Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2453: Bluster?
Wyatt Barnes had no idea about the situation with Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White.
He was even more unaware that the three of them had been ’hijacked’ on their way to find him!
Moreover, they had been taken to the heavenly planes.
Outer Heaven Secret Realm, somewhere within.
"We’re too late after all!"
Three dusty individuals arrived in a land of high mountains and ridges, watching an old man surrounded by a crowd, holding a broad-bladed saber in his hand.
The saber exuded a vaguely intimidating aura.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
Almost as the old man infused his power into the saber, it began to tremble violently, its sharp blade flashing with a destructive glow, giving a sense of invincibility.
"Haha... What a saber, what a saber!!"
At the same time, the old man laughed heartily, his laughter unrestrained and joyous as he wielded the saber.
"A Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal?"
Hearing the whispers of the onlookers, Wyatt’s eyes immediately narrowed.
From the crowd around him, Wyatt also learned:
This place is a ’Earth-grade Treasury.’
And the saber in the old man’s hand was precisely the immortal treasure within this Earth-grade Treasury.
Before the old man arrived, two Six Tribulations Scattered Immortals fought fiercely over this saber...
But when the old man arrived, he did not wait for the two to exhaust themselves; he directly intervened, wiping them out.
He displayed his prowess as a ’Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal’!
"Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal!"
Realizing the old man’s level, the crowd immediately gave up any hope of acquiring the immortal treasure.
What a joke! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
He’s a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal...
Trying to seize an immortal treasure from a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal is like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth!
"If only he hadn’t obtained the immortal treasure yet... then this saber would have been yours, Brother Leandro."
Beside Wyatt, Karina Hanson sighed as she watched the old man laughing with the saber.
In her opinion:
Even though the old man in front of them was a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal, as long as he hadn’t obtained the immortal treasure, he was not a match for her Brother Leandro.
After all, her Brother Leandro had killed a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal before, his power rivaling that of an ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal.’
But now, the Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal before them had obtained an immortal treasure, meaning his strength could be comparable to that of a typical ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’ without an immortal treasure, equaling her Brother Leandro.
Now, if her Brother Leandro wanted to seize the immortal treasure from him, it would be difficult.
Standing on Wyatt’s other side, Eli Graham, though silent, his regretful gaze revealed:
His thoughts aligned with Karina Hanson’s.
"Who’s boasting?"
"Did this woman say... if that Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal hadn’t obtained the immortal treasure, the man beside her could seize it?"
...
Though Karina Hanson’s voice wasn’t loud, everyone present heard it clearly.
For a moment, eyes turned to Karina Hanson and then to Wyatt...
Because they realized:
The ’Brother Leandro’ the woman mentioned was this purple-robed youth!
"That Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal, after obtaining the immortal treasure, has power so strong it could rival an ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’ without an immortal treasure!"
"So, from this woman’s words... her companion, the purple-robed youth, has power comparable to an Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal?"
"Could it be... he’s an Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal?"
...
More and more eyes focused on Wyatt, each curious whether he was indeed an ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal.’
However, despite their curiosity, none dared use their Divine Sense to probe Wyatt’s cultivation.
After all, probing someone’s cultivation is considered presumptuous behavior.
In their view:
If they presumptuously used their Divine Sense to probe this purple-robed youth, and he was an Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal, they might provoke him, leading to fatal retaliation!
So, even though there was some doubt, no one dared confirm it personally.
"Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal?"
Just then, the old man who had obtained the immortal treasure, a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal, upon hearing the commotion, looked toward Wyatt.
"It’s you!!"
However, almost as soon as his gaze landed on Wyatt, he couldn’t help but shout angrily!
As if Wyatt was his sworn enemy.
As he shouted, immense power emerged from the old man, a portion of which flowed into his saber, causing sharp, unstoppable beams of light to burst forth, as if to shatter everything!
"Hmm?"
The old man’s intense commotion immediately caught the attention of Wyatt and everyone else present.
"What’s... going on?"
"This Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal... knows this purple-clothed youth? And judging by his demeanor, he seems to have a grudge against the purple-clothed youth..."
"This is getting interesting."
...
At this moment, the crowd gathered around also noticed the hostility the old man directed at the purple-clothed youth from his expression and behavior, and it seemed to be more than mere hostility.
It was as if the purple-clothed youth was his mortal enemy.
