Chapter 2895: The Death of Maximus Lee

In the residence of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, only a few people realized the sudden change in the sky above the sect’s residence.

"This..."

"Isn’t this... the Monarch Level Divine Ability ’Purple Energy from the East’ of the Xuantian Immortal Sect?"

The Sect Leader of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Daven Buckingham, and the Grand Elder, Cain Iron, stared blankly at the purple figure in front of them, the shock and disbelief on their faces growing even more intense.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes, holding Leilany in his arms, slowly and calmly rose into the air.

As he ascended, terrifying waves of Immortal Origin emanated from his body, forming a purple pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Boom!!

In an instant, the clouds and mist on the horizon trembled, and the world changed color!

The sky above the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s residence turned purple in the blink of an eye...

"Alchemist Barnes has truly mastered the Purple Energy from the East?"

"Isn’t this the so-called ’Purple Energy Space’, a technique that can only be displayed after completely comprehending and mastering the Purple Energy from the East?"

"This Purple Energy Space seems to envelop our entire Taiyi Immortal Sect residence... Even the Twin Immortal Lords of Xuantian Immortal Sect could only cover a tenth of our sect’s area with their combined effort."

"Based on Alchemist Barnes’s current display of strength... he is not an ordinary Immortal King! Even an ordinary Immortal King couldn’t create such an exaggerated Purple Energy Space."

"It’s said that within the area covered by this Purple Energy Space, anyone who has constructed it will render their opponents completely visible!"

...

Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, faces full of shock, discussed fervently, while on the other side, Hunter Swayer, the Top-grade Alchemy Immortal of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and Killian Diaz from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect were left utterly dumbfounded by their words.

"Alchemist Barnes... is he an Immortal King?"

Hunter Swayer was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

"Wyatt Barnes, an Immortal King? And not just any Immortal King? What he showcased now, even the Twin Immortal Lords of Xuantian Immortal Sect couldn’t achieve it?"

Upon hearing Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron’s words and sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Wyatt Barnes, Killian Diaz collapsed in fear, remaining on the ground for a long time, trembling all over.

"How is this possible... how is this possible... how could he possess such formidable strength?"

"Isn’t he just a mere ascender who hasn’t been here for long?"

"Isn’t he just a youngster not even a hundred years old?"

Even if Killian Diaz didn’t want to believe everything before his eyes, he had no choice but to accept it as reality, not a dream.

After a few breaths.

A voice filled with unwillingness and terror echoed in time, and because it was imbued with thick Immortal Origin, it quickly spread throughout the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s residence:

"Purple Energy from the East!"

"The Purple Energy from the East you wield... it’s so powerful! Even ordinary Immortal Kings can’t exert this level of Purple Energy from the East!"

At this moment, everyone inside the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s residence could recognize:

This voice belonged to the Elder Ancestor of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Maximus Lee.

"Look... the purple sky seems to be reverting to its natural color."

In the sky above the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s residence, a disciple suddenly exclaimed as if discovering a new continent.

Suddenly, many people around also looked up at the sky.

It was seen that the vast expanse of purple was retracting at an incredibly exaggerated speed...

"Look! In the center of the retracting purple sky, there’s a figure!"

Quickly, someone else discovered:

In the midst of the shrinking purple sky, there was a figure. Eventually, the purple sky contracted around this figure, revealing the figure clearly to the crowd of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

"It’s a monk!"

"Isn’t... isn’t this the Elder Ancestor, Maximus Lee, from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect? I’ve seen him once before!"

"What? This disheveled monk is actually the Maximus Lee, known to be invincible under the Twin Immortal Lords across the six regions in the southeast?"

...

Before everyone’s eyes, Maximus Lee, enveloped in a deep purple power, appeared extremely disheveled. Not only was his robe tattered, but his aura was weak, as if he had just endured a tough battle.

While everyone in the Taiyi Immortal Sect was eagerly approaching Maximus Lee, surrounded by that deep purple force, their eyes locked onto him.

Swish!

A figure, intermingling purple and white, seemed to appear out of thin air before everyone, near the imprisoned Maximus Lee.

Instantly, this abruptly appearing figure successfully drew the attention of everyone in the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

"Isn’t this Alchemist Barnes?"

"And the girl, Leilany, beside him..."

When the members of Taichi Immortal Sect noticed the recently arrived figure, upon closer glance, they realized it was actually two people, leaning against each other, which made them initially think it was just one person.

At the same time, the members of Taichi Immortal Sect recognized the two individuals one after another.

