Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2308: About to Fail?
No matter how those around him marveled at the methods of ’Vast Johnson’, the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace, Wyatt Barnes had no time to worry about them.
Though he wasn’t seriously injured, Wyatt still needed some time to recover.
"I still have almost an hour left... plenty of time to recover."
After saying this to himself, Wyatt began to calmly restore his energy.
Meanwhile, people around him couldn’t help but gossip:
"Tsk tsk... The same Tribulation Lightning that seemed like nothing more than a paper tiger in front of Palace Master Johnson of the Sacred Wander Palace didn’t even touch his robes; contrast that with Wyatt Barnes, whose clothes are torn, stained with blood, looking utterly pathetic!"
"The difference is quite exaggerated."
"However, this disparity has less to do with their actual strengths and more to do with the powerful tribulation-crossing techniques passed down through the generations in the Sacred Wander Palace!"
"Indeed it’s powerful. That was the seventy-first Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation, yet it was rendered powerless by Johnson’s crossing technique! As the one undergoing the tribulation, Palace Master Johnson wasn’t even touched."
"No wonder no Palace Master has ever failed a tribulation in the history of the Sacred Wander Palace... With such techniques, it’s hard to imagine failing!"
"Indeed."
...
Having witnessed the tribulation-crossing methods of ’Vast Johnson’, people exclaimed in admiration once more.
"Wyatt Barnes is in danger now."
Soon, someone else turned to Wyatt and said.
"Indeed. Although Wyatt Barnes possesses a body unlike any human, before transforming into a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, he can probably only withstand one or two more Tribulation Lightnings."
Seeing Wyatt’s powerful physique, the crowd gave him more credit.
Nevertheless, this did not mean that anyone believed Wyatt could successfully cross the tribulation today!
After all, the Tribulation Lightning just now was merely the seventy-first, and there were still ten more to come.
And each one stronger than the last!
Even if Wyatt can withstand one or two more before transforming into a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior.
After the transformation, he can withstand a few more.
But what about the remaining ones?
How will Wyatt resist them?
"Though Wyatt Barnes is human, there’s no denying he’s a rare prodigy... It’s truly a pity he might fail today."
"If only he weren’t human, but part of our Human Demon Clan... With his talent and potential, he would surely grow to become a pillar of the clan!"
...
Many present felt regret that Wyatt Barnes might fail in crossing the tribulation.
"Today, with Palace Master Johnson from the Sacred Wander Palace and Palace Master Stone from the Giant Spirit Palace present... even if Wyatt Barnes’s soul escapes after failing, he won’t evade death!"
"In short... Wyatt Barnes is doomed this time!"
"Unless he succeeds in the tribulation and becomes a ’semi-immortal’, only then would he have a chance of survival... Otherwise, he’s doomed!"
"As things stand, it seems impossible for him to succeed."
...
As people whispered and debated, time slipped quietly by.
In the blink of an eye, nearly an hour had passed.
"It’s coming soon!"
When the seventy-second Tribulation Lightning of the Ascension Tribulation was about to descend, everyone’s eyes fell on Wyatt Barnes, as if anticipating how he would withstand the upcoming lightnings.
As for Vast Johnson, hardly anyone paid him any mind.
Given Johnson’s earlier display of the Sacred Wander Palace’s inherited tribulation-crossing techniques, the upcoming lightnings would surely not impact him much...
Under such circumstances, there was no need to pay attention.
Whether watched or not, the result would be the same, so why bother?
Boom!!
Soon, the seventy-second Tribulation Lightning arrived as expected, appearing as two bolts—one howling towards Wyatt Barnes and the other sweeping towards Vast Johnson...
And the next scene unfolded just as most had anticipated.
Before transforming into a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, Wyatt Barnes, after fully exerting himself to dissipate most of the lightning’s power, continued to withstand the residual effect with his powerful physique!
Of course, he was even more heavily wounded.
However, overall, it was still not life-threatening.
On the other side.
Facing the seventy-second Tribulation Lightning, Vast Johnson effortlessly deflected it, just like with the seventy-first. This too, as most had envisioned.
After the seventy-second Tribulation Lightning came the seventy-third...
Boom!!
As another blaze of daylight illuminated the darkened space, a thunderous boom resonated.
The seventy-third Tribulation Lightning arrived as expected!
Wyatt Barnes repeated his old tricks to deal with the seventy-third tribulation lightning, but this time it was somewhat strenuous, causing him to suffer a significant injury.
"It seems that for the next tribulation lightning, I have to transform into a ’Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’... Otherwise, even if I barely manage to withstand it, I will surely be heavily injured!"
