Chapter 2578: Chapter 2578: The Terrifying Ascender

"Gravity Prison!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Facing this ascender who has just ascended to Spiritual Heaven, Liam King not only used his auxiliary divine ability ’Giant Physique’, but also his attack divine ability ’Gravity Prison’?"

"Such a grand display against an ascender who has just ascended to Spiritual Heaven... Is it necessary?"

...

The other seven silver-armored figures were stunned to see Liam King, when confronting Wyatt Barnes, not only use an auxiliary divine ability but also an attack divine ability.

They were completely confused:

Why would Liam King, confronted with an ascender who has just arrived in Spiritual Heaven, assume such a ’facing a great enemy’ stance?

The reason for their confusion was because they hadn’t yet realized:

The myriad sword lights hovering around Wyatt Barnes were not something a newly ascended being to the celestial planes could conjure.

Liam King was so cautious precisely because he noticed the unusual nature of the myriad sword lights around Wyatt Barnes.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Deafening roars suddenly resounded, ear-splitting.

It was the divine ability ’Gravity Prison’ unleashed by Liam King, intensifying the gravity, pressing down on Wyatt Barnes as if to crush him completely.

Buzz!

As Liam King intensified the effect of ’Gravity Prison’ on Wyatt Barnes, he, having transformed into a giant using the auxiliary divine ability ’Giant Physique’, was not idle.

With a raise of his hand, Immortal Origin force burst forth, transforming into a sharp blade light.

This blade light, from afar, appeared like a ’giant blade’.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

As a series of humming blade sounds arose.

Liam King raised his hand, unleashing an exquisite blade technique.

Countless blade lights radiated from the ’giant blade’ in his hand, as if transforming into an army, surging forth with thunderous roars, assailing Wyatt Barnes trapped within the Gravity Prison.

Countless blade lights shot forth, targeting Wyatt Barnes from all kinds of angles, seemingly intent on tearing him to shreds.

But, upon closer inspection:

Though numerous, the blade lights were aimed at Wyatt Barnes’s right arm and right leg, clearly intending to sever an arm and a leg!

"Even using an Immortal Method?"

"He’s going all out... Does this ascender who just came to Spiritual Heaven really warrant such a grand display from him?"

"Isn’t he being overly cautious?"

...

Seeing Liam King not only use two divine abilities but also an Immortal Method, the seven silver-armored individuals couldn’t help but shake their heads again.

They felt Liam King was making mountains out of molehills.

Facing just an ascender, Liam King, an ’Azure Moon Immortal’, used his full strength!

Now, they all thought Liam King was a bit diminished.

"Liam King’s overall strength... far surpasses the ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’ of the mortal realm!"

As Liam King went all out, while the seven silver-armored individuals felt he was making a fuss over nothing, Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes facing Liam King’s means.

If Liam King hadn’t used this final Immortal Method-level blade technique, his strength would have been comparable to the ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’ of the mortal realm.

But now, with this blade technique, his strength surpassed the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal, even reaching the level of a lower-tier ’Golden Immortal’ in the celestial planes without using any Immortal Methods or divine abilities!

As the myriad blade lights from Liam King’s technique burst into the Gravity Prison, about to sever Wyatt Barnes’s arm and leg:

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Sword Array!"

"Thirteen Lotus Swords!"

With a mere thought, he unleashed the Supreme Heart Sword’s most powerful technique and the attack divine ability ’Thirteen Lotus Swords’.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

In an instant, the myriad sword lights around Wyatt Barnes’s body radiated brilliantly, forming a Sword Array at an incredibly exaggerated speed, carrying seven shadows, rushing forth aggressively!

In the Thirteen Lotus Swords, Wyatt Barnes only used the first seven swords.

Feeling that to deal with Liam King, the latter few swords weren’t necessary...

Boom!!

Soon, the Sword Array and its haunting shadows converged, radiating ever more dazzling brilliance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

As the sword whistling sounded again, countless sword lights composing the Sword Array further surged, instantly elevating the power of the Sword Array to another level.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Just as Liam King and seven others clad in silver armor were stunned by Wyatt Barnes’ sudden burst of power, Wyatt’s Sword Array, carrying an overwhelming force, effortlessly shattered the gravity prison that enveloped him.

