Legend of Wyatt

Wyatt Barnes’s left arm hung at his side, wrapped in Leilany’s embrace.

But his right hand, at some unknown point, had come to rest behind his back—and in that hand, a hairpin had appeared out of thin air...

Around the hairpin, mysterious light flickered; it was clearly no mundane thing.

More importantly, at the tail of the hairpin there was a flower with three petals, and around that flower there was actually a layer of blood-colored radiance coiling; the flower itself was blood-red.

As though it had been dyed by blood to become like this.

"I want to know... this attempt to kill me—Maximus Lee, is it your idea alone, or the will of the entire Joyful Zen Sect?"

As Wyatt Barnes asked Maximus Lee this, one petal of the flower on that hairpin in his right hand behind his back began slowly pulsing, and in the end turned into liquid.

The liquid quivered, and that single petal seemed to wither in an instant!

The next moment.

The liquid formed from that petal flowed like a brook, slipping along the ancient, simple patterns on the hairpin, making those rustic lines look like crisscrossing, intricate little streams.

That withered petal was entirely blood-red.

So the liquid it became was also blood-red; after it flowed along the hairpin, it merged into Wyatt Barnes’s right hand, and then completely surged into Wyatt’s body.

From the outside, it looked as though it had utterly vanished.

"A dead man has no need to know so much!"

In the face of Wyatt Barnes’s question, Maximus Lee let out a cold laugh, then lifted his hand, and with a wave of his large palm, a half-moon-shaped streak of flowing light instantly appeared in the void, shooting toward Wyatt at high speed.

Its speed was just as fast as when Maximus Lee had previously struck at Sect Leader Daven Buckingham and Grand Elder Cain Iron of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, so fast that Leilany and Hunter Swayer could not see through it.

Of course, Killian Diaz, the Buddha Son of the Joyful Zen Sect standing behind Maximus Lee, likewise could not see through it.

Simply because Maximus Lee’s attack speed was too fast.

"Alchemist Barnes!"

"Alchemist Barnes!"

And as Maximus Lee launched a killing blow at Wyatt Barnes, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, who had been blasted far away and gravely wounded by Maximus Lee, both turned pale at the same time and let out anxious cries.

At the same time, bracing their seriously injured bodies, they tried to rush in to save Wyatt Barnes.

However, by the time they had just stood up again, that half-moon-shaped streak of light filled with icy killing intent had already crossed most of the distance and reached close to Wyatt.

Buzz!

The half-moon streak of light tore through the air like the scythe of the God of Death, about to reap Wyatt Barnes’s life...

At this critical instant—

"Immovable Bright King!"

Just as that half-moon-shaped streak of light was about to fall upon Wyatt, a layer of golden light barrier rose from Wyatt Barnes’s body like lightning; on closer look, it was actually a golden Buddha phantom.

The golden Buddha phantom appeared, sheltering Wyatt within.

When Maximus Lee had struck at Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron earlier, his movements were so swift that Wyatt simply couldn’t make them out.

But this time, Wyatt not only clearly saw Maximus Lee’s movements, even this thunderous strike Maximus Lee unleashed at him became incomparably slow in his eyes—pitifully slow!

And the reason he only reacted when Maximus Lee’s attack was already close was entirely because he’d been stunned by the Immortal Origin power now flooding his body.

He was even stunned by the state of his own soul.

Now, he didn’t even need to deliberately extend his Divine Sense to probe his surroundings; with just the soul power unintentionally spilling out, he could clearly perceive everything around him.

On-site, besides himself, there were six people.

The closest was Leilany.

Then came Sect Leader Daven Buckingham of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Grand Elder Cain Iron of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and Monarch Level top-grade alchemist Hunter Swayer of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of the Joyful Zen Sect, and Buddha Son Killian Diaz of the Joyful Zen Sect.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes even had the feeling that he held everything around him in the palm of his hand.

He even felt:

With just a single thought, if he let Immortal Origin erupt from his body, it would be enough to annihilate everything nearby!

"This... is this the soul of an Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Sovereign-level Immortal Origin power?"

Wyatt Barnes was shaken to his core.

In this instant, he could clearly feel the transformation of the Immortal Origin within his body—that was a kind of metamorphosis that could not be put into words, utterly different from before, like heaven and earth, like cloud and mud!

And it wasn’t only his Immortal Origin that felt this metamorphosis—his soul also had the same feeling of transformation.

And all of this change stemmed from that single petal of the flower at the tail of his hairpin, which had turned into blood-red liquid and merged into his body...

The amount of blood-red liquid formed from that petal was actually not much.

It wasn’t even as much as a single mouthful of water Wyatt would drink normally, yet once it merged into Wyatt’s body, it caused the Immortal Origin within him to boil, and then undergo an earth-shaking metamorphosis.

The blood-red liquid formed from that petal not only induced a strange change in Wyatt’s Immortal Origin, pushing it to a ridiculously exaggerated level of transformation, it likewise caused a similar metamorphosis in Wyatt Barnes’s soul.

