A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5351

Scattered across that plain, mystical herbs towered as tall as a grown man. Their leaves shimmered with spiritual light, and ruby-red fruit hung at their crowns, pulsating with delectable spiritual energy.

Here and there, veins of living jade heaved up from the soil—exposed celestial ley lines. Dim gold spiritual energy rushed through the translucent stone like blood through a giant's heart.

“So this is Celestial Fall Plains,” Jared murmured, wonder slipping through his usual composure. On level five, I've seen many spiritual veins, yet never a network of celestial ley lines this dense or this pure.

Just the resources beneath their feet could rival half the power blocs of level five combined.

No wonder Celestia reigned as one of the apex forces of level six. The realization left a cold admiration coiling through Jared's chest.

Bound and silent, Lorraine felt the familiar aura of her homeland rise to meet her. Instead of comfort, the sensation carved fresh bitterness across her face. She turned her head away from the fertile plains, as though the very soil that had once nurtured the celestials sickened her.

“Ahead lies Celestia City,” she said at last, her voice cool as a blade. “Three concentric barriers guard it. Only those bearing Celestia's token or bloodline of the celestials may pass. Force your way through, and the barriers set up with celestial power will tear you apart.”

Jared offered no reply. His eyes narrowed on the horizon.

There—at the far edge of the plain—a colossal silhouette surfaced, a city-wall crown emerging from the haze.

The ramparts were hewn from pale gold celestial stone, soaring three hundred meters high. Intricate divine markings—each line humming with sacred law—crawled across the masonry. Their shifting glow fed a translucent dome that wrapped the entire metropolis, radiating a pressure that made even the clouds hesitate.

At the gate stood several dozen Celestial Guards in silver armor. Every guard's aura burned at Earthly Immortal Realm Level Seven or higher, and the divine wings markings on their spears flashed like starlight, forbidding as drawn swords.
