Chapter 2612: Battle with Eren Maxwell!
Chapter 2612: Battle with Eren Maxwell!
The Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp was located to the northeast of Bloodshade City.
Starting from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp, whether heading for Bloodshade City, or for the Black Dragon Army camp to the southwest of Bloodshade City, it was all on the same straight line.
This line was also the only route from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp to Bloodshade City and even to the Black Dragon Army camp.
Unless one deliberately took a detour, people would generally travel along this road.
And now, on this inevitable route, a tall purple figure stood suspended in midair, his gaze calmly fixed on the northeast, as if there was something he was waiting for in that direction.
This purple figure was none other than the "Wyatt Barnes" who had just greeted the ten Black Dragon Army soldiers under his command and then headed back in the direction of Bloodshade City.
Of course, although Wyatt passed by Bloodshade City again, he did not enter.
He simply streaked through the air over Bloodshade City, came to a spot still some distance away from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp, and hovered there in midair, quietly waiting...
As if waiting for something.
Or as if waiting for someone.
Roughly half an hour later.
"He’s here!"
Amid thunder and lightning, Wyatt, who had stood motionless for half an hour, still showed little change in expression, but his brows nevertheless twitched at just the right moment, and he muttered inwardly to himself.
Whoosh!!
Almost as soon as Wyatt spoke in his heart, a sharp sonic boom timely rang out as well, coming straight toward Wyatt’s side. In the blink of an eye, it was already within a mere thousand meters of him.
"Hm?"
The sharp sound of something tearing through the sky came from a person moving through the air at extreme speed. Once that person discovered Wyatt, his speed suddenly dropped, and he quickly came to a halt.
When he finally stopped completely, he was already less than a hundred meters away from Wyatt.
And the reason he halted was because he discovered:
From the moment he appeared, Wyatt’s gaze had locked firmly onto him, giving him the feeling that Wyatt had been waiting for him...
"Commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, Eren Maxwell?"
Looking at the burly man before him, two meters tall and with a face full of stubble, Wyatt raised an eyebrow and asked blandly.
The burly man before him bore seven or eight parts resemblance between his brows to the owner of Phoenix Arrival Wine House he had seen before—Jaylani Maxwell, the wife of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon Centurion Noel Yorke...
So it wasn’t hard for him to guess:
This was precisely the person he was waiting for:
Commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, Eren Maxwell!
"Who are you?!"
Seeing the purple‑clothed young man before him speak his name, Eren Maxwell’s thick eyebrows suddenly arched. When he opened his mouth, his voice boomed like a great bell, giving a deafening impression.
"Didn’t you leave the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp in such a hurry just now precisely because of ’me’?"
Faced with Eren Maxwell’s question, Wyatt spoke with a completely calm expression.
Swoosh!
And almost the instant Wyatt’s voice fell, Eren Maxwell’s expression changed drastically. His large, bell‑like eyes shrank fiercely. "You... are that new Centurion of the Black Dragon Army, Wyatt Barnes?"
Today, when the ten Black Dragon Army soldiers under Wyatt had mentioned what he had done in War God Valley within the Black Dragon Army camp, they had also revealed Wyatt’s "name."
Thus, now, anyone who knew of Wyatt Barnes, the Black Dragon Army Centurion, also knew his name.
As soon as Eren Maxwell finished speaking, the Immortal Origin within his body surged forth like a wild horse slipping its reins, rushing out to envelop his body, as if turning into a pillar of flame that soared to the heavens, wrapping him entirely and radiating waves of terrifying aura.
At the same time, the bell‑like eyes with which he looked at Wyatt blazed with raging flames...
It was an extreme fury, as if it could burn all things to ash!
The stubbled face of his was now trembling slightly from anger.
Wyatt was not wrong.
This time, Eren Maxwell had left the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp and hurried toward the direction of Bloodshade City and the Black Dragon Army camp precisely because of him!
Just moments ago, Eren’s younger sister had brought her husband back to the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp, and after weeping and complaining before him for a while, she had made Eren erupt in rage. In front of his sister, he had made a promise:
He said he would capture Wyatt Barnes and bring him before his sister, to be dealt with as she wished!
Then, he had left the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp at once, preparing to head to the Black Dragon Army camp to seize that Black Dragon Army Centurion "Wyatt Barnes" who had crippled his brother‑in‑law.
He had simply never imagined:
Not long after he left the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp, he would run into Wyatt, and that Wyatt was obviously waiting here for him on purpose.
"That’s me."
Wyatt answered unhurriedly, his expression still calm, showing no unusual emotional fluctuation just because the person before him was the Commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon.
In his eyes:
A commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon was not much different from a Centurion of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon.
Because neither was a match for the current him!
"You’re waiting for me?"
Eren Maxwell’s face sank as he swept a wary gaze around, clearly wanting to see whether Wyatt Barnes had brought any ’helpers’.
"No need to look... I came alone."
Wyatt saw through Eren Maxwell’s thoughts at a glance and said indifferently.
"You think I’ll believe that?"
