Chapter 992: Chapter 992: The Strange Stone Platform
Ten breaths’ ti, neither long nor short.
Wyatt Barnes had several thoughts pass through his mind, and ten breaths of ti had quietly passed.
After ten breaths, Wyatt Barnes found that all the "mirror images" ford by the ’mirror illusion array’ around him had disappeared.
At the sa ti, he appeared once again in a long corridor.
Compared to the corridor on the first level of the Qingfeng Hall, the corridor on the second level of the Qingfeng Hall seed even more narrow.
Not only that, but there were also wooden figures standing in this second-level corridor of the Qingfeng Hall, conspicuously blocking the way.
These wooden figures, in groups of two or three, whether standing on the ground or floating in mid-air, completely blocked the way to the other end of the corridor, preventing passage.
A group of wooden figures inside the corridor appeared particularly wooden and remained motionless for a long ti.
"Is this what they call the ’Ninety-Nine Wooden Man Pass’?"
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and pondered inwardly.
When Wyatt Barnes’s ntal power extended out, he quickly discovered the ’details’ of each wooden figure blocking the way.
These wooden figures, like the ’human statues’ and ’beast statues’ on the first level of the Qingfeng Hall, had no differences and were all equipped with ’Inscription Arrays’.
Their bodies contained ’original stones’ and ’realm fragnts’.
Although Wyatt Barnes’s ntal power could not detect how strong the ’realm fragnts’ inside these wooden figures were.
But it was not hard for him to guess that the strength of these wooden figures must be far greater than those human statues and beast statues on the first level of the Qingfeng Hall.
If it were not so, there was no need to differentiate between the first and second levels!
"Moreover, the wood that constructs them is not simple."
Soon, Wyatt Barnes’s extended ntal power discovered that the ’wood’ comprising each wooden figure had a density far stronger than ordinary stone.
"So that’s how it is... these guys, although made of wood, have bodies far stronger than those statues on the first level of the Qingfeng Hall! Once they make a move, their movents will also be much more agile."
Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, not daring to underestimate these wooden figures any longer.
"Right! The Martial Emperor of Qingfeng ntioned... only the first one to pass the ’Ninety-Nine Wooden Man Pass’ can obtain that ’bronze-colored key’ to ascend to the ’third level’ of the Qingfeng Hall!"
With a flash of insight in his mind, Wyatt Barnes recalled the content of the ssage left by the Martial Emperor of Qingfeng just a while ago, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it! I actually forgot about this!"
Thinking of the ti he had just wasted, Wyatt Barnes imdiately beca anxious.
At a critical mont, how could he have been distracted by those wooden figures?
Moreover, he had even used his ntal power to specifically investigate the details of those wooden figures, which was completely unnecessary and misplaced priorities.
For him at the mont, passing the ’Ninety-Nine Wooden Man Pass’ in front of him, obtaining that ’bronze-colored key,’ and then ascending the ’third level’ of the Qingfeng Hall was the most important thing.
Whirlwind!
Wyatt Barnes dared not hesitate any longer, his figure swept out, and in an instant, he seed to transform into a tornado, rushing towards the other end of the corridor.
Just as Wyatt Barnes turned into a purple lightning, weaving through the corridor, when he got close to the three front-most wooden figures about several tens of ters away.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
...
The three wooden figures’ stiff bodies suddenly trembled violently, and then emitted a series of clear sounds, as if they were fully activated in that instant.
For this, Wyatt Barnes was not surprised.
As he approached these wooden figures, his keen ntal power had already detected that he had inadvertently triggered an ’Inscription Array’.
Moreover, he had activated the Inscription Array that energized all the wooden figures in the corridor!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three wooden figures closest to Wyatt Barnes almost simultaneously made a move, attacking him fiercely.
Their Origin Force surged, then fused with the ’realm,’ exhibiting trendous strength that overwhelmingly enveloped Wyatt Barnes without rcy.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the sa ti, above the heads of the three wooden figures in the void, five hundred ancient Horned Dragon phantoms each appeared, and they lunged together at Wyatt Barnes with teeth and claws bared.
Even a Transforming Void Realm first-level warrior who had comprehended the ’First Level Transforming Void Realm’ could not match the strength of four hundred ancient Horned Dragons when not using a spiritual weapon and going all out!
The three wooden figures, each carrying the ’strength of five hundred ancient Horned Dragons,’ smashed through the air, causing the air currents to tremble and then set off a series of shrill sonic booms.
The sonic boom burst open, waves of air unfurled, turning into fierce winds, causing Wyatt Barnes’s purple clothes to flutter and make a whirring sound.
Facing the attack of three wooden figures, Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained unchanged; he even did not bother to give them a direct glance.
