Chapter 621: Chapter 621: The Legacy of the Martial Emperor

Of course, Wyatt Barnes had no inkling of what was happening on the third floor of the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure Vault’, nor did he have much interest in it.

Right now, he was stuck engaged in combat with a reflection puppet.

Ever since the mirror puppet seized upon his weakness while he was in a flustered state of mind and launched an aggressive flurry of attacks, he found himself caught off guard and unable to defend against the onslaught.

Whoosh!

A swift streak of black sword light drew forward from the mirror puppet’s hand, transforming into a bolt of lightning that landed on the spirit sword that Wyatt hastily raised.

Clang!

The two identical ’Grade One Spirit Swords’ collided, resulting in a harsh metallic clash.

At the same moment, Wyatt Barnes could only feel an overwhelming force being transmitted from the mirror puppet’s sword, effectively suppressing the power he has yet to fully summon.

In an instant, the violent force from the reflection puppet’s sword coursed along Wyatt’s spirit sword, flowing into his body, ripping through it like a hot knife through butter.

Even Wyatt’s deployment of the high-ranking defensive martial skill, ’Earth Dragon Protection’, proved futile.

The defensive energy formed by the ’Earth Dragon Protection’ simply crumbled at the touch of the mirror puppet’s overpowering force, instantly splintering into fragments.

The surge of violent force flooded into Wyatt’s body, sending him flying backward.

Wyatt flew backward as if he was an arrow shot from a bow, harshly crashing into the distant cave wall.

"Pugh!"

Tasting sweetness in his throat, Wyatt couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of congealed blood, looking paler than ever and utterly disheveled.

"The Mirror Puppet is like my ’shadow’ ... and now I’ve been defeated by my own shadow. People will laugh at me when they hear about this!"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a wry smile.

"I’ll have to search through the memories of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor again... to see if there’s a way to counter this ’Mirror Puppet’."

Taking a deep breath, faced with the advancing mirror puppet, Wyatt hastily tried to evade further attacks.

Meanwhile, a flurry of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor’s lifetime of memories continuously flashed across in his mind.

It goes without saying that the Reincarnation Martial Emperor was a powerful inscription master.

In the memories of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor, there was the set-up method for the inscription array that formed the ’Mirror Puppet’, along with plenty of information about the ’Mirror Puppet’.

However, when Wyatt Barnes seriously sorted through these pieces of information, he was struck with a sudden realization.

This information was completely useless to him at the moment.

It was all just praising how formidable the ’Mirror Puppet’ was.

Once the Mirror Inscription Array was set up, no one could escape the onslaught of the mirror puppet ...

"If I were the one setting up the Inscription Array, watching others be defeated by their mirror puppet, I’d naturally be happy. But the problem is that I am the one being suppressed by my own mirror puppet!"

As Wyatt continued to evade the attacks, he was growing increasingly agitated.

"Is there really no way?"

Wyatt Barnes continued to search through the memories of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor for details about the ’Mirror Puppet’...

Unfortunately, despite halving the day, Wyatt had no leads.

Time went by silently.

And Wyatt Barnes continued to be hounded by the Mirror Puppet, looking more and more harried.

Even now, he was continuously rummaging through the memories of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor.

As the saying goes: Heaven favors the diligent.

This statement is not incorrect.

After a day and night, Wyatt finally found a vague memory deep within the Reincarnation Martial Emperor’s lifetime of memories.

This nebulous memory was about the weakness of the Mirror Puppet.

"The most terrifying thing about a Mirror Puppet, apart from its lack of soul, feelings, and fatigue... is another aspect. That is, no matter what the original figure grasps or new changes they undergo... it will ’learn’ accordingly."

The vague memory started to become clearer.

"However, this very characteristic, although it is an advantage, it is also its biggest drawback... If the original figure intentionally hurts themselves by courting disaster, the Mirror Puppet would generally follow suit."

"The original figure can timely stop themselves... but the Mirror Puppet, won’t think that much, being single-minded, it will keep hitting against the wall, never stopping until it completes its task!"

This memory made Wyatt’s eyes light up.

"So that’s how it’s done ... I can’t believe this thing has been toying with me for so long. It seems this test is not just a test of power but also of wisdom! To be precise, it’s a test that combines power and wisdom."

Making another swift move to avoid an incoming attack from the Mirror Puppet, Wyatt had a thought.

In an instant, the origin force within his body started to roil.

As Wyatt’s keen spiritual power reached out to the Mirror Puppet, he noticed that the origin force in its body was also in fluctuation, almost mirroring the situation in his own body.

"Let’s play a bigger game!"

Wyatt’s heart clenched, a trace of madness appearing in his eyes.

Following that, the origin force within him reversed its flow, striking back along its path ...

Destroying numerous meridians along the way.

At this moment, Wyatt felt an unbearable pain.

Fortunately, these injuries were all within his control; taking a dose of the ’Great Returning Pill’ later would heal him.

