A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6794

"They will," Damian Shore said with icy certainty, malice and greed lurking in his eyes. "You don't understand. What Jared Chance possesses is worth ten thousand times more than a few million spirit crystals."

"He wields chaotic force, the source of all laws. It's the supreme origin power the celestials have pursued for countless ages, a chance to break through their limits and transcend Heaven's laws. Deep inside him lies the untainted origin power of the Water Clan—the key to mastery of the entire Void Sea. And he has a complete Sea Soul Pearl inside him, containing the spiritual energy of the boundless seas and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao."

Every word rang with conviction as calculation gleamed in Damian's eyes. "Tell the Silvermoon family that if they kill Jared, everything he possesses will belong to them: his chaotic origin, his Water Clan bloodline, the Sea Soul Pearl, and every other treasure and opportunity. All they need to commit is a few powerful cultivators. They won't have to spend a single resource or bear any risk, yet they'll gain an opportunity that may not come again in ten thousand lifetimes. There's no chance they'll refuse such a profitable bargain."

Mr. Linden's heart shook. In an instant, he understood.

The chaotic origin, the Water Clan's origin power, and a complete Sea Soul Pearl—any one of the three could drive the greatest powers of Dubhe Continent into a frenzy. Together in the hands of a single man, they were certainly enough to persuade the Silvermoon family to act with all its might.

He studied Damian and saw the resentment, madness, and resolve deep in his eyes.

Jared had utterly crushed the pride of a tyrant who had dominated the Void Sea for tens of millennia. Now he was prepared to gamble away Azurewave Island's entire future for revenge.

"I... understand, my lord." Mr. Linden nodded firmly. "I'll set out immediately and travel day and night to Dubhe Continent. I will persuade the Silvermoon family to intervene and avenge your humiliation, Island Lord."

"Go, then." Damian gave a faint wave, his tone indifferent.

Mr. Linden said nothing more. He bowed deeply and dissolved into a wispy gray shadow that merged with the night. In a heartbeat, he vanished beyond the courtyard without leaving a trace of his aura.

The night wind swept dead leaves and broken stones into a whirl where he had disappeared. They settled without a sound, and silence returned to the courtyard.

Damian stood alone beside the wrecked fountain, staring after Mr. Linden for a long time.

The howling wind snapped at his torn robes.

He slowly closed his eyes. His fingers clenched into fists at his sides, then gradually relaxed.

His low, ragged voice scraped through the stillness like sandpaper across ancient stone. "Jared Chance... You think you've won? You think destroying Azurewave Island and rescuing the Water Clan means it's over?"

"How naive. This contest, this fight to the death... has only just begun. Let's see whether you can withstand the wrath of the celestials of Dubhe Continent."

Deep within the Void Sea, in the waters surrounding Deepblue City.

A gentle blue-green glow suffused the depths. It came from the city's protective array, an enduring radiance of origin power stretching roughly 310 miles across the sea.

As Jared approached, sending a faint ripple through the water, that once-tranquil glow suddenly flared.

Layer upon layer of light grew brighter, like an ancient sea beast opening its eyes after ten thousand years of sleep. The glow enveloped the underwater city with a peaceful warmth, driving away the cold darkness that had hung over the depths since time immemorial.

Glowing seaweed lining the streets swayed and unfurled its leaves. Clear blue-green light washed across the water and over the white coral-stone roads, making them gleam like polished jade.
