Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2130: Void Rift

In the northern part of Sin City, amidst a range of towering mountains, a massive crowd had gathered.

This group of people was now surrounding a valley.

To be precise, they were surrounding a ’void’ above the valley.

Within the void, a ’rift’ had apparently appeared, hideous and narrow, like a ’giant gate’ opening out of nowhere in the void.

Yet, if one tried to peer through the ’rift’ to see inside, nothing could be seen.

"Is it really the ’treasure vault’ left by a Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert? Why do I feel a bit uneasy looking at it..."

Within the grand assembly of people, an inconspicuous middle-aged man gazed at the terrifying rift in the sky ahead, his voice trembling slightly.

"I feel the same... This rift, hovering in the void, is like a giant beast’s ’bloodthirsty maw’, as if waiting for someone to voluntarily walk in to be devoured!"

Another person said with a look of apprehension.

"Have previous ’treasure vaults’ left by Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation experts had such ’entrances’?"

Many murmured.

"A hundred years ago, I had the fortune to enter a ’treasure vault’ left by a Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert, and I acquired some good things from it... However, that particular vault was hidden underground. While it had many formations inside, its ’entrance’ was quite normal, nowhere near as strange as this void rift."

An elderly man, appearing very old, spoke with a tone filled with apprehension towards the mysterious void rift before them.

"Are you all just being overly paranoid?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man frowned and said, "Didn’t you see that the top members of the Dominic Alliance, the Thousand-Autumn Alliance, and the Eternal Covenant all went in? If there was danger beyond this void rift, do you think they would have entered?"

His words drew quite a bit of agreement, "Yeah. The leaders of the three strongest loose cultivator alliances in Sin City and their top members all went in... What are we afraid of?"

"Since they’ve gone in, it probably means there’s no danger inside, right?"

"I think so too."

...

More and more people chimed in, yet not a single person took the lead to venture in.

After all, the void rift before them was only suspected to be the ’entrance’ to a treasure vault left by a Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert.

No one dared to confirm it for sure.

The unknown is always the most terrifying.

Everyone understands this truth.

For this reason, although a large crowd had gathered here, no one entered.

The allure of the ’treasures’ inside a treasure vault left by a Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert was undeniable, but compared to one’s life, the latter was undoubtedly far more important.

Not obtaining treasures was insignificant.

But losing one’s life would mean losing everything!

"Hey! Since you said we are just being paranoid... Why don’t you go in and try? As long as you go in, I’ll follow you. How about it?"

Suddenly, a young man stepped forward, looking at the middle-aged man who had previously said everyone was being paranoid, and spoke.

His words immediately turned everyone’s gaze towards the middle-aged man, "That’s right! Since you said we are just being paranoid... Why don’t you take the lead and try!"

"Go on! What’s the hesitation? Didn’t you say there’s no danger inside?"

"Exactly! Didn’t you say the top members of the three strongest loose cultivator alliances in Sin City all went in, so there’s no danger inside? Why haven’t you gone in yet?"

"Could it be you’re afraid?"

"If you’re afraid, how dare you say that? Aren’t you slapping your own face?"

...

Everyone’s words were directed at the middle-aged man who had spoken flamboyantly earlier.

Facing this mass ’attack’, the middle-aged man’s face turned various shades of green and white. His earlier words were intentionally said to encourage others to venture in first.

So far, only the top members of the three dominant loose cultivator alliances in Sin City had crossed the void rift and entered the suspected ’treasure vault’ left by a Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert.

Other loose cultivator alliance members, along with many unaffiliated loose cultivators, had yet to venture in.

In the end, even when faced with ridicule, the middle-aged man did not take the first step into the mysterious void rift before them.

Though being mocked felt unpleasant, when compared to one’s own life, it was trivial.

"Black-robed figure!!"

Suddenly, a cry rang out, startling the crowd around the void rift.

Instantly, everyone’s attention shifted from ridiculing the middle-aged man to following the gaze of the exclaimer, looking towards the distant sky.

There, a figure was descending through the clouds, stepping down from the void.

This person was shrouded in a loose, hooded black robe, completely hidden from view, even their face obscured.

"I wonder... is he really the ’Black Robe Man’?"

Many people voiced their doubts.

"If he is truly the ’Black Robe Man’... I also wonder, does he dare to enter the Void Rift?"

Some people said.

The Black Robe Man who appeared outside the Void Rift was naturally ’Wyatt Barnes’.

