Chapter 718: Sacred Artifact? Doubled Amplification?

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Sacred Artifact? Doubled Amplification?

If Wyatt Barnes was just an ordinary practitioner entering the Void Realm, he wouldn’t necessarily think this deeply.

His ability to theorize so much, with well-grounded speculation, is solely due to the fusion of the recurring Martial Emperor’s memories from two lifetimes in his mind.

Moreover, he had twice encountered powerful souls attempting to destroy his own and seize his body.

So, nobody understood spiritual possession better than Wyatt Barnes.

"According to the recurring Martial Emperor’s memory, if a soul is powerful enough, it can directly destroy another’s soul and occupy their body, effectively replacing them."

"However, if a soul has suffered a significant blow and is only left to be a trace of what it was before, it would struggle to destroy another soul and seize their body."

"Nevertheless, though it could not take full control of another’s body, temporary possession would still be possible..."

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The more he pondered, the more he felt his speculation was correct.

"Also, when I first saw the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, it was sealing a powerful soul...that is to say, the Demon Sealing Monument can seal souls!"

"When black flame marks appeared on Marshall Tyler’s forehead, it should have been when his body was temporarily possessed by another soul... I previously wondered why the Demon Sealing Monument became restless after black specks appeared on Marshall Tyler’s forehead. Why did it actively attack him when it left the Storage Ring after attacking Marshall Tyler until the black flame mark on his forehead disappeared."

"Now that I think about it, it fits perfectly with my guess... the Demon Sealing Monument was targeting another independent soul within Marshall Tyler. When that independent soul momentarily occupied Marshall Tyler’s body, it would provoke the Demon Sealing Monument. Once it hid, the Demon Sealing Monument became helpless against it."

Wyatt Barnes’s train of thought was gradually becoming clearer.

"Apparently, Marshall Tyler’s encounter was indeed extraordinary... there’s actually a formidable person’s soul lurking within his body!"

According to the recurring Martial Emperor’s memory, Wyatt Barnes knew well.

A soul can survive outside a body, not only under certain circumstances, but also when it is at least a ’Martial Emperor Realm’ soul.

In other words, the other soul inside Marshall Tyler was once a powerful Martial Emperor!

"That Martial Emperor’s soul should be just a trace of what it was...otherwise, Marshall Tyler’s body would have been completely occupied by him long ago."

On this point, Wyatt Barnes could be completely sure.

"A mere fragment of a soul could, after occupying Marshall Tyler’s body, improve his strength by four levels in a short period of time... it even spanned a vast realm! Even the recurring Martial Emperor at his peak may not be able to achieve this."

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brows.

"According to the memories of the recurring Martial Emperor, whether it was his first lifetime or his second, he was the unmatched number one powerhouse standing on the peak of the Cloud Skies Continent!"

"It’s possible that in the boundless ocean, there does indeed exist entities more powerful than the recurring Martial Emperor... The recurring Martial Emperor had once guessed that it wouldn’t be surprising if there were more powerful entities than him in the boundless ocean."

Perhaps, there are always mountains beyond mountains.

Standing at the pinnacle of the Cloud Skies Continent doesn’t mean standing at the pinnacle of the whole world.

Except for the Cloud Skies Continent, there is also the endless mysterious ocean.

Beyond the Cloud Skies Continent, many powerful people are likely hiding in the depths of the endless ocean.

"Could it be that the Martial Emperor within Marshall Tyler actually comes from an ocean beyond the Cloud Skies Continent?"

Wyatt Barnes made another guess.

Lying on the bed, Wyatt Barnes looked up at the ceiling, his eyes flashing, "The Demon Sealing Monument seems to inhibit the soul of the Martial Emperor...that means, as long as the Demon Sealing Monument stays with me for one day, the soul of the Martial Emperor within Marshall Tyler can’t help him against me."

One has to say, confirming this point made Wyatt Barnes feel exhilarated.

To be honest, facing Marshall Tyler today was beyond his expectations, but he didn’t want to lose to him either.

Just before he was about to lose to Marshall Tyler, before he took out the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, he felt bitter because he was about to be trampled by a former defeated opponent.

This was a sight he didn’t want to see. It vexed him.

Fortunately, he took out the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in time, turning the tables on defeat.

The palace, in the glittering golden throne room.

"Uncle, it’s quite late, is there something urgent bringing you and your apprentice to us?"

The Great Turdo Dynasty emperor looked at the old man and young man who walked into the hall, asking slowly.

"I’m not sure what’s the matter...but Marshall Tyler said we should discuss it when we met."

Said the old man.

"Marshall Tyler, have you run into any difficulties? Whatever it is, just say it... as long as it’s within the Imperial Family’s means, we will definitely help you handle it well."

The emperor warmly said to Marshall Tyler.

Marshall Tyler raised his eyebrows.

After today’s ’Dynasty Martial Competition’, he found that most of the people in the palace have changed their attitude towards him, including the current emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

Of course, he knew that the reason behind all this was his displayed strength and value in the ’Dynasty Martial Competition’.

