Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1486: Third Floor of the Seven-Jewel Jewel Tower
Chapter 1486: Chapter 1486: Third Floor of the Seven-Jewel Jewel Tower
"Blood Demon Domain? Is this the power of ’True Energy Manifestation’?"
Hearing the words of the man in the black robe, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils contracted, and his face turned grim. "Could this really be the day I, Wyatt Barnes, meet my end here? I refuse to accept this... I won’t accept it!"
He refused to accept it!
He had yet to see his two unborn children.
He had yet to find his parents.
He had yet to return to Earth to exact his revenge.
He still had so many, so many things left undone.
As the colossal giants surrounding Wyatt dissipated, they dissolved once more into black mist tinged with a crimson aura.
The black-robed man instantaneously appeared before him. From beneath the shrouding cloak, a pair of eyes gleamed with a spectral light.
Only now could Wyatt clearly see the man’s eyes. They scarcely appeared human.
"Boy, it’s all over."
As the black-robed man spoke in a cold, detached tone, the massive scythe looming above his head in the void, along with the emaciated savage beast, began to slowly descend toward Wyatt. Their speed was deliberate, as if intentionally giving Wyatt a chance to breathe.
This was the black-robed man’s way of killing.
When he killed, he never took his opponent’s life with a single strike.
He enjoyed watching his prey struggle in despair as they faced death.
To him, it was a kind of mental gratification, a twisted pleasure.
But, Wyatt’s behavior would undoubtedly disappoint him.
Wyatt suddenly raised his head and looked at the black-robed man. The earlier despair on his face was gone, and the unwillingness in his eyes vanished. Instead, a peculiar smile spread across his face. "You... are a Demon Cultivator?"
"Boy, you’re quite perceptive to recognize I’m a Demon Cultivator just from my ’Blood Demon Domain.’"
Although Wyatt’s strange smile annoyed him, the black-robed man snorted disdainfully. "Even in the Moon Radiance Sect, aside from a few Saint Realm experts, the only ones stronger than me are the select few who are half a step into the Saint Realm!"
"To die at my hands is a privilege you shouldn’t take lightly."
The black-robed man let out a sinister chuckle.
"Let’s see who dies today!"
Wyatt’s lips curled into a grin, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. Before the black-robed man could react, Wyatt raised his hand and took out a chipped stone tablet.
Black mist coiled ominously around the tablet, radiating an intimidating aura.
Seeing the stone tablet, an ominous feeling arose in the black-robed man’s heart. "Boy, what is that?"
"As a Demon Cultivator from the Martial Dao Sacred Land... surely, you must know that among the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List,’ there’s one supreme artifact designed to suppress Demon Cultivators, correct?"
Wyatt’s face lit up with a radiant smile, and the despair from before was completely gone.
"’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’? A supreme artifact that suppresses us Demon Cultivators?"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, the black-robed man was momentarily stunned. Then, as if realizing something, his face paled. "It’s... the..."
"That’s right! The ’Demon Sealing Monument’!"
Wyatt let out a thunderous shout, startling the black-robed man so much that his body trembled and his focus wavered. Seizing this moment, Wyatt swung the chipped stone tablet directly at the black-robed man with all his might.
There was no profound technique in this swing, no martial arts—just a simple, unadorned strike.
And yet, this very strike became the black-robed man’s death sentence.
The chipped stone tablet, none other than the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ one of the Top Ten Sacred Artifacts in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, emanated an intense black light when hurled. As if infused with boundless energy, its speed accelerated rapidly.
Before the black-robed man could fully react and take any action, the Demon Sealing Monument had already smashed into him with relentless force.
Bang!!
A deafening boom resounded, and the black-robed man’s body trembled violently as he was sent flying backward.
In that instant, the spectral light that had glimmered in the black-robed man’s eyes was extinguished, leaving only a void of darkness that merged seamlessly with his shadowy cloak.
From that moment on, the black-robed man made no sound.
His soul had been devoured and suppressed by the Demon Sealing Monument.
At the same time, the enormous scythe formed from True Energy and the skeletal savage beast—both manifestations of the black-robed man’s techniques—vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Additionally, the ’Blood Demon Domain’ that enveloped a hundred-meter radius disintegrated into nothingness.
Following the black-robed man’s demise, the Demon Sealing Monument returned to Wyatt’s hand.
"What a close call... Thankfully, he was a Demon Cultivator. Otherwise, today would have surely been my doom!"
Wyatt let out a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions. He still felt a lingering fear as he spoke.
The Demon Sealing Monument worked exclusively on Demon Cultivators.
With Wyatt’s cultivation at the Transcending Mortal Realm, as long as his opponent wasn’t a Saint Realm Demon Cultivator, he could activate the Demon Sealing Monument and effortlessly suppress them.
"He probably never imagined... that this insignificant boy he dismissed would possess the very artifact that all Demon Cultivators in the Martial Dao Sacred Land fear and dread—the ’Demon Sealing Monument.’"
Wyatt leaped through the air, landing beside the black-robed man’s corpse. He squinted as he murmured softly to himself.
He reached out and pulled back the black robe, revealing the man’s ghastly appearance.
