Fontane's own dragon was nothing but sword energy condensed into form, whereas the one looming behind Jared was vivid, lifelike, and carried a majestic draconic might that felt undeniably real.
“Form the array—open the Mountain Defense Formation!”
Finally grasping the depth of Jared's power, Fontane roared the order at the top of his lungs and rushed to activate the Mountain Defense Formation.
As Drake and the others thrust beams of light from their palms into Destiny Peak, a pale radiance blossomed around Destiny Sect, announcing that the Mountain Defense Formation had been deployed.
“Pathetic trash.”
Jared snorted, and the golden dragon behind him unleashed a thunderous roar.
Under the pressure of that roar, the Mountain Defense Formation groaned and cracked; the light at its focal points dimmed and, in the blink of an eye, the barrier collapsed.
“T-This golden dragon isn't an illusion?”
Feeling the dragon's regal might, Fontane's pupils shrank; blood drained from his face as though every ounce of strength had been sucked from his body. He staggered back several paces, stammering, “Who... who are you? Are you of the Golden Dragon clan?”
Legends of the Golden Dragon clan had long circulated throughout the Celestial Realm.
Among all dragon bloodlines, the Golden Dragon was the most exalted. To meet a clansman here in the Third Heaven?
Fontane could scarcely believe it—yet the dragon behind Jared was right there, undeniable and solid.
With each rise in Jared's cultivation, his bloodline had grown purer, and the golden dragon had become ever more tangible.
“Isn't it a bit late for that realization?”
Jared's smile remained calm and faint.
“Spare me—Sir, please spare me!” Fontane, hearing that unspoken confirmation, could not maintain even a scrap of dignity. With a thud, he dropped to his knees, knocking his head repeatedly against the ground. “I was blind—I, and Destiny Sect, were utterly blind! I beg you, sir, show mercy and overlook our transgressions!”
Drake and the rest of Destiny Sect's higher-ups, seeing what had occurred, fell to their knees in unison, bowing so furiously that their foreheads struck the ground again and again.
Had they known Jared belonged to the exalted Golden Dragon clan, even a gift of ten thousand borrowed courages would not have tempted them to raise a finger against him.
Throughout the Celestial Realm, the Golden Dragon clan was an existence beyond imagining; a single careless sneeze from one of its members could wipe not only Destiny Sect but even the entire Third Heaven from existence.

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...
