Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 422: The Black Stone Empire

Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Black Stone Empire

"Hee hee... Brother Wyatt, are you awake?"

Little Gold transformed into a golden mouse and landed on the lap of the youth in a purple robe. He looked up at Wyatt Barnes and said in his Origin Force voice, "Hm, Brother Wyatt, you seem a bit different..."

"Mm, I’ve made a breakthrough."

The youth in the purple robe, also known as Wyatt Barnes, nodded and smiled.

Indeed, he had made a breakthrough.

He had officially achieved the ’Fifth Layer of the Original Infant Realm’!

"Little Gold, where are we now?"

Wyatt asked Little Gold.

Little Gold shook his little head and said in his Origin Force voice, "I don’t know."

"You don’t know?"

A strained smile appeared on the corner of Wyatt’s mouth, and he immediately looked at the hovering hawk beneath him. He whistled, signaling the hawk to descend.

Suddenly, the hawk shivered and dove.

Whoosh!

The hawk carried Wyatt and Little Gold, fast as an arrow, cutting through the sky.

Wyatt looked down and realized that they were above a vast mountain range and wilderness.

"Where is this?"

With a puzzled look on his face, Wyatt began to ponder, "Initially, the hawk was heading north..."

"Little Gold, how long have I been cultivating?"

Wyatt turned to Little Gold and asked.

"Twenty days..."

Little Gold’s Origin Force voice replied.

"So long? No wonder I’m hungry."

Wyatt touched his flat stomach and let the hawk land in the wild mountains.

After hunting a few beasts, Wyatt started a fire to cook.

Then he began roasting meat.

The aroma of grilled meat quickly filled the air, making Wyatt’s mouth water.

Wyatt took out a spirit sword and cut a few pieces on the thick piece of meat. He then sprinkled some common seasonings over the meat...

The aroma instantly became overpowering.

"Hawk, out of the three of us, you’ve had it the toughest. You eat this piece first."

Wyatt handed the piece of meat in his hand to the hawk.

But soon, Wyatt found that Little Gold’s emerald eyes were fixated on the hawk...

Although the hawk was fond of the roasted meat in Wyatt’s hand, it didn’t dare to show any movement, as if it was deeply scared that Little Gold would pounce and roast it too.

"You little one, you’re so domineering... Here, eat!"

With a forced smile, Wyatt handed the roasted meat to Little Gold.

Little Gold glanced at the hawk once more, looking satisfied and then took the grilled meat and started eating.

Wyatt continued to roast more meat.

After he and the hawk’s stomachs were filled, night gradually fell.

"We’ll camp here tonight... We’ll set off early in the morning."

Wyatt told Little Gold and then called the hawk to hide in the sky. He himself found a large, withered tree and laid down on its large trunk.

Little Gold jumped onto a tree trunk nearby and fell asleep shortly after.

The moon was faint, and the soft light poured down, illuminating Wyatt.

"It’s been three months since I left the Seven Stars Sword Clan... As far as I know, the land to the north of the Ancient City is supposedly the ’Emperor Stone Empire’. If the hawk flew full speed ahead for twenty days, doesn’t that mean that I would now be in the territory of the Emperor Stone Empire?"

Gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, a thought crossed Wyatt’s mind.

The moon tonight was particularly round.

Unconsciously, Wyatt began thinking about the Mid-Autumn festival and the idea of reunion.

In his previous life, as an orphan, the Mid-Autumn festival held no meaning for him...

Because there were no family members to reunion with.

But in this life, it was different.

He had a ’mother’ who loved him, and two ’fiancées’ who he cherishes...

"It’s been over three years since I left the Red Sky Kingdom. I wonder how Mom’s doing now?"

After thinking of his mother in this life, ’Christina Lee’, Wyatt’s thoughts were running wild.

"Nine months from now, I’ll fulfill the ’two-year promise’ with Mr. Zither... Once I fulfill this promise, I’ll take Keer, Jovie, and go back to the Red Sky Kingdom."

Wyatt made a plan in his mind.

His thoughts whirled, and before he knew it, Wyatt fell asleep.

The next morning, they set off again.

The hawk flew continuously for five days but still hadn’t managed to leave this desolate region.

"Too slow, too slow!"

Finally, Little Gold completely lost patience, and said to Wyatt, "Brother Wyatt, this fellow is too slow... How about I fly instead?"

"Okay."

Wyatt nodded, the speed of Little Gold was more than ten times faster than that of the hawk!

No doubt, they should be able to leave this desolate region very soon.

Whoosh!

Little Gold hovered in the air and suddenly grew larger, becoming as tall as a small hill about three meters high.

Wyatt swiftly landed on Little Gold’s back.

Just as Wyatt was preparing to call out to the hawk, Little Gold turned his head and looked at the hawk, his emerald eyes swirling...

Wyatt understood. Little Gold was trying to communicate with the hawk.

In the end, he saw a trace of fear appear in the hawk’s sharp eyes. The hawk glanced at Wyatt then spread its wings, turned around, and flew in the opposite direction.

"Huh?"

Wyatt Barnes was startled, "Little Gold, what did you say to the hawk?"

