Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 955: Rey Jones

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Rey Jones

The materials for refining a ’Sub-Emperor Grade Spirit Instrument’ included many that even the ’instrument fire’ of a Grade One Artifact Refiner would struggle to smelt.

It was precisely for this reason that a Sub-Emperor Grade Spirit Instrument could be imbued with the property of destroying ordinary spirit instruments, including ’Grade One Spirit Instruments’.

Even Grade One Spirit Instruments can be destroyed?

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the pupils of a North Nether Sect disciple contracted involuntarily, surprise spreading across his face as he asked in a heavy tone, "Who on earth are you?"

"A nobody."

Wyatt Barnes responded indifferently, while at the same time, the Sub-Emperor Grade spirit sword in his hand slowly lifted, ready to strike down the North Nether Sect disciple at a moment’s notice.

"I am a disciple of the North Nether Sect... If you dare to kill me, the North Nether Sect will absolutely not let you off!"

The North Nether Sect disciple threatened solemnly.

Confronted with the subtle murderous intent in the eyes of the purple-robed youth before him, he didn’t flee because he knew he couldn’t.

The other’s strength was far superior to his own.

"There isn’t a third living person here... Do you think, if you die here, anyone would know it was I who killed you?"

After hearing the North Nether Sect disciple’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but laugh, then gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

Whoosh!

Immediately after, before the other could react, Wyatt Barnes unsheathed his sword and eradicated him.

After killing the North Nether Sect disciple, Wyatt Barnes took his ’Storage Ring’, and then proceeded to remove the ’Earth Mystique fragments’ from the bodies of over a hundred puppets.

Once hundreds of ’Earth Mystique fragments’ were collected into Wyatt Barnes’s Storage Ring, he transformed into a gust of wind and vanished within the expansive cave that was as wide as a Martial Arts Performance Field.

For a time, the vast cave was left with only piles of broken rocks scattered around, and three corpses that were a shock to the senses.

"Seventh-Order Emperor Realm Earth Mystique fragments... Not bad."

As Wyatt Barnes sped forward, he weighed the Earth Mystique fragments in his hand, which were flickering with yellowish-brown energy, and muttered to himself, "Together with the ’Third-Order Emperor Realm Wind Profound Mystery fragments’, ’Third-Order Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Mystery fragments’, and ’Third-Order Emperor Realm Sword Profound Mystery fragments’ that I already possess... all the Mystery fragments I can use are now complete."

"The pressing matter is to find a Mystery fragment that I have no use for to hand over to the Sect."

Wyatt Barnes put away the Earth Mystique fragments flickering with yellowish-brown energy and his eyes flashed with determination as he continued his search.

Along the way, he also encountered young powerhouses from other factions.

Besides those young disciples of other factions who had entered from entrance No. 2, he encountered many unfamiliar faces, "These people must be the disciples from second-rate forces who entered from entrance No. 1."

Through his journey, Wyatt Barnes witnessed many conflicts.

Some were fighting over ’Grade Two Spirit Instruments’, ’Grade One Spirit Instruments’, or for Seventh-Order or above ’Mystique fragments’, leading to brutal battles with young powerhouses falling from time to time.

However, Wyatt Barnes did not intervene.

Neither ’Grade Two Spirit Instruments’ nor ’Grade One Spirit Instruments’ interested him.

As for the ’Mystique fragments’, he was only lacking a ’Ninth-Order Earth Mystique fragment’, but he did not encounter any, and he had no interest in the others either.

"Hmm?"

As he passed a vast cavern, Wyatt Barnes seemed to sense something and abruptly stopped.

Hum!

Almost simultaneously, the sound of a blade’s hum entered Wyatt Barnes’s ears.

Wyatt Barnes turned his gaze in response to the noise and saw a robust young man leisurely killing another young man with the spirit blade in his hands.

After a successful strike, the robust young man scanned the two other young men not far away, who looked somewhat uneasy, and said scornfully, "Now, do you two still covet the ’Ninth-Order Earth Mystique fragment’ in my hands?"

The two young men glanced at each other upon hearing this; for a moment, neither dared to harbor any thoughts of attacking the robust young man.

"Ninth-Order Earth Mystique fragment?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up; he had just been wondering when he would come across a ’Ninth-Order Earth Mystique fragment’, and unexpectedly, he found one so soon.

In an instant, Wyatt Barnes extended his spiritual power to explore the large expanse of clothing on the robust young man.

"Transforming... Transforming Void Realm Third Layer?!"

After probing the other’s cultivation, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils constricted, and a look of shock crossed his face.

The previous North Nether Sect disciple, with his ’Second Layer Transforming Void Realm’ cultivation, had already surprised him.

And now, he had encountered an even more powerful individual, a young powerhouse of the ’Third Layer Transforming Void Realm’.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes started to seriously assess the robust young man.

Dressed in green robes, the robust young man possessed a common appearance, with thick brows and large eyes that, while making him seem simple and unrefined on the surface, flickered with exceptional wisdom.

Clearly, he was not as simple as he appeared to be.

"Transforming Void Realm Third Layer... If he fully unleashes his strength, it’s comparable to the force of over four hundred ancient Horned Dragons! The spirit blade in his hand is a ’Grade Two Spirit Blade’. Although its power amplification isn’t as high as the spirit instrument I refined, it’s also not low, at least amplifying ’seventy to eighty percent’ of his strength,"

After gauging the other’s cultivation, Wyatt Barnes began to ponder internally, "With an amplification of ’seventy to eighty percent’ on top of the power of over four hundred ancient Horned Dragons, it equates to additional strength of more than three hundred ancient Horned Dragons."

