Chapter 3023: I Defeated Them All in One Move

“That guy… is he conceding?”

“That really doesn’t fit his personality.”

Seeing Bruno Fortin coldly snort and then be the first to step into the air, heading toward the stone platforms above the canyon, Wyatt Barnes was so surprised he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

“Bree’s worried that if he beats you, you’ll vent your anger on me.”

Khaleesi Yez’s voice echoed in timely fashion within Wyatt Barnes’s sea of consciousness, leaving him speechless for a moment.

“So that’s how this guy sees me?”

Staring at Bruno Fortin’s figure as it quickly receded into the distance, Wyatt Barnes was a bit at a loss for words.

Prompted by Khaleesi Yez’s reminder, he finally came to his senses completely. No wonder this brat fled without fighting—turns out he’s worried that after losing, Wyatt would take it out on Khaleesi Yez!

Originally, everyone in the depths of the canyon was still immersed in the shock of the time law rule. Now, seeing someone take the lead and rush toward the stone platforms above the canyon, they all immediately began to move as well.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Including Jalen Bell and the others not far from Wyatt Barnes, a group of people stepped into the air one after another, sweeping toward the stone platforms above the canyon.

However, these people also knew their own limits; no one chose the highest stone platform.

In fact, for the relatively higher platforms, for the moment no one chose them except Bruno Fortin.

Bruno Fortin chose one of the two platforms just below the highest one—those same two platforms that had been eyed from the start by the black-clothed youth who’d always been glaring at Wyatt Barnes with hatred.

Now, aside from Bruno Fortin, everyone who’d ascended a platform was someone who had only comprehended a single profound meaning of a single law rule.

Although they were self-aware and didn’t dare vie for the six platforms at the very top…

The six highest platforms: the very top one, then two platforms a hundred meters below it, then three more a hundred meters beneath those…

But for the platforms further down, the struggle was still intense and heated.

Even so, although the fighting was fierce, no one went for the kill. If they felt their strength was inferior, they backed off; if they felt their strength superior, they simply waited for the other side to withdraw.

Everything appeared quite harmonious.

Of course, the only reason things were like this was because they were worried that if too many people died, they themselves would be sent out of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

If that happened, they might not even have time to visualize and comprehend the profound meaning of the time law rule left behind by the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven.

As time passed, the lower sections of the stone platforms above the canyon quickly each found their respective owners.

By now, the ones who hadn’t moved were only a scant few, including Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes, Ashlyn Harrington, Khaleesi Yez.

In addition, there was a black-clothed youth, a green-clothed youth, a blue-clothed middle-aged man, a red-clothed middle-aged man, a silver-robed old man, and a gray-robed old man.

Among them, the green-clothed youth stayed close beside the black-clothed youth, while the other four each stood alone.

“We should go too.”

After learning what the final trial in the Immortal Emperor Hall entailed, Ashlyn Harrington no longer wasted effort on Wyatt Barnes. After calling out to Khaleesi Yez, the two of them flew straight up toward the sky above the canyon.

Before the contents of this final stage were revealed, Ashlyn Harrington had wanted to develop a good relationship with Wyatt Barnes, hoping that he would look after her a little.

At the very least, to allow her to collect some treasures under his nose.

But now, knowing what this last stage of the Immortal Emperor Hall was and knowing Wyatt Barnes would never give up that highest stone platform, she gave up on continuing to entangle herself with him.

“Kid, stay away from Ashlyn… otherwise, you might not even know how you died!”

After Ashlyn Harrington and Khaleesi Yez stepped into the air, the black-clothed youth brought the green-clothed youth over in front of Wyatt Barnes, swept him with a cold, sharp gaze, and only then did he take the green-clothed youth with him into the air, heading toward the stone platforms above the canyon.

If he weren’t worried that killing Wyatt Barnes would bring them that much closer to being sent out of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, the black-clothed youth would have already made a move to obliterate him.

Facing the black-clothed youth’s provocation, Wyatt Barnes merely shook his head slightly from start to finish, not saying a word.

“Hahaha… little brother, you’re pretty lucky. Zahir Lee has always been someone who never lets any slight go, and I didn’t expect him to let you off.”

After the black-clothed youth and the green-clothed youth stepped into the air, the red-clothed middle-aged man among the remaining four looked at Wyatt Barnes and laughed heartily.

“Indeed, little brother… with Zahir Lee’s temperament, if he weren’t afraid that killing you would make us get sent out of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm even sooner, he would definitely have made a move on you. You really are lucky.”

The silver-robed old man clearly agreed with the red-clothed middle-aged man’s words.

“From the way you’re talking… it sounds like if he tried to kill me, he’d definitely succeed?”

Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly.

So that black-clothed youth was ‘Zahir Lee’.

Zahir Lee—he’d heard Jalen Bell and the others mention him before; he knew the man was someone who had comprehended two profound meanings of a law rule, apparently two profound meanings of the Metal System law rule.

Moreover, Zahir Lee was a genius disciple of a Grade Eight Sect, the greatest talent that Sect had seen in a thousand years.

