Chapter 2144: Powerless
Chapter 2144: Powerless
"Blessing in disguise?"
Hearing Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
Indeed.
This time, it was a ’blessing in disguise’ for him.
Not only did he escape a calamity, but he also absorbed so many high-grade ’innate spiritual roots’ from powerful beings, allowing his own innate spiritual root to quickly evolve into ’dark blue,’ not far from transforming into a ’purple spiritual root.’
However, just thinking about the likes of ’Larson Buckingham’ and ’Mason Waddy’ dying just like that, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
Mason Waddy, besides being known as the ’Azure Bat King,’ one of the four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, was also ranked ’twenty-fourth’ on the Extreme Saint Ranking, having reached the ’Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm.’
Larson Buckingham, apart from being a pinnacle loose cultivator in Sin City, had long entered the ’Eighth Transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm,’ and was ranked ’ninth’ on the Extreme Saint Ranking!
Even in the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land, Larson was a pinnacle powerhouse!
Yet, these two powerhouses were killed in an instant in this ’False Dimensional Plane.’
From beginning to end, the two of them probably didn’t even have time to react, let alone resist that terrifying force!
"If heaven gave them a ’second chance’...even if they had a hundred times the courage, they probably wouldn’t dare set foot here!"
Wyatt Barnes could almost be certain of this.
"As for the others, like the Thousand-Autumn Alliance Leader ’Righty East,’ Ob-Dust Sect Leader ’Frederick Ho,’ and the remaining people...if they had a ’second chance,’ they would surely feel the same!"
A moment ago, a group of people had been standing alive in front of Wyatt Barnes, and in the blink of an eye, they were all killed!
The feelings of Wyatt Barnes now can easily be imagined.
He wasn’t ’joyous’ because his innate spiritual root had further evolved.
Instead, he only felt fortunate:
He felt fortunate to have the ’Jewel Tower,’ and that the terrifying force only erupted in an instant.
Otherwise, he would surely have died today!
Even now, cold sweat continued to break out on Wyatt Barnes’s forehead.
His heartbeat, even now, hadn’t returned to normal.
Time quietly passed by.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wyatt Barnes gradually snapped out of his ’shock,’ and looking around, he found himself surrounded by vast emptiness, unable to see anything clearly, not knowing which way to go.
At this moment, he didn’t need to partake in any ’test’ anymore. He was like a lone boat lost on the ocean, directionless and lonely.
Wyatt Barnes now seemed to have been forgotten by Evan Clark, one of the three half-step immortals who made this False Dimensional Plane.
"Elder Fire, in this False Dimensional Plane, I should have been killed just like Larson Buckingham and Mason Waddy...but because of the existence of the ’Jewel Tower,’ I survived. It seems I’ve now broken free from Evan Clark’s control."
Wyatt Barnes communicated with Elder Fire, and after speaking, he asked, "How do I leave this ’False Dimensional Plane’ now?"
Now, Wyatt Barnes no longer cared about the ’treasures’ within this False Dimensional Plane. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible!
The events just now had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
Just a little bit!
Just a little bit more!
Just a tiny bit more, and he would have died!!
The feeling of brushing past ’Hell Gate’ was something Wyatt Barnes still couldn’t help but feel a chill over whenever he thought of it.
If possible, he never wanted to experience that feeling again in his lifetime.
So, he was now eager to leave this place.
"Why leave this ’False Dimensional Plane’?"
Yet, faced with Wyatt Barnes’s inquiry, Elder Fire asked this in return.
"Elder Fire."
Wyatt Barnes gave a bitter smile, "Now, according to the test left by Evan Clark and the other two half-step immortals, I’ve already been eliminated...even though I survived by luck, I’m definitely out of the running for the subsequent tests."
"Unable to continue participating in the following tests means I’m destined to miss out on the various ’treasures’ and ’inheritances’ they left in this False Dimensional Plane."
"In this case, rather than staying here on edge, it’s better to leave early."
Wyatt Barnes explained his reason for ’leaving.’
"You might not be able to participate in the following tests...but, don’t you want to continue improving your ’innate spiritual root’?"
Elder Fire asked.
"Elder Fire, what do you mean by this?"
Wyatt Barnes was startled, completely unaware of what Elder Fire meant by that:
What does it mean he doesn’t want to enhance his ’talent root’?
"My current strength has already returned to the ’immortal’ level... Therefore, my Divine Sense can see through a lot of things in this False Dimensional Plane. Just like now, the other two groups are continuing with the ’Third Layer Test’."
