Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2143: A Blessing in Disguise

Right now, the other two groups have not suffered any casualties.

However, their group has faced a death!

A death!!

At this moment, not only did Larson Buckingham, Mason Waddy, Righty East, and Frederick Ho’s expressions change dramatically,

even Wyatt Barnes and the others, who reacted a bit later, were shocked as well.

Being the first group to suffer a death meant they were destined for elimination!

And the result of elimination is ’death’.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

Just as someone in Wyatt Barnes’s group died and everyone turned pale, a buzzing noise suddenly erupted through the stone cave they were in.

The sound grew louder and more frequent!

Hearing the buzzing noise surrounding them, Wyatt and the others felt chilled to the bone.

Suddenly.

"Quick, enter the ’Jewel Tower’!"

"Hurry! Hurry!!"

Two consecutive voices exploded in Wyatt’s ears, filled with urgency.

In that moment, Wyatt only had time to recognize Elder Fire’s voice. He didn’t have time to wonder why Elder Fire wanted him to enter the ’Jewel Tower’; he simply willed himself into the tiny ’Jewel Tower’ hidden in his ear.

Even though he knew doing so might expose the existence of the ’Jewel Tower,’ Wyatt couldn’t afford to worry about that.

It was the first time he heard Elder Fire urging him so anxiously to do something!

So, as soon as Elder Fire finished speaking, he willed himself into the Jewel Tower, not thinking of anything else, and didn’t have time to consider other matters.

Whoosh!

Wyatt’s sudden disappearance naturally caught attention, but only Larson Buckingham and Mason Waddy, the two strongest on site, realized quickly that Wyatt had vanished.

In the blink of an eye.

They hadn’t had time to register the thought, and the others hadn’t yet noticed Wyatt’s disappearance.

BOOM!!

With a deafening explosion, the cave they were in suddenly erupted.

An immensely terrifying force swept through, fleeting but enough to turn everyone, including Larson Buckingham and Mason Waddy, into dust.

Against this seemingly invincible force, even the powerful Larson Buckingham couldn’t resist, and was annihilated in no time!

If Larson Buckingham couldn’t resist, the others stood no chance.

However, amid the brief but devastating force that shattered the whole cave and everyone within, there was one special ’particle’ left untouched.

Elsewhere.

Wyatt had just willed himself into the ’Jewel Tower’, hadn’t even steadied himself inside when he sensed a violent shaking, as if something outside was disturbing the Jewel Tower.

Thus, the next moment, Wyatt was ’blasted’ out of the Jewel Tower.

"This feels terrible!!"

Blasted out of the Jewel Tower, Wyatt felt dizzy and nauseated, as if he wanted to vomit. His insides quaked, indicating some internal injury.

Of course, the internal injury wasn’t severe for Wyatt, and he only needed a short rest to recover.

"This..."

However, when Wyatt regained his senses, finding himself standing in an empty space, he was utterly baffled.

The previous ’cave’ was gone.

The group he was with had vanished too.

"What... what happened?!"

Wyatt was dumbfounded, unable to react for a while.

Only because:

As the cave exploded from a fleeting terrifying force, and the others were reduced to dust by that force, Wyatt had followed Elder Fire’s advice, entering the Jewel Tower, narrowly escaping disaster!

The ’timing’ was incredibly precise.

Almost the instant he entered the Jewel Tower, protected by it, that fleeting terrifying force exploded.

The force was so strong, that even powerful beings like Larson Buckingham, a Saint Immortal of the eighth transition, or not-yet-tribulated Saint Immortals of the ninth transition, couldn’t escape death!

Only because it was an elimination formation set by three successful tribulation crossing ’half-step immortals’!

Moreover, it was a very special elimination formation!

Compressing power to explode in an instant!

The force that erupted instantly was nearly equal to the joint full-force strike of those three successful tribulation crossing ’half-step immortals’.

Even for not-yet-tribulated Saint Immortals of the ninth transition, or a single successful tribulation crossing ’half-step immortal’, it was impossible to withstand and survive. Even without dying, severe injuries were inevitable.

From this, it is also known:

The terrifying killing formation arranged by the three half-step immortals, including ’Evan Clark’!

"Quickly seize the ’talent spirit roots’ contained within the lingering soul remnants around you!"

Just as Wyatt Barnes was still in a daze, Elder Fire’s voice sounded again in his ear.

Elder Fire was reminding him to seize the ’talent spirit roots’ around him.

