CHAPTER 1777: CHAPTER 1777: ADVANCED DIVINE ABILITY RUINS?

"Now, the transaction is over... The path ahead is still something I must walk on my own."

Edward Chase sighed silently in his heart.

With his strength, within the Saint Martial Mystic Realm, every step was indeed difficult.

He might be able to tackle low-level divine ability relics on his own.

But for intermediate and advanced divine ability relics, it was utterly impossible for him to conquer them.

"Why am I thinking so much? Now, I have already obtained a remarkable intermediate divine ability, which is a huge surprise... With my current strength, seeking other divine abilities would be somewhat greedy."

Thinking about this, Edward Chase felt relieved, and his face relaxed into a smile.

He understood.

"Wyatt, you have to strive forward too."

After glancing in the direction where Wyatt Barnes disappeared, Edward Chase turned and left, embarking on his journey as a ’lone ranger’.

Meanwhile, after delving deeper into the marshland, Wyatt Barnes also encountered his first test.

The first test was the four savage beasts emerging from the marsh, blocking his path.

These four savage beasts, when combined, possessed a strength equivalent to the five flying savage beasts at the gate of the previous palace.

They belonged to the same species, coordinating seamlessly with each other.

However, merely four peak Little Saint Realm savage beasts, even with seamless coordination, were not a match for Wyatt Barnes.

Therefore, with a flick of his hand, Wyatt Barnes annihilated them.

"Why is it so quiet?"

After eliminating the four savage beasts, Wyatt Barnes extended his divine sense in all directions but found no disturbance.

Whether in the Liu-He Tower or at the previous palace, after passing the first test, the gates would open wide to welcome him in, allowing him to test himself.

As long as he passed all the levels, he could attain the hidden divine ability relic within.

But now, after defeating the first test’s four savage beasts in this marshland, Wyatt Barnes discovered there was no activity around.

This left him pondering how to proceed with the subsequent tests, how to strive for the divine ability relic within this marshland?

"Hmm?"

Just as Wyatt Barnes was at a loss, his divine sense suddenly trembled, "What is happening?"

Through his divine sense, Wyatt Barnes sensed subtle movements emanating from the marshland around him. The once calm marshland began to churn rapidly, with the turbulence growing larger and larger until it resembled a roaring tempest.

Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!

...

While Wyatt Barnes watched the surrounding marshland with a heavy heart, swift shadows shot out from within it, surrounding him like a swarm of locusts, blocking the light above him.

"These savage beasts..."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also realized that the figures appearing around and above him were indeed savage beasts.

These savage beasts were identical to the four he had previously slain.

"Mid Little Saint Realm, Late Little Saint Realm, Peak Little Saint Realm... and there’s also Initial Middle Saint Realm!"

After activating the ’Heavenly Eye’, Wyatt Barnes extended his divine sense, scanning the surrounding savage beasts. He quickly found that the weakest savage beasts were at the mid Little Saint Realm, while the strongest ones were at the initial Middle Saint Realm.

Moreover, there were not just one, but nine of the latter!

Nine initial Middle Saint Realm savage beasts!

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

"Grunt!"

...

As Wyatt Barnes looked around, he was surrounded by a swarm of savage beasts resembling locusts, estimating more than a thousand of them, "What kind of savage beasts are these? Their horde is so vast."

Wyatt Barnes could tell that the savage beasts in front of him originated from the marshland beneath his feet.

The fact that he had killed those four savage beasts earlier seemed to have incited this savage beast horde.

"Could these savage beasts be the first test of this divine ability relic?"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t figure out why, but this thought suddenly sprang up in his mind, and once it did, it was impossible to dismiss.

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up.

If this savage beast horde was indeed the first test of this divine ability relic, wouldn’t that mean that the divine ability hidden within this relic was even stronger than the ’Six Harmonies Golden Body’ he obtained, and stronger than the divine ability Edward Chase obtained?

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel excited.

As for the savage beasts in front of him, though numerous and formidable, they were, in his eyes, no real threat.

"But... why are they just staring at me without making a move?"

Seeing that the surrounding thousand identical savage beasts hadn’t moved for a long time, Wyatt Barnes was bewildered, unable to comprehend what this horde of savage beasts was up to.

At this point, Wyatt Barnes had the time to closely examine the horde of savage beasts before him.

Honestly, although he had killed four of these savage beasts earlier, he hadn’t examined them closely. Now, with time at his disposal, he took in all the characteristics of these savage beasts.