Eren Maxwell sneered, and at the same time his Divine Sense spread out in all directions, patiently probing...
"No wonder they all say that the City Lord of Bloodshade City values our Black Dragon Army’s commander ’Makai Holland’ more... Before, without seeing you, Eren Maxwell, I couldn’t really compare. But judging from what I see now, you really are inferior to our Black Dragon Army commander ’Makai Holland’!"
Wyatt suddenly laughed.
"What did you say?!"
Wyatt’s words were no different from sprinkling salt on Eren Maxwell’s wound. In an instant, Eren Maxwell was so enraged that he immediately withdrew his Divine Sense, glaring at Wyatt with towering fury, a flash of killing intent deep within his eyes.
"Didn’t you hear exactly what I said?"
The smile on Wyatt’s face deepened.
"You’re courting death!"
The smile on Wyatt’s face was incomparably offensive in Eren Maxwell’s eyes. In that instant, he could no longer restrain himself; his body suddenly quivered, and he shot out at extreme speed.
Like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, he pounced at Wyatt!
Swoosh!!
As Eren Maxwell lunged over, the Immortal Origin on his body surged up several levels in succession.
"As expected of a Golden Immortal powerhouse who cultivates a graded cultivation method... Just with the support Divine Ability he used, his Immortal Origin rose by two whole tiers. The effect is no weaker than my current support Divine Ability, the ’Minor Devouring Technique’!"
As Eren Maxwell pounced toward him, Wyatt could see this clearly.
"I heard from Anthony Tucker before... this Army of Silver Sea Dragon commander is a ’Green Day Golden Immortal’! With just a support Divine Ability, he can raise his Immortal Origin in one go to the ’Blue Day Golden Immortal’ level."
While Wyatt’s thoughts moved, Eren Maxwell’s figure had already crossed more than half the distance between them.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
...
Along with a series of buzzing blade cries—
A thick, broad saber appeared in Eren Maxwell’s hand. The moment it appeared, it was enveloped by vast Immortal Origin, erupting into a saber light over ten zhang long, as if capable of destroying heaven and earth!
Wherever that ten-plus-zhang saber light swept past, countless fine saber rays whistled out with it, blooming like a hundred flowers, incomparably dazzling to the eye.
"Wyatt Barnes, my sister said your strength is so great that you’re in no way inferior to the Black Dragon Army’s number one Centurion, ’Jo Ho’... Now, take a strike from me and see!"
As Eren Maxwell’s explosive shout rang out, the saber light on the blade in his hand slashed across the sky, howling toward Wyatt.
Buzz!!
The saber light tore through the air, locking straight onto Wyatt, carrying the force to cleave mountains and rivers, as though to split him in two with a single strike!
"Hmph!"
Facing Eren Maxwell’s preemptive, ferocious strike, Wyatt’s eyes narrowed slightly as he let out a cold snort.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Immediately after, the Immortal Origin that Wyatt had already prepared when Eren Maxwell appeared burst out of his body at once, transforming into thousands of sword rays that converged into a Sword Array, then condensed into a giant sword.
At the same time, Wyatt also produced an Immortal Artifact sword, letting it become part of the Sword Array, which made the massive sword light condensed from the Sword Array’s myriad sword rays grow even more radiant.
Of course, this Immortal Artifact sword was not the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword’ that had been fused into various parts of Wyatt’s body.
Although the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword had lost its Sword Spirit and no longer possessed the might of a Heavenly Artifact, it was still enough to rival a ’top-grade Immortal Artifact’...
Before the final moment, Wyatt had no intention of using the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
The giant sword formed by the Sword Array, at a single thought from Wyatt, seemed to receive its orders; fearless of death, it charged up to meet Eren Maxwell’s ferocious saber strike head-on.
The saber strike, blooming with brilliant saber light, hacked down toward the giant sword.
Eren Maxwell’s cultivation was at the ’Green Day Golden Immortal’ level. With a support Divine Ability that raised his strength by two tiers, plus the attack Divine Ability and Immortal Method contained in this strike, and the fact that his saber was an Immortal Artifact...
The strength he now displayed was a full five tiers stronger than a Green Day Golden Immortal who had not used any Immortal Methods, Divine Abilities, or Immortal Artifacts!
Wyatt’s cultivation was at the ’Azure Moon Immortal’ level. With a support Divine Ability that raised his strength by two tiers, the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins in his body raising it by another two tiers, the Supreme Heart Sword raising it by three tiers, an attack Divine Ability raising it by three tiers, and his Immortal Artifact sword raising it by one tier—
The strength he now displayed was a full eleven tiers stronger than an Azure Moon Immortal who had not used any Immortal Methods, Divine Abilities, or Immortal Artifacts!
And between an Azure Moon Immortal and a Green Day Golden Immortal, there was a difference of six tiers.
Judging just from this, the power contained in the giant sword formed by Wyatt’s Sword Array was actually on par with the power roaring down on him in Eren Maxwell’s saber strike...
However, because Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal were separated by a whole ’major realm’—
In reality, at this moment, Wyatt’s strength was still slightly inferior!
