Legend of Wyatt

In the center of the Sword Tomb cave, a middle-aged man and a young man stood there, their sharp eyes fixed on Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yellow.

Just as Wade Yellow had said, this was a place with opportunities for divine weapons, discovered by the middle-aged man and the young man together.

And they had just fought fiercely to win the ownership of that King Grade Immortal sword.

That was not an ordinary King Grade Immortal Artifact, but one that had been nurtured by an Immortal Sovereign with his own Immortal Origin for some time.

Such a King Grade Immortal Artifact boasted power beyond that of ordinary King Grade Immortal Artifacts.

As it stood now, both men had ordinary King Grade Immortal Artifacts, making them equally matched. However, whoever could obtain that King Grade Immortal sword would be able to break this balance, utilizing the difference between that King Grade Immortal sword and typical King Grade Immortal Artifacts to decisively defeat or kill the opponent!

Originally, the two were entangled in a fierce battle over the King Grade Immortal sword.

However, upon realizing someone else had discovered and approached this location, they mutually stopped fighting in tacit agreement.

After all, neither wanted to be the mantis or the cicada in the ’Cicada stalked by a mantis, unaware of the oriole behind’ metaphor.

"This place was discovered by the two of us; those two are newcomers... If we join forces, kill them, and then continue to contest the ownership of that King Grade Immortal sword, what do you think?"

𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Alright!"

Before Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yellow entered, the middle-aged man and the young man had already reached an agreement to team up to kill Wyatt and Wade before continuing their battle over the King Grade Immortal sword.

"That sword... seems quite good."

Even though he sensed the killing intent of the middle-aged man and the young man, Wyatt Barnes remained calm and composed, his gaze directed at the giant sword behind the sword-shaped stone platform.

"Kid, this sword suits you well."

As Wyatt’s gaze fell on the giant sword behind the sword-shaped stone platform, the tender voice of the Divine Soil resounded within him.

"Generally, those who comprehend Wind System Law prefer light and sharp weapons...but since you now comprehend Earth-attribute Law, it’s best to use heavy weapons like this giant sword or large axes and blades."

The Divine Soil said.

"Hmm?"

Almost the moment after the Divine Soil finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up as he looked at the giant sword on the stone platform.

A King Grade Immortal Artifact suitable for him.

And it was further nurtured by the Immortal Sovereign’s own Immortal Origin.

"This sword, I want it."

With shining eyes, Wyatt announced, completely ignoring the two people glaring fiercely at him and Wade Yellow.

"Whether you can get this sword depends if you have what it takes!"

The middle-aged man among the two sneered coldly, hearing Wyatt’s insolent remark.

"Want to see if I have what it takes?"

Almost as the middle-aged man’s words fell, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fixed on him, a playful smile on his face.

Before stepping into this Sword Tomb cave, he had already heard from the Divine Soil that the two fighting inside had not comprehended any Law Rule insights.

For a Love Rowan Upper Immortal without law insights, however strong, there is always a limit.

Therefore, when he entered this Sword Tomb cave, he felt utterly at ease, as if he were entering his own home, without the slightest bit of strain.

"No..."

Just as the middle-aged man was about to say ’indeed,’ with only one word out of his mouth, Wyatt Barnes, whose body was surging with Immortal Origin infused with the elemental insight of earth, suddenly appeared before him like a specter.

Bam!

The staff rose and fell.

With just one blow, the middle-aged man fell to the ground, dead!

This all happened in a flash, too quickly for the young man beside him to react.

By the time he realized it, the middle-aged man, whose strength was similar to his, was already lying in a pool of blood.

"D-Dead?!"

The young man’s face changed drastically, his entire body trembling in fear as he looked at Wyatt Barnes and spoke with a quivering voice, "Sir, that... that sword, I... I don’t want it... I don’t want it..."

"I only beg for mercy, that you spare my life, allowing me to leave this South Heaven’s Ancient Realm lower realm alive."

But his plea only received another swift strike from Wyatt Barnes.

Bam!

In an instant, the young man followed the middle-aged man’s footsteps, dead, with his and the middle-aged man’s jade plaques shattering, their points turning into Wyatt Barnes’s points.

Unlike the middle-aged man who was unaware of Wyatt’s strength and was caught unprepared,

The young man realized Wyatt’s strength after the middle-aged man’s death; however, due to the disparity in their strength, he was completely unmotivated to resist,

If he had the courage to resist desperately at that moment, he might have lasted a few moves, but without the will to fight, he was doomed to be a victim of Wyatt Barnes’s staff!

After killing the two men, Wyatt Barnes retrieved the giant sword from the sword-shaped stone platform.

