Chapter 751: Primordial Spirit's Sea of Knowledge

Condense a primordial spirit.

This had been Wu Yu's greatest goal in Ghosts Sea Prison.
From before, he had searched high and low for a way, with no
progress.
But the key was that he did not know how to control his spirit.
After all, he did not know where it was.
And right now, with the fatal Mystique plaguing him
mercilessly, it in fact made Wu Yu keenly aware of his spirit,
and what it was.
At this difficult juncture, being done in this way had in fact led
to a solution.
Of course, this did not mean that You Yan's Mystique could
help everyone reach the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm.
Firstly, it was because Wu Yu's spirit was much stronger than
others of his level.
Secondly, it was because Wu Yu had escaped on the
Somersault Cloud that only a small portion had entered his
body. If the entirety had entered his body, Wu Yu would be in
dire circumstances right now.
A stroke of fateful coincidence that could not possibly be
replicated.
For Wu Yu, it was time to gamble with his life on the line!
Cultivation was about daring and being decisive. Therefore, he
did not wait for Ming Long to analyze his decision, but
immediately pulled out Great Way of Immortality Art, focusing
his attention and beginning to condense his primordial spirit.
This was a heavenly immortal's technique, and therefore
definitely more refined than ordinary primordial spirit
techniques. It was more complicated, but for someone of Wu
Yu's level, would yield a primordial spirit that was much
stronger than others. Just like his Jindan back then.
He began without further ado.
Great Way of Immortality Art was the fundamental medium
through which the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal had reached
immortality.
Wu Yu had the Invincible Vajra Body. 4 Mystiques, the 72
Transformations. But the most important to becoming
immortal was still Great Way of Immortality Art.
His entire spirit shivered with pain. Wu Yu was completely in
tune with it. He had forgotten his own physical body at this
time, and had submerged his consciousness into his spirit.
"Life is a bitter sea. The body is the vessel, and the soul is one's
capital."
Wu Yu read this line.
Before, he had not understood well what this meant, but right
now with his soul stinging with pain, and yet his body
completely unharmed, it was an exquisite pain that made him
understand slightly.
Cultivation was indeed more about enlightenment. Such
enlightenment was mostly converted into Violet Kingdom
primordial energy, which floated within one's Violet Kingdom
of the Inner Sea. But the most fundamental portion was
nestled within the spirit, which would eventually evolve into a
primordial spirit. The primordial spirit was where all the dao
enlightenment would be gathered.
The more his spirit hurt, the more he could not separate
himself from it. Wu Yu was completely immersed within it,
forgetting about his body. For him, condensing his primordial
spirit became a familiar feeling, as though he were forging the
Invincible Vajra Body and making his body stronger.
Condensing one's primordial spirit was also about refining
one's spirit to make it stronger.
Until finally this Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock within his body
could no longer hurt his spirit.
Therefore to Wu Yu, condensing one's primordial spirit was
similar to strengthening one's body. The logic was the same.
Especially at this time, he could clearly feel the presence of his
spirit. His entire world had been filled by his spirit.
It was truly ingenious.
If Prince You Yan's Mystique had just been slightly stronger,
Wu Yu would probably have been consumed by spiritual pain,
and incapable of cultivating and condensing his spirit.
If Prince You Yan's Mystique had just been slightly weaker,
then it would not have been painful enough for Wu Yu to
completely immerse himself within his spirit.
Therefore, Wu Yu was thanking the heavens for smiling down
on him.
A once in a lifetime opportunity had appeared before him.
He had not expected this day toa rrive so quickly. He had only
been in Ghosts Sea Prison for half a month.
Besides, the entire process had been quite smooth. Under the
sharp pain of the Mystique, his soul condensed rapidly in
response. Although in an intangible way, but under the
guidance of Great Way of Immortality Art, the invisible spirit
was guided in a coherent direction.
The place was the Sea of Knowledge. Like the Violet Kingdom
of the Inner Sea, the Sea of Knowledge was an invisible place
where the condensation of your spirit began. It was the second
step of the primordial spirit.
First step, condense your spirit. Second step, open your Sea of
Knowledge. Third step, condense your primordial spirit and
strengthen your Sea of Knowledge.
In the Sea of Knowledge, your primordial spirit resided. In the
Violet Kingdom primordial energy, there was Violet Kingdom
primordial energy.
Wu Yu's spirit had retreated rapidly due to the pain. The
repeated triggering from the Mystique was making his spirit
stronger and stronger. Things were going very smoothly. As
the spirit condensed, it would become even more robust, and
the Mystique's power would be lessened. The dragon was still
banging against Wu Yu, but Wu Yu already barely felt the pain.
Because his spirit had contracted tensely, it did not feel the
pain much, nor was it as easily penetrated.
"Very good! Keep it up! Next, opening the Sea of Knowledge!"
Ming Long was very worked up as well.
"Finally, when your primordial spirit succeeds, remember to
use the method which I taught you to split your primordial
spirit into two. It's like splitting your physical body into two -
obviously very painful, but a new primordial spirit will be
available. Given how strong your primordial spirit is, I think
even a quarter will be enough to fulfill the requirements of the
Great Way of Immortality Art, and be stronger than others."
"Therefore, for the body of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord,
you have to hold on. Believe me, with this second body, you
not only have a extra body available with some godly powers,
but you can very likely become the next Heaven Devouring Evil
Lord. Of course, power is simply power. How you use it is up
to you. All I can say is that the benefits of that body are no less
than the immortal's legacy. After all, the Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord was only stopped by immortals."
Ming Long again reminded him.
She was afraid that Wu Yu would be carried away after
condensing his primordial spirit, and would forget this. The
window to split one's primordial spirit was roughly within 10
breaths' of creating one's primordial spirit. Once this critical
window passed, the primordial spirit would be fully condensed
and the chance would be lost.
That would not do.
The egg was currently Wu Yu's most treasured possession.
Wu Yu too longed for the sort of power that Ming Long was
talking about. Naturally he had not forgotten about the matter
of the second primordial spirit.
Of course, the most important thing now was still to reach the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm successfully. Without
completing his primordial spirit, the rest was moot.
If he could reach the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm,
he could also advance his Unshackled Doppelganger,
completely master the 10,000 Dragons Staff advanced dao
treasure, and learn another of the 72 Transformations. Just
the thought of him rampaging through the Ghosts Sea Prison
with 10,000 clones made Wu Yu excited......
"Don't be distracted!"

"Mm." He had indeed gotten a little carried away.

Luckily Ming Long was there to remind Wu Yu to return back
to his spirit, where he funneled his energies into compressing
it as much as he could. In a concerted burst, he could open the
Sea of Knowledge. It resided within everyone's body, and this
process simply made it appear.
To Wu Yu, the hardest step was already accomplished. As for
opening the Sea of Knowledge, the Great Way of Immortality
Art had fairly thorough instructions. After Wu Yu could control
his spirit, the next step was much easier.
Compressed to the maximum in one burst, the Sea of
Knowledge made an abstract appearance!
His entire spirit had been transported to a different world.
If one's body was a vessel, then the spirit was the person. And
the Sea of Knowledge was like the ship cabin. On a vessel
without a ship cabin, the human would be battered by the
weather. No matter how strong the body of the ship was, with
no place to take shelter from the elements, the spirit would
still be very vulnerable. Right now, with the Sea of Knowledge
appearing, his spirit could hide within. Even if his primordial
spirit had not fully condensed, but You Yan's Mystique could
not attack Wu Yu easily now.
With the ship cabin closed, the ferocious beast on the ship
could not attack people unless it tore apart the cabin and
entered.
The Sea of Knowledge was created!
Wu Yu's spiritual power appeared in a world of whiteness. It
was a little like the Violet Kingdom of the Inner Sea, except
there was only emptiness rather than spiritual power.
The Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm's final step.
By this point, Wu Yu had already won half the battle.
He was only one step away from his ideal self.
In truth, compared to other cultivators of his age, having just
reached the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm was not
considered slow at all. Rather, he had progressed at a speed
never seen before. After all, he had started to cultivate only
when he was in his teens.
And until now, he had only been cultivating for 10 years or so.
Whereas here in the Yan Huang Ancient Region, children
began to cultivate when they were a few years old. Right now,
You Xue was also a few decades old, and had only just reached
seventh tier Primordial Spirit cultivation. If Wu Yu had had as
many years, he would probably have reached the Dao
Querying Realm.
His spirit was in a warm environment, and could completely
relax in this warm room, and slowly metamorphose into a
primordial spirit. Within the Sea of Knowledge, it could change
a spirit into a primordial spirit.
The floating water vapor was Wu Yu's dao. The dao entered
his spirit.
From the look of things, the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm was not a problem.
As for You Yan's Mystique, it was still bumping around madly
within Wu Yu, unable to do anything to him. Once Wu Yu
finished his primordial spirit, it would not be difficult to expel
it. After all, such a small bit of Mystique was not that strong.
"Don't forget. Second primordial spirit." Ming Long reminded
him again.
Actually, to condense the primordial spirit right now was no
hardship for Wu Yu. The Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm was more or less settled.
What made him a little nervous was the splitting of this second
primordial spirit. It was a violent process - like tearing a
newborn into two...... It sounded brutal indeed.
But at least his primordial spirit would be split into two
different things, and split according to the golden ratio.
Approximately 618 of 1000 parts of the spirit would remain in
Wu Yu's body, while the remaining formed the second
primordial spirit that would control the Heaven Devouring Evil
Lord.
Of course, although Wu Yu would be split into two, both were
him, and he would forever only have one consciousness. The
second primordial spirit was like a second body, much like if
he had grown a few more arms and legs, or eyes and noses.
Fundamentally, it was still about the primordial spirit.
This second primordial spirit was like the evolved version of
the Unshackled Doppelganger. The doppelgangers did not
have a primordial spirit within them, but the second
primordial spirit did. Therefore, the second primordial spirit
was much stronger than the doppelgangers. And most
importantly, it had the powers of the Heaven Devouring Evil
Lord!
Devour the world!
Soon, Wu Yu's primordial spirit would be complete, and he
would enter a whole new world.
Chapter 752: Second Primordial Spirit
In his Sea of Knowledge, the originally dense mist was now
completely concentrated within the spirit.
Wu Yu enhanced his Primordial Spirit with the Great Way of
Immortality Art.
His efforts paid off. His Primordial Spirit finally took shape, and
Wu Yu neared a great new cultivation level, the Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm.
From Qi Condensation, to Jindan Dao, and then to the Violet
Kingdom of the Inner Sea, now he was surging on to the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm.
Each major cultivation level had been a life-changing
metamorphosis.
Qi Condensation, Jindan, Violet Kingdom - all of those were
physical transformations, while the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm was a metamorphosis of the spirit. At
the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm, one could finally
be considered a holistic and complete martial cultivator.
Or perhaps considered as having taken the first step of
cultivation.
The spirit and body both had thoroughly evolved.
To Wu Yu, this Primordial Spirit that was taking shape was not
the end. Rather, what would happen next was of critical
importance.
Although the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord was an evil thing, his
abilities would even make an immortal jealous.
Within his memory, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord's new
appearance was in the form of Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas.
White-haired and crimson-eyed, a devilishly sexy form that
was on a completely different level from the original Yu Fuyao
of the Heavenly Seas.
White hair, as though made out of fresh snow itself. Crimson
eyes, the vampiric tell-tale. These were eyes that belonged to
bloody and devouring beasts.
Although she had been suppressed by the Ruyi Jingu Bang
through unforeseen circumstances, Wu Yu could not forget.
Besides, he believed that the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord was
not truly gone, and this was fairly frightening.
Primordial Spirit condensed.
The mist within the Sea of Knowledge was completely drawn
into the spirit, and a figure could be seen within the Sea of
Knowledge. It was how Wu Yu had looked in the beginning.
Ming Long was astonished.
"Impressive. Your Primordial Spirit has only just condensed,
and it's already more robust than that of others at the fourth
or fifth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. If
you succeed in condensing it fully, you will have one as
powerful as that of a seventh or eighth tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivator! This shows that while your spirit
was being nurtured, it was already fairly strong. I wager that
this has a lot to do with the Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills
and Pregnant Fruits of Great Dao. You must know that
ordinary Violet Kingdom of the Inner Sea cultivators cannot
withstand Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills."
When one reached the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm
andone's Primordial Spirit had just begun to condense, it was
a vague figure. For each tier one rose, the figure would clarify
a little. It was said that at the tenth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm, it would solidify fully, revealing a very
clear figure.
The seventh or eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm was exactly Wu Yu's prior fighting
ability. Although his Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm
would both be at the first tier after he succeeded, his
Primordial Spirit would be on par with those of cultivators at
the seventh or eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm.
Of course, even though his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy
was just at the first tier, that did not mean that his was of the
first tier caliber. Wu Yu's Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy
had been cultivated by the Great Way of Immortality Art. Even
at the Jindan Dao Realm, he had far surpassed his peers of the
same tier. Just with Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy alone,
he had been able to match fourth or fifth tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivators. This was why Wu Yu could
challenge Gong Shenjun and the others.
Without sufficient Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy to
complement his strength and his four mystiques, he would not
have been qualified to take on Gong Shenjun and the others.
With a condensed Primordial Spirit, this temporarily did not do
anything for Wu Yu's fighting abilities, but it was of great help
for his dao enlightenment, and defending against spirit-based
attacks.
"Such a robust Primordial Spirit is very helpful for your splitting
of the second Primordial Spirit! If you had an ordinary
Primordial Spirit, it would be very hazy when you entered the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. Both might even
crumble if you split them. But with this Primordial Spirit of
yours, they will still be several degrees better than those of
others even after you split them!"
Ming Long said with feeling.
She had just finished speaking when Wu Yu's Primordial Spirit
finished condensing. Just as Ming Long had predicted, Wu Yu's
Primordial Spirit was clearly defined and robust. As soon as it
appeared, it was equal to the first tier for others. And then it
quickly reached what was normal for the second tier, the third
tier....
His Primordial Spirit grew clearer and clearer!
This was definitely related to consuming too many Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pills and Pregnant Fruits of Great Dao. All the
effects of his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy had been
converted, but the effects had been accumulated, and they
came forth in a rush today!
For his Primordial Spirit to already be this refined at the first
tier, just how strong would Wu Yu's Primordial Spirit be at the
eighth or ninth tier?
10 breaths later, Wu Yu and Ming Long were both amazed
because his Primordial Spirit was extremely clear and robust
already. It was so sturdy that Prince You Yan's mystique could
not do much to it anymore.
"This is definitely at the level of a ninth tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivator! Ordinary people must reach the
ninth tier to achieve this result! In terms of Primordial Spirit
sturdiness, you're about the same as Duan Yi now."
Ming Long said in awe.
Only at the first tier, and already at the ninth tier's level. If the
Primordial Spirit could translate into fighting power, he would
be a terror.
"The Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills can't be this effective. I
guess that it must have been the Pregnant Fruits of Great Dao
that nurtured your Primordial Spirit."
This level of Primordial Spirit sturdiness was very important to
Wu Yu for splitting his second Primordial Spirit. It laid a solid
base.
"Time to begin!"
As the condensation reached the saturation point, he had
basically succeeded in reaching the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm.
He was already fully in the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm.
The next 10 breaths of time were Wu Yu's only chance.
Wu Yu had waited for this moment for a long time.
He had already prepared the method that Ming Long had
taught him.
Split his second Primordial Spirit.
Originally, Ming Long had been a little apprehensive, but she
was now reassured by Wu Yu's Primordial Spirit.
After all, she was familiar with the second Primordial Spirit's
creation, and could teach Wu Yu how to deal with any
problems that arose.
However, Wu Yu was more apt than she had expected. The
steps came to him one after another, and in the second breath
of his 10 breath window, he had already caught on to it, using
Ming Long's secret incantation to split his Primordial Spirit into
two. Slightly more in one half, that would occupy his center,
and one more in a secondary position.
It was an agonizing moment, 10 times more excruciating than
You Yan's mystique, and on a completely different level. In
that moment, Wu Yu felt like he had died, and his mind was a
mess. His spirit was pierced through with pain that reached
the depths of it, and such pain was simply indescribable.
It was truly the feeling of a person being dismembered.

Crucially, one would be long dead due to a usual

dismemberment, but Wu Yu was still alert. He was not only
not dead, but actually extremely aware of the sensation of
being torn apart.
At this time, the only thing he could think about was that he
wouldn't dare to go through this ever again....
In order to gain more power, such agony was necessary. When
Wu Yu realized that he could even take this amount of pain,
he also realized that there was nothing much to be afraid of in
this world.
Actually, the pain lasted just for a moment, but that was a
terrifying moment to experience. Wu Yu had been dying for it
to end.
"Quickly, continue solidifying your Primordial Spirit!"
Ming Long nagged.
Throughout this process, he was basically condensing his
Primordial Spirit anew. The Primordial Spirit that had just been
condensed had been ripped apart by Wu Yu into two, forcing
it back into a phantom-like state. Now Wu Yu had to separate
them and let them form his new distinct Primordial Spirits.
One large, and one small. The larger one was slightly more
defined.
Fortunately, when the Primordial Spirits began to condense,
the pain lessened quickly. This was a new Primordial Spirit at
that; therefore, any further ripping would be suicide - an
instant death that no one would dare to court.
Wu Yu had been bold to take this risk.
Of course, his Primordial Spirit was robust enough for the two
halves able to maintain decent forms. They split into two
likenesses of Wu Yu, one a tad larger than the other.
"It's done!" Seeing these two Primordial Spirits take shape,
Ming Long was excited!
She was actually using Wu Yu for another mad plan. How
terrifying would it be to have the power of the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord?
After the two Primordial Spirits were completed, there was
confusion. Because the Sea of Knowledge could only house
one Primordial Spirit, two would create immense confusion.
That was where the ingenuity of this split lay - as the two
Primordial Spirits wrestled, the larger one would kick the
smaller one out of the Sea of Knowledge! Although they were
Wu Yu's Primordial Spirits, at this time, his consciousness was
thoroughly scrambled.
"Wu Yu, leave your body and enter your Sumeru Pouch!"
It was fairly dangerous for a Primordial Spirit to leave the body.
Once it did, the body would begin to decay quickly. Although
many could achieve the floating Primordial Spirit, ordinary
people would not dare to do so. And the Primordial Spirit
would also very quickly fade after leaving the body, unless
there was a place like the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Without due cause, one would not do it.
When Ming Long's reminder came, the lesser Primordial Spirit
of Wu Yu responded.
With his greater Primordial Spirit in his body, it would not
decay. While the lesser Primordial Spirit was the extra. They
were like Wu Yu's arms, and Wu Yu controlled his smaller arm
to go into his Sumeru Pouch.
Because that egg was inside his Sumeru Pouch.
Wu Yu could not bring the egg out, because with the
Shadower, those outside would see it. This process could not
be shown to the experts outside.
At this time, he also split a few more doppelgangers to watch
by his side. As long as the Primordial Spirit in his Sumeru Pouch
succeeded, he would immediately have it leave, to prevent the
Sumeru Pouch from exploding.
The second Primordial Spirit and the clones would not look
that different at first glance, which was why those outside
should not be able to see clearly.
Wu Yu had prepared for this moment for a long time, and he
had planned it down to the last detail.
"Each of your Primordial Spirits have the strength of an eighth
tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivator. If you were
smart about it, you might even have been able to split multiple
times. A pity you have no other bodies." Ming Long sighed.
That sort of pain was not one that Wu Yu was willing to endure
again. Two bodies was good enough for him.
Within his Sumeru Pouch, his lesser Primordial Spirit had
finally seen the egg.
Chapter 753: Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast
When the lesser primordial spirit saw that egg, both felt an
attraction to the other.
It had just left Wu Yu's physical moment and this was when it
needed a physical body the most.
The physical body of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord had now
appeared here and this was an unoccupied body.
Ming Long had long verified Wu Yu's lesser primordial spirit
could occupy this body and possess the ability of the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord.
Therefore, when he saw the egg, Wu Yu was on cloud nine.
This level of agitation was just like a starving wolf seeing its
food. Moreover, it was a wolf that had starved for a really,
really long time. In the eyes of the lesser primordial spirit,
there was no longer any other things in the sumeru pouch
other than that egg.
Obviously, the agitation of the lesser primordial spirit was also
Wu Yu's agitation.
This was a pure and unoccupied physical body. Wu Yu could
definitely invade it and make it his body.
Without further ado, Wu Yu dashed to the side of that egg.
"I've finally reached this moment."
His lesser primordial spirit took deep breaths before dashing
into the egg without further hesitation.
The truth was the primordial spirit was his.
In the ocean of life, it was equivalent of Wu Yu having two
selves from one. His original physical vessel could
accommodate two. At this moment, another physical vessel
that was suitable for inhabitation had surfaced. His second self
could definitely occupy this other vessel.
This was because the new vessel never had a master.
Therefore, it was empty and clear. Wu Yu could become its
new master and modify it.
Naturally, he still required some secret arts that Ming Long
had taught him.
Others might not be successful even if they used the second
primordial spirit method.
After all, this was the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord's physical
body. Something that was the most crucial to his rebirth.
When his lesser primordial spirit entered the egg, it felt just
like immersing in a pool of warm liquid.
All of a sudden, his spirit felt as though it was returning to the
warm embrace of its home.
His primordial spirit quickly occupied the physical body before
gradually assimilating perfectly with it. It felt just like returning
to the womb of his mother and he had turned into a foetus.
However, this was likely not a human but a Spirit of the
Universe.
It was also because this was the body of a Spirit of the Universe
that Wu Yu was able to successfully occupy it.
The years of preparation by the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord
had made this new physical body extremely close to
perfection.
A Spirit of the Universe was born of the heaven and earth.
They were different from martial cultivators, humans and
demons.
It didn't have the process of growing from childhood to
maturity. When it appeared, it might be a powerful individual.
The body of a Spirit of the Universe was full of mystery to start
with.
It didn't have tendons, bones and flesh like a human and the
entire body was in a mysterious state. For example, the Green
Glows that Wu Yu had encountered in the Heaven Devouring
Evil Residence were balls of light.
For example the Stygian River he encountered in the Alternate
World was just a mysterious river without any corporeal form.
In comparison, the body of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord
was relatively alike to humans and demons.
It had a physical body state. Nonetheless, in terms of its core,
it was still a Spirit of the Universe.
Similar to other Spirits of the Universe, the Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord didn't possess Violet Kingdom primordial energy or a
primordial spirit.
The most mysterious thing about the Spirits of the Universe
was that their souls and physical bodies were the same. In fact,
all their powers and everything of them were in one form.
Taking the Green Glow as example, its vitality and all others
were a ball of light.
And so was the Stygian River.
The Heaven Devouring Evil Lord probably had been
suppressed for a very long time before it separated its soul
from its original body, leaving only remnants of his soul
behind.
After which, it created a new body.
However, this wasn't the best state for it. It was only a means
for its rebirth!
Wu Yu had no idea how it did it.
However, he knew if the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord could get
his hands on this egg, he would definitely assimilate in and
return to its most primitive Spirit of the Universe form once
again. That would be its strongest state.
Therefore, when Wu Yu occupied this body, the greatest
changes would be for his primordial spirit to completely
diffuse into this body.
Every single remnants of his primordial spirit, everything he
had including his memories and the usage methods of dao
techniques had to fused with the new body to create an
extremely pure form.
Just like the glow of the Green Glow.
One could even say that his primordial spirit had been
converted into a unique state.
However, in this process, Wu Yu could clearly feel the
existence of his self-consciousness. Moreover, it felt even
clearer than usual. This was proof that the core of his
primordial spirit still existed.
A perfect fusion of the primordial spirit and physical body was
ongoing.
This was just like the Spirits of the Universe that he had
imagined.
For a human, owning a body of a Spirit of the Universe was an
exceptionally magical and shocking experience. That would be
to exist in a completely different state. When Wu Yu felt the
existence of his second primordial spirit's body, he was moved
to the brink of tears.
It was like this living form was born directly from heaven and
earth. Compared to the procreation of humans and wild
beasts, this was closer to the Great dao he had in mind.
At this juncture, he felt he was a lump of substance within the
egg shell.
His body wasn't fixed and could change as he wished as though
he was a ball of mist. He could rotate his body as he desired or
to enlarge or shrink. At the same time, he felt his body was
gradually maturing.
At this juncture, he felt he should have succeeded.
Following next, it would be to control his new body and break
out of the shell.
"How is it? How is it? Are you done? Speak! You are driving me
nuts!" Ming Long jumped up and down impatiently. For her,
this was an unprecedented attempt.
"You will know soon." What Wu Yu was experiencing within
the body of a Spirit of the Universe was something he could
not simply explain in words.
Currently, it was as though he was a mass of primordial
entropy. As he rotated his body within the egg shell, he
familiarized and learned to control his new body.
This was different from controlling his initial body. Therefore,
he felt a little foreign to it.
For a human, one would likely move his hands, legs, eyes,
mouth or others. However, the body of the Spirit of the
Universe had none of these.
Even if there were, those were manifestations. Taking the
Heaven Devouring Evil Lord as an example, it could manifest
in human form. However, this wasn't its core.
Wu Yu could now feel that the real core of the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord was a ball of mist. A ball of primitive mist.

However, this ball of mist had endless transformation

possibilities.
If one was speaking of transformations, the Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord might have more changes than the 72
Transformations.
Wu Yu was completely immersed in the magical
transformation. He was euphoric and felt as though he had a
new life.
Naturally, he would indeed have two lives starting from today.
Even if his main body had died, his Heaven Devouring Evil
Lord's body could continue living.
This was in fact just a way the humans had addressed the Spirit
of the Universe of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.
Wu Yu thought of giving it a name.
First, he felt the innate ability of the Spirit of the Universe to
devour, digest and strengthen was like a huge beast hidden in
the corners of the world, crouching and ready to strike.
"Why don't I just call it the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast!
What about the body? I think it should be called the Heaven
Devouring Avatar."
Once he broke out from the shell, it would signal a new life.
Currently, while Wu Yu was trying to control his new body, he
was also attempting to see if he could break out of the shell.
For him, the insides of the egg was a sealed world and where
he was born.
He wasn't in a hurry. At this juncture, he was immersing in the
mysterious experience of trying to control his new body and
was exceptionally euphoric.
It was at this point when Wu Yu's main body and greater
primordial spirit had entered a steady state and finally
reaching the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm.
His greater primordial spirit was still as dense as those at the
eighth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. As
compared to others, even without his second primordial spirit,
his Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm was still more
perfect than others.
With a primordial spirit like this, he successful expelled the
dragon head of the Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock that You Yan
had left in his body.
As such, those 800,000 people could see Wu Yu recover from
his injured state through the Shadower.
Obviously, they wouldn't know Wu Yu had reached the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm and wouldn't know
Wu Yu had a second body within his sumeru pouch.
After reaching the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm, Wu
Yu's Unshackled Doppelganger could be raised to a new realm.
The Infinity Beast within his advanced dao treasure, 10,000
Dragons Staff, would also appear to take his challenge. Also,
he could choose to challenge stronger puppets in the Floating
Dreams Pagoda so as to become stronger holistically.
However, for Wu Yu, what he was looking forward to was still
the body of his second primordial spirit, the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
Therefore, his main body started roaming the Ghosts Sea
Prison. However, his attention was fully on his second
primordial spirit. He would likely only feel at ease and delve
into other methods after the Heaven Devouring Avatar of the
second primordial spirit was born.
He felt it wouldn't take long for him to break out of the shell.
It should be soon.
Moreover, he could clearly feel his two bodies weren't in
conflict.
Two bodies shared the same thoughts.
Instructing it would be no different from instructing one's own
right hand.
Wu Yu had once controlled a thousand doppelgangers.
Controlling another one would be a walk in the park.
"This shall do it." Within the egg shell, Wu Yu had a certain
level of confidence to break out of the egg shell after
familiarizing his new body.
At this point, his existence wouldn't affect the sumeru pouch
due to the egg shell sealing him off.
When he broke out of the shell, he had to leave the sumeru
pouch instantly. Otherwise, the Na Word Array on the sumeru
pouch would explode due to overloading, causing a huge
commotion. Therefore, Wu Yu had to time it extremely well.
At this point, his new body was prepared.
His new body could be transformed as he desired. The easiest
form to transform was how the main body was. This was a very
steady state and not much different from the original state of
a ball of mist. However, there was a slight difference in looks
compared to the original Wu Yu.
At this moment, Wu Yu had transformed into himself within
the egg shell.
After which, he extended his fists and legs to break the egg
shell!
Chapter 754: White Eyed Scarlet Hair
The natural stability of Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar was
definitely thanks to his Primordial Spirit.
Although his Primordial Spirit was currently in a new body, it
bore Wu Yu's brand, and was a completely new Spirit of the
Universe.
And not the brand of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.
Wu Yu felt that the newborn Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast
was actually very weak.
How weak?
Even the weakest life form in the Yan Huang Ancient Region
could probably defeat it.
Such a weak second Primordial Spirit. Without Wu Yu's
protection, it could not possibly survive in this world.
"Seems like heaven is fair. Heaven gave the Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord horrifying devouring powers, but made him start out
so weak. Perhaps all the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beasts in
history were unable to grow to power because they started
out too weak, and were destroyed before they could get
started. Only the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord remains in the
memory of history," Wu Yu mused.
"Makes sense. Nature is fair. The stronger the talent, the more
risky the maturation process. However, out with it! Have you
succeeded?!" Ming Long was going mad outside.
The matter of the second Primordial Spirit. She was even more
anxious than Wu Yu, because she knew just how destructive
the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord could be.
A demon capable of destruction that could fell an immortal.
"Just about. Just waiting to come out of the cocoon," Wu Yu
said, looking out at the Ghost Sea Prison.
Right now, the newly born Heaven Devouring Avatar was
flailing its arms and legs within the shell, trying its best to
break it.
At this moment, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was truly too
weak. Therefore, it beat on the egg countless times, striving
hard.
Wu Yu's real body could not help. All life had to break through
their shells by themselves.
Wu Yu and Ming Long waited together in anticipation for the
Heaven Devouring Avatar's arrival.
When it happened, Wu Yu would be able to master his new
body even more perfectly.
After thousands of attacks, his Primordial Spirit had
thoroughly gotten used to his new Spirit of the Universe body.
After thousands of times, Wu Yu was fairly familiar with this
new body, and it was roughly the same as controlling his real
body.
At this time, it was still a very weak body struggling, but it was
finally rewarded with a cracking sound. The first crack
appeared on the shell.
This meant that the egg was broken.
With the first crack delivered, the rest was much easier. His
Heaven Devouring Avatar strove hard, increasing the speed of
its punches and kicks, creating a web of cracks.
His new body had already seen light from the new world. Of
course, it was still within his Sumeru Pouch.
This was like being born.
Next was to get out of the Sumeru Pouch. The Heaven
Devouring Avatar smashed the shell, and made a heroic leap.
Perhaps because his life force was still so small, the impact to
the Sumeru Pouch was not that large. Right now, Wu Yu's
Sumeru Pouch was at dao treasure level.
However, Wu Yu still pulled his Heaven Devouring Avatar out
of the Sumeru Pouch fairly quickly. After all, it was a space that
he controlled. Pulling something out was easy as pie.
Especially when it was a part of his body.
When the Heaven Devouring Avatar appeared before Wu Yu,
he exclaimed with feeling, "Done!"
Of course, Ming Long could see it at this time as well.
The few clones beside Wu Yu were still fine - there had been
no disturbance for a long time.
Here in the Ghost Sea Prison, many others were out slaying
demons. When nothing was happening to him, it was hard to
draw attention.
The most marvelous part of the Heaven Devouring Avatar's
body was that it was basically unnoticed when it appeared.
Even if it were, it would not raise suspicion. Besides Wu Yu, no
one knew of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord and the second
Primordial Spirit. Others would simply assume that it was
another clone.
When it first appeared, the second Primordial Spirit's Heaven
Devouring Avatar was simply a puff of black mist. Those
outside could not even spot it on the Shadower. After all, the
seawater was murky.
Wu Yu still hoped that his second body could retain his looks,
and so this puff of mist grew to become exactly the same as
he did.
However, perhaps because the mark of the Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord still lingered, or perhaps because this was the
distinctive characteristic of the Heaven Devouring Titanic
Beast, the hair of the Heaven Devouring Avatar was snow
white, just like that of Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas. The
individual starkly silver strands made for an eerie sight.
Besides the long hair, there were the eyes. Unlike Wu Yu's own
black eyes, these were crimson.
Crimson eyes, and their luster was extremely pure. When they
met his own, he felt a pang of fear. This was the fear of the
real body meeting the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
Of course, this was but for a moment, because it was all Wu
Yu.
It has to be said that the white hair and crimson eyes gave it
an off look. This new form of Wu Yu's gave a completely
different vibe compared to his true form.
His true form was stern and intense, an indomitable look in his
eyes that was only enhanced when he used the Immortal Ape
Transformation. His eyes had a fiery and bold aura to them,
brought on by the Invincible Vajra Body.
But the Heaven Devouring Avatar was different. Although it
looked the same, save for the white hair and red eyes, it was
a sinister, enigmatic, dark, and demonic feel that came forth,
just like a killer in the shadows.
Especially the crimson eyes. They were hard to meet.
Wu Yu reckoned that this was probably from the Heaven
Devouring Titanic Beast's body, and a brand of the beast.
This was why it had the devouring ability.
With a hard and fiery body, and another cold and enigmatic
body, the contrasting opposites were quite interesting.
"It's too cool. Too awesome! Looks much better than your
original! I like this model!" Ming Long was grinning from ear to
ear at the white-hair-red-eye version.
Actually, if not for the fact that this was modeled after Wu Yu's
own body, he would have thought he was face to face with Yu
Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas.

Back when she had appeared in the Heaven Devouring Evil

Residence, she too had the same two features as his Heaven
Devouring Avatar. And the same unsettling feeling.
Of course, Wu Yu himself could control it.
In the Ghost Sea Prison, Wu Yu gave a suit of armor dao
treasure to the Heaven Devouring Avatar and then changed it
into a simple dao robe. It complimented the white hair and red
eyes to create an inexplicably spectacular image that was
difficult to forget.
There was a huge difference between this body and Wu Yu and
his clones. Because the rest all looked exactly the same.
Of course, Wu Yu was not worried that others would see much
through the Shadower.
"Quick, test your powers. That's the most essential. It looks so
weak. See what it can devour, and if it can convert it to your
own strength," Ming Long urged.
This was the most crucial thing.
In control of his new body, Wu Yu now could also feel the
needs of this new body.
Ordinarily, mortals who were just born would search for food.
This was an instinct, and especially so for this body, driving Wu
Yu to action.
Wu Yu could feel that he was starving, but he was unsure of
what he could eat. Perhaps he would only know when he saw
it.
He had some immortal essence and medicines in his Sumeru
Pouch, but he did not know if the Heaven Devouring Avatar
needed those. He took them out.
"Let me test this." Wu Yu wanted to know the answer as soon
as possible.
Just at this moment, both his real body and his Heaven
Devouring Avatar felt a pang of fear, originating from a
demented shriek coming from Wu Yu's real body.
This furious voice screeched with a hair-raising shrillness that
swept over them.
"Wu Yu, you actually dare to snatch my hopes at rebirth? You
wretched, despicable dog. One day, when I return to my own
body, I will see you suffer for eternity. You've touched a sore
nerve now. I hate you a thousand times over. Die, die, die!"
This was Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas' voice, and also the
voice of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.
In his outburst was contained his incomparable rage, his
ultimate despair, and his extreme hate.
Wu Yu clearly felt the wave of hate. He knew that by occupying
this body, he had destroyed the hopes that the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord had been nursing for five yuan, perhaps
longer.
He had prepared for hundreds of thousands of years to
nurture this important hope, and now it was all Wu Yu's. This
was 600,000 years of enmity.
Yet Wu Yu was clear. If there came a day where the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord was no longer suppressed by the Ruyi
Jingu Bang, returning to the mortal world, he would have his
revenge.
Just as he had said, Wu Yu would be tortured for eternity, just
as the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord was feeling now.
However, there was no turning back for Wu Yu now. Hearing
the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord's warning, he might
experience a moment of regret and fear, but his dao was
indomitable, and he had already walked this path. There was
no time to regret.
When the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord was reborn, he was
already unable to stand Wu Yu. And now Wu Yu had stolen his
body and ability.
"Got it. We'll see." This was Wu Yu's reply to the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord after he composed himself
Of course, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord had already
subsided, and perhaps had not heard Wu Yu's reply.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his face suddenly pale unnaturally,
Ming Long was afraid that there was some problem with the
Heaven Devouring Avatar.
Wu Yu told her.
"Cultivation and the road to immortalhood is fraught with risk.
Choosing the best ability also means you have to face the most
dangers. You probably know better than I do. If ever I come
back to life and reincarnate, I will do my best to stand with you
on this. After all, it was I who urged you to do this," Ming Long
said somberly.
"Don't worry. I am prepared." The sudden outburst of rage
from the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord had not affected Wu Yu.
Right now, he wanted to test the abilities of the Heaven
Devouring Avatar. Firstly, he had to see if it could grow by
consuming immortal essences or immortal medicines.
Chapter 755: First Devouring
Wu Yu had now put aside his Unshackled Doppelganger,
advanced dao treasure, and the puppets of the Floating
Dreams Pagoda. His focus was solely on the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
He often gave his Unshackled Doppelgangers Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pills to use and therefore this process
wouldn't draw the attention of others.
When his Heaven Devouring Avatar saw a Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pill, he didn't seem to feel the desire to
consume it.
From this, Wu Yu concluded that perhaps immortal medicines
wouldn't do the trick.
He took out some immortal essences of various types for the
Heaven Devouring Avatar next. In the end, immortal
medicines and immortal essences didn't seem to be what the
Heaven Devouring Avatar wanted.
Nonetheless, he still gave it a try. In the end, he realized that
his Heaven Devouring Avatar couldn't digest immortal
medicines or immortal essences.
The core of the Heaven Devouring Avatar was a ball of mist.
Therefore, he could retrieve those immortal medicine and
immortal essences by reaching into his new body and pulling
them out.
There was a possibility that it was because his Heaven
Devouring Avatar was too weak at the moment. Perhaps the
new body would be able to digest them in the future.
Regardless, the most important thing now was to find a way
for the Heaven Devouring Avatar to evolve and become
something stronger.
Wu Yu tried everything on him and found that nothing worked.
"Do you remember the Ghostly Emperor and Yu Fuyao of the
Heavenly Seas? They seemed capable of devouring the bodies
of martial cultivators and demons to strengthen themselves. I
feel you can give this a try as well," Ming Long remarked after
reminiscing about it.
"That should be right." That jolted Wu Yu's memory. When
they were in the East Sea, he saw the Ghostly Emperor
strengthen himself rapidly by devouring the bodies of the
cultivators in battle. It only ended when Luo Pin appeared to
annihilate him.
Perhaps what he needed now was the corpses of demons.
For those dozen-odd demons he had killed previously, he had
basically left all of them on the spot.
With the exception of the corpses with value, no one would
clean up the demons that had died here. They would just be
left to rot.
However, the Ghost Sea Prison was huge and extremely
chaotic. It would be difficult for Wu Yu to find the places he
had battled in previously.
Because of this conjecture, he needed to kill a demon as soon
as possible.
With an objective in mind, things were getting simpler.
Wu Yu continued his mission to kill the demons.
He still used the same old method. As he required the corpse
of a demon dearly, he released all his thousand doppelgangers
and dispatched them in all directions.
In this process, the Heaven Devouring Avatar also headed out
to stay away from the range of the Shadower.
He naturally wouldn't want outsiders to see his Heaven
Devouring Avatar devouring the corpse of a demon.
Therefore, from here onwards, his second Primordial Spirit
would stay a certain distance away from Wu Yu's main body.
It would be just beyond the surveillance of the Shadower.
At this moment, Wu Yu sent a few doppelgangers to protect
his new body. He had a hard time obtaining this Heaven
Devouring Titanic Beast and couldn't let it die prematurely.
Therefore, the first devouring would be extremely important.
"Would you be emotionally affected if you had to devour the
corpse after killing the demon?" Ming Long asked.
"If one is dead, the corpse doesn't matter. Martial cultivation
is a path of pillage that is determined by heaven. In this world,
I just have to stick close and solidify my dao." Wu Yu knew
Ming Long had asked him about this for his own good.
This was because the ability to devour would seem very evil. If
it was used frequently without the right recognition, his dao
might waver, leading to a complete collapse for Wu Yu. He had
to be certain about what he should do and shouldn't do.
This world was filled with all kinds of conflicts. More often than
not, it was difficult to make a choice between two options.
Perhaps one wouldn't even have the opportunity to choose.
A total of 1,000 doppelgangers were released. Soon, it might
be 10,000. Obviously, Wu Yu didn't have sufficient Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pill at this moment. Therefore, the additional
doppelgangers might not become very strong any time soon.
If he was in the Ghost Sea Prison, there would likely only be
one way to get Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills. Obviously,
that would be to snatch them from other contestants. This was
a question that Wu Yu had to consider in the future. For now,
the only thing in his mind was to strengthen his new body and
not let it remain as vulnerable as it was currently.
If Wu Yu's dao treasure weren’t protecting it, the Heaven
Devouring Avatar might not have lasted long within the
seawater of the Ghost Sea Prison.
The demons hidden in the Ghost Sea Prison didn't disappoint
Wu Yu. When his 1,000 seemingly weak doppelgangers
separated to cover a large area, one or two demons would
think a Darkness Breaching Talisman was coming his way.
The truth was, the demons were competing with one another
in the Ghost Sea Prison. They had to fight to get Darkness
Breaching Talismans to get out. If there were any important
pieces of information, they might not be spread to other
demons. Therefore, Wu Yu using his doppelgangers to lure out
demons was still a very effective method.
It was especially so after he rested for a few days.
The truth was, the number of Dead Souls Net he had obtained
had been exceeded by many people during this period.
However, he wasn't worried as he was about to go on a real
killing spree.
"A fish has taken the bait." After waiting for a short period, an
expression appeared across Wu Yu's face once again. He
instantly used the Somersault Cloud to move towards the
location where his doppelganger was attacked by the demon.
This wasn't the first time, and he had become efficient in this.
In a short while, he caught up to the sixth tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation demon.
A demon like this was basically the weakest demon in the
Ghost Sea Prison. All it could do was snatch a few Darkness
Breaching Talismans through ambushes.
However, it was relatively easier for them as well. They just
required roughly 10 Darkness Breaching Talismans to leave
this place and return to their homes. For them, this place was
no different from hell.
The demon was a huge, black octopus. His eight tentacles had
large spikes and his entire body seemed to be forged from
steel.
Previously, he had hidden himself in the mud. When Wu Yu's
doppelganger passed by, he reached out all eight tentacles
and crushed Wu Yu completely.
In the rules of the Ghost Sea Prison, it would be either the
demon that died or the martial cultivator that perished. It had
made the first move against Wu Yu.
When he realized that Wu Yu's doppelganger was fragile, he
got a scare initially and thought he had killed a martial
cultivator by accident. If that were the case, his outcome
would be tragic.
After a period of time, he came to the realization that this
might just be a clone of a martial cultivator.

"It's a bait!" The octopus demond dived into the mud in a

hurry.
At this moment, Wu Yu's main body appeared before his head.
Wu Yu was insanely fast. With the Somersault Cloud, one
could even say that there were few in the entire Ghost Sea
Prison that could possibly match his speed.
While Wu Yu was rushing here, over 10 doppelgangers were
escorting his Heaven Devouring Avatar over as well.
"Martial cultivator! Unscrupulous! The Dark North Tribe will
definitely be annihilated! My companions in the Dead Souls
Sea Region will definitely flatten the Dark North Emperor
Continent one day and obliterate the Dark North Tribe. They
will use your flesh and blood to feed thousands and thousands
of our offspring!"
When Wu Yu appeared, the black octopus started growling
frantically.
The truth was that Wu Yu's main body didn't look very strong
either. Therefore, after fleeing for a period, the black octopus
steeled himself and turned to attack Wu Yu instead.
"Take out your Darkness Breaching Talisman right now! Don't
beg for mercy after I beat the absolute crap out of you!" Wu
Yu was surprised that this demon would still act so arrogantly
in the Ghost Sea Prison.
"Grandson, do you know how many Dark North Tribe
members I've killed on the battlefield? I've skinned many
young martial cultivators alive. Even if you get on your knees
and beg for mercy, it won't work. The Dark North Tribe didn't
kill me, they gave me an opportunity to live. I have
accumulated three Darkness Breaching Talismans now and
there are five months to go. All you guys can do is watch me
return to the Dead Souls Sea Region openly and you guys will
still be trash in my eyes!"
The black octopus was extremely agitated. As he charged and
attacked Wu Yu, he executed his Natural Mystique. At the
same time, he was talkative and laughing brazenly.
However, Wu Yu wasn't in the mood to entertain him. He
came quickly and the ending was quick as well.
He retrieved his advanced dao treasure, the Otherworldly
Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff, and swung it down on his head
with the Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy of a Primordial
Spirit Transformation cultivator and the brute strength of his
Invincible Vajra Body. The strike was rapid and brutal and
forcefully put an end to the chattering of the black octopus
demon.
He was killed in one strike.
Wu Yu took away his Dead Souls Net and left rapidly. His
reappearance and onstart of hunting for demons had drawn
the attention of many people outside. It was especially so
when he employed such a high profile hunting method.
However, everyone's attention was on his main body. They
weren't aware that when he left, his Heaven Devouring Avatar
had arrived at the top of the octopus demon's corpse.
At this moment, Wu Yu could clearly feel the frenzied desire
and restlessness from his new body.
He had been starved for a really, really long time.
Now that he had finally seen the food he had so desired, it
didn't matter if the food was alive or dead. The most core and
primitive desires in him were deeply aroused.
This was still the first time and he had entered a frenzied state.
The intense desire and restlessness would have some impact
on the mental state of his main body.
However, Wu Yu didn't restrain this desire. The body with
white hair and red eyes transformed into a ball of black mist
and rapidly shrouded the corpse of the octopus demon.
When the demon was shrouded in the black mist, he felt like
countless microbeads had entered his body.
Wu Yu could indeed feel the exhilaration from devouring. It
felt just like he was about to become a cultivator.
For him, the sixth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm
demon might be a little too enormous. The newly born him
would take a long time to devour it. Therefore, even after two
hours, only a small portion of the corpse of the demon was
gone.
Nonetheless, Wu Yu could clearly feel that his body was
getting stronger and stronger. The pace of strengthening had
even exceeded his imagination.
The increment in toughness that was typically achieved over a
few years or even decades through cultivation could now be
completed within two hours.
From this point onwards, Wu Yu finally understood what kind
of existence the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord was and how
lucky he was to have the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
Chapter 756: Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design
Both of them were his bodies. When his main body was talking
to Ming Long, his Heaven Devouring Avatar was completely
immersed in devouring. That was the primitive instinct of that
body.
He had transformed into a ball of black mist and was ripping
the body of that demon bit by bit. After which, the more
frightening part was his ability to convert energy. The flesh of
the demon and even his Primordial Spirit, Violet Kingdom
Primordial Energy, and other parts that ordinary people
couldn't control were also devoured and converted to his own
strength.
The entire Heaven Devouring Avatar only cares about one
thing: devouring.
This existence could be classified as energy or Primordial
Spirit. Regardless, everything was fused together. He could
think, he could transform, he could attack, and he could
devour.
For him, the body of the octopus demon was just like a huge
mountain.
His current fragile body would likely take a few days to
completely devour it.
Therefore, Wu Yu wasn't in a rush. On one aspect, his
doppelgangers were improving rapidly. But his main body
could consider completely conquering the 10,000 Dragons
Staff before raising the tier of his Unshackled Doppelganger.
All of this could greatly enhance his fighting prowess within a
short period, greatly improving his ability to hunt for demons.
However, there was something to consider. As the Shadower
was following him, he couldn't enter the Floating Dreams
Pagoda to challenge the puppets.
Otherwise, the Floating Dreams Pagoda would be exposed
before the eyes of the public.
Even with just the advancements in the Unshackled
Doppelganger and the 10,000 Dragons Staff, he would become
even more frightening.
However, Ming Long told Wu Yu another thing at this point.
She said, "Your Heaven Devouring Avatar can't grow endlessly
stronger by devouring. Even the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord
had his limits. When it reaches the limits, you have to stop it.
Once you exceed it, you might find it hard to control."
"What's the approximate limit you are speaking of?" Wu Yu
was clear on this as well. If his Heaven Devouring Avatar could
devour endlessly without restrictions, he wouldn't have to
continue cultivating. All he would need was to go around
devouring.
The Heaven Devouring Evil Lord wouldn't have been
imprisoned and suppressed by the immortals that were sent
by the heavens otherwise.
"You have two Primordial Spirits, and the one in your main
body is still the main one. The one in the Heaven Devouring
Avatar is the secondary. As the Heaven Devouring Avatar and
the Primordial Spirit have fused completely, so your Primordial
Spirit will strengthen as the Heaven Devouring Avatar gets
stronger. Once your lesser Primordial Spirit exceeds the
greater Primordial Spirit, the connection between the two will
be destabilized. If the difference isn't great, it might not be a
problem yet. Once the lesser Primordial Spirit greatly exceeds
the main Primordial Spirit, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to
contain the desire to devour. You will be completely driven by
your instincts and become a new Spirit of the Universe like the
Heaven Devouring Evil Lord."
Due to the integration of Wu Yu's lesser Primordial Spirit into
the newly born Heaven Devouring Avatar, the lesser
Primordial Spirit had become very fragile and possessed huge
room for growth.
His Primordial Spirit and physical strength were uniform. Wu
Yu's current main Primordial Spirit was roughly at the level of
an eighth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm
cultivator’s.
In that case, the limit for the Heaven Devouring Avatar would
roughly be at the eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm.
"In other words, when the Heaven Devouring Avatar reaches
the eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm,
he can still devour. The ability remains, but if I let him grow
overly strong, he will greatly exceed my greater Primordial
Spirit. I might lose my control under such circumstances, be
driven by the instincts of devouring, and implicate the
innocent, right?"
Ming Long nodded and said, "Yeah. Only when your greater
Primordial Spirit is stronger than the Heaven Devouring Avatar
can you use your main body to control him and maintain a
clear mind when the Heaven Devouring Avatar is controlled by
his instincts."
Wu Yu was a little disappointed. He thought he could have an
avatar that would far exceed the strength of the main body.
"You actually don't need to be upset. If it exceeded the main
body by a little, it wouldn't be much of a problem to some
extent. The main body and the Heaven Devouring Avatar
would still be under your control. The only worry is when the
difference is too large. If there's an accident and the difference
is too huge, your main body can still catch up rapidly to
eradicate the issue," Ming Long consoled him.
She was right! Even with the limits of the Heaven Devouring
Avatar, this was something that anyone in the entire Jambu
Realm would desire.
"I believe I should be able to sense when the Heaven
Devouring Avatar reaches a similar level as the main
Primordial Spirit," said Wu Yu.
At least for the moment, Wu Yu couldn't feel his limits. He felt
that his Heaven Devouring Avatar still had room for endless
devouring.
To be capable of reaching the level of Wu Yu's main body
within just a month was something unbelievable for the entire
Jambu Realm. His main body wasn't far from the Heaven
Devouring Avatar.
If anyone passed by Wu Yu's doppelgangers and saw the
Heaven Devouring Avatar, he could also arrive at the scene
rapidly.
After all, the surveillance of the Shadower was only so big.
While the Heaven Devouring Avatar was devouring, Wu Yu
prepared to completely conquer the Otherworldly Infinite
10,000 Dragons Staff.
At this moment, he couldn't be considered the true owner of
his advanced dao treasure.
Therefore, in the deep and boundless sea and before the eyes
of some, he retrieved the 10,000 Dragons Staff and sat with
his legs crossed. He placed the 10,000 Dragons Staff before
him and held it tightly with both hands.
Since he now had a Primordial Spirit, communicating with the
dao treasure became much simpler.
His Primordial Spirit entered the dao treasure directly and he
arrived at the world of the 10,000 Dragons Staff.
In this world, the bottom was a vast and endless sea. At the
surface of the sea, 10,000 dragons were playing, dancing, and
flying around.
That Infinity Beast had been waiting for Wu Yu for a long time.
When Wu Yu arrived in this world, a huge, black shadow
surfaced from the endless sea. The shadow became clearer
and darker, a sign that the Infinity Beast was getting closer and
closer.
Soon, the Infinity Beast dashed out from the sea. All of a
sudden, the entire sea was tumbling and howling.
Wu Yu finally got a good look at the Infinity Beast.
Its looks would be... It possessed no looks...
Just like the endless sea below him, the Infinity Beast was
actually a ball of water. However, this ball of water was way
darker and closer to the shade of black than that of the sea.
This was similar to a Spirit of the Universe. For example, the
Stygian River that Wu Yu had once defeated was a sphere of
water that could transform freely.

At this moment, the Infinity Beast had taken the form of a

huge mystical dragon. The mystical dragon was entirely
formed from water but still appeared vivid and extremely real.
"The Infinity Beast is an exemplification of power. If I want to
conquer it, I need absolute power."
At least on this aspect, Wu Yu was wildly confident.
"Be careful and don't fail miserably in this easy task.
Otherwise, it will be hilarious." Now that Wu Yu had
undergone a huge metamorphosis, Ming Long was really
content as well.
The truth was, the Heaven Devouring Avatar made her feel
that it wouldn't be long till she would be reborn.
"Bam!" The Infinity Beast didn't waste time speaking when it
saw Wu Yu. It swung its dragon claws and tail towards Wu Yu
instantly.
Those were the most basic attacks. Ripping with its dragon
teeth, tearing with dragon claws, and sweeping with the
dragon tail. However, due to the immense force behind them,
they were hard to deal with. Wu Yu had to focus all his energy
and will to confront the Infinity Beast head-on.
Within the endless sea, columns of water shot up. The sky and
earth seemed to have tilted and the ravaging water was
tumbling in the air before falling back down, resulting in a
deafening boom.
Wu Yu clashed with the Infinity Beast with pure strength
within this space.
He transformed into the golden ape and clashed with the
water dragon countless times.
His Primordial Spirit was dense, compact, and sufficiently
tough. Overall, he far exceeded a typical first tier Primordial
Spirit.
Within the endless sea, he seemed to have an indestructible
body, like the Infinity Beast. He smashed the Infinity Beast into
smithereens, but it formed back soon after. As for Wu Yu, his
body couldn't be broken at all.
Both parties seemed impossible to defeat. In that case, it
would go down to a contest of willpower to see whose
patience would last longer. "Don't even think of competing
with me in this aspect!" Wu Yu was least afraid of a contest of
willpower and laughed heartily. He was confident, passionate,
and threw punches and kicks constantly.
He had completely lost track of time while battling the Infinity
Beast. Since his Heaven Devouring Avatar was still gradually
devouring the body of the demon, he had the time to force
this Infinity Beast into submission.
Moreover, he had the cheers and support of the 10,000
dragons in the endless seas. He had conquered the mystical
dragons previously. Now that he was in battle, they were
cheering and helping Wu Yu.
As things would seem, even the Infinity Beast knew Wu Yu
would likely conquer it as time passed by.
Therefore, after half a day, the Infinity Beast finally stopped.
In a vibrant voice, it said, "A unique young talent that deserves
my total respect. From today onwards, the 10,000 Dragons
Staff will definitely follow and help you battle and rule the
world!"
"Thank you, Seniors, for helping. Wu Yu will definitely let the
10,000 Dragons Staff shine brilliantly and leave a mark in
history!"
After fully conquering the advanced dao treasure, Wu Yu was
in an extremely good mood. He couldn't wait to move out of
this world and master the remaining spirit designs on the
10,000 Dragons Staff.
Within the remaining spirit designs, the most important were
the offensive spirit designs!
Wu Yu had a good understanding of the other spirit designs of
the 10,000 Dragons Staff. These spirit designs were largely
servicing those few offensive spirit designs. Within this
advanced dao treasure, there were 10 offensive spirit designs,
and more than 10,000 other spirit designs were used to
complement these offensive spirit designs.
The 10 offensive spirit designs were the core of all the other
spirit designs. Among which, two were the strongest, and
what Wu Yu needed dearly currently. One was known as the
10,000 Dragons Total Annihilation Design.
This spirit design had 10,000 scaled mystical dragons as the
core. It gathered all the strength of the advanced dao treasure
and released it explosively in a catastrophic manner that could
obliterate spirit designs.
The other spirit design was the Infinite Eternal Sand
Reincarnation Design. This was even more incredible than the
previous spirit design, with even more mystical functions. It
wasn't just an offensive spirit design, but also could be used to
defend, control the enemy, and attack. Moreover, the infinite
powers were recycled constantly to enable wave after wave of
attacks.
The two main offensive spirit designs were attacking methods
that Wu Yu needed dearly at the moment. Together with his
four mystiques, the Blood Weeping World Technique, and the
Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique, Wu Yu's battle
prowess could definitely reach a new peak.
Chapter 757: 10,000 Doppelgangers
Although the Dark North Battle for Supremacy only lasted for
half a year and close to a month had passed, Wu Yu still calmed
himself and focused on studying the two offensive spirit
designs.
He spent a substantial amount of time studying, while others
were using the time to rapidly open up the distance between
them. However, Wu Yu was confident in catching up and even
making it to the top 10.
On the end of the Heaven Devouring Avatar, he was still
devouring the demon’s corpse. It would likely take some more
time before he could completely digest it.
Based on the current pace, the Heaven Devouring Avatar
would likely be able to reach the equivalent of a 10th tier
Jindan Dao cultivator or a first tier Violent Kingdom of the
Inner Sea cultivator after devouring the demon.
The truth was, the Ghost Sea Prison was the best place for the
Heaven Devouring Avatar to be born. There was a large
number of demons available to be killed here. If he was in the
Dark North Kingdom or other places, there wouldn't be that
many.
He had roughly five months left. However, based on this
speed, his devouring ability would only get stronger. It would
likely take at most a month before he reached the level of Wu
Yu's main body. Or perhaps he wouldn't even need that long.
His main body started studying the offensive spirit design of
the 10,000 Dragons Staff while the Heaven Devouring Avatar
continued devouring and digesting.
Wu Yu was currently in a rather deserted corner. Few demons
and martial cultivators would pass by. This provided him a
relatively stable environment.
"He has such a great opportunity and yet he chose to cultivate
in that place. What a waste of time. Before he entered the
Ghost Sea Prison, he should have raised his cultivation level to
the peak and spent the half year solely on killing!" Outside,
some people who were spectating the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy made remarks after noticing what Wu Yu was
doing.
"Initially, I thought he would give a shocking performance and
stood a chance to be in the top 100. Now, it seems like he no
longer has any hopes."
"Yeah. He has wasted several days now and many people have
overtaken him."
When they saw Wu Yu cultivating, the number of people
paying attention to him dropped further. After all, in other
places, there were more young experts engaging in intense
battles with the demons. The battles were more thrilling and
full of twists and turns.
However, on the side of Yan Huang Ancient Country, there
were lots of people paying attention to Wu Yu. Most of them
were also discussing the various magical methods that Wu Yu
had displayed.
They were discussing and verifying if anyone knew such
methods had ever appeared in the history of the Dong Sheng
Divine Continent. Naturally, no one knew.
Qu Yin and a few old men around him often talked about Wu
Yu.
When they saw Wu Yu sitting down and cultivating, he said,
"This brat is pretty interesting. I believe his main objective of
participating in the Dark North Battle for Supremacy isn't to
win any awards. After all, this is something that is almost
certainly out of his reach. Becoming stronger is his real
objective. Perhaps this is also the reason behind him going to
the Dark North Kingdom."
"I heard he had planned to go to Yan Huang Ancient Country
initially. However, he was worried that he would have no
support or background when he reached the Yan Huang
Ancient Country and would therefore become a target for
sinister schemes. As such, he chose the Dark North Kingdom,
where he had the protection of Princess You Xue. When the
Dark North Battle for Supremacy ends, we can think of ways
to gain his trust so we can bring him back. For a young talent
like him, even if we can't get what's on him, it would be great
if we could raise him to serve the Yan Huang Ancient Country,"
said the old man next to him.
"Although the people from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent
can be considered members of our Yan Huang Tribe, the
mystiques and techniques he has displayed have truly piqued
my interest. If he's brought back to Yan Huang Ancient
Country, others would make a move even if we don't. If we
leave him here, the Dark North Tribe will gain the most from
this," Qu Yin said solemnly.
"That's true."
As they spoke, time was passing. While Wu Yu was
familiarizing himself with his advanced dao treasure, his
doppelgangers were also getting stronger.
Roughly 10 days later, he had fully mastered the 10 offensive
spirit designs on the 10,000 Dragons Staff, including the two
most crucial designs.
On the day before this, the Heaven Devouring Avatar had
completely digested the demon.
He had become a little stronger than envisioned. A sixth tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm demon had
strengthened the Heaven Devouring Avatar to the equivalent
of second tier Violent Kingdom of the Inner Sea cultivator.
Reaching the second tier of the Violent Kingdom of the Inner
Sea Realm in half a month or so was definitely unprecedented
in the Jambu Realm.
From here onwards, the Heaven Devouring Avatar wouldn't be
fragile to the extent that it might die casually. At the very least,
it had a little strength for self-preservation. Obviously, Wu Yu's
impending objective was still to further strengthen it.
The 10,000 Dragons Staff had been settled and the Unshackled
Doppelganger, which had been stagnant for a long time,
should reach a new tier soon as well.
Wu Yu had longed to study the new tier of the Unshackled
Doppelganger. He had a clear comprehension and was just
lacking a Primordial Spirit. Now that he had the Primordial
Spirit, forming the other 9,000 doppelgangers would just be
the next logical step.
The difference between 1,000 and 10,000 doppelgangers was
extremely huge. The new 9,000 doppelgangers might be
slightly weaker than the rest.
Nonetheless, one could imagine the insane might of a dao
technique when it was performed by 10,000 Wu Yus
simultaneously, even though the Violet Kingdom Primordial
Energy might be lacking a little!
"With the Unshackled Doppelganger to amplify them, all the
dao techniques in my hands could have power similar to top-
class mystiques and not be any inferior to my other attacking
methods."
Wu Yu was now looking forward to the scene of 10,000
doppelgangers executing the Blood Weeping World Technique
and the Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique together.
When he finally obtained 10,000 doppelgangers, the edge of
this mystique would become more prominent. It wouldn't be
inferior to the other three mystiques.
Following which, he used close to six days to completely
immerse himself within the Unshackled Doppelganger.
This process was smoother. The Unshackled Doppelganger
had not improved for a long time. With a powerful Primordial
Spirit, mastering 10,000 doppelgangers didn't seem to be a
difficult task. After all, Wu Yu's control of his Primordial Spirit
was top-class, and it was not inferior to Duan Yi and the rest’s.
Six days later, he successfully formed 10,000 doppelgangers
around him.
The only troublesome issue to summon these doppelgangers
was to pluck 10,000 strands of monkey hair from his body....
This scene was naturally captured clearly and reflected to the
800,000 people watching.
As the range of the Shadower was limited, the outsiders
couldn't see all 10,000 doppelgangers. Instead, they probably
could only see around 2,000. Nonetheless, the densely packed
Wu Yus filled the entire range of the Shadower, and this scene
was too shocking.
"Wu Yu's doppelganger mystique is indeed magnificent. I have
never heard of a doppelganger mystique like this. A
doppelganger mystique like this could very well rank in the top
10 in the Yan Huang Ancient Region. In fact, I believe it could
be in the top three," You Shang commented in awe after
witnessing it.
"Interesting. Truly interesting. Previously, I even saw all his
doppelgangers executing dao techniques. There must be at
least 2,000 doppelgangers there! If they used the same dao
technique at the same time, even the weakest dao technique
would have top-class strength. A mystique like this is truly
inciting jealousy." Even You Shi was impressed.
Discussions about Wu Yu bloomed once again.
Naturally, there were also more people who would be after his
legacy.
However, Wu Yu did not regret participating in the Dark North
Battle for Supremacy and exposing his mystique before the
eyes of the crowd.
At the very least, he had successfully formed his second
Primordial Spirit in this place. This outcome had greatly
exceeded his expectations.
However, Wu Yu was faced with a new predicament: the
number of Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills that the 10,000
doppelgangers needed was too high.
Currently, these doppelgangers had to be boosted to the
equivalent of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm.

They didn't have real Primordial Spirits. However, their Violet

Kingdom Primordial Energy could be further enhanced.
Wu Yu was lacking a large number of Great Dao Primordial
Spirit Pills. He estimated that his exhaustion of Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pills was probably thousands of times greater
than others. Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills represented the
wealth of martial cultivators. At this point, Wu Yu was
penniless and destitute.
At this juncture, he didn't have Great Dao Primordial Spirit
Pills. Therefore, his doppelgangers wouldn't be sufficiently
strong and wouldn't reach their peak states.
"There's only one way to go about it." Before Wu Yu reached
this tier of the Unshackled Doppelganger, he had thought of
this solution. That would be to snatch others' Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pill.
Although this would offend many people and would be too
conspicuous, offending people in the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy was something to be expected. Considering that
he had been too conspicuous as well, Wu Yu didn't care if he
was even more so.
He knew many people had their eyes on him. For him, there
was a huge hurdle right ahead.
"If my strength can break through this hurdle during the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy, there won't be many people who
can do anything to me, regardless of how high-profile I might
be when I get out."
He felt that martial cultivators had to have the courage to just
charge ahead without considering the potential
consequences. This was also his dao. Straightforward and
courageous.
Therefore, his next objective would be to kill demons to get
Dead Souls Nets and resources for the growth of the Heaven
Devouring Avatar. At the same time, he would have to snatch
and steal the Sumeru Pouches of other martial cultivators.
In other words, within the Ghost Sea Prison, both martial
cultivators of the Dark North Tribe and all demons were his
targets.
This would be insane.
10,000 doppelgangers distributed throughout the entire
Ghost Sea Prison would be too shocking.
Wu Yu's doppelgangers would be caught in almost every
Shadower's range.
At this moment, Wu Yu had not done this. However, he had
not excluded this method, and he had the guts to execute it.
"Let's start hunting!"
Wu Yu still used his first 1,000 doppelgangers to lure demons
and search for martial cultivators he could deal with.
The Dark North Tribe members he encountered here detested
him. Now he could teach these people a lesson.
There were too many doppelgangers to feed, and this included
the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
When he reached the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm,
there were a lot more demons he could finally lay his hands
on.
His speed and efficiency had also improved substantially. Over
the next 10 days or so, he could kill three or more demons
each day. 10 days of quick advancement had allowed him to
gather over 50 Dead Souls Nets. Moreover, he was getting
even quicker and quicker.
Three or more demons a day could almost definitely put him
in the top 10 throughout the entire Ghost Sea Prison. The
leads that others had extended over him previously were now
diminishing rapidly.
He didn't encounter any Dark North Tribe martial cultivators
over these 10 days. However, Wu Yu believed it was merely a
matter of time.
The 30 or so demons had been devoured by his Heaven
Devouring Avatar. As he progressed, the speed of devouring
increased exponentially.
At this point, devouring the corpse of a seventh tier Primordial
Spirit Transformation demon would only require 15 minutes
or so.
His Heaven Devouring Avatar now had strength equivalent to
eighth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators.
It was also on this day that Wu Yu met two familiar faces.
Gong Shenjun and Yin Xuan! To Wu Yu's surprise, they had
gotten together to search for Wu Yu's doppelgangers.
Chapter 758: Domineering Rise
"Wu Yu, you again?" Gong Shenjun and Yin Xuan said
unanimously when they saw Wu Yu's clone.
They had hostile and frustrated expressions.
They likely knew that Wu Yu was using his clones to bait
demons.
Besides, it was said to be very effective - at least the number
of Dead Souls Nets that he had accumulated was far beyond
their total. This made them jealous.
After Wu Yu's clone found them, the real body immediately
sped over.
The real body was on the Somersault Cloud, and broke
through the waves like the wind. Even though Wu Yu was
lounging on it, the Somersault Cloud still bore him swiftly to
them.
In a flash, Wu Yu appeared before them.
This speed revealed to Gong Shenjun and Yin Xuan that Wu
Yu's real body had arrived.
They were a little intimidated now, but quickly recovered their
composure. Gong Shenjun cleared his throat. "This is the
Ghost Sea Prison, and there are 800,000 people watching
outside. What are you trying to do?"
Although he was not happy about his loss to Wu Yu, when he
recalled the manner in which he lost, he still had to treat this
person with due respect.
As for Yin Xuan, he had long lost to Wu Yu, and his ability was
considered the weakest in the entire Ghost Sea Prison. He was
only here thanks to a leg up from Gong Shenjun.
"You were involved in the matter of Yin Ying as well. I haven't
settled the score yet." Wu Yu gave a casual laugh, which
unnerved them tremendously.
"Come. Ignore him." Gong Shenjun was not afraid of being
shamed. He dragged Yin Xuan and prepared to leave.
Naturally, Wu Yu would not let him.
"You can indeed go, but you have to leave something behind."
As he spoke, Wu Yu had already used the Immortal Ape
transformation, blowing a bunch of hairs to create a few
thousand clones.
All of the Immortal Apes screeched and chattered, staring at
the pair with their burning eyes.
Only a small portion of the clones were in their sight. Many
more were in darker places that they could not see. And this
made them even more fearful.
This many Immortal Apes was a chilling scene.
"What are you trying to do? You dare to raise a hand against
us? Tired of life? You think I, Gong Shenjun, can't finish you
off?" Gong Shenjun yakked on and on, but his stammering
belied his nervousness.
"Hehe." Wu Yu did not deign to reply. He wanted a decisive
exchange, so that others would not see that he was stealing
Sumeru Pouches. He moved.
For Wu Yu right now, defeating these two was all too easy. It
was like taking candy from a baby.
These few thousand clones were not very strong yet, but he
could use them to test the Blood Weeping World Technique
and Holy Elephant Hell-shocking Technique.
However, just the Blood Weeping World Technique would be
enough for these two.
The thousands of clones used the Blood Weeping World
Technique at the same time, and it was an impressive sight.
Wu Yu had to repress it slightly, or the two would die, and that
would be a problem.
Therefore, he only had his clones use the technique, while his
real body held back.
Even so, the thousands of Blood Weeping World Techniques
created a sound that battered one's eardrums and Primordial
Spirit. Both Gong Shenjun and Yin Xuan were pale and curled
into balls, screaming and trembling.
Under the onslaught of the Blood Weeping World Technique,
they were powerless to resist. They could only cry and beg for
help.
Perhaps they still did not believe that Wu Yu would truly attack
them, but now they were completely undone. Occasionally,
when they peered up at Wu Yu, his merciless gaze made them
tremble.
What they did not foresee was that Wu Yu would appear
beside them and then take their Sumeru Pouches.
"You!"
It was even more shocking and painful to see Wu Yu open their
Sumeru Pouches right before their eyes.
"I'll be taking your Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills. Here's the
rest back." Wu Yu returned their Sumeru Pouches to their side.
At this time, the Blood Weeping World Technique had also
ended, as did their pain. Their minds were blank as they
clutched their own Sumeru Pouches, looking fearfully at Wu
Yu, too scared to say a word.
In quick order, Wu Yu retrieved all his clones and very quickly
vanished from their sight. Only now did they realize how badly
they had been humiliated. They hurled insults, curses, and
threats after him, but Wu Yu could not hear them.
"Wu Yu, I swear to God, in half a year, when we leave this
place, I will see you begging on your knees! I will return you
the pain you have dealt to me tenfold!" Gong Shenjun cursed.
It didn't matter how badly they abused him, because Wu Yu
was long gone.
And he could not possibly return their Great Dao Primordial
Spirit Pills to them.
"He dares to steal our Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills! Does
he think the Dark North Kingdom is his home?! This is OUR
territory. How can we be run over like that!?" Yin Xuan said
with clenched fists.
......
It was not just them. Hundreds of thousands outside had
noticed the situation here as well, and many jaws were on the
floor. Wu Yu's conduct had far exceeded their expectations.
"This Wu Yu is really a bold one. Those two youngsters are the
next generation of the Master of Justice and Minister Yin
households. Wu Yu actually took their Great Dao Primordial
Spirit Pills!"
"Preposterous! Does this kid really think that the Yin
Residence is feeble?!" Yin Ding was beside himself and
seething with rage when he saw this. Wu Yu had caused the
Yin Residence to lose face, and this was not the first time.

"After the Dark North Battle for Supremacy ends, it'll be time
to deal with Wu Yu," Yin Ding decided.
Although there would often be clashes between the 1,000
participants, this outsider, Wu Yu, had robbed them of their
Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills. This was quite a stir, and
those from the Yin Residence and the Master of Justice's
house were looking especially grim.
"It seems like this Wu Yu has grown significantly stronger after
a period of cultivation. Will he continue to perform in
spectacular fashion?" Qu Yin mused.
......
In the Ghost Sea Prison, Wu Yu gathered all his clones. Besides
the Heaven Devouring Avatar, who was still moving
separately, the rest had gathered before him. He had not
gained many Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills, and after
portioning them out to 10,000 clones, it was like pouring a cup
of water on a burning cart of firewood.
"In order to strengthen all these clones, I still need huge
amounts of Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills. The strength of
the clones is also my strength, so I have to snatch even more
pills." Wu Yu decided that he would kill all the demons and rob
all the martial cultivators he came across.
After absorbing the Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills, the
10,000 clones were slightly stronger. And then he continued
on his reckless plan. His subsequent performance took many
by surprise.
In half a month, he had a bountiful harvest. Firstly, his Dead
Souls Net count reached close to 100. Because the Heaven
Devouring Avatar was now close to saturation, Wu Yu left the
demon corpses alone.
But he also could feel that both Primordial Spirits were
currently in a state of equilibrium. If the Primordial Spirit of
the Heaven Devouring Avatar overtook the Primordial Spirit of
the real body by too large a margin, he would feel an insatiable
need to devour.
Within this time, he had also stolen a total of 18 Sumeru
Pouches, and used all of them to fuel his clones. Currently, his
clones had basically reached their saturation point, and he
himself had also reached his strongest state.
What he could confirm was that he had power to match eighth
tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators, and perhaps
higher.
Of course, such brazen and despotic behavior drew everyone's
attention, and many within the Ghost Sea Prison knew about
what he was doing as well. Wu Yu actually dared to do such
unruly things.
Many communicated via Message Talismans, vowing to exact
a terrible price on Wu Yu if they saw him again. Wu Yu was
basically like a rat crossing the street within the Ghost Sea
Prison now. He would be beaten up on sight.
The funny thing was that no one could find Wu Yu's true body.
Even if they could, they couldn't catch him. Therefore, verbal
abuse was all they could throw his way. And as for Wu Yu's
clones, that was even more useless. Wu Yu had plenty of them,
and didn't mind them being killed.
He had chosen to engage in this highly disgraceful and
detested behavior in the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. His
reputation continued to rise, and the number of Dead Souls
Nets and his ranking with it. With 10,000 clones, his efficiency
grew more and more ridiculous by the day, and his rate of
Dead Souls Nets farming not only did not diminish, but
continued to grow.
In a flash, only four months remained in the Dark North Battle
for Supremacy. Wu Yu had obtained 140 Dead Souls Nets.
This was already enough for him to enter the top 30. In this
month, all 800,000 spectators outside had noticed Wu Yu, and
his shockingly bold behavior.
The other 900-plus participants were furious with him. If not
for the fact that they, too, were competing against each other,
they would all band up to kill Wu Yu.
Wu Yu loved their expressions of fury as they hurled abuse and
nothing else his way.
In terms of being high-profile, there was no one even close.
However, he also felt that it was time for him to truly go all-
out, since there were only four months left. Since he had
already come so far, why not shoot for the top 10, or even first
place? The Dark North Royal Obelisk was close to a seraphic
dao treasure. It was something that all 1,000 martial
cultivators dreamed of. Before, he had not even dared to
dream about the top 10, or first place. But now he dared.
It was not just because he had 10,000 clones, but also because
he had a Heaven Devouring Avatar that was even stronger
than his actual body, and the Heaven Devouring Avatar's
fighting power was still slowly being developed by Wu Yu.
While looking around for demons, he suddenly spotted a
familiar face. Wu Yu recalled that when he had fought his first
demon, this woman had tried to snatch it from him. He had
not known that this person was Lan Yu from the Eastern City
of Ice and Fire.
Chapter 759: Glacial Netherflame Emperor's Domain
The number of participants remaining in the Ghost Sea Prison
was roughly 800. The demons in this place were still rather
powerful. At this point, several demons had gathered
sufficient Darkness Breaching Talismans for them to return to
the Dead Souls Sea Region.
Having his doppelgangers distributed, encountering familiar
faces were common occurrences. For example, Wu Yu
bumped into Princess You Xue frequently.
The daughter of the City Lord of the City of Ice and Fire wore
a vibrant blue long dress and glowed with pride. Even though
she was surrounded by dark seawater, she was still gorgeous
and enchanting. Each action and smile could charm everyone
around her.
In Eastern City of Ice and Fire, she was almost certainly the
dream lover of all young male martial cultivators. If anyone
could become her dao companion, he would achieve instant
success on top of having a beautiful girl.
Therefore, Lan Yu had rejected several young men. Those that
could accompany her along the way were largely offsprings of
the nobles. At the very least, he would be the son of a
provincial lord.
Without any background and strength, standing beside Lan Yu
would definitely make them feel inferior and ashamed.
When Wu Yu's doppelganger saw her, she was surrounded by
a cluster of young men. She was chuckling and giggling over
the humor of these young martial cultivators.
However, when she saw Wu Yu, her expression chilled rapidly
and turned rigid.
"It's that mutt again! That's probably just his doppelganger.
Sister Lan, don't be angry. I'll go finish him off right away!" A
young man reacted the quickest. Just as he completed his
sentence, he charged ahead, executed a dao technique, and
ripped Wu Yu's doppelganger apart.
"I heard that this guy has snatched Great Dao Primordial Spirit
Pills from many people. He's really lawless and has no respect
for anyone. If his real body appears here, we will definitely give
him more than he bargained for!" the young man said with
confidence after finishing Wu Yu's doppelganger.
"Let's not talk about that guy. I'll puke just from seeing his
face. I wonder why Army General You Shang would let this Yan
Huang Tribe lout participate in our Dark North Battle for
Supremacy!" Lan Yu said with a frown.
"Moreover, I heard that he isn't really from the Yan Huang
Tribe. He is just a barbarian that came from Dong Sheng Divine
Continent."
While everyone was happily conversing, to their
astonishment, a figure appeared before their eyes and
blocked off their path.
Wu Yu had really arrived here.
"Another one? Now die!" said that good-looking young man
who had just finished off one of Wu Yu's doppelgangers.
He charged forward once again and executed his dao
technique to destroy this doppelganger.
"Scram!" When the other party charged ahead, Wu Yu pulled
out the 10,000 Dragons Staff, swung it casually, and extended
it to over 10 zhang. The staff landed on the young man's chest,
and the immense force instantly pushed the young man away.
He disappeared from the vision of the crowd, and what
remained was just his blood-curdling scream.
Without a doubt, they knew that Wu Yu’s main body had
appeared.
Seeing Wu Yu attacking their group, the expressions on this
group of people changed drastically. They were infuriated. It
was especially so for Lan Yu, who was the leader, and the
others took instructions from her. But Wu Yu didn't show her
any face at all.
All of a sudden, the crowd started cursing. However, no one
dared to take a step forward at the thought of the outcome of
that young man.
Although he didn't require Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills at
the moment, he happened to bump into Lan Yu at this point.
Storing some extra ones was never a bad idea.
He lifted his 10,000 Dragons Staff to point at Lan Yu. With a
calm and emotional tone, he emphasized each word. "There
hasn't been an outcome for our previous clash yet!"
"That's because you are a coward and you ran away." Lan Yu
scoffed. Seeing the cowards around her lacking the guts to
make a move, she could only do so personally.
"Sister Lan, finish him off! Don't let him be so arrogant!" a
young man shouted.
"Scram!" Lan Yu yelled at them angrily before stepping up to
face Wu Yu.
"Your daughter has met up with Wu Yu again!" The Master of
Justice happened to take a look at Wu Yu's Shadower and saw
Lan Yu in it.
The City Lord of Ice and Fire had noticed even earlier. He only
felt like scoffing upon seeing how Wu Yu taunted his daughter.
Clearly, Wu Yu must have seen her as a target.
"It's clear they are going to fight. How confident do you think
Lan Yu is?" asked the Master of Justice.
"Since she was young, she has rarely been defeated, especially
against those at her age," said the City Lord of Ice and Fire
confidently.
Their conversation had also drawn the attention of many
people. They instantly turned their attention to Wu Yu, who
had been on a meteoric rise with his shocking performances.
"I simply let you get away last time. It's time to return the
favor." After finishing her sentence, Lan Yu demonstrated her
vast Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy. Several dao treasures
appeared around her. Although they weren't advanced dao
treasures, they were all top-class with powers that were
exceptionally close to advanced dao treasures.
The truth was, Wu Yu had his eyes on her because she was way
above the eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm. After Wu Yu reached the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm, he wanted to challenge those at this
level. For him, this battle would be key to verifying his
achievements and improvements. It was especially important
for him to practice with the offensive spirit designs of the
10,000 Dragons Staff!
He wouldn't mind mercilessly defeating a clueless lass either.
When Lan Yu struck, those young martial cultivators behind
her wouldn't dare to interfere. Instead, they were cursing and
screaming at Wu Yu. What they didn't notice was that the Wu
Yu with white hair and red eyes had appeared behind them
and was silently creeping up on them.

