Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Aiming for the Top

"Galilea Coldring."

Upon the tranquil sea surface, a young woman with a stern face was gazing at the young man opposite her and spoke unhurriedly.

She was introducing herself.

And the fact that she would introduce herself showed that her current opponent had earned her recognition.

"So her name is Galilea Coldring."

For a moment, many people from the Cloud Skies Continent suddenly realized.

Galilea Coldring, the personal disciple of Mist Hidden Island’s Third Island Master, had once broken into the ’top three’ of the Mist Hidden Martial Contest.

The Mist Hidden Martial Contest allows anyone whose age can be determined by the Age Testing Pearl to participate.

The Age Testing Pearl can determine the age of anyone under seventy.

As is well known, once a human martial artist cultivates to the Martial Emperor Realm, they can preserve their youth indefinitely, so judging age by appearance is unreliable.

As for Demon Beasts, it’s even more exaggerated.

Once a Demon Beast breaks through to the Transforming Void Realm, it can transform into a ’Demon,’ able to shape-shift into a human of any age, even a three-year-old child.

"Thomas King."

The young man, the strongest under the Black Tortoise Martial Emperor, introduced himself in response to Galilea Coldring.

As soon as Thomas King finished speaking, Galilea Coldring made her move.

Under Wyatt Barnes’s watchful eye, she took the initiative to strike first, her full strength erupting as Emperor Grade spiritual claws appeared and snugly fitted onto her hands.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

Wherever Galilea Coldring passed, Wyatt Barnes only heard a series of piercing sounds echoing through the air, as the claws on her hands shot out bursts of fierce light, transforming into a sky full of claw shadows.

In the blink of an eye, Galilea Coldring reached Thomas King, her claws swooping down with a ferocity as if carrying the might to rend the heavens, aggressively unstoppable.

As a being in the Third Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, Galilea Coldring’s strength was undoubtedly superior to Thomas King’s by a notch.

Thomas King was only at the Second Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm.

If not for his status as an Odd Species with innate Divine Ability, he could not have possibly made it to the ’top three’ of the Mist Hidden Martial Contest.

Facing the stronger and aggressively approaching Galilea Coldring, Thomas King was extremely calm.

As she moved, swift as an arrow piercing through the air, he remained standing still, showing no intention of evading, but his eyes suddenly intensified.

Innate Divine Ability!

In the moment just before Galilea Coldring reached him, he activated his innate Divine Ability with his mental strength, and the bizarre black lotus reappeared to meet the aggressively approaching Galilea Coldring.

By the time Galilea Coldring reached in front of Thomas King, the black lotus was just a short distance from her as well.

Galilea Coldring’s pupils suddenly contracted.

At this moment, she was confident that she could inflict serious injury on Thomas King the second before the black lotus entered her body.

However, since killing was not allowed, she was uncertain whether she could incapacitate Thomas King from attacking her after seriously injuring him... Therefore, she chose to dodge.

"She’s going to lose."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, having clearly understood Galilea Coldring’s situation just now.

If she had executed her attack, seriously injuring Thomas King would have been inevitable, even possibly leaving him unable to continue the fight.

But because she feared Thomas King’s Innate Divine Ability, she chose to dodge.

"Innate Divine Abilities are not something one can simply dodge if they choose to."

Wyatt Barnes knew this all too well.

This was because, in the memories of his past two lives as the Reincarnated Martial Emperor, he encountered Odd Species with soul attack types of Innate Divine Abilities more than once.

So, he understood the terror of such Divine Abilities.

Just as Wyatt Barnes had anticipated.

Galilea Coldring, having refrained from attacking Thomas King and attempting to dodge, soon regretted it.

She found that the black lotus was not only increasing in speed but also stubbornly clinging to her like an incurable disease, following her closely no matter where she dodged.

Rending Void Black Yin Claws!

Soon, Galilea Coldring realized that continuing this way would only put her at a disadvantage, so she made a temporary remedy and once again charged at Thomas King.

The claws tore through the air, and a whirlwind of claw shadows howled.

However, this time, Thomas King had already evaded early, leading her to miss her target.

At this moment, the speed of the black lotus had caught up with that of Galilea Coldring.

Not only did its speed keep increasing.

This was the mystery of the ’Innate Divine Ability’ – once it was cast, its speed was so fast that it didn’t belong on the same level as the caster’s own speed.

Unless one’s strength far surpassed that of the Odd Species individual, it was almost impossible to evade their Innate Divine Ability once cast.

This was something Wyatt Barnes could ascertain from the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor.

It was for this reason that he believed Galilea Coldring would lose.

Due to one wrong decision, Galilea Coldring eventually lost, and lost thoroughly.

After several accelerations, the black lotus ultimately caught up with her, merging into her body and causing her to become momentarily stupefied. In that moment of her daze, Thomas King promptly struck, defeating her.

Thomas King, victorious!

"Is this the power of a soul attack type Innate Divine Ability?"

"How terrifying is this Innate Divine Ability! It’s not on the same level as the auxiliary types of Innate Divine Abilities of the other Odd Species."

"That’s for sure! Today, among the Odd Species with knowledge of Innate Divine Abilities, only Thomas King made it to the top three."

...

After Thomas King defeated Galilea Coldring, many were discussing and exclaiming about the terrifying prowess of the Innate Divine Ability Thomas King possessed.

"Master, I have let you down."

Galilea Coldring returned to the side of the Third Island Master on Mist Hidden Island, her head lowered in guilt.

