Chapter 1411: Dark Moon Soul-and-Spirit Domination Skill
After 10 days, Chakravarti Ghostly King led them into the depths of Chakravarti-raja Star again.
Wu Yu had also followed, and they were soon before the majestic epochal immortal design of the Prismatic Thunderball.
Countless lightning serpents of various colors had come together in a sphere, a frenzied, thras.h.i.+ng swarm that emitted ear-splitting shrieks. The destructiveness of the electricity had already surpa.s.sed the threat of the igneous heat.
The Prismatic Thunderball seemed to have grown larger, causing the electricity to become even more violent and spark with greater intensity. The entire Chakravarti-raja Star was shaking even more strongly now.
Chakravarti Ghostly King and the others immediately entered their experimentations, while Wu Yu and Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord remained a distance away.
The very s.e.xy Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord had bickered with Wu Yu all the way. She was still resentful about her two losses.
In order to act the part of White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, Wu Yu continued to throw low blows at Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, which she deflected. This made Wu Yu look foolish, just like the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord.
A good disguise.
Until now, Wu Yu had not yet given anyone reason to suspect him, besides the startling feat of defeating Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord twice in a row.
"Did you know? Father has a 3rd Grade Mark of an Immortal King and a 5th Grade Mark of an Immortal King prepared for us." Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord puffed her chest out proudly and looked at Wu Yu.
"Of course I know. The 3rd Grade Mark of an Immortal King is for you. After all you"re a girl. Weaker s.e.x." Wu Yu sn.i.g.g.e.red.
"Hehe. Everyone knows who the 3rd Grade Mark of an Immortal King is for. You"re the only one still dreaming." Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord shot in reply.
Wu Yu said: "I am the senior, and stronger than you. Someone who lost to me, take the 5th Grade Mark of an Immortal King? Wouldn"t that be a waste?"
"Better not say lose too many times. Or you will feel it yourself when it comes back to bite you."
Wu Yu smiled. "I"ll be waiting then. A smelly wench like you trying to compete with me. That"s biting off more than you can chew."
The compet.i.tion between the two were actually largely also concerned with the two Marks of an Immortal King. Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord knew about the two Marks of an Immortal King long ago. This was also why she was always trying to demonstrate that she was better than Wu Yu.
"Perhaps before long, the 5th Grade Mark of an Immortal King will be in my hands. Just wait for that time, and you can cry." Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord huffed.
Wu Yu had made her very jealous in this time. All this while, she had thought that she had left White-Eyed Ghostly Lord far behind, a playboy and wastrel. But now he seemed to have changed!
If not, she would not even have spared Wu Yu a second thought.
.........
Perhaps because of the intrusion of immortals, Chakravarti Ghostly King was even more absorbed this time, throwing all his concentration into wrestling with the epochal immortal design. He wanted to pa.s.s through the immortal design. The other ghostly kings were helping him. It was quite a serious battle, and they also risked their lives in the process!
Even Chakravarti Ghostly King was risking his own life.
A waterside pavilion enjoys the moonlight first. This was an opportunity for a great transformation. He would not give up on it simply because there were risks involved. Therefore, Wu Yu watched him marshal his ghostly kings and focus their thoughts, struggling to break the Prismatic Thunderball. There was no notion of night or day here. Wu Yu could only watch from the sidelines with Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord.
It was too dangerous over there, and they could not get close. Wu Yu realized that his own body could actually withstand similar damage to the others, but he was afraid of raising their suspicions. Therefore, he was trying to think of a way to get close on his own, and examine it up close.
There was still time for now, and he was not particularly anxious.
This time round, they spent three months. Chakravarti Ghostly King and the others fought day after day, showing no signs of stopping.
One day, Chakravarti Ghostly King suddenly received an immortal message talisman. After reading it, he laughed loudly. "Come, we"re going out."
"Father, what has happened?" Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord immediately went to cosy up to him.
Chakravarti Ghostly King was in a good mood. "No breakthrough here, but they caught an immortal outside. I want to go and see why they came!"
"Immortal?" Wu Yu started.
He had thought that Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the others had been taught a lesson, and would not dare to do anything rash for a while. But to think that someone had come forward to risk it.
"Should be a loner. Otherwise, they would not have caught just one."
After all, the defenses around Chakravarti-raja Star had gotten stricter as well.
Wu Yu was trying to guess who it was as they left swiftly from the core of the Chakravarti-raja Star. Back on the surface, the person had already been captured and brought back to the Chakravarti Ghostly King"s residence. It was the grandest place on the whole of Chakravarti-raja Star. Of course, it was not far from White-Eyed Ghostly Lord"s own Tianyi White Residence.
They were used to calling this place h.e.l.l master"s residence!
Even before they were near, they could hear a loud commotion from within. Someone was shouting and cursing at the top of his voice. The voice was male.
"Could it be Gu Huo Immortal Lord who recklessly came in alone?" Wu Yu guessed.
Very quickly, they landed at h.e.l.l master"s residence, and Wu Yu could make out the words clearly now. The person was shouting: "You ghostly immortals, listen up! I am Zhao Yuanchen, the son of Zhao Gongming, one of the 36 Heavenly Generals of the sky palaces! Release me immediately! Or your Astral h.e.l.l will be reduced to rubble!"
