Chapter 836: The Voice from the Demon Sealing Monument

Chapter 836: Chapter 836: The Voice from the Demon Sealing Monument

"Under our pursuit, you have managed to run this far... You should be proud."

An elder of Grimm Wolf Fortress said lightly as he looked at Wyatt Barnes and Wood Town.

"Six elders... is there any way you could let us go? When you report back, just say you didn’t find us, how about that?"

Wood Town grinned, showing no signs of being a ’trapped beast’.

However, not one person paid any attention to Wood Town.

"If you’re worried about letting us go and not getting any benefits, rest assured... Look at my master, only twenty-eight years old, with a cultivation of ’Cave Void Realm Fourth Layer’, his future is boundless! Even the Castle Master of your Grimm Wolf Fortress may not compare to him in the future."

As Wood Town spoke, his voice was laced with a touch of temptation, "Today, if you let us go, it’s as good as owing my master a huge favor, in the future..."

"Shut up!"

An elder of Grimm Wolf Fortress seemed unable to bear Wood Town’s incessant chatter, coldly shouting to interrupt him.

"Vice Fort Master Thiago has ordered that once they catch up to the two of them, kill! Just bring the Storage Ring back."

One of the elders of Grimm Wolf Fortress spoke in a chilly voice.

Suddenly, the other five Grimm Wolf Fortress elders looked at Wyatt Barnes and Wood Town with murderous intent in their eyes; Origin Force and the substantialized ’realm’ merging within them, a terrifying power ready to burst forth.

Storage Ring?

Standing in the air and caught in such peril, Wyatt Barnes tried to keep his face as calm as possible.

Because he knew that panicking now would be of no use, only by retaining a cool state of mind might there be a slim chance for survival.

"That Thiago Relief, when he saw me earlier, his eyes revealed greed, clearly harboring ulterior motives... Now, these people want my Storage Ring."

A heavy feeling sank into Wyatt Barnes’ heart, "What exactly do they want?"

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

"Could it be the Emperor Grade spirit sword?"

The thought involuntarily rose in Wyatt Barnes’ mind.

After all, during the battle with Jaxxon Spacewood earlier that day, he had used the Emperor Grade spirit sword to shatter Spacewood’s shot arrows.

However, he was certain that aside from Heartbreak Sect Leader Magnus Patel, including Sword Thirteen, no one should have realized that the sword he used then was extraordinary.

"Unless the divine dragon-like, elusive Castle Master of Grimm Wolf Fortress was hiding in the shadows and noticed the ’extraordinary’ Emperor Grade spirit sword... But is that possible?"

Thoughts whirled in Wyatt Barnes’ mind as he pondered all kinds of possibilities.

Suddenly, a spark of enlightenment flashed through Wyatt Barnes’ mind.

"And then... Marshall Tyler, he repeatedly said that I ’won’t live long,’ and mentioned it again when I was leaving. Could it be because of him?"

At that thought, Wyatt Barnes took a sharp intake of breath.

To him, Marshall Tyler, that madman, was capable of anything.

"But by what means did he convince Grimm Wolf Fortress to launch such a large scale action against me? And moreover, they want something from my Storage Ring..."

Wyatt Barnes pondered.

Soon, an image of a broken stone stele inexplicably appeared in Wyatt Barnes’ mind, difficult to dismiss.

"That’s right! How could I nearly forget... the Demon Sealing Monument! Back at the ’Royal Martial Contest’ of the Great Turdo Dynasty, the soul that was suspected to belong to a Martial Emperor and hidden within Marshall Tyler, after taking possession of his body, had personally mentioned the ’Demon Sealing Monument’."

"This means he knows about the Demon Sealing Monument, and he likely understands its details... and the Demon Sealing Monument in my possession is exactly what Marshall Tyler has been longing for! After all, if I didn’t have the Demon Sealing Monument, he wouldn’t be so constrained by me."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Now, Wyatt Barnes was certain.

Everything unfolding before him was Marshall Tyler’s doing.

"Putting aside the Demon Sealing Monument’s ability to suppress souls, even the power to amplify ’double’ one’s strength is enough to drive any Third-Rate Power from the outside territory mad with desire!"

"The soul within Marshall Tyler, suspected to be that of a Martial Emperor, knows the Demon Sealing Monument and may very well be aware of its ’amplifying power’!"

"Even if Marshall Tyler had only mentioned the amplification power of the Demon Sealing Monument in front of Yael Zafar... Grimm Wolf Fortress would certainly go crazy for it! The Demon Sealing Monument, which could double one’s power if it were to end up in the hands of the Castle Master of Grimm Wolf Fortress, would even give them the strength to pressure Third-Rate Powers, such as Blade and Sword Sect, Cloud Sky Temple, and Heartbreak Sect!"

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, as the more he thought about it, the more he was convinced that the group’s aim was the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ lying in his Storage Ring.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a terrifying swooshing sound swept over him, causing Wyatt Barnes to feel as if struck by lightning, his back drenched in cold sweat.

"Master, be careful!"

Almost simultaneously, a loud shout reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

Boom!

A thunderous noise made Wyatt Barnes look up involuntarily, and with just a glance, he saw a burly figure standing not far in front of him.

