Chapter 3025: Khaleesi Yez’s Misgivings

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the fiery figure transformed by Zahir Lee rushed towards the purple silhouette on the highest stone platform, only to be split in half from top to bottom before even getting close.

Swoosh!!

During this process, all they heard was a fleeting sound of a sword cry, and in the blink of an eye, a seven-colored sword light flashed before their eyes.

After the fiery figure was split into two, the flames continued to rise, and in an instant, the body wrapped in fire was burned to ashes.

Only a Storage Ring, a long spear, a dark golden armor, and the jade plaques remained, appearing in the void, falling down.

"His points are yours."

Wyatt Barnes communicated to Bruno Fortin, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force swept out, shooting his own jade plaques before Zahir Lee’s jade plaques could explode.

His jade plaques shot out over a hundred meters, surpassing the distance between Zahir Lee’s jade plaques and Bruno Fortin.

Although Bruno and Ashlyn Harrington were on the same level stone platform, the platform where Bruno was standing was clearly closer to Wyatt Barnes.

Bang!

After Zahir Lee’s jade plaques exploded, Wyatt Barnes retrieved his own jade plaques and saw that his points hadn’t increased, nodding contentedly.

Before this, he had already killed two people who had comprehended two types of Law Rule mysteries, gaining a large number of points.

If he got Zahir Lee’s points too, even though not everyone within the Immortal Sovereign Hall would remember he killed Zahir Lee, surely some would deduce from his accumulated points and suspect him.

Additionally, some might suspect him of the deaths of Declan Hawkins and Sullivan Easton.

Though once he leaves South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, he will join one of the three sects and two clans, and even if someone suspects him, they can’t immediately act against him.

But, what happens once he joins a particular force among the three sects and two clans?

Surely, that force can’t have powerful protectors silently guarding him all the time?

Though he still has an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact usable twice, he doesn’t wish to unnecessarily expend it.

Thus, he gave Zahir Lee’s points to Bruno Fortin, allowing their points to be balanced somewhat.

"You’re pushing me into the fire..."

Upon discovering a sudden increase in points within his jade plaques, Bruno Fortin communicated through clenched teeth to Wyatt Barnes.

"Don’t worry, by then perhaps apart from suspecting the two of us, they’ll also suspect others with high points."

Wyatt Barnes transmitted.

Wow!

Once again raising his hand, another wave of invisible force from Wyatt Barnes swept out, collecting the continuing-to-fall Storage Ring, the long spear, and the armor.

"I thought that within this Time Canyon, at most I’d gain the mysteries of time laws... Didn’t expect someone to gift me a King Grade Immortal Artifact and Storage Ring."

Gathering the items, Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said loudly, "Though I don’t lack this bit of King Grade Immortal Artifacts, since someone’s gifting, it would be rude not to accept."

Due to the current desolate silence within the Time Canyon, Wyatt’s casual words were heard clearly by everyone present.

The crowd, initially entranced by recent shocks, snapped back to reality because of Wyatt’s statement, feeling rather speechless.

Not lacking that bit of King Grade Immortal Artifacts?

If you’re not lacking, you could give them to me!

Of course, they only thought this, never daring to say it out loud. Who knew if they might provoke this calamity?

"Sorry, everyone... I’ve killed another. This means our time to stay here has shortened further."

Wyatt Barnes looked down at the crowd below the stone platform and said loudly, "Hereafter, I hope everyone quietly comprehends the time law mysteries left by the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven."

"Hmm, I’m going to comprehend now... Whether there’s anything or not, don’t call me. Once I’m awake, it won’t be easy to enter a meditative state again."

Wyatt Barnes continued speaking, and towards the end, there was a hint of threat in his tone, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.

They had no doubt:

If anyone dared to provoke this calamity, they’d surely end up like Zahir Lee!

"Hopefully no one disturbs me... After all, comprehending the mysteries left by the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven requires time."

As Wyatt pondered in his heart, he again closed his eyes, leaving a trace of Divine Sense to observe his surroundings, while the rest of his energy dispersed around his body.

"This... is the time law?"

Entering meditation, Wyatt Barnes could distinctly feel some mystical forces seemingly pulsating around his body.

For instance, in the void on his right, the air currents would speed up, slow down, and even momentarily stagnate, as if time itself had stopped.

The time law, renowned as the most mysterious and eerie among the four major laws, is also the most profound law in existence.

Such a law can’t be comprehended through Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities, requiring opportunities and fortuitous encounters like now for any chance of understanding it.

"In the past, I had the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, ’Jewel Tower,’ inside which was likely the embodiment of the time law... Because within, the time flow differed entirely from the mundane dimensions."

