Legend of Wyatt

"The Law of Time?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback.

"Yes! It’s the Law of Time!"

Divine Soil responded, "After you slew the third war soul, the formations inside this hall surged with a power of the Law of Time, enveloping the void where your giant sword is located, causing time in that void to halt."

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"If my guess is correct... the power of the Law of Time appeared at this time definitely to prevent you from targeting the remaining seven war souls; it wants the other seven war souls to complete their fusion."

Just as Divine Soil finished speaking, the next scene seemed to corroborate Divine Soil’s words.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

The remaining seven war souls, as quick as lightning, converged together and then fused into one, forming a single war soul.

This war soul was a burly middle-aged man over two meters tall, resembling a tower, shirtless with taut muscles all over, veins bulging as if power had been suppressed within him for a long time, ready to explode.

In the next moment, in the hand of this burly middle-aged man appeared a sword identical to the giant sword in Wyatt Barnes’s hand.

The aura emanating from this sword was indistinguishable from the aura emanating from Wyatt’s sword.

Evidently, it was also a King Grade Immortal Artifact nurtured by an Immortal Sovereign with their Immortal Origin.

"It moved!"

At this moment, Wyatt noticed that his sword, frozen in place, finally moved, but the original target was gone, so his sword cut through empty space.

"Kid, this war soul is no simple matter... its current strength is already not weaker than the peak Upper Immortal who has comprehended some fundamental Law Rule, even perhaps stronger than some peak Upper Immortals who have comprehended a fundamental Law Rule."

Divine Soil said, "When you fight him, at crucial moments, I will help you... but I can only help you prevent him from breaking your defense. To kill him, you must rely on yourself."

"It’s a pity the Profound Divine Gold is still in slumber. If it were awake and fused with the first form of the Profound Divine Gold you previously obtained, it would transform into the third form of Profound Divine Gold... at that time, it would merge into your attacking Immortal Artifact and further enhance your attack!"

Divine Soil’s words also made Wyatt realize that the merged war soul before him was extraordinarily powerful.

"That Law of Time power shouldn’t appear again, right? If it appears once more, freezing me in place, wouldn’t I be directly killed by this war soul?"

Wyatt’s greatest concern was still this.

Earlier, the Law of Time’s power halted time in the space of his weapon, allowing the attacking war soul to escape unharmed.

Now, if the power of the Law of Time freezes the space he’s located in, he would undoubtedly face death!

Thinking of this, Wyatt felt a chill down his spine.

The Law of Time, too uncanny, too terrifying, impossible to guard against!

"This kind of situation won’t occur... If it happened, this Immortal Sovereign Hall would be recklessly endangering lives, how would that benefit the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven who created South Heaven’s Ancient Realm?"

Divine Soil dispelled Wyatt’s doubts, "Earlier, the power of the Law of Time intervened merely to enable the remaining war souls to unite."

"And now, since the remaining war souls have become one, its mission is accomplished."

"If the power of the Law of Time intended to help these war souls kill you, wouldn’t it have frozen the space you are in earlier?"

Listening to Divine Soil, Wyatt also felt it made sense.

"Defeating this war soul, you will have passed the first test after entering this Immortal Sovereign Hall... however, speaking of which, if this is just the first test of the Immortal Sovereign Hall, the trials you will face later are bound to be even more difficult."

Divine Soil spoke again, offering Wyatt a ’precautionary warning’.

"I understand this..."

Wyatt nodded, then gazed directly at the merged war soul of seven, "Now, as long as the power of the Law of Time does not appear again, it’s fine."

Swish!

Just as Wyatt finished speaking, the war soul moved, wielding the giant sword, mimicking Wyatt’s prior attack, aiming to cleave Wyatt in half.

"Hmph!"

Facing the ferocious war soul, Wyatt poured all his strength into his attack, the sword in his hand swept out, vibrating the void, producing thunderous roars.

Clang!

Wyatt directly confronted the war soul, his sword collided fiercely with the war soul’s sword, emitting a piercing crash.

At the same time.

Boom!

Rumble!

...

Now, the clash between the giant sword wielded by Wyatt Barnes and the one held by the Soul of War was still secondary; the most exaggerated part was the collision created by the power brought by the two swords, causing the void to suddenly tremble as a terrifying wave of air swept across the heavens and earth.

The next moment, the whole hall shook because of the impact of the sweeping air wave, as if a catastrophic earthquake had occurred.

"Such strong power, completely on par with mine..."

The shaking coming from his hand made Wyatt Barnes clearly feel the power of the Soul of War, which was completely on par with his full strength.

