Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 988: Entering the Palace

Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Entering the Palace

"Indeed, since that Martial Emperor left such a place, and his body is inside...logically, he wouldn’t prevent us from entering."

Many people agreed.

"Hm?"

Just as everyone was at a loss regarding the ’Killing Array’ enveloping the palace before them, Wyatt Barnes extended his spiritual power and noticed something.

He discovered.

After the disciple from the Blade and Sword Sect was killed by the ’Killing Array’ enveloping the palace, the ’Killing Array’ seemed to have fulfilled its purpose, gradually retracting and then dissipating completely.

"Could it be... that the ’Killing Array’ set up by the Martial Emperor outside the palace only requires a blood sacrifice to break it?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, silently speculating.

Blood sacrifice to break the array, wasn’t unfamiliar to him who had integrated the memories of a reincarnated Martial Emperor.

As long as the Inscription Master who set up the ’Killing Array’ intended it, the array could be designed to be broken by a blood sacrifice, and would disengage automatically if someone died under it.

"Fortunate young ones, welcome!"

Just as Wyatt’s thoughts shifted, a voice, both familiar and strange, reached everyone’s ears, causing their expressions to slightly tighten.

"After the ’Killing Array’ was broken, a ’Sound Gathering Array’ was activated!"

Wyatt was the first to detect the nuances with his spiritual power.

"It’s the voice of that Martial Emperor!"

Suddenly, the group of young powerhouses recognized whose voice it was. They had heard it several times since entering the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure’.

Soon, the voice of the Martial Emperor continued from within the ’Sound Gathering Array’, "Blood sacrifice completed, ’Killing Array’ broken... Fortunate young ones, you may enter."

The voice of the Martial Emperor contained no emotion, utterly cold.

"Blood sacrifice completed?"

Hearing the words of the Martial Emperor, the group of young powerhouses first paused, then quickly realized what had happened, their expressions changing.

"So it means... it was that disciple from the Blade and Sword Sect who broke the ’Killing Array’ with his own life for us?"

"Listening to the words left by that Martial Emperor, it’s clear a life must be sacrificed to break the ’Killing Array’ through a blood sacrifice! Luckily I didn’t rush in just now, or the person sacrificed might have been me."

"It’s too cruel! It requires someone’s life to activate the ’Killing Array’ outside this palace."

"Perhaps, there are even greater dangers inside the palace."

...

The young powerhouses present discussed among themselves, their brows filled with apprehension—apprehension about the palace left by the Martial Emperor, and the possible dangers inside.

Even Camden Taylor and Qadir Adams refrained from rash actions after hearing the message from the Martial Emperor.

"Let’s go."

Wyatt Barnes gave Winnie Romero a slight smile, then called out to Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham, nodded to Brady afterwards, and took the lead diving down.

Winnie Romero closely followed; she trusted Wyatt unconditionally.

As long as Wyatt was by her side, she feared neither blades nor seas of fire.

In her view.

Even if death came, as long as she could die beside her beloved, she would have no regrets in this life.

"Let’s go!"

This time, Brady Yellow and the others did not hesitate; they closely followed Wyatt and Winnie as they moved.

Wyatt descended from the air, using his spiritual power to lead the way towards the grand palace gates, arriving in front of the massive gates in an instant.

Wyatt stood in front of the gates, extending both hands and pressing against them, then pushing hard!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Suddenly, the gates slowly opened, emitting a majestic aura.

"Go!"

After opening the gates, Wyatt called to his four companions, taking the lead and jumping in.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Winnie and the others followed Wyatt, their figures quickly disappearing behind the still-opening gates, completely vanishing from the sight of those outside.

"They’re okay!"

Suddenly, many people’s eyes brightened.

"Let’s go in too."

Demetrius Nangle raised an eyebrow and, along with Jaxx Nangle, soared into the air, following through the opened gates into the palace.

"Go!"

Flame Graham and Sorrow, along with the surviving disciples from the Heartbreak Sect and Cloud Sky Temple, followed one by one.

Then, Rey Jones, Camden Taylor, and Qadir Adams, each leading the disciples from the Impermanence Sect and the North Nether Sect, also entered.

Whoosh!

Wyatt was the first to enter the palace.

As soon as he entered, his spiritual power detected waves of ’Inscription Arrays’ emanating densely from within.

Among them, one ’Inscription Array’ almost covered the essential ’Earth’ and ’Sky’ zones.

"Illusionary Array!"

Wyatt halted in his steps, murmuring to himself while his expression turned solemn, because the Inscription Array he had just detected was this ’Illusionary Array’.

To enter the palace, one must pass through it!

Once inside the ’Illusionary Array’, one would fall into an ’illusion’, and where one would end up after passing through the ’illusion’ was beyond his control.

"An illusionary formation?"

Following closely by Wyatt Barnes’ side, Winnie Romero and her three companions heard Wyatt’s murmured words and couldn’t help but be startled.

