The Man’s Decree

“My goodness! What technique did he use? How did he suddenly grow an extra eye?”

“Could that be the heavenly eye? Could he be the Chosen One?”

“It’s the heavenly eye, no doubt about it! Just look at the radiance emanating from that divine eye. There’s a celestial energy to it!”

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of a third eye on Jared, many started discussing it among themselves.

Meanwhile, the sight of it instantly left Gael utterly astonished.

He was shaken to the core by the appearance of the third eye.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

As for Harlan, he was visibly shocked. The sense of relief he was just beginning to feel promptly turned back to agitation, and he looked at Berthold anxiously.

“Let’s see what you’ve got,” Jared said, fixing his gaze on Berthold while a slight smile played on his lips.

Berthold’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although he possessed the Divine Flame Seal, he could not stop a sense of fear from creeping into his heart.

“Don’t get too cocky, Jared. It was you who pushed me to this point. I’ll show you the disparity in our cultivation levels and just how insurmountable it is. You’re merely a Fourth Level Tribulator. No matter how many techniques you have under your belt, they’re all useless.”

A thunderous rumbling echoed through the air.

No sooner had Berthold finished speaking than a series of flame auras surged continuously from the Divine Flame Seal into his body.

At the same time, the clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and dark clouds rushed toward Jared and his companions from all directions.

Wild winds howled as everything around them suddenly plunged into darkness.

It felt as though it was the end of the world!

Seeing the dark clouds gathering abruptly, Gael exclaimed in surprise, “Tribulation clouds? Could it be that Berthold wants to ascend to the Ultimate Realm?”

“Looks like it. He’s actually using the Divine Flame Seal for tribulation. Is he mad? How could he dare to break through a lightning tribulation during a fight?” Dario piped up, flabbergasted.

After all, tribulation is highly dangerous. If one tries to undergo tribulation while in combat, any interference from the opponent could not only cause them to fail but potentially even cost them their life!

Juliet and the others also looked stunned, and they called out to Jared, “Hurry up and do something! Don’t let those lightning tribulation clouds take form!”

At that moment, Berthold was at his most vulnerable. Hence, if Jared decided to intervene and prevent him from succeeding in his tribulation, there was a significant chance of success!

However, Berthold burst out laughing. “Don’t think you can catch me off guard during my tribulation. I had anticipated this. I’ve remained as a Top Level Tribulator for quite some time now, all in preparation to use the Divine Flame Seal to ascend to the Ultimate Realm. Once I’ve attained it, you’ll be as insignificant as ants to me. The disparity between our cultivation levels isn’t something those techniques of yours could ever bridge. Just wait to meet your doom. I’ll let you have a taste of an Ultimate Realm cultivator’s power!”

Initially, Berthold had not intended to advance to the Ultimate Realm while fighting Jared. However, I have no choice. If I don’t become an Ultimate Realm cultivator, I won’t stand a chance against him.

“Have you forgotten? Mr. Talbot was also an Ultimate Realm cultivator, yet he ended up getting beaten to a pulp by me,” Jared responded with a faint smirk.

He did not appear to be afraid of Berthold advancing to the Ultimate Realm, nor did he have any intention of stopping him.

Berthold snorted. “Mr. Talbot mentioned that you’ve been relying on a demonic soul to forcibly enhance your abilities, but such a method comes with its repercussions. Your body will soon suffer the consequences. Let’s see whether your demonic soul will still be of any use to you once I advance to the Ultimate Realm!”

“Sure. I’ll wait for you, then.”

Jared watched quietly as Berthold elevated his cultivation level.

He even lit up a cigarette and took a strong drag, appearing to be utterly enjoying himself.

Meanwhile, dark lightning tribulation clouds blanketed the sky, and bolts of lightning streaked across them.
