Chapter 2660: Strange Communication
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
In the blink of an eye, the seven-colored sword light, carrying Wyatt Barnes swiftly through the air, first met a pile of stone blocks crashing towards them like space meteorites, colliding with a tremendous impact as if shaking the heavens and earth.
Boom!!
Rumble!!
...
Waves of rolling air, accompanied by powerful shock waves, swept out, battering the cave surroundings, making the entire cave rock and shake, as if a violent earthquake had occurred.
Enveloped within the seven-colored sword light, Wyatt Barnes was also shocked at this moment, his body trembling fiercely, feeling his internal organs churn, followed by a sickly sweetness rising from the depths of his throat.
"Wow—"
His body shook a few more times, and Wyatt Barnes could no longer suppress it, opening his mouth to vomit a large mouthful of congested blood.
Blood sprayed into the sky, glaring and dazzling!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
Just as Wyatt Barnes felt his blood and energy surge inside, ready to vomit another mouthful of congested blood, the power of the sandstorm transformed by flying sand in the sky arrived, merging with the force of the stones, roaring towards him once again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Once again, bursts of earth-shaking noises rang out.
This time, the seven-colored sword array surrounding Wyatt Barnes was directly dimmed by the impact, and with the continuous assault of the two forces combined, the sword array’s light dimmed further.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
As the sword array dimmed, Wyatt Barnes’s body also suffered repeated impacts, as if at this moment, he had become a drum being beaten incessantly.
"Wow—"
"Pfft—"
...
One mouthful of congested blood after another spurted from Wyatt Barnes’s mouth as if for free, while the Immortal Origin force within him, supporting the seven-colored sword array, was consumed at an extremely rapid pace.
However, although the Immortal Origin force was rapidly consumed, the two forces combined against him were even stronger, constantly breaking down Wyatt Barnes’s defenses, forcing him into a desperate situation.
From the looks of it, it won’t be long before that force thoroughly breaks down Wyatt Barnes’s seven-colored sword array, unleashing its power on him.
By then, Wyatt Barnes would surely die!
After all, Wyatt Barnes was already severely injured now, his wounds worsening, and later, his consciousness became increasingly blurred, sustained only by his iron will, numbly urging the diminishing Immortal Origin force within.
Although Wyatt Barnes constantly used the auxiliary Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ to rapidly absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, converting it into Immortal Origin force, he couldn’t withstand the lightning-fast consumption of Immortal Origin force, unable to keep up.
"Is it possible... that I, Wyatt Barnes, will meet my end here today?"
At that moment, Wyatt Barnes felt despair arise, accompanied by thoughts of hopelessness.
Even when he gave his all, even using the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven-colored Exquisite Sword,’ he couldn’t withstand the combined forces attacking him.
The power of these combined forces had already exceeded his capacity to endure.
"If I had known, I wouldn’t have been so reckless... According to City Lord Willow, he initially approached gradually in this cave, planning to slowly collect that ’Immortal Fire’."
"And during that process, the attacks he suffered became increasingly severe... In the end, feeling powerless, he chose to abandon his efforts voluntarily."
Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes’s expression turned bitter.
Manuel Willow had clearly mentioned this to him, yet he didn’t pay attention, thinking he could fully exert his strength, employing all his means to withstand the force guarding the ’Immortal Fire’ and seize it immediately.
And now, he realized he had been reckless.
The price of recklessness was teetering on the edge of life and death, drawing closer to demise...
"What on earth is this ’Immortal Fire’? If it’s just a lower-grade Immortal Fire, no matter how rare, precious, or unique, with my current strength, seizing it should be a simple task!"
At this point, Wyatt Barnes also realized the complexity of that gray flame.
Even confirming:
That gray flame couldn’t possibly be a ’lower-grade Immortal Fire’!
The mere power guarding a lower-grade Immortal Fire shouldn’t be able to force him to such a situation...
"Is it possible... that I, Wyatt Barnes, will pay the price for my recklessness today, dying here?"
With his last trace of Immortal Origin force exhausted, feeling the overwhelming force approaching, as if it could destroy the heavens and earth, Wyatt Barnes’s heart was filled with endless despair and regret.
Regret for being too reckless!
If Heaven granted him another chance to start over, he would certainly be cautious like Manuel Willow back then.
"Wyatt Barnes, even though your current strength is not inferior to an average Daai Law Golden Immortal... but, I still hope that when you reach that place, you act according to your abilities. If you can’t manage, you should wait until your strength further improves before going to retrieve that ’Immortal Fire.’"