The savage beasts were humanoid, with bloated bodies and fleshy wings on their backs. Their thick, wrinkled skin covered their bodies, coupled with massive heads, making them look utterly repulsive at first glance.

Among the group of savage beasts, the nine Middle Saint Realm early-stage beasts were the largest, each standing five meters tall.

The weaker ones were only four meters tall.

The even weaker ones were shorter and smaller.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense trembled, and he clearly sensed a powerful aura emerging from the marshland behind him.

This aura was even stronger than that of the nine Middle Saint Realm early-stage beasts!

The Taiyan Sword Bell!

Upon sensing that the aura seemed to lock onto him, Wyatt felt the danger and immediately mobilized the Solar True Origin within his body.

In an instant, golden sword auras formed a layer of defense around his body, resembling the defense of a giant bell.

Boom!

Almost at the moment the Taiyan Sword Bell took shape, a loud noise resounded as a massive figure launched a surprise attack on Wyatt from behind.

Although the ambush was successful, it failed to break through the defense of the Taiyan Sword Bell.

At the same time, Wyatt turned around and saw clearly what had ambushed him. It was a colossal savage beast nearly ten meters tall.

This savage beast looked identical to the surrounding thousand savage beasts.

However, atop this mountain-sized beast’s head was a golden crown, highlighting its extraordinary status.

"Roar!"

"Woo!"

"Grunt!"

...

Meanwhile, Wyatt noticed that the thousand savage beasts surrounding him, originally quiet, were now looking at the crown-wearing beast and roaring loudly, filled with awe and reverence.

"It seems that it is the ’king’ of these savage beasts."

If Wyatt still couldn’t see this, then he truly would have lived his years in vain.

"Middle Saint Realm later stage... This savage beast king is actually at the Middle Saint Realm later stage! If this group of savage beasts is truly the first trial of this Divine Ability relic, then the Divine Ability recorded here must be a very high-level one! Of course, a high-level Divine Ability also means the subsequent challenges will be extremely difficult."

Initially, Wyatt was somewhat excited, but upon reflection, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, sobering him greatly.

If the first entry test is this difficult, can the subsequent challenges be easy?

The answer is obviously no!

"Forget about other matters for now; the urgent task is to deal with these troubles first."

Soon, Wyatt’s attention returned to the group of savage beasts in front of him, which had gathered together to surround him, and even their ’king’ had ambushed him, obviously with hostile intentions.

Just as Wyatt had expected, this group of savage beasts was truly unfriendly.

"Roar——"

With the beast king’s angry roar, the thousand savage beasts that had been idly watching the show suddenly eyed Wyatt with ferocity and pounced at him furiously.

As the thousand savage beasts charged at Wyatt, even though Wyatt had seen many great battles, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge in his heart.

Of course, this did not mean that Wyatt feared them; it was merely an instinctive reaction.

"Do you think you can win with numbers?"

Facing the ferociously charging group of savage beasts, Wyatt’s lips curled into a cold smile.

In the next moment, a hundred-meter-wide area centered around him began to ripple, eventually forming a massive golden light sphere that completely enveloped him.

However, the group of savage beasts seemed fearless and directly charged into the ’Ten Thousand Sword Domain’ that Wyatt had hastily erected.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Within Wyatt’s Ten Thousand Sword Domain, tens of thousands of sword lights whistled through the air, swiftly annihilating the weaker savage beasts. The stronger ones withstood a few moves before being killed, and the even stronger ones could hold on for a while, but ultimately couldn’t escape death.

Very soon, the nine Middle Saint Realm early-stage savage beasts also rushed in.

"I’ve been waiting for you."

Since erecting the Ten Thousand Sword Domain, Wyatt had been coldly observing, merely controlling the domain with his mind. Now, seeing the nine Middle Saint Realm early-stage beasts enter, he slightly raised his right hand.

In the next moment, without any visible motion, he vanished from his original spot.

In a blink, he appeared back in the same spot.

Looking at the nine Middle Saint Realm early-stage beasts, they all fell silently from the sky, completely lifeless.

"Roar!!"

As the nine Middle Saint Realm early-stage beasts died, the beast king outside the domain seemed to sense it, letting out a thunderous roar before also leaping into Wyatt’s domain.

Seeing their ’king’ enraged, the remaining savage beasts charged into Wyatt’s domain with even greater fervor.

But unfortunately for them, their fate was doomed to be extinction.

"What? Do you want to avenge them too?"

Facing the mountain-sized beast king charging at him with bloodshot eyes, Wyatt wore a mocking smile and rushed forward, his sword radiating beams like the blazing sun.