Wu Yu thought about this. His second body would be exposed

before the eyes of others after all. Since no one knew about
the background of this body, Wu Yu just had to avoid letting
them see the devouring process.
Even if others had seen the body, they would never connect it
to the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord. At this moment, Wu Yu had
transformed into the golden ape. After which, he used the
Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth and became a giant
in the blink of an eye. The tall and slender Lan Yu was no taller
than Wu Yu’s forearm.
Wu Yu looked down from above. His entire body was thick and
strong, and his expression was savage and brutal. When facing
off against Lan Yu, it was just like a beauty versus the beast.
Behind the group of young men, the Heaven Devouring Avatar
with white hair and red eyes appeared creepy, darker, and
more bloodthirsty.
Wu Yu and Lan Yu locked eyes coldly. At the same instant, they
suddenly struck and started launching different techniques!
He could see Lan Yu surrounded by blue flames. Although she
was completely immersed in the blue flames, the flames were
chilling. The endless seawater around the flames froze into ice
rapidly.
"Glacial Netherflame Emperor's Domain!" With raging anger,
Lan Yu struck with the mystique she specialized in! When she
executed the mystique, the blue flames on her swept forward
rapidly, engulfing the range of the Shadower in a sea of blue
flames. While the blue flames burned, they also brought bone-
chilling cold waves. It wasn't much different from the extreme
cold that the Dark North Emperor Beast could bring.
The might of the Glacial Netherflame Emperor's Domain was
incredible. At the very least, it wasn't any weaker than Wu Yu's
World of the Golden Eye. Wu Yu could have used the World of
the Golden Eye to clash with her. However, he didn't do so.
This was because what he wanted to know the most today was
the might and power of this advanced dao treasure!
"10,000 Dragons Total Annihilation Design!" After this scream,
all the spirit designs within the 10,000 Dragons Staff were
complementing the 10,000 Dragons Total Annihilation Design.
Under Wu Yu's Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy, all the spirit
designs started circulating crazily. Within the world of the
10,000 Dragons Staff, 10,000 dragons were pumped into the
10,000 Dragons Total Annihilation Design. After which, they
were released explosively in Wu Yu's hands.
At this moment, the 10,000 mystical dragon engravings on the
10,000 Dragons Staff started shimmering. One could almost
hear the deafening dragon roars from 10,000 dragons. The
surrounding seawater was initially frozen. With the dragon
roars, it shattered instantly.
At this moment, Wu Yu was surrounded by the shadows of
10,000 dragons. Below his feet, the 10,000 Dragons Total
Annihilation Design was triggered. Power from between the
heavens and earth was gathering into the 10,000 Dragons
Staff as Wu Yu jumped. He ripped apart the Glacial
Netherflame Emperor's Domain with a devastating swing of
the staff. Instantly, a swarm of dragons charged ahead like
thousands of war horses galloping forward, shattering the
Glacial Netherflame Emperor's Domain completely. Lan Yu,
who was within the region, was forced to retreat. If she wasn't
protected by the dao treasures on her, she would likely be
ripped into pieces by the 10,000 dragons!
The clash was completely head-on. Wu Yu didn't flee from Lan
Yu's control like the previous time. Instead, he faced her
directly and completely destroyed the mystique that Lan Yu
was so confident of!
Obviously, this wouldn't be enough to defeat Lan Yu. After all,
she had Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy befitting of an
eighth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivator and also
a lot stronger than Wu Yu's.
Lan Yu might have been flushed by anger from being
embarrassed. She lifted all her dao treasures, cursed with her
eyes emitting blue flames, and instantly launched strong
attacks with domineering, cold waves.
Initially, there were people cheering her on. However, there
were none now. This was because when the fight started, his
Heaven Devouring Avatar had approached the group of young
men from behind and launched incessant attacks to suppress
them.
The Heaven Devouring Avatar didn't have any attacking means
at the moment. At this point, he definitely couldn't use
mystiques. As for dao techniques, they didn't seem to be
suitable. Wu Yu still needed a long time to familiarize with his
new body. However, after devouring a large number of
demons and absorbing the essence in their flesh and their
Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy, the insides of the Heaven
Devouring Avatar were filled with boundless energy. This
energy greatly exceeded Wu Yu's current Violet Kingdom
Primordial Energy. Moreover, the Heaven Devouring Avatar
was almost indestructible. Therefore, he wouldn't have to be
concerned about defense and could focus solely on attacking.
When the Heaven Devouring Avatar charged into the group,
Wu Yu's past experience in martials arts provided great aid. He
was simply using his punches and kicks and yet he could make
those young men cry out in pain, scampering around while
dodging and leaving their Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills
behind.
"That's also a clone of Wu Yu's?" Outside, many people had
seen this. Other than being shocked by Wu Yu suppressing Lan
Yu after the first clash, they were astonished that Wu Yu had
another doppelganger that was rather strong.
"You are right. That should also be a clone. However, it's a little
different from other clones."
"Perhaps that's the most important one." The truth was, many
other people had mystiques relating to creating
doppelgangers. Creating three, five, or ten was more
common. They were more impressed that Wu Yu's Unshackled
Doppelganger could create several thousand doppelgangers.
While they were in shock, Wu Yu and Lan Yu clashed again.
Moreover, it was way more intense this time.
Chapter 760: Golden Millstone
After her first mystique was shattered by Wu Yu, Lan Yu's
expression was still cold, but she attacked even more fiercely.
"God Slaying City of Ice and Fire!" Now she clasped her hands
together, moving her 10 fingers quickly. She used her vast
Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy and a few dao treasures to
form a great city made of flames!
That was the City of Blue Flames. It expanded rapidly and
occupied an entire sea region in the blink of an eye. The entire
architecture of the City of Blue Flames was practically a copy
of the Eastern City of Ice and Fire. This city looked to be
covered in flames but was actually extremely cold. You could
say that this was an icy-cold hell!
This mystique was more mysterious than Lan Yu's previous
Glacial Netherflame Emperor's Domain and no doubt much
more powerful!
Boom!
"Die!"
Lan Yu let out a shrill laugh. From her cruel eyes, it was obvious
that she wanted to kill Wu Yu using this mystique. She knew
that many people hated Wu Yu, and if she killed him, she
would not be punished.
In her hands, huge changes occurred in the City of Blue Flames.
Using both her hands to knead, this city that she had worked
hard to form became like dough. Under her speedy kneading,
the City of Blue Flames quickly turned into a Spear of Flames.
The blue Spear of Flames was unbelievably huge and thick. Lan
Yu stretched out an arm and lifted the end of the Spear of
Flames. The sharpest part of the Spear of Flames was aimed at
Wu Yu!
It was clear that the same architecture remained on that long
spear. It was just that this city now looked different due to the
kneading. This long spear was the City of Blue Flames!
This was the God Slaying City of Ice and Fire mystique!
Wu Yu had indeed experienced the strength of an eighth tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation Cultivator!
However, this only made him more excited, crazier, and
encouraged him to pour even more passion into this battle. It
had aroused all the passion in him!
"Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design!"
This was the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff's
strongest Offensive Spirit Design. Wu Yu wanted to see how
much stronger this spirit design was compared to the previous
10,000 Dragons Total Annihilation Design!
This time, the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff
changed in a way that even Wu Yu thought was unbelievable!
When his spirit design was activated, the advanced dao
treasure in his hand actually shattered from its hardest form
and crumbled into millions of particles of golden sand!
These millions of grains of sand moved before Wu Yu's eyes.
Each grain seemed to be alive! This should be the Infinite
Eternal Sand!
Those golden grains of sand transformed into a huge Golden
Millstone under Wu Yu's control!
On the Golden Millstone, all the sand churned crazily. It
changed position at high speed and caused the Golden
Millstone to turn at a horrifying speed. It tore apart the air and
seawater, letting out an ear-piercing wail!
This was like a shield and also like a meat grinder! The golden
grains of sand formed a sharp blade!
When the Golden Millstone appeared, Lan Yu was waving her
Spear of Flames and piercing towards Wu Yu!
The large, icy cold Spear of Flames instantly pierced the
Golden flaming Millstone!
Ding, ding, ding, ding!
In an instant, there were piercing sounds of weapons clashing
in the Ghost Sea Prison!
One could see the Spear of Flames embedded in the Golden
Millstone!
However, the Golden Millstone was scarier than the Spear of
Flames. No matter how large and icy cold the Spear of Flames
was, when it clashed crazily with the Golden Millstone, the
golden sand simply tore into it. Lan Yu watched in disbelief as
her Spear of Flames became shorter and shorter. It had no
chance and was simply being grinded into oblivion. When she
wanted to withdraw her Spear of Flames, the Golden Millstone
clamped onto the Spear of Flames and destroyed it entirely!
You could say that the destructive power of the Infinite Eternal
Sand Reincarnation Design had totally exceeded Wu Yu’s
imagination. This spirit design truly expressed the value of this
advanced dao treasure, the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000
Dragons Staff!
Lan Yu was originally highly confident in her mystique, but it
had been annihilated by the Infinite Eternal Sand
Reincarnation Design!
However, this was not the end yet because the Infinite Eternal
Sand Reincarnation Design was not only a defensive spirit
design. Its greatest ability was that it could both defend and
attack! The Golden Millstone formed from sharp sand
instantly exploded and scattered after it destroyed the Spear
of Flames within such a short time. The sand rolled towards
Lan Yu, and a series of loud explosions followed.
Lan Yu was still in shock over the defeat of her mystique, and
in her carelessness, those millions of golden grains of sand
surrounded her. They transformed into a huge Golden
Millstone again, and at this moment, Lan Yu was in the middle
of it. Previously, a portion of the sharp, golden sand had
rushed outwards, but now every grain was rushing inwards.
Countless golden grains burrowed towards the center of the
Golden Millstone. It was going to tear Lan Yu's blood and flesh
apart, layer by layer. It wanted her blood, flesh, bones, and
tendons to all shatter.
Wu Yu believed that the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation
Design had the power to do so.
Lan Yu was totally suppressed by the spirit design of the
advanced dao treasure. The heavy pressure of the Golden
Millstone was being exerted on her, and she could totally
sense death approaching. Under the pressure of the sand, she
could not move at all.
There was no talk about retaliating, or even escaping. If not for
Wu Yu not having the intention to kill her at all, she would
probably have been shredded into pieces already.
However, the heavy pressure of the Golden Millstone hit her
repeatedly and caused her to be injured.
Wu Yu appeared before her and said coldly, "Use your
Darkness Breaching Talisman and get out. Otherwise, even if I
don't kill you, I can make you remain like this."
He was already polite because the other party's attack was
meant to kill him. The other party's murderous intent was
obvious.
"You!" With the repeated bashing of the Infinite Eternal Sand
Reincarnation Design, Lan Yu's organs and bones were close to
shattering. Her face was deathly pale and she was heavily
injured.
She knew she had been defeated. Previously, those youths
who were cheering her had all fled or were injured. Some had
even begged Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar for mercy.
While the Heaven Devouring Avatar had no specific moves, he
still beat them until they cowered and ran like mice.

While they outnumbered Wu Yu by so much, they had been

defeated by him badly.
"You want to force me out of the Ghost Sea Prison?!" Lan Yu
could not believe her terrible defeat.
"What do you think?" Wu Yu was expressionless.
Humiliation and indignation coursed through Lan Yu's heart.
Of course, they also coursed through the heart of the City Lord
of Ice and Fire.
At this moment, he was on the verge of crushing the armrest
of his seat. The City Lord of Ice and Fire was staring with his
eyes wide open and his veins popping. He was breathing
heavily in anger. The instant Lan Yu was defeated, he suddenly
stood up and wanted to rush downwards. The entrance to the
Ghost Sea Prison was below the Shadowers, but, of course, it
could only be opened by You Shi.
"Stop there!" Suddenly, a stern voice stopped him. He turned
back, and that person was looking at him coldly from high
above. The City Lord of Ice and Fire only then recalled that this
was the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. Under no
circumstances could he interfere, much less enter a place like
the Ghost Sea Prison. After all, even You Shi could not enter.
This was an ancient rule.
It was just that he could not control his anger in the moment
he witnessed his daughter being suppressed and injured.
"This is ridiculous!" The City Lord of Ice and Fire cursed and
returned to his seat even though he still wanted to destroy his
own seat.
"Wait till he gets out!" The City Lord of Ice and Fire could only
say that.
"Calm down." The Master of Justice beside him could
understand his feelings because his own son, Gong Shenjun,
had also just been bullied by Wu Yu.
The two of them held important positions in the Dark North
Kingdom. One of them guarded the Dark North Capital and the
other was the lord of the Eastern City of Ice and Fire. It was
unexpected for both of them to be angered by this person that
they thought to be a barbarian from the Dong Sheng Divine
Continent.
The City Lord of Ice and Fire was still angry when he heard
someone say, "Someone else is coming!" He quickly looked
and realized that there was indeed another person between
Wu Yu and Lan Yu.
This person's sudden appearance was unexpected for Wu Yu
too. He did not expect to meet him again.
He was the Full Moon of Nanshan. If he did not use his Eyes of
Fire and Gold, this guy's human form would be quite
handsome and charming.
At least he appeared to be learned and refined. He seemed
upright and looked impressive and elegant.
When he saw Wu Yu again, he did not chase and try to kill Wu
Yu like before. Instead, he was smiling radiantly. He stood
beside Lan Yu, and no one knew what he was planning to do.
When the Full Moon of Nanshan appeared, he completely
ignored Wu Yu's Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design.
He stood beside Lan Yu and said with his voice full of pity,
"Aiya, you silly bum. Don't you know how to treat girls
properly? How could you do this to such a great beauty? This
is such a waste!"
Lan Yu clearly knew that this was a demon, and to her, all the
demons in the Ghost Sea Prison were prey. They were all
enemies from the Dead Souls Sea Region. Even though the
other party was smiling at her, even though the other party
was handsome, she felt only disgust.
Lan Yu glared at him and screamed angrily, “Get away from
me, and go as far away as possible!”
"Aiyo, this little beauty's so fiesty. Don't be so angry, calm
down." The Full Moon of Nanshan smiled gently. After he
spoke, he suddenly reached out and petted Lan Yu's tall
bosoms. He massaged them into various shapes. This was a
perverted act, but his expression remained righteous. It was
as though he really wanted Lan Yu to calm down.
At this moment, Wu Yu could only hear Lan Yu's piercing
screams, then her Darkness Breaching Talisman appeared.
With simultaneous hits on her body and mind, she chose to
leave.
Wu Yu did not expect the Full Moon of Nanshan to be so
daring.
Chapter 761: Homological Immortal's Legacy
He was not only daring, but perverted. Wu Yu did not know
Lan Yu's identity, but he knew that her parents would not be
someone less powerful than Duan Yi.
He had defeated Lan Yu, and that was still within the rules, but
the Full Moon of Nanshan's actions had surpassed Wu Yu's
imaginations.
"This guy is a true pervert!" Wu Yu could not resist scolding
him in his heart.
The Darkness Breaching Talisman was sent out, and the elder
patrolling would soon arrive. The Full Moon of Nanshan
shrugged and said to Wu Yu, "I did not defeat her. This
Darkness Breaching Talisman will not add to my count, so I
think I'll go." After saying this, he immediately ran away.
Behind him, Lan Yu kept screaming and cursing.
"No matter what demon you are, you're dead!" This
concerned her innocence. There were over 800,000 people
watching her outside. Now she would definitely become the
joke of the entire Dark North Kingdom.
She had actually been violated by a demon in the Ghost Sea
Prison. This was a great humiliation.
This was also out of Wu Yu's expectations. After he used a
large amount of golden sand to retrieve Lan Yu's Sumeru
Pouch, he took out the Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills and
returned the rest to Lan Yu. He withdrew the Infinite Eternal
Sand Reincarnation design and left with the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
"Wu Yu, I will return today's humiliation tenfold in the future.
I'll wait for you outside the Ghost Sea Prison!" As Wu Yu left,
Lan Yu's angry, piercing screams continued to echo behind
him.
Wu Yu was very calm; he was not scared by Lan Yu’s words.
There were many Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills on Lan Yu.
He had earned a lot. He could use these Great Dao Primordial
Spirit Pill for some time. He decided to focus on killing demons
now.
As he expected, there was a great argument outside now. This
time, it was not because of him, but because of what the Full
Moon of Nanshan had done. To the Dark North Tribe, this was
unbearable. This was especially true for the City Lord of Ice
and Fire. If he had been half dead with anger just now, he
would have fainted. He thought that he would let his daughter
perform well in the Dark North Battle for Supremacy so that
he could gain honor. Now his dream was completely
destroyed. Even his face was stomped into the ground. In
future, it would be difficult for Lan Yu to meet others.
Everyone was talking about this. Under the attention of many
people, the City Lord of Ice and Fire asked Prince You Shi,
"Prince, I want the life of this demon. Please hand this demon
to me!
"This is a great humiliation and I have to make this demon
regret being born." It was already not easy for the City Lord of
Ice and Fire to complete his sentence.
Prince You Shi was still calm and said, "It is no problem handing
him to you, but you have to wait until the Dark North Battle
for Supremacy is over. According to ancient rules, there have
been no prior instances of taking out demons who have a
chance."
"Sure, I shall wait." As long as he could have him, there was no
problem. After the Dark North Battle for Supremacy, he would
have plenty of time to torture the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Prince You Shi thought for a moment and said again,
"However, there may be an exception. If this the Full Moon of
Nanshan accumulates 30 Darkness Breaching Talismans, then,
according to our previous agreement, we'll have to release
him. This is the iron clad rule of the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy. We have abided by this since ancient times and
there was never an exception. It is also because of that that
the Dark North Battle for Supremacy can proceed grandly and
smoothly. The demons are also trying their best. So if he
succeeds, then I'll let him go. Of course, his chances of
succeeding are not high".
Upon hearing this, the City Lord of Ice and Fire became anxious
again. Actually, others were feeling the heat for him too. After
all, this was too humiliating. Even they could not swallow such
humiliation. While the Full Moon of Nanshan’s chances were
slim, what if he actually succeeded?
Would he really be able to go free? If that were the case, then
the City Lord of Ice and Fire would be very embarrassed. This
was intolerable for him.
So what if this was what You Shi had said? The City Lord of Ice
and Fire wanted to throw a tantrum, but at this moment, the
Master of Justice pulled him aside and quickly said, "Don't be
rash. The Prince meant that he would follow the rules. He is
only responsible for letting the Full Moon of Nanshan go.
However, this does not mean that he will protect him after
releasing him. At that time, where else can the Full Moon of
Nanshan escape to? This is the Dark North Kingdom. It is only
a matter of time he becomes the prey in your hands."
Now the City Lord of Ice and Fire understood. After all, this was
under the watch of the general public. You Shi had to follow
the rules. However, privately speaking, everything could be
arranged.
It was only now that the City Lord of Ice and Fire returned to
his own seat. Lan Yu would soon be sent out, but she would
probably not stay to watch. She would probably return to the
Eastern City of Ice and Fire immediately. The City Lord of Ice
and Fire had already arranged for people to take her back.
At this moment, the others demonstrated great performance
in killing demons. It was only then that people's attention
turned to other things.
And Wu Yu brought his doppelgangers deep into the sea. He
was submerged in darkness.
Today, Wu Yu was pleasantly surprised by the first battle of
the Heaven Devouring Avatar. The Heaven Devouring Avatar
had limitless potential. Wu Yu could only uncover a little of the
true power of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, but it was
enough.
The most terrifying ability of the Heaven Devouring Titanic
Beast was the power of devouring. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar had already proved the utility and magicalness of this
ability. He has used it for less than one month to reach the
same level of Wu Yu's real body. If Wu Yu could control it, he
could become even stronger. For instance, he could break
through to the ninth or 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm. This was probably enough to be on par
with any of these 1,000 martial cultivators here. However, just
to be safe, Wu Yu did not do that yet.
Wu Yu had already retrieved all his other Unshackled
Doppelgangers. He now had the equivalent of two pairs of
eyes. His real body and the Heaven Devouring Avatar stood
opposite each other. His real body saw a version of him that
had blood red eyes and white hair, whereas the Heaven
Devouring Avatar saw a black-haired, black-eyed, majestic,
and domineering version of himself.
It was strange. Both of them were him, but they seemed like
two different people. Their auras were totally different. Both
his real body and the Heaven Devouring Avatar would
definitely become his greatest resources in future, especially
the Heaven Devouring Avatar. As long as his real body was
strong enough, the Heaven Devouring Avatar’s strength could
increase limitlessly. It could even reach the level of the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord, who could fight immortals. Actually, that
was not difficult. The most difficult period for the Heaven
Devouring Titanic Beast was the time when he was just born
and was at his weakest.
"You've followed me here, show yourself now."
The Full Moon of Nanshan was highly skilled in hiding. It was
this skill that had helped him survive until now in the Ghost
Sea Prison.
But this time, while Wu Yu was sure that he was nearby, he
actually did not know the specific location. If he really wanted
to know, he would need to use the World of the Golden Eye.
Wu Yu was sure he was nearby based on speculation. He could
see that the Full Moon of Nanshan appeared and disappeared
so quickly. He had to have some goal, and from the change in
his attitude towards him, this goal probably had something to
do with him. Hence, when he left, the Full Moon of Nanshan
would definitely follow him.
"I was discovered again, that's incredible." As expected, after
Wu Yu said that, the Full Moon of Nanshan appeared
immediately before him, and he was just 10 zhang in front of
him. The other party took out a folded fan out of nowhere and
acted elegantly. He did not bother with the seawater
surrounding them. When that folded fan opened, he revealed
the two sides, and over 10 different beauties were drawn on
them. Each drawing was lifelike. They all looked passionate
and seductive. The key was none of them were wearing
anything.
This showed that the Full Moon of Nanshan was quite the
perverted playboy. However, to Wu Yu, he was just a wild
boar. It was just that he was more coquettish.
Seeing that he appeared as expected, Wu Yu was
straightforward and asked, "You tailed me. What do you
want? Just spit it out."
"Don't be so anxious. Monkeys are really short-tempered.
What's the rush? If there's something to be said, we should
discuss it slowly. You cannot enjoy beauty if you're in a hurry."
The Full Moon of Nanshan smiled gently.
He had just taken advantage of a beauty, and he had enjoyed
her beauty.
Recalling his daring move, Wu Yu knew that this boar was not
simple. He was not an idiot. If he dared to do that, he definitely
had a way of staying alive.
"Okay, then let me hear what you have to say." Wu Yu was not
in a hurry and waited for him to speak.
"There is indeed a reason why I'm looking for you. For a while
now, I've followed you and looked at your moves and
mystiques. It was really eye-opening. It is as though I've found
a confidant. It gives me a sense of closeness. An old immortal
told me that our legacies may be homological."
There was an old immortal?
The legacies they had received were homological?
He had secretly followed him and monitored him?
The other party was difficult to detect. His ability in hiding was
exceptional. Wu Yu was not sure if he could detect him every
time he tailed him.
If that was the case, then he had probably already discovered
many of his secrets.
"What do you mean by homological? Who is the old immortal?
If you're going to say something, explain clearly." Wu Yu still
did not know if this guy was a friend or foe. Hence, he was still
very cautious. After all, this was a demon, and when he saw
through his true form before, the other party was angered.
He did not expect him to be so straightforward and directly
say, "Homological means that I've received an immortal's
legacy and I'm guessing that you received one too."
When he said this, his lips curled into a slight smile. He looked
suspicious.
After so many years, he was the first to know that Wu Yu had
received an immortal's legacy. Wu Yu had not even told Luo
Pin.
Chapter 762: Marshal Tian Peng
When he heard the words “immortal's legacy,” Wu Yu was
quite shocked. For so many years, he had never told anyone
about it.
When the boar demon spoke these two words, Wu Yu still
thought that it was inconceivable.
But to prevent the other party from using the immortal's
legacy to trick information from him, he asked, "What is an
immortal's legacy? Are you joking, or are you crazy. If I had an
immortal's legacy, wouldn't I have become immortal already
and no longer be standing here?"
Hearing Wu Yu's words, the Full Moon of Nanshan smiled
knowingly. He seemed to have guessed his reaction and said,
"I knew you would be stubborn. How about I tell you a story?"
He paused only momentarily before starting his story.
"One year, I was just a happy little wild piglet. Every day, I'd
roll in mud under the sun and flirt with little female piglets. My
life was beautiful and free. I was not envious of lovebirds or
immortals. However, one day, a harrow fell from the sky and
stuck onto my head. I was about to die and almost did."
Here, he laughed and continued, "It was unexpected that this
was the start of my fate. In that life and death moment, it
seemed like I saw a dream, and in this dream I saw a farm tool,
the harrow. This guy told me that he was called the Supreme
Gold Harrow, also known as the Nine-Toothed Harrow. He was
forged by Taishang Laojun using the Divine Iron and the
strength of the Five Direction Emperors and the Twelve Gods
of the Sexagenary Cycle. It was said that this Taishang Laojun
was an incredible immortal in the sky palace!
"It also recited a poem to me, and this is how it went: This was
forged from Divine Iron, Polished till bright and shiny. Laojun
hammered personally, Mars added the charcoals personally.
The Five Direction Emperors used their ingenuity, the Twelve
Gods of the Sexagenary Cycle expended great efforts. To form
the Nine-Toothed Jade Hook, and cast the Double Rings and
Golden Leaves. Six stars and five planets on its body, split
according to the four seasons and eight sections. The sky and
earth are set by the rise and fall, the sun and moon are divided
by the left and right Yin Yang. The Six Divinatory lines follow
the rules of heaven, the eight trigrams and stars will follow the
order. It is named the Supreme Gold Harrow, and it entered
the Jade Emperor's Pill Tower!"
Hearing this, Wu Yu already felt that the Full Moon of Nanshan
was telling the truth. Not to mention the way he had received
the Supreme Gold Harrow, but also seeing a dream of this
treasure. Both were similar to his encounter with the Ruyi
Jingu Bang. Then there was the poem in the end with the
energetic and domineering words. This was not something a
boar could compose. Comparatively, Wu Yu believed in the
authenticity of the poem.
But the Full Moon of Nanshan still wanted to continue his
story. It was likely that this was the first time he was telling
someone this story. Hence, he was very excited, as though he
had found a confidant.
He waved his fan and the beauties on the fan shone
attractively. With the passionate storytelling of the Full Moon
of Nanshan, these beauties seemed to come alive and smiled
at Wu Yu seductively.
"The Supreme Gold Harrow was really domineering and
imposing. But to me, the most important thing was its master.
I heard that he was the most handsome immortal in the sky
palace and was in charge of 100,000 generals and soldiers in
the Milky Way. That is 100,000 immortals. This shows how
terrifying my immortal's legacy is. So I believe that one day, I
will also be able to control 100,000 generals and soldiers."
At this point, he laughed as though he was having a great
dream.
Following his story, Wu Yu said, "You have not said what this
immortal is called."
The Full Moon of Nanshan did not hesitate and answered with
gusto, "He is definitely a top immortal of his generation, he
has two well known and reputational names. Some call him
Marshal Tian Peng, though he is also well known as the Envoy
of the Cleansed Altar! You can imagine him holding the
Supreme Gold Harrow and leading 100,000 generals and
soldiers. That is so majestic and aspiring!"
At the end, the Full Moon of Nanshan thought of his own
future and almost drooled.
At this point, Wu Yu basically believed his story. The Great
Sage, Heaven's Equal was comparable to Marshal Tian Peng,
Victorious Fighting was comparable to the Envoy of the
Cleansed Altar, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang was comparable to the
Supreme Gold Harrow. This resemblance might be the reason
why the Full Moon of Nanshan had said that they had received
homological immortal's legacies.
"The interesting thing is that within the Supreme Gold Harrow,
there is an old man who received the immortal's legacy three
yuan ago. He's old and rude and supposedly was extremely
famous after he received the immortal's legacy.
Unfortunately, as soon as he reached the Dao Querying
Cultivation Realm, he was slaughtered by a group of people.
His spirit remnant hid within the Supreme Gold Harrow and
survived. Now he is waiting for me to help him regain his body
and be reborn! This guy gave himself a handsome nickname:
Qingfeng Wuzui. It's really disgusting."
"You're called the Full Moon of Nanshan, that's no better," Wu
Yu said.
"Thanks for the praise. While I'm more handsome, I'm no
brainless ditz. While I can't say that I'm rich and talented, I still
possess some literary talent," the Full Moon of Nanshan said
with a wide smile.
To be honest, Wu Yu was indeed shocked. The other party
reminded him of himself. Everything he had received was so
similar to Wu Yu. The only difference was that Wu Yu had the
Heaven Devouring Avatar, and the Heaven Devouring Avatar
was a trump card Wu Yu had that was no weaker than the
immortal's legacy.
It sounded like the Full Moon of Nanshan's legacy from
Marshal Tian Peng was more powerful because this Marshal
Tian Peng was a powerful being in the sky palace who
controlled 100,000 immortals. This was probably equal to the
Army General in the Dark Sea Army in the Dark North
Kingdom. This was a top immortal. On the other hand, Wu Yu
did not know what level the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was in
the ranks of immortals. Of course, Ming Long knew no more
than him. She also did not know much about the Great Sage,
Heaven's Equal.
At this moment, Ming Long was more shocked than Wu Yu.
"Damn me! There really is something similar to the Ruyi Jingu
Bang. How is it that I've never heard of it? And there is an old
monster from three yuan ago inside. That is much older than
me, but he's a fool to have been killed just as he reached the
Dao Querying Cultivation Realm. Old Mother here managed to
hold on till I almost achieved immortality. In summary, I'm still
stronger."
At such a time, her focus was actually on comparing herself
with that old thing.
Wu Yu was shocked that their tracks were so similar.
It took him a long time to react.
"After I saw you before, I observed you for a period of time. It
is that old guy who told me that you received an immortal's
legacy and are similar to me. I wanted to teach you a lesson,
but upon thinking how both of us have suffered the same
ordeal, I gave up. However, now I have another idea."
"What idea?" Wu Yu had already believed his words, so he was
straightforward and admitted readily. He had received a
similar immortal's legacy.
The Full Moon of Nanshan stared at him and asked, "I've told
you my personal details clearly. Shouldn't you tell me too?
What's your situation?"
Wu Yu hesitated.
The two of them had just met. While he did not doubt the
truth of what the other party had said, as the old adage said,
you could know one's face, but not one's heart. He still could
not trust this person.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not reveal anything that I know.

I have no one here and am still a prisoner. I'm even more
scared than you that my secrets will be leaked," the Full Moon
of Nanshan said helplessly.
Wu Yu also did not want to owe others too much. Since the
other party had shared so much with him, if he still refused to
share, he would seem too stingy. Hence, he said, "There's not
much difference to the process. My weapon is called the Ruyi
Jingu Bang. Its name is the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, also
called the Victorious Fighting Buddha. As for what position, I
don't know."
"Tch, that name is too lame. It is not as domineering as my
Marshal Tian Peng. He's probably too embarrassed to tell you
his position in the Sky Palace. Perhaps he is just a tiny soldier
or small general under Marshal Tian Peng," the Full Moon of
Nanshan said with pride.
This guy was really shameless.
Of course, Wu Yu was not bothered by such a useless
comparison. Just from the mystiques, the 72 Transformations,
the Body of Vajra, and the Great Way of Immortality Art, the
Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was definitely not some weak
immortal.
"What other thoughts did you have?" Wu Yu asked.
"I was thinking that it's so difficult to meet someone similar to
me. At least our encounters were similar. This must be fate,
and it's rare for such occurrences to happen even in thousands
of years. So, I don't want to disappoint such fate and want to
ask if you'd be interested in becoming my dao companion."
The Full Moon of Nanshan laughed like a pervert.
To be honest, he was really beautiful, and it would not be a
brag to call him the most handsome in the world. However,
every time he laughed, it really felt indecent.
And what did he just say? Dao companion!?
Ming Long burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Wu Yu was furious. This boar, and a male one, wanted to
become his dao companion?
He answered directly, "Why don't you die?"
"Aiya, it's a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry. I've said it too many
times before and it's become a habit." The Full Moon of
Nanshan laughed sheepishly. Then his expression turned
serious and he asked in a domineering manner, "Your Great
Sage, Heaven's Equal is definitely the follower of my Marshal
Tian Peng. On account of fate, you can follow me and be my
follower. Call me your boss, and in the future, I'll shield you
and let you walk freely. How's that?"
After saying this, he looked at Wu Yu expectantly.
This time, he was probably serious. He could hear that this was
the true intention of his contact. After saying so much, he
wanted Wu Yu to work for him.
"To be honest, even though I, the Full Moon of Nanshan, am a
demon, I've never done anything wrong to my own people. If
you follow me, I'll also definitely shield you the best I can.
Whatever benefits I get, I'll share with you. Other than
beauties, I can share everything else," the Full Moon of
Nanshan said as he looked at Wu Yu, full of expectation.
However, Wu Yu had nothing to hesitate about regarding this
question. He waved and looked at the other party. He said
bluntly, "Don't joke. It makes more sense if you become my
follower instead. I might not even accept you. After all, you are
just a prisoner now. Wait till you get out of the Ghost Sea
Prison, then I'll give you a chance to follow me." He did not
want to get involved with the other party.
After saying this, he left in a flash.
Chapter 763: Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design
To Wu Yu, the other party might have received something
similar, but this was not fate. If they were really tied by fate,
then they would definitely meet again. Compared to fate, he
believed that time would reveal a person's true colours.
He did not sense that the Full Moon of Nanshan was
trustworthy. At least he could not immediately open up to
him. As for becoming his follower, that was even less possible.
Wu Yu did not feel that he was weaker than the other party,
especially now that he possessed the Heaven Devouring
Avatar. With that, his identity would no longer only be the
successor of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
He continued to scatter his doppelgangers to search for
demons and quickly collect Dead Souls Nets. The Full Moon of
Nanshan was just a short distraction.
There were only four months left.
This time, he dispersed even more doppelgangers. There were
thousands of them covering the entire Ghost Sea Prison. They
searched for traces of hidden demons. Wu Yu totally ignored
the other martial cultivators and only reacted to demons. No
matter who spoke to his doppelgangers, he was too lazy to
deal with them as that would only be a waste of time.
In the next month, he exerted all his abilities. Demons weaker
than the eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm could hardly escape his pursuit, and as for demons
above the ninth tier, while they had many Dead Souls Nets on
them, there was only a small number of them. Wu Yu was not
bothered by this group of opponents.
In this one month, his rate of collection of Dead Souls Nets
increased exponentially. While he did not know how the
others had done, he had killed over 250 demons.
When many of his doppelgangers gathered together, they
could also kill demons. The scene was spectacular because
from the outside, Wu Yu's doppelgangers could be seen in
many of the Shadowers.
Until now, no matter how amazingly well the ninth or 10th tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators performed, they
were overshadowed by Wu Yu because his number of Dead
Souls Net was close to the top 10.
Wu Yu did not know, but those outside were counting. The
martial cultivator at 10th place had only collected 260 Dead
Souls Net. Based on Wu Yu's speed, he would soon surpass
him.
And the most important thing was that all who had entered
the top 10 were 10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
cultivators.
Moreover, they were either princes or descendants of
powerful people. Each of them were top existences below 100
years of age in the Dark North Kingdom. Almost every one of
them was the pride of the Dark North Kingdom. For instance,
Prince You Yan - he was sixth in the number of Dead Souls Nets
collected.
Actually, Wu Yu still wanted to thank him. It was because of
him that he had entered the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm.
"Half of the time has passed - there are only three months left.
I think when it ends, Wu Yu is likely to reach the top 10, or will
even remain in top 10 throughout."
"With his current method and rate of killing, it's really possible.
I really didn't expect this guy to have such a method!"
"The point is that this method seems to be cheating!"
"Although his battle power cannot be in the top 100, or even
in the top 200, his luring and killing method is really effective."
"He took a shortcut. That's unfair to the others! He is also not
from our Dark North Tribe. It's good enough to let him enter.
Do they really want to give him our Dark North Kingdom's
prizes? I think that we should make decisions based on the
situation. If not, the whole Dark North Kingdom will not like
it!"
"Indeed, if we let an outsider win a prize in our Dark North
Battle for Supremacy, and news spreads, then our whole Dark
North Tribe will be embarrassed. Not to mention that he is
some barbarian from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. Even
other tribes in our Dark North Kingdom have never taken a
prize!"
“How could something belonging to the Dark North Tribe be
given as a prize to outsiders? Everyone, let's just wait and see.
In the end, Prince You Shi will definitely disqualify Wu Yu. From
the beginning, he was already displeased."
It seemed like at least half of these 800,000 people were
talking about Wu Yu because they were too surprised by Wu
Yu's performance.
"These people are too naive. This outsider has built too high a
profile in our Dark North Battle for Supremacy. Now the rest
of the participants are unhappy too. I see that more groups
have gathered, and they are probably discussing how to force
Wu Yu out first. There are only three months left in the Ghost
Sea Prison. They will definitely not allow Wu Yu to remain," Yin
Ding said confidently.
"That is true. Wu Yu is now 11th in the ranking for Dead Souls
Nets. Anyone in the top 10 will not want him to surpass them.
He now threatens the interests of the strongest competitors
and has angered all the participants. He will never get what
that doesn't belong to him. Everyone, we just have to watch
what happens in the remaining time. Anyway, my guess is that
it will be hard for him to stay for another month."
"Besides, too many people are waiting to beat him when he
comes out."
"If he had not been so good at escaping, he would have been
expelled long ago. Perhaps he would already be dead. How
many Dao Querying Realm cultivators want him dead?"
Generally speaking, most of the Dark North Tribe still did not
want to see an outsider shine in their most desired Dark North
Battle for Supremacy. This would be a tight slap to their faces.
The Shadowers showed a few scenes clearly.
"Everyone, look. Prince You Yan, Duan Yi, and many people
have gathered. Maybe they are discussing a plan to get rid of
Wu Yu." Yin Ding took a look and smiled.
It was indeed as he said.
Prince You Yan and Duan Yi, as well as other nobles who
followed him, had gathered together. Their topic of discussion
was how to get rid of Wu Yu.
Those who could be part of this discussion were at least at the
ninth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. Duan
Yi was only here because he had met Wu Yu before. If not, he
would not even have a place to speak.
After all, he was here as the son of a provincial lord. This
background was most useless here. Of the eight present, at
least five were from the royal family.
"We cannot tolerate his arrogance anymore. The face of the
whole Dark North Kingdom is being sullied by him. The elders
watching outside have probably scolded us badly," one said.
"That is true. So what if Wu Yu is good at escaping? We have
to come up with a solution. If this continues and he reaches
the top 10 at the end, then we'll be the laughing stock of the
entire Jambu Realm."
"There's so many of us around, yet we cannot deal with one
Wu Yu, and we might even let him get the prize. I think that
will be a stain for our entire lives."
Everyone was indignant.
Prince You Yan said, "Don't speak meaningless rabble. I
gathered you here not for you to analyze whether or not to kill
him, but to discuss how to kill him. I already have a way, but I
need everyone's cooperation."
"Prince, please speak."

Prince You Yan said seriously, "He is using his doppelgangers

to lure demons. We shall play along with his plan. We catch a
demon to attack his doppelgangers. The weaker, the better so
that we can attract his attention. He'll appear immediately,
and at that moment, he will fall into a trap that we have
arranged."
This method was simple but effective. The key was how to set
it up.
Everyone looked at Prince You Yan and waited for him to tell
them how to arrange the trap.
Prince You Yan said clearly, "Before I entered, I obtained a
Dark North Soul Lock Talisman. With the efforts of the eight of
us, we can set up the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design and
lure Wu Yu into this spirit design. He is bound to be trapped."
Hearing about this Dark North Soul Lock Talisman, the others
all looked shocked. There was no doubt that this was a very
precious talisman.
Someone felt that it was a pity and said it unwillingly, "Isn't it
a bit too wasteful to use such an important thing on Wu Yu
alone? I think it's overkill. Even if he is really good at escaping,
I don't think we'll need to use this. This is one of the most
precious treasures you have."
"It is indeed a pity. Such an important thing may be useful in
the future fight for the throne. To every prince, Wu Yu is very
troublesome, so everyone will deal with him. The Dark North
Soul Lock Talisman is something that could even handle a Dao
Querying cultivator!"
It looked like everyone felt that this thing was too powerful
and a waste to use on a minor character like Wu Yu.
However, Duan Yi said, "The use of talismans is forbidden in
the Dark North Battle for Supremacy."
Prince You Yan responded, "It is forbidden to use talismans to
attack demons and other people. I'm only using it to set up a
spirit design. That's not forbidden. Even if it is forbidden, I will
not be using it to defeat demons, nor against our own people.
I'll just be dealing with a barbarian, so no one will say
anything."
Actually, it was also forbidden to set up spirit designs to attack
others. However, everyone knew that he was a prince and Wu
Yu was an outsider. Therefore, even if he did that, nothing
would really happen to him.
"That's enough, stop giving me nonsense. I'm using this Dark
North Soul Lock Talisman. I'm just asking if you guys will be
helping to collectively release the power of this talisman."
While everyone felt that this was a pity and a waste, since
Prince You Yan had set his mind on it, they nodded and agreed.
"First, let's set up the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design. After
that. you guys guard it and I'll capture a demon. Next, we'll just
have to wait for Wu Yu's real body to take the bait and we can
watch as he dies."
"Yes!"
Duan Yi smiled too. He had waited for this day for a long time.
He already felt that it was a pity that the Dark North Emperor
Beast had failed to kill Wu Yu previously.
"He only has this road to death, the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit
Design!"
Duan Yi was already looking forward to it.
......
This day, Wu Yu was still using his doppelgangers to lure
demons into his trap.
As usual, there was a demon attacking his doppelganger, and
this was a sixth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm
demon.
"I've searched this place already, why are there still demons
around?"
Wu Yu was puzzled.
Chapter 764: Eight Dark Immortals' Descent
For Wu Yu right now, every Dead Souls Net was worth
pursuing.
It was also normal for demons to appear in places that he had
already searched. After all, demons roamed freely as well.
Riding his Somersault Cloud, he charged over, reaching the site
of his clone's death in the blink of an eye. And he indeed saw
a sea region demon!
This demon was strange. It looked like a gorgeous tree, but
was armed with many sharp tentacles. Growing up near the
East Sea, Wu Yu naturally knew that this was a coral, but he
did not know that coral could become demons.
This coral demon's speed was rather slow. Wu Yu needed
some time to come over, but the demon had not yet fled yet,
remaining where it originally was. Although he could not see
his face upon his arrival, Wu Yu felt like something was
strange. This coral demon looked off. Unnatural.
However, Wu Yu could still see the Dead Souls Net on it. This
was enough for him.
Wu Yu quickly pulled out his advanced dao treasure. Holding
the 10,000 Dragons Staff in his hand, he swung it towards the
coral demon's head without hesitation.
The demon was terrified, and shrieked, "Don't kill me! Save
me! I've already fulfilled my mission. Let me go!"
These were strange words. After hearing this, Wu Yu pulled
himself back, right as he was above the coral demon's head.
However, he was too late.
He immediately realized that this was a trap. He should have
expected it. Seeing how bold he was, the Dark North people
must have been thinking of a way to deal with him.
"Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design! Eight Dark Immortals'
Descent!"
This voice shook the entire area like a clap of thunder. It came
from all around, as though there were yells from eight
different directions.
Wu Yu vaguely heard familiar voices, such as Prince You Yan
and Duan Yi’s.
When he thought about it, probably only Duan Yi and those
others would be so anxious to get rid of him.
Actually, Wu Yu was very confident in himself. Therefore, even
if he had an instant to escape, he chose not to take the
opportunity.
However, the others still continued to create spirit designs,
and Wu Yu understood that they were preparing to take him
down.
This was definitely a fairly elite spirit design!
In this instant, eight shadowy giants appeared all around Wu
Yu with a wave of seawater. The giants were armored, and cut
imposing figures with their menacing frost energy. They had
the bearing of immortals. When they appeared, all eight fixed
their eyes on Wu Yu, pinning him down with pressure. These
had to be the Eight Dark Immortals they had spoken of!
These Eight Dark Immortals all had ultimate mystiques. They
were not easy to deal with, and they surrounded Wu Yu,
creating spirit designs.
After they appeared, a violet formation appeared in a huge
area, with Wu Yu at the center. It spun wildly, fusing with the
Eight Dark Immortals. Wu Yu could feel a terrifying pressure
assailing him from all sides. It was an extreme frost that not
only chilled one's flesh, but also the Primordial Spirit.
Especially the Primordial Spirit - it felt like it had been
completely shut down. This was an alarming reaction. Wu Yu
felt that its effect was to sever the connection between
Primordial Spirit and body, isolating the two.
Such a spirit design was not just effective on Wu Yu. Even
against experts at the Dao Querying Realm, it would have
locked them down completely. Wu Yu was currently facing the
brunt of this power, and he could clearly feel how fearsome
this spirit design was.
Any ordinary person would have been a sitting duck here. And
they were not going to just let this duck sit around.
After severing the Primordial Spirit from the physical body, it
was sometimes difficult to command one's physical body.
However, Wu Yu had been prepared. As soon as he sensed
danger, he summoned the Somersault Cloud into his own
body. Therefore, although the spirit design could cripple a
majority of Wu Yu's mobility, it could not fully lock down Wu
Yu's mystique. He had confidence that he could escape this
spirit design and leave.
That was enough.
However, Wu Yu was still astonished that such a high-level
spirit design would be employed against him. "This spirit
design, even for their level, would take a few months to set
up. Did they stop killing demons for these few months, all to
create this trap for me?"
That seemed rather implausible.
In that case, Wu Yu guessed that they had used something
else.
Seeing that Wu Yu was successfully trapped in the Dark North
Soul Lock Spirit Design, a person appeared above the heads of
each of the Eight Dark Immortals. They had emerged from
within the bodies of the Eight Dark Immortals, and Wu Yu had
seen them all before many times. Their leader was Prince You
Yan.
By right, this person was Wu Yu's better, but he had treated
Wu Yu cruelly, and had now even set this trap against him. Wu
Yu did not feel a single iota of gratitude towards him.
Seeing that their plan had worked, all eight smiled.
"Is this huge pomp and fuss meant to be an invitation for me
to join your squad?" Wu Yu was completely calm, even
mocking them. His ability to speak was testament that this
spirit design had not fully locked down his Primordial Spirit.
However, his body could not move, let alone employ dao
techniques and mystiques. Luckily, the Somersault Cloud had
already been used, and Wu Yu was simply lingering to hear
what they had planned.
"Your time to die has arrived. Stop being such a hard mouth."
Duan Yi laughed coldly.
"Die? Impossible. This is the Dark North Battle for Supremacy,
and there are 800,000 people watching. You wouldn't kill
someone outright, would you?" Wu Yu asked, puzzled.
"This is the Dark North Kingdom. Against you, nothing is
impossible," Prince You Yan retorted.
"Why? Can we not have a fair fight?" Wu Yu said.
They all roared with laughter.
"The more Dead Souls Nets you obtain, the more you
humiliate the Dark North Kingdom. If you enter the top 10, the
face of our entire Dark North Kingdom will be thrown away.
Do you think that we won't kill you? Whether you live or die
depends on whether you have enough control to ignite your
Darkness Breaching Talisman."
If he lit the Darkness Breaching Talisman now, they might not
have the chance to kill Wu Yu.
"So that's how it is." To them, Wu Yu seemed unafraid in the
face of death, and would probably not cry until he was in the
coffin.

"Duan Yi, I'll give you the opportunity to kill him," Prince You
Yan said.
So he had given the chance to Duan Yi.
Firstly, he knew that Duan Yi wanted to kill Wu Yu the most.
Secondly, Duan Yi was the newest person in his group, and
killing was a necessary part of proving his loyalty.
Thirdly, it was a sticky situation to kill someone here. He,
Prince You Yan, wanted to enter the top 10. If he were
disqualified, then he would have to give up his chance. Duan
Yi had no hope of reaching the top 10, so it would not be a
problem for him to be disqualified. After he left, Prince You
Yan could still protect him.
His provincial lord father would be all too ecstatic to earn the
favor of Prince You Yan.
"I thank the Prince!" Duan Yi was moved. He curtsied to the
Prince You Yan and then quickly made his way over to Wu Yu,
appearing before him. A long, black spear had already
appeared in his hand - his advanced dao treasure.
"Both you and I have advanced dao treasures. Today, I will use
mine to send you to the next world - a fitting end for you.
Princess You Xue is mine. Trying to snatch her from me was
the biggest error of your life. Enjoy your last few moments. Wu
Yu, see you in the next life."
This was a rare opportunity, and he naturally wanted to decide
this battle quickly. To him, even the slightest hesitation would
be unforgivable.
"Sorry to disappoint you. Your spirit design might be very
valuable, but it's far from being able to kill me. Sorry to have
wasted your treasure." Wu Yu had basically confirmed their
reason and motivations through prolonging the exchange. He
would definitely be more careful in the future.
That they would even expend such a spirit design on him
showed him the strength of their resolve.
At this time, Duan Yi sent his long, black spear lancing
punishingly towards Wu Yu's brow. He would have no more
sleepless nights over him.
But all he faced was Wu Yu's grinning face. At the last moment,
he used his Primordial Spirit's last vestige of control over his
body to flip. To Prince You Yan's fury, Duan Yi's spear
connected with nothing but air!
Wu Yu had escaped again.
It was as Wu Yu had said. Their Dark North Soul Lock Spirit
Design had been wasted. To Prince You Yan, preparing the
Dark North Soul Lock Spirit Design could have been equivalent
to taking down a Dao Querying martial cultivator.
That was the level it was on.
All eight looked at each other.
"Prince, forgive me. I was inept." Duan Yi hurriedly knelt in
fear, his face pale. At the same time, his eyes welled with fury.
Again, he was foiled by Wu Yu.
Prince You Yan knew that this had nothing much to do with
Duan Yi. He had underestimated Wu Yu.
"It was I who made the mistake this time." Prince You Yan's
expression was hateful as he looked at the spot where Wu Yu
had vanished. His killing intent flooded him again. What to do?
The others were already dismayed. Even after bringing out
such a valuable spirit design, they had not been able to
capture Wu Yu. There was no other way.
Duan Yi thought about it. "I think it might be very difficult to
force him out of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy now. He
is too slippery, and has a myriad of ways to flee. But I have an
idea that will make it difficult for him to continue accruing
Dead Souls Nets at such speed."
"Go on."
"Isn't he using the clones to lure demons? Then we will just
spread the word of this, and let all the demons know that this
is a trap. Then there will be no more demons to take his bait."
If they spoke loudly, their voices would travel far, so making
this announcement would not be difficult.
Chapter 765: Underhanded Schemes
Even the Dark North Soul Lock Talisman could not trap Wu Yu.
The 800,000 people outside were shocked at this level of skill
in escaping. It was not the first time.
Even many of the Dao Querying cultivators had nothing to say.
They looked at each other solemnly and finally understood
why Wu Yu dared to be so high-profile. Obviously, he was very
confident in his escaping skills, and until now, he had not made
a mistake yet.
He had even escaped from the Dark North Soul Lock Talisman.
There were indeed not many ways left to deal with Wu Yu,
unless those top martial cultivators dared to risk their
reputation and attack him. If that were the case, a good
justification would be required because Qu Yin from the Yan
Dragon Army was still here.
Now the people from the Yan Huang Ancient Country were
watching with great interest. While the Dark North Tribe had
been embarrassed, the people from Yan Huang Ancient
Country were gaining face and were all smiles. They had
decided to try their best to bring Wu Yu back to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country after the Dark North Battle for Supremacy.
Even if they failed this time, after they returned and reported
to the Yan Huang Royal family, a high ranking person would
personally bring Wu Yu back from the Dark North Kingdom. In
reality, Qu Yin had already reported Wu Yu's performance in
the Dark North Battle for Supremacy to many senior officials
in the Yan Huang Ancient Country. After listening to the
detailed description, they should make a decision.
As the most powerful country in the Yan Huang Ancient
Region, Qu Yin was still confident.
At this moment, he also updated them on the ploy with the
Dark North Soul Lock Talisman. He believed that this would
force those really powerful officials to make a decision. After
all, he was a genius from the Yan Huang Ancient Country, but
if this continued, then he would really become part of the Dark
North Tribe. At least that was what Qu Yin thought.
The Dark North Battle for Supremacy had yet to end and Wu
Yu was the biggest dark horse. It was a major suspense on
whether he could rush into the top 10 and maintain a position
there.
In the Ghost Sea Prison, Wu Yu refocused his energy into
hunting demons and competing with others in the speed of
getting Dead Souls Net.
He was fast in the first few days, but something strange
happened. Wu Yu released more and more doppelgangers,
but there were fewer demons falling into his trap. Too few had
fallenprey.
"Could it be that the demons in this Ghost Sea Prison have all
been killed? That's impossible, there are plenty of demons in
every Dark North Battle for Supremacy. 10 years is enough
time to capture many prisoners of war."
That was not possible, so Wu Yu also asked Princess You Xue.
Princess You Xue also said that such a situation had never
happened before. There were always many demons remaining
in the Ghost Sea Prison. They hid for a chance to be free again.
Besides, the rate of demon slaying remained the same for
other participants. "I just asked around. I know the reason."
Princess You Xue found him in less than a day and approached
Wu Yu.
"What's the reason?"
"It's one of my royal elder brothers, the one who ambushed
you previously. He told many people to spread the message of
your doppelganger trap to the demons. They are talking about
it everywhere. The demons can hear about it easily."
When they were spreading the news, they probably avoided
Wu Yu's doppelgangers as well. If not, Wu Yu would have
heard of it.
"I think that most of the demons left in the Ghost Sea Prison
know about it. Since that is the case, then it will be difficult for
your doppelganger trap to be effective anymore. The demons
know that your doppelgangers do not have Darkness
Breaching Talismans and that your real body is strong. When
they see you, they probably get scared."
Princess You Xue was upset. "These people, they just like to
use underhanded schemes."
If that was the case, then Wu Yu would have a little headache.
His biggest advantage was gone now.
"This is happening because you have attracted too much
attention and offended many people. It is because you are not
from the Dark North Tribe that everyone is targeting you. After
the Dark North Battle for Supremacy, you better stay beside
me. If not, I will be worried people will ambush you." Her eyes
were filled with worry and concern. It was unexpected that she
had become so gentle.
Wu Yu shook his head and said, "My dao is to move forward
courageously. Now my goal for this Dark North Battle for
Supremacy is to get the first place, so I cannot hide. I cannot
help if I attract attention. After all, this is a risk. Whatever
happens after this ends is secondary. My most important
concern right now is how to kill more demons." If he could get
first place, that would indeed be a different story.
Princess You Xue should understand too.
"Yes, if you get first place and receive the Dark North Royal
Obelisk, then your name will spread throughout the entire
Jambu Realm. Everyone will know that the Dark North Battle
for Supremacy of the Dark North Kingdom was won by a
person from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. Your name will
be well known, and after that, both the young people and
elders of the Dark North Tribe will find it difficult to attack you
for fear of you losing your life here. Because firstly, the Yan
Huang Ancient Country will definitely not be happy with that,
and secondly, the whole Jambu Realm will treat the Dark
North Kingdom like a joke. You just need to win and then, no
matter how you perform, you will be safe."
That would be true if he became famous. Everyone who
wanted to attack him would be worried about being
embarrassed if they were exposed. This was especially true for
the people of the Dark North Tribe. People would think that
they had secretly attacked him because they could not openly
beat Wu Yu.
"If you cannot get the championship, at least get into the top
10. The higher your rank, the safer you'll be."
He had no one he could depend on now. His only supporter
was Princess You Xue. Sometimes, you had to compete with
others for resources and could not just hide cowardly. Hence,
he had to try to protect himself in this world. Actually, he was
definitely a genius when just talking about battle power.
Top geniuses were the talents that every kingdom in the
Jambu Realm would want to attract. Wu Yu was now trying to
get famous. The more famous he became, everyone would be
wary of attacking him openly. After all, everyone would
recognize that he was talented.
"So, I still have to find a way to get the championship. Please
let me know when there are any changes."
Princess You Xue could not help much in this situation, so Wu
Yu let her continue with her own fight. After all, she also
wanted to become more powerful.

For the following 20-plus days, Wu Yu was trapped. He tried

many ways, but the rate of his Dead Souls Net collection had
fallen too much. In one month, he only hunted down a bit over
30 Dead Souls Net.
While his rate fell, others maintained their original rate of
collection. Now he should have fallen in ranking and was not
even in the top 50. There were only two months left. It looked
like he had no more hope of making it into the top 10, and if
he followed this trend, when the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy ended, he would probably fall out of the top 100
or even the top 200.
At that moment, no one would notice even if he was buried
directly.
Near the end, everyone was catching up at a furious rate; even
the demons were fighting back fiercely. All of them fought for
more Darkness Breaching Talismans. From the Shadower,
battles were ongoing everywhere, only Wu Yu's side seemed
cold and quiet. He did not have much of an advantage in battle
power. There were many geniuses at the ninth or tenth tiers
of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. They were
much more efficient than him.
The fame he had gotten from the last month was now almost
gone. He had faded out of the audience's attention, and this
was quite dangerous for Wu Yu because everyone already
knew that he had received a high level legacy but not fame.
In the remaining two months, if he still could not find a way to
break through, then he would meet with plenty of trouble
when he got out.
At this moment, the happiest people were Prince You Yan and
his group. While they had failed to kill Wu Yu, they had
managed to deal a heavy blow to him.
Now the 800,000 people were mostly mocking when they
talked about Wu Yu. Wu Yu's hunting method using his
doppelgangers was interesting, but the rules also allowed
others to reveal his method. This was, after all, a competition.
Now the demons were basically all ignoring Wu Yu's
doppelgangers. After all, they knew it was a trap.
While hope was minimal, Wu Yu was still calm. He was thinking
of ways with Ming Long. Even though their rate of finding
demons was slower, he did not give up.
"Are you scared? Previously, I was outstanding too. That's why
I ended up like this," Ming Long said to him.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I think that that's the way of
our dao. Even if we die, we will die with no regrets. We'll not
cower to survive. What we want is the great dao heart."
Perhaps it was because he had encountered the things that
the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal had left behind in the Taigu
Immortal Path by chance that Wu Yu had made huge
improvements in his understanding of dao. It was also the
reason why he could remain calm under such adverse
circumstances and not regret his decisions.
It was too early to say that it was over when there were still
two months left.
He had a feeling that this was not the end. At this moment, the
Full Moon of Nanshan appeared before him and grinned at
him. While handsome, Wu Yu felt that his expression looked
obscene.
"Looks like you've encountered a problem. You look unhappy.
Were you bullied? Do you need your boss to protect you?"
"Don't come here just to be a busybody and waste my time."
"Oh, is that so? But, coincidentally, I actually have the ability
to let you get the championship. It's really incredible."
The Full Moon of Nanshan smiled and looked at him. He waved
his fan of beauties lightly.
Chapter 766: The Method to Find Demons
Wu Yu had no doubt that the Full Moon of Nanshan was a
mysterious existence. At least he was the most talented
demon Wu Yu had ever met. He was also an existence similar
to him.
If things went smoothly and he still possessed the possibility
of reaching immortalhood after many years, then his Marshal
Tian Peng immortal's legacy might indeed be stronger than the
Great Sage, Heaven's Equal’s.
Since the other party said that and seemed to want to help
him, Wu Yu asked sincerely, "What is the method to help me
get first place?"
The Full Moon of Nanshan grinned and said, "This is my
personal ability, I have a method to find demons. Within the
range of this entire Ghost Sea Prison, I know very clearly where
each demon is. Even the demons with the best hiding spots,
their demonic auras cannot escape my nose."
Indeed, this wild boar's nose was memorable.
Wu Yu believed with all his heart that he who received Marshal
Tian Peng's immortal's legacy could possess such ability.
"Heh heh, to put it bluntly, I will lead you to all these idiots
from the Dead Souls Sea Region and let you get their Dead
Souls Nets."
To Wu Yu, this was indeed a chance to overturn his
circumstances. Hearing these words, his impression of the Full
Moon of Nanshan became better. At least he really could be
of great help to him. As for whether he was speaking the truth,
all they had to do was try and he would know. If he really
possessed this terrifying demon-searching ability, then his
new rate of collection might even surpass that with his
method of doppelgangers luring demons.
"What do you want in exchange?" Wu Yu was really simple and
direct at such times. There had to be other goals for the other
party's sudden appearance.
Full Moon of Nanshan smiled and said, "For this, it's the same
as before: be my follower and follow my orders in the future.
Deal or no deal?"
"This is non-negotiable. I can treat you as a friend, yet you
want to treat me as your follower. Is that appropriate?"
Actually, Wu Yu could tell that he was probably only joking.
It was as he had expected.
The Full Moon of Nanshan became serious and said, "Forget it,
I'm going to stop teasing you. We are not familiar, so I'm going
to be direct. I need you to use your doppelgangers to pick
suitable martial cultivators for me. I want to get more
Darkness Breaching Talismans to hit 30. I still need a few."
This was a cooperation. His goal was to leave, but there were
actually very few martial cultivators around. There were only
1,000, and they were scattered, so it was actually quite
difficult to encounter them. Besides, demons could not be
near each other. Once they were close, their Dead Souls Nets
would activate.
With the help of Wu Yu's doppelgangers, he could search
faster too. Of course, with the Full Moon of Nanshan's ability,
Wu Yu estimated that it would be easy for him to exceed 30
after two months.
He could agree to this request, but he felt that the Full Moon
of Nanshan would have some other request.
Indeed, the other party continued, "This is the first condition,
and it should be easy for you. There's a second condition."
"Please go on." The other party was offering great help to him.
Wu Yu wanted a fair exchange and did not want to take
advantage of the other party. Since they were helping each
other, it was alright if the difficulty level was about the same.
The Full Moon of Nanshan said, "I also know that you're aiming
for the championship. The prize is one part. You want to use
fame to protect yourself - that is the other part. I received the
same thing as you, so I know what you are worried about. If I
help you get the championship and achieve your goal, then I
can also leave the Ghost Sea Prison. However, I'm not a demon
from the Dead Souls Sea Region. If I go to the Dead Souls Sea
Region, I'll be in greater danger. So I must stay in the Dark
North Kingdom, and if I want to stay in the Dark North
Kingdom, I need a justified and clean identity. At least so I can
appear openly. So I hope that when I get out, I can follow you
and you'll protect me. In the Yan Huang Ancient Region, it is
actually very common to have a demon friend. After all, I'm
not a demon from the Dead Souls Sea Region, so I don't have
any great hatred against the Dark North Kingdom."
This explanation sounded so much more normal. Actually, Wu
Yu could understand even if he did not explain, because the
two of them faced the same problem. Wu Yu needed Princess
You Xue to guarantee that he could have a justified and clean
identity. And the Full Moon of Nanshan was a demon, so his
status here would only be lower. He also needed someone to
provide him with an identity. At least when he strolled along
the streets, everyone would recognize that he was Wu Yu's
friend or servant and would not be scared or attack him. After
all, Wu Yu was famous, and if he followed Wu Yu, then at least
when he was in the open and people wanted to attack him,
they would still have to consider Wu Yu.
He was in the same situation as Wu Yu.
Hence, Wu Yu actually understood him.
While he also had outstanding talent, he was a demon, so it
would be even more difficult for him to be at the Dark North
Kingdom. He wanted to be free and stop hiding at such a dark
place, living a frightful life. He also wanted an identity.
Hearing his story, he really felt like they were brothers in
trouble. No doubt, the other party seemed much more sincere
now in Wu Yu's eyes.
"Just these two requests. Whether you tell others I'm your
friend or slave, I don't care. Of course, you cannot order me. If
you agree, then we can help each other. If not, I have no other
ideas. At least I feel that we suffer the same fate. I'm in a
sadder state than you. I practically grew up in the Ghost Sea
Prison."
The other party had said so much to give Wu Yu a chance to
consider. Wu Yu made up his mind quickly. He was very direct
and immediately said, "No problem, deal."
"That's really quick. You really are compendious, a man of few
words. I have only had this one boring old guy to talk to for a
long time and have endured until I got sick. Now that I’ve
finally met a person I can talk to, I'm more noisy. But I'm very
handsome, so it doesn't matter even if I'm noisy." The fan in
the Full Moon of Nanshan's hand suddenly changed. It
transformed into a mirror. He looked at the mirror and fiddled
with his hair.
"Handsome!" he concluded emotionally.
"Oh yes, do you have anyone hiding inside your Ruyi Jingu
Bang? Does it have a previous master?" The Full Moon of
Nanshan suddenly thought of this.
"There is." Wu Yu nodded.
"Is he also a terrible old man, and very stinky? Sprouting
nonsense the whole day? Like a stupid pig?" the Full Moon of
Nanshan asked curiously.
"No, she's a very pretty little girl." Wu Yu was forced to say
that by Ming Long. Actually, he felt that Ming Long was an old,
demonic hag....
"Shit! That's actually my type! God, this is really unfair. I'm so
handsome and you gave me a stupid old man. He's so ugly and
you give him a little girl. This is illogical. No, I want to switch
with you!"
The Full Moon of Nanshan was so angry that he was about to
burst into tears.

"Don't be stupid. Now that we have reached an agreement,

let's not waste any more time. Let me see your talents in
searching for demons. I hope you're not just boasting." The
Full Moon of Nanshan had not proved his ability yet, so
everything was tentative. He also did not know how talented
the Full Moon of Nanshan party was.
"Looks like you still don't trust me. Then let's watch and see.
But to prevent the audience from noticing, I'll look for you in
three days. At that time, I may hide myself and point you to a
direction. In the remaining time, I will probably stop appearing
before you."
After all, when they were conversing, the audience could still
see. Now Wu Yu was facing trouble, and if he suddenly rose up
again after their meeting, perhaps others would know that
they had cooperated. The cooperation between martial
cultivators and demons had never happened before in the
Dark North Battle for Supremacy.
Wu Yu was not anxious for those three days.
As for following Wu Yu when this ended, this was something
to be discussed when they got out. Now the two of them had
similar goals. One wanted to go out, while the other wanted
the championship.
Wu Yu continued to look for demons. After three days, the Full
Moon of Nanshan appeared as expected. Of course, he hid and
spoke to Wu Yu in secret to guide him towards some direction.
And what followed was shocking. The truth was verified. A
boar's nose was really sharp. This might be connected to the
legacy of Marshal Tian Peng too.
The Full Moon of Nanshan could lock on to a demon even
when they were several li[1] apart. He could basically confirm
their abilities upon smelling their demonic aura. He directly
ignored those above the ninth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm and brought Wu Yu straight to those
below the eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm. Those who hid well, no matter how far they had
hidden, could not escape the Full Moon of Nanshan's radar.
Under his guidance, Wu Yu very quickly found the first demon.
From the moment he started to point the way to the time he
found the demon, only less than an hour passed.
And this was a sixth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm demon, someone who Wu Yu could easily defeat and
retrieve their Dead Souls Net.
"Let's go, the next one." This time, he took more than an hour,
but he found the demon he had smelled.
With his help, Wu Yu got the second Dead Souls Net. At this
rate, Wu Yu realized that it would be no problem for him to
get the championship, even though he had lagged behind a lot
in the previous month.
The Full Moon of Nanshan was indeed amazing.
"You don't have to idolize me. I've been so talented since
young. Other people always gaze at me in awe. I'm so used to
it and will no longer feel proud of that." The Full Moon of
Nanshan laughed proudly.
Wu Yu restrained himself for this day but still got 10 Dead
Souls Nets. With this speed, he could get 300 in a month and
600 in two months. He previously had about 300 and would
probably end up with about 800. At that time, the person in
first place would probably only have about 600.
After one day, Wu Yu knew that as long as no issues arose, he
should be able to get the championship of the Dark North
Battle of Supremacy.
He really should thank the Full Moon of Nanshan.
"We are just getting what we need. This little thing is so small
to me. You have no need to marry me out of gratitude." Every
time something was said, the Full Moon of Nanshan would be
especially proud.
Chapter 767: Three Princes, Two Princesses
It could be said that in the Ghost Sea Prison, not a single
demon could escape the nose of the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Meeting him here was Wu Yu's luck.
With his help, Wu Yu hunted down demons, and also helped
him lock down the martial cultivators' positions.
Both continued to progress swiftly.
Especially Wu Yu. His progress was astronomical. In a day, he
would gain at least 10 Dead Souls Nets.
On a good day, he would even get more than 20. This was a
bad month's worth.
This game-changing turn was something that the remaining
martial cultivators in the Ghost Sea Prison were oblivious to.
Because such a method was not at all obvious. Therefore, it
had been going on for a month, and virtually no one had
caught on.
But Wu Yu's sudden increase was clearly watched by the
800,000 people outside.
He was almost constantly fighting demons.
Wu Yu, with the aid of the Full Moon of Nanshan, had rocketed
up within a month.
As for those outside, they were completely dumbfounded in
this month's time.
Their surprise and shock only continued to grow.
Most unbearably, according to their calculations, Wu Yu's
Dead Souls Nets already put him in third place.
And he was not far behind the first two.
With his speed, he was expected to take first place in the
remaining few months.
Many were unable to stand for this.
But the beauty of it all was that Qu Yin was here. Besides, the
Dark North Battle for Supremacy guaranteed absolute
fairness, so they could not interfere.
Therefore, even though they could not stand it, they could not
do anything about it.
Right now, Wu Yu was the center of discussion.
Wu Yu himself could guess just how his performance had
taken them by storm!
Everyone was restless and glowering, flushed with their
simmering anger, as though they had all been slapped.
"Right now, the question is, why would he explode forth in
these last two months? He was muddling around up until the
fourth month and then exploded in the fifth month. What has
happened in the middle? Could he have improved himself with
another terrifying mystique?"
"Maybe so. Maybe he already had a method to hunt demons,
which is why he worked so hard to join the Dark North Battle
for Supremacy. But he's very clever. That's why he used other
methods at the start, and only used this one towards the end!"
"All of this is but speculation. Who can know the truth? The
thing is, if he gets first place in the end, it will be a joke. The
entire Dark North Kingdom will be taken as a huge joke!"
"That's right. In the future, all the youths of the Dark North
Kingdom will hang their heads in shame. The Dark North Battle
for Supremacy is such a major event, but an outsider was
crowned champion, and with everyone watching as well."
"What are we to do? The rule of the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy is that no one can interfere once it has begun. Even
the Dark North royal family cannot interfere, let alone us."
"Right now, no one besides the participants inside can stop
Wu Yu. I think that at this time, they will find a way to inform
the contenders that Wu Yu has surpassed them."
"That's the only way. I hope that the princes and princesses
can bring glory to the Dark North Kingdom."
"Did you see the faces of the Yan Huang Tribe people? Wu Yu
isn't even part of the Yan Huang Tribe, but they're treating him
as one of theirs because they see that he's performing well.
Applying gold powder to their faces."
"Yeah, odd, isn't it? As if Wu Yu's strength has anything to do
with the Yan Huang Ancient Country!"
Right now, the Yan Huang Ancient Country contingent was
smiling smugly, which was irritating.
If not for the fact that the Yan Huang Tribe was difficult to deal
with, they would probably have been chased away already.
Besides the Yan Huang Tribe, the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy had also invited a few martial cultivators from the
major superpowers in the Yan Huang Ancient Region.
Therefore, those outside could do nothing about Wu Yu. They
could only let it proceed.
And even if Wu Yu won, they could not do anything.
If it were just the Dark North Tribe present, they might be able
to think of some way to get Wu Yu out.
After all, it would be historically unprecedented for an
outsider to win the Dark North Battle for Supremacy.
Right now, even You Shang himself was troubled. He had not
expected that Wu Yu would reach this level.
What he was worried about was the change to Wu Yu that had
occurred four months in. It seemed like nothing had
happened, but out of the blue, no demon could escape his
view.
The only explanation was that he had learned something -
some awesome dao technique or mystique, perhaps.
The wave that Wu Yu had stirred up was far from over.
Each demon he killed and each Dead Souls Net he obtained
was watched with bated breath and a rollercoaster of
emotions. Pale faces and people trembling with rage that
made them want to leave. All of these emotions echoed
throughout the crowd.
Wu Yu could guess that all of this was happening, but he could
not stop now.
Princess You Xue roughly knew how many Dead Souls Nets the
top 10 geniuses had.
He estimated that he was in the top five, and perhaps even top
three. He could also guarantee that he would be in first place
in 10 days' time.
And in the remaining 20 days' time, he would cement his
position.
After all, everyone would have a last burst of effort towards
the end.
As for the demons, they would also rush out like mad. It would
be a slug fest towards the end.
If Wu Yu could gain enough Dead Souls Nets before then to
take a comfortable lead, then he would not be afraid of being
overtaken when the number of demons increased sharply.
In the last few days, he had met a few participants who were
10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators. They
had not been the least bit concerned about Wu Yu.
Wu Yu knew that not only did they not know who he was, and
how many Dead Souls Nets he had, but they also did not know
how much he had grown in this time.
This was a good thing. Best if it could last a while longer.
For example, if those princes and princesses knew that he had
surged to the top three, they would lose their minds.
"After all, this is the territory of the Dark North Tribe. I wager
that in a few days, they'll all know that you've caught up. At
that time, those royal types will definitely cause trouble for
you," the Full Moon of Nanshan said.
Wu Yu had thought of this as well.

