Legend of Wyatt

"It’s right here!"

Wyatt Barnes, with Leilany by his side, soared through the sky, finally stopping with his gaze fixed on the glacier below.

This expanse of glaciers was the frozen surface of a vast lake, and with Divine Sense extended, one could clearly perceive that the thickness of the ice layer on the lake’s surface was definitely more than ten meters.

"Brother Leandro... are you saying that the ’Mysterious Yin Nine Rings’ is within this lake?"

Leilany’s gaze followed Wyatt Barnes’ down to the glacier-laden lake.

"It should be correct."

Wyatt nodded.

At this moment, if one looked closely, it was clear that the ’Mysterious Yang Nine Rings’ in Wyatt Barnes’ hand was continuously trembling, quivering downward as if it was eager to plummet.

"Brother Leandro... I sense a powerful presence."

Suddenly, Leilany’s expression became serious, her gaze also focusing on the glacier below. "Under this lake... its cultivation level should be at the ’pinnacle of Daai Law Golden Immortal’!"

Pinnacle of Daai Law Golden Immortal!

Upon hearing Leilany’s words, Wyatt felt a chill in his heart.

If it were outside, in the Desolate Territory, a pinnacle Daai Law Golden Immortal, unless from one of the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory, he wouldn’t have taken it seriously, believing he could handle it.

However, in this small world, he didn’t think he could handle it.

Not to mention his ’Seven Apertures Exquisite Sword’ could only exert the power of a ’Monarch Grade Immortal Artifact,’ even if it could wield the power of a ’King Grade Immortal Artifact,’ he wouldn’t be a match for a pinnacle Daai Law Golden Immortal in this small world.

Previously, after encountering the Stone Men emerging from the desert, he had encountered several ’Earth Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level existences, each on par with the Stone Men in strength.

With those existences, even if he wielded the Seven Apertures Exquisite Sword at full strength, he could only achieve a stalemate!

Later, it was Leilany who stepped in and eradicated them.

Afterward, they encountered a ’Heaven Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal’ existence, also possessing a King Grade Immortal Artifact, against whom he was not a match, finding it difficult to withstand even one strike. In the end, it was Leilany who stepped in and eradicated it.

Now, with Leilany saying there’s a ’pinnacle Daai Law Golden Immortal’ in this lake, he didn’t even dare entertain the thought of making a move.

Because he knew, the opponent’s strength was enough to easily crush him!

"It’s... it’s coming out!"

Suddenly, Leilany’s eyes sharpened.

Wyatt’s pupils contracted, staring intently at the glacier below.

And just at the moment Wyatt concentrated.

Bam!!

A thunderous sound like the shattering of heaven and earth suddenly emanated from beneath the lake.

In the next instant, Wyatt distinctly saw the surface of the lake’s thick ice develop numerous clear and slender cracks, resembling a web of spider lines.

Bam!!

Another explosive sound followed, and this time, those previously slender cracks expanded further, becoming more distinct, resembling serpentine paths.

Bam!!

After the third thunderous sound, the cracks on the solid ice opened into vast chasms, stretching extensively, reaching nearly a thousand meters.

Boom!!

Thunderous roars, akin to the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering, began to resound continuously.

As these roars echoed.

The vast lake’s fractured ice immediately blasted outward, as if turning into countless shooting stones, scattering in all directions.

As if something from the lake’s depths was violently crashing against the ice, trying to break free.

Boom!!

As another even more colossal and earth-shaking sound erupted, a massive hole appeared on the lake’s surface.

The remaining ice shot outward, resembling a myriad of meteors dispersing in the sky.

"Huh?"

And at this moment, a graceful silhouette appeared within Wyatt and Leilany’s line of sight, shocking Wyatt.

In Wyatt’s imagination, the pinnacle Daai Law Golden Immortal beneath this lake should also be a monstrous entity.

Because until now, from the Stone Man encountered in the desert to the Earth Realm Daai Law Golden Immortals and even the Heaven Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal encountered later, they were all colossal beings.

And now, this being at the ’pinnacle Daai Law Golden Immortal’ level was not a monstrous entity.

Instead, it was a person.

A living being, indistinguishable from them!

It was a woman clad in sky-blue robes, her features delicate and beautiful. If not for having Leilany, a flawless beauty of absolute grace beside him, she would have taken Wyatt’s breath away.

Nevertheless, she was a rare beauty to behold.

