The Man’s Decree

At that moment, Jared was engrossed in inscribing the divine markings, oblivious to everything else around him.

After all, being stuck in this place, with Mickey looking out for him, he thought there was no danger.

While Jared was engrossed in inscribing the divine markings, he was abruptly interrupted by an unusual fluctuation of aura, compelling him to open his eyes.

Before he knew it, there stood an elderly man in a black robe right before his eyes.

The elder scrutinized Jared, his gaze filled with profound disbelief.

“Brat, how many divine markings have you mastered so far?” the elder asked.

Jared glanced at the other person, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he asked, “Who are you? Why should I tell you anything?”

“Hahaha! Who am I?” The old man let out a hearty laugh, casually waving his hand.

In an instant, the sky turned pitch black, and amidst the darkness, array runes began to emerge.

The complexity of these array runes was in no way inferior to the divine markings that Jared was inscribing at that moment.

Moreover, these array runes were like a multitude of stars, filling the entire sky.

Upon seeing such enormous array runes, even Jared was rendered speechless.

However, amidst these array runes, waves of demonic aura were continuously emanating.

At that moment, Jared instantly understood who the person before him was.

“Are you Hellion?” Jared asked in surprise.

“Indeed, I am Hellion. The divine markings you’ve been cultivating are far from the best. My demonic markings are the superior ones. Stop practicing these divine markings and learn demonic markings from me instead. I assure you that you’ll be able to ascend to the celestial realm when the time comes.”

Hellion was tempting Jared.

“Are demonic markings really that powerful?” Jared was skeptical.

“Of course. Can’t you see? Plus, if you learn from me, I’ll personally teach you. Not like my senior, who’s always fishing for fame and bring pretentious. He doesn’t even bother to teach his own disciples.” Hellion was badmouthing Divinus.

“That’s bullsh*t…”

No sooner had the words been spoken than Divinus appeared. He then said to Jared, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. The demonic markings are nowhere near as powerful as the divine markings. Besides, you’ve already cultivated your own primordial divine markings, so it’s impossible for you to cultivate demonic markings now.”

In a hurry, Hellion exclaimed, “You can cultivate! I can remove your primordial divine markings, allowing you to reforge your primordial demonic markings!”

“Hellion, this is f*ck up. You’re trying to steal my disciple right in front of me!” Divinus was furious!

“Divinus, why are you cursing again? You have no manners at all,” Hellion said unhappily.

“Who are you to talk about manners when you’re stealing someone else’s disciple? Have you no shame?” Divinus roared in fury.

At this point, the two old men started arguing over Jared. Had they not just exerted themselves and were still recovering, they probably would have come to blows again.

Jared watched the two bickering individuals, rendered speechless by their squabble.

Moreover, from what he could gather, these two were apparently fellow apprentices. Yet, Jared couldn’t comprehend how such close fellow apprentices could have ended up in the state they were in at that moment.

“Stop! That’s enough… Both of you, stop arguing! I’m not anyone’s disciple. What on earth are you all arguing about?” Jared quickly said.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The two were taken aback. Divinus turned to Jared and said, “You’ve managed to refine your own primordial divine markings, no? How are you not my disciple?”

“Of course, I’m not. I didn’t formally acknowledge you as my master. It was you who trapped me here and made me learn. I’ve studied your divine markings, and I can respectfully call you Elder Divinus. But as for becoming my master, you’re not quite qualified yet…” Jared answered.

With just one sentence, Jared managed to stun Divinus.

Hellion laughed heartily. “Haha! This young man has potential! That’s the way to go!”

Divinus was flushed with indignation. “Am I, a Star Array Immortal from the celestial realm, not qualified to be your master? Aren’t you being overly arrogant?”

Divinus was absolutely livid.
