Chapter 1405: Electrical Magma
Hearing this, the Ruling Fate Immortal Lord was weak at the knees, and he felt faint.
This was h.e.l.l!
Just as Wu Yu had told him, all might be smooth sailing before he came, but now he had run smack bang into a wall!
Just as he was raging and quivering, another of his Ruling Sky Immortal Tribe brethren was killed!
Four were already dead. Only 16 of the 20 remained.
If this continued, they were doomed.
Wu Yu and the ghostly kings" evildoing made them realize how different this place was from the sky palaces. They held no fear in their hearts, nor law in their regard.
"Retreat!" the Ruling Fate Immortal Lord finally shouted. At this time, he pulled out an ancient immortal talisman from somewhere and threw it in the air. The talisman exploded into white mist that enveloped all of them. Wu Yu saw through it with his Eyes of Fire and Gold. They were using the confusion created by this mist to escape. Soon enough, they were very far away. As for Wu Yu and the others, they had been redirected by it. After chasing for a while, they lost the trail.
"d.a.m.n, these immortals are quite capable! To have such fleeing methods!" Wu Yu said, disappointed.
"Escaped? We didn"t catch a single one?" The two ghostly kings were not satisfied. The six great immortal beauties had gotten their appet.i.tes fired up, and they were already picturing what they would do to them. Now that they had escaped, the two were naturally unhappy.
"If we had known, we would have just gone straight to the master."
"Forget it. If we told the master, do you think the beauties would have come our way?"
Wu Yu looked rather disappointed, but his goal had actually been achieved. As an immortal, he naturally did not wish to see ghostly immortals kill too many immortals. This result was sufficient to instill fear in their hearts, so they would not dare to come to the Chakravarti-raja Star anymore. After all, this was where the ghostly kings were most frequently gathered. Given their abilities and exceptionally obvious signature, it would be very difficult for them to search the Chakravarti-raja Star openly.
As opposed to Wu Yu, who could move freely around the Chakravarti-raja Star in the ident.i.ty of the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. This was Wu Yu"s natural ability and advantage.
"Not chasing?"
"We don"t even know where they went, we can"t chase them."
All three looked very glum.
The Amethyst Soul Ghostly King asked, "Young Master, should we tell the master?"
Wu Yu shook his head. "Forget it. If we tell him, he"ll definitely scold us for not informing him and letting them escape. There"ll be no reward, only punishment."
"Makes sense...."
"Wasn"t there news before that some immortal killed the Blood Robed Ghostly King? Might have been this bunch. If they ganged up on him, they might have been able to pull it off."
"A bunch of young talents, here to seek an adventure in h.e.l.l? Haha. Look at them with their fiery att.i.tudes - they"ll probably come again. We have to be on our guard. Next time, we should be more careful not to let them escape, and we can"t let others get the sweet prize either. Those immortal honeys looked pretty sweet to me. We could even sell them for a high price."
After talking so much, the Amethyst Soul Ghostly King finally thought of something. "Young Master, are we still going inside the Chakravarti-raja Star?"
"Yes! Of course we go!" Wu Yu feigned a boost of confidence after the battle, and enthusiasm to go in.
Actually, he had planned to go in from the start.
"Alright. Then we two old farts will follow the prince," the Amethyst Soul Ghostly King and the 10,000 Bones Ghostly King said.
The two of them had not yet found anything strange about Wu Yu.
All three landed on the ground again. Wu Yu decided on a fissure. However, it was being guarded by some of the Chakravarti Imperial Army.
The small squad hurried forward to bar their way, seeing that people were approaching. After they saw Wu Yu, they immediately said, "We greet the young master."
"One side," Wu Yu said irritably. Of course, he was imitating the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord"s manner.
"Is the young master going down?" a Chakravarti Imperial Army leader asked.
"What d.a.m.ned business is it of yours, you nosy p.r.i.c.k?" Wu Yu cursed.
The leader knelt on the ground, cowering. "This humble creature begs your forgiveness for his prying, but the master has commanded the ban from entering the fissures. And so I...."
"You"re trying to scare me with my father"s name?" Wu Yu"s eyes opened maliciously.
"I would not dare!" He was on his knees, begging for mercy.
"Scram." Wu Yu stepped over him, moving towards the fissure. He said, "Listen up, all who are here. If you let my father know that I went in, I"ll kill your entire families! Men and women, old and young, I"ll kill them all! Make them all into vengeful spirits to refine my Lasting Blood Banner. If you all behave, no one will know. As for me, I"m just going in quietly for a look, and then coming out quietly. Got it?"