"It’s my fault for not warning you in advance... However, experience is gained through mistakes. Remember the lesson from today. Soul attack talents and divine abilities are not something you can avoid just because you wish to."

The Third Island Master spoke without blaming Galilea Coldring.

At the same time, the Third Island Master announced loudly: "Rest for a quarter of an hour... The final round of the competition will continue after a quarter of an hour."

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, are you confident? That Thomas King, even if I myself faced him, I dare not say that I could certainly beat him."

Colin Yorke asked Wyatt Barnes.

Towards the end, his face showed apprehension.

Wyatt Barnes smiled, "Why not just watch and see?"

"Thomas King, this Wyatt Barnes is not simple... If you confront him as you did with Galilea Coldring, you will be undoubtedly defeated!"

Resting to the side, Thomas King heard a clear voice condensed with Origin Force in his ear; he recognized it as the voice of his master ’Shiloh, the Martial Emperor of the Black Tortoise.’

"Master, I understand."

Thomas King quickly responded, and as he looked towards Wyatt Barnes again, he muttered, "You had better not lose to Galilea Coldring... otherwise, I will be disappointed."

In the blink of an eye, the quarter of an hour passed.

This time, it was ’Galilea Coldring’ who actively took the field. After the rest, her injuries had completely healed.

Now, she could only choose Wyatt Barnes as her opponent.

Facing Wyatt Barnes, who soared into the sky to confront her, Galilea Coldring slowly spoke, "Galilea Coldring."

"Wyatt Barnes."

Wyatt Barnes responded in a timely manner.

"Wyatt Barnes, I will not show you mercy just because you avenged my junior sister."

Galilea Coldring spoke with a voice condensed by Origin Force.

"As you wish."

Wyatt Barnes responded indifferently, with a smile on his face.

His indifference also angered Galilea Coldring, lighting a fury in her eyes.

Without any hesitation, she stepped into her martial arts movement technique and attacked Wyatt Barnes, her near-Emperor Grade spiritual weapon claws tearing through the air, once again deploying the "Rupturing Dark Yin Claw."

"Rupturing Dark Yin Claw" was a high-ranking technique of the heavenly tier, and Galilea Coldring had already mastered it to the perfected realm.

For this reason, she could forcibly extract a person’s heart right out of their chest barehanded.

Now, utilizing her near-Emperor Grade spiritual weapon claws, the power of "Rupturing Dark Yin Claw" soared, ascending to a whole new level.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

As Galilea Coldring swooped towards Wyatt Barnes, it was like a giant hawk descending, accompanied by a skyful of claw shadows that seemed intent on tearing Wyatt Barnes to shreds.

The claws tore through the air, stirring up fierce gusts that enveloped Wyatt Barnes like a storm.

The purple robe on Wyatt Barnes fluttered and rustled in response.

Under the gaze of the crowd, faced with Galilea Coldring’s overwhelming onslaught, Wyatt Barnes stood still, his feet unmoving.

In the eyes of a group of powerful Martial Emperor and Demon Emperor spectators, Wyatt Barnes casually drew a sword which instantly multiplied into nine, revolving around his body.

Suddenly, the nine swords rotating around Wyatt Barnes’ body shot out simultaneously.

"The Nine Calamities Sword Art!"

"The Divine Dragon Deci-Blade Flash!"

In the face of the claw shadows created by Galilea Coldring’s "Rupturing Dark Yin Claw," seemingly capable of tearing everything apart, Wyatt Barnes’s mind moved, and he instantly deployed two high-ranking heavenly tier martial techniques.

Any one of these two techniques was not inferior to Galilea Coldring’s "Rupturing Dark Yin Claw."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

A series of thunderous noises erupted, deafening to the ear.

It was the clash of Wyatt Barnes’s attacks against Galilea Coldring’s, causing a series of thunderous noises, which sent rolling shockwaves sweeping out in all directions.

Instantly, the spectating crowd felt a gale blowing straight into their faces, with those of weaker cultivation being blown far away.

Many were forced to retreat repeatedly.

"What brilliant martial skills!"

The two martial techniques deployed by Wyatt Barnes turned into nine dragons each, morphing into eighty-one Divine Dragons, then shooting out a hundred and sixty-two extreme blade flashes, leaving the multitude of watching Martial Emperor and Demon Emperor powerhouses in awe.

Bang!!

Shortly thereafter, a loud sound drew everyone’s attention.

Many Martial Emperor and Demon Emperor powerhouses saw clearly that after Wyatt Barnes blocked Galilea Coldring’s "Rupturing Dark Yin Claw," he shook his sword, and the blade lashed out.

Striking out like divine assistance, it was like a collapsing mountain pressing towards Galilea Coldring.

Galilea Coldring could not react in time and was brushed by the force on Wyatt Barnes’s sword, then like an arrow released from a bowstring, she flew out, utterly defeated.

"Wow!!"

As Galilea Coldring was sent flying, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her already pale face turning even whiter.

The victory was thereby decided.

From the confrontation with Galilea Coldring to defeating her, Wyatt Barnes stood there from beginning to end, his feet never moving an inch.

This sight left the spectating crowd in awe and disbelief.

"Thomas King."

After defeating Galilea Coldring, before the surrounding crowd could react, Wyatt Barnes fixed his gaze on Thomas King, his nine swords merging into one and landing in his hand.

He was ready for the first challenge.
