Chapter 2942: Securing the Slot

"I’ll give you three breaths to prepare."

Faced with Emanuel Yellow’s response, Wyatt Barnes did not reply but instead reminded him, giving him time to prepare.

And almost at the exact moment Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, the initially fading golden Buddha’s shadow on his body intensified again as he infused it with Immortal Origin.

"After this strike, the enhancement of my Immortal Origin and soul from the consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact will be nearly exhausted!"

"However, just this battle with Emanuel Yellow is enough to deter the group of Love Rowan Upper Immortals present from challenging me again."

Wyatt Barnes, by saying he would let Emanuel Yellow make two moves or even defeat him in one move, intended to intimidate the group of Love Rowan Upper Immortals present with his strength before the power given by the consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact was exhausted.

In this situation, even if his strength was depleted to a certain extent and insufficient to battle some outstanding Love Rowan Upper Immortals present, he was not worried about securing a spot to enter South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Emanuel Yellow’s expression grew even more serious, while the King Grade Immortal Artifact spear in his hand quivered, the golden light coiling around it like a dragon, not only winding around the spear but also towards his body.

Moments later, Emanuel Yellow was entirely enveloped by dragon-like golden light, as if wrapped in a layer of pale golden eggshell.

The next moment, around this pale golden eggshell, appeared some tiny crimson lightning, making the shell even more consolidated.

At this point, Emanuel Yellow poured all his strength into it, simultaneously preparing to defend with all his might and neutralize Wyatt Barnes’s offensive by taking an active defense.

By then, the three breaths of time had passed.

Boom!!

A thunderous sound rang as Wyatt Barnes’s legs suddenly bent, the ground shook, causing Immortal Origin to tremble and the arena to develop some tiny cracks.

Simultaneously, Wyatt Barnes flew up, swaggeringly charging towards Emanuel Yellow.

Golden light flooded the sky, purple aura surged, the golden Buddha’s shadow followed closely behind.

Moreover, a twisting vortex continued to spin within the Buddha’s attraction, recklessly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy from the heavens and earth.

Hiss!!

Rustle!!

...

Wyatt Barnes’s hand shook the long staff, which suddenly erupted with radiant purple-golden light, mixing with the staff’s intrinsic mystical glow, dazzling and breathtaking.

At that same moment, the golden Buddha’s shadow ascending Wyatt Barnes’s surface made a motion, where a long staff solidified out of thin air in its hand.

The next moment, Wyatt Barnes’s hand brought the staff up and down.

Boom!!

Thunderous roar!!

...

As Wyatt Barnes’s hand maneuvered the staff up and down, the long staff formed by the golden Buddha’s shadow’s purple-golden light followed suit, causing the entire void to seem to tremble.

"Well done!"

Although Wyatt Barnes’s assault was imposing and seemingly unbeatable, Emanuel Yellow was fearless, his spear shot forward decisively to meet Wyatt Barnes’s attack.

Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

As Emanuel Yellow’s spear trembled, unlike the previous attacks on Wyatt Barnes where he only used attacking Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, he now employed auxiliary Immortal Methods.

These auxiliary Immortal Methods were of Monarch Level, although he hadn’t fully mastered them, they still possessed certain power.

Of course, the ’power’ mentioned here is not actual strength.

It’s well-known that auxiliary Immortal Methods generally can’t amplify power; they’re more about using Immortal Origin skillfully and can only be used as support.

And now, as Emanuel Yellow’s spear shook, a rain of spears appeared before him.

These spear rains shot towards Wyatt Barnes, like arrows transforming into rain, seemingly aiming to obliterate everything, including Wyatt Barnes.

Boom!!

Thunderous roar!!

...

Suddenly, facing Emanuel Yellow’s shifted attack, Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained unchanged, his hand continuing to shake the void extensively with the long staff.

The rising golden Buddha’s shadow on Wyatt Barnes’s body now mirrored his actual movements.

Between the staff rising and falling, containing the vigor swallowing lands and rivers, it seemed as if the staff’s descent could cause the heavens and earth to tremble.

Purple-golden light wrapped around the long staff in Wyatt Barnes’s hand, resembling intertwined dragons of purple and gold.

"Let’s finish this."

At the moment Wyatt Barnes’s long staff met Emanuel Yellow’s assault, he immediately moved with slight concealment to slightly enhance the strength on the staff.

Instantly, Immortal Origin surged again, the power reaching the threshold of a One-Element Immortal Lord.

And this single enhancement elevated Wyatt Barnes’s attack to a whole new level.

Boom!!

As Wyatt Barnes’s long staff officially engaged Emanuel Yellow’s assault, it was like sparks colliding with the earth, causing the void to seem to shatter.

After a seemingly earth-shattering explosion, the glow from Wyatt Barnes’s long staff didn’t diminish, nor did the golden Buddha’s shadow rising from his surface seem to tire.

In contrast, Emanuel Yellow’s rain of spears was instantly obliterated by Wyatt Barnes with a single swing, just like stars being outshone by the brightness of the moon.

