The Mans Decree
Chapter 4041

“Try another way if you can’t kill it. Besides, don’t you need the flaming energy for your training anyway? Back then, you were on that cliff, absorbing the flaming energy. Now, with so much of it readily available, what are you waiting for?” said Vermilion Demon Lord to Jared.

Jared’s eyes lit upon realizing that the flame bugs fed on the flaming energy. With that, their bodies undoubtedly contained a significant amount of it.

When these flame bugs gathered together, their combined power was even more formidable than the any regular internal flame!

Moreover, Jared possessed the demonic fire soul essence and had cultivated the True Fire Spiritual Body, making him immune to any internal flame attacks!

Therefore, the flame bugs were not able to harm Jared. Instead, he was able to absorb the flaming energy from their bodies.

Upon reflection, Jared suddenly understood Vermilion Demon Lord’s intentions.

Jared felt he had wronged Vermilion Demon Lord. The latter knew about the flame bug in the cave but chose not to tell Jared about it, intending for the bugs to be attracted so Jared could absorb them!

“Mr. Vermilion, I’m truly sorry for misunderstanding you,” Jared apologized, feeling embarrassed.

“Hurry up and get out! Stop dawdling around in the arcane array meant to protect me.”

Vermilion Demon Lord then kicked Chen Ping, thrusting him out of the arcane array.

Upon seeing the situation, the swarm of flame bugs rushed forward, enveloping Jared and launching relentless attacks on him!

However, the flame bugs could not harm Jared at all!

Jared utilized his nascence star to fervently absorb the flaming energy from within the flame bugs.

He witnessed flames reaching for the sky, one after another, as the flame bugs advanced relentlessly.

Soon, the flame bugs around Jared, now infused with flaming energy, turned black, devoid of any remaining signs of life.

In no time at all, it was densely covered in a thick layer!

Jared was elated as he fervently absorbed everything!

The flame bugs had no spiritual intelligence, advancing relentlessly in waves. Their sole purpose was to unleash their flaming energy, determined to burn Jared to death!

Nonetheless, it was exactly what Jared wanted. As the flame bugs unleashed their fiery energy, he absorbed it with all his strength.

After what felt like an eternity, the ground was strewn with the carcasses of the flame bugs!

In the end, the flame bugs finally came to their senses, quickly turning away and scurrying off, no longer attacking Jared.

Anyhow, Jared did not give chase. After all, it was easy to lose one’s way inside the cave.

As the glow of the flame bugs faded, Jared’s nascence star shone brilliantly.

Thereafter, a peculiar aura of fire gradually took shape within Jared.

When the fire aura condensed into a wisp of internal flame, Jared was astonished to realize that it was a completely different type of internal flame.

Jared had already harnessed four types of internal flames within him. Initially, he had thought that those flame bugs, which fed on the flaming energy, also absorbed the aura of the fire of the Earth’s core.

Therefore, absorbing the flaming energy of those flame bugs was simply a way to enhance the strength of his own fire of the Earth’s core.

Surprisingly, the flaming energy from the flame bugs had transformed into a distinctive internal flame.

It seemed to possess a certain spirituality, even more so than the others.

Jared conjured a ball of internal flame and then dripped a drop of blood essence into it, all the while mumbling to himself.

Instantly, the internal flame transformed into a dozen crimson mice.

However, this time, the crimson mice were noticeably smarter, displaying a hint of spiritual intelligence!

Although not true demon beasts but transmogrified from internal flame, they possessed spiritual intelligence.

That was because the flaming energy Jared absorbed from the flame bugs had fully forged the internal flame, imbuing it with a certain level of spirituality.

The flame bugs, lacking any spiritual wisdom, followed aimlessly like fools. Yet, unexpectedly, the resulting internal flame possessed spirituality.

More than ten crimson mice surrounded Jared, squeaking incessantly at him!

“Find the exit, all of you. You must locate it, understood?” commanded Jared.

A dozen crimson mice nodded in unison, quickly dividing their tasks before dashing off toward various burrow entrances.

While the crimson mice were busy searching for an escape, Jared nonchalantly continued to thrash Maurice!

Since he was feeling bored staying inside the cave, Jared amused himself by teasing Maurice.
