Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2304: An Inescapable Deathtrap?

Wyatt Barnes chose to temporarily compromise for a very simple reason.

As long as he and Vast Johnson each successfully overcome the tribulation and achieve ’half-step immortality’...

By that time, even if Vast Johnson had the tribulation techniques inherited from the lineage of the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master, it couldn’t possibly threaten him!

After all, by then, he would have achieved ’half-step immortality’.

A strong person at the half-step immortal level is one who has given birth to the unique ’Immortal Origin Force’ of immortals. Their strength is such that, even a Saint Immortal in the Ninth Transformation who comprehends the limits of the world, cannot compare!

"I would like to see... when I achieve ’half-step immortality’, what does Vast Johnson have to compete with me?"

When he looked at Vast Johnson again, Wyatt’s eyes were filled with intense battle intent.

However, after just one glance, Wyatt withdrew his gaze and devoted himself entirely to the imminent ’Ascension Tribulation’, "The Ascension Tribulation consists of eighty-one tribulation lightnings... the later the tribulation lightnings descend, the more powerful they become!"

"It’s not an easy thing to successfully overcome the tribulation."

At this thought, when Wyatt looked again at the tribulation clouds gathered on the horizon, his mood grew somewhat heavy.

"Compromised?"

Archer Stone, the Palace Master of the Giant Spirit Palace, saw Wyatt choose to compromise. Although he found it very normal, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

He had thought there would be a good show to watch...

Unexpectedly, Wyatt chose to compromise.

"If only Wyatt wouldn’t compromise... Vast Johnson would use the tribulation techniques inherited from the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master to kill him, and subsequently, Vast Johnson might also fail the tribulation due to losing those techniques!"

This was the ’result’ Archer Stone most wanted to see.

Although Vast Johnson achieving ’half-step immortality’ was a huge benefit for the entire Human Demon Clan...

To him, and for the Giant Spirit Palace behind him, it was not good news!

As the Palace Master of the Giant Spirit Palace, and since Archer Stone was originally a selfish person, he naturally wished that both Wyatt and Vast Johnson would suffer, or even that one would die while the other failed the tribulation!

"But... doesn’t Vast Johnson worry that Wyatt, after successfully passing the tribulation and achieving ’half-step immortality’, would kill him?"

Soon, Archer Stone thought of this and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

If Vast Johnson were to be killed by Wyatt, the next target would inevitably be him, and the ’Giant Spirit Palace’ behind him!

In Vast Johnson’s view:

Once Wyatt successfully overcomes the tribulation and achieves ’half-step immortality’, Vast Johnson simply couldn’t be Wyatt’s opponent!

"Right! I almost forgot!"

As Archer Stone’s frown deepened, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind as if he suddenly thought of something:

"Wyatt’s ’Ascension Tribulation’ was not brought by himself but was brought by leveraging the ’Ascension Tribulation’ drawn by Vast Johnson..."

"In our Demon Race’s history, although not many have welcomed the ’Ascension Tribulation’ in this way, there are quite a few... however, without exception, they all failed the tribulation!"

At a critical moment, Archer Stone finally remembered this matter.

"No wonder Vast Johnson looked so calm after Wyatt chose to temporarily compromise, seemingly not worried at all that Wyatt, having succeeded in the tribulation and achieved half-step immortality, would threaten his life and safety..."

"It turns out, from the very beginning, he didn’t believe Wyatt could successfully pass this ’Ascension Tribulation’!"

Now, Archer Stone understood everything.

"To think I once viewed Wyatt as a ’life-long enemy’... turns out, he’s just a dying man!"

When Archer Stone looked at Wyatt again, his eyes were devoid of any fear or concern. The way he looked at Wyatt now was as if he were looking at a ’dead man’.

And in his eyes, Wyatt was indeed no different from a ’dead man’.

Just when Wyatt and Vast Johnson stopped fighting and awaited the third tribulation lightning of the ’Ascension Tribulation’ to arrive...

A group of onlookers began to discuss among themselves once more:

"Wyatt’s choice to temporarily compromise is indeed a wise decision... provided he successfully overcomes the tribulation and achieves ’half-step immortality’, the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master absolutely cannot be his opponent!"

"Indeed. Currently, the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master still relies on the tribulation techniques inherited from the lineage of the Palace Master... once he successfully overcomes the tribulation, the reliance he uses for the tribulation will have been used. Even if it weren’t used, it surely couldn’t threaten Wyatt, whose strength has already reached the ’half-step immortal’ level."

"I really don’t know what the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master is thinking... if I were him, I would definitely use the tribulation techniques inherited from the lineage of the Palace Master to kill Wyatt, even if afterwards I lacked those techniques as a reliance, it doesn’t necessarily mean I would fail the tribulation!"