This was inevitable. He simply had to be more careful from

now on. The Dark North Soul Lock Talisman from before was
still fresh in his memory.
And if there were more measures taken to shut him down,
they would only get stronger.
After all, the number of jealous enemies would definitely have
increased by now.
Anyone of the Dark North Tribe would probably know the
humiliation they would face if Wu Yu were allowed to win.
Wu Yu's guess was right on the money. After another five days,
his Dead Souls Net count had already broken 700, and he
reckoned that he was in first place by now. There must have
been an uproar outside.
He felt that he should be a little more careful. After all, the
atmosphere seemed a little off these few days. Everyone was
looking at him strangely. He felt that news of the astonishing
rate that he was reaping Dead Souls Nets must have gotten
out.
The remaining contenders should all know.
Those who were not confident in dealing with Wu Yu could not
act. Those who were not confident in catching Wu Yu could
not act either.
All that remained was the strongest few in this cohort of
participants.
Wu Yu's guess was not far off.
In some corner of the Ghost Sea Prison, more than 20 people
had gathered. All of them were 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivators.
Their Dead Souls Nets count was basically all in the top 30,
which meant that they were the strongest people in the Dark
North Kingdom under 100 years of age.
All of them were very near the Dao Querying Three Disasters
Realm.
The Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm was the most crucial
stage in reaching immortalhood. Wave after wave of people
entered this stage. Although there were many who died in this
realm, the dream of becoming immortal urged generation
after generation of martial cultivators to aspire to it.
They would be the elites of the Dark North Kingdom in another
100 years.
All of the young men and women gathered together were of
the finest bearing. All of them were very serious. Without a
doubt, their target was Wu Yu.
From the grim expressions all around, they were very unhappy
with the current situation.
Prince You Yan was among them.
His face was the blackest, because he had wounded Wu Yu
seriously in the midst of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy.
Even he could not understand - how had Wu Yu shrugged it
off?
He had suddenly received the news in the past few days, and
had been boggled by it. He had forgotten Wu Yu in the last
month.
And now that the truth was laid out before him, he felt like he
had been slapped soundly.
He even felt a little ashamed to stand amongst them right
now.
As for Duan Yi, he was not qualified to be here.
Of the leaders here, there were three princes and two
princesses. Only Princess You Xue was not here.
Besides them, there were also a few other elite geniuses.
Their cultivation levels were roughly the same as the royalty,
only they came from slightly less eminent families.
The three princes were Prince You Yang, Prince You Yan, and
Prince You Ying.
The two princesses were Princess You Yu and Princess You
Xuan.
They were all the elder brothers and sisters of Princess You
Xue. Even the youngest had 20 years on Princess You Xue, and
already had a dao companion.
Prince You Yang was the oldest, and his words carried the most
weight among this group.
Chapter 768: Yuan Qinqiong, Jiang Shangyue
Prince You Yang was currently standing in the center position.
Everyone took the news badly, Prince You Yang himself
included.
Prince You Yang was well-proportioned, and not as burly as
Prince You Yan. He had a more imperial air about him. His
every move, and the look in his eyes, were filled with a strict
reserve. Right now, his face was much more normal than the
others, despite his bad mood. He had not let his anger slip. It
was often such people who had a deeper level to them.
Beside him was Prince You Ying. This prince was much skinnier,
more like a youth. But he had hard eyes, and a brisk roughness
to his movements. He was a born killer, and a reticent
character.
As for Princess You Yu and Princess You Xuan, they were the
elder sisters of Princess You Xuan. They were already married,
and looked similar to Princess You Xue. However, they were a
little more mature in their graces. One of them was fiery and
passionate, and the other aloof and elegant. They had
contrasting personalities.
"I think no one expected Wu Yu to undergo a transformation
in a few brief months. Right now, the number of Dead Souls
Nets he has might have already secured first place for him. The
elders have also said that right now, only we can stop him. Our
mission is to - under the caveat of not breaking the Dark North
Battle for Supremacy's rules too badly - send Wu Yu out of the
Ghosts Sea Prison in this last month," Prince You Yang said.
What he spoke of was no serious violation, and not a complete
adherence to the rules.
"Everyone knows what the consequences will be if Wu Yu ends
up in first place. The thousand of us will be done for. Right
now, the entire Dark North Kingdom is panicking. I feel that
even if we seriously break the rules, that's still better than
letting Wu Yu take first place," Prince You Yan said morosely.
"The key is that you even tried the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit
Design, and it was useless. Although we have the numbers,
everyone knows Wu Yu's ability to flee. Therefore, chasing him
out or killing him is all well and good, but more importantly,
how are we going to do it?!" Princess You Yu said with a
hateful face, arms folded.
At this time, everyone was very serious.
Prince You Yang said, "If anybody has any ideas, speak freely.
We will all work on any problems together. All of us are
members of the Dark North Tribe. Something that we must
accomplish has landed on our shoulders. No matter how
serious the rule-breaking, any idea can be raised. We can
discuss whether it can be tried."
His thoughts mirrored the thoughts of the 800,000 outside.
Having established this, everyone had more room to work
with.
However, even if they had many ideas and could use many
things similar to the Dark North Soul Lock Talisman, that had
already been tried and proven ineffective against Wu Yu.
"Let's keep thinking."
Everyone began to brainstorm and throw out their ideas.
Prince You Yang heard a few, and shook his head. "He was
actually able to even escape the Dark North Soul Lock Spirit
Design. These methods that you speak of are useless. It has to
be something that can stop him from escaping."
He was asking because he himself had no good ideas.
Right now, everyone was troubled.
Prince You Yan said, "Stop all these useless ideas. They're
completely useless. Multiple layers of ploys are also useless. If
these could have finished him, I would have finished him long
ago."
He was despairing right now, and everyone knew that he was
not one to give up easily. Which was why the mood was even
more troubled now.
"I don't believe that all of us together cannot finish him off. A
barbarian from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent." The one
who spoke now was called Gu Haochen. He was a handsome
young man with a sharp gleam in his eyes. His shine was no
less bright than that of the royalty in his company. Gu Haochen
was the son of Duke Gu, the only duke with a foreign name.
Duke Gu was quite a legend in the Dark North Kingdom. His
ability was unparalleled - he was much stronger than You
Shang and You Shi, and one of the main pillars of strength for
the Dark Sea Emperor. It was said that he had grown up with
the Dark Sea Emperor, and they called each other brothers.
Therefore, Gu Haochen's status was not that different from
royalty. In terms of ability, he had been personally groomed
by Duke Gu, and so was on their level as well. Usually, Gu
Haochen interacted with the princes and princesses. He had
another identity, which was the emperor's son-in-law.
Princess You Yu was his dao companion.
Their union was the wish of both Duke Gu and the Dark Sea
Emperor, and was one that the Dark Sea Emperor was fairly
satisfied with. After the two became dao companions, they
helped each other and progressed quickly. They were one of
the most legendary pairs in the Dark North Kingdom.
Besides Gu Haochen, there were two others whose words also
carried weight. Both were girls, and important ones at that.
One was the dao companion of Prince You Yang, the other the
dao companion of Prince You Yan.
Prince You Yang's dao companion was called Yuan Qinqiong.
Before she had joined with Prince You Yang, her name was
already well known. This was because her mentor, Yuan
Bingye, was the foremost expert outside of the Dark North
Kingdom's system. All the experts generally worked within the
kingdom, but there were also some who had no interest in
such positions. They valued freedom and chafed at
restrictions. They did not participate in the governance of the
country, and would only act when the nation was in danger.
There were quite a few such characters, and they were called
roaming cultivators. The Dark North Kingdom did not have
many roaming cultivators, and Yuan Bingye was a legend
amongst them. She was the foremost roaming cultivator of
the Dark North Kingdom, and someone near immortalhood,
just like Duke Gu. It was said that the Dark North royal family
had invited Yuan Bingye many times to take up a station of
responsibility, but she had turned them down.
However, as a gesture of respect, her only disciple, Yuan
Qinqiong, had wedded Prince You Yang. Yuan Qinqiong was a
warm and beautiful girl, petite, with a strength in her softness.
She was also a strength for Prince You Yang.
There was another, called Jiang Shangyue, who was a sharp
contrast to Yuan Qinqiong's warmth. She had an aura of
valiant formidability to her. Clad in black armor, her severe
expression and keen eyes had the image of a killer, despite her
gender. Clearly a woman who was hard to deal with.
She was actually from the Dark Sea Army, and was the most
famous dark north general in the Dark Sea Army. She was
much more famous than Duan Yi. And her birth station was
high as well.

Jiang Shangyue was the dao companion of Prince You Yan. Just
like Yuan Qinqiong, she was one of the finest girls in the Dark
North Kingdom under the age of 100. Save the Dark North
Kingdom’s princesses, they were the finest. Jiang Shangyue
was born in the north of the Dark North Kingdom, while Yuan
Qinqiong was born in the south. Therefore, they were
respectively hailed as the foremost beauties of the north and
south.
Of course, this could never be mentioned in front of the
princesses.
That these two had caught the eye of the princes meant that
they were truly outstanding, and could match the princes. This
also meant that there was a high standard for Princess You
Xue's own dao companion, because her elder siblings' dao
companions had set the bar high.
However, they were currently engaged in heated discussion,
their faces flushed as they plotted.
"That won't do. We can't hold Wu Yu at all that way. Do you
actually think that thing is stronger than the Dark North Soul
Lock Spirit Design?" Prince You Yan sneered at another.
The other person's temper flared as he retorted, "Perhaps you
did not use it correctly because you were too nervous?"
"Fuck off."
In truth, they were not afraid that their methods would violate
the rules. They did not care about that at all. But the problem
was that there was no method at all. Because the crux of the
problem was how they would hold Wu Yu in place.
"What a joke. We're having a meaningless discussion here, and
he's out there accumulating Dead Souls Nets. He might truly
be first right now. Everyone outside can see it clearly. We're
probably the fools in their eyes." Jiang Shangyue was
extremely unhappy. So many people gathered were here,
unable to deal with a barbarian from the Demon Sealing
Continent.
Finally, everyone lapsed into brooding silence.
The princes and princesses were frowning as well, looking at
each other.
"You Xue is to blame for that Wu Yu brat. If she hadn’t brought
that brat to the Dark North Kingdom and sheltered him, we
would not be dealing with such a big problem. Your sister was
always an unruly one, and this time around she's truly to
blame!" Jiang Shangyue said spitefully.
Suddenly, Yuan Qinqiong's face changed. She said softly, "This
means that if Princess You Xue cares deeply for Wu Yu, then
Wu Yu must probably also care deeply for Princess You Xue.
Perhaps there is something between the two. After all, they
are a young man and woman, and raging with hormones. A
spark on dry tinder, two people on the Taigu Immortal Path
journeying together..."
Hearing this, Prince You Yang's expression turned ugly. He
looked at his own dao companion. "You mean to use my sister
to control Wu Yu? Those outside see everything that we do,
and my little sister is also part of the royal family. Can she be
sacrificed?" Prince You Yang was unhappy.
Yuan Qinqiong was not angry. She smiled mildly. "I'm just
raising a possibility. If you're not willing, forget it. And you've
over thought it. It's just a way to attract Wu Yu, and force him
to stay. We're not sacrificing her."
At these words, Prince You Yan clapped. "This might actually
be a brainwave. Our younger sister is the key to it. Only she
can control Wu Yu in the entire Ghost Sea Prison! And we
definitely have a way to deceive Wu Yu, and yet not sacrifice
my sister. Otherwise, the royal family elders will not forgive
us, right?"
Chapter 769: A Damned Plan
When he heard these words, Prince You Yang had hit upon it
as well.
The key here was not to endanger their sister's life, but to hold
Wu Yu down.
Of course, if not for the elders' wrath and the gossip of the
entire Dark North Kingdom, he might have just sent assassins
right at him instead.
"The question now is, how do we do it?"
Gu Haochen spoke first. "Firstly, I guess that those two must
be in love. That's clear. No friendship so pure exists. But
everyone is clear that our Dark North Kingdom’s princesses
cannot marry an outsider. No one would allow it. That's the
premise. In this way, we can find a way to separate and
estrange them, and resolve that problem. If we control
Princess You Xue, and Wu Yu panics, that shows that Wu Yu
likes Princess You Xue. At that time, we have a just reason to
kick Wu Yu out."
"Seems like that's the case. If so, I know what will make Wu Yu
panic. If Princess You Xue is with someone else, he definitely
won't stay away."
At this point, Prince You Yan laughed. "What gives? We still
have to find someone to get on like wildfire with my sister. If
we can, we will definitely set Wu Yu's pants on fire."
Jiang Shangyue sneered. "You're overthinking things. To a man
in love, things are not that complicated. We simply need
someone to give sister You Xue a kiss. That will send Wu Yu
into an uncontrollable rage, fueled by the power of love."
"That's true. Would anyone like to see their love interest
kissing someone else? My sister was wrong to bring Wu Yu to
the Dark North Kingdom. She must resolve this personally. Just
one kiss with someone else - that's enough contribution, and
the whole Dark North Kingdom will forgive her."
"The key is that we must find a young and handsome guy, who
is very suitable for my sister, to do the deed before Wu Yu."
Prince You Ying nodded.
The ones who agreed to this were the elder siblings of Princess
You Xue, or her siblings-in-law. Others who heard this did not
comment. After all, any dissatisfaction that Princess You Xue
might have in the future would not affect them.
Prince You Yang took it all in and nodded. "This is the only
way."
"Firstly, bring my sister here. All of us will watch over her. Then
make her send a Message Talisman to tell Wu Yu that if he
does not come here to take her away, we will have somebody
kiss her every day. To the elders, this will not be much. To the
people of the Dark North Kingdom, this will be her way of
winning back the Dark North Kingdom's pride, and the results
will justify the deed. And to my sister, it will be penance for
having taken the wrong road. Fancying an outsider is no good.
Our Dark North Kingdom is huge, and there are so many
suitors compatible with her. This Wu Yu has a choice of death,
or leaving the Dark North Kingdom."
"I agree."
"That's it then, I concur."
"We just have to trouble Princess You Xue."
"It's not troubling her, it's trouble she found in the first place."
Agreement piped up in dribs and drabs.
Although this idea was a little despicable, it sounded
interesting. Against ordinary lovers, it was indeed very useful.
The idea of one's lover being kissed by someone else in public
every day was an unbearable thought for any man.
"Right now, the key is, who should be the lucky person? Any
nominations?" Prince You Yang looked around. As his gaze
swept across them, a few seemed enthusiastic, but they all
already had dao companions.
Prince You Yan was first to offer a suggestion. "I have a
nomination. He is the son of the Li Heavenly Provincial Lord,
and is called Duan Yi. He is at the ninth tier of the Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm despite his youth, and he has an
advanced dao treasure. Fairly decent in ability and conduct.
Before Wu Yu appeared, he was on good terms with Sister You
Xue, and she was fond of him."
Prince You Yang nodded. "I know that guy. He was born a little
low, but he’s a diligent one. This time, he gained quite a bit
from Ghost Sea Prison as well. One of the most outstanding
ones. I think he will reach the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm within a decade with ease. Talent
commensurate with his status. I think he's suitable.
Thoughts?"
Even if anyone else had an opinion, no one would dare to voice
it against these two princes. Therefore, everyone hastened to
agree, and thus the idea to capture Wu Yu was born. "Since
that's settled, then Duan Yi it will be."
"Then I will have Duan Yi come over." Prince You Yan chuckled.
This idea was mainly the brainchild of Yuan Qinqiong and Jiang
Shangyue. The others had drawn blanks. As the saying went:
women shouldn't be hard on women.
After receiving Prince You Yan's Message Talisman, Duan Yi
rushed over, and Prince You Yan personally briefed him. No
matter how composed Duan Yi usually was, he was completely
worked up over this. He could not imagine how such a great
thing had been bestowed upon him. He was overjoyed. This
had been his greatest wish recently - to be able to enter the
royal family's clique. Through this process, Wu Yu would
definitely be eliminated.
With this foundation settled, Princess You Xue might very well
consent to dao companionship with him, in order to save face.
If that happened, then what happened here would no longer
be a humiliation, but turned to her advantage instead.
Wu Yu's performance had made the entire Dark North
Kingdom too nervous.
"Alright. I will definitely do this." Duan Yi hurriedly agreed.
"You're in luck. I hear you're on bad terms with that Wu Yu as
well. Seems like you're perfect for this. When this is all settled,
you have to treat my sister well. Otherwise, we older siblings
will definitely not let you off." Prince You Yan smiled and
patted his shoulder.
"I will definitely work hard! I will definitely work hard!" Duan
Yi was ecstatic. However, he still wanted to maintain his
composure at this time. He knew what he needed to do. All he
needed was some courage. He knew that in the short term,
Princess You Xue might hate him deeply, but he did not care
how she would treat him after they became dao companions.
He only wanted the status of royalty, which would help him
scale the ranks of the Dark Sea Army. To him, that would be
the real success.
Actually, as they gathered to discuss, the audience outside had
roughly caught on, and word of Wu Yu had also spread to the
other participants.

The people of the Dark North Kingdom also felt more relieved.
Those of the Yan Huang Ancient Country looked around, and
gave wry smiles. They were all too clear about the Dark North
Tribe’s situation. If this was held in Yan Huang Ancient
Country, they would never let the Dark North Tribe win.
The matter of pride was every kingdom's greatest problem.
There was definitely some level of anticipation from the
800,000 outside towards the 20 of them.
"With a few princes and princesses spearheading this, there
shouldn't be much of a problem."
"This will also be a test for them."
"Let's watch and see. This should be interesting.” However,
while they were discussing, Wu Yu obtained many Dead Souls
Nets. Right now, he was already more than 30 nets ahead of
second place. If this continued, he would overtake the person
in second place by a huge margin, and cement his win. They
had to eliminate him quickly and then all overtake Wu Yu in
the total count. Otherwise, even if Wu Yu was forced out, his
Dead Souls Nets would still be valid. If they chased him out and
he still took the win, they would be a laughing stock.
Right now, their main target, Princess You Xue, did not even
know that she was the target of her own people.
With so many of them having Princess You Xue's Message
Talisman, a little lie soon had Princess You Xue heading over
to their location. And when she reached the rendezvous place
with Prince You Yang, over 20 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivators suddenly appeared, surrounding
her, leaving her no path to escape. This formation made
Princess You Xue realize that they were targeting her.
Why her?
She immediately knew that it had to be because of Wu Yu. She
was all too clear as to how many Dead Souls Nets Wu Yu
currently had.
However, she could not figure out their plan, and her own part
in it.
"My dear sister, we've finally found you. It's been a while.
How's the yield?" Prince You Yan said smilingly.
"I have no desire to meet you. As for my yield, I can't be
bothered to tell you either. What's the meaning of this, so
many people surrounding me? Are you going to send me out?"
After seeing them, Princess You Xue was not at all flustered.
She might have once been afraid of these elder siblings, but
now that she had developed greatly, she found it hard to
respect these people.
In the future, they would be her rivals, and Princess You Xue
did not regard herself as weaker, simply younger in cultivation
years.
"Recently, you committed a wrong. We siblings have thought
it over and decided to give you a chance to make amends,"
Prince You Yang said gallantly.
"What wrong? I have no idea what you're talking about," You
Xue said with a vexed laugh.
Gu Haochen cut in. "Still playing the fool? Because of this
wrong, the entire Dark North Kingdom has been turned upside
down by you. Must we spell it out?"
Chapter 770: The Calm before the Storm
Princess You Xue did not understand them.
She thought, “Something has all these people worked up.
Must be Wu Yu.”
This got her on edge. With a chilly smile, she said, "Could it be
that Wu Yu has put such a fright in all of you? I think it's no
secret that Wu Yu has the most Dead Souls Nets now. Is that
why everyone is panicking? The Dark North Battle for
Supremacy is supposed to be a genuine competition. There
will be winners and losers. It is very normal for you all to not
be able to take first place."
Hearing this, everyone was angry, especially her royal siblings.
This strengthened their determination to capture Princess You
Xue and deal with Wu Yu.
"Sister You Xue, it hasn't been that long since we last met. How
arrogant you've become! You were not this dull before. You
have caused the entire Dark North Capital to be humiliated,
and yet here you are, acting wise. I think that love must have
addled your brains!" Yuan Qinqiong said. Her tone was warm,
but her words were poisonous.
"What's the point in talking? She has already lost all reason, so
we must cure her. In the future, she will thank us for this. After
all, we siblings are those who truly have her best interests at
heart," Princess You Xuan said peculiarly.
"I think we're done talking too. Go!" Jiang Shangyue said.
They normally ignored their youngest sister. But because of
her, they were currently all in a sticky situation, and they were
angry.
They were also angry because Princess You Xue had recently
seen great leaps in ability, improving quickly. She had been
hailed as the most talented of the royal siblings, and now
posed a threat to them.
They would also use this opportunity to teach her a lesson.
They truly wasted no time bantering. Given their current
ability, it was a piece of cake for more than 20 10th tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators to take care of
Princess You Xue.
Prince You Yang immediately used an advanced dao treasure
to hold Princess You Xue. The name of the advanced dao
treasure was Hell of the Dark North. It was a long chain of black
iron, broken into many segments. Each link was extremely
sturdy and powerful, and densely covered in spirit design
runes. Right now, the Hell of the Dark North trussed Princess
You Xue up. Although it was not tightened, its presence alone
was enough to immobilize Princess You Xue.
Princess You Xue was unfazed. She had been to the brink of
death and back, and was on a completely different level from
them now.
They did not expect Princess You Xue to still look at them
calmly, and even taunt them. "So the finest cream of the Dark
North Kingdom’s crop cannot beat someone in a fair fight, and
must resort to such despicable methods. You even use your
own sister to threaten an outsider. Ridiculous and shameful.
The world must be laughing at us. You are the shame of the
Dark North Kingdom."
Such verbal abuse was humiliating, and only fueled their
anger. Jiang Shangyue, who was already feeling indignant,
raged at her. "You shameless wench. If not for you, we would
not be this disgraced. And still you talk back."
"Enough. Enough." After all, this was still his own sister. There
was no point in meaningless conversation. Wu Yu was the key
here.
Prince You Yang came before Princess You Xue, and said
righteously, "Whether you understand or not, still we offer
you a chance to make amends."
"Just spit out what you have plotted. Stop hedging," Princess
You Xue said bluntly.
"I'll explain." Prince You Yan himself came up. Without any
embarrassment, he laid out their entire plan to Princess You
Xue clearly.
After hearing it all, Princess You Xue was not only fearless, but
instead laughed loudly, as though she had heard an excellent
joke. Her laughter was uncontrollable, and made them even
more embarrassed. They had thought that she would cry after
hearing it.
"I thought you were fools. But this is the height of comedy. In
my mind, everyone was an important person with ability and
pride. I did not expect such a base method. You must have
been driven to desperation by your helplessness against Wu
Yu."
This was too great a humiliation, and a naked slap to all of their
faces.
Their anger only continued to build, and they could not even
speak.
They were a little uncertain as to how to deal with Princess
You Xue's fearlessness. Because they still needed Princess You
Xue to send the Message Talisman.
Yuan Qinqiong said, "There's no need to argue with her. She's
just being stubborn. It's easy to have her comply. Just get Duan
Yi here."
She shot a look at Duan Yi, bursting with excitement.
"All yours," Prince You Yang said to Duan Yi.
"Your Highness." As Prince You Yang stepped aside, Duan Yi
walked up to Princess You Xue. There was some doubt in his
eyes, but his desire not to lose got the better of him, and he
was compelled to go with this wild notion. As his inner resolve
steeled, he met the hard gaze of Princess You Xue with
conviction.
"Princess, everyone has your welfare at heart. I hope that you
can understand the good intentions of your brothers and
sisters. I, too, have your future at heart. My feelings for you
are true, and I hope you can see that. Today, if I have caused
offense, I will pay for my crimes in the future." After he said
this, he leaned forward.
"Duan Yi, if you dare to do this, from today onwards, I will
make your murder the greatest goal of my life. Don't ever
think that you will have the chance to be my dao companion.
You will forever be my enemy, and I will seek your life without
rest. One day, I will hang your head from the walls of the Dark
North Capital, and bury my indignity."
Princess You Xue spoke with great conviction, and each word
was like a dagger to Duan Yi's heart. Such words made Duan Yi
hesitate. Because he could clearly see that Princess You Xue
was no longer the person he had imagined. She had grown
stronger and more decisive.
For him, this was not good news.
An overly domineering Princess You Xue was like a porcupine.
If Duan Yi offended her today, she would not be his dao
companion simply out of shame. Rather, like she said, she
would treat him as a mortal enemy.
This was a conundrum for him.
Behind him, Prince You Yan whispered into his ear, "Don't be
intimidated. This girl is simply scaring a greenhorn like you.
After this blows over and Wu Yu is no more, she will naturally
understand. And if she doesn't, don't you still have us? What
are you afraid of?"
Duan Yi turned back. Everyone was looking at him
encouragingly. Today, he had gained the trust of so many.
They would definitely help him in the future.
At this time, the recklessness in his heart trumped the fear of
Princess You Xue. He mustered his courage anew, although he
still battled his fears as he looked into the sharp eyes of
Princess You Xue.
"Here goes," he cried, about to pucker up.

At this moment, Princess You Xue was helpless.

"Alright, I'll have him come over." Surprisingly, the stubborn
Princess You Xue changed drastically, surrendering and
deciding to use a Message Talisman to call Wu Yu.
This was a surprise. They had not expected her to cave so
easily.
"Enough." As long as Princess You Xue was willing to
cooperate, the royal siblings had no intention of letting Duan
Yi cop a chance. After all, they could not let their sister lose
out at the hands of this humble provincial lord's son.
Duan Yi's use was to force Wu Yu to remain here. The kiss was
merely a threat against Wu Yu. If You Xue complied, he was
redundant.
After all, if they handled this too badly, they would face the
repercussions from their elders after they left.
Actually, Princess You Xue had surrendered at this point
because Wu Yu had heard her thoughts while he was out
hunting. The more complicated the situation, the more
thoughts she had, and the more aware Wu Yu was of what she
was thinking. Therefore, even without saying anything, Wu Yu
already knew what was happening here.
"So many people posturing here. They must know how many
Dead Souls Nets I have. This must mean I'm in first place."
Wu Yu was in a good mood after learning this.
However, this bunch were the most elite people. Seeing them
use such a base and shameless method left Wu Yu speechless.
"I thought that I was a shameless person. To think that I found
this bunch of vulgar bastards who are even more shameless
than me." After hearing this, the Full Moon of Nanshan held
his belly and laughed.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to stand for it. Whether it was
my woman or not, I wouldn't let anybody take advantage of
anyone who has an interest in me."
The Full Moon of Nanshan would never be able to understand
the complicated relationship between Wu Yu and Princess You
Xue.
However, right now it was Princess You Xue who was having
her dignity compromised. Wu Yu knew that she did not like
Duan Yi, and at this time, he still regarded Princess You Xue as
a decent friend. Wu Yu could not possibly sit by and watch her
be humiliated.
Although Princess You Xue did not want Wu Yu in danger
because of this matter, Wu Yu could not ignore her dismay.
"Let's go. Are you coming?" Wu Yu asked the Full Moon of
Nanshan.
"Such a circus. How could I miss it? Your lover is also an elite
here. Even I would normally hide if I saw them. Today I get to
see you go all out. Why wouldn't I go? If you're done in, then
all my hard work from before would be wasted, no?"
"Then get on." He revealed the Somersault Cloud, and allowed
the Full Moon of Nanshan up. The pair sped towards Princess
You Xue's location, which had already been conveyed to them.
"You're confident in dealing with them?" the Full Moon of
Nanshan asked.
At the moment, Wu Yu was not. Most crucially, Princess You
Xue was trapped in the Hell of the Dark North. Even if there
was no threat to her, it would be difficult to break the
advanced dao treasure and spirit Princess You Xue away. And
as long as Princess You Xue was in their clutches, Wu Yu did
not have much swaying power.
Therefore, he was faced with a conundrum - perhaps the
hardest puzzle that he had faced since the start of the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy.
Chapter 771: Wipe Out Every Last One
"It's truly not easy to get first place with no problems."
Although Wu Yu had not arrived yet, he roughly knew the size
of the force facing him.
These princes, princesses, and consorts were all the strongest
amongst those under 100 years old in the Dark North
Kingdom. These young leaders of the Eight Main Armies that
could enter their circles were all 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivators, with Duan Yi being the only
exception.
"Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir." They
would only act after Wu Yu arrived. Therefore, Wu Yu had no
real need to hurry. He could think as he traveled.
"They must want to force me out of the Ghost Sea Prison. As
long as I cannot bear the humiliation they will subject Princess
You Xue to, they indeed have a way to force me out."
After thinking about it, he still had many more trump cards in
the Ghost Sea Prison that they did not know about. And when
he used them, he would have to do so in a way that the
800,000 people watching would not see them. Firstly, the
Floating Dreams Pagoda could not be used.
"Perhaps the only viable secret weapon is the Heaven
Devouring Avatar."
Different from his other clones, the Heaven Devouring Avatar
always remained near his true form. At this time, the Heaven
Devouring Avatar did not have such speed, and could only
slowly follow Wu Yu.
However, their original location was not particularly far from
Wu Yu's. Therefore, the clone would be able to catch up
before too long.
Wu Yu was prepared to have his clone wait outside. If he truly
needed to use it, it would be a super reinforcement.
"Actually, if this girl is a princess, they wouldn't go too
overboard. Just a kiss - that's the craziest thing they could do.
After all, there are so many people outside. If you could accept
it, you could completely ignore them. If you go take the bait,
their chances of getting rid of you are high. At that time, you
would throw away your first place and the Dark North Royal
Obelisk with it. That wouldn't be worth it. It's just a kiss,
hehe...." The Full Moon of Nanshan continued to crack jokes.
"Haha, I'm kidding. It's your chick. How could you let others
kiss her? If it were me, I would cut off that kid's tongue and
peepee, make him cry." The Full Moon of Nanshan was fishing
now.
Actually, those outside could already see how things were
developing. Evidently, the 20 or so of them wanted to use
Princess You Xue to counter Wu Yu, and he was already
heading over.
As for this matter, the guests from outside the kingdom would
see things differently. The Dark North Tribe people would feel
ashamed, but also compelled to pursue this course of action.
The others were basically all smiling coldly, especially the Yan
Huang Ancient Country guests.
They could not stop it, but they could spread word of the Dark
North Kingdom's ugly behavior to the world.
Therefore, at this time, the discussion quietened down.
Everyone was watching the Shadowers of Wu Yu and the 20 in
silence, seeing how it would unfold.
Finally, they saw Wu Yu stand alone in front of the 20.
Although they could not hear what was being said, but they
could feel the murderous intent even through the Shadowers.
The fact that Wu Yu had come to Princess You Xue's rescue
already surprised many. No matter how much they looked
down on Wu Yu, they still had to respect his enormous
courage at this time.
Also, after he arrived, Wu Yu did not show much respect to
them. He had quite the guts.
Indeed, Wu Yu was not only not reverent towards these elite
beings of the Dark North Kingdom, but also very angry.
For example, Princess You Xue was also a royal family
member, but they had used such a despicable method to deal
with Wu Yu, even trussing You Xue up with an advanced dao
treasure. This was shameful, and Wu Yu would not respect
such people.
Even though all 20 of them were individually stronger than
him, and near the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm.
They might even reach immortalhood in the future, and
become the future leader of the Dark North Kingdom. "This is
the one who forced us to such an extent?" After seeing Wu Yu,
many people were in disbelief. Because from his cultivation
level, no matter how you looked at it, Wu Yu was someone
who had just entered the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm.
They felt that Wu Yu was hiding his cultivation level.
Prince You Yan had seen Wu Yu before, which was why while
others were still sizing Wu Yu up, he said with a black face,
"You actually have the guts to come here. We already know of
your relationship with her. We know you fancy her. I'll cut the
crap. She has already told you our intention. We want you to
quickly tear that Darkness Breaching Talisman and get out. As
long as you do, this matter will be resolved. Of course, we also
will not hurt our dear sister."
They knew that it would be difficult to threaten Wu Yu's life,
and the best way would be to force him to use the Darkness
Breaching Talisman. As long as Wu Yu was not that famous
outside, they had many ways to arrange accidents for him.
After all, there were many Dao Querying Three Disasters
Realm cultivators who would do their bidding.
"That's right. When are you going to use your Darkness
Breaching Talisman? That's when we'll release her. If you dare
to escape, although we don't want to do this, we will be forced
to. We're really sorry for Princess You Xue. Isn't that right,
Duan Yi?" Gu Haochen said, smiling at Duan Yi.
Duan Yi had still been struggling, but now his hated rival, Wu
Yu, had arrived. He drummed up his courage and made his
decision. He knew that he could not possibly show any sign of
wavering now. Therefore, he boldly said, "Today, I might be
offending Princess You Xue, but I have no choice. I am doing it
for the pride of the Dark North Kingdom. However, if some
coward does not choose to flee, Princess You Xue will not be
subject to these indignities either, and neither will I be
troubled. Although she might eventually forgive me, she will
never forgive the coward who flees today."
They were indeed afraid that Wu Yu would leave, to have said
so much.
"Wu Yu, is your decision to leave or stay? If you decide to use
your Darkness Breaching Talisman, we guarantee that no one
will harm a hair on my sister’s head," Prince You Yang said
grandly, his emotionless eyes fixed on Wu Yu. The others were
even more direct. Wu Yu was surrounded by 20 10th tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators on all sides. They
had also pulled out their dao treasures, prepared to fight at
any moment. The moment Wu Yu showed signs of fleeing,
they would act, even if they could not guarantee success.
This bunch would stoop to anything, no matter how low. As
for their superior expressions, it did not sit well with Wu Yu at
all. He looked again at Princess You Xue. She was looking at
him apologetically. Wu Yu knew what she was thinking, her
mind filled with shame and berating herself.
She naturally did not want to be a burden to Wu Yu.
She already hated this group. Even though many of them were
from the same bloodline as she was.
Sometimes, it seemed like the royal bloodline was not that
important. There were too many instances of in-fighting
throughout history.
"Wu Yu, break your Darkness Breaching Talisman." Seeing Wu
Yu's frustrated expression, Duan Yi was celebrating inwardly.
He stood beside Princess You Xue, a cold look directed Wu Yu's
way, affecting a prepared poise. Even he would never have
dreamed that one day his words would sound so ugly. But for
his dreams, he would persist, despite Princess You Xue's dirty
expression.
Wu Yu was both discontent and angry. Furious. Such
despicable methods truly tested his bottom line.
However, he did not lose his reason. At this time, they were all
waiting for him to break his Darkness Breaching Talisman. He
bunched his hand and said, "If that's the case, then there's no
meaning to it. I know what you want. You want me to leave.
That's just the start. More, you want to kill me. You're just
afraid that I will vanish, and you can't catch me. Why not be
more direct with this? By my method, I can promise that I will
not flee, but you have to give me a fair fight, a challenge that
both parties will accept."
"Your meaning is?" Prince You Yang asked.
Wu Yu's eyes were blazing. In the direction of the weakest in
the bunch, Duan Yi. he said ringingly, "I have a life and death
enmity with this person. Since you have put him in this spot,
then why not go further and let me challenge him? If I lose, I
will break my Darkness Breaching Talisman. If I win, I take
Princess You Xue away with me."
This was the only thing that Wu Yu could think of that they
might agree to, under the circumstances. After all, they were
only worried that Wu Yu might flee.
Wu Yu's current proposal would not only make him stay, but
might even develop into a death match. That was acceptable
for Wu Yu. Would they accept it? After all, Wu Yu was also
giving them a fair and open chance. Their previous method
was too low, and would not have looked good outside.
"You dare to challenge me?" Duan Yi could not believe his
ears. A look of surprise appeared on his face. The first time he
met Wu Yu, he was much stronger. In the Alternate World, if
not for the fact that he was worried about leaving a trace, he
could have killed Wu Yu directly without luring the Dark North
Emperor Beast.
In the Dark Sea Army, he had chased Wu Yu a few times, but
Wu Yu had dodged with his speed.
Not too much time had passed, and Wu Yu was initiating a
death match with him!
The princes, princesses, and consorts all looked at each other.
Wu Yu's request was one they had not foreseen. They were a
little worried about placing such a huge burden on Duan Yi.
Chapter 772: Elysian Life Extinguisher
"You're confident?" Prince You Yan and the others were
gathered around Duan Yi. Everyone awaited his response.
"Currently, the strongest opponent that Wu Yu has faced
should be an eighth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm demon. And Duan Yi has an advanced dao treasure, and
is also a superb ninth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
cultivator. His ability is at least worth a few Wu Yus. I feel like
there's no problem. Wu Yu must be jumping the gun. His panic
shows that he is affected by his feelings for our sister," Prince
You Yan offered on behalf of Duan Yi.
Duan Yi himself answered next. His emotions had indeed been
taken for a ride, and he was under tremendous pressure. But
he very quickly converted this pressure into motivation. He
was very tense as he said, "Highnesses, seniors, I can
guarantee that I will take down this Wu Yu, or at least force his
Darkness Breaching Talisman. If all goes well, I will kill him."
He was proactively trying to resolve this issue for the princes
and princesses. If he could kill Wu Yu, then he could also
shoulder the burden and risk of the consequences on their
behalf. This was a risk, but his father would definitely feel that
this was the right decision, because ingratiating himself readily
into this circle of royalty, and gaining their favor, was the truly
bright path for his future.
"This is ingenious. Duan Yi likes You Xue, and Wu Yu also likes
Princess You Xue. If Duan Yi kills Wu Yu, this will be seen as a
love scuffle, and not as our jealousy spurring a gang up at Wu
Yu taking first place."
Such words made them judge that even if Wu Yu died, their
reputations would not suffer too badly. After all, this was a
lovers' spat.
As for Duan Yi, he was fighting on behalf of the Dark North
Tribe, and on the side of justice. Because the royal family had
never had a precedent of marrying outside the tribe before.
This was an epic of love and hate.
The only worry was that Duan Yi could not beat Wu Yu. As long
as Princess You Xue was their captive, Wu Yu was trapped.
It was not that they did not have confidence in Duan Yi, but
simply that the stakes were too high.
However, these were the most favorable conditions. After
conferring for some time, they decided to do it.
Eventually, Prince You Yang declared to Wu Yu, "Since you
have made such a request, we cannot help but agree to it. We
will agree to that. If you lose, immediately break your
Darkness Breaching Talisman and leave. If you win, you can
take her away."
Hearing this, Wu Yu's face was expressionless, but his eyes
blazed with a desire to fight.
"Strange. You know that Duan Yi is much stronger than you.
And still you dare to fight?" Even Ming Long could not
understand it.
Wu Yu was indeed still Duan Yi's inferior.
"There's no other way. And when a challenge comes my way,
I cannot back down, even if I lose. Another crucial point:
although Duan Yi is stronger than I am, and it will be difficult
to defeat him, it'll be difficult for him to defeat me as well. As
long as there's no clear victor, I can continue to delay him. That
works too."
Wu Yu was playing with words here.
They had simply said fight, but had not said how long the
battle would last. As long as Wu Yu continued to hold out, he
could simply delay for 20 days or so with no problem.
At that time, the Dark North Battle for Supremacy would be
over, and he would naturally take first place. This would not
violate their agreement.
However, his intention was to fully duke it out with Duan Yi.
That, too, was a test of his cultivation limits. To play for time
was his back up plan, if he established that there was no
chance of winning. Or if he was forced to the brink.
"Not bad. But I wager that if you only play for time, they will
intervene. I don't know if they'll keep their promise then."
Truly, Wu Yu had to consider if they were people of their word.
He looked at them, then said soberly, "Since we have agreed,
then no matter who violates the agreement must say, I, so-
and-so, am a despicable, dishonorable wretch. What do you
all think?"
Wu Yu was afraid that they would go back on their word.
At this time, he wanted them to make a guarantee. Everyone
here valued their ego. Everyone would at least pause to
consider before they violated the contract.
At least he felt that his taking first place should be no great
hardship for the Dark North Kingdom. After all, he had won it
fairly. They roared with laughter at his words.
Yuan Qinqiong said, "No less than we expected from a
barbarian. Our status is different from yours. Naturally, we
keep our word. We will not go back on what we say."
Wu Yu obviously did not believe their inborn arrogance. He
asked, "I'm asking if you dare to make such an agreement."
Prince You Yang cut in. "What's there not to dare? Cut the
crap. Duan Yi, you're up. Don't you dare disappoint us. Or your
future will look bleak."
Duan Yi knew the pressure on him, but he was already
extremely fired up. He could not wait, and gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry. I will have his head today."
Saying thus, he sped towards Wu Yu, and the others moved to
surround Wu Yu and Duan Yi from all sides.
Princess You Xue was still being restrained by her elder sibling.
It had already been agreed upon. The fight between the two
exploded in an instant. The scene of Wu Yu facing tremendous
pressure to save her in the face of all these elite beings, with
an impassive face and heroic manner - just the sight of this
alone was very moving. Therefore, Princess You Xue had been
worried, but right now she had faith in Wu Yu's ability to
create miracles. Right now, she simply waited with intense
anticipation, and an enigmatic smile appeared on her face -
something that no one else would understand.
Seeing her calm, Wu Yu also treated this fight as a final
challenge to himself. If he could overcome this hurdle, he
would have reached a new level, creating a miracle in the
Jambu Realm.

Duan Yi was like a snarling predator before him. He was not

one given to bloviation. His eyes told all. As he neared Wu Yu,
his own advanced dao treasure was already out. A long, black
spear in his palm, and its power was not all inferior to the
Otherworldly Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff.
The full name of this advanced dao treasure was said to be the
Elysian Life Extinguisher. It was also an ancient advanced dao
treasure, with an illustrious history. Duan Yi had obtained it in
some ancient ruins, and it was the basis for his sudden rise.
The advanced dao treasure was deadly, with hundreds of
thousands of spirit designs. All activated at the same time,
they could turn an opponent's essence to ash. Amongst them
were highly destructive offensive spirit designs. Once
activated, they could level armies.
Duan Yi had the power of a ninth tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivator, and his Violet Kingdom Primordial
Energy was a natural pressure against Wu Yu. One's Violet
Kingdom Primordial Energy was truly the fundamental basis of
inner power.
Spiritual power was a martial cultivator's innate strength.
Average martial cultivators would not have Wu Yu's terrifying
physical power.
Even with such a punishing obstacle, Wu Yu was not cowed.
As Duan Yi prepared to kill him, Wu Yu was doing the same.
Right now, he had just mastered the Otherworldly Infinite
10,000 Dragons Staff. In his hands, this advanced dao treasure
could reach its full potential, and was the equal of the Elysian
Life Extinguisher. A clash of titans between the two.
On this basis, Wu Yu was going to unleash his strength. Firstly,
he used the Immortal Ape transformation. Next, he used the
Unshackled Doppelganger!
This time, Wu Yu's Unshackled Doppelganger was used to its
full effect, shocking everyone. Not just the 20 or so present,
even the 800,000 people outside were shocked. From the
many Shadowers, they finally understood the extent of Wu
Yu's doppelgangers.
10,000 doppelgangers!
The 10,000 doppelgangers surrounded the 20 or so people.
They were truly too insignificant a number, and his 10,000
clones surrounded them completely.
"This is madness. Everyone, split up!" They could not clearly
see how many clones Wu Yu had.
These people squeezed their way out of Wu Yu's
doppelgangers. From this distance, it was hard to see what
was going on with the battle. All they saw were Wu Yus.
As for Duan Yi, he was like a streak of black in the water,
wielding the Elysian Life Extinguisher.
Duan Yi was unsettled at this time as well. Because what he
saw was unlimited Wu Yus. He could not identify which was
Wu Yu's real body.
Actually, the Unshackled Doppelganger was one of Wu Yu's
most terrifying powers till date.
"Damn me. This mystique is much better than mine. What the
hell is this, that is even more formidable than my Marshal Tian
Peng's legacy?" Seeing Wu Yu's 10,000 clones, even the Full
Moon of Nanshan was flabbergasted. He, too, had been
surrounded by Wu Yu's clones, which were all over him.
No wonder Wu Yu dared to challenge Duan Yi.
"How can this Wu Yu have so many clones!?" A huge stir had
started outside!
Many of the 800,000 were standing at their seats, riveted,
staring at the Shadowers, all of which showed Wu Yu after Wu
Yu.
In other words, they saw a crowd of golden apes. Each was
savage and brutal, filled with the lust of battle. They all
wielded all kinds of dao treasures and immortal treasures.
In their midst, the others looked at Duan Yi's Shadower. He
looked a little pitiful. However, after they got over the shock,
they knew that impressions did not represent fighting power.
Wu Yu's clones were not especially strong.
Chapter 773: Heavenly Battle Demon
It seemed like the initiative brought an advantage.
While Duan Yi was still reeling from the number of clones, Wu
Yu made the first move!
Firstly, the Blood Weeping World Technique!
The 10,000 clones, along with himself, all employed the dao
technique of the Demon Dao Sect!
10,000 golden apes bared their throats, releasing shrill
screeches that called forth the Blood Weeping World. All of
the golden monkeys targeted Duan Yi at the same time, their
voices rising as one.
Wu Yu's real body was right in front of Duan Yi, who was
battered by the barrage of sound. Such a dao technique could
only be described as epic.
No matter how confident Duan Yi was, no matter how strong
his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy, or how high his
cultivation level, he was completely drowned in the Blood
Weeping World.
This world, born of life blood, swallowed Duan Yi in an instant.
Wave after wave of sound crashed against Duan Yi's eardrums,
permeating his Sea of Knowledge and riddling his Primordial
Spirit.
Ss, ss!
Not just Duan Yi, but the 20 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivators outside could only continue to
back away, alarmed. They were not even the target of Wu Yu's
attack, but bystanders.
This move had intimidated them. They had been supremely
confident, but now Wu Yu had inspired anxiety in their hearts.
If this matter was bungled, they would be in trouble.
However, they had also underestimated Duan Yi. This youth
had carried towering ambition from a tender age, and he was
also harsh on himself. As the Blood Weeping World Technique
swept over him, he still unleashed a new mystique while
resisting it!
"Heavenly Battle Demon's Possession!" From within the
mystique, Duan Yi's being changed. His body suddenly
enlarged, and he was a five zhang giant in no time. The giant
was completely black, and its flesh was encased in thick,
sturdy, black scale armor. Even its head was no exception.
There was a huge horn on its brow that extended to the sky,
and its limbs were arrayed with sharp claws. His eyes turned a
feral red - he had turned into a demon born for battle!
This was the mystique of the Duan family! It was said that the
Heavenly Battle Demon was an extremely ancient Spirit of the
Universe. It possessed the bloodline of a Spirit of the Universe.
Using his mystique, Duan Yi had transformed directly into a
Heavenly Battle Demon! After changing, regardless of his
strength or defenses, he had suddenly become much more
powerful. His physical strength was suddenly capable of giving
Wu Yu a run for his money, while the Elysian Life Extinguisher
in his hand also expanded considerably!
"ROAR!" His opponent bellowed thunderously, as though
trying to out-shout the shrill cacophony of apes!
In truth, this was the first time that Wu Yu had faced such
resistance when using the Blood Weeping World Technique.
And also the first time that he had 10,000 clones in support.
This was a sonic battle!
Keen and powerful reverberations clashed. Of course, Wu Yu's
Blood Weeping World Technique was a little stronger, but the
devastating damage that he wanted to deal seemed like it
would not connect. After transforming into the Heavenly
Battle Demon, Duan Yi was only minimally affected. Even
though his body was not fully alert, his savage ferocity still
surged forth. After fending off Wu Yu's Blood Weeping World
Technique, he whirled the Elysian Life Extinguisher and
charged into Wu Yu's clones! A mass slaughter. Everywhere
the Elysian Life Extinguisher was thrust, dozens of Wu Yu's
clones fell!
"Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique!" As the Blood
Weeping World Technique could no longer threaten his
opponent, Wu Yu switched tactics!
The Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique had all the clones
concentrate the power of their dao techniques. Wu Yu was at
the core of the clones! He used the Lawful Embodiment of
Heaven and Earth to maximize his strength. He, too, turned
into a giant. Although he was still a size smaller than the
Heavenly Battle Demon, he could at least stand up to him.
Especially with so many clones using the Holy Elephant Hell-
Shocking Technique at the same time, all the dao treasures,
immortal treasures, and Wu Yu's own advanced dao treasure
were pointed at Duan Yi. 10,000 Golden Holy Elephants
materialized in this sea, a majestic, thunderous stampede that
headed for Duan Yi! This was the real power of the Holy
Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique. This offensive ability
rampaged forth, the Holy Elephants shaking the ground
beneath their feet!
The Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique amazed everyone
at the extent of Wu Yu's abilities. Wu Yu had time and again
surpassed everyone's expectations. Even the Full Moon of
Nanshan was exclaiming in admiration.
But Duan Yi was a real piece of work as well. Although he
cringed and groveled before royalty, that was simply a matter
of status. He was not much weaker than them.
"Elysian Life Extinguishing Pattern!" As he felt the lethality of
Wu Yu's Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique even in his
Heavenly Battle Demon form, he immediately triggered a
spirit design on his advanced dao treasure, causing a cascade
of activating spirit designs. A huge spirit design encased Duan
Yi, a complex and threatening formation. The runes were as
keen as sword qi, and swirled around him. One could clearly
see countless lines of shining runes come together to form the
word "life" within this spirit design!
The ingenuity of this advanced dao treasure was embodied in
this word. The Elysian power contained within it was the
power to send one to the next world! Lethal power!
Within the Elysian Life Extinguishing Pattern, the advanced
dao treasure in Duan Yi's hand was an immovable mountain.
As Wu Yu's Holy Elephant Hell-Shocking Technique trampled
over the gloomy Ghost Sea Prison, the black and golden dao
techniques clashed. Wu Yu's 10,000 clones descended on their
golden elephants, charging into the spirit design!
The chiaroscuro of black and gold culminated in an earth-
shaking eruption! Huge waves reduced everything within 10 li
of the center into powder!
This intense clash had already far surpassed the eighth tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm level. This was
reasonable for Duan Yi, but it was hard to believe for Wu Yu.
And everyone wanted to see - was the battle decided or not?
Wu Yu's clones were also caught up in the maelstrom of
power, and it looked like a good portion of them had died. This
was a rather significant loss for Wu Yu.
Actually, the tide of battle was very easily seen. But even so,
the battle was not over, and the two commenced an even
more intense clash. Wu Yu's remaining clones were currently
all dispersed, maintaining their distance from Duan Yi. His real
body was concealed amongst them. Wu Yu now faced a
difficult issue.
Which was: through the heated clash, he had realized that he
could not take Duan Yi down through battle. Impossible.
While he hesitated, Duan Yi did not. He immediately
unleashed his second mystique.

"Hades' Shadow!"
One could clearly see a shadow rise from behind his Heavenly
Battle Demon. It looked like a body double of the Heavenly
Battle Demon, except it was completely black, and only as
substantial as a shadow.
Wu Yu could clearly sense its power, because this shadow
quickly concealed itself in the gloom, disappearing without a
trace like the Full Moon of Nanshan. Wu Yu found this
insidious - it was hard to place the shadow, unless he used his
new mystique.
When the shadow disappeared, Wu Yu sensed the danger!
"World of the Golden Eye!"
This was not the best place for this mystique to shine, but Wu
Yu had no choice. He could only use such a method to deal
with Hades' Shadow!
Wu Yu's fiery eyes blazed hot, the World of the Golden Eye
blistering forth from his eyes. It devoured the sea region
around them, surrounding Wu Yu and Duan Yi in a flood of
flames that burned hot. Only then did Wu Yu locate Hades'
Shadow.
However, this double of his moved very quickly, and could also
melt back into the darkness. It flitted here and there and was
hard to pin down. It was difficult for the World of the Golden
Eye to affect such a shadow. Even with the World of the
Golden Eye present, Hades' Shadow still posed a very real
threat.
"Wu Yu, I know that your reputation is big. You have many
mystiques and dao techniques. They're pretty to look at but
not effective. You're full of yourself, and lying to yourself. In
this battle, and all future battles, I am and will be the victor.
Therefore, you must meet your death today. To me, making
you leave is far from enough."
Duan Yi was relentless. He would thoroughly eradicate this
opponent. Currently, Wu Yu was a rock in his path, and he
would pay any price to fulfill his ambition.
This would also show Princess You Xue who the strongest was,
and who would have the last laugh.
Duan Yi again leapt for the counterattack.
Wu Yu was also thinking. What should he do?
Should he begin to evade and play for time, holding out for 20
days, or should he resist and struggle, and fight with all he
had?
From the start, he had decided to play for time, but now that
the battle had started, he could not help himself. He did not
wish to stop at all. Neither did he want to back down from a
battle with Duan Yi. Right now, all he wanted to do was defeat
his opponent and take the win.
As Duan Yi came rolling up in his Heavenly Battle Demon form,
he unleashed deadly power to suppress Wu Yu. His
unwillingness to lose in battle and unwillingness to flee came
gushing forth, like lava from a volcano.
This was dao. No backing down.
Wu Yu thought that it was time to reveal him. After all, one
day, he would stand before them all.
He was himself after all. The Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast!
Chapter 774: Heavens Blasting Seal
Wu Yu had thought about how to use the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
Actually the only thing that he could not use was the devouring
ability of the Heaven Devouring Avatar; its battle ability wasn’t
restricted.
For instance, Duan Yi also had Hades' Shadow. This shadow
could transform and had a certain power, especially when it
hid in the darkness and struck suddenly. This could be a fatal
strike.
If Wu Yu had not used the World of the Golden Eye to lock
onto its position, then Hades' Shadow would have already
attacked him.
In the previous battle, he had exhibited the power of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar. It was just that he was not very
familiar in controlling the Heaven Devouring Avatar yet and
could not display its power fully. However, Wu Yu knew that
such a body could possibly become the new Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord. Of course, he was referring to the ability.
The Heaven Devouring Evil Lord had brought disaster to life
and obviously could not control his own desire to devour. Wu
Yu did not want to become like that.
Luckily, his true body was able to restrain these insidious
thoughts. This was actually a good thing because at the very
least, he would not lose himself.
In the beginning of this battle, he intended to escape and drag
the fight out. However, when the battle reached this point, he
realized that the distance between him and Duan Yi was not
as insurmountable as he had imagined, and the dao in his
heart guided him. It made it difficult for him to follow his
original plan.
The thing that Wu Yu wanted to do most right now was defeat
Duan Yi. He had to defeat him directly!
He still had thousands of doppelgangers surrounding him.
When his Heaven Devouring Avatar entered this group, it was
actually difficult to spot it because the Heaven Devouring
Avatar, while different from other doppelgangers, was only
different in its white hair and red eyes.
Unknowingly, the Heaven Devouring Avatar had already
appeared near Wu Yu's real body. It was just that no one had
noticed this avatar yet.
Now everyone was focused on Duan Yi's grand move, which
looked as though it was going to crush Wu Yu.
Obviously, in comparison, Duan Yi's aura was towering and
fiercer than Wu Yu's.
Now Duan Yi was imposing and filled with killing intent!
Perhaps to prove himself to Princess You Xue, he used all his
strength. His third mystique landed shockingly!
"Heavens Blasting Seal!"
One could only see him wielding the Elysian Life Extinguisher,
using it as a paintbrush, and surging Violet Kingdom Primordial
Energy as the ink. He quickly drew a huge pitch black seal in
the air of the Ghost Sea Prison. That was the Heavens Blasting
Seal!
This Heavens Blasting Seal was filled with a horrifying
explosive power, and now the entire seal was shuddering.
When it was vibrating, the sea surrounding it, the endless
seawater, was also vibrating. It was as though it was shaking
out of fear of the descent of this horrifying power!
In comparison, Wu Yu now looked helpless. After he had
defended against two mystique attacks from the opponent, he
was already at the end of his rope.
There was even a hint of panic, depression, cowardice, and
fear in his eyes.
Not only Duan Yi saw that. The surrounding 20 plus people also
saw it clearly. The 800,000 people outside saw it clearly too!
Wu Yu could not do anything if they thought that.
They could not wait for Wu Yu to leave the Ghost Sea Prison.
They also felt that Duan Yi was quite strong, and many seniors
even started to praise Duan Yi. At least he could exhibit
extraordinary killing ability in battle compared to the average
ninth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivator.
"I will send you to heaven!" Duan Yi let out a low roar. The
Elysian Life Extinguisher pushed forward and the Heavens
Blasting Seal that it had created instantly swept towards Wu
Yu. Everywhere the Heavens Blasting Seal passed, the
seawater exploded like glass, forming countless fragments.
Actually, those who could really understand what they were
witnessing knew that it was Qian Kun space being devastated,
as though the heavens were splitting apart!
Where Wu Yu stood, most of his doppelgangers were within
the range of the Heavens Blasting Seal. This mystique looked
simple, but its true strength was very terrifying. It was much
stronger than his previous mystiques!
In the blink of an eye, it looked like Wu Yu was in danger. At
this moment, even the Full Moon of Nanshan did not know
what he could do. The only ones who believed in him were
Ming Long and Princess You Xue.
This was a critical moment.
Life and death was in this instant.
Duan Yi had pushed all the power of his advanced dao treasure
into this mystique as well.
The destructive power now was caused by these different
powers added together. People could not help but smile when
the heavens broke.
"This troublesome matter is finally resolved," Prince You Yan
thought in his heart.
Out of the other princes and princesses, other than Princess
You Xue, he had met Wu Yu the earliest. Hence, he knew about
the terrifying part of Wu Yu very clearly. Because he had
improved so quickly within this period of time, it felt as though
no one could stop him.
He told Duan Yi that he had to grasp the chance to kill Wu Yu.
Now it looked like the chance of success was high.
It was all in this instant.
He watched as the Heavens Blasting Seal was about to engulf
Wu Yu and his doppelgangers. And during the process, his
Hades' Shadow was also attacking from the shadows. It had
found Wu Yu's real body and was looking at him with a cold,
dark killing intent.
The 800,000 outside held their breath and stretched out their
necks in anticipation.
"Kill him!" It was too infuriatingly humiliating. Many people
could not resist chanting this phrase.
Hu!
He could see that the Heavens Blasting Seal was about to
swallow Wu Yu. At this instant, a white-haired, red-eyed Wu
Yu appeared in front of all the Wu Yus and stretched out his
arms. He blocked the path of the Heavens Blasting Seal's
advance!

This white-haired, red-eyed Wu Yu had a demonic aura. It was

totally different from the original Wu Yu. This avatar left a
deep impression on everyone. It attracted everyone's
attention just by appearing.
But in the next instant, its body immediately scattered, turning
into endless black fog. That black fog formed into a gigantic
black vortex and spun crazily. It blocked the Heavens Blasting
Seal.
This weird yet huge black vortex seemed to have appeared out
of nowhere!
And in the next instant, something even more unbelievable
happened - the huge power of Duan Yi's Heavens Blasting Seal
rushed into this black vortex. Then what people saw was the
Heavens Blasting Seal being devoured by this black vortex, and
when it entered the black vortex, it did not pass through to
destroy Wu Yu's real body!
It was like it had disappeared into thin air. Of course, now that
the black vortex had devoured the destructive Heavens
Blasting Seal, its speed of rotation suddenly decreased, and
within a short period of time,it stopped rotating. And it was
obvious that the power of the Heavens Blasting Seal still
remained in this black vortex. One could see that the space in
the black vortex was shattering. It was as though the black
vortex could not handle this huge amount of power and was
about to break into pieces!
At this crucial juncture, the speed of the black vortex had
reduced to zero, and it was on the verge of breaking when it
actually started spinning in the reverse direction. And the
speed of its spin increased exponentially!
In the next moment, something incredible happened, and this
made everyone's eyes widen and their faces pale.
Those outside stood up again from their chairs and watched in
shock.
Because what they saw was that when the black vortex had
spun in the reverse direction at the highest speed, it actually
vomited the Heavens Blasting Seal out. However, this time,
the Heavens Blasting Seal had changed its direction and its
contents were changed by that black vortex. Obviously, from
Duan Yi's panicked expression, people could tell that he had
lost control of the Heavens Blasting Seal. He wanted the
Heavens Blasting Seal to destroy, but it was going to bite its
master's hand instead!
"What's going on?" Prince You Yan stared wide-eyed at his
incredible scene. He looked at the others because he thought
that he had seen wrongly. However, from everyone's
expressions, this was reality.
"One of Wu Yu's doppelgangers turned into a black vortex and
devoured Duan Yi's mystique and then returned it so that it is
now attacking Duan Yi!"
Many outside did not understand what was happening, but
after they heard this explanation, they knew that they had
guessed correctly. That was the truth.
But they did not have the time to figure out why. They
watched as Duan Yi's face filled with panic, depression, and
disbelief. His body was exposed to the attack of the Heavens
Blasting Seal, and the Heavens Blasting Seal was definitely out
of his control because even though he tried many times, while
the power remained, its master had changed!
After this amazing turn of events, the suspense was now on
whether Duan Yi would perish to his own mystique!
Besides, many people could see that after the Heavens
Blasting Seal, Wu Yu did not rest. The advanced dao treasure
in his hands, the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff,
instantly transformed into golden sand. This golden sand
formed a giant golden dragon and was now heading towards
Duan Yi after the Heavens Blasting Seal. It roared and
devoured as it rushed forth. The sharp, golden sand let out
ear-piercing sounds of friction. It was hard to hear!
With this double blow, even with the Heavenly Battle Demon's
Possession, Duan Yi would definitely be unable to survive!
"That's impossible!" Everyone could clearly see Duan Yi
screaming unwillingly as his eyes widened and turned
bloodshot!
In this crucial instant, his Hades' Shadow blocked the Heavens
Blasting Seal and gave him a chance to escape!
Boom!
Hades' Shadow immediately shattered into pieces and
exploded. At least half of the power of the Heavens Blasting
Seal was used on this doppelganger!
His Hades' Shadow was different from Wu Yu's doppelgangers.
Wu Yu's doppelgangers could be reborn continuously, but his
Hades' Shadow, once destroyed, would remain destroyed!
But this was not the end. Wu Yu had this one chance, and he
would definitely make sure that Duan Yi would never again
have the qualifications to be rude to him.
Chapter 775: Returned
This was an ability that the Heaven Devouring Avatar
possessed, recently uncovered by Wu Yu. This was also the
first time he had used it. Even though the process was risky
and dangerous, it ultimately lined up with Wu Yu's
imagination.
This Heaven Devouring Avatar was a giant treasure that was
waiting for him to uncover.
Wu Yu named this ability 'Return'. While the name sounded
simple, its effect was nothing simple.
As long as it was within the tolerance limits of the Heaven
Devouring Avatar, Wu Yu could devour many mystiques and
dao techniques, change them into his own attack, and return
them to his opponent. The opponent's killer move would
become his best attack.
This Immortality Art had probably not appeared in the Yan
Huang Ancient Region since ancient times.
As for the limits of Heaven Devouring Avatar? Actually, Duan
Yi's attack today was practically at the limit.
There was a certain degree of luck involved in returning the
Heavens Blasting Seal to Duan Yi. If the power were increased
by just a little, then it was possible that the Heaven Devouring
Avatar would break, but it would still survive. It was just that
it would probably lose a portion of its ability, which would
weaken the Heaven Devouring Avatar. Then it would need to
devour again to be strong.
The range of abilities of the Heaven Devouring Avatar was
quite impressive. He weakened when injured and
strengthened when devouring.
Return was the most terrifying ability that Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar possessed now!
Thanks to Return, after the Heavens Blasting Seal swallowed
Duan Yi's Hellish Demonic Shadow Doppelgangers, it also
engulfed Duan Yi very quickly. In this short period of time,
Duan Yi was unable to escape far. However, because the
Heavens Blasting Seal's power was reduced, it did not cause
enough damage to kill him immediately.
Even so, Duan Yi was heavily injured. His blood spewed
everywhere and the most obvious result was that the
Heavenly Battle Demon's Possession mystique on him had
directly been dissolved. At this instant, he was covered in
blood and his face was deathly pale. He looked even more
horrifying now!
But at this moment, Wu Yu did not give him a chance. His
Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design transformed into
golden sand and directly engulfed Duan Yi and locked him
within the Golden Millstone. There were countless sharp sand
grains in the Millstone, which coursed towards Duan Yi crazily
and tore his flesh apart. Now Duan Yi was not only defeated,
but faced the danger of death!
But Wu Yu could not kill him yet because they were not
allowed to kill other participants in the Ghost Sea Prison. The
other party could do that, but if Wu Yu did that, he would be
expelled from the Ghost Sea Prison. Then it was not worth it.
"I...." Duan Yi had sunk entirely into a struggle between life
and death.
Desperation, fear, pain, sadness, and even crying. These were
all displayed on his face. It was probably the lowest point of
his life now. He had never been so defeated before in his
entire life. He thought that this would be the peak of his
lifetime, that was why there was such a huge gap between
expectation and reality. Such a gap was enough to destroy his
everything and made him so disheartened. He did not want to
see anyone and even felt like dying. He could not imagine how
the group of 20 high born youths outside would see him. After
all, he had promised results. He could not imagine how the
800,000 people outside would see him, see his father. His
performance had totally smeared the name of the Li Heavenly
Province.
Perhaps only death could let him escape from the pain now.
Wu Yu did not let him die. He only used the Infinite Eternal
Sand Reincarnation Design to trap the other party.
After succeeding, Wu Yu let his Heaven Devouring Avatar hide
among his doppelgangers. It would be best if he could hide in
a position where no Shadower could spot him. He only needed
him to be far away from other people.
His thousands of doppelgangers had taken up a large amount
of space and others could not near him. Hence, the people
outside could not see his Heaven Devouring Avatar now.
He had perfectly finished off his opponent!
What Wu Yu had done was enough to shock the entire Dark
North Kingdom!
This time, he was on a whole new level.
Compared to when he had just arrived at the Dark North
Kingdom, he now possessed more and stronger moves.
At this moment, because of Wu Yu, the 800,000 people
outside were arguing nonstop. Duan Yi was defeated, and if
they went according to the agreement, the plan of this group
of 20 plus people had probably failed.
Some were depressed, some were happy. Only those people
from the Yan Huang Ancient Country were happy.
"Actually, I thought that Wu Yu was really done for this time. I
still wanted him to pressure them a little more to save the
situation, but this was unexpected. Really unexpected." Qu Yin
was filled with wonder.
Beside him, all the other people from the Yan Huang Ancient
Country basically had the same expression, except for Qu
Fengyu, who was still looking on coldly.
"I saw what happened. That should be a type of Immortality
Art. It was used by an avatar. It looks like Wu Yu's
doppelgangers have more than one type of ability. He not only
has so many doppelgangers, but an avatar that is outstanding,
or could even possess incredible abilities. Amongst all his
abilities, the ability of this avatar is really unique!" Qu Yin was
full of praises for Wu Yu now.
"I think the moment has come where I need to borrow the
power of our Yan Huang Tribe to forcibly bring Wu Yu back."
Qu Yin said in a deep voice. When he said this, he had actually
already sent a Message Talisman in the direction of the Yan
Huang Ancient Country because he knew that it would be very
difficult for him to take Wu Yu away alone.
He did this in secret.
Wu Yu had exhibited a talent, will, and a future that surpassed
those of many geniuses in the Yan Huang Ancient Region
during the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. They did not
know Wu Yu's specific age of martial cultivation, but if they
knew he had only trained for about 10 years, they would
definitely go crazy about snatching him.
As for this question, You Shang and Prince You Shi were also
discussing anxiously.
Zhou Jing and the others had dark expressions and asked
Ancestor Yang, "How should we handle this Wu Yu? This child
has exhibited too many moves and we cannot avoid handling
him just because of You Xue's protection. Should we be trying
to turn him into a member of the Dark North Kingdom or
destroy him here?"
It would be very difficult for them to send Wu Yu to other
powers after the moves and mysterious mystiques and dao
techniques that he had exhibited.
Ancestor Yang probably pondered a lot on that.
After watching, he said, "He is indeed a genius that shocks the
world. We should continue watching before we determine
how to deal with him specifically. At least because of You Xue,
he will not do anything to the Dark North Kingdom. What we
need to consider is whether or not to plunder his potential or
to train him. There is another problem, and that is to handle
the people from the Yan Huang Ancient Country. They
definitely want to bring Wu Yu back with them."

There were about 20 days left, so they had time to consider

before coming to a decision. After all, this was the Dark North
Kingdom's territory, so they had the home field advantage.
They still did not know how they would handle him, but at
least they would not let him leave with the people from the
Yan Huang Ancient Country after claiming the championship.
Actually, the fight in the Ghost Sea Prison was far from over.
Now Wu Yu had Duan Yi's life in his hands. Faced with over 20
10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm geniuses, he
actually managed to withstand their pressure alone.
Comparatively, he did not seem any weaker. This was the
stance of the victorious!
Opposite him, only Princess You Xue smiled. It was as though
this was all within her expectations. She now had blind
confidence in Wu Yu.
"I've defeated Duan Yi. According to the agreement, your
highnesses, shouldn't you release Princess You Xue now? After
all, she is a princess. There are so many people watching
outside. If she remains like this, it will look like a joke." His last
gaze landed on Prince You Yang. The Hell of the Dark North
that was holding Princess You Xue was his advanced dao
treasure.
To release or not?
Perhaps they had not thought of such a situation at all. They
had not expected Duan Yi to be defeated at all.
They were feeling very awkward. They, of course, were
unwilling to let Wu Yu leave just like that. However, they had
boasted before and had even made an agreement between
themselves and Wu Yu. They could not just admit that they
were beneath him.
In an instant, their expressions changed and they looked at
each other. Obviously, this was a difficult choice for them. In
summary, they were simply not convinced of their defeat!
"Shouldn't you release her? Perhaps you are intending to
announce to the world that you are all underhanded low
lifes?" Looking at their faces now, Wu Yu knew that they could
not admit defeat, and at this moment, Duan Yi was still in his
hands.
Except at this moment, no one cared about Duan Yi's life.
Of them, Prince You Yang's facial expression changed the
most.
"Wait a moment."
Their group of 20-plus people were in no hurry to release
Princess You Xue but gathered together to discuss in secret.
Of them, Prince You Yan was the most angered. "Fuck it, that
damned Duan Yi, so confident just now. Now he's just like a
dead dog! I've wasted my trust in him. When we get out, I will
kill him!"
"Forget about Duan Yi for now.Wu Yu's last move was
unexpected for all of us. The problem now is whether to watch
as he escapes again. There's only about 20 days left, and if we
do not expel him using You Xue, there's practically no chance
to beat him!"
Gu Haochen said in surprise, "Perhaps everyone is thinking
about going against the agreement?"
Prince You Yan said, "If yes, so what? Why should we uphold
any moral principles with an outsider? The face of the entire
Dark North Kingdom is almost gone. Now, however, we can
suppress him, so we'll suppress him!" After he spoke, no one
else seemed to object.
They wanted someone to take the lead and betray the
agreement. Perhaps now the only option they had left was
abandon all face.
Obviously, it was not possible for them to release Princess You
Xue now. Wu Yu knew the result just by looking at their
expressions. He realized that he had overestimated the moral
principles of these people.
"Allow me." This time, Prince You Yan looked at Wu Yu with
danger gleaming in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of a
way to handle Wu Yu.
Chapter 776: Reverse Scale
Wu Yu could only engage in a standoff with them.
Under the watchful eyes of 800,000 people, Prince You Yan ran
to Prince You Yang. The two princes discussed secretly. They
looked confident. What happened next surprised Wu Yu.
Prince You Yang actually released Princess You Xue.
That pitch black giant snake-like Hell of the Dark North slowly
loosened and freed Princess You Xue.
This was out of everyone's expectations - even Princess You
Xue did not expect this. After the initial surprise, she
immediately distanced herself from her elder brothers and
sisters. Instead, she stood beside Wu Yu.
She felt much safer after standing beside Wu Yu. After all, she
also did not want to be a burden on Wu Yu.
"What's going on?" Wu Yu asked her in a low voice. He
originally thought that they would have to go through more
trouble, but in the end, Prince You Yan acted like he had
suddenly given up.
"I'm also not sure what he is planning," Princess You Xue said,
still in a state of shock. However she was a little happy too.
After all, this was the first time Wu Yu had, in front of so many
people, ignored the difficulties and danger and risked his
championship to save her from these people.
Duan Yi, who was proud like a peacock before, was now
trapped by Wu Yu's Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design.
He was suffering a fate worse than death.
This was definitely a shocking turn of events!
In this turn, Princess You Xue was very touched and pleasantly
surprised. She became more convinced of the decision she had
made in her heart.
But Wu Yu knew that this was too good to be true.
Perhaps the bigger problem was hidden in Prince You Yan's
cold smile now.
Now they still surrounded Wu Yu and his doppelgangers.
A few of the princes and princesses appeared before Wu Yu.
They now knew which one was Wu Yu's real body.
Prince You Yan said, "We have honored our agreement to
release You Xue when you defeated Duan Yi. But we still want
to remind you that the princess of our Dark North Tribe will
never have any relationship with an outsider. If you continue
to contact each other, neither of you will meet with a good
end after exiting."
Wu Yu said, "Your highnesses are worrying too much. Wu Yu
knows what your highnesses are referring to. I can guarantee
that your highnesses have no need to worry about that at all."
While Princess You Xue was not willing to say such things,
because she did have such intentions, she knew what
character she needed to play now. Hence, she said, "Older
brothers and sisters, you have humiliated me by doing this.
After the Dark North Battle for Supremacy ends, you have to
give me an explanation. At the very least, I demand a sincere
apology. As for the problem that you all are referring to, I'm
not afraid, because I did not do anything wrong. I do not need
your worry. If you all have any other things to say, just be
straightforward and spit it out!"
No one would believe that they would admit defeat so easily.
If Prince You Yan had nothing planned, they would definitely
not release Princess You Xue.
Indeed.
Prince You Yan stared at Wu Yu darkly and said, emphasizing
each word, "Wu Yu, you should know that we did not want to
have to do this. We just want to prevent you from entering the
top 10. As long as you exit, then we will not bother you at all.
Now we have made our choice for you. From today onwards,
you can choose not to use the Darkness Breaching Talisman
and exit, but we are forbidding you from taking any Dead Souls
Nets."
He was making it sound like they had relaxed their demands,
but the result was actually the same. They wanted Wu Yu to
give up on getting first place. No matter what, Wu Yu would
not do that.
"What if I can't do that?" If the other party could make such
demands, then he definitely had something else that he could
threaten Wu Yu with. Previously, they had used Duan Yi and
Princess You Xue to threaten Wu Yu. Now Duan Yi was
defeated, yet he had released Princess You Xue without
hesitation. He had to have something that he could better use
to threaten Wu Yu.
And it was that that gave them the confidence. Now everyone
was smiling in a high and mighty manner, as though they
already had Wu Yu.
Prince You Yan approached him and said coldly, "If you can't
do that? What will we do? Wu Yu, don't you know? Honor is
very important to us. Your entrance into the top 10 is a
humiliation to us.
"Since you've humiliated us so ruthlessly, why should we be
polite to you? Of course, we will retaliate against you in any
way that we can. Who gave you the courage to embarrass us?"
Prince You Yan continued
"So think about it. You are from the tiny Demon Sealing
Continent. We all know how weak the Demon Sealing
Continent is. We also know that you have family and friends at
the Demon Sealing Continent. There are many people there
that you care about. We are the princes of the Dark North
Kingdom. We just have to send someone to the Demon Sealing
Continent and we can find all your friends and family, your
brethren, and everyone connected to you. No matter where
they run to, or hide, we, the Dark North Tribe, can capture
them and torture them in front of you.
"But this is not our fault, because the one who caused their
fate was you, who humiliated us first. You embarrassed us. We
cannot withstand such humiliation, so we will take revenge on
you. If they really meet with an unfortunate end, then the
blame is on you. You are the cause of their deaths, including
the family you loved the most. Actually, this is not a good
choice, don't you think?"
Prince You Yan said so much in one go. He wore a smile as he
spoke; he was determined and confident in his idea. It looked
like he was impressed with his own intelligence.
Actually, this was a method that he had just thought of.
But he now knew Wu Yu's character, so this method made him
excited.
"We are not forcing you to do anything. If you think that using
the Darkness Breaching Talisman is embarrassing, then it's
alright for you to remain here. However, do not let us find out
that you have collected a single additional Dead Souls Net. If
you are in the top 10 after we get out.... Forget it, we'll not
make things difficult for you. If you are in the top five, then
you cannot blame us for being ruthless. After all, we've given
you a chance and a long time to consider."
After saying this, the entire group laughed.
"Actually, you have earned it. The prizes for the sixth to 10th
place are about the same. Anyway, from now on, you cannot
collect another Dead Souls Net. If you think that you have too
many Dead Souls Nets, it is okay to throw a few away. The Dark
North Battle for Supremacy has never barred us from giving up
a few Dead Souls Nets. Anyway, our condition is that you
cannot enter the top five," Prince You Yang said.
"You should know what to do. Actually, our Dark North
Kingdom can have a very good relationship with you, as long
as you do not take the initiative to embarrass us. You are my
dear sister's friend, why would you take the initiative to make
things uncomfortable for you? As long as you do as we say,
everything will end well. Now everything depends on your
performance, Wu Yu," Princess You Yu said coquettishly.
After saying all this, Princess You Xue was angered first. Her
eyes were bloodshot and she said coldly, "You all are really
shameless. This Dark North Battle for Supremacy has always
emphasized fair play. This is the tradition of our Dark North
Kingdom. Now, in your hands, it has become a competition
that allows underhanded methods to threaten others when
you cannot win openly. You even threaten the friends and
family of others. I did not expect such people to possess the
bloodline of the Dark North Royal family, and to even be my
older brothers and sisters. I feel disgusted to have you as my
elder siblings!"
She was really furious because she knew that this was Wu Yu's
bottom line. Thinking back, at the Taigu Immortal Path, those
people had died on the Immortals’ Viewing Platform because
they had also threatened Wu Yu like this.
This was the threat that Wu Yu could never endure. Perhaps
until just now, to Wu Yu, he was simply taking part in a small
dispute. It could not hurt him at all. However, this was now a
different situation. This had risen to the point of war and
hatred, and it was a hatred that was uncontrollable in life and
death.
Prince You Yan still thought that he was smart. Of course, they
were scrutinizing Wu Yu's reaction.
Under their scrutiny, Wu Yu did not seem to react much. He
was very quiet and his eyes swept across every one of them,
to observe them. It was as though he wanted to imprint
everyone in his memory, especially these few princes and
princesses.
They all felt that Wu Yu did not seem too angry.
Actually, they did not know that when Wu Yu stopped arguing,
that was the point where he was most disappointed, and
disappointment was often accompanied by strong will. Wu
Yu's dao made him more rebellious the more he was
pressured. This pressure now was 10 times heavier than
before and had reached the point where he could not bear
with it. He knew what he was about to do. Perhaps it would be
futile, a measly attempt to fight stones with eggs, but his
rebellious will, his unyielding spirit, had already hit the level he
could not control.
"Wu Yu, how will you respond?" Yuan Qinqiong asked.
Everyone was looking at him, including the 800,000 people
outside, who were clueless of the truth.
They only saw Wu Yu suddenly smiling and saying, "Everyone,
your words are right, this time it is me who has offended
everyone. I will gratefully accept your highnesses' reminder
and will definitely not disappoint everyone in 20 days."
It sounded like Wu Yu was being very obedient. It seemed like
there was no problem at all. Prince You Yang and the others
were very satisfied. They knew deeply that this method was
indeed much better than the previous one using Princess You
Xue.
Wu Yu was very obedient and they were very satisfied.
"Great, then everything will end well. Since that is the case,
release Duan Yi first."
Chapter 777: A Life and Death Struggle
Delight and satisfaction.
This phrase brought about uncomfortable feelings. Of course,
the delighted ones were them and not Wu Yu.
Although Wu Yu had emerged victorious against Duan Yi, it
could be clear from the jeering laughter and expressions of the
princes and princesses that he had clearly failed.
Now they wanted Wu Yu to release Duan Yi. Duan Yi was still
suffering amidst the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation
Design, completely ashamed to face anyone.
To release or not to release?
Wu Yu would naturally let him loose. Additionally, Duan Yi was
no longer a crucial piece.
Duan Yi was, after all, merely a pawn to these individuals. He
had lost and was now worthless in their eyes. His aspirations
had been shattered. From now onwards, Duan Yi, who was no
longer even a dark north general, could not threaten Wu Yu in
any way.
Thus Wu Yu released his Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation
Design back into its 10,000 Dragons Staff form in his hands.
Duan Yi truly cut a sorry figure as it was. Perhaps he did not
even know what was happening. His vacant gaze stared
towards the audience. Anyone could imagine the sort of
mental shock he had received. Yet all of this was self-inflicted.
The current him was just itching to find a hole to hide in.
Before the princes could speak, he willingly chose to break his
own Darkness Breaching Talisman and escape the Ghost Sea
Prison. Before long, an elder came by to escort him out
silently.
Truthfully, the news of Wu Yu obtaining numerous Dead Souls
Nets had already been spread to the princes and princesses.
"Everyone, I will take my leave." As they had previously agreed
upon this, Wu Yu had no further need to linger here.
Princess You Xue wanted to leave with him, and more than
half of Wu Yu's numerous doppelgangers had already returned
to him. Only 300 remained by his side. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar was also nearby. When the numbers were fewer, the
white-haired, blood red-pupiled avatar was truly eye-catching.
All of the members of royalty continued to stare at it.
"Wu Yu. This is our last warning. We are very good-natured
people. Don't force us to turn into killing monsters. Your future
lies in our hands," Prince You Yan drawled as he affixed his
gaze onto Wu Yu. He still didn't believe in Wu Yu's ability - he
believed Wu Yu did not have the ability to resist.
This was the plight of those without background.
When Wu Yu left, they did not stop him. Instead, they
gathered in a circle and smiled, as though everything had been
settled perfectly.
"Alright. As per our agreement, we will begin now. We will
compete fairly and see who gains the position of first place."
Prince You Yang smiled gaily. To be frank, he had full
confidence in his ability to emerge as number one.
Of course, there were still another 20 days of time. The
cultivators and demons were whipped into a frenzy. Whoever
obtained the position of champion would obtain the Dark
North Royal Obelisk, and it was an unbelievable prize.
After hearing of Wu Yu's count of Dead Souls Nets, they were
assured that in 20 days, they would push him out of the top
five.
Their original agreement was to gather and deal with Wu Yu
before engaging in fair competition. Despite their amicable
dealings, once they separated, they started to battle
frenziedly.
It was a race against time, and all 20 of them left even quicker
than Wu Yu did.
All that was left was Princess You Xue, Wu Yu, and the hidden
Full Moon of Nanshan. Princess You Xue was unaware that this
guest was hiding nearby.
Her expression showed a deep furrow as she gazed at Wu Yu
sadly. "I'm sorry. I never knew they would use such depraved
means. Such coercion must have been hard to tolerate.
There's still time and we can think of a solution." However, Wu
Yu was clearly aware of the situation.
At this point in time, there was nothing that could truly faze
him.
"Don't be anxious," he said as he looked at Princess You Xue.
He was filled only with determination and cold blood.
Princess You Xue replied, "After they spoke so and you
immediately agreed, I already knew that you would not obey.
You should hurry and attain first place. That way, once we
leave, I will do my best to restrict them and prevent this
situation from spreading. They would not dare to make a
move. The only fear is that they will act without caring about
their own reputation and dispatch assassins in the shadows or
act underhandedly. This is something we truly cannot defend
against." She herself was a princess. Within the Dark North
Kingdom, her methods were similar. If this spread, that these
princes had used such means to pressure Wu Yu, it would be
a stain on their reputation. If the elders heard of it, they might
not even allow such actions.
It was truly shameless.
Wu Yu insipidly replied, "If I acted as they said, then all of my
previous efforts would go to waste. I will not let go of
something I've almost attained. Especially not to a group of
vagabonds and vagrants. This is not my dao." Thus, he would
continue to struggle, regardless of the risk. After all, what in
martial cultivation did not possess risk?
Either the fish dies or the net breaks. This was a struggle of life
and death.
"Thus, I will struggle even harder to become champion. This
way, I will become more famous. Once I've done so, I will
spread tales of their underhanded means." This way, the
members of royalty would have to closely consider their
moves. Otherwise, it would demonstrate their inferior
characters and tarnish their reputation throughout the Jambu
Realm.
Prince You Yan had not expected that Wu Yu would become
even more determined. With such a large blade hanging over
Wu Yu's head, his mood naturally improved. They felt that
they had truly suppressed Wu Yu.
Thus, he would not go further and would cease striving for first
place.
Additionally, the princes and princesses and the rest of them
were the ones with the highest chance of entering the top 10.
Those below the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm could only curse.
It was obvious that everyone would go all out towards the end.
"You've thought things through. They will definitely not let you
stay in the top five. Now that things have reached this point,
I'm sure they wouldn't mind doing a bit more. Anyway, anyone
could go crazy, right?" the Full Moon of Nanshan said to Wu
Yu. Only nonsense ever came out of that boar's mouth.
"I know, pinning your hopes on others' consciences and
scruples is dangerous. If they are left with no choice, even I will
be caught in the crossfire! Thus, when the Dark North Battle
for Supremacy ends, I need to have the strength to resist them
and gain a foundation for myself."
"Your strength can only compete with that Duan Yi guy. You
are only left with 20 days. What else can you do?" The Full
Moon of Nanshan guffawed.

