Chapter 2561: Chapter 2561: Fragmented Iron Sheet

The black stone and the dark green jade slip suddenly collided, a scene that caught Wyatt Barnes off guard.

However, when the black stone and the dark green jade slip interacted and collided, the expected fireworks did not occur.

They collided without making any noise, completely silent!

"What is this..."

Under Wyatt’s gaze, the black stone and dark green jade slip seemed to soften, entwining each other after collision.

In the end, they merged in a very bizarre way, becoming one!

Wyatt was quite stunned witnessing this scene.

And in the instant of his astonishment.

Whoa!

The fused black stone and dark green jade slip suddenly burst out a powerful light, stronger than the midday sun, forcing Wyatt to instinctively close his eyes.

Before he could reopen his eyes, Wyatt felt a vast and heavy aura crashing towards him, violently knocking him away!

This aura was accompanied by an ancient, timeless aura that seemed to confine all of Wyatt’s strength upon contact.

Now, Wyatt couldn’t even mobilize his inner strength to resist this aura.

"Whoa—"

As he was flung away, Wyatt felt a tremendous force like a heavy hammer smashing into his chest, causing his organs to tremble and he couldn’t help but spurt a mouthful of blood.

After flying a short distance, Wyatt found that he could barely mobilize his inner strength to stabilize himself.

"Who’s there?!"

Stabilizing himself, Wyatt instinctively shouted in anger, thinking someone had ambushed him.

However, upon focusing his gaze, he discovered:

In front of him, apart from the metallic fragment that had appeared out of nowhere, there was nothing else.

"Where are that stone and jade slip?"

Wyatt wanted to find the stone and jade slip but found them missing.

After they fused together, they seemed to have vanished.

Until he vaguely felt a familiar yet strange aura gathering from that metallic fragment in front of him...

Only then did he realize what was happening:

"This metallic fragment is the ’product’ formed by the fusion of the black stone and dark green jade slip, which knocked me flying?"

The aura on the metallic fragment matched the one that had knocked him away, making it not difficult to guess this.

A moment later, Wyatt noticed:

The aura on the surface of this metallic fragment had completely restrained itself.

"What exactly is going on?"

"The jade slip my third uncle gave me... How did it fuse with that stone? And it formed something resembling a metallic fragment?"

As the aura on the metallic fragment completely restrained, surrounded by more profound mystical light, Wyatt flew out, cautiously approaching it.

After finding that it had no intention of attacking him, he carefully reached out and grasped it.

At this moment, Wyatt started to seriously examine the thing in his hand, entwined with mystical light, resembling a metallic fragment.

"This seems... to be a broken piece of iron."

The thing in Wyatt’s hand, similar to an iron piece, had only one smooth side while the other three were jagged and uneven.

It’s easy to see; this piece seems like it was forcibly snapped from something else.

"It’s quite solid."

Weighing the broken iron piece in his hand, Wyatt couldn’t help but murmur: "Also, the text on it... I’m not sure from where it originates. It’s so obscure and hard to decipher... Also, not only these texts, even the patterns are hard to recognize."

As he held the broken iron fragment, Wyatt could clearly sense the ancient aura inadvertently emanating from it.

This aura seemed to tell him that it had existed for a very long time...

"What on earth is this?"

Staring at the broken iron fragment in his hand, Wyatt furrowed his brows, inspecting it back and forth, but couldn’t tell what this fragment was.

"However... It’s certain that this thing is not simple!"

What a joke!

If this were simple, it wouldn’t have been able to knock him flying and injure him with just its aura...

Moreover, most importantly:

This broken iron fragment is a ’product’ formed from the fusion of that mysterious jade slip given by Ernest Summer from Divine Ruin Lands and another object...

The other item, although Wyatt Barnes did not fully understand it, he could tell it was extraordinary.

Nonsense!

If it were ordinary, would Ernest Summer have traveled far and wide to give him the mysterious Jade Slip and bring him here?

"Let’s see... what exactly is this thing..."

In a flash, Wyatt Barnes extended his Divine Sense, intending to merge with the fragmented iron piece in his hand to investigate its ’details’.

