Chapter 2758: A Daai Law Golden Immortal Under 100 Years Old?!
"He... How did he get up there?!"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes’ action, the Seventh Prince Kye Dragonsmith, who was initially furious due to the Thirteenth Prince Crue Dragonsmith’s words, couldn’t help but change his expression. He never expected Wyatt Barnes to go up.
This purple-clad youth isn’t a disciple from a powerful sect outside the Desolate Territory, is he?
Since he has sect affiliation, logically, he wouldn’t be interested in the ’Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory,’ nor would he participate in it.
Because the purpose of the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory is for the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory to recruit sect disciples.
"Why is it him?!"
As Kye Dragonsmith’s face changed drastically due to Wyatt Barnes stepping onto the stage, the Fourth Prince Judson Dragonsmith also noticed Wyatt’s action and became somewhat dazed.
However, Annie Campbell, the third lady of the Campbell Family beside Judson Dragonsmith, suddenly flashed her eyes and murmured to herself, "I didn’t expect him to actually participate in this selection... It seems he is interested in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory."
Annie Campbell didn’t tell anyone that the reason she came to observe the Imperial Family’s selection in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation today was entirely because she suspected Wyatt might come.
Based on her investigation, Wyatt Barnes might not have a significant background.
If Wyatt Barnes doesn’t have a notable background and no sect, then he might likely join one of the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory through the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory, as it is the most suitable path for someone without a background.
Moreover, Wyatt Barnes is close to the Thirteenth Prince Crue Dragonsmith, which means it’s not impossible for Crue Dragonsmith to participate in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory.
Even though she thought that way before, Annie Campbell wasn’t one hundred percent sure that Wyatt Barnes would be interested in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory or even participate in it...
Until this moment, she finally confirmed.
"It seems that nine chances out of ten he doesn’t have sect affiliation... Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to participate in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory."
Annie Campbell thought to herself.
Normally, someone with sect affiliation wouldn’t participate in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory.
Because the outstanding ones in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory would be accepted by the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory, although they can refuse, they wouldn’t receive the ’rewards’ from the Grand Competition.
So, those with sect affiliation generally wouldn’t participate in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory out of boredom.
"Of course, there’s also another possibility... He participates in today’s selection just to obtain a spot in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory without planning to make a mark there."
Thinking of this, Annie Campbell’s heart sank again, "His participation in the selection may just be to help the Thirteenth Prince Crue Dragonsmith compete for the ’First Prince’ title in this selection."
"In the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory, he might directly concede or forfeit... That way, he wouldn’t get involved with the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory."
Suddenly, Annie Campbell also felt that Wyatt Barnes might still have an impressive background.
"One day... I will uncover your background!"
Annie Campbell stared at Wyatt Barnes’ back on stage, murmuring to herself.
"Sis... How did he get up there?"
Standing beside Annie Campbell was the fourth lady of the Campbell Family, Jenny Campbell, who was also dazed upon seeing Wyatt Barnes appear on the stone platform in the center of the Glory Palace’s hall.
In her impression, this purple-clad youth isn’t someone from a powerful sect outside the Desolate Territory, is he?
If that’s the case, why would he participate in today’s selection?
Someone who already belongs to a sect can still join one of the three great Immortal Sects after the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory?
In response to Jenny Campbell’s question, Annie Campbell said, "Maybe he doesn’t intend to make a mark in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory or attract the attention of the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory... His participation in today’s selection might be just to help the Thirteenth Prince compete for the ’First Prince’ title."
Hearing Annie Campbell’s words, Jenny Campbell suddenly understood, and she also relayed these words to the Fourth Prince Judson Dragonsmith.
"So that’s how it is."
Upon hearing that the words were from Annie Campbell, plus the fact that these words resolved his doubts, Judson Dragonsmith also felt the ’truth’ was actually this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Old Seventh... You went to great lengths to compete for the ’First Prince’ title in this selection, even colluding with Kingston Majestic Royal Palace and recruiting Pole Wind’s help for you. But unexpectedly, you were the insect, and the oriole was behind, right?"
Judson Dragonsmith looked at the Seventh Prince Kye Dragonsmith, with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth.
To be honest, if one of his brothers, the Seventh or Thirteenth Prince, had to win the ’First Prince’ title in today’s selection, he would prefer his Thirteenth Brother to win.
Because:
His Thirteenth Brother, although good in all aspects, is unlikely to ascend the throne of the Immortal Kingdom of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation even if he wins the ’First Prince’ title in this selection, due to his father’s favoritism.
But his Seventh Brother is different.
His Seventh Brother, whose conditions in all aspects are similar to his, is deeply loved by their father like himself. If he won the ’First Prince’ title in this selection, it would surely make their father view him differently.
