Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2311: Time Frozen
"The gap is too big!"
Below the tribulation clouds, watching Wyatt Barnes turn into a spark facing the tribulation lightning falling like a cosmic meteor, many people shook their heads silently.
"Even if Wyatt were at his peak, he might not be able to withstand the eightieth strike of the celestial lightning!"
"Yes... The eightieth strike of this heavenly tribulation is too strong! It’s incomparable to the tribulation lightning before it!"
"Such a shame for an outstanding talent to perish like this."
"There’s nothing to pity... He’s not one of our Demon Race! A human’s death is not worth mourning!"
...
At present, virtually everyone there believed Wyatt Barnes was undoubtedly doomed!
As for Keer and Sienna Barnes, mother and daughter, watching Wyatt confront the tribulation lightning crashing down like a cosmic meteor, amidst the flashing lightning, they were so terrified that they closed their eyes, their faces turning ashen white, unwilling to keep watching.
Paisley Flores was watching the figure advancing towards the tribulation lightning with a solemn expression.
Nearby, Alvaro Jones stood tall, showing respect.
"Rest assured... As long as I’m here, no one will be able to harm them!"
At this moment, Angelo Yellow also closed her eyes, unable to bear watching further.
Yet in her heart, she silently made a resolute ’promise’ to Wyatt Barnes!
"Brother Leandro!"
Cody Yellow closed his eyes in immense pain, his fists clenched tightly, oblivious to the blood dripping from his palms where his nails pierced through.
At this moment, he only hated how weak he was, unable to help his friend at all!
"Hmph!"
"Die!"
Sean Cloud, Deputy Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace, and Archer Stone, Palace Master of Giant Spirit Palace, grinned hideously, their eyes glued to the scene before them, seemingly afraid of missing any moment of Wyatt Barnes being struck down by the tribulation lightning.
As for the others from the Three Palaces and Six Courts, most watched the scene with indifference.
In their eyes:
Wyatt Barnes, no matter how commendable his courage, gained their respect but did not warrant their sympathy!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Above the tribulation clouds, the thunder continued.
Below the tribulation clouds, Wyatt Barnes got closer and closer to the eightieth strike of the celestial lightning.
In an instant, he was right in front of the tribulation lightning, merely over a hundred meters away...
A distance of over a hundred meters, for Wyatt and the tribulation lightning, could be traversed in the blink of an eye!
"Come... I, Wyatt Barnes, want to see just how strong this eightieth strike of celestial lightning is!!"
Facing the imminent tribulation lightning, the Saint Origin in Wyatt’s body erupted aggressively, resonating intensely with the land, causing the ’flame’ around him to suddenly surge even higher.
Pale golden flames encircled Wyatt Barnes’ body, making him appear like a ’Fire God’, majestic and imposing!
The intense resonance between his Saint Origin and the land also made Wyatt, whose Saint Origin was unleashed without reserve, seem as if he was one with the land at this moment, giving off an ethereal feeling.
Yet all of this, in the face of the eightieth strike of celestial lightning, seemed minuscule!
What use is being one with the land?
The tribulation lightning represented the power of the heavens...
If the heavens want you dead, you cannot escape death!!
Enduring the tribulation itself is a defiance of the natural order.
Success in enduring the tribulation means successfully defying the heavens!
After the Saint Origin was unleashed through ninety-nine Saint Veins, Wyatt Barnes coldly eyed the tribulation lightning seemingly within reach, his gaze filled with fiery determination, his dragon scales gleaming brilliantly against the pale golden flame.
Suddenly.
"Fight!!"
Almost as Wyatt shouted this, he unleashed the Divine Ability ’Celestial Flight’, creating multiple duplicates akin to cannonballs, charging towards the tribulation lightning.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
...
With Wyatt Barnes’ true body and duplicates charging together, his Thousand Pattern Saint Sword and its copies also surged forward.
Several sword beams led the way, followed closely by Wyatt’s true body and duplicates.
Whether Wyatt’s true body or his duplicates, they all had an identical determined expression, showcasing an unyielding and fearless stance!
"This Wyatt Barnes is about to be struck down!"
At the moment when this thought crossed almost everyone’s minds.
Wyatt’s true body and duplicates, in pursuit of the Thousand Pattern Saint Sword’s true body and its duplicates, had already covered half the distance, now merely dozens of meters from the eightieth strike of celestial lightning!
Just as they were about to collide...
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Boom!!
A loud explosion sounded from behind the tribulation clouds in the sky.
