Chapter 1203 ’Big Treasure

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203 ’Big Treasure

"It truly is the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit’!"

Gazing at the spirit fruit in his hand, which was so red it was nearly purple, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Although the burly man and the old man had mentioned this ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit’ during their confrontation earlier, Wyatt had not seen it with his own eyes, so he could not be sure whether the two had identified it correctly.

But now, looking at the spirit fruit before him, he was completely certain.

The fruit in front of him was indeed the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit.’

Because it was the spitting image of the Millennium Vermilion Fruit from the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor.

According to the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor, Wyatt knew:

In his first life, the Reincarnated Martial Emperor had also obtained a Millennium Vermilion Fruit, almost identical to the one he now held.

Therefore, he was now absolutely certain that the spirit fruit in his hand was the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit.’

Wyatt’s voice clearly reached the ears of the old man who was turned away, causing the old man’s expression to change once more as he sharply cried out, "Who’s there?"

As he shouted, the old man rapidly turned around, retreating swiftly as if fearing an attack from behind.

After a moment, he managed to get a clear view of the person who had been standing behind him: a purple-robed young man about twenty-five years old, with handsome features, starry eyes, and an elegant demeanor.

"Who are you?"

The old man asked sternly, looking at the purple-robed youth before him.

Naturally, the one being stared down by the old man was none other than ’Wyatt’

Wyatt, too, came back to his senses and cast a nonchalant glance at the old man, "Who I am doesn’t matter... What’s important is that I have taken this ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit.’"

As Wyatt spoke, his tone carried an air of no argument.

"This was found by me!" the old man stated emphatically.

Although he didn’t know exactly how strong the purple-robed youth before him was, judging by the latter’s previously demonstrated speed, he could infer that the youth’s cultivation was extraordinary.

If not necessary, he had no desire to provoke the young man.

However, the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit’ held a special significance to him; if he consumed it, he might be able to break through from the ’Level Eight Martial Emperor Realm’ to the ’Level Nine Martial Emperor Realm.’

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he was not willing to give up on the Millennium Vermilion Fruit.

"You found it?"

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Wyatt was momentarily startled, and then he couldn’t help but burst out laughing heartily, "If I remember correctly, wasn’t it that big fellow who found the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit’ first?"

"Did you not say ’the capable one shall possess it’ before you killed him?"

By the end of his statement, Wyatt gave the old man a piercing look, "If you have an objection, I don’t mind if you challenge me... As long as you can defeat me, I will return this Millennium Vermilion Fruit to you. How about that?"

The capable one shall possess it?

Hearing Wyatt’s words, the old man’s expression grew even more somber, feeling like he had just shoot himself in the foot.

At this point, he finally realized that the young man’s appearance was no mere coincidence.

Perhaps, as early as when the old man was fighting with the burly man, the young man had been lurking in the shadows; otherwise, how could he have possibly known what the old man had said at that time.

And Wyatt’s final words further intensified the old man’s apprehension.

Since the young man dared to speak in such a manner, it showed his confidence in his own strength.

For a moment, the old man considered retreating.

But the nascent thought to retreat was quickly suppressed by the ’greed’ that surged from deep within him, "No! I cannot give up on the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit’ just like this."

The presence of the Millennium Vermilion Fruit made the old man unwilling to leave.

Swoosh!

Not just that, as he muttered to himself, his eyes crazed with madness, he raised his hand and an Emperor Grade spiritual weapon cane appeared, charging straight at Wyatt.

His attack was full-on, relentless, as if he intended to kill Wyatt with a single blow.

However, as quick as he charged, his retreat was just as rapid.

Just as the old man wielded the Emperor Grade spiritual weapon cane and charged at Wyatt with all his might,

Wyatt not only did not dodge, he stepped forward and, before the cane could touch him, struck out with a palm that was seemingly guided by divine aid, hitting the old man squarely in the chest with a resounding ’boom.’

Immediately after, the old man shot back like an arrow loosed from its bowstring, crashing harshly against the mountain wall and vomiting several mouthfuls of blood.

It was because Wyatt had pulled his punches.

Otherwise, with Wyatt’s strength, killing him would have been a matter of moments.

A mere ’Level Eight Martial Emperor’ was beneath Wyatt’s notice.

Once the old man caught his breath, his first action was to take out a healing Pill Medicine and swallow it. After recovering somewhat, he looked toward Wyatt, who stood not far away, his face etched with fear.

The next moment, without another word, he took off running.

When he realized Wyatt was not pursuing him, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As he left, the old man’s back was drenched in cold sweat; never before in his life had he felt so close to death.

He never wanted to experience that nearly suffocating sensation ever again in his life.

As for the ’Millennium Vermilion Fruit’, by now he had tossed it out of his mind, no longer daring to covet it.

Thus, the Millennium Vermilion Fruit became another item in Wyatt’s possession.

"Once I return, I’ll have Pearl Rowan gather the other ingredients... As soon as all the materials are gathered, along with this Millennium Vermilion Fruit, I’ll be able to concoct a cauldron of ’Profound Emperor Pill.’"

