A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6711

...

The secluded chamber lay in the deepest part of Divine Radiance Palace. All four walls were built from chaotic divine stone, blocking spirit-sense probing and preventing energy fluctuations from escaping.

A spirit-gathering array occupied the center. Dense runes covered the floor, each slowly circulating golden light.

A fist-sized divine crystal hung overhead, giving off a gentle glow that bathed the entire chamber in warm gold.

Aureon sat cross-legged in the center of the array, closed his eyes, and emptied his mind of every distraction.

Rare treasures and cultivation resources were carried into the chamber without pause.

Heavenly crystals formed small hills. Jade bottles were filled with divine-source essence. Ingredients needed to refine Grand Zenith Elixirs flowed steadily into the spirit-gathering array.

Placed outside, those resources could have supported a midsized faction for thousands of years. Now every last one had been gathered for a single breakthrough.

With one measured breath, Aureon set his cultivation technique in motion.

Golden light erupted around him. It moved over his body like countless golden dragons, accompanied by low, rumbling roars.

Terrifying divine power surged through his meridians, compressed to such an extreme that it nearly tore his body apart from within.

The barrier was right there—the invisible, indestructible divide between Golden Immortal and Grand Zenith Immortal, stretching before him like an impassable chasm.

He struck it once.

Twice.

Three times...

Each impact produced a tiny crack, yet every fracture healed in an instant.

The barrier seemed alive, constantly restoring itself and resisting the power invading it.

Aureon refused to stop.

Tens of thousands of years had tempered his resolve and filled his foundation. He unleashed all of that stored power at once.

He drew on every resource available, refining the heavenly crystals, divine-source essence, and Grand Zenith Elixir ingredients into the purest divine power before driving it into his meridians and battering the barrier again and again.

Time passed silently inside the chamber.

One full day and night.

Then two.

Boom!

Near the end of the second night, one final impact broke through. The unseen wall that had stopped him for ages burst apart.

Golden light burst out of Aureon's body like an erupting volcano and swept across the chamber.

The walls of chaotic divine stone shook violently under the impact, looking as if they might collapse at any moment.

The divine crystal overhead exploded, scattering countless golden fragments through the air.

At that same instant, the entire sky of the Twentieth Firmament changed.

The pale-gold heavens suddenly blazed brighter, as though set on fire, becoming a brilliant field of gold.

The color grew so intense that even the clouds turned gold, rolling overhead like a vast luminous ocean.

The ground trembled. Mountains rumbled. Rivers roared. The entire world seemed to shake in response to the birth of a Grand Zenith Immortal.

Every corner of the Twentieth Firmament felt the phenomenon.

In one human city, countless cultivators stared up at the golden sky, their faces white as paper.

One person's artifact slipped from his hand and struck the ground with a clear clang.

Another person's knees gave out, dropping him to the ground as he muttered, "It's over... it's over..."

Others looked at one another and saw the same fear reflected back at them.

"The... the sky changed..."

"That aura... it's a Grand Zenith Immortal!"
