Chapter 1300: City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons
"What?" Wu Yu was pleasantly surprised. Something was finally happening.
Was the person waiting here about to appear?
The light was very intense and dazzling!
But in the next instant, he felt that something was wrong. This strong light started to be charged with sword qi. The killing intent was terrifying. The walls here were changing, and a frightfully deadly aura materialized!
"This is an immortal treasure! It"s trying to trap me!"
Wu Yu immediately reacted.
"That"s right. It"s my destinable immortal treasure, the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons. GAHA." Suddenly, laughter boomed from all around. Wu Yu recognized the voice - the Tian Ming Dragon Lord.
Evidently, he had placed his City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons destinable immortal treasure here, waiting for Wu Yu to take the bait!
As he spoke, the entire hall changed into a dazzling castle.
Within the castle, there were many palaces, and the streets seemed as real as could be. But each and every brick was covered in spirit designs!
Any destinable immortal treasure would have one billion spirit designs!
In this vast city, every last tile, the gla.s.s and bricks of the houses, the lush trees, all of it was covered in numerous spirit designs, and all of them shone brightly.
Wu Yu was currently surrounded by one billion spirit designs.
It was his first time seeing a destinable immortal treasure, so it was a huge shock for him!
There were so many immortal designs closely knit together. It felt like a real city, and every last detail was vivid and lifelike. It was definitely habitable. In that case, how many powerful immortals, how many months must it have taken to build it?
One billion spirit designs, all working together at the same time within their tessellated lattice.
Every brick and tile was made of superb immortal essences and precious quintessences, and many of them had thousands of spiritual marks. That was how such a huge castle could be created.
Within this castle, Wu Yu could see 10,000 dragon-shaped swords, their hilts buried in the ground, and their blades bristling towards the sky like 10,000 roaring mystical dragons.
The huge swords" blades were the highest point in the entire castle. The 10,000 sword points were linked by white lightning that formed a huge, electrical web, and Wu Yu was trapped in their midst.
This was a destinable immortal treasure, the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons!
It belonged to the Tian Ming Dragon Lord!
In truth, Wu Yu was very envious. The scale of a destinable immortal treasure was completely different from immortal treasures and ancient immortal treasures.
But right now, he was trapped in its midst.
"Sc.u.m, you"ve finally taken the bait. I"ve waited for you for more than half a month. You think I would waste time there? I can just leave a destinable immortal treasure behind. Look around you. Ever tasted a destinable immortal treasure before? Jealous, eh?"
The Tian Ming Dragon Lord"s voice again reverberated around the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons.
"Where is the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Hall?" Wu Yu knew that what he was looking at was not real, but an illusion of the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons.
"I leveled it flat long ago. What are you looking for in that wreck? I not only leveled it, but I even dug up the 300 chi of soil around it. Pity I didn"t find a single worthy thing." The Tian Ming Dragon Lord snorted.
He had not only destroyed the palace, but had even churned up 300 chi of soil around it. It was hopeless.
Wu Yu was, of course, furious. He had spent so much effort to hunt this place down, all to be ruined by this punk. Plus, this guy’s father was outside giving Wu Hao a hard time. Wu Yu was sorely tempted to give up the search and duke it out with this guy till the end!
He did not want to be high-profile, but now everyone knew about his circ.u.mstances. The Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen"s fat mouth had made sure of that.
And if he did not rise up now, Wu Hao and the others would be laughed at forever.
But Wu Yu just felt that it was more important to find that being who had called him!
"Are you furious? I heard you beat up that Lin Xiaoting woman quite badly. We are all waiting for you. Come on."
He roared with laughter. Controlling the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons, he sent it flying towards him. Wu Yu was already completely negated by this destinable immortal treasure. He was trapped within the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons, where Tian Ming was like a G.o.d.
The scores of spirit designs winked and twinkled. After they locked on to Wu Yu, a barrage of attacks was clearly imminent. According to the Tian Ming Dragon Lord"s plan, by the time Wu Yu reached him, he would already be beaten to his last breath of life.
Wu Yu saw the formidable attack of the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons incoming, and responded, "Tian Ming, don"t celebrate too early. There will be a reckoning."
Whoos.h.!.+
He used the Somersault Cloud and flipped out of the destinable immortal treasure!
Not even the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons could hold the Somersault Cloud.
Wu Yu continued to improve, as did his mystiques. Before, the Ancient Soul Tower had managed to hold him, but now, the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons could not. Besides, the Ancient Soul Tower was an internal world, whereas Wu Yu was simply on the surface of this City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons destinable immortal treasure, but not inside it.
Still, not many could have broken out of the Tian Ming Dragon Lord"s destinable immortal treasure.
Far away, the Tian Ming Dragon Lord, Lin Xiaoting, Xue Bingyi, and many other Sky Will Empire, Sky Shadow Empire, and Sky Chariot Empire mystical dragons were gathered together, gleefully awaiting his arrival.
Xue Bingyi was in the arms of Lin Xiaoting. Her injuries were already healed, and now she was like a little bird, adorable and endearing. Lin Xiaoting was pleased as could be.
"Little Sister Xue, just wait a moment. He will be here in a jiffy. You can have the first go."
