Chapter 1691: Great Eastern Emperor Sword
One year in the sky palaces pa.s.sed by in a blink of an eye.
The fifth round of the Immortal Emperor Trials was about to start.
At this point, only 8 compet.i.tors remained. During the one year of rest, all of them had already visualised how they would face their opponents.
In fact, they were prepared to face any opponent.
The Wheel of Taichi spun as Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor appeared and announced the start of the fifth round of the Immortal Emperor Trials. That bright light flickered and finally shone onto Wu Yu.
He was actually the first to fight for the fifth round!
"Old Wu, do your best. Regardless of your opponent, beat him s.h.i.+tless!" Full Moon of Nanshan cheered loudly, ignoring the strange looks that others gave him.
Many immortal emperors from the sky palaces scoffed at Full Moon of Nanshan"s words. Mortal-born immortals were indeed distasteful and could only speak vulgar words!
"If I"m his opponent, I shall tear him apart. At that time, let"s see how arrogant he can remain!" Li Tianji muttered maliciously. He would love to have the light of the Wheel of Taichi s.h.i.+ning on him next.
However, the Wheel of Taichi continued to spin and stopped only when the bright light shone on a woman.
That woman was one of Li Tianji"s admirers, Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord"s daughter, Peach Cloud Fairy!
During this period of time, Peach Cloud Fairy had already investigated Wu Yu and Luo Pin. She knew that they were both immortals who came from mortal realms. They had no noteworthy background.
However, upon reaching the sky palaces, Luo Pin actually joined the Mystical dragon tribe and became one of the most treasured talents from the Mystical dragon tribe. While Wu Yu managed to become the Patriarch Bodhi"s disciple.
To Peach Cloud Fairy, this couple"s achievements were purely attributed to extreme good luck. Otherwise there was no way they could reach their current positions.
"Hmph, how dare these two pheasants act so high and mighty in the sky palaces!" Peach Cloud Fairy entered the battlefield with a cold expression when she saw that her opponent was Wu Yu.
She looked down on Wu Yu. In fact, she thought that all mortal-born immortals were low born. They had no right to stand on the same stage as her and fight her.
Actually, the truth was that she only hated Luo Pin and thought that a lowly being like Luo Pin had no right to be liked by Li Tianji.
And Li Tianji should like her instead.
It was because of this hatred towards Luo Pin that she hated Wu Yu as well. She wanted to humiliate Wu Yu in battle and force them to understand how lowly they were!
"Wu Yu, you have no right to be my opponent!"
Upon entering the battlefield, Peach Cloud Fairy looked at Wu Yu with disgust: "If not for luck, you will still be struggling at the lowest rungs of the sky palaces. How would you even have the chance to take part in such a grand event? How dare you try to gain fame in the Immortal Emperor Trials!"
Wu Yu could tell that she despised him but he did not care.
Strength never discriminated according to status.
As long as one was powerful enough, so what if he was low born?
On the contrary, this Peach Cloud Fairy was obviously just a spoilt little girl. She had never experienced any hards.h.i.+p before. While she might be strong, her strength was simply a result of her elders" efforts and resources. Wu Yu had only contempt for such people.
"Speaking of luck, if not for your good luck in being born into an immortal emperor"s family, would you be able to stand here today?"
Wu Yu retorted scornfully. Since the other party disrespected him, he shall not be polite too. Anyway, he had never been afraid of the Peach Cloud Fairy.
"You... ... rude!"
Peach Cloud Fairy was enraged. How dare this low born retort and challenge her?
"I will tear your mouth apart!"
Peach Cloud Fairy"s eyes burnt with rage. She raised her hand and summoned her heavenly rule: "Purple Sun Heavenly Rule!"
This mystique was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power. With a wave of her hand, purple qi rolled out like a tsunami from the east and covered Wu Yu. It was as though the entire sky was falling. This horrifying pressure pressed onto Wu Yu.
While the Peach Cloud Fairy had casually executed this mystique, this Purple Sun Heavenly Rule was still quite powerful.
Wu Yu faced the attack seriously. His sanctified flesh heavenly rule burst out and surrounded his body, raising his strength to another level.
His abyssal heavenly rule was activated next.
The power of abyssal heavenly rule instantly filled the s.p.a.ce around Wu Yu and exploded. The void ripping power spread out and devoured the sky full of Purple Sun Heavenly Rule!
Both parties" strength collided in the battlefield and the entire Giant Astral Prison was filled with explosions. This showed how intense the battle was.
As the battle started, the immortal emperors on the spectator stands began to a.n.a.lyse the fight.
"Peach Cloud Fairy is powerful, but Wu Yu is strong too. Putting their status aside, these two should be evenly matched."
"If you are talking about their strength alone, they are indeed evenly matched. But don"t you forget, the Peach Cloud Fairy is the Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord"s daugther. I heard that she inherited the epochal immortal treasure, Great Eastern Emperor Sword. This epochal immortal treasure is extremely powerful!"
"That"s right, I heard that the Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord specially hired a legendary blacksmith just to forge this Great Eastern Emperor Sword. It is made specially for Peach Cloud Fairy and she can execute its full powers!"