Wu Yu did not reply. He had no need for the Full Moon of

Nanshan to know of the devouring powers of the Heaven
Devouring Avatar. It had already left.
"Regardless, the number of demons that will appear will
gradually increase. With only 20 days left, everyone will be
striving for Dead Souls Nets!" Wu Yu said resolutely.
After introducing Princess You Xue to the Full Moon of
Nanshan, the hiding demon said, "This lass is truly hot.
However, I cannot bully my friend's wife. I will merely
appreciate you from a distance."
"Go and look for demons." Wu Yu cut him off immediately and
the three headed off together, to prevent a similar situation
from happening again.
The threat to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent would come
later. Princess You Xue's safety was more urgent.
"Let’s go." The Full Moon of Nanshan acted as though he had
forgotten something as he chuckled before heading off.
Wu Yu and Princess You Xue already knew that they had
embarked on a tempestuous road. It would be untold times
more unpredictable, where success was not guaranteed.
The opponents had already forced Wu Yu onto a narrow path.
He would struggle to the end and see who would emerge
alive!
He had no background, but what he had was the valor and
courage of a true martial cultivator.
However, the 800,000 viewers outside had no idea what their
decision was.
They had seen Wu Yu conquering Duan Yi before leading
Princess You Xue away. The other princes and princesses had
immediately rushed off, and it seemed like the problem had
resolved itself.
Wu Yu and Princess You Xue were even chattering. It seemed
like everything was fine.
Wu Yu did not seem like he was leaving the Ghost Sea Prison.
He seemed to have quietened down and allowed others to
surpass him.
Otherwise, why would the rest have left so happily?
They had peacefully rushed off to engage in a final brawl. Even
the demons were anxious at this point in time. All the sea
region demons from the Dead Souls Sea Region were looking
forward to leaving this jail.
Now that things were about to come to a close, they would
not hold back. Additionally, the number of cultivators
remaining was not high.
The Full Moon of Nanshan had also almost obtained the
Darkness Breaching Talismans he needed. Wu Yu had also
given him a hand.
Just as they thought things were going well.
What happened next was something no one had expected. Wu
Yu seemed to have erupted into a frenzy. He fervently sought
out demons and fought berserkly, obtaining Dead Souls Nets
left and right. Most of the demons had already shown
themselves, so his hunting speed gradually hastened. He
continued to expand his large lead, and in just half a day's
time, he had almost 70 to 80 more Dead Souls Nets than the
person in second place. It would easily take one almost 10 days
just to bridge this gap.
Prince You Yan was all smiles at first. He did not know that Wu
Yu was slaughtering demons. However, all the viewers knew!
Their attempt to stop Wu Yu had fallen flat. Instead, they had
incensed him and made matters worse!
Wu Yu's fervor could be seen by everyone outside. His speed
in striking down demons was naturally quicker than that of
those princes.
Chapter 778: The Final Day
"What is going on? What are these kids doing?" Prince You Shi
was mad with anger. Right now, he could only send people in
to tell the royal members about Wu Yu's current state. There
might have been some misunderstanding within.
Those outside could clearly see that if this continued, Wu Yu
would definitely emerge in first place after 20 days. The Dark
North Royal Obelisk would belong to him, unless something
drastic changed. But the gap was growing wider and wider.
Even if Wu Yu was kicked out, it would be incredibly difficult
for anyone to overtake him.
They could not see that Wu Yu was leaving every demon's
corpse at its original spot, where a black mist would soon
follow to shroud it and make the demon corpse disappear.
Prince You Yan and the others had already received the news
after half a day, that Wu Yu had not done as they had ordered.
Before this, all of them were relaxed, excitedly embarking on
their final spree.
The news was like cramming shit down their throats. A bitter
feeling. Followed by explosive rage.
None of them could stand for this, let alone Prince You Yan,
who had personally engineered this plan and reined Wu Yu in.
This was the deepest humiliation that Wu Yu could have done
to him.
Therefore, he went berserk when he heard the news. His
demented cries echoed around the entire Ghost Sea Prison,
rippling the waters itself. Demons that heard it retreated in
fright.
"Wu Yu, I will see your entire family dead!"
This enraged cry traveled far and wide, stirring up the desolate
Ghost Sea Prison!
"I received a Message Talisman from them. Do you want to see
it?"
Princess You Xue followed Wu Yu, killing demons.
"No need." Wu Yu already knew what it would say. It must be
more sinister threats and ugly words. Wu Yu could imagine
their own rants towards himself. He had chosen this path, and
there was no room for regret. Therefore, he did not even want
to hear it.
In the Ghost Sea Prison, he was a wily ghost. As long as
Princess You Xue was not in their control, it was impossible for
them to hunt him down. After all, they could not catch the
Somersault Cloud.
Therefore, even if their fevered cries filled every corner of the
Ghost Sea Prison, Wu Yu would still be hidden away from
them, rapidly slaying demons. The number Dead Souls Nets in
his possession climbed drastically alongside his spree. Even
though the number of demons had increased, the gap
between him and second place continued to grow, until it was
more than 100, and even close to 200. He had reached an
untouchable number within a matter of days.
Princess You Xue did not even accept their messages after
that. She was not clear as to how Wu Yu planned to resolve
this. Although it was no hardship for him to become champion,
he would invite the wrath of these royal family members after
the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. They would shamelessly
target the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
Seeing Wu Yu's attitude, she knew that Wu Yu had already
entered the same state of mind as he had on the Immortals’
Viewing Platform. At that time, Wu Yu had been a terror in
Princess You Xue's eyes.
Soon, just 10 days were left. In this period, it could be said that
all the participants in the Ghost Sea Prison were looking for
Wu Yu, and those outside were also frantically sharing Wu Yu's
position. But Wu Yu was too quick. Even though they roughly
knew where he was, Wu Yu had already vanished by the time
the information got to them. They could not catch him.
Even if the royal family was fit to burst with anger, and facing
tremendous pressure from those outside, their idiocy and
anger were showcased to an audience of 800,000. They were
so incompetent that they could not even catch a Wu Yu. Wu
Yu's existence itself was a huge blow to them.
The key was that Wu Yu was ignoring them. Wu Yu himself did
not know what was up with them in these few days. He did not
care about them at all, he was simply focusing on his own Dead
Souls Nets. After all, the Dark North Battle for Supremacy was
about to end soon.
When there were 10 days left, Wu Yu's name had spread
throughout the entire Yan Huang Ancient Region, shocking
many superpowers.
Because he had clearly drawn ahead of second place with a
lead of more than 200 Dead Souls Nets. Even if Wu Yu quit the
Ghost Sea Prison now, the runner-up might not be able to get
200 - it was basically impossible.
Therefore, barring any accidents, he was basically confirmed
to be in first place - the undisputed champion of this iteration
of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy.
Of course, he had to thank the Full Moon of Nanshan. In these
days, the two had gradually grown familiar. Wu Yu found the
Full Moon of Nanshan decent. Although a little talkative and
greedy, and at times even more vulgar than Ming Long, and a
lecher to boot, at least he seemed like a worthy friend to have.
He would have plenty of time to hang out with Wu Yu in the
future. He currently had 29 Darkness Breaching Talismans. If
he got just one more, he would be kicked out prematurely. He
did not want to do so just yet. He wanted to leave just one day
before the Dark North Battle for Supremacy ended. Therefore,
he was holding back on the last Darkness Breaching Talisman,
which Wu Yu had already identified for him.
Although there were just 10 days left, Wu Yu knew that his
presence had stirred the remaining contenders into a frenzy
to look for him recklessly, trying to threaten him.
But he had already made up his mind that he would not even
acknowledge them. In the remaining time, he would only
continue to increase the number of Dead Souls Nets.
"There are just 10 days left. In this period, the number of
demons appearing is definitely increasing. They will also be
able to get more Dead Souls Nets. Therefore, I cannot let up
even now."
This was a frantic race.
Outside, all 800,000 could see that Wu Yu had become more
harsh in this time. His resolve was a shining point about him
that no one could complain about.
His calm manner was indeed superior compared to the
outbursts of those royal family members. Comparatively, the
princes and princesses were in an even blacker mood now.
They could not focus on killing demons, because they knew
that they could not possibly reach first place in these few days.
The entire Dark North Tribe watching outside was sitting on
pins and needles.

To them, the result was already decided. Such a result was

truly disastrous.
However, seeing them played by Wu Yu, they could only curse
inwardly. The Dark North Battle for Supremacy had to be fair,
which was why they invited guests from all over the Yan Huang
Ancient Region to watch. They were supposed to see the
power of the new generation of the Dark North Kingdom. That
was all a mess now. They only saw the idiots of the new
generation of the Dark North Kingdom.
But actually, they were not idiots. It was simply that Wu Yu
was too hard to deal with.
The most vexing thing for Prince You Yan was that he did not
expect Wu Yu to be unafraid of such threats.
Right now, he could not meet Wu Yu, but when he did, he
would shred him into tiny pieces. No one could stop him now.
Days passed in such fashion. Each day, Wu Yu would expand
his lead a little more. When there was less than one day left,
he was already close to 300 ahead.
In second place, Prince You Yang could not possibly gain 300
Dead Souls Nets in one day. Even if the ground was littered
with demons, the only possible champion would be Wu Yu.
Actually, Wu Yu could have used his Darkness Breaching
Talisman and left. There was no need to stay till the end.
Many saw no hope in continuing, and also left. Princess You
Xue was among them.
On the last day, the Full Moon of Nanshan had to complete his
quota as well. Therefore, on this day, the Full Moon of
Nanshan found a suitable martial cultivator with Wu Yu's help,
forcing him to use the Darkness Breaching Talisman. He
gathered 30 Darkness Breaching Talismans, and was taken out
of the Ghost Sea Prison.
Actually, Princess You Xue and the Full Moon of Nanshan also
had no idea what Wu Yu was planning to do on this last day.
However, Wu Yu had taken one Message Talisman from
Princess You Xue that could reach Prince You Yan.
The demons and martial cultivators were in a frenzied state of
battle.
The princes and princesses could not find Wu Yu, and could
only enter their final struggle in a fit of angry despair.
The Dark North Battle for Supremacy was a nightmare for
them. And Wu Yu was the devil of their dreams.
On this last day, Prince You Yan was with Jiang Shangyue. The
two were killing demons as their final push. Their faces were
defeated and sullen. They had probably had an argument.
"It's the last day. We'll see when we get out. I'm sick of waiting
around." Looking around, Prince You Yan gave a maniacal
smile. These 20 days had been the most embarrassing period
in his life. But he believed that now that it was over, those that
had gone back on their agreement would pay the price.
"Are you planning to act the moment the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy ends? Or should we find a reasonable candidate to
do it with everyone else? It's said that any Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivator can slay everyone at the Demon
Sealing Continent," Jiang Shangyue said snappily.
"I've already selected someone. This person has acted on my
behalf very efficiently before, when my hands were tied,"
Prince You Yan said coldly.
Jiang Shangyue was equally bitter. "We have truly been
disgraced. But that was his choice, and we can't blame him.
The Dark North Royal Obelisk is a wonderful thing. A pity he
won't be able to use it."
Chapter 779: Fight for Power
The two exchanged a smile. Actually on this last day, they
finally understood. Rather than angering oneself, they should
direct this hatred, anger, and struggle toward Wu Yu.
But, unexpectedly, even when the result was set, they actually
received a Message Talisman from Wu Yu.
At this moment, the Dark North Tribe members outside had
already accepted this reality and were quite disappointed.
They were disheartened, and some had left already.
Wu Yu was ahead by over 300 Dead Souls Nets at this point.
He not only did not leave, but had actually initiated contact
with them.
"What is this person planning to do?" Jiang Shangyue asked
doubtfully. Now Prince You Yan was looking at the Message
Talisman.
After Prince You Yan read it, his expression turned strange. He
felt that this was absurd and looked at Jiang Shangyue. He
said, "He told me that he is waiting for me at the place he and
Duan Yi battled. He wants to settle this fight of resentment."
"How is that possible? Is he joking with us? He still wants to
embarrass us?" Jiang Shangyue said in disbelief. Obviously, the
best course of action for Wu Yu right now would be for him to
leave as soon as possible.
Prince You Yan said, "We've already reached this moment, are
you still afraid that he will trick us? Let's gather the others.
There's only one more day left. Let's all go there."
Wu Yu had said in his Message Talisman to gather as many
people as they could, the more the merrier. He meant that he
wanted as many people as possible gathered in his position.
Then we would do as he wished. Prince You Yan's eyes were
cold and dark.
He was now headed in Wu Yu's direction, and he sent the
Message Talisman out. All who were similar to him in status
and ability would receive his Message Talisman and know
about this. Then these people would spread the news and it
would reach many other people.
To them, now Wu Yu was important business.
Actually, on this day, the top 10 were obvious because the
group who had the most Dead Souls Nets was far ahead of the
others in terms of numbers. Basically everyone who received
Prince You Yan's Message Talisman saw that Wu Yu actually
was going to reveal himself in public and settle their fight of
resentment, and they wanted to take a look. Especially those
who had no hope at all of entering the top 10.
So this huge group of people gradually appeared at the
previous place of battle.
Actually, the 800,000 people outside also realized that Wu Yu
had stopped moving and that his current position was the spot
where he had defeated Duan Yi.
"What is he doing? Why is it that others are heading in his
direction? Perhaps he contacted the others?"
"I think that's what he did. Why is he suddenly so daring?
Wasn't he hiding and evading before?"
"Perhaps he became courageous. I want to see what he can
stir up on this last day."
It was already the last day, and the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy was about to end.
The people of the various powers might fight after this ended,
especially the people of the Yan Huang Ancient Country and
the Dark North Kingdom.
Obviously, one could see that Qu Yin and his group were
already itching to make a move. Their eyes were full of praise
for Wu Yu.
Now laughter kept erupting from their sector. It was obvious
that they were in high spirits.
"What's there to be proud of? Wu Yu is not even from the Yan
Huang Tribe! Perhaps when he emerges, he will willingly join
our Dark North Kingdom and become part of our Dark North
Tribe. While he does not have the bloodline, a person like him
is acceptable."
"Forget it, he has already embarrassed us enough. Such a
person should die here. He cannot be brought to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country to make the Yan Huang Ancient
Country stronger."
Everyone was discussing his fate. Prince You Yan and Jiang
Shangyue appeared before Wu Yu first. He was closely
followed by Prince You Yang, Prince You Ying, Princess You Yu,
Princess You Xuan, and the others. They were fast too. They
arrived one after another and immediately surrounded Wu Yu.
While they knew that it was useless, at least they could stress
Wu Yu mentally.
After receiving the news, more people came. At least there
were more than the 20 people from before. Not long later,
about 100 people arrived, and the numbers were increasing.
This was the last day, and they were treating this like a show
to see what Wu Yu was going to do. Prince You Yan looked at
Wu Yu as though he was an explosive about to blow up.
If not for Wu Yu having obviously expressed his intent to
discuss with them, he would probably already have attacked.
Except when he thought about it, Wu Yu’s moves were
shocking. He had used the Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock to hurt
Wu Yu, but it would probably not be useful now.
Prince You Yang pulled the agitated Prince You Yan and said in
a deep voice, "Don't be rash. He probably dared to show
himself to seek peace and because he is worried about the
Demon Sealing Continent. Let's see how he intends to
negotiate!"
The talented youths of the Dark North Tribe had surrounded
Wu Yu and were looking at him with dark expressions.
They had all heard of the situation here and knew that once
today was over, if Wu Yu took first place and received the Dark
North Royal Obelisk of their Dark North Kingdom, that would
be incredibly unbearable. This was the godly weapon that the
Dark Sea Emperor once wielded.
And there were so many other supreme treasures and great
honor.
Wu Yu did not hold the suspense any longer after seeing that
the crowd had assembled. He looked at the audience, and his
gaze landed on Prince You Yan. This person had the most
exchanges with him. It was also his idea to threaten the Dong
Sheng Divine Continent. Hence, after Wu Yu betrayed their
agreement, the angriest person was him.
Here, his motive was the strongest!
"Everyone." Wu Yu took the initiative and became the host. He
announced loudly first, "I have close to 1,000 Dead Souls Nets.
I believe that no one here can surpass me. After today, I will
no doubt be the champion of the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy. On this, there is nothing for debate."
Not only were many of the participants looking at him, but
basically all 800,000 outside were also staring at him even
though they did not know what he was saying.
Wu Yu's words caused some uproar. Close to 1,000 Dead Souls
Nets was a number that was hard to surpass even for Prince
You Yang. He only had over 700 Dead Souls Nets now.

To put it simply, as long as Wu Yu was willing, no one could

stop him from claiming the championship.
"Are you bragging? Wu Yu, do you really think that what I said
to you 20 days ago was just a joke? To be honest, I've already
arranged for the manpower to execute my plan when we leave
this place. Not long after that, the good news will travel to your
ears." Prince You Yan was at the last straw of his patience, how
could he still speak to Wu Yu calmly?
His threat was no surprise to Wu Yu.
Wu Yu stared at him, his eyes burning. They glared at each
other. He said seriously, "I know that this was not your original
goal. You just didn't want me to enter the top 10. Actually, if I
had not appeared today, I would have won and it would have
been the end of it. You wouldn’t even have had the
opportunity to retort. Today, I'm here because I want to give
everyone a fair and just conclusion."
Prince You Yang interrupted him and said, "Then let's see what
kind of fair conclusion you want."
Wu Yu was also direct and said, "Today, before everyone, I'm
going to make things clear. As long as you fulfill my condition,
then I can throw all my Dead Souls Net into the Ghost Sea
Prison!"
Hearing this, they were tempted because their original goal
was to resolve this problem from its root cause and not to take
revenge. Revenge would only make them vengeful in their
hearts.
"Then tell us your condition," Prince You Yan said coldly.
"First, I need everyone to guarantee for me, to swear to the
heavens, to swear to everyone, that you will never stir trouble
at the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, regardless of you doing it
personally or ordering someone to do so on your behalf. If not,
you will die, your dao will disappear, and your spirit will be
destroyed!"
Martial cultivators basically dared not to swear such deadly
oaths to the heavens.
Because the heavens controlled the Heavens' Wrath and the
dao crises. It was said that if one betrayed his oath, then the
Heavens' Wrath suffered at the Dao Querying Three Disasters
Realm would be much scarier than average. Hence, a certain
amount of courage was needed to swear such a deadly oath.
This was a restraining power on any of the martial cultivators.
It was because Wu Yu had betrayed the agreement that they
had to do that. Hence, to them, this was not really important.
As long as Wu Yu threw away those nets, they wouldn’t bother
to create trouble at the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
While these 20 days were infuriatingly humiliating, they could
vent this humiliation on Wu Yu. If word got out that they
attacked the family of a martial cultivator, it would damage
their reputation too.
Hence, Prince You Yan would not believe that this was Wu Yu's
condition. He believed that this was only one of his conditions.
So he answered, "As long as you do things obediently, I've no
interest in your family and friends. It's nothing to swear that
deadly oath. But if that were all, you wouldn't have wasted
your efforts for these 20 days. So?"
Wu Yu answered him quickly, "This is indeed only one of the
conditions. The more important condition is that I'm going to
challenge you."
He said it so lightly. These five words were uttered calmly, yet
they contained unbelievable courage. There were so many
present, yet none of them expected Wu Yu to dare to say
those words, because they were on totally different levels.
Prince You Yan was one of the strongest in the Dark North
Kingdom for those under 100 years old and below the Dao
Querying Three Disasters Realm.
Hence, many people thought that they had heard wrongly.
Wu Yu continued, "You guys heard correctly, I want to
challenge Prince You Yan and take a gamble. If I lose, I'll throw
all my Dead Souls Nets into the Ghost Sea Prison. If I win, I'll
bring them out and claim all the prizes and honor belonging to
the champion. Regardless of victory or defeat, you guys have
to swear a deadly oath. This is my entire goal of coming here.
I've shown you my sincerity. Now it depends on whether you
all dare to take it. After all, I'm also thinking of a way to resolve
this difficult problem."
He looked at the audience, who were at a loss.
Chapter 780: Dark North Cartograph
Wu Yu's steadfast determination showed that he had been
planning for this day for the past 20 days.
He might even have come up with this plan from the day that
Prince You Yan had threatened the Dong Sheng Divine
Continent.
To them, his brazenness knew no bounds.
Even the Full Moon of Nanshan, who had accompanied Wu Yu
throughout, had no idea.
But his guts had shocked them.
Therefore, as Wu Yu laid out his thoughts calmly, there was no
response for a while as they reeled.
Everyone looked at Wu Yu, then at Prince You Yan.
Their gazes were locked on each other in an invisible struggle.
Clearly, just by looking at them, Wu Yu was far from being able
to compare to Prince You Yan. The only thing he had was guts.
But guts played a very limited role in battle. At least for them.
"Is he addled in the brain? Or undone by fear? Challenging
Prince You Yan? Is there hope?" The whispers began.
"You don't see? I'm afraid that he doesn't intend to defeat
Prince You Yan at all. He simply wishes to use this method to
earn their forgiveness and ask for their benevolence. At the
same time, it's a way for him to back down with a little grace.
Otherwise, if he simply gave up on collecting Dead Souls Nets,
that would be too undignified."
"Seems good. That means that Wu Yu is no dunderhead, he's
trying to win back some pride."
"It's alright. But he has already been very brazen in our Dark
North territory. He should have been reined in long ago.
Perhaps only these princes and princesses can do it."
"Challenging Prince You Yan is like attacking a rock with an
egg."
"But all he wants is Prince You Yan's deadly oath."
"The outcome of the battle is unimportant to him. Even if he
loses today, and very badly, his reputation is enough to shake
the entire Jambu Realm. I do envy him. He's really made his
name in this Dark North Battle for Supremacy."
The discussions ensued as they stared interrogatively at Wu
Yu, as though trying to read his mind.
But perhaps only Prince You Yan and the other 20 could feel
that this was not Wu Yu's true intention.
He indeed sought a dignified way of getting Prince You Yan to
pass over the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
But he also needed a fair fight to reinforce his Dark North
Battle for Supremacy win!
This was Wu Yu! The straightforward and domineering will!
But even such strength of will was laughable to Prince You Yan.
He even saw it as disrespect.
He could entirely choose to allow Wu Yu to have first place and
then take revenge on the Dong Sheng Divine Continent after
this.
But this would not favor his reputation outside. They would
brand him as someone who was narrow-minded and obsessed
with revenge.
Wu Yu's championship was the larger picture here.
Therefore, it seemed like he had to accept. But if he did, then
everyone would have to make the deadly oath together.
This was the caveat. And then the showdown.
If he could win without problems, then he could smooth over
the conflict of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy.
And the Dark North Tribe would regain their pride.
But if Prince You Yan lost, then the Dark North Tribe would be
in deeper trouble than ever....
Everyone understood this.
But even Prince You Yan felt that it was virtually impossible for
Wu Yu to come out on top in a battle against him at this time.
If he did not assent to any condition, he would be seen as
surrendering, afraid to accept the challenge, and before the
eyes of 800,000 spectators at that. The conclusion to an epic -
there was no chance that Prince You Yan would reject such an
end to the day.
This, too, was what Wu Yu was banking on.
He was supremely confident. That was why he had showed up
today.
Prince You Yang and the others conferred privately for a while.
Perhaps everyone had much to offer.
But all in all, they were willing to put aside their towering rage
with Wu Yu and convert it into fire for the battle.
Prince You Yan could freely use any method he wished to crush
Wu Yu and achieve the conclusion he desired.
Therefore, with everyone watching, the others fell back, while
Prince You Yan stared coldly at Wu Yu. He beckoned
imperiously, "Since you have such sincerity, then I will grant
your wish. After all, there is but a day left in the Dark North
Battle for Supremacy. I will spend it on you."
He had accepted.
Everyone heard him clearly, and therefore they had to back
down now, leaving a wide space as the battleground.
This was what Wu Yu had expected.
All that he had done until now was because these people had
forced his hand!
From beginning to end, the last thing he could bear was to
have others threaten his family and friends.
Therefore, he had to challenge it. He had to go wild, to dig
deep.
And today was the day that what he had suppressed for 20
days would explode forth.
"I not only want to get first place in the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy, but I want to defeat him openly, and leave this
place with my head held as high as possible. Finally, I will make
all of them to have respect for me."
If they respected him, who would dare to attack his sore
point?
To drive him to such reckless, savage actions?
Naturally, no one could obtain any drastic leap in strength in
20 days' time - not since the beginning of time. Therefore,
Prince You Yan was not at all worried.
He could completely crush Wu Yu at this time.

The two faced off like an adult against a child.

Wu Yu looked extremely frail and pitiful.
"Perhaps this guy defeated Duan Yi and felt like he was close
to touching Prince You Yan. He doesn't know that although
Duan Yi and Prince You Yan are only one tier apart, there is a
difference between heaven and earth. Prince You Yan is a
prince, and Duan Yi is only the son of a mere provincial lord.
Can all be the same between them? Just in terms of advanced
dao treasures alone, and elite advanced dao treasures, Prince
You Yan already has two."
Some could not resist laughing. The pair would probably fight
very soon, and this battle would not be competitive in the
least.
Wu Yu wanted to deal with Prince You Yan as an example to
the others. Before today, he had already learned of Prince You
Yan's strength through Princess You Xue.
Prince You Yan was one of the strongest martial cultivators yet
to enter the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm. He was a
contender for the Dark North throne in the future, and had the
ability to match it.
For example, his two advanced dao treasures had been
obtained from the previous Dark North Battles for Supremacy.
In the previous one, he had gotten sixth place, and two
iterations ago, he had achieved third.
The first time, he had obtained the Titan Sword of Grit and
Starlight.
This was an ancient bastard sword, a killing machine
composed of black sand and swirling with starlight. Its power
was nothing to sneeze at - it was definitely more powerful than
Duan Yi's Elysian Life Extinguisher!
His second advanced dao treasure was even more terrifying. It
was known as the Dark North Cartograph.
This was an advanced dao treasure that had been passed
down in the Dark North royal family for a long time. It was very
famous, and each owner had been a hero of the Dark North
royal family.
The Dark North Cartograph held the power of all the
mountains in the Dark North Kingdom. It could invoke their
power to crush enemies, and was Prince You Yan's trump card
that would crush his opponents and make them weep.
Prince You Yan had not used both at the same time in a while.
Both advanced dao treasures, the Titan Sword of Grit and
Starlight and the Dark North Cartograph, facing the same
opponent.
With these two dao treasures, he was on par with his senior,
Prince You Yang.
Besides, Prince You Yan still had all kinds of dao techniques
and mystiques hailed as elite in the Dark North Kingdom. For
example, the Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock from before was one
of them.
The Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock was one of his fundamental
mystiques.
Speaking of that, Wu Yu had quite the tangle with Prince You
Yan.
It was because of Prince You Yan that Wu Yu could enter the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm.
If not, he would not even be qualified to face off against Prince
You Yan now.
Anything could happen in the heat of battle. Even if there were
injuries or deaths, that was very normal.
Right now, everyone was watching these two. Evidently,
Prince You Yan was not inclined to waste time on Wu Yu.
Therefore, when the two decided to fight with their lives,
Prince You Yan immediately unleashed his advanced dao
treasures!
The first one was naturally his Titan Sword of Grit and
Starlight. Perhaps to him, Wu Yu was not even worth him
pulling out the Dark North Cartograph!
Just the Titan Sword of Grit and Starlight alone seemed to put
Prince You Yan far above Wu Yu!
He had a kingly aura of domination to him, a god amongst
men. Before him, Wu Yu looked insignificant indeed!
And at this time, Wu Yu had not used the Lawful Embodiment
of Heaven and Earth, nor transformed into the Immortal Ape.
He stood as a man.
Prince You Yan was already shrouded in robust Violet Kingdom
Primordial Energy. The inky Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy
swirled around him, forming violet dragons that roared at Wu
Yu, baring fang and tooth!
If not for Prince You Yan reining them in, they would probably
have devoured Wu Yu already.
Suddenly, the huge, black sword in Prince You Yan's hand
jabbed forward. Instantly, the entire sea region rang with an
ear-splitting sound!
An endless stream of black light blasted towards Wu Yu!
Chapter 781: The Brave Fear Nothing
This battle was well underway.
Prince You Yan was impressive, much more so than Duan Yi in
all ways.
From the moment he acted, his incredible Violet Kingdom
Primordial Energy had already swallowed Wu Yu whole. If not
for the fact that those outside could see Wu Yu on the
Shadower, they would think that he had been completely
owned by Prince You Yan.
"Wait." Just as the tension was rising, Wu Yu had dodged his
opponent's attack simply by using the Swift Art.
He appeared in their midst, glowering at Prince You Yan.
"What's your great hurry? Have you sworn your deadly oath?"
To Wu Yu, this was fairly important. This was the reason that
he would stand before them. Otherwise, he would not have
needed to challenge him.
Besides, he was also proving to them that even with so many
surrounding him, he could easily leave them all behind if he
was unhappy. Besides, he could also use the Darkness
Breaching Talisman, then they could do nothing to him.
"Tedious," Prince You Yan retorted. However, he did stay his
hand. A little begrudgingly, he said, "I, You Yan, swear to the
heavens that I will not disturb the peace of the Dong Sheng
Divine Continent, nor bring harm to Wu Yu's friends and
family. Or I will perish, and my dao with me!"
"Everyone has heard it, he made the oath." To him, it was a
check, and therefore Wu Yu required such a deadly oath from
him.
Besides, it was not just Prince You Yan. The other 20 or so who
had once accosted Wu Yu - he required them to vow too.
Otherwise, he had no need to participate in today's fight.
The others followed reluctantly, and the deadly oaths were
begrudgingly taken. None of them were interested in this
oath.
"And now we can fight." Prince You Yan brandished the Titan
Sword of Grit and Starlight in his hand, his voice clear and cold.
"Yes." Regardless of how effective the deadly oath was, Wu Yu
had done his due diligence.
What remained was his madness.
This was what he had planned for 20 days. A real highlight.
By the time he heard Wu Yu's reply, Prince You Yan was
already extremely impatient.
Thinking of the frustration, resentment, and rage building in
this time, he channeled them all into his Violet Kingdom
Primordial Energy and his advanced dao treasure. The Titan
Sword of Grit and Starlight exploded with energy.
He acted swiftly. Seeing this bastard sword explode, it turned
into a sooty, black sand, and then reformed into a colossal
black dragon that circled Prince You Yan. It was similar to Wu
Yu's Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design!
It was already the final day, and the participants who had given
up, along with the 800,000 spectators, were all watching
Prince You Yan's grand show.
"Go to hell." Prince You Yan poured all his anger into his
attacks. The entire Ghost Sea Prison was ripped apart, the
seawater churned into dust. The dragon bared its maw, and
came gnashing towards Wu Yu!
Wu Yu had already increased his strength to the maximum. In
his hand, the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff
expanded massively, until it looked like a golden pillar that
propped up the sky itself. His two arms continued to bulge and
thicken. He had already put his Violent Art into the attack and
activated the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design on the
10,000 Dragons Staff. As the Violent Art took effect, the
Otherworldly Infinite 10,000 Dragons Staff turned into a
colossal golden dragon, with Wu Yu clutching on to its tail and
controlling it with the Violent Art. This was basically the height
of his power right now!
The golden mystical dragon and black mystical dragon clashed
before eager and tense expressions. A clash of advanced dao
treasures!
RUMBLE!
Under their respective owners' control, the advanced dao
treasures snarled and bit at each other, doing heated battle. It
was as though two real mystical dragons were fighting.
Perhaps even real mystical dragons could not reach this level
of combat!
Ping, ping!
Wu Yu quickly found out how strenuous it was to hold out in a
head-on fight against such an opponent.
His opponent's advanced dao treasure was controlled by an
abundance of Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy. It was far
superior to Wu Yu's own physical strength. Even his powerful
physique, compounded with the Violent Art and the Lawful
Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, he was completely
outclassed. The eternal sand was shattered, while the Titan
Sword of Grit and Starlight suddenly reformed as a bastard
sword that almost sliced Wu Yu into bits.
Fortunately, Wu Yu could use the Somersault Cloud to quickly
evade his opponent's attack. But this clash showed him clearly
that the chances of Prince You Yan killing him was over 90%,
and his chances of doing the same were virtually zero.

This was the huge difference between his real body and Prince
You Yan's might. Whether the spectators here or the 800,000
outside, all the experts from the Yan Huang Ancient Region
could see that Wu Yu was outclassed by Prince You Yan.
"As expected, this kid's main aim was the deadly oaths. His
challenge was simply an attempt at a dignified defeat. His
boldness is indeed interesting."
"Laughable. To do so many meaningless things just to salvage
some pride. I see it as a further self-embarrassment! To try for
the prize and reputation of the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy, laughable!"
Seeing Wu Yu get owned, everyone relaxed and smiled.
At this time, the supporting cultivators in the Dark North Battle
for Supremacy had also passed word of the exchange between
Wu Yu and Prince You Yan to those outside, and they now
knew what was going on here.
"Dong Sheng Divine Continent?" All the immortal kingdoms in
the Yan Huang Ancient Region had their own intelligence
network in the others. Therefore, by the time Prince You Shi
knew what was happening, the Yan Huang Ancient Country
knew as well.
"Wu Yu has no need to worry. As long as he is willing to return
to the Yan Huang Ancient Country with us, we will definitely
protect every last person of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
After all, the Dong Sheng Divine Continent is also our Yan
Huang Ancient Country's territory." Qu Yin had just been to
Dong Sheng Divine Continent, and he understood the place
well. Therefore, he was confident about this.
Qu Yin smiled and thought, "Wu Yu does not know that we are
here, or our intentions. That is why he has made such a choice,
to duke it out with Prince You Yan. But he has no chance - he
should have given up at the start. But whether he wins or not,
we have found a gem. When he comes out, we'll tell him that
we have a better proposal than this oath-taking business."
The others of Yan Huang Ancient Country laughed as well.
There was no pressure for them, and the Dark North Kingdom
would not dare to start any trouble with them over this. After
all, the Dong Sheng Divine Continent was indeed the Yan
Huang Ancient Country's territory, albeit a barren wasteland
of poverty that sat neglected. But if the Yan Huang Ancient
Country refused entry to others, they indeed could not enter.
Wu Yu's decision caused the 800,000 watching to scratch their
heads in puzzlement. Everyone thought that he was going to
give up his championship. Although the spread of such news
might not be favorable to the Dark North Kingdom, Wu Yu
losing the win would mean that there would be no mark in
history. Who would remember what happened? But if he took
first place, he would enter the records. Perhaps millennia
later, the descendants of the Dark North Kingdom would still
remember this humiliation. Therefore, the damage to the Dark
North Kingdom would be much greater.
Therefore, although the royal elders were not very satisfied
with such threats, they themselves had no better idea against
Wu Yu.
"Amongst the youngsters, this You Yan is a bold one. When he
reaches the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm in the future,
he will be a real credit. He might even have a brighter future
than You Yang." Low whispers among the Dark North royal
family were heard. After all, they could see Prince You Yan's
imposing manner decisively trouncing Wu Yu, who was
struggling at death's door. Right now, all he could do was
dodge his opponent's attacks frantically with the Somersault
Cloud!
"Wu Yu, if this continues, our battle today will be meaningless.
If you're a man, then fight me head on. Stop sneaking about
like a street rat!" Prince You Yan was on the verge of killing Wu
Yu a few times, but Wu Yu's astonishing speed had carried him
clear. Prince You Yan was even more enraged now. Not only
did his anger find no avenue for venting, but it continued to
build. Wu Yu was truly an existence to drive one mad.
It was not that Wu Yu was escaping. Instead, his real body was
never the highlight of this battle. He had never once thought
that his real body could be his opponent's match.
"Of course. As you wish." Seated on the Somersault Cloud and
dodging, Wu Yu suddenly stopped, facing Prince You Yan.
Prince You Yan had also pulled out the Dark North Cartograph,
his strongest weapon.
When Wu Yu halted, Prince You Yan expected him to
surrender. He, too, knew that Wu Yu was merely making a play
for his pride.
However, he did not expect that a white-haired, red-eyed Wu
Yu would appear before him, while the real body of Wu Yu
retreated backwards, as though ready to watch the show.
Chapter 782: Dark North Imprisonment
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar again appeared
mysteriously before them.
Actually, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was also Wu Yu's body.
He controlled the Heaven Devouring Avatar just as well as his
main body. It was just like resting his right hand while he
fought with his left.
His Heaven Devouring Avatar wore a long, simple, white robe,
its white and silvery hair floating free. Although it looked the
same, it had a strange spookiness to it. And the crimson eyes
swirled with blood. They were mostly crimson, with a very
small, white sclerae. It looked very creepy.
This Heaven Devouring Avatar was visually disconcerting,
especially when they thought back to how Wu Yu had also
used this clone to defeat Duan Yi. The power of this clone
included some sort of devouring, and then to turn one's
mystique back on the user. This was very surprising, and it was
still fresh in their memory.
Actually, they had thought that Wu Yu would surrender for his
dignity, and was merely fighting for the sake of it. But now that
the Heaven Devouring Avatar had been revealed, Wu Yu's
intent was clear. His own body had retreated to the periphery.
He meant for it to fight his opponent!
In this world, it was astronomically rare for a clone to be
stronger than one's real body.
It was difficult for clones to improve, and many clones could
not even increase their ability. Their ability was decided at the
point of their creation!
"What is the meaning of this?" Seeing Wu Yu's clone, Prince
You Yan was a little confused. He thought the battle was over.
Wu Yu simply said, "To decide the victor." These four words
were voiced by the Heaven Devouring Avatar. It was his first
time speaking through it, and the same voice had a different
timbre to it - a raspy and sinister tone!
At the same time, an invisible pressure crept forth. Prince You
Yan completely understood now that Wu Yu was not joking.
He wanted his clone to fight him.
"Your clone is not bad. A pity that it encountered me!"
Whether clone or real body, he did not want to waste time on
Wu Yu!
Therefore, he held the Titan Sword of Grit and Starlight and
the Dark North Cartograph in his hands. Both advanced dao
treasures unleashed their respective powers. Hundreds of
thousands of spirit designs were activated at the same time,
resulting in a huge drain on one's Violet Kingdom Primordial
Energy that only Prince You Yan was capable of sustaining. His
Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy knew no limits! However,
the mystique that he first used on Wu Yu was the one that he
had used before that had enabled Wu Yu to reach the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. Heavenly Dragon Soul
Lock!
A loud dragon roar issued from his lips, the sonic attack flying
unerringly towards Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar. It
formed a Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock that entered Wu Yu's
body.
He intended to use this to destroy the part of Wu Yu's spirit or
Primordial Spirit that was in it. Because he guessed that such
a clone would probably be controlled by Wu Yu's spirit
directly. After all, the Primordial Spirit in Wu Yu's real body
was whole, and so the portion in the clone should be very frail.
By his calculations, this Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock should
easily destroy Wu Yu's clone and then continue on to destroy
his main body.
But as the Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock mystique neared, Wu
Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar dissolved into a black mist, and
the Heavenly Dragon Soul Lock was left with no target. It could
only fizzle away in the waters of the Ghost Sea Prison!
His mystique was ineffective!
This not only startled Prince You Yan, but also everyone else.
Interest in Wu Yu's clone suddenly rose. They had not noticed
that Wu Yu's real body was currently struggling.
Wu Yu was experiencing what Ming Long had warned him of.
The clone's Primordial Spirit had surpassed his real body's.
At this time, it was difficult for him to control the Heaven
Devouring Avatar. The Heaven Devouring Avatar had an
overpowering desire to devour. Wu Yu could still decisively
curb this when his real body was stronger, but right now, it
was a little vague. He frequently had the impulse to devour
everything before him. The Heaven Devouring Avatar was in a
constantly starving state - and before him was a delicacy. Even
right now, it faced the attacking Prince You Yan with hunger,
which Wu Yu had to curb, a craving that set his entire body
afire. But he knew that if he relinquished this control today, it
could get completely out of hand. His Primordial Spirit would
become a new Heaven Devouring Evil Lord, and bring disaster
to this world. He would lose all control over the Heaven
Devouring Avatar!
Therefore, Wu Yu was very clear that from now on, unless his
real body continued to grow stronger, the Heaven Devouring
Avatar could not be allowed to devour any more. In these 20
days, the Heaven Devouring Avatar had been growing so it
could defeat Prince You Yan today!
Wu Yu's sore point had been infringed on, so he needed to
grow stronger rapidly!
Especially after the Dark North Battle for Supremacy, he knew
that he would face many challenges outside. After all, he had
already revealed many of his moves here, and attracted much
attention. The avatar would make a huge difference as to
whether he lived or died!
He could not rush the progress of his main body, so he had to
borrow the strength of the Heaven Devouring Avatar. Right
now, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was still within the limits
of his control. He too was clear that the Heaven Devouring
Avatar could exceed his real body by just a tiny margin. Of
course, this was for crucial moments. Therefore, he was taking
a risk to make such a decision.
After today's battle, he would definitely not allow the Heaven
Devouring Avatar to continue devouring. His primary mission
was to continue to strengthen the Primordial Spirit of his real
body, to quickly perfect his control over his Heaven Devouring
Avatar, and to eliminate any risk!
If he was willing to take a risk, then there had to be a reward.
Therefore, he had no intention of losing today. He did not
know what the Heaven Devouring Avatar was capable of, but
he longed for more than anything to defeat this fairly elite
opponent that was Prince You Yan. This craving, paired with
the Heaven Devouring Avatar's cravings to devour, allowed
him to reach an extremely unsettling state. The red glare fixed
on his opponent was making Prince You Yan feel extremely
uncomfortable! And this discomfort would translate into
anger!
Therefore, he acted first!

However, Wu Yu could actually only wait for him to strike.

Because no matter how strong the Heaven Devouring Avatar
was, he only had one battle technique!
"Dark North Imprisonment!" Unexpectedly, the first choice of
Prince You Yan was the Dark North Cartograph.
He activated the offensive spirit designs on the Dark North
Cartograph, immediately unleashing his most famous
advanced dao treasure!
This advanced dao treasure was created based on a blueprint
of the Dark North Kingdom. Right now, a huge scroll was
unfurled, and it was infinitely huge. It filled the entire area,
and soon both Wu Yu's real body and avatar were rolled up in
the scroll. All the mountains and rivers, plains and grass - all of
them were vivid. The gentle breeze blew through the hills, the
rivers gently meandering. Even the livestock on the grassy
plains could be clearly seen grazing, as though all of this was
real.
As the Dark North Cartograph continued to grow more and
more realistic, Wu Yu was trapped within the Dark North
Imprisonment. This was a prison created by the advanced dao
treasure!
Here, Prince You Yan was the absolute lord. He was like the
Dark Sea Emperor of the entire Dark North Kingdom! Wu Yu
felt that he had left the Ghost Sea Prison and returned to the
Dark North Kingdom. All around him were the geographical
features of the Dark North Kingdom, and it felt like there was
no one in the entire Dark North Kingdom but him and Prince
You Yan!
Therefore, he naturally felt a sense of wretchedness, as
though he were being suppressed! This was all felt by Wu Yu's
real body. His avatar was not that affected.
Wu Yu was not worried. His real body continued to back away,
while his avatar continued to go up against Prince You Yan.
The Dark North Imprisonment was a magical spirit design. To
Wu Yu, he had entered another world, but to those outside,
they saw Wu Yu held by the advanced dao treasure. The Dark
North Cartograph was transparent, and they could see Wu Yu
running around like a headless housefly, while Prince You Yan
looked invincible within.
Of course, Prince You Yan had used this offensive spirit design
to lock Wu Yu down. His next move to destroy him would
follow!
"Gritty Netherworldly Void Design!" As the Dark North
Imprisonment took hold, the Titan Sword of Grit and Starlight
in his other hand dissolved into countless grains of black sand,
surrounding his arm. It continued to grow. Wu Yu could only
see black sand continue to swirl over the skies of the entire
Dark North Kingdom, and then turn into tens of thousands of
black mystical dragons, each one about the same as the one
that Wu Yu had just faced.
His opponent was truly terrifying to be able to call forth such
power! From the start, Wu Yu had been shocked by his power.
Right now, the 10,000 black mystical dragons charged towards
his avatar!
He himself started to doubt. Could his Heaven Devouring
Avatar handle this ultimate offensive spirit design?
"Wu Yu's in danger!" The 800,000 outside could see this
clearly. There were many Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm
cultivators outside. One look and they knew the devastation
that this attack could bring.
Only Wu Yu believed in the infinite potential of his Heaven
Devouring Avatar!
Chapter 783: 10,000 Spectral Transformations
Currently, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was at its limit.
Everything was banking on today's wager.
Whether he could hold on or not, Wu Yu had no way to back
down from this attack!
Even in the Dark North Imprisonment, the Titan Sword of Grit
and Starlight's spirit design was magnified, and the dragons
trumpeted in the air, fighting to get past each other as they
stormed Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar, planning to tear
him limb from limb!
The Heaven Devouring Avatar's eyes turned even redder than
before. The Primordial Spirit of the avatar had already
surpassed the real body's by a significant margin, and his
control was slipping.
Of course, the more difficult it was to control, the stronger the
absolute power that the Heaven Devouring Avatar was
capable of! Its berserk craving to devour only intensified as it
burst forth from the Heaven Devouring Avatar's entire body!
This avatar seemed almost demented. Right now, close to half
of Wu Yu's consciousness was consumed by a need to devour!
Within the Dark North Imprisonment, the mystical dragons of
black sand seemed to be on the verge of swallowing Wu Yu
whole. All eyes were wide at this majestic spectacle. They
could all see clearly, mostly through Wu Yu's Shadower, the
fight between Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar and Prince
You Yan!
"Hu!"
With everyone watching, Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar
suddenly dispersed into a black mist. Its volume and density
was much more pronounced than before. After it dissipated,
it continued to spread until it covered a quarter of the Dark
North Imprisonment!
In a flash, the mystical dragons of black sand were all within
the black mist. This black mist was like a huge creature which
easily absorbed all the mystical dragons of black sand and
furiously devoured them!
To Wu Yu, this was the crucial moment. Could he destroy the
Gritty Netherworldly Void Design?
Right now, the mystical dragons of black sand were
disoriented in his body, snarling and thrashing. The black mist
was even finer, and it was permeating the black sand.
At this time, the Heaven Devouring Avatar's finest ability had
been revealed. It was its only distinctive feature at this time.
But such a trait was strong enough already. From the start, he
had not had much confidence. But now, with this devouring,
he was still not at his limit, and could still control the Gritty
Netherworldly Void Design.
As long as his control did not rip at the onset, the Heaven
Devouring Avatar could basically control it and subject it to his
will. It was basically his now, just like how the Heaven
Devouring Avatar had turned Duan Yi's control back on him.
Prince You Yan was indeed powerful, but Wu Yu had allowed
the Heaven Devouring Avatar to devour many demon corpses
in this period. As Wu Yu managed to subdue his opponent's
attack, he relaxed. He threw himself into battle. This was also
the reason why he had dared to challenge Prince You Yan. He
was much more aggressive than Prince You Yan now, and his
real body only needed to watch the fight!
Boom, boom, boom!
Within the black mist, terrific sounds of battle clanged out.
Had this move finished Wu Yu off?
Actually, Prince You Yan himself was unsure about Wu Yu's
avatar. He thought that he had read Wu Yu, but clearly, he had
not. He suddenly realized that he had lost control over his
spirit design!
In the next instant, Wu Yu's explosion!
The black mist shrank abruptly. The area was huge before, but
it was now roughly only 10 zhang wide!
And then a violent explosion. Many originally thought that Wu
Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar would be thoroughly destroyed
in its wake.
However, they saw a black mystical dragon shoot forth from
the destruction, concentrated to the extreme and moving with
fearsome speed.
When it appeared, it shot towards Prince You Yan, snarling.
The dragon teeth and fangs were turned on Prince You Yan in
the blink of an eye.
In truth, this small, black mystical dragon was the
concentration of the entire Gritty Netherworldly Void Design
from before, converted and concentrated by Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar. Only God knew how much lethal power was
packed in it.
Therefore, when it appeared, not only those watching here,
but the 800,000 audience outside gasped. They were clearly
shocked by this development. Up until a moment ago, they
were still speculating if Wu Yu's avatar was destroyed.
To their disappointment, the one whose life was in danger
right now was not Wu Yu, but Prince You Yan. This was his own
killing move, and now turned on him. He was a little at a loss.
Just like the others, he had not expected such a situation. His
eyes were wide, his face full of disbelief. As the user of the
Gritty Netherworldly Void Design, he knew better than anyone
just how formidable the black dragon was!
In this critical moment, he had to use his life-saving technique!
"Damn it!" He was reeling from the shock, and the grim look
on his face told that his anger had escalated to a new echelon.
He not only felt anger, but also a tinge of fear at the possibility
of losing.
Just like Duan Yi, he had never considered the notion of
defeat. Therefore, this hiccup had rebounded as huge
pressure. However, the difference between Duan Yi and
Prince You Yan was that Prince You Yan would grow even more
aggressive in the face of such pressure!
"10,000 Spectral Transformations!"

Another ultimate mystique unleashed. He was already

prepared after seeing Duan Yi defeated last time. He did not
want Wu Yu to throw another spanner into the works!
10,000 Spectral Transformations was a top-tier mystique of
the Dark North royal family, and only the most talented could
cultivate it successfully.
Prince You Yan was the strongest of all who had cultivated this
mystique.
At this moment, it was as though a road to the hells of the Dark
North Kingdom had opened. From the portal, mist shrouded
his body and then fused into it. This caused a monumental
transformation. Firstly, his body was fortified, his skin, flesh,
bones, and every other part beginning to transform.
Soon, Prince You Yan was covered in black scale armor, and
had sharp claws as well. His powerful arms transformed him
into a battle monster!
And on his back was a pair of robust flesh wings. The wings
were mounted on a sharp skeletal frame, and they were like
two huge blades. He looked a little like a bat, and each beat of
his wings caused the entire Dark North Imprisonment to
thrum!
As Wu Yu counterattacked, Prince You Yan had hurriedly used
this Spectral Transformation to become this hellish beast! In
the next instant, his huge wings were folded protectively
before him, an impregnable defense that absorbed the
mystical dragon.
Prince You Yan used one wing to defend Wu Yu's counter,
while the other wing slashed out a riposte that intended to cut
the mystical dragon in half!
Two huge beasts grappled in the sky. The entire Dark North
Imprisonment shook with the impact, mountains and rivers
breaking down. If this were the actual Dark North Kingdom,
they would have wrecked half of it!
Prince You Yan had now calmed down after the initial panic. In
the Dark North Imprisonment, he continued to draw from an
endless stream of power, and managed to mitigate the
offensive spirit design that had once been his.
Finally, he sliced the black mystical dragon into bits before Wu
Yu's eyes.
However, even so, he was panting heavily. He looked
extremely fatigued. If not for the 10,000 Spectral
Transformations, he would be six feet under!
The developments of the battle between Prince You Yan and
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar was truly shocking!
They still did not know that Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar
had grown this strong in just the last couple of days. They were
laboring under the impression that his avatar had always been
this strong.
Therefore, they felt that Wu Yu was indeed more than meets
the eye!
"I can't believe that his real power is actually on par with
Prince You Yan. That means that thing is one of the strongest
among the 1,000 competitors!"
"This person has great depths! He actually hid it until the last
day! Luckily, Prince You Yan did not run into his attack, and
successfully defrayed his attack. Otherwise, he would be in
trouble now! This Wu Yu is far beyond our expectations!"
"Before this, I felt that he had many tricks in his arsenal. It
looks like this vampire-like avatar of his is the real terror. It's
actually stronger than his real body!"
Everyone had fallen into an admiring attitude towards Wu Yu.
Perhaps only the battered Prince You Yan was driven to the
utter limit of his rage at this time, and was entirely consumed
by it.
But Prince You Yan did not let down his elders outside. He held
on, and again pressed Wu Yu!
Chapter 784: 3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds Imperial Sword
Wu Yu had created a miracle once again. At this point, the
people were already numb to it!
His Heaven Devouring Avatar had surprised the numerous
people who held interest in him. In their minds, Wu Yu was
constantly surpassing their expectations. At this point, he had
reached an exceptional level!
An existence like Wu Yu, who had come from a deserted place,
had demonstrated various mystical means. What he had
shown was hard to come by even once in 100,000 years. At the
very least, those present had never heard of or seen someone
do what he was capable of. A young man who had just reached
the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm was capable of so
many transformations! Wu Yu's opponents had naturally
gained a level of fear and respect. At this point, they no longer
seemed certain that Prince You Yan would hand Wu Yu a heavy
defeat.
The deeply frustrated Prince You Yan didn't disappoint the
crowd. When Wu Yu broke his previous mystique and left him
in dire straits, he perked himself up regardless of the fatigue
he felt. This time, he draped the Dark North Cartograph over
his body. Those mountains and rivers seemed to have
assimilated into his skin, and he maintained his 10,000
Spectral Transformations state. With the Dark North
Cartograph over him, huge changes started occurring all of a
sudden. In Wu Yu's eyes, he seemed to have transformed into
a ghostly immortal from hell, and everything was under his
control. Eerie devilish aura filled the surroundings, and his
deafening, angry roar sent chills down everyone's spines!
The killing intent within his eyes had now reached the
maximum capacity. Even those not involved in this would feel
as though they had lost half their lives with just a glance. At
this point, his eyes were locked keenly onto Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar!
"You forced me into this. If I can't defeat you with what I
showed previously, this will be the only option. If you lose your
life in the process, it won't be my fault. All you can blame is
yourself for asking for it!
"Truth be told, Wu Yu, I really feel that you are wildly talented,
with unfathomable skills. You have surprised us over and over
again, and your future is immeasurable. Regardless, you are
insulting us by competing for glory with our Dark North Tribe.
We will never allow this!"
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar had only shown a little of
what he was capable of, yet Prince You Yan was in such a
wretched state!
The truth was, he had now been driven into a corner and had
to risk all he had. After all, he had used both of his advanced
dao treasures and yet was unable to finish Wu Yu off!
Prince You Yan had released his full strength. When the Dark
North Cartograph covered his entire body, he had no way to
stop the Dark North Imprisonment.
All of a sudden, the mountains shook, the rivers trembled, and
the sky was collapsing. Everything was converted into a stream
of purplish air that flowed towards Prince You Yan. It gathered
around his body and became his strength!
He held the Titan Sword of Grit and Starlight with both of his
hands and had executed his 10,000 Spectral Transformations.
With two great advanced dao treasures and various other
forces and mystiques stacking up in one body, this was Prince
You Yan's ultimate trump card. It had been many years since
he had entered this state!
Prince You Yan had now reached a new height. The confidence
Wu Yu had gained with his Heaven Devouring Avatar was
suppressed once again. Prince You Yan had once again made
Wu Yu doubt if his Heaven Devouring Avatar could withstand
an attack from him!
If he couldn't, a dao treasure like the Dark North Royal Obelisk
would soon be beyond his reach, as well as the numerous
rewards! The large number of Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills
and merits would have allowed him to buy many things!
Both of them had reasons to never be defeated, and there
would only be one victor and loser. Therefore, for the final
victory, both of them had reached their pinnacle state. Prince
You Yan was the first to strike.
"3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds Imperial Sword!"
Prince You Yan let out a furious cry, lifted the Titan Sword of
Grit and Starlight, and swung down abruptly from the highest
point.
All of a sudden, layers and layers of shadow worlds surfaced
before Prince You Yan. The shadow worlds were all identical
Dark North Kingdoms, and they appeared to be built on the
Titan Sword of Grit and Starlight.
When he came down with these worlds, those 3,000 worlds
were shattering and collapsing at a frightening pace. The most
terrifying part was that as each world sunk into chaos and
collapsed, an immense destructive force was created and
consolidated on the Titan Sword of Grit and Starlight. The
3,000 minor worlds were constantly shattering and collapsing
in this manner.
This resulted in an exceptionally frightening power gathered
on Prince You Yan's advanced dao treasure. When he slashed
towards Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar, it was just like the
descent of the god of death. Compared to before, he was
countless times more gruesome.
Even more catastrophic energy swept across. The insane
speed of propagation made it impossible to hide. Before the
momentum of the energy wave, Wu Yu appeared extremely
fragile. Even his main body was sucked into this attack!
What he saw from his perspective was the shattering of 3,000
worlds. Each shattered world was twisted into chaotic and
destructive forces. With the direction of the Titan Sword of
Grit and Starlight, the forces formed a ray of sword glow that
penetrated towards Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar!
Even Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar could feel an intense
threat of death looming over his head!
This wasn't a good sign as even the Heaven Devouring Avatar
felt like he would be obliterated by this. This proved that the
destructiveness of the attack might exceed the limits of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar. In fact, it might very well be over!

However, Wu Yu had no other option. His Heaven Devouring

Avatar wasn't the main body, so it couldn't escape instantly
and jump out of the other party's control.
He could only endure this attack. If the other party was
relentless, his devouring desire would be a lot more intense.
This was because Prince You Yan had infuriated him, similar to
a prey angering a starving predator!
The killing wouldn't stop and the sword qi was glaring. Prince
You Yan's strike alarmed the crowd, and the 800,000 people
were impressed. It was as though they had truly seen the
destruction of Wu Yu. Many people felt that this was a shame.
This was because from what Wu Yu had shown thus far, this
battle was a classic. At the very least, Wu Yu had enough
strength to go against Prince You Yan!
The ultimate battle!
Before the sword qi, Wu Yu's long, white hair was dancing in
the wind. His demonic appearance didn't change in the
slightest to the astonishment of everyone. His eyes left an
even deeper impression and the intensity of the blood-red
eyes seemed to suggest that they were a sea of blood!
To his astonishment, a roar resembling the cry of a huge beast
came from his small body and completely overwhelmed Prince
You Yan's voice. Just this cry alone shook the Dark North
Imprisonment and even reached the far corners of the Ghost
Sea Prison, sending fear through the minds of other
participants who heard it. This wasn't the cry of a human! It
resembled that of a terrifying wild beast!
Before the eyes of the crowd, the Heaven Devouring Avatar
reacted simply. Similar to the previous time, the entire body
separated and turned into black smoke. This time, the black
smoke didn't expand largely, but congregated into a sphere,
becoming a black vortex. The black vortex circled at a frenzied
speed. Visible to their naked eye, they could see the
surrounding light, mountains, trees, and everything else being
pulled towards the vortex and eventually getting sucked into
it. All of a sudden, the Dark North Imprisonment also
experienced intense ripping force. The vortex grew larger and
larger, and within a short period, the area around Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar had become an empty region. All
the mountains, rivers, trees, earth, air, and even light were
sucked in. The entire world was thrown into chaos instantly.
This was Wu Yu pushing his Heaven Devouring Avatar's ability
to its limit and the resulting change!
This was what Wu Yu had thought of to break the other party's
3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds Imperial Sword and his last
ditch attempt. He had completely forgotten all others. He only
had one thing in mind, and that was to release the power of
devouring and go for the kill!
The shifts in momentum in the battle had made many people
believe it would only get more interesting as the battle went
on. Things progressed within the expectation of the crowd.
When the sword qi of the 3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds
Imperial Sword entered the Heaven Devouring Avatar, the
chaos that was induced instantly shredded the entire Dark
North Imprisonment apart.
Wu Yu and Prince You Yan were back in the Ghost Sea Prison.
However, this clash had not ended. Wu Yu was currently using
his Heaven Devouring Avatar to suppress the sword qi. As for
the other party, he was using the sword qi to tear Wu Yu apart.
The sword qi was several times more potent than the Gritty
Netherworldly Void Design from before.
Within Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar, the sword qi
exploded into 10,000 swords. At this juncture, they were
swooping, zooming, and penetrating the body at frenzied
speeds. Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar was in tatters, and
a large number of rays of sword qi were still piercing out of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar before entering again.
This inflicted severe damage to Wu Yu. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar could be injured, and the body wasn't truly
indestructible. Therefore, when the rays of chaotic sword qi
were ripping his body apart relentlessly and his devouring
ability couldn't suppress the mystique of the other party
instantly, the exhaustion on him was a huge blow. If this
exhaustion carried on, his Heaven Devouring Avatar would
weaken and shrink. In the end, he would have to devour more
to return to his current cultivation level.
If this happened after he defeated his opponent, Wu Yu would
be more than happy. This was because his Heaven Devouring
Avatar would once again be perfectly under his control.
However, his opponent was still releasing spine-chilling
destructive force. Therefore, Wu Yu had to be more resolute
than him. His Heaven Devouring Avatar had completely
entered a maniacal state. This was the dao of his physical
body. His mental fortitude and willpower were fusing with the
devouring desires of the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
When the two resilient wills fused together, Wu Yu instantly
gained an unwavering confidence. Even though the Heaven
Devouring Avatar was under huge duress, he hung on
desperately. This was because as long as he persevered, the
one having to endure these rays of catastrophic sword qi after
this wouldn't be him.
Chapter 785: A Man of Impeccable Talents
"I don't believe you are capable of returning everything to
me!" Prince You Yan was at ease now. When he released the
3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds Imperial Sword, he was
extremely exhausted. However, it was not to the point where
he couldn't even watch Wu Yu suffer.
This mystique, after being used together with the two
advanced dao treasures, had utterly exhausted his Violet
Kingdom Primordial Energy.
Looking at those rays of sword qi zooming past into the sky
and earth, Prince You Yan felt assured.
He seemed to have seen himself crowned a hero, basking in
the cheers and endearment of the crowd, gaining the respect
of those elite existences in the kingdom. In fact, he had even
seen his father placing him in important roles in the future.
He has desired these things since young.
Currently, amid the wretched prison of the Dark North
Kingdom, he seemed to have heard raucous cheer. All of a
sudden, he laughed out subconsciously.
Obviously, he had the capital to laugh. Now that they were
back in the Ghost Sea Prison, everyone could see Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar exhausted by those rays of razor-
sharp sword qi, whether he was dead or alive was unknown.
However, Prince You Yan was confident and at ease. The
outcome of the battle was easy to tell. Wu Yu suffering an
overwhelming loss or even dying in battle would just be a
matter of time.
"Competing against me? Why don't you look at what you are
first! A ruffian from the Demon Sealing Continent! If not for
the fact that you had a great, mysterious encounter, you
wouldn't be here today! I don't care how mysterious your
body is. From today onwards, everything belongs to me. As for
you, Wu Yu... Hehe...!"
Prince You Yan smiled with a depressed tone. In fact, the battle
had not ended for him. This was because Wu Yu's main body
had broken from the range of the sword qi. At this point, he
was staring from afar. He knew that Wu Yu's doppelganger
definitely didn't have the means to escape. Therefore, after
the doppelganger was erased, dealing with Wu Yu's main body
would be an extremely easy task.
Previously, he had checked out the capabilities of the main
body and came to the conclusion that the difference was stark.
As long as Wu Yu didn't run away, he could crush Wu Yu as he
wished. He wasn't worried that Wu Yu would escape. The vow
that he had made previously wouldn't be put into effect if Wu
Yu were to escape. If that happened, Wu Yu's appearance
today would be completely meaningless.
At this juncture, he locked eyes with Wu Yu's real body.
Wu Yu looked at him coldly.
Highly confrontational!
The only uncertainty was within the ball of black mist of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar. Currently, under the illumination of
the sword qi, the black mist was starting to dissipate, being
completely destroyed!
“Did I fail?”
The truth was, he had not. Under Wu Yu's perseverance,
although the sword qi was still chaotic, Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar had still converted a portion of the sword qi
from the 3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds Imperial Sword into
his own after an intense stalemate!
Only the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast was capable of this!
Wu Yu's will had a limit to what he could endure as well. When
he fused with the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, this created
an almost indestructible body. This time, Prince You Yan's
attacks were simply too powerful. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar couldn't convert them completely. However, given the
current circumstances, converting half would be sufficient!
When Prince You Yan was smiling mockingly, Wu Yu had
completed this step amidst intolerable pain and misery.
Changes happened at this very moment.
Smiles were appearing on the faces of the Dark North Tribe
initially. Just as they thought this was the end, all of a sudden,
changes happened to their astonishment!
The black vortex of the Heaven Devouring Avatar suddenly
started shrinking before spinning in the opposite direction.
The rotation accelerated abruptly and several thousand rays
of black sword qi were shot out. With speed similar to before,
the target was Prince You Yan. Those rays of black sword qi
carried the catastrophic force from the collapsed worlds
imbued within and were exploding at all times. However,
Prince You Yan could not control this sword qi!
This was just a portion that had pierced into the Heaven
Devouring Avatar before!
The remaining half was still ravaging in the Heaven Devouring
Avatar. When Wu Yu gritted his teeth, converted the rays of
sword qi, and sent them back, the remaining sword qi also
launched their counterattacks. His exhausted Heaven
Devouring Avatar was smashed into smithereens directly.
Boom!
The crowd was watching with anticipation when that black
vortex dispersed, turned into black mist, and a large part was
flushed away by the seawater.
This was what everyone had anticipated. However, it was also
this period that made everyone more flustered. What they
saw was Wu Yu making a counterattack just before the Heaven
Devouring Avatar was destroyed. Moreover, the scale of the
counterattack far exceeded the previous time. Although only
half the sword qi remained, it was still more terrifying than the
Gritty Netherworldly Void Design!
What made the rest helpless was that Prince You Yan was
currently at his most fatigued condition. He wouldn't have
much strength to resist. Luckily, he was still in the 10,000
Spectral Transformations state. Otherwise, his body would’ve
been pierced by thousands and thousands of sword qi and he
would definitely have died.
"No!"
Prince You Yan's expression was deathly pale. After a surprised
cry, all he could do was flee and execute various dao
techniques. The moment he created a huge, pitch-black shield
with a dao technique, the dao shield was penetrated by
thousands of rays of black sword qi instantly!
Hula!
At least 1,000 rays of sword qi pierced his body completely and
took a large amount of blood along them! All of a sudden,
Prince You Yan was drenched in blood!
"Hmm..." Prince You Yan's 10,000 Spectral Transformations
disappeared instantly and he returned to his original state.
However, he was now drenched in blood and looked deathly
pale. He had been injured by his own move. The destructive
force of the 3,000 Minor Worlds still lingered within his body,
causing the insides of his body to constantly collapse. If this
were allowed to continue, his flesh, tendons, and bones would
undergo incessant destruction!
Unless he could force these rays of sword qi out, he wouldn't
recover, regardless of how many great immortal medicines he
might have. He also wouldn't be capable of continuing the
battle. In other words, Prince You Yan was gravely injured
now! The hundreds of people around and even several
thousand doppelgangers of Wu Yu would likely be able to send
him to the afterlife!
Those rays of sword qi were still penetrating and collapsing his
internal organs. Each collapse felt like his flesh was exploding.