"So, he doesn’t need to use ’realm’ and can still unleash the strength of over seven hundred and ten ancient Horned Dragons! As long as the ’realm’ he comprehends is above the ’Second Layer’ of the ’Transforming Void Realm’... in terms of strength, I am no match for him."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes drew in a cold breath.

When he gave his all, the strength he could exert with the ’near Emperor Grade spirit sword’ in his hand was comparable to the strength of a thousand ancient Horned Dragons.

Once his opponent comprehended the ’Second Layer Transforming Void Realm,’ and gave it his all, he could unleash the power of one thousand and ten ancient Horned Dragons.

If it were just this, Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t fear him and could fight him on equal grounds.

But if his opponent comprehended the ’Third Layer Transforming Void Realm,’ or even a higher level of the ’Transforming Void Realm,’ Wyatt Barnes admitted to himself that he was far from being his opponent’s match.

After all, his opponent was a ’Third Level Transforming Void Realm Martial Artist,’ so none of this was out of the realm of possibility.

However, to just give up on the ’Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment’ like this, he felt a bit reluctant.

"If you have a ’Seventh-Order Blade Mystique fragment’ in your possession, I’d be very willing to exchange the ’Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment’ I just obtained with you... If you don’t, then get lost!"

Just then, the voice of the burly young man reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears once again, causing his eyes to light up instantly.

Seventh-Order Blade Mystique fragment?

He happened to have one on him.

It was precisely the one he won from betting with the Sect Leader of the Sun and Moon Sect before entering the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.’

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two young men standing to one side, who originally had faces filled with anxiety, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the burly young man’s words. Not daring to linger, they quickly left and disappeared inside the cave in the blink of an eye.

For a moment, the entire cave was left with only Wyatt Barnes and the burly young man.

"What, you also want to snatch the ’Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment’ from my hands?"

Upon discovering Wyatt Barnes’s presence, the burly young man’s eyebrows raised slightly as he spoke indifferently, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you... Sometimes, one wrong decision could very well cost you your life!"

Hearing the words of the burly young man, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

This person did not seem to have a violent disposition, possessing an air of ’if others do not offend me, I do not offend them.’

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes felt more at ease.

"You just said... the ’Seventh-Order Blade Mystique fragment’ could be exchanged for the ’Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment’ you have on hand?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes narrowed as he straightly asked.

"Indeed!"

The burly young man nodded and seemed to remember something, his eyes lighting up, "Brother... by saying that, do you by any chance have a ’Seventh-Order Blade Mystique fragment’?"

As he spoke, excitement filled the eyes of the burly young man.

Whoosh!

Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, and there appeared a fragment in his grasp—the ’Seventh-Order Blade Mystique fragment’ he had recently won from the Sect Leader of the Sun and Moon Sect.

"Seventh-Order Blade Mystique fragment!"

Seeing the fragment taken out by Wyatt Barnes, the burly young man’s face showed an excited smile. He then produced a profound earthen-yellow fragment—the Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment.

"Young brother, let’s exchange."

As if deeply afraid that Wyatt Barnes would change his mind, the burly young man quickly tossed the ’Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment’ to Wyatt, seemingly not the slightest bit worried that Wyatt might take his mystique fragment and renege on the deal.

Wyatt Barnes didn’t expect the burly young man to be so straightforward, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of goodwill. As he caught the ’Seventh-Order Earth Mystique fragment,’ he also tossed the ’Blade Mystique fragment’ to the other party.

The burly young man caught it eagerly as if he had obtained a treasure and swiftly stored it in his Storage Ring. Then he looked back at Wyatt Barnes and grinned, "My name is ’Rey Jones,’ a disciple of the Impermanence Sect... May I ask how to address brother?"

The Impermanence Sect, one of the three great ’second-rate powers’ in the Northern Desert.

Wyatt Barnes, already quite fond of Rey Jones, smiled back in response, "Wyatt Barnes, disciple of the Five Elements Sect."

"Five Elements Sect?"

Hearing this, Rey Jones’s eyes flickered with surprise, "Is that the Five Elements Sect from the region south of the Northern Desert?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"I’ve heard my master mention your Five Elements Sect before... It’s said that your sect once had an exceptionally talented martial artist with the potential to become a ’Martial Emperor’! Unfortunately, he got injured over twenty years ago and has since fallen from grace."

Rey Jones said.

Hearing Rey Jones’s words, Wyatt Barnes was startled and naturally guessed that the person Jones referred to was ’Callen Spacewood,’ the Peak Master of the Wood Peak from the Five Elements Sect.

However, what he did not expect was that ’Callen Spacewood’ had such a renowned reputation, to the point where even people from the ’second-rate forces’ in the Northern Desert knew of him.

"He is the Peak Master of our Five Elements Sect’s Wood Peak."

Wyatt Barnes replied with a smile.

Rey Jones nodded and then added, "Elder Brother Ling Tian, I’m delighted to have met you today... If there’s a chance in the future, I must find you so we can have a few good drinks! Also, within this ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure,’ dangers lurk everywhere. If you’re not entirely confident, it’s best not to actively try to snatch ’treasures’ from others."