"Hehe... Brother Wyatt, I told it to go home, or else I would stew it up and eat it."

The condensed sound in Little Gold’s eyes entered Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

Wyatt Barnes was dumbfounded.

A voice as pleasant as a child’s, hinting a slight sinister bent...

"Little Gold, you sent the hawk back to the ’Primitive Forest.’ From now on, you’ll be my ride."

Wyatt Barnes joked.

If Little Gold is willing to be his ride, the efficiency would be considerably higher.

"Hmph... I’d rather be your ride than have that thing on my back. I am a Blue-eyed Sky Rat, a descendant of the ’Sacred Beasts.’ How could I descend to the status of being the mount for a patched feather bird?"

The condensed sound of the Origin Force in Little Gold was filled with pride.

"Descendant of the Sacred Beasts?"

Upon hearing Little Gold’s words, Wyatt Barnes was stunned.

He searched through the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor, but found no records of any ’descendant of the Sacred Beasts’...

In other words, even the Reincarnated Martial Emperor had never heard of the ’descendant of the Sacred Beasts’!

"Yeah, after I passed the ’Six Nine Thunder Tribulation’ last time, some inheritance information awakened in my mind... Our Blue-eyed Sky Rat clan are the descendants of ’Sacred Beasts’! Our bloodline is noble and superior to thousands of demon beasts."

Little Gold replied with condensed Origin force.

"It seems that even ’Martial Emperors’ don’t know everything about the Cloud Skies Continent."

Wyatt Barnes sighed.

The Reincarnated Martial Emperor, after all, spanned two lives, but despite this, he never heard of that ’descendant of the Sacred Beasts’.

The mysterious nature of the ’Sacred Beasts’ was evident.

"Sacred Beast... Just hearing this title, you can tell it’s not an ordinary beast."

Wyatt Barnes was intrigued. He then immediately inquired Little Gold about the Sacred Beasts,

But even Little Gold herself didn’t know.

All she knew was that they, the Blue-eyed Sky Rat clan, were ’descendants of the Sacred Beast’...

As for what a Sacred Beast was, she had no idea.

"Brother Wyatt, I’m going to speed up!"

The condensed sound of Little Gold’s Origin Force came over, startling Wyatt Barnes, who quickly steadied himself.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

Little Gold accelerated to the extreme, like a golden light streaking across the sky.

Wherever she passed, shadows of thousands of ancient elephants emerged, and the cloud-filled sky was cleared to form a narrow ’Sky Road’...

The ’Sky Road’ gradually closed, leaving no trace.

"That’s efficiency."

Wyatt Barnes lay on Little Gold’s fluffy back, feeling as comfortable as lying on a sofa in his previous life.

Little Gold’s speed, though not at its peak, was nearly ten times that of the ’hawk’ at its full speed...

It saved quite a lot of time.

"Brother Wyatt, there’s a city ahead, let’s find an inn to eat."

After half a day of flying with Wyatt Barnes, Little Gold, as if discovering a new land, swooped down from her mountain-sized body. Meanwhile, the condensed Origin Force said to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes glanced downwards.

Indeed, there was now a city standing on the land before them, an oasis in the desert, exceptionally noticeable.

"You little glutton, let’s go down."

Wyatt Barnes laughed and shook his head.

"Hehe...okay."

Little Gold responded with condensed Origin Force sound, and its mountain-like body fell into the dense jungle outside the city.

Wyatt Barnes left the broad and flat back of Little Gold, moving swiftly and landing steadily on the ground.

Whoosh!

Little Gold’s huge body suddenly shrank again, turning into a tiny figure that flew to Wyatt Barnes’ shoulder and perched there.

Wyatt Barnes started walking towards the distant city.

This city, with a huge area, was no smaller than the ancient city of Sky Wasteland.

As Wyatt Barnes entered the city, he could see the bustling crowd on the main street, carts and horses moving like dragons, a constant flow...

"Chee chee~~"

Little Gold was unwilling to hide under Wyatt Barnes’ long sleeves. Instead, she perched on his shoulder, curiously looking at all the things around her.

The combination of a man and a rat, although strange, did not attract the attention of others.

Wyatt Barnes also noticed.

Among the passersby, there were many warriors with fierce beasts.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes saw an inn ahead, and his eyes lit up, "Little Gold, let’s have a meal at that inn."

"Good, good."

Little Gold’s condensed Origin Force sound came into Wyatt Barnes’ ears, extremely excited.

Wyatt Barnes entered the inn, and found that it was almost full.

Luckily, a table of guests had just finished their meal and were getting up to leave not far from Wyatt Barnes.

"Good luck."

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes lit up.

Whoosh!

And Little Gold, perched on his shoulder, flew straight out and landed on the table.

When Wyatt Barnes was at a distance less than an inch from the table,

"Haha...lucky me, there’s an empty table."

A slightly sharp voice came over. Wyatt Barnes saw a flash before his eyes, and noticed a skinny young man, who looked like skin and bones, had sat down at the table before him.

Wyatt Barnes stopped, frowning slightly.