"I...." Prince You Yan was dazed. He wanted to cry, but no tears
were shed, as he was completely stunned. He thought that he
was dreaming, but the excruciating pain from his body shook
his entire body and let him know that this had nothing to do
with a dream....
It wasn't just here. Outside the Ghost Sea Prison, it was
complete silence. The Dark North Tribe members were staring
blankly at the Shadowers, completely in denial of what they
had seen. They would rather believe that what they were
seeing on the Shadowers were illusions. No one was willing to
see their Prince You Yan giving all he could and yet come out
on the losing end....
At the very least, Wu Yu's main body was still around, while
Prince You Yan had completely lost to the Heaven Devouring
Avatar's counterattack. He couldn't even stand firmly right
now and had lost all battle capacity. When he left the place,
he would still need emergency help from others to help expel
the 3,000 Shattered Minor Worlds Imperial Sword inside him!
Wu Yu looked around and saw the pale and unbelievable faces
of those around him. He found this hilarious, and he knew that
people like them were definitely not the minority.
Today, he had exceeded his limits once again and completed a
seemingly impossible challenge.
Just as he had envisioned, it was completely silent outside.
Despite the huge crowd, the area was blanketed in silence.
However, one could hear an ear-piercing clap soon after. It
was Qu Yin who was clapping. He abruptly stood up from his
seat in agitation and sighed emotionally. "A man of
tremendous talent! This is interesting! A talent like him might
not even come once in 100,000 years. After today, his name
will definitely reach the entire Jambu Realm! From here
onwards, everyone in this world will know about Wu Yu. His
guts and means displayed today have impressed me
completely! Impressive!"
Those from the Yan Huang Ancient Country seconded this, and
they stood up and clapped as well. Although the claps weren't
coming from a lot of people, they were exceptionally grating
to the ears. The expressions of the Dark North Tribe members
were extremely gloomy, but they didn't refute the remarks.
After all, the current situation of Prince You Yan was a clear
testament that Wu Yu had achieved victory. He had stepped
on Prince You Yan to ascended to a new height, obtaining a
million Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills and the Dark North
Royal Obelisk that many had coveted!
Wu Yu's main body wasn't suited to use an extremely chilling
sword like the Dark North Royal Obelisk. It would clash with
his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy and physical strength.
However, he now had his Heaven Devouring Avatar. The
Heaven Devouring Avatar didn't have an elemental affinity
and was simply a coagulation of energy. As long as Wu Yu's
main body could conquer the Dark North Royal Obelisk, it
shouldn't be a problem for him to then allow his Heaven
Devouring Avatar, who shared the same Primordial Spirit, to
use it. If his Heaven Devouring Avatar could master the Dark
North Royal Obelisk, Wu Yu's future battle prowess would be
even more anticipated....
The ear-piercing claps from the Yan Huang Ancient Country
people had announced that Wu Yu was certain to come out
top! No one would refute this.
Those from the Dark North Tribe finally found some
consolation. While everyone was staring blankly at Wu Yu's
main body and the crowd was blanketed in silence, someone
shouted, "Although Prince You Yan was injured at the crucial
moment by Wu Yu's underhanded attack, Wu Yu's losses are
even greater. That avatar of his that is even stronger than the
main body was killed by Prince You Yan and will never appear
again. The current Wu Yu is at the level of Duan Yi at most! In
other words, Prince You Yan has destroyed his greatest capital.
In the future, Wu Yu will never have such a lustrous
performance. Moreover, the battle has not ended yet. Who's
to say that Prince You Yan can't kill Wu Yu’s main body?"
These words drew the support of many other people.
"You are right! Without that avatar, Wu Yu wouldn't amount
to anything!"
"Perhaps that avatar is the main body and the Wu Yu we are
seeing is just an avatar. Perhaps Wu Yu might be dead now and
that avatar will dissipate soon!"
"The victor of this battle might still be Prince You Yan. The
people from the Yan Huang Ancient Country got excited a little
too early!"
The Dark North Tribe people started spreading these
thoughts, and more and more people started to believe these
comments.
Just as they thought they had found some solace, an incident
that shut them up occurred. They looked at Wu Yu’s
Shadower. All of a sudden, they saw a ball of black mist
forming beside Wu Yu. The mist suddenly transformed into a
Wu Yu with white hair and red eyes. Although he looked a little
frail and dullish, he was still alive.
They were all wrong. This avatar hadn't died at all and only
looked like he was injured.
It was indeed so. After sustaining injuries, the Heaven
Devouring Avatar had reverted to the level of an eighth tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivator. All his efforts over
the last 20 days or so were in vain. However, this was great
news for Wu Yu as his main body no longer felt the pressure
of mental instability.
However, this fact was too brutal for the Dark North Tribe....
Chapter 786: Fearless Storm
The Wu Yu with black hair and black eyes and the Wu Yu with
white hair and red eyes appeared together, one standing to
the left and the other on the right. They had identical
appearances but entirely different dispositions and aura.
For others, this was definitely a shocking visual impact.
Obviously, their mental states were hit the hardest.
It was brutal.
The Dark North Tribe members outside were discussing with
excitement when they believed that Prince You Yan had
extinguished Wu Yu's hopes. However, when they saw the Wu
Yu with white hair and red eyes, they felt like a knife was slicing
through their hearts.
Even though their cultivation levels were higher, they were
aggrieved and couldn't say a word. Some were even on the
verge of tears.
For the Dark North Tribe, it was rare to suffer such a heavy
blow.
Looking at the circumstances, Wu Yu had completely
triumphed over Prince You Yan. When Prince You Yan saw Wu
Yu's avatar appearing beside him, his expression turned even
more ghastly.
At this point, he couldn't mumble a single word. When Duan
Yi lost before, he had insulted Duan Yi. Now he was
experiencing the same feelings as Duan Yi.
Feelings of bitterness, melancholy, and aggrievement,
together with the collapse of his inner pride and the
destruction and damage to his dao - all of this accumulated in
his heart.
Perhaps since he was born as a prince, he had never ever
suffered such a huge setback. Someone who was a ruffian in
his eyes had now defeated him openly. Moreover, Wu Yu was
able to walk away in one piece. All of a sudden, he felt like
everything he had was collapsing.
"You Yan."
His brothers and sisters and other Dark North Tribe
participants around him crowded forward.
Looking at how Prince You Yan was, they were a little fearful
of the aftermath.
Luckily, they weren't the ones fighting with Wu Yu.
Otherwise, they would be the ones in the same state as Prince
You Yan.
Among them, only Prince You Yang was confident that he was
a little stronger than Prince You Yan. Nonetheless, he believed
that his outcome would’ve been the same as Prince You Yan’s
even if he had fought Wu Yu.
He patted the shoulder of Prince You Yan and said, "Don't take
this too harshly. It would be the same regardless who it was.
It isn't a problem with you. It is just that this man is too demon-
like and hard to deal with."
With the end of this battle, even Prince You Yang was a little
convinced of Wu Yu's strength.
As for the rest, it was the same, despite none of them voicing
it out.
They were bitter and felt like crying.
Within the Ghost Sea Prison, there was still a substantial
number of people engaging in last minute frenzied killings of
demons. For those that had gathered here, some decided to
leave after seeing the end of the show. Only the most elite
people were left behind.
Wu Yu was no longer hiding the existence of his Heaven
Devouring Avatar. He stared at the group of people and said,
"Since the battle has been decided, I hope everyone will keep
to their promise, as agreed. I've defeated Prince You Yan and
have the rights to compete for first place in the Dark North
Battle for Supremacy. I hope everyone can do this openly and
recognizes the fair outcome. All of you should know that the
Dong Sheng Divine Continent is where my roots are. Please
don't ever doubt my conviction to protect and defend the
Dong Sheng Divine Continent. A cultivator should be upright
and honest, rather than act sneakily. Please remember this!"
After speaking, he no longer had a purpose here. Otherwise,
he would just make the rest feel worse.
Therefore, after saying what he wanted, Wu Yu disappeared
from the crowd's sight with his Heaven Devouring Avatar on
the Somersault Cloud.
This time, no one attempted to stop him. Everyone had taken
a huge emotional blow.
"If we don't ally together, we might not be able to stop him.
I'm still thinking of killing him right here and right now." Prince
You Yang heaved a sigh.
"Yeah. His skillset is too complete. Within the Ghost Sea
Prison, we have no option but to admit we can't do anything
to him unless he attacks us first. However, us using the Dong
Sheng Divine Continent to threaten him has gotten out. We
can no longer use the same method. Otherwise, we would
look too unscrupulous."
Wu Yu, to a large extent, had restricted them. The first aspect
was the deadly oath, and the other was the public opinion on
them.
This was because rumors of this incident would definitely be
spread. At that time, the entire Jambu Realm would know that
they had used this as a threat to stop Wu Yu from getting first
place. If they insisted on exacting revenge, their morals would
be deemed too lowly.
If the entire world were to condemn such despicable acts, they
really couldn't do anything about it.
Wu Yu had given them a huge opportunity today, but they
hadn't grabbed it. On the contrary, Wu Yu had ascended by
stepping over them. Now they were a little convinced about
their defeat.
This wasn't just a defeat in terms of strength. It was also a
crushing mental defeat.
"How hilarious! If we let a person like him get first in the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy, we will be vilified by history and
mocked by others for a long time, right?" Gu Haochen
remarked helplessly.
Yuan Qinqiong still couldn't accept the fact. At this point, he
lowered his head, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Rest
assured. Even if we can't kill him now, our elders outside will
definitely not let him off. What he has stirred up is no longer
within the range where You Xue can offer him safe harbor. Wu
Yu's name is now known by many, but he will definitely not
live long!"
"Regardless, seeing Wu Yu's stunning performance this time,
no one will blame us," said Princess You Xuan.
She also consoled Prince You Yan for a while. However, Prince
You Yan just kept his head down and didn't say a word. He
probably wouldn't recover from his current state any time
soon.
This was the reality and also the end.
There was little time left on the last day. After leaving the
battle, Wu Yu remained alone for some time. Soon, he heard
someone announcing the end of the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy.
At the highest part of the Ghost Sea Prison, light started
shining into the pitch-black darkness. The light was connected
to the outside world, and it was coming from where Wu Yu
and the rest had entered.
Seeing the light, everyone had to leave as soon as possible. If
anyone chose to continue killing demons to get Dead Souls
Nets, that would be against the rules and that person would
be punished. Wu Yu naturally had no need to commit such
acts.
Together with the rest, everyone headed to the source of light.
When he was approaching the source of light, the rest were in
the vicinity. Some had left directly, and Wu Yu happened to
bump into the princes and princesses.
He didn't say a word and left directly.
After emerging from the bottom of the water and landing on
the black crystal floor, he finally saw the sun again.
Above his head, he saw the sun. His Eyes of Fire and Gold
hadn't basked in the sun in a long time. Therefore, when he
came out, he started absorbing the heat from the sun above
his head frenziedly to fill himself up.
His eyes were burning with golden flames all of a sudden.
Before the gazes of the crowd, his Heaven Devouring Avatar
was standing beside him. At this point, Wu Yu couldn't put him
into the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Otherwise, he definitely
wouldn't let this avatar be exposed before such a huge crowd.
"I'm out."
Wu Yu squinted. The sunlight that had gathered in his eyes was
truly too intense right now. Over this period, he couldn't get a
clear look. Vaguely, he saw countless people around him, and
the majority of the 800,000 people were still seated.

He could vaguely sense from them that they had seen him.
Therefore, there was a disproportionately huge number of
gazes focused on him.
This was a stark contrast to when he was entering. At that
time, not many people were watching him.
At this point, even though the princes and princesses were
coming out one after another, not many people paid attention
to them. The majority of the crowd was still staring at Wu Yu.
These were 800,000 elite experts, well known and influential
figures of the Dark North Kingdom. Each province could only
send a small number of people and therefore the majority
were from the Dark North Capital.
While staring at Wu Yu, they intentionally exerted pressure on
him. Therefore, the pressure Wu Yu was facing was
unprecedented!
"I have embarrassed the Dark North Tribe, so it's only natural
that the majority of them bear a grudge against me. Therefore,
their gazes are all filled with hatred!"
If Wu Yu had come out after a defeat, he wouldn't have had to
stand up against this mental pressure.
However, he hadn't been defeated this time. He had broken
through his limits and defeated Prince You Yan. This was the
moment when he felt he was the strongest!
The pride in his heart was at its strongest point. There would
be nothing that could intimidate him at this point.
Therefore, even before the 800,000 gazes focused on him, he
resisted them resiliently. His spirit was as intense as the flames
raging in his eyes.
Wu Yu looked around him and saw many eyes filled with
hatred.
These people couldn't wait to just kill him on the spot. Through
this experience, his mental state had undergone huge
changes. The entire Dark North Battle for Supremacy had
brought him huge rewards.
He had defeated Duan Yi and Prince You Yan consecutively.
Now that he was standing here and facing the numerous
vengeful gazes, his spirit was strengthened to the limit. His
strong stand instantly brought a huge leap in his dao level!
"Even though a million men might want to put me down, I
have no regrets or fear. With my heart, I'll break the souls of
my enemies and send fear down the spines of all those that
belittle me! This is my dao!"
This experience had left Wu Yu even more immersed in his
own dao.
Vaguely, he had a sudden enlightenment!
The sudden enlightenment pushed him into a new level
instantly. He could clearly sense the advancement
strengthening his Primordial Spirit right now!
If it had gone as he expected, the clashes of gazes and his
outstanding performances in the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy had pushed him to an extent where he could
increase his cultivation level!
His Primordial Spirit was solidifying through the advancement
in dao. If he had Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills to enhance
his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy right now, his cultivation
level would likely be raised to the second tier directly!
When that time came, he would rapidly approach the level of
Prince You Yan and the rest. His Heaven Devouring Avatar
could also get a lot stronger!
If these people who were staring vengefully at Wu Yu knew
that it was their gazes that had incited his resistance and led
to his advancement in cultivation level, they would likely
regret their actions further.
Wu Yu was already the largest winner. And after coming out,
he had won even more!
When everyone was staring at him with vengeance, his dao
was raised to a new level. He was fearless and was left with a
resolute will at this point.
He only found these vengeful gazes a little hilarious.
Initially, he was a little worried when he came out. Right now,
he didn't have the slightest bit of fear. Regardless of the
number of experts around him, it wouldn't be sufficient to
intimidate him into forgetting that he was Wu Yu, the inheritor
of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal’s legacy!
Today, he had won!
He would dare to go against a sea of men, even if he had to do
it alone!
Chapter 787: Seeing the Sun Again
In one's lifetime, the more capable one was, the more likely
they were to have a moment of absolute incandescence,
blinding the eyes of the crowd.
For Wu Yu, this was exactly that moment.
The participants that had come out in advance with Darkness
Breaching Talismans were now separated around him. When
they came out, they watched the battles unfold through the
Shadowers.
Even though there were 1,000 people, the light shining on all
of them couldn't be compared with Wu Yu even if added
together.
He was receiving attention from hundreds of thousands of
people and the endless pressure that came with them. Even
after today, he would be the focus of the entire Jambu Realm.
At this moment, within the Dead Souls Prison, the end of the
Dark North Battle for Supremacy had instead brought silence
to the crowd.
Princess You Xue was the first to step forward and stand
beside Wu Yu. The truth was, Wu Yu hadn't told her his plans
for the last day clearly. While she was watching from the
outside, her heart was stuck in her throat as well.
Now that Wu Yu had emerged victoriously, she was euphoric.
The nervous and tensed up feelings had long subsided.
For Wu Yu to have such accomplishments, she was proud as
well.
Seeing both of them acting so closely, many people were
annoyed. It was especially so for the youths of the Dark North
Kingdom. Naturally, there were others that thought
differently. In fact, some even felt that although Princess You
Xue was part of the Dark North Tribe, if she could make Wu Yu
remain in the Dark North Kingdom wholeheartedly, the royal
family of the Dark North Kingdom would then likely allow her
to marry Wu Yu. Many members of the Dark North Tribe
would also be able to accept him.
After all, the current Wu Yu was completely different from the
past.
Amidst the silence, Prince You Shi finally appeared above the
crowd. At this moment, he was solemn and had a stern
expression. He announced, "The time is up and everyone is
out. since that's the case, I'll announce that this iteration of
the Dark North Battle for Supremacy has ended here! For now,
we are tallying the number of Dead Souls Nets before
releasing the final rankings and distributing the rewards! I
believe everyone knows that what's coming up next is the
most anticipated event!"
Although that's what he said, everyone could clearly tell. There
weren't many uncertainties. However, those rewards would
still make many people jealous and go crazy.
Prince You Shi didn't show any anger or happiness. However,
his words had managed to divert some attention from Wu Yu
to himself.
"Before this, based on the agreement we have with the
demons from the Dead Souls Sea Region, we will release those
qualified sea region demons that have successfully broken the
chains on them and gained the rights to leave through the
Dark North Battle for Supremacy. Based on the Darkness
Breaching Talismans they forced our participants to use since
the beginning of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy, a total
of 37 demons shall gain a chance for a new life! We will get
specialized people to escort them out of the Dark North
Kingdom and give them a chance to re-enter the Dead Souls
Sea Region."
When they were here, they were no different from prisoners.
The reason behind releasing them was to give hope to the
demons in the Ghost Sea Prison for the next Dark North Battle
for Supremacy. Only with hope would they possibly give their
all. Secondly, there were Dark North Kingdom citizens within
the Dead Souls Sea Region. Many of them were imprisoned by
the demons, and the sea region demons would use the same
means to train their younger generation. This was the only
hope for the Dark North Tribe members that were
imprisoned....
In a way, this was an agreement between the Dark North
Kingdom and the Dead Souls Sea Region.
As such, they were serious when it came to this matter and
would ensure that it was done correctly. The demons would
be sent to the Immortal City of Northern Frost today and the
sea region demons would send people to receive them.
These demons were also a short distance away from the
participants. At this point, they were euphoric and moved to
tears. The feeling of gaining a new life was too magical. The
Ghost Sea Prison was a nightmarish place for them. They had
finally made it out of this place.
"We are free...."
"This is what living truly means...."
"It's great to be alive."
"It's been years since I experienced the spiritual qi in the
outside world...."
"This is what cultivation means...."
Regardless how cold-blooded the demons might be, they were
all crying now. They had gathered and were crying in a group
while sharing the same predicaments.
Only one demon wasn't crying. He extended his arms, smiled
faintly, and enjoyed the atmosphere. Compared to the other
demons, he was too good-looking. Therefore, he felt a little
out of place.
That was none other than the Full Moon of Nanshan.
He really enjoyed being outside the prison. At this point, he
was pleasantly surprised and grinning vibrantly.
The truth was, weaker demons would find it easier to make it
out. As for the strong demons, they were assigned more
Darkness Breaching Talismans. Even though they were tough,
it was still really difficult to get dozens or even over 100
Darkness Breaching Talisman. This was because there were
only 1,000 participants, and every single one of them was a
genius in their own way with numerous means.
"These demons have all filled the quotas we set for them. You
guys may leave. Jiang Chenghua will escort them to the
Immortal City of Northern Frost," Prince You Shi announced.
They would enter a black metal cage and wouldn't be able to
escape temporarily during the escort to the boundless seas.
Only when they left the Dark North Kingdom would they be
released. At this moment, the demons were on cloud nine and
fighting to get into the black cage to be brought away by an
old man named Jiang Chenghua.
They naturally wouldn't act recklessly. They had a hard time
gaining the opportunity for a new life. If they were to act
recklessly now, they might lose their lives or be imprisoned
once again. That would not be wise at all. Therefore, they were
extremely obedient after entering the cage.
"No, I'm not getting in." To the astonishment of the crowd, a
dissenting voice sounded. At this point, all the other demons
had entered the black cage and were waiting to be
transported away. The Full Moon of Nanshan lifted both of his
arms and shouted to the surroundings. He wasn't the main
character of the day, but he had still attracted lots of attention
at this point.
"Get in now!" the old man controlling the black cage shouted
furiously. He had no patience for this at all.
The Full Moon of Nanshan shouted in a hurry, "To all respected
and dear cultivators and the nobles of the Dark North Tribe,
please listen to what I've to say. I'm not a demon from the sea
region, I am just an ordinary wild boar demon from within the
Dark North Kingdom. When I became a demon, I was leading
a carefree life within the forest and have never done anything
that harmed others. You can even see me as a citizen of the
Dark North Kingdom. In an unfortunate twist of fate, I was
wrongly captured by a senior in the Dark North Tribe and
misplaced into the Dead Souls Prison. I've gone through years
of misery and have finally gotten out. It wasn't easy at all...."

As he spoke, his amazing acting skills were on full display. He

was sobbing and mucus was flowing. Before Jiang Chenghua
could react, he continued, "I am not a demon from the Dead
Souls Sea Region. I have killed several demons from the Dead
Souls Sea Region in the Ghost Sea Prison. If you guys throw me
out, I will be ripped into pieces by them. Therefore, throwing
me out of the Dark North Kingdom would actually harm me....
Although I'm a demon, I'm also a citizen of the Dark North
Kingdom. I was born a demon in the Dark North Kingdom and
would like to die as one. Now that I can finally see the sun in
the sky, may I plead that you leave me a living option?"
As he spoke, he really cried out loud. He went on his knees and
wasn't reserved at all. However, it was understandable. For
the Full Moon of Nanshan, the current moment was the most
crucial. His future would be determined at this very moment,
and this was why he had chosen to help Wu Yu.
"Insolent!" Jiang Chenghua growled angrily and had no
patience to listen to him. The demons weren't the focus here,
this was simply a process. He wanted to bring them away
immediately. The Full Moon of Nanshan grabbing the
attention of the crowd here was no different from showing
disrespect to him.
Therefore, he wanted to strike immediately to pin the Full
Moon of Nanshan down.
To his astonishment, the Full Moon of Nanshan cried even
more heartbreakingly. In a wretched voice, he cried, "You can't
do this! You definitely can't do this to me! My heart has always
been with the Dark North Kingdom and I've always seen this
place as my home. Now that I've finally gotten a hard-earned
opportunity to live, I will definitely follow the rules. Everyone,
please don't send me out of the Dark North Kingdom. To show
my sincerity, I'm willing to follow a human martial cultivator
and serve him. I believe that the demons in the Dark North
Kingdom have a right to do this. After all, I'm not as savage as
the demons from the Dead Souls Sea Region. Everyone, please
allow me to follow a martial cultivator!"
His cries were indeed incredible, so much so that he had even
managed to turn attention to him from Wu Yu.
Many people turned to him with interest. The truth was, the
Full Moon of Nanshan was indeed incredible, and many people
had paid attention to him previously. Now that he had raised
a request like this, Prince You Shi was the first to hesitate. Soon
after, he asked, "Who would you like to follow?"
The truth was that he had just recalled the talents of the Full
Moon of Nanshan. Giving it deeper thought, such a talented
demon would be best to keep in the Dark North Kingdom.
Otherwise, if he headed to the Dead Souls Sea Region and
became a weapon to target the Dark North Kingdom, that
would be tragic.
Therefore, the Full Moon of Nanshan had his objectives largely
accomplished by now.
The Full Moon of Nanshan said with deep emotions, "I'd like
to follow Princess You Xue to be a competent servant. I'll like
to protect Princess You Xue and contribute my strength to her!
Princess You Xue, please agree to my request. This humble
demon here will definitely turn over a new leaf and see you as
my priority in everything!"
The truth was that he had been thrown into the Ghost Sea
Prison to make up the numbers. However, he couldn't say so
directly. Otherwise, he would be implying Prince You Shi had
failed in his management.
Princess You Xue?
Because of Wu Yu, her name was even more prominent. It was
just that there were too many people participating in the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy and therefore she was neglected.
However, the Full Moon of Nanshan raised her name at this
point once again.
This was something that Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan
had discussed previously. If he said he would like to follow Wu
Yu, they would likely not agree to the request. Princess You
Xue happened to be from the royal family. She could keep the
Full Moon of Nanshan and slowly study him.
When she noticed that everyone's attention was on her,
Princess You Xue nodded and said, "I met him when we were
in the Ghost Sea Prison. I learned about his tragic background
and heard the details. I'm not sure who the one responsible
for throwing a demon from the Dark North Kingdom into the
Ghosts Sea Prison to make up the numbers is. It wasn’t simple
just for him to escape. In that case, I'll allow him to follow me
from today onwards. I'll guide him well, and if he commits a
mistake, I'll be personally responsible. I'll also end him
personally."
"Thank you, Princess!" The Full Moon of Nanshan had gone all
out. Mucus and tears were streaming down as though his acts
were truly from the bottom of his heart....
The crowd exchanged gazes.
This was just a small matter. Even though there were many
comments, Prince You Shi wouldn’t bother with them. Now
that You Xue had spoken, and because he would like to
investigate the Full Moon of Nanshan, he made the decision
himself. He nodded and said, "Alright. From here onwards, you
will be the slave servant to You Xue. However, if I ever learn
that you have committed any wrongful deeds in my Dark
North Kingdom, I'll definitely let you experience an outcome
10,000 times worse. Do you understand?"
The Full Moon of Nanshan lowered his head and replied in
agitation, "I understand! I definitely understand!" The truth
was, the edge of his mouth had slowly curved into a smile.
He had succeeded.
Chapter 788: Place of Belonging
The Full Moon of Nanshan had finally fulfilled his dreams and
was naturally in high spirits. Obviously, he was an intelligent
demon and knew that he wasn't the main character today.
Therefore, he quickly moved beside Princess You Xue and
didn't make a sound. It would be better if fewer people paid
attention to him from this point onwards.
Now he finally had freedom.
The crowd watched the rest of the sea region demons enter
the cages obediently before being brought away by Jiang
Chenghua.
What came next was the most anticipated moment. That
would be the tallying of the Dead Souls Nets.
"When I read your name out loud, take out all your Dead Souls
Net." All the Dead Souls Nets had to be returned to the Dead
Souls Sea Region.
After the announcement by Prince You Shi, those participants
whose names were read stepped forward rapidly and handed
over the Dead Souls Nets that they had collected over the past
half a year. Prince You Shi probably read in the order from the
weakest to the strongest. Therefore, the participants at the
beginning had very few Dead Souls Net. Some even had zero,
and they were those that were forced to use their Darkness
Breaching Talismans at the very beginning.
If one had to classify who would be embarrassed, these people
were probably at the top of the list.
For the past few iterations of Dark North Battle for Supremacy,
the current period would be the most nerve-wrecking. This
was because it wouldn't be possible for those outside to know
every single Dead Souls Net each participant obtained.
Therefore, those outside would only have a rough gauge of the
numbers.
In the past, there would be some uncertainties among the top
10.
However, it was different this time. The greatest uncertainty
over who would be the champion had cleared up a long time
ago.
Wu Yu's name was read at the beginning as well. Prince You
Shi had no intention of putting him at the very end. Currently,
the Dark North Tribe had lost all interest. If not for the fact that
many of them wanted to catch a glimpse of the Dark North
Royal Obelisk, they would likely have left the place already.
In the end, Prince You Shi announced with an emotional voice,
"Wu Yu, a total of 1,073 Dead Souls Nets." When this number
was announced, and looking at the two small mountains of
Dead Souls Nets before Wu Yu, the majority of the 800,000
spectators felt aggrieved. Obviously, there were some who
couldn't contain their amazement. At the very least, not a
single participant had reached this number in a long time.
Wu Yu had to thank the Full Moon of Nanshan for this.
At this moment, he exchanged a smile with the Full Moon of
Nanshan. His current success was actually the joint success of
both of them.
After roughly an hour, all the data was calculated. The
difference between Prince You Yang and Wu Yu was huge
despite him being second. Prince You Yan was third, Gu
Haochen was fourth, Princess You Xuan was fifth, Yuan
Qinqiong was sixth, Princess You Yu was seventh, and Jiang
Shangyue was eighth. Prince You Ying was ninth! The top 10
had basically been occupied by these princes, princesses, and
their partners. This was also a strong representation of the
dominance of the royal family in the Dark North Kingdom.
The only shame was that regardless how dominant they might
seem, the fact that Wu Yu had clinched first casted doubt on
the perception of their dominance. Not only had they failed to
show the dominance of the younger generation in the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy, but they also exposed their
incompetencies.
Therefore, although they had made it to the top 10, none of
them were happy about it. All of them lowered their heads and
didn't say a word. Besides them, Duan Yi was a short distance
away. Wu Yu noticed Duan Yi was looking at him. When Wu Yu
turned to him, he lowered his head instantly and didn't dare
to face Wu Yu directly.
This was a sign of complete defeat.
When Prince You Yang's data was verified, the numbers of
Dead Souls Nets that each of the 1,000 participants had were
now known. The crowd could calculate on their own to know
who would be in the top ten.
In the past, the entire Dark North Tribe would be exhilarated
at this moment. They would cheer, they would shout, and they
would scream the names of these people. However, the crowd
was cold and apathetic now. They were just waiting for Prince
You Shi to put an end to this formality.
Prince You Shi had indeed also picked up his speed. As for how
they wanted to deal with Wu Yu, they had to ponder deeply
and discuss. However, those rewards before tham had to be
given out.
"Number 10, step forward to collect your rewards!
"Number 9! Step forward to collect your rewards!" The
rewards for the top 10 were largely advanced dao treasure
and Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills. Moreover, the number
wasn't small.
The advanced dao treasures for the top three stood out even
more! Wu Yu wasn't concerned about what advanced dao
treasures the princes and princesses obtained. They each had
several elite advanced dao treasures already.
All he was concerned about was his Dark North Royal Obelisk.
The Dark North Royal Obelisk, a million Great Dao Primordial
Spirit Pills, and 500,000 merits!
The 500,000 merits were actually more useful than the million
Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills because he could use them to
buy many things in the Dark Sea Army. These were the internal
rewards from the Dark Sea Army.
The Dark Sea Army hoped to see their men doing well.
However, they had no wish to see Wu Yu clinching first.
The advanced dao treasures presented previously had drawn
envious looks from the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm
cultivators. When the Dark North Royal Obelisk was
presented, a loud ruckus erupted. The eyes of the crowd
widened as they stared at this legendary advanced dao
treasure of the Dark North Kingdom!
This treasure was also the desire of Prince You Yang and the
rest. Therefore, when the Dark North Royal Obelisk was
presented, their eyes widened. The advanced dao treasures
they had obtained moments ago were left aside. All of the top
ten participants had seen the Dark North Royal Obelisk as their
goal.
The only shame was that even the most confident Prince You
Yang had missed his opportunity to get it.
Wu Yu also saw the Dark North Royal Obelisk, and it was a little
beyond his expectations. This was an entirely black longsword.
It looked simple and direct and no different from an ordinary
wooden sword. With his naked eye, he couldn't see its
uniqueness. When he first saw it, he thought the other party
had taken some random dao treasure to fool him.

However, after taking a few more looks, he started to see the

extraordinary aspects of the Dark North Royal Obelisk. Many
people held their breaths upon sight. It was then that Wu Yu
started believing that this was the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
At the very least, the princes and princesses looked completely
engrossed while staring at the dao treasure.
The more they desired the Dark North Royal Obelisk, the more
they hated Wu Yu. The anger in their hearts couldn't be
quenched even till this point.
"Wu Yu receives the Dark North Royal Obelisk!" Prince You Shi
held the wooden longsword with both of his hands and
extended them over to Wu Yu. Wu Yu reached out instantly.
When his fingers contacted the Dark North Royal Obelisk, he
could instantly feel a stream of cold will.
This wasn't particularly chilling.
"This advanced dao treasure is truly reserved. Without a
master to trigger it, it is in a state of slumber. However, this is,
without a doubt, the most elite advanced dao treasure, one
exceptionally close to the level of a seraphic dao treasure.
Once you can subdue it, it will indeed have absolute strength.
Letting your Heaven Devouring Avatar using it would be really
appropriate," Ming Long complimented.
She was the expert and was indeed clearer about it. Wu Yu no
longer doubted the might of the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
After all, this was a precious treasure that many had desired
to obtain.
He could vaguely sense that his scorching hot body felt out of
place with the Dark North Royal Obelisk, despite it being still
in a state of slumber.
The other party seemed to be rejecting his fingers. Therefore,
when Wu Yu contacted it, his palm got colder and colder. The
Dark North Royal Obelisk also started shivering. These were
signs that it was awakening.
"From this, I can definitely expect a tedious process to form a
blood bond with this advanced dao treasure!" Wu Yu thought
to himself. He didn't start studying the Dark North Royal
Obelisk on the spot just because he was agitated. After seeing
that the Dark North Royal Obelisk was rejecting him, he put it
in his Sumeru Pouch instantly. As for the rest, although they
felt indignant to see the Dark North Royal Obelisk falling into
Wu Yu's hands, they could only watch from the sidelines.
"Here are a million Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills!" Next,
Prince You Shi handed the other reward to Wu Yu. As for the
500,000 merits, it wouldn't be given to him here. Instead, it
would only be given to him when he returned to the Dark Sea
Army. Nonetheless, the most likely scenario would be that
these 500,000 merits be recorded under Wu Yu's book
directly. Now he fully had the qualifications to become a dark
north general in the Dark Sea Army.
After all, he had sufficient strength and merits, with more to
spare. Becoming a dark sea general in the future wouldn't be
too difficult.
At this point, Prince You Shi officially announced, "After half a
year of intense killing, the Dark North Battle for Supremacy is
officially over. Congratulations to Wu Yu for obtaining the title
of Little Dark King. Everyone, let's gather back in this place in
10 years!"
Initially, there was a planned celebratory parade. However, it
was cancelled. The Dark North Tribe really couldn't find the
face to continue remaining here.
Prince You Shi looked around and said to the envoys from the
various large forces in the Yan Huang Ancient Region, "On
behalf of the Dark North Kingdom, I invite the various guests
to the Dark North Capital. We will definitely see to each guest
warmly."
Among the envoys, the most well known would be none other
than the Yan Dragon Army General, Qu Yin. He had been
waiting for this moment for a long time. At this point, he stood
up, and the attention of those around him naturally fell
towards him. They could see him clearing his throat, and he
said, "Since the Dark North Kingdom has treated us well and
the grand Dark North Battle for Supremacy had ended, we
should be taking our leave. We won't be heading to the Dark
North Capital. When our Yan Huang Ancient Country hosts a
grand event like this in the future, we will definitely invite our
friends from the Dark North Kingdom to spectate. We will
definitely receive everyone with the greatest formalities."
Prince You Shi nodded and said, "In that case, let me see you
guys off!"
Qu Yin smiled faintly and, before the eyes of the crowd, said,
"Before we leave, there's something we have to announce.
Everyone should know that Wu Yu is from Yan Huang Imperial
City on the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, a small city that our
Yan Huang Ancient Country has established in a faraway place.
In that case, that makes Wu Yu part of the Yan Huang Tribe.
Today, I'd like to extend a warm invitation to Wu Yu to return
to the Yan Huang Ancient Country with us. He will be raised
and protected by our Yan Huang Ancient Country. Next, I'd like
to apologize to Wu Yu on behalf of the Yan Huang Ancient
Country. After all, we have failed to provide you a safe
environment to grow. However, from today onwards, the Yan
Huang Ancient Country will definitely be your new home. Wu
Yu, let's return to the place with people sharing the same
bloodline as you! You and us share the same scorching
bloodline of the glorious Yan Huang. A chilling place like the
Dark North Kingdom truly doesn't suit you. This will restrict
your development. Moreover, the Dark North Tribe won't
truly see you as one of them, especially so after this
incident...."
Qu Yin didn't hold back on his words at all. After all, he had the
Yan Huang Ancient Country, which was capable of ruling the
entire world, as his backing. All the other kingdoms in the Yan
Huang Ancient Region would likely barely put up a resistance
against the Yan Huang Ancient Country even if they allied
together. The three continents that the Yan Huang Ancient
Country occupied were also the most prosperous lands in the
entire world.
Therefore, when they got serious, they wouldn't have to show
any respect to the Dark North Kingdom at all. He wanted Wu
Yu to think this through carefully.
Chapter 789: The Son-in-law of the Dark North Kingdom.
The truth was, he didn't have to say this explicitly. Wu Yu knew
that he was in a perilous situation in the Dark North Kingdom,
especially so after the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. The
Dark North Tribe would not recognize him. In this place where
he was regarded as an outsider, he would always be the target
of scorn.
Simply relying on Princess You Xue to protect him might have
worked in the past. However, the effects were uncertain now.
Therefore, he had planned to keep a low profile and focus on
increasing his strength for the near future.
After all, he had formed his Heaven Devouring Avatar and
obtained the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
What he had never expected was for Qu Yin to take such a
strong front in wanting to bring him back to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country.
If this matter wasn't handled well, it would be problematic.
He knew that he had just obtained the Dark North Royal
Obelisk and therefore the Dark North Tribe would definitely
not want him to just run away like this. Therefore, he kept
silent for now and was waiting to see how the Dark North Tribe
would react.
You Shang appeared beside Prince You Shi. They were now the
ones in charge of this place. Since it involved Wu Yu, You Shang
also showed himself.
They had long expected Qu Yin to come out with something.
The Dark North Tribe hated Wu Yu since he had embarrassed
them.
However, with recent events and the Dark North Royal Obelisk
falling into Wu Yu's hands, they would definitely feel aggrieved
if they had to watch blankly as Wu Yu left the place.
"We can't let Wu Yu leave!"
"If he leaves, the Dark North Royal Obelisk will never return to
us!"
"He came to our Dark North Kingdom and embarrassed us.
Now that he wishes to exit without paying a price? That's not
negotiable! Wu Yu definitely had a pact signed with the Yan
Huang Ancient Country to embarrass us!"
"The Yan Huang Ancient Country is so strong, yet they still
want to target us!"
"We definitely can't let Wu Yu leave like this."
In this aspect, their views were uniform.
Hearing the discussions breaking out among the Dark North
Tribe members and seeing unpleasant gazes thrown at him,
Qu Yin didn't feel any pressure. He smiled faintly, looked at Wu
Yu, and said, "Son, return to our territory. I know that came to
the Dark North Kingdom because you were worried no one
would protect you in the Yan Huang Ancient Country. Let me
promise you here. When you reach the Yan Huang Ancient
Country, I'll be the first one to protect you. In Yan Huang, you
can enjoy your freedom. That is your home. In that place, you
won't stick out and be hated by the rest. Moreover, Yan Huang
is the core of the entire world. That is the place where you can
truly soar. Although the Dark North Kingdom isn't bad at all, it
isn't suitable for you. Also, the competition here is slightly
lower as well. Lastly, after the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy, your Princess You Xue will find it hard to protect
you further. If you remain here, I believe there will be at least
100,000 people wishing to kill you."
As he spoke, he was watching the changes to Wu Yu's
expression. He didn't seem to care if the Dark North Kingdom
would reject the request. All he was concerned about was Wu
Yu.
The outcome now was beyond the expectations of the Dark
North Tribe. It was especially so after seeing the terrifying
performances that Wu Yu had displayed towards the end.
Those performances had proven that he had exceptional
value.
The higher the value, the more likely the Yan Huang Ancient
Country would reach in to grab Wu Yu. After all, Wu Yu was
part of the Yan Huang Tribe.
Qu Yin didn't leave an opportunity for others to speak. Instead,
he guided Wu Yu along and said, "Remember, when you were
in the Ghost Sea Prison, the princes and princesses even
threatened you with the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. Now,
let me tell you this. The Dong Sheng Divine Continent is the
territory of our Yan Huang Ancient Country. Part of our Yan
Dragon Army is stationed there right now. I'd like to see who
would dare to stir a storm in the territory of our Yan Huang
Ancient Country! You returning to Yan Huang is what everyone
is looking forward to. You are a man of tremendous talents
and a genius you only see every 100,000 years. I'm willing to
give my personal guarantee that if you return to Yan Huang,
you will definitely stand a chance of becoming an immortal in
the future! Our Yan Huang Ancient Country respects every
single genius. Even though you came from humble beginnings,
you will enjoy peerless standing and resources as long as your
potential is huge!
"Now the entire Yan Huang Ancient Country knows about you.
Everyone is waiting for me to bring you back to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country. You won't have to worry at all. I'm
announcing to the world right now. After you return to Yan
Huang, no one will dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, our Yan
Huang would lose the respect of all others in this world."
Hearing his claims, it would appear the Yan Huang Ancient
Country really wanted Wu Yu back, and this wasn't just the
idea of Qu Yin.
This was indeed a declaration to the world. Therefore, when
Qu Yin brought Wu Yu back, he couldn't just take Wu Yu for
research to snatch his legacy. If anyone in the Yan Huang
Ancient Country were to do so, they would be at the brunt of
public comments from the entire world as well.
The larger probability was that they wanted to raise Wu Yu. If
Wu Yu could maintain his current talents and strength, he
would just push the Yan Huang Ancient Country to greater
prosperity. As the strongest force in the Jambu Realm, they
probably had such foresight.
"Wu Yu, look around you. Look at how they are looking at you.
You have incurred the wrath of the crowd. Princess You Xue
will no longer be able to protect you. As for us, I'm able to give
my personal guarantee to the world that Yan Huang Ancient
Country will provide you absolute safety. What are you still
hesitating for?"
Qu Yin alone spoke constantly. He appeared sincere and had
taken a low ground. After all, he wasn't just ordering Wu Yu to
follow and disregarding Wu Yu's resistance.
Instead, he was trying to convince Wu Yu.
The truth was, Wu Yu didn't have an answer in his heart. For
him, whether to remain in the Dark North Kingdom or head
toward the Yan Huang Ancient Country was the toughest
question.
For him, remaining in the Dark North Kingdom would mean
constantly being hated. He could foresee the dangers, milder
competition, and fewer cultivation resources. For example, in
the Dark Sea Army, there weren't any dao techniques that
were suitable for him.
If he headed to Yan Huang Ancient Country, that would mean
more uncertain dangers. Competition would be more intense
as the people there were more frightening. Cultivation
resources would also be in more abundance, and most of them
should be suitable for Wu Yu. The key was that regardless of
what Qu Yin had promised, those uncertain dangers in Yan
Huang were still frightening to Wu Yu. Among which, what Wu
Yu was most worried about was Prince Le and the rest,
including Qu Fengyu, who was standing beside Qu Yin and
staring at Wu Yu coldly. Wu Yu didn't dare to look into the eyes
of this creepy person that had been resurrected after dying in
the Taigu Immortal Path.
Who knew if there was some earth-shattering secret within
her!

Obviously, he had never thought of coming to the Dark North

Kingdom initially. He had always wanted to head to Yan
Huang. It was just that he had exposed too many of his talents
and had no choice but to get Princess You Xue to protect him.
Cultivation in itself was a perilous journey.
Even when Wu Yu was in the Dark North Kingdom, he was
living each day in danger.
Qu Yin was waiting for Wu Yu's answer. As for You Shang and
Prince You Shi, they looked more flustered. They were trying
to think of a solution, but they realized that if Wu Yu thought
of leaving, they would have no means to keep Wu Yu here with
an open and fair reason. After all, Wu Yu wasn't part of the
Dark North Tribe, and the Dark North Royal Obelisk wouldn't
form a good reason. Otherwise, others would just think that
the Dark North Kingdom was a little too petty.
If they were to let Wu Yu leave, the losses of the Dark North
Kingdom today would only be even greater.
Just when the two brothers were feeling frustrated, the old
and coarse voice of Ancestor Yang came from above. The
sudden voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone. He
said, "Speaking of which, the Dong Sheng Divine Continent
can't really be considered a property of the Yan Huang Tribe.
Therefore, classifying Wu Yu as part of the Yan Huang Tribe
would be a little too far-fetched. Moreover, who's saying that
Wu Yu isn't part of our Dark North Tribe? Today, let me make
the decision and grant permission for the young couple to tie
the knot. Xue Er, let me represent your father to grant you
your wish. I'll let Wu Yu marry you and you guys can be dao
companions to each other. As such, Wu Yu will be the son-in-
law of our Dark North Kingdom and will naturally be part of
the Dark North Tribe."
When everyone heard Ancestor Yang, discussions started
breaking out! Their eyes widened with disbelief.
"How can we let our princess marry an outsider? There's no
such precedent in our Dark North Kingdom!"
"He would only taint the bloodline of our Dark North Tribe.
How can we allow this!? Ancestor Yang is too...."
Obviously, there were also those who agreed. "This is the only
way of keeping Wu Yu. Moreover, this is the best solution to
solve the problem! Everyone, think about it. Once Wu Yu
becomes the son-in-law, he will truly be part of our Dark North
Tribe. At the very least, the Dark North Kingdom will be his
home and the Dark North Royal Obelisk would still belong to
our Dark North Tribe. Moreover, even though he obtained first
place, that will be the son-in-law of the Dark North Kingdom
that won first place. We won't have to be embarrassed at all.
Every single one in the top 10 will be from the royal family!"
"You are right! Moreover, we have a few princesses to start
with. Although there wasn't a precedent, one princess married
to Wu Yu isn't a huge deal! Wu Yu is insanely talented as well,
so their descendants will definitely not be bad. Moreover, we
have the other princes and princesses to carry on the family
line. When Wu Yu gets stronger in the future, our Dark North
Tribe will also benefit!"
"Ancestor Yang truly has the foresight and guts. The two
princes definitely have thought of this but couldn't make the
decision. This decision could only be made by someone more
senior. As for the Dark Sea Emperor, he definitely would want
to see Princess You Xue happy. It just so happens that Princess
You Xue and Wu Yu have feelings for each other but are
obtructed. Now that they can get together, it will be a tale to
be passed down for ages."
Ancestor Yang's words triggered discussions throughout the
Dark North Tribe. There were both assenting and dissenting
views, which resulted in a quarrel, and both sides had roughly
the same number of supporters.
As for the participants, their reactions varied as well. It was
especially so for Duan Yi, Yin Xuan, and the others. In the past,
there were favourites to become son-in-laws. Now, their
expressions had all collapsed. They wanted to cry, but no tears
would flow. Thinking about it, Wu Yu had truly triumphed over
them in all aspects.
In this world, the only thing that might keep a man from
reaching his broad and bright future might be the beauty
beside him. This move by Ancestor Yang, from Qu Yin’s
perspective, had truly hit Wu Yu's weakness. If Wu Yu went to
Yan Huang, he would definitely have to break up with Princess
You Xue. In fact, Qu Yin could now foresee a high chance that
Wu Yu would remain in the Dark North Kingdom because of
this reason!
If he became the son-in-law of the Dark North Tribe, it would
be even more impossible to bring Wu Yu back.
Qu Yin became flustered all of a sudden.
However, this matter still had to take the views of the two
involved. While everyone was discussing fervently and
quarreling incessantly, they were also looking at Wu Yu and
Princess You Xue. Princess You Xue returned to the sight of the
crowd once again. At this point, she wasn't exhilarated but was
panicking.
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me." Princess You
Xue's words instantly silenced the crowd. Her eyes were red
and swollen as she turned to look at Wu Yu before turning to
Ancestor Yang. All of a sudden, she went down on her knees
and said with a choking voice, "Uncle, and my fellow Dark
North Tribe mates, sorry to disappoint everyone here. This
matter, I can't agree to it...."
Chapter 790: Ancient Emperor's Edict
Can't agree to it?
This took everyone by surprise. They were all discussing if this
was a worthwhile decision. However, none of them had
expected that the first one to step forward to reject the
decision would be Princess You Xue herself.
From the impression that everyone had gotten, Wu Yu came
to follow her from a faraway place. Both of them fought side
by side in the Taigu Immortal Path and had been through life
and death together. Moreover, they were both young, with
the man handsome and the woman beautiful. They appeared
to be so close as well. Despite them consistently denying that
they were in love, most "experienced" people knew that they
were protecting each other. After all, there were huge hurdles
between them....
They should have been moved to tears at this moment. Why
would Princess You Xue step forward so directly....
Even Qu Yin had not expected this development. Therefore,
he remained silent and chose to observe the reactions.
"Xue Er, what do you mean?" asked Ancestor Yang solemnly.
He had to pluck his courage to make such a quick decision as
well.
Princess You Xue lifted her head, calmed herself a little, and
said seriously, "Uncle, I've emphasized this before as well. Wu
Yu and I are just friends. Both of us are focused on cultivation
and our relationship is simple and pure. We admire each
other, but this doesn't cross into love. Xue Er has never
thought of finding a dao companion, and I would like to focus
on achieving breakthroughs. Wu Yu also sees Xue Er as a
friend. Therefore, when you say you want me to marry him out
of the blue, we are both placed in a difficult position. This is
because we aren't compatible at all. Therefore, Xue Er is really
sorry. With regard to the decision for us to get together,
please forgive me for not being able to accept...."
Towards the end, two drops of tears streamed down her fair
and tender face.
Her explanation had truly shocked the crowd.
This wasn't an order from Wu Yu, and Wu Yu hadn't come out
with any solution. Princess You Xue had taken the initiative to
step forward to resolve this matter. She knew her relationship
with Wu Yu very clearly.
Wu Yu knew that she might just have a little affection for him.
If he had the same feelings for her, it might have been a joyous
event for them today as they could finally break through all
the difficult hurdles between them.
There could only be a single dao companion for a martial
cultivator, and they would go through life and death together.
Princess You Xue was great and Wu Yu knew that he had
mistreated her before. However, she wasn't the one Wu Yu
was looking for. A casual marriage would only do more harm
to the both of them.
In this aspect, Wu Yu knew he had to maintain a distance from
Princess You Xue.
You Xue's actions had improved Wu Yu's perspective of her.
She had undergone a huge metamorphosis from the individual
within the Taigu Immortal Path. If not for the fact that Wu Yu
still had no idea how to disarm the Soul Manipulation Blood
Design, he would definitely not hesitate to deactivate it.
It was just that he understood that if he made Princess You
Xue say these words alone, she would definitely be extremely
uncomfortable.
Before the eyes of the crowd, Wu Yu helped her up. After
which, he faced the crowd and expressed his decision for the
first time. He said, "I'm sorry that I've caused you various
seniors to misunderstand our relationship. The Princess and I
really don't have the relationship that many might have
imagined. Please don't make things difficult for Princess You
Xue."
Both of them had rejected the engagement. Even though this
was an arranged marriage by Ancestor Yang, this decision had
to be thrown out for now. After all, Ancestor Yang couldn't
possibly sacrifice the two of them just to keep Wu Yu here.
With things reaching this stage, everyone was dumbfounded.
Previously, they were quarreling constantly. Now they found
their quarrels to be completely pointless.
After going through several twists, Qu Yin was probably the
most exhilarated person. He almost couldn't contain his
laughter. Truth be told, he was frustrated and aggrieved just
moments ago.
Therefore, he interrupted and said, "In that case, Wu Yu has
made his decision. Just follow me back to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country then."
After going through a period of pondering, Wu Yu had almost
come out with the decision. Qu Yin's appearance had
disrupted his plans. After a round of careful thought, he would
still prefer to remain in the Dark North Kingdom for some time.
Until the point he felt sufficiently confident that he could enter
the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
Therefore, he said, "Senior Qu, I'm really sorry. I have no
intention of heading to the Yan Huang Ancient Country right
now. Perhaps I might head there for a greater challenge once
I've gained enough strength for self-preservation. For now, I
would like to remain in the Dark North Kingdom."
To him, the Dark North Kingdom would be filled with dangers.
However, the Yan Huang Ancient Country would be even more
so. It was especially so after considering the existence of those
few. Wu Yu really hoped they wouldn't appear before his eyes.
The mysterious group of Prince Le and the rest. Taking Qu
Fengyu, who was beside Qu Yin, as an example, Wu Yu still
didn't dare to look at her directly. This was because he had
truly seen Qu Fengyu’s corpse.
Yan Huang was a place he definitely wished to go to. However,
now wasn't the time.
Qu Yin had a smile, but now it disappeared entirely. To him,
Wu Yu's decision was a completely disrespectful act towards
him.
However, those from the Dark North Kingdom did gain a
better impression of Wu Yu from his decision. After all, he
hadn't allowed the people from the Yan Huang Ancient
Country to leave with huge smiles on their faces and had given
the Dark North Kingdom face. For now, as long as Wu Yu chose
to remain in the Dark North Kingdom, the Dark North Kingdom
wouldn't be so embarrassed. Moreover, Wu Yu hadn't taken
the opportunity to become the son-in-law when Ancestor
Yang announced the arranged marriage.
His honest acts had managed to pull the Dark North Tribe
closer to him. They found that Wu Yu was really fearless
towards everything. He was strictly insistent on his own
standards and goals.
Therefore, You Shang and the rest were finally able to heave a
sigh of relief.
As for Qu Yin, he was frustrated to the brink of tears. The truth
was, despite saying so much, he still had to respect Wu Yu's
decision. If Wu Yu refused, it wouldn't be practical to bring Wu
Yu back by force.
The main factor was still Wu Yu himself.
As such, You Shang and the rest were more assured.
Regardless of how much Qu Yin had spoken, Wu Yu wouldn't
be leaving today.
Now the Dark North Tribe was eager to see Qu Yin make a joke
out of himself. They felt that Qu Yin would likely be endlessly
furious and embarrassed.
No one had expected so many twists of events today.
However, what they couldn't understand was seeing almost
no frustration displayed by Qu Yin. Rather, Qu Yin looked calm
and composed. He chuckled helplessly and said, "Now that
things are at this stage, I also have no other options. If this
went well, I wouldn't have had to use this here. Since you can't
think clearly right now, Wu Yu, let me announce this honor to
the entire world."
"Honor?" Wu Yu couldn't understand him at first.
Just as Qu Yin finished his words, his expression turned stern.
At this point, and to the astonishment of all others, he led
everyone from the Yan Huang Ancient Country to kneel down
on both knees. He lifted both of his hands and had a
reverential expression on his face.
With unprecedented solemnity, he led the group and shouted
loudly, "We, the descendants of Yan Huang, welcome the
Ancient Emperor's Edict!"
When the last three words were said, Wu Yu could feel the
atmosphere around him going stale. Everyone, including You
Shang and the rest, were awestruck.
Wu Yu still couldn't understand what was happening when
something above all of them started changing. In the air, two
rays of light, one gold and one black, clashed violently before
exploding. All of a sudden, a huge, illusory image was formed.
The illusory image had two distinct parts. The front was
golden, while the back was black like a shadow!
This was the image of a huge human!
That man stood in the air, and one couldn't see his appearance
clearly. However, at the very first instant, Wu Yu was forced to
both of his knees by an unknowingly frightening pressure!
At that moment, his knees almost shattered. However, the
pressure was still holding him down. After his knees smashed
into the ground, he couldn't even lift his head up. He had to
keep his head low, and sweat was breaking out on his face. He
resisted with all his might and felt as though a mountain was
weighing on him.

It wasn't just his main body that suffered such pressure. Even
his avatar was in the same state.
Everyone was on their knees.
Wu Yu could hear a loud ruckus. Without lifting his head, he
could see from the edge of his vision that everyone else had
been forced to their knees. In fact, he even saw Prince You Shi,
who was still resisting bitterly, a short distance away!
He was now kneeling on the ground as well. Moreover, he had
been forced down from the sky!
It was not surprising that there was a loud ruckus before!
"Without a doubt, everyone is on their knees, including that
Ancestor Yang, who is close to immortalhood." Just as Wu Yu
was feeling suspicious and indignant, Ming Long's words
completely shook him.
"Ancestor Yang is also kneeling...."
This made Wu Yu shiver a little. That was just an illusory image.
What kind of existence could force Ancestor Yang onto his
knees!? Moreover, this person wasn't even here personally.
Initially, he felt aggrieved to be pinned down like this. All that
was left now was shock. He knew that an unprecedented
expert had appeared, but the real person wasn't here. Who
could this person be....
Only Princess You Xue could possibly relay some information
to Wu Yu. However, her thoughts were filled with horror and
fear. At the same time, a name was ringing in his mind. That
was the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor.
Wu Yu recognized that this was the current emperor of the
Yan Huang Ancient Country. However, it was said that he had
been around for a long time. The most frightening thing was
that this person was rumored to be even more incredible than
those who attained immortalhood. There were also some that
claimed that he had already attained immortalhood and was
an immortal sent by the celestial palace to guard the mortal
realm. There were many rumors surrounding this man. Even
Wu Yu knew that the father of Prince Le was the strongest man
in the entire Jambu Realm!
This was the Ancient Emperor's Edict, and not the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor being here personally.
However, it also showed that he had paid attention to what
had happened here. Having an immortal-like existence like
him paying attention to this place wasn't a small deal at all.
Wu Yu could clearly feel the fear of Prince You Xue. Looking at
others, even Prince You Shi appeared to be petrified at this
point. It was then that he finally understood how fear-inducing
the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor could be. It was just like the
people in the mortal kingdom seeing Heavenly Immortal Hao
Tian in the past.
Before Wu Yu was 15, Heavenly Immortal Hao Tian was no
different from a real immortal.
The Ancient Emperor's Edict was the will of the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor. He could be wherever he wanted.
While Wu Yu was still reeling in shock, he heard a majestic and
grand voice saying, "Wu Yu from Yan Huang Imperial City has
shown exceptional talent and has a pure heart for the dao. As
such, he is now conferred the title of Kingmaker Le and shall
assist Prince Le in attaining immortalhood. He shall return to
Yan Huang. Here is my decree."
This voice rang around time after time.
Wu Yu was completely stunned.
The Yan Huang Ancient Emperor was making him head to the
Yan Huang Ancient Country personally? He had sent his decree
over personally? Moreover, he was conferred the title of
Kingmaker Le to assist Prince Le? What kind of position was
that?
The strongest existence in this world, one that was no
different from an immortal, wanted him to head to Yan
Huang?
The key was that he had to assist Prince Le, whom Wu Yu
found exceptionally frightening.
Ming Long sobbed and said, "This time, you are really
finished!"
After an unknown period of time, the Ancient Emperor's Edict
disappeared. Wu Yu and the rest stood up, but Wu Yu still
hadn't recovered from the shock.
Vaguely, he could hear Qu Yin say with envy, "Congratulations,
Wu Yu! You have become an esteemed Kingmaker! With the
Ancient Emperor making the decree personally, if Prince Le
becomes the emperor in the future, you will be the number
two figure in the entire Jambu Realm."
When he heard this, it was easy for him to understand what
sort of position the Kingmaker was!
Chapter 791: Kingmaker Le
Not just Wu Yu himself, but the entire crowd was silent for a
long white, even though the Ancient Emperor had already
vanished. For the longest time, everyone held their breath,
their faces shaken. No one made a sound.
Only those of the Yan Huang Ancient Country could feel any
excitement and pride.
But even amongst them, many did not know that Qu Yin had
the edict of the Ancient Emperor, and were still reeling from
the shock.
The most averse reaction came from the Dark North Tribe.
They were polar opposites from the Yan Huang Tribe. The Yan
Huang Ancient Emperor's appearance filled them with terror,
even You Shang and Prince You Shi.
Wu Yu could clearly see that their faces were sickly as well.
This was not because they had been suppressed by the Yan
Huang Ancient Emperor, but perhaps because they now truly
knew in the bones what true dread felt like.
Wu Yu had thought that at their elite level, they would not feel
fear. Evidently, that was not the case.
He was still not sure what the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor's
edict meant. But the reactions from the Dark North Tribe
made him uneasy, and now Prince You Shi and You Shang were
looking defeated as well. This meant that even they could not
go up against the Ancient Emperor's edict.
"Impossible, right? The Yan Huang Ancient Emperor, no
matter how absolute his power, can't really take me away
from the Dark North Kingdom, right? Is the Dark Sea Emperor
not going to show himself?" Wu Yu was puzzled.
No one spoke. Only Qu Yin was smiling.
In the silence, Qu Yin smiled at Wu Yu, saying, "Better late than
never. Follow me to the Yan Huang Ancient Country,
Kingmaker Le. After all, this is the Ancient Emperor's edict. No
one in the entire Jambu Realm can choose not to abide by it."
Before, it was a struggle between Qu Yin and the Dark North
Tribe, and Wu Yu had already decided to remain in the Dark
North Kingdom. Right now, even with the Ancient Emperor's
Edict, the Dark North Tribe should be fighting on his behalf.
Therefore, Wu Yu remained silent at this time. He was waiting
for Prince You Shi or that Ancestor Yang to save him.
Perhaps they only needed to chase Qu Yin out of the Dark
North Kingdom. After all, this was their territory - the Yan
Huang Ancient Country could not possibly invade this place.
But in reality, not a peep was uttered by the entire Dark North
Tribe. Everyone had been undone by their fear of the Ancient
Emperor's Edict.
Just as Wu Yu was still mulling over this, Princess You Xue said
hoarsely to him, her eyes filled with hot tears, "Wu Yu, we
might be separated from now on."
Her petite frame was shaking. Evidently, she found this hard
to bear, and was reluctant to accept it.
"That's not decided yet, right?" Wu Yu thought that even
though the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor had an immortal's
power, that still should not mean much. It couldn't be that his
word was law throughout the Yan Huang Ancient Region, and
all other countries were worthless, right?
"The Ancient Emperor's Edict is absolute. No one can resist the
will of the Ancient Emperor. In Yan Huang Ancient Region, his
will is law. Even my father dares not violate it. Perhaps you do
not know, but if not for the Ancient Emperor having no
intention of absorbing the other immortal kingdoms, the Dark
North Kingdom would not even exist in this world." As a
person of the Yan Huang Ancient Region, Princess You Xue was
more cognizant of such things.
She also knew that Wu Yu did not know about the Yan Huang
Ancient Country's Ancient Emperor. He was above all, the god
of the Yan Huang Ancient Region, the absolute dominator.
"Is that so?" Wu Yu was taken aback. He only found out after
Princess You Xue had said it. But this matter was too difficult
to accept, and he still chafed against it. At the same time, he
had a deep newfound respect and curiosity for the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor. What manner of being was this to scare all
these people into submission and accept his omnipotence?
Just from the gold and black phantom of the Ancient Emperor,
Wu Yu could already sense his power.
He had not even come personally, and yet could make the two
great princes bow to him immediately. On second thought,
this power indeed exceeded an immortal's.
He had assumed that the Dark Sea Emperor and the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor were at the same level, with the Dark Sea
Emperor being slightly weaker. But now he understood that
they were on completely different levels. The Dark Sea
Emperor was still endeavoring towards immortalhood, while
the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor was probably already a true
immortal in the mortal realm.
"A real eye-opener." Wu Yu felt a little embarrassed.
It seemed like his path was being controlled by others from all
over.
After Qu Yin spoke, Wu Yu looked at Prince You Shi and You
Shang, and the two looked back, then away with frustration.
Wu Yu understood that they had already resigned themselves
to this.
They actually did not dare to face Wu Yu. His only hope left
might be Ancestor Yang.
Perhaps only Ancestor Yang could make the decision here.
Therefore, Wu Yu did not reply to Qu Yin, but lifted his head
towards Ancestor Yang, and said directly, "Ancestor Yang, if it
is possible, I would like to stay in the Dark North Kingdom. I
wonder if the Dark North Kingdom has any way to allow me to
stay. I will definitely return this boon in the future."
He had never imagined that the Ancient Emperor's Edict would
have such power to sunder all his plans.
Right now, no one dared to make a sound. His final hope
rested on Ancestor Yang.
As Wu Yu's words rang out, there was a stir as many also
looked up. They would see if the Dark North Kingdom would
decide to stand up for it.
Wu Yu waited.
As time ticked on, there was no reaction. Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire
and Gold could see Ancestor Yang clearly. He sat rigidly, eyes
closed, and not saying a thing. After about 30 breaths of time,
he still did not react. The outcome was clear.
The Dark North Tribe was disappointed, and Wu Yu as well.

But there was no choice. This was reality. If the Dark North
Kingdom could not make him stay, then his individual
capabilities were naturally too far away from being able to
stand up to the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor's will. And he
could not escape from Qu Yin's watch.
However, he did not need to flee either. To him, the Yan Huang
Ancient Country was a higher challenge, and not a hell where
death was inevitable. He had never shunned a challenge in his
life!
Therefore, he realigned his mentality. Since he could not reject
it or resist it, then he would cast aside his cowardly feelings
and surge on ahead. He would tear through the Yan Huang
Ancient Country with his will and spirit!
If he could make the entire Dark North Kingdom remember
him, why would he be afraid to challenge the Yan Huang
Ancient Country?!
Therefore, he took a deep breath. As he blew it out, his
mindset completely came around. He was not afraid of the Yan
Huang Ancient Country. From now on, his new goal was to
seek even higher challenges in the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
If there was a place that would be his final springboard into
immortalhood, it would definitely be the Yan Huang Ancient
Country. Because it was the core of the entire Jambu Realm.
Historically, it was the place that produced the most
immortals, even though he had his reservations right now.
Going was a forgone conclusion. But he could not understand
the mystery here.
"How did someone like the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor know
of me? And even crowned me Kingmaker Le to support Prince
Le?"
Wu Yu could not understand this.
Ming Long was very suspicious as well. "That's right. If he
knows that you have an immortal's legacy, he could have
snatched it away from you directly, given his abilities. He
would not need to resort to such complications. But if he
doesn't know, then you cannot possibly have any value to him.
However, I feel like this is connected to Prince Le. After all,
Prince Le has become a huge threat after escaping from the
brink of death on the Taigu Immortal Path."
For Wu Yu right now, there were two crucial questions. "The
first riddle is the motive of the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor in
laying down the Ancient Emperor's Edict. The second riddle is:
what on earth is Prince Le? Why does he want me to go and
support him? If I go, could my life be in danger?"
Wu Yu felt like his life had been controlled by others from the
start. His future was filled with unknowns.
Not a good feeling.
He might be facing the height of peril right now. Wu Yu was
thinking about fleeing, but he gave up after considering it.
Because he could not possibly evade someone like the Yan
Huang Ancient Emperor, who had the power of an immortal.
Perhaps he was beside Wu Yu right now. Even Qu Yin might
not be able to catch Wu Yu. But for the Yan Huang Ancient
Emperor, the extent of the Dark North Tribe's terror told Wu
Yu that there might just be nobody in the Jambu Realm who
he could not catch.
To him, these two huge riddles were truly enigmatic, and he
could make neither heads nor tails of them.
It seemed like the only way to break this riddle was to follow
Qu Yin to the Yan Huang Ancient Country, to personally
immerse himself in these troubled waters, and to face the risk.
He might very well die in this process, taken advantage of by
others.
However, the road to immortalhood was probably filled with
such excitement.
If not, it would not be enjoyable.
"Indeed, things are getting interesting." Wu Yu was still
ambitious and hungry about his own dao cultivation. Since the
Yan Huang Ancient Country had opened the doors wide to
him, then he would abandon everything else and challenge it.
He would cast matters of life and death to the back of his mind
- if there was one thing that meant more to Wu Yu than life or
death, it was the dao.
Chapter 792: Com-pig-nionship
Qu Yin and the others already knew that when Ancestor Yang
chose not to answer Wu Yu, the matter of Wu Yu heading for
the Yan Huang Ancient Country was basically wrapped up.
"We leave today. Wu Yu, everyone at the Yan Huang Ancient
Country wants to meet you. After all, you're now a legend at
the Dark North Kingdom. Rest assured that at the Yan Huang
Ancient Country, we will treat you as a member of the Yan
Huang Tribe, and not as an outsider. Your true home is there.
Wu Yu, we, as the Yan Huang Tribe, are prouder than anyone."
Qu Yin said a lot to Wu Yu, patiently instructing him.
Although Wu Yu did not answer him, the 800,000 present did
not feel like there was any doubt.
Princess You Xue was feeling horrible. She could not bear to
leave Wu Yu, but Wu Yu's hands were tied, and so she cried.
The only one more anxious than Wu Yu himself was probably
the Full Moon of Nanshan.
He did not foresee that Wu Yu would be sent to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country. Therefore, he had just declared that he
would be following Princess You Xue. After all, Wu Yu had not
anticipated this either, and using the name of Princess You Xue
would be a more convincing front.
The problem right now was that the Full Moon of Nanshan
really wanted to follow Wu Yu. He had not taken a liking to
Princess You Xue. But Wu Yu was headed for the Yan Huang
Ancient Country, and he did not want to remain in the Dark
North Kingdom alone.
"Wu Yu, you can lay a condition. I know you have no choice,
but you can say that you are willing to go to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country, but you must have me with you? That was
our agreement from the start. I helped you get the Dark North
Royal Obelisk and the glory of first place. You have to keep
your side up as well," the Full Moon of Nanshan babbled,
flustered with worry.
Wu Yu had almost forgotten about him.
Right now, the Full Moon of Nanshan was completely
depending on Wu Yu. If he left, the Full Moon of Nanshan
would be in a lot of danger.
Him obtaining the Dark North Royal Obelisk was largely due to
the Full Moon of Nanshan's help. Without him, Wu Yu would
not have his accomplishments of today. Therefore, even if he
had to brave a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, he would
fulfill his promise. This was how much he valued his promise.
Since he was going to leave, then the Full Moon of Nanshan
would also hope to come with him. Then he might as well bring
him along. With the Full Moon of Nanshan, his odds of survival
might just be a little better.
It was time for Wu Yu to make his statement.
With all eyes on him, Wu Yu lifted his head to look fearlessly
at Qu Yin. In a clear voice, he declared, "Since I am fortunate
enough to be charged by the Ancient Emperor, then Wu Yu
will brave any danger, and rise to the call! However, in order
to protect my friend, we told a lie before. The one that this
demon wishes to follow is myself. However, Wu Yu felt that he
was inadequate, and wanted Princess You Xue to protect him.
Therefore, I want to take him with me when I go to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country."
The fact that Wu Yu would still consider him at this juncture
made the Full Moon of Nanshan acknowledge him. He also
said gratefully, "My thanks to everyone. I merely want to
follow Wu Yu. I am in full respect of him, and hope that these
great ones of the Yan Huang Ancient Country can help and
take me away as well."
Seeing her role in this, Princess You Xue stood up as well,
saying, "Let this demon follow Wu Yu. After all, the one he
truly reveres is not me."
Qu Yin and the others could also clearly see the Full Moon of
Nanshan's ability, and naturally would not reject a "buy-one-
get-one-free" offer. Therefore, he smiled magnanimously. "If
that's the case, then follow us to the Yan Huang Ancient
Country. Rest assured that as long as you follow Wu Yu, no one
in the Yan Huang Ancient Country will dare to bully you, and
you can become part of the Yan Huang Tribe as well. You might
also be like Wu Yu, and have a bright future!"
Wu Yu was willing, Qu Yin was willing. The Full Moon of
Nanshan had, after all, shown his abilities before. If not for the
fact that Wu Yu had been too bold, and overshadowed him,
many would probably have been very interested in him.
But the Dark North Tribe was still unhappy about this. After all,
this was not part of the Ancient Emperor's Edict. Therefore,
Prince You Shi stood up at this time and declared, "Impossible.
This is the property of my Dark North Kingdom. You have
already taken Wu Yu away. I will not let you take the Full Moon
of Nanshan away. This has nothing to do with the Yan Huang
Ancient Country."
Without the Ancient Emperor's Edict, they would still dare to
stand up against the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
Qu Yin had also guessed that they would act thus.
Wu Yu could not give them any chance to reject either, so he
said, "If that's the case, then we're in a predicament. Great Qu
Yin, please tell the Ancient Emperor that if the Full Moon of
Nanshan does not follow me, I don't want to go to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country."
Although this was impossible, one could definitely say
anything. As long as Wu Yu resisted, it would pose a huge
problem for Qu Yin as well.
Building on Wu Yu's setup, Qu Yin blustered a scoff at Prince
You Shi, "Your Highness, are you contradicting the Ancient
Emperor? If you do not release this demon, Wu Yu will not
leave with us. If the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor decides to
seek redress, will you bear the responsibility?"
Qu Yin had obtained the legendary Ancient Emperor's Edict
with much difficulty. How could he not milk it fully at this time?
Actually, he himself had been profoundly shocked to receive
the Ancient Emperor's Edict as well. He had only relayed the
situation here back.
It was only a fanciful dream for him and those of his caliber to
apply for an Ancient Emperor's Edict.
Contradicting the Ancient Emperor's will was indeed a big
thing. No one would dare to do it. With this huge backer, Qu
Yin could walk all over the heads of Prince You Shi and You
Shang.
As for the Full Moon of Nanshan, they would definitely fight
over him. Even though Qu Yin was using the Ancient Emperor's
Edict to pressure them, Prince You Shi gritted his teeth and
retorted, "The Yan Huang Ancient Emperor only commanded
Wu Yu's return to the Yan Huang Ancient Country. This has
nothing to do with the Full Moon of Nanshan. The Full Moon
of Nanshan is a demon of the Dark North Kingdom. There is no
reason for him to go to the Yan Huang Ancient Country."
Qu Yin said, "The key is that if Wu Yu does not have the Full
Moon of Nanshan with him, he will not come quietly. If he
does not return to the Yan Huang Ancient Country because of
that, this responsibility will lie on you! Do you dare bear it!?"
Actually, he could probably take Wu Yu away with him by
force. But since Wu Yu had said so personally, this was his
chance to take a demon of extraordinary talent away with him
as well. Therefore, since Wu Yu had made the opening, he
would definitely exhaust all possibilities in order to take the
Full Moon of Nanshan as well.
Therefore, his tone suddenly became stern, and he said
severely, "Prince You Shi, you are a bold one indeed. If not for
the Dark Sea Emperor out roaming the world to seek the dao
of immortalhood, he would definitely deliver you a slap for
willfully defying the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor's wish!"

Wu Yu was disappointed in the Dark North Tribe for being

unable to protect him. Therefore, there was no need to be nice
to them as well. He said, "No matter what, that's my position.
Without the Full Moon of Nanshan, don't even think of getting
me to go to the Yan Huang Ancient Country. Not even you lot
can make me leave!"
He was naturally addressing the Yan Huang Ancient Country
people.
"Forget it." Ancestor Yang voiced those two words right now,
his tone even.
He had chosen to give up. Wu Yu guessed that this elder might
be more familiar with the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor than
the others, and knew how mighty he was. When he initiated
the back down, You Shang and the others were also left
without a leg to stand on.
"And done." Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan looked at
each other and heaved sighs of relief. They both knew that the
Yan Huang Ancient Country would be even more dangerous
than the Dark North Kingdom, and they could not foresee
what their future held, especially with the enigmatic Yan
Huang Ancient Emperor in it. Perhaps they were already
doomed by their choice.
"And it is Ancestor Yang who sees clearly. This junior thanks
Ancestor Yang for his intervention, to help this junior smoothly
carry out the will of the Ancient Emperor," Qu Yin said
smilingly. He, too, was of advanced years, but he was still more
junior compared to Ancestor Yang.
The Dark North Tribe had been badly humiliated this time, and
had also lost a huge treasure, the Dark North Royal Obelisk. It
was hard to find cheer in a prospect like that. Therefore, their
faces were stony, and they ignored Qu Yin. Their only thought
right now was to chase Qu Yin and the others away, so they
could stop feeling so vexed.
This time, the Dark North Kingdom had truly lost much. After
all, Wu Yu was still half a Yan Huang Ancient Country person.
It would be too difficult to fight over him.
"If that's the case, then let's head out without delay." In order
to avoid prolonging the tension, Qu Yin wanted to return to
the Yan Huang Ancient Country as soon as possible. After all,
this was an important mission for him.
Wu Yu was also prepared to take up this challenge.
However, he had not forgotten something else. He said to Qu
Yin, "I cannot leave right now. On behalf of the Dark Sea Army,
I took first place at the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. The
Dark Sea Army owes me 500,000 merits, and I will need at
least 10 days' time to trade these merits into dao techniques
and mystiques."
Hearing this, many Dark North Tribe people were unhappy.
Wu Yu had already taken much away from them, and now he
was going to take 500,000 merits’ worth on top of that. What
Wu Yu had taken away would be equivalent to the Dark North
Kingdom's property being transferred to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country.
However, Qu Yin laughed loudly before the Dark North Tribe
had even responded. "Easily settled. Let’s just say you
represented our Yan Huang Ancient Country's Yan Dragon
Army for your win. Give up those 500,000 merits. The Yan
Dragon Army will give you 500,000 of our merits, with effect
immediately. When you go to Yan Huang Ancient Country, the
Yan Dragon Army's treasures will be even more suitable for
you!"
This was indeed generous. But this made the Dark North Tribe
even more dismayed.
If the Yan Dragon Army representative had won the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy, wasn't that another blow to the
Dark North Tribe's pride?
Today, the Dark North Tribe had been humiliated enough. The
Dark North royal family only wished for them to get out as
soon as possible.
Therefore, Prince You Shi said, "Go on your way quickly. We
are about to disperse as well. We will not see you off."
Wu Yu knew that a new journey was about to begin.
Chapter 793: Second Tier Primordial Spirit
Qu Yin was impervious to the watchful eyes of the crowd. With
the exception of Qu Fengyu, the group of several hundred
people from the Yan Huang Ancient Country were wearing
large smiles on their faces. Clearly, the Yan Huang Ancient
Emperor had given all of them a sense of superiority.
"Move out!" All the martial cultivators from the Yan Huang
Ancient Country left their seats after at the instruction from
Qu Yin, who was the leader of the group.
Soon after, everyone could see Qu Yin summoning his
advanced dao treasure. Similar to You Shang, he had a warship
advanced dao treasure.
As Qu Yin swung his arm, a golden ray of light wafted out from
his sleeves. The next moment, a huge, glittering, golden
dragon appeared before the crowd before morphing into a
majestic and impressive golden warship. Golden flames blazed
violently on that golden warship, making it seem like it was
burning in the sky. At the same time, the warship brought
scorching hot temperatures to the freezing cold Dark North
Kingdom. The intense flames caused the Dark North Tribe to
feel even more uncomfortable.
However, the shame was that they could only endure the
anger and indignance. They would only be able to exact their
revenge if the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor was no longer
around one day.
For today, they could only endure the humiliation.
"Wu Yu, board my Yan Dragon Warship!" Qu Yin led the group
of over 100 and flew towards the Yan Dragon Warship. Soon
after, they charged into the flames. All of them seemed to be
burning in fire and appeared to be incomparably scorching.
Below the warship were Wu Yu, his Heaven Devouring Avatar,
and the Full Moon of Nanshan.
"Let's go. It's unheard of that the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor
wants you to be in the Yan Huang Ancient Country. Just this
alone will make you famous. Probably every single person in
the Jambu Realm will now know you. Following you will
increase my exposure a little as well."
Wu Yu couldn't tell if the Full Moon of Nanshan was thrilled or
worried about this change in development. Perhaps he was
the same as Wu Yu. He was both worried about the
uncertainties regarding the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor and
Prince Le while also desiring the challenge in the Yan Huang
Ancient Country.
The only one who found it a little hard to part was Princess You
Xue. Her eyes were red and tears were welling up as she stared
at Wu Yu. Wu Yu stood before her, wiped her tears, and said,
"There's nothing to cry about. This won't be forever, and we
will have lots of opportunities to meet in the future as well.
Moreover, whatever you are thinking won't escape my eyes.
When I have a way to disarm the Soul Manipulation Blood
Design, I'll return your freedom at the first instant! You have
my word!"
"Remember to stay alive and don't risk all you have. As long as
you are still alive, you can always give it another try." In the
end, Princess You Xue gave her final reminder.
"Alright, work hard too." Wu Yu still hoped to see her become
stronger than all the other princes and princesses.
After bidding farewell to Princess You Xue, Wu Yu, with his
avatar, together with the Full Moon of Nanshan, flew towards
Qu Yin's Yan Dragon Warship. In the blink of an eye, they were
engulfed by the golden flames and disappeared from the sight
of the Dark North Tribe.
When Wu Yu and the rest boarded, Qu Yin didn't hesitate to
fly out of the Dead Souls Sea Region directly. The warship
soared into the sky, broke through the strong winds, and
dashed in the direction of the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan were standing on the
deck of the Yan Dragon Warship. Opposite of them were the
martial cultivators of the Yan Huang Ancient Country, who
locked eyes with them.
As Qu Fengyu was around, Wu Yu could feel an intense chill
throughout his body whenever he saw her.
Every time he faced her, he would recall the image of her
corpse.
"Just try to avoid her as much as possible." Therefore, he
forcefully made it a point to not pay attention to Qu Fengyu.
Obviously, the other party wasn't looking at him either. It was
as though she was immersed in her own little world.
"Wu Yu, rest assured. The Yan Huang Ancient Emperor wants
you in the Yan Huang Ancient Country personally. Moreover,
you were conferred with the title Kingmaker Le. In other
words, no one will dare casually target you in the Yan Huang
Ancient Country, whether openly or in the dark. Whatever you
possess is safe with you."
"Really? In that case, I really have to thank the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor for this."
After he said this, everyone opposite of him broke into
hysterical laughter. Qu Yin chuckled as well before ordering
the rest to not lose their composure. With eyes seemingly
pitying Wu Yu, he said, "The Yan Huang Ancient Emperor isn't
someone that is easy to meet. Even for his sons or daughters,
it's really, really hard to even catch sight of him. You can forget
about that wishful thinking. If you really want to thank him,
just say it to the sky. He will be able to hear everything and
nothing will escape his control."
Such means did make him sound no different from an
immortal.
He was indeed a frightening character.
However, Wu Yu wasn't intimidated. He already knew how
frightening the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor was.
The truth was, he felt more assured after hearing Qu Yin. He
was more afraid that the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor would
appear before him. As long as the other party didn't show
himself, he would have the opportunity to get stronger.
Regardless of the motives the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor
had, Wu Yu's goal was still to get stronger rapidly in safety.
The Ancient Emperor's Edict from the Yan Huang Ancient
Emperor could indeed deter some who had other ideas for him
and those that thought of snatching his legacy away.
Since this was in the open, Wu Yu wasn't worried at all. The
only thing he was worried about were those that acted in the
dark. However, if the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor was
watching, he believed no one would dare to touch him, even
if it was done secretly.
In this case, at the very least, he wouldn't be completely
passive when facing those martial cultivators with way more
experience than him. This was good news for him.
Wu Yu was also more confident because of the strength of his
avatar.
It would be especially so after the avatar mastered the Dark
North Royal Obelisk. Nonetheless, he had not formed a blood
bond with the Dark North Royal Obelisk yet.
As such, he said to Qu Yin, "During the journey to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country, I would like an isolated environment
to quickly strengthen myself."
The Yan Huang Ancient Country was definitely not simple, so
he wouldn't want to waste any time.
Qu Yin had thought of getting closer to Wu Yu and getting to
know him a little more initially. However, it was clear that Wu
Yu wasn't fond of him. Therefore, Qu Yin wasn't interested in
entertaining rejections. After all, his mission was to bring Wu
Yu back to the Yan Huang Ancient Country. As for what
happened subsequently, it would have nothing to do with him.
"Alright, let me arrange for it. When we are in Yan Huang, I'll
let you out."
In this aspect, the other party was direct and arranged for an
isolation room for Wu Yu immediately. Both Wu Yu and the
Full Moon of Nanshan were in it.