Reflecting on the time law, Wyatt Barnes thought of Jewel Tower, thought of Elder Fire, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Who knows where Elder Fire is now, or where Jewel Tower might be.

Thus, Wyatt Barnes was immersed in the flowing time law mysteries around his body.

Below the stone platform where he stood, the scene was far from calm, with many still contending for the stone platform’s ownership.

However, despite the ongoing contention, no one dared to have designs on the highest stone platform where Wyatt Barnes was standing.

"What a terrifying attack force... That seven-colored sword gleam—is that his Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon?"

Ashlyn Harrington was utterly stunned after witnessing Wyatt Barnes kill Zahir Lee with a single strike, and it took her quite a while to regain her composure.

Earlier, though she didn’t doubt Khaleesi Yez’s words, hearing and witnessing were two entirely different experiences!

"If I were to face that sword strike... my fate would definitely be no different from Zahir Lee’s."

Thinking about this, Ashlyn Harrington couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for herself.

"He... killed Zahir Lee with a single sword strike? Just... just one sword?"

The four peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals, who initially doubted Wyatt Barnes’s comprehension of two types of laws, immediately realized Wyatt hadn’t been deceiving them after witnessing the strike.

"... Yeah, their abilities were average, and I finished them off with just one move."

Wyatt Barnes’s words echoed in their ears.

"Too terrifying... how can his strength be so formidable?"

"That sword strike just now seemed to contain only the basic element of the Earth-attribute Law, Earth Element... the reason for such power, it appears, was still because of his sword."

"That sword seemed to emit a seven-colored glow... I also saw that when the sword returned to his hand, it fused into his body!"

"Fused into his body? Isn’t that something only an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon can do?"

"He... he has an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon?!"

...

As the four continued their heated discussions, one recalled seeing the seven-colored sword gleam merging into Wyatt Barnes after it killed Zahir Lee, immediately connecting it to the ’Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon’ surpassing King-grade!

"Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon!"

"This purple-clad youth, has an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon?!"

...

Soon, everyone within the time canyon became aware of Wyatt Barnes’s possession of an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon.

Having previously witnessed Wyatt kill Sullivan Easton with a single strike, Khaleesi Yez, Jalen Bell, and others didn’t find this surprising at all:

"That Zahir Lee actually dared to provoke Wyatt Barnes, practically seeking his own doom!"

"Earlier, I wanted to warn him... but then I thought that Zahir Lee’s reputation isn’t particularly good, and I have no sympathy for him, so I dispelled the idea of warning him."

"Me too."

...

The people speaking were generally of ordinary strength, choosing lower stone platforms to stay low-profile, so no one bothered to challenge them.

"Khaleesi sister... this man seems to be under a hundred years too."

On one of the stone platforms of the second layer, Ashlyn Harrington glanced at Khaleesi Yez, who was preparing to leave, and inquired via divine sense: "You’re not planning to challenge him and seize his platform?"

"With your strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to take his platform... if you’re unsure, I can help you out."

Ashlyn Harrington communicated via divine sense.

Upon hearing Ashlyn’s transmission, Khaleesi Yez couldn’t help but smile wryly, also communicating back: "Ashlyn sister, I appreciate your kind offer..."

"However, I am no match for him. Even if we joined forces, it would still be impossible to defeat him."

"Rather than wasting our time on him, I’d be better off quickly grabbing a stone platform to comprehend the time law left by the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven."

Khaleesi Yez’s tone bore a hint of bitterness as she spoke.

Upon hearing Khaleesi’s words, Ashlyn Harrington immediately picked up on some nuance, "He... wouldn’t also possess an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon like Wyatt Barnes, would he?"

Though, Ashlyn Harrington really considered this hypothesis casually, not truly believing a second person with an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon would appear here.

Emperor-grade Immortal Weapons aren’t commonplace!

"He doesn’t have an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon."

Khaleesi Yez explained.

"Then what are you wary of him for?"

Ashlyn Harrington inquired.

"He doesn’t have an Emperor-grade Immortal Weapon, but I heard from those who came along: he possesses a purely defensive King-grade Immortal Weapon... additionally, he’s comprehended the death law, and its two profound meanings."

Khaleesi Yez finished in a breath, her tone carrying a bit of resignation.

Wyatt Barnes, under a hundred years, comprehended two profound meanings of Earth-attribute Law and possessed an Emperor-grade colorful sword.

Bruno Fortin, under a hundred years, comprehended two profound meanings of death law and possessed a King-grade purely defensive Immortal Artifact.

These two, left her with no desire to challenge them.
