Chapter 2985: Second Prince of South Star Kingdom

Upon hearing the voice, Wyatt Barnes and the others noticed that the leader of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, Cyrus Cruz, halted his steps. They also stopped, following Cyrus’s gaze towards the direction of the voice.

With just one glance, Wyatt Barnes and his companions saw twelve individuals descending from the sky, heading towards them.

The leader was a middle-aged man of medium build, clad in a green robe. His demeanor was naturally imposing, a characteristic of someone who has long held a high position.

Behind him, two elderly men followed like shadows. One carried a sheathed long sword on his back, the other had a sheathed long knife at his waist. Their faces were stern, their eyes sharp, exuding an invisible aura of intimidation.

Behind these three, nine more people followed.

Among them, most were young, with only two middle-aged men and one elderly person among them.

There was only one female.

"Heavenly Emperor Bell?"

Seeing the leader of the group approaching them, Cyrus Cruz raised his brows and approached with Wyatt Barnes and others in tow.

"Brother Barnes, those should be people from the South Star Kingdom. The one leading them, I met once with my father. He is the Heavenly Emperor of South Star Kingdom, Murphy Bell, a ’Two Mysteries Immortal King’ just like our majesty."

Emanuel Yellow’s voice echoed in Wyatt Barnes’s ear at the right moment, "However, the relationship between our majesty and Murphy Bell has always been strained... Today, when they meet, a battle of words is inevitable."

Wyatt understood immediately.

At the same time, as Cyrus Cruz and Murphy Bell approached each other, anyone could clearly sense the strong tension between them.

"Heavenly Emperor Bell."

Cyrus Cruz stopped near Murphy Bell, staring coldly at him.

"Heavenly Emperor Cruz, I heard that half a year ago at the South Heaven’s Ancient Pinnacle, your Autumn Holding Kingdom recruited a genius loose cultivator... He defeated a peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal with just one strike even though he was only at the Heaven Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal level. And that peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal was the most outstanding son of the City Lord of Ducoin City."

Murphy Bell looked at Cyrus Cruz with a faint smile and asked, "I wonder who that genius loose cultivator is?"

As the words fell, Murphy Bell’s gaze moved to Cyrus Cruz’s subordinates, finally focusing on Wyatt Barnes. It was apparent that he had already inquired about the features of Wyatt Barnes, the genius loose cultivator who amazed at the South Heaven’s Ancient Pinnacle.

"I also heard about your second prince, under you Heavenly Emperor Bell, who with peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal strength comprehended the thunder-attribute law, and is the strongest among the South Star Kingdom’s Love Rowan Upper Immortals... What? Heavenly Emperor Bell, do you want your second prince to spar with our Autumn Holding Kingdom’s Wyatt Barnes?"

When the words dropped, Cyrus Cruz’s lips curled into a smirk at the right moment.

If the Autumn Holding Kingdom didn’t have Wyatt Barnes, today, facing Heavenly Emperor Bell, he would really lack confidence...

However, with Wyatt Barnes, today facing Heavenly Emperor Bell, he’s full of confidence!

In his view:

Even if Wyatt Barnes couldn’t defeat the second prince under Heavenly Emperor Bell, having a draw wouldn’t be difficult.

"Indeed, no one understands me better than Heavenly Emperor Cruz... So, how about it? Are you interested in a wager? Using the outcome of the battle between my second son and your Autumn Holding Kingdom’s genius loose cultivator Wyatt Barnes as the bet."

Murphy Bell’s eyes narrowed, a smile appearing on his lips.

Facing Murphy Bell’s forceful approach, Cyrus Cruz furrowed his brows.

The next moment, Wyatt Barnes heard the timely transmission from Cyrus Cruz, "Wyatt Barnes, Murphy Bell and I are arch-rivals. Today, he wants to bet to see me lose face..."

"So, if you’re willing to help me by betting against him, I’ll provide the stakes if we lose... If you win, you get what he wagers, and I’ll give you something as a reward for your effort. If it’s a draw, I’ll give you the reward just the same."

For Murphy Bell, he naturally had full authority to represent his son.

However, for Cyrus Cruz, Wyatt Barnes was just a loose cultivator with whom he had a transactional relationship. To get Wyatt Barnes to act, he needed Wyatt Barnes’s consent first.

"Your majesty is too polite... Accepting this challenge is no problem for me."

Wyatt Barnes replied through a voice transmission, while a fierce fighting spirit arose in his eyes.

According to Cyrus Cruz:

The second prince under the Heavenly Emperor of South Star Kingdom is actually a Law Rule-comprehending peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal!

"Since I comprehended the earth-attribute law’s element of earth profundity, I’ve never had a match... Such an opponent is perfect as my whetstone, allowing me to gain some insight into my current strength."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

With Wyatt Barnes’s consent, Cyrus Cruz’s heart settled, and he looked at Murphy Bell with slightly squinted eyes, "Since Heavenly Emperor Bell wants to bet, I’m more than happy to oblige... I wonder, what does Heavenly Emperor Bell want to wager?"