After the metamorphosis, Wyatt Barnes suddenly felt as if everything around him was firmly within his grasp.

At this moment, he even felt that he was the ’ruler’ of this heaven and earth!

"Huh?"

Wyatt, who had been deeply immersed in the changes within his body and unable to extricate himself, snapped back to awareness the instant the attack from Happy Zen Sect’s Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee reached him, and he instinctively unleashed the Monarch Level Immortal Method "Immovable King of Light," which he had not yet fully comprehended.

Immovable King of Light was precisely the Monarch Level Immortal Method Wyatt had won from Happy Zen Sect at the previous Pill Tao Grand Conference. Once activated, it could form the phantom of a golden Buddha around his body.

"Impossible!"

In the distance, Maximus Lee, who had been waiting to savor the scene of Wyatt being killed, suddenly shrank his pupils, his expression changing drastically.

"This..."

And Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, who had barely managed to stand up with heavily injured bodies, intending to rush in to save Wyatt, now widened their eyes, staring into the distance with faces full of shock and disbelief.

From their gaping, stupefied looks, it was as if they were witnessing something utterly inconceivable.

Clang!

At that moment, a soft sound rang out. Maximus Lee’s attack, upon colliding with the golden Buddha phantom enveloping Wyatt’s body, was like a gust of wind hitting a wall—only leaving behind a faint sound without causing the slightest damage to the wall.

"Brother Wyatt!"

Meanwhile, Leilany beside Wyatt, having heard the earlier alarmed shouts from Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, turned pale, and even in her eyes, wisps of icy mist began to surge.

"Hmm?"

In that split second, Wyatt could clearly sense the agitation of Leilany’s Immortal Origin within her body; he could even tell that Leilany was beginning to activate a secret technique with immense side effects, though it was only at the initial stage.

"Is this the means of the Thousand Illusion Ice Fox?"

Wyatt’s heart trembled. While worrying for Leilany, he could easily guess what it was.

"Leilany."

Wyatt stopped Leilany at once and said, "Don’t forget, Brother Wyatt still has that consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact in his hand... Right now, Brother Wyatt has already used one of the petals on that Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact."

Because she sensed Wyatt’s peril, Leilany had been consumed with anxiety and had long forgotten about the consumable Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact Wyatt had obtained.

In her heart, there was only one thought:

Even if she had to sacrifice her own life, she could not let Brother Wyatt come to harm!

It was only when Wyatt’s voice transmission entered her ears that she jolted, regained her senses, and halted the secret technique. But abruptly cutting off the secret technique still inflicted a serious internal injury on her.

"Wah—"

Leilany opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of clotted blood. This scene caught everyone present off guard, as no one had expected Leilany to suddenly cough up blood, and after vomiting blood her face turned deathly pale, her aura rapidly weakening.

"Leilany!"

Seeing this, Wyatt’s expression changed drastically. With his face full of heartache, he said, "What kind of secret technique were you using? You hadn’t even properly activated it—just interrupted it at the start—and it still put such a heavy burden on your body!"

Wyatt had originally thought that as long as Leilany stopped the secret technique in time, she shouldn’t suffer any severe consequences.

He had not expected that he was still too naive.

The side effects of the secret technique Leilany had used were far beyond his imagination. Even forcibly cutting it off at the initial stage still left Leilany with extremely serious internal injuries...

"Brother Wyatt, I’m fine."

Seeing the concern on Wyatt’s face and the heartache surfacing in his gaze, Leilany forced a smile and shook her head.

But just as she smiled, Leilany couldn’t help but once again let out a "wah" and spat out another mouthful of clotted blood.

Leilany’s face grew even paler.

Whoosh!

Wyatt flipped his hand, pulling his left hand free from Leilany’s embrace, then pressing it onto Leilany’s back. Gentle yet vast power surged continuously into Leilany’s body, forcibly suppressing the chaotic Immortal Origin within her.

Then, he gradually calmed the disordered Immortal Origin within Leilany’s body.

Only then were Leilany’s injuries alleviated.

"Brother Wyatt... This... this is the strength you gained after using that Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact?"

At this moment, even Leilany was shocked by the power Wyatt was channeling into her.

That power, once it entered her body, easily suppressed the rampaging Immortal Origin caused by the interrupted secret technique, and in a short time completely tamed the restless Immortal Origin within her.

After Wyatt helped Leilany smooth out the Immortal Origin in her body, her taut nerves finally relaxed.

All at once, her body went limp, as if she were about to collapse.

At the critical moment, Wyatt’s left hand shot out, wrapping around Leilany’s waist and pulling her close, letting her body lean against half of his chest, while Leilany instinctively reached out and hugged Wyatt’s waist tightly.

Just like a cuddly bear clinging to a tree.

"So it was you, little girl, causing trouble!"

Right at this moment, Maximus Lee in the near distance looked at Leilany and let out a cold laugh.
