Chapter 4023
Flames began to swirl in front of Jared. Soon, a massive vortex appeared and absorbed the surrounding fire of the Earth’s core right in front of Jared.
“What’s going on? How did a massive vortex suddenly appear?”
Upon seeing the situation, Jared’s face was filled with surprise.
Vermilion Demon Lord commented, “You must have absorbed the fire of the Earth’s core here, causing a shift in the surrounding flame aura. That’s why such a large vortex has formed. Rivers formed from underground magma like this one are quite volatile. The slightest introduction of a foreign object could potentially alter its current state.”
Upon hearing the words of Vermilion Demon Lord, Jared was reminded of the volcano.
A calm volcano wouldn’t erupt even with the magma churning.
But if you tossed a stone into it, it might trigger a volcanic eruption.
The same principle applied here. Jared merely absorbed a hint of the surrounding flame aura, and it consequently led to the sudden emergence of a massive vortex within the magma river.
Jared noticed the vortex growing larger and larger. It seemed as if there was a crevice at the void.
Once the flame aura was swept into the vortex, they flowed away through the void’s crevice, disappearing to an unknown destination.
Watching the vortex continuously grow in size, Jared decided to take cover for the time being, hoping that the turbulence might eventually subside.
Jared struggled against the pull of the vortex as he swam toward the other side. However, he found it extremely challenging to move forward.
Originally hindered by the magma river, Jared was now firmly held by the vortex’s suction. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continuously dodge the vortex.
At that very moment, a faint aura was steadily drawing closer. Soon enough, Jared realized with a jolt that it was the aura of the Ghost Mask Sect!
“Did that guy actually manage to find this place?”
Jared’s expression tensed because he hadn’t expected that Maurice would find him so quickly.
Just as Jared was gathering his courage to face the enemy, he was shocked to discover that what approached him was actually a ghost mask.
The ghost mask seemed to possess a life of its own. It relentlessly advanced toward Jared.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon seeing the ghost mask, Jared’s brows furrowed. He knew that it didn’t just appear here without reason!
It must be Maurice who had thrown the ghost mask into the magma river, and now the ghost mask was seeking him out.
Jared quietly observed the sudden appearance of the ghost mask. He wanted to know whether it was cast into the magma river by Maurice or if it had fallen in by itself.
The ghost mask was incessantly closing in on Jared. However, just as it was still some distance away, it was abruptly sucked into the massive vortex. It vanished without a trace in an instant!
Upon witnessing the ghost mask being sucked into the vortex, Jared finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this ghost mask was not cast into the magma river by Maurice.
Jared created a distance between himself and the vortex as he dared not absorb and refine the fire of the Earth’s core any longer. He could only rely on these flames and use the True Fire Spiritual body to temper his own body.
At that moment, Maurice was waiting by the bank of the magma river.
Quickly, an aura was felt. Maurice cast his gaze into the distance.
“He actually manages to sneak that far out…”
Maurice’s lips curved slightly. He already knew Jared’s location. Just then, the ghost mask approached Jared, instantly revealing his hiding spot.
At that time, Jared was completely oblivious to the fact that his location had been exposed. He was still engrossed in the True Fire Spiritual body and refining his physical form.
Maurice swiftly leaped up. Once he reached the spot where Jared was, he plunged headfirst into the magma river.
Several ghost masks swirled around Maurice and shielded him from the flames of the magma river!
The ghost masks were not afraid of the fire of the Earth’s core. In fact, it was through this face that Harlan and his companions crossed the magma river!