As the giant sword left the sword-shaped stone platform and entered his hand, the sword-shaped engravings on the stone platform, which had been channeling sword energy into the giant sword, suddenly dispersed, spreading throughout the cave.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Thousands of sword aura streaked along the stone walls surrounding the cave, their numbers continuing to increase, exuding a fierce and compelling presence.

"Brother Barnes, it’s said that to obtain the opportunities within the place of opportunity, one must pass certain tests... It seems that for the test to obtain this King-grade celestial sword, those two have yet to pass. They’re merely competing for the chance to take the test."

At this moment, Francis Yellow’s voice timely reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, "Also, throughout the history of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm in the lower realm, many Upper Immortals have perished in the land of opportunities... They, due to inadequate strength, attempted to seize opportunity, only to meet their death and the end of their path."

"Test?"

Upon hearing Francis Yellow’s words, Wyatt swept a glance at the colorful sword aura surrounding him, now numbering in tens of thousands.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

When no more sword aura burst from the sword-shaped stone platform, the tens of thousands of sword aura encircling the cave suddenly changed direction and swiftly surged toward a single point.

Their target, it turned out, was towards the direction where Wyatt Barnes stood.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Thousands of sword aura swept past Francis Yellow, the piercing sound of whistling swords made his scalp tingle, leaving him frozen on the spot, his legs feeling as if filled with lead, not daring to move.

At that instant when the tens of thousands of sword aura changed direction and came bellowing forth, Wyatt stood with his sword horizontally, and a crimson vest-like shadow manifested around his body.

This was precisely his pure defense-type King-grade Immortal Artifact, the Red Scale Robe.

It was the King-grade Immortal Artifact given to him by Leonel Cruz, the emperor of the Autumn Holding Kingdom.

With the apparition of the Red Scale Robe, streams of gold light twined with purple energy resembling lightning coiled around it.

Moreover, within the shadow of the Red Scale Robe, a vortex emerged, voraciously devouring the surrounding spiritual energy.

Simultaneously, bands of earthy yellow halo rolled across the surface of the Red Scale Robe shadow, akin to boiling, tumultuous magma.

In that moment, Wyatt unleashed his strongest defense.

Naturally, this was only considered his strongest defense in the absence of intervention from the Divine Soil.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Tens of thousands of sword aura crisscrossed and intertwined into a terrifying sword net, sweeping towards Wyatt Barnes.

Moments later, these sword aura settled upon the apparition of the Red Scale Robe around Wyatt’s body, rippling with waves like water.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

As the sword aura fell, landing upon the Red Scale Robe apparition, they evaporated instantly like droplets of water on a scorching iron plate.

Ultimately, the tens of thousands of sword aura were unable to breach Wyatt Barnes’s defense.

Wyatt Barnes successfully passed the test, obtaining formal control over the giant sword in his grip, "The formation above... has vanished."

When Wyatt first took hold of the giant sword, he had noticed the surface appeared to have a formation set on it, one that limited blood recognition of ownership.

At the time, he understood although the giant sword was in his possession, it wasn’t entirely his.

Now, having passed the test, with the formation gone, the giant sword was thoroughly his.

"Congratulations, Brother Barnes."

Witnessing Wyatt Barnes easily pass the test, Francis Yellow wasn’t surprised but couldn’t help a silent sigh.

If it had been him facing such a test today, his outcome would have been a gamble between life and death, without any certainty of passing smoothly.

Drip!

"Such power... so strong!"

After Wyatt Barnes conducted the blood recognition of the giant sword, integrating Origin Force imbued with Earth Elemental Law into it, he could distinctly feel the terrible strength surging within.

This strength far surpassed the power created by the same Immortal Origin infused into the long staff he previously wielded, reaching another tier of power altogether.

"I had only heard of the extraordinary nature of King-grade celestial weapons nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns before, far exceeding ordinary King-grade swords, but never having used such a weapon, I had no concept."

"But now..."

Originally, Wyatt had no concrete understanding of King-grade celestial weapons nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns, but after obtaining this giant sword, he had a clear concept.

A King-grade celestial weapon nurtured by an Immortal Sovereign is vastly superior in force to a regular King-grade celestial weapon!

It can even be said:

The two aren’t even in the same league.

Of course, while King-grade celestial weapons nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns are powerful, they still fall short compared to Wyatt Barnes’s dual Emperor-grade celestial weapons ’Celestial Yin Nine Darts’, and ’Celestial Yang Nine Darts’.

However, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, they differed by a grade as celestial weapons; even if nurtured post-birth by an Immortal Sovereign using Immortal Origin Force, it’s hard to overcome the innate gap.