At this moment, under the shocked gaze of the Clan Chief and his disciple from the Human Demon Clan above the Tribulation Clouds:
The ’flying beast’ completely formed from golden flames darting through the five-colored auspicious clouds suddenly emitted a bizarre cry, causing the surrounding void to abruptly explode.
The void trembled, rippling like waves, nearly collapsing!
At the same time, the Clan Chief of the Human Demon Clan noticed the flying beast vanish into thin air before his eyes.
"So fast!"
Naturally, the Clan Chief of the Human Demon Clan didn’t believe the flying beast had truly disappeared but recognized it had exploded into a speed that defied even his perception in that instant.
Even the elderly gray-robed mentor of the Clan Chief could only vaguely perceive the flying beast transforming into a fleeting shadow, darting through the Tribulation Clouds and charging downward!
"That speed..."
The elderly gray-robed man’s pupils contracted suddenly, his face seizing with an expression of terror as if witnessing something ghostly.
It was the first time such an exaggerated expression had crossed his face since appearing.
And all of this stemmed from that ’flying beast’ completely formed from golden flames!
Below the Tribulation Clouds.
As if time froze at this moment.
Whoosh!!
The flying beast, made entirely of golden flames, pierced through the void as it fell, finally crashing into Wyatt Barnes’ true form, his clone, and Wyatt Barnes’ original and clone Saint Origin Blade.
"What’s happening?"
And at that instant, Wyatt Barnes only felt an immensely terrifying power envelop his true form and clone, and he promptly lost control over his body.
In full view of everyone.
Wyatt Barnes’ true form, clone, as well as his original and clone Saint Origin Blade, were all engulfed by a soaring gold flame, shaped completely like a flying beast.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
...
To everyone’s eyes, the flying beast which seemed to appear from nowhere engulfing Wyatt Barnes collided with the eightieth bolt of Tribulation Lightning from the Ascendancy Tribulation, emitting blinding flashes.
These flashes intermingled gold and white, with traces of purple intertwined.
Almost in the moment the onlookers’ eyes reacted.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Deafening explosions echoed, mushroom clouds appeared out of thin air, releasing extremely terrifying shockwaves which seemed to momentarily dip the void where they emerged.
The shockwaves swept in all directions, and despite the spectators having prepared, many cultivators with weaker skills were blasted away!
After the shockwave’s havoc, turbulent gusts followed, causing the robes of the onlookers to flap noisily.
Most people, faced with such abrupt winds, couldn’t help but squint their eyes.
"What’s happening?"
"Not sure... it seemed like Wyatt Barnes unleashed some incredible divine ability the instant he collided with the Tribulation Lightning, transforming himself and all his prior methods into a gigantic flying beast!"
"That flying beast looked just like the one shooting skyward into the Tribulation Clouds earlier..."
"Could the flying beast that soared upward earlier also be related to Wyatt Barnes?"
...
Now at this moment, while those present were shocked by the commotion, they couldn’t help but discuss fervently.
Throughout their discussions, talk never drifted far from Wyatt Barnes and the ’flying beast’ formed entirely of golden flames.
"This commotion... only two equally matched forces could create such a scene!"
An elder from Azure Mist Court murmured.
His voice, though not loud, was still heard by many nearby due to the short-lived silence.
Instantly, these people sneered involuntarily: "Equally matched? You must be dreaming, right? That Wyatt Barnes, already at the end of his strength, display any power matching the eightieth Tribulation Lightning?!"
"Exactly! Even with his final extraordinary divine ability, in his current state, he couldn’t possibly withstand the eightieth Tribulation Lightning!"
"From that last shockwave... Wyatt Barnes surely must have been obliterated!"
"Divine Sense can’t discern over there now... but once the wild power there dissipates, we should be able to see what happened. Still, I’d bet that Wyatt Barnes is surely dead!"
...
As the present individuals discussed fervidly, their gaze fell back on the point of collision between Wyatt Barnes and the Tribulation Lightning.
Currently, the mixed gold, white, purple energies ran rampant there, the void throbbed, it not only obstructed the view of those present, but also blocked their attempts to investigate further with their Divine Sense.
"Brother Leandro..."
At some point, Keer had already opened her eyes, watching the chaotic mix of energies, her heart trembled violently, and her expression grew anxious.
"Daddy!"
Sienna Barnes similarly opened her eyes, her mood mirroring her mother’s.
"That flying beast earlier..."
The flying beast which appeared seemed to come from nowhere, Keer and Sienna hadn’t seen it with their eyes closed, but Paisley Flores and Alvaro Jones had clearly witnessed it...
That flying beast was precisely the one protecting Wyatt Barnes as he cultivated in seclusion earlier!
