Chapter 2145: Evan Clark, Demon Race?!
Chapter 2145: Evan Clark, Demon Race?!
The two remaining groups were constantly praying, hoping that the ’third trial’ they were facing did not result in someone from their side being killed first.
Because if someone from their side died first, it meant they, along with everyone in their group, would be eliminated!
Once eliminated, it was a path of no return!
If they could choose, most of them would wish they had never come here.
However, now, they had no choice.
As the two groups found themselves in two ’enclosed spaces’, facing wave after wave of tests in the ’third trial’.
Wyatt Barnes, however, remained leisurely in the middle of the two ’enclosed spaces’.
Of course, he only appeared to be leisurely.
Wyatt’s mood was particularly heavy at the moment.
Although he was very interested in high-grade ’innate soul roots’, as soon as he thought about the ’Demon Race’ possibly having already invaded the Martial Dao Sacred Land from the Exiled Land, he set aside his personal desires for the time being and focused on the bigger picture.
His desire to quickly enhance his ’innate soul roots’ was merely to increase his strength as soon as possible.
Only by enhancing his strength quickly could he rescue Keer and her mother from the ’Fire Worship Sect’ in the shortest time possible!
"Even if Keer were in my position, she would surely make the same choice..."
Wyatt was well aware of Keer’s ’kindness’.
If he really put his personal gains first and allowed humanity to lose so many strong warriors to the point where, when the Demon Race descended, humanity had no power to resist, even if he rescued Keer in the shortest time, she wouldn’t be happy.
Of course, the current situation was different.
Even though Wyatt was inclined to save the two groups of strong warriors, he was powerless to do so because he simply couldn’t break into the two ’enclosed spaces’ like the stone cave he had been in before.
"It’s not that I don’t want to help you... but I’m powerless."
At this moment, Wyatt was filled with helplessness and nothing more.
After a while, he took a deep breath and gradually regained some composure.
At this time, he also realized that some things were beyond his control.
There are always some unsatisfactory events in life.
"Elder Fire, if the people in one of the ’enclosed spaces’ get eliminated first... when that space and the people inside are destroyed, will that terrifying power affect me here?"
"Do I need to hide in the ’Jewel Tower’ like before?"
After considering this ’question’, Wyatt immediately asked Elder Fire.
If that destructive force could affect him, he had to be prepared in advance, just in case!
Although he hadn’t experienced that force before.
But he was well aware of the ’aftermath’ left behind by that force after it rampaged.
Not only was the spacious stone cave he was in before destroyed, but even strong figures like ’Larson Buckingham’ and ’Mason Waddy’ were wiped out in an instant, leaving no trace of their remains!
So, he couldn’t be too cautious.
"There’s no need for that."
After hearing Wyatt’s query, Elder Fire quickly responded, "The power of the killing formation only covers the area where the ’enclosed space’ is located... This force, to ensure maximum power, not only manifests in an instant but also only covers a specific area."
"So, you don’t need to hide in the ’Jewel Tower’ for refuge... You only need to get there immediately after that ’enclosed space’ is destroyed and the people inside are killed."
Elder Fire advised.
Wyatt nodded and waited patiently for Elder Fire’s ’reminder’.
Time passed quietly.
No one knew how long had passed when Elder Fire’s voice suddenly reached Wyatt’s ears:
"The ’enclosed space’ on your left! Quick! Go over there!!"
As soon as Elder Fire’s urging voice reached Wyatt’s ears, his long-prepared ’Saint Origin’ roared forth, and he unleashed his abilities, rushing in the direction pointed by Elder Fire at the fastest speed.
With the aid of the auxiliary divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ and the body technique divine ability ’Golden Crow’s Wings’, Wyatt swiftly covered half the distance in the blink of an eye.
And at that moment.
Boom!!
A thunderous explosion suddenly resounded from afar. Luckily, the thunderclap was brief; otherwise, it would’ve certainly startled Wyatt into halting.
Even so, Wyatt’s speed slightly slowed in surprise, before he accelerated again.
In no time, Wyatt reached an open area and extended his Divine Sense, immediately sensing the lingering souls in the void, as well as the ’innate soul roots’ they contained.
"Blue soul roots, blue soul roots... Although they’re only ’light blue’, there are three of them!"
"Green soul roots... there’s also four of them."
