Chapter 3020: The Final Stop

"Immortal Sovereign Artifact?"

Upon hearing the hushed exclamations of the crowd, Bruno Fortin’s stern face revealed a trace of disdain.

Earlier, what Wyatt Barnes had retrieved from his body wasn’t any Immortal Sovereign Artifact, but rather a divine artifact—and the highest-grade divine artifact:

Top-grade divine artifact!

"It’s just a pity that the memories about the Immortal Sovereign Hall will be erased once we leave... The fact that Wyatt Barnes possesses an Immortal Sovereign Artifact is something we are destined to not carry out."

"I can imagine, if the news of the Immortal Sovereign Artifact’s emergence spreads, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout the Mystic Abyss Mansion, even the entire South Heaven’s Borderlands!"

"Haven’t you thought about... if the memories regarding the Immortal Sovereign Hall could be carried out, would Wyatt Barnes easily take out the Immortal Sovereign Artifact? Regardless of his identity or background, the news of him owning an Immortal Sovereign Artifact could spread, making him the target of many; plenty of strong warriors would risk killing him for the Immortal Sovereign Artifact in his hand!"

"You cannot put it that way... In that situation just now, facing Sullivan Easton’s attack, aside from using the Immortal Sovereign Artifact, it seems he might not have had another way to fend it off, right?"

...

These words were mostly spoken by the remaining six people on Khaleesi Yez’s side.

"Sneer!"

And soon enough, their words were met with mockery and rebuttal from Wyatt Barnes’s side, Jalen Bell and others laughed, "Even without using the Immortal Sovereign Artifact, Wyatt Barnes doesn’t fear that Sullivan Easton!"

"Indeed! Although Sullivan Easton has comprehended two manifestations of the Lightning Secret and his strength is formidable, killing Wyatt Barnes would be nearly impossible."

"Wyatt Barnes, too, has understood two manifestations of the Earth-attribute Law... one manifestation, at least, is primarily defensive among the Earth-attribute Law!"

"Sullivan Easton might be strong, but he may not be able to break through Wyatt Barnes’s defense... Naturally, Wyatt Barnes doesn’t have Sullivan Easton’s speed either. If they were to fight, Wyatt Barnes, even without using the Immortal Sovereign Artifact, could at least match Sullivan Easton!"

"In my view, Wyatt Barnes took out the Immortal Sovereign Artifact entirely to kill Sullivan Easton... if not aiming to kill Sullivan Easton, he could easily be a match against Sullivan Easton without the Immortal Sovereign Artifact!"

...

No one knows Wyatt Barnes’s capabilities better than Jalen Bell and others.

When Jalen Bell’s words reached the ears of Khaleesi Yez and her companions, it sparked another wave of astonishment:

"This Wyatt Barnes, comprehended two manifestations of the Earth-attribute Law?"

"They have no reason to deceive us at a time like this."

"Looking at them, they don’t seem to be bluffing... but this Wyatt Barnes is apparently not even a hundred years old?"

"Not even a hundred years old, and comprehending two manifestations of the Earth-attribute Law... such acuity is simply monstrous!"

"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!"

...

The six people around Khaleesi Yez exclaimed in awe, while when Khaleesi Yez herself glanced back at Wyatt Barnes, a deep sense of apprehension gripped her eyes.

"Not even a hundred years old?"

Jalen Bell laughed, "Earlier, you should have seen the methods of another person from our side, right? What he showcased was the ’Specter Doppelganger Manifestation’ from the Death Law, one of the four Supreme Laws."

"Moreover, he is also not yet a hundred years old!"

With Jalen Bell’s words, Bruno Fortin quickly became the focus of Khaleesi Yez and her companions.

"Specter Doppelganger Manifestation?"

It was at this point that they recalled that before Wyatt Barnes made a move, this person had acted and seized a box; a box from which an Immortal Sword was drawn.

Due to Wyatt Barnes’s subsequent actions, they had temporarily forgotten about this person.

Now upon reflection, wasn’t what he displayed then exactly a doppelganger method?

"Turns out his earlier doppelganger is the Specter Doppelganger Manifestation... has he comprehended the Death Law?"

"The Death Law is one of the four Supreme Laws and cannot be comprehended through Immortal Methods or Divine Ability; it either originates from inheritance or is a product of chance encounters and adventures!"

"Indeed, not yet a hundred years old!"

"To comprehend the Specter Doppelganger Manifestation, one must first comprehend the foundational manifestation of the Death Law, the death element manifestation... meaning he has understood at least two manifestations of the Death Law!"

"How could there be two such fearsome prodigies appearing consecutively within our Mystic Abyss Mansion!"

...

Khaleesi Yez and the others regained their composure and recalled Bruno Fortin’s prior actions; as they looked towards Bruno Fortin again, deep apprehension surfaced within their eyes.

"It’s actually empty."

Just as everyone’s attention had shifted to Bruno Fortin, Wyatt Barnes opened the small box in his hands, only to find it barren.

"Seems your luck isn’t quite as good as mine."

Bruno Fortin chuckled.

Wyatt Barnes ignored Bruno Fortin and continued to move, retrieving box after box... Throughout this process, no one dared to intervene.

Even Khaleesi Yez did not dare attempt to snatch those boxes from Wyatt Barnes.