However, they were within Qu Yin's advanced dao treasure.

Whatever Wu Yu did, Qu Yin would know clearly. The reason
for him asking for an isolated environment was because he
wouldn't want to speak to the others.
This was because Wu Yu knew that they definitely wouldn't
know the two greatest mysteries he wanted to find out.
In the isolation room, he didn't put his avatar away. At this
moment, he wouldn't want any others to know about the
Floating Dreams Pagoda. Over this period, he had planned for
two matters. First, it would be to raise his cultivation level.
Second, it would be to form a blood bond with the Dark North
Royal Obelisk.
In fact, he had lots of puppets he could challenge within the
Floating Dreams Pagoda currently. Furthermore, he could also
learn new dao techniques in the Demon Hall of Dao
Techniques. However, as he was inside Qu Yin’s advanced dao
treasure, he had placed everything relating to the Floating
Dreams Pagoda to the end of his priorities.
Within a glittering and majestic isolation room, Wu Yu and the
Full Moon of Nanshan sat face to face, and the Heaven
Devouring Avatar was next to Wu Yu. At this point, the Full
Moon of Nanshan was curiously observing Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar.
"Marvellous! Marvellous! I have never seen an avatar this
mystical in my entire lifetime. Your Great Sage, Heaven's
Equal's legacy is indeed incredible. However, compared to my
Marshal Tian Peng, yours is a little worse. However, this
difference is definitely not as big as what you and I imagined!”
Wu Yu didn’t feel like listening to his nonsense. He quickly
calmed himself down. In preparation for the exciting
challenges ahead of him, he had placed all his attention into
raising his ability.
With one million Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills in his hands,
Wu Yu was really wealthy. He wouldn't have to scrimp and
started gobbling down these Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills.
Within his Violet Kingdom of the Inner Sea, part of the
medicinal effects of the Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills were
consolidating his Primordial Spirit, while the other part
intensified the seawater in his Violet Kingdom of the Inner Sea.
His Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy was increasing rapidly,
and with the nourishment from a large number of Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pills, he reached the second tier Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm and grew substantially stronger.
At the same time, the Primordial Spirit of his main body grew
even stronger. It was now roughly equivalent to that of a ninth
tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivator. This would
mean that if the conditions were suitable, Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar would be able to reach a new level and still
be perfectly under his control.
When Wu Yu emerged from the Ghosts Sea Prison, he had to
endure immense pressure from 800,000 people. The fearless
mental state he was in had propelled the strong growth of his
dao.
After he reached that state, entering the second tier of the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm was a walk in the park
for him.
This was what he deserved and something easily achievable
for him.
As for the remaining Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills, they
were split among his 10,000 doppelgangers.
These Unshackled Doppelgangers were exhausting Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pills at a crazy speed. Wu Yu was barely able
to raise them to their limits when the Great Dao Primordial
Spirit Pills in his hands were all consumed once again.
Looking forward, his Unshackled Doppelganger mystique
would have to be strengthened further in the future. Their
number might even reach 100,000, or even a million. At that
time, immortal medicines and immortal essences wouldn't be
sufficient at all. He would need cultivation resources, and lots
of them.
In comparison, it was indeed easier to get more cultivation
resources in the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
After exhausting a million Great Dao Primordial Spirit Pills, Wu
Yu completed his metamorphosis successfully and entered a
new realm. What came next would be the most crucial, the
mastering of the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
"Congratulations! You must have reached a new cultivation
level!" The Full Moon of Nanshan wasn't in a hurry. Over this
period, he was mainly observing Wu Yu and his various means
from the dark. However, Wu Yu was focused solely on raising
his cultivation level over this period and therefore the Full
Moon of Nanshan didn't have any deeper thoughts.
Nonetheless, he had a huge shock over how Wu Yu had to feed
his Unshackled Doppelgangers.
To suppress and form a blood bond with the Dark North Royal
Obelisk, Wu Yu had to mobilize both Primordial Spirits. The
Primordial Spirits in the Heaven Devouring Avatar and the
main body were one to begin with.
Moreover, the Primordial Spirit in the Heaven Devouring
Avatar was still part of him.
Although he would be facing the Dark North Royal Obelisk, Wu
Yu was still brimming with confidence.
Chapter 794: Blood Bonding the Dark North Royal Obelisk
"This advanced dao treasure has too many spirit designs. It's
too wild. If you want to blood bond it right now, I think it will
be a little difficult," the Full Moon of Nanshan said honestly.
His words did not affect Wu Yu much. Wu Yu did not have
much confidence right now either. He simply said to the Full
Moon of Nanshan, "No matter what, I have to at least try once
before I reach the Yan Huang Ancient Country."
He wanted to succeed.
After he did, he could picture himself in the Immortal Ape
form, with the 10,000 Dragons Staff, his golden hair and eyes
cutting an impressive sight. While his Heaven Devouring
Avatar, with its white hair and red eyes, would be wielding the
black Dark North Royal Obelisk. The two would join forces and
slaughter all.
Having two bodies was indeed better than controlling
puppets.
Therefore, he had to master the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
Although it would be difficult, it could not stop his ambition
and desire for battle.
"He's going to blood bond with the Dark North Royal Obelisk?"
Actually, it was just as Wu Yu had imagined. On the Yan Dragon
Warship, every action of Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan
could not escape Qu Yin’s gaze.
"Impossible. Given Wu Yu's current cultivation level, how
could he succeed? The Dark North Royal Obelisk requires one
to be at least at the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm. Ordinarily, it's very difficult to succeed
before reaching the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm," the
other Yan Dragon Army general said.
"I think it's impossible as well. But when you get such a
treasure, you have to test it out. I think he just wants to give it
a go," someone else offered.
Qu Yin did not reply, because he was currently seeing what
would happen next. He would definitely report this upwards
in the future.
Of course, he sniggered a little to himself. "This kid is too
impatient. Some things cannot be rushed. It's challenging the
impossible at this point."
Therefore, he had mostly dismissed this.
He was only barely paying attention to him.
Within the secret room, the Full Moon of Nanshan sat cross-
legged, watching as the black-haired, black-eyed Wu Yu sat
facing the white-haired, red-eyed Heaven Devouring Avatar.
Wu Yu had the use of four eyes and could therefore see every
corner.
When he took out the Dark North Royal Obelisk, Wu Yu's real
body held the hilt, while the Heaven Devouring Avatar
extended both hands to grasp the blade.
The inky black Dark North Royal Obelisk was roused within
their hands, and their Primordial Spirits entered at the same
time. For any dao treasure, especially an advanced dao
treasure, it was a huge deal for someone to blood bond with
it.
Before reaching the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm,
blood bonding with a dao treasure relied on one's mental
fortitude and spirit. After obtaining a Primordial Spirit,
entering a dao treasure now relied on Wu Yu's Primordial
Spirit Energy. In the world of the dao treasure, the Primordial
Spirit took on Wu Yu's semblance.
But this time was different. He could feel the ingenuity of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar anew. Because this time, the
Heaven Devouring Avatar's entire body had entered, as
though it had burrowed into the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
His real body had also entered the Dark North Royal Obelisk's
world.
Of course, this only happened for blood bonding with a dao
treasure. After all, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was a Spirit
of the Universe, and the body and Primordial Spirit of a Spirit
of the Universe was one and the same.
However, right now the Heaven Devouring Avatar had
completely entered his body. Such a transformation could not
be maintained for long. Wu Yu's own body was clear about
that. But even so, it would be enough to blood bond with this
advanced dao treasure.
The disclaimer being that the Dark North Royal Obelisk had to
be willing to be conquered.
Wu Yu's avatar suddenly vanished, and the Full Moon of
Nanshan was stunned, let alone Qu Yin outside.
"Where did his strange clone disappear to? Could it be
somewhere else? His Sumeru Pouch?" Even as worldly as Qu
Yin was, he was confused at this time as well. And he was not
disposed to ask Wu Yu, so he could only watch and note what
he saw.
Wu Yu ignored them. He was already in the world of the Dark
North Royal Obelisk.
After entering, his real body used Visualizing the Inner Ape,
changing into the golden ape that was the form of the
Unparalleled Monkey King.
However, this time around, there was a black smog that circled
his body. It was the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, which
was also Wu Yu's body.
The world of the Dark North Royal Obelisk was a dark ocean, a
little like the Ghost Sea Prison.
However, the difference lied in how frigid the sea was. It was
too cold, an inky black seawater all around him.
This seawater was freezing. It was not frozen, but a moving
current. Even so, the cold not only chilled one to the bone, but
could also freeze one's Primordial Spirit.
Wu Yu's two bodies were screaming from the cold even before
entering the water. His entire body felt uncomfortable, his
movements stiff.
He felt like a mortal standing in the freezing cold.
If this seawater rose and swept him up, it would truly be a
terror.
From this, he could tell that the Dark North Royal Obelisk was
of a much higher level than the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000
Dragons Staff.
And the core here was not even the seawater, but a huge,
black structure at the end of the sea. A few palaces seemed to
be built on the surface of the sea, swaying with the waves.
Wu Yu could see howling sword qi and hear the roars of
dragons. Even the waves beneath Wu Yu's feet were violent,
rising up to the sky and crashing noisily against the palaces!
The legend was that the palaces were the Dark North Royal
Obelisk.
The immortal treasure spirit resided there.
Wu Yu and the Heaven Devouring Avatar did not hesitate to
head in that direction.
As they poured on the speed, the sea beneath their feet came
to life. The sea was a huge beast that howled and churned.
The waves reached the sky, the storm churning them on. Wu
Yu and the Heaven Devouring Avatar were completely swept
up in the freezing sea.
As expected, the seawater here was 100 times colder than the
Ghost Sea Prison.
"If I want to succeed, I have to endure this. If I give up just like
that, then what can I use to guarantee my own life in the Yan
Huang Ancient Country?"
He did not want to die. Or lose.
He knew well that if he wanted to hold on to his own dignity
in the Yan Huang Ancient Country, then he could not back
down from this moment on.
All around him was endless cold, causing his Primordial Spirit
to shiver with cold. His consciousness was on the verge of
slipping. The Primordial Spirit of Wu Yu's real body found it
hard to hold on, but the Heaven Devouring Avatar within him
was special. It not only was unaffected by the freezing cold
waters, but could even protect the Primordial Spirit of the real
body.

It brought the Primordial Spirit of Wu Yu's real body through

the seas, headed for the Dark North Royal Obelisk. They
entered readily. Both had already charged into a palace
quickly.
"What is this ungainly thing? Two Primordial Spirits, and not
even at the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm? You dare to
challenge this old man?" The palace itself was speaking.
Evidently, this was the immortal treasure spirit of the Dark
North Royal Obelisk.
"Since I was qualified to gain you, I am qualified to blood bond
with you. Do you think the Dark North Royal Obelisk could
have entered my hands otherwise? Although I might not be
pleasing to your eye, at least I placed first in the Dark North
Battle for Supremacy."
Before the battle started, he would definitely brook no
intimidation.
Wu Yu's words indeed made the Dark North Royal Obelisk a
little wary.
Next, the cluster of palaces actually began to move.
The bricks and boulders began to morph into huge swords the
color of ebony. The black swords numbered in the tens of
thousands and seemed alive.
Weng!
Instantly, the swords homed in, flashing towards Wu Yu's two
Primordial Spirits!
The numerous swords were packed with lethal power, shaking
the entire sea with their energy. Wu Yu's two doubles, while
exposed in the air, were immediately overwhelmed by the
Dark North Royal Obelisk's attack. Amongst which, the
Primordial Spirit of Wu Yu's real body could not withstand this
pressure, and was forced out of the Dark North Royal Obelisk
in a short time.
This was very humiliating, but was also a testament of the Dark
North Royal Obelisk's might.
Fortunately, because Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar was a
Spirit of the Universe, it transformed into a black vortex when
the swords came whistling over. It defended the opponent's
attack!
The huge swords flew into the vortex and were diverted in its
flow. They were reversed and sent flying back to clang noisily
against the next barrage of swords! The sound shook the
world!
Wu Yu himself was surprised at his own Heaven Devouring
Avatar's performance!
The Heaven Devouring Avatar was currently fighting on its
own instinct, so Wu Yu did not know where his own limit was.
But, fortunately, he had found a way to not only negate the
crisis, but also give back a little to the Dark North Royal Obelisk
as his clone had also almost gotten booted from its world!
"Seems like this young kid has a couple of moves!"
The obelisk had not expected Wu Yu's remaining Primordial
Spirit to be so difficult to deal with!
Wu Yu was also not worried, leaving his Heaven Devouring
Avatar to deal with it.
Right now, his real body wouldn't be able to do more than
wave pom poms.
It seemed like the Heaven Devouring Avatar had exceptional
ability when dealing with this advanced dao treasure.
What happened next would reinforce this point.
The Dark North Royal Obelisk was indeed the most difficult
advanced dao treasure that Wu Yu had ever blood bonded
with. If not for the Heaven Devouring Avatar, he probably
would have needed to advance a few tiers before he could
master it.
But now, Wu Yu saw a prayer of victory in the apocalyptic fight
between the Heaven Devouring Avatar and the Dark North
Royal Obelisk
Perhaps fighting with the Dark North Royal Obelisk was not
just a dream, but would soon be a reality!
Chapter 795: Dark North Royal Obelisk Immortal Palace
Design
At this time, the Dark North Royal Obelisk had already
morphed into a tenebrous mystical dragon. The huge, ebony
swords which had clashed before had now reformed into a
tenebrous mystical dragon of cast iron! This was within the
endless depths of gloomy seawater.
It was like flesh packed onto a frame of cast iron, which made
the tenebrous mystical dragon even more robust, and at the
same time imposing. In a flash, all the seawater gathered on
the mystical dragon made of black swords!
This black mystical dragon huffed casually, unleashing a frigid
blast that froze the sky, the earth, and one's spirit!
To the Heaven Devouring Avatar, this opponent was too
strong. Wu Yu had thought that he stood a good chance, but
the appearance of this black mystical dragon and the pressure
it exerted made him realize that it was going to be an intense
fight. It would not be a walk in the park to master the Dark
North Royal Obelisk.
The Heaven Devouring Avatar and the black mystical dragon
were fighting in this space.
"What on earth are you? Why are you so strange?" The black
mystical dragon stared at Wu Yu curiously.
"You don't need to know that much. All you need to know is
that I will be the one to control you."
In order to suppress this advanced dao treasure, he first
needed to scare it.
When clashing with a dao treasure, being too polite would
instead result in contempt.
"Hmph!" It sneered coldly. The monstrous body coiled up
again, continuing to fight the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar did not have much
offensive ability, but he was strong because his opponent's
attacks could not easily find purchase. Wu Yu could even
convert and return his opponent's attacks at times. For
example, the frost blast had almost frozen the vortex, but Wu
Yu had still mastered its return, and sent this frost blast back
to its original owner, freezing his opponent. In this fashion,
although he could not defeat his opponent, he kept him
occupied. Victory was not clear, and the struggle continued!
All in all, the Dark North Royal Obelisk's impression of Wu Yu
was that he was a difficult one to deal with!
As for now, his avatar had time. He continued to keep the
black mystical dragon occupied.
The Heaven Devouring Avatar and his real body's Invincible
Vajra Body were both headed in the same direction, which was
to be unkillable.
And the invulnerability of the Heaven Devouring Avatar had
come a little sooner. He realized that in order for it to truly die,
it would have to be weakened down to the state that it had
been first born in.
As for the immortal treasure spirit of the Dark North Royal
Obelisk, he was unable to reduce his ability. After all, it was
just an immortal treasure spirit.
After an epic clash, the Dark North Royal Obelisk had not been
defeated, but it felt that Wu Yu's capability had indeed earned
its respect. After a long period of contemplation, it decided to
submit, to be Wu Yu's advanced dao treasure.
"After many years, you will definitely be proud of your
decision today. I will be your strongest owner that you have
ever seen," Wu Yu vowed to the Dark North Royal Obelisk after
it was over.
"I can see that. You are an exceptional talent. I only recognize
two types of people as my master. Firstly, those with
extraordinary talent, who might become immortal. Secondly,
those with extraordinary potential, who improve at
supernatural speeds. Although I'm not sure what category to
place you in, I can see that there is something wondrous about
your ability. In that case, I will give you my all, and call you
master. I hope that you do not disappoint me."
The Dark North Royal Obelisk was also very sincere.
"Deal." Wu Yu did not harp on it. His Heaven Devouring Avatar
withdrew from the Dark North Royal Obelisk, returning to the
spot before Wu Yu's real body.
The Full Moon of Nanshan still did not know, and asked upon
seeing both reappear, "What's up? All done?"
Wu Yu did not need to answer him, because the Dark North
Royal Obelisk's transformation at this time was his answer. In
the hands of the Heaven Devouring Avatar, the Dark North
Royal Obelisk began to change. The dense spirit designs began
to appear. The hundreds of thousands of spirit designs were
spots of light on its surface. They were swirling and changing,
emitting a chilly aura. As the Dark North Royal Obelisk began
to come to life, the entire Yan Dragon Warship was shaking.
This was because an even more terrifying advanced dao
treasure than the Yan Dragon Warship had awakened within.
The Yan Dragon Warship emitted keening sounds, evidently
afraid of the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
Right now, Wu Yu's real body was still holding the hilt of the
Dark North Royal Obelisk, and he felt that it was cold. The clash
between his real body and the Dark North Royal Obelisk was
too great. They were as immiscible as fire and water.
Therefore, he could only have his Heaven Devouring Avatar
wield the Dark North Royal Obelisk. And the Heaven
Devouring Avatar had no affinity to any particular element. His
strength and body could adapt to various changes.
Even the appearance of the Dark North Royal Obelisk was
changing. For example, an iron dragon head now appeared on
the hilt, while fine teeth appeared on the blade, as sharp as a
dragon's teeth. The tip was naturally as keen as could be.
From the appearance and aura of the Dark North Royal
Obelisk, it was indeed a few levels beyond the 10,000 Dragons
Staff. Right now, a bone-chilling cold was extending
throughout the Yan Dragon Warship, and hundreds felt the
cold, chattering in its wake.
Clearly, they now knew that Wu Yu had mastered the Dark
North Royal Obelisk. This was beyond their expectations. But
when faced with a miracle worker like Wu Yu, they were sort
of used to it. They could only look around at each other with
wry smiles.
"This Wu Yu. He continues to work ridiculous miracles, as
though there is nothing he cannot do. If such a wonder is
brought to the Yan Huang Ancient Country and left to flourish,
we will definitely reap the rewards one day, and he also will
not be a threat to us. Luckily, the Army General had the
foresight to bring the Ancient Emperor's Edict from the Yan
Huang Ancient Emperor!"
"I just wonder what the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor had in
mind commanding Wu Yu to be Kingmaker for Prince Le. I
don't get it."

"Me neither. Probably not many do. Perhaps not even the
Army General understands the workings beyond him."
"Not just the Army General. I think many Yan Huang royal
family members are also in the dark as to what is happening.
They probably haven't paid much attention to Wu Yu. And now
his name has actually gotten to the point where the Ancient
Emperor's Edict has been invoked. When he gets to Yan
Huang, this kid's reputation will be basically known
throughout the whole nation."
"Perhaps the Army General intended to investigate what
legacy he had, and perhaps take it for his own use. Now that
the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor has taken notice of him, the
Army General can't move on him now. Not just the Army
General, but anyone who wants Wu Yu's legacy and thinks of
killing him must consider the fact that it was the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor who asked Wu Yu to go."
"This means that Wu Yu will be much safer in the Yan Huang
Ancient Country compared to the Dark North Kingdom, right?"
"Not necessarily. After all, who knows what will happen?"
"Makes sense. A wild character like Wu Yu is a trouble magnet.
Such people normally don't last long."
"At least he's already mastered the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
As for his future, let's just watch quietly. After all, we can't
move in on him now."
Everyone was discussing him as the chilly aura of the Dark
North Royal Obelisk swirled through the warship.
This included Qu Yin himself, whose faraway gaze was hard to
read.
Within the secret chamber, the Full Moon of Nanshan and Wu
Yu's real body were both freezing their asses off. The wave of
cold made him shudder all over, and the Full Moon of Nanshan
said, "I couldn't tell, but you've really got a lot up your sleeve.
I thought that you could be my lackey at best, but now I think
you have met the minimum qualifications to be my friend.
However, I am a little older than you. Call me ‘Big Brother,’
that would be best." Actually, he was the most taken aback by
Wu Yu's ability to master the Dark North Royal Obelisk. After
all, he had personally seen their struggle.
Wu Yu was currently completely engrossed in the spirit
designs of the Dark North Royal Obelisk. These spirit designs
were too complicated and numerous. Thoroughly
understanding them and familiarizing himself with the usage
of the Dark North Royal Obelisk would take a considerable
amount of time. Wu Yu could only try his best before they
reached Yan Huang.
Amongst them, one outstanding characteristic of the Dark
North Royal Obelisk was that it could switch between two
states. One was a basic sword form, the other was a long whip.
Wu Yu firstly familiarized himself with the transformation
spirit designs. They were complicated, but not actually difficult
to understand.
Right now, the Dark North Royal Obelisk rested in the Heaven
Devouring Avatar's hand. White-haired, red-eyed, a demonic
aura, and holding an ice-cold ebony sword - it truly looked like
the reaper.
As he funneled his own energy into the spirit design, the Dark
North Royal Obelisk longsword in his hand changed from a
keen and sturdy longsword into a segmented and coiling whip
of iron!
After changing into an iron whip, the Heaven Devouring Avatar
seemed to be holding a dragon's head, while the long whip
was the mystical dragon's body. The tail was sharp as a spear,
and it looked as if the Heaven Devouring Avatar had an iron
dragon at its command. As it flailed the whip, the frost energy
was intimidating, and the shrill sound of metal made one's hair
stand on end. Although it was a mystical dragon, it felt like a
viper.
Regardless of whether longsword or whip, it had its own elite-
quality Offensive Spirit Designs. It was as though he possessed
two advanced dao treasures. The four Offensive Spirit Designs
would become the Heaven Devouring Avatar's most terrifying
moves. It seemed like the Heaven Devouring Avatar could
become stronger than Wu Yu's real body at this rate.
Of course, the Offensive Spirit Designs were merely support.
The entire Dark North Royal Obelisk's most central design was
known as the Dark North Royal Obelisk Immortal Palace
Design.
Chapter 796: Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit, Heaven
Swallowing 10,000 Rampaging Dragons
The Heaven Devouring Avatar currently had potential for
devouring. After all, Wu Yu's greater Primordial Spirit had
already improved.
After the Heaven Devouring Avatar improved, he again
returned to master the Dark North Royal Obelisk, and the four
Offensive Spirit Designs. With both the longsword and whip
forms, its battle power would definitely surpass Wu Yu's real
body.
After a period of careful study, he slowly grew familiar with
these four Offensive Spirit Designs.
Familiar with them now, he realized that each of these four
spirit designs were all much stronger than the Infinite Eternal
Sand Reincarnation Design of the Otherworldly Infinite 10,000
Dragons Staff.
The longsword form had two Offensive Spirit Designs.
One of them was known as the Dark Sea Ghostly Tempest.
Just by analyzing the spirit designs alone, Wu Yu could see that
the sword shadows covered the sky, falling down in a torrent.
Where it landed in water, the water turned into an icy, black
sea. If it landed on land, trees would wither and rivers would
freeze.
As the mountains and rivers changed into a dark and glacial
world, this ghostly rain smashed down with enough force to
level regions.
The second Offensive Spirit Design of the longsword was called
the Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk. This Offensive
Spirit Design was clearly more complex than the Dark Sea
Ghostly Tempest. It was more profound and, correspondingly,
more powerful. The final spirit design was also made up of
more component spirit designs. At least 100,000 spirit designs
formed this Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk.
When it transformed into a whip, it also had two spirit designs.
One was the Dark North Saintly Dragon Formation. This was
the mystical dragon that Wu Yu had encountered within the
Dark North Royal Obelisk. On further inspection, he could
sense that the Dark North Royal Obelisk's powers had a
different ring to it after transforming into an iron whip.
Besides that, its lethal spirit designs and attacks were different
from the longsword's. The iron whip's Offensive Spirit Designs
could also produce amazing effects, such as defensive,
binding, and suppressing effects.
This Dark North Saintly Dragon Formation was a combination
of all sorts of abilities because it was also the combined effect
of over 100,000 spirit designs. Every slash of the iron whip
brought death!
Finally, the last Offensive Spirit Design was called the Heaven
Swallowing 10,000 Rampaging Dragons Formation. The
swallowing here did not refer to the devouring ability, but
rather to rip and tear away at something. When this spirit
design was activated, 10,000 dragons would fill the air and
rampage through the battlefield, turning it into a depressing,
desolate mess. The power of this Heaven Swallowing 10,000
Rampaging Dragons Formation was probably similar to that of
the Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk. The former would
be better at killing individuals, while the latter would be
specialized for fighting groups. Within these spirit designs, no
life would be spared!
The four major Offensive Spirit Designs revolved around the
core Dark North Royal Obelisk Immortal Palace Design. With
one main and four supporting, it was truly an elite advanced
dao treasure that left people cringing in fear - the Dark North
Royal Obelisk.
"Although I gave up a lot in the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy, it was definitely worth it to acquire this Dark
North Royal Obelisk. All those princes and princesses must be
drooling over it."
However, Wu Yu now had the Heaven Devouring Avatar and
the Dark North Royal Obelisk, and he was as strong as they
were.
Right now, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was analyzing the
Dark North Royal Obelisk. This was an advanced dao treasure
prepared specially for the Heaven Devouring Avatar. Wu Yu's
real body had nothing to do. He cultivated his four main
mystiques. Each mystique still had room for progress.
As for challenging the puppets in the Floating Dreams Pagoda,
or entering the Demon Hall of Dao Techniques to refine dao
techniques, those were unnecessary for the moment.
On a closer look, Wu Yu realized that his offensive abilities
were truly varied, and each a valuable treasure. That was why
he fought like a demon, even though his cultivation level was
not high.
"How about a chat?" the Full Moon of Nanshan said quietly to
him.
Wu Yu lifted his head. This handsome, even beautiful, demon
youth had finally shaken off his happy-go-lucky demeanor, and
was now looking at Wu Yu with a serious face.
"Sure."
The Full Moon of Nanshan said, "Then I will speak frankly. Put
simply, the way I see it, we are like ants on the same line.
Hereon, whether you and I are willing or otherwise, we might
have to fight together for our mutual survival. Although we are
not yet that close, since we are on this path together, it's best
for us to open our hearts to each other. Forget the
brotherhood thing, we should at least be fast friends. That isn't
a problem."
The Full Moon of Nanshan was currently uncertain as well.
Wu Yu knew that in the Yan Huang Ancient Region, it was the
human cultivators who had the most power. Whether martial
cultivators or ghostly cultivators, they each had their own
nations. On this front, the demons had the least influence.
In the sea, demon power was strongest, but they were all sea
region demons. The sea region demons disdained the land
demons. The Full Moon of Nanshan, like Wu Yu, had a
monumental treasure on him - an immortal's legacy. He, too,
faced the same conundrum as Wu Yu, which was that they had
to depend on others, and yet have to constantly guard against
the older, stronger martial cultivators stealing all they had.
Therefore, he had long been worrying about where he should
go after leaving the Ghost Sea Prison.
After meeting Wu Yu, the two were in similar circumstances,
ailed by the same fate, and left to the same wandering.
Therefore, he had made up his mind to follow Wu Yu. If this
were the Dark North Kingdom, he would be very familiar with
the land. He was well informed about it, and would’ve been
sheltered by Princess You Xue alongside Wu Yu. It would not
have been a problem to reach immortalhood there, but he had
not expected to be heading to the Yan Huang Ancient Country
with Wu Yu, a place that was totally unfamiliar to him.
"I believe that you are someone worth working with. But for
me, the future in the Yan Huang Ancient Country is just too
opaque. I want to know what you know. No matter what, I've
already set off with you. I will definitely go with you to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country. I just want to be mentally prepared."
The Full Moon of Nanshan was seldom so serious and sincere.
"It was I who was too preoccupied with growing stronger, and
neglected you. Sorry." Wu Yu thought it over. He knew what
the Full Moon of Nanshan needed to know, and therefore
spoke of his encounters at Yan Huang Imperial City and at the
Taigu Immortal Path. This included the deaths and
reincarnations of Prince Le and the others.
"When I think about it, you're the one who knows most of my
secrets." Wu Yu was also embarrassed. Perhaps because of
their similar legacies, Wu Yu felt a liking for this guy.
"Reincarnation?" The Full Moon of Nanshan knew why Wu Yu
was afraid of Prince Le now.
"One must indeed be careful of someone who has died and
come back to life on the Taigu Immortal Path. But you are to
be his Kingmaker. That's troublesome." The Full Moon of
Nanshan frowned.

"Are you afraid?" Wu Yu asked.

The Full Moon of Nanshan shook his head, smiling. "Not so. I
still want to know what other secrets there are.... I just feel
like I’ve managed to get such an awesome legacy after such
difficulty. If I die, it won't be worth it. I wanted to grow strong
while keeping my head down, but I was tossed into the Ghost
Sea Prison while I was still weak. Seems like the gods don't
want me to squirrel away and cultivate. Now that I'm with you,
all eyes are on us. If that's the case, best to enjoy the wild ride,
and leave my mark behind on the world!"
This boar demon was quite a feisty one.
Wu Yu smiled. "Then we are in the same boat."
"Yes. I'm getting goosebumps from panic, just thinking of the
unknown Yan Huang Ancient Emperor and Prince Le. It's like
going up against a god. As for the others at the Yan Huang
Ancient Country, I don't think they're much. I know the power
of the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor. He himself crowned you
Kingmaker Le, and so Prince Le himself cannot destroy you
either. If others want to move on you secretly, they also have
to contend with the godlike Yan Huang Ancient Emperor.
Which means that as long as the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor
and Prince Le do not want to kill you, you can't die. And if you
can't die, I can't die. And for us, as long as we don't die, we
have a chance to flip this world on its head. Wouldn't you
say?"
The Full Moon of Nanshan saw quite clearly.
Wu Yu nodded. "You're right. We won't die. And if we don't
die, then it does not matter how many times we lose. It is all
cultivation fodder."
Wu Yu never feared defeat in battle!
Thus, he and the Full Moon of Nanshan both understood well
that the Yan Huang Ancient Country was even more suited to
them than the Dark North Kingdom. To put it simply, the one
protecting them had changed from Princess You Xue to the
world's strongest Yan Huang Ancient Emperor!
The only thing to worry about was the Yan Huang Ancient
Emperor himself.
And even Ming Long could not puzzle this riddle out. The old
geezer with the Full Moon of Nanshan could not either.
Many of the Full Moon of Nanshan's decisions were probably
also guided by the elder, Wu Yu suspected. After all, he was
also young, and not thorough in his thought process.
"Since that's the case, we might not be brothers in life and
death, but I, the Full Moon of Nanshan, and you, Wu Yu, are
friends bonded in life. Although there is great disparity in our
handsomeness, I have never been one to care about that
when making friends. After all, no one can be as handsome as
me. The main thing is our fate."
Towards the end, the Full Moon of Nanshan gave a self-
satisfied smile, and also opened his fan, allowing Wu Yu to
again admire the beautiful women on it.
"The road is long, and at this point it is best to compose a
poem. I see that you are a peasant, and in need of my cultured
teachings to make you a gentleman of breeding. Listen well
now, I'm about to compose a poem. Here goes."
He adopted a serious pose and tilted his chin upwards, sticking
out a finger and chanting, "The weather today is very good. I
am friends with Wu Yu. Oh, I am friends with Wu Yu. The
weather today is very good."
When he finished, he laughed loudly three times, very
satisfied. He began to clap for himself.
"You’re nuts." Wu Yu shook his head, speechless. This guy was
a work of art, but that was a good thing. At least in his fights
and on his journey, he would not be alone.
In the time that remained, the Heaven Devouring Avatar did
its best to study the four major Offensive Spirit Designs. Wu
Yu studied his four mystiques. When the Yan Huang Warship
halted, Wu Yu knew that he had arrived at the place he had
dreamed of: the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
Chapter 797: Yan Huang Immortal's Capital
Wu Yu's journey this time wasn't as simple as moving from the
Dark North Kingdom to the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
The spirit design borders of each martial cultivation kingdom
had certain limitations in height.
From the Dark North Kingdom to the Yan Huang Ancient
Country, they would have to get through several other martial
cultivation kingdoms. Through the journey, they had been
flying above these spirit design borders.
This time, they had basically moved from the northernmost
region of the Yan Huang Ancient Region to the central region.
The Yan Huang Ancient Country was huge, and it occupied the
three centermost continents.
The destination for Wu Yu's journey was naturally the most
central of the three continents. It was also the core of the Yan
Huang Ancient Country, known as the Central Region Divine
Continent.
The Central Region Divine Continent was the most prosperous
and lively continent in the entire Yan Huang Ancient Region. It
was also where powerful martial cultivators were the most
abundant in the entire Yan Huang Ancient Region.
The elites of the Yan Huang Tribe were largely gathered in this
place while pursuing the ultimate dream of immortalhood.
If one had to determine the core of this place, it would
undoubtedly be the capital of the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
This was the center of the entire Jambu Realm and also the
largest city in the Jambu Realm!
The Yan Huang Tribe addressed this place as the Immortal's
Capital.
Immortalhood was what all the Yan Huang Tribe strived for. In
fact, martial cultivators of other martial cultivation kingdoms
also desired to be here for deeper cultivation.
After all, this was the city with the most elite experts.
This was the territory of the royal family of the Yan Huang
Tribe and also the territory of those high-ranking officials,
nobles, and generals of Yan Huang.
People like Qu Yin, the Army General of the Yan Dragon Army,
might be seen as having a high standing in the Dark North
Kingdom. However, within the Immortal's Capital, there were
many people who had a higher standing than him.
This time, Wu Yu descended directly into the Immortal's
Capital in the Yan Dragon Warship.
The setting of the Immortal's Capital was similar to the Dark
North Capital in some aspects.
The Dark North Capital was an imperial city and the Immortal's
Capital was an imperial city as well.
The Imperial City belonged to the royal family of the Yan
Huang Tribe. Those who were allowed to live in the Imperial
City were basically only the royal family, the relatives of the
royal family, and their servants and followers.
Prince Le lived within the Imperial City.
"You are the Kingmaker Le, a follower of Prince Le. Therefore,
you shall stay within Prince Le's residence from here onwards.
Having the rights to stay within the Imperial City is a dream
that countless Yan Huang Tribe members have. Even I'm not
qualified to do so. Speaking of which, I'm a little envious of
you."
They were about to descend and therefore everyone had
gathered at the deck near the front of the warship. Qu Yin
spoke to Wu Yu.
Wu Yu wasn't particularly excited. For him, facing Prince Le
would be a challenge. Prince Le, himself wasn't frightening.
What was more frightening were the secrets he might be
carrying with him.
Wu Yu had been to the Taigu Immortal Path and knew how
mysterious the Taigu Immortal Path could be.
If it was possible, he would rather distance himself from Prince
Le.
It had been roughly half a year since they left the Yan Huang
Ancient Country to watch the Dark Noth Battle for Supremacy.
The people of the Yan Huang Ancient Country were eager to
get home. Therefore, they were euphoric at this moment,
wearing deep smiles on their faces.
Only Qu Fengyu appeared to be more emotionless.
"I'll send you to the entrance of the Imperial City in a while.
Forget it, it's better if I just send you directly to Prince Le's
residence. There are many people you don't know in the
Immortal's Capital. Considering that news of you arriving has
spread, there will likely be lots of spectators. However, you
have been through the Dark North Battle for Supremacy and
should be able to acclimatize to it well. It is just that the people
in the Immortal's Capital are much stronger than those in the
Dark North Capital."
Looking through the flames of the Yan Dragon Warship with
his Eyes of Fire and Gold, Wu Yu could vaguely see the majestic
and vast Immortal's Capital.
This was a huge city glittering in gold. When Wu Yu was looking
at it, he couldn't see the end of the city whether he looked left
or right.
It was said that the Immortal's Capital was five times the size
of the Dark North Capital. From this claim, Wu Yu could
estimate how large the Immortal's Capital was.
The glittering city he saw now was just the tip of the iceberg
of the Immortal's Capital.
Even though it was just the tip of the iceberg, the dense
spiritual qi that surrounded the city and the various strange
structures imbued with dense spirit designs were an eye-
opener for Wu Yu. Even the most ordinary brick on the street
had lots of spirit designs engraved on it.
Exactly because of this, even if people were to fight here, these
buildings and spirit designs wouldn't be destroyed easily.
Otherwise, if there weren't such spirit designs engraved on
top-grade precious materials, like in Capital Wu, any two
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators would destroy the
entire city if a fight broke out between them.
Although he couldn't see clearly, the majesty of the Immortal's
Capital still shook Wu Yu to the core.
The Immortal's Capital was the oldest city in the Yan Huang
Ancient Region. Even the most ordinary brick or rock had spirit
designs engraved on it over numerous generations by the Yan
Huang Tribe. The history of the most ordinary brick might be
even longer than some advanced dao treasures.
Generations of Yan Huang Tribe members created the
unprecedented and prosperous Yan Huang Immortal's Capital
of today through generations of hard work.
Within the Immortal's Capital, one could vaguely see one-
tenth of the total area shrouded in golden mist. This golden
mist was constantly morphing, sometimes into mystical
dragons, sometimes into phoenixes, and sometimes into other
immortal beasts.
Wu Yu didn't know the names, but he knew this mist was made
up of the most elite defensive and offensive spirit designs.
Numerous Yan Huang Tribe members had given the
Immortal's Capital the toughest and most elite spirit designs
throughout history!
It was said that the spirit designs around the Immortal's
Capital couldn't be broken even by immortals. Obviously, they
were now living in an era of great peace and there wouldn't be
anyone that dared to kick up a ruckus here. It was even less
likely that anyone would attack the Immortal's Capital.
Those elite spirit designs that had the most glamorous names
in history had not seen any use in a really long time. At this
point, they were largely serving as ornaments.
Since there were records, it was known that only one
existence had ever broken through the defensive spirit designs
of the Immortal's Capital. That was none other than the
Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.
Wu Yu wasn't clear about this, but Ming Long did know a little
about it.
Arriving at this place, she sighed emotionally. "It has been so
many years and yet the changes to the Immortal's Capital
haven't been huge. It's still as prosperous and fear-inducing."
At this point, before the watchful eyes of a crowd, Qu Yin's Yan
Dragon Warship descended before the city gates of the
Imperial City.
Qu Yin put his Yan Dragon Warship away amidst his laughter.
Wu Yu, the Full Moon of Nanshan, and the 100 Yan Huang
Tribe members landed on the ground.
This was the Immortal's Capital. Looking across, other than the
glittering and majestic buildings of the city, there were
numerous cultivators. Lots of them had been drawn over
because of Wu Yu.
Taking a closer look, he realized that the Yan Huang Tribe was
generally a notch stronger than those at the Dark North
Capital.

The middle-aged cultivators and old men he saw along the

streets had immense strength and exceptional dispositions.
Any one of them could have the strength of a grandmaster and
might just be an elite martial cultivator at the Dao Querying
Three Disasters Realm.
Taking a closer look at those teenagers and children, he
realized that they had exceptional talent. Even the weakest
would likely be on the level of the elite geniuses of the Dong
Sheng Divine Continent.
Those young children and teenagers with exceptional talent
could be spotted in the bunches. Moreover, they had their
own chivalrous vibes.
At this point, their eyes were searching in the crowd. Soon,
they saw Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Both of them were still very eye-catching. It was especially so
for the Full Moon of Nanshan, who was the only demon in the
group.
Typically, demons were rarely seen in the Immortal's Capital.
As for Wu Yu, he was easy to spot because of his Heaven
Devouring Avatar standing beside him. How could two
identical people with completely different dispositions not
draw the attention of others?
Those in the Immortal's Capital had all heard that Wu Yu had
a terrifying avatar.
"I see him! That's the young man right there. The one with a
white-haired, red-eyed avatar must be Wu Yu. I heard he's
from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and even clinched first
in the Dark North Battle for Supremacy."
"So that's the young man that the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor
has appointed as the Kingmaker Le personally with the Ancient
Emperor's Edict? He looks a little... a little too ordinary?"
"Yeah, he does look a little ordinary, and his cultivation level
seems really low. The Kingmakers of our Yan Huang Ancient
Country have talent at least similar to that of the princes and
princesses. The Kingmakers also have to be stronger than
them. After all, the Kingmakers have to protect the princes and
princesses."
"Wu Yu has likely clinched first in the Dark North Battle for
Supremacy by overcoming the princes and princesses of the
Dark North Kingdom. It is said that his strength is a given. You
have to believe it! That's the Ancient Emperor's Edict we are
talking about!"
Therefore, although many people were doubtful after seeing
the unknown Wu Yu, they shut their mouths instantly and
chose to believe in him at the thought of the Ancient
Emperor's Edict.
After all, how many years had it been since an Ancient
Emperor's Edict was issued?
All of them felt that Wu Yu had the greatest honor that one
could possess, and they were envious of him. Whether Wu Yu
could live up to his name was no longer important.
There were also many others who were observing Wu Yu from
the dark.
Although Wu Yu didn't take a closer look, there were at least
over 10,000 people. A small minority was in the open, while
the majority remained hidden. As for those that hid
themselves, they were likely those with higher status and
standing.
"Who could have expected this? The Ancient Emperor's Edict
has truly solidified my position in the Yan Huang Ancient
Country, and no one can possibly move this belief. Ordinary
people won't dare to provoke me. This is probably something
good for me," Wu Yu mumbled with deep feelings.
This was just as he had envisioned.
This was a form of protection from the Yan Huang Ancient
Emperor, and it was indeed much stronger than the protection
from Princess You Xue. They couldn't even be considered to
be at the same level. Wu Yu finally realized that he could
openly challenge himself in the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
Compared to when he was in the Dark North Kingdom, he
could go more wild and violent.
This was a more suitable place for his cultivation path. At
present, he had been living for the battles.
After arriving, those that went with Qu Yin to spectate the
Dark North Battle for Supremacy had basically all left.
A minority was from the Yan Dragon Army, while the rest were
from all corners of the Yan Huang Ancient Country. They were
now rushing back to their homes.
Till the end, Qu Fengyu didn't speak much. Instead, she made
her way into the crowd and left Wu Yu and the Full Moon of
Nanshan, who would be making their way to Prince Le's
residence.
Qu Yin would be leading Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan
into the Imperial City.
Before Wu Yu was an incomparably vast, majestic, and
glittering city gate. Beyond it would be the territory of the
royal family of Yan Huang.
That was also the most central land in the entire Jambu Realm,
the place with the densest spiritual qi. It was said that it was
even comparable to the sky palaces.
Chapter 798: Prince Yao and Three Immortals Kunwu
Crowds gathered at the Yan Huang Immortal's Capital city
gate. There were many people on the streets and in the sky.
Some were distinguishable as soldiers from the Yan Dragon
Army.
Other than these few soldiers clad in Yan Dragon Armor, there
were a few others.
It was said that there were a total of five great armies guarding
the Immortal's Capital.
This was the difference in strength between the Yan Huang
Ancient Country and the Dark North Kingdom. There were five
great armies here, and each of them was on par with the Dark
Sea Army of the Dark North Kingdom.
The Yan Dragon Army was one of the five.
Looking ahead, the army guarding the royal city today was
wearing a suit of dao treasure armor different from that of the
Yan Dragon Army. Obviously, this was another army.
Qu Yin was also someone important. He brought Wu Yu and
the Full Moon of Nanshan directly to the city gate.
The royal city was a very holy place. Usually, there were few
people passing through. If they were not summoned, most
people could not enter. Hence, there was actually not much
use for the army to stand guard here.
It was more to demonstrate their power to the public.
"Honored General Qu."
When Qu Yin neared the royal city gate, another general
greeted him. This general was very large and was wearing a
suit of golden armor. A golden mystical dragon was carved
onto the armor. It looked domineering and cool.
"I'm the Heaven Dragon General of the Huang Dragon Army—
—Zhao Xuanyin. Greetings, Honored General Qu. I'm guarding
the royal city gate today. This should be Wu Yu. Wu Yu has
been summoned via the Ancient Emperor's Edict. He naturally
can enter the royal city."
"Zhao Xuanyin, I know you."
Qu Yin nodded.
The Huang Dragon Army was one of the five greatest armies
in Immortal's Capital, and the Heaven Dragon General was the
general secondary only to the Army General. His ability was
not to be underestimated. He was on the same level as a dark
sky general from the Dark Sea Army.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qu Yin wanted to lead
Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan through the city gate
directly.
Zhao Xuanyin looked troubled and said, "There's no problem
with Wu Yu, but who is this demon? Demons cannot enter the
royal city."
He pointed to the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Qu Yin was mildly annoyed and said coldly, "This is Wu Yu's
follower who has always followed Wu Yu. Now that Wu Yu is
the Kingmaker Le, are you intending to separate him from his
follower? This is not my first time in the royal city. It is not as
though I do not know how many demons are inside."
Actually, he did not care whether the Full Moon of Nanshan
could enter the royal city or not. However, he knew that if he
was denied entry, then Wu Yu would voice his displeasure.
Now he only wanted to complete his mission properly. And
not have any other trouble.
Zhao Xuanyin actually just wanted to see the other party's
attitude. Since the other party was adamant, then even if
something happened, it would not be his responsibility. So he
quickly smiled and said, "I see, so he is Kingmaker Le's
follower. Of course he can follow Kingmaker Le. I'm just
checking his identity. Honorable General Qu, please forgive
my rudeness."
Zhao Xuanyin knew what to do so Qu Yin could not bother
seeking trouble with him. Now that Zhao Xuanyin had
permitted their entrance, he brought Wu Yu and the Full
Moon of Nanshan through the city gate. Other Huang Dragon
Army soldiers also let them pass.
Actually, they were also secretly observing Wu Yu's group.
Ever since his arrival here, Wu Yu realized that many people
were paying attention to him.
There were many who headed to the city gate upon hearing
news about Wu Yu's arrival.
They were about to enter the royal city. At the city gate, a
voice sounded from the front. There was another person
entering from outside. When Qu Yin recognized that person,
he quickly retreated to the side and made way for that person
to walk in the center lane.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yu could tell that this person had a
higher status than Qu Yin.
And very few people had higher status than Qu Yin in the Yan
Huang Immortal's Capital.
This made Wu Yu even more curious about his identity.
Usually, there were few people inside the royal city. The
chances were slim that someone would arrive just as he was
about to enter.
Hence, it was possible that this person had come here specially
for him.
Wu Yu also realized that there was a demon among the crowd.
That demon was in human form and was wearing a long, black
robe. Even though the black robe was loose-fitting, it could not
hide his strong muscles. He seemed to have long, golden hair.
Most of the time, he kept his head lowered and stood beside
his leader.
This leader was a young man about 100 years old. He was
obviously a member of the Yan Huang royal family. From the
way he carried himself, his gaze, and aura, he was much more
powerful than his peers out there. He was at least on par with
Prince You Yan and Prince You Yang of the Dark North
Kingdom. He was actually even stronger and more
domineering because of the dao of the Yan Huang Tribe.
Hence this person's gaze and aura were more oppressive and
stirred fear and the desire to escape in people whom he first
met.
Wu Yu saw a very obvious characteristic on the other party's
forehead. He remembered that there was a golden “Le” word
on Prince Le's forehead. This was a sign that all descendants of
the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor were born with. And in the
central position on this person's forehead was a golden sign,
and it probably was an ancient word that read as "Yao".
"The Yan Dragon Army’s Army General bringing Wu Yu, who
was summoned personally by the Ancient Emperor's Edict,
greets Prince Yao."
Wu Yu had just read that word, and beside him, Qu Yin had
already greeted the other party.
Yao had the meaning of the tallest mountain.

Obviously, the other party was a prince too and was Prince Le's
elder brother. Because the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor had
many descendants, the competition among the Yan Huang
royal family was fierce. The strongest and oldest prince was
reaching the realm of immortality right now. But this did not
mean that these young princes, like Prince Yao and Prince Le,
were not precious enough.
As the children of the strongest person in the Yan Huang
Ancient Region, they were born into a status higher than
others. Even the princes and princesses of other martial
cultivation kingdoms had to fearfully respect them.
Hence, even though he was just Prince Yao, Qu Yin had to treat
him with respect. This was the treatment for the Yan Huang
royal family!
After Prince Yao heard a voice, his eyes quickly swept past Wu
Yu, the Heaven Devouring Avatar, and the Full Moon of
Nanshan. His gaze lingered on Wu Yu and Heaven Devouring
Avatar for a few more seconds. He was expressionless and his
hands were clasped behind his back when he walked past Qu
Yin's group. When he neared them, he said, "Don't be in a
hurry to enter, I have something for you."
Qu Yin was confused and said, "Prince Yao, Wu Yu was
summoned here by the Ancient Emperor's Edict. I'm bringing
him to Prince Le's residence. From the moment he received
the Ancient Emperor's Edict, he was the Kingmaker Le."
Prince Yao stopped in his tracks. He was tall and big, hence he
looked down on them. It also felt like he was belittling Qu Yin.
He said, "Of course I know that. Don't sputter nonsense. Even
though it's Kingmaker Le, he has to come too."
This person was really overbearing. Qu Yin was speechless. He
did not like trouble from nothing, but Prince Yao was being
forceful and did not give him a chance to reject. Qu Yin was
unwilling to insult a prince. Since he just wanted them to not
enter the Imperial City, he did not mind and gave Wu Yu a look.
He led Wu Yu, who had just entered the city gate, and followed
Prince Yao out again.
There was a wide parade square outside the city gate. It was
expansive. There were many people here before, but because
Wu Yu had entered the royal city, the crowd dispersed quickly.
Many people did not expect that Prince Yao would force Wu
Yu and Qu Yin out here a moment later.
Wu Yu was also depressed. He was someone with the Ancient
Emperor's Edict, but this Prince Yao seemed to not recognize
that and wanted to make things difficult for him. What would
he get? He could not fathom.
But Prince Yao would quickly reveal his motives to everyone
and Wu Yu.
It was quite interesting to see this group gathering at the royal
city gate. News immediately spread. Many people were
originally uninterested, but upon hearing that it was Prince
Yao who had stopped Wu Yu, many came forth to see what
was going on.
Under the watchful eyes of the people, Prince Yao stared at
both of Wu Yu's bodies and said directly, "I've proposed
several times to have Jin Yuan become my Kingmaker. Now
Royal Uncle Yong, who is handling the affairs of the country,
has not approved it. I heard that Kingmaker Le defeated Prince
You Yan in the Dark North Kingdom. I did not witness it
personally since I was at the Immortal's Capital. Even with the
guarantee of my Emperor Father, I still want to personally test
your ability! Jin Yuan is no weaker than you. So, with Qu Yin as
the witness, if Jin Yuan defeats Wu Yu, then the next time I
propose him to be my Kingmaker to Royal Uncle Yong, Lord Qu
has to support me. You just have to let him know of today's
situation."
Wu Yu finally understood.
The Jin Yuan he referred to was probably the demon beside
him.
Prince Yao wanted this demon to be his Kingmaker. Perhaps
the two had a good relationship, but other than the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor, only Royal Uncle Yong had the authority to
bestow the status of Kingmaker. Under the usual
circumstances, the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor would not
bother with these small matters at all. Hence, this was under
the purview of Royal Uncle Yong.
And Prince Yao's proposal for Jin Yuan to be his Kingmaker had
not been approved by Royal Uncle Yong. Hence, he was
unhappy. Now that Wu Yu was here as the Kingmaker of Prince
Le, he obviously wanted to make use of Wu Yu to prove Jin
Yuan's talent and convince Royal Uncle Yong.
Jin Yuan was that burly demon beside him. Wu Yu used the
Eyes of Fire and Gold to see through his true form. He was
actually a golden lion. The key was that this lion had three
huge heads! Such demons had a powerful bloodline and were
definitely rare. The conditions for his birth would be very
tough!
Ming Long was surprised and said, "Such demons are called
Three Immortals Kunwu. It has a powerful bloodline and the
potential to grow into something of the level of a king. They
should not be underestimated. This is no doubt the Yan Huang
Immortal's Capital. We have just arrived, yet we can see
demons such as this Three Immortals Kunwu."
It was because this demon was of high birth and had
guaranteed potential that Prince Yao, after serious
consideration, wanted to give him the status of Kingmaker
Yao. In the end, Royal Uncle Yong had refused to approve and
so he was stuck. This made Prince Yao very angry.
After finding out the other party's motive, Qu Yin said in a
depressed tone, "Prince Yao, since ancient times, demons
becoming Kingmakers...."
"Shut up. I checked. There are precedents. While not many,
since there were previous cases, why can't I?" Prince Yao
waved his hands impatiently and then turned his focus onto
Wu Yu.
Chapter 799: Fighting Together
At this moment, the demon the Three Immortals Kunwu took
off his wide hood and revealed his face. His face was fierce and
majestic. He even had a pair of fangs. He did look like a lion,
and had a similar aura to the Yan Huang royal family.
When the others heard that Prince Yao was here, they knew
that something interesting was about to unfold.
Prince Yao had been pushing for Kingmaker Yao and did not
get approval. It made him furious. People in the Yan Huang
Immortal's Capital all knew that other princes of his age
already had their Kingmakers.
Now even Prince Le, who was about half his age, had
Kingmaker Le, who had been appointed personally by the Yan
Huang Ancient Emperor. This made him feel even more
resentful towards Royal Uncle Yong.
After all, someone like Wu Yu did not even have to go through
any background checks, nor did he have to pass any trials, yet
he had managed to become a Kingmaker. Why did Royal Uncle
Yong have to be so strict towards him?
Wu Yu had just arrived, so Prince Yao did not mind establishing
his dominance with him. At the same time, he was also proving
to the Yan Huang Immortal's Capital the heaven-defying ability
of the Three Immortals Kunwu. He believed that once
everyone witnessed the ability of the Three Immortals Kunwu,
they would all feel that such a talented demon should be
retained and bestowed a good status and identity.
This was a method that Prince Yao could use to pressure Royal
Uncle Yong. Royal Uncle Yong was, after all, not the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor - he was only in charge of internal affairs
during this period of time. The person in charge changed every
decade, and they were the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor's
brothers.
Prince Yao need not be polite to him. He only needed his
approval.
Just right, Wu Yu appeared now when he had yet to find the
chance to display the abilities of the Three Immortals Kunwu.
Hence, he was not here on impulse. He made this decision
after thinking for a long time.
Besides, he was determined to get his way.
Qu Yin naturally saw through his persistence. If he stopped
Prince Yao now, then Prince Yao would definitely harbor
hatred towards him in the future. That was not a worthy loss.
He thought to push this problem to Wu Yu and make it his
decision instead. He asked, "This is Prince Yao's situation, will
you be willing to show the glory that you displayed at the Dark
North Battle for Supremacy in front of the people of the
Immortal's Capital? By the way, since you've returned to the
Yan Huang Ancient Country, it is time to prove to your fellow
Yan Huang Tribe members that you not only have the Ancient
Emperor's Edict, but also the ability worthy of it."
His words obviously leaned towards Wu Yu accepting this
challenge.
After all, he knew that if Wu Yu wanted to flourish at the
Immortal's Capital, he had to have a certain amount of power.
The name he had made for himself at the Dark North Kingdom
was not enough. He needed to let the Yan Huang Tribe witness
what he, Wu Yu, was made of!
This would benefit him. If he was victorious, then more would
fearfully respect him. However, if he lost, then he would
become Prince Yao and Jin Yuan's stepping stone.
Wu Yu could tell that the way this pair looked at each other
was different. There was a sense of closeness and familiarity,
a feeling of willingness to make sacrifices for each other. It was
similar to Jiang Junlin and Yuan Chen, who he had met at the
Dong Yue Wu Kingdom.[1]
This was beyond race and gender.... But it was said that this
was common amongst martial cultivators because in martial
cultivation, reciprocal assistance and communication on a
spiritual level was valued. Some confidants might not be of the
opposite gender. Hence, while they would not become dao
companions, they shared a life similar to dao companions.
Usually, this was the freedom of martial cultivators. No one
cared. However, it was difficult for Prince Yao because he was
born to the Yan Huang royal family.
Prince Yao was unorthodox after all. Thus, it seemed that he
was a little different. Of course this also showed how
important this fight was to Prince Yao.
Hence, everyone waited for Wu Yu's reply.
Heavy pressure rolled out and pressed onto Wu Yu!
Prince Yao looked at him fiercely, his gaze burning.
Deathly silence.
However, at this point, Wu Yu said easily, calmly, and with a
smile, "I'm sorry, I don't need a demon to prove my ability. The
Ancient Emperor has made me Kingmaker Le, then I'm
Kingmaker Le. Prince Yao, are you going to forcibly attack
me?"
If the other party was treating him like a tool to reach a certain
goal, and he agreed, then he would be in a passive position.
People had heard stories of Wu Yu and guessed that he would
agree no matter what. This was unexpected. Everyone was
eager to watch a fight, hence many shouted, "Don't sprout any
more nonsense, just start the fight!"
"So many are watching, don't be cowardly, just go for it!"
"Wu Yu, you acted so majestically at the Dark North Kingdom.
Have you become cowardly after coming to the Yan Huang
Ancient Country?"
Many jeers and scoldings turned into pressure on Wu Yu.
These people were here for a good show and were not afraid
of blowing things up. They all goaded him to stir him into
starting a hot-blooded battle.
Indeed, as Qu Yin had said, Wu Yu needed to prove his ability
to establish his dominance after coming to the Immortal's
Capital. This was Yan Huang. His dominance in the Dark North
was nothing here. The Yan Huang Tribe only trusted what they
saw. Hence, before Wu Yu made a move, they all desired to
know what ability Wu Yu had!
When everyone was goading him, Wu Yu remained calm and
leisurely. His words took a sharp turn and he said, "But, Prince
Yao, don't be anxious. My follower is eager to fight your Jin
Yuan. He is also a demon, called the Full Moon of Nanshan. He
is my brother, and his ability is no weaker than mine. If Prince
Yao wants to use me to establish dominance, he can fight
instead. If you don't believe it, you can try."
With these words, many people stopped goading. They looked
at each other and were speechless. It was bad that he had not
accepted the challenge. He had actually used such a method
to respond to Prince Yao. This was belittling Prince Yao. This
was serious. In an instant, even Qu Yin was depressed. He
wanted to stop Wu Yu, but he was too late.
Now the tension increased.

But Prince Yao was very gracious and was not upset. He
realized that Wu Yu was not one to be easily bullied. With that
in mind, he looked at Wu Yu and said, "If Jin Yuan defeats your
follower, you should be up next. Hiding behind a demon
follower is not honorable and does not match your fame!"
He meant that if Jin Yuan defeated the Full Moon of Nanshan,
then Wu Yu would have to battle. At that moment, he could
no longer hide.
Actually, what Wu Yu had said previously was suggested by the
Full Moon of Nanshan. He desired a fight with the Three
Immortals Kunwu. In terms of bloodline, he was too low born
as a normal wild boar, compared to the Three Immortals
Kunwu. It was like comparing the heavens and earth.
It was because of this that he was not convinced. He wanted
to use his immortal's legacy to challenge this honored
bloodline. Of course, he also had his own agenda. He was
young and wanted to be famous in the Yan Huang Ancient
Region too! In the past, he had no background and was alone.
He dared not make any moves to attract attention. However,
the situation was different now. He had announced publicly
that he was following Wu Yu. Wu Yu had the protection of the
Ancient Emperor's Edict, and so would he. Hence, to him, this
was an opportunity to show off.
"I want to beat the shit out of this huge, golden kitty." The Full
Moon of Nanshan was eager to try. Just right, Wu Yu had not
seen his ability, so he was willing to go first.
If the Full Moon of Nanshan won, then he would not need to
move at all and could already use this opportunity to establish
dominance.
But Prince Yao had only targeted him and was adamant about
having him fight. Since that was the case, Wu Yu had an idea.
He was actually someone who enjoyed battles too. He loved a
passionate, all-out battle. The current situation fulfilled the
conditions and, thinking about the Ancient Emperor's Edict, he
really had nothing to be cautious of.
Hence, he suddenly raised his voice and replied to Prince Yao,
"That seems redundant. Just my brother is enough for your Jin
Yuan to display himself. If Prince Yao must test Wu Yu's ability,
then we can have a friendly fight between us. Two battles,
wouldn't that be more interesting?"
Wu Yu's method was no doubt raising the level to answer
Prince Yao. Actually, Prince Yao had no intention of fighting
personally. He only wanted to use Wu Yu to make Royal Uncle
Yong acknowledge the ability of the Three Immortals Kunwu.
Hence, when Wu Yu spread the fires of battle onto him, he was
full of shock and could not react.
Not only him, even Qu Yin and the surrounding spectators
were in shock too. Everyone was shocked and looked at Wu
Yu in disbelief. They could not react immediately. Qu Yin
reacted the fastest and quickly said, "Rude! Wu Yu, is Prince
Yao someone for you to challenge!?"
Wu Yu's words had raised this battle into another level.
Previously, Prince Yao had the upper hand and was leading the
situation by the nose. Now the tables had turned.
Except when Wu Yu, both the real body and Heaven Devouring
Avatar, stared at Prince Yao with passionate eyes filled with
the intention of battle, and under the watchful eyes of the
audience, Prince Yao actually had no path of retreat. Wu Yu
had said that at the best moment, and Prince Yao could hardly
reject. After all, it was he who had provoked Wu Yu first. Now
that he was being counter-challenged, he would not and could
not retreat first!
Besides, Prince Yao was angered. He was angry and laughed as
he said, "You really are daring. It is no wonder you caused such
fanfare at the Dark North Battle for Supremacy. This courage
is refreshing and worthy of respect. But have you thought of
the possibility of being defeated in Yan Huang, never to stand
again? After all, attacks never are merciful. If we hold back,
then the fight will not be enjoyable."
"Prince Yao, don't worry. Whether I live or die is my own
responsibility, it is the same for the Full Moon of Nanshan."
He turned back to look at the Full Moon of Nanshan. Today,
they would fight together. At the same time, this was also a
competition between him and the Full Moon of Nanshan. Wu
Yu did not want the other party to win, while he lost.
To be honest, Prince You Yan was a 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivator. He was no weaker than Prince You
Yan, and Wu Yu's avatar had weakened due to previous
injuries. The only variable factor was his Dark North Royal
Obelisk.
But Wu Yu was willing to challenge his limits and the
impossible.
To him, only battles in which victory was a mystery were worth
fighting bravely!
To him, even defeat was nothing much.
1. The Heavenly Immortal guy’s son and his... “close friend.”
Chapter 800: Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal
From the beginning, Wu Yu was never an easy target for
bullying. Prince Yao wanted to bully into submission and had
not expected this tit for tat.
With his honorable status, he had never been rebutted by
someone lesser than a prince. He must have been furious. The
Three Immortals Kunwu Jin Yuan beside him was originally a
short-tempered demon. At this moment, his nose was huffing
out thick, golden fog. He was breathing heavily as though he
was growling. His breaths attracted much attention.
"I alone can take three of you!" The Three Immortals Kunwu
took a step forward. Many spirit designs immediately took
shape beneath his feet. The floor that was originally tiled with
precious materials cracked into multiple lines beneath his feet.
"That's enough, you just have to show your skills by defeating
that demon. Let me play with Wu Yu. Let us from the Yan
Huang Tribe see what ability Wu Yu has that defeated Prince
You Yan." While Prince Yao was angered, he was still calm.
Wu Yu said, "Prince Yao, do you mean it's alright for both
battles to be carried out simultaneously? That's great, then I
can compete with my brother to see who defeats their
opponent first."
Daring!
It was unexpected for Wu Yu to be even prouder than Prince
Yao! He was new here, and someone who had just arrived at
a foreign place should be humble. It was unexpected that he
did not lay low and instead spoke so proudly. This was a
surprise, and it also infuriated Prince Yao.
A simple competition had turned into an all out provocation!
Even more unexpected was what the handsome Full Moon of
Nanshan did. He waved his indescribable fan, smiled, and said,
"Naturally that would be me. This little kitty is not even
enough to fill even the gaps between my teeth."
Each one of them was prouder than the other. While everyone
was shocked, they were also looking forward to the battle. The
tension had risen to this level. How could the following battle
be boring?
Of course, Wu Yu was still somewhat considered an outsider.
These people needed more time to accept him, so most of
them stood behind Prince Yao.
"Prince Yao, quickly bash their mouths in!"
"I want to see if they have abilities other than foolish courage
and sharp tongues."
"Their true colors will be revealed soon."
The great Three Immortals Kunwu was described by the Full
Moon of Nanshan as a little kitten. Jin Yuan was naturally even
more furious. It was useless for Prince Yao to hold him back
now. He headed straight towards the Full Moon of Nanshan
with ferocious eyes. A big battle was inevitable.
Qu Yin saw the situation. He need not stop them, since this
was a fight between the two. As long as there were no deaths,
there was nothing to be concerned about. The Yan Huang
Ancient Country had a fierce culture, and it was normal for
fights to break out when disagreements occurred.
But Qu Yin still did something. He took out two transparent
balls from his Sumeru Pouch and suddenly threw them into
the sky.
"It's the Virtual Battlefield!" people shouted in surprise.
Wu Yu took one look and realized that this was a dao treasure.
However, it was a special dao treasure. It was mainly used to
carry spirit designs and had no offensive powers. While it was
not an advanced dao treasure, it was powerful in a certain
aspect.
Indeed, this Virtual Battlefield was mysterious. It expanded
instantly and, in the blink of an eye, turned into a bubble that
was soft but could not burst. There was a large space inside.
At this moment, the two bubbles surrounded Wu Yu and
Prince Yao, as well as the Full Moon of Nanshan and the Three
Immortals Kunwu. One bubble became one battlefield. Wu Yu
and Prince Yao were in one battlefield.
He suddenly felt as though he was cut off from the outside
world. The battlefield was large, but there were limits, and
that limit was the bubble’s wall. It looked thin, but since Qu
Yin had used it to prevent Wu Yu and the others from
destroying the Yan Huang Immortal's Capital, then it had to be
something of a level that Wu Yu currently could never break
through.
Of course, on Wu Yu's side were his real body and avatar. So it
looked like there were three people here. Two Wu Yus facing
one.
With this Virtual Battlefield, they would not need to worry
about accidentally injuring others. Also, the walls of Virtual
Battlefield would expand as they expanded. The people
outside only needed to evade.
Everyone could watch the battle in peace. Watching a battle
was beneficial for others. As they notified more people, the
audience increased in number. The Yan Huang Tribe members
all looked on with passion. They were unwilling to miss even a
second.
Wu Yu had not begun, but the Three Immortals Kunwu and the
Full Moon of Nanshan acted as though they had met their
mortal enemies and had started their battle. They used their
human forms first to test each other. The Three Immortals
Kunwu originally thought that he could easily take the Full
Moon of Nanshan down with brute strength, but they just
exchanged blows and he immediately realized that the Full
Moon of Nanshan was very difficult to handle!
The Full Moon of Nanshan's mystiques and dao techniques
were all mysterious. For instance, his invisibility. Another
instance were the illusions that he used on Wu Yu. These were
all hard to defend against. And while the Three Immortals
Kunwu had three heads, he was a demon that relied on brute
force. He was weaker in spiritual aspects, so the Full Moon of
Nanshan had a great advantage over him!
The Three Immortals Kunwu was also a 10th tier Primordial
Spirit Transformation cultivator. Wu Yu guessed that the Full
Moon of Nanshan was also at this tier. If not, he would not
have accepted this fight. He had not seen the Full Moon of
Nanshan truly exhibit his powers.
The battle here looked weird. The Three Immortals Kunwu
instantly entered a highly berserk state. Obviously, his spirit
was being disturbed by the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Comparatively, the Full Moon of Nanshan disappeared and
reappeared from time to time, laughing heartily. The battle
had just started, and it felt like he had the upper hand.
This shocked everyone.
Prince Yao's heart was a little shaken. His goal today was
mainly to exhibit Jin Yuan. Now Jin Yuan had sunken into a
bitter fight and the situation was tenuous. His worries were
useless. At this moment, two Wu Yus with different auras
stood before him. One actually instantly transformed into a
golden ape. He held an advanced dao treasure with thousands
of dragons intertwined on it and looked majestic. Golden
flames spread. This was practically the embodiment of the
ability of the Yan Huang Tribe. It was even purer and more
outstanding than what many of the Yan Huang Tribe
possessed!
Under the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, Wu Yu's
real body instantly increased in size and turned into a giant!
His Heaven Devouring Avatar hid behind him. Those blood red
eyes were fixed onto Prince Yao. The Dark North Royal Obelisk
had yet to be drawn out.

This was the combination, golden hair and blood-red hair

dancing wildly! One was domineering and suppressive! The
other was cold and bloodthirsty. While Prince Yao was
confident, he was still shocked by Wu Yu at this moment. He
realized that Wu Yu could easily raise fearful respect in people.
He could no longer pay attention to Jin Yuan's battle because
it was obvious Wu Yu could fight him!
Prince Yao realized that this would be a difficult fight! And it
was he who had initiated this fight.
"Maybe this is a chance for me to stand out from the other
princes!"
"Wu Yu, since you have enough ability then become my
stepping stone!"
Prince Yao no longer split his attention to watch Jin Yuan even
though the battlefield on that end was causing the audience
to gasp repeatedly. He forced his attention away because at
this moment, Wu Yu already had his two bodies attacking him
simultaneously!
For the first step, the golden ape blew on a handful of fur.
Instantly, fur flew and covered the sky, transforming into
10,000 Wu Yu doppelgangers. Each and every one of them had
weapons!
"Blood Weeping World Technique!" The battle had just begun,
and the first move he threw out was the dao technique from
the Demon Hall of Dao Techniques! 10,000 people used this
dao technique simultaneously. Even though the
doppelgangers only had Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy
comparable to fourth or fifth tier Violent Kingdom of the Inner
Sea cultivators, 10,000 of them gathered together with Wu
Yu's real body was a force to be reckoned with!
When these 10,000 people appeared, the whole Virtual
Battlefield's range was expanded. The Virtual Battlefield
expanded rapidly, forcing the audience to retreat.
The Blood Weeping World Technique would have had its
powers reduced if he had to control it to avoid hurting the
audience. At this point, the Virtual Battlefield helped him
greatly. Qu Yin had confined Wu Yu's attacks to within the
Virtual Battlefield!
Instantly, people saw the entire Virtual Battlefield swallowed
by blood red color. Ear-piercing and soul-tearing shrieks
emerged from the Blood Weeping World. They were sharp like
countless blades slashing through the entire Virtual
Battlefield!
Prince Yao's expression changed. He indeed had no more
chance to look at the Three Immortals Kunwu. He could only
pay full attention to his battle with Wu Yu!
"Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal!" At the moment the
Blood Weeping World Technique attacked, he quickly drew
out a dao treasure in a hurry. It was a large, golden seal. It
looked like a golden mountain covered with runes. Under the
Prince's control, the runes twisted and changed. Before Wu
Yu's Blood Weeping World Technique could engulf him, the
Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal appeared before Prince Yao
and transformed into a huge, golden seal. It stood guard above
his head and covered him in golden light!
Wu Yu's fierce Blood Weeping World Technique attack landed
on the Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal's protective light.
However, with the other party's vibrant Violet Kingdom
Primordial Energy and with this advanced dao treasure and its
activated spirit design, the Blood Weeping World Technique
actually could not penetrate the opponent's defences any
time soon!
"Giant Wheel Sword of Dawn!"
It was obvious that Prince Yao was unhappy with Wu Yu's
method of fighting and gaining the upper hand in the
beginning. He took out his advanced dao treasures
consecutively to counter attack Wu Yu. After he protected
himself from Wu Yu's attacks with the Overturning Heaven
Emperor Seal, a huge, golden sword appeared in his hands.
The most noticeable features of this huge sword were its blade
and hilt. It was a disk composed of a complex combination of
spirit designs and several shining gems. The disk was like a
golden wheel, and it was in constant rotation. Every time it
rotated, the countless spirit designs on the blade would shine
brightly, and the waves of its power were very fierce!
With the protection of Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal, he
grabbed onto the Giant Wheel Sword of Dawn with both
hands again! The sword swept across and a golden arc
followed with the sword slash. Where the sword passed, at
least 100 of Wu Yu's doppelgangers were cut in half!
"Die!" Prince Yao was full of confidence. Wu Yu's attacks were
momentarily ineffective against him.
Wu Yu naturally realized that too. This battle was a challenge,
but he was not afraid of this challenge.
Hua!
Everyone gasped in shock again. This time it was not because
of Wu Yu, but because the Three Immortals Kunwu and the
Full Moon of Nanshan had already taken their true forms to
battle.
Chapter 801: Battle in the Immortal's Capital
Prince Yao controlled the Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal
and swung his Giant Wheel Sword of Dawn. He used the two
advanced dao treasures at the same time and blocked Wu Yu's
Blood Weeping World Technique. And he started killing Wu
Yu's doppelgangers.
Under such circumstances, even though the other side had
used their true form to battle, Wu Yu also had no attention to
spare. All his attention was focused on fighting his opponent.
He saw vaguely that the Three Immortals Kunwu had turned
into a lion and was burning with flames. He looked majestic,
and the most outstanding things were his three huge lion
heads. One lion head was majestic and domineering enough.
With three heads, his fierce aura could stun everyone!
Comparatively, the Full Moon of Nanshan had turned into a
black boar, and this was the most common boar. He was burly
and rough with a set of upturned tusks. He was filled with
strength. While he had no advantage in terms of bloodline,
when he fought the Three Immortals Kunwu, he was actually
not losing. He even had a feeling of purity.
Obviously, the immortal Marshal Tian Peng's legacy had made
some changes to his bloodline too, just like what happened
with Wu Yu's body.
Compared to the demons' battle, there were more people
focused on Wu Yu's battle. After all, Wu Yu's 10,000 identical
doppelgangers were too shocking.
"Holy Elephant Hell-shocking Technique!" The Unshackled
Doppelgangers was one big advantage. When using such a dao
technique, he could exhibit this advantage fully. Hence, all the
doppelgangers used the Holy Elephant Hell-shocking
Technique simultaneously!
Including Wu Yu's real body, the Holy Elephant Hell-shocking
Technique exploded shockingly. Countless giant, golden
elephants trumpeted at an ear deafening volume. Under Wu
Yu's control, they merged and thundered in the direction of
his 10,000 Dragons Staff, rushing and knocking into Prince
Yao!
Prince Yao flipped his hand and used the Overturning Heaven
Emperor Seal to block again! The gigantic elephant crashed
onto the Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal.
RUMBLE!
An explosion, and the entire Virtual Battlefield trembled again.
It was vibrating vigorously as though it was about to be torn
apart! This was evidence of the fierce battle.
While Wu Yu's real body's Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy
was still lacking, with the combined power of 10,000
doppelgangers, he was terrifying. His opponent was a 10th tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivator. Hence, he
successfully blocked Wu Yu's attack. However, he was knocked
away by this strength and crashed!
"Hmph! It looks weird, but that's all!" Prince Yao laughed
loudly. He appeared before Wu Yu again. He was really a little
worried when he first saw Wu Yu's doppelgangers. However,
after these two exchanges of blows, he realized that Wu Yu's
doppelgangers were indeed weaker. Even Wu Yu's real body
was weaker than a 10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
Cultivator.
This gave him enough confidence!
"It's my turn!" Prince Yao uttered this sentence, which
attracted more attention.
Wu Yu's eyes were burning hot. He did not reply, as though his
weakness had been pinpointed by his opponent.
Actually, he was going to rely purely on his avatar to defeat
Prince You Yan. If not for having improved, it would indeed be
impossible for him to fight an enemy this strong.
Prince Yao was adept in dao techniques and mystiques of the
earth element. Now the first change was obviously for
exhibiting his mystique!
"Golden Body of Mighty Earth!"
Within a short period of time, his blood and flesh body seemed
to have transformed into earth. His body was even cracked
from dryness as though he would shatter any moment. But
what was really attention-grabbing were the few blood-
colored words on his body. These ancient words turned into a
rune. It twisted and wriggled, changing constantly. It was
weird.
While this mystique looked unimpressive, it was actually
extremely strange. As expected, as Wu Yu was pondering the
power of this mystique. The other party's body had already
transformed into sand and scattered. It reformed
continuously. This was similar to the indestructible body of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar. Obviously, it would be difficult to
hurt him!
"Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains!"
Prince Yao was not holding back. After using his first mystique,
he did not attack, but immediately used another mystique.
Each time he used one, the audience was wowed. Now there
were two advanced dao treasures protecting him. With the
addition of these two great mystiques, Wu Yu's life was in
danger!
Under the transformation of his mystique, soil appeared out
of nowhere. This soil transformed into boulders and
congregated in front of his eyes. Within a short period of time,
it actually transformed into a giant beast. That giant beast was
as big as the Three Immortals Kunwu and was made of
boulders and soil. It was extremely strong and was steaming
with strong flames. When it moved, the surrounding space
shivered!
With one look at this Golden Body of Mighty Earth, in addition
to this Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains, everyone knew
that Prince Yao was giving it his all. His attacks were indeed no
weaker than Prince You Yan’s!
But Wu Yu had always liked to keep his battles short and fast!
All of his doppelgangers were actually just a cover for him.
Now his real body was standing in front of the other party and
his avatar was behind his opponent.
Today's battle still mainly depended on the Heaven Devouring
Avatar. His real body was still mainly used to attract the
attention of his opponent. Hence, at this moment, his real
body waved the 10,000 Dragons Staff and activated its spirit
designs. He also used the power of the Lawful Embodiment of
Heaven and Earth and the Violent Art. Wu Yu’s power was
exhibited to the fullest. Such power was still threatening
towards a 10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
cultivator!
"Prince Yao, please try this move." Wu Yu smiled strangely
and, in the blink of an eye, his aura rushed to the sky! It was a
heaven-defying blow. It ignored the Giant Flaming Beast of the
Mountains and rushed towards Prince Yao. At this moment,
the Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains had not been
formed yet as Prince Yao was in the midst of using this
mystique.
"Hmph! Pathetic tricks."
Prince Yao said in disdain before using the Overturning Heaven
Emperor Seal again to block Wu Yu. Wu Yu had used his dao
technique to attack before, but it was useless against the
Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal.
Rumble!
This time, the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design was
initiated, and as soon as Wu Yu's staff landed, the 10,000
Dragons Staff turned into a Golden Millstone! Countless
golden sand grains rubbed and pressed against each other,
letting out an ear-piercing sound. With the huge strength that
Wu Yu's physical body had used, it slammed onto the
Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal at a terrifying speed!
This power was boosted by the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven
and Earth and the Violent Art. In this instant, his power was at
least six times his normal physical strength. It was further
bolstered with his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy. This was
practically the limit of Wu Yu's real body!
The huge Golden Millstone turned and hit the Overturning
Heaven Emperor Seal. Prince Yao had underestimated Wu Yu
- he did not expect the Overturning Heaven Emperor Seal to
be bashed aside. After the crash, the Golden Millstone was still
rotating fiercely, and with a whoosh, it surrounded Prince Yao.
Countless golden sand grains turned their sharp edges and
pressed onto Prince Yao crazily!
The true effect of the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation
Design was seen at this point! This was the limit of his real
body!
Hu, hu, hu!
Because he had underestimated Wu Yu's move, his second
mystique was interrupted at the point where it was almost
completed. The Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains was
flawed and did not possess peak strength.
Even so, the Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains roared
furiously and rushed towards him. Its huge palm tore as it tried
to destroy the Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design.
However, it was no easy feat. Even though he had used his last
bit of brute strength to destroy the spirit design, Wu Yu's
attack still managed to shred its palm!