"It"s him!"
Wu Yu saw Zhao Yuanchen. In truth, he was quite surprised. Zhao Yuanchen was not the first group of people to enter. This meant that others had broken past the perimeter and entered the door to the Astral h.e.l.l.
It would take a month or two to get from the point of entry to Chakravarti-raja Star, which meant that Zhao Yuanchen had already entered two months before.
But evidently he was moving alone, which meant that he had probably entered alone. He had likely not met with Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the others, otherwise he would not have been so easily captured.
Now, he was struggling between two ghostly kings. He was terribly frightened. After all, it was his first time witnessing the methods of the ghostly immortals. He immediately revealed his ident.i.ty, and that of the Zhao Immortal Tribe.
Many ghostly kings had already landed before him, and Wu Yu as well, although he was not recognized.
Chakravarti Ghostly King was the leader, and walked up to regard Zhao Yuanchen. An immense mental pressure was applied as he regarded him. "You say you are the son of Zhao Gongming?"
Zhao Yuanchen puffed his chest out. "Indeed I am! Release me immediately! What business do you have capturing me?"
Hearing this, they all burst into laughter. Even Chakravarti Ghostly King laughed, patting him on the head. "What business you say? Because this is the d.a.m.ned 10,000 Levels of h.e.l.l, of course! You came trespa.s.sing on our territory, and ask us what business we have capturing you? It would be reasonable even if we killed you, wouldn"t it! A plucky immortal dares to come here, who even knows who you are! If I were captured in the sky palaces, I would say I"m the son of the king of Yanluo w.a.n.g as well."
"You!
[TN: Yanluo w.a.n.g is the ruler of the underworld in Chinese mythology.] I can prove my ident.i.ty!" Zhao Yuanchen shouted, angry and worried.
"I don"t need your proof. I don"t care who you are. Let me tell you. If you want to live, you must answer my questions!"
Chakravarti Ghostly King boomed, his voice shaking every last inch of Zhao Yuanchen. He was too feeble compared to a ghostly king of a h.e.l.l master"s caliber.
"Are you also here for that thing? The last time I captured many immortals and killed many too. They were called Primeval Mighty Miracle G.o.d tribe or some such. Do you know them?" Chakravarti Ghostly King demanded.
"You killed them?" Zhao Yuanchen gasped, his legs almost giving way.
"Bunch of fleas dare to enter my territory, and even talked back to me. Why shouldn"t I kill them? Kid, look around you. This is h.e.l.l." Chakravarti Ghostly King again burst into hearty laughter, that was picked up by everyone else.
Zhao Yuanchen was truly frightened now. He had not met with Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the others, and therefore did not know the situation. Chakravarti Ghostly King had even mentioned Primeval Mighty Miracle G.o.d tribe, and his version smacked of the truth.
"Answer the question. Are you also here for that thing?!" Chakravarti Ghostly King suddenly turned stern.
"Yes! Yes!" Zhao Yuanchen hastily answered.
Chakravarti Ghostly King had an idea now. This meant there was a "thing", and the thing that the immortals wanted was likely within the Prismatic Thunderball.
"And what is the thing?" Chakravarti Ghostly King pressed.
"You don"t know?" Zhao Yuanchen finally understood why he was being captured. So they did not know. He was thinking that if the ghostly immortals knew, then all their chances of obtaining the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King would be lessened.
"Speak." Chakravarti Ghostly King said coldly.
"Release me, and I will tell you!" Zhao Yuanchen bargained. He sensed that they actually believed his ident.i.ty.
Therefore, he still had a chance to escape!
Because they were just here to ask questions.
But he guessed wrongly. Chakravarti Ghostly King was not a patient person.
One ghostly king said: "h.e.l.l master, use the Dark Moon Soul-and-Spirit Domination Skill. All will be clear. Spare everyone his nonsense."
Chakravarti Ghostly King laughed chillingly. "If you will not have wine, have vinegar. Brace yourself, it"s quite uncomfortable." He reached out a hand, ready to begin.
Zhao Yuanchen paled, and hastily said: "No! Don"t! I"ll tell all!"
But Chakravarti Ghostly King had run out of patience. He immediately used Dark Moon Soul-and-Spirit Domination Skill, directly retrieving the memories he needed.
"Who knows if what you say is true or false? But my Dark Moon Soul-and-Spirit Domination Skill never lies." Chakravarti Ghostly King cackled. He clamped a palm on Zhao Yuanchen"s head, and inky-green smoke begin to spout from his hand. A burst of cold air hissed out from within. Zhao Yuanchen"s eyes bulged as he began to howl! It was clearly a torturous process, but before long his entire body was frozen over, and he was rendered as speechless as a corpse. His eyes were still locked wide open, staring blankly ahead.
"Father, better not kill him. He might really be an immortal emperor"s son. If we kill him, we"re in trouble." Wu Yu added.
Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord sneered: "Idiot, do you think father doesn"t know? Does he need your lecturing?"
