Chapter 1774: Chapter 1774: Palace and Marshland
At the entrance of the Sacred Martial Realm, three more people appeared.
As soon as the three appeared, they attracted the attention of those present. The people from Mysterious Void House, who were originally sitting quietly, opened their eyes and unsurprisingly focused their gaze on the three.
"Why is it you three?"
Seeing the three who emerged, Atlas Dunn’s face changed because these three were from his Dunn Family lineage.
It’s important to know that from his Dunn Family lineage, including his son ’Tommy Dunn’, only five had entered in total.
And now, in just a month’s time, four had been eliminated!
Seeing Atlas Dunn’s change in expression, the three disciples of Mysterious Void House from the Dunn Family lineage all wore bitter expressions. Inwardly, however, they cursed, "If it weren’t for your son offending someone, we wouldn’t have been kicked out by that person."
No wonder they had such thoughts.
Although they were disciples of Mysterious Void House from the Dunn Family lineage, they had no interaction with Wyatt Barnes in the past, let alone offended him.
Wyatt Barnes killed their avatars and kicked them out of the Sacred Martial Realm simply because of their identities. Besides being disciples of Mysterious Void House, they were also from the Dunn Family lineage.
"Our three avatars were killed by Wyatt Barnes."
Facing the angry expression of Atlas Dunn, in the end, one Mysterious Void House disciple from the Dunn Family lineage mustered the courage to speak, "He’s too strong. We had no ability to fight back in front of him."
Wyatt Barnes!
It’s Wyatt again!
Hearing this from the Mysterious Void House disciple of the Dunn Family lineage, most people present cast their eyes on Atlas Dunn, with a hint of pity among them.
"It’s him again!"
Tommy Dunn roared with a loss of composure, eyes filled with viciousness and intent to kill.
"Palace Master, I was killed by them and eliminated."
At the same time, next to the Earth Palace Master, a young man said in a low voice to the Earth Palace Master, with a few hints of glee in his eyes as he spoke.
This young man was the Mysterious Void House disciple who was with ’Edward Chase’ earlier, and the two Divine Ability relics that Edward Chase knew of were discovered by him.
Finding two Divine Ability relics, yet before he had time to explore, he was eliminated. One could only imagine how frustrated he was.
And now, seeing that he was just eliminated, and the three Mysterious Void House disciples from the Dunn Family lineage who eliminated him were also eliminated, he suddenly felt elated, all frustration swept away.
Earth Palace Master nodded, "It’s a pity those two Divine Ability relics you found, making it convenient for that young lad from Heavenly Palace... You just got out not long ago, and they followed soon after. It seems Wyatt helped that Heavenly Palace kid."
"It must be."
The young man nodded, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, while a hint of envy flickered in his eyes, yet without jealousy.
Because he was very good friends with that Heavenly Palace disciple ’Edward Chase’, they knew each other even before entering Mysterious Void House. Knowing Edward Chase was safe, he felt relieved.
"Damn it! Those Divine Ability relics will surely become that Wyatt Barnes’s possession again."
Atlas Dunn felt full of rage with nowhere to vent it, one could imagine that if Wyatt Barnes were in front of him, he would undoubtedly strike him down without hesitation.
"Sigh... It seems some people are destined to have no fate with the two Divine Ability relics I discovered."
While the Dunn father and son were almost infuriated to death, the young man beside the Earth Palace Master looked at the three Dunn Family lineage disciples who just came out and sighed with feigned pity.
"What did you say?!"
"Two Divine Ability relics?"
"You... discovered two Divine Ability relics?"
Immediately, the three Dunn Family lineage disciples widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at the young man, the person they had killed just recently, a disciple from the Earth Palace whom they had eliminated.
"I’m already out. What’s the point of lying to you? I estimate Senior Brother Wyatt and Edward Chase are probably on their way to those two Divine Ability relics now."
The Earth Palace disciple spoke plainly, with words full of hidden glee.
"This..."
The three Dunn Family lineage disciples were dumbfounded, two Divine Ability relics slipped away right under their noses?
"Two Divine Ability relics!"
For a moment, many eyes returned to Atlas Dunn, and he had already started trembling with anger when the Earth Palace disciple finished speaking.
"How is that possible?! What’s so special about that Wyatt Barnes, why is his luck so good?"
Tommy Dunn’s eyes turned red with discontentment all over his face.
"Wyatt Barnes’s luck truly is good."
Palace Master of the Yellow Palace, ’Lachlan Jimenez’, couldn’t help but sigh.
"Indeed."
Many people agreed.
