Chapter 3019: Imperial-Grade Immortal Artifact?

The value of Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts specialized in soul defense, although comparable to pure defensive King Grade Immortal Artifacts, is such that those who possess the former typically wouldn’t exchange it for the latter.

In fact, even for pure defensive King Grade Immortal Artifacts nurtured by an Immortal Sovereign, those with Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts for soul defense wouldn’t trade them.

This is because Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts for soul defense are extremely rare, not only are they difficult to craft, but the materials required are exceedingly scarce.

Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts for soul defense can block any soul attack from normal Immortal Lords and below!

Any soul attack below the Immortal Lord level, even if infused with the profound mysteries of Law, it can be blocked.

Of course, it can only block soul attacks from ordinary Immortal Lords who haven’t comprehended the profound mysteries of Law; if the attack is from an Immortal Lord who has understood the Law mysteries, even just a single Origin Immortal Lord level soul attack, it can’t withstand.

The power of Soul-destroying Water is comparable to the soul attacks of ordinary Immortal Lords who haven’t comprehended the Law mysteries, making it barely blockable by Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts for soul defense.

Because of this, the preciousness of Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts for soul defense actually surpasses pure defensive King Grade Immortal Artifacts nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns.

"Kid, do you possess a soul defense Immortal Artifact above Monarch Grade?"

When Sullivan Easton stared greedily at Wyatt Barnes and asked this question, everyone present could see Sullivan’s interest in Wyatt’s soul defense Immortal Artifact.

"What? Do you want it?"

Wyatt looked deeply at Sullivan, asking indifferently.

"Hand over your soul defense Immortal Artifact, and not only will I spare your life, but I’ll ensure you leave this South Heaven’s Ancient Realm smoothly."

Sullivan Easton said.

The young man in purple before him was barely a hundred years old, and he didn’t think such a person could pose a threat to him.

Even in the least case, if this person was like him, having comprehended two Law mysteries, he remained unafraid.

"A soul defense Immortal Artifact is indeed precious, but for you, it’s not as valuable as your own life and possessions."

Sullivan spoke again, his eyes gleaming fiercely, with unmistakable killing intent.

"True."

Wyatt nodded seriously, "Not just a soul defense Immortal Artifact, even the most precious thing is merely an external possession, not as valuable as one’s life."

"Since you know this, quickly hand over your soul defense Immortal Artifact! Once I take action, you won’t have room for regret."

Sullivan Easton laughed coldly.

While Sullivan thought he could easily take action and wipe out the young man in purple to seize his soul defense Immortal Artifact.

Ideally, he wouldn’t want to kill too much within the Immortal Sovereign Hall.

Who knows, maybe after killing this young man in purple, the journey through South Heaven’s Ancient Realm would end.

After all, during this journey through South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, once seventy percent of the entrants perish, the journey would conclude.

Therefore, if he could avoid killing, he didn’t want to kill and expedite the end of the journey through South Heaven’s Ancient Realm; he wished to further search for opportunities and encounters within this Immortal Sovereign Hall.

In Sullivan’s eyes, even if the young man in purple had other items, he wasn’t very interested since he usually lacked those items; he was only interested in the soul defense Immortal Artifact.

"Is that so?"

Wyatt squinted his eyes, smiling faintly, "Then I would like to see how you make me have no room for regret."

As his voice fell, with a thought, a fragmented power in various parts of Wyatt’s body seemingly dormant for a long time began to awaken gradually...

"Since you seek death, I’ll grant it to you!"

Sullivan Easton didn’t expect the young man in purple to be so lacking in tact, his face suddenly turned somber, and his Origin Force with purple electricity surged intensely.

Boom!!

In the next moment, Sullivan Easton produced a knife in his hand, and he transformed into a gigantic lightning bolt swiftly slashing towards Wyatt Barnes.

Sullivan’s body and the Immortal Sword in his hand, at this moment, seemed to achieve Sword-person Unity, imposing with momentum.

Even if he didn’t believe the young man in purple was his opponent, Sullivan attacked with full strength, not daring to be careless.

Just as everyone watched Sullivan Easton attack Wyatt Barnes without warning, raising their hearts in suspense.

In their view, at the place where Wyatt stood, a rainbow-hued sword light rose, with the purple among the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple being especially bright, additionally entwined with golden light and an earthy hue.

Swish!!

A fleeting sword whistling sound erupted, extremely piercing, causing everyone present to involuntarily shiver, even if the rainbow-hued sword light wasn’t directed at them.

"This..."

Simultaneously, everyone was horrified to see that Sullivan Easton, achieving Sword-person Unity and transforming into a gigantic lightning bolt, was pierced through the forehead by the dazzling rainbow-hued sword light when he crossed most of the distance and was about to approach Wyatt Barnes.

The place the rainbow-hued sword light passed through left the void tranquil and undisturbed, like footprints on snow, and upon touching the lightning transformed by Sullivan achieving Sword-person Unity, it effortlessly penetrated, seemingly without encountering any resistance.

Plop!

