Chapter 2994: Golden Horned Crow Flock

The group from Autumn Holding Kingdom lined up in the same row, and at the forefront was the Fourth Prince of Autumn Holding Kingdom, ’Ezequiel Cruz’.

"I’ll go first... Stay cautious, everyone."

After Ezequiel Cruz dripped blood on the master and sub plaque of the jade plaques to claim ownership, he nodded towards Wyatt Barnes and others, then proceeded with forty-nine others through the portal into South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

Originally, Ezequiel Cruz intended for Wyatt Barnes to be at the forefront, but Wyatt didn’t mind the order, casually standing behind Emanuel Yellow.

The second in line of the Autumn Holding Kingdom group was Emanuel Yellow’s fifth brother, ’Francis Yellow’.

"Fifth brother, be careful and don’t act recklessly."

Although Emanuel Yellow had several close brothers, his best relationship was with his similarly aged fifth brother, so his expression was solemn as his fifth brother prepared to enter.

"Don’t worry, fourth brother, I’ll make it back alive."

Francis Yellow chuckled.

With a nod towards Wyatt Barnes, he too entered South Heaven’s Ancient Realm with forty-nine others.

After Francis Yellow, it was Emanuel Yellow’s turn.

"Brother Barnes, I’m heading in first... Although your strength is extraordinary, Mystic Abyss Mansion is vast, and there are quite a few formidable Upper Immortals; you mustn’t underestimate them."

Before entering, Emanuel Yellow advised Wyatt Barnes, fearing that Wyatt might overlook the Upper Immortals entering the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm.

"Don’t worry."

Wyatt nodded, then watched Emanuel Yellow proceed.

He understood the saying ’there’s always a higher sky, and someone stronger’ well.

Even, the world he sees is broader than Emanuel Yellow’s, despite Emanuel being an indigenous of the myriad heavens realm and Wyatt being a mere ascender.

Even as an ascender, he had encountered beings more formidable than the Heavenly Emperor of myriad heavens realm.

Thus, his perspective is far broader than Emanuel Yellow could imagine.

After Emanuel Yellow, it was Wyatt Barnes’ turn to enter. Wyatt took out the jade plaques and, in front of the person in charge of their group from Cloud Platform Immortal Sect, dripped blood to claim ownership.

Next, the Cloud Platform Immortal Sect’s person took out a small jade plaque, requiring Wyatt Barnes to establish blood connection.

Wyatt understood this was the sub plaque of his jade plaques, reflecting changes in points in his master plaque.

"After claiming master plaque with blood, you can immerse your Divine Sense to check points... currently, just one point."

The person in charge of Wyatt’s group, a young man from Cloud Platform Immortal Sect, wearing a robe, spoke dispassionately.

On hearing this, Wyatt instantly immersed Divine Sense into the jade plaques, receiving confirmation of a single point.

"If there’s nothing else, proceed inside."

After registering Wyatt’s name, the Cloud Platform Immortal Sect disciple said.

"Alright."

Wyatt nodded, then stepped out into the opened portal ahead, moving towards the darkness beyond the door.

The instant Wyatt touched darkness, he felt a powerful force pulling him into the darkness.

During this process, though he attempted resistance, it was futile.

After being engulfed, Wyatt’s vision dimmed, then a dizzying sensation overwhelmed him.

The sensation lasted dozens of breaths, finally ceasing.

Once the sensation subsided, Wyatt’s vision brightened, the dazzling light instinctively made him squint.

"Where is this..."

Squinting his eyes and glancing around, Wyatt determined he was in a forest, surrounded by unnamed trees.

Moreover, beneath his feet lay layers of yellow-green leaves on the soft ground.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, sensing something, Wyatt stared at unidentified shrub-like plants beside him.

The plants were lush and dense, a dark yellow entirely, blending with the earth.

"Howl—"

As Wyatt gazed towards it, two ghostly green lights appeared within the lush plants.

As the green lights emerged, a dark yellow figure seemed to separate from the plants, lunging towards Wyatt.

"Is this... an Immortal Beast?"

Wyatt now clearly saw what pounced towards him was an Immortal Beast resembling a wolf by seven or eight degrees; one could tell by its gaze it had no sentience.

"It surprisingly possesses Mystic Realm’s Upper Immortal cultivation... and its instinctive methods are as formidable as top-tier Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities."

At this moment, Wyatt’s Divine Sense swept out, roughly perceiving the non-sentient Immortal Beast’s essence.

Whoosh!

As the Immortal Beast approached, Wyatt’s right hand darted out like lightning, with soil-yellow light flashing, emitting a potent aura.

At this instant, Wyatt’s right hand, with Immortal Origin Force, was fused with the basic element of Earth-attribute Law.

