The Man’s Decree

When Jared observed his surroundings, he realized that the scene had undergone a complete transformation. It was no longer the familiar landscape of Divine Quest Sect's secret realm.

When Quindon and the others heard Feenix's words, they were shocked too.

Despite their long-held dreams of the restoration of spiritual energy, there was an unexpected sense of unease and apprehension among them now that it had truly happened. The recovery of spiritual energy brought with it a deep sense of crisis, casting a shadow over their initial excitement.

With the restoration of the spiritual energy and the collapse of the secret realms came another issue—their loved ones were exposed to the mundane world, and they had no idea what chaos would ensue in the mundane world.

“Why did this turn out this way? Why? I failed to stop the restoration of the spiritual energy. But... I don't see any signs of the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation being activated.”

Jared was puzzled by the situation. The Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation showed no signs of activation. He and Skylar were part of its activation process, but the two of them had been engaged in a fight until then, so how was the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation supposed to activate?

Jared was nothing but lost. Turning to Tanner, he noticed that Tanner was still floating motionlessly in the air, half visible and still expressionless.

Jared's brow furrowed deeply as alarm bells rang in his head. Something did not add up. Tanner had invested considerable effort in restoring the spiritual energy in the mundane world, but there was a conspicuous absence of excitement or satisfaction on his face.

“Hahaha! The spiritual energy has been restored! Jared Chance, you're no longer worth keeping around, so I'm going to put you six feet underground today!”

It was only then Skylar realized that the Divine Quest Sect's secret realm had disappeared and that the mundane world's spiritual energy had been restored.

Now that the spiritual energy had been restored, Jared was no longer of any use to Tanner. In other words, Skylar could kill Jared without worrying about Tanner's disapproval.

Skylar's body shuddered as five drops of blood essence erupted from his forehead and shot toward the black hole. Tremors rippled through the void, and suddenly, thunderous roars reverberated as five colossal demon beasts emerged from the depths of the black hole.

Like the monoceros demon beast, the demon beasts were all Manifestor demon beasts.

Jared narrowed his eyes. Skylar had summoned six Manifestor demon beasts, and it was a stressful situation for Jared. Although he had Feenix by his side, and though Feenix was much more powerful than those demon beasts, they were only two beings against seven.

“Jared, I'm going to have the beasts swallow you whole!”

With that said, Skylar instructed the monoceros demon beast to dash toward Jared as the rest of the demon beasts surrounded Jared.

At that, Quindon and the members of Divine Smithing Sect moved to lend Jared a helping hand, but before they could do so, the members of Evil Heart Sect stood in their way.

With another twirl, Feenix transformed into a blazing phoenix with majestic wings before positioning herself protectively in front of Jared.

At the same time, Zelda turned into her human form to shield Jared with a magic sword in her hand.
