Legend of Wyatt

In such a short span of time, he actually picked up two points in a row.

There’s only one possibility:

Bruno Fortin must have killed two Love Rowan Upper Immortals in quick succession, so he could seize two points in such a short time.

"He killed two in a row... looks like this Bruno Fortin’s strength is anything but ordinary."

"Yeah. This time, everyone who was able to enter the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm is basically a top figure among the Love Rowan Upper Immortals... for him to kill two people back‑to‑back in such a short period, whether he won by sheer strength or by tricks, it’s enough to prove he’s not simple."

"I wonder which power this Bruno Fortin belongs to."

"I know this Bruno Fortin, he’s from the Eastbright Kingdom’s side, a loose cultivator... moreover, back then on Eastbright Kingdom’s South Heaven Arena, with a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal cultivation, he crushed the combined forces of the other eight Love Rowan Upper Immortals that Eastbright Kingdom brought this time."

"Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal cultivation, and he was that powerful... could it be he’s comprehended a Law Rule Profundity?"

"Exactly! And according to rumors, the Law Rule he comprehended isn’t some ordinary Law Rule, but one of the four Supreme Law Rules—the ’Death Law’!"

"The Death Law?!"

...

After Bruno Fortin climbed to the top of the points ranking, it also stirred up a wave of heated discussion.

And once Bruno Fortin’s background, as well as the Law Rule he’d comprehended, were exposed, an uproar swept across the scene.

Of course, at this time, quite a few people also walked on air toward the Eastbright Kingdom’s Son of Heaven to congratulate him.

"A loose cultivator, Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal cultivation, and he swept aside the eight most outstanding Love Rowan Upper Immortals of an eighth‑grade Immortal Kingdom?"

"The Death Law?"

When the five leaders of the Three Sects and Two Clans heard people talking about the Bruno Fortin who now sat at the top of the points ranking, they too were drawn in by these two achievements of his.

"Never thought the second person to reach the top of the points ranking would be such an outstanding young man..."

Changsun Xiongqi of the Davidson Clan sighed.

But before his sigh was over, another voice reached his ear, "Rumor has it that Bruno Fortin is still under a hundred years old this year!"

"Less than a hundred?!"

Hearing that, even the Third Sect Leader of the Hehuan Immortal Sect, Sect Leader Green Wave, was moved. "In this opening of the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, such a genius has actually appeared?"

Comprehended the Death Law.

With Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal cultivation, he crushed the eight most outstanding Love Rowan Upper Immortals of an eighth‑grade Immortal Kingdom.

Such achievements, while impressive, aren’t unheard of if you look across the entire territory of Mystic Abyss Mansion—there are still quite a few who can pull that off.

But if, before these achievements, you add the fact that he’s under a hundred years old, the meaning becomes completely different.

"This one, I’m claiming... as for the others, I won’t compete with you."

Sect Leader Green Wave swept a bland glance over Changsun Xiongqi and the other leaders of the Two Sects and Two Clans who had come this time, and spoke.

Hearing Sect Leader Green Wave’s words, the four didn’t hesitate at all and shook their heads outright.

"Sect Leader Green Wave, I’m afraid I can’t agree to that... setting aside how I’d explain it to our Sect Leader if I did, it seems the rules laid down by Mystic Abyss Mansion don’t allow this either, do they?"

The old man leading the Baopu Immortal Sect, who was also Baopu Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder, Grant Graham, spoke frankly.

"Sect Leader Green Wave, I can’t agree to that either."

The old monk heading the Yuntai Immortal Sect, namely the Yuntai Immortal Sect’s Arhat Palace Palace Master, Chantry Constant, echoed right after.

Yuntai Immortal Sect is led by its Sect Leader.

Below the Sect Leader, apart from the two Protectors, the ones with the highest status are the various Palace Masters of Yuntai Immortal Sect.

Among the Palace Masters of Yuntai Immortal Sect, the Arhat Palace’s Palace Master, Chantry Constant, is the strongest.

Precisely because of this, in Yuntai Immortal Sect, Chantry Constant is an existence whose status is second only to the Sect Leader and the two Protectors.

"Sect Leader Green Wave, don’t make things difficult for me on this."

The elder leading the Chester Clan, Carter Chester, said with a bitter smile. Compared to Chantry Constant and Grant Graham, he seemed a bit lacking in confidence.

"Sect Leader Green Wave, I think we should wait for him to come out and let him choose for himself."

Changsun Xiongqi of the Davidson Clan was the last to respond. His tone was calm, and his words tactful, but it was clearly also an indirect refusal of Sect Leader Green Wave.

Faced with the four’s responses, Sect Leader Green Wave narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of cold light passing through them, but he didn’t say anything more.

If it were only these four in front of him, he alone would be enough to kill them all.

The problem is, behind these four stand seventh‑grade powers whose ties to Mystic Abyss Mansion are as close as those of his own Hehuan Immortal Sect.

Killing these four would be easy, but cleaning up the aftermath after killing them would be anything but.

The forces behind these four have close relations with Mystic Abyss Mansion; even their House Master would not allow him to lightly make enemies of those four great powers.

"Another name has appeared!"

"The fourth name has shown up too!"

"That’s the fifth name!"

...

Not long after Bruno Fortin got two points in one go and took the top spot on the points ranking, several others successively climbed onto the ranking as well.