Generally speaking, anyone who could enter the Immortal Emperor Hall and make it this far was a genius figure within Mystic Abyss Mansion.

“Little brother, don’t be unconvinced. Since we can say this, it’s naturally because Zahir Lee’s strength is far from ordinary… he’s comprehended two profound meanings of the Metal System law rule.”

The silver-robed old man said with a smile.

“How does his strength compare to Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton?”

Facing the silver-robed old man’s smile, Wyatt Barnes merely shrugged noncommittally, then asked in an even tone.

His words instantly made the blue-robed middle-aged man and the grey-robed old man, who were about to step into the air, halt in mid-motion and turn to look at him in unison.

“Declan Hawkins? Sullivan Easton?”

Hearing Wyatt’s words, the red-robed middle-aged man was taken aback. Then he glanced at the people high up in the sky, his pupils slightly contracting. “I didn’t notice just now… Where are Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton? With their strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to make it here.”

“Among those who entered the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm this time, the only ones I know who have comprehended two Law Rule Profound Meanings are those two… and they’re still nowhere to be seen.”

The blue-robed middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “By rights, there’s no reason… Could it be that the two of them have already fallen?”

“Normally, unless they’ve fallen, as long as they entered the Immortal Sovereign Hall, they should definitely have come here by now.”

The grey-robed old man said.

Immediately after, the three of them exchanged a glance with the silver-robed old man. Thinking of what this purple-clothed young man had just said, shock surfaced simultaneously in their eyes.

“Little brother, you… since you suddenly brought up Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton, do you perhaps know where they are?”

The silver-robed old man sucked in a sharp breath and asked.

“Of course I know.”

Wyatt’s gaze swept calmly over the silver-robed old man as he said lightly, “They’re already dead…”

Although the four of them had vaguely sensed this might be the result, when they heard it confirmed from Wyatt’s own mouth, they still felt a nameless wave of shock.

Declan Hawkins, the genius of the seventh-rank Hawkins Family, who had comprehended two Profound Meanings of the Wind System Law Rule—Wind Element and the Profound Meaning of Swiftness…

With such strength, even compared to them, he was in no way inferior.

At the very least, though the four of them had also comprehended two Profound Meanings of a particular Law Rule, killing Declan Hawkins was simply impossible for them.

Having comprehended the Profound Meaning of Swiftness of the Wind System Law Rule, Declan Hawkins’ speed surpassed theirs.

As for Sullivan Easton…

Sullivan Easton, the genius of the seventh-rank Easton Family, who had comprehended two Profound Meanings of the Lightning Law Rule—Lightning Element and the Lightning Secret…

Sullivan Easton’s strength was only stronger, not weaker than Declan Hawkins, and only stronger, not weaker than theirs as well.

Yet these two people had actually died?

“They… they… they couldn’t have been killed by you, could they?”

The blue-robed middle-aged man stared fixedly at Wyatt, subconsciously swallowing hard, and asked in a trembling voice.

At the same time, the other three likewise turned their gazes on Wyatt.

“Mm.”

Under the four pairs of expectant eyes, Wyatt nodded faintly, then pushed off the void with both feet, his whole body rising into the air.

“They provoked me one after another… Mm, their strength was average. I finished each of them in a single move.”

When Wyatt’s next words entered their ears, the four men’s pupils shrank in unison again, their faces filled with terror and disbelief.

At that moment, they could even hear each other’s heavy breathing.

All because the purple-clothed youth’s parting words were simply too frightening!

If that purple-clothed youth had merely admitted that he killed Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton, although they would be shocked, they wouldn’t have lost their composure to this extent.

But the problem was:

That purple-clothed youth not only admitted he had killed Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton, he also said that Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton were instantly killed by him with a single move!

“He… he’s joking, right?”

“Looking at him… he doesn’t seem to be joking.”

“Instantly kill Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton… Even if he’s comprehended a third Profound Meaning of the same Law Rule, he might not be able to pull that off, right?”

“Even if he has an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact in his hand, he might not be able to do that, right?”

…

As the four of them whispered among themselves, all of them still found it hard to believe Wyatt’s words, each thinking that Wyatt must have exaggerated.

Meanwhile, Wyatt’s figure flickered as he drew near the highest stone platforms above the canyon.

“Ashlyn, you should be going to that stone platform… Why’ve you set your sights on these two stone platforms instead?”

The black-clothed young man, ‘Zahir Lee’, brought the green-clothed young man, ‘Benjamin King’, to the area near the two stone platforms that were second only to the highest stone platform above the canyon. Looking at Ashlyn Harrington, who was standing on the same level and clearly hadn’t set her sights on the highest stone platform, he was full of bewilderment.

“Don’t tell me… you’re planning to help Khaleesi Yez fight for one of these two stone platforms?”

After a moment, Zahir Lee glanced at Khaleesi Yez beside Ashlyn, a look of sudden realization on his face.

At the same time, Benjamin King’s expression beside Zahir changed drastically.

Khaleesi alone might not be a match for Zahir, but if Khaleesi had Ashlyn on her side, then he was doomed to have no fate with either of the two stone platforms before them.
