Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1480: Two More ’Three-Star Saint Markings

"It has been ten days now... My senior brother should have inscribed the other two ’Three-Star Saint Markings’ onto my Sunshot Bow by now, right?"

After leaving the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower, Wyatt Barnes exited his room, left the courtyard, and departed from the outer sect area.

Ten days later, he once again stepped into the inner sect region.

"Did you see that? That’s Wyatt Barnes!"

Unlike before, this time, Wyatt was recognized shortly after entering the inner sect area.

Wherever he passed, inner sect disciples were all casting their gazes toward him.

"No wonder those outer sect disciples were looking at me so differently when I left the courtyard earlier... It seems senior brother has spread the news of taking me as his junior disciple on behalf of his master."

Ten days earlier, after returning from Trevor Baillie’s residence, Wyatt had secluded himself.

He spent a month on the second floor of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower, which equated to ten days outside, before emerging again.

Recalling the awe he felt from the gazes of outer sect disciples he encountered along the way, coupled with the complex glances from inner sect disciples before him now, Wyatt deduced a few things.

It didn’t take long before Wyatt arrived at Trevor Baillie’s residence again.

"Young Master Wyatt, please come inside."

The attendants of Trevor Baillie’s estate now treated Wyatt with utmost respect, clearly viewing him as the "second master" of the estate.

"Junior brother."

From afar, Trevor Baillie approached with warmth and enthusiasm upon seeing Wyatt.

"Senior brother."

Wyatt responded with a smile.

"Mission accomplished."

After meeting Wyatt, Trevor took out the ’Sunshot Bow’ belonging to Wyatt and returned it to him.

Wyatt accepted the bow and immediately focused on its bowstring, quickly noticing two newly added Saint Markings. "Senior brother, what are the additional Three-Star Saint Markings you engraved on this bow for me?"

"These two Three-Star Saint Markings are the ’Explosive Flame Saint Marking’ and the ’Erosion Saint Marking.’"

Trevor explained with a smile, "They’re specifically chosen to work with the ’Piercing Saint Marking’ and yield exceptional effects."

"I’m eager to hear more."

Wyatt’s curiosity was piqued.

"Explaining too much is pointless... Let’s leave the sect and test it out on some savage beasts."

Trevor proposed.

"Sounds good."

Wyatt agreed; after all, practical experience beats theoretical explanations.

Soon, Wyatt and Trevor left the inner sect and departed the Moon Radiance Sect entirely, heading outside of its territory.

This marked Wyatt’s first time leaving the Moon Radiance Sect since arriving nearly four months ago.

"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky to have Trevor Baillie with you."

Shortly after Wyatt and Trevor had left, a figure loomed faintly near the Moon Radiance Sect’s mountain gate. From afar, it blurred into obscurity, as if it were an optical illusion.

Up close, however, the figure was discernibly human.

Were there any outer sect disciples present, they’d recognize this individual at a glance—it was none other than the outer sect elder, Holden Yellow.

Holden Yellow, despite merely being an outer sect elder and having a lower cultivation level than Trevor Baillie, had previously acquired a secret technique for concealing his presence during his younger years.

With his current cultivation at Small Perfection within the Entering the Saint Realm stage, anyone below the Saint Realm would be incapable of detecting his movements.

Naturally, Trevor hadn’t noticed him.

Recently, Holden had volunteered to manage the mountain gate rotation. Typically, aside from several outer sect disciples, one outer sect elder was required for this duty.

The true reason Holden had volunteered for this role, of course, was due to ulterior motives.

His target was Wyatt Barnes!

If Wyatt dared to leave the Moon Radiance Sect without a strong protector, Holden would follow him immediately.

Once in a location far from the sect’s territory, Holden would kill Wyatt, seize Wyatt’s Storage Ring, and take his crystal card.

Holden’s aim was to reclaim the merit points he’d lost to Wyatt and avenge his humiliation!

Unbeknownst to Wyatt, aside from Evander Mullins, there was yet another person in the sect plotting his demise.

At this moment, Wyatt had accompanied Trevor to an isolated area far from the Moon Radiance Sect’s grounds.

This place was notable not only for its remoteness but also for the sheer number of savage beasts present.

Savage beasts were creatures in the Martial Dao Sacred Land devoid of sentience.

They were akin to the beasts of ordinary mortal territories, engaging in mutual slaughter with survival of the fittest as their law.

Each powerful savage beast would claim its own territory. Should any intruders encroach upon its domain, the beast would fight to its last breath to defend its absolute control.

"This area is the territory of a savage beast in the early Entering the Saint Realm stage."

Trevor informed Wyatt.

Wyatt nodded.

Prior to this, Trevor had briefed Wyatt about the area.

This region was called ’Beast Ridge.’

Here, every savage beast above the Entering the Saint Realm stage had its own territory, where it reigned as the absolute authority.

Boom!!

As Trevor struck downward, an invisible force descended fiercely, blasting the ground below and targeting a massive tree. The impact obliterated the tree entirely, leaving behind a deep crater.

