Chapter 2568: Chapter 2568: I, Walter Simmons, Die Without Regrets!

Material attacks and soul attacks are two completely different methods of attack.

A material attack, when it lands on a person or even on an object, leaves traces, and some things can be used to defend against it.

However, a soul attack is different.

A soul attack, when it lands on a person, leaves no trace. Even if it kills someone, it merely shatters their soul, showing no visible mortal wound.

Additionally, a soul attack can completely ignore most obstructions...

Unless the thing is equipped with a formation restriction specifically designed to counter soul attacks.

But such formations usually do not appear in the mortal planes, only in the celestial ones.

Because of this, now Wyatt Barnes casually raised his hand, shooting out a ’fragmented iron piece’ to meet Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack...

In Caleb Whitehead’s view, Wyatt Barnes’ action was purely superfluous!

Because he believed his soul attack could easily penetrate the ’fragmented iron piece’ imbued with a material attack, and while ignoring it, still enter Wyatt Barnes’ body with undiminished force, shattering Wyatt Barnes’ soul!

Now, not only did Caleb Whitehead think this way, but Damian Whitehead beside him thought the same.

In fact, not only both of the Whitehead family’s Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals thought this way, but even the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal ’Wally Sanders’ standing beside Wyatt Barnes thought the same:

"That’s a soul attack... Elder Brother Wyatt’s action is bound to be useless!"

At that moment, even Wally Sanders subconsciously believed:

Wyatt Barnes was doomed!

"Did the Elder Ancestor unleash a soul attack?"

"Humph! This Wyatt Barnes, he’s simply seeking his own death!"

"The Elder Ancestor is a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal. His soul attack is comparable to that of a peak Heavenly Immortal in the celestial planes... Wyatt Barnes, just a mere half-step immortal, simply cannot withstand the Elder Ancestor’s soul attack!"

"He avoids the path to heaven, yet insists on barging into hell... This Wyatt Barnes is simply courting death!"

...

Several of the Davidson Clan’s Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals present, although unable to fully discern the situation before them, could vaguely perceive some of it and showed cold smiles, not thinking Wyatt Barnes could survive.

"This Wyatt Barnes dares to resist Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack... By doing so, not only is he doing something futile, but he’s also losing the chance of perishing together with Caleb Whitehead!"

"I really don’t know what he’s thinking... Could it be he truly believes his material attack can resist Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack?"

Among the group of Loose Cultivators present, there were also two ’Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals’ who vaguely saw the situation.

They couldn’t help shaking their heads, thinking Wyatt Barnes had gone mad, failing to seize the opportunity to perish together with Caleb Whitehead and instead using a material attack to resist Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack.

In their view:

Material attacks and soul attacks are destined never to make contact, as they belong to two completely different natures of attack methods!

However, just when a group of Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals and Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals all thought Wyatt Barnes was doing something futile...

Something unexpected occurred!

Swish! Swish!

In the eyes of a group of Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals and Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals, the ’fragmented iron piece’ thrown by Wyatt Barnes finally intersected with Caleb Whitehead’s ’soul attack’ that resembled twin dragons playing with a pearl.

In their estimation, the fragmented iron piece Wyatt Barnes threw would certainly not even touch Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack.

Because the latter, to a certain extent, existed only in a phantom form, not in a real existence.

However, the moment the fragmented iron piece thrown by Wyatt Barnes intersected with Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes, and expressions of astonishment and disbelief appeared on their faces.

Because, in their direct view, Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack, resembling twin dragons, vanished without a trace upon touching the fragmented iron piece.

It was as if it was devoured by that fragmented iron piece!

Swish!

Before the group could recover, Wyatt Barnes casually beckoned, and the once furious fragmented iron piece immediately curved through the void and returned to Wyatt Barnes’ hand.

"The soul attack of a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal... is nothing extraordinary."

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes played with the fragmented iron piece in his hand, glanced coldly at Caleb Whitehead, and said indifferently.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

Almost at the moment Wyatt Barnes’ words fell, the group of Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals and Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals on the scene finally came to their senses, gasping in astonishment, their eyes once again filled with fear and dread as they looked at Wyatt Barnes.

Particularly the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal of the Whitehead family, known as the strongest in the Abyss by the people of the Abyss, ’Caleb Whitehead’.

The soul attack he had just unleashed without reservation, even causing some damage to his soul, requiring at least ten days to half a month to fully recover his soul to its prime state.

Yet, even such a soul attack was stopped by Wyatt Barnes!

And it was easily stopped.

"The iron piece in his hand... what on earth is it?"

