Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Gambling with Life!
The people present stared intently at the ten individuals in the ’Gravity Ladder’.
After reaching the cyan part of the Gravity Ladder, each step beca extrely difficult for the ten individuals, and it was uncertain whether they would be able to get through.
"That person is just a little short."
Montarily, the onlookers noticed that one person was on the verge of passing through the cyan part and entering the blue part.
Once entering the blue part, they only needed to breach the purple part to have successfully navigated the Gravity Ladder.
The reason this person was about to pass through the cyan part was not only because he unleashed his full Origin Force and revealed all his "Mysteries," but he also drew a spiritual artifact to resist the formidable gravity.
He raised his hands above his head, clutching a spirit sword tightly, his body fused with multiple Mysteries of Origin Force, making him and the sword appear as one colossal sword.
The tip of the sword faced upward, trying to offload the incessant pull of gravity in the ladder around him, so as to decrease his own burden.
Whoosh!
At the sa ti, he leveraged his montum to soar upwards, directly into the blue part of the Gravity Ladder.
Just as many spectators saw a glimr of hope that this person might overco the Gravity Ladder,
Boom!
A sudden surge of even stronger gravity erged from the blue part of the ladder, blasting him downwards like an arrow shot from a bow.
"Wow!"
Under everyone’s eyes, this person only managed to spit out so blood before being expelled from the Gravity Ladder, losing his chance to beco a disciple of the Martial Emperor.
"I was careless."
After being expelled from the Gravity Ladder, he sighed, wiped the blood from his mouth, and left in dejection.
He was careless because of his excitent upon entering the blue section, which led to his expulsion due to the overpowering gravitational force.
Otherwise, even if he couldn’t make it to the purple part, he wouldn’t have been so humiliated.
Nevertheless, even though he was eliminated from the Gravity Ladder, he provided a valuable ’experience’ for those coming after him—that the use of a ’spiritual weapon’ can resist the relentless gravity within the ladder.
The remaining nine individuals also drew their spiritual artifacts and, with their aid, successfully ascended to the blue part of the ladder.
Unlike the previous individual, they advanced cautiously and managed to hold their ground in the blue part.
"Wyatt, they have now reached the blue part... Do you think they stand a chance of reaching the purple part, or even passing the Gravity Ladder?"
A voice suddenly reached Wyatt’s ears, it was Detrius Nangle asking him.
"They won’t be able to pass the Gravity Ladder... As for reaching the purple part, maybe one of them can."
Wyatt, who was also observing the situation in the Gravity Ladder, tily responded to Detrius Nangle’s query after hearing him.
Among the remaining nine individuals, one was comparatively strong, considered outstanding among the Sixth-Order warriors of the Martial Emperor Realm.
"Only one person can reach the purple part? No one can pass through the Gravity Ladder?"
Detrius Nangle’s face fell upon hearing Wyatt’s words.
He rembered all ten individuals who entered the Gravity Ladder; they were people who had been training in the sa place as him for the past six months, all between the Fourth-Order and below Seventh-Order of the Martial Emperor Realm.
So of them were even stronger than he was.
"So you’re saying, I have no chance of passing this Gravity Ladder?"
As his face fell, deep in his eyes, disappointnt surfaced.
Shortly, another person was expelled from the Gravity Ladder.
This individual had tried to force his way into the purple part of the ladder using the spiritual weapon in his hand. However, once his weapon ca into contact with the purple part, it triggered an intensification of the gravity that sent him flying out.
"Sigh."
After being expelled from the ladder, he sighed and departed disheartened.
As ti passed, more people were gradually eliminated.
In the end, only one person was left,
Whom Wyatt regarded quite highly.
This person, leveraging the spiritual weapon in his hand, forcefully entered the ’purple part’ of the Gravity Ladder, enveloping himself within.
Just when many thought he would pass through the Gravity Ladder, he was blasted down and smashed onto the vast stone platform with a ’bang’.
When he stood up again, his body was covered in blood, looking utterly disheveled.
"I advise you, if you’re not above the Seventh-Order of the Martial Emperor Realm, don’t overestimate your abilities."
Before leaving, he turned to address the crowd on the vast platform.
His words cast a shadow over many hearts.
These people were all those, aside from Wyatt, including Detrius Nangle, whose cultivation had not reached above the Seventh-Order of the Martial Emperor Realm.
"Humph! Dreaming of becoming a disciple or a disciple of the Martial Emperor at Mystic Profound Peak without being above the Seventh-Order of the Martial Emperor Realm? Truly overestimating yourselves!"
At that mont, a disdainful sneer broke the silence on the vast stone platform. It was the silver-robed middle-aged man who had earlier provoked Wyatt and two others, now speaking with a mocking smile.
"What a stench... Whose mouth is so foul?"
As anger appeared on many faces including Detrius Nangle, Wyatt spoke leisurely, his words laden with implication.
"Pfft!"
"Hahahaha... Indeed, it stinks. I slled it too."
...
After a brief silence, many ca to their senses and couldn’t help but laugh.