"Stay alert—it’s coming."

Trevor indicated, "Once it appears, shoot it with an arrow at full strength... but don’t aim for its vital parts."

"Not the vital parts?"

Wyatt asked in confusion. "Then how are we supposed to kill it?"

"Just follow my instructions. However, even if you aren’t aiming at its vital parts, be sure to activate all three Saint Markings simultaneously—missing even one won’t do."

Trevor advised.

Wyatt nodded.

Shortly thereafter, along with a series of enraged beastly roars, a massive creature appeared before Wyatt’s eyes.

It was a savage beast, its size rivaling that of a small mountain. Its mere presence caused the ground to quake as if struck by a severe earthquake.

The savage beast had a bizarre appearance, leaving Wyatt unable to pinpoint the words to describe it.

It possessed a triangular head, with an enormous eye at each corner, all glaring menacingly at Wyatt and Trevor.

BAM!!

With a deafening boom, the colossal savage beast stomped the ground, propelling itself skyward like a massive cannonball, lunging toward Wyatt and Trevor.

In that instant, lightning and thunder danced through the air, and Wyatt narrowed his left eye as the Mysterious Eye quietly activated.

In Wyatt’s left-eyed vision, the beast’s movements seemed slightly slowed, though still astonishingly quick. Its advance was accompanied by relentless rumbling winds and resonating thunder.

Wyatt raised his left hand to grip the Sunshot Bow, while his right hand conjured a True Energy arrow, anchoring it upon the bowstring.

As Wyatt drew back the bowstring, streams of True Energy surged out from his Qi Sea, coursing through over seventy Saint Veins, and, within an instant, merged into the bowstring and activated the three Saint Markings engraved on it.

Piercing Saint Marking!

Explosive Flame Saint Marking!

Erosion Saint Marking!

All three were Three-Star Saint Markings.

As Wyatt nocked the arrow onto the taut bowstring, his left eye locked firmly onto the savage beast’s lower abdomen.

That particular area was certainly no vital part.

"Even with the ’Piercing Saint Marking,’ this arrow would likely pierce through the beast’s body... But as it’s not a vital area, even if it penetrated, it would only injure the beast, not kill it."

Despite his doubts, Wyatt chose to trust Trevor’s judgment.

SWISH!!

At the moment Wyatt released the arrow, the True Energy arrow in his grip transformed into a streak of green lightning, tearing through the void and shooting forward like a comet.

Owing to the ’Piercing Saint Marking,’ the arrow shattered through the air, resembling a meteor ripping the fabric of space.

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by the beast’s agonized howls, the True Energy arrow pierced through the beast’s thick scale-covered lower abdomen and emerged on the other side, revealing its arrowhead.

"Pay close attention!"

At precisely that moment, Trevor’s voice echoed sharply in Wyatt’s ears, sounding like a burst of thunder.

With Trevor’s reminder, the scene before Wyatt’s eyes crystallized distinctly within his vision.

The True Energy arrow had penetrated the beast’s body.

The arrowhead now protruded from its back.

The entire sequence transpired in mere fractions of a second.

In the next moment, Wyatt’s eyes widened in shock.

The True Energy arrow, which had effortlessly pierced through the beast’s body due to the ’Piercing Saint Marking,’ suddenly erupted into dazzling green flames.

Soon after, the radiant green flames flared out like an inferno.

BAM!!

With a deafening explosion, the green True Energy flames detonated, leaving a massive hole in the beast’s lower abdomen—large enough for two grown adults to step through simultaneously.

"Explosive Flame Saint Marking?"

As the beast emitted anguished cries, the first thing to cross Wyatt’s mind was these four words.

The sight before him wasn’t due to any innate power of his.

This could only be attributed to the power of the Saint Markings.

"And also the Erosion Saint Marking."

Almost as if confirming Wyatt’s thought process, the savage beast’s body began emitting black smoke from the cavity in its abdomen.

The black smoke spread rapidly, and wherever it reached, everything dissolved into nothingness.

The gaping hole in the beast’s lower abdomen expanded quickly.

Around the edges of the hole, wherever the black smoke traveled, the beast’s flesh and blood were corroded, as if doused with concentrated sulfuric acid or instant dissolving powder.

The beast’s anguished cries grew weaker and weaker.

Soon, they stopped altogether.

At the same time, the beast’s body disintegrated entirely, fully devoured by erosion. Only a wisp of black smoke arose, before dissipating into nothingness, leaving no trace.

Wyatt stood in stunned silence.

Mere moments ago, a living, breathing savage beast in the early Entering the Saint Realm stage had now completely vanished from existence.

Saint Markings akin to the Erosion Saint Marking existed in the memories of the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation.

In fact, he had even used similar markings before.

However, those markings were only capable of dealing with weak adversaries—not those with any significant cultivation level.

Now, with a marking reminiscent of those, an entire savage beast in the early Entering the Saint Realm stage had been utterly annihilated.

The sight had left Wyatt profoundly shaken.