However, according to people who knew those that made it onto the ranking, they could only barely be considered among the outstanding ones even within peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals.

Their strength was still far from being on the same level as Bruno Fortin.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

On the points ranking, over a thousand names were already hanging there, and the person at the top was no longer Bruno Fortin; Bruno had been squeezed down to second place.

The one at the very top was named ’Walter Bright’, a man from a seventh-grade power, who entered South Heaven’s Ancient Realm not to join the Three Sects and Two Clans, but to use them as a stepping stone to enter Mystic Abyss Mansion.

"Walter Bright already has eight points... Who on earth is he? Why does he feel even more freakish than Bruno Fortin?"

"You don’t even know Walter Bright? He’s from the seventh-grade clan ’Bright Clan’, and he’s known as the Bright Clan’s number one genius in ten thousand years... He hadn’t even reached two hundred years of age before he broke through to peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal, and he’s already comprehended a Law Rule Profound Meaning."

"So... his strength isn’t weaker than Bruno Fortin’s?"

"He’s probably still a bit weaker than Bruno... After all, Bruno Fortin has comprehended the Death Law Rule, whereas he has only comprehended the Water Law Rule."

"Every time South Heaven’s Ancient Realm opens, some people from seventh-grade powers come to join the fun... They want to use the Three Sects and Two Clans to get into Mystic Abyss Mansion, but how many actually succeed in the end?"

"Exactly... So many from seventh-grade powers, after passing through the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, join the Three Sects and Two Clans that are likewise seventh-grade powers like the ones behind them, yet in the end they fail Mystic Abyss Mansion’s assessment, can’t get in, and can only go back to their previous power with their tails between their legs."

"I really don’t know why the Three Sects and Two Clans are willing to take these people in... They’re obviously ungrateful wolves you can’t raise properly!"

"Heh... Actually, the Three Sects and Two Clans don’t want to recruit people from other seventh-grade powers either, but Mystic Abyss Mansion has ordered them not to refuse, so they have no choice."

...

Twenty days went by, and the points ranking already had over a thousand names; the vast majority only had two points, while the one at the top had eight points.

As for Bruno Fortin, he was in second place with seven points.

"Qi’er!"

All of a sudden, a cry of grief rang out, drawing many gazes.

It was an aged old man staring at the shattered Soul Bead in his hand, his eyes about to crack, tears streaming down his wrinkled face.

"That’s... the royal Sacrificial Officer of the Tayi Immortal Kingdom, the Immortal King ’Richard Yorke’. Seeing him like this now, could it be that his grandson who entered South Heaven’s Ancient Realm has fallen?"

"Most likely... Richard Yorke’s grandson is precisely the one named ’Jason Yorke’!"

"That Jason Yorke could also be considered quite strong among peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals... To fall so quickly, it seems his luck was very bad; he must have run into someone much stronger than him not long after going in."

"And obviously someone against whom he didn’t even have the ability to escape... If the opponent’s strength were only a bit higher than his, his speed might not be weaker, and he’d still have a chance to escape with his life."

"The identity of the first person to fall has been exposed... As for the identities of the other fallen ones, can that be far off?"

...

As everyone’s gaze fell on the old man and discussions erupted, the old man again narrowed his eyes and swept over the names on the points ranking one by one, as though wanting to pick out the murderer who’d killed his grandson from within them.

But even if at most only one-tenth of the people on the ranking were capable of killing his grandson, that was still over a hundred people.

Unless that person came out later and personally admitted to killing his grandson, or some eyewitness survived to come out and tell him.

Otherwise, how could he possibly find the one who had killed his grandson?

"Yuan’er!"

"Xiaokai!"

"Mochou!"

...

Following the first shattered Soul Bead, quite a few other people’s Soul Beads also shattered in succession, and every one of those people’s faces turned extremely ugly.

Those who held Soul Beads in their hands were basically all people representing the powers behind them.

Some of them were even their closest blood relatives.

Some rejoiced, some grieved...

More people were watching the points ranking floating in midair with hopeful faces, as if they wanted to see some particular name appear there.

"The royal child has made the ranking, Bradley has also made the ranking... but that Wyatt Barnes still hasn’t? With his strength, that shouldn’t be the case..."

The Autumn Holding Kingdom’s Son of Heaven, Cyrus Cruz, swept his gaze across the points ranking once more, but still couldn’t find the name ’Wyatt Barnes’.

"In that case, there are only two possibilities... One is that Wyatt Barnes still hasn’t made a move; the second is that Wyatt Barnes has died at someone’s hand."

At that thought, Cyrus Cruz sank his Divine Sense into his Storage Ring and took a look inside.

Wyatt Barnes’s Soul Bead was lying there quietly in his Storage Ring, completely intact.

He instantly let out a breath of relief.

Only, when his gaze brushed over the other Soul Beads, his expression changed slightly, because he saw one of them shatter right before his eyes!

This Soul Bead belonged to one of the peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals they’d brought from Autumn Holding Kingdom this time whose strength was fairly decent.

Of course, among the nine Love Rowan Upper Immortals Autumn Holding Kingdom had brought this time, that one’s strength could only be ranked at the bottom.

But even so, Cyrus Cruz still felt rather uncomfortable in his heart.
