The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2629

Jalai made the surrounding air explode, while, with a smile on his face, he shaped his attack with his hands, causing hundreds of white snakes to emerge from the frozen peaks of that area.

With a flick of one of his fingers, he cut the top of a mountain in half, causing the space in the area to tear apart, revealing the hollow interior of that rock formation.

As he moved, the Supremes stationed in the vicinity unleashed their auras, their presence concealed in the nearby side mountains and the inner region. The air crackled with a palpable energy as they ascended from their positions, alerting their surroundings.

"Jalai!" Jabez's voice echoed through the air, reverberating from his prone position on a weathered ritual platform. Beneath him, an array of defensive artifacts lay scattered, their cool, smooth surfaces pressing against his body. Surrounding him were fragrant herbs, their potent aroma mingling with the earthy scent of special resources carefully gathered to aid in his recovery.

As expected, after a top level fight against First Elder Juma, Jabez was still not 100% recovered.

"Ready to die, Jabez?" Jalai advanced, letting his many snakes devour the auras of his opponents as he approached the enemy.

But before Jalai reached the still recovering sect leader, one man in the vicinity, a level 122 cultivator, used his leader's sacrifice technique to the fullest. Upon reaching level 124, this guy appeared in front of the Armhands' leader.

"What audacity!" Shouted the man in front of Jalai as he moved one of his palms against the enemy leader, attacking him by surprise.

"Can you believe it? Some foolish individual managed to artificially reach level 124. But let me tell you, it won't deter me," scoffed the white-haired old man. He himself was at the pinnacle of level 123, possessing enough strength to take on even those who temporarily reached level 124.

With a swift flick of his hand, a sinuous white snake materialized in the air, its scales glistening in the sunlight. Gracefully, it slithered through the air, moving with purpose and determination. The sound of its movement was barely audible, a faint rustling that sent shivers down the spines of onlookers. The air carried a hint of a musky scent, reminiscent of the untamed wilderness. As it made contact with the enemy, the snake's sleek body brushed against his skin, leaving a chill in its wake.

Jabez trembled as he laid eyes on it, having heard whispers about the White Snake, the formidable leader of the group he despised the most on the continent. He never thought the leader would emerge from seclusion within the next century.

However, he had underestimated First Elder Juma's relationship with Jalai. Any other elder would have hesitated to call for Supreme Leader Jalai in time to act in this war. But Juma had moved at the right time and avoided many problems that Jabez had planned.

'Shit! I have to escape. If this damn alien sacrifices his own parasite, he'll be even stronger than Juma!' Jabez thought to himself as he moved out of the area.

Meanwhile, the level 122 man, temporarily at level 124, changed his expression as he came face to face with Jalai's attack. His eyes widened, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Immediately, he abandoned his arrogant demeanor and swiftly formed an energy barrier around him. The barrier shimmered in a bluish hue, crackling with power.

As Jalai's white snake lunged forward, its fangs sunk into the large spherical barrier. The impact produced a sharp cracking sound, reverberating through the air. A bluish vapor escaped from the snake's venomous teeth, carrying a faint, metallic scent.

Undeterred by the situation, Jalai acted swiftly. He was faced with a formidable enemy, one that even his elders would find challenging. Yet, his focus remained on eliminating the dangerous element that posed a threat to even the strongest of Armhands. In his determination, he disregarded the man, who was now under the effects of his vapor-shaped poison.

All the other Supremes in the vicinity were being attacked by Jalai's snakes, so no one else stood in his way until Jabez.

Throwing a stone at his enemy's feet, he watched Jabez roll fifteen times before falling into the entrance of the tunnel that led out of this underground area.

Seeing a large, glowing creature that left goo everywhere it went appear in that tunnel, Jabez stared ahead in horror, not believing that his enemy was really that capable.

"You should have waited another thousand years. Perhaps you would have had the chance to defeat me then, when Juma was no longer with us. But anyway, you missed the timing. Time to pay for that," said the smiling Supreme Leader of Armhands, as he appeared above Jabez.

The Supreme Leader's lower body became that of a snake, quickly wrapping around Jabez's body and squeezing him to the point that the local native couldn't escape.

Jabez had already lived a long life, experiencing many situations in which he had been in Jalai's position. In some others, he had even been in his current position, but unlike those situations, he didn't expect anyone to come to his rescue today.

Jalai was among the 10 strongest cultivators in Oqia. There weren't many who could stop him from taking a life within his grasp!

When he found himself in this situation, defeated and with his men far enough away from them, Jabez just sighed before saying his last words, "Do what you came to do. This defeat is mine."

With an enigmatic smile, Jalai killed by 'biting' the shoulders of the local native, causing his powerful poison to invade the body and soul of this level 123 enemy, but who, being weakened, was no stronger than a level 121 Supreme at this point.

"Sect Master!"

"Boss!"

Several men in the area shouted as they tried to deal with the snakes, preventing them from helping Jabez, but also from fleeing the area.

"Hey guys, why complain? It's your turn next!" With those words, Jalai devoured Jabez's body, and then turned his attention to the enemies left for him to eliminate.

With the deaths of the remaining Supremes in this area, his mission would be accomplished. It would only be a matter of time before he and his elders' actions became known, and then the war would end with the stampede of partners and members of Firestone Mines.

With a smile on his face, the old man of level 123 didn't even use the sacrifice of his Flashdrain parasite, something he was preparing for an ultimate enemy much stronger than any of these men.

Unlike the old First Elder Juma, Jalai still had a lot to live for and fight for. Sacrificing something that had taken him tens of thousands of years just for the sake of these individuals would be stupid.

But he wouldn't even have to do something like that. At his current level, just trying his hardest would be more than enough to deal with the group of Supremes using Jabez's sacrificial technique.
