Chapter 3002: Fellow Travelers

On this journey, Wyatt Barnes also encountered three people.

One of them, upon seeing him, underestimated him for being under a hundred years old, made a move against him, and died by his hand.

The other two had witnessed Wyatt Barnes’ strength during his fight with Jalen Bell, the second prince of the South Star Kingdom.

As a result, they didn’t have the courage to attack Wyatt Barnes, and even thought they were doomed.

However, because they didn’t initiate the attack, Wyatt Barnes didn’t make a move on them either.

For Wyatt Barnes now, reaching that ’Immortal Sovereign Hall’ was the priority. It was rumored to be a place left behind by the Immortal Emperor of South Heaven, which should hold many opportunities.

After a month, upon exiting the forest, Wyatt Barnes entered a vast, endless plain.

On this plain, at intervals, there were some mountains visible, but they were all solitary peaks without connecting ranges.

"Hmm?"

After traveling for three more days, when Wyatt Barnes flew over a mountain ridge, he clearly heard the sounds of a fight coming from within the ridge.

Initially, Wyatt Barnes hadn’t planned to intervene.

But, as an extremely arrogant voice reached his ears, his face darkened, and he immediately descended from the sky.

"Francis Yellow, you’re no match for me! Prepare to die!"

It was upon hearing this voice that Wyatt Barnes stopped his journey and descended from the sky into the ridge.

Quickly, two battling figures appeared in his sight.

One of them was clearly at a disadvantage.

And that voice just now belonged to the other person.

The one at a disadvantage was Francis Yellow, the fifth son of Ismael Yellow, the City Lord of Ducoin City in the Autumn Holding Kingdom, and the brother of Emanuel Yellow.

After descending into the ridge, Wyatt Barnes did not hide his presence; instead, he deliberately emanated waves of his aura.

The two fighting individuals sensed his aura and, realizing his presence, immediately separated.

"Brother Barnes?!"

Francis Yellow initially thought he was dead for sure, but to his surprise, at this critical moment, the person who appeared was someone he knew, and a friend of his brother.

Instantly, he was overjoyed, his eyes and face full of excitement.

Swish!

The person opposing Francis Yellow, upon seeing that Francis recognized the newcomer, had a drastic change in expression.

"Brother Barnes?"

Now, hearing Francis refer to the newcomer, he looked at Wyatt with his pupils contracting, "Could he be the genius loose cultivator of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, Wyatt Barnes?"

"The one who could easily defeat even Jalen Bell, the second prince of the South Star Kingdom?"

Upon this thought, the young man in embroidered clothes opposing Francis Yellow’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately moved to flee.

Whoosh!

However, just as the youth in embroidered clothes made his move, a figure appeared like a specter on his path, blocking him.

The one blocking him was Wyatt Barnes.

Even though this person had not wronged him, he couldn’t stand by and watch someone who tried to kill Wyatt’s brother’s sibling get away.

"Wyatt Barnes, I... I haven’t offended you."

The youth in embroidered clothes looked at Wyatt Barnes with a pale face, his eyes and face full of fear. He clenched his fists, visibly feeling the cold sweat trickling down his palms.

Even Jalen Bell could easily defeat him.

And in front of him, Wyatt Barnes could easily defeat Jalen Bell. Judging by the speed at which Wyatt appeared in his path, his strength was not something the young man could contend with.

However, in the moment the young man’s words fell, Wyatt Barnes struck like thunder, sweeping horizontally with a stick, directly taking the young man’s life.

The youth in embroidered clothes didn’t have time to react before he died at the hands of Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, even if he had reacted and tried to defend himself, he still couldn’t withstand Wyatt Barnes’ strike.

Wyatt Barnes’ blow was imbued with Immortal Origin mixed with the element of earth and integrated the powers of the two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, ’Immovable King’ and ’Purple Energy from the East.’ It was not something a peak Upper Immortal who hadn’t yet comprehended the Law Rules could resist.

"Are you okay?"

After killing the young man in embroidered clothes, Wyatt Barnes turned to Francis Yellow, who was sweeping over, and asked with a smile.

"I’m fine."

Francis Yellow shook his head, looking a bit shaken, "Luckily, Brother Barnes, you appeared in time and lent a hand... Otherwise, I’d already be dead at the hands of that Jasper Summer."

"Jasper Summer?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, "You knew him?"

At this point, Wyatt Barnes recalled that the man he had just killed had mentioned Francis Yellow’s name before Wyatt appeared, which likely meant he already knew Francis.