They had no doubts about what Wyatt said.

"Yes, it’s an illusionary formation,"

Wyatt nodded gravely, "This ’Illusion Array’ has no lethal power. Like the one we encountered earlier, its only purpose is to separate us, allowing us to search for treasures within this palace on our own."

An Illusion Array is a shortened term for ’illusionary formation.’

"To enter the palace, we must pass through it... so, I’m afraid the four of us will have to part ways here again."

Wyatt said.

"What’s with that Martial Emperor powerhouse always trying to separate us... I wanted to stick with you and benefit some more,"

Brady Yellow looked at Wyatt with some displeasure.

"How would I know what he’s up to?"

Seeing Brady Yellow complain to him, Wyatt was momentarily speechless and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Then... everyone must be careful."

Brian Graham said.

"Yes,"

Walter Simmons nodded.

"Winnie,"

Wyatt turned to Winnie Romero by his side, his face serious as he gathered his Origin Force, "Unless absolutely necessary, don’t activate or use the ’Fire Mystery’! Otherwise, the power of the ’Spirit of Fire’ within you will surely act up, and it could endanger your life."

"Yes,"

Winnie Romero, hearing the concern in Wyatt’s words, showed a rarely seen smile that could bewitch all beings, causing Wyatt to be momentarily spellbound.

Realizing Wyatt was staring at her, a blush appeared on Winnie’s pretty face, deep enough to seem as if blood would drip, full of shyness.

Wyatt then awkwardly averted his gaze, embarrassedly touching his nose before changing the subject, "You guys go ahead."

"Let’s go! To find that Martial Emperor’s corpse! If I can find it, then I’m made,"

Brady Yellow shouted excitedly and leaped forward.

Almost at the same time as Brady Yellow leaped, his figure was enveloped by spontaneously appearing black mist and vanished from Wyatt and the others’ sight, officially activating the ’Illusion Array.’

"Wyatt Barnes, I’m going in first,"

Walter Simmons called out to Wyatt before entering the Illusion Array.

Immediately afterward, Brian Graham followed suit.

"Brother Barnes, be careful too,"

Winnie Romero spoke to Wyatt, and after receiving his acknowledgment, she then entered the Illusion Array.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, two figures appeared beside Wyatt, causing him to glance sideways.

With just one look, Wyatt recognized them.

Jaxx Nangle, Demetrius Nangle.

Wyatt nodded at them as a greeting, then without waiting for a response, he flew into the black mist and vanished from the Brothers Nangle’s sight.

"Another ’Illusion Array’!"

Looking at the familiar black mist, Demetrius Nangle furrowed his brow, "Does this mean, brother, that we’ll have to separate again this time?"

Earlier, when they had first entered, due to the Illusion Array around the platform beneath the staircase at the side of the platform, he and Jaxx Nangle had separated. They didn’t meet again until half a month later during their venture in the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.’

That reunion was only possible thanks to their ’mind link’!

As twin brothers, Demetrius Nangle and Jaxx Nangle could pretty much sense each other’s approximate location as long as the distance wasn’t too extreme.

"Mind link,"

Jaxx Nangle coolly reminded.

"Right, mind link! How could I forget something so important... With such a palm-sized ’palace,’ and our mind link, we can sense each other’s location immediately,"

Reminded by Jaxx, Demetrius’s eyes brightened.

"Idiot!"

Jaxx responded coolly, and then before Demetrius could retort, he leaped forward, entering the mist-filled ’Illusion Array’ and disappeared.

"You’re the idiot!"

Demetrius came to his senses and cursed resentfully, his face showing dissatisfaction as he followed.

Shortly, Flame Graham and Sorrow also arrived.

"Another Illusion Array!"

Though surprised by the Illusion Array ahead, the two did not hesitate much and immediately entered, vanishing into the Illusion Array.

Following that, disciples from the Five Elements Sect, Blade and Sword Sect, Cloud Sky Temple, Heartbreak Sect, one after another entered.

The six major forces that entered through the Number 2 entrance now only had four major forces with surviving disciples.

As for the disciples of the other two major forces, all were annihilated!

Shortly after the group from the Number 2 entrance vanished into the ’Illusion Array,’ the group that came through the Number 1 entrance arrived belatedly, appearing one by one inside the palace.

The leaders were Qadir Adams, Camden Taylor.

"Let’s go!"

Qadir Adams called the three remaining disciples of the North Nether Sect and leaped into the Illusion Array.

"Wyatt Barnes, I hope you truly held back when you used the ’Spiritual Artifact’ earlier. Otherwise, if I find out that the force of the sixteen hundred ancient Horned Dragons you deployed is your full strength after using the ’Spiritual Artifact’... I will surely kill you!"

After Qadir and the others entered, Camden Taylor’s eyes flashed coldly.

To this day, Camden still hadn’t forgotten the ’Mystery Fragment’ in Wyatt’s hands.