However, the figure now appeared feeble in its aura.

In Wood Town’s chest, a fist had pierced through, belonging to the hasty Grimm Wolf Fortress elder who had attacked Wyatt Barnes.

"Such a touching scene."

The Grimm Wolf Fortress elder casually retracted his fist, and with a sweep of his hand encapsulated in the water realm, he cleansed the blood off it.

In contrast, Wood Town had a ghastly hole in his chest from which blood was spurting, quickly drenching his lower body, yet he still tenaciously clung on.

"Teacher... Master... I... I..."

Wood Town struggled for a while, trying to look at Wyatt Barnes with difficulty, as if he had something to say.

However, before he could finish his words, his body suddenly trembled violently and then fell silent. Soon after, he fell from the sky and crashed onto the plain.

"Wood Town!!"

Wyatt Barnes’s pupils constricted; he had never imagined that Wood Town would use his own body to block that punch from a Grimm Wolf Fortress elder.

To think that there was hardly any rapport between him and Wood Town.

If there really was a connection between them, it was nothing more than Wood Town’s one-sided wish to acknowledge him as his master, hoping to learn the Soul Technique ’Thousand Illusions’ from him.

But now, such a man, one he was utterly unwilling to accept as his disciple, had taken a blow from a Grimm Wolf Fortress elder for him, saving his life.

How much courage would that require?

Moreover, it wasn’t just about having the courage; it also depended on whether someone was worthy of such a sacrifice.

"Was it worth it for me?"

Wyatt’s heart quivered as if he were speaking to himself, or perhaps he was asking the now-deceased Wood Town.

In his eyes, from the very moment Wood Town wanted to acknowledge him as a master until just a moment ago, he had never shown him any kindness.

Even more so, he had repeatedly rebuked Wood Town, hoping Wood Town would give up on him.

But Wood Town?

He acted as if nothing had happened each time, enduring the scoldings and rejections as if they were nothing.

"I’m sorry..."

Before he knew it, Wyatt’s eyes brimmed with tears, tears that threatened to fall.

These tears were born of the guilt he felt towards Wood Town.

If time could flow backward, even just for a moment, he certainly would not have treated Wood Town with such indifference as before.

But now, he had no chance.

Wood Town was dead!

He died right before his eyes, for him!

"To have someone willing to die for you means you haven’t lived in vain,"

The six Grimm Wolf Fortress elders who had been silent for a moment regained their senses, and one of them looked towards Wyatt with murderous intent in his eyes, "Now, it’s time for you to follow him."

Finally, Wyatt came back to his senses, and the guilt he felt for Wood Town fully transformed into deep-seated hatred—hatred for the six Grimm Wolf Fortress elders before him, hatred for the entire Grimm Wolf Fortress!

A debt of blood must be paid in blood!

But did he have the strength to do so now?

At some point, Wyatt’s face turned extremely pale; his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palms, and after a brief sting, blood began to flow out.

Yet he seemed to feel nothing.

"I need power!"

"I need overwhelming strength!"

"I need the strength to annihilate them, to annihilate Grimm Wolf Fortress, to annihilate everything!"

At this moment, the desire for power in Wyatt’s heart surged to its peak.

His purple robe was whipped up by gusts of fierce wind, fluttering loudly.

His long hair, which had fallen loose after his headband broke, was also swept up by the wind, flying about, surrounded by layers of blue wind.

Whoosh!

Above the void, a miraculous scene unfolded. Sixty ancient Horned Dragon phantoms appeared first, followed by thirty more.

Cave Void Realm Fourfold!

Second Layer Intermediate Wind Realm!

"No wonder you were the first to emerge from the ’Maze of Illusions’ in the second round of selections at the Ten Dynasties Martial Tournament. It turns out you have always hidden your cultivation, you are actually a ’Cave Void Realm Fourfold Martial Artist’!" an elder from Grimm Wolf Fortress said with some surprise.

He wasn’t present during the third and fourth rounds of selections in the Ten Dynasties Martial Tournament, so he was unaware that Wyatt had made a breakthrough later; he assumed Wyatt had been concealing his true power all along.

"Twenty-eight years old, Cave Void Realm Fourfold... With such talent, even throughout the entire Cloud Skies Continent, you would be considered a monster. It’s a pity..."

The Grimm Wolf Fortress elder who had used the ’Age Testing Pearl’ to test Wyatt’s age during the Ten Dynasties Martial Tournament felt regretful for him.

"I have killed many in my lifetime, yet I’ve never killed a genius martial artist like you... Even if you die today, we will not forget you," an elder from Grimm Wolf Fortress said with a hint of coldness curling at the corner of his mouth.

The six Grimm Wolf Fortress elders released the ’realm’ that had materialized around their bodies, their robes fluttered without wind, and their gazes uniformly settled on Wyatt.

In their view, the young man in purple standing before them was doomed to become a ghost under their hands.

As Wyatt continued to scream inwardly, he discovered that the ’Storage Ring’ on his hand trembled.

With a thought, Wyatt realized that the Demon Sealing Monument within the storage space inside the ring was more restless than ever, more unruly than before.

When Wyatt’s thoughts touched the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, his soul trembled as if a seductive voice was saying to him:

Let me out!!

I can give you endless power!!