"Let’s wager a King Grade Immortal Artifact."

Murphy Bell said casually.

For him, the actual wager was secondary; his primary aim was to embarrass his old rival Cyrus Cruz in public.

"Fine."

For Murphy Bell merely proposing to wager a King Grade Immortal Artifact, Cyrus Cruz wasn’t surprised, as he could surmise the intention behind Murphy Bell initiating this bet.

But his thoughts are just the same.

Murphy Bell wants to embarrass him, doesn’t he also want to embarrass Murphy Bell?

"The Second Prince of South Star Kingdom has actually comprehended the Thunder Law?"

"I’ve heard about the Second Prince of the South Star Kingdom. Apparently, he is a prodigious talent in cultivation, now only slightly over two hundred years old and his cultivation has reached the peak Daai Law Golden Immortal level... What’s most shocking is that he has already comprehended the Thunder Law."

"For someone to claim they have comprehended a Law, they must at least grasp one of its profound truths... Which means, this Second Prince of South Star Kingdom has at least grasped the foundational truth of the Thunder Law: the Element of Thunder!"

On the Autumn Holding Kingdom’s side, three young men standing not far from Wyatt Barnes and Emanuel Yellow whispered among themselves.

"A peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal who has grasped the profound truth of the Element of Thunder within the Thunder Law, his strength... could easily defeat..."

One of the young men stopped mid-sentence, yet his gaze on Emanuel Yellow made it clear he intended to mention Emanuel’s name.

"Hmph!"

Emanuel Yellow snorted coldly, glancing casually at the young man, instantly frightening him, causing his face to turn pale and his body to tremble.

Not to mention Emanuel’s status and background, which were completely overwhelming.

Even Emanuel’s strength was beyond his reach.

After a moment, Wyatt Barnes floated in the air, stood beside Cyrus Cruz of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, this action finally drew Emanuel Yellow’s attention back to Wyatt Barnes, and that young man breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had broken out in a cold sweat.

He was clearly aware that if Emanuel Yellow wanted to kill him, no one could stop him.

Even if Emanuel Yellow killed him in front of the Heavenly Emperor Cruz, he wouldn’t face any repercussions.

The other two young men shut their mouths tightly at this time, not daring to speak further, fearing they might incur Emanuel Yellow’s wrath.

"Brother Barnes... confident? The Second Prince of South Star Kingdom is not a simple figure."

Emanuel Yellow transmitted his voice to Wyatt Barnes.

"I haven’t met him yet, how can I be confident? I’ll just do my best."

Wyatt Barnes responded via sound transmission.

"Here he comes!"

Almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes responded to Emanuel Yellow’s transmission, people from the Autumn Holding Kingdom saw:

Among the nine people behind Murphy Bell, a youth with an average build also stepped forward, standing beside Murphy Bell.

This young man had a build very similar to Murphy Bell, and their facial features shared a certain resemblance; if he were not so young, one might mistake him for Murphy Bell’s brother...

"The Second Prince, he has comprehended the Thunder Law... back then, even we eight combined couldn’t withstand his single blow."

Aside from the youth who just stepped forward, the other eight accompanying the South Star Kingdom’s entry into the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm all gazed warmly at his back.

This figure, once standing on their South Star Kingdom’s South Heaven platform, was unmatched, like a God of War.

"The Thunder Law is terrifying... The Second Prince’s strike, infused with the terrifying Element of Thunder, if he hadn’t pulled back, we eight would have been mostly dead or injured!"

"I heard the genius Loose Cultivator from Autumn Holding Kingdom didn’t display any Law forces on the South Heaven platform... he probably hasn’t comprehended any Laws yet."

"Not everyone can comprehend Laws... First, it requires insight. Second, it requires opportunity. After all, king-grade Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities containing Law insights aren’t accessible to everyone."

...

The other eight from South Star Kingdom who took the place to enter South Heaven’s Ancient Realm whispered among themselves, believing that Wyatt Barnes from Autumn Holding Kingdom would undoubtedly be defeated by their Second Prince.

"South Star Kingdom, Jalen Bell."

The Second Prince from South Star Kingdom stood beside Murphy Bell, looking calmly at Wyatt Barnes standing next to Cyrus Cruz of Autumn Holding Kingdom, speaking lightly.

"Autumn Holding Kingdom, Wyatt Barnes."

Wyatt Barnes responded calmly.

At the same time, both the Heavenly Emperor Bell and the Heavenly Emperor Cruz began to retreat, along with everyone else from South Star Kingdom and Autumn Holding Kingdom, giving Wyatt Barnes and Jalen Bell a wide space.

"Oh? Is someone fighting over there?"

"It seems like people from two factions... Oh? Isn’t that the Heavenly Emperor Cruz from Autumn Holding Kingdom?"

"And there’s the Heavenly Emperor Bell from South Star Kingdom!"

"These two have always been arch-enemies... Looking at the situation, their Love Rowan Upper Immortals who they brought are about to fight?"

...

The commotion from people from Autumn Holding Kingdom and South Star Kingdom quickly attracted many onlookers.