Wyatt Barnes had been here for some time and had overheard the discussions of a group of people, learning that the high-ranking members of the Seven Kills Alliance, Thousand Autumns Alliance, and Eternal Alliance had already gone through the Void Rift, entering what was suspected to be the ’Treasure Vault’ left by a Transcended Saint Ninth Transformation expert.

And now, a group of people stranded here hesitated to enter because they were unsure whether the Void Rift was an ’entrance’ to the Treasure Vault left by the Transcended Saint Ninth Transformation expert.

"So afraid of death? Then why come here at all?"

In response, Wyatt Barnes was a bit speechless.

Before making his presence known, Wyatt Barnes had asked Elder Fire for assistance.

"This is a spatial rift. Passing through it should lead to a ’False Dimensional Plane’."

This was Elder Fire’s initial response to him.

Upon hearing this response, Wyatt Barnes was naturally stunned for a moment and immediately asked Elder Fire another question, "Elder Fire, I remember you saying... that the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land is also a ’False Dimensional Plane’?"

"Yes."

In response to this question, Elder Fire quickly replied, "The ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land is a naturally formed ’False Dimensional Plane’... whereas the ’False Dimensional Plane’ behind this spatial rift is an artificially created ’Spatial Plane’."

"In the secular plane, anyone who successfully transcends a tribulation will undergo a transformation of their internal power. While it does not fully transform into ’Immortal Origin’, it can still easily create an independent ’Spatial Plane’ within the secular plane, which is an artificially created ’False Dimensional Plane’."

"So, the ’False Dimensional Plane’ behind this spatial rift was indeed left by a Transcended Saint Ninth Transformation expert of this secular plane, specifically one who successfully transcended the tribulation!"

"As for whether the ’False Dimensional Plane’ behind it is his ’Treasure Vault’, that is not certain."

"Of course, although it is uncertain, there is still a high possibility that the ’False Dimensional Plane’ behind it is his ’Treasure Vault’... Even for someone about to ascend to the Heavenly Planes, creating a ’False Dimensional Plane’ requires considerable effort."

"Generally speaking, such a place would contain that person’s ’legacy’ and some items considered ’treasures’ in the secular plane."

This was Elder Fire’s original statement.

It was after hearing Elder Fire’s words that Wyatt Barnes passed through the fog, stepping into the air, preparing to enter the sinister Void Rift, which was Elder Fire’s so-called ’spatial rift’.

From Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt Barnes also learned a very important piece of information:

The expert who left such a ’False Dimensional Plane’ was not just any Transcended Saint Ninth Transformation expert, but one who successfully transcended the tribulation!

Bear in mind, a Transcended Saint Ninth Transformation expert who hasn’t transcended the tribulation yet is a completely different concept from one who has successfully transcended it!

The former is only close to a powerful ’immortal’ in terms of cultivation level.

The latter is already halfway to becoming an ’immortal’!

The ’False Dimensional Plane’ painstakingly created by such an expert very likely contains the ’Treasure Vault’ he left before ascending to the Heavenly Planes.

And within the Treasure Vault, there must be his ’legacy’ as well as various ’treasures’ left behind by him.

"Do you think... he dares to enter the Void Rift?"

"This is hard to say... Even if we ignore whether he truly is the ’Black Robe Man’, even if he is, it doesn’t mean he dares to enter the Void Rift."

"I agree."

"Have you not seen that even the Alliance Leader of the Dominic Alliance and a host of high-ranking members have yet to enter the Void Rift? Does the Black Robe Man have more courage than the Alliance Leader of the Dominic Alliance?"

...

Wyatt Barnes heard the sound of a group of people’s discussions around him.

Most people were questioning his identity as the ’Black Robe Man’, and many were debating whether he dared to enter the Void Rift.

"The Alliance Leader of the Dominic Alliance?"

Hearing some people’s words, Wyatt Barnes followed their gaze and looked not far away.

There, a group of people was gathered.

Leading them was a burly and robust man with a rugged beard, dressed in luxurious clothing. His eyebrows showed authority without anger, and with just one glance, one could tell he was a man ’long accustomed to power’.

"Is he the Alliance Leader of the Dominic Alliance, Makai Holland?"

Wyatt Barnes thought.

Makai Holland, the Alliance Leader of the Dominic Alliance, a Transcended Saint Fifth Transformation expert, ranked in the ’top fifty’ of the Extreme Saint Ranking.

Furthermore, the Dominic Alliance in Sin City was a very powerful Loose Cultivator alliance, only below the Seven Kills Alliance, Thousand Autumns Alliance, and Eternal Covenant.

Wyatt Barnes still remembered:

The first inn he stayed in within Sin City, the ’Welcome Retreat Inn’, was a property under the Dominic Alliance!
