Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 623: Greed

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Greed

After halting the bleeding with Origin Force, Wyatt Barnes, who had learned his lesson, quickly wrapped his hand in Origin Force and reached in again.

This time, he fetched out three shards.

These three shards, at a glance, do resemble ’realm shards’, except that they are covered with streaks of substantial flame-like aura.

One of the shards was entirely cyan, surrounded by cyan flames that appeared to flicker.

"Wind Profound Mystery shard!"

With just one look, Wyatt Barnes, who had integrated the Martial Emperor’s memory, recognized this profound shard.

Another shard was deep purple, surrounded by shimmering purple flames, within which, one could vaguely see some lightning bolts.

"Thunder Profound Mystery shard!"

Wyatt Barnes felt a stir in his heart, realizing that his earlier guess was right.

The last shard was transparent, emanating a fierce sword intent—it was the ’Sword Profound Mystery shard’.

"These three profound shards, they all are ’Triple Profound Mystery shards’... It seems that when that ’White-robed Sword Emperor’ was alive, he was also an extraordinary person."

Wyatt Barnes speculated quietly.

Three profound mysteries, all comprehended to ’Triple’...

Such comprehension would be considered extraordinary even among many Martial Emperors.

"The harvest isn’t bad."

Wyatt Barnes put the three Profound Mystery shards into his Storage Ring, a bright smile on his face.

However, his expression soon became grave, "I don’t know how Julia, Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold are doing now... Didn’t the White-robed Sword Emperor say that I could leave after receiving the inheritance? Where do I exit from?"

Wyatt Barnes began to look around.

Finally, on the wall of the cave to his side, he discovered a mystery.

On the wall of the cave to his right, there was an extruding ’little stone’ that hadn’t been there before.

Wyatt Barnes had previously missed it.

Wyatt Barnes walked over and touched the little stone, discovering that it was movable.

Immediately, Wyatt Barnes pushed the little stone down.

The next moment.

Rumble! Rumble!

...

The wall of the cave next to the little stone suddenly shook. The next moment, it directly cracked open and collapsed.

Subsequently, a stone door appeared and slowly ascended.

In a moment, another dark passage appeared before Wyatt Barnes’ eyes.

"This should be the exit."

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes lit up, and he walked straight in.

In his hand, there suddenly appeared a flamboyant flame with a purple copper edge, which he used for illumination.

If someone who recognized this flame saw this scene, they would surely be so angry that they’d spit blood.

Using a purple copper-edged flame, a third-grade flame, for lighting, was an absolute waste!

However, Wyatt Barnes did not care about this.

Before long, Wyatt Barnes reached the end of the passage.

At the end of the passage, there was a closed stone door.

Boom! Boom!

Wyatt Barnes knocked on the stone door, realizing it was made of special material. Even if it were Cave Void Realm or Transforming Void Realm warriors trying to destroy it by force, it would be impossible.

"There should be a mechanism here."

Thinking this, Wyatt Barnes began to look around.

Finally, on the wall of the cave next to the stone door, Wyatt Barnes found another extruding ’little stone’.

"I wonder where the path behind the stone door leads."

As Wyatt Barnes thought, he reached out and pressed the little stone.

In an instant.

Rumble! Rumble!

...

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes discovered that not only was the stone door in front of him slowly rising, but a loud noise was also heard from the end of the passage behind him.

"This mechanism, besides opening this stone door, has also closed the stone door at the other end?"

Wyatt Barnes was startled.

At this time, Wyatt Barnes found that the stone door in front of him had been opened, and the ground outside the stone door was also covered with a layer of rubble.

Wyatt Barnes stepped out.

Only then did he notice that the stone door he had just walked out of was also enveloped by a thick cave wall.

As the stone door opened, the surrounding cave wall became fragmented and shattered.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian!"

Just then, a familiar voice reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears.

Wyatt Barnes turned to look, only to find a robust middle-aged man approaching from a distance, reaching him in a matter of moments.

"Echo Reid!"

Wyatt Barnes recognized the man. He was none other than Echo Reid, the first owner of another Jade Sword he had contacted.

Boom!

Just then, another loud noise reverberated.

Wyatt Barnes only then realized that the stone door at the entrance of the tunnel he had just walked out of had closed again.

Echo Reid was startled. He then turned to look at Wyatt Barnes, envy clearly visible on his face, and said, "Elder Brother Ling Tian, I am really envious of you. You were able to enter the third floor of the Sword Emperor’s treasury."

"You didn’t go in?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask.

Echo Reid forced a smile, "I arrived at the end of the second floor when all ten steps were taken... Only ten people could enter the third floor, and because I was late, I missed it."

Wyatt Barnes suddenly realized, recalling that it indeed had been the case.

"This place is..."

Wyatt Barnes glanced around, just now realizing that this was the first floor of the Sword Emperor’s treasury.

Ahead of him, high up in the air, groups of gray, murky fog were condensing.

That place was exactly the ’entrance and exit’ of the Sword Emperor’s treasury located deep under the sea.

The entrance to the Sword Emperor’s treasury was right there.

