The Man's Decree (Favo novel) novel Chapter 5379

Within the swirling elixir field, a cyclone of blue-green light spun faster and faster, each revolution squeezing the essence tighter until the hue deepened from pale jade to storm-dark emerald.

Again and again, that condensed tide hammered the invisible shell lining the elixir field wall. Hairline cracks spidered across the stubborn barrier with every strike.

Days passed by inside the tower. Beyond its door, only two dawns passed, yet two hundred days burned away beneath the accelerated clock within.

During that borrowed season, Yuliana's wounds mended completely—Detoxification Pills and rich spiritual energy weaving flesh and spirit back together until not a scar remained. Riding the same current, she climbed to Earthly Immortal Realm Level Nine, one breath away from the Human Immortal Realm threshold.

Often she sat beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree, gaze drifting to Jared nearby. Whenever memory replayed the moment his lips drew poison from her, her thighs pressed involuntarily together, an aftershock of heat flickering through her composure.

Around Jared's frame hovered a corona of deep turquoise light, tiny arcs of lightning skittering across its surface and echoing the runes carved into the tower walls. Before him, the pile of celestial gems had already sunk by half a man's height, its brilliance drained to feed his relentless cultivation.

On the final day, as another torrent of energy surged through him, Jared's eyes snapped open, shards of silver light spearing from his pupils.

"Break!" he growled, molding every drop of force into a spectral spear and driving it straight at the fractured shell inside his core.

A crystalline crack rang out within him.

At last, the barrier that had caged him for so long collapsed like glass against a hammer.

Unfettered spiritual energy roared inward, ballooning the inner vortex until its color shifted to ink-dark jade. When the storm settled, a solid core of power floated at his center, its aura several times stronger than before.

He had stepped into the Earthly Immortal Realm Level Two.

Jared drew his cultivation to a close, the lightning-type current humming pleasantly through his meridians. For the first time in days, a quiet, satisfied smile crept across his face.

He rose, flexed hands and shoulders, and found every latent injury—poison, overexertion, hidden fractures—washed clean. The pure energy from the celestial gem mine had even tempered his foundations, leaving them steadier than ever.

"Mr. Chance, congratulations on the breakthrough!" Yuliana called, hurrying toward him, happiness bright on her face.
