A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6276

Under the impact of that violet radiance, the ghostly green flames covering the three skeletal hands went out in an instant.

Cracks spread across the bones, dense and countless.

They let out a silent screech and slowly pulled back into the Sea of Flame.

But Jared paid for it too.

Blood seeped from all seven of his facial openings.

The meridians inside him burned like they were being fed to a furnace, and the pain nearly knocked him out.

The chaotic force was powerful, but the drain it demanded was just as terrifying.

That one strike had nearly emptied him of every last bit of strength.

The passage started to collapse.

The walls of flame on both sides started closing faster.

Ghostly green fire came flooding in from every direction.

Jared dragged out the last of his strength and charged for the isle.

Ten yards.

Five yards.

One yard.

At last, his foot slammed down onto the ground of the isle.

The instant he made it ashore, the passage behind him crashed shut.

Ghostfire rolled back over the entire basin.

Jared's legs gave out, and he dropped to his knees.

He sucked in rough breaths. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, from his nostrils, from his ears, then dripped onto the charred black rock.

Gwendolyn rushed over and caught hold of him.

"Are you out of your mind?" Her voice shook, and her eyes had already gone red. "Do you even know how close that was? If you had been one step slower, you would've..."

"But I didn't die." Jared forced out a smile and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Where's the pearl?"

Gwendolyn looked at him.

Her lips trembled a little, like she wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

She stood up, walked to the stone dais, and reached out to take down the pearl that kept changing colors.

The pearl gave a slight tremor in her palm, then went still.

Its color finally settled into a pale gold.

That was the color formed after the Ice God Bloodline and the Golden Dragon Bloodline fused together.

Gwendolyn held the pearl in both hands and stayed quiet for a long time.

Then she turned, walked over to Jared, and crouched down in front of him.

"Take it."

Jared paused. "What?"

"The Heart of the Northern Abyss."

Gwendolyn set the pearl into Jared's hand. "Your chaotic force can hold it. Fuse it into your body, and your strength will make a real leap."

Jared looked at the pearl in his hand, then back up at Gwendolyn.

"Isn't this what you wanted? The source of the Frost Deity Branch..."

Gwendolyn shook her head.

The corner of her mouth lifted a little. In that faint smile, something had finally loosened, and along with it came a softness that didn't need a name.

"I don't need it anymore."

She raised a hand, palm up.

A pale golden radiance appeared in her palm.

It looked denser than before, brighter too. The dimness that had clung to its edges was completely gone.

"Our dual cultivation, plus the fight in the Sea of the Dead just now, has already tempered my bloodline enough. The bloodline of the Frost Deity Branch has already come back to life."

"More importantly, the bloodlines our dual cultivation fused together now carry each other's feelings."

She looked at Jared, her gaze quiet and gentle.

Jared understood what Gwendolyn meant.

If that first round of dual cultivation had only been a transaction between them, then things were different now. At this point, what Gwendolyn felt for him had already gone far beyond that.

"Right now, the Heart of the Northern Abyss is only icing on the cake for me.
