Chapter 1865: Chapter 1865: The Death of Emperor End
The body berserk, dragon heritage divine ability, the duration of berserk effect is determined by the realm of understanding.
Once the duration ends, the berserk effect will disappear accordingly, and afterwards, one will fall into a weakened state.
This point has always been the ’aftermath’ of body berserk!
It was precisely because of this aftermath that Emperor End once thought he might soon die at Wyatt Barnes’ hands, dying at the hands of an existence he once looked down upon like an ant.
Naturally, he was very unwilling about this.
But what use is unwillingness?
The situation is stronger than him!
If he should blame, he should blame himself for being careless back then, letting Wyatt escape right under his nose.
And just when Emperor End felt somewhat hopeless, he unexpectedly discovered that as his power weakened and his speed slowed down, Wyatt’s speed also slowed, and Wyatt’s power was weakening too.
In an instant, he realized Wyatt’s previously used divine ability also had an ’aftermath’.
Suddenly, he saw hope again.
Even if he falls into a weakened state momentarily, facing the similarly weakened Wyatt, he is unafraid!
After all, his foundation is established, far stronger than Wyatt.
He is at the early Earth Saint Realm, whereas Wyatt is only at the mid Human Saint Realm; after both being weakened, surely he is still stronger!
However, at this moment, Emperor End forgot one issue.
That is... even if both his and Wyatt’s divine abilities have ’aftermath’, due to different divine abilities, the aftermath is certainly different.
It was precisely because of this point that Emperor End died with unclosed eyes!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
Along with three sword lights flashing out, Emperor End, who fell into a weakened state and had a strength reduced by one grand realm, only possessing early Human Saint Realm strength momentarily, was killed outright.
And the three sword lights that killed him came from Wyatt Barnes.
To be precise, it came from Wyatt’s true body, along with his two other avatars.
The two avatars appeared again after he used the divine ability ’Transcendent Sword Dance’.
Rumble!!
Until Emperor End’s massive body fell to the ground with a loud crash, the onlookers finally snapped out of the shock of Wyatt killing Emperor End.
However, when their gazes landed on Emperor End’s corpse, they were momentarily stupefied.
"This Emperor End actually thought the divine ability I used, ’Minor Devouring Technique’, had aftermath... truly ridiculous! But, compared to his ’body berserk’, Minor Devouring Technique is clearly superior by more than one level. Minor Devouring Technique, worthy of being praised endlessly by even Elder Fire as a powerful divine ability!"
Recalling the scene just now, while secretly mocking Emperor End, Wyatt couldn’t help but sigh internally.
Just now, a quarter of an hour had passed, Emperor End’s berserk effect vanished, while the sun True Origin he enhanced through Minor Devouring Technique was also reverted.
But even so, he still possessed sun True Origin comparable to mid Human Saint Realm strength.
Plus, he had multiple means at his disposal, including the divine ability ’Transcendent Sword Dance’, so his strength hadn’t weakened much compared to before.
In contrast to Emperor End, his strength plummeted by a grand realm after the berserk effect disappeared!
Despite his strong physical body, he was killed by Wyatt!
"Right... Dragon Pearl!"
Just when the onlookers were stupefied, Wyatt seemed to recall something, his eyes lit up as he swooped down, intending to dig out the Dragon Pearl from Emperor End’s body.
The Dragon Pearl is indeed good for repairing the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!
"Given Emperor End’s strength, his Dragon Pearl should provide even greater help in repairing the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda."
While swooping down, Wyatt thought to himself.
However, just when Wyatt approached Emperor End’s massive body, preparing to strike with a sword and cut it open.
Boom!
A vast force landed on him, sending him flying.
This force was very strong, yet very gentle, more like it was gently sending Wyatt away.
"Emperor Mountain!"
Meanwhile, a figure appeared beside Wyatt like lightning, it was ’Lanni Barnes’.
At this moment, Lanni’s expression was unpleasant as he looked at Emperor Mountain, who had acted earlier.
"House Master Barnes, the dragon clan’s body must not be desecrated!"
Facing Lanni, Emperor Mountain was utterly unafraid to meet his gaze, "Even in the Upper Domain Dragon Clan, it is the same."
Upper Domain Dragon Clan!
Obviously, Emperor Mountain deliberately mentioned ’Upper Domain Dragon Clan’ to pressure Lanni, "Emperor End being killed by your son is Emperor End’s incompetence... our dragon clan will also honor our promise and yield the opportunity to enter the ’Dragon Washing Pool’! However, Emperor End’s corpse must not be desecrated by anyone. This is the dragon clan’s bottom line!"
Emperor Mountain’s speech was sonorous and powerful.
"Bottom line!"
"Bottom line!"
...
Instantly, many dragon clan members present echoed the shout.
Because Emperor End was killed and the opportunity to enter the ’Dragon Washing Pool’ was taken away, their mood was very bad, and now, they had a place to vent.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Lanni Barnes no longer paid attention to Emperor Mountain. Instead, he looked at Wyatt Barnes and said via a voice transmission, "Wyatt, although Emperor End’s body is full of treasures, considering the current situation, it’s not worth it... The most urgent thing is for you to enter the Dragonsmith Clan’s ’Dragon Washing Pool’ and make use of this once-in-millennia opportunity from the Lower Realm Dragon Clan."