The immortal emperors were discussing enthusiastically and looking forward to the result of this battle. After all, no one could tell for sure who would win this round.
While Peach Cloud Fairy had the Great Eastern Emperor Sword, Wu Yu had an impressive weapon too. Many, including True Lord Erlang were curious about Wu Yu"s epochal immortal treasure.
True Lord Erlang had used the Eye of Heaven to imprison Wu Yu and his friends at the Sage"s Equal Sky. However, Wu Yu"s epochal immortal treasure worked with two other treasures to break free of his Eye of Heaven. This incident was a thorn in his heart.
It was also because of this that he paid so much attention to Wu Yu.
However, Wu Yu was now Patriarch Bodhi"s disciple. It would not be easy for him to investigate Wu Yu. Hence, he had learnt nothing new recently.
The heavenly rule powers of both parties first clash resulted in an even match.
"Hmph!"
Peach Cloud Fairy could not be bothered to argue anymore with Wu Yu. She only wanted to defeat him quickly.
She looked down upon Wu Yu from the bottom of her heart. She felt that it was beneath her to fight on the same stage as Wu Yu.
"Grand Sun Heavenly Rule!"
Peach Cloud Fairy shouted and an unbearably hot aura gushed from the battlefield. A fiery sun closely followed, forming in the middle of the void. When this fiery sun appeared, the entire void was transformed into a furnace.
Extreme heat distorted the s.p.a.ce in the battlefield. Under the scorching sun, even Wu Yu"s Invincible Vajra Body seemed to be melting.
"Devour!"
Wu Yu"s eyes seemed to burn with flames and soon the pitch-black power of devouring heavenly rule bloomed from his body. These heavenly rule power coupled with Wu Yu"s combat heavenly rule formed vortexes one after another. These vortexes actually started to devour the distorted s.p.a.ce around Wu Yu.
After devouring the s.p.a.ce which were distorted by the scorching sun, Wu Yu felt less hot. Peach Cloud Fairy"s Grand Sun Heavenly Rule was now basically ineffective against Wu Yu.
Of course, Peach Cloud Fairy had long expected that it would not be so easy to deal with Wu Yu. When she saw that he had easily defeated her two major heavenly rules, Peach Cloud Fairy said with a disdainful look on her pretty face: "Do you think that just by blocking two of my moves, you can defeat me? You"re too naive... ..."
After speaking, her delicate body suddenly changed, and began to become fiercely hot, giving off a dazzling light like the sun.
This blinding light came with an extremely high temperature. The heat was worse than that generated by the Grand Sun Heavenly Rule. Vicious waves of heat rolled towards Wu Yu and almost engulfed him. It was as though Wu Yu was being melted in a furnace.
"Dong Hua G.o.d Body!"
When Peach Cloud Fairy used this move, many immortal emperors on the observation platform exclaimed. This was because this mystique was a mystique pa.s.sed down in the Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord"s family. Once executed, the user"s body would become like a human shaped sun. It would become unbelievably hot and explosive. Wave after wave of heat rolled out. Opponents from the same cultivation realm would not be able to withstand such heat!
Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord smiled with satisfaction. This was a very strong mystique and from the looks of it, Peach Cloud Fairy had managed to master at least 70% of this move. While she was far from being extremely skilled with it, she could execute up to 80% of its power.
As the heat waves rolled out, Wu Yu felt an irresistible heat baking his whole body. A part of his physical body had even started to melt in this extreme heat!
"I cannot withstand this if it continues... ..."
Wu Yu was not one to be a sitting duck. He shouted out loud and his whole body suddenly became bigger. Wu Yu had used his mystique, Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to the limit. Then the golden light in his eyes twinkled, and two rays of golden lights burst out of his eyes.
His eyes were the Eyes of Fire and Gold.
When Wu Yu turned into his biggest form using the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, the power of his golden eyes heavenly rule reached its peak. This power shot straight towards Peach Cloud Fairy and pierced through her body which had almost transformed into a sun.
The whole Giant Astral Prison seemed to have experienced a great shock. The golden eyes heavenly rule bombarded onto Peach Cloud Fairy"s Dong Hua G.o.d Body. This blow actually started to destroy her Dong Hua G.o.d Body!
Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth pushed Wu Yu"s strength to his peak. It was impossible even for an immortal emperor to block this move physically.
However, just as the Dong Hua G.o.d Body started to collapse, a sword light sliced through the void and slashed towards Wu Yu. Wu Yu did not even have the chance to react when he was covered by sword light. It was as though his entire body was blanketed by sword light.
"Great Eastern Emperor Sword!" Peach Cloud Fairy cried proudly. With this battle cry, a sky full of sword light slashed towards Wu Yu.
"Ruyi Jingu Bang!"
Wu Yu reacted quickly and drew his Ruyi Jingu Bang. He swung it around in defense. However, under the suppression of the sky full of sword light, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was actually outcla.s.sed. It failed to defend against those sword light.
Wu Yu was shocked. Ruyi Jingu Bang actually failed to block the Great Eastern Emperor Sword?
This epochal immortal treasure seemed to be made just for Peach Cloud Fairy. The power executed was truly terrifying.
