Chapter 1849: The Speed of the Golden Crow’s Wings
Due to the unique nature of the Solar True Origin, although Wyatt Barnes is currently only at the ’early Great Saint Realm’, his strength can rival that of a Human Saint Realm novice!
This is precisely because the Solar True Origin in his body can compare to the power within a Human Saint Realm expert. Thus, although he is currently only in the Great Saint Realm, he is already capable of performing ’Divine Abilities’!
"Golden Wings!"
With a silent recitation in his heart, a pair of gigantic golden wings appeared behind Wyatt Barnes.
These wings were entirely condensed from Solar True Origin, gleaming with splendid golden light. From afar, they resembled two blazing suns hanging behind Wyatt.
"According to Elder Fire, as long as I break through to the early Great Saint Realm, with the second form of ’Golden Wings’, I can even achieve speeds comparable to a Human Saint Realm expert of the later stage... Let’s give it a try."
As soon as the thought passed, Wyatt Barnes began to activate the pair of Golden Wings behind him.
The Golden Wings suddenly trembled, then transformed into two streaks of golden light, shooting through the sky.
The next moment, Wyatt had already flown far away, stopping only at the edge of the third layer of the Jewel Tower.
"So fast!"
In that instant, Wyatt was unable to react and found himself already at the edge of the third layer of the Jewel Tower.
One must know, his previous speed was only akin to a typical Great Saint Realm peak Martial Artist, at most slightly superior.
But now, with the second form of the Golden Wings, achieving speeds comparable to a late-stage Human Saint Realm expert, he naturally couldn’t react because the contrast was too great to adapt to.
It was as if a newborn suddenly turned into an adult, unable to adapt in a short period.
"Is this the speed comparable to a late-stage Human Saint Realm expert?"
Wyatt continued to flap the Golden Wings, darting around the third layer of the Jewel Tower.
In the blink of an eye, he had circled the third layer of the Jewel Tower several times, creating a tornado inside the third layer wherever he passed.
Wyatt’s figure also disappeared into the tornado.
"So fast!"
"Insanely fast!"
"This speed... Is just too outrageous?!"
...
Feeling the speed granted by the Golden Wings, Wyatt was excited for quite a while before his emotions gradually calmed down.
Whoosh!
After stopping, Wyatt retracted the Golden Wings, and at this moment, the tornado persisted.
The current tornado was formed by the airflow Wyatt generated earlier. Without continual force, it gradually dissipated, eventually leaving no trace.
Wyatt sat cross-legged in the void, as immense and intricate information emerged in his mind.
This information pertained to the divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’.
At this moment, Wyatt, seemingly meditating, was actually comprehending the divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’.
With his mind immersed, Wyatt seemed to transform into a cross-legged statue, motionless and silent.
Time passed quietly.
A day went by.
Two days went by.
Three days went by.
...
Approximately five months passed before Wyatt, previously in a serene state, showed any sign of movement.
If anyone were to observe Wyatt closely now, they would notice that the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth within a one-meter radius around him was converging towards him at an alarming speed, rushing into his body.
In an instant, the spiritual energy within a one-meter radius was almost completely devoured!
Within the one-meter radius, a vacuum temporarily appeared.
Only when the external spiritual energy refilled the space did it restore to its original state.
"What a refreshing sensation... Is this the ’Minor Devouring Technique’?"
Meanwhile, Wyatt, not having blinked for half a month, opened his eyes, a look of excitement on his face, a hint of gleam in his eyes, "In five months, the Minor Devouring Technique is finally considered ’entry-level’... It proves that this divine ability is well-suited for me!"
Mumbling to himself, Wyatt seemed to boast modestly.
In five months, he had comprehended the ’Minor Devouring Technique’.
If anyone spent five months mastering an advanced divine ability, it would surely astonish many.
Furthermore, the ’Minor Devouring Technique’ is not an ordinary advanced divine ability. It goes without saying, if this news spreads, Wyatt will surely gain fame far and wide!
The third layer of the Jewel Tower equals five months, while only a month has passed outside.
"Including the time spent refining the ’Golden Crow Wings’ and practicing... after eight months outside, it’s time to go to the Dragonsmith Clan for the ’Five Year Pact’!"
At this thought, Wyatt Barnes still felt immense pressure.
Even though he has understood the divine ability, ’Minor Devouring Technique’, the current ’Minor Devouring Technique’ can only devour the spiritual energy within a meter radius, providing little help to him.
The ’principle’ of Minor Devouring Technique is to devour all surrounding force, integrating into oneself so that one’s strength can soar to the extreme in a short time... The amount of devoured force directly affects the strength that can be improved afterward!
Just like the old man he encountered at the final checkpoint of the divine ability remains where he obtained Minor Devouring Technique, who could devour all forces within a large range, directly reaching the limit his body could bear.