At least, since arriving at the celestial realms, among the women Wyatt Barnes had encountered besides Leilany, only Milana Harrington could compare to her.

Even Annie Campbell was slightly inferior to her.

"Brother Leandro... the item in her hand is... the Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring?"

Just as Wyatt was examining the woman in front of him, Leilany’s voice timely reached his ears.

Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring?!

With Leilany’s reminder, Wyatt shivered all over, and immediately focused his gaze on the woman’s left hand.

On her left hand, she was holding an Immortal Artifact nearly identical to the Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring in his hand.

The only difference was the color of the Immortal Artifact in her hand.

Unlike the fiery red of the Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring, the Immortal Artifact that looked exactly the same in her hand was a deep blue, exuding a chilling aura, directly opposite to the blazing aura of the Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring.

"Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring!"

At this moment, Wyatt was almost entirely sure:

The Immortal Artifact in the woman’s hand was exactly the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact ’Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring’ he entered this small world to find, the same item the mysterious young man with the surname Patel wanted him to locate.

Additionally, Wyatt also noticed:

After the woman appeared, not only did the Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring in his hand emit streams of fiery red light, but even the Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring in the woman’s hand began to glow with streams of deep blue light.

The two seemed to resonate, as if they sensed each other’s presence.

"How come you possess the ’Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring’? What is your relationship with Dakari Patel?"

As Wyatt’s gaze lingered on the Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring in the woman’s hand, she also finished sizing up Wyatt and Leilany. Her gaze finally rested on Wyatt, a hint of sharpness within.

"Dakari Patel?"

Upon hearing the woman’s inquiry, Wyatt snapped back to reality, momentarily stunned, unable to respond immediately.

"Brother Leandro, could the ’Dakari Patel’ she mentioned be the Brother Patel you talked about?"

Meanwhile, Leilany’s timely voice transmission reached Wyatt’s ears, asking.

Taking a deep breath and regaining a bit of composure, Wyatt looked at the woman holding the Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring and said:

"I don’t know who this ’Dakari Patel’ you’re talking about is... however, this Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact ’Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring’ was entrusted to me by a young man with the surname Patel. I only know his surname is Patel, and I call him ’Brother Patel.’

Wyatt spoke truthfully.

"He... he actually gave you the Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring?"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, the woman trembled slightly, with a tinge of disappointment in her gaze.

Immediately, Wyatt realized her misunderstanding, "Don’t misunderstand... this Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring, Brother Patel only lent it to me temporarily, and I intend to return it to him after leaving this small world."

"The reason he gave me this Mysterious Yang Nine-Petal Ring was to facilitate my entrance into this small world to search for another Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, the ’Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring.’"

"If I’m not mistaken... the one in your hand should be the ’Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring,’ right?"

As he spoke, Wyatt’s gaze once again fell on the nearly identical Immortal Artifact in the woman’s hand.

"That’s correct, it is the Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring."

The woman nodded in admission.

A moment later, her gaze fell on Leilany beside Wyatt, "He was clever enough to find a girl with the bloodline of my Mystical Fox clan to help him retrieve the ’Mysterious Yin Nine-Petal Ring.’"

"You... are you a ’Mystical Fox’?"

Leilany, who had been quietly standing by Wyatt, was filled with surprise and excitement upon hearing the woman’s words.

"Of course."

As the woman’s words fell, her clothes began to move despite the absence of wind.

Soon after, a huge illusory fox figure appeared around her body, appearing phantasmal yet real...

"It’s truly a Mystical Fox! Just like mother..."

Leilany became somewhat entranced as she gazed at the large fox figure enveloping the woman.

"Meeting you here, a girl with the bloodline of my Mystical Fox clan, indicates our bond... Before I finally disappear, I’ll give you a parting gift."

As the woman spoke again, the fox figure enveloping her grew increasingly solid, allowing Wyatt to clearly see the fox’s full outline.

This fox, overall, looked like any ordinary fox, but upon closer inspection, one could discern that:

The fox’s eyes seemed to captivate one’s very soul.

Wyatt glanced at the fox’s eyes, feeling a pang of unease, hurriedly averting his gaze.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

...

Soft white beams extended from the slightly solidified fox figure enveloping the woman, lacking any offensive power as they swept toward Leilany.

And when these white beams touched Leilany’s body, they seemed to hit some form of ’taboo,’ instantly rebounding and vanishing into the void.

"You... are you a ’Celestial Illusion Frost Fox’?!"

The woman’s voice, filled with shock and amazement, came just in time.
