Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2229: Time Cavern

"Awoo!!"

"Awoo—"

...

A group of monsters, all strong, rushed toward Angelo Yellow, as if they wouldn’t rest until they killed her!

At first, Angelo Yellow could handle it.

But later, as if the monsters were endless, it became difficult for her to manage.

In the end, she was even exhausted.

Bang!!

A sudden loud noise erupted as Angelo Yellow, caught off guard, was struck on the back by a monster’s claw, sending her flying heavily into the wall beside the passage.

The wall trembled, and Angelo Yellow spat out a mouthful of clotted blood with a ’Wa’ sound, her cold face turning a shade paler.

The group of monsters continued to charge toward Angelo Yellow, unaware of what pity is; their eyes filled only with slaughter, to kill all the Odd Species in their sight!

Even if Angelo Yellow wasn’t injured, facing this endless assault of monsters brought enormous pressure.

Especially since she was injured!

After killing a few more monsters, Angelo Yellow was attacked again by several others, her wounds compounded, leading to imminent danger.

"Must I die here today?"

Seeing the monsters constantly charging at her, showing no signs of dwindling, Angelo Yellow’s face remained unchanged, but a sense of despair rose within her heart.

"Awoo—"

Suddenly, a vicious beast’s roar sounded from behind Angelo Yellow, and just as she realized it, she felt a chilling gust approaching her from not far behind.

If she were at her peak, she could have turned around and defended against the monster attacking her from behind.

But now, she felt powerless.

"Never thought I’d die here."

Angelo Yellow now didn’t believe she could survive.

Because, severely injured, she truly had no power to fend off the monster attacking from behind.

And just when Angelo Yellow thought she was destined to die.

In the nick of time.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

A series of urgent collision sounds reached Angelo Yellow’s ears, especially loud, catching her attention.

In her view, a shadowy figure, moving at incredible speed, was dashing toward her, knocking aside every monster in its path.

This was a young man with a human form and dragon body, his handsome yet stern face covered in blood, indistinguishable whether it was his own or the monsters’.

"Duck!!"

Suddenly, she saw the young man looking at her, shouting urgently.

For an instant, she saw the urgency in the young man’s eyes and instinctively ducked down, not even worrying about her image.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Almost as she lowered herself, Angelo Yellow felt a gust sweeping overhead, chilling her heart.

If she hadn’t ducked.

That moment, she would have died!

Whoosh!!

In an instant of chills, in her peripheral vision, Angelo Yellow saw the shadowy figure darting above her.

Bang!!

A loud crash resounded as she glanced sideways, seeing the monster attacking her being thrown away by the shadowy figure.

Looking at the blood-drenched figure, even Angelo Yellow didn’t know why, but her heart trembled slightly.

As if some ’string’ deep inside her had been plucked.

Every woman, when she was a little girl, dreamed that her white knight would be a heroic figure who would save her in times of danger, riding a colorful cloud.

Angelo Yellow was no exception.

"Back to back, fight through!"

The urgent voice snapped her back to reality, and with its owner, Wyatt Barnes, she fought back-to-back against the relentless monsters.

At this moment, even Angelo Yellow hadn’t realized:

Her eternally ice-cold face was showing signs of thawing.

Initially, she hadn’t joined Wyatt in time, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so passive.

Now, teaming with Wyatt back-to-back, they were much less strained than before.

Sweeping through, every monster approaching them was slain!

Earlier, not only was she injured, but Wyatt was as well, though not as severely.

Fortunately, although both were injured, it did not overly affect their abilities.

"We made it!"

After battling fiercely, Wyatt Barnes and Angelo Yellow finally carved a bloody path and successfully reached the end of the passage, escaping from it.

Upon leaving the passage, the monsters did not follow them.

Instinctively turning back, they found the passage was now empty, as if the monsters they had encountered were merely an illusion.

"Welcome to the ’Time Cavern’!"

Before Wyatt and Angelo could gather their thoughts, a voice rang simultaneously in their ears.

The voice was ancient and venerable, filled with a sense of antiquity.

"Time Cavern?!"

Instantly, Wyatt and Angelo exchanged glances, seeing amazement in each other’s eyes.

