A Man Like None Other

“Okay.” Jared nodded.

After stepping out of the thatched hut, Mickey turned to Jared and flashed him a grin. “Jared, follow me.”

Mickey led Jared toward the Duad Formation Sect; while Divinus and Hellion continued to sip their wine.

“Divinus, how long do you reckon this youngster will take to break through the Heaven and Earth Array, allowing us to return to the celestial realm?” Hellion asked.

Divinus slowly extended a finger, not uttering a word.

“A hundred years?” Hellion seemed taken aback. “That can’t be possible. This guy wouldn’t have been able to overcome the tribulation stage in a hundred years, let alone break through the Heaven and Earth Array.”

“Not a hundred years,” Divinus stated.

“Is it a thousand years then?” Hellion calmed down. “A thousand years might be possible, but it means we’ll have to keep lingering here. By the time we return to the celestial realm, everything might have changed beyond recognition. The old-timers who were with us, with their thousands of years of cultivation, will likely have skills far surpassing ours. We’ll just end up as the butt of their jokes.”

“Haha, Hellion, why are you so pessimistic? Can’t it be a year?” Divinus chuckled.

“A year?” Upon hearing this, Hellion hurriedly shook his head. “Stop kidding me, there’s no way this kid can break through the Heaven and Earth Array in just a year. Absolutely impossible.”

“Hellion, haven’t you noticed that this young man is extraordinary? Consider how a Sixth Level Tribulator was able to defeat cultivators of the Ultimate Realm. He carries the aura of three races within him. Despite being a novice, he has a vast nascence space and has mastered several types of internal flames. In just a few days, he cultivated his own primordial divine markings. Not only that, but within hours, he learned several types of divine markings. Your own divine markings were even refined instantly, forming a connection with the demonic markings. Have you ever wondered why all these unusual occurrences are happening?” Divinus exclaimed.

“Why is that?” Hellion asked curiously.

“You, my friend, don’t use your head at all. Why don’t you look into his primordial demonic markings yourself?” Divinus chuckled.

“You know, I really haven’t looked into this guy before.”

As he spoke, Hellion lightly tapped the void with his finger, and the demonic markings flickered before vanishing instantly.

In that fleeting moment, Hellion’s eyes widened in surprise. The wine glass he was holding slipped from his hand and crashed to the floor.

“D-Divinus, is he… the Golden Dragon’s True Form, the son of a dragon? Could he be that person’s child?” Hellion was stricken with fear.

“Indeed, that’s why I said, given a year, there’s a chance that the Heaven and Earth Array can be broken through.” Divinus nodded.

After a considerable pause, Hellion’s face lit up with excitement. He laughed, “Haha, we might not even need a year. In half a year’s time, we could be back in the celestial realm. I can’t believe we actually considered taking him as our apprentice. This is truly embarrassing. If those celestial realm geezers found out, they’d probably laugh at us for the rest of our lives.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Divinus replied, “If it wasn’t for him manifesting his primordial divine markings, I wouldn’t have investigated further. Who would have guessed his true identity? His identity is now deeply concealed, and I doubt many could discern it. Therefore, we must keep this matter confidential.”

“Rest assured, Divinus, We’re here all the time, there’s no way we’d tell anyone else. Given his status, he’s likely hiding his true identity even more as he grows stronger. It’s unlikely he’ll reveal himself until absolutely necessary. It’s astonishing that someone of the dragon’s lineage is hiding out here in the Ethereal Realm.” Hellion sighed.

“Perhaps he himself isn’t aware of his true identity. Let’s just wait patiently.” Divinus gave a faint smile.

Hellion and Divinus clinked their glasses, drinking with increasing gusto.