However, almost the moment Wyatt’s Divine Sense touched the fragmented iron piece, he was alarmed to discover:

In that instant, the words and patterns on the fragmented iron piece seemed to come alive, extending mysterious and unpredictable forces like a bottomless abyss, swallowing all his Divine Sense regardless of how he injected it!

From start to finish, Wyatt’s Divine Sense continuously extended, merging into the fragmented iron piece, but he couldn’t find any useful information.

In fact, it could be said that he found nothing at all.

Because his Divine Sense, as soon as it approached the fragmented iron piece, was swallowed by the eerie powers extending from the words and patterns on the piece.

"What on earth is this thing?"

Finally, Wyatt had to break off the integration of his Divine Sense, hurriedly retracting it, and looking at the fragmented iron piece with trepidation.

His gaze was as if he were staring at a ferocious beast...

Now, holding the fragmented iron piece gave Wyatt the feeling of holding a hot potato.

"Divine Sense originates from the soul... If it can so easily devour Divine Sense, could it also easily devour soul attacks?"

Thinking of this, Wyatt’s mind trembled, and he directly launched a soul attack towards the fragmented iron piece.

The scenes from before replayed.

Wyatt’s soul attack, the moment it touched the fragmented iron piece, was swallowed by the mysterious powers extending from the words and patterns on the piece, having no effect at all.

"It indeed can swallow soul attacks!"

Instantly, Wyatt’s eyes brightened, and his gaze upon the fragmented piece transformed, not only wary but now filled with delight...

"With this fragmented iron piece... in this mortal dimension, even the soul attacks of a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal do not scare me!"

At this thought, Wyatt felt a surge of excitement.

Though his soul was only at the half-step immortal level,

if the fragmented iron piece could so effortlessly devour his soul attacks, it likely could devour soul attacks of a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal, whose soul had become the Soul Gathering body, without any difficulty...

After all, one of the items that merged into this fragmented iron piece was given to him by the expert ’Ernest Summer’ from the Divine Ruin Lands.

Since Ernest Summer considered the item remarkable, coupled with another seemingly extraordinary item, the resultant fragmented iron piece certainly would find devouring soul attacks of a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal feasible.

For this reason, Wyatt was now gazing at the fragmented iron piece in his hand as if he had found a precious treasure.

"This fragmented iron piece undoubtedly holds more secrets beyond devouring Divine Sense and soul attacks... But with my current abilities, I’m obviously unable to uncover any more secrets it may hold."

Wyatt could sense the extraordinary nature of the fragmented iron piece in his hand.

"Additionally, the appearance of this fragmented iron piece is closely tied to the ninety-nine Saint Veins within my body..."

Wyatt murmured to himself, closing his eyes and recalling the events that unfolded when he simultaneously held the black stone and the emerald green Jade Slip...

At that time, the black stone and emerald green Jade Slip each emitted a force, which merged into his body.

Later, the two forces coursed through his ninety-nine Saint Veins before finally merging...

"I remember, when the forces coursed through ninety-eight of my Saint Veins, there was no sign of merging... only when they reached the ninety-nine Saint Veins did they finally meld."

"It was precisely because of their fusion that the black stone and emerald green Jade Slip merged into this fragmented iron piece!"

Thinking of this, Wyatt opened his eyes and looked at the fragmented iron piece in his hand.

It can be said:

This fragmented iron piece is the product of the fusion of the black stone and the emerald green Jade Slip through the ninety-nine Saint Veins within his body.

And Saint Veins are also referred to as ’Heavenly Veins’ by the people of the heavenly dimensions.

"I suppose now I have solved the mystery of the emerald green Jade Slip and the black stone, right?"

Wyatt mused.

"However, although I have unlocked the secrets of the Jade Slip and the stone... with them comes the mystery surrounding the fragmented iron piece."

"And who knows what this fragmented iron piece originates from... but it is certain: whatever discarded this fragmented iron piece must be extraordinary!"

This point, Wyatt was further assured.

"Anyway... this time, the harvest was quite rewarding."

"With this fragmented iron piece, even if I encounter surprise soul attacks from a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal who has formed the Soul Gathering body, I won’t be defenseless!"

Thinking of this, Wyatt’s eyes gleamed again.

Subsequently, he treated the fragmented iron piece like a prized treasure and stored it within the Storage Ring.
