Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: Emperor Yonah’s Striving

"I... I’m not dead?"

Wyatt Barnes regained consciousness at some unknown time, only to feel his head heavy and foggy, "I remember... I was sucked into a whirlpool that suddenly appeared on the sea surface."

"The power of the whirlpool was so strong that, even with my near invincible strength in the Transcending Mortal Realm, I couldn’t resist it... That force was beyond the Transcending Mortal Realm."

"After that, it seems like I was knocked unconscious by the twisting waves of the whirlpool..."

Shaking his head, Wyatt Barnes recalled what happened before he lost consciousness.

"Where is this place?"

As he came to his senses, Wyatt Barnes surveyed his surroundings and found himself on a small island... This island was not only deserted, but also very small.

He looked around and saw nothing but an endless sea.

"Where is my Storage Ring?"

Soon, Wyatt Barnes discovered that his Storage Ring was gone, and his face suddenly changed color.

"Are you looking for this?"

Just as the color drained from Wyatt Barnes’s face, a detached voice came from above, out of nowhere.

Immediately after, a tall figure appeared before Wyatt Barnes.

This was a middle-aged man in black clothes, tall and broad, standing there like a tower... In his hand, he was holding a Storage Ring.

This Storage Ring was all too familiar to Wyatt Barnes.

It was his very own Grade One spirit-imbued Storage Ring.

"Bastard!"

Moving his gaze from the Storage Ring, Wyatt Barnes’s brows furrowed when it fell on the face of the man in black, "Why are you here? And... How did my Storage Ring end up in your hands?"

The man in black clothes was none other than Emperor Yonah, who had long since left Crescent Island overseas on Holy Island.

To be precise, it was Emperor Yonah after Dominic King’s spirit had possessed his body.

As for Dominic King, he was the remnant soul of a Demon Cultivator that had once resided within Wyatt Barnes, who had once saved Wyatt Barnes’s life in order to find a suitable body for himself.

"Boy, where is that tower?"

Emperor Yonah did not answer Wyatt Barnes, but instead asked gravely.

After he wiped away Wyatt Barnes’s mark of ownership from the Storage Ring with his Transcending Mortal Realm spiritual power and claimed the Storage Ring for himself, he was unable to find the Jewel Tower inside it.

For a moment, he realized that Wyatt Barnes must have hidden the Jewel Tower elsewhere.

As to whether it was on Wyatt Barnes’s person, he had no doubt.

Although he couldn’t see where Wyatt Barnes had hidden the tiny tower, given the tower’s ability to change size, it must be hidden in some inconspicuous place.

"How did you remove the bond of ownership from my Storage Ring?"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes noticed the connection between himself and the Storage Ring had been severed, and his face turned pale again.

"With spiritual power above the Transcending Mortal Realm, one can easily erase the mark of ownership on Storage Rings below the level of ’Saint Artifacts’."

Emperor Yonah said indifferently: "I know the tower is definitely by your side... Now tell me, where exactly did you hide it? I haven’t been able to find it."

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

After a while, he looked at Emperor Yonah and sneered, "It seems you’ve already claimed the Storage Ring as yours... What? The Demon Sealing Monument didn’t give you any trouble?"

At this moment, he felt some regret.

If he had known this day would come, he would have upgraded the Storage Ring to the threshold of ’Emperor Grade Spirit Artifact’... That way, the Storage Ring would fall under the category of ’Saint Artifacts’, preventing someone from forcibly wiping out its mark of ownership.

"Hmph!"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Emperor Yonah’s face darkened.

The Demon Sealing Monument naturally gave him trouble... The moment he claimed Wyatt Barnes’s Storage Ring as his own, the Demon Sealing Monument seemed to have perceived it and started to stir.

After he carefully examined everything inside Wyatt Barnes’s Storage Ring and did not find the tower, he immediately removed his mark of ownership from the Storage Ring.

He was indeed worried that the Demon Sealing Monument would break its seal and suppress his soul once again.

Once bitten, twice shy!

"Where is Julia?"

After calming down, Wyatt Barnes asked in a deep voice.

Now, he knew exactly why Emperor Yonah had appeared before him... it was for the ’Jewel Tower’.

It seems that Emperor Yonah had also noticed the extraordinariness of the Jewel Tower and thus coveted it.

However, due to his concern over the Demon Sealing Monument that Wyatt Barnes had, as well as worrying about Julia, Emperor Yonah did not rush to act... until today, when he finally made his move.

In the time that Wyatt Barnes was unconscious, he took off his Storage Ring, forcibly removed the mark of ownership, making it impossible for him to access the Demon Sealing Monument.

Wyatt Barnes was clear.

For Emperor Yonah, without the Demon Sealing Monument, he was like a tiger without teeth, nothing to fear.

"That little girl is probably leading people everywhere looking for you now."

Emperor Yonah snorted confidently, then said, "However, they won’t be able to find you!"