Even though Wyatt had experienced two lifetimes and possessed steely resolve, he couldn’t help but frown at the sight.
The black-robed man’s face was grotesquely decayed, bearing no semblance to a human visage.
An ordinary person would likely have thrown up at the horrific sight.
Rummaging through the corpse, Wyatt found the man’s Storage Ring and pocketed it.
With the black-robed man dead, the Storage Ring had become ownerless.
After claiming ownership of the ring, Wyatt looked inside and couldn’t help but be astounded. "As expected of a peak-level Entering the Saint Realm powerhouse—the wealth he accumulated is overwhelming... These mountains of what seem to be ’Sixth-grade Holy Stones’ likely number in the millions!"
Even with just a cursory glance, Wyatt estimated the mountainous pile of sixth-grade Holy Stones to be over a million.
Besides sixth-grade Holy Stones, there were also a fair number of seventh-grade Holy Stones, though nowhere near as many.
The disparity seemed unusual, but for Wyatt, it was undoubtedly a bountiful haul.
"Ordinary peak-level Entering the Saint Realm practitioners wouldn’t amass such an extravagant amount of wealth... His bounty must be tied to his ’assassin’ identity."
Wyatt was certain of this.
In his previous life as a mercenary, some of his work mirrored that of an assassin—killing for hire.
Of course, Wyatt killed with principles.
The target had to be someone who deserved to die.
No matter what, he had been trained as part of the formal special forces of H Kingdom and upheld his moral boundaries.
In addition to over a million sixth-grade Holy Stones and tens of thousands of seventh-grade Holy Stones, the Storage Ring also contained various items.
There were Saint Artifacts inscribed with Saint Markings and an assortment of Taoist Talismans.
"Three-star Divine Travel Talismans, Three-star Golden Defense Talismans... so many?"
"And... is this a Three-star Offensive Talisman?"
As Wyatt examined the Taoist Talismans in the Storage Ring, he discovered two Three-star Offensive Talismans that didn’t exist even in the Moon Radiance Sect.
Three-star Offensive Talismans, once activated, could unleash attacks comparable to the full power of a peak-level Entering the Saint Realm practitioner.
For a moment, Wyatt’s breath quickened in excitement.
"Two Three-star Offensive Talismans... What a treasure!"
Although the quantity of Three-star Offensive Talismans was far fewer than the Divine Travel Talismans and Golden Defense Talismans, obtaining two of them still put Wyatt in an excellent mood.
When he realized the black-robed man was a Demon Cultivator, he had regretted wasting the Divine Travel and Golden Defense Talismans.
These talismans were useless against Demon Cultivators of the black-robed man’s caliber.
More importantly, though, the man was a Demon Cultivator.
To deal with Demon Cultivators below the Saint Realm, Wyatt didn’t need to go through so much trouble. Summoning the Demon Sealing Monument was enough.
Just the power of the Demon Sealing Monument alone was sufficient to suppress the black-robed man.
But now, seeing the abundant talismans the black-robed man left behind, his disappointment disappeared as he not only made up for what he had spent but also gained even more.
Most importantly, he acquired two additional Three-star Offensive Talismans.
As for Two-star Talismans, there were even more.
However, there weren’t any One-star Talismans.
"Given his strength, he probably couldn’t be bothered with One-star Talismans."
Wyatt understood this well.
Judging by the black-robed man’s words, he was clearly a peak-level Entering the Saint Realm practitioner.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have boasted that besides the Saint Realm experts and a handful of half-step Saint Realm powerhouses in the Moon Radiance Sect, no one else could defeat him.
After examining the talismans in the Storage Ring, Wyatt turned his attention to the pile of Saint Artifacts.
The finest of these was only inscribed with two Three-star Saint Markings.
Such Saint Artifacts held little appeal for Wyatt.
"What a joke!"
"My Sunshoot Bow has three Three-star Saint Markings inscribed on it. These Saint Artifacts can’t even begin to compare."
In terms of value, even if all the Saint Artifacts in the black-robed man’s Storage Ring were combined, they couldn’t match Wyatt’s Sunshoot Bow.
"Hm? Quite a lot of raw materials here... I wonder if these include the materials needed to repair the third layer of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda."
Wyatt’s thoughts flickered as he noticed the pile of materials in the Storage Ring.
Currently, he was almost obsessively fixated on repairing the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda because unlocking the third layer held immense significance for him.
He dreamed of opening the third layer of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Elder Fire."
Wyatt immediately called out to Elder Fire within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda as he emptied the black-robed man’s materials, spreading them out for Elder Fire to inspect.
Elder Fire examined the materials for a long while without saying a word.
"Elder Fire, are there any usable materials?"
Eventually, Wyatt couldn’t resist asking.
"Your luck’s not bad. There are several materials here that are useful... With these, the remaining parts of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’s third layer can be fully repaired."
Elder Fire finally spoke.
Hearing Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt stood stunned for a moment, feeling as though he were dreaming.
It took him a while to recover, his eyes glinting with excitement. "Amazing! The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’s third layer can finally be fully restored... Next time I go into seclusion for cultivation, I can directly train in the third layer!"
