Chapter 1687: World Destroyer Heavenly Rule

The two took the field.

Seeing Wu Yu again put grim expressions on the elite immortal emperors’ faces.

Especially the two immortal emperors who had come here with You Dongxuan - Demigod of Night and Demigod of Day.

They were veteran immortal emperors, and loved You Dongxuan a lot. However, he was facing Wu Yu now.

"This is troublesome." Demigod of Day sighed. He knew that his son You Dongxuan was lacking compared to Lei Tianyuan, who had already been defeated by Wu Yu. There was basically no chance now.

"Not necessarily."

Demigod of Night smiled thinly. "Although Dongxuan is not Wu Yu’s match, but he would have been eliminated sooner or later anyway. In that case, against Wu Yu, he can test out his strengths, realize his flaws, and might even make a breakthrough."

"That’s true. Improvement comes from sufficient pressure. Especially when challenging the immortal emperor realm, pressure is needed. Either breakthrough or die. I hope that Dongxuan can tackle this head on and confront his own limits!" Demigod of Day relaxed again.

Although, how could something like the Immortal Emperor Trials even give sufficient pressure to Wu Yu?

To him, it was an ordinary day.

Perhaps none of these immortal emperors would imagine that Wu Yu had already challenged an immortal as a mortal. That was true pressure!

How could this fight between equals count as pressure?

Seeing his opponent was the son of Demigod of Day, You Dongxuan, Wu Yu could not help laughing. "You Dongxuan, just surrender already. Otherwise if you can’t beat me, you’ll only be humiliated badly!"

These words drew a collective gasp from the immortal emperors. Of course, the Mettle Sky disciples cheered.

They had not forgotten how You Dongxuan had defeated Undulating Tides Immortal King in one blow, and of course Li Tianji’s humiliation of Spirit Sword Immortal King.

Now in Wu Yu versus You Dongxuan, the tables were completely flipped.

No one doubted the result. After Wu Yu defeated Lei Tianyuan, he had already taken his place as a top 8 hot favorite.

Therefore, his mocking of You Dongxuan was backed by ability.

"Classic Old Wu. Who else would dare to say such a thing? Even if they had the ability to beat You Dongxuan, they would not have the guts to say that. This is a declaration of challenge against all the immortal emperor descendants!" Full Moon of Nanshan was hyped now, as though he were the one challenging You Dongxuan himself.

Ye Xixi and Luo Pin looked around to see many of the immortal emperors on the podium frowning. Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning, The All-Seeing and All-Hearing, Four Heavenly Kings... all of them held important posts in the sky palaces.

They were naturally displeased to hear these words.

However, when Li Tianji had humiliated Spirit Sword Immortal King, had they not also laughed and clapped?

It was different when it was one of your own.

"These immortal emperors have been up on their ivory towers for far too long. They have always looked down on mortal-born immortals." Luo Pin shook her head. She wished that Wu Yu could give You Dongxuan a shaming, like how Li Tianji had done Spirit Sword Immortal King.

But she knew that Wu Yu could not do that.

He was different from Li Tianji!

"You want me to surrender? Dream on!"

Hearing Wu Yu’s taunt, You Dongxuan was incensed. He sent forth his heavenly rule power, accumulating it in a sun!

The temperature in Giant Astral Prison climbed steadily. Scorching sun heavenly rule made Wu Yu’s skin flush red, as if he were being baked in a furnace.

However, this little bit of heat was nothing to Wu Yu. The Invincible Vajra Body alone was sufficient.

"Violent Art!"

"Abyssal heavenly rule!"

Wu Yu swelled with strength, and lunged towards You Dongxuan!

Abyssal heavenly rule was before him in the blink of an eye. You Dongxuan paled.

Wu Yu’s move had not been used against Lei Tianyuan before, and he was unsure of how to deal with it. However, he moved scorching sun heavenly rule before him, reshaping it as a wall of fire in an attempt to block abyssal heavenly rule.

Unfortunately, he was simply not strong enough to beat Wu Yu.

Abyssal heavenly rule came grinding up the air before it. It smashed into the wall of fire and pulverized it, continuing on to crash into You Dongxuan and sending him flying. He landed heavily outside the fighting arena!