But Prince Yao was also using the Golden Body of Mighty Earth
and rushed out. Now Prince Yao was furious and fire sprouted
from his nostrils. He thought that now it was his turn to show
off and did not expect to be suppressed by Wu Yu again!
"Die!
"World Destroying Supreme Technique! “
Once Prince Yao appeared, he used a powerful dao technique
on Wu Yu's real body. At this moment, Wu Yu had just
withdrawn his 10,000 Dragons Staff!
The battle between these two was a series of impressive
moves. It was very exciting! This was a true battle between
martial cultivators. They were tense throughout the entire
battle and used all sorts of mystiques. This was not just a
simple barrage of dao techniques and mystiques on each
other. It was a battle between opponents on par. The more
risky it was, the more they had to use their brains.
It was an eye-opener for many of the spectators today. At least
until now, both battles were very exciting!
Especially on Wu Yu's side, with various dao techniques. It was
very mysterious! It was eye-opening! Many who had not
reached their cultivation level learned something from this
battle!
At this moment, in the midst of gasps from the audience,
Prince Yao's dao technique became a great threat for Wu Yu's
real body!
Before this, Wu Yu had withdrawn his doppelgangers but was
still slightly slower. With the other party's dao technique, he
only had about 1,000 doppelgangers left, and they were all
torn apart!
The scene of many Wu Yus being torn apart was quite
spectacular!
At this point, with Prince Yao as the start, a wave swept
towards Wu Yu. Everywhere it went, space crumbled and was
destroyed. Everything turned into dust. Wu Yu had just
withdrawn the 10,000 Dragons Staff when that fatal danger
reached him. Everyone could see that he could not evade this!
Wu Yu was also shocked. This seemingly simple dao technique
actually had strong waves. If these waves swept through him,
his body would be torn into meat slices. While he might not
die, he did not want to suffer such grave injuries!
"Somersault Cloud!"
Hence, Wu Yu did not hold back and shocked the audience
again. His real body was about to be destroyed by his
opponent when he somersaulted and disappeared instantly.
Prince Yao's attack landed on empty space!
Wu Yu had disappeared from everyone's line of sight!
"How is that possible? He disappeared!" There were many Dao
Querying experts at the scene, but they were confused at this
moment too!
"This is not that wild boar's invisibility trick, because even if he
hid, he could not hide from that attack. He has completely
disappeared! And gone somewhere else!"
"Impossible!" someone shouted loudly. As they were
shouting, Prince Yao was more shocked than them. He
thought he could defeat Wu Yu. Who knew that his opponent
had actually disappeared at this crucial juncture. His dao
technique had landed on nothing. His strength was wasted,
and even when the Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains
rushed up, he could not find Wu Yu!
This battle changed again.
Before Prince Yao was surprised again, the audience actually
gasped again! Because someone in the audience was sharp-
eyed and saw that the white-haired, red-eyed Wu Yu was
finally attacking. A pitch black sword appeared in his hand.
"That is the Dark North Royal Obelisk."
Everyone gasped.
Chapter 802: The Might from Dark North
At this time, Prince Yao was still swamped by his shock that
Wu Yu had disappeared from the Virtual Battlefield.
Not just him, but Qu Yin was most shocked of them all. He was
the master of the Virtual Battlefield, and he knew clearly who
was within it. As long as he controlled the Virtual Battlefield,
he could ensure that no one could leave it. But at this moment,
he clearly knew that Wu Yu was outside of his control.
The devil only knew where Wu Yu had gone....
Qu Yin could not believe it.
Prince Yao was rooted to the spot. Actually, he did not
understand Wu Yu well yet, and therefore had focused on his
real body. Although the Heaven Devouring Avatar had been
present all along, he had forgotten about it for the majority of
the fight.
As he froze in confusion, he did not expect Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar to pull out the Dark North Royal Obelisk!
He knew that Wu Yu had the Dark North Royal Obelisk. But Qu
Yin had not reminded him that it was not being wielded by the
real body. Qu Yin also did not know whether Wu Yu or his
avatar was going to use it. All he knew was that Wu Yu's avatar
was very strong. However, since Prince Yao was making
trouble for him, he had saved himself the trouble of letting him
know.
The Dark North Royal Obelisk was of a much higher tier than
both of Prince Yao's advanced dao treasures! Even among his
royal siblings, there were not many who had such a high level
weapon.
Right now, few noticed the white-haired, red-eyed Heaven
Devouring Avatar, long hair flying loosely, and the ebony Dark
North Royal Obelisk in its hand. After Wu Yu's real body
vanished, he activated the spirit design on the Dark North
Royal Obelisk and attacked!
"Dark Sea Ghostly Tempest!"
After many years, the dao treasure of the previous Dark Sea
Emperor made its comeback! The power of the Heaven
Devouring Avatar had endless transformations. Since he had
been absorbing all these frost-affiliated demons throughout
his development, he was even more suited to using such an
advanced dao treasure!
The longsword flashed out, and the spirit designs within
hummed. The Dark North Royal Obelisk instantly revealed its
elite lethality - the advanced dao treasures slashed with a loud
peal!
With one slash, the entire Virtual Battlefield was transformed
into an icy, black sea! Even outside the Virtual Battlefield, the
temperature suddenly plummeted. The sudden chill of the
body and Primordial Spirit caused those outside to retreat,
shivering, their surprise evident on their faces!
Within the Virtual Battlefield, one slash from the Heaven
Devouring Avatar had frozen the entire Virtual Battlefield
over. A black storm of swords rained down within the Virtual
Battlefield, numbering in the billions. Prince Yao was
completely engulfed by the tempest!
Ping, ping, ping!
They could only hear the intense clashing sounds from
outside, ringing clearly.
At the same time, they could also hear the heavy, tense sound
of Prince Yao's breathing. He sounded labored. Evidently, it
was too cold within, and everything had frozen over. It was no
ordinary chill, but an extreme, harsh cold that touched both
one's body and Primordial Spirit!
Boom!
Suddenly, the ice shattered inside. From its midst, a roaring
inferno battled back against the cold. From the depths of its
power, they could tell that the Heaven Devouring Avatar and
Prince Yao were fighting. Prince Yao was desperate. Although
he had the Golden Body of Mighty Earth, he was helpless
against such frost!
His face was white with anger at this time, and he forced Wu
Yu back with fire. They could see that the Giant Flaming Beast
of the Mountains had disappeared at this time. Evidently,
Prince Yao had exploded the Giant Flaming Beast of the
Mountains in order to spread flames all over the frigid Virtual
Battlefield, to temporarily hold off the Dark North Royal
Obelisk!
After the Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains exploded, it
reformed into a huge fireball that roared powerfully,
continuing to burn hotter and hotter!
"He's trying to defeat me with a sneak attack!" Prince Yao bit
out. He had indeed underestimated his opponent. Who would
have known that Wu Yu's real body would suddenly disappear,
while the avatar would be attacking from behind with the Dark
North Royal Obelisk. Just this combination alone had almost
defeated Prince Yao. Luckily, he had caused the Giant Flaming
Beast of the Mountains to explode at the last moment, and
won himself a thread of hope of victory!
But Prince Yao felt extremely embarrassed!
He still assumed that taking down Wu Yu's avatar should be no
problem, although a good part of his body was frozen, and his
ability was considerably compromised. Therefore, at this time,
he controlled the huge fireball that was the Giant Flaming
Beast of the Mountains and sent it hurtling towards Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar. The fire was hot enough that the
ice all around was melting away!
"Die!" After the Giant Flaming Beast of the Mountains
exploded, all of its power was still preserved here, and so
Prince Yao was still confident that it could take the opponent
down.
Another clash!
Hope for Prince Yao was rekindled instantly in the audience.
They could also see that the frost was receding from the
Virtual Battlefield, while the flames were growing hotter and
hotter. They reached the Heaven Devouring Avatar quickly!
It seemed like the angry fire was going to unleash its
destructive heat in a spectacular explosion. But at this instant,
the Heaven Devouring Avatar morphed into a black vortex,
spinning rapidly like a huge, gaping mouth. With a swallow,
the fireball was absorbed, then the entire vortex became a
blur of black and gold, burning with flames!
"What...." The spectators realized that they did not
understand Wu Yu's moves. Wu Yu had even swallowed the
flames - was he unafraid of dying from the overload?!
What they did not expect was that the madly roaring golden
flames in the vortex would very quickly turn black. Prince Yao
had lost control of his own mystique, and his jaw dropped as
the entire vortex had now converted all of it to black flames.
Hu!
The vortex reversed directions and hurled the black fireball
straight towards Prince Yao! After the Heaven Devouring
Avatar had become strong, it had gradually gotten used to this
devouring technique. This was its fundamental ability. This
attack was not even as strong as Prince You Yan's, and
therefore he had successfully stopped it and converted it!
Of course, this was already the limit. His avatar had almost
crumbled, and if he did, then Wu Yu would basically be done
for!
But the wonders of the devouring body again exceeded Wu
Yu's expectations. Therefore, the danger lay at the end of the
black fireball's trajectory, where Prince Yao was paralyzed
with shock. The black fireball exploded before him!
RUMBLE!
With a deafening bang, the entire Virtual Battlefield was
consumed by these flames! Even the earth in their
surroundings was shaken up, as though an earthquake had
just occurred.
"How is that possible!?" The spectators were still swept up in
the devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Avatar. As they
watched the titanic exchange unfold, they could not help but
be worried for Prince Yao. Right now, it looked like a
spectacular battle, but Wu Yu had always held the advantage.
All of his techniques were superb!
Some experts could still see what was happening within the
Virtual Battlefield! Inside, Prince Yao had been besieged by his
attacks, and again badly injured. That was also because he had
already been wounded by Wu Yu previously.
He was at his most vulnerable state, down on the ropes. Wu
Yu would not pass up on this chance.
"Dark North Saintly Dragon Formation!"
In his hand, the longsword clattered as it transformed into an
iron whip. Wu Yu seemed to be holding a mystical dragon of
black iron. The dragon's crimson eyes suddenly lit up!
After activating the spirit designs, one flick sent the mystical
dragon roaring forth. It was like a mystical dragon flexing its
tail. Crushing power thundered across the space and slammed
into Prince Yao's body. A bloody wound appeared on Prince
Yao's body, which was covered in dense, black spirit designs.
The black spirit designs spread throughout his entire body,
covering Prince Yao. Each spirit design was a fount of freezing
power. This whip had afflicted Prince Yao's body with the
freezing cold of the Dark North Royal Obelisk, and as Prince
Yao yelped, his black ice began to turn into a huge sphere. The
planted spirit designs on Prince Yao's body continued to
release frost energy that kept Prince Yao held in place. One
lash from Wu Yu would send him to the next world!
Wu Yu's Dark North Royal Obelisk was wrapped firmly around
Prince Yao's body, signifying the end of the battle. Wu Yu
removed the ice, returning Prince Yao's voice to him. But his
Dark North Royal Obelisk still held him firm. Since he had not
been convinced of his inferiority, Wu Yu would convince him.
Right now, his life rested in Wu Yu's hands.
At this moment, his white-haired, red-eyed self stared at
Prince Yao.
Within the Virtual Battlefield, all was silent. They could see Wu
Yu, his white hair flying loosely. And Prince Yao, turning purple
from the cold, his lips white, and his manner both furious and
defeated, looking desperately at Wu Yu.
"Prince Yao, well fought. If I have offended you, please forgive
me."
Suddenly, there was a voice from outside. They could see that
Wu Yu's real body was standing outside the Virtual Battlefield.
As he spoke, his Heaven Devouring Avatar retracted the Dark
North Royal Obelisk and freed Prince Yao.
Although Prince Yao was free, his defeat was a truth that all
saw clearly. He could not shrug it off. Wu Yu had accomplished
his goal. The challenge was a success, and establishing his
ground was a success. From the beginning, he knew that his
entry into the Yan Huang Ancient Country would definitely be
spectacular.
Everyone found this unbelievable. Perhaps only Qu Yin, who
had seen Wu Yu defeat Prince You Yan, was prepared for this
outcome. He took down the Virtual Battlefield, allowing Prince
Yao to leave. He needed to leave as quickly as possible.
The people of the Yan Huang Immortal's Capital were still
looking at the two Wu Yus, unable to get a hold of themselves
for a long time. While this grand battle was happening, they
had not even noticed that the other battle had been equally
exhilarating.
And it had not even concluded yet.
"Wu Yu's going to rise like crazy in the Immortal's Capital after
this battle." They looked at each other restlessly.
Chapter 803: Prince Le's Residence
In the battle between Wu Yu and Prince Yao, the tables had
turned multiple times, exceeding everyone's expectations. It
was a textbook fight of immortal dao, until final victory and
defeat were clear. Wu Yu had crushed Prince Yao, and held his
life at the mercy of the Dark North Royal Obelisk! Everyone
was still astounded, and unable to react.
Wu Yu, white hair flying and the metallic mystical dragon that
was the Dark North Royal Obelisk locking Prince Yao down in
a freezing bind. Prince Yao, covered in icy spirit designs, face
pale, and life at Wu Yu's mercy. The spectators looked around
at each other. Beside exclamations, none could find words.
Here in the Yan Huang Ancient Country, most had already
heard of Wu Yu's reputation, and knew that he was half a Yan
Huang Tribe member. Especially now that he had shown such
power, he clearly had the ability to match his bloodline. And
therefore, they did not ostracize Wu Yu like the Dark North
Tribe had.
As Wu Yu had shown his ability to defeat Prince Yao, he earned
their respect and admiration. Not everyone coveted his
legacy, especially since Wu Yu had been invited to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country.
Therefore, after they came around, many still gasped
sincerely.
"Prince Yao underestimated him, just like us."
"If not, this battle would have been even more awesome."
"In truth, Prince Yao should be a little stronger than Wu Yu in
terms of raw power. Wu Yu won by using Prince Yao's
arrogance and also because his techniques are unknown and
too miraculous. That's a great help."
"Of course, miraculous moves will no longer be fresh after
showing them off many times. At that time, Wu Yu will not be
as hard to deal with as he was today."
Regarding the battle, many experts present still saw it clearly
for what it was.
But no matter what, the fact remained that Wu Yu's win today
had shaken the entire Yan Huang Ancient Country! He was
indeed more high-profile than many had expected.
Before all, Wu Yu released Prince Yao, removing the Dark
North Royal Obelisk's spirit design brands on him.
This brought some life back into Prince Yao. He closed his eyes
and used some immortal medicines and immortal essences to
dispel the chill, and his body rapidly recovered.
No one was even watching him now. Like Wu Yu, they were all
watching the fight between the Full Moon of Nanshan and the
Three Immortals Kunwu! It was fantastic. Not long after Wu Yu
released Prince Yao, the Full Moon of Nanshan had entered a
full-on fight. He, too, used special moves, and Wu Yu could see
that besides his enigmatic arsenal of mystiques, he also
specialized in two types of dao techniques, one was water, the
other wood affiliated. The affinity between the two elements
was promising.
Camouflage, illusion, and even something similar to Wu Yu's
72 Transformations. Wu Yu was dazzled watching him as well.
The Three Immortals Kunwu was much stronger than the Full
Moon of Nanshan, but the Full Moon of Nanshan ran rings
around him, and his stupendous power connected with
nothing but air. Under the illusion techniques, the Three
Immortals Kunwu was more confused than ever.
Wu Yu recalled how the Full Moon of Nanshan's sly phantom
technique had almost made him meet his maker back then.
The Three Immortals Kunwu was already worn out in this
battle. While his mental state was a mess, the Full Moon of
Nanshan took the chance to unleash a sneak attack. The tusks
of the wild boar crashed into the center of the opponent's
skull, sending him flying with dynamic power.
It seemed like a simple impact, but he had also used Marshal
Tian Peng's mystique. Wu Yu had noticed that the Full Moon
of Nanshan also cultivated something like the Invincible Vajra
Body. Like Wu Yu, his physique was far ahead of his peers. And
the Full Moon of Nanshan was actually not yet at the 10th tier
of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm.
His physique also packed robust strength.
Therefore, using his mystifying techniques and strength on par
with Wu Yu's, he defeated the Three Immortals Kunwu after
Wu Yu’s victory.
Wu Yu estimated that he was around the sixth tier of the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm or greater. He was
definitely at a higher cultivation level than Wu Yu. After all, Wu
Yu had only defeated his opponent thanks to the Heaven
Devouring Avatar.
After defeating his opponent, the Full Moon of Nanshan
reverted to human form. He was weary, and there were burn
marks on his body. But even so, he was still very spirited after
defeating such a major enemy, and he was an impressive sight,
giving off an aura of invincibility with each movement.
That conceited look invited their ire....
However, as he craned his neck over to see that Wu Yu had
already clearly finished his opponent off first, his face very
quickly fell. He grumbled, "You're really good at stealing my
thunder, aren't you, kid? Trying to be the elder brother?"
Truly, Wu Yu had made a bigger impression than him.
However, he, too, had made a name for himself through this
battle.
The Full Moon of Nanshan wanted to be able to have a fair and
open chance to move around in the Yan Huang Ancient
Region. Of course, this required a fairly safe position, and he
was in the same position as Wu Yu. Therefore, his goal had
been achieved.
This had been Wu Yu's promise to him. After all, Wu Yu had
gotten first place in the Dark North Battle for Supremacy all
thanks to him.
Both epic battles had ended with Prince Yao's side losing.
Right now, the Three Immortals Kunwu had also finally come
to his senses after his defeat.
His first instinct was rage. He felt that the Full Moon of
Nanshan had defeated him with underhanded tactics, and did
not dare to face him head-on.
However, Prince Yao stopped him. The result was clear. If he
continued to kick up a fuss here, it would only make them even
more of a laughing stock.
Therefore, Prince Yao addressed Wu Yu stiffly. "Both of you
have performed in exemplary fashion. It was I who
underestimated you two. I accept my loss wholeheartedly. But
I will repay the shame of today in the future. I hope that you
two will not be afraid to accept my challenge in the future."
This was quite proper of him. Although this battle had only
shown off Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan's abilities, that
did not mean that Prince Yao was inept. After all, everyone
could see that this had nothing to do with Prince Yao's ability.
"Don't worry. Wu Yu will always make time to accompany
Prince Yao whenever you come to find me," Wu Yu said with a
smile, cupping his hands in respect. At this point, his
confidence was towering. No one he had beaten before had
ever come back to defeat him through sheer effort.
When the time came, Wu Yu would already have left him in
the dust. Avenge his shame? Impossible.
"Until that day comes." Prince Yao's face was somber. He took
the Three Immortals Kunwu and his retinue and strode away
towards the imperial city, vanishing from sight quickly.
At this time, many had already gathered, and Wu Yu could feel
many penetrating looks fixated on him.
The battle was already over.
"Wu Yu, let's go." In order to avoid more trouble, Qu Yin
wanted to get on with it, and bring Wu Yu to his destination.
"Alright." Wu Yu, the Heaven Devouring Avatar, and the Full
Moon of Nanshan all followed Qu Yin. They quickly came to
the gates of the imperial city, and entered forbidden ground
to most of the Yan Huang Tribe - Yan Huang Royal City.
Within the royal city, golden mist shrouded the grounds. This
golden mist was actually dense spiritual qi, hailed as spiritual
qi almost on par with that of the immortals' sky palaces. Wu
Yu breathed it in and felt extremely refreshed. Even a mortal
raised here could quickly become a Primordial Spirit
Transformation cultivator.
In the Jambu Realm, the most bountiful of places were the
hardest fought over. The Immortal's Capital had been a
frequent stage of battle throughout history. However, it had
been dominated solely by the Yan Huang Tribe since its
appearance. They had continued the Yan Huang Ancient
Country's legacy of thousands of generations with this spiritual
qi!
The golden royal city seemed to have spirit designs on every
single speck of dust. It was an amazing sight. It was not a time
of conflict now, but the Yan Huang Tribe ancestors had left
behind countless layers of defensive spirit designs, to a
ridiculous extent. It could be said that the entire Immortal's
Capital could transform into a warring fortress - a machine of
war.
As he advanced into this golden palace, he knew that he would
soon come face to face with Prince Le, returned from the
dead. Wu Yu's emotions were a little frazzled in the face of this
unknown.
He had become Kingmaker Le, and had to remain by Prince
Le's side. If it had been the Prince Le of the past, Wu Yu
would’ve had no need to worry. He would not be Wu Yu's
match. But the Prince Le who returned from the dead at the
Taigu Immortal Path....
Perhaps he had the mystery of the Taigu Immortal Path
imbued in him. And if he let his secrets slip, Wu Yu could be in
trouble. Perhaps what would eventually finish Wu Yu off
would be some unknown entity.
"This is going to be good. After taking down that kitten, I can
walk about freely in the Immortal's Capital. I can finally go see
the beautiful world in peace. All the beauties in the world are
waiting for me to show them a good time." The Full Moon of
Nanshan gleefully smiled at this thought.
"Best to be more prudent since you're new. Don't go and
throw your life away now," Wu Yu cautioned him, seeing his
mischievous smile.
"Yeah, yeah, got it." The Full Moon of Nanshan was indeed
shrewd. He knew that he had no status, and therefore
positioned himself near the gates, so that all would see him.
As long as he went out, everyone would recognize him. If not,
a nameless demon would probably be cut down the moment
he appeared anywhere.
"Prince Le's residence." After proceeding for about 15 minutes
past all kinds of palaces, they finally arrived at Prince Le's
residence. Within the royal family, each prince and princess
had their own royal residence. Each royal residence was
extremely vast. Although there were not many structures,
they were all built as though giants dwelled within. They were
massive. The doors of Prince Le's residence, for example, were
dozens of zhang tall and wide. Even if the Full Moon of
Nanshan changed into his true form, he could still enter.
And within, any palace was also dozens of zhang, even 100
zhang high. Any simple room could allow the Full Moon of
Nanshan's true form to gambol around freely.
Under the golden mist, spirit designs on the bricks winked in
and out of view, accentuating the ancient martial cultivator
tribe's rich history.
Soon, he would meet Prince Le.
The martial cultivation kingdoms were not like mortal
kingdoms. Mortals had many bodyguards, guards, and
servants, but here at the immortal kingdoms, in Prince Le's
residence, Prince Le did not need anyone to wait on him.
Therefore, he was the only one in the whole residence.
Chapter 804: Spirit Penetration Art
Usually only princes and princesses stayed at the royal
residence.
Occasionally, their mothers, the Emperor's Consorts, and the
Queen Mother would be with them. However, these times
were short as they all had their own residences.
Occasionally, high ranking officials from ancient countries
would send their own children in. These children would learn
from the princes and princesses as they followed them. They
would discuss dao and improve together.
For instance, Qu Haoyan and Qu Fengyu used to visit Prince
Le's residence often. They had been specially escorted in by
Qu Yin. Also, the spiritual qi was more abundant within the
royal city, so it was beneficial to them.
They were martial cultivators and therefore did not require
the service of palace maids, much less the protection of
guards, as there were spirit designs in the royal city. These
were hard to penetrate. There was basically no danger within
the royal city.
However, the royal city was huge. Other than the royal
residences, there were many palaces. The officials from
outside would often enter the royal city to go to court. Hence,
it was quite lively in the royal city.
Now Wu Yu and his group were standing outside Prince Le's
residence.
Prince Le's residence's doors were shut tightly.
In the Yan Huang Ancient Country, each and every prince and
princess would ultimately get their own Kingmaker. The
position of Kingmaker was basically secondary only to the
Prince's dao companion. They would usually remain at the
royal residence too. So Wu Yu was here to stay at Prince Le's
residence. Qu Haoyan and the others did not have such
qualifications.
For human martial cultivators, probably only the emperor of a
country could have three palaces and six courtyards, as well as
many wives and concubines. The Yan Huang Ancient Country’s
emperor had the largest number of wives and concubines.
Even the Dark Sea Emperor and the others had only a few.
The existence of the Kingmaker was, on the one hand, to
protect the prince or princess. On the other hand, they
monitored the prince and princess on behalf of the royal
family. They held high positions. Even princes and princesses
could not scold Kingmakers as and when they liked.
Qu Yin now stood before the door and said, "Prince Le, this old
official brings Kingmaker Le Wu Yu to greet you."
There was no reaction for a long time after he spoke.
This was weird, perhaps the other party did not wish to see
him?
In the end, Qu Yin said, "I heard that Prince Le is training in
seclusion to break through to a new tier. Looks like it's true.
Since Prince Le is training in seclusion, you guys move into
Prince Le's residence first. Inside Prince Le's residence, before
Prince Le comes out from training, you guys cannot explore as
you wish. Just stay at Kingmaker Hall and enter through
Kingmaker Hall. There is a ritual for the bestowing of
Kingmaker status in the Yan Huang Ancient Country. At that
time, there may be many important people taking part.
However, since Prince Le is now training in seclusion, that will
have to wait till he comes out before it is hosted. In this period
of time, you just have to wait patiently."
In other words they would not meet soon.
However, it was hard to say how much time one would spend
training in seclusion. Sometimes one might spend a few years
inside, or he could be out in the next second.
If that were the case, he would have some time to react. This
was good news to Wu Yu.
Qu Yin stroked his beard as he said, "If there's nothing else, I'm
leaving. My mission was completed when I brought you here."
He was actually a little depressed. While he had brought Wu
Yu back, Wu Yu looked very comfortable. After all, he had
received the Ancient Emperor's Edict.
"Such a good legacy, all wasted on this barbarian. But the Yan
Huang Ancient Country must have some plans. Perhaps they
want to use Wu Yu for Prince Le. That rascal is still happy.
When that time comes he will be sad." He laughed coldly in his
heart.
To him, Wu Yu's days were numbered.
It was the same for the Full Moon of Nanshan, who was beside
him. It was just a pity that he could not get a share.
"I can only wait for the royal family to give me some merits,"
Qu Yin thought in his heart.
He was about to leave when Wu Yu asked, "Senior Qu, you
promised me 500,000 Yan Dragon Army merits before. Is it
alright for me to go directly to the Yan Dragon Encampment to
collect them and trade them for treasures? Don't worry, I'm
just collecting my reward, not joining the Yan Dragon Army.
When these merits are used up, I'll stop going."
This was something Qu Yin had promised. Initially, it was to
persuade Wu Yu to join them quickly. It was just 500,000
merits. He could afford it, so he nodded and said, "You just
have to go to the Yan Dragon Encampment to collect them. I'll
instruct them. As for where it is, you can ask anyone to guide
you when you exit the royal city."
After saying this, he could not be bothered to stay. He turned
without hesitation and left.
The Full Moon of Nanshan looked at him leaving and said with
his eyes narrowed, "This old fart doesn't think that we can
make it."
"Our fates depend on the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor. But I
feel that since he's someone like an immortal, if he really likes
us, he need not expend such energy. There must be some
mystery within. We won't die so easily. Let's walk and see. The
most important thing now is to grab this opportunity to get
strong quickly," Wu Yu said in a low, heavy voice.
"That makes sense." The Full Moon of Nanshan nodded. He
was an optimistic person and immediately sniggered. He then
said, "This Immortal's Capital is so exciting. Since we're here,
we should enjoy it thoroughly. Battles or beauties, both are
exciting!"
Wu Yu had many things to do now. They pushed Prince Le's
residence's doors open. There was a wide parade square
inside. At the end of this parade square was Prince Le's palace.
On the left was a slightly smaller but still very big golden
palace. That was the Kingmaker Hall, Wu Yu's territory.
When the two of them entered this Kingmaker Hall, they
realized that it was indeed big. Everything was set up for them.
Everything was big and wide. They could train or battle. There
were also spirit designs in their surroundings protecting them.
Wu Yu used the Eyes of Fire and Gold to observe his
surroundings. It was absolutely safe here, and it was indeed a
place where they could train without worry.
From the start of the Dark North Battle for Supremacy to now,
he had finally escaped from an environment where he was
monitored.
The Full Moon of Nanshan observed the surroundings for a
moment and said, "This is indeed a safe place for training. But
I'm still more interested in the Immortal's Capital outside. So
I'm not going to accompany you here. I'm leaving first."
After saying this, he left immediately.
To him, training here was boring. He immediately went out to
enjoy the frivolous world. Anyway, he only needed to
remember his way back.
Wu Yu did not say much to him. The Full Moon of Nanshan
knew what he was doing. He knew how to survive.

On this, they were the same kind.

Wu Yu and his Heaven Devouring Avatar remained.
The Heaven Devouring Avatar took out the Dark North Royal
Obelisk to continue studying it in the training room. For now,
he was familiar with only two spirit designs. There were two
other more powerful offensive spirit designs that he had not
gained total control of yet. Now that they had settled in, he
needed to quickly master them.
Prince Le could come out any time, and who knew what
challenge would await him then! Besides, at that time, he
would have to undergo the ritual for the bestowing of
Kingmaker status and face the top people of Yan Huang.
There were hundreds of princes and princesses. This challenge
was huge.
His avatar studied the Dark North Royal Obelisk, while his real
body sat in lotus position on the other side. Wu Yu quietened
his heart. At the Ghost Sea Prison, he had reached the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. That time, he quickly
increased the tier of his Unshackled Doppelganger and
conquered the 10,000 Dragons Staff. However, following that,
he was monitored by too many people and he had two things
he had not done. The first was the puppets in Floating Dreams
Pagoda. The second was the next transformation of the 72
Transformations.
Now his strength had improved again. Today, he had joined
forces with his avatar and defeated Prince Yao. Wu Yu
estimated that after joining forces, he could challenge the
puppet that was eight levels higher than him. He could directly
challenge the puppet at the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm.
When he did that, he would shock the whole Immortal's
Capital if he pulled out a puppet that was on par with Prince
Yao, even if it was a little bit weaker.
Before that, Wu Yu wanted to practice the next
transformation.
Ming long was already prepared for him. These were the
Immortality Arts that the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal had
personally taught her. Basically, he only needed a little
guidance to learn it. This transformation was more mysterious
than the Fixed Body Art, the Swift Art, and the Violent Art.
However, the method to learn this Immortality Arts might be
a little more complicated, so Wu Yu did not master it directly
and quickly at that time.
Using Ming Long's words, this transformation was of a higher
level. Even if the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal taught him
personally, Wu Yu would need a stable environment to study
it. Before that, the Ghost Sea Prison and the Yan Dragon
Warship were not peaceful environments.
"This transformation is the transformation of spirit designs. It's
called the Spirit Penetration Art. The so-called ‘spirit’ refers to
the profound mysteries and the art of understanding the
mysteries. From another point of view, you can also call
everything related to spirit designs as ‘spirit.’ For example,
inside dao treasures, there are countless spirit designs. This
place is called the ‘spirit.’ Another example: inside talismans,
there are also spirit designs, so it is also a ‘spirit.’ For instance,
Heaven and Earth Spirit Designs, regardless of whether they
are defensive or offensive spirit designs, they are all
considered spirits.
"And the basic role of the Spirit Penetration Art is to separate
a sliver of your Primordial Spirit and use the Spirit Penetration
Art to change it into a special existence that can penetrate into
the enemy’s dao treasures, talismans, puppets, mechanisms,
and Heaven and Earth Spirit Designs. Using your Primordial
Spirit to observe, you can even affect the operation of the
spirit design and reduce its effectiveness or even overturn the
other party's spirit design. You can even erase the spirit
design.
"The Spirit Penetration Art is the art of transformation that
could affect the other party's spirit design, or change the
enemies' spirit design. This is a power that other martial
cultivators could never have. This requires the Primordial
Spirit. So I've been waiting until you reached the Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm before letting you learn this
transformation art. This art of transformation is indeed more
mysterious than the previous few. This also requires that you
have a certain degree of understanding of spirit designs."
Wu Yu had always been studying the Ancient Array of the
Mystical Dragon of the dragon race. His study of spirit designs
was quite deep. Sometimes, he would enter the Floating
Dreams Pagoda to study and do it in half the time.
Now that he was in a safe environment, he had the
opportunity to learn this Spirit Penetration Art. First, when Wu
Yu started to study this Spirit Penetration Art, the Great Sage,
Heaven's Equal appeared again. He would plant the seed of
the Spirit Penetration Art into Wu Yu's Primordial Spirit.
"There are limits to the Spirit Penetration Art too. That is, you
need to separate a sliver of Primordial Spirit. Even though it is
only a sliver, and you can recover quickly, the resulting
exhaustion is significant. Hence, you cannot use it
continuously. But it should be no problem at all to use it once
or twice a day.
"With the Spirit Penetration Art, maybe your enemies' dao
treasures, talismans, puppets, and Heaven and Earth Spirit
Designs will no longer be effective in your view. Also, in the
future, there will be deeper changes. The Spirit Penetration
Art is already very powerful. This is the art of immortals. You
are incredibly lucky to learn it now."
Ming Long was indeed envious of him.
Wu Yu now had caught up to her level when she was alive.
Chapter 805: Skeletal Flame Dragon
Wu Yu felt the amazing part of the Spirit Penetration Art when
the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal planted that seed into Wu Yu's
Primordial Spirit.
This transformation was built on spirit designs, and spirit
designs were built on dao. This was a transformation art, and
it was similar to dao.
Hence, in the process of understanding the Spirit Penetration
Art, it was also a process for Wu Yu to understand dao.
After he learned more about it, the mystery of the Spirit
Penetration Art could not be explained with a mere few
sentences.
Such a mystery needed one to be immersed within to truly
understand the transformation within. For instance, just the
separation of a sliver of one’s Primordial Spirit was incredibly
amazing. After all, it was impossible for the average martial
cultivator to even split their Primordial Spirit into a second
Primordial Spirit. They would not even think of a separation of
a sliver of the Primordial Spirit.
The second difficulty was on how to affect spirit designs. There
was an order to the way spirit designs operated. An immortal's
ability was required to truly shake a spirit design. Wu Yu could
not learn that at the moment, but he could use the seed to do
that. Even so, he had to learn a little about it.
He used some useless talismans to test it.
Once he started experimenting, he could not stop.
In the meantime, the Full Moon of Nanshan returned multiple
times only to see Wu Yu engrossed in his training. He could not
help but feel shame. He acknowledged that he was not as
hardworking as Wu Yu and could not stand the loneliness. He
had not stayed long before he could not resist going out to
play again. In short, there were signs of him everywhere in the
Immortal's Capital. Many people recognized him.
This transformation of the Spirit Penetration Art was strong
when it needed to be and weak when it was weak. There was
no set yardstick.
The key was on the way it was used.
For instance, Wu Yu now only knew a little and it was obviously
impossible to maximize its use.
However, even just this bit of knowledge was powerful
enough. With repeated experimentation, after Wu Yu
separated his Primordial Spirit, his success in shaking the roots
of spirit designs increased. Finally, after much time and effort,
he had the confidence to use it in battle.
Compared to the other transformation arts, he used up a lot
of energy for this.
After he achieved success with the Spirit Penetration Art, Wu
Yu immediately started working on his next goal.
That was to challenge and subdue the puppets in the Floating
Dreams Pagoda.
Coincidentally, Wu Yu had just learned the Spirit Penetration
Art, and puppets relied entirely on spirit designs to operate.
They functioned mainly on spirit designs. This way, Wu Yu's
Spirit Penetration Art could have a great effect on them.
This was also the reason why Wu Yu had chosen to learn the
Spirit Penetration Art first.
Now he could use the Spirit Penetration Art to subdue the
puppets.
He had not entered Floating Dreams Pagoda in a long time.
There were basically no other people in Prince Le's residence
since Prince Le had not emerged from seclusion.
"The Dark North Royal Obelisk is an advanced dao treasure.
I've already conquered it. Perhaps the Floating Dreams Pagoda
is really a seraphic dao treasure!"
A seraphic dao treasure was on a much higher level than the
Dark North Royal Obelisk.
If that was true, then Wu Yu had really gained a lot from the
Taigu Immortal Path.
The most important part of the Floating Dreams Pagoda was
that it could control time. Wu Yu had not really made use of
that yet. If he made full use of it when he conquered it, he
believed that the flow of time the Floating Dreams Pagoda
could change would be more than twice it could do now.
After all, he could have a flow of time that was over 100 times
faster or slower when the Floating Dreams Pagoda had not
even recognized him as its owner yet.
Hence, he was full of expectations for the future of the
Floating Dreams Pagoda.
At the same time, he also looked forward to the countless
puppets in it.
Now he had an understanding of the Spirit Penetration Art.
Together with his second Primordial Spirit and avatar, he
entered the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
He chose to challenge puppets.
Nine spirit designs lit up and different puppets appeared. Wu
Yu had not challenged puppets in a long time, so this time
there were many new ones. During his previous challenge,
there was a puppet that looked like the Full Moon of Nanshan.
It had not been used yet.
Previously, Wu Yu challenged seven levels above him, but this
time it was different - he was challenging eight levels above!
After all, he had the Heaven Devouring Avatar. And the
Heaven Devouring Avatar had the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
The experience he had gained in defeating Prince You Yan and
Prince Yao could be used here.
Hence, Wu Yu's first challenge was with the puppet in the last
spirit design, a white spirit design.
As he walked towards that white spirit design, the other spirit
designs started to fade away. He was challenging eight levels
above him. Wu Yu should have reached the limit of the
Floating Dreams Pagoda.
This time, the change was a little different. The whole Floating
Dreams Pagoda shone with strong white light.
Whoosh! Within that white light, the silhouette of the puppet
flickered.
This puppet was special. It was different from previous
puppets. Previous puppets were basically in human form. Even
if they transformed, they were humanoid.
When the white light dissipated, the puppet was revealed
before Wu Yu. He looked carefully and realized that it was
actually a mystical dragon. Of course, there was still a vast
difference between a real mystical dragon and this puppet
made of precious materials and spirit designs. Firstly, this
mystical dragon was not of flesh and blood. Rather, it was a
skeleton. Thousands of thin, tiny bones were strung together
using some spirit design. Although it was just a skeleton, it felt
alive.
Although only the skeleton remained, this puppet looked
sinister and vicious. It looked more terrifying than the average
mystical dragon. There was a domineering aura when it waved
its four claws and twisted its body. There were two dark red
glows within the sockets of the dragon’s head. They looked
like its eyes. They were cold and disdainful.

In reality, each bone in this intricate skeleton was carved with

several spirit designs. It was the relation between the various
spirit designs that formed this powerful puppet!
"I'm the Skeletal Flame Dragon. My main body is made of
bones from various mystical dragons and supported by
precious treasures. It uses the Skeletal Flame Dragon Spirit
Design as its mainframe and over 100,000 spirit designs as
support. These form my great strength! You dare to challenge
eight levels above? You've belittled me! Hence, I'll definitely
force you to recognize your weakness and give up! You'll leave
in great defeat!"
The Skeletal Flame Dragon was enraged.
Wu Yu stared at him and came to a conclusion. He said, "That’s
right, I'm missing a mount. You look majestic. If I ride you out,
I'll definitely look cool."
"If you can subdue me, I'll allow you to determine my fate!"
the Skeletal Flame Dragon roared in rage. It had a power
equivalent to a 10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
cultivator. That was naturally outstanding!
"Raging Fire of Bones Deadly Formation!"
He looked harmless when quiet, but once he attacked, the
Skeletal Flame Dragon was extremely aggressive. The
offensive spirit designs on him were activated instantly. The
other puppets were basically equivalent to automated
offensive dao treasures. Since that was the case, then this
Skeletal Flame Dragon would definitely be on the level of an
advanced dao treasure.
Hence, it would be extremely useful and valuable if he could
subdue this Skeletal Flame Dragon. He was something that
many others would want to fight over.
Once the Skeletal Flame Dragon Spirit Design was activated,
its range covered the whole Floating Dreams Pagoda. There
was no way of evading. One could only see a complicated,
white spirit design appearing under Wu Yu's feet. The Skeletal
Flame Dragon quickly integrated into the spirit design. His
body atomized as though he had disappeared!
But that was not the case. The instant the skeleton integrated
into the spirit design, the whole spirit design became alive. The
white bone dust immediately burned fiercely, forming white
flames. The entire interior of the Floating Dreams Pagoda was
engulfed in these white flames instantly!
Then these white flames turned into different mystical
dragons and swept through the tower. Their burning power
was directed at Wu Yu and spread. Wu Yu had no way of
hiding. He had to admit that these flames were strong. Both
the Invincible Vajra Body and the Heaven Devouring Avatar
were burned by the flames. This power would be even
stronger when these mystical dragon flames tore and
devoured them.
These flames were like a hurricane. They clashed savagely and
pierced!
If this continued, his two bodies would be suppressed by the
Skeletal Flame Dragon. The other party was no weakling. Wu
Yu had to react fast.
They had to work together to defeat the opponent.
Hence, his real body and the Heaven Devouring Avatar reacted
differently. First, the Heaven Devouring Avatar drew out the
Dark North Royal Obelisk directly and was ready to clash head-
on with the Skeletal Flame Dragon! Now the Heaven
Devouring Avatar lacked the opportunity to devour. If it could,
it would be stronger!
Next was Wu Yu's real body. When the other party used the
spirit design within the puppet, he had prepared the Spirit
Penetration Art. To him, this was a great test for the Spirit
Penetration Art. He was mentally prepared and executed it
accordingly.
"Separation of Primordial Spirit, penetrating the spirit."
First, he had to separate his Primordial Spirit. Wu Yu was
familiar with this. A sliver of his Primordial Spirit quietly left his
physical body. It was undetectable. It melted into the Raging
Fire of Bones Deadly Formation beneath his feet. To Wu Yu, it
was as though he had another pair of eyes, and the world that
this pair of eyes saw was totally different. To this pair of eyes,
all that existed did not exist, only spirit designs and the
abstract dao existed.
The biggest spirit design he saw was the Raging Fire of Bones
Deadly Formation beneath his feet. However, this was actually
very complicated. When over 100,000 spirit designs operated
at the same time, they cooperated to activate this Offensive
Spirit Design. It was like the turning of countless gears, and the
biggest spirit design was the machine. It was releasing strong
offensive power continuously.
When he saw this, he also needed the ability to shake it all.
And the key to shaking it was to find the crucial point within
this spirit design. The crucial point was the weakest link, and
this entire process was akin to breaking through a formation.
Except, Heaven and Earth Spirit Designs were comparatively
easier to understand. Spirit designs of dao treasures,
talismans, and puppets were not so easy to break through.
This required focus, full attention, and patience.
At this point, his real body was fully engrossed in finding the
breakthrough. The Heaven Devouring Avatar wielded the Dark
North Royal Obelisk and fought with the Skeletal Flame
Dragon to buy time for Wu Yu! The Skeletal Flame Dragon was
stronger than the Heaven Devouring Avatar. Even with the
Dark North Royal Obelisk, the Heaven Devouring Avatar might
not be able to hold on. Hence, there was not much time left
for Wu Yu!
"The key to breaking through the spirit design....The path to
the deepest part. Where is the key?" Everchanging runes and
burning flames were everywhere. Wu Yu was also very anxious
to meet something so complicated during his first attempt. It
was possible that he could not defeat his opponent today.
Chapter 806: Nightmare Extermination Formation
He really could not hold on in the end and quickly left with the
Heaven Devouring Avatar. This was a failed challenge.
Of course, Wu Yu did not intend to give up. He knew that it
was mainly a problem of his low level mastery of the Spirit
Penetration Art. Hence, he used some time to recall the
process of executing the Spirit Penetration Art. He thought
carefully of what he saw and heard.
When he learned something, he re-entered and challenged
again.
It was indeed difficult to battle a puppet eight levels above
him. When Wu Yu battled the ones a few levels above him
previously, they were no challenge at all.
This was Wu Yu's first time having to repeat a challenge for the
puppets.
He repeated a few times and managed to identify some
patterns. He was more familiar with the Skeletal Flame Dragon
now.
This time, Wu Yu restarted the challenge. The Skeletal Flame
Dragon criticized him enthusiastically first before attacking. He
was very smart and often attacked with different spirit
designs. This way, Wu Yu's previous research was useless.
"Nightmare Extermination Formation!"
Yet another spirit design trapping the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
This time, it was no longer white flames, but black mist. This
black mist turned into devils waving their claws and baring
their fangs. They shrieked in the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
Sharp fangs and claws and disturbing wails shattered
everything.
They fought together with the Skeletal Flame Dragon. His body
was equivalent to an advanced dao treasure and was very
sturdy. He could fight close range just using his skeleton, and
he was powerful. The Heaven Devouring Avatar's Dark North
Royal Obelisk was the only way to hack through him, but the
Skeletal Flame Dragon was not afraid at all. As long as he did
not shatter, he could recover endlessly in his territory.
"The puppet's spirit designs...." The sliver of Wu Yu's
Primordial Spirit gradually saw the intricate interweavings of
the Skeletal Flame Dragon.
In reality, no matter what Offensive Spirit Design the other
party used, the way these spirit designs connected in his body
were basically the same. They all relied on one spirit design as
the main. The Skeletal Flame Dragon Spirit Design was the
main spirit design of this puppet. It was the core. The
Nightmare Extermination Formation also relied on this main
spirit design for power.
Hence, the key was this main spirit design. After experiencing
difficulties over these few days, Wu Yu finally saw beneath the
surface and caught a glimpse of the core. The main spirit
design hid deep, it was a crucial existence for the puppet. It
was like the heart of a living thing.
That was the core of puppet. The Offensive Spirit Designs were
merely its weapons. They were ultimately minor and affected
only the fangs and claws. The true purpose of the Spirit
Penetration Art was to affect its core and wreak havoc to the
puppet’s base!
After finding the base, Wu Yu felt that everything became
clear!
"Transform." The Spirit Penetration Art was basically a
transformation.
His Primordial Spirit entered the main spirit design and was
quickly depleted by its power. However, this transformation
art entered the main spirit design like a virus. It was as though
the central-most important gear in a highly precise machine
had suddenly become stuck.
The entire main spirit design started to malfunction! This
directly affected the Offensive Spirit Designs of the Skeletal
Flame Dragon. All of it was affected and it broke down!
However, that was only for a short period of time.
Wu Yu seemed to have executed an amazing technique.
All of a sudden, even the Skeletal Flame Dragon was stunned.
He was originally battling the Heaven Devouring Avatar. At this
moment, he suddenly stopped. Its entire Offensive Spirit
Design arsenal seemed to have descended into chaos.
Wu Yu grabbed this opportunity.
That Heaven Devouring Avatar controlled the Dark North
Royal Obelisk. The Dark North Royal Obelisk's sword qi spread,
and in a short period of time, Wu Yu activated its spirit design,
approached the Skeletal Flame Dragon, and hacked at it
crazily! And Wu Yu's real body was on the other side too. He
used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth and the
Violent Art. He activated the Offensive Spirit Design on the
10,000 Dragons Staff again and chained attacks together with
his avatar on the Skeletal Flame Dragon's body.
At this moment, the Skeletal Flame Dragon was suffering from
a flurry of attacks!
Bang, bang, bang!
The Spirit Penetration Art in the main spirit design
disappeared quickly and the Skeletal Flame Dragon returned
to normal, but by the time this happened, he was at his last
breath. The Dark North Royal Obelisk turned into a long whip
now and wrapped around his body. With a fierce tug and the
help of Wu Yu's Infinite Eternal Sand Reincarnation Design
attack, the Skeletal Flame Dragon's body shattered and was
reclaimed by the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
Of course, the Skeletal Flame Dragon would be repaired
shortly, and at that time, Wu Yu would possess a new puppet.
Before this, he could control puppets equivalent to eighth and
ninth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators. It was
just that they were not so useful.
With the Skeletal Flame Dragon, he would no longer need
them. Perhaps Wu Yu could send all these puppets back to the
Dong Sheng Divine Continent to protect Wu You and the
others.
"Done." He had used a lot of time and energy. But both the
Skeletal Flame Dragon and the Spirit Penetration Art were
dealt with.
Now his ability had risen to a new level.
His avatar almost fully understood the four great Offensive
Spirit Designs on the Dark North Royal Obelisk now. The
reason he had not used them on the Skeletal Flame Dragon
was because Wu Yu wanted to use the Skeletal Flame Dragon
to perfect his Spirit Penetration Art.
"Prince Le is actually not out of seclusion yet."
If he was not out yet, then Wu Yu had nothing to do. The Full
Moon of Nanshan was very popular in the Immortal's Capital
nowadays. Although Wu Yu had not appeared recently, that
battle was unforgettable for many. It was said that Prince Yao
had not appeared in a long time either.
Wu Yu saw that Prince Le was still not out, so he decided to go
to the Yan Dragon Encampment to claim the 500,000 merits
that belonged to him. 500,000 merits could get him many
things.
"I can challenge the Demon Hall of Dao Techniques to get dao
techniques. I have the 10,000 Dragons Staff and the Dark
North Royal Obelisk for dao treasures. There aren't many
advanced dao treasures in the Yan Dragon Army for trade,
much less mystiques that are useful. I can get more Great Dao
Primordial Spirit Pills with so many merits. Also, dao treasures
for my doppelgangers. I need to make my 10,000
doppelgangers stronger. Maybe also some items for refining
immortal medicines and making spirit designs."
After deciding, he finally left the residence. It was his first time
out of the royal city. He headed towards the Yan Dragon
Encampment. These days, the Full Moon of Nanshan had
already told him where the Yan Dragon Encampment was
located. The Full Moon of Nanshan was not here right now. He
was probably enjoying himself outside. He had returned red-
faced and drunk for these past few days.
"Don't think that I'm addicted to worldly pleasures. Worldly
pleasures are part of training. This is called experiencing 3,000
loves to control 80,000 great daos. The Great Dao is formed
from worldly pleasures. You need to learn from me and
experience worldly pleasures. Enjoy beauties and delicacies.
This is the way to immortality." The Full Moon of Nanshan
often shook his head and lectured him.
"Everyone has their own dao that suits them. If worldly
pleasures suit you, then it is your dao. But this is not the
method suitable for me."
"I know, your immortal's legacy, didn't he have a name like the
Victorious Fighting Buddha?
Hearing this name, you can tell that he is a crazy person born
for battles. He'll battle till the day he dies. Men should be
gentle and polite. It's rubbish to fight all day long. It's only your
brother, me, that's living the good life. I play and eat and
become strong at the same time. Heh heh...." The Full Moon
of Nanshan often drank until he was very wasted.
Wu Yu understood him. Actually, his heart was simple. He still
believed that to each his own. The dao that everyone desired
was different. Of course, he did not feel that something was
wrong with the Full Moon of Nanshan. He was originally the
most ordinary wild boar. His dao was to enjoy life.
There were lots of desires in the Full Moon of Nanshan's dao.
There was lust, gluttony, fame, and more. However Wu Yu felt
that he had those too. For instance, the dao he trained in
desired battle and was violent. This was also a type of desire.
More outstanding was his Heaven Devouring Avatar. It had the
desire to devour. He wasn’t overly proud, but Wu Yu felt that
this was the biggest desire one could have in this world.
It was understandable that the previous Heaven Devouring
Evil Lord could not withhold himself.
And Wu Yu also needed to rely on the Primordial Spirit of his
real body to suppress it. His Primordial Spirit was split in two,
and that was good. At least half of his Primordial Spirit was
separated from the control of the desire to devour.
"Know yourself, then you can journey far. You have much
more potential than this boar." Ming Long said as she thought.
"That's not for sure. Becoming an immortal is not that easy."
Wu Yu knew that at this stage, it was important not to be
proud. Hence, after he reached his two goals, he turned to a
new goal. He would claim his 500,000 merits from Yan Dragon
Army first. This was what he deserved.
"Kingmaker Le."
At the royal palace, especially at the royal city gate, many
strangers recognized Wu Yu. As Wu Yu was leaving the royal
city, he attracted quite a bit of attention. After news spread,
many people came to watch.
"I heard that Prince Le is training in seclusion and has yet to
bestow Wu Yu his Kingmaker status."
"This is the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor's Edict. It is not
important if he undergoes the ritual or not. Now he is already
Kingmaker Le.
“The position of Kingmaker is still very high."
"You're right."
"Everyone knows that Wu Yu has received a terrifying legacy.
Even the royal family is envious of him. But the Yan Huang
Ancient Emperor noticed him. So everyone can only watch. I
really don't know what secrets this person can have."
"Let's wait and see, the mystery will ultimately reveal itself."
"Where's he going?"
"That seems to be the direction of Yan Dragon Encampment. I
heard that Honored General Qu promised Wu Yu 500,000 Yan
Dragon Army merits. He hid for so long. He should be going to
claim his merits."
"500,000!" Many gasped in surprise. This was too much for
them.
"My guess is that many people from the Yan Dragon Army will
not be happy about that. They work so hard yet cannot get so
many merits. And Wu Yu got them for doing nothing."
"I heard Honored General Qu promised this to him just to bring
him back here quickly. He originally had 500,000 merits with
the Dark Sea Army."
"That is what the Dark Sea Army should give him. What has
that got to do with us? I heard that many in the Yan Dragon
Army are indeed unhappy with this. But that group will not
dare to seek trouble with Wu Yu."
"That's not for sure. There are many troublemakers in the Yan
Dragon Army.
“There's a few that cannot be trained. They also have high
positions and important statuses. They are all experienced and
not young. They are all above 100 years old. They only know
how to bully people. My guess is that Wu Yu will not return
easily today."
Chapter 807: Giant Note City
The Yan Huang Ancient Country’s Immortal's Capital had five
big armies.
It was basically every Yan Huang Tribe martial cultivators'
dream to join one of these five big armies.
Only those with the most potential, best talent, and greatest
natural gifts could join these armies.
Only by passing through a lot of tests could one be qualified to
be part of them. Because of the large number of talents in the
Yan Huang Tribe, the tests were even stricter than those of the
Dark Sea Army.
Basically, those who could become Yan Dragon Guards were
the elites of the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
The Yan Dragon Encampment in the Immortal's Capital was
also a place that was highly regarded. It was located in the east
side of Immortal's Capital. To the east of the Immortal's
Capital was a whole series of mountains. The palaces and
pavilions of the Yan Dragon Encampment were all built on the
mountains surrounded by golden immortal fog.
From afar, those palaces and pavilions were grouped together,
like a huge fire dragon coiled around the mountains.
Wu Yu was here now. His two bodies, the real body and the
Heaven Devouring Avatar, were always with him. He had to
hide the Floating Dreams Pagoda. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar had long been exposed to many people, so Wu Yu did
not need to hide it.
Sometimes, his real body was faster, but the Heaven
Devouring Avatar was changeable, so Wu Yu transformed it
into a black fog and entangled it within his real body's clothes.
He could still reappear during a fight. After all, it was a little
too showy to have two bodies moving around. It was one of
Wu Yu's greatest secrets that the Heaven Devouring Avatar
could devour. No one could know.
"Yan Dragon Encampment." This reminded Wu Yu of Luo Pin,
the snow white dragon in his memory. He did not know how
she was doing now.
Wu Yu was becoming more and more confident, because he
was getting closer to the level that he desired and worthy of
being her dao companion.
"Maybe if I become famous in the Yan Huang Ancient Region,
she will hear about my reputation, but what I'm not sure of is
whether she will come looking for me. It's better if I can go find
her in the future. Previously, she had many secrets. Perhaps,
when we are on par, we could really understand each other.”
Thinking of Luo Pin, he also thought of Nangong Wei, who had
gone missing. His expectations quickly turned into regret.
Although he had agreed to Nangong Huang's request, where
would he go to inquire about Nangong Wei in this vast world?
Was she still alive?
Before he realized it, Wu Yu had arrived at the boundaries of
the Yan Dragon Encampment. The Yan Dragon Guards there
basically recognized him with one look.
"It's him, Wu Yu."
"He must have come to collect the 500,000 merits!"
"A total of 500,000 merits! That's enough to become a hidden
dragon general multiple times!"
A hidden dragon general was equivalent to a dark north
general in the Dark Sea Army.
In the Yan Huang Ancient Region, various martial cultivator
armies had similar military divisions and details. The only
difference was the name.
From the moment Wu Yu entered the Yan Dragon Army, those
prying eyes never stopped. These Yan Dragon Guards were
about the same as that group who had gone to the Dong Sheng
Divine Continent.
While not much time had passed, Wu Yu and the relation
between them had reversed. Initially, Wu Yu fearfully
respected and envied them. Now they looked at Wu Yu with
fear and respect. Their gazes were unfriendly, perhaps
because of the 500,000 merits.
"Wu Yu?! I finally get to see you!" Just as Wu Yu entered the
Yan Dragon Encampment and was thinking about how to use
his merits to buy things he needed, a pleasantly surprised gasp
came from behind. He turned back to look. It was a pretty lady
whom he did not recognize. She was slim and tall. Her features
were outstanding and her skin was smooth like porcelain. She
had a great figure, with the right curves everywhere. Her Yan
Dragon Armor could not hide such a good figure. Even her
chest plate seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
Her most impressionable feature was her green eyes. It was as
though a forest was hidden within her eyes. They were very
moving. They gave off a cheeky, lively feeling. Beauties were
plentiful in the Yan Dragon Army too. However, this woman's
aura was classier. She was obviously a descendent of some
noble. And had been sent to Yan Dragon Army to further her
training.
The key was that Wu Yu did not know her.
However, she was very enthusiastic. It was a stark contrast to
the others, who looked at him with wary and disgust. She
approached Wu Yu directly and sized him up. She smiled with
surprise and said, "Kingmaker Le, I've finally seen you after you
hid in the royal palace for such a long time. Before, I had only
heard of your name but could not see you. It was so anxiety-
inducing."
She was very friendly. Wu Yu could not be a mood dampener
when such a beauty stood before him full of smiles. He smiled
and asked, "You are?"
The other party flicked her hair lightly and winked at him
before saying, "Me? I’m called Liu Yuan. From Giant Note City.
I'm a hidden dragon general here. I don't think you know about
Giant Note City. Giant Note City is a huge city in the Yan Huang
Ancient Country. It is larger than a residence. Have you seen
the color of my eyes? I'm not from the Yan Huang Tribe, but
the Giant Note Tribe. There are a number of us in Yan Huang
too. My dad is the leader of the Giant Note Tribe."
So she was someone from the Yan Huang Ancient Country, yet
was not from the Yan Huang Tribe.
It looked like the Yan Huang Ancient Country was more
generous than the Dark North Kingdom. They not only allowed
the existence of other tribes, but had also built a huge city for
the Giant Note Tribe. Even this young girl from the Giant Note
Tribe could get a high ranking position in the Yan Dragon Army.
Of course, it was without a doubt that members of the Yan
Huang Tribe occupied all places at the top.
Liu Yuan puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Don't belittle
my Giant Note Tribe. My daddy is one of the strongest in Yan
Huang."
Wu Yu now knew her identity. The key was, why was she being
so friendly with him? Perhaps they were related somehow?
Liu Yuan winked and said, "I know I'm acting very abruptly.
After hearing your stories, I'm really respectful of you. You
rose in the Dark North Capital as an outsider and returned to
Yan Huang. You even beat Prince Yao up so badly. You're my
idol."
She stared at Wu Yu daringly. She looked as though she
wanted to swallow him alive.
Wu Yu had never met such a friendly girl. At this moment, he
could only grin awkwardly.
Liu Yuan shifted closer to Wu Yu. She carried the scent of
plants, and it was nice. She whispered, "That asshole Prince
Yao came to my Giant Note City and publicly humiliated my
Giant Note Tribe. I hate him. It's a pity I wasn't there when you
beat him up. If I was, I'd definitely have cheered for you."
So that was the reason.
It was no wonder she respected him so much. It was because
he had beaten up her enemy. The Giant Note Tribe was a
minority in the Yan Huang Ancient Country. Wu Yu could
probably guess the humiliation and dissatisfaction in her
heart.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Kingmaker Le, I know you are here
at the Yan Dragon Army to use your 500,000 merits to trade
for treasures. This is your first time here. You must be
unfamiliar with the Yan Dragon Army. Since that is the case,
I'm recommending myself to be your guide. I'll introduce the
various places where treasures are kept in the Yan Dragon
Army. Is that good with you? I'm so envious. I've been here for
over 20 years, yet I only have 100,000 merits. I've long spent
them to become a hidden dragon general."
Wu Yu was also thinking about that. She was the only one in
the entire Yan Dragon Army who did not treat him like the
enemy. He, of course, agreed happily and said, "Then let me
trouble Miss Liu."
"Kingmaker Le, you don't have to be polite with me. Just call
me Little Yuan." Liu Yuan smiled slyly. Her lively, green eyes
indeed gave people a refreshing feeling. And a purity that
could only be found in forest air.