He still remembered, before he left Bloodshade City this time, Manuel Willow had specially advised him with these words.
However, he didn’t take it to heart at all at the time.
He merely thought that having grasped the power comparable to a Daai Law Golden Immortal, and being able to even defeat Tony Campbell, the first sacrificial officer of the County Governor’s Mansion of Nine Nether County, taking the Immortal Fire would surely be as easy as pie.
Little did he expect, at the critical moment, the ship would capsize in the gutter!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Along with the series of rumbling sounds, the force of the flying sand and rolling stones enveloped Wyatt Barnes completely, as if a mountain flood breaking its dikes, leaving him no time to think about anything else before he lost consciousness.
At the moment Wyatt lost consciousness, the force of the flying sand and rolling stones destroyed his robes, landing on his bare body, seemingly intent on blasting him to pieces!
And just at this critical juncture.
Swish!
As a layer of mystical light arose from Wyatt Barnes’s body, the force of the flying sand and rolling stones seemed to encounter an indestructible barrier, gradually being dispersed.
Eventually, it dissipated completely.
Unconscious and bare, Wyatt Barnes should have fallen.
Yet, at this moment, wrapped in a layer of mysterious mystical light, he stood there bizarrely with closed eyes, and his body slightly turned, facing the gray flame floating in the center of the cave’s void.
Whoosh!
Along with the gentle sound of the wind, an extremely fragmented iron piece appeared above the head of the unconscious yet mysteriously supported Wyatt Barnes.
The fragmented iron piece shimmered with a layer of mystical light, identical to the mystical light rising from Wyatt Barnes’s body.
It was evident that Wyatt’s current state was unquestionably connected to this fragmented iron piece.
If Wyatt were conscious, witnessing this scene, he would undoubtedly be shocked...
This fragmented iron piece, isn’t it the one that had been guarding his soul ever since he ascended to Spiritual Heaven?
The fragmented iron piece, brought from the secular plane, had a mysterious origin and was formed through the fusion of two things...
One of which was the Jade Slip given to him by Ernest Summer, Keer’s third uncle from Divine Ruin Lands;
The other was the strange stone that the Jade Slip led him to near his hometown ’Gentle Breeze Town’ on Cloud Skies Continent.
"Chaos Divine Fire... to think I would meet you here, my old friend..."
A resonant and robust voice suddenly echoed in the cave, seemingly coming from all directions, akin to thunder.
When this voice sounded, the mystical light on the fragmented iron piece above unconscious Wyatt Barnes’s head burst forth more brightly.
Only when the resonant and robust voice ceased did the mystical light return to calm.
"Tai Xuan Divine Metal."
Accompanied by an ancient and aged voice, the gray flame hovering in the center of the cave’s void surged abruptly, the gray firelight illuminating the whole cave, casting the standing Wyatt’s body’s shadow into a play of appearing and disappearing.
Wyatt was still in a state of unconsciousness.
Otherwise, he would have been startled.
Simply because, the two voices suddenly echoing in the cave were surprisingly from the fragmented iron piece and the ball of gray flame.
The two were unmistakably communicating verbally.
"And it is the second form of ’Tai Xuan Divine Metal’... this young man, is he the ’host’ you chose?"
The gray flame, referred to as ’Chaos Divine Fire’ by the fragmented iron piece, erupted with flame between its resurgence, while the ancient and aged voice that had sounded earlier resounded once again, its voice filling the entire cave.
"Indeed."
The fragmented iron piece, known as ’Tai Xuan Divine Metal,’ reveled in its brilliance, and the resonant and robust voice from before sounded once more.
"If it weren’t for the fact that both you and I have entered the second form, neither of us would be able to awaken consciousness in such a situation and communicate... Well? Are you interested in joining me in serving one master?"
Tai Xuan Divine Metal spoke again, his tone carrying a seductive intent.
He didn’t wait for Chaos Divine Fire to respond and continued, "If I’m not mistaken, before you transformed into the second form, you should have found a ’host’... However, he couldn’t withstand your second form, and his body was incinerated by you, leaving nothing behind!"
"Indeed."
Chaos Divine Fire sighed, "The second form of mine cannot be wielded by an ordinary immortal body... even his body is insufficient."
"His current body is not enough to wield your second form... But, don’t forget, he has me."
Tai Xuan Divine Metal said.
"My consciousness cannot stay awake for long... Make a decision quickly. Should you choose to serve alongside me, I will use my body to embrace you, restrict you, so that you won’t burn his body."
Tai Xuan Divine Metal continued, his speech carrying a sense of urgency.
It seemed as though his consciousness could vanish at any moment.
