Chapter 1332: Chapter 1332: Uninvited Guest
"Soul possession is extrely dangerous... Even among ’Saint Realm experts’, only those top-tier existences can’t claim a hundred percent success rate."
Karina Hanson huffed.
"Top-tier existences among Saint Realm experts probably don’t need to resort to soul possession."
Wyatt Barnes said.
"Yes. For Saint Realm experts, soul possession doesn’t hold much significance."
Karina Hanson nodded.
Ordinary people only risk soul possession when facing imminent death.
Since they are bound to die anyway, they might as well try their luck.
However, top-tier existences within the Saint Realm, who already possess endless life, have no need for soul possession... unless they are Demon Cultivators suppressed by the Demon Sealing Monunt, having lost their own bodies.
Like Dominic King, now Emperor Yonah.
"Saint Realm experts?"
Thomas King couldn’t understand what Wyatt and Karina were referring to with ’Saint Realm experts’ and looked completely perplexed.
"You can ask your master about ’Saint Realm experts’."
Karina Hanson glanced at Thomas King and spoke indifferently: "However, apart from that, I hope you won’t tell him about what happened here... Telling him will do neither you nor him any good."
This matter involved the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon and was of utmost importance.
Karina Hanson was very clear about this.
Although the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon was abandoned by the Dragonsmith Clan, since it didn’t die in its infancy, presumably a direct clan mber with compassion had intervened.
That Dragonsmith Clan mber must have held a high status.
If they found out that the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon was dead, and its body was taken over, there’s no telling how furious they would beco.
That was an adult Five-Clawed Divine Dragon.
At the very least, a being of the Saint Realm, capable of causing unimaginable chaos in a fit of rage.
Karina Hanson quickly shared her ’worries’ with Wyatt Barnes.
"This is indeed tricky... We must co up with a foolproof strategy to deal with it. An adult Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, once enraged, is no laughing matter."
Wyatt Barnes racked his brain, trying to find a solution.
Soon, he thought of a plan.
He shared it with Karina Hanson, who agreed, "This is a good plan... that way, we won’t provoke the adult Five-Clawed Divine Dragon."
Even though the power backing Karina Hanson was prominent in the Martial Dao Sacred Land,
they wouldn’t dare to clash head-on with the Dragonsmith Clan.
Killing an adult Five-Clawed Divine Dragon wouldn’t be difficult for Karina Hanson’s backing power... but the problem lies in the fact that killing one would enrage the entire Dragonsmith Clan!
The Dragonsmith Clan’s protective nature was infamous among the Saint Realm experts of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
Outside the deep mountains, enshrouded in clouds, representatives from three major oversea Holy Islands stood levitating in the air, quietly waiting.
The three Vice Island Chiefs from Crescent Island levitated to the side, eyes closed in ditation.
Suddenly, they seed to sense sothing and abruptly opened their eyes.
In just one glance, beyond the cloud-wreathed mountains before them, they saw three figures slowly erge, revealing their true forms.
"How could those two... possibly?!"
The three Vice Island Chiefs of Crescent Island exchanged incredulous looks, seeing the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
It wasn’t surprising to them that Karina Hanson could co out.
After all, the Grand Isle Master had said not to provoke the girl.
But it was sowhat unimaginable for the other two to co out alive.
Logically, they should have been drained of all vitality by the Grand Isle Master and left dead as dried corpses.
Anomalies indicated sothing was amiss!
The three took a deep breath and moved in unison, speeding towards the three who had just erged.
The three who had co out were naturally Wyatt Barnes, Karina Hanson, and Thomas King... Just as they erged, they saw a group from Mist Hidden Island, led by the Grand Isle Master, Lee Don, approaching them.
"What is the outco?"
Lee Don looked towards Karina Hanson with a bright gaze, full of anticipation.
He had great confidence in Karina Hanson.
Previously, with her own strength, she effortlessly eliminated the ’number one’ contender of Coral Island.
Her power seed even greater than Wyatt Barnes’.
From that mont, compared to Wyatt Barnes, the ’number one’ of the Mist Hidden Island competition, he had more faith in Karina Hanson.
Karina Hanson shook her head.
Lee Don was stunned and then looked towards Wyatt Barnes and Thomas King, only to see that they too shook their heads.
"What happened? Could it be... that none of you were chosen by Emperor Yonah?"
Lee Don’s face showed disappointnt.
"Emperor Yonah’s requirents for choosing his direct disciples were too harsh... We were eliminated just in the first round."
Thomas King said with a bitter smile.
At the sa ti, he returned to the side of Shiloh, the Black Tortoise Martial Emperor.
In his eyes, a hint of bitterness was intertwined... His several martial brothers, whom he had spent many years with, were now forever left on Crescent Island.
Most importantly, even though he knew the cause of their deaths, he could not speak of it.
Otherwise, not only he, but even his master, Shiloh, would be implicated.
Wyatt Barnes’ words, he could doubt.
But Karina Hanson’s words, he had no choice but to believe.
Even without Karina Hanson stating the specific reason, he didn’t dare to take the risk.
"Elder Brother Ling Tian, you and Miss Julia have both been eliminated?"
