Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2212: Wyatt Barnes’s Suspicions
Almost at the same time Wyatt Barnes and his three companions were swept into the ’void rift’, the power emanating from the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, Lofty Don, descended thunderously in a sweeping torrent onto the circular protective barrier formed by thousands of blood-red sword lights.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
With each loud explosion, small mushroom clouds appeared on one side of the circular barrier, and horrifying shockwaves ravaged every direction.
In an instant, a vast courtyard was reduced to ruins!
Not only that, after turning the courtyard into ruins, the shockwaves continued to sweep outward in all directions.
Moments later, Lofty Don’s place of cultivation, a large estate, was half turned into rubble, with dust and smoke everywhere, as if doomsday had arrived!
Yet, throughout this, Lofty Don seemed completely oblivious.
Of course, it wasn’t that he was truly unaware; rather, his attention was entirely captivated by something else.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Lofty Don was startled to discover:
When his power surged forth and struck the circular barrier ahead, despite the external void quaking and twisting, the barrier remained unscathed, as if it had suffered no damage at all.
Although he hadn’t used his full strength, he had still exerted seventy to eighty percent of it.
Even defenses deployed by another Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal wouldn’t withstand his power without any damage!
The circular barrier formed by thousands of blood-red sword lights hovered in the void, steadfast and motionless.
The ’void rift’ that had appeared out of nowhere and absorbed Wyatt Barnes and his three companions was also gradually vanishing, as if it had never existed.
Lofty Don could only watch helplessly.
"Sir... who exactly are you?"
However, Lofty Don didn’t have the time to worry about where Wyatt Barnes and his three companions had gone. Instead, he looked at the circular barrier composed of countless blood-red sword lights ahead and slowly inquired, his tone filled with gravity.
The circular barrier in front of him hovered there, as if dividing two worlds.
Earlier, he hadn’t had the opportunity to observe it closely.
Now, upon closer inspection, Lofty Don could clearly sense the sharp aura emanating from the barrier, a sharpness that seemed capable of destroying everything!
Moreover, after the ’probe’ he conducted earlier, Lofty Don realized its indestructibility!
A strong person capable of forming such a barrier through their own power had, to some extent, already transcended this mundane dimension...
Lofty Don was well aware of this fact.
After all, decades ago, he had encountered such powerful beings.
They were as formidable as ’Divine Beings’!
Recalling the power displayed by those beings with a mere wave of their hand still sent shivers down Lofty Don’s spine, as a chill surged from his feet to his head.
However, almost as soon as Lofty Don spoke those words.
Whoosh!
The circular barrier formed by countless blood-red sword lights in front of him disappeared without a trace with a soft gust of wind.
As if it had never existed.
For a moment, only Lofty Don stood there alone in the void.
Underneath him, there were also vast ruins.
"Hiss—"
After a while, Lofty Don came to his senses and couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
The barrier formed by such powerful blood-red sword lights vanished in an instant without a trace.
He understood all too well what this meant.
This also meant:
The barrier was a casual, effortless technique by some powerful individual!
"A simple, effortless technique reaching such a level of power... Such a person would, even among the ’Heavenly Realms’, likely not be just another figure!"
With this thought, Lofty Don’s breathing quickened, and he vigilantly looked around.
However, after looking around for a while, he found nothing.
Martial Dao Sacred Land, Lower Domain.
Outside a certain dilapidated village.
Rip!!
A sound of something being torn resounded, and a hideous tear appeared in the void, expanding continuously until it reached about ten meters in length before stopping.
After it stopped expanding, it began to rapidly contract.
It was as if a spring was being forcefully pulled open and then rapidly released back to its original shape.
During the contraction of the tear, three figures emerged from within: a young man in purple, and two identical women with entirely different temperaments.
One of the women was holding a little girl sound asleep in her arms.
"Elder Fire!!"
And just as the four of them emerged, the face of the young man in purple drastically changed, followed by a cry of anguish.
This cry of sorrow also startled the two women, bringing them out of their stupor. They immediately looked towards the young man in purple.
"Young Master, what’s wrong?"
The woman with a gentle and jade-like temperament looked at the young man in purple with eyes full of worry, her face showing concern. Her tone was full of urgency as she spoke.