Caleb Whitehead’s gaze quickly fell on the mystical iron piece that Wyatt Barnes was playing with in his hand.

He naturally could tell that the reason Wyatt Barnes was able to block his soul attack was precisely because of this mystical iron piece’s uniqueness.

What Caleb Whitehead could think of, the other Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals and Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals present could also think of. Their gazes also fell one after another on the mystical iron piece that Wyatt Barnes was playing with...

The mystical iron piece, at first glance, seemed very ordinary.

But upon closer inspection, they could see:

Faint mystical light was entwining around the mystical iron piece, and when they subconsciously extended their Divine Sense to touch that mystical light, it felt as though they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to pull themselves out.

There was simply no way to probe the ’nature’ of this mystical iron piece!

"No wonder it could block Caleb Whitehead’s soul attack in a nearly swallowing manner... The mystical iron piece in Elder Brother Wyatt’s hand is not simple at all."

Standing beside Wyatt Barnes was the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal of the Sanders House, Wally Sanders, who sighed inwardly as he looked at the mystical iron piece in Wyatt Barnes’s hand.

"No wonder Elder Brother Wyatt remained so calm throughout... Now it seems that he already had a plan in mind."

Thinking of this, Wally Sanders couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

If only his Elder Brother Wyatt had given him a heads-up, he wouldn’t have had to stand on the sidelines worrying.

"What exactly is that piece of iron in your hand?!"

When Caleb Whitehead looked at Wyatt Barnes again, his eyes were filled with dread and terror.

At the same time, he now realized that the ominous feeling he had earlier was accurate—Wyatt Barnes could remain so calm not because he was bluffing, but because he truly wasn’t afraid of his soul attack.

Now, he could see it clearly.

As long as that thing remained in Wyatt Barnes’s hand, no matter how many times he launched soul attacks, he wouldn’t be able to harm Wyatt Barnes in the slightest!

His heart involuntarily filled with regret.

He regretted allowing greed for Wyatt Barnes’s technique to seize immortal treasures to consume him, otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a passive situation now.

"What is... What is going on?"

"Did Elder Ancestor launch a soul attack? But... why is Wyatt Barnes unharmed?"

"Can someone tell me... what exactly is happening?"

...

The group of people from the Whitehead Family, as well as those not from the Whitehead Family, due to their weaker cultivation, did not witness what just happened and didn’t understand the current situation.

However, they vaguely realized one thing:

Wyatt Barnes had the upper hand!

Because when Caleb Whitehead looked at Wyatt Barnes again, his eyes clearly revealed dread and terror, as though Wyatt Barnes was some terrifying beast...

"It’s not just Caleb Whitehead... Even the other Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal of the Whitehead Family seems to be afraid of Wyatt Barnes now."

Very quickly, someone else noticed this.

Immediately, the entire scene erupted in a commotion with no surprise.

"What... What exactly is happening?"

Just when a group of people felt utterly confused by the situation in front of them.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

The Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal of the Whitehead Family, known as the foremost powerhouse of the Yanhuang Plane, Caleb Whitehead, glanced at the Wyatt Barnes he held, clutching it like a lifeline and threatening Wyatt Barnes:

"Swear an oath under Thunder Punishment immediately that you will never oppose my Whitehead Family in your lifetime..."

"Otherwise, I’ll kill Walter Simmons this instant!"

Caleb Whitehead’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Wyatt Barnes, like a cornered beast desperately trying to break free from its cage.

However, in the face of Caleb Whitehead’s threat, Wyatt Barnes remained composed, as if he wouldn’t turn a hair even if Mount Tai crumbled before him. To those unaware, it might have seemed like he didn’t care about Walter Simmons’s life and death.

"You can kill Walter Simmons."

Under everyone’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes responded unhurriedly to Caleb Whitehead, saying indifferently, "But if Walter Simmons dies, I will annihilate your Whitehead Family, using the lives of your entire clan as his burial!"

"Walter Simmons, do you... blame me?"

Wyatt Barnes asked, shifting his gaze to Walter Simmons, who was clutched in Caleb Whitehead’s hand.

"Cough cough..."

Walter Simmons struggled, coughing twice before catching his breath. He slowly cracked a smile that was difficult to describe, "How could I blame you? I’d be grateful to you. Having the Whitehead Family, a pinnacle power on the Yanhuang Plane, as my burial... I, Walter Simmons, would die without regret!"

"Hearing that, I’m relieved."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Swoosh!

However, almost the instant Walter Simmons finished speaking, Caleb Whitehead’s expression changed drastically once more!
