He wanted to see what was so extraordinary about this tree, which not only emitted celestial energy but also seemed capable of launching an attack on humans.
The tree unleashed a series of spiritual blades, yet Jared didn’t attempt to dodge them. He allowed the blades to strike him, which caused him no significant harm at all.
Jared grasped a branch of the tree firmly, then with a swift, strong pull, the tree was uprooted straight from the crevice in the rock.
The moment it was uprooted, the tree seemed to struggle relentlessly as if attempting to break free from Jared’s restraint.
“This tree seems to have a consciousness! How strange!” Jared, holding onto the tree, exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s my first time seeing it too. Why is this tree alive?”
Judith was also quite taken aback.
“Let’s not worry about that now. Those guys are trying to get away. We should go after them first…”
Jared, accompanied by Judith, began their pursuit of the three Demonic Cultivators.
During this time, Jared had attempted on several occasions to store the tree in his storage ring, but every attempt ended in failure.
Jared’s storage ring had the capacity to hold anything, except for humans. Even something as majestic as this divine tree should have posed no problem. However, Jared had failed several times.
In the end, Jared decided not to bother anymore. He grabbed onto the tree and began to chase after the three Demonic Cultivators.
Just a short distance into the chase, Jared’s brows furrowed. He could sense numerous presences closing in on them incessantly from the distant void.
There were easily over a dozen of them, including several at Ultimate Realm. They were likely reinforcements that the three Demonic Cultivators had brought in.
Aren’t the cultivators in the eastern region pretty weak? Why are there so many Ultimate Realm cultivators here all of a sudden?
Jared was utterly speechless.
At that moment, Judith’s expression subtly shifted. She sensed the presence of several formidable beings and quickly said to Jared, “This is bad. It seems the reinforcements of the Demonic Cultivators have arrived, and there are quite a few of them. We should stop pursuing.”
“Let’s go…” Jared nodded, then promptly led Judith in a different direction. Their only goal was to get away from the Dead Sea.
Not long after they left, there was a ripple in the void. A man in a crimson robe appeared, with several cultivators trailing behind him. Among them, quite a few were at Ultimate Realm Level One.
Had Jared not left, he would have been astounded upon seeing the man in the crimson robe, because this fellow was none other than Skylar, the one who had absconded with the Demonia Stone.
He had already regained his physical body, and his strength had advanced to Ultimate Realm Level Two.
Skylar was certainly a genius in his own right.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the man, Abel was overjoyed. He immediately went to greet him. “Mr. Norton, I didn’t expect you to personally bring people here.”
Skylar glanced at Abel’s broken arm, a slight frown creasing his brow. “What’s the matter with you? You couldn’t even handle a little girl?”
Skylar’s face was filled with fury, which greatly intimidated Abel.
“Mr. Norton, if it had only been Judith alone, we would have had her cornered a long time ago, and the secret scrolls would have been in our hands. But Jared appeared out of nowhere and disrupted our plans. He doesn’t seem all that impressive at first glance, but he’s surprisingly strong. Plus, he was decked out in some kind of mystical armor, which really gave us a hard time,” Abel explained cautiously.
“Jared?” Skylar was momentarily stunned at first, but his face quickly revealed a hint of excitement. “Well, isn’t this a surprise? The world is small indeed. He actually showed up in the eastern region just when I was worried I couldn’t find him.”
“Mr. Norton, you know Jared? The president is actually presenting a hundred-year offering to whoever hunts him down. If we could capture him, we’d be able to claim a hundred-year offering from the president,” Abel said.