That’s not something he wants to see.
After all, in that case, the ’balance’ between him and his Seventh Brother would be broken.
"He... How did he get up there?"
Now, not only are the Seventh Prince, the Fourth Prince, and others surprised, but even the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, Leif Dragonsmith, is similarly baffled. He never expected the purple-clad youth, who seemed to have a remarkable background in his eyes, would step onto the stage.
According to his knowledge:
This purple-clad youth appears to be a Daai Law Golden Immortal who is less than a hundred years old, right?
However, even if the opposite party is an under-one-hundred-years Daai Law Golden Immortal, he seemed to be a disciple from a powerful sect outside of the Desolate Territory, right?
Could a young power with sect affiliation participate in the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory?
Even if he participates in the Grand Competition, would he join one of the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory?
"It seems he’s trying to help the Thirteenth compete for the ’First Prince’... When the Grand Competition of the Desolate Territory starts, he might not represent our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation to join one of the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory."
Thinking of this, Leif Dragonsmith’s gaze fell on the Thirteenth Prince, ’Crue Dragonsmith’, and he transmitted his voice in a somber tone, "Thirteen, was it you who sent him to cause trouble?"
When Leif Dragonsmith communicated with Crue Dragonsmith, his tone was filled with hostility, intertwined with a touch of anger.
Hearing Leif Dragonsmith’s words, Crue Dragonsmith’s expression immediately became unpleasant.
And at this moment.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
The sound of something tearing through the air came from the center of Glory Palace’s main hall.
This was Wyatt Barnes standing on the central stone platform of Glory Palace, raising his hand, unleashing a vast Immortal Origin Force into the air, which transformed into a colossal sword, sweeping out towards Pole Wind.
"Hmph!"
When Wyatt Barnes ascended the platform, Pole Wind had already noticed Wyatt and saw Wyatt’s gaze locked on him, so he was not surprised to see Wyatt attacking him. Instead, he let out a cold snort.
While snorting coldly, Pole Wind’s Immortal Origin erupted like a torrent, finally converging into his hands, merging into the seven-foot spear he gripped tightly.
Whoosh!!
The seven-foot spear shook, and the surrounding Immortal Origin surged, instantly transforming into a giant serpent, its massive mouth wide open, lunging toward Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Origin-formed colossal sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Whether it was the colossal sword streaking through the sky or the spear transforming into a serpent breaking through the air, both caused the void to tremble, creating ripples.
Like stones dropped onto a calm lake surface, forming ring after ring of water ripples.
"Is that someone beside the Thirteenth Prince?"
"Seems like it... Moreover, judging by his strength, he seems not to be any weaker than Pole Wind."
"His strength is at least at the ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ level... But it’s unknown whether his power can match up with Pole Wind."
"Who exactly is he? I haven’t heard of such a figure in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation before..."
"Indeed, never heard of it before. I wonder where he emerged from."
...
Inside Glory Palace, people from various royal palaces murmured among themselves, all immensely curious about Wyatt Barnes’s identity.
After all, within the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, they had only heard of one Purple Sun Golden Immortal under the age of one hundred, ’Pole Wind’, and had never heard of a second one under this age, making Wyatt Barnes’s identity extremely intriguing to them.
Boom!!
Rumble!!
...
While everyone’s attention was focused on the stone platform in the main hall of Glory Palace, the air trembled with a deafening roar, as if an intense earthquake erupted out of thin air.
It was Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Origin-formed colossal sword, which suddenly surged in power, escalating several levels in an instant.
At this moment, within Glory Palace, anyone could discern the change in Wyatt Barnes’s assault.
"How is this possible?!"
First and foremost, naturally, was Wyatt Barnes’s opponent, Pole Wind.
He had already exerted his full strength, thinking he could at least fight to a draw, but unexpectedly:
The opponent’s power surged several levels in an instant.
"Daai Law Golden Immortal!"
Such a notion sprang up instantly in Pole Wind’s mind.
This thought enveloped his heart like a cloud, difficult to disperse for a long time.
"Daai Law Golden Immortal!"
"My goodness! He is a Daai Law Golden Immortal!"
"But his aura, indeed feels like someone under a hundred years old... He, remarkably, is an under-a-hundred Daai Law Golden Immortal?"
"In our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, there exists an under-a-hundred Daai Law Golden Immortal? This... how deeply he has concealed himself?"
...
Inside the Glory Palace, an uproar arose.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
A series of roars erupted, followed by a ground-shaking ’bang’.
It was Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Origin-formed colossal sword, shattering Pole Wind’s offense effortlessly, the Immortal Artifact spear in his hand smashing away, piercing the pillar on one side of the hall, going directly through it.
Boom!!
Another gigantic sound spread out, with Pole Wind being hurled away by the colossal sword.