"Alright."
Wyatt Barnes nodded. He was not a reckless person and could naturally see the determination of Emperor Mountain and the other members of the Dragonsmith Clan.
He knew that although Emperor End’s Dragon Pearl was valuable, it was impossible to dig it out right under the nose of a group of Dragonsmith Clan members.
So, he quickly dispelled this idea and did not persist.
At the same time, various gazes around them fell on Wyatt Barnes.
Among these gazes, there was astonishment, disbelief, shock, fear, and apprehension...
"This Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Wyatt Barnes, actually killed the Dragonsmith Clan’s Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Emperor End... His talents are by no means inferior to his father’s!"
"The Mansion of Azure Clouds is truly fortunate, first having Lanni Barnes, and now Wyatt Barnes!"
"With him, the Mansion of Azure Clouds can certainly shine for another thousand to eight hundred years without any problem."
...
A group of high-level officials and disciples from various quasi-third-rate powers looked at Wyatt Barnes with very complex expressions.
Such an outstanding young talent, if he appeared in their forces, given time, he could certainly lead them to a higher level, becoming an extraordinary power in the Lower Domain, comparable to Shadow Mountain Black Market and the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
Just like Lanni Barnes back in the day, who single-handedly supported the entire ’Mansion of Azure Clouds’!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
At the same time, a group of high-ranking Dragonsmith Clan members also gathered around Emperor Mountain.
Aside from Emperor Mountain remaining composed, every high-ranking Dragonsmith Clan member, including the Law Enforcement Elder and Five-Clawed Blood Dragon ’Zen Blood’, looked at Wyatt Barnes with eyes full of murderous intent.
Wyatt Barnes killed Emperor End, causing the Dragonsmith Clan to lose their most suitable clan chief successor.
The Dragonsmith Clan, to produce another Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and cultivate it to Emperor End’s level, would undoubtedly require a long time and a vast amount of resources.
With this thought, they couldn’t help but feel troubled and simultaneously hated Wyatt Barnes, who killed Emperor End!
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Wyatt!"
At some unknown time, Augustine Landon appeared beside Wyatt Barnes, congratulating him on gaining the opportunity to enter the Dragonsmith Clan’s Holy Land ’Dragon Washing Pool’.
Withered also appeared beside Lanni Barnes. Although he said nothing, his gaze towards Wyatt Barnes carried a sense of reverence.
Previously, if he was courteous to Wyatt because of House Master Lanni Barnes,
Now, his reverence for Wyatt was due to the strength Wyatt had just displayed.
With a mid-stage Human Saint Realm cultivation, he displayed Earth Saint Realm combat power!
Wyatt Barnes’ strength left him in shock.
He believed that as long as this Junior House Master continued to grow, his strength would certainly not be beneath that of the House Master.
"It seems the leader was right after all..."
In the distance, two Vice Leaders from Shadow Mountain Black Market, Diffy Fenning and Hawk Chapman Mountain, exchanged a glance, each seeing astonishment in the other’s eyes.
"Congratulations."
A ethereal voice reached Wyatt Barnes’ ear, jolting him into turning his head to look at the source.
With just one glance, he saw the leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, ’Dugu’.
"Thank you!"
Although he didn’t know why his father’s arch-nemesis congratulated him, he politely thanked him.
After all, the other party was courteous to him from the start — ’one doesn’t punch a smiling face’!
"House Master Barnes, please wait another day. Once I handle Emperor End’s aftermath, I will bring the ’Sun Key’ to escort the Junior House Master into the ’Dragon Washing Pool’ with you."
At some point, Emperor Mountain raised his head again to speak to Lanni Barnes.
After speaking, without waiting for Lanni Barnes’ response, he began to busily tend to the matters, accompanied by the high-ranking members of the Dragonsmith Clan.
Emperor End was indeed a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the royalty of the Dragonsmith Clan.
Having been killed, and so close to the Dragonsmith Clan’s base, they naturally needed to handle his aftermath.
"Did you see that? I, this unfit Sect Leader, have avenged you... Emperor End is dead, slain by me!"
As Wyatt Barnes and his companions left and headed back to the small valley they had stayed before, Wyatt paused, looking towards where the Cloud Skies Continent was, and murmured to himself.
His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of Lanni Barnes and the other three.
Lanni Barnes and Withered were better off, understanding what Wyatt meant by those words.
However, Augustine Landon only heard that his Junior Brother Wyatt had a grudge against Emperor End.
As for other matters, he knew nothing, which only made him more curious.
"Junior Brother Wyatt, did you have a grudge against Emperor End?"
Augustine Landon looked at Wyatt Barnes, asking curiously.
Finally, he added, "If you don’t want to talk about it, or it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to, I can understand."
"There’s nothing inconvenient about it."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, then recounted the story of how Emperor End destroyed the sect he had established in the Mortal Continent, the ’Heaven Fortin Sect’.
Thus, Augustine Landon finally understood the hatred Wyatt Barnes felt for Emperor End.
