Chapter 2580: Chapter 2580: Bloodshade City, Army of Silver Sea Dragon!

Wyatt Barnes had no idea who the people in silver armor, including Liam King, were, nor did he know why they were taking these newly ascended individuals to report at some camp.

He ascended to the Heavenly Planes not to report to some camp!

He ascended to the Heavenly Planes for a better cultivation environment, for better cultivation resources, to help him elevate his cultivation as soon as possible, so that in a millennium he could go to the Divine Ruin Lands to rescue Keer and his family and friends.

"We are centurions of the ’Army of Silver Sea Dragon.’

In response to Wyatt Barnes’s inquiry, the silver-armored middle-aged man replied in a timely manner.

"Army of Silver Sea Dragon?"

Wyatt Barnes frowned, "Are you a military force?"

"Yes."

The silver-armored middle-aged man nodded, "Our Army of Silver Sea Dragon is under the jurisdiction of ’Bloodshade City,’ and our Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon is one of the three formidable figures under the City Lord of Bloodshade City!"

"Bloodshade City?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow.

"Bloodshade City is the only city stationed in this area and is part of the ’Nine Nether County’... Besides serving as a resting place for passing immortals, Bloodshade City is also responsible for overseeing the Ascension Pools in this area."

The silver-armored middle-aged man continued, "The Ascension Pool you just left is just one of the many managed by Bloodshade City... Ascendants arriving at this Ascension Pool are generally received by the centurions of the two hundred-man teams of our Army of Silver Sea Dragon."

"Reception?"

Hearing the term again, Wyatt Barnes said indifferently, "I seemed to hear just now... you said you were going to take us to some camp to report, but is it reporting to your Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s camp?"

"Correct."

The silver-armored middle-aged man nodded.

"Why report to your Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s camp?"

Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes.

"Because it’s the rule... Ascendants in Nine Nether County are generally received by the military of each city to report to their respective camps, and then they serve under their supervision."

The silver-armored middle-aged man said, "Only those who have served for a thousand years can regain their freedom."

"Serve for a thousand years... to regain freedom?"

Wyatt Barnes’s pupils contracted suddenly, then he couldn’t help but sneer, "What an overbearing rule... Making ascendants serve for a thousand years before giving them freedom!"

"However..."

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze swept over the eight centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, including Liam King, and he said coolly, "Although I have just ascended to the Heavenly Planes... but with just your strength, if I want to leave, I fear you won’t be able to stop me!"

Among the eight centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon present, the strongest were the two ’Blue Moon Celestial Immortals.’

Blue Moon Celestial Immortals, unless they mastered very advanced Immortal Methods or Divine Abilities, were fundamentally incapable of holding him back.

Almost as Wyatt Barnes’s words fell, and the faces of the eight centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon darkened.

A loud voice came from far to near:

"They might not have been able to stop you before we came... but now, if you want to leave, it’s not that simple!"

Hearing the voice, Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes and looked:

In the distance, two afterimages were cutting through the sky, and in an instant, they were not far in front of him, promptly revealing their figures.

Surprisingly, they were also two people in silver armor.

A silver-armored middle-aged man and a silver-armored young man.

However, although these two individuals were also clad in silver armor, on the emblem on their chests illuminated by sunlight, there were two Flood Dragon heads.

Unlike the emblems with a single Flood Dragon head on the chests of the eight centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon.

Invisibly, this exposed their unusual ’status.’

"Centurion sir!"

"Centurion sir!"

... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The eight centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, including Liam King, respectfully saluted the newly arrived silver-armored middle-aged and young man.

"Indeed!"

Having previously sensed the unusual ’status’ of these two, Wyatt Barnes now realized his guess was correct upon seeing the eight centurions, including Liam King, salute them respectfully.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes also noticed two strands of Divine Sense extending from the two newly arrived centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, whistling towards him, clearly intending to probe him.

Upon realizing that the Divine Sense of the two centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon was comparable to the ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal,’ Wyatt Barnes, who was initially indifferent, became even more unconcerned.

What a joke!

Even the soul attacks of a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal, I fear nothing...

Moreover, who could withstand a Divine Sense comparable to a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal?

The Divine Sense of the two Centurions from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon had just entered Wyatt Barnes’ body, approaching Wyatt’s soul, when they were devoured by the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’ floating beside Wyatt’s soul.

Swish! Swish!

Instantly, the faces of the two Centurions from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon changed abruptly.

"Impressive technique!"

The Centurion who resembled a middle-aged man praised Wyatt Barnes.

"An ascender who just soared from the mortal plane to Spiritual Heaven... A mere ’Red Moon Celestial Immortal’, who actually knows such extraordinary means to conceal all his cultivation, is truly rare."

The other Centurion, who appeared as a young man, gave Wyatt Barnes a meaningful look and said.

