Chapter 3027: The Death of Wesly Cloud

Wesly Cloud, a moment ago was aggressive, with a stance ready to annihilate Bruno Fortin.

Now, seeing Bruno Fortin take out a suspected Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact—a three-foot-long Qingfeng sword enveloped in traces of the essence of a Law Rule—the formidable battle intent that soared from Wesly Cloud’s body was instantly extinguished, leaving not a trace.

"I surrender! I surrender!!"

At this moment, Wesly Cloud hurriedly declared his surrender, as if fearing Bruno Fortin would use that sword entwined with grey lightning extracted from within his body against him.

"Surrender?"

Bruno Fortin glanced at Wesly Cloud, who was shrouded by the swirling sand and stones, and said indifferently, "Surrender now... what were you doing earlier?"

And almost the moment Bruno Fortin’s words fell, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, a duplicate of Bruno Fortin appeared out of thin air beside him.

However, this duplicate of Bruno Fortin had a pair of blood-red eyes, emitting an eerie aura.

"Is that... an avatar?!"

Of those present, many recognized that Bruno Fortin had just exhibited a technique to create an avatar.

"Hmph! That’s the Undead avatar mystery from the Death Laws that Bruno Fortin has comprehended... Bruno Fortin is someone who has comprehended two essences of the Death Laws."

Jalen Bell snorted coldly and said, "I just didn’t expect him to also possess an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, and it’s also an immortal sword."

Upon saying this, Jalen Bell’s tone revealed a touch of admiration.

Wyatt Barnes drawing an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword was already astonishing to him.

Now, Bruno Fortin has also drawn an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword.

This made him doubt whether there really was a place in South Heaven’s Ancient Realm where Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts could be obtained?

However, this idea just emerged, only to be forcibly suppressed by him, realizing it was simply unrealistic, utterly impossible.

"Death Laws? Undead avatar mystery?"

"This gray-clad young man named ’Bruno Fortin’ has comprehended the Death Laws? Moreover, he has comprehended two essences of the Death Laws?"

"Given the might of the Death Laws, having comprehended two essences of the Death Laws, even without using an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, he wouldn’t be inferior to Wesly Cloud!"

"Now, he’s wielding an Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact... this battle’s outcome is without suspense!"

"Isn’t that obvious? Didn’t you see Wesly Cloud trembling in fear and already surrendering? Now, he’s just short of kneeling before Bruno Fortin!"

"Wesly Cloud probably never imagined he would run into such an insurmountable obstacle."

...

Hearing Jalen Bell’s words, everyone expressed their amazement, feeling exceedingly sorry for Wesly Cloud, for provoking such a monster as Bruno Fortin.

Whoosh!!

With a swift slicing sound through the air comes an explosion of wind, as Bruno Fortin’s Undead avatar, wielding that suspected Emperor Grade Immortal Sword, rushes out, straight towards Wesly Cloud, enveloped by swirling sand and stones.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

As Bruno Fortin’s Undead avatar approached Wesly Cloud, still at a distance, it waved the sword in hand. Instantly, streaks of grey sword light appeared around Wesly Cloud’s body, sweeping in from all directions like a sword net enveloping him.

Boom!!

A loud explosion spread out, yet it was Wesly Cloud, with the flying sand and stones, attacking the sword net, attempting to flee to safety.

However, the sword net merely vibrated a few times but showed no sign of breaking, leaving Wesly Cloud’s complexion to change drastically.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

One thunderous explosion spread wide, like the deafening sound of drumbeats.

It was instead Wesly Cloud, before Bruno Fortin’s Undead avatar wielded a sword close by, taking out his King Grade Immortal Artifact, exhausting all means, trying to tear apart the sword net to open a way out.

Yet, no matter how hard he tried, the sword net only vibrated a little before returning to its normal state, leaving his face full of despair.

"Spare me! Spare me!!"

"As long as you spare me, I’m willing to give you everything on me!"

"Spare me!!"

At the moment Bruno Fortin’s Undead avatar wielded the three-foot Qingfeng sword, easily slashing through the flying sand and stones, seemingly about to strike Wesly Cloud with one blow, Wesly Cloud’s anxious and humble voice spread throughout the entire Time Canyon.

At this moment, everyone could hear the despair in Wesly Cloud’s anxious, humble words, sparking a sense of shared fate.

If they were in Wesly Cloud’s position, the outcome wouldn’t be any different.

"No—"

With a tragic scream from Wesly Cloud, everything came to a complete end, and Time Canyon returned to calm.

However, at this moment, the way everyone looked at Bruno Fortin had completely changed once again.

Now, in their eyes, Bruno Fortin’s intimidation is already on par with Wyatt Barnes, and perhaps even greater because Bruno has comprehended the Death Law, while Wyatt has mastered the Earth-attribute Law, making them more fearful of Bruno.

"With Bruno Fortin’s strength, combined with the Emperor-grade Immortal Sword in his possession, he can definitely rival Wyatt Barnes... Yet, judging by his posture while seated from the onset, it seems he had always intended to give up the highest stone platform to Wyatt Barnes?"