His value was enough for the emperor to value him and for the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty to value him.

"Your Majesty, it’s not that I’ve encountered any difficulties, but rather some things concerning the interests of the Imperial Family that I need to get off my chest."

Marshall Tyler said with a smile.

Matters concerning the interests of the Imperial Family?

Just six words managed to whet the appetites of the emperor and the old man in black.

"Go on."

Directed the Emperor.

"Yes."

Marshall Tyler nodded, "Your Majesty, Master... Today, the key to Wyatt Barnes defeating me was that broken piece of the stele. You must have seen it, right?"

The Emperor and the elder both nodded in agreement.

Today, what they found most unforgettable was the moment when Wyatt Barnes was about to be defeated by Marshall Tyler, then suddenly turned defeat into victory.

And the reason why Wyatt Barnes could turn defeat into victory was due to that seemingly ordinary broken stele.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard for them to believe.

That such an ordinary stele could break Marshall Tyler’s ’secret technique’, becoming the key to Wyatt Barnes’ victory.

Even now, they were still full of curiosity about the stele in Wyatt Barnes’ hand, wondering what secrets were hidden in something that seemed so ordinary.

After this ordeal, they naturally wouldn’t naively believe that it was just a regular stele.

What a joke!

If it was just an ordinary stele, could it have helped Wyatt Barnes win first place in the Great Turdo Dynasty’s martial competition?

"I wonder if Your Majesty and Master would be interested in the details of that stele?"

Marshall Tyler slowly started, arousing the Emperor and the elder’s interest.

"You know?"

The Emperor’s eyes lit up, unable to resist asking.

Though the elder did not speak, he was tightly staring at Marshall Tyler, obviously waiting for his answer.

Marshall Tyler nodded, and then continued, "It is a ’Holy Artifact’ above spiritual artifacts... These Holy Artifacts, no longer only amplify the power by a certain amount, but are more about various applications."

"Apart from amplifying power, Holy Artifacts also possess various marvelously powerful abilities."

Marshall Tyler paused here.

"Holy Artifact?"

The Emperor and the elder looked confused upon hearing these words. This was the first time they had heard of the existence of ’Holy Artifacts’.

However, one thing was clear to them.

That was,

Holy Artifacts were existences that stood above spiritual artifacts.

"Marshall Tyler, how did you come to know all this?"

The elder asked in a deep voice.

Marshall Tyler explained, "Master, I suppose you’re curious about why my cultivation has improved so rapidly... Actually, all this stems from a ’fortuitous encounter’ I had some time ago. In that encounter, I learned many things unknown to me before, inclusive of those ’Holy Artifacts’."

"Fortuitous encounter?"

The Emperor and elder exchanged glances, nodding their heads.

They had long guessed that Marshall Tyler must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter to possess his current astonishing cultivation.

Otherwise, surpassing Hal Buckingham, let alone Matteo Buckingham, would be impossible.

"Are you saying that the broken stele in Wyatt Barnes’ hand is actually a ’Holy Artifact’?"

The Emperor’s eyes shone brightly, his breathing becoming somewhat hurried.

"Yes."

Marshall Tyler nodded, and then added, "Your Majesty, you have experienced today the ’Holy Artifact’ in Wyatt Barnes’ possession... In addition to being an attack artifact, it also has the ability to restrain all kinds of secret techniques. It is for this reason that I was defeated by him today."

"As for attack artifacts, if blended with Origin Force, they typically amplify power by ’double’, and are superior to ’Grade One Spiritual Artifacts’!"

Marshall Tyler said everything in one breath, his eyes revealing a trace of nervous anticipation.

Now, he was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Whether or not the fish would bite, he was uncertain, hence the nervousness.

"Attack Artifact? Doubling power?"

Hearing Marshall Tyler’s words, the Emperor couldn’t help but gasp, "And it can restrain all kinds of secret techniques? How on earth did Wyatt Barnes get his hands on such a sky-defying ’Holy Artifact’?"

Murmuring his thoughts out loud, the Emperor’s brows furrowed slightly, a hint of greed flickering in his eyes.

"Marshall Tyler, this isn’t something to joke about... Are you sure?"

The elder sought further confirmation.

"Master, what I said is of course true."

Marsha Tyler replied immediately.

Even though the Demon Sealing Monument in Wyatt Barnes’ hand was not complete, it was still a part of the super Holy Artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’. Fusing it with Origin Force and amplifying the power by ’double’ would be no difficult feat.

It should be known that even the small piece of the ’Demon Sealing Monument Shard’ in his possession could amplify power by ’double’ when intentionally fused with Origin Force.

Of course, in crowded places, he dared not casually use it.

Anything that amplified power by ’double’, even if it was just a small piece of stele, was enough to arouse any warrior’s covetousness.

Although he had the help of the ghost flame, it provided limited help due to his low cultivation level.

So, he had no choice other than innocently putting the Demon Sealing Monument Shard into his storage ring.