"Brother Leandro... do you know him?"
Karina Hanson was also stunned, having sensed the towering rage from the old man, which prompted her to ask Wyatt Barnes.
Eli Graham, though silent, couldn’t resist casting his gaze towards Wyatt Barnes.
"I have never met him."
However, Wyatt Barnes shook his head, feeling absolutely certain:
He definitely had not seen this old man before, let alone had any direct animosity with him!
"Could it be... he’s connected to those people I killed earlier?"
Now, Wyatt Barnes could only think along these lines.
After all, since he entered the Outer Heaven Secret Realm, many people have died at his hands...
Some of whom were killed in scenarios likely relayed, through means similar to an ’illusion mirror’, in mirror images to the people behind them.
"That must be the only possibility."
Thinking over and over, Wyatt Barnes still felt this was the only possibility.
Swish!
Simultaneously, Wyatt Barnes was acutely aware:
A powerful Divine Sense swept towards him unrestrainedly, enveloping him instantly, giving him a sense of exposure.
"You were on par with my Ascension Goose Sect disciple, ’Honorable Bo’, both as half-step immortals, and could kill him so easily, showing your strength is quite decent, possibly comparable to ordinary Scattered Immortals... Such a pity you have bad luck, and ran into me!"
Under everyone’s gaze, the elderly man glaring at Wyatt Barnes, eyes blazing with anger, finally spoke.
"Honorable Bo?"
Those present looked bewildered upon hearing the old man’s words, completely confused about what he meant.
"Is he from our Kongxing plane’s Ascension Goose Sect?"
At this point, some people from the Kongxing plane couldn’t help but be taken aback.
"Honorable Bo!"
Standing beside Wyatt Barnes, upon hearing the old man’s words, Eli Graham’s pupils couldn’t help but slightly contract, showing astonishment.
"I see, he’s from Honorable Bo’s Ascension Goose Sect... It’s no reason he has such hostility towards Wyatt Barnes."
"Since he recognized Wyatt Barnes, it indicates he witnessed Wyatt Barnes killing Honorable Bo in the mirror image... Knowing it was Wyatt Barnes who killed Honorable Bo, and the entire process was pure domination!"
At this moment, Eli Graham realized it all, finally understanding why the old man had such hostility towards Wyatt Barnes.
This old man, being from the Ascension Goose Sect, and a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal, signifies his high status in the sect...
Thus, he could never rest easy with ’Honorable Bo’, the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation, being killed, hence he couldn’t possibly let things slide!
Thus, it’s normal for him to hold such hostility towards Wyatt Barnes.
"So, he’s one of the people behind Honorable Bo."
Karina Hanson realized it, recalling when Eli Graham told her during casual chats how he met her Wyatt, and mentioned Honorable Bo.
She even knew about Honorable Bo being killed by her Wyatt.
"I see."
Actually, Wyatt Barnes had similar thoughts earlier, suspecting the old man had connections with previously slain individuals.
Only, he hadn’t anticipated:
This old man turned out to be one of the people behind Honorable Bo.
"Half-step immortal... Just now, this Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal said: this purple-clothed youth is a half-step immortal?"
"Impossible! If the purple-clothed youth is a half-step immortal, how could that lady beside him dare boast so shamelessly, claiming the purple-clothed youth could defeat, even kill a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal?"
"Maybe she’s just boasting?"
"That’s possible."
...
Meanwhile, attention among the crowd shifted back to the old man’s statement.
Earlier, the old man stated that Wyatt Barnes was merely a ’half-step immortal’.
"Boasting?"
"Shameless boast?"
"Underestimating Brother Leandro?"
Hearing the people’s words, Karina Hanson’s face flushed with anger, unable to hold back a loud retort:
"My Brother Leandro has killed Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal before... Recently, in just one face-off, he killed a Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal!"
"Though my Brother Leandro is a half-step immortal, his strength is comparable to ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’!"
Witnessing the crowd belittle her and underestimate her Brother Leandro, Karina couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Half-step immortal... in one move killed Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal? Strength comparable to ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’?"
However, upon hearing Karina’s words, many people felt a sense of familiarity.
"She calls the purple-clothed youth ’Brother Leandro’... Could it be, this purple-clothed youth is Wyatt Barnes himself?!"
Right at this moment, someone exclaimed suddenly.
