A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5507

The idea that Jared—once a hunted cur on level six—could stride into level seven and obliterate a Soul Urn felt impossible. Even a fragment of the Soul Devourer's power was more than most level-six cultivators could fathom, let alone overcome.

That ancient fiend's cruelty was legend, its methods whispered to chill marrow. For Chance to escape such clutches hinted at hidden forces—secrets Drystan could neither explain nor ignore.

"There is no time." Drystan straightened, resolve crystallizing behind storm-dark eyes. "This must reach Enaricus immediately."

He understood the stakes: one wrong decision could topple halls and dynasties alike, and he dared not shoulder that consequence alone.

Drystan's mind raced. Jared had not only shattered the Soul Urn; he had likely uncovered the covert alliance between the Celestial Palace and the Malevolent Path Hall. Should that truth spread, arrows from every faction would converge, drowning the Celestial Palace.

He strode into the silent nave until he stood before the Communications Array, its runes burning like a portal cut from starlight, humming with distant promise.

His fingers flew, weaving seals too quickly for the eye to follow, movements etched into muscle and marrow by a thousand relentless drills.

At the final sign, he poured a lance of urgent aura into the circle; it slithered away like quicksilver, vanishing the instant it touched the incandescent lines.

"Mr. Hexford, what matter drives you to disturb me so urgently?" The question rolled from the array, deep and commanding.

The voice felt as if it had dropped from the vault of heaven itself, heavy with authority that brooked no refusal.

"Mr. Enaricus!" Drystan bowed so deeply his breath scraped the floor. "Jared Chance is alive. He has reached level seven and destroyed the Soul Urn we traded for with Evil Path Hall!"

For a long, ragged moment, no answer came; the silence itself seemed to burn.

"Jared Chance... not dead?" The simmer in Enaricus' tone threatened to spill into open fury. "So Onneas truly led his men through level six and plucked those captives from the Soul Devourer's grasp?"
