Upon witnessing the scene, Cassius was frightened and kept his distance. Meanwhile, Trystan furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with regret and sorrow.
After all, he was a fellow disciple, but now he had changed so much.
“Drop dead!”
A cloud of black mist erupted from Gustave’s body.
“Ah!”
Beneath the veil of this black mist, every cultivator it touched let out cries of agony. They could feel their bodies rapidly aging as if they were decaying.
“It’s death energy! Everyone retreat quickly…” Jared quickly raised his voice, leading everyone to hastily retreat.
The death energy was extremely potent. As soon as one came into contact with it, it would rapidly drain the life force from their body, causing them to age quickly and their positive energy to swiftly deplete.
“You won’t be able to escape…”
Gustave swiftly pursued Jared and his group.
He was fast, continually advancing toward the crowd. Trystan and the others felt a chilling
dread as they evaded the ever-spreading death
energy.
Now, someone had to harness their own life force and positive energy to counteract this wave of death energy to save them. Otherwise, dealing with such a deathly aura would be incredibly challenging.
“Trystan, all of you step back. I’ll deal with him…”
Jared knew that continuing to run away like this was not a solution at all. He had to muster the strength to withstand this wave of death energy himself.
“Mr. Chance, you must be careful,” Trystan said.
With the Dragonslayer Sword in hand, Jared faced the erupting death energy head-on, charging straight toward Gustave.
Gustave was taken aback when he saw Jared, a mere Seventh Level Tribulator cultivator, daring to resist his death energy and even launch an attack on him.
“Gustave, his name is Jared Chance. He’s the one who killed Rainier. Don’t be fooled by his calm demeanor. He’s incredibly strong.”
Cassius feared that Gustave might underestimate Jared’s strength and be caught off guard by his attack.
“So it was him who killed Rainer… I will avenge him then…”
Gustave’s face was icy cold, and with a low growl, his death energy surged instantly.
Under such circumstances, no matter how fast Jared moved, he would still fall victim to the attack of the death energy.
Perhaps his positive energy would have been drained away before he could reach Gustave.
The death energy was like maggots gnawing at one’s bones. Once it enveloped the entire body, no matter how robust the physique, it was utterly useless.
Gustave didn’t know why Jared dared to be so audacious, but he wasn’t afraid at all. This was because anyone possessing life force and positive energy would fear death energy the most. His death energy was invincible.
“I’d like to see how long you can hold out in the death energy,” Gustave said with a playful glint in his eyes.
As Jared advanced toward him, his Golem Body activated, covering his entire body with radiant golden scales.
Even with Golem Body, he couldn’t withstand the erosion of the death energy. The golden scales on his body kept falling off.
Gustave stood with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly observing Jared.
In just a few short steps, Jared’s Golem Body gradually faded away, a testament to the formidable power of this death energy.
“Kid, by the time you reach me, you’ll be nothing but a pool of blood,” Gustave proudly exclaimed.
Jared also discovered the potency of the death energy. Even though his own physical strength was remarkable, he still couldn’t withstand it.
He had even resorted to using his True Fire Spiritual Body, but it was utterly incapable of stopping it.
“Life, aging, sickness, and death are all parts of the Heavenly Law, as is this death energy. Nothing can defy the Heavenly Law,” Vermilion Demon Lord said slowly.
“Is there really no way to deal with this death energy?” Jared asked with a slight frown.
“Of course there is. If you have enough life force and positive energy, this death energy won’t stand a chance against you.”