Elder Fire said at appropriate timing: "And the rules for the test they are undergoing are similar to those in the Second Layer Test... If anyone in any group dies, the entire group will be wiped out!"
"So what?"
Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a wry smile: "I don’t even know where they are right now... Could it be that after one group is wiped out, I can devour their ’talent root’?"
"Why can’t you?"
However, Elder Fire’s next question made Wyatt’s wry smile disappear and he became serious, "Elder Fire, you mean... you can let me devour the ’talent root’ of the eliminated group?"
"Of course I can."
Elder Fire’s tone was very confident, "I just told you, my Divine Sense can see through a lot of things in this False Dimensional Plane... Earlier, I tried to explore this False Dimensional Plane and confirmed their location."
"The distance between their respective ’enclosed spaces’, similar to the stone cave you were in earlier, isn’t far... As long as you first stay in the middle of two ’enclosed spaces’, with your speed, you can reach one of the ’enclosed spaces’ in at most ten breaths."
"One of the enclosed spaces will inevitably be destroyed, and the people inside will be utterly dead... At that time, it’s not too late for you to head over there."
Elder Fire continued: "Of course, when you get there... their ’talent root’ will definitely have dissipated quite a bit. Yet it will still significantly enhance your talent root!"
Wyatt nodded.
However, he did not show any joy, but rather had a feeling of ’hunter’s sympathy’.
"Elder Fire!"
Suddenly, Wyatt asked Elder Fire: "Do you... have a way to send them out or stop the ’test’ set by the three half-step immortals from continuing?"
’Talent root’ is indeed tempting, but if Wyatt Barnes had to choose, he would prefer those two groups to escape misfortune.
It’s not that he is particularly noble.
But he coincidentally recalled the earlier rumors about the ’Demon Race’ possibly successfully invading the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!
Although, the matter is rarely mentioned by people from the Upper Domain now, Wyatt’s heart is still restless.
Additionally, he always has a bad ’premonition’, and it’s very strong.
As the saying goes:
Better safe than sorry!
What if the ’Demon Race’ indeed breaches the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land?
Then, not only will the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land suffer devastation, but even the Upper Domain will be affected, almost inevitable.
At that time, everyone will need to unite to fight against the ’Demon Race’!
At present, those who have ventured into the ’False Dimensional Plane’ created by Evan Clark and the three half-step immortals, aside from Larson Buckingham and Mason Waddy who were assigned to the same group as him and have already died, there are undoubtedly several others above the ’Seventh Transformation of Saint Immortal’.
Once the Demon Race attacks the Upper Domain, those above the ’Seventh Transformation of Saint Immortal’ will undoubtedly be the backbone of humanity’s resistance against the Demon Race!
Therefore, Wyatt Barnes fervently hopes they survive.
Even if he doesn’t know them, has no interactions with them, even if their ’talent root’ is very tempting to him...
He still hopes they survive!
"Unless I can leave the ’Jewel Tower’... otherwise, I can’t send them out nor can I stop the ’test’ set by the three half-step immortals from continuing!"
Facing Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, Elder Fire quickly responded.
Elder Fire’s response naturally disappointed Wyatt Barnes greatly.
While feeling greatly disappointed, Wyatt seemed to recall something, and his eyes timely showed a ’hopeful spark’, "Elder Fire, can you guide me in saving them?"
"You? Your strength is too weak... At least you need the cultivation of the ’immortal’ level to save them."
Elder Fire vetoed.
"Otherwise, even if you know their current location within the ’enclosed space’... with your current strength, even if you use all your means, you cannot break in, let alone rescue them!"
Elder Fire continued: "What you can do now is to watch coldly... and not let their ’talent root’ lose its utility value."
"It’s not that you don’t want to save them; it’s that you’re powerless! So, you don’t need to feel pressured either."
Hearing Elder Fire say this, Wyatt Barnes also realized:
He could only watch helplessly as one of those two groups went to die!
Realizing he couldn’t save those two groups, Wyatt Barnes, under Elder Fire’s guidance, arrived at the middle of those two distant ’enclosed spaces’ waiting for Elder Fire’s ’reminder’.
At the same time.
The other two groups were also undergoing the ’Third Layer Test’.
Surviving the ’Second Layer Test’ and advancing to participate in the ’Third Layer Test’ was undoubtedly an exciting matter for them.
However, faced with the ’Third Layer Test’ which was similar to the ’Second Layer Test’, their hearts couldn’t help but hang up...
