Chapter 1407: Prismatic Thunderball
Wu Yu"s Lasting Blood Banner had wrapped her smoking-hot body up, and she felt like she had been thrown into a swarm of billions of bloodthirsty ants!
If Wu Yu wished, he could reduce this gorgeous girl into withered bones.
No matter how pure or beautiful one"s face or body was, before death and heavenly rule, there was no difference.
Everyone was watching with s.h.i.+ning eyes. Besides the two of them, everyone else was at the Great Void Ghostly Realm. The outcome of the battle was more than obvious.
Victory had already been decided!
The ghostly kings knew, and Wu Yu knew as well. The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord could not be in doubt either.
The moment she had been coiled up in the Lasting Blood heavenly rule, she was in danger, her life hanging by a thread.
"Impossible...." She was naturally stunned. She could not believe it, would not believe it!
She still remembered how she had defeated her elder brother many times in the past, each time easier than the last. But now, at such a crucial battle, he had actually grown so much....
"Little Sister has impressive talents. But your elder brother has triumphed this time. Good fight."
Wu Yu had not hurt her with the Lasting Blood Banner, which was very generous. Instead, he gave it a flick, sending the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord flying out from it. Besides a few wounds from the skirmish before, she was more or less unharmed.
Of course, he himself was wounded in many places, thanks to the Amethyst h.e.l.l Shadowy G.o.d Starry Sword.
Wu Yu smiled, the Lasting Blood Banner in hand.
The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord got to her feet and flew into a rage after seeing Wu Yu so smug!
"Shut up! It"s not over...."
Before she could finish speaking, the Chakravarti Ghostly King cut her off. "It IS over. Don"t push it."
All others present were at the Great Void Ghostly Realm, and they could not possibly have misjudged this battle.
The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord had no choice but to accept her father"s judgment, as unwilling as she was. Her face was grey from anger, her chest heaving as she stared at Wu Yu spitefully with her amethyst-colored eyes, longing to end him.
"Don"t be too angry. Losing to your big brother is nothing shameful. If you get any angrier, those little bunnies will pop out." Wu Yu gestured at her chest.
This was the type of insolent and despicable remark that was characteristic of the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord.
But Wu Yu had a reason for saying such rude things. During the fight, he had displayed a battle will completely different from what the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord had shown in the past. Some would definitely suspect him, so he had to play the sleazy side up to dispel their suspicions. After all, they saw the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord as a wretched being who could not change his habits.
"You!" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord almost burst a vein from anger, quivering with rage. She had lost this time, and was struggling with the outcome. She had been so close to sealing him up for 50,000 years!
"I say, Little Sister, don"t be too discouraged. Work hard at cultivation, and perhaps in a few thousand years, you might surpa.s.s me." Wu Yu chuckled merrily.
"Wait and see!" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was so mad that she was calm again. She knew that strength was the right to speak. She had lost today, so Wu Yu could strut as much as he wanted. All she could do was take it.
She simply could not wrap her mind around how Wu Yu had won despite his strength being unchanged.
"Father, I"m happy that I did not let you down." Wu Yu did not dare play with fire too much. After taunting the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord a little, he turned to the Chakravarti Ghostly King. The Chakravarti Ghostly King had already made his promise. Naturally, Wu Yu could follow him now.
In truth, Wu Yu"s performance today had naturally taken the Chakravarti Ghostly King himself by surprise, but he maintained an impa.s.sive face. He looked Wu Yu over and said, "Seems like you have worked hard recently. You"ve managed to barely get yourself on the right track. But you are still worlds away from winning my satisfaction. Come!"
Saying so, he turned away, and Wu Yu naturally stuck to him. The 10,000 Bones Ghostly King and the Amethyst Soul Ghostly King had yet to react.
However, riding on Wu Yu"s coattails, they, too, could return to the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s camp and move along with him.
Wu Yu followed to the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s right, while behind him was the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord to the left. At this time, Wu Yu continued to waggle his eyebrows at her, expressing his smugness as fully as he could.
The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord gritted her teeth, but she could only choose not to look at him.
"In less than a month, I will challenge you again. At that time, I will have you crawling on the floor, picking up your teeth. Or I will do as you please!" the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord declared in a frosty tone.
"Really? Will you kneel before me and bark like a little b.i.t.c.h?" Wu Yu was very interested.
"Sc.u.mbag!" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was seething inside, infuriated by the cheeky smile her "big brother" was wearing.
But in the presence of the Chakravarti Ghostly King, Wu Yu did not dare to go overboard, and soon turned his attention to the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s goal.