"Awooo~~"

The next moment, a scream resounded.

Wyatt Barnes swiftly reached out, directly grabbing the neck of the Immortal Beast that pounced forward, and at this moment, the light on Wyatt’s right hand surprisingly transformed into a gigantic palm.

This Immortal Beast, standing on all fours, was 1.5 meters tall, and its neck was extremely sturdy. If not for conjuring a hand, Wyatt’s own hand couldn’t entirely grip around its neck.

Of course, that was because Wyatt didn’t intend to take the life of this Immortal Beast...

Otherwise, even just a point of his finger earlier would have been enough to end the life of this Immortal Beast.

"It’s actually a normal Immortal Beast, not conjured by formations... There is life presence within South Heaven’s Ancient Realm?"

Extending his Divine Sense, he confirmed the Immortal Beast in his hand was a normal Immortal Beast, not conjured, and Wyatt was instantly stunned.

"Is this... the small world opened up by an Immortal Sovereign?"

"The small world opened by an Immortal Sovereign can actually allow living beings to survive inside for an extended period?"

Though Wyatt wasn’t very familiar with the small worlds opened by Immortal Sovereigns and above,

he did have some understanding of the small worlds opened by Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings.

Even a small world opened by an Immortal King, those who enter it can’t stay for too long; otherwise, they would be forcibly transmitted out.

"Wrong!"

At that thought, Wyatt shook his head again, "Maybe this Immortal Beast was sent into the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm recently?"

His gaze refocused on the Immortal Beast before him, and Wyatt realized that though this was an Immortal Beast without intelligence, after being held captive by him for a while, its gaze showed instinctual fear.

"I’ll let you go this time... If there’s a next time, your life is mine."

Wyatt said blandly.

As his words fell, he released the grip on the Immortal Beast, allowing it to regain freedom.

And the Immortal Beast, once freed, glanced at Wyatt fearfully before leaving, disappearing from Wyatt’s sight in the blink of an eye.

"What exactly is this place?"

Wyatt ascended into the air, his Immortal Origin Power landing on the ground, causing the fallen leaves to fly everywhere.

"Huh? There’s still restrictions?"

Upon reaching a height of about a hundred meters above the forest, Wyatt discovered regardless of how he urged his Immortal Origin Power, even integrating Earth-attribute elements into it, he couldn’t ascend further.

Above him seemed to be an invisible pressure, constantly binding him, preventing further ascent.

"At this height, nothing useful is visible."

Standing in the void, Wyatt scanned his surroundings; with his eyesight, he could see very far, but what he saw was an endless forest.

Rustle!

Rustle rustle!

...

Suddenly, a sound reached from afar, initially Wyatt paying no attention, but as the sound approached, it became like a flood rushing through.

"That is..."

Wyatt looked towards where the sound came from, and discovered a swarm of dense black dots rapidly moving towards him.

Soon, those black dots grew larger, eventually turning into numerous crow-sized black ravens.

On top of these ravens’ heads grew golden horns, where golden glints faintly flickered, exuding an eerie aura.

"These are... Golden Horned Crows?"

As he clearly saw the incoming thousands of black ravens, Wyatt’s face drastically changed.

Golden Horned Crows, though without intelligence, possess high innate talent, even without any fortuitous encounters, they can grow to the ’Peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal’ level.

"These Golden Horned Crows seem... to possess the peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal cultivation level!"

Witnessing the speed of the thousands of ravens, Wyatt could easily discern their cultivation, momentarily causing him to feel a tingling scalp.

Dozens of such ravens wouldn’t worry him.

However, hundreds would pose a significant threat.

Moreover, if hundreds of ravens successfully formed formations, with his current strength, he would be doomed!

The terror of Golden Horned Crows is not in their innate talent, but in their innate ability to form formations with their companions.

A single Golden Horned Crow is not horrifying, but a few, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands gathered together is incredibly terrifying.

It’s said that thousands of Golden Horned Crows gathered together, if successfully forming formations, can easily kill a notably strong Immortal Lord!

"No way! These thousands of ravens... seem to be already forming formations, patrolling the sky, searching for prey!"

As the group of thousands of Golden Horned Crows got closer, Wyatt noticed this detail.

Immediately, without any hesitation, Wyatt’s figure flickered, his body enveloped in earth-yellow light, and he shot towards the forest like an arrow.

At this moment, he had no other choice.

Once inside the forest, even if thousands of Golden Horned Crows chased him, they surely couldn’t maintain their formation.

That way, he might still have a glimmer of hope.

"Why am I so unlucky? Just arrived and ran into this terrifying swarm of Golden Horned Crows?"

As Wyatt burned with urgency, he felt a tingling scalp, thinking himself truly unfortunate!