At the same time, Wyatt’s spiritual power could see that the Mirror Puppet’s origin force was also self-destructing its own body ...

Boom!

The origin force within Wyatt’s body erupted outwards, annihilating the meridians along its path.

The Mirror Puppet followed suit.

"That should be enough."

A thought crossed Wyatt’s mind. He stopped the movement of the origin force.

The Mirror Puppet, however, didn’t cease its actions and continuously destroyed its own body.

Wyatt Barnes consumed a Great Returning Pill, and with an icy gaze, he faced the wavering puppet golem.

Sword Drawing Technique!

With an incredibly swift strike, a sword howled out.

Facing the puppet golem whose movements slowed due to internal injuries, Wyatt turned into a fierce tiger, instantly severing the golem’s neck.

A deep sword mark was left on the golem’s neck, but there was no blood.

Boom!

At that moment, the puppet golem froze, trembled, then instantly burst into nothingness.

The Inscription Array had broken.

"Congratulations, you’ve passed the sixth test...as the first person to pass all the tests, you will receive my entire legacy! Walk through the stone door that is opening ahead, and you can reach the place where I clung to life till the very end."

The voice of the Martial Emperor once again echoed, entering Wyatt’s ears clearly.

"I’ve passed!"

A smile crossed Wyatt’s face, and he was inexplicably excited.

Just at this moment.

Rumble! Rumble!

...

Wyatt saw that the cave wall in front of him was shaking, and hideous cracks appeared, joining together to form a spider web.

Soon, the wall collapsed, and a massive stone gate appeared in Wyatt’s sight.

Now, the stone gate was rising.

Bang!

A loud noise echoed as the stone door completely rose.

Behind the stone door was a passage.

The passage was not long - even standing where he was, Wyatt could see the light at the end.

"The Martial Emperor’s inheritance!"

Wyatt took a deep breath, at that moment he could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Without any hesitation, Wyatt darted straight towards the passage in front.

Although he had memories of the past Martial Emperor’s life, he was not the actual Martial Emperor and, to him now, the Martial Emperor’s inheritance was something unreachable.

But now, this once unattainable inheritance was within his grasp, which naturally excited him.

Passing through the passage led to another massive cave that spread out before Wyatt.

The cave was large, but empty.

In the distance, there was a stone platform where a person was sitting cross-legged.

To be precise, it was a complete skeleton.

The skeleton was dressed in a white robe, an ageless garment that had endured countless centuries without decay, causing astonishment.

Wyatt took a step forward, slowly walked to the skeleton, and surveyed it.

The skeleton was extremely robust, presumably a strong man in his day.

Now, the skeleton’s right hand was stretched out flat, tightly holding a simple, ancient sword that was planted in the ground.

"This sword..."

A light couldn’t help but shine in Wyatt’s eyes.

He could tell that this sword was much stronger than the ’Sword Embryo’ in his hand...

"Huh."

Suddenly, when Wyatt saw the character engraved on the sword handle, he was completely stunned.

Landon!

It was clearly the character ’Landon’.

"Could it be this coincidental?"

Wyatt took a deep breath, stepped forward, and reached out to touch the sword in the skeleton’s hand.

For a moment, Wyatt only felt that the sword was chilly to the touch, and when his spiritual force extended into it, he confirmed one thing.

"This is a ’Grade One Spirit Sword’!"

Wyatt had fully confirmed it.

"Not only that, this spirit sword should have been personally forged by the Martial Emperor in his lifetime..."

Wyatt, having merged with the Martial Emperor’s memories, knew in great detail about some of the habits of the Martial Emperor in his day.

The Martial Emperor in his second life had mastered the art of weapon forging to its extreme.

Later on, whenever he forged a ’Grade One Spiritual Weapon’ or an ’Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapon’, he would always engrave the character ’Landon’ on it.

The reason he engraved this character was because the Martial Emperor’s name in his second life was ’Godfrey Landon’!

Godfrey Landon, the name of the Martial Emperor in his second life, had accompanied him throughout that lifetime.

Of course, when the Martial Emperor again stood at the pinnacle of the Cloud Skies Continent in his second life, aside from a few friends, few knew his real name.

Everyone respectfully called him ’Martial Emperor’!

The Martial Emperor, at that time on the Cloud Skies Continent, was a legend, an unbeaten legend.

"According to the Martial Emperor’s memories... in his lifetime, he did not make many ’Grade One Spiritual Weapons’ or ’Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapons’, and they were all given to his close friends or relatives."

Wyatt’s gaze fell on the skeleton in front of him, "Could this person have some connection with the Martial Emperor?"

Thinking of this, Wyatt couldn’t help but shake his head and gave a self-deprecating smile, "What am I thinking... When the Martial Emperor went through the reincarnation process in his second life, it was tens of thousands of years ago. Even the strongest Martial Emperor or Martial Emperor must have already turned into a handful of yellow soil."

"However, over ten thousand years, people grow old and die... yet high-quality spiritual artifacts, due to their special materials, can survive for an eternity."