Time Cavern?

What is that?

Just as they were in shock, the voice resounded again, echoing by their ears:

"When I left this ’Time Cavern’, I was a ’quasi-immortal Saint Markings master,’ and also on the verge of ascending as a ’half-step immortal’..."

On hearing this, Wyatt couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Quasi-immortal Saint Markings master?

Not an immortal Saint Markings master?

Momentarily, Wyatt couldn’t help but look at Angelo.

"Because someone discovered a large number of ’Thousand Marks Artifacts’ here, and thought it unlikely for a typical quasi-immortal Saint Markings master to scatter Thousand Marks Artifacts so extravagantly... they speculated this was a relic left by an immortal Saint Markings master."

Seemingly noticing Wyatt’s confusion, Angelo responded timely.

She herself had once entertained similar doubts.

"Thousand Marks Artifacts scattered everywhere?"

Upon hearing Angelo’s words, Wyatt’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently.

A typical quasi-immortal Saint Markings master indeed wouldn’t do such a thing!

At this moment, Wyatt also realized everything was a ’misunderstanding’.

This is not a relic left by an immortal Saint Markings master, but a relic left by a half-step immortal level quasi-immortal Saint Markings master.

The ancient and venerable voice continued:

"In my lifetime, my greatest obsession was becoming an ’immortal Saint Markings master’, engraving weapons more powerful than Thousand Marks Artifacts... I always believed there must be weapons more powerful than Thousand Marks Artifacts!"

"Unfortunately, even as my cultivation reached the ninth transformation of Saint Immortal and I was about to ascend, I never achieved my wish to successfully engrave weapons more powerful than Thousand Marks Artifacts!"

Upon hearing this, Wyatt realized:

The person who left this ’relic’ did not know about Ten Thousand Marks Artifacts, or superlative artifacts.

In the era that person was from, superlative artifacts had not yet appeared.

"So... during that era, the ’immortal Saint Markings master’ capable of engraving superlative artifacts had not yet appeared!"

This was not difficult for Wyatt to surmise.

The era of the person who left this relic seemed to be even more ancient.

"It appears this is indeed not the ’relic’ left by that immortal Saint Markings master."

Angelo said: "I was wondering... according to rumors, the cultivation of that immortal Saint Markings master wasn’t high, so how could he leave behind such powerful formations. Now, everything can be explained."

Even Angelo herself hadn’t realized:

She was speaking more now than before.

Meanwhile, Angelo’s eyes lit up.

Compared to a ’relic’ left by an immortal Saint Markings master with mediocre cultivation, she was undoubtedly more interested in a ’relic’ left by a half-step immortal level expert.

After all, she was not a Saint Markings master herself and wasn’t interested in any legacy left by an immortal Saint Markings master.

The only thing of interest was the possibly existent ’superlative artifacts’!

Yet the legacy left by a half-step immortal level is entirely different.

Even she couldn’t help but be captivated by it.

Soon, the ancient and venerable voice continued:

"However, though I never managed to engrave weapons more powerful than Thousand Marks Artifacts before ascending, I unexpectedly discovered a combination of Saint Markings during the engraving process."

"This combination of Saint Markings requires a specific environment to deploy, resembling a one-time formation but not an ordinary one-time formation... and the ’Time Cavern’ where you now stand is precisely where I deployed that combination of Saint Markings."

"Before my ascension, I arranged a total of three ’Time Caverns’, two of which I myself consumed. The remaining one is where you are now."

"Inside the Time Cavern, time flows extremely slowly... but there isn’t a fixed time ratio. Perhaps a moment spans a year, or a decade, or even several decades!"

"I personally consumed two Time Caverns before, one lasting nine years in a moment, the other thirteen years, respectively assisting me in comprehending two Divine Abilities to their fullest!"

"Not far ahead of you, there is a stone platform... if you sit on it, within a moment, the ’Time Cavern’ will activate."

"I advise you to wholeheartedly concentrate on comprehending a Divine Ability when activating the Time Cavern... because if you are distracted, you might prematurely exhaust the Time Cavern!"

"If so, it would be quite a loss."