"Indeed. Using those tribulation techniques to kill Wyatt, the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master might not necessarily fail the tribulation... but now, unless Wyatt fails the tribulation, he’s almost certainly facing a dead end!"

"Looking at him now, it’s clear he doesn’t intend to use those tribulation techniques to kill the temporarily compromising Wyatt."

...

Similar discussions spread among the people of the two palaces and six institutes, creating a noisy scene that made the surrounding area seem like a ’market square’.

The people of Sacred Wander Palace naturally heard these discussions.

For a moment, their expressions turned extremely grim.

However, their grim expressions returned to normal when a Deputy Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace spoke up.

Not only did they return to normal, but they also showed signs of excitement!

"In the history of our Demon Race... anyone who relied on others to attract the ’Ascension Tribulation’ to ascend together has inevitably failed the tribulation! After all, the Ascension Tribulation attracted by such people doesn’t originate from their own discovered ’opportunity’; they weren’t prepared to face the Ascension Tribulation beforehand."

These were the exact words of the Sacred Wander Palace’s Deputy Palace Master.

"It seems true... I’ve also seen similar records in an ancient text: in the history of our Demon Race, indeed no one like Wyatt Barnes, who relied on others to attract the Ascension Tribulation, has ever succeeded!"

"How did I forget about this? No wonder the Palace Master remains so calm; he realized this long ago!"

"Haha... so this means that Wyatt Barnes won’t even need the Palace Master to strike personally later, and he’ll be killed by the ’Ascension Tribulation’?"

...

One by one, the elders and disciples of the Sacred Wander Palace discussed among themselves, their faces all coincidentally revealing radiant smiles, their moods lifted from Hell to Heaven in an instant.

Meanwhile, those from other palaces and institutions, upon hearing the Deputy Palace Master’s words, realized they had overthought.

"No surprise, the Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace had anticipated this all along!"

"So this means... Wyatt Barnes can never succeed in the tribulation?"

"Naturally! In the history of our Demon Race, nobody in such a situation has ever succeeded the tribulation... Do you think he could be an exception?"

...

When people from the other second palace and six institutions looked at Wyatt Barnes again, their eyes were filled with compassion—nothing but compassion.

The discussions of the three palaces and six institutions naturally reached the ears of Keer, Sienna Barnes, and Paisley Flores, causing their faces to change drastically.

"Uncle Alvaro... Is this really true?"

Sienna Barnes looked back at Alvaro Jones nearby, her youthful and beautiful face filled with deep concern.

Sienna Barnes was no longer the little girl she used to be; upon hearing the discussions, she realized her father was in a dire and dangerous situation.

Almost at the moment Sienna Barnes finished speaking, Keer and Paisley Flores also directed their gazes towards Alvaro Jones.

They were equally curious.

At this moment, they desperately hoped to hear Alvaro say that the people from the three palaces and six institutions were exaggerating...

However, when they saw Alvaro Jones nod heavily, their hearts sank completely.

Especially Keer, whose complexion turned pale as her heart sank.

"If they hadn’t mentioned this... I would have forgotten about it. In the history of our Demon Race, indeed there has never been anyone in the same situation as the Master who succeeded the tribulation."

Alvaro Jones said solemnly.

"But..."

Seeing Keer and the two women’s faces change drastically, Alvaro hastily comforted them: "The Master, after all, isn’t of our Demon Race! Perhaps he can create a ’miracle’?"

"Miracles might be difficult to create for ordinary people... but for the Master, they aren’t impossible!"

Of course, although Alvaro said this, he didn’t hold much hope in his heart.

Miracle!

Upon hearing Alvaro’s words, Keer and the two women knew he was trying to comfort them, but their expressions still eased a bit, showing a glimmer of hope as they looked at Wyatt Barnes again.

Although the hope was slim...

Nonetheless, they yearned for a ’miracle’ to occur on Wyatt Barnes!

"A ’miracle’ must happen... Brother Leandro has encountered countless ’miracles’ on this journey; this time certainly will be no exception!"

Keer looked at Wyatt Barnes, repeatedly saying to herself.

"Even if no ’miracle’ appears in the end... if something happens to Brother Leandro, I won’t live alone!"

Of course, Keer had already prepared for the worst in her heart.

"Sienna and sister..."

Thinking of her daughter and sister, Keer dared not continue with her thoughts.

At this moment, deep in her heart, her desire for her man to create a ’miracle’ grew stronger...

Not for anything else, but for the sake of her daughter and sister!

"Wyatt Barnes is ultimately doomed to death!"

In the distance, Sean Cloud glanced at his side at Angelo Yellow, sneering.