"Tsk... The renowned Nine-palace Immortal Monarch from the Southeastern Six Regions, hailed as invincible under the Ten Directions Immortal Monarchs of the Southeastern Six Regions, didn’t expect to see him in such a sorry state."

Wyatt Barnes held Leilany with one arm while the other was placed behind his back, gazing calmly at Maximus Lee, chuckling lightly.

"Alchemist Barnes."

Meanwhile, Sect Leader Daven Buckingham, Elder Ancestor Cain Iron, and Top-grade Alchemy Immortal Hunter Swayer of Taichi Immortal Sect also came forward.

"Ancestor!"

Even Killian Diaz, the bhikkhu of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, came along.

Of course, Killian Diaz didn’t want to come; he even thought about escaping just a moment ago...

However, as soon as he made a move, the murderous gaze of Sect Leader Daven Buckingham from Taichi Immortal Sect immediately locked onto him, making him dare not flee, forcing him to obediently follow.

Seeing Maximus Lee again, witnessing him in such a sorry state, Killian Diaz’s face couldn’t help but change dramatically, but he instinctively drew closer to Maximus Lee.

At this moment, aside from Maximus Lee, he had no one else to rely on.

Only near Maximus Lee could he feel a bit safer...

Though only just a bit.

Given the current situation, he had little difficulty discerning that even his Ancestor seemed not to be a match for Wyatt Barnes.

And the reason his Ancestor was so sorry seemed undoubtedly linked to Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt Barnes, I underestimated you."

Maximus Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes and forced a smile, "I thought you were just a lowly ascender, didn’t expect you had such means... Is this not your own strength?"

"You must have used some secret technique, right?"

At this moment, Maximus Lee’s energy was depleted, and even speaking more caused him to pant, evidently severely injured.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost as soon as Maximus Lee’s voice fell, before Wyatt could respond, Maximus Lee suddenly widened his eyes, from which two gray beams shot out.

After the gray beams shot out, they converged and moved to attack Wyatt Barnes.

"Soul attack!"

Seeing this, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, among others who could spot Maximus Lee executing a soul attack, had their faces involuntarily change.

"Overestimating your own capabilities!"

Upon witnessing Maximus Lee execute a soul attack, Wyatt Barnes knew Maximus Lee was gambling on his soul level being far inferior to the xian-level Immortal Origin he showcased, and he couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.

Were it true that he only held xian-level Immortal Origin power due to some secret technique deployed in a short timeframe.

Perhaps, his soul level wouldn’t keep up with the Immortal Origin power.

Yet, the fact was, he hadn’t utilized such secret techniques.

His current strength stemmed from that Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact, endowing both his Immortal Origin level and soul level to transform into Immortal Sovereign level!

Though comparable only to ordinary Immortal Sovereign, it was enough to easily sweep across the Southeastern Six Regions, even the entire frontier!

Whoosh!

Precisely for this reason, with a glimmer in Wyatt Barnes’s left eye, a casually discharged soul attack shot forth, effortlessly shattering Maximus Lee’s soul attack, and continued into Maximus Lee’s body, directly striking his soul.

Instantly, Maximus Lee’s soul utterly disintegrated.

Though Wyatt merely casually unleashed a soul attack, his soul was still at Immortal Sovereign level, whose soul force was unmatched even by an Immortal King, let alone a mere Immortal Lord!

Thus, Maximus Lee’s soul was directly obliterated by Wyatt Barnes’s soul attack.

"The matter of killing you, Wyatt Barnes, is purely my personal decision, unrelated to the Joyful Bhikkhu Sect!"

Before Maximus Lee’s soul got shattered by Wyatt Barnes, he left behind this message.

This message was Maximus Lee’s hurried shout as his soul attack was obliterated by Wyatt Barnes’s, speedily delivered as though fearing not finishing uttering it.

"Is that so?"

After killing Maximus Lee, upon hearing Maximus Lee’s final words, Wyatt Barnes’s lips curled into a cold sneer, noncommittal.

At the same time, as Wyatt Barnes willed it, the imprisoning purple power around Maximus Lee dissipated entirely, and at the next moment his body began free-falling, plunging straight down through the air.

The purple power was precisely the Monarch Level Divine Ability ’Purple Energy from the East’ Wyatt Barnes executed.

Indeed, the reason Maximus Lee appeared so sorry was because Wyatt Barnes had chased him down using Purple Energy from the East, and had imprisoned and brought him back from the brink of escape from the Taichi Immortal Sect’s premises.

"Bhikkhu... Was what he said true?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze immediately fell back onto the bhikkhu of Joyful Bhikkhu Sect, Killian Diaz, smiling faintly as he asked.
