowhere to go, let’s recover under the sea. This way, we can avoid being hunted down. They would never expect us to be in the depths of the sea.”
“Stop messing around. No one can venture into the Dead Sea. Haven’t you noticed that those who fall into it turn into mere skeletons? My half-scarred face is the result of an unfortunate encounter with the Dead Sea. I was burned and left with these marks. I’ve vowed to never approach the sea again,” Judith, touching half of her face, said with lingering fear.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. The sea can’t harm you. Have you forgotten? I emerged from the ground. I’ve spent time at the bottom of the sea before.”
Jared promptly grabbed Judith and headed straight for the sea.
Judith began to struggle, but she simply could not break free.
The two of them plunged into the Dead Sea. Judith was terrified. However, she soon realized that, despite being in the Dead Sea, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of heat. On the contrary, there was a slight chill, which was surprisingly comforting.
“What on earth is going on?” Judith, with a face full of surprise, asked.
Jared merely smiled. “I’ve told you, as long as I’m here, the sea can’t harm you.”
Jared possessed not only fire nascence but also a unique internal flame known as extremus frost flame. The mere release of a trace of this flame could cause the surrounding heat waves to dissipate.
