Chapter 2987: Unscathed!

Wyatt Barnes used the Earth-attribute Law’s earth element, and after integrating it into his attack, he directly faced Jalen Bell’s thunder net defense.

Additionally, the umbrella held by the golden Buddha’s shadow also faced the Immortal Sword in Jalen Bell’s hand, which had seemingly transformed into lightning.

"Earth element?"

Although Jalen Bell was also stunned by Wyatt Barnes’ sudden use of the earth element, at this moment, he was like an arrow on the bowstring, ready to be released.

He no longer had time to change his move.

Forcing a change of move now, even if successful, would be far less powerful than it is at present.

So, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

"You’ve comprehended the earth element of the Earth-attribute Law. I’ve also comprehended the lightning element of the lightning attribute law... The Monarch Level Immortal Method and Divine Ability I master are certainly not inferior to you!"

"I want to see how you dare to go head-to-head with me!"

At this thought, a disdainful smirk appeared on Jalen Bell’s face, as if believing Wyatt Barnes would inevitably suffer greatly should he dare to clash head-on.

"Divine Soil, are you sure you can completely block his attack? You should know that if relying solely on me, it’s impossible to block his strike completely, at most resisting part of its power."

Seeing Jalen Bell, who had transformed into a lightning bolt, roaring closer, Wyatt Barnes asked the Divine Soil within him.

"Boy, do you dare doubt me? Just watch carefully!"

The suave voice of the Divine Soil was filled with a sense of shame and anger, evidently infuriated by Wyatt Barnes’ doubt.

Upon hearing these words from the Divine Soil, Wyatt Barnes felt reassured, as the Immortal Origin force imbued with the earth element in his hands fully unfolded!

This was also his first time freely and fully releasing his Immortal Origin force after achieving the peak of Love Rowan as an Upper Immortal.

Moreover, the Immortal Origin force was infused with the fundamental profound meaning of the Earth-attribute Law, the earth element, its power already rivalling the fully released Immortal Origin force of an Immortal Lord.

Boom!!

Rumble Rumble!!

...

The long staff in Wyatt Barnes’ hand erupted like a dragon, as the Immortal Origin force imbued with the earth element surged, and the golden Buddha shadow’s long staff also swelled, akin to an inflatable balloon.

As the staff rose and fell, it seemed to contain a world-shaking momentum.

In an instant, under everyone’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes’ long staff and Jalen Bell’s Immortal Sword passed by each other, seemingly intentionally avoiding Jalen Bell’s Immortal Sword.

The next moment, his long staff, with a thunderous momentum, fiercely slammed into the thunder net that rose from Jalen Bell’s body.

"Hmm?"

"Wyatt Barnes... actually avoided Jalen Bell’s frontal attack?"

"Does he plan to go down with Jalen Bell?"

"Going down together might be overstated... however, mutual injury is inevitable."

"Wyatt Barnes is simply insane!"

"I wonder if Jalen Bell will choose mutual injury or opt for minor injury and retreat... but if he does, he might be lightly injured while Wyatt Barnes remains unhurt, making it easy to defeat him afterwards."

...

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes appeared as a ’desperate young man’, attacking while avoiding Jalen Bell’s assault, aiming at Jalen Bell’s body, allowing Jalen Bell’s attack to rush towards his own body.

This scene shocked all onlookers.

"Brother Barnes..."

Emanuel Yellow was dumbfounded.

His companions from the Autumn Holding Kingdom, led by Cyrus Cruz, were also dumbfounded.

They never expected Wyatt Barnes to be this ruthless!

At this moment, numerous spectators looked towards Wyatt Barnes once again and felt a chill across their scalps.

This purple-clad youth is simply a madman!

Moreover, a madman who is reckless!

"Want mutual injury?"

"Alright! I will grant your wish! I want to see who gets hurt more, you or me!"

Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ desperate tactics, Jalen Bell, both shocked and infuriated, swung his Immortal Sword with all his might, directly charging towards Wyatt Barnes.

Crash!

Under the gaze of all, Wyatt Barnes’ long staff landed on Jalen Bell’s thunder net, producing a loud bang and slightly slowing down its speed, clearly encountering considerable resistance.

Sizzle!

Simultaneously, Jalen Bell’s Immortal Sword, radiating lightning, landed on the umbrella held by the golden Buddha shadow, causing ripples over the earthy yellow halo on the umbrella, like stones creating waves on a calm lake.

About a breath later, the spectators observed once more:

Although Wyatt Barnes’ long staff was partially exhausted by the thunder net, it still shattered the thunder net.

On the other side, no matter how Jalen Bell wielded his Immortal Sword, regardless of the turbulence over the golden Buddha shadow’s umbrella, it had yet to break through the umbrella’s defense.

Bang!

After the thunder net was shattered, Wyatt Barnes’ long staff crashed towards Jalen Bell’s body.

Wow!

At this moment, a phantom of armor suddenly rose on Jalen Bell’s body surface, the golden light on it was extraordinarily concentrated, as if nothing could breach it.

Upon closer look, purple lightning intertwined within the golden light, clearly integrating with Jalen Bell’s Immortal Origin Force fused with the element of lightning.

