Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2314: A Twist in the Road

Nowadays, whether it is the Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace, ’Vast Johnson’, or the Palace Master of Giant Spirit Palace, ’Archer Stone’, they do not know:

The reason why their Human Demon Clan Chief arrived so quickly is not because of any other reason, but because he was already here!

He had arrived early.

Of course, unlike Vast Johnson and others who were under the ’Tribulation Clouds’ of the ascension tribulation, their Human Demon Clan Chief was hidden above the Tribulation Clouds, in a place where they could not see.

"Clan Chief!"

Upon hearing the respectful voices of Vast Johnson and Archer Stone, all those present, except for Wyatt Barnes, Keer, Sienna Barnes, and Paisley Flores, including ’Alvaro Jones’, respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man in green descending through the air.

In fact, among those present, very few had ever seen the Human Demon Clan Chief, aside from Vast Johnson and Archer Stone.

If it weren’t for Vast Johnson and Archer Stone speaking up first to reveal the identity of the Human Demon Clan Chief, even if he stood right in front of them, they might not recognize him...

"The Clan Chief’s speed is so fast! He arrived so quickly!"

"This speed is too exaggerated, isn’t it? That ’Purple Light Pearl’ just flashed for a moment, and the Clan Chief arrived?"

"Why does it seem unrealistic... There must be a buffer time from the moment the Purple Light Pearl flashed to the Clan Chief noticing and then coming over, right? But now, it seemed there was no buffer time at all; the Clan Chief appeared right after the Purple Light Pearl flashed."

...

The people present were filled with shock and incredulity at the Human Demon Clan Chief’s ethereal presence, and these thoughts emerged in their minds one after another.

"Is he the Human Demon Clan Chief? A strong figure at the half-step immortal level?"

At some unknown time, Wyatt Barnes had already opened his eyes, no longer resting with them closed. His gaze immediately fell upon the Human Demon Clan Chief, scrutinizing him.

While Wyatt Barnes examined the Human Demon Clan Chief, the Human Demon Clan Chief also observed him.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

After the Human Demon Clan Chief appeared, he ignored Vast Johnson, Archer Stone, and others.

His gaze, at the first moment, fell on Wyatt Barnes, speaking slowly and calmly, "I have to say, your luck is truly remarkable... to have obtained a power originating from the heavenly planes, akin to ’Immortal Origin Force’, and to have it aid you!"

A power originating from the heavenly planes, comparable to ’Immortal Origin Force’!

As soon as the Human Demon Clan Chief said this, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils contracted abruptly, and his expression changed dramatically.

He naturally knew what power the Human Demon Clan Chief referred to—it was none other than the ’Sun Power’ within him, given by the three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Fire...

Previously, Elder Fire had mentioned:

The Sun Power surpasses all forces of the mundane planes, a power on par with ’Immortal Origin Force’.

Yet, all along, until just now, no one had seen through this.

And now, the moment the Human Demon Clan Chief appeared, he revealed that Wyatt possessed a power on par with ’Immortal Origin Force’, originating from the heavenly planes...

In other words:

This Human Demon Clan Chief had discovered the extraordinary nature of the ’Sun Power’ within him!

"A power originating from the heavenly planes, comparable to ’Immortal Origin Force’?"

As the Human Demon Clan Chief’s words fell, Wyatt Barnes’s expression changed wildly, and the crowd, including Vast Johnson and Archer Stone, were stunned, struggling to comprehend.

"Did the Clan Chief mean that Wyatt Barnes possesses a power comparable to ’Immortal Origin Force’ this year?"

Many looked puzzled, exchanging glances, only seeing the same confusion in each other’s eyes.

"Could it be... the power the Clan Chief mentioned that Wyatt Barnes holds, comparable to ’Immortal Origin Force’, is the technique he used later? Or perhaps that flying beast entirely formed of golden flames was created by that force?"

As a deputy palace master of the Crimson Flame Palace had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

What the Human Demon Clan Chief said next seemed to invisibly verify this deputy palace master’s speculation:

"It’s apparent... that the power transforming into a flying beast is not something you cultivated on your own."

"If I am not mistaken... you must have obtained some ’mystical encounter’, thereby accidentally acquiring that power..."

The Human Demon Clan Chief looked at Wyatt Barnes, speaking slowly and unhurriedly.

His words carried a sense of knowing Wyatt Barnes’s ’situation’ inside out, as if his gaze could penetrate everything, leaving Wyatt feeling as though he had nowhere to hide!

Upon hearing the Human Demon Clan Chief’s words, Wyatt Barnes still did not speak.

However, deep within, waves of shock surged:

"Are all half-step immortals this terrifying? This Human Demon Clan Chief actually saw through that the ’Sun Power’ within me was not by cultivation, but obtained by accident!"

