Chapter 1743: Chapter 1743: True Origin Beast Confronts True Origin Domain
"Naturally. If he could confirm that Wyatt Barnes has already broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, how would he dare to challenge Wyatt!"
"If Wyatt truly has broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, unless the two brothers join forces, they couldn’t possibly be a match for Wyatt."
"Indeed. Even if Wyatt has broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, it would have only been a short while since his breakthrough... With a martial artist at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm like that, the Cox brothers can certainly win by joining forces."
"The problem is... Wyatt may not have broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, so he’s in danger."
"Two months ago, before Wyatt entered the spirit pool, he could fight Lumi Clifford to a draw... Now, after the baptism of the spirit pool, even if he hasn’t broken through, his cultivation must have improved significantly. In a battle with Waylen Cox, there’s a chance he could hold his own, or even win!"
...
A group of Mysterious Void Mansion disciples were discussing, all anticipation for the coming battle before them.
All along, they seemed not at all worried that Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t accept the challenge.
"Wyatt, are you afraid to fight?"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes not reacting after his challenge, Waylen Cox frowned and mocked.
"Is there a need to accept the challenge? You can make your move directly."
Facing Waylen’s provocation, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wyatt Barnes glanced at Waylen lightly and said calmly.
His words were extremely relaxed, as if he didn’t consider Waylen at all.
In fact, he truly didn’t regard Waylen as a threat.
What is there to fear about a martial artist at the late stage of the Middle Saint Realm?
"Wyatt seems very confident..."
At this moment, many noticed Wyatt Barnes’s confidence.
"Could it be that Wyatt has really broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm?"
"It’s possible."
"Whether he’s broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm or not, once he makes a move, it will naturally be apparent."
...
More and more people were eager to see Wyatt Barnes exhibit the cultivation of a ’Middle Saint Realm Peak.’ If Wyatt Barnes truly was at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, his confidence would be understandable.
"Hmm?"
Cox Mountain frowned, his heart thumping, "This Wyatt Barnes, so confident... could it be he really broke through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm?"
Actually, it wasn’t just Cox Mountain who was uncertain, even Waylen Cox was a bit hesitant in his heart.
Wyatt Barnes’s confidence made him unclear if Wyatt was bluffing or truly capable.
However, given the current situation, he had no option but to proceed.
After all, he was the one who initiated the challenge. If he backed down now, he would surely become the laughingstock of the Mysterious Void Mansion and would never lift his head there again.
"Wyatt, I have to say, you are really arrogant!"
Waylen Cox took a deep breath, looking grimly at Wyatt Barnes, his voice chilling, "I want to see why you are so confident!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Wyatt Barnes’s response, the True Origin that Waylen had been nurturing surged up instantly.
In an instant, within a hundred meters centered around Waylen Cox, the void trembled, and the ground began to shake, causing the onlookers to retreat, voluntarily making way for a large open space.
"A mere late stage of the Middle Saint Realm, yet dared to challenge Wyatt... this Waylen Cox is truly overestimating himself!"
Retreating to a distance, Ebba King watched Waylen Cox make his move and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a mocking smile.
She knew Wyatt’s strength all too well. Even if she used her full strength, she couldn’t break through the defensive tactics Wyatt displayed. Thus, she deduced that Wyatt very likely had already broken through to the ’Middle Saint Realm Peak.’
Therefore, regarding the outcome of the battle before her, she felt there was no suspense.
"Water-attribute True Origin?"
When Waylen Cox condensed a domain using True Origin, Wyatt Barnes clearly felt the ’water’ aura, becoming more intense, "This domain also seems to be composed of water... however, the water within the domain is not ordinary, possessing very strong offensive capabilities."
Just as Wyatt Barnes thought this, he noticed a vast stream of water suddenly appear within Waylen’s domain. Before he could react, the vast stream transformed into a giant Water Dragon, rushing towards him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
The Water Dragon tore through the air, causing the void to tremble, clawing its way towards Wyatt Barnes as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
"Dragon?"
Upon seeing Waylen Cox’s domain taking the form of a Water Dragon, Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows.
In the next moment, the Solar True Origin within Wyatt Barnes began to stir, sweeping through the ninety-nine Saint Veins, and in the blink of an eye, it covered his body, making him appear as if he was enveloped in a layer of golden light.
Instantly, Wyatt Barnes’s Solar True Origin left his body and soared into the sky, seemingly transforming into a blazing sun, hovering before everyone’s eyes, dazzling beyond measure.
The moment the blazing sun appeared, it captured everyone’s attention.
"What kind of True Origin is this?"
Many were dumbfounded, seeing such an extravagant True Origin for the first time.
"This True Origin..."