A trickle of fresh blood shot out from Sullivan Easton’s forehead, subsequently dispersing all the lightning-like power surrounding Sullivan’s body.

Sullivan Easton died with his eyes open, and his unsatisfied corpse was carried by inertia, crashing towards the place where Wyatt Barnes stood.

Wyatt raised his hand, a palm mark flew out, directly sending the corpse flying, while an invisible force swept out, collecting Sullivan Easton’s Immortal Sword, Storage Ring, and the pure defensive King Grade Immortal Artifact on him.

Plop!

Only when Sullivan Easton’s corpse sank into Soul-destroying Water entirely did everyone present snap back to reality.

Now, aside from Bruno Fortin’s expression remaining calm, everyone else, including Khaleesi Yez, the genius disciple of the White Ice Sect, stared at Wyatt Barnes with a shocked look.

"That sword..."

Khaleesi Yez looked at the one-foot-long seven-colored light sword that returned to Wyatt Barnes’ palm, with a flicker of doubt and disbelief in her eyes:

"Just now, the techniques he used, besides the Immortal Method and Divine Ability below King Grade, only contained the basic Profound Truths and Elements of the Earth-attribute Law..."

"He was able to so easily kill Sullivan Easton entirely because of this sword!"

"This sword... could it be an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact?"

"No, that’s not right! Even if it was an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact, with the strength he just showed, with Sullivan Easton’s speed and ability to react, he should have been able to avoid it completely..."

"This is... an Emperor-grade... Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact?!"

Witnessing the seven-colored light sword turn into a streak of seven-colored light and pierce into Wyatt Barnes’ palm, fusing into Wyatt Barnes’ body, Khaleesi Yez’s pupils contracted sharply, and an inexplicable shock appeared on her face.

As far as she knew, not even an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact could fuse into the body in this manner.

Only an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact could!

"This is..."

"This is... this is..."

...

Just as Khaleesi Yez saw the seven-colored light sword fuse into Wyatt Barnes’ body, everyone else present also saw it, and several people who knew what it meant felt their scalps tingling.

My God!

What did they just witness?

The weapon Wyatt Barnes used to kill Sullivan Easton just now fused into his body, as if it were part of his own flesh.

"What’s going on? Did that sword fuse into Wyatt Barnes’ body?"

"What kind of weapon is that? An Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact?"

"I’ve never seen anyone able to fuse a weapon into their body like that... How could it be? Did Wyatt Barnes open up a small world within his body?"

"What nonsense! Wyatt Barnes is just an Upper Immortal of Love Rowan, not an Immortal Lord. It’s impossible for him to open up a small world inside himself."

"So what’s going on?"

...

More people, though amazed that Wyatt Barnes, as an Upper Immortal of Love Rowan, could fuse that seven-colored light sword into his body, still didn’t understand what it meant.

"Although an Immortal Lord can open up a small world, they cannot store their Immortal Artifact inside it... because taking the Immortal Artifact out of the small world is even more troublesome than taking it out of a Storage Ring."

A middle-aged man looked at Wyatt Barnes with a horrified expression and said in a deep voice: "Wyatt Barnes is an Upper Immortal of Love Rowan; he can’t open up a small world to hide an Immortal Artifact."

"As far as I know, there’s only one kind of Immortal Artifact that can fuse into the body like this. That is... an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact!"

As the middle-aged man continued, not only did his voice grow higher, but it also began trembling intensely.

Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact!

And when the middle-aged man’s words reached the ears of those who didn’t know the characteristics of an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact, like Jalen Bell, they were stupefied, feeling their entire bodies shake uncontrollably.

Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact?

To them, Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts were an incredibly distant existence, and even among the three sects and two clans they planned to join upon entering the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, none possessed an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact.

Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts stand above Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts and are exceedingly rare throughout the entire South Heaven’s Borderlands.

And now, it has appeared here, in the hands of Wyatt Barnes.

"Who exactly is this Wyatt Barnes?!"

As someone who had fought against Wyatt Barnes, Jalen Bell recovered, looking again at Wyatt Barnes with a tremor in his heart.

An Upper Immortal of Love Rowan with an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact.

If someone had told him this before, he wouldn’t have believed it, even if threatened with his life!

Even the descendants of the ’Immortal Emperor of South Heaven’ who govern the South Heaven’s Borderlands probably don’t possess an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact at the Upper Immortal of Love Rowan level, right?

"Who exactly is this Wyatt Barnes? How can he have an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact!"

"Are you... are you kidding?"

"Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact... I never thought, in my lifetime, I would actually see an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact!"

...

Meanwhile, others also snapped back, looking at Wyatt Barnes with disbelief.

"His Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact, could it have been found in this South Heaven’s Ancient Realm?"

A young man speculated.

And his words were immediately refuted by others:

"You’re overthinking it! Not only in the lower realm of the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm but even in the central and upper realm, Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts can’t possibly exist!"

"An Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact is a treasure that even for someone like the ’titled Immortal Emperor’ from our South Heaven’s Borderlands, the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven, is something to be longed for but rarely encountered... It’s impossible for one to be inside the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm!"