"Is that... a pure defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact?"

"I’ve long heard that the South Star Kingdom’s royal family has a pure defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact named ’Golden Light Immortal Armor,’ but I didn’t expect it to be in the hands of the South Star Kingdom’s second prince... The emperor of South Star Kingdom is truly generous!"

"With the South Star Kingdom’s second prince Jalen Bell about to enter the lower realm of the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, it’s normal for the emperor of South Star Kingdom to give him this Immortal Artifact for protection."

"A pure defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact, once infused with Immortal Origin Force, its defensive power is far superior to that of the second King Grade Immortal Artifact taken out by Wyatt Barnes, which merged with the fundamental Law Rule’s Immortal Origin Force for offense and defense!"

...

Just as the onlookers were amazed by the phantom armor on Jalen Bell’s body surface, Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrow:

"I had planned to hold back... but I didn’t expect Jalen Bell to be wearing a pure defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact."

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes halted his action of holding back, and a forceful strike from his staff slammed into the golden armor.

This time, the golden armor phantom sustained for a full three breaths.

However, after three breaths, the golden armor phantom was forcibly broken, and Jalen Bell’s upper body’s garment was also shattered, revealing a dimly glowing piece of armor.

This was indeed the South Star Kingdom royal family’s one and only pure defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact, Golden Light Immortal Armor.

Most of Jalen Bell’s power was focused on offense, so the strength he could apply to the pure defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact on himself was limited.

Nonetheless, sustaining for three breaths was already quite impressive.

Even if the force on Wyatt Barnes’ staff was just the residual force left after consuming the first layer of defense, the thunder net.

The residual force on Wyatt Barnes’ staff was mostly consumed by the golden armor this time, and the remaining force fell on Jalen Bell, though he was knocked away, he was only lightly injured.

Bang!!

As the onlookers watched Jalen Bell’s body fly away like an arrow from a bowstring, only then did they hear a timely loud bang, a very solid sound.

"Wow—"

While his body was blasted away, Jalen Bell’s face turned pale as he couldn’t help but spout a large mouthful of blood, sharp and dazzling.

However, the crowd’s attention was only attracted by the injured Jalen Bell for a moment before shifting back to Wyatt Barnes.

It’s just because, now Wyatt Barnes stood there, holding an umbrella in one hand and a staff in the other, his expression unchanged, as calm and unruffled as ever.

Most importantly, he was unharmed!

"How... how is that possible?!"

"He... he’s completely unscathed!"

"What a terrifying defense... Could it be that he mastered another major defensive Profound Truth of the Earth-attribute Law?"

"Impossible... If he used another Profound Truth, it’s impossible for the many Immortal King experts present not to have seen it, right?"

...

Seeing Jalen Bell injured while Wyatt Barnes remains unharmed, the spectators were terrified, staring at Wyatt Barnes in astonishment.

At this moment, even the emperor of Autumn Holding Kingdom, Cyrus Cruz, stared blankly at Wyatt Barnes.

In fact, he had no absolute confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

He had even prepared for a draw or Wyatt Barnes being defeated...

Yet he absolutely didn’t expect:

Wyatt Barnes not only defeated the South Star Kingdom’s second prince Jalen Bell but also, while injuring the opponent, he himself remained unscathed.

Wyatt Barnes completely withstood Jalen Bell’s thunderous assault.

"With Jalen Bell’s previous attack... even the usual Monarch Level Upper Immortal who hadn’t comprehended Law Profound Truths would struggle to handle it so easily, wouldn’t they?"

After a while, Cyrus Cruz came to his senses, looking at Wyatt Barnes again with glowing eyes.

"Perhaps... Wyatt Barnes might have a chance to rank in the top ten this time entering the lower realm of the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm!"

Jalen Bell, Cyrus Cruz believed he could achieve a top 100 rank after entering the lower realm of the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

Now, Wyatt Barnes’ performance gave him more confidence in Wyatt Barnes, even thinking Wyatt Barnes might rank in the top ten!

As for the top three, even the number one, he dared not imagine.

Besides, the Thousand Kingdom area is very expansive, and among the Upper Immortals arriving this time, there are people not only from the Thousand Kingdom area but also from various other eighth-grade forces and some seventh-grade forces.

In the Mystic Abyss Mansion, the seventh-grade forces are led by three sects and two clans, while other seventh-grade forces are comparatively weaker.

Those from other seventh-grade forces, if they wish to enter the Mystic Abyss Mansion, unless they showcase exceptional talent before the power holders of the Mystic Abyss Mansion, otherwise they need to go through the three sects and two clans for a chance to enter the Mystic Abyss Mansion.

Therefore, every time the lower realm of the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm opens, many talented Upper Immortals from seventh-grade forces join, later joining the three sects and two clans.

Among those talented Upper Immortals, occasionally, someone emerges who has comprehended two Profound Truths of the same Law.

"Although Wyatt Barnes is already very strong... he doesn’t seem to have comprehended the second Profound Truth of the Earth-attribute Law."

"His strength, in the face of those talented Upper Immortals from some seventh-grade forces, is still lacking."

Cyrus Cruz thought secretly.
