Chapter 1688: Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd

This one punch from Yang Qiang had Wu Yu sitting up ramrod straight.

All of the spectators could see the power that he was capable of.

"This one move is even stronger than my Submerged Cloud Seal!" Wu Yu said, aghast. He understood Yang Qiang’s abilities now.

Before this, his battle against Lei Tianyuan had been the highlight.

And now there was another highlight. Besides, the power level in this battle was even higher than before, with void-breaking moves unleashed from the get-go.

Yang Qiang’s world destroyer heavenly rule was phenomenal, smashing the void with one punch. Happy Fleece Fairy barely managed to react in time.

However, she was still the daughter of the Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress. She had a powerful arsenal of her own. She scoffed at Yang Qiang’s attack. "Darksky heavenly rule!"

A black heavenly rule power seeped out from her body, and soon the entire field was in darkness.

This way, Yang Qiang would not know where she was.

He could sense that his world destroyer heavenly rule punch had not connected. And since the world had gone dark, Happy Fleece Fairy had repositioned, and he did not know where she was.

Still stony-faced, he stood stock-still and waited.

Before long, a flash of blinding white light came out of the darkness.

"Spiritual treasure heavenly rule!"

Happy Fleece Fairy’s shout was followed by a streak of white light that dazzled Yang Qiang, forcing him to close his eyes for an instant.

He sensed that if he did not, he would have gone blind. He could even feel a burning pain from the light, and knew how strong the attack was.

However, light alone could not eclipse Yang Qiang’s power.

Yang Qiang opened his third eye, and white light flooded across the entire field. The third eye was incredibly powerful - his Eye of Heaven Mystique!

The opening of the Eye of Heaven overwhelmed the white light attack that Happy Fleece Fairy had used, and it could no longer pose a threat to Yang Qiang.

Even Happy Fleece Fairy was frozen in mid air by the Eye of Heaven, unable to move.

"You!"

Happy Fleece Fairy burst angrily. Her epochal immortal treasure Qian Kun Treasure Box was a black and white box, and it suddenly shook with wondrous power, as she attempted to break free of the Eye of Heaven seal.

Alas, her power was a little lacking. Even with her epochal immortal treasure, the Qian Kun Treasure Box was unable to break her free.

She started to sweat.

"Spirit Overgrowth!"

She used her last resort, a powerful Mystique that tapped on the power of the Qian Kun Treasure Box. It could be used even if she was paralyzed.

A dense life force soon bloomed into an entire forest, and all kinds of flora appeared in the void. They grew inexorably towards Yang Qiang, binding him. Even the Eye of Heaven was bound shut, unable to use its sealing powers from before!

Thanks to her overgrowth ability, Yang Qiang was trussed up tight, unable to move an inch, while Happy Fleece Fairy was now free of her own bindings. She seemed to have the upper hand.

But only for a moment. A column of light roared forth at Yang Qiang’s location, and his Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd flew forth, cutting through the trees. It suddenly appeared beside Happy Fleece Fairy!

"What?"

This attack was too sudden for her to deal with. Happy Fleece Fairy had only just recovered from the Eye of Heaven’s paralyzing effects, and Yang Qiang’s next attack had already landed.

Besides, it was even stronger than Yang Qiang’s attacks previously.

Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd was an elite epochal immortal treasure. Finally, here in the Immortal Emperor Trials, it could reveal its true strength. Happy Fleece Fairy was helpless before it. Her Qian Kun Treasure Box blocked the blow for her at the last moment, btu she was sent flying, her slim body flying limply through the air and out of the arena.

Yang Qiang had shown not a shred of mercy against his female opponent. He had gone for the kill all throughout.

In the end, his Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd epochal immortal treasure had crushed her. It had been a spectacular fight, but the result was clear - Yang Qiang was much stronger than Happy Fleece Fairy was!

This was an even more decisive victory than Wu Yu’s win over Lei Tianyuan, which surprised everyone present.

