Meanwhile, inside a vast and brightly-lit palace, Jared's bloody body lay motionless on the floor.
At that moment, he was severely weakened. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was in an unconscious state.
Directly in front of the palace, the sculpture of a man with a fishtail was placed on a dazzling gold throne.
The sculpture appeared vivid and realistic, as if it was a real fishman. In his hand was a weapon similar to a trident.
That was an unexplored place, and one could only imagine who would put such a sculpture there.
Scattered across the palace were faintly glowing beast cores of various sizes.
Right then, a streak of white light flashed across the space above the palace. Immediately afterward, a sea serpent over ten meters long appeared. The sea serpent seemed to be in agony. After entering the palace, it glanced at Jared, passed out on the floor, and surprisingly ignored him.
Then, the sea serpent looked at the sculpture and continuously twisted its body as if it was worshipping the sculpture. Moments later, the sea serpent opened its gruesome mouth, and a beast core slowly floated out from its mouth.
The beast core gradually landed on the floor. Following the loss of its beast core, the sea serpent began thrashing in anguish, but its body swiftly disintegrated bit by bit and completely vanished without a trace in the end, leaving the beast core on the ground.
Jared was in a coma for a whole day, and throughout this period, over ten demon beasts of different species arrived at the palace, spat out their beast cores, and dissolved into nothingness.
At the same time, at Dragon Island, Zion and his men did not leave the scene. Instead, they camped along the shore. Zion could not rest assured without seeing Jared's corpse with his own eyes.
However, one day and two nights had passed, yet Jared's body did not float to the sea surface. That had caused Zion's anxiety to intensify.
“President Zeigler, there's no way Jared could've survived. Dissatisfaction is growing among the crowd because we've been staying here for too long,” Edgar said displeasingly to Zion.
After all, they were all there for the Trial, and Edgar wanted to seize the opportunity to absorb more people's powers.