Quickly, someone raised this question.

"Isn’t it obvious?"

An observant person timely added, "Didn’t you notice this Bruno came here alongside Wyatt Barnes? Perhaps they have known each other for a while and are quite familiar."

"Both are peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals, and neither is over a hundred years old, yet both possess Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts... They likely hail from the same place."

"To issue Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts to peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals... What place can afford such extravagance? Would people from such a place even be interested in the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm? Even the upper realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm might not catch their eyes, right?"

"That, I don’t know... But I have a feeling that this appearance of such prodigies in the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm at the same time can’t merely be coincidental."

...

Among the crowd’s heated discussions, even Jalen Bell and others testing with Wyatt Barnes in the first trial of the Immortal Sovereign Hall couldn’t help but start to suspect:

Could Wyatt Barnes and Bruno Fortin really have some connection?

"I remember... After the first trial of Immortal Sovereign Hall concluded, Bruno Fortin even called Wyatt Barnes over to avoid us, saying quite a bit."

Thinking of this, Jalen Bell couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Recalling that incident made him believe that Wyatt Barnes and Bruno Fortin might not have known each other beforehand, otherwise why would they need to act so furtively?

Couldn’t they just have communicated telepathically?

After pondering for a while, Jalen Bell couldn’t quite make sense of it, eventually deciding to let it go, "Whatever, whether they have a relationship or not doesn’t concern me... Right now, I should focus on visualizing and comprehending the Time Law Mysteries within this Time Canyon."

After a moment, Jalen Bell sat cross-legged atop a stone platform, beginning to comprehend the Time Law.

"With your strength, you can entirely compete with Wyatt Barnes for that stone platform."

Ashlyn Harrington observed Bruno Fortin on another stone platform aligned with hers, and in her eyes, there was still a hint of astonishment.

Despite Ashlyn Harrington learning from Khaleesi Yez beforehand that Bruno was not simple, she only thought his defense was extraordinary.

She hadn’t anticipated that Bruno Fortin not only possessed formidable defense but also such fierce attacks!

His attacks were even more terrifying than his defense.

After all, his defense relied only on Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts, while his attacks depended on Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts!

"What has it to do with you?"

Upon hearing Ashlyn Harrington’s query, Bruno Fortin glanced at her indifferently, then promptly closed his eyes, beginning to visualize and comprehend the Time Law Mysteries within the Time Canyon.

Ashlyn Harrington’s remarks unknowingly struck a nerve.

He is not actually afraid of Wyatt Barnes.

However, because his sister, Sister Laurel, had now acknowledged Wyatt Barnes as her master, with her life and death dictated by him in a single thought, to prevent Wyatt from taking out his anger on his sister, he had no choice but to submit under Wyatt Barnes’s "sinister authority".

"You..."

Seeing both Bruno Fortin and Wyatt Barnes treating her with no courtesy, utterly different from the men usually around her who worshipped her like stars encircling the moon, Ashlyn Harrington’s expression instantly changed.

At this moment, she even started wondering if her charm was diminishing.

Yet, she didn’t know that Bruno Fortin hails from an extraordinary background. Not only had he seen many women far more beautiful than her in the past, but even the present-day Laurel, as Wyatt Barnes’s God Sword Soul, surpassed her in beauty.

Sss! Sss! Sss! Sss! Sss!

...

After several deep breaths, Ashlyn Harrington finally calmed her tumultuous emotions, and without wasting further time, she too began visualizing and comprehending the Time Law Mysteries.

Meanwhile, others also gradually snapped out of the shock Bruno Fortin had brought them, and continued competing for the stone platforms.

After a day and night, the entire Time Canyon fell silent.

Everyone secured their own stone platform.

On the highest stone platform in the Time Canyon, Wyatt Barnes sat there quietly, visualizing and comprehending the Time Law, with a seemingly tranquil exterior, yet his heart was roiling beneath.

"The Time Law, mysterious and enigmatic, can be quick or slow, even halt... And among all this, there lies a profound element which should be the foundational mystery of the Time Law, the ’Time Element’!"

As the first to calm inside, and the one seated on the highest stone platform in the Time Canyon, Wyatt Barnes was the first to encounter the foundational mystery of the Time Law, ’Time Element’.

Generally, encountering the foundational mystery ’Time Element’ of the Time Law also signifies a significant likelihood of comprehending the Time Element, one of the foundational mysteries of the Time Law.

"Time, every moment is fleeting..."

"Time, usually, no one can completely evade it. Of course, one could conceal to some extent using Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts like the Jewel Tower, yet reversing or pausing time remains impossible."

"Time, in a thought, spans a hundred years, thousands of years... a thought, a cycle of reincarnation..."

...

Wyatt Barnes fully immersed himself in the visualization and comprehension of the Time Law Mysteries within the Time Canyon, seemingly blissfully unaware of everything around him.