Even the senior immortal emperors had called this battle even, leaving it down to luck and execution. But now it seemed that they were all wrong.

Yang Qiang was much stronger than Happy Fleece Fairy, even compared to what Wu Yu and Lei Tianyuan had shown.

The Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd in his hand was the ultimate weapon, and Happy Fleece Fairy had been completely powerless against it. Even those like Wu Yu or Lei Tianyuan would be hard-pressed, right?

Wu Yu himself was a little shaken.

He had witnessed Yang Qiang’s terrifying skill for himself now. He was much stronger than Lei Tianyuan. Wu Yu himself had had to use many different techniques in order to beat Lei Tianyuan.

To win Yang Qiang, he would need more than he had!

"If I meet Yang Qiang, I have to be extremely careful."

Wu Yu now treated Yang Qiang as target number one.

His goal was to be first in the Immortal Emperor Trials, which meant he could not lose. Whether Yang Qiang or Li Tianji, he had to find a way to beat them, and prove that the Patriarch Bodhi had done right to help him.

The astonishing power that Yang Qiang had shown in the second round aroused a wave of interest.

Many of the immortal emperors were congratulating True Lord Erlang for raising a fine son. An asset like Yang Qiang was a fitting successor to him, and a blessing for the Yang family.

Even Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress, the mother of Happy Fleece Fairy gave her congratulations to True Lord Erlang.

Although Happy Fleece Fairy had lost, but Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress was not at all unhappy, only a little regretful.

They were all immortal emperors in the sky palaces. No matter whose child grew strong, it would help to cement their position as a whole. As long as it wasn’t a wild card like Wu Yu, who had come from the mortals, they could accept any other outcome.

Yang Qiang immediately cemented his spot as a hot favorite, all over again.

They looked forward to see who would be the one to eventually take the win among them. In comparison, there were not many mortal-born immortal kings left after two rounds.

Wu Yu was the most promising among them.

Two rounds were over, and the top 32 emerged, Wu Yu among them.

Most of the remaining competitors were immortal emperor descendants. The immortal emperor seniors were well pleased with the proceedings, especially favoring Yang Qiang and Li Tianji to win.

"Looks like your chances of winning aren’t high, Old Wu."

Full Moon of Nanshan plcuked at his chin. "Lookit that Yang Qiang. He’s so damned capable, perhaps more so than you. And that Li Tianji still looking so comfy. He must be capable of similar, right? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

"What are you blabbing on about?"

Ye Xixi seized his ear. "Big brother Yu is so strong. Besides the immortal emperors, who else dares to fight him? Even Yang Qiang or Li Tianji. Do you think big brother Wu Yu can’t beat them all?"

"Alright, alright. Big brother Wu Yu is the best. Big brother Wu Yu is the strongest. Does that satisfy you?" Full Moon of Nanshan was quick to beg for mercy.

"You think you’re qualified to call him big brother Wu Yu?!" Ye Xixi did not let up, her hand continuing to rotate. Squeals sounded as if a pig was dying......

Wu Yu did not mind their banter.

He was analyzing Yang Qiang’s moves. Even the Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd’s onslaught would not be fatal to him, but Yang Qiang had clearly not gone all out in this fight.

If he still had moves hidden, then fighting him would be very difficult indeed.

"But compared to the Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd, the Ruyi Jingu Bang is its equal or stronger!"

Wu Yu had faith in the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

If he met Yang Qiang, he would not lose!

Back at Sage’s Equal Sky, the Ruyi Jingu Bang had even beaten up Yang Qiang’s daddy, smashing Yang Jian’s Eye of Heaven. Of course he could beat the son!

The second round ended, and there was another year of rest.

Discussions broke out, weighing chances and odds. No one was betting on Wu Yu.

Yang Qiang’s battle had overshadowed him in an instant.

A year later, the third round began!

In this, every pairing was stronger. For example, Wu Yu was facing someone as strong as a first-tier immortal emperor. He was facing a girl, but it made no difference to him.