Relieved to hear that Julia was unharmed, Wyatt Barnes exhaled.

"Did you create that whirlpool on the sea before I passed out?"

After calming down and considering his current predicament, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t hard-pressed to guess certain things... However, he still looked indifferently at Emperor Yonah and asked in a deep voice.

He wanted to confirm it from Emperor Yonah himself.

"Indeed."

Emperor Yonah straightforwardly admitted, "That vortex was the Sea Devouring Beast’s doing... but that Sea Devouring Beast was marked with a slave imprint by this Saint, and it appeared in the sea area you passed through under my control."

"For this day, to avoid that young girl, to take off your ’Storage Ring’... I have put in a lot of thought! Finally, heaven favors the diligent, and I have succeeded," Emperor Yonah said, his face breaking into a brilliant smile toward the end.

"This Saint advises you to honestly hand over the tower! As long as you tell me how to not be rejected by it... I can spare your life!"

Soon, the smile on Emperor Yonah’s face vanished and he said sternly to Wyatt Barnes.

"You mean... if I don’t hand over the tower, you’re going to kill me?"

Wyatt’s gaze turned colder, his tone growing deeper and more solemn.

"This Saint will not kill you. I will torment you until you divulge the tower’s location and its ’secrets’... However, if it’s by my torture that you divulge everything, this Saint will still kill you in the end!"

A cold, sinister smile once again appeared on Emperor Yonah’s face.

"You’ll die first!!"

As soon as Emperor Yonah’s words fell, a sharp glint flashed in Wyatt’s eyes, and at the same time, he burst forth like a cannonball, shooting up into the sky.

In his hands, a bow and an arrow appeared.

Meteor Strike!

After pulling the bowstring into a full moon, Wyatt released the arrow smoothly, letting it shoot out like lightning towards Emperor Yonah.

"Child’s play!"

Facing Wyatt’s sudden attack, Emperor Yonah looked utterly unconcerned, casually raising his hand.

In an instant, an immense aura, accompanied by an invisible force, effortlessly knocked Wyatt’s arrow away...

However, things didn’t end there.

At the same time, the void above Wyatt’s head trembled.

Right after, Wyatt felt a gigantic palm appearing above him, forcefully pressing down... During this process, all his strength was suppressed.

Bang!!

A loud noise erupted, deafening.

Without any suspense, Wyatt was forcefully pressed down, making intimate contact with the ground, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"Is this the power of the Transcending Mortal Realm?"

This was the only thought that came to Wyatt’s mind as intense pain coursed through his body.

At that moment, he even had a feeling.

In front of Emperor Yonah, he was like an ant... an ant that could be trampled at will!

Of course, he was clear in his mind that this was due to the gap between his own power and that of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

"Even though I have now comprehended the ’Ninefold Emperor Realm Fusion Mystery’ and can be considered invincible below the Transcending Mortal Realm... Once I encounter a being from the Transcending Mortal Realm, I am undoubtedly doomed to defeat!"

At this very moment, Wyatt deeply realized this point.

"It’s a pity, I have only recently comprehended the ’Ninefold Emperor Realm Fusion Mystery’ and have yet to touch the threshold of the Transcending Mortal Realm... Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so passive."

Wyatt thought to himself.

"Kid, my patience is limited... If you’re unwilling to speak, I have plenty of ways to make you!" Emperor Yonah spoke impatiently, his voice eventually becoming a threat.

"Julia was right... Demon Cultivators will be Demon Cultivators, never easy to deal with. It’s just a pity that I didn’t take her words to heart before."

Wyatt said coldly: "The thing I regret most now is not using the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ to suppress you when I had the chance, to nip this trouble in the bud!"

"In this world, there is no pill for regret," Emperor Yonah replied blandly. "I’ll give you ten more breaths’ time... Either hand over the tower and tell its secret; otherwise, slowly enjoy the ’gift’ I’ve prepared for you."

"By that time, you’ll have no chance... I have at least a hundred methods to force you to hand over the tower and even spill its secrets!"

As Emperor Yonah spoke, his voice grew increasingly colder, as if coming from the netherworld, chilling to the bone.

Hearing Emperor Yonah’s words, Wyatt’s heart sank like still water.

"Elder Fire, do you have any way out?"

Taking another deep breath, Wyatt proactively reached out to the Golden Crow ’Elder Fire’ inside the Jewel Tower... He knew that unless he prompted, Elder Fire typically wouldn’t pay attention to the outside.

Though Elder Fire was mighty, he could not leave the Jewel Tower.

Furthermore, even his power could not be transmitted out of the Jewel Tower.

The only thing that could be conveyed was his voice.

Now, Wyatt was contacting Elder Fire not to ask for his intervention... He just wanted to know if there was any way Elder Fire could help him escape this calamity.

"Do as he says, give him the Jewel Tower... and also, tell him the ’secret’ of the Jewel Tower,"

Elder Fire quickly responded to Wyatt.