Even if he didn’t know Francis beforehand, the fact that Francis stated his name couldn’t be disregarded, especially given how smug the other man seemed when he was about to kill Francis.

After all, it was rare for two unrelated individuals to encounter such a situation.

"Of course I know him."

Francis Yellow said with a bitter smile, "Moreover, there are some conflicts... Naturally, the conflicts with my brother are bigger because it was initially because of a clash between my brother and him that led to him venting his anger on me."

"Bradley?"

Wyatt Barnes raised his brows, knowing that the ’brother’ Francis was talking about was Emanuel Yellow.

Although Francis had other older brothers besides Emanuel, those brothers were much older than him, and their time spent together was not long, so he generally didn’t address them in such an affectionate manner.

The only one he would call ’brother’ was Emanuel Yellow.

Since Francis was Emanuel’s brother, and Emanuel was on good terms with him, Wyatt decided to bring Francis along for the journey.

"Immortal Sovereign Palace?"

On the way, upon learning about the existence of the Immortal Sovereign Palace, Francis was greatly surprised as he clearly hadn’t heard of it before.

"Accumulate ten points, and you’ll be guided to the Immortal Sovereign Palace?"

Francis pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightening, "I remember now... No wonder in the past, some Upper Immortals coming out from the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm obtained precious items but forgot how they got them."

"No wonder some Upper Immortals don’t even know how they acquired a portion of their points..."

"It seems that the formations in the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm can erase the memories of people who obtain more than ten points."

Francis speculated.

"Moreover, it should be not only erasing the memory of those who obtained more than ten points... It’s likely those who interacted with people who acquired over ten points, like me now, might lose the memory of meeting you, Brother Barnes, after leaving."

Francis guessed and said, "Otherwise, I could tell others everything you’ve told me... In the past, similar things probably happened when the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm opened, and yet no one outside has heard of the Immortal Sovereign Palace, which confirms my speculation."

"It’s likely so."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Francis, how many points do you have now?"

Wyatt looked at Francis and asked.

"Three."

Francis said with an embarrassed smile, "I got lucky and encountered two peak Upper Immortals each with only one point and average strength... After killing them, my jade plaque accumulated three points."

After speaking, Francis looked at Wyatt, "What about you, Brother Barnes?"

"Me? Before killing that person just now, I had sixteen points..."

Hearing Francis’s words, Wyatt said while integrating his Divine Sense with the jade plaque in his hand, "Now, there are a total of twenty-one points."

"I really didn’t expect... that person just now had five points."

Wyatt said.

Although Francis was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the number of points Wyatt had accumulated. He never expected Wyatt had already amassed twenty-one points.

"If Jasper Summer had killed me, he’d have eight points... It’s just unfortunate for him that he happened to encounter you, Brother Barnes."

At this point, Francis couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, then looked solemnly at Wyatt, "Brother Barnes, I know you’re on good terms with my brother, saving me is just a trivial effort for you..."

"But, I’ll keep this favor in mind, Francis Yellow promises to find a chance to repay you someday!"

Francis said with a determined look.

Seeing Francis’s determined gaze, Wyatt didn’t say anything courteous in return, only offering a light smile.

"Francis, you’re coming with me to the Immortal Sovereign Palace, but we don’t know if entering the palace requires points... For the rest of the journey, I’ll kill, and you collect the points. Let’s quickly accumulate more than ten points in your jade plaque."

After traveling for a while, Wyatt seemed to remember something and told Francis.

"This... Isn’t it inappropriate? How can the points from the people you killed be mine?"

Though tempted, Francis shook his head in refusal, "Brother Barnes, I know you want to help me... But, I hope more for you to be ranked ’first’ in this expedition to the lower realm of South Heaven’s Ancient Realm."

"Just do as I say."

Wyatt said again, leaving no room for discussion, causing Francis to smile bitterly but feel warmhearted.

On the journey thereafter, to help gather points for Francis, Wyatt showed no mercy.

Even killing strangers who hadn’t attacked him or Francis first, he slaughtered them to collect points for Francis.

After killing two more people, Francis’s points reached ten.

"I also received the guidance."

After acquiring ten points, Francis said to Wyatt.

"Hmm."

Wyatt nodded.

Continuing the journey, Wyatt didn’t hold back and killed several more people to secure additional points.

Those entering the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm knew they faced dangers with slim chances of survival, long prepared for life-and-death moments.

Yet, those killed by Wyatt felt not only despair at the moment of their demise but also immense frustration!

Because Wyatt was so powerful, they didn’t even have a chance to make a move.