The gravity prison had been menacingly targeting Wyatt Barnes earlier.

But now, in front of Wyatt’s Sword Array, it was utterly vulnerable and was effortlessly destroyed.

During this process, Wyatt’s Sword Array also met Liam’s Immortal Method-level blade technique, and despite facing some resistance, swiftly gained the upper hand and successfully destroyed it!

"No... impossible!!"

Seeing Wyatt’s Sword Array, as if it were a frenzy beast, decimate all of his full-force attacks, Liam King’s expression changed drastically.

His eyes widened, filled with nothing but disbelief.

Earlier, he had vaguely sensed that Wyatt’s strength was not simple.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cautiously used full strength.

But he never dreamed:

Even with his full strength, he was no match for the ascendant who had just flown to Spiritual Heaven!

"No——"

Seeing Wyatt’s Sword Array not slowing down, approaching like a specter while he couldn’t mobilize his Immortal Origin to defend, Liam’s pupils shrank, and despair appeared on his face.

Swish!

Thud!

"Ah——"

A sound like something being severed and shredded accompanied a heart-wrenching scream, shocking the seven silver-armored individuals who had just snapped back to reality.

The next moment, they were horrified to see:

One of Liam King’s arms and a leg were directly severed, shredded into a rain of blood, falling lightly and staining the ground.

Scattered drops of blood fell like petals of red roses, dazzling and striking.

However, at this moment, aside from Wyatt Barnes himself, no one saw this with appreciative eyes...

"You should be grateful you didn’t try to kill me earlier... otherwise, you would already be a corpse now!"

Wyatt’s cold voice suddenly rang out, jolting Liam King and the others.

Stopping the blood from his severed arm and leg, Liam King looked at Wyatt Barnes again, a look of gratitude appearing on his pale face.

Fortunately, he remembered the rules stating not to recklessly kill ascendants, or he might have attacked this purple-clad ascendant in a moment of anger...

Had he attacked the purple-clad ascendant, he wouldn’t be alive now.

"Who... who exactly are you?!"

When Liam King looked at Wyatt Barnes again, he was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

It was the first time he had seen an ascendant who had just become a ’Heavenly Immortal’ with such terrifying power...

"Is he really just a ’Heavenly Immortal’?"

Although the seven silver-armored individuals knew this Ascension Pool was for half-step immortals, upon witnessing Wyatt’s prowess, they couldn’t help but extend their Divine Sense to probe Wyatt’s cultivation.

"Hmm?"

Seven powerful Divine Senses stretched out, making it difficult for Wyatt not to notice, "Their Divine Senses... five of them are akin to a Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal’s Divine Sense. The other two are akin to an Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal’s Divine Sense."

Although he noticed these seven probing Divine Senses, Wyatt remained indifferent when facing their queries.

Even if they confirmed he was merely an ’inferior Heavenly Immortal’ ascendant and employed soul attacks, he could completely use that mysterious ’fragmented iron piece’ to resist their soul attacks.

These seven were evidently on par with Liam King, with similar cultivation.

They hadn’t reached the ’Golden Immortal’ realm.

With their level of cultivation, Wyatt was confident he could promptly use the ’fragmented iron piece’ to fend off their soul attacks.

"Hmm? Where is that iron piece?"

Just as Wyatt instinctively reached into his robes, his face suddenly changed drastically.

He suddenly remembered:

The robe he originally wore was destroyed during the ascension.

"Could it be... during my ascension, when my robe was destroyed, the fragmented iron piece also got lost in the mortal realm?"

Upon this thought, Wyatt’s face turned extremely grim.

Before his ascension, aside from carrying the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven Apertures Exquisite Sword,’ which fused into his body, he only took that fragmented iron piece.

He didn’t carry anything else.

He recalled casually tucking that fragmented iron piece into his collar.

This was because he couldn’t bring the mortal realm’s Storage Ring to the Heavenly Realm.

At that time, he hadn’t considered:

His clothing was also from the mortal realm and couldn’t be taken to the Heavenly Realm...

Of course, he hadn’t thought:

During ascension, he would lose consciousness and black out!