Moreover, the defense formed around Emanuel Yellow’s body was as fragile as paper, directly collapsing and shattering under Wyatt Barnes’ attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

A series of terrifying sonic booms erupted, spreading out with surging waves like a breaking flood.

"Pfft—"

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Emanuel Yellow was engulfed by the rolling waves and was immediately sent flying, akin to an arrow leaving the bowstring, out of the light column of the arena.

Whoosh!

As Emanuel Yellow flew out of the light column, a figure seemingly appeared out of thin air in the void.

It was indeed Emanuel Yellow’s father, Ismael Yellow, the City Lord of Ducoin City, who caught him just in time.

After discovering that Emanuel Yellow was unconscious but had only suffered minor injuries, the City Lord of Ducoin City, Ismael Yellow, cast a deep glance at Wyatt Barnes on the arena, "Thank you, Wyatt, for showing mercy."

As a Ten-Direction Immortal Lord level existence, even though he couldn’t see that Wyatt Barnes’ final attack was restrained and had reached the Monarch Level,

he could still discern that Wyatt Barnes withdrew most of his power at the last moment.

Otherwise, his son would have undoubtedly died!

"My son is already a peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal, and the Immortal Method and Divine Ability he mastered are not to be underestimated, yet he ended up like this at this man’s hands... Who exactly is he?"

The City Lord of Ducoin City, Ismael Yellow, was looking at Wyatt Barnes, his heart filled with unending shock.

Wow!!

Meanwhile, the crowd, having come back to their senses, erupted in an uproar, many standing up in astonishment.

"My god... Emanuel Yellow was really defeated by him in one move?"

"The power of that strike... it felt as if it already infinitely approached a full-force strike of a Monarch Level wielding similar Immortal Method and Divine Ability!"

"Too strong... I really didn’t expect that our Autumn Holding Kingdom was hiding such a monster!"

"Even the Fourth Prince, who is recognized as the strongest below the Immortal Lords in our Autumn Holding Kingdom, may not be his match!"

"Under a hundred years old, possessing two King Grade Immortal Artifacts, with such strength... his background is definitely not simple! Even if he’s just a loose cultivator, there must be powerful support behind him!"

...

Wyatt Barnes defeated Emanuel Yellow with one move, shocking everyone present except Ismael Mullins, leaving many Monarch Level Immortal Lords horrified.

These Monarch Level Immortal Lords didn’t master very advanced Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities. They admitted to themselves that even if they went all out, the power would not match that of Wyatt Barnes’ strike!

"I am not his equal."

Beside Leonel Cruz, the Monarch of Autumn Holding Kingdom, the Fourth Prince, Ezequiel Cruz, sighed lightly.

"A monster!"

Leonel Cruz looked at Wyatt Barnes, eyes shining, "This kind of monster, wanting to come out alive from the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, is extremely simple."

"Since he is here to participate in the South Heaven Arena, it means he intends to join the Three Sects and Two Clans... He should be a descendant of some powerful loose cultivator, sent to join the Three Sects and Two Clans for worldly experience."

"Such a monster, emerging from our Autumn Holding Kingdom, entering any sect or clan among the Three Sects and Two Clans... I will receive rich rewards!"

Thinking of this, Leonel Cruz gazed at Wyatt Barnes as if looking at a priceless treasure.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"What?!"

"One move... defeated Junior City Lord Emanuel Yellow?!"

"That Emanuel Yellow, isn’t he recognized as the second only to the Fourth Prince in the Autumn Holding Kingdom among the Love Rowan Upper Immortals?"

A middle-aged man, who had just entered the palace not long before and was originally preparing to go to the South Heaven Arena site, changed his face time and again upon receiving the third Immortal Talisman message from his sister, ’Princess Consort Henson’.

"Brother, I am sorry I can do nothing about this vengeance... Even if I tell His Majesty that he killed Ronin, His Majesty might not seek revenge for Ronin."

"Even His Majesty might be cautious of Wyatt Barnes’ background... Besides, His Majesty now regards him as a treasure, because after he emerges from South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, he is bound to bring various benefits to His Majesty."

"Brother, give up..."

After listening to the content of the Immortal Talisman message from Princess Consort Henson, the middle-aged man, the biological father of the ugly, brocade-robed youth killed by Wyatt Barnes outside the Capital City of Autumn Holding Kingdom, was instantly overwhelmed with rage, his body trembling violently.

"No! No! Impossible!"

"I can’t give up! I can’t give up!!"

"To find the murderer who killed Ronin, I gave up my cultivation... He must die! He must die!!"

The middle-aged man muttered like a madman, his eyes turning bloodshot as the flames of hatred surged intensely.

At the South Heaven Arena site.

Following Wyatt Barnes’ one-move defeat of Emanuel Yellow, the people in the other eight arenas stayed fixated on him for a long time before continuing to compete for victory.

As Wyatt Barnes expected, the next hour passed without anyone challenging him.

He successfully obtained a spot to enter South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

"South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, the Three Sects and Two Clans... it truly fills one with anticipation."

Upon returning to the spectator seats, without paying heed to the burning stares from all around, Wyatt Barnes softly murmured to himself.