"And in such circumstances, if I suffer a serious injury and face the subsequent tribulation lightning without recovery, it will be extremely dangerous and create a vicious cycle!"
"In this way, it’s basically impossible to smoothly get through the subsequent tribulation lightning!"
Wyatt knew this well in his heart.
So, even if he could withstand the seventy-fourth tribulation lightning without transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior while paying the price of a serious injury, he wouldn’t choose to do so.
Because there’s no need!
"I didn’t expect that when facing the seventy-third tribulation lightning, Wyatt Barnes still didn’t transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior... He truly is skilled and daring!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"However, looking at his current situation, it seems like he’s almost at his limit... For the next tribulation lightning, he should transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and take it seriously."
"I think so too."
...
Just as most people present speculated.
Nearly an hour later, before the seventy-fourth tribulation lightning descended, Wyatt Barnes transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, waiting for the tribulation lightning to come in his strongest form.
"Finally transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior... I wonder how many tribulation lightnings Wyatt Barnes can withstand after transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior."
"No matter how many tribulation lightnings he can withstand... He surely can’t smoothly get through all the subsequent tribulation lightnings! After all, there are still eight full tribulation lightnings remaining. Although the Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior is powerful, they aren’t that powerful!"
"I think so too."
...
Seeing Wyatt Barnes transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, those present were even more excited to see his upcoming performance.
Boom!!
Amid the crowd’s anticipation, the seventy-fourth tribulation lightning arrived as expected.
Facing this seventy-fourth tribulation lightning, Wyatt Barnes, transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, withstood it with ease, not even suffering a minor injury the entire time.
Next came the seventy-fifth tribulation lightning!
Although somewhat strenuous, he still managed to withstand it fairly easily...
The seventy-sixth tribulation lightning, however, brought significant pressure to Wyatt Barnes.
The seventy-seventh tribulation lightning exerted even more pressure, injuring Wyatt Barnes at one point!
The seventy-eighth tribulation lightning directly inflicted a serious injury on Wyatt Barnes!
The seventy-ninth tribulation lightning further aggravated Wyatt Barnes’s existing injuries that had not yet healed!
"Wow—"
After the seventy-ninth tribulation lightning, Wyatt Barnes’s body swayed, his internal organs trembled, and he spat out a large mouthful of stagnant blood.
The blood splashed across the sky, glaring and dazzling!
Now, Wyatt Barnes was wounded upon wounded!
"Two tribulation lightnings remaining... Given my current state, even if I were given an hour to recover, not to mention ten hours, it would be difficult to return to my peak!"
At this thought, Wyatt Barnes showed a bitter expression, with traces of resentment in his eyes.
The Ascension Tribulation consisted of eighty-one tribulation lightnings, with only two remaining.
However, in his current state, passing the next tribulation lightning, the eightieth lightning of the Ascension Tribulation, was nearly impossible...
Not to mention the eighty-first tribulation lightning, which is the final one!
"It’s also because I wasn’t prepared in advance, not utilizing my full strength in the tribulation... Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing state at this time! If I had been prepared earlier, as a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, it wouldn’t have been difficult to succeed in the tribulation!"
After seventy-nine tribulation lightnings, Wyatt Barnes also realized his shortcomings:
Lack of preparation!
The reason for this was that his ’Ascension Tribulation’ arrived so suddenly, catching him unprepared, with no choice but to brace himself!
"I didn’t think Wyatt Barnes could hold on until now... He successfully withstood the seventy-ninth tribulation lightning."
When many onlookers looked at Wyatt Barnes again, they all felt a sense of respect.
In this world, not only does the human world revere ’Respect the Powerful,’ but even in the Demon Race, the strong are revered!
Wyatt Barnes, a human unprepared for the Ascension Tribulation, faced with a sudden Ascension Tribulation, managed to get this far...
Say no more; just this alone is enough to earn their respect!
"Looking at his current state, it’s unlikely he can get through the eightieth tribulation lightning... However, dying under the eightieth tribulation lightning is enough to set a ’record’ in our Demon Race!"
An elder from the Crimson Flame Palace said.
"In the history of our Demon Race, people in similar situations to him eventually failed the tribulation... But, the last one standing only persisted up to the seventy-fifth tribulation lightning!"
"If he weren’t human, but someone from our Demon Race... His name would surely be marked with significance in the history of our Demon Race!"
"What a pity."
After whispering about Wyatt Barnes, the onlookers shifted their gaze to the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace, Vast Johnson.