Colin Yorke, the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak, asked in disbelief, sowhat incredulous.
Indeed, it was not just him.
Including Shiloh, the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak, everyone present appeared incredulous, "Even she was eliminated... Who else could beco the personal disciple of the Grand Isle Master of Crescent Island?"
They had witnessed Karina Hanson’s strength.
Not to ntion killing the Grand Isle Master of Coral Island with ’external forces’.
Her own strength, which allowed her to kill the ’first’ contender of Coral Island in a single encounter, was proof enough of her formidable power, surpassing all ninety participants from the three great overseas Holy Islands.
"It seems there’s still hope for us from Heavenly Reef Island."
The Grand Isle Master of Heavenly Reef Island laughed heartily, "Of the eighty-five people who haven’t co out yet, the strongest should be the ’first’ of our Heavenly Reef Island Conclave."
"Yes. It seems that when Emperor Yonah selects his personal disciples, he doesn’t just look at strength alone."
An elder from Heavenly Reef Island who’d co to join the excitent said.
Upon hearing the laughter of the Grand Isle Master of Heavenly Reef Island, Wyatt Barnes glanced at him indifferently and thought to himself, "If he knew that all thirty participants from Heavenly Reef Island were dead... I wonder if he could still laugh."
"What exactly happened?"
The three Vice Island Chiefs of Crescent Island looked alternately at Wyatt Barnes and Thomas King, utterly perplexed about how these two managed to escape.
"Three Vice Island Chiefs."
Just then, a voice reached their ears, startling them and making them look towards the distant purple silhouette.
The person who condensed the voice with Origin Force was ’Wyatt Barnes’.
"Emperor Yonah has successfully absorbed the essence of the other eighty-five people... He asked
to tell you that he will be secluded in the mountains for so ti," Wyatt Barnes continued.
"You..."
Upon hearing this, the three Vice Island Chiefs stared at Wyatt Barnes as if they’d seen a ghost.
He actually knew about the absorption of essence by their Crescent Island Master, ’Emperor Yonah’?
"What? Are the three of you surprised?"
Wyatt Barnes went on, "Actually, today was indeed a close call... Both Thomas King and I almost got drained dry by Emperor Yonah. Fortunately, Julia appeared just in ti to save the two of us."
"Emperor Yonah spared
and Thomas King’s lives in consideration of Julia’s intervention... but he also instructed us not to spread the news of his essence absorption," Wyatt Barnes finished in one breath.
"So that’s how it is."
The three Vice Island Chiefs of Crescent Island, glancing at Karina Hanson, suddenly understood.
They had no doubts about the words of Wyatt Barnes.
Otherwise, they did not believe that both Wyatt Barnes and Thomas King could have escaped.
They knew that their Crescent Island Master, ’Emperor Yonah’, was an existence that stood above the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Although all three of them were at the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor Realm, even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for their Crescent Island Master, ’Emperor Yonah’.
"As for the aftermath, we three will not be involved... Emperor Yonah has assigned you to finalize the matters," the sound of Wyatt Barnes’s Origin Force once again reached the ears of the three Vice Island Chiefs of Crescent Island.
The three nodded.
And so, the matter was resolved.
The three Vice Island Chiefs of Crescent Island did not know that their Crescent Island Master, ’Emperor Yonah’, had been killed, his body occupied by soone else... and they never doubted Wyatt Barnes from the beginning to the end.
The reason they didn’t doubt was due to their near-blind faith in Emperor Yonah’s strength.
Among the eighty-eight people from the three grand overseas Holy Islands who entered the deep mountains, only three lived, naturally causing an uproar.
The Grand Isle Masters of the three grand overseas Holy Islands demanded an explanation from Crescent Island.
But in the end, in the face of the dominant Crescent Island, they could only swallow their grievances.
The event of Crescent Island Master recruiting personal disciples ca to an end.
The people from the three grand overseas Holy Islands left one after another.
However, Wyatt Barnes and his party did not follow the Grand Isle Master of Mist Hidden Island, ’Lee Don’, back. Instead, they stayed behind for now.
Colin Yorke took everyone from Mystic Profound Peak with Lee Don as they departed.
Thomas King, joined Shiloh and left too.
As far as he was concerned, matters had been resolved... What he needed to do next was to forget what had happened and act as if nothing ever occurred.
But for Wyatt Barnes, things were far from over.
"Now, I just wait for him to completely take over Emperor Yonah’s body and beco the Master of Crescent Island," Wyatt Barnes muttered to himself.
In the following period, Wyatt Barnes was not idle.
Besides spending ti with the two young girls and occasionally dealing with the three youngsters, he devoted his ti to cultivating.
As for Karina Hanson, she was also cultivating.
She was working towards breaking through to the Transcending Mortal Realm; now, she was but a step away from it.
Ti flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
One day, Wyatt Barnes sat cross-legged above the serene sea, holding a ’Holy Stone’, cultivating alone. His ’Nine Dragons War Sovereign’ ’Divine Dragon Transformation’ technique was running, and his cultivation level was improving every mont.
Whoosh!
At so point, an aged figure appeared in the high sky not far away.
The unexpected visitor was none other than an old man with bloodshot eyes and a hateful expression.
