“Are you upset?” Jared asked coldly.
“Verily!” Phaethon’s eyes widened in defiance. I will grant you an opportunity,” Jared replied frostily.
“We can engage in a fight. If you win, I’ll allow you to leave. But if you lose, you can only imagine the
consequences.”
Phaethon was taken aback by the offer. “Are you serious?” He found it hard to believe that Jared would
have the audacity to challenge him and then let him go if he won.
“Of course. With the condition that you win,” Jared replied with a nod.
Phaethon burst into laughter. “Well, aren’t you arrogant? You’re only at Fourth Level Body Fusion
Realm, and you have the audacity to make such a proposition! Do you truly believe that old man is still
possessing you?”
His aura burst forth. The injuries he suffered were superficial, so he wasn’t in danger.
Phaethon reasoned that Jared’s prior competence at the treasure trove was due to the presence of the
elder of the Archaic Body cultivators within his body. Now that they were no longer connected,

Jared let out an icy snort, and the fire nascence blossomed and burst out of his body. He then launched
a kick.
Thud! The kick landed squarely on Phaethon, sending him flying backward for several hundred meters.
He then crashed onto the ground, creating a huge crater.
“B*stard! How dare you ambush me? You must have a death wish!” Phaethon growled as he got to his
feet. A menacing glint filled Phaethon’s eyes as he wiped away the blood from the corner of his. lips.
He unsheathed his sword, and a moonlike radiance materialized, hurtling directly at Jared. The light
blazed intensely, and the temperature soared as it approached. As the radiant light closed in on him,
Jared swiftly waved his hand, conjuring the Dragonslayer Sword.
With a low growl, he released the sword’s power, causing three brilliant beams of light to shoot forth,
intercepting the approaching moon-shaped light.
The collision of the four beams of light produced a deafening and terrifying sound that reverberated in
the air. The fabric of the void ruptured, and amidst the chaos, Phaethon suddenly soared upward. He
brandished his sword, giving rise to over a dozen moon-shaped beams of light.
Boom, boom, boom!
The beams of light swiftly landed on the spot where Jared stood. The intense battle caused the ground
to cave in, creating numerous fissures. Dust and debris billowed into the air, obscuring the
surroundings with a haze.
Jared noticed that the fire nascence he was currently using wasn’t as potent as it had been when he
was at the treasure trove.
He furrowed his brows, not satisfied with the strength of this attack. Jared couldn’t help but feel
disappointed as he remembered the exceptional strength of his fire nascence back at the treasure
trove.
At that time, he had the support of the Archaic Body cultivators’ elder, and witnessing that level of
power had left him longing for it. Jared’s body was concealed by the dust..
Outside, Quinley and the like were worried about him. Phaethon, despite his severe injuries, remained
a formidable cultivator at Ninth Level Body Fusion Realm.

While Jared had made significant progress and reached Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm, he still had a
considerable gap to bridge to reach Phaethon’s level.
Nevertheless, Cloud and Yuven weren’t worried at all as they knew Jared was capable of defending
himself.
“Is he dead?” Phaethon carefully retracted his sword as there was no movement. He was cautious not
to enter the swirling clouds of dust himself, recognizing that doing so would provide Jared with an
opportunity to ambush him.
He knew Jared had a penchant for ambushing opponents, so he was determined to emerge from this
battle unscathed. Suddenly, Jared’s voice resounded from the sky. “One palm strike, one sword strike.”
Phaethon lifted his head in astonishment, realizing that Jared was now positioned above him. He had
no clue when Jared had managed to slip away from his grasp and take to the skies.
“What did you say?” Phaethon’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. Jared’s aura matches mine even though
I’m at Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm. What is happening?
“You attacked Ms. Tall with a palm strike and a sword strike, so I’ll repay you tenfold,” Jared said as a
menacing look appeared in his eyes.