An easy win for Wu Yu.

He had not humiliated his opponent like Li Tianji. That was meaningless for Wu Yu.

Besides, he had exercised moderation in his attack. You Dongxuan might be bruised up, but would not suffer any long term consequences or die.

"Dongxuan, how are you?"

Demigod of Night and Demigod of Day rushed over to support him. Seeing him largely alright, they were relieved.

Wu Yu looked at them fussing over You Dongxuan from a distance away. He shook his head slightly, and left.

These immortal emperor descendants were all the same, raised as the apples of their parents’ eyes. They had probably never experienced hardship in their lives.

And to Wu Yu, the real way to cultivate was to go through brimstone and fire, to look death in the eye, and to understand the meaning of life that only appeared in the liminal space between life and deaeth. Otherwise, how could one create a dao that was truly great?

These immortal emperor descendants might be at the same cultivation realm as he was, and had treasures way beyond him. Even so, he did not think them strong.

This fight was not too much of a spectacle. Wu Yu had gone easy on him, and his Demigod parents were grateful. Of course, it was unrealistic to say that they would immediately favor him.

Attention soon turned back to the next fight.

The Wheel of Taichi continued to spin, and soon lit up two more people.

As the pairing was confirmed, there were gasps from the crowd, as these were both quarter-final favorites.

One was the son of Yang Jian, the cool killer Yang Qiang. The other was the daughter of the Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress, Happy Fleece Fairy!

Yang Qiang versus Happy Fleece Fairy.

These two were quarter-final candidates, and both would definitely be thinking the same thing - gunning for the win, and entering Everlasting Battlefield.

But now they had met here, which implied that only one of them could continue.

As the match-up was confirmed, Yang Qiang immediately stepped forward, his Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd in hand. He was emotionless and icy as ever.

Happy Fleece Fairy started, not expecting to face Yang Qiang in this round.

She judged Yang Qiang highly, and knew that he would definitely be her match at least. If she wanted to beat him, she would have to go all out.

However, victory was not decided before they fought.

Happy Fleece Fairy’s sexy figure was wrapped up in a titillating black skirt that left many of the male immortal emperors dry-mouthed.

However, they all knew that Happy Fleece Fairy liked Nezha’s son Li Tianji, and the rest of them could not compare to him. He was talented, and had Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li backing him, there to clean up after any mess he made.

In the sky palaces, no one dared to cross the informal lord of their generation.

And Happy Fleece Fairy was already openly Li Tianji’s. Who would dare to have improper thoughts towards her?

"Yang Qiang, go easy on me alright? Otherwise I might not be able to bear it."

Happy Fleece Fairy gave a lilting laugh, her Qian Kun Treasure Box already in hand.

There was a tacit understanding that neither could afford to slack off. Their epochal immortal treasures were pulled from the start, to bring about a quicker conclusion.

"Begin."

Yang Qiang was stone in the face of Happy Fleece Fairy’s coy flirtation. The Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd twirled in his hands, and he leapt with killing intent!

Silently cursing him as an idiot, Happy Fleece Fairy met him head on, her heavenly rule power bursting forth.

The battle heated up instantly!

Wu Yu, Li Tianji, and the other competitors were all watching this fight closely. After all, whoever won might well be a future opponent, if not in this round, then the next. Understanding their moves beforehand was an advantage.

Li Tianji only watched Yang Qiang. Happy Fleece Fairy was plastered on his ass day and night, and he already had the measure of her.

Besides, if he were to meet Happy Fleece Fairy, a few words and she would probably surrender obediently. There was nothing to worry about on that front.

Therefore, Yang Qiang was the one he should watch carefully!

"World destroyer heavenly rule!"

Bolstered by Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd, Yang Qiang let loose with a force-packed punch that rippled the air itself, compressing the space between him and Happy Fleece Fairy. It was suddenly right in front of her!

The dissonance between his emotionless face and intense killing lust sent shivers down many a spine.

This void-shattering punch seemed simple enough, but was packed with arcane technique. Even a second tier immortal emperor would find it hard to block!
