“General Quivey has done well. When he returns, he will be handsomely rewarded! As for the Demon Seal Alliance, pay them no mind. If they dare to harm anyone from Allardland, show them no mercy,” Bernard said, nodding in satisfaction. It was clear that General Quivey had thought things through carefully, anticipating the potential threat from the Demon Seal Alliance toward Imperial Fox City.
Bernard, however, was unbothered by the looming conflict. He knew that his decision to protect Jared would inevitably clash with the Demon Seal Alliance, but he had no fear. While the Alliance had managed to spread its influence throughout the Ethereal Realm, undoubtedly backed by a powerful figure, Bernard wasn't without his own support. His control over Allardland in the Ethereal Realm had been solidified with the help of his own formidable backer.
If a large-scale conflict with the Demon Seal Alliance did erupt, both sides' patrons would surely intervene.
Rumble...
At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck down with brutal force. The house where Jared resided was instantly reduced to rubble, yet Jared remained still, unmoved by the devastating impact, not even flinching.
Simultaneously, above his head, a faint figure began to take shape. It was another version of Jared—his True Fire Spiritual Body—gradually emerging from his consciousness field, standing alongside him to endure the tribulations. This lightning tribulation was not merely destructive; it was also forging his True Fire Spiritual Body, solidifying its form. Once fully crystallized, Jared would possess a complete and genuine shadow clone, a powerful extension of himself.
Even if his physical body were destroyed, Jared had little to worry about. Once his True Fire Spiritual Body fully solidified, it would essentially become a body of flesh and blood. He could use it to revive himself at any moment, as though he possessed an extra life.
Rumble...
Another bolt of lightning tribulation crashed down. It was unclear how much time had passed or how many strikes had fallen, yet none had managed to harm Jared. Many cultivators had perished beneath the wrath of such tribulations, for surviving them was perilous—especially for those with greater power, as the stronger one's abilities, the more dangerous the tribulation became.
But for Jared, the tribulation seemed to merely brush against him like a gentle breeze. As he slowly opened his eyes, the True Fire Spiritual Body seamlessly merged back into him.
“Phew. That lightning tribulation felt much easier than the last!” Jared remarked, feeling as though this round wasn't nearly as fierce as before.