"What? The two Centurions are here... Could it be you’re here to stop me from leaving?"

Wyatt Barnes said calmly.

Now, Wyatt also realized why the ten-man leader from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon responded so cooperatively to his questions earlier...

It seems they notified their Centurions from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon to come over.

As for why they responded so cooperatively to his questions, it was most likely to delay time, waiting for the two Centurions to arrive.

But they assumed:

That with the arrival of these two Centurions, they could prevent him from leaving?

Naive!

One must know, thus far, the strength he has displayed is still far from his full potential.

"Originally, my greatest weakness was my ’soul’... But now..."

Thinking of the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’ floating beside his soul, Wyatt felt reassured.

Back in the mortal plane, he had once thought:

When he reached the Heavenly Realms, with the means similar to Immortal Methods bestowed by the Supreme Heart Sword, and various Divine Abilities, he might be able to cross borders in a very exaggerated manner to confront adversaries...

But if he were to encounter a powerful Immortal with a soul attack so swift that he couldn’t react in time to cast out the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’, it would bode ill for him!

Yet now, the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’, having mysteriously slipped into his body, floating beside his soul, once again reassured his mind.

Because this also means:

As long as the soul attacks directed at him aren’t beyond the capability of the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’s’ response, he has nothing to fear.

Because those soul attacks are destined not to harm him.

Now, for a soul attack to hurt him, or even crush his soul, killing him, it must first pass the hurdle of the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’.

"What kind of formidable soul attack could even the ’Incomplete Iron Fragment’ fail to resist? In these Heavenly Realms, even if it were a soul attack executed by a Daai Law Golden Immortal, the Incomplete Iron Fragment could probably devour it effortlessly, right?"

Thinking of one origin of the Incomplete Iron Fragment, a strong practitioner from the Divine Ruin Lands, Keer’s uncle ’Ernest Summer’, Wyatt felt reassured.

"Perhaps... even if a Heavenly Emperor’s soul attack aimed to hurt or kill me, it would struggle to pass that barrier!"

With this thought, Wyatt’s eyes brightened again.

Of course, Wyatt was just entertaining the thought for now.

After all, until a Heavenly Emperor unleashed a soul attack on him and it was blocked by the Incomplete Iron Fragment, he couldn’t be sure:

Whether the Incomplete Iron Fragment could truly withstand a soul attack from a Heavenly Emperor...

"Earlier, when I made a move against Liam King, I held back a lot... For instance, the Thirteen Azure Lotus Swords, I only released seven. If all thirteen were unleashed, the strength I revealed in that earlier fight could have soared by two more levels."

"Moreover, I haven’t used the incomplete heavenly artifact ’Seven Apertures Jewel Sword’, comparable to a top-tier Immortal Artifact... While I’m not yet sure what kind of power a top-tier Immortal Artifact can exhibit, it’s certainly not something an ordinary Immortal Artifact can compare to."

"Even without using the Seven Apertures Jewel Sword... at full strength, my power would rival that of a ’Green Day Golden Immortal’ not utilizing Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Methods, or Divine Abilities!"

"If I employ the Seven Apertures Jewel Sword... Even facing a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ not using Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Methods, or Divine Abilities, I might still stand a chance in battle!"

Because he once owned a damaged top-tier Immortal Artifact, the ’Seven Treasures Jewel Tower’, Wyatt deeply understood:

The strength of a top-tier Immortal Artifact is incomparable to ordinary Immortal Artifacts!

Even the most ordinary Immortal Artifact is enough to elevate an Immortal’s strength by one level.

Not to mention top-tier Immortal Artifacts?

"However, if truly facing a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’, the current me wouldn’t even be worth mentioning... After all, once a Purple Sun Golden Immortal makes a move, they certainly won’t refrain from using Immortal Methods, Divine Abilities, or Immortal Artifacts! Because that’s unrealistic."

Wyatt understood this point very well.

"Moreover... even if it’s just a ’Green Day Golden Immortal’ who has mastered ordinary Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, once they possess a very ordinary Immortal Artifact, I might not necessarily be a match for them."

"The most ordinary Immortal Methods in the Heavenly Realms can elevate one’s strength by one level. The most ordinary auxiliary Divine Abilities and attack Divine Abilities can each elevate strength by one level, allowing these Divine Abilities to boost strength by two levels."

"Adding another level from Immortal Artifacts... That strength, even if not equivalent to a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ without Immortal Methods, Divine Abilities, or Immortal Artifacts, would surely be far superior to a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ not utilizing them!"

Presently, Wyatt is still unsure how much assistance the ’Seven Apertures Jewel Sword’ can provide, hence he’s also uncertain:

Whether his current strength is genuinely comparable to that of a ’Green Day Golden Immortal’!
