The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6792

Night hung over Azurewave Island like heavy silk saturated with ink through the ages, oppressive and impenetrable.

Layer upon layer of dense black cloud completely concealed the bright moon. Not even the faintest silver glimmer escaped, leaving heaven and earth sunk in profound, suffocating darkness.

An icy gale crossed the whole island. Laden with brine, moisture, and a faint scorching odor from spent spiritual energy, it screamed among the broken columns, toppled lamps, and wreckage of the courtyard.

The gale lifted splintered wood, fragments of rock, and withered spirit leaves from the ground. They spun wildly among the ruins with low, moaning whistles like the whispers of ancient ghosts, desolate and piercing.

The island lord's residence, once magnificent, orderly, and imposing, had become a devastated ruin.

Damian sat numbly on the shattered flagstones. His once-resplendent golden brocade robe was covered in thick dust, stone chips, and mottled blood.

Savage tears gaped across the fabric, and its ragged edges fluttered around him. Not a trace of the island lord's dignity remained. He looked as wretched as a beggar beside the road.

A thin line of pale golden blood essence had yet to dry beneath his jaw. This was the precious origin blood essence of a cultivator at the peak of Grand Zenith Immortal Level Two.

Now it slid without dignity along his chin and fell onto the cold, broken stone, leaving a tiny wet mark with a nearly inaudible tap.

Both arms rested limply against the rough ground behind him. His 10 fingers twitched and trembled. Jagged stones had mangled his palms, yet he felt no pain.

Golden eyes that had once been steady and sharp enough to survey the entire Void Sea now stared blankly through the open gate in the direction Jared had left. Damian did not move them for a long time.

The astonishing battle that had overturned everything he believed replayed in his mind like an endless nightmare.

He had unleashed the whole foundation accumulated through tens of thousands of years of tireless cultivation in the Void Sea. It was the ultimate might of Grand Zenith Immortal Level Two at its peak, terrifying power capable of breaking mountains, overturning seas, and crushing an entire region.

In Damian's understanding, that palm could sweep aside more than nine-tenths of the cultivators in the Twenty-First Firmament. Even an opponent of his own level would not dare receive it directly.

He had held nothing back. Every trace of golden divine power built over tens of thousands of years had poured out.

It surged like an erupting volcano and a river of stars flowing backward, becoming a boundless golden torrent that bore down upon the gray-robed young man with the force to suppress all things.

Yet the outcome had been absurd enough to chill Damian to his core.

That young man looked young and weak in cultivation. Still, he neither evaded nor yielded. He simply lifted his right hand, palm level before him.

There were no intricate seals, heaven-shaking techniques, or vicious counterattacks. With disarming ease, Jared had received the killing palm into which Damian had poured his entire life's power.

When their hands met, there was none of the imagined cataclysmic explosion or trembling of heaven and earth. Their spiritual energies did not collide as equals, and the exchange produced no moment of deadlock.

Damian's golden divine power, vast enough to shatter mountains and fill seas, became a tiny stream cast into a limitless abyss.

It disappeared like a drop lost in the ocean, enclosed by the gentle gray power from Jared's palm, devoured without restraint, dissolved completely, and canceled to perfection.

That absolute helplessness traveled instantly from Damian's palm and meridians into every limb, bone, and corner of his soul. His body turned cold, his blood stagnated, and his spirit trembled.

For 10,000 years, he had dominated the Void Sea. He had flattened countless islands, suppressed innumerable rebellions, and fought challenger after challenger.