As Wyatt devoured the ’innate soul roots’ lingering in the void, he couldn’t help but shudder inside, "Three ’blue soul roots’ likely mean... three of the deceased here were strong warriors at or above the ’Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal’!"
After a moment of shock, Wyatt’s focus shifted back to his own ’innate soul roots’.
Now, Wyatt’s innate soul roots deepened further in their blue hue, and ultimately, they held a hint of violet.
At that moment, Wyatt realized:
"Now, my innate soul roots are just a hair’s breadth away from transforming into ’purple soul roots’!"
For a while, Wyatt’s heart was again in disarray.
Meanwhile, inside the other ’enclosed space’.
"Congratulations to you all for passing the ’third trial’..."
Evan Clark’s voice clearly entered the ears of a group of people, causing them to be overjoyed.
"Haha... We’ve passed!"
"We survived! We survived!!"
"Fortune favors the bold! Today, I have deeply and thoroughly understood the ’meaning’ of these five words."
...
Many people shouted in excitement, as if they had never been so happy before.
Even the three strongest among them, who are at the ’Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation’, let out a sigh of relief, exchanging glances and then smiling.
"The Snake Granny... is dead."
Soon, one of them sighed.
This person was Teo Morgan, who had previously encountered the Snake Granny outside, hence he said she was dead.
Because the Snake Granny was not assigned to their group.
And now, apart from their group, the other two groups were evidently eliminated, already dead!
"The Snake Granny was here too?"
Another elderly man’s pupils shrank and his face changed drastically.
He, like Teo Morgan and the Snake Granny, was also a Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation loose cultivator from Sin City, and one of the city’s ’Guardian Deities’.
Moreover, compared to Teo Morgan, he had a better relationship with the Snake Granny.
"Yes."
Teo Morgan nodded, "I met her outside; she and I entered almost one after the other."
Instantly, the elderly man closed his eyes in grief, mourning his ’old friend’, while his heart kept screaming, "Snake Granny, you shouldn’t have come... you shouldn’t have come!!"
"Now..."
Suddenly, Evan Clark’s voice continued, snapping Teo Morgan and the others back to reality, listening quietly:
"You have passed the ’third trial’, you should all be very happy, right? Feeling as though you’re a step closer to the ’treasures’ and ’transmissions’ we’ve left behind, right?"
Evan Clark spoke at this point.
Apart from Teo Morgan and the other two ’Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation’ cultivators who frowned slightly, feeling Evan Clark’s current tone seemed a bit strange.
The others not only didn’t notice, but even laughed.
Indeed.
They were all very happy now!
"However... What I want to tell you now is: In this ’independent space’ we created, there is no such thing as ’treasures’, nor have we left any ’transmissions’!"
Evan Clark’s voice continued, gradually carrying a hint of mockery by the end.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Almost the moment Evan Clark’s voice fell, Teo Morgan and the other two Saint Immortal Seventh Transformation cultivators’ expressions changed dramatically.
No ’treasures’?
No ’transmissions’?
For a moment, a foreboding feeling arose within their hearts!
"No treasures? No transmissions?"
"What... What’s going on? Is this some kind of joke?"
"What a joke!"
...
Others came back to their senses, one by one, completely bewildered.
Even though it was hard to believe, since Evan Clark said so, they couldn’t help but believe him!
"Is he joking?"
"He must be..."
A few still harbored unrealistic hopes.
Three successful Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation transcenders, ’half-step immortals’ of the highest caliber, went to such lengths to create this ’independent space’, merely to toy with them?
It’s truly unbelievable!
"Now, you must find it hard to believe, that my two friends and I went to such lengths to create this ’independent space’ merely to toy with you!"
Evan Clark’s voice continued, as if he had already anticipated everyone’s reactions.
"Since you are the last group of survivors... I shall tell you the ’truth’!"
"The ’truth’ is... my two friends and I are not humans! Of course, we’re not the ’Sacred Beasts’ from your Martial Dao Sacred Land either."
"We are the Demon Race from the Era of Human Demons, unable to return home due to being oppressively pursued by humans, forced to stay at the Martial Dao Sacred Land! We were lucky enough to survive despite being hunted by many powerful human cultivators!"
Evan Clark’s voice echoed in the ears of Teo Morgan and the others, shocking them so much that their expressions changed dramatically.
Demon Race?
This self-claimed Evan Clark turns out to be the ’Demon Race’?!