In the crowd, Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker, standing side by side, furrowed their brows. They exchanged a knowing glance, then communicated via sound transmission, "This True Origin seems quite similar to that of ’Eden Lee,’ who appeared in the Sky-scraping Mansion region... According to my uncle, when Eden Lee’s True Origin appeared, it was like a blazing sun, emitting dazzling golden light!"
"Could it be that Wyatt Barnes really knows Eden Lee and has some connection with him?"
At this time, both Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker couldn’t help but recall... When they entered the Heavenly Palace, Wyatt Barnes had mentioned that he knew Eden Lee and was friends with him.
However, most people thought Wyatt Barnes was bragging at the time.
But now, seeing Wyatt Barnes’s True Origin, they felt that things might not be as they thought. Perhaps Wyatt Barnes wasn’t bragging; he indeed knew Eden Lee and had a significant relationship with him.
Currently, Wyatt Barnes certainly didn’t know that his True Origin had already caught Enoch Mullins’s and Isaias Tasker’s attention.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
Because he had long known that his True Origin would eventually be exposed; it didn’t matter if it was sooner or later, as no one would believe he was the Eden Lee who appeared in the Sky-scraping Mansion region.
He was quite confident in his disguise techniques.
Roar!!
Under everyone’s gaze, the Water Dragon formed by Waylen Cox’s domain power seemed to let out a roar. Moments later, it, carrying a thunderous momentum, approached Wyatt Barnes aggressively.
Swoosh!
At the same time, they saw that the ’blazing sun’ hanging above Wyatt Barnes suddenly expanded as if it exploded, making everyone feel a piercing light. Many couldn’t help but squint their eyes.
In an instant, a golden Divine Dragon, surrounded by blood-colored energy, appeared above Wyatt Barnes.
Roar!!
The moment the golden Divine Dragon appeared, it also let out a roar. Then, it moved its massive, long body towards the Water Dragon.
In terms of size, the golden Divine Dragon was less than half the size of the Water Dragon.
However, in terms of momentum, the golden Divine Dragon was not inferior to the Water Dragon.
"True Origin Condensing Beast?"
Seeing this scene, many couldn’t help but be astonished, as they could tell that Wyatt Barnes was using the technique of ’True Origin Condensing Beast.’
This technique, compared to ’True Origin Condensing Domain,’ was a tier lower.
"Why would Wyatt Barnes use True Origin Condensing Beast in such a situation... doesn’t he know that it puts him at a disadvantage?"
Many exchanged glances, unable to comprehend why Wyatt Barnes did this.
"This guy, instead of using True Origin Condensing Domain, uses True Origin Condensing Beast... Waylen Cox isn’t a Middle Saint Realm mid-stage martial artist who can be easily trampled! Middle Saint Realm late-stage martial artists might not be his match, but undermining this way will surely cost him dearly."
In the distance, Ebba King’s eyebrows furrowed as she felt Wyatt Barnes was overestimating himself.
"Bringing about his own doom!"
Seeing this scene, Waylen Cox sneered while continuing to channel his True Origin incessantly into the Water Dragon through his domain.
In an instant, the Water Dragon expanded further, and as it flew out, it seemed like a black cloud was pressing down, covering daylight wherever it passed, making the entire world appear dim.
Boom!!
Accompanied by a thunderous sound, the void trembled, and heaven and earth seemed on the verge of shattering. It was the golden Divine Dragon, enveloped in blood-red energy, colliding with the Water Dragon, like two meteors crashing violently from the sky.
The former was Wyatt Barnes’s technique of ’True Origin Condensing Beast.’
The latter was Waylen Cox’s technique of ’True Origin Condensing Domain.’
The latter was a tier higher than the former.
"Wyatt Barnes is overconfident."
"Indeed. Even if he is truly a Middle Saint Realm peak martial artist, his True Energy Condensing Beast might only barely contend with Waylen Cox’s True Energy Condensing Domain... If he’s not a Middle Saint Realm peak martial artist, he might suffer a big loss, possibly ending up in a passive situation."
"I really don’t understand what he’s thinking."
...
Most of the onlookers couldn’t understand what Wyatt Barnes was thinking.
"We’ll soon know if Wyatt Barnes has already broken through to the ’Middle Saint Realm peak.’"
However, for most people, the result of the clash between the two dragons would reveal Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation level to them.
Finally, as the waves of energy and gusts of wind from the clash gradually subsided, everyone saw that both the golden Divine Dragon and the Water Dragon had disappeared. Meanwhile, Wyatt and Waylen Cox stood in their original spots, unscathed.
It was evident that the powers clashing just now were evenly matched.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
...
Upon seeing this result, the scene was initially silent, then sounds of many people sucking in a cold breath arose.
"Wyatt Barnes really broke through to the ’Middle Saint Realm peak’!"
The result could only mean one thing:
Wyatt Barnes is already a Middle Saint Realm peak martial artist!
Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have used True Energy Condensing Beast to fight to a draw with Waylen Cox, who used True Energy Condensing Domain technique.