Including Detrius Nangle, a group of warriors below the Seventh-Order of the Martial Emperor Realm echoed Wyatt’s words heartily, relishing their chance to retaliate.
"You little brat! You’re courting death!!"
The silver-robed middle-aged man finally caught on, glaring at Wyatt with icy murderous intent in his eyes.
If not for the convention of the place restraining him, he would have loved to imdiately kill this young man in purple, making an example of him to show others the consequences of offending him.
"It seems even fouler now."
Detrius Nangle deliberately pinched his nose and said in a sowhat facetious tone.
"You... you... you two brats, if you dare, enter the ’Gravity Ladder’ with
now. I will let you know that ants like you simply cannot pass through the Gravity Ladder, let alone make it through the second round of selection!"
The man in the silver robe glared at Detrius Nangle while turning to Wyatt Barnes and provoking him with his words.
At those words, Detrius’s face darkened.
He really wasn’t confident about getting through the Gravity Ladder.
In his heart, he was prepared to be eliminated.
However, now he was being provoked by the man in the silver robe and really didn’t know how to respond.
"So, you an... you can get through the Gravity Ladder? Make it through the second round of selection?"
At that mont, Wyatt Barnes looked at the man in the silver robe and calmly asked.
"Of course!"
The man in the silver robe said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"It seems you’re quite confident."
Wyatt stared deeply at the man in the silver robe, then turned to Detrius and smiled, "Since he’s so confident in himself... let’s just humor him."
"Alright."
Although unsure of what Wyatt was planning, Detrius agreed.
In his view,
although he didn’t have enough strength to get through the Gravity Ladder, it wouldn’t be difficult for Wyatt.
"I’ll join too."
Jaxx Nangle spoke indifferently.
"Jaxx Nangle, you’ll soon witness these two companions of yours being eliminated by the Gravity Ladder... Ants who have not stepped into the ’Seventh-Order Martial Emperor Realm’ dare to challenge the Gravity Ladder, it’s an overestimation of their own abilities!"
The man in the silver robe laughed mockingly at Jaxx as he rose into the air.
"Since you’re so confident, how about making a bet with ?"
Wyatt narrowed his eyes and asked provocatively.
"What bet?"
The man in the silver robe huffed.
"Bet on whether we three, and you, can pass through the ’Gravity Ladder’ and make it through the second round of selection."
Wyatt spoke unhurriedly.
"How should we bet? What’s the stake?"
The man in the silver robe asked with a cold laugh, unwilling to be outdone in terms of spirit.
"Bet our lives!"
Wyatt’s eyes narrowed, a flash of cold light darting through them.
Bet our lives!
Wyatt’s statent sent a stir through the crowd.
Even the two disciples directly imparted by the Martial Emperors, Easton Sutton and Ashton Chapman, now had their attention focused on Wyatt.
"Interesting."
Ashton Chapman looked at Wyatt with interest and smiled, "This kid suits my taste."
"Hmph!"
Unlike Ashton, Easton Sutton just snorted coldly, recognizing Wyatt as the disciple who had killed Vihaan Wright, "Bryant Wright."
When the man in the silver robe heard Wyatt’s words, he was stunned for a mont.
After a while, sensing the eyes of everyone in the audience on him, he regained his composure, looked at Wyatt, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you propose we bet?"
Even now, he was unwilling to let his spirit be defeated.
"We each swear an oath on the ’Thunder Tribulation of the Nine Nines’... If any one of us three fails to get through the ’Gravity Ladder’, or if you do get through the ’Gravity Ladder’, I will be struck down by the ’Thunder Punishnt’ from the Nine Nines Thunder Tribulation!"
Wyatt looked at the man in the silver robe, each word deliberate, "Conversely, if all three of us get through the ’Gravity Ladder’ and you do not, then you will be struck down by the ’Thunder Punishnt’ from the Nine Nines Thunder Tribulation!"
Wyatt’s speech was followed by complete silence.
"Has this young man in purple gone mad?"
As people gradually ca to their senses, they began whispering among themselves, thinking Wyatt had gone crazy.
According to Wyatt’s words.
He, Jaxx Nangle, and Detrius Nangle, if any one of them failed to pass through the Gravity Ladder, he would die.
Even if they all passed, as long as the man in the silver robe also passed, it was still his death.
Only if all three of them passed and the man in the silver robe failed, would the man in the silver robe die.
"Are you sure you want to bet this way?"
Upon clearly hearing Wyatt’s words, the man in the silver robe looked at Wyatt with a sarcastic expression and asked coldly.
From his perspective, the young man in purple was simply courting death!
"Do you dare?!"
Wyatt asked lightly.
Do you dare?!
With Wyatt’s words, once again the gaze of everyone present fell on the man in the silver robe, leaving him once again the focus of attention.
"Interesting, very interesting."
Ashton Chapman smiled brightly.
Standing beside him, Easton Sutton narrowed his eyes and closely watched the purple figure, mulling over sothing.
"What do I have to fear!"
The man in the silver robe sneered, "But your life is not enough to bet with ... unless you include ’Jaxx Nangle’s’ life as well."