"Haha... Junior Brother Wyatt is indeed surprising."
Augustine Landon laughed as well.
"That Wyatt Barnes, his luck is quite good... but is he the Junior House Master?"
Withered stood aside, seemingly motionless, yet internally far from calm.
At the same time, within the sacred martial realm, Wyatt Barnes looked at Edward Chase and said, "According to what you said, the first level test of those two divine relic sites is about the same in difficulty... I guess the divine abilities recorded there are similarly comparable. Since you provided the clues to those two divine relic sites, you should pick one first."
Since they’re nearly the same, Wyatt didn’t worry too much about it.
"I choose the palace one... is that okay?"
Edward glanced at Wyatt, asking somewhat cautiously, his gaze revealing a slight nervousness.
After deeply observing Edward for a moment, amidst his anxious waiting, Wyatt finally nodded, "That’s fine."
The two divine relic sites Edward mentioned, although the first level test was similar in difficulty, were located in two completely opposite environments.
One divine relic site was inside a splendid palace, while Edward and his companions were halted by the first level test outside the palace.
The other divine relic site was situated within an eerie and dark marshland, entirely opposite in nature.
Though the difficulty of the first level test at both locations was similar, any reasonable person would first choose the former. After all, a palace appears grand and prestigious, and the divine abilities recorded inside are certainly not simple.
If Wyatt had to choose first, he would instinctively opt for the former as well.
However, since Edward made his choice, Wyatt didn’t say much more, knowing that both divine relic sites were thanks to Edward’s clues.
Without Edward, Wyatt might have had to search for some time to find the next divine relic site.
"Let’s go to the divine relic site you chose first... after you’ve comprehended the divine ability recorded there, lead me to the next site. I’ll venture into the next divine relic site alone. Meanwhile, you can search for other divine relic sites, which will keep you from wasting your time."
Wyatt said to Edward.
"Wyatt Senior Brother, do you trust me this much?"
Edward was surprised by Wyatt’s decision, initially thinking Wyatt would first go to the marsh to comprehend his own divine relic, not expecting him to help Edward acquire the divine relic first.
"We’re all Heavenly Palace disciples, trust isn’t really a question here."
Wyatt spoke casually, but in Edward’s ears, it made him feel somewhat ashamed because he had a little hidden agenda, wanting to choose the palace-hidden relic first.
"Wyatt Senior Brother, should we swap? Although the divine relic hidden in the palace is similar to the one in the marsh, I think it seems better..."
Taking a deep breath, Edward made a decision.
"The fact that you can say this shows your sincerity. But since the decision is made, there’s no need to swap back and forth... the divine relic in the palace remains yours."
Wyatt said.
"Lead the way."
After having Edward lead the way, Wyatt followed closely behind, heading straight for the first divine relic site.
After a day and night had passed, Wyatt followed Edward into a vast grassland, halting mid-air above a giant lake.
"Is the entrance beneath the lake?"
Wyatt raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
"Mm."
Edward nodded, then shot forward, diving into the lake like a nimble fish.
Wyatt followed in.
At their level of cultivation, entering the lake felt like walking on land; with True Origin enveloping their bodies, they could completely keep the water at bay.
Approaching the lake bottom, Wyatt sensed the wave of formations.
Delving deeper, Wyatt found Edward disappearing before his eyes and continued to descend further, his vision turned to darkness.
When his sight returned to brightness, Wyatt realized he had arrived at another place.
This place was imposing beyond measure, with a palace sprawled ahead like a giant beast.
Everything here aligned perfectly with how Edward had described earlier.
"Wyatt Senior Brother, guarding this palace’s entrance are five fierce flying beasts, all of them at the pinnacle of Little Saint Realm."
At this moment, Edward’s reminder reached Wyatt’s ear, "These five flying fierce beasts are distinct from one another, with different tactics... When we tried to break through, we nearly failed here. Based on our assessment at the time, at least three at the pinnacle of Middle Saint Realm would be needed to defeat them and enter the palace."
"But, if there’s someone above Middle Saint Realm, they can eliminate them by themselves."
Edward continued, and at this point, looked at Wyatt with eyes full of fervor.
Wyatt was someone above Middle Saint Realm!
And not just any ordinary Middle Saint Realm expert!
"Mm."
Wyatt nodded, then moved like lightning, shooting straight towards the palace entrance.
At this moment, the palace doors were tightly shut.
Just as Wyatt was halfway there, piercing shrieks suddenly echoed from afar.
Instantly, five huge figures seemed to appear out of thin air above the palace ahead.
