Shock flashed across the Fire Spirit Lord's features; he had never imagined his rival could close the distance so brutally fast.
He twisted aside, robe flaring, and flicked his wrist. A spear of molten gold—pure star-fire—erupted from his palm and roared back toward the advancing demon.
Gold and crimson collided with a thunderclap that cracked heaven's vault. The explosion sent jagged ripples of pressure racing across the valley.
A circular shockwave blossomed from their clash, rolling outward in rings of scalding light.
Mountains shattered; whole ridgelines crumbled as if struck by invisible hammers. The ground split apart, revealing gorges so deep they swallowed their own echoes.
Above, clouds shredded, exposing a swirling blood-red vortex that roared like a living storm.
Inside that maelstrom, Jared and his companions staggered, vision spinning, as they summoned every ounce of spiritual energy to keep their feet.
Then terror struck again.
The Demonic Cultivators and roaming demonic souls stationed around the valley were caught by the wave and vaporized where they stood; one ragged scream lingered, then even the ashes were gone.
If those two keep fighting, not only are we finished, but the entire level six could be wiped clean.
"Everyone, inside the Dragon Bell. Move, now!" shouted Jared.
He snatched a bronze bell no larger than his fist from his storage ring.
A clear, resonant chime rang out. The artifact ballooned to the height of a watchtower, its dragon engravings flooding the air with gold light and folding the group inside.
Sheltered within, they felt the crushing pressure ease, though distant tremors still hammered the bell's walls.
Yet the battle outside only intensified. The valley heaved like a living beast while detonations boomed without pause. Peaks toppled, the earth yawned wider, and the crimson vortex above twisted into an even more monstrous grin.
Clang! Clang! Clang!

Josephine's first time seeing Jared kill isn't with Leyton but with Falcon. Pay attention to your work....
You need to correct yourself,dear author. Josephine was in the City of Herbs when she was a kid, so why is the city's smell surprising to her?...
I need more chapters...
When can I get the next chapter...
