The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6505

"The old man in white raised his hand and swept it through the air.

The ward above the jade basin slowly dissolved. Across the surface of the milky Genesis Dew, ripples spread one layer after another, and the glow rising from it grew even denser."

"That light was warm and soft.

Yet it carried an indescribable weight, as if the whole world had been gathered inside it."

"Jared's soul drifted slowly toward the jade basin.

He moved at a crawl. Around him, the Aureate Codex's golden radiance flowed in a thin circuit, barely holding the mist outside."

"With every inch forward, an invisible pressure squeezed down on his soul.

It was as if countless hands were pulling at him from every side, trying to tear him apart."

"Master Wellspring kept his hand pressed to the hilt of his sword.

He did not dare speak. He did not dare move. Even his breathing thinned on instinct, as if one rough breath might disturb what was happening before him."

"His eyes locked hard on that violet soul.

He did not dare blink. Not even once."

"Morgana stood off to the side, her white robes like snow, her long hair dark as ink.

In her amber eyes, that wavering violet radiance trembled in reflection."

"Her hand lifted slightly, then lowered again.

She could not help. This was Jared's own Elder Soulborn Trial."

"The old man in white watched in silence.

A fly-whisk hung lightly at his side, and nothing on his face gave away what lay behind it."

At last, Jared's soul drifted above the jade basin.

"The glow of the spiritual water washed over him.

Milky-white light tangled with violet radiance, throwing that wavering orb of light into sharp brightness one instant and shadowed dimness the next."

"He hovered over the spiritual water.

From below came nascence force so dense it almost seemed to have taken solid form, like an ocean with no visible bottom, waiting in silence to swallow anything that dared enter it."

"He did not hesitate.

Slowly, he sank."

"The instant the spirit touched the spiritual water, a vast force surged in from every direction.

It wrapped around him completely."

"That force did not attack.

It did not crush.

It poured in."

"The nascence force within the Genesis Dew seemed to have found a vessel.

It rushed wildly into Jared's soul, moving at a speed that made no sense."

"Jared's soul shuddered hard.

The violet radiance flared all at once, then dimmed just as violently, as if it were locked in a brutal struggle against that force."

"His soul shook violently inside the spiritual water, giving off a low, humming tremor.

That sound carried agony, resistance, and something that refused to yield."

"Master Wellspring's face went bloodless, and his body lurched one step forward.

""Aureate Heir!"""

"Don't move."

"The old man in white spoke calmly, but there was no room in his voice for argument.

""This is the process of the spiritual water merging with the spirit. Right now, he is using his own soul to contain the nascence force within the Genesis Dew. If he cannot withstand it, no one can save him. If you go up there, you will only interfere with him."""

"Master Wellspring's foot stopped in midair.

He froze there."

"His fists clenched until his knuckles creaked.

His nails dug into his palms, and blood dripped down through the gaps between his fingers."

"He gritted his teeth.

His eyes burned red, but he did not dare take another step."

"Morgana set her hand on Master Wellspring's shoulder and patted it lightly.

""Believe in him."""

Inside the jade basin, Jared's soul was passing through torment beyond imagining.

"The nascence force within the Genesis Dew was too dense.

It poured in too fast, and his soul had no time to digest it."

"That power tore through his soul in every direction, like raging rivers smashing through their banks.

It tried to swell his already-fragile spirit body until it split apart."

"Fine cracks began to spread along the edges of his soul.

Violet light seeped out through those fractures, making him look like a glass lamp on the verge of shattering."

"The Aureate Codex's golden radiance worked desperately to mend those cracks.

But too much power was pouring in, and it came too fast. The mending fell far behind the breaking."

"""Ah—""

"Jared's soul grew more and more solid.

The violet radiance shone brighter and brighter, and the outline of his entire form became clearer with every breath."

"Master Wellspring knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together.

His lips kept trembling, and no one could tell whether he was praying or muttering something under his breath."

"Morgana stood to the side, her gaze never leaving the jade basin.

Her eyes stayed tight on the luminous shape, yet a thin light kept burning there."

At last, the final trace of spiritual water was absorbed by Jared's soul.

"The jade basin lay empty.

Not a single drop remained."

The violet soul hovered above the jade basin, its whole form giving off a gentle, mellow glow.

The Aureate Codex's golden radiance flowed around the soul, weaving together with the violet radiance until it formed a flawless luminous cocoon.

"The aura inside the luminous cocoon had grown stronger by an unknowable number of times.

It was a power that could not be clearly named—not pure spiritual power, not pure soul-force, but a perfect fusion of both."

"Master Wellspring stared blankly at the luminous cocoon, his lips quivering.

Only after a long while did he force out a single line. ""It... it worked?"""

"The old man in white stepped forward and stopped beside the jade basin.

He looked at the luminous cocoon and remained silent for a long time."

"Then he turned around and looked at Master Wellspring and Morgana.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly."

"Not bad. The heir of the Aureate Codex truly did not disappoint me. The Genesis Dew is his now."

He paused, then continued, "Once he finishes absorbing it, the reshaping of his physical body will be close at hand. My mission can be considered complete."

"After saying that, he turned away, and the shadowing figure gradually faded into the mist.

Only one faint sentence remained behind. ""Tell that boy the future of the Aureate Way rests on him."""

"Master Wellspring dropped to his knees with a heavy thud and kowtowed three times toward the place where the old man in white had vanished.

""Ancestor, rest assured. Your servant will protect the Aureate Heir!"""

Morgana stood beside the luminous cocoon and reached out, gently touching its surface.

The luminous cocoon was warm and smooth as jade, giving off a faint heat, like a newborn life quietly taking shape within.

"Jared, you have to wake up," she said softly.

Inside the luminous cocoon, the violet radiance brightened faintly, as if answering her.