"Vanish!"
A cold voice emanated from Wyatt Barnes’s mouth.
Unbeknownst when, in his slightly raised hand, a three-foot Qingfeng blade, ford entirely of earthy yellow strength materialized, suddenly vibrating.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
...
As Wyatt Barnes’s words fell, a series of rapid and continuous sword cries like a gust of wind and rain sounded, one after another, incessantly.
Phew!
As the sword cry vanished, Wyatt Barnes’s other hand swept through the air, easily grabbing several dozen ’dium-grade original stones’ and three ’realm fragnts’ that appeared out of thin air.
Imdiately afterwards, Wyatt Barnes continued to charge at the next wave of wooden dummies.
As soon as Wyatt had dashed out, the three wooden dummies that were originally pouncing toward him with ferocity burst open in the air, turning into nurous pieces of wood, falling down like rain.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
...
The hundreds of pieces of the three wooden dummies had just fallen to the ground when not far away another wooden rain began that lasted for a while.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
The swift purple figure disappeared on the spot every ti, appearing deeper into the corridor in the next mont.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
...
Each ti he appeared, he invariably brought with him a series of piercing sword whistles, followed by a relentless downpour of wooden rain.
Where he passed, the corridor was covered with countless pieces of broken wood.
"Killed seventy-eight already... three to go! Ninety-nine Wooden Trials, ninety-nine minus one... I see now!"
As soon as it dawned on him, Wyatt’s eyes flashed and he swooped toward the last three wooden dummies, transforming again into a bolt of incredibly fast purple lightning.
The three wooden dummies, each with the phantom of eight hundred ancient Horned Dragons above their heads, unleashed their Origin Force and the power of the "realm" fused within, attacking Wyatt like thunder all at once.
"Bring it on!"
This ti, Wyatt didn’t counter them with the earthy yellow force-ford three-foot blue blade he had used before but confronted them directly with his fists.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wyatt threw his fists together, exerting his full power, unleashing twirling currents of earthy yellow force intertwined with purple lightning and blue fierce winds, which also carried the sharp essence of a "sword realm".
Boom!!
A massive explosion burst forth, reverberating through the narrow corridor and sending waves of distinct echoes everywhere.
Upon a narrow path, the brave prevails!
At the sa ti, the force surging from Wyatt’s fists swept out unrestrained, carrying an overwhelming montum that annihilated the attacks of the three wooden dummies.
As the force passed, the attacks from the three wooden dummies were completely crushed, and the three wooden dummies were themselves blasted into smithereens, vanishing from the world completely.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
As the last three wooden dummies were reduced to smithereens, a series of explosive sounds like thunder erupted, making the second floor of the temple quake as if the earth and mountains were trembling.
Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!
...
The sweeping winds from all directions kicked up another prolonged wooden rain in the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, a purple figure stood there, his purple robe fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound.
He was a cold-eyed young man in purple, standing there like an ’Undefeated War God’!
"Bronze key!"
Wyatt’s gaze imdiately fell on a stone pedestal outside the corridor, standing forlornly, imparting a sense of desolation.
On the pedestal, a ’bronze key’ also lay forlornly.
The bronze key, shaped like a crescent moon and forged from so unknown material, was wholly different from ordinary keys.
The long years seed to have left no mark on it.
"The third floor... does it start from here?"
anwhile, Wyatt looked up toward the top of the high platform.
The ceiling there was identical to the one he had seen in the ’one in four stone chambers’ on the first floor of the temple, clearly movable and not sealed around.
"It’s still not open? Do I need to take the ’bronze key’ for the ceiling to open and reveal the path to the ’third floor of the temple’?"
Struck by a thought, Wyatt no longer hesitated, leaped up, and like an eagle, flew out, landing steadily on the stone pedestal.
Without a fuss, Wyatt grabbed the ’bronze key’ in his hand.
"Still not open?"
At the sa ti, Wyatt shook his head and looked toward the ceiling, only to find that the ceiling showed no movent, while the stone pedestal under his feet began to tremble.
"What is this?"
At the sa mont, Wyatt’s pupils constricted, looking at the stone pedestal under his feet with astonishnt.
At that mont, he discovered that an ’Inscription Array’ had been activated on the stone pedestal under him. Not only that, but this ’Inscription Array’ also emitted a strange force, sweeping toward the corridor he had just co from.
Whoosh!
At the sa ti, Wyatt felt a void under his feet as the stone pedestal detached from the ground and flew out, leaving his feet and rushing into the corridor he had just traversed, hanging in mid-air.
"This is..."
Imdiately following, Wyatt saw the thousands of pieces of broken wood inside the corridor, as if called by sothing, flying up and rapidly rushing toward the hovering stone pedestal.