However, the young man in purple seemed not to hear her at all, standing there alone, his face showing an expression of pain while his body kept trembling, as if he had encountered something extremely agonizing.
"Wyatt Barnes?"
The woman with a cool demeanor who was holding a little girl also timely looked at the young man in purple, frowning deeply.
The young man in purple was exactly ’Wyatt Barnes’.
A moment ago, he and the two women beside him, along with a little girl, were still in the ’Fire Worship Sect’ in the West Region of the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
At this moment, they had traversed space and arrived in the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!
And during this process, Wyatt yet discovered:
Not only had he lost contact with Elder Fire.
Even the bond between him and the Jewel Tower had vanished.
The Jewel Tower had long acknowledged him as its master, with a bloodline connection between them... But now, that bloodline connection had completely disappeared without a trace!
After realizing all this, Wyatt immediately speculated:
It must be that Elder Fire used some ’forbidden technique’, self-destructing the Jewel Tower, only then could he safeguard them and forcibly tear open the ’space barrier’ between the Upper and Lower Domains, sending them back to the Lower Domain!
If the Jewel Tower weren’t destroyed, how else would it lose its bond with him as its master?
"If the Jewel Tower is destroyed... then certainly, Elder Fire cannot have survived!"
At this thought, Wyatt’s heart couldn’t help but tremble violently.
Since he obtained the Jewel Tower and got to know Elder Fire, scenes of Elder Fire helping him flashed before his eyes.
And now, Elder Fire sacrificed himself to ensure his safety!
"Elder Fire!!"
With another cry of sorrow, Wyatt’s body felt light, and he knelt down, paying respects to Elder Fire’s spirit in the heavens!
Although Keer didn’t know what had happened, nor who the ’Elder Fire’ Wyatt spoke of was,
she could clearly feel her man’s ’pain’, so she also immediately knelt down beside her man, silently staying by his side.
Paisley Flores stood by, full of confusion.
Confused not only by Wyatt’s action of kneeling but also by why they had suddenly appeared in this place.
"This place... seems to be the ’Lower Domain’?"
The Spiritual Energy of this place’s world was far inferior to that of the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, but it gave Paisley a familiar feeling, as though she had once been to the ’Lower Domain’.
"Keer..."
After kneeling for a while, Wyatt finally spoke hoarsely, "We have now returned to the ’Lower Domain’... And the reason why we could travel from the Fire Worship Sect’s base in the Upper Domain back to the ’Lower Domain’ is precisely because Elder Fire sacrificed himself!"
"It was by sacrificing himself that he forcibly tore space apart to send us back to the ’Lower Domain’, allowing us to escape from right under the Sect Leader’s nose!"
As he spoke, Wyatt’s tone, besides the sadness, also carried a sense of melancholy. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Keer understood everything.
She understood why her man was now in such pain, understood why he was kneeling toward the void...
It turned out that all of this was because of that Elder Fire who saved them and sent them back to the ’Lower Domain’, sacrificing himself in the process!
"Elder Fire, thank you for saving the Young Master and us, thank you."
Following, Keer also kowtowed three times towards the void, her tone carrying a hint of sorrow.
Although Keer had never interacted with Elder Fire before, nor knew of his existence, the actions of Elder Fire still moved the kind Keer to tears.
"Elder Fire?"
After learning the ’ins and outs’ of the matter, Paisley Flores also knelt down, solemnly kowtowing three times toward the void.
At this moment, some ’doubts’ in her heart were also resolved.
No wonder Wyatt believed that it was the Jewel Tower’s Tower Spirit ’Elder Fire’ who sacrificed his life, and the Jewel Tower, to save them from under the Fire Worship Sect Leader’s nose, and sent them back to the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land...
It was really because of everything Wyatt had experienced that made him think this way, made him believe this!
Besides this, he could think of no other ’possibility’.
Most importantly, he discovered that the bond of the Jewel Tower acknowledging him as its master was no longer there.
Unless the Jewel Tower was destroyed, how else would it lose its master bond with him?
But, is that really the truth of the matter?
...
Somewhere outside the base of the Fire Worship Sect, West Region, Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
A young man dressed in a blood-stained robe stood in midair, holding a seven-tiered delicate little tower in his hand.
If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would certainly recognize it at a glance:
This seven-tiered delicate little tower was exactly the ’Jewel Tower’ that had lost its master bond with him!