"Thank you, Big Brother Lin. I will definitely repay you properly." Thinking of Wu Yu, her eyes flared with anger.
The Tian Ming Dragon Lord smiled. "Hold yourselves back, you two. There are many more lining up here."
"I also have to thank you, Big Brother Tian Ming, for standing up for me," Xue Bingyi said.
Lin Xiaoting said, "Him? He"s not doing it for you, but for that Primordial Immortal Dragon. This guy is a wicked one. He won"t even let a baby off."
The Tian Ming Dragon Lord affected a pious face. "Don"t talk nonsense. I"m not that kind.... d.a.m.n!" Suddenly, his face clouded.
"What"s wrong?" they asked.
The Tian Ming Dragon Lord cursed, "That rascal, he might have used his Escape Immortal Design. He"s fled!"
Xue Bingyi"s face immediately darkened.
"That"s too cowardly! To even use the Escape Immortal Design for this!"
"I"ve overestimated that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I thought he had more gumption."
Lin Xiaoting was frustrated as well. He said to Xue Bingyi, "Don"t worry. As long as Wu Yu is still in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, I will definitely seek justice for you when we go out."
"Alright. Thank you, Big Brother Lin."
Xue Bingyi was gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth in frustration. She had been so close to revenge, but he had slipped away.
"What a coward. Doesn’t even have the stomach for this."
..............
Wu Yu watched as the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons flew out of sight.
"If they"re not chasing me anymore, they must have a.s.sumed I escaped with the Escape Immortal Design."
He guessed.
After the City of 10,000 Swords and Dragons was gone, an empty s.p.a.ce was left. The s.p.a.ce that Wu Yu had arrived at was indeed a huge crater. The Tian Ming Dragon Lord had dug 300 chi down and practically excavated the entire Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Hall.
This place was empty, and there was nothing at all.
Wu Yu still lingered in this area for a few days, digging another 300 chi down, but he found nothing.
"It can"t be that someone is toying with me, right? Could that person not even be in Dragon Emperor"s Purgatory?!"
Wu Yu was a little demoralized.
He sat down and mused quietly. Time was running out.
The others were still fighting for their Dragon Emperor Immortal Designs.
"There is also a possibility that the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Hall is not the place that you have to find. Carry on? I think that the chances that you"re being toyed with are rather low."
"How do you know?"
"Because Granny here often has good instincts."
Wu Yu thought about it, took a deep breath, and continued his systematic search.
He was prepared to comb the whole place again, and leave no inch of soil in the Dragon Emperor"s Purgatory unexplored. And also to avoid tangling with the Tian Ming Dragon Lord and that bunch, if possible.
Time was running out, and he had basically covered the entire Dragon Emperor"s Purgatory now, without any results.
"Could it be that the clue lies with the Tian Ming Dragon Lord?
"But shouldn"t it be a ‘being?’ Some person or other life form waiting for me? It wouldn"t be an object, would it?
"Besides, if the Tian Ming Dragon Lord found something, he would definitely want to ask me what it is and why I’m looking for it. But he didn"t seem that way."
Wu Yu could not understand what was going on.
Still, time was ticking.
Seven months.
Eight months.
Nine months.
Ten months!
In the 11th month, Wu Yu was still searching. He had covered virtually the entire Dragon Emperor"s Purgatory twice, and he was completely familiar with where the Dragon Emperor"s Prisons were. Many of them still had not been found by the mystical dragons. And by this time, there were also more criminals roaming freely.
Some of the stronger ones had already acc.u.mulated enough Dragon Emperor Immortal Designs to buy their freedom.
There was only slightly more than a month left.
From start to finish, Wu Yu had just killed one ghostly immortal.
He guessed that he was the bottom of the Giant Purgatory Pillar. Many people might have already gone out, but Wu Yu had yet to overtake any of them.
Wu Yu"s guess was exactly right. But what he did not know was that Yu Manyuan was second to last, and Xing Ling was third to last. Besides, they had already gone out at this time. There were roughly 200 people on Dragon Emperor"s Supreme Battlefield who had already used their Escape Immortal Designs. Or their Dragon Emperor Immortal Designs had been taken away, and they had been forced out.
In recent days, more of them were coming out. Even so, Wu Yu was securely in last place.
Many people came out, and the bottom four Primordial Immortal Empire challengers remained unchanged. On this point, the Sky Chariot Dragon King and the others had spent the entire year laughing.
The Tian Ming Dragon Lord was still dominating the chart in first place. It was rumored that he was already well in the lead. Even if he came out now, not even second place could catch up!
In second place was Tian Zi from the Sky Shadow Empire. He was a Purple Skies Empyrean Dragon, and also an ultimate mystical dragon.
Third place, Lin Xiaoting from the Sky Will Empire. Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon.
This ranking was expected.
The stage was already set.
Wu Jun had not spoken for a long time now.
"I hope that Wu Yu can find the person he"s looking for, and comes out safely." That was all Ye Qianning could wish for now.
As for their pride, the Primordial Immortal Empire was screwed this time, beyond the point of salvation. The other Primordial Immortal Empire dragon kings could not stand it, and wanted to leave. For example, the Jade Mirror Dragon Queen.
But her son still could not leave.
In the remaining month, Wu Yu faced a choice. Should he give up on searching for that being?
