Chapter 601


    Chapter 601 Seal Joselle


    The spear in Joselle’s hand turned into a shadow as it flew toward Jonathan’s throat. ng! The sound


    of a clock chimed. Jonathan glowed with a golden light, surrounded by countlessplex runes.


    Boom! Though the bronze handbell had blocked the strike, the impact knocked Jonathan over and sent


    him falling onto the bed of white bones below.


    “Hurry up, dimir! I can’t hold on much longer!” Jonathan roared before leaping to his feet and


    dashing once more toward Joselle. In the meantime, dimir had positioned Sofus into a peculiar


    stance beside the ming Tree.


    “You mustn’t me me, my disciple. I’m afraid all of us will die in this abyss if you are not used as the


    formation base.” “No!” Sofus cried in despair, sensing the spiritual energy revolving around them.


    “You only want to use the Three Ultimate Formations to refine the ancient beast, don’t you?” dimir


    said. “Phoebus Sect has sealed the spirit, and that involved two thousand years of spiritual energy. You


    are already halfway to the Divine realm. Are you not satisfied?”


    “There’s no need to kill me, Master! You are my—”


    Sofus stopped speaking abruptly as dimir spewed blood which dissipated into the air like mist,


    within which were three drops of blood that carried a tinge of gold light in its color.


    It was the blood essence only avable to God Realm cultivators. Every drop was exceedingly precious


    as it was the essence of a cultivator’s physical body.


    dimir’s face turned sallow after ejecting three drops of blood essence. In an instant, his entire being


    seemed to shrivel until he looked like a feeble old man in his nies.


    “I don’t want to kill you but you could only me your luck for being so. Die!”


    dimir grabbed the three drops of blood essence and drew his finger on Sofus’ body at great speed.


    The three drops of blood essence appeared sparse, but they behaved like acid upon contact with


    Sofus’ skin. The spot where dimir’s finger passed decayed rapidly into streaks of terrifying runic


    symbols.


    “Awaken!”


    Following the sound of dimir’s exhortation, blood-colored light burrowed out of the white bones in


    the entire valley.


    One streak. Two streaks.


    The glint of countless drops of blood solidified into a blood-colored screen with the ming Tree as its


    center.


    Sofus, kneeling on the ground, was no longer angry.


    Opposite Jonathan, Joselle frowned as she staggered backward. The direction of the spear in her hand


    had deviated to such an extent that it went half a meter away from Jonathan.


    As even half an inch of deviation might lead to a loss during a cultivator’s fight, such an error was


    rather devastating.


    Jonathan swung his bat mercilessly against Joselle’s skull.


    Bang!


    Joselle was smashed into the forest below following the sickening thud.


    Jonathan turned to leave after another thud signified her collision against the forest ground.


    He had clearly sensed the extent of Joselle’s cultivation at that moment—she was in Divine Realm.


    The seal worked!


    Before that, he could not have found out about Joselle’s cultivation level. However, her cultivation level


    had been suppressed to Divine Realm at that moment.


    “Awoo!”


    A roar of rage reverberating through the skies erupted from the mountainous forest.


    Then, a figure dashed out through the fog amidst crackling branches and tumbling rocks toward


    Jonathan.


    ng!


    The forceful strike sent Jonathan a dozen meters into the air.


    Beneath Jonathan was a strange demon beast with Joselle’s head but had gray fur all over its body.


    “Jonathan! You’re going to die!”


    The demon beast sounded hoarse. If it did not have Joselle’s head, Jonathan would never have


    associated it with the girl he knew.


    The spear whizzed through the air. Jonathan swung the long staff in his hand, ready to deflect it.


    dimir, on the other hand, was standing below at the center of the ming Tree with both hands


    pressed together.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Leaves of a fiery red rose shade danced in the wind and turned into streaks of light all over the skies as


    they flew toward Joselle.


    “We need the blood essence of one more person!” dimir’s voice rumbled across heaven and earth.


    “The formation will slow her down by ten minutes at most. If you want to live, catch one of the two


    people remaining!”


    A faint red light surrounded Joselle, which did not move in the slightest no matter how she attacked it.


    Jonathan gazed at the unceasing movements of the red leaves from atop the valley, but he was


    plunged deep into thought.


    He had heard Sofus’st words and learned that the formation was not to seal demons away. Instead,


    it was a formation set up by the Phoebus Sect to seal the ancient beast and plunder its resources of


    spiritual sense.


    That exins how Sofus has made such progress within two years.


    After gazing at the trapped Joselle in the distance, Jonathan turned and left after a moment of thought.


    Good and evil, right and wrong will all have to take a back seat in the face of survival. I too will die if I


    do not think of a way to help dimir seal Joselle away in ten minutes.


    …


    Irving and Lauryn were running with great speed within the stretch of a mountain range.


    “I owe Jonathan for this,” Irving said coldly as he hugged Lauryn. “I will let him go if he were ever at my


    mercy, but I definitely will not help him. I advise you not to do the same.


    “There’s an essential difference between the respectable families and Asura’s Office. Besides, that


    difference contradicts one another and cannot coexist. Do you think your father will listen to you if you


    tell him not to go against Jonathan?


    “Or perhaps you think Jonathan will spare the ckwood family and allow you to reign supreme after


    he does away with the other respectable families?


    “Stop dreaming. You can’t overthrow power as great as that.”


    Although she knew Irving was merely stating facts, Lauryn was unwilling to ept his words.


    Before she could open her mouth to retort, a clear voice sounded from beside the pair.


    “Let me borrow you for a while, Irving!”


    The pair felt their surroundings tightening violently at the new voice and became rooted firmly to the


    spot by the next moment.


    Jonathan threw a fruit into Lauryn’s hand and grabbed Irving by the cor before turning around to


    leave.


    “Enter the outermost mist wall,” he instructed her. “Leave as soon as the formation vanishes. Don’t


    forget what you promised me.”


    Jonathan and his captive then disappeared by the time Lauryn regained herposure.


    The tartness of the fruit in her mouth sent pure spiritual energy flooding her throat. Lauryn’s eyes


    widened as she devoured it. Though the spiritual energy did not heal her injuries, it sufficed at least to


    pull her through until she arrived at the border of the abyss.


    More than half the leaves of the ming Tree back in the valley had turned into light and filled the spirit


    shield sealing Joselle away.


    dimir panicked at the subtle shift of the surrounding aura. It had been five minutes, and he would die


    there once all the leaves of the ming Tree had fallen if Jonathan still did not appear by then.


    Here hees!


    Jonathan emerged once more with an unconscious Irving from the slope to their left when there were


    barely any more leaves of the ming Tree.


    “Throw him to me, quickly!” dimir shouted excitedly.


    However, Jonathan shook his head.


    “Give me the pill first.”