At this moment, Wyatt realized that continuing this head-on collision would make it difficult to determine the victor; he must choose to win smartly!

Besides, he still had the Trump Card of the Divine Soil.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was engaged in a fierce battle with the Soul of War, in another hall, a gray-clad youth who had just passed a trial walked out of the hall.

After exiting the hall, the youth turned back to see that the hall behind him was clearly visible in front of him.

The wall that had blocked the hall turned out to be completely transparent from this side!

"What’s that..."

A moment later, the youth noticed a group of people gathered not far away, standing outside a hall watching the battle inside.

"This purple-clad youth must have brought people in with him... Otherwise, he wouldn’t have possibly encountered such a terrifying Soul of War!"

"Previously, the genius Hayden Surge from Merciful Cloud Sect fell at the hands of this Soul of War... Surge was an existence that had comprehended the basic profound mystery of the Wood Law, ’Element of Wood,’ yet he ended up dying at the hands of this Soul of War beyond a hundred moves."

"Surge... He seemed to have helped his junior brother gather enough points in the jade plaques to reach ten, and then the two entered the Immortal Sovereign Hall together?"

"His junior brother definitely wouldn’t dare to come out of that small room... But even so, Surge must pay the price for helping his junior brother cheat. The Immortal Sovereign Hall will increase the difficulty of the trial for those who cheat."

"It’s clear... For the same trial, we only need to face ten Souls of War at the usual peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal level, while the purple-clad youth and the now deceased Surge had to face such a terrifying Soul of War!"

"I watched the battle between Surge and this Soul of War; they were evenly matched at first, but beyond a hundred moves, the Soul of War’s strength bizarrely rose to a level comparable to a peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal who has mastered two Law Rules, easily killing Surge!"

"Now, this purple-clad youth is also evenly matched with this Soul of War... Beyond a hundred moves, when the Soul of War’s strength further increases, he will surely die!"

...

About five or six people stood outside the hall, watching the battle inside while discussing fervently.

"So many people?"

The gray-clad youth, having just walked out of the hall, glanced around and saw various halls separated one by one, with a clear space in the middle. Standing there allowed one to see the situation inside any surrounding hall.

He saw that besides the hall surrounded by the five or six people, there were also several halls where people were engaged in combat.

The opponents in those halls were the same as the ones he had previously faced: ten Souls of War whose strength was on par with those who had fully comprehended all sorts of Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities at the peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal tier.

The youth glanced at the people fighting in those halls, noticing that all of them were strong, with two of them even crushing the Souls of War, displaying strength no less than his, as they all had comprehended a Law Rule’s basic profound mystery.

"That hall..."

Retracting his gaze and curious, the youth approached the hall surrounded by the five or six people, his eyes also falling inside the hall.

"It’s him!"

With just a glance, the youth saw the purple-clad youth inside the hall, engaged in a one-on-one duel with a Soul of War, immediately recognizing the opponent.

The talented Loose Cultivator from Autumn Holding Kingdom, Wyatt Barnes!

"His opponent..."

In the next moment, the youth’s attention was drawn to Wyatt Barnes’s opponent; although it was a Soul of War, its strength was far stronger than the ten Souls of War he had faced combined!

"This Soul of War... Even with all my means, it would probably take at least thirty moves to defeat!"

"And from what these people say... The Soul of War’s strength can still rise to another level beyond a hundred moves!"

The youth’s expression became somewhat serious.

"Twenty-two moves... This purple-clad youth’s strength is impressive, but if he cannot kill the Soul of War within a hundred moves, he will surely die beyond a hundred moves!"

"Even if I were facing this Soul of War, I could only wait for death... Its strength is too strong! Of course, the most important factor is because, within South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, one cannot rely on external influences like Immortal Talismans or Pill Medicine painted by strong individuals."

"Indeed. Immortal Talismans cannot be used here if they contain Immortal Origin Force above the Immortal Lord level... As for Pill Medicine, if a peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal consumes Pill Medicine to enhance Immortal Origin Force, it inevitably elevates to the Immortal Lord level, leading to instant death by the formations within South Heaven’s Ancient Realm below!"

"To kill the Soul of War, one must have comprehended two Law Rules... Otherwise, it’s very difficult. After all, the weapon the Soul of War wields is clearly the King Grade Immortal Artifact nurtured by Immortal Sovereign level powerhouses!"

...

The group observing Wyatt Barnes’s clash with the Soul of War, including the gray-clad youth, spoke in a manner that seemed to sentence Wyatt Barnes to death.