Upon hearing this, Wyatt swiftly extended his Divine Sense, only to find the surrounding void was filled with numerous soul remnants, with the ’talent spirit roots’ within each remnant beginning to dissipate.

"Devour!!"

Without any hesitation, and without considering what the surrounding soul remnants were, Wyatt only knew that if he didn’t seize the ’talent spirit roots’ now, they would soon disappear on their own.

By then, it would be impossible for him to seize them.

"Blue spirit roots?!"

"Another blue spirit root!!"

"Green spirit roots, green spirit roots..."

As he devoured the ’talent spirit roots’ within the soul remnants permeating the surrounding void, Wyatt was immensely shocked.

Because he discovered that among the spirit roots he devoured, two were ’blue spirit roots’, and five were ’green spirit roots’, with even more ’green spirit roots’.

"My talent spirit roots..."

After devouring all these talent spirit roots, Wyatt discovered:

His blue ’talent spirit root’ had undergone a further transformation, barely transforming into ’deep blue’!

The ’deep blue’ spirit root was just one step away from a ’purple spirit root’!

"If I could get another wave of ’talent spirit roots’ to devour, even if my talent spirit root doesn’t transform into a ’purple spirit root’, it can certainly be enhanced to the point of being infinitely close to a ’purple spirit root’..."

Having tasted success, Wyatt couldn’t help but lick his dry lips, his eyes shining with longing.

A moment later, as he snapped back to reality, he remembered the group of people who had been with him in the stone cave, now vanished with the cave...

A belated realization made Wyatt’s face change.

"Elder Fire... I... the ’talent spirit roots’ I just devoured... could they belong to the people who were with me just now?"

Now, as Wyatt asked Elder Fire, his voice had a slight tremble.

If the ’talent spirit roots’ he had just devoured belonged to Larson Buckingham, Mason Waddy, and others, it explained why those ’spirit roots’ were of such high quality.

Larson Buckingham was a ’Saint Immortal of the Eighth Transformation’!

Mason Waddy was a ’Saint Immortal of the Seventh Transformation’!

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, for a person’s cultivation to break through to above the ’Seventh Transformation of Saint Immortal’, they must at least possess a ’blue spirit root’.

Of course, there are exceptions.

In the long history of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, there have been cases of individuals with ’green spirit roots’ breaking through to the ’Seventh Transformation of Saint Immortal’, but such cases are exceedingly rare once in ten thousand years!

"They were their ’talent spirit roots’."

Elder Fire responded with a calm tone.

"Really?!"

Upon Elder Fire’s confirmation, Wyatt’s pupils contracted suddenly, and his body began to tremble violently, his face filled with disbelief, "How could... they... they..."

"The moment I urged you to enter the ’Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower’, they were killed by the power of the killing formation!"

At this time, Elder Fire’s voice came again, "Fortunately, you didn’t hesitate, otherwise you would be dead now... that power had almost reached the pinnacle of worldly power that could be achieved!"

"Even a ’Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal’ who has not yet transcended a tribulation in this worldly plane would be powerless against that power!"

"Even if a ’half-step immortal’ succeeded in the tribulation, in the face of that power, at the very least, they would be gravely injured even if they didn’t die!"

"That power was completely compressed by the killing formation and erupted in an instant, making it extraordinarily terrifying... plus, the killing formation was set up by three ’half-step immortals’, causing the power released in an instant to nearly reach the apex of what is achievable in this world!"

Elder Fire’s words reminded Wyatt of the peril he had just faced.

"However, although that power almost reached the peak achievable in this world, it could only destroy some worldly things, such as ’storage rings’, ’sacred artifacts’, etc... The Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower is an ’immortal treasure’, beyond its power to destroy!"

Elder Fire continued.

Listening to Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt was covered in cold sweat from fright.

So, that was what happened!

"Fortunately... fortunately, when Elder Fire reminded me just now, I instinctively trusted him unconditionally, and thus immediately entered the ’Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower’, successfully evading that terrifying power deemed to be the ’pinnacle of worldly power’!"

At this thought, Wyatt’s heart tightened, and his breath became rapid.

He felt he was so close to ’Hell Gate’ just now...

"Thank you, Elder Fire."

A moment later, as his turbulent emotions slightly calmed down, Wyatt immediately expressed his gratitude to Elder Fire.

"Fortune favors the brave... this time, you also turned misfortune into a blessing."

Elder Fire said.