With early Middle Saint Realm cultivation, he displayed peak Middle Saint Realm strength using Minor Devouring Technique in a short time!
This is the true power of Minor Devouring Technique!
But currently, Wyatt Barnes is far from reaching that step.
"Minor Devouring Technique devours surrounding force, imposing a burden on the body... My body is originally stronger than a six-clawed Divine Dragon of the same tier! Plus, with my ninety-nine Saint Veins inside, the burden I can bear at the same cultivation level is definitely stronger than that old man!"
The current Wyatt Barnes already has a thorough understanding of ’Minor Devouring Technique’, and what he lacks is further cultivation and understanding.
"If that old man’s body were like mine... back then, he would not only have devoured that little force with early Middle Saint Realm using Minor Devouring Technique! Further, with a body like mine, he could have displayed Great Saint Realm strength in a short time with early Middle Saint Realm cultivation using Minor Devouring Technique!"
This point, Wyatt Barnes, who already has in-depth understanding of ’Minor Devouring Technique’, does not doubt.
It is precisely because of this that he has more advantages than ordinary people when using ’Minor Devouring Technique’, as his foundation is much better.
Not everyone’s body can be as abnormal as his!
"In eight months, you definitely have to go out a few days ahead... which means I have about three years left in the third layer of the Jewel Tower."
Three years, can he break through to mid-stage Great Saint Realm?
Wyatt Barnes cannot be sure.
But he knows he must strive for it!
Moreover, even though he has already understood Minor Devouring Technique, it can only be considered ’entry-level’ and still has a long way to go before it can play a role in actual combat.
In this journey, no matter how difficult it becomes in the next three years, he will make full efforts to go as far as he can!
Also, he cannot drop the Supreme Heart Sword from his grasp. If he can successfully comprehend the mysteries of the third realm in three years, his strength will increase significantly.
"If there is still time, try to understand the divine ability ’Celestial Outward Sword’... Celestial Outward Sword is a high-level sword technique like a divine ability; its power is definitely impressive when paired with the mysteries of Supreme Heart Sword! After all, they are all methods based around the ’sword’."
Wyatt Barnes muttered to himself.
Thus, in the next three years, Wyatt Barnes will be extremely busy, busy to the point that he won’t have time to leave the Jewel Tower.
Three years inside the third layer of the Jewel Tower equates to over seven months outside.
So, even if three years pass inside, those outside see Wyatt Barnes as closed off for less than a year.
And it’s precisely because of the short time that many who care about Wyatt Barnes are quite uneasy.
Lanni Barnes is fine.
After all, the ’Five Year Pact’ was something Destiny made him establish with the Dragonsmith Clan. With his trust in Destiny, in addition to his son showing powerful confidence before him, although he’s still a bit worried, he believes his son can defeat the Emperor End of the Dragonsmith Clan!
Augustine Landon, who is active at ’Azure Cloud Stage’, in his leisure, cannot help but think of Wyatt Barnes and worry a bit for him.
He does not think Wyatt Barnes can defeat Emperor End after eight months!
Precisely because of worrying about Wyatt and wanting to help him, but feeling his own strength is too weak, his cultivation improved rapidly in the upcoming period under immense pressure.
This is something he himself hadn’t expected before.
Pressures motivate the drive!
This phrase suits Augustine Landon perfectly for the upcoming period.
Besides Augustine Landon, there are many worried about Wyatt, such as Christina Lee and Jovie Lee.
Although neither Lanni Barnes nor Wyatt Barnes mentioned this matter to them.
But as the ’Five Year Pact’ drew near, the word spread from the Dragonsmith Clan, about Wyatt Barnes and the Dragonsmith Clan establishing the ’Five Year Pact’.
Of course, it was not widely circulated.
But nevertheless, Christina Lee received the news as the wife of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master.
"In eight months, Wyatt will battle the Dragonsmith Clan’s Five-Clawed Golden Dragon ’Emperor End’, contesting for entry into the Dragonsmith Clan’s Holy Land ’Dragon Washing Pool’? Five Year Pact? Did Brother Lanni himself establish this with the Dragonsmith Clan?"
Upon learning the power of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon ’Emperor End’, Christina Lee went directly to Lanni Barnes immediately, accompanied by Jovie Lee.
"Brother Lanni, how could you establish such a ’Five Year Pact’ for Wyatt? That Emperor End, four years ago, was already at the peak of the Human Saint Realm, and now most likely has broken through to the ’Earth Saint Realm’! Fighting him for the Dragon Washing Pool, isn’t it sending Wyatt to his death?"
Upon seeing Lanni Barnes, Christina Lee spoke with visible discontent and concern.