With this thought, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Within moments, he regained his composure and, like discovering a treasure, stored the "Ten Millennium Vermilion Fruit" in the Storage Ring.

"It seems my luck isn’t bad... I haven’t found the ’Big Treasure’ left by the Reincarnated Martial Emperor yet, but I’ve got a ’Ten Millennium Vermilion Fruit.’"

Muttering to himself for a while, a smile gradually formed on the corners of Wyatt Barnes’s mouth.

"Now, it’s time to search for the ’Big Treasure’ left by the Reincarnated Martial Emperor."

Following that, Wyatt began to search throughout the mountain range according to the memories from ten thousand years ago of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor, aiming to find the Storage Ring that the emperor had left behind.

During his second life, the emperor had prepared a variety of rare and exotic treasures for his third life, all of which he placed in that masterless Storage Ring.

Now, Wyatt intended to acquire that Storage Ring because possessing it was equivalent to owning the ’Big Treasure’ left by the Reincarnated Martial Emperor.

"Where exactly is it?"

After searching for a day and a night, Wyatt still hadn’t found anything.

After ten thousand years, the mountain range had changed to some extent.

Therefore, finding the Storage Ring left by the Reincarnated Martial Emperor was no easy task for Wyatt, and it would take some time.

Finally, after three days and three nights, Wyatt successfully found the Storage Ring, deeply buried beneath the earth. Had it not been for Wyatt’s keen spiritual sense, he might never have discovered it.

Drip!

Wyatt pricked his finger, let a drop of blood fall, and dropped it onto the just unearthed and ancient Storage Ring, initiating the blood recognition of the master.

At that moment, Wyatt also gained control of the Storage Ring.

With a mere thought, he saw everything inside the Storage Ring.

This Storage Ring had a frighteningly large space, "Worthy of being an Emperor Grade spiritual tool crafted by the Reincarnated Martial Emperor... so spacious."

The space inside the Storage Ring in Wyatt’s hand was so vast that it could rival a spacious mansion.

His attention, however, was quickly drawn away by other contents.

Inside the vast space of the Storage Ring was a mountainous pile of all sorts of rare and exotic treasures that dazzled Wyatt to the point where he couldn’t recover for a while.

These were the ’Big Treasure’ left by the Reincarnated Martial Emperor—henceforth belonging only to him.

Hiss!

After taking a deep breath, Wyatt calmed his excited heart and began to inventory the various rare and exotic treasures inside the Storage Ring, completely engrossed in them.

Even though he had been mentally prepared, the sight of so many treasures still caused Wyatt’s heartbeat to accelerate continuously.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Heaven Fortin Sect, Wyatt Peak.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, and a figure appeared above the summit of Wyatt Peak—a black silhouette.

It was a tall young man dressed in black, with a handsome face and an inherently imposing demeanor. As he stood there, it seemed as if he merged with the heavens and the earth.

Clearly, he was no ordinary individual.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Suddenly, the black-clad young man’s lips moved slightly, he spoke directly, his voice not loud but infused with Origin Force, spreading to every corner of Wyatt Peak.

"Who is calling for the Sect Leader?"

"The voice seems to come from the peak."

...

At once, the entire Heaven Fortin Sect was stirred, and many elders and disciples of the sect rose into the air, heading toward the peak.

Pearl Rowan and Three Graham, as Vice Sect Leaders of the Heaven Fortin Sect, quickly appeared as well.

Winnie Romero, Kamari Gold, and Fill Bear also made their appearances one by one.

"Fill Bear, who do you think it could be?" Kamari Gold asked with a voice condensed by Origin Force.

"How should I know?" Fill Bear replied irritably, giving Kamari Gold a sidelong glance before muttering, "The Young Master hasn’t returned yet, and someone is already seeking him out... It’s unclear whether they’re friend or foe."

Before long, almost all of the elders and disciples of the Heaven Fortin Sect who weren’t in secluded cultivation or away on long journeys had gathered atop Wyatt Peak.

After arriving at the peak, the group looked at the distant figure in black clothes, pointing and discussing among themselves.

"Was it him who was calling the Sect Leader’s name just now?"

"It seems like it."

...

Many disciples of the Heaven Fortin Sect sized up the black-clad young man.

"Who are you? What business do you have with our Sect Leader?" Pearl Rowan asked the black-clad young man sternly.

Unfortunately, the black-clad young man did not respond to Pearl Rowan, instead looking around at the gathered group of Heaven Fortin Sect elders and disciples, and loudly asked, "Did Wyatt Barnes kill ’Spring Sun,’ the disciple of the Lost Stone Forest Martial Emperor?"

The question from the black-clad youth came abruptly, and those present couldn’t respond momentarily. Once a few began to comprehend, their expressions shifted.

Although no one admitted it, the faces of many elders and disciples of the Heaven Fortin Sect undoubtedly confirmed it by default.

"Very well, very well."

In an instant, the expression of the black-clad young man remained unchanged, but his tone of repetition was clearly tinged with a hint of coldness.