"Where are the others?"

Wyatt Barnes looked around only to find Echo Reid alone; he couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Like me, six others also couldn’t make it to the third level of the ’Sword Emperor’s treasury’. My guess is, they are still at the second level."

Echo Reid replied.

This time, seven people couldn’t enter the third level of the ’Sword Emperor’s treasury’.

Wyatt Barnes, Karina Hanson, Little Gold, and two little pythons took up five of the ten slots in the third level.

Only five slots were left for twelve people. Naturally, seven would end up empty-handed.

"Why didn’t you stay on the second level?"

Wyatt Barnes asked curiously.

"I already missed my chance to get to the third level, so staying on the second level was pointless. That’s why I came back to the first level. But, Elder Cruz has entered the third level. This trip was not wasted after all."

Echo Reid stated, somewhat excited.

"Why are you excited if he has entered the third level?"

Wyatt Barnes said, his face frozen in confusion.

Echo Reid laughed, "Elder Brother Ling Tian, you probably don’t know... Elder Cruz and I had a discussion before coming here. Whatever we get, we will share equally."

"You mean... he will share half of the treasures he gets with you?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Yes."

Echo Reid nodded.

Wyatt Barnes frowned. Elder Cruz would share half of his treasures with Echo Reid?

Could he be so generous?

He didn’t have much hope.

"Why hasn’t Miss Julia and the others come out yet?"

After chatting with Echo Reid for a while, noticing that Julia, Little Gold and the two little pythons were still absent, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but frown. A hint of worry appeared on his face.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, is the third level very dangerous?"

Seeing the worry on Wyatt Barnes’s face, Echo Reid felt a sudden pang in his heart.

"Not only dangerous, it’s literally a death trap..."

Listening to Echo Reid’s words, Wyatt Barnes recalled his experiences on the third level and felt a lingering fear.

Upon hearing this, Echo Reid’s complexion changed slightly. He worriedly said, "I wonder how Elder Cruz is doing right now..."

If Elder Cruz died in the third level, Echo Reid’s trip would indeed have been a complete waste.

"Ah, Elder Brother Ling Tian is back."

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from a distance.

Following that, Wyatt Barnes saw six people approaching him...

Out of these six, three had previously received his help.

On their way here, these three people, due to their low cultivation, had difficulty withstanding the pressure of the deep sea water with the Origin Force shield on their surfaces. It was Wyatt who asked them to take refuge on the back of the Three-eyed Flame Tiger.

The cultivation of these three was at the ’Enter Void Realm fourth layer’.

Now, their looks towards Wyatt Barnes were somewhat enthusiastic.

The other three people, however, had a trace of greed in their eyes when they looked at Wyatt Barnes.

Though it was deeply hidden, Wyatt Barnes noticed it clearly.

The cultivation of these three was at the ’Enter Void Realm fifth layer’.

It seemed that because of their limited cultivation, they couldn’t make it in time to the end of the second level, missing the ’quota’ to enter the third level.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, did you get anything from the third level?"

Out of the enthusiastic three, one asked curiously.

"Not bad."

Wyatt Barnes responded with a nod and a smile.

"Congratulations, Elder Brother Ling Tian."

The other two immediately congratulated Wyatt Barnes.

However, Wyatt soon noticed that the expressions of the three froze, as if they had suddenly remembered something.

Then, Wyatt noticed that the three showed a ’conflicted’ luster deep in their eyes.

Finally, the conflicted luster disappeared, replaced by ’greed’.

The smile on Wyatt Barnes’s face did not change, but there appeared a cold edge in his eyes.

As he guessed.

These three people, who were initially quite enthusiastic about him, must have received the Origin Force note from the other three and reached some kind of agreement.

As it turned out, Wyatt Barnes had accurately guessed the intentions of the other three.

In a blink of an eye, Wyatt Barnes was surrounded by the six.

"What are you doing?!"

The spectacle before his eyes made Echo Reid’s complexion change as he yelled.

"Echo Reid, this matter has nothing to do with you. Best if you stand aside... otherwise, we will kill you too!"

One of the martial artists at the Enter Void Realm fifth layer, glanced coldly at Echo Reid and threatened.

This guy was one of the three martial artists at the Enter Void Realm fifth layer, who were the first to have greedy intentions towards Wyatt Barnes.

"Hmph! Echo Reid, you should better not meddle... You are also just at the ’Enter Void Realm fifth layer’. Any two of us here in ’Enter Void Realm fifth layer’ can easily kill you!"

Another one added.

Echo Reid’s face turned grave. He knew too well that what they said was true.

If he assisted Wyatt Barnes, it would be difficult for him to escape death.

"Don’t forget about Miss Julia, who is with Elder Brother Ling Tian... If you dare touch him, Miss Julia will definitely not let you go!"

Echo Reid took a deep breath and reminded them of Karina Hanson.

As Echo Reid’s words fell, the complexions of the three who were coerced against Wyatt Barnes changed slightly.

But soon, they gritted their teeth and stood resolute.

Fortune favors the brave...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

They decided to go for it!
