Chapter 978: The Ancestor of the Wynter Family
Sigmund Wynter, a peak Late-stage Hollow Void powerhouse, was sent flying and spitting blood by a single punch from Lachlan.
This scene left everyone present utterly dumbfounded!
It exceeded everyone’s expectations!
For a moment, the sound of people gasping in shock filled the air.
Then came the cries of alarm and concern.
“Patriarch!”
“Patriarch!”
“Patriarch, are you alright?”
Many experts of the Ancient Wynter Family rushed towards Sigmund Wynter, their faces filled with worry and anger.
Stephanie Wynter, Terry Wynter, and other members of the Wynter family, after a brief moment of shock, all let out a long sigh of relief.
Stephanie Wynter looked at Lachlan with eyes full of admiration and respect.
The other members of the Wynter family also felt a surge of pride and excitement.
Ever since they were brought to this Ancient Wynter Family, they were told to return to the family, that they were all of the same lineage.
But the treatment they received was more like that of prisoners.
Coercion, interrogation, intimidation!
Just moments ago, Sigmund Wynter had even threatened to destroy their Wynter family if Lachlan didn’t hand over the Treasure Map and Divine Feather.
At this moment, within the Ancient Wynter Family, Lachlan was their pillar and support.
Seeing Lachlan display such power, sending the patriarch of the Ancient Wynter Family flying with a single punch, everyone felt a newfound confidence.
Their hearts were filled with excitement and a sense of vindication.
On the other side, Jerome Wynter, this “grandfather,” clicked his tongue in amazement and said, “The Seed of the Star Path truly cannot be judged by mere strength levels! My grandson is truly extraordinary!”
Pandora Wynter and Eason Jenkin exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
They knew Lachlan was powerful, but they hadn’t expected him to be this powerful!
“So, do you still want to fight?”
Lachlan’s face bore a cold smile as he walked step by step towards Sigmund Wynter.
Sigmund pushed away the others and looked at Lachlan with deep fear in his eyes.
Originally, he thought this would be a battle where he would easily crush Lachlan. At worst, it would be a closely contested fight.
He had confidently told Lachlan to make the first move, not just because of the Seed of the Star Path protection plan but also because he had faith in his own strength.
However, he hadn’t expected this!
This battle turned out to be… just a matter of one punch.
He had boasted about taking three moves from Lachlan but couldn’t even withstand one.
“The Seed of the Star Path is indeed extraordinary! I admit your strength surpasses mine,” Sigmund Wynter said through gritted teeth.
“Heh… So now, do I have the qualifications to possess the Treasure Map and Divine Feather?” Lachlan said with a hint of dominance in his tone.
Hearing this, Sigmund Wynter looked at Lachlan with an unwilling expression on his face.
He wiped the blood from his mouth and sneered, “Lachlan, even if you can defeat me, do you think no one in my Ancient Wynter Family can suppress you?”
“What do you mean?” Lachlan’s eyes turned cold upon hearing this.
“What do I mean? I advise you to obediently hand over the Treasure Map and Divine Feather that belong to our Ancient Wynter Family. Otherwise, when our family’s two ancestral elders step in, you’ll regret it!”
“You can defeat me, but can you defeat a Powerful Fragmented Void?” Sigmund Wynter’s breath was unsteady, but his expression was arrogant.
Hearing this, Lachlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“So you’re going back on your word!”
Before the fight, they had agreed that if he defeated Sigmund, the Ancient Wynter Family would no longer pursue the Treasure Map and Divine Feather.
But now it was clear they intended to renege on that promise.
“Hmph!” Sigmund’s face flickered for a moment before he snorted coldly in acknowledgment.
“Courting death!” Lachlan’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he regretted holding back his punch earlier.
As he said this, a powerful aura emanated from him as he walked towards Sigmund Wynter.
“Lachlan, don’t be impulsive!” Jerome Wynter quickly advised upon seeing this.
Swish! Swish!
At that moment, accompanied by spatial fluctuations, two figures tore through space and appeared before Lachlan.
These were two elderly figures whose exact ages were indiscernible.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
They exuded an aura belonging to Powerful Fragmented Void beings!
“Ancestors!”
“The two ancestors!”
“The ancestors have appeared!”
The members of the Ancient Wynter Family were instantly filled with excitement upon seeing these two figures.
The two who appeared were none other than Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar, the last remaining ancestral elders of the Ancient Wynter Family.
Ancestor Garraway was at Mid-stage Fragmented Void level.
Ancestor Salazar was at Early-stage Fragmented Void level!
“Two ancestors! Sigmund Wynter is useless, he allowed an outsider to wreak havoc in our Ancient Wynter Family!” Sigmund Wynter’s spirit lifted upon seeing the two ancestors. He showed joy before speaking with grief and shame.
“Greetings to the two ancestors!” Jerome Wynter also respectfully greeted Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar.
The two waved off Sigmund’s words. Ancestor Garraway shook his head and said, “It’s not really an outsider wreaking havoc! Lachlan can be considered half a member of our Ancient Wynter Family.”
Ancestor Salazar looked at Lachlan and smiled faintly. “Lachlan boy, we saw you held back just now.”
“Heh…” Lachlan chuckled indifferently.
Facing the two Shattered Void Realm ancestors of the Wynter family, he remained extremely calm.
Previously, he had dared to fight against Powerful Fragmented Void beings.
Now even more so!
Strength is always the unchanging foundation!
At this moment, having comprehended Divine Beast Wildernesses Fist and mastered the physical divine ability “Gods and Demons Regret Nothing,” as well as Life’s Rules divine ability “Undying Vitality,” Lachlan faced Powerful Fragmented Void beings without fear.
It’s important to note that divine abilities are powerful skills unaffected by the domains of Powerful Fragmented Void beings.
Even Life’s Rules divine ability “Undying Vitality” is no exception.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worthy of being called a “divine ability.”
Lachlan was confident that with his full capabilities unleashed, he could at least remain undefeated against these two ancestors of the Wynter family.