"What you are about to see in a while cannot be told out, you three. If I find that news has been leaked, the culprit will be killed, even if it be my own son or daughter!"
The Chakravarti Ghostly King turned back to regard Wu Yu, the 10,000 Bones Ghostly King, and the Amethyst Soul Ghostly King. Because they were the three newcomers.
He spoke in a chilling tone that no one could dismiss. It impressed on them how scary he could be. This was the power of his heavenly rule. If the three of them wanted to reveal the secret, they would definitely pause when they recalled the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s manner today.
"h.e.l.l Master, we will definitely protect the secret. We will not speak of anything we see, or accept the judgment of the h.e.l.l Master. The two of us have been loyally following the h.e.l.l Master for more than three yuan, and we thank the h.e.l.l Master for his trust in us!"
As for Wu Yu, he said, "I will naturally not divulge the secrets of our family. Even I know that much at least."
The Chakravarti Ghostly King leveled a serious glare at each of them, a stern warning that they could not miss.
Actually, Wu Yu was quite excited. This meant that the Chakravarti Ghostly King might have already found out the reason for the changes within the core of the Chakravarti-raja Star.
He could lead the way and save Wu Yu a lot of b.u.mping about in the dark.
Wu Yu had snuck in, defeated the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord out of the blue, and not only avoided punishment, but had even won a place in the group, moving together with the Chakravarti Ghostly King. This sequence of events was as good as he could ask for.
"What has happened at the Chakravarti-raja Star? This is clearly not his first day knowing about the change. This means that the change might not be so easily dealt with. Which means that it might have something to do with the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King. It means that the change might originate from the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King itself!"
This was Wu Yu"s guess.
The inside of the star was complicated, and so the Chakravarti Ghostly King continued to lead them on a winding course forward. Following him, Wu Yu noted that this secret location was indeed hard to find.
"This is indeed a confusing place. If it had been me alone, it might have taken me a month or more."
The Chakravarti Ghostly King and the others continued to move deeper in. Nearby, the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord did not even want to look at Wu Yu, sparing herself the anger. After all, she had been the one to deliver this chance for Wu Yu to turn the tables.
Somewhere along the way, Wu Yu noticed that the electrical current had increased multifold, to the point that normal ghostly immortals could not stand it. It far surpa.s.sed the heat of the magma itself!
"Something to do with the lightning?"
He followed them forward, curious. The more they advanced, the stronger the current in the magma was. The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord had to use autonomous realm power to protect herself.
The electricity had already become very p.r.o.nounced in the magma, forming a dense, writhing ma.s.s of little, electric snakes. They were multi-colored, and sparked randomly in the magma, occasionally coming into contact with their skin and delivering a numbing sensation. Those that came very close would numb even Wu Yu"s formidable body, so he was forced to use autonomous realm power to defend himself too. Otherwise, a mere Immortal Lord Realm cultivator being able to withstand it would be too strange.
"We"re here."
Suddenly, he heard the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s voice from ahead. Wu Yu was still winding his way through the electric snakes. When he lifted his head, what he saw in front through his Eyes of Fire and Gold made him jump in fright!
Before him was the core of the Chakravarti-raja Star. It was full of burning substances, some sort of molten metal composite made up of precious treasures and materials of the finest grade. The heat here would have incinerated any ordinary Immortal Lord Realm cultivator.
But the heat was not the main point.
Before Wu Yu"s eyes was a huge thunderball. The thunderball seemed to have taken the place of the star"s core. The multicolored thunderball was a dense sphere of electric snakes winding together. There were billions of them, wriggling like a ball of worms. Although they were a distance away, Wu Yu could imagine what it would take to resist that level of voltage.
This was what Wu Yu was searching for!
The damage inflicted by this thunderball must have been causing the star"s core to crumble. It was agitating the magma, causing the surface to split, and cracking apart the entire Chakravarti-raja Star. The Chakravarti-raja Star probably could not heal if this thunderball remained.
Wu Yu could not go near the thunderball. The lightning serpents would probably electrocute him to ashes if he tried. It was a frightful thing. It seemed dormant for now, but if it became more active, the devastation it could inflict was unimaginable. It could probably destroy the entire Astral h.e.l.l without difficulty.
That was a real problem for Wu Yu.
He heard the Chakravarti Ghostly King say, "This is a Prismatic Thunderball. Legends say that the epochal immortal designs within can only be fas.h.i.+oned by eternal devil emperors, and it would also take a very long time. Who can say why this Prismatic Thunderball has appeared here?"