They were all terrified, falling to the ground and gibbering. They chorused, "Understood!"
They were pale. The White-Eyed Ghostly Lord"s reputation promised that he would enforce that threat!
He did such things frequently as well.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Yu had entered the fissure sealed off by the immortal design.
"Commander, do we not report this up?"
"Fool, of course not!" The commander"s face was green. "No one is to know of this. You know what fate awaits us. I am not punis.h.i.+ng you, but you all know the ways of the young master all too well!"
"But if the young master is harmed inside...."
The commander shouted angrily, "You imbecile! As long as we don"t say a thing, who will know that the young master entered from our fissure!? There are so many all around the Chakravarti-raja Star! We are just p.a.w.ns! Shut up and we"ll stay alive!"
"Understood!" They all nodded fearfully.
On the other side, Wu Yu had entered the deep fissure. At first there was nothing but hard rock, and then it gave way to crumbling, black soil. In the deeper parts, even the soil grew more mushy and hot. After heading down for about an hour, the heat was already fearsome. One could even see the terrifying magma bubbling furiously. h.e.l.l"s magma was different from the magma in the mortal domain. Ordinary ghostly immortals or immortals who entered it would be burnt to death.
"It"s really hot down here. Young Master, are you holding up well?" the Amethyst Soul Ghostly King asked concernedly.
"How can I not bear some discomfort in order to accomplish great feats? I must find the answer to ease my father"s worries!" Wu Yu vowed, looking full of conviction and bravery.
He was indeed starting to inspect the place. With these two around, he could not use the Eyes of Fire and Gold, but in exchange, he could have their help. Soon, they entered the magma directly. They protected themselves while searching the magma for the source of the Chakravarti-raja Star’s destruction.
"If there are changes, the Chakravarti Ghostly King might have already found it long ago. Or perhaps it"s a change that only an immortal can discover?"
If that was so, then he stood a higher chance.
The Chakravarti-raja Star was huge. Even the inside of the star was boundless, and its internal structure was complex.
Wu Yu looked everywhere, searching every inch. Even the two ghostly kings noted that he showed unbelievable patience in this endeavor.
"The young master seems to have changed recently," the Amethyst Soul Ghostly King said.
Wu Yu said, "I have no choice. This comparison with the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord... I must win my father"s trust anew. Otherwise, he will give the good things to the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord only, and the difference between us will only grow greater. In the future, the t.i.tle of h.e.l.l Master will not belong to me."
"Young Master"s thinking is really... Ah, I mean the young master is really foresighted. You are indeed right. Young Master must outs.h.i.+ne the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord"s performance," the 10,000 Bones Ghostly King said sheepishly.
Not even they favored the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. In such a chaotic time, he was only adding fuel to the flames. If the h.e.l.l Master knew about this, he would be angry. Besides, they did not think that Wu Yu would find anything.
But Wu Yu"s patience this time around made them see him differently. The young master was not like this in the past.
This search had taken them a full three days. If not for the fact that his clones could not stand the heat, Wu Yu would probably have sent out his one million doppelgangers to search.
For now, he could only find bubbling magma everywhere, but nothing special.
The only discovery was that besides heat, there was actually an electrical current running through the magma. If they were not at the Immortal Lord Realm, they might even be electrocuted to death before being burnt to death.
Wu Yu guessed that this current might be the key. Therefore, he followed the magma towards where the electrical current was strongest.
He was searching very seriously. Suddenly, there was a terrifying presence in front. Wu Yu started. He understood. The Chakravarti Ghostly King and the others must be nearby, and he had run into them. Or more accurately, they had discovered him, and were coming over.
"Who is it!?"
A powerful, gripping force seized Wu Yu and the other two. They were paralyzed, and even the two ghostly kings looked wretched!
But very quickly, the Chakravarti Ghostly King realized that it was them. He did not treat them as enemies, but the great pressure was still around. At this time, the Chakravarti Ghostly King led his contingent to appear before Wu Yu. His s.e.xy but cold sister, the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, was also there. Besides her, everyone else was a ghostly king.
"You again!" Seeing that it was Wu Yu, the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s face turned green. "Didn"t I tell you to behave!? Why are you here causing trouble again!? You know that I ordered that all trespa.s.sers be put to death!"
Saying so, he delivered another solid backhand to Wu Yu. The price to pay for using the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord"s ident.i.ty. Wu Yu took it.
"Father, you have to punish him real good, or he won"t be afraid. Lock him up for 10,000 years and make him repent," the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord said, her eyes alight with pleasure at the trouble he was in.