If Wyatt Barnes, in a fit of fury, swung his sword, she would surely meet the same fate as Sullivan Easton.

Yet among those present, there were some unafraid of Wyatt Barnes.

That would be Bruno Fortin.

While Wyatt Barnes collected boxes from the Soul-destroying Water, Bruno Fortin joined in the acquisition.

Although the others were envious, they knew that envy was all they could afford.

Excluding Khaleesi Yez, the remaining individuals lacked the capacity to seize those boxes.

While Khaleesi Yez had the ability, her apprehension towards the sword Wyatt Barnes had integrated into his body, which she believed to be an Immortal Sovereign Artifact, made her reluctant to make any move.

About a quarter hour later, all the boxes from the Soul-destroying Water were cleared out by Wyatt Barnes and Bruno Fortin.

Of course, most of the chests and boxes were empty.

In the end, Wyatt Barnes obtained five King Grade Immortal Artifacts, three pill medicine bottles, and six Immortal Talismans.

Bruno Fortin obtained six King Grade Immortal Artifacts, two pill medicine bottles, and three Immortal Talismans.

Splash!!

Splashing sounds!!

...

When all the chests and boxes had been collected by Wyatt Barnes and Bruno Fortin, the Soul-destroying Water surged once more, returning from where it came.

In the blink of an eye, the boiling Soul-destroying Water beneath Wyatt Barnes and the others retreated completely, as if it had never appeared.

If it weren’t for the two corpses on the ground, they might have thought everything that happened was just a dream.

"Hmm?"

After the Soul-destroying Water retreated from view, Wyatt suddenly sensed a ripple in the surrounding void.

In the next moment, a mysterious, gentle force swept from all directions, targeting him and the others.

"Is this...?"

"Are we going to be moved somewhere else?"

Although the force sweeping around was vast and majestic, everyone could confirm that it bore no malice, and seemed like it was taking them somewhere.

And indeed, that was the case.

As the force from all directions approached Wyatt Barnes and the others, it gathered together, as if transforming into a flying vessel to carry them to the dark depths ahead.

"Congratulations on passing the second trial of the Immortal Sovereign’s Palace... Next, you will proceed to your final destination within the Immortal Sovereign’s Palace."

Just as Wyatt Barnes and the others were being transported to the dark depths ahead, the voice suspected to be left by the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven echoed once more in everyone’s ears.

"The final destination?"

"Is it ending so soon?"

"What kind of place is this final destination? Are we still going to end up in one place together?"

"Looking at this situation, it seems like that’s indeed the case... In this way, we’re destined to gain nothing."

"Under the eyes of geniuses like Wyatt Barnes and Bruno Fortin, we can hardly expect any benefits."

...

Knowing they were about to proceed to the final destination of the Immortal Sovereign’s Palace, and that it was a collective journey, including Khaleesi Yez, they all smiled bitterly.

Outside the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, in the central area of Cloud Mist Lake.

"Sullivan!"

A piercing cry of sorrow rang out, as a green-robed middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, showing pain and disbelief.

At that moment, on the ranking board, a name that was originally among the top suddenly disappeared.

"It’s the second master of the Easton Family!"

"Sullivan Easton’s name has vanished!"

"Sullivan Easton was the most outstanding child under the second master of the Easton Family, a genius prodigy from the Easton Family in recent years, and he’s dead?"

"It’s said Sullivan Easton had comprehended two lightning attribute law rules, besides the basic element of thunder, he also comprehended the Lightning Secret of the lightning attribute law!"

"The Lightning Secret... That’s one of the most practical secrets among the lightning attribute laws! It mainly boosts speed, and attacks too!"

"With Sullivan Easton’s level of power, even he fell inside? Who has the ability to kill him?"

...

The center area above Cloud Mist Lake was immediately astir upon hearing Sullivan Easton from the Easton Family had been killed.

"This is already the second person who comprehended two law rules to fall... The first was the Hawkins Family’s Declan Hawkins. Now, it’s the Easton Family’s Sullivan Easton!"

"Among the Heavenly Upper Immortals who entered the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm this time, is there possibly someone who has comprehended three secrets of a single law rule?"

"It’s possible! Otherwise, how could Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton have fallen?"

...

The deaths of Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton had made the atmosphere in the center area above Cloud Mist Lake somewhat heavy.

More people’s eyes fell on the ranking board.

Among the top names on the ranking board, the point differences weren’t large.

The first ranked name was ’Ashlyn Harrington.’

The second ranked name was ’Wyatt Barnes.’

The third ranked name was ’Bruno Fortin.’

...

"Though Wyatt Barnes has a few more points, he is still in second place... This Ashlyn Harrington seems to be the most remarkable prodigy from the Harrington Family in nearly ten thousand years, and she’s a daughter too!"

The Autumn Holding Kingdom’s emperor Cyrus Cruz looked at the name ranked second on the ranking board, his eyes gleaming, his face excited.

As long as Wyatt Barnes maintains this ranking, when Wyatt and the others finish this journey to the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, he will receive extremely generous rewards from the three sects and two clans!

"However, Bruno Fortin is only a few points behind, and could catch up..."

Cyrus Cruz clenched his fists, sweat oozing from his palms, worried that Wyatt Barnes might be overtaken.