The Sun Power was indeed not cultivated by Wyatt Barnes.

It was the power transmitted into him by the three-legged Golden Crow ’Elder Fire’, usually complementing the Saint Origin, with no extra consumption required...

Yet just now, as it resisted the eightieth tribulation lightning of the ascension tribulation, the Sun Power had been mostly consumed, with little left.

Since it was not a power cultivated by oneself, it couldn’t be restored once consumed.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes’s lack of response, the Human Demon Clan Chief remained unperturbed, continuing to speak slowly and calmly:

"Just now, the power within you comparable to ’Immortal Origin Force’ transformed into a flying beast, though it helped you withstand the eightieth tribulation lightning of the ascension tribulation..."

"But in reality, it’s already mostly depleted, with only a little left! I wonder... am I correct?"

Swoosh!

Upon hearing the Human Demon Clan Chief speak to this point, Wyatt Barnes could no longer remain calm, his expression changed once more.

He never expected: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

That this Human Demon Clan Chief could even see through this!

"A being at the half-step celestial level is truly terrifying!"

Looking at the Human Demon Clan Chief again, Wyatt couldn’t help but reveal a trace of apprehension in his eyes, feeling as though he had no ’secrets’ in front of this person.

"If I am not mistaken... the eighty-first Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation, it is already beyond your ability to resist! Even if you were to fight with all your might, injured as you are, supplementing with that remaining power comparable to ’Immortal Origin,’ it still couldn’t resist the final Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation!"

The Human Demon Clan Chief continued to speak, and his words were as clear as a bell, resonating sharply.

Wyatt’s face turned grim.

What the Human Demon Clan Chief said was exactly what he was worrying about now...

In others’ eyes:

Wyatt Barnes easily resisted the eightieth Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation just now, surely he could continue to resist the eighty-first Tribulation Lightning, and even successfully transcend, achieving ’half-step celestial’!

But he knew clearly:

Even though the power of the sun had returned to his body, the remaining sun’s power was no longer enough to help him resist the eighty-first Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation, the final Tribulation Lightning!

"What?!"

Upon hearing the Human Demon Clan Chief’s words, and seeing Wyatt’s face darken, Paisley Flores and Alvaro Jones’ faces changed dramatically.

Originally, like most people, they believed that after Wyatt effortlessly resisted the eightieth Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation, he would definitely be able to transcend easily and achieve ’half-step celestial’!

Unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn, with changes occurring one after another.

"I thought another ’miracle’ had occurred... only to realize this miracle was merely a fleeting illusion!"

Alvaro Jones smiled bitterly.

"Brother Leandro!"

"Daddy!"

Keer and Sienna Barnes, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn’t help but change their expressions again.

"How could this happen?"

Angelo Yellow’s frosty, beautiful face showed a hint of paleness, as though her mood had plummeted from heaven to hell in an instant.

Cody Yellow was much the same.

"As it turns out, the method Wyatt used just now to easily resist the eightieth Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation was just a ’final comeback’... and I thought he could really succeed in transcending!"

This was the thought in most people’s minds present.

Sean Cloud laughed, Archer Stone also laughed.

Most people from the Sacred Wander Palace laughed.

"So that’s how it is!"

As Vast Johnson looked at Wyatt again, he showed a cold smile, "Wyatt Barnes, I overestimated you!"

"And to think I even invited the Clan Chief to deal with you... now it seems, not to mention the Clan Chief, even I don’t need to act! That final Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation can directly strike you down!"

As Vast Johnson spoke, his voice grew more and more enthusiastic.

Moreover, whether it was Vast Johnson, or Archer Stone, or others from the Sacred Wander Palace, they’d all realized by this moment:

Their Human Demon Clan Chief had already come.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have understood Wyatt’s situation and what had happened before so clearly!

"No wonder he is the Human Demon Clan Chief, such perceptiveness!"

Seeing his current ’predicament’ exposed to everyone by the Human Demon Clan Chief’s words, Wyatt was shocked by the Clan Chief’s insight, and couldn’t help but sigh.

At the same time, he turned his head slightly to glance at Keer’s side.

His gaze continually swept over Keer and Sienna’s figures, as if trying to etch their likeness deep into his mind...

"Goodbye... Keer, Sienna."

"If there’s a next life, I’ll surely make it up to you!"

Now, even though Wyatt was unwilling, he knew the situation was a foregone conclusion, difficult to change...

Of course, this didn’t mean Wyatt was planning to sit and wait for death!

No matter how strong the final Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation, he wouldn’t just stand there waiting to die...

He would fight with every last ounce of strength against the Tribulation Lightning, until he was struck down.

In that way, even if he ultimately fell, walking the Netherworld Path, he wouldn’t feel his death was unjust!
