Although Ivan knew he was no match for Jared, he still charged at the latter, roaring in fury. The endless lethal intent swept around, raging like a massive wave.
“You actually dare to lay a hand on me…”
Jared wore a look of disdain, the marked aura on his body instantly filled the air.
When the lethal intent encountered the marked aura, it slowed down considerably, just like freezing ice, losing it turbulent, wave-like demeanor.
Ivan suddenly halted, his entire aura seeming incredibly stifled. His movements also began to slow down significantly.
Boom!
Suddenly, an inferno ignited and engulfed Ivan.
The surrounding-lethal intent quickly dissipated, and Ivan let out a chilling scream. As Lauden watched from the sidelines, his heart was filled with nothing but sheer astonishment.
In just a fleeting moment, Ivan was reduced to ashes.
It was a deserving end. If he sincerely apologized and begged for mercy, perhaps Jared, out of respect for Hadad, might spare him.
Yet Ivan dared to lay a hand on Jared, and really thought the latter was a pushover just because he didn’t demonstrate his strength.
Thus, there was no way Jared would allow someone like that to live. After Ivan was killed, Jared began to rapidly absorb the lethal intent around him.
For Jared, this was considered a top-notch resource.
His Focus Technique could refine anything, even lethal intent, which significantly boosted his power. Meanwhile, Lauden was quietly waiting by the side.
As the lethal intent continued to diminish, the darkness covering the crevice faded away. Moreover, the temperature started to rise significantly.
In the end, Lauden was surprisingly overwhelmed by a wave of intense heat, his body drenched in sweat.
One should know that he was a Ninth Level Tribulator. No matter how extreme the heat or cold was, his spiritual energy would protect him, so he wouldn’t feel it at all.
However, this intense heat had become somewhat unbearable for him.
While absorbing the lethal intent. Jared too sensed the shift in temperature. Only when the last trace of lethal intent was absorbed did Jared finally open his eyes.
At that moment, the crevice had turned a striking shade of red, the surrounding area was akin to a heated oven.
The eerie white bones that littered the round were astonishingly all vaporized by the heat wave, disappearing without a trace.
Jared was somewhat taken aback, utterly clueless about what was going on.
At that moment, Vermilion Demon Lord suddenly cried out, “Darn it, hurry up and get out of here! This is the fire of the Earth’s core. If it erupts, you guys are toast…”
Upon hearing this, Jared was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend how the fire of the Earth’s core could suddenly appear there.
As Jared was mired in shock, a sudden wave of heat erupted nearby.
Accompanied by a wave of heat, a surge of lava came rolling in.
Wherever the lava passed, the rocks began to ignite.
“Run!”
Upon seeing the situation, Jared called out to Lauden, and they began to leap upward at a rapid pace.
The lava kept erupting, causing the fire of the Earth’s core to surge toward Jared and his companion.
No matter how fast Jared and his companion were, they couldn’t match the speed of the erupting lava.
After all, they were flying upward, not moving on flat ground. Due to the presence of a magnetic field, their ascent was inherently limited and incredibly slow.
Seeing the molten lava and fierce flames about to engulf them both, Jared could only muster his strength to push Lauden away, saying, “Lauden, you go first. Don’t worry about me…”
Jared possessed fire nascence, which gave him a certain resistance to the fire of the Earth’s core.
However, the same couldn’t be said of Lauden.
If he were to be engulfed by lava, he would probably be burnt to death quite quickly!
“Mr. Chance…” Lauden shouted, but with a shove from Jared, his body was swiftly propelled toward the crevice.
Meanwhile, Jared was enveloped by the molten lava and subsequently plunged into its scorching depths.
As Jared activated Golem Body, he could still feel countless waves of heat relentlessly assaulting him from all directions.
Everywhere he looked, he was met with a sea of crimson. Jared knew he had fallen into a sea of lava and realized escape was going to be difficult.