Under the watchful eyes of the camp, Liu Yuan could barely
resist clinging onto Wu Yu's arm to introduce the camp to him.
As she walked, she kept slipping glances at Wu Yu. She was
extremely happy and could not hide her smile. She was very
cute.
However, while it made things more convenient for Wu Yu to
have the company of this beauty when he just arrived, this
annoyed many people.
"Who's that bitch?"
"Needless to say, it's that woman from the Giant Note Tribe."
"You're right, it's the Giant Note Tribe. Our Yan Huang Tribe
girls would not be so shameless as to go after a man."
"If not for the Giant Note Tribe leader having some power,
they wouldn't be able to keep their heads up high. She still
dares to create trouble on our Yan Huang territory."
"Stop it, that woman is a hidden dragon general at the end of
the day. She ranks higher than us. If we anger her, we'll be in
trouble."
Many gossiped along the way, but Liu Yuan seemed to be used
to it and ignored them.
With Liu Yuan's help, Wu Yu really found things more
convenient. Basically, Liu Yuan could immediately find all the
things he wanted.
"It's a pity. You've 500,000 merits. That's enough to trade for
an advanced dao treasure.... But you have an advanced dao
treasure like the Dark North Royal Obelisk. It's normal that you
wouldn't want these average advanced dao treasures."
It was Liu Yuan's desire to have an advanced dao treasure. She
was now an eighth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
cultivator.
"Daddy said that when I reach the ninth tier, he'll reward me
with an advanced dao treasure. Heh heh...."
Wu Yu bought many things with his merits. As he temporarily
did not need any other dao treasures and dao techniques, he
traded for immortal medicines, immortal essences, materials
to refine immortal medicines, spirit designs, and dao treasures
for his doppelgangers. As he had too many doppelgangers,
500,000 merits was really little. In a short time, he spent all of
it.
This trip went very smoothly.
Except there were many Yan Dragon Guards who watched Wu
Yu. When they saw Wu Yu trading for treasures, these Yan
Dragon Guards were upset.
Some even scolded Liu Yuan publicly. Liu Yuan was furious and
scolded, "These people are really petty, they are not men."
"Don't be angry with them. But you've helped me today. Will
they make things difficult for you later?" Wu Yu asked.
"It doesn't matter. In the past, yes. But I'm now a hidden
dragon general. Only yan dragon generals and heaven dragon
generals can make trouble for me, and those people will be
polite on account of my daddy. So I'm not afraid," Liu Yuan said
without care.
Wu Yu was reassured.
"This is for you. It's nothing precious. It's a present." When Wu
Yu was trading for various treasures, he had used 3,000 merits
to get this stone with many spiritual marks. It was jade green.
While he did not know its uses, Liu Yuan should like it.
"Is that for me? I want it!" Liu Yuan smiled brightly
immediately. She was so excited, she wanted to jump.
Sometimes, happiness was simple.
After settling this, Wu Yu was prepared for his next
advancement.
Chapter 808: Infernal Inferno
Liu Yuan was unwilling to separate when it was time. She
treated Wu Yu like her idol and wanted to stay with Wu Yu
longer.
Wu Yu knew what she was thinking and gave a few core-tail
talismans to her. He said, "I don't have many friends at the
Immortal's Capital. In the future, we can meet often. If there
is any trouble, I'll help to the best of my abilities."
"Really?" Liu Yuan was so happy, she jumped up. While she
had the looks and figure of a mature woman with a slim, tall
stature; long, sexy legs; and the right curves, she was a very
cute and lively little lady in her heart.
They exited from the Immortal Medicine Hall, where they had
traded for immortal medicines. There were many people
outside. They probably wanted to see how much Wu Yu was
taking away. The people who worked here Wu Yu were also
very rude.
"This Wu Yu, why is he still here?"
"Hasn't he spent all his 500,000 merits?
“Taking things from our Yan Dragon Army. He's shameless."
There were over 100 Yan Dragon Guards gathered outside,
and they were whispering and gossiping.
Wu Yu and Liu Yuan were too lazy to bother. However, just as
he was leaving and Liu Yuan was going to escort him to the
gate, there was a bald man staring at them with hatred. He
whispered to his peers, "The most disgusting one is that bitch
from the Giant Note Tribe. She latched onto Wu Yu as soon as
he arrived. You look at her slutty and bitchy face. These two
will probably engage in improper stuff when they leave the
barracks! Women from the Giant Note Tribe are all so slutty."
Previously, they were rude and Wu Yu had tolerated them.
However, even he, an outsider, could not stand such
humiliation. When Liu Yuan heard that, even though she was
good tempered, she would be deeply hurt. Sometimes, the
dark imaginations of the human heart were the worst and
most poisonous. Wu Yu had interacted with her and felt that
she was passionate and energetic. She was youthful and did
not have any other thoughts in her heart. It was these men
who harbored dirty thoughts.
Slap!
Wu Yu disappeared in the blink of an eye. When he appeared
again, he was in front of that bald man. He slapped that man
who was still talking. Instantly, that man crashed to the
ground. Half his face was a purple-red color. This slap almost
claimed his life. He could only look in fear and shock at Wu Yu.
He wanted to resist and scold, but his teeth had all fallen due
to the force. Besides, Wu Yu was staring at him with
murderous intent. It scared him so much that he swallowed
his words.
"If I hear such words again, you won't meet such an easy fate.
I'm Kingmaker Le, and can send you all into any hell any time."
Wu Yu's eyes swept across the crowd coldly. No one dared to
look him in the eye. At this moment, all of them retreated to a
corner. Some looked at Wu Yu in terror.
Not long later, they picked up the guy who had fallen onto the
floor and escaped. They dared not speak in the process.
"You're so handsome." Wu Yu was still worried that Liu Yuan
would be sad after hearing that. He did not expect her to
recover so fast. At this moment, she was staring at Wu Yu
starry-eyed.
"Don't worry, no matter how badly they speak of me, I won't
bother with this nonsense and gossip. Vulgar men like them
always like to imagine ridiculous things. That's why they
cannot improve. I'll ignore all these cravens and advance
courageously. My dao is to become someone like my dad."
Liu Yuan was still quite mature in this aspect.
Wu Yu nodded and said, "Thanks for your help today. Now let's
part ways. I'm going back."
"Sure, we"ll meet again." Liu Yuan smiled and looked at him.
Wu Yu turned and left without hesitation. He did not walk far
when he turned back. Liu Yuan was still standing there. She
waved to him and gave him a refreshing smile.
"I still have something to ask you." Wu Yu did not leave but
returned to her side.
"Please ask," Liu Yuan said.
"You know that in the Dark North Capital of the Dark North
Kingdom, other than guarding the Dark North Capital, the Dark
Sea Army also has the mission of guarding the Alternate
World. The Dark North has totally suppressed the Alternate
World. So the Alternate World is a mere training ground for
the Dark Sea Army. One can earn merits by killing Spirits of the
Universe inside."
Liu Yuan was stunned. She did not know why Wu Yu was
talking about this. She nodded and said, "I've heard of that. I
like the idea."
Wu Yu nodded and said, "Then, is there a similar training
ground for the Yan Dragon Guards in the Yan Dragon Army?"
"Training ground?" Liu Yuan tilted her head to think. She said,
"There is such a place, but it is not owned by the Yan Dragon
Army. There are five great armies in the Immortal's Capital, as
well as a few other armies. We share this training ground.
Except this is not the same as the Alternate World in the Dark
North Kingdom."
"How so?"
"The Alternate World in the Dark North Kingdom is in another
space, while this training ground is called the Infernal Inferno.
It is in the Jambu Realm. It is in a huge and deep crevice at the
Yan Huang Ancient Country. It sits in the deepest part and is
filled with volcanoes and lava. The environment should be
more complicated than the Alternate World."
Infernal Inferno.
Wu Yu memorized this place.
"The second different point is that while the Alternate World
contains only Spirits of the Universe, the Infernal Inferno is
different. There are some demons and some Spirits of the
Universe in there. But more than them, there are ghostly
cultivators. They are called the Ghostly Yan Tribe. It is said that
in ancient times, they used to rule Yan Huang Ancient Region.
They built a country in the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
However, they were later annihilated by the Yan Huang Tribe.
Their descendants escaped to the Infernal Inferno and
survived. Until now, they have no one strong enough to lead.
However, they have always existed and hid there. The Yan
Huang Ancient Country is not interested in killing all of the
Ghostly Yan Tribe. On the contrary, they use them as the
training ground for martial cultivator armies. There are merits
for killing Ghostly Yan Tribe members."
It was unexpected for ghostly cultivators to live in the Yan
Huang Ancient Country.
It looked like every martial cultivator tribe had a history. For
instance, Liu Yuan's Giant Note Tribe had a prosperous time
too. It was just too long ago. Now they were also considered
prosperous to have a city in Yan Huang.
"Comparatively, because the landscape of the Infernal Inferno
is complicated and the Ghostly Yan Tribe have lived there for
a long time, they have set up many spirit designs. So it is more
dangerous inside. It is normal to have deaths and injuries
during training. I went there a few times. It is indeed very
dangerous. For survival, the Ghostly Yan Tribe members
basically kills without thinking and are highly adept at
ambushes. Sometimes, there's not even time to save or help
anyone."
After listening to this, Wu Yu finally understood this Infernal
Inferno.
It was indeed a dangerous place. However, that was what he
wanted, a most primal, dangerous place. Because he could not
kill and devour at the Immortal's Capital to make the Heaven
Devouring Avatar stronger, he could only go to places such as
the Infernal Inferno.
Wu Yu would not waste a chance to become stronger.
"There is another difference. People from various great armies
are at the Infernal Inferno. So there will be competition. It
takes about three days to reach it from the Immortal's Capital.
Inside the Infernal Inferno, it is still mostly our people. The
Ghostly Yan Tribe members are all hidden and have laid out
many traps. There should not be many of them left.
Sometimes, when the number of Ghostly Yan Tribe members
is low, we'll stop the training for decades to let them recover."
The Yan Huang Ancient Country was really vicious to the
Ghostly Yan Tribe. They were on totally opposite sides but did
not kill all of them. They used them to train their descendants
and forced them into hiding forever.
The last was Wu Yu's most important question. He asked, "Can
I go to the Infernal Inferno? Do you have the authority to bring
me there?"
Actually, Liu Yuan knew he wanted to ask this. She looked
troubled and said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The rule
states that only people from the army can go there. You can't
even though you have the status of Kingmaker Le. After all,
that is the armies' territory. Even Prince Le would have to get
the armies' approval before going there.
“I'm authorized to go alone, but I can't bring you. After all,
while you have merits, you are not considered a part of the
Yan Dragon Army. You are Kingmaker Le. Your merits cannot
be used to obtain a position in the Yan Dragon Army." Similar
to the Dark North, there were restrictions.
Wu Yu then asked, "Are there any ranks within the Yan Dragon
Army that can let me, an outsider, Kingmaker Le, enter the
Infernal Inferno?"
Liu Yuan thought about it and said, "Hidden dragon generals
cannot do that. However, a yan dragon general of the Dao
Querying Realm might be able to do so. Usually, heaven
dragon generals do not care about such things."
A yan dragon general was equivalent to a dark sea general, and
a heaven dragon general was like a dark sky general.
Wu Yu did not know of any yan dragon generals. He could only
see if he could find Qu Yin. However, there did not seem to be
a need to look for someone like Qu Yin to ask for something
that seemed so minor to him. Wu Yu did not want to owe him
favors. Besides, Qu Yin might ignore him now because he had
no value to him.
"Forget it. I'll think of a way when I go back," Wu Yu said.
"Okay, I'll also help you to keep a lookout to see which yan
dragon general would be willing to let you enter," Liu Yuan
said.
After their conversation, they were going to separate. Wu Yu
realized he still could not leave because many Yan Dragon
Guards had surrounded them. There was a large crowd, and
they came fiercely. Their expressions showed that they were
all ready to go against Wu Yu.
Where had they gotten the courage?
Obviously, there was a leader.
Indeed, Wu Yu saw a group of five hidden dragon generals
dressed like Liu Yuan. They were at least at the ninth tier of
the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. They were not too
old either. Such a level was already high. Actually, the leader
was young and arrogant. He was handsome and charming. His
long hair flew as he stared coldly at Wu Yu.
"This guy is called Yu Chenyu. He is first in the Yan Dragon
Army for those below 100 years old. He is very famous and
near the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm. It is said he can
break through at any time. Not considering dao treasures and
other factors, his ability is slightly stronger than Prince Yao. He
has another identity. He is the husband of Princess Ying, so
he’s the Emperor's son-in-law. He has a very high status in the
Yan Dragon Army."
Liu Yuan knew that this person was seeking trouble with Wu
Yu, hence she quickly introduced him to Wu Yu.
The key was what kind of trouble he was looking for.
When they surrounded them, the young man called Yu Chenyu
said in a deep voice, "Even Kingmaker Le cannot beat our Yan
Dragon Guards up in the Yan Dragon Army without reason. Wu
Yu, are you challenging the military rules and discipline of our
Yan Dragon Army?"
"If yes, so what?" Wu Yu smiled and looked at him.
Chapter 809: Yu Chenyang
Wu Yu had even gone up against Prince Yao, and defeated him
without showing mercy before the huge crowds, let alone this
guy.
He was hailed as the ace, and even had the status of the Yan
Huang Emperor's son-in-law. He might be even harder to deal
with than Prince Yao. But since he had come looking for
trouble of his own accord, Wu Yu had no need to back down,
because he had the status of Kingmaker Le and also the
backing of the Ancient Emperor's Edict.
Therefore, when he asked that question, it roused the ire of
many Yan Dragon Guards.
Yu Chenyu had seen how hardheaded Wu Yu was, and did not
blow up at this time. Instead, he used the anger of the Yan
Dragon Guards to lend credence to his righteousness. In a hard
voice, he said, "No outsider has ever dared to run wild in the
Yan Dragon Encampment! Your disrespectful behavior pits you
against the entire Yan Dragon Army. Do you dare to challenge
the Yan Dragon Army in the Yan Dragon Encampment?"
Wu Yu guessed that this person wanted to vent on behalf of
Prince Yao. After all, he was the Emperor's son-in-law, and
should be in the same clique as Prince Yao. Otherwise, there
would have been no reason for him to find trouble with Wu
Yu.
When Yu Chenyu finished speaking, Liu Yuan snorted, "Don't
kid around. There are plenty of people running wild in the Yan
Dragon Encampment, aren't there? All these princes and
princesses, royal family members, and other experts, all of
them humiliate humble Yan Dragon Guards as they please,
without so much as an eyelid being batted. If you wish to find
trouble with Kingmaker Le, admit it. Don't try to make
Kingmaker Le shoulder the label of the entire Yan Dragon
Army."
Liu Yuan was also a hidden dragon general. Even though Yu
Chenyu was much more powerful, they were both of equal
rank. And what she had said was the truth, and it shut Yu
Chenyu up in a trice.
He had not expected that she would shame him so and
complicate the matter.
With her help, Wu Yu replied with a grin, "Don't make it so
blatant. These kids do things in a cowardly fashion. They need
to borrow others' power to make up for their spinelessness.
After all, he's afraid of me. If he had any guts, he would have
declared it from the start: ‘I want to pulverize you.’ But that's
not him. It's me."
This song and dance had angered Yu Chenyu to burst.
Wu Yu wanted to see how this guy, who had popped out from
the blue, would handle it. Before even coming to the Yan
Huang Ancient Country, he had already mentally prepared
himself for such clashes.
The only thing he did not understand was his opponent's
motives for targeting him.
Who knew what he wanted.
Could he be unhappy that Wu Yu was taking 500,000 merits
from the Yan Dragon Army, just like the other Yan Dragon
Guards?
After all, he had been in the Yan Dragon Army for so many
years, risking life and limb. And yet he might not have earned
more than one million merits.
Being taunted by Wu Yu and Liu Yuan, Yu Chenyu's face was
indeed turning a shade of green.
Regardless of whatever his original plan had been, Wu Yu's
well-chosen words had forced him to fight him now.
As for Liu Yuan, he could not do anything about her because
internal battles within the encampment were forbidden, and
they were also of equal rank.
Wu Yu would never reject an opportunity to pick up battle
experience from any opponent he considered worth a fight.
Just as everyone was waiting for Yu Chenyu's answer, the
tension suddenly climbed further as a new force entered.
Looking up, a youth had descended from the sky. He was
wearing a different armor from the rest, with vermilion dragon
markings amidst the gold. The dragon markings were like
blazing flames, accentuating the wearer's splendor and
dominating aura. Just his armor alone was an advanced dao
treasure!
In the Yan Dragon Army, only yan dragon generals and above
had armor of advanced dao treasure level. Evidently, this
person was a yan dragon general, a higher rank than a hidden
dragon general.
Wu Yu noticed his resemblance to Yu Chenyu. He should be a
kin. Perhaps a cousin or brother or some such.
After seeing this person, the Yan Dragon Guards fell to their
knees, Liu Yuan included. They chorused loudly in respect,
"Yan Dragon General!"
A yan dragon general had appeared.
At the same time, Liu Yuan's expression changed. She quickly
told Wu Yu, "This is Yu Chenyu's elder brother, Yu Chenyang.
He has been cultivating for more than 150 years, and reached
the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm more than 20 years
ago. One of the yan dragon generals of the Yan Dragon Army."
Wu Yu had expected something of the sort.
As Kingmaker Le, Wu Yu's status was even higher than that of
a yan dragon general. Therefore, he had no need to make any
such gestures. Right now, he faced Yu Chenyang, who was
emanating a resplendent pressure. However, if he wanted to
overwhelm Wu Yu in terms of aura, his cultivation level was
insufficient. Without question, he would stand on his little
brother's side now that he was here.
"What's the matter? A skirmish?" Yu Chenyang demanded,
glaring at Wu Yu and then at his own younger brother.
Yu Chenyu gathered his thoughts, "I reply to the Yan Dragon
General. Kingmaker Le Wu Yu is abusing his status to run wild
within the encampment. He beat up a Yan Dragon Guard
casually, and I was defending their honor!"
As expected, he was not as brazen as Wu Yu, and decided to
employ his verbal skills instead, in the presence of his brother.
Hearing him, Yu Chenyang turned to Wu Yu, and asked
neutrally, "Kingmaker Le, does Yu Chenyu speak the truth?"
Wu Yu considered this. The Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm was one thing, and the Dao Querying Realm was
another. At the Dao Querying Realm, there was a chance of
reaching immortalhood, and that would be yet another level.
Presently, he had no way to challenge this person, and so he
said, "When someone humiliates another, I have to intervene,
no matter where it is. If not for the fact that we are in the Yan
Dragon Encampment, I would probably have sent him into the
next world already. As Kingmaker Le, do I need your guidance
when I reprimand a Yan Dragon Guard?"
Yu Chenyang was a shrewd person. He might even have
already known what was going on before he arrived. He again
looked back at Yu Chenyu. "And do you feel that Kingmaker Le
does not have such authority?"
Yu Chenyu responded to his elder brother's words, "But he's
just a foreign barbarian with the devil’s luck. He thinks he can
rise like a phoenix from the ashes? He doesn't even know how
badly he will die. Yes, I've shamed you. You already said that
you will intervene no matter where. Do you dare to fight me?"
Yu Chenyu had finally stated his intention to challenge Wu Yu.
Right now, his burning gaze was fixed on Wu Yu, and his desire
was palpable.
Many of the young martial cultivators, especially within the
encampment, were all hot-blooded individuals! It was normal
to fight when people did not see eye to eye, and mystique
clashes were common as they came! Since Yu Chenyu had
finally asserted himself, many naturally hooted and cheered
for him.
Of course, he might also have been emboldened by the arrival
of backup.
Wu Yu laughed.
"Wu Yu, best not to cross them this time. Yu Chenyang is
someone who plays his cards in an uncanny fashion. I'm afraid
that he will act against you." Liu Yuan was slightly worried. Wu
Yu looked back to see her face deeply troubled.
"It's all my fault, or they would not have an excuse to pester
you. Yu Chenyu probably made a bet with his siblings, which is
why he hindered you today. He even brought his elder
brother."
Liu Yuan was very doubtful and restless after Yu Chenyang
arrived.
"Relax. It's no problem." Wu Yu sent a smile her way. And then
he turned to the fired-up Yan Dragon Guards, especially the
two brothers. His attitude was not at all weak, and he
unexpectedly smiled. "Sorry. I know you want to challenge me
to bolster your reputation... After all, you're a nameless small
fry. But why would I accept the challenge of some nameless
junior without any incentive?"
He had also thought of something after the Yan Dragon
General's arrival. As he said this, Liu Yuan got even more
anxious.
The word on the street was that when Wu Yu was in the Dark
North Kingdom, a few princes combined could not hold him.
In the fight with Prince Yao, his sudden disappearance was still
unexplained even now. Therefore, they knew that if Wu Yu
wished to leave, he could do so at any time, and they could
not stop him.
"What rubbish!" Yu Chenyu was still young, and being called a
nameless small fry by Wu Yu made him furious. In the end, it
was still Yu Chenyang who held him back. He asked, "And what
incentives do you want?"
Wu Yu replied, "I can't be bothered to beat around the bush.
Today, this flea wants to fight me and make a name for
himself. It's very simple. Agree to my terms, or I won't
entertain you. And my terms are simple. As his elder brother,
you're a humble little yan dragon general. I want to go to the
Infernal Inferno to train. This paltry bit of authority shouldn't
be above you, right? If you don't even have this, then we can
forget this conversation."
Before, Wu Yu had asked Liu Yuan who had the authority to
allow him access to the Infernal Inferno. She had said that yan
dragon generals and above could grant it. Wu Yu had initially
thought to find Qu Yin. Although he was not sure about this,
there was no harm in asking. And right now, the appearance
of this yan dragon general had caused him to reevaluate. He
could kill two birds with one stone here. A perfect solution.
The mention of the Infernal Inferno had startled those
present. To them, the Infernal Inferno posed some level of
difficulty. But those of chiliarch and hidden dragon general
rank and above could enter at will. Wu Yu's goal was actually
to go to the Infernal Inferno.
The two Yu brothers looked at each other. Yu Chenyu's gaze
was burning, his will to battle flooding forth. To Yu Chenyang,
this was no hardship. The intent of the brothers to cause
trouble for Wu Yu was all too obvious. But Wu Yu himself did
not seem to care about this, and others would not intervene
either. Crucially, Yu Chenyu had clearly analyzed the fight
between Wu Yu and Prince Yao, and was fairly confident.
Therefore, Yu Chenyang said, "Fine. Then let that be the stake.
All who are present are witnesses. If you win, I will naturally
do this thing for you. It is easily settled."
"That's fine then. Everyone, back off. Let me find out just how
competent this small fry is," Wu Yu said arrogantly.
Chapter 810: Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk
It was so satisfying to be able to speak what he wanted and
fight when he wanted to.
What was the big deal with having a fight on the spot if there
were disagreements?
Wu Yu realized that he was getting closer to the Great Sage,
Heaven's Equal's will. During such times, his growth of dao
would be particularly fast. Of course, compared with the Great
Sage, Heaven's Equal, he had something of his own.
It was especially so after he got the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
Although his Primordial Spirit had been divided into two parts,
it was still one, so they would influence each other. When the
main body Primordial Spirit suppressed the second Primordial
Spirit, the second Primordial Spirit would also in turn influence
the main body Primordial Spirit.
This influence made Wu Yu more passionate, pure, direct. His
desire to battle grew.
For example, he would not want to miss today's fight. Even
though today's observers numbered far less than last time.
"Hmph." Wu Yu's arrogant attitude made Yu Chenyu sneer in
his heart. He probably thought that Wu Yu was too reckless
and would not live for long. Therefore, he was also very
straightforward. He instructed all the people to leave the
battlefield. It happened to be a huge square, a spot where Wu
Yu and Yu Chenyu could fight to their hearts' content!
"Wu Yu, you should be careful of Yu Chenyang...." Liu Yuan was
still worried. Her once lively face and eyes were also full of
worry at this moment. Wu Yu patted her slender shoulder and
said nothing. He signalled for her to go to the side.
He realized that she was still not at ease, so he said, "You stand
at the side and watch, I will try to finish this battle within 60
breaths of time."
60 breaths of time.
Liu Yuan was pushed away by Wu Yu without being able to
react. When she was pushed to a distance by Wu Yu, Yu
Chenyu, who had already been unable to restrain himself, took
out his advanced dao treasure!
Although he had only one advanced dao treasure, it was not
easy to reach such a level. He should be stronger than many
princes and lords in terms of martial cultivation.
As soon as he made his move, Wu Yu could generally see a big
picture.
"Souls Locking Pagoda!" Yu Chenyu held it on one hand, while
his other hand waved towards the sky. When he turned
around, a pure black pagoda was ready in his hands. The
pagoda was surrounded by black fog, and it was as if there
were countless suppressed spirits inside it, shrieking sadly. On
each floor, there were many white bells hanging. The light in
the white bells was shining, as if immortals were sitting in
them!
Yu Chenyu wanted to make a move first and gain the upper
hand!
Since he had decided to fight, even though it was just for a
chance to go to the Infernal Inferno and let the Heaven
Devouring Avatar grow stronger, Wu Yu would go all out now!
At this moment, there was only one yan dragon general at the
Dao Querying Realm nearby, so he was not worried at all.
Almost at the same time, Wu Yu's two extremely important
helpers appeared in front of his eyes!
The first was the Heaven Devouring Avatar. The Heaven
Devouring Avatar was on his body. It was just that he had
changed into a black fog, surrounding Wu Yu's side. During the
fight, his body appeared rapidly. His red eyes were
bloodthirsty, his white hair was flying in the wind, and his aura
was cold. In his eyes, Yu Chenyu had become prey.
Everyone was familiar with the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
The other one was the Skeletal Flame Dragon that Wu Yu had
summoned from the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Puppets of this
realm needed to be used. So when the Skeletal Flame Dragon
appeared, the bursting power of the gloomy, white bones also
appeared in front of the Yan Dragon Guards. People were
stunned at once, including Yu Chenyu!
"What is this!?"
"It's not a real corpse. This is not the way that ghostly
cultivators make corpse puppets! It is made from spirit designs
and some precious materials! This is a mechanism puppet!"
"But how could there be such a powerful puppet!? Besides,
how can Wu Yu have it?!"
Even Yan Dragon General Yu Chenyu was shocked at this time.
Looking at the puppet, which was circulating around Wu Yu
and roaring, he was too surprised to speak. He could clearly
feel the strength of the Skeletal Flame Dragon!
He knew that he had never heard of this puppet before.
Obviously, Wu Yu had never used it before.
However, there was no doubt that this was a very strong
trump card! No matter how much Yu Chenyu had researched
Wu Yu, how much battle data he had gotten on Wu Yu, when
the Skeletal Flame Dragon appeared, his previous deployment
of attacks would be completely disrupted!
Moreover, in this kind of battle, the avatars and puppets that
could be controlled by themselves were basically part of their
individual combat effectiveness.
Everyone was just in shock, and the battle between the two
directly broke out! Yu Chenyu was quick to respond. He had
prepared first. At this time, he turned the Locking Souls
Pagoda in his hand directly and activated the spirit designs on
it with his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy.
"Immortal Souls Locking Spirit Design!"
To avoid dragging the battle, he used his most reliable spirit
design immediately. Under his control, the Souls Locking
Pagoda suddenly became larger and appeared directly above
Wu Yu's two bodies and the puppet, occupying half of the
battlefield!
Then the white bells on it rang wildly. Wu Yu looked up and
saw that among the bells, the white light was more intense.
Indeed, many real immortals could be seen inside. They were
all watching above and despised whoever was below them.
They exerted their powers together and built the Immortal
Souls Locking Spirit Design. They attacked Wu Yu and the
others. In an instant, this advanced dao treasure exhibited
absolutely shocking destructive power! One could clearly see
a black spirit design trapping Wu Yu within and those
immortals suppressing him from above trying to crush Wu Yu
into dust and powder!
But this Souls Locking Spirit Design, while strong, directly
suppressed the Primordial Spirit. They probably thought that
since Wu Yu's cultivation was low, he had a weak Primordial
Spirit. Hence, they were confident and immediately used an
attack that suppressed the Primordial Spirit. They definitely
had such a plan!
If he suffered the blow head-on, it would be painful for Wu Yu!
However, Wu Yu coincidentally had a way to solve this! On the
one hand, the Skeletal Flame Dragon puppet had no
Primordial Spirit. It depended entirely on spirit designs. This
Immortal Souls Locking Spirit Design had limited effect on it.
On the other hand, Wu Yu had just learned the Spirit
Penetration Art. At this moment, it could be used!
Wu Yu first used the Spirit Penetration Art, and at the same
time, the Skeletal Flame Dragon rushed directly up into the
sky. His body alone had terrifying strength and was
comparable to an advanced dao treasure. A sweep of his tail
had great destructive power!

But the first to take effect was still the Spirit Penetration Art.
Before the other party's spirit design could take effect, Wu Yu
moved quickly and directly executed the Spirit Penetration
Art. A sliver of his Primordial Spirit rushed into that Souls
Locking Pagoda!
Spirit Penetration Art!
Activated!
This was an art of transformation. There was a risk of failure.
It was not guaranteed when he could break through! Hence,
he could not fully rely on it. He could only use it as a surprise
attack. However, Wu Yu seemed to have met a spirit design
that he was well versed in this time. He entered the Souls
Locking Pagoda at the moment the main spirit design of the
advanced dao treasure connected to the Immortal Souls
Locking Spirit Design. Hence, everything was still in process of
connecting. This was no doubt the best timing. Wu Yu cut in
directly and executed the transformation of the Spirit
Penetration Art. Instantly, he managed to achieve the best
effect, and that was to cut off the execution of the Immortal
Souls Locking Spirit Design!
Hence, something unbelievable happened!
The Offensive Spirit Design that Yu Chenyu was most confident
in almost worked. At that moment, it was as though the power
of the heavens had descended and the spirit design was about
to be completed, but it actually shattered and was destroyed!
This was shocking and depressing for Yu Chenyu. This
unbelievable change happened in an instant and greatly
affected his focus on his attack!
It was at this moment that the Skeletal Flame Dragon, who was
not affected, swept his dragon tail across and hit the Souls
Locking Pagoda. That great strength from the tail directly
whacked the Souls Locking Pagoda away. Yu Chenyu was
shocked and failed to control it. In the blink of an eye, the
advanced dao treasure disappeared without a trace. He would
need at least two breaths of time to retrieve it!
What Wu Yu was aiming for was this time gap.
He had executed everything smoothly, from the Spirit
Penetration Art to the Skeletal Flame Dragon. And the time
taken for the Spirit Penetration Art to take effect was much
faster than he had imagined.
Next, at the moment the Souls Locking Pagoda flew out, his
Heaven Devouring Avatar wielded the Dark North Royal
Obelisk and faced Yu Chenyu. At this point, Yu Chenyu was at
his most confused state, while the Heaven Devouring Avatar's
desire to battle was at its strongest. This was also Wu Yu's best
chance. Hence, he did not hesitate. His killer move exploded
directly!
He said that he would defeat his opponent within 60 breaths
of time, but it was not even ten breaths of time yet.
"Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk!"
This was the most powerful Offensive Spirit Design on the Dark
North Royal Obelisk! The target of its attack was very specific,
and it was just because of this that it had the lethality that no
individual could defend against!
After the sword pierced forward, thousands of black palaces
suddenly appeared behind the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
These black palaces twisted and changed into a huge human
figure, looking like an emperor, and then turned into a cold
current like the vast seas. It swarmed into the Dark North
Royal Obelisk. For a moment, this sword carried the cold air of
the skies!
The whole Yan Dragon Army was frozen in the cold when the
sword qi swarmed out. For a while, the faces of everyone in
the surroundings became glum. This was because they were
frozen!
Wu Yu stabbed his opponent with a piercing sword. At this
moment, his opponent could not even summon his advanced
dao treasure. He could only dodge and resist with all kinds of
mystiques and dao techniques in the face of Wu Yu's
unprecedented attack. Within a short period of time, he
exerted several kinds of dao techniques, but they were all
directly torn apart by the Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit
Obelisk. The cold sword qi gathered and penetrated through
everything. It once again reached its opponent. When it was
not yet close, the vast seas-like coldness covered the
opponent and completely froze him!
If there were no surprises, Wu Yu's next move could kill his
opponent!
Of course, he had no need to do that. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar finally understood this spirit design. He only wanted to
try executing it.
When he froze his opponent, quite a lot of sword qi also
rushed into his opponent's body. It was crazy and chaotic. In
the instant it caused the opponent some injuries, Wu Yu
originally wanted to withdraw. Unexpectedly, what Liu Yuan
was worried about happened. Yu Chenyang actually attacked
as soon as he saw his younger brother in danger. He also used
his advanced dao treasure and attacked from the side,
targeting Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar!
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar was not on guard against
him at all!
Chapter 811: Friendship and Trust
Yu Chenyang's intention was to force a defense with his
offense. Seeing his brother's life in danger, he acted decisively.
But in truth, Wu Yu had already intended to stay his hand after
defeating his opponent. He had not gone for the kill.
In that instant, Yu Chenyang should have been able to see this
clearly, and stayed his own hand.
However, he did not. As Liu Yuan had said - a cruel one. When
he attacked, he showed no mercy.
And all of this happened so quickly that many had not even
reacted.
In the same instant, Yu Chenyu had been defeated, and his life
spared. However, his elder brother, Yu Chenyang, moved
quickly. In the same instant, he had used some advanced dao
treasure to smash Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar into bits!
A result similar to Wu Yu's Unshackled Doppelganger clones
being killed. The Heaven Devouring Avatar exploded into mist.
Even the Dark North Royal Obelisk was sent flying, and Wu Yu
caught it and put it back in his Sumeru Pouch.
The Heaven Devouring Avatar's bits of mist twinkled with
golden light as symbols sparkled. Evidently, Yu Chenyang's
attack had not just been a violent dao technique attack, but
had also used either dao techniques or even mystiques in
order to deal a devastating blow to the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
A gleam of murderous intent appeared in Wu Yu's eyes.
He had shown mercy, but had not received it.
In that exchange, Yu Chenyang had not held back at all. If not
for Wu Yu's own quick reaction, the loss would have been even
greater. Even so, the Heaven Devouring Avatar had at least
been beaten down one tier.
Its abilities continued to decrease.
If this continued, Wu Yu's greatest advantage would be lost.
After all, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was still his strongest
weapon in battle.
Right now, it was roughly at the seventh tier of the Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm.
How could he not be angry at this?
At this time, Yu Chenyang was tending to his brother with a
neutral face, and treating his wounds. Yu Chenyu was truly
incompetent. Hailed as the foremost genius of the Yan Dragon
Army, he had been defeated by Wu Yu in just 10 breaths of
time. He was still unconscious, an utter disgrace.
Right now, although Yu Chenyang's intervention had forced
Wu Yu back, everyone had seen the fight between Wu Yu and
Yu Chenyu. The outcome was clear.
Wu Yu had crushed Yu Chenyu, and the Yan Dragon Guards
were angry.
Yu Chenyang's final attack had cooled them down a little.
When they saw Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar dissolve
into smoke, as though it had disappeared and returned to Wu
Yu's side, they celebrated.
"The Yan Dragon General has probably destroyed his clone!"
"It seems Wu Yu always depends on this clone during battle.
Right now, this clone has been destroyed by the Yan Dragon
General, so his fighting strength must be halved."
"That's right! Wu Yu has won the battle but lost the war.
Anyone who dares to cross our Yan Dragon General will come
to no good end!"
"All for the chance to go to the Infernal Inferno. Is it worth it?"
They were in high spirits now, laughing and chatting.
Liu Yuan was worried as well, but seeing Wu Yu wink at her
without any sign of dejection, she was a little more reassured.
"In the end, I thought you were going to kill my brother, so I
had to intervene. Although you stayed your hand in the end, I
was too late to pull back. I'm very sorry I destroyed your clone,
but you're the victor of this battle," Yu Chenyang said
somberly to Wu Yu as Yu Chenyu slowly came to.
Wu Yu gave a dry chuckle. This guy was too full of himself.
However, since they thought they were above him, he let
them hold on to their delusions. He said, "I want to know if
your word is still good. I defeated him. I can now go to the
Infernal Inferno, right?"
He did not expect Wu Yu to persist about the Infernal Inferno
after suffering such a great loss. He could not hold back a scoff.
After taking a look at his younger brother, who had yet to fully
come to, he said to Wu Yu, "In five days' time, I will head for
the Infernal Inferno. At that time, you wait for me here."
They still thought that they had come off easy, and could not
be bothered to stay here. Yu Chenyang took Yu Chenyu away,
vanishing in a flash. Wu Yu was left behind with the Skeletal
Flame Dragon and Liu Yuan.
Wu Yu first stowed his Skeletal Flame Dragon. He looked about
to see odd expressions from the crowd. They were not as
disheartened as they had been.
They were lost in conversation with each other, and soon
dispersed now that the show was over.
Wu Yu said his goodbyes to Liu Yuan.
"Is that clone of yours fine?" Liu Yuan fretted.
"It will grow strong again soon enough. And shock them all,"
Wu Yu said with conviction.
Liu Yuan broke into a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze.
She said coyly, "Then I will be waiting to see it."
Although Wu Yu was not completely satisfied, he could soon
go to the Infernal Inferno. Since he was going to devour there,
then it did not really matter whether he started from the
seventh or eighth tier. He was going to break through to the
ninth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm level!
This was the safest choice. If he reached the 10th tier, his lust
for devouring might grow too strong, thereby affecting the
real body's pursuit of dao! If it ever reached the state where
his real body found it difficult to improve because of the
effects of the devouring lust, then it would not be worth it.
Wu Yu returned to Prince Le's residence. When he reached the
royal city's gates, word of his deeds at the Yan Dragon Army
had already gotten out. It was still the Yan Dragon Army's
Heaven Dragon General Zhao Xuanyin guarding the door.
Seeing Wu Yu, he remarked snidely, "I hear that Kingmaker Le
has returned home with everything he wanted.
Congratulations indeed."
Evidently, a jibe at Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar being
destroyed.
Wu Yu did not react. Although this person was strong, his
status was out there. Even as a heaven dragon general, his
status was not higher than Wu Yu's. Therefore, Wu Yu said, "If
Master Zhao continues to be a door guard, you will definitely
see my gains continue to grow."
These were proud words delivered with a smile and fierce
confidence in his eyes. A powerful line that stiffened Zhao
Xuanyin's face. He did not reply.
Wu Yu returned to Prince Le's residence.
He naturally knew that his birth and his temper contrasted his
fortune and the Ancient Emperor's Edict. Here at the Yan
Huang Ancient Country, anybody would look at him with some
envy. Especially those who did not know how to keep their
tails between their legs, and still thought they were the best.
They definitely hated Wu Yu. A pity that with the Ancient
Emperor's Edict, no one could do much about it. What Yu
Chenyang had done today was the limit.
Five days passed in a flash, and Prince Le still had not
appeared. Wu Yu was even suspecting that he was avoiding
him. But it suited him. He could grow stronger while Prince Le
was still in seclusion.
The Full Moon of Nanshan popped up. He had heard about Wu
Yu's adventure at the Yan Dragon Army, and hurriedly asked,
"You're going to that training ground? The Infernal Inferno?"
Wu Yu said, "Yup. Are you coming?" The Full Moon of Nanshan
liked to train amidst a red haze of pleasure. This was his
method, and it was different from Wu Yu’s. And in his
pleasures, his amiable attitude was quite nice.
"Of course. I can't leave your side," the Full Moon of Nanshan
slurred as he continued to imbibe. His chest was well bared,
exposing his fair breast.
"Makes sense. Right now you're still living on my status. If I go
to the Infernal Inferno, you won't have a backer, and you'll
suffer for sure," Wu Yu mused. He saw the logic.
"That's right. You're a clever one. You understand Big Brother's
intention." The Full Moon of Nanshan guffawed cheekily.
"At least in the eyes of others, you're my lackey," Wu Yu said
irritably. But as he thought about it, his main reason for going
to the Infernal Inferno was to let his Heaven Devouring Avatar
grow stronger. The Full Moon of Nanshan already knew of the
secret of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. If he also knew about
the Heaven Devouring Avatar's secret, then Wu Yu would truly
have no secrets from him.
Could he trust him fully?
This was a problem.
These days, although the Full Moon of Nanshan could be
lackadaisical and slovenly at times, he was not a bad... pig.
After five days, he and the Full Moon of Nanshan appeared
punctually at the Yan Dragon Army. In these days, word had
gotten around that Wu Yu had defeated Yu Chenyu in quick
succession after taking down Prince Yao. And this time, he had
been even faster.
They could intangibly feel him rising.
There were many Yan Dragon Guards waiting around at the
Yan Dragon Army. They probably wanted to go to the Infernal
Inferno as well. The majority here were young, and their
futures bright. They were the bright, future leaders of Yan
Huang Ancient Country. Cast into the Dong Sheng Divine
Continent, any of them would be a superstar of the sect leader
level.
Yu Chenyang and Yu Chenyu were tardy. In their retinue, there
was a yan dragon general and a dozen hidden dragon generals.
"Today, I will bring everyone into the Infernal Inferno to train.
A month's time. How drastic your transformation depends on
you all. It's not your first time going in, so I'll cut the crap.
Everyone knows how important training is. If you want merits,
it will all depend on what you accomplish."
Yu Chenyang's face was serious as he spoke, then his gaze
landed on Wu Yu.
He saw the Full Moon of Nanshan.
From beside him, Yu Chenyu shouted loudly, "Wu Yu, we
agreed to bring you, but not that ugly boar demon! Get him to
piss off. A pig wants to go to our training ground?!"
This enraged the Full Moon of Nanshan. He said, "You runt,
you aren't even as good looking as my balls, and you dare to
bluster before me? Do you believe that I can make you a girl,
and get you on your knees before me to sing a tragic opera?"
Yu Chenyu was the consort of Princess Ying, and as the
emperor's son-in-law, he had never been humiliated so
thoroughly before. This time around, he could not control
himself. In truth, the Full Moon of Nanshan had never been
afraid of anyone in an argument. He had faith in his abilities to
talk this guy's ear off until he was on his knees, begging for
mercy....
Yu Chenyu was just about to blow up when Yu Chenyang
stopped him and said a few words into his ear. Only then did
Yu Chenyu give a cold laugh and ignore the Full Moon of
Nanshan. His meaning was that he could go.
Chapter 812: The Yan Dragon Fortress
"Those two dunderheads are up to something." The Full Moon
of Nanshan gave a derisive snort and ignored them.
"Probably going to do us dirty in the Infernal Inferno. Well,
how dangerous it will be inside will be up to us," Wu Yu said.
"There's nothing much to worry about. Our two legacies are
most suited to such environments. Whether the Ghost Sea
Prison or the Infernal Inferno, it's all our oyster. No matter
what moves they have, they can't beat us. We're only afraid of
a straight-up fight," the Full Moon of Nanshan said
confidently.
What he said made sense. Just his camouflage technique alone
could not be unraveled by all but a few.
Amidst the hostile looks of the Yan Dragon Guards, they
boarded Yu Chenyang's Stardust Warship. This, too, was a dao
treasure, and could accommodate many. Of course, its speed
was not comparable to Wu Yu's Somersault Cloud.
After boarding the Stardust Warship, Wu Yu left the
Immortal's Capital for the first time. The Immortal's Capital
was frighteningly huge, and just leaving it alone took them half
a day. After the better part of the day, they finally left the
perimeter of the Immortal's Capital. However, they soon
entered the border of a satellite city. It was said that there
were 1,000 satellite cities here.
There were many, and all were in the vicinity of the Immortal's
Capital. The spiritual qi here was fairly dense as well,
considered top-quality in the Yan Huang Ancient Region. It was
even better than many of the places that the sea region
demons held. Here, 1,000 castles were built. They came in all
sizes, and experts were as plentiful as leaves in a forest.
Although not at the level of the Immortal's Capital, there were
many Dao Querying experts as well.
From above, one could see how grand this core of the Yan
Huang Ancient Country was!
The dense horde of martial cultivators, the castles, the spirit
designs - all of it combined to enhance the magnificence of Yan
Huang! This was not the height of the Yan Huang Ancient
Country, but even so, they were considered the first in the
world. Other immortal kingdoms could not catch up if they
tried!
Wu Yu was humbled. The Yan Huang Ancient Country was so
magnificent, and young experts were a dime a dozen. He could
only stand out from this crowd because of the immortal's
legacy of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. Otherwise, he would
have drowned in this sea of talent. Perhaps he would have
ended up stuck at the Qi Condensation Realm back in the Bipo
Mountain Range.
And now, at least for those below 50 years old, he was already
at the absolute top!
In these few days, the Yan Dragon Guards ignored the pair. Wu
Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan lounged in a corner. They
finally reached their destination after three days. The Stardust
Warship began to descend. As it passed through the cloud
layer, Wu Yu saw the red and black terrain below, extending
up till the horizon. The black parts were scorched igneous
rocks, while the red was flowing lava. Just the surface of the
Infernal Inferno already looked apocalyptic, let alone what
else was waiting.
In these few days, Wu Yu had studied the Infernal Inferno a
little. He said to the Full Moon of Nanshan, "The Infernal
Inferno is huge. From the surface down till its depths, it is a
network of densely connecting magma flows. Some places run
more strongly, forming magma oceans. At least in the records,
the depths of the Infernal Inferno are unknown. But the
magma seems to flow from some endless source
underground. As for the Ghostly Yan Tribe, as well as other
demons and Spirits of the Universe, they are all in the depths
of the Infernal Inferno."
"A labyrinth of magma, with no end? Interesting. No wonder
the Ghostly Yan Tribe can hide out for so long." The Full Moon
of Nanshan found this curious.
"Yeah. After tens of thousands of years of adjustment, the
Ghostly Yan Tribe has adapted to the Infernal Inferno. Any
child can meld with the boiling magma since birth, and
cultivate ghostly cultivator dao techniques in the magma. The
harsh environment means that although the Ghostly Yan Tribe
are few in number, they are all deadly. They are especially
adept at hiding in the magma, so we have to be extra careful."
The Full Moon of Nanshan clamped Wu Yu’s shoulder and gave
him a few hearty thumps. "No worries, no fear. When we meet
danger, this big brother here will definitely protect you. Don't
be afraid to impose."
"Oi." Wu Yu pushed away his lecherous hand. At this time, he
could see about seven or eight huge structures amidst the
endless expanse of black and red terrain. At least that was the
extent of what Wu Yu could see. These structures were joined
together and extremely huge. Each one looked like a fortress,
a spherical shape that looked very sturdy.
This was a base that the great armies had built. There were a
total of nine, and the most central one was special. It was not
a base, but the core of the sealing spirit design. The other eight
were in the respective directions orientated to the central
fortress.
Each army had a base here. For example, the Stardust Warship
was about to land at the Yan Dragon Army's base, the Yan
Dragon Fortress.
Lava was spurting upwards from other spots on the land. This
place was completely sealed off, and the Ghostly Yan Tribe
within could not possibly escape from this place. There were
also countless sealing spirit designs hidden by the Yan Huang
Tribe's ancestors. Refined over many years, they were now
virtually impregnable. The slightest touch would spell one's
instant death!
That central fortress was the heart of the spirit design, and the
Yan Dragon Fortress was a crucial part of the sealing spirit
design. These sealing spirit designs not only kept the Ghostly
Yan Tribe in, but also demarcated the boundary of the Infernal
Inferno.
The Infernal Inferno had only eight entrances, which were at
the eight respective fortresses. This also meant that Wu Yu
needed Yu Chenyang's escort in order to enter.
As the Stardust Warship began to descend, a small gap
appeared above the Yan Dragon Fortress, allowing the warship
in. It sealed immediately after they entered. Looking down,
the Yan Dragon Fortress seemed like a huge castle. There were
many palaces here, which the Yan Dragon Guards could use to
cultivate or rest. There were tens of thousands of such
palaces, and the center of them all was a deep well with a
diameter of hundreds of zhang. It spewed lava and flames, and
was the entrance into the Infernal Inferno.
The Stardust Warship landed near this entrance. Everyone
stood around after Yu Chenyang stowed his warship. The
ground here was scorching, although Wu Yu felt rather
comfortable thanks to his Invincible Vajra Body.
After arriving, the Yan Dragon Guards were both excited and
worried. After all, they were all very young, and a few were
about Wu Yu's age.
"I've brought you here, so my job is done. The entrance is here,
and you can go in at any time. When you come out and want
to leave, there will definitely be someone willing to bring you
back to the Immortal's Capital. The Yan Dragon Fortress will
only open for recognized warships," Yu Chenyang said briefly.
He intended to sever all connection with the pair.

Of course, Wu Yu did not want to hang with them either, or

follow them around shamelessly. That was not his goal. He
only needed Yu Chenyang to bring him to the Yan Dragon
Fortress.
As for the rest, Liu Yuan had already explained it to him. After
he entered, he had to remember the position of the entrance,
so that he could make his way back to exit. When he wanted
to go back, there would be people leaving every few days, and
they could let Wu Yu tag along. As long as he reached the Yan
Dragon Fortress, Wu Yu could make his way back.
"What about the Yan Huang Fire Talisman?" Wu Yu asked.
This thing was like the Darkness Breaching Talisman. Within
the Infernal Inferno, there were many experts of the Yan
Huang Tribe watching. Once a Yan Huang Fire Talisman was
activated, they would rush to the rescue. Of course, the help
here was not as timely as within the Ghost Sea Prison, but they
could still save lives. As long as the ordinary Yan Dragon
Guards did not wander too far into the Infernal Inferno.
Yu Chenyang said, "You're not a member of the Yan Dragon
Army. Why should I give you the Yan Dragon Army's Yan Huang
Fire Talisman?"
Wu Yu smiled. "Seems like you'll be happy if I get cleaned up
by the Ghostly Yan Tribe, eh."
Yu Chenyang retorted, "Aren't you afraid of nothing? You were
so bold back in the Immortal's Capital. Why would you be a
sniveling coward here? I don't think you need a Yan Huang Fire
Talisman."
Since he would not give it, Wu Yu didn't want it either. After
all, Wu Yu did not really need it. Even if he was in danger,
others might not be able to save him. Although Liu Yuan had
warned him to get a Yan Huang Fire Talisman if he could, she
had guessed that Yu Chenyang would not give it.
"Bye then."
Wu Yu could not be bothered to argue with him. He had finally
made it here, and all he wanted was to make his clone grow
stronger. But the Full Moon of Nanshan was with him, and he
was still considering if he could let him know his final secret.
At this time, the Full Moon of Nanshan was completely
relaxed. He did not know Wu Yu's intention. Both were bold
and skilled fighters, and entered the Infernal Inferno with
neither experience nor preparation.
As they entered, Yu Chenyu and Yu Chenyang watched them
closely. Yu Chenyu was a little worried. "Bro, isn’t this too
much?"
Yu Chenyang said, "Don't worry. It's all their own asking, it has
nothing to do with us. Even though they have the Ancient
Emperor's Edict, we can't be blamed."
"But if anything happens to them and they lose their lives,
won't it be a huge affair? The Ancient Emperor himself invited
him," Yu Chenyu said a little uneasily.
"Just relax. Ancient Emperor's Edict, keke. It's just because he
wants the legacy. I suspect he made him Kingmaker Le so that
Prince Le can have his legacy. At that time, Prince Le will grow
stronger and stronger, and Wu Yu will fade away from view as
though his blood has been sucked from him."
"And if Wu Yu dies here, won't that simply benefit the Ghostly
Yan Tribe?" Yu Chenyu was even more worried now.
"He doesn't die so easily. At most he will suffer greatly. Don't
worry, I've sent someone to track him. More importantly, I
want to see what secrets Wu Yu has as well, that he would
want to come here...." Yu Chenyang said.
Chapter 813: A Tail
The business of the Yan Huang Fire Talisman aside, Wu Yu and
the the Full Moon of Nanshan came to the edge of the ancient
well that led into the Infernal Inferno and peered down. They
could see a few channels of magma churning below.
For the Yan Huang Tribe, being able to withstand the heat of
this subterranean magma was fundamental. For Wu Yu, with
the Invincible Vajra Body, this was nothing. Neither hesitated
to plunge into the magma stream.
The churning magma did hinder their vision significantly. If not
for Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire and Gold, he would be hard pressed
to see what was around him. They had to depend on feeling
as well. They followed the magma into a deeper part of the
Infernal Inferno, moving downwards past the surface magma
into a huge, subterranean space. In this space, magma sloshed
around everywhere. The long years of enduring high
temperatures had changed the rocks here. They had even
become precious treasures under the nurturing spiritual qi,
and spiritual marks had appeared on them. Only like this could
they continue to withstand the magma's erosiveness.
The huge, underground space and magma flows created an
enormous underground network that was incredibly vast and
deep. There was the constant sound of the magma's roar as it
spurted up, and then boiling as it flowed downwards.
Therefore, even underground, there was thick, white smoke
everywhere that obstructed one's vision.
In such a place, ordinary mortals could not possibly survive.
One had to be at least at the Jindan Dao Realm to remain alive
here.
"The Ghostly Yan Tribe members must be only mortal when
they are born. But even so, they can survive here. This means
that their bodies have developed to a very high level through
their struggles. It's said that their newborns have no spiritual
power but can swim within this magma." Wu Yu recalled the
details that he had learned in these few days. Now,
experiencing it for himself, he was awed at their ability to
withstand this heat.
In the fight for Yan Huang Ancient Region, the Ghostly Yan
Tribe were the defeated, while the Yan Huang Tribe were the
victors. But to be able to hold on until today was also an
admirable talent of theirs.
In this world, everything was fought over. Cultivation was
plunder, and in this fight, the Yan Huang Tribe held the
absolute advantage. After winning the struggle, they had
become the strongest, and controlled all the best resources.
Cultivation was such a merciless thing.
Everyone wanted to live forever and reach immortalhood. Yet
those that actually achieved this were only a few. Many more
busted along the way. Even if they did not die today, once their
time was up, they would also fade.
The two continued heading deeper, where the magma boiled
even more furiously. Wu Yu was still fine, but the Full Moon of
Nanshan was swearing colorfully, his forehead beaded with
sweat. In this environment, he was not at home.
"If I had known, I would have stayed in the soft comforts of the
Immortal's Capital. This place is a furnace!"
Since they had come, going back would not be that easy. Wu
Yu ignored him - he was just grumbling.
However, he suddenly halted before long. He said softly to Wu
Yu, "I feel like someone is following us."
Wu Yu had been surveying their surroundings constantly with
the Eyes of Fire and Gold. Because they were headed deeper,
it was more likely that they might encounter spirit designs set
up by the Ghostly Yan Tribe. Many Yan Huang Tribe members
had died to the spirit designs of the Ghostly Yan Tribe. These
were fatal traps that had to be discovered beforehand. If they
triggered one, even Wu Yu would be in deep trouble.
But he did not notice that someone was actually following
them. As the Full Moon of Nanshan said this, he recalled his
own journey, and that he had a similar feeling. Only that the
Eyes of Fire and Gold could not see this tracker for now.
"How do you know?" Wu Yu was quite curious.
"Smell. Sound," the Full Moon of Nanshan said confidently.
Wu Yu understood. He had the Eyes of Fire and Gold, and had
enhanced vision. But the Full Moon of Nanshan's nose and
ears were even more sensitive. In a place like the Infernal
Inferno, senses of smell and hearing were even more useful.
"Who is following us?" Since the Full Moon of Nanshan had
said so, then it had to be confirmed.
"When I think about it, it should be someone that Yu Chenyang
hired. Or perhaps those that knew we were coming, dedicated
to saving the Yan Dragon Army people. Regardless, best to
shake him off as soon as we can."
It was not a comfortable feeling to be followed like that.
The Full Moon of Nanshan could easily shrug this person off.
He could use camouflage, and cause his own tracks to vanish.
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar was currently in the
Floating Dreams Pagoda. He could use his Somersault Cloud to
leap out. But if he did so, it would be difficult to find the Full
Moon of Nanshan after this.
He could only ride the Somersault Cloud and allow the Full
Moon of Nanshan on, to see if they could shrug off this tracker.
"That's what we'll try then."
Evidently, someone who could track them through this
method would be at least a Dao Querying Three Disasters
Realm expert.
Wu Yu suddenly pulled out the Somersault Cloud. He sat on
top, and the Full Moon of Nanshan boarded as well. Without
any warning, the Somersault Cloud wrapped them both up
and burst forth with furious speed, charging deeper into the
magma.
The Somersault Cloud moved forward while flickering into the
ether. Therefore, the magma here did not impact its speed.
Even within the Infernal Inferno, Wu Yu moved at a frightening
pace.
He realized that he had overestimated his opponent. Given
how elusive his Somersault Cloud was, even if his opponent
was a Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm expert, in a special
environment like the Infernal Inferno, he simply had to shake
him off a little, and Wu Yu would be close to impossible to find.
While his opponent was still surprised by the move, Wu Yu had
already disappeared.

Regardless of who the person was, they were irrelevant to Wu

Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan now. After realizing that they
had shrugged their tail off, Wu Yu and the Full Moon of
Nanshan came off the Somersault Cloud.
In this underground space, they were already in a very deep
place. It was possible for the Ghostly Yan Tribe to show up
here. Therefore, there should be few Yan Huang Tribe
members here, and all around them was bubbling magma.
THE Spaces not filled with magma were filled with rising
smoke, as though they were in a steaming basket,
uncomfortably surrounded by magma.
"Come with me to find the Ghostly Yan Tribe." Wu Yu used his
Eyes of Fire and Gold and continued to search. The Full Moon
of Nanshan was also helping him with his ears and nose.
Ordinarily, he would be able to find people a little faster than
Wu Yu.
"You're not just looking for opponents in this Infernal Inferno,
are you? There are so many who are looking for trouble in the
Immortal's Capital. If you were just looking to fight, you
wouldn't have come here." Along the way, this thought
suddenly struck the Full Moon of Nanshan. He turned to Wu
Yu questioningly. He probably loathed this place.
The time had come. Let him know about the Heaven
Devouring Avatar's devouring abilities, or not.
Wu Yu had already thought it through along the way. Since he
had come here, both understood the other's reasons. And the
Full Moon of Nanshan was not bad indeed. Therefore, even
the ability of the Heaven Devouring Avatar need not be hidden
from him. After all, the peak of the Heaven Devouring Evil
Lord's power had been at an immortal's level.
Therefore, when the Full Moon of Nanshan asked him this, he
replied, "When we reach the Ghostly Yan Tribe, you will know
why I have come. I'll leave you hanging for now."
"Don't do that. I'm too curious a person. If you leave me
hanging, my heart will itch." The Full Moon of Nanshan
chuckled.
At this time, a sound suddenly attracted him, and he turned
serious, his senses on full alert. "Seems like I'll know the truth
soon enough."
This meant that he had sensed the Ghostly Yan Tribe in the
vicinity. Right now, they had not even seen a trap of the
Ghostly Yan Tribe. If they appeared at this time, it meant that
their luck was indeed good.
He had just said this when Wu Yu sensed the disturbance as
well. The two of them hurried towards the same place
unanimously. They had both independently identified it.
After speeding past a magma current and breaking through a
few boulders, they entered another underground cavern. The
two of them immediately came to head with what they had
detected. What surprised them was that there were dozens of
people.
However, they were quickly dismayed, because these were
not Ghostly Yan Tribe members. From their armor, they should
be from another one of the five great armies - the Huang
Dragon Army.
And they were all ordinary Huang Dragon Guards, youngsters
much like the bunch that Yu Chenyang had brought. Most
were at the fifth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm and below. There were a few centurions and chiliarchs,
and they were led by a hidden dragon general.
The generals of the Huang Dragon Army were also divided into
three ranks. They were the hidden dragon general, huang
dragon general, and heaven dragon general. Only the middle
rank was differentiated in the respective armies.
However, this Hidden Dragon General was quite strong,
probably at the ninth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm. That was why he dared to lead these
Huang Dragon Guards into such a deep area to train.
As they came face to face with each other, the group was also
scared at the sudden appearance of Wu Yu and the Full Moon
of Nanshan. They grouped up and stared anxiously at the pair,
their tension and killing intent obvious.
"Who are you guys? Ghostly Yan Tribe?" the opposing Hidden
Dragon General demanded of them.
Chapter 814: Ghostly Yan Honey Trap
One glance was enough to determine that Wu Yu was not a
Ghostly Yan Tribe member. He had the obvious characteristics
of the Yan Huang Tribe, and the intense heat of the Yan Huang
Tribe's bodies was starkly different from that of the Ghostly
Yan Tribe. Besides, the skin of the Ghostly Yan Tribe members
had a ruddy tint to it, and their eyes were also maroon. Wu Yu
was not like that at all.
However, he was not wearing the armor dao treasure of the
eight armies, and was therefore suspicious. Besides, Wu Yu did
not know how many Ghostly Yan Tribe members had
impersonated Yan Huang Tribe members within the Infernal
Inferno to kill people.
Also, Wu Yu had a demon with him. Ordinarily, demons would
not enter from outside. And the demons from the Infernal
Inferno were definitely in cahoots with the Ghostly Yan Tribe.
To the Eight Main Armies, the killing of the demons was also
worth merits. All life in the Infernal Inferno were prey for the
Yan Huang Tribe.
That was why they stared at Wu Yu so anxiously, especially the
Hidden Dragon General. He could feel how strong Wu Yu and
the Full Moon of Nanshan were, and if they were hostile, they
could wreak considerable havoc on the party. Therefore, he
was already prepared to use his Yan Huang Fire Talisman!
Wu Yu had not expected to be mistaken for an enemy,
because he thought that his reputation would have preceded
him. But seeing the looks in their eyes, they clearly did not
know him. This implied that they had been in the Infernal
Inferno for quite a while now, separated from news outside.
Be that as it may, he answered directly, "Everyone, please do
not misunderstand. I am not a Ghostly Yan Tribe member. My
name is Wu Yu, perhaps you might have heard of me. I was
granted permission from Yan Dragon General Yu Chenyang to
come to the Infernal Inferno. This demon is my companion."
He did not want to clash with these people. More, he had no
desire to fight them, and even involve a Yan Huang Fire
Talisman and more people.
But they had never heard of Wu Yu's name, although they
recognized Yu Chenyang's. The Hidden Dragon General
gestured for everyone to stay calm, and then asked Wu Yu
with extreme wariness, "Why should we believe what you say?
You might be a Ghostly Yan Tribe member in disguise. Here in
the Infernal Inferno, the only thing that can identify you is your
Yan Huang Fire Talisman. If you take it out, I will believe you.
Otherwise, don't blame me for what I do."
Wu Yu was dismayed to hear this. So this was why Yu
Chenyang had not given him a Yan Huang Fire Talisman. Now
all the Eight Main Armies' people would think he was Ghostly
Yan Tribe member.
However, this did not affect them. Since this bunch had not
heard of him, and did not believe him, then Wu Yu could not
be bothered to linger. Shooting a look at the Full Moon of
Nanshan, the two increased their speed and moved to the
side.
As they moved, the youngsters were still very anxious. If not
for Wu Yu leaving, many would probably have activated their
Yan Huang Fire Talismans.
"The Yan Huang Tribe has fallen here before, which indicates
that there is a possibility of Ghostly Yan Tribe members
appearing. Best be on our guard." After leaving the bunch of
people, Wu Yu continued scanning their surroundings with his
Eyes of Fire and Gold. He was most wary of trap-like spirit
designs.
Just as he said that, he heard a deafening sound from behind.
It was caused by a chain of explosions. The magma current
beside Wu Yu churned and then also exploded. This sort of
explosion was caused by Yan Huang Fire Talismans. And not
just one, but dozens of them exploded.
But the Yan Huang Fire Talismans were different from
Darkness Breaching Talismans. In the gloom of the Alternate
World, light was what attracted people. But strong light would
do nothing in the Infernal Inferno, and therefore it produced
sound. This would attract more attention than light!
And the explosions of the Yan Huang Fire Talismans were not
that far from Wu Yu. He and the Full Moon of Nanshan turned
back in surprise. Both were confused. Evidently, it had come
from the group they had just met, all activating their Yan
Huang Fire Talismans at the same time.
"They only used it so long after we left? Are their brains
rusted?" the Full Moon of Nanshan complained.
"Shouldn't be the case. Nothing to do with us - the Ghostly Yan
Tribe is there!" Wu Yu responded. He felt that they must have
met an expert from the Ghostly Yan Tribe. That was why so
many had been frightened and used their Yan Huang Fire
Talismans simultaneously.
Under other circumstances, one Yan Huang Fire Talisman
would be enough to get the nearest helper over.
When they came to the conclusion that a Ghostly Yan Tribe
expert had appeared, the pair hopped onto the Somersault
Cloud immediately, which swept them away at the fastest
speed back to where they had come from. When they arrived,
the Yan Huang Fire Talismans had just exploded, and this
bunch was already scattered. The sounds of ghostly wailing
and wolfish howls echoed sinisterly, and they could make out
a few grave injuries, and perhaps even deaths. The Hidden
Dragon General from before had disappeared.
After Wu Yu arrived, there was a black shadow fleeing from
the opposite direction. Evidently, the opponent had
discovered Wu Yu, and assumed he was the elder come to
their rescue!
Although it was but a brief glimpse, Wu Yu could ascertain that
the deaths here were caused by the Ghostly Yan Tribe.
In that instant, Wu Yu's eyes met a maroon pair. Although not
as vivid as the crimson ones of the Heaven Devouring Avatar,
the Ghostly Yan Tribe member's eyes had their own peculiar
brand of coldness to them. One could feel an unparalleled
vengeful mercilessness.
Wu Yu could do nothing about their losses. It had already
happened. Their arrival had already saved this bunch, because
they had arrived more quickly than the rescuers.

After spotting the Ghostly Yan Tribe, the pair gave chase on
the Somersault Cloud. Through this process, the Yan Huang
Tribe finally saw Wu Yu.
Before too long, just as Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan
disappeared, an elder arrived. Seeing the situation, the elder
was aghast, asking, "An expert of the Ghostly Yan Tribe came
to such a border area? Where's your hidden dragon general?
In pursuit?"
Someone wailed, "The great Hidden Dragon General is already
dead! Smashed into dust by the Ghostly Yan Tribe! Someone
called Wu Yu gave chase. We don't know if he's a Ghostly Yan
Tribe member!"
"Wu Yu? Why is he here? Of course he's not a Ghostly Yan
Tribe member. But since he's giving chase, I won't. I'll escort
you back to the Huang Dragon Fortress."
Hearing this, they finally understood that Wu Yu was not a
Ghostly Yan Tribe member, or he would have destroyed them
already.
For those of a similar level, there was virtually no one in the
entire Jambu Realm who could outrun Wu Yu's Somersault
Cloud.
No matter how familiar the Ghostly Yan Tribe person was with
the Infernal Inferno, and how experienced he might be with
the magma ocean's flow, he could not escape Wu Yu once Wu
Yu locked on to them. Before too long, Wu Yu and the Full
Moon of Nanshan had cornered him.
They had come to another vast, underground space, which
was difficult to set up spirit designs in. Wu Yu was not worried
about walking into a trap.
The desperately fleeing Ghostly Yan Tribesperson had not
expected the pair to be so terrifyingly quick. Right now, he was
being sandwiched from front and back. Whether he ran left or
right, Wu Yu could very quickly stop him. Therefore, he gave
up on running. He was not afraid of Wu Yu, while the Full
Moon of Nanshan was a more threatening proposition.
Therefore, he stopped to think about how to deal with them.
As he stopped, Wu Yu sized up this Ghostly Yan Tribesperson.
Firstly, the opponent's cultivation level was indeed high, at the
10th tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. No
wonder they could cause such devastation to the group. It was
rare to see a Ghostly Yan Tribesperson at this level. Ordinarily,
they were very protective of their lives, and hid deep within
the Infernal Inferno, and were not easily seen. Wu Yu's luck
was quite good to have met him.
What made him and the Full Moon of Nanshan shocked was
that this Ghostly Yan Tribe member was actually a girl.
She was observing Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan. She
realized that Wu Yu was very fast, while the Full Moon of
Nanshan made her wary. However, as she looked at the Full
Moon of Nanshan, her eyes flashed, as though she had a plan.
On closer look, the Ghostly Yan Tribe member indeed had a
ruddy complexion that looked scalded. She had a head of long,
lustrous, black hair that extended to her rump. Perhaps
because she often moved within the Infernal Inferno, her
clothing was extremely scant. Only a scanty top and a short
skirt. Her sizzling flesh was virtually nude and on display,
steaming with heat. This Ghostly Yan Tribe member had a feral
look in her eyes. After long years of fighting, she had the wiry,
compact build of a leopard, and her curves were generous and
firm. Her features, too, were world class, with an exotic charm
to them. Especially that perky behind - it was one that the Yan
Huang Tribe and the Dark North Tribe could not match.
Therefore, when the Full Moon of Nanshan saw her, his eyes
popped. Unable to take his eyes off her, he was salivating as
he said, "I thought that the only comforts to be had were in
the Immortal's Capital. So there are some here as well, and the
fiery horse type that I like as well. Not bad. Not bad at all!"
Right now, his lewd expression was a jarring juxtaposition to
the handsome features of his human form.
Wu Yu saw a completely different picture from the Full Moon
of Nanshan. The Ghostly Yan Tribe woman gave him a feral
impression, one who acted with savagery. She had such a high
level of dao, and from a ghostly cultivator's perspective, it
meant that she must have committed fairly atrocious crimes,
because ghostly cultivator techniques demanded such
heinous deeds to cultivate.
Chapter 815: Demon King's Flag of Children Souls
This Ghostly Yan Tribe woman was focused on the Full Moon
of Nanshan for now, wanting to get out of this situation
through him.
To secure her smooth exit.
Besides, she could clearly see that the Full Moon of Nanshan
was a demon.
The girl suddenly turned to Full Moon of Nanshan with a coy
voice and a pitiful poise. "Big Brother, you can't have a very
close relationship with the Yan Huang Tribe, right? Why are
you chasing me? This little sister's name is Ye Ying. I wonder if
this Big Brother will let me go?"
The Full Moon of Nanshan had a weak spot for her moving
plea, especially when it was such a wild girl begging him in such
a docile way. He coughed a few times, then said piously, "That
will not do. Although I'm not that close with the Yan Huang
Tribe, this friend of mine here is a Yan Huang Tribe member.
You killed his people. How can I just let you go?"
Hearing this, Ye Ying immediately knew their relationship.
They were just friends, so it would be easy to deal with them.
She probably had this planned out already. Slithering over
with an undulating sway to her hips, she came over to the Full
Moon of Nanshan, and her sexy curves and enchanting gaze
compelled the Full Moon of Nanshan's attention. And she was
still affecting the damsel in distress poise, with tears in her
eyes. She said to the Full Moon of Nanshan, "But you know
how pitiful we Ghostly Yan Tribe members are. Surviving until
now has not been easy.
"We are told from birth that we are prey. The Yan Huang Tribe
members are the predators. From birth, I have grown up
among death. Big Brother is not a Yan Huang Tribe member,
and you should empathize with our torment. Today, if you let
me go, Little Sister will definitely make it up to Big Brother,"
Ye Ying said in a trembling voice.
Hearing this, the Full Moon of Nanshan was very moved. He
sighed a few times and then asked of her, "If I let you go, will
you truly make it up to me?"
"As long as Little Sister can do it."
The Full Moon of Nanshan grinned cheekily. "What about
giving birth to a little kid?"
Wu Yu could not help but snort. The Full Moon of Nanshan was
too shameless.
In truth, Wu Yu knew that this Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman was
no innocent, little lamb. All that she had said was simply to
secure her escape.
After hearing the Full Moon of Nanshan's words, Ye Ying did
not get angry, but instead embarrassed. She said, "Big Brother
is a demon, and I'm a human. We cannot have a child."
Her bashful appearance brought out the best of her charms,
and the Full Moon of Nanshan's eyes were alight with lust
now. "No matter. I don't care about the kid. I just want to
enjoy the process."
Shameless. Truly shameless.
"But... but your friend is still here." Ye Ying's already red skin
flushed further, and her face turned an enchanting shade of
scarlet.
These two were truly going at it, and Wu Yu was becoming the
third wheel.
"Wu Yu, go on ahead first. I'll find you in a bit," the Full Moon
of Nanshan said to Wu Yu.
Seeing his impulsive look, he seemed like he was ready to eat
Ye Ying whole.
Before, Wu Yu had thought he was kidding. At this time, he
could barely believe his own ears. Was the Full Moon of
Nanshan truly beguiled? Did he not know this woman's plan?
That she only wanted to escape?
Just as Wu Yu was hesitating, the Full Moon of Nanshan told
him thim quietly, "Don't worry. I know what to do." Wu Yu
thought about it. He, too, had an old geezer with him, just like
Ming Long, who was probably not prone to getting his reason
swamped. The Full Moon of Nanshan should have something
good up his sleeve to deal with this Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman.
This time, although they had not yet gotten that familiar, Wu
Yu still chose to trust him. Trust was the foundation of any
relationship.
Therefore, without a word, he left the two, awaiting the Full
Moon of Nanshan's call.
After arriving at the Infernal Inferno, Wu Yu was in no hurry to
get back. Therefore, he was not that anxious as to whether this
Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman would end up feeding the Heaven
Devouring Avatar.
He remained at his original spot, awaiting for any commotion
over at the Full Moon of Nanshan's side. He knew that the Full
Moon of Nanshan was definitely playing Ye Ying.
Before long, sounds of fighting ensued, and Wu Yu returned
swiftly after hearing them. He saw that Ye Ying and the Full
Moon of Nanshan were locked in battle.
"This wench is a poisonous one. She thought to deliver a fatal
blow to me while seducing me. She didn't expect this brother's
phantom techniques to be even better than hers. She tried to
steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice bait. Now it is I
who took the advantage. What a bother for her." After Wu Yu
arrived, he saw the Full Moon of Nanshan hooting in self-
satisfaction.
So this Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman had a similar technique, but
the Full Moon of Nanshan's technique was even more
powerful. She had been taken advantage of by him.
At this time, the Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman was attacking in a
frenzied manner, a completely different picture from the
charming woman that she had been.
Her body had undergone some changes. Maroon scales had
grown over her body, thickening and fortifying it. Her petite
features were now snarling, and fangs and horns had grown
from her mouth and head respectively. She looked like a
wicked ghost! Even her body stank with the putrid stench of
corpses.
From a beautiful woman, she had changed into this form. Of
course, there was a reason, which was to make her stronger -
to enhance her Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy and physical
strength!
The Full Moon of Nanshan's methods were not useless. At
least they had forced this Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman to reveal
her true colors.
If Wu Yu had pitied the Ghostly Yan Tribe, he would not have
come here. In a place like the Infernal Inferno, amidst the
ranks of the ghostly cultivators, they would always be more
evil the stronger they got.
For someone as powerful as Ye Ying, she could never be an
innocent, little bunny.
Right now, she had shown her true colors, and there would be
no psychological guilt when they fought.
Cultivation depended on the coherence of a single notion.

At this time, Ye Ying and the Full Moon of Nanshan were in a

heated battle, and Wu Yu noticed her advanced dao treasure.
It was truly unusual to have an advanced dao treasure. For the
Ghostly Yan Tribe, such an advanced dao treasure might not
be available even at the Dao Querying Realm.
It was a flag the color of onyx. As Ye Ying grasped the pole in
both hands and waved the flag, the wailing of countless infants
came reverberating through. The more they wailed, the more
eerie it was.
One could vaguely make out that there were many faces on
the flag, all belonging to infants below one year of age. Each
face was different, and in short order, hundreds of faces had
appeared, and more would come.
This advanced dao treasure belonged to the ghostly
cultivators. This might be the darkest, most sinister dao
treasure that Wu Yu had ever encountered. Just standing
beside it, he could feel his hair standing on end. It seemed like
the entire floor was crawling with bruised infants, ferociously
crying and biting. They crawled over anything they could get
to, their pudgy hands sheathed with sharp claws!
"This advanced dao treasure is an abomination. You can see
that the most important part is that it uses the lives of
newborn infants!" Ming Long said with hatred.
"She refined her advanced dao treasure with the lives of
infants? There must be thousands of them. Such cruelty.... But
they can't go outside. Where did she find so many infants?"
"It must be the Ghostly Yan Tribe's own. Do you think they
can't fight amongst themselves? The strength of the ghostly
cultivators comes from their conflicts, and the winners get to
use the lives of the losers. There are not many ghostly
cultivators here, yet they grew strong. Naturally, it must have
come from internal conflict. Although she was not the one
who refined this advanced dao treasure, she must have some
similar characteristic in order to conquer such an advanced
dao treasure. Besides, this sort of advanced dao treasure
requires a constant replenishment of infant lives."
This meant that the Ghostly Yan Tribe was not so innocent.
The stronger ones had committed crimes aplenty.
Some ghostly cultivators already had their own nations, such
as the Devilsky Court and the Rising Cloud Nation. They might
have more favorable conditions for cultivation, and it was
those like the Ghostly Yan Tribe, who lived in the harsher
environments, who were forced to devise more cruel methods
of cultivation. Otherwise, how could they continue living?
Many things were not simply black or white.
But Wu Yu knew what he had to do. He had to destroy this
high-grade dao treasure, or at least ensure that it never saw
the light of day.
"What are you looking at? Interested in my Demon King's Flag
of Children Souls?" Ye Ying's voice was unchanged,
accompanied by a mocking smile at Wu Yu.
"You Yan Huang Tribe members think you're orthodox. You try
to exact heaven's justice, but you don't know that you forced
us to have to kill each other. We have to live in the dark. Given
a choice, who wouldn't want to try and do it right, and
cultivate until immortalhood?" Ye Ying barked as she waved
the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls in battle against the
Full Moon of Nanshan.
Her words moved Wu Yu. What she had said made sense.
Or perhaps this was just fate.
One would never know unless you were in their situation.
What pressures they faced to survive, and what choices those
pressures compelled them to make.
As Wu Yu started to crack with doubt, a phrase that he had
heard when he had just stepped on the path of dao came to
his rescue.
Cultivation was plunder. Only the strongest rule.
Cultivation was naturally plunder. If you wanted to realize the
justice in your heart, and shape the world, you had to be
strong enough. And if you couldn't reshape your own reality,
then you would be forced to respect the rules that others had
decreed!
"Are the sounds of babies crying music to your ears? The cries
of their parents were the same as well. But isn't it the Yan
Huang Tribe that forces me to wield this weapon? Therefore,
the crime falls onto you!" Ye Ying was well versed with such
arguments.
Wu Yu's reply was to summon the Skeletal Flame Dragon from
the Floating Dreams Pagoda, and order it to support the Full
Moon of Nanshan. While they fought Ye Ying, his real body
stood at the side. There was no opportunity to help. After all,
his Heaven Devouring Avatar was weak now, and unable to
synchronize well with his real body.
Chapter 816: Dark Portal of 3,000 Children’s Souls
The Full Moon of Nanshan had defeated the Three Immortals
Kunwu, and defeating this Ghostly Yan Tribeswoman should
be no problem.
But killing her was going to be difficult.
Therefore, there was the 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm Skeletal Flame Dragon in support and
Wu Yu in the wings. Even though Wu Yu's real body was only
at the second tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation
Realm, he had all sorts of mystiques and dao techniques that
could definitely deliver a lethal blow at the right time!
Wu Yu had yet to act. Ye Ying was already being beaten back
step by step by the Full Moon of Nanshan and the Skeletal
Flame Dragon. Ye Ying had wanted to flee many times. Even if
she could escape the clutches of the Full Moon of Nanshan and
Skeletal Flame Dragon, she would be soon caught up by Wu
Yu. She could not escape!
"My helpers will soon arrive. A few Dao Querying Realm
experts. If you fight me, your lives will be forfeit. I advise you
all to flee for your lives!" Ye Ying said ominously.
Wu Yu snorted. "If that were true, then you definitely would
not say it. Looks like you're really afraid."
Given the nature of the Ghostly Yan Tribe, if she truly had
helpers, she would not say so, but simply hold on for dear life.
"You continue trying to be smart, then. You'll find out soon
enough." Ye Ying laughed coldly. She was currently employing
the Demon King's Avatar, and looked grotesque. After being
doubly suppressed by the Full Moon of Nanshan and the
puppet, she finally found a chance for a breather, and
brandished the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls. Her Violet
Kingdom Primordial Energy activated its spirit designs!
Instantly, the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls brought
forth thousands of children's faces. They came thick and fast,
bawling. Their frail souls had been trapped within, and their
cries strengthened the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls.
The wails echoing around gave one goosebumps!
At that time, the eerie moaning of souls could be heard as the
spirit designs activated. At this time, countless spirit designs
were working.
"Dark Portal of 3,000 Children's Souls!"
As Ye Ying's voice rang out across the Infernal Inferno, she
planted the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls into the
ground. A huge, black spirit design appeared under their feet,
and the runes on the spirit design were red. It seemed to shift
into a poisonous snake, and in the transformation, four
ominous doors appeared to the north, south, east, and west.
Within those doors, a black vortex swirled with a devouring
power, dragging people in!
Next, 3,000 wisps of black smoke streamed out of the Demon
King's Flag of Children Souls. They spread out into all
directions, and turned into snarling ghostly infants where they
landed on the spirit design. Their bodies were extremely
undeveloped, although they had sharp fangs and dark purple
claws. They looked weak and chubby, but moved with energy,
leaping and jumping!
Before, they had only been shadows, but now they had been
given form, as though real flesh and blood. They came
charging towards Wu Yu and the others. A truly heart-
stoppingly scary sight!
"Spirit Penetration Art!" The spirit design on this advanced dao
treasure was too disgusting. Wu Yu used the Spirit Penetration
Art immediately after this Offensive Spirit Design was
activated. He separated a sliver of his Primordial Spirit, and
entered the advanced dao treasure. This was a test for Wu Yu.
A ghostly cultivator's dao treasure was completely different
from an ordinary dao treasure. Ordinary dao treasures had
their own abilities, such as wind, water, fire, earth, lightning,
but would not have such wicked, bloody, and savage
elements, as though he had entered a true hell.
Wu Yu did not care about this. He entered the spirit design
with the Spirit Penetration Art. Given his unfamiliarity with
ghostly cultivator spirit designs, dispelling his opponent's spirit
design was impossible, but it was still possible to affect it.
Weng!
Of the 3,000 ghostly infants, about 1,000 had swarmed the
Skeletal Flame Dragon. They were extremely strong, ripping
and tugging at the Skeletal Flame Dragon, dragging it towards
the four ghostly doors.
Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan were also accosted by
1,000 ghostly infants each.
Luckily, Wu Yu's Spirit Penetration Art was effective at this
time. The entire spirit design seemed to have been suddenly
sabotaged. It shook and shuddered and flashed with light. The
3,000 ghostly infants were also affected, and their strength
ebbed away dramatically. Some even turned on each other!
"Enough!" The Full Moon of Nanshan was also sick at this sight.
"Forbidden Waters of the Milky Way."
In this battle, he had been in human form throughout.
Actually, the Full Moon of Nanshan had the legacy of Marshal
Tian Peng. This meant that after transforming into his true
form, he was not much stronger, besides in the physical
aspect. Therefore, he fought in human form most of the time.
After all, his human form looked so much more handsome....
At this time, he used a skill that was unclear if it were mystique
or dao technique. The entire spirit design was shrouded in
black waters. This water was born of the void, and flooded
everything, bringing the entire region under his control!
He heard the Full Moon of Nanshan cry, "Heavier! Heavier!"
Wu Yu and the Skeletal Flame Dragon were unaffected in
these inky waters, but Wu Yu saw the ghostly infants sink to
the depths, as though being pressed down by some heavy
object on their heads!
Finally, they were torn to bits by the water, and vanished in
the spirit design. As for the spirit design, it, too, faced
enormous pressure and crumbled. Throughout this process,
Wu Yu saw that Ye Ying was grimly holding on, her face a mask
of agony. She gripped the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls,
which was also shuddering under the Full Moon of Nanshan's
assault.
Wu Yu guessed that the water was dense, exerting inordinate
pressure. Besides the Full Moon of Nanshan's allies, everyone
else would be crushed by the pressure of the water!
As for the Dark Portal of 3,000 Children's Souls, it had already
been destabilized by Wu Yu's Spirit Penetration Art, and was
not as complete as it was at the start.
Right now, the immortal treasure had crumbled, and only Ye
Ying was left. The Full Moon of Nanshan called back the black
waters, forming a sphere of just three zhang wide or so. The
water within was pitch black, and Ye Ying was trapped in this
sphere of water.
Without much help from Wu Yu, the Full Moon of Nanshan
had finished his opponent off.
His dense Forbidden Waters of the Milky Way was indeed
incredibly powerful. It was like a ball of metal that had also
crushed the Three Immortals Kunwu.
Bang, bang, bang!
DWithin, deafening sounds came from within the Forbidden
Waters of the Milky Way. Evidently, Ye Ying was trying to
break free. However, the Full Moon of Nanshan had
everything under control. The black ball continued to contract.
Although it was liquid, it was denser than anything in the
world. The more it shrank, the more terrifying it was.
"You two! You will definitely die in the Infernal Inferno! I will
remember you! The Ghostly Yan Tribe remembers you now!
"You will not escape the Infernal Inferno! We will bring you to
the deepest areas of the Infernal Inferno and show you the
true extent of hell!
"That is the heaven of us ghostly cultivators!"

As Ye Ying was being tormented by the Full Moon of Nanshan,

she continued to cry out miserably.
Finally, her voice weakened, and then stopped. The Full Moon
of Nanshan looked at Wu Yu. "It's done now. What were you
going to show me before?"
Their teamwork here had indeed improved their affinity.
Finally, they had even killed an expert of the Ghostly Yan Tribe.
Wu Yu said, "Just watch and see."
The Full Moon of Nanshan released his Forbidden Waters of
the Milky Way and revealed the corpse of Ye Ying, as well as
the Demon King's Flag of Children Souls. The advanced dao
treasure was too difficult to break down, and Wu Yu put it
away, saying, "Any objections if I seal away this advanced dao
treasure?"
"By all means. Big Brother here was given a real scare just
now," the Full Moon of Nanshan said, fanning himself.
He was waiting for Wu Yu to tell him his reason for coming to
the Infernal Inferno.
Wu Yu stashed the advanced dao treasure, and his Heaven
Devouring Avatar had already appeared. With the Full Moon
of Nanshan watching, it morphed into a black mist that
embroiled the corpse of Ye Ying. Before long, the Heaven
Devouring Avatar turned into a human again, while Ye Ying's
corpse had vanished. The Heaven Devouring Avatar's color
looked much better now.
He had already recovered to roughly the eighth tier of the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. The damage done by
Yu Chenyang had been undone. This little detail eluded the Full
Moon of Nanshan.
"Your avatar can devour flesh to regenerate?" That's what he
thought.
Wu Yu laughed. "Something like that. I can't kill anyone in the
Immortal's Capital, so I can only come here."
The Full Moon of Nanshan said, "You truly have more
marvelous things than I do. This avatar is already strong, and
it even has such techniques. Respect. Together with the
puppets, I'm not your match anymore. Now that it's done, are
we leaving the Infernal Inferno?"
He followed Wu Yu now, wherever he went.
Wu Yu shook his head, saying, "It's not over. How can we just
leave after encountering one Ghostly Yan Tribe member?"
"That's true. Especially if they're all beauties, and as long as
they don't turn ugly later. If they could just behave
themselves, and not try to kill us like the last one, that would
be awesome." The Full Moon of Nanshan was fantasizing
again.
Clearly, he had not comprehended the true ability of the
Heaven Devouring Avatar. But Wu Yu was in no hurry. He knew
that the Full Moon of Nanshan would come to see it. And
when he did, that would be the real test of their friendship.
"From hereon, there will definitely be many trap spirit designs
by the ghostly cultivators. We have to take extra care."
"No problem. We've been lazing in the Immortal's Capital for
a while now. A thrill now and then is not a bad thing."
Wu Yu was in a hurry to find another Ghostly Yan
Tribesperson. The cravings of his Heaven Devouring Avatar
were growing. He could bring it to the ninth tier of the
Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm, and it would be even
stronger when paired with the Dark North Royal Obelisk.
And perhaps a bit beyond that. He had to be well prepared,
because he did not know when Prince Le would exit seclusion.
Chapter 817: Thunder Flame Army
Just as they were prepared to set off, Wu Yu and the Full Moon
of Nanshan heard some commotion from a certain direction
at almost the same time. It seemed that a large number of
people were approaching them rapidly.
They had likely been attracted by the commotion from the
previous battle and therefore had locked down on this
location.
Wu Yu was stunned and asked, "Could it be that Ye Ying was
telling the truth? That she had Dao Querying Realm
reinforcements? And not just a single person?"
Otherwise, who could possibly find this place so rapidly?
The other party approached swiftly. Before Wu Yu could leave,
they faced off.
This was partly because Wu Yu wasn't in a hurry as he was
confident he could away even if he met some Dao Querying
Realm experts.
Nonetheless, Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan reacted to
the situation swiftly. Those that arrived weren't from the
Ghostly Yan Tribe, but their own.
Obviously, they wouldn't be considered as on their side
completely. Taking a closer look, the group was made up of
four men and three women, a total of seven. Their cultivation
years were roughly in the range of 100, so all of them were still
looking like youths. For the men, they were basically
uncommonly impressive, honorable, and imposing. For the
women, they had beauty that could charm an entire city.
Furthermore, the three girls each had their strengths. One was
alluring and captivating, one was lively and cute, and the last
one was cold and noble. All three of them were wearing suits
of armor from one of the Eight Main Armies. Those suits of
armor were purple and white. Although the designs were
similar, each of them gave off a different vibe. Nonetheless,
they were all alluring.
As for the men, they were likely the descendents of provincial
lords, city lords, or other major characters. These men had
likely been brought up with golden spoons in their mouths and
practiced the best dao techniques and mystiques. Their
foresight and actions couldn't be compared to those of
ordinary Yan Huang Tribe cultivators.
None of them were weak, and they were all hidden dragon
generals! The four men were at the 10th tier of the Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm, while the three women were at
the ninth tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. It
was clear that the men were protecting the women and that
they had formed a team to experience the trials in the Infernal
Inferno.
Groups like them were common in the Immortal's Capital.
After all, this was a gathering land of these geniuses. However,
it was still uncommon to encounter them here, as this was
more commonly a place where a hidden dragon general would
lead a huge batch of people for trials.
When Wu Yu spotted them, they also noticed Wu Yu. Clearly,
there were lingering signs of a battle here. Therefore, they
could easily tell that an intense battle had broken out here
moments ago.
Wu Yu recalled how he was misunderstood previously. In that
case, would this group of people know about his identity?
Just when he had the doubt in mind, a rather slender and
frosty looking guy among the four men said coldly to Wu Yu,
"Wu Yu, I heard you gave chase to a Ghostly Yan Tribe
member. Seeing that there are signs of battle here, where is
that Ghostly Yan Tribe member?"
So they were also tracking Ye Ying, the Ghostly Yan Tribe
member. It was not surprising for Wu Yu to encounter them
here. Since they could recognize him, this situation would be
easier to handle. Wu Yu questioned, "Who are you guys, then?
Is this how you should talk to Kingmaker Le? Without even
introducing yourselves?"
They were probably the most elite group of hidden dragon
generals in that army. From his collection, there weren't many
10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm dark north
generals in the Dark Sea Army.
When questioned by Wu Yu, they broke into laughter. Clearly,
they had never respected Wu Yu. They laughed amongst
themselves for some time before one of the girls said in a
coquettish tone, "You don't even know us from the Thunder
Flame Army and yet you are in the Infernal Inferno. As for who
we are, you don't have to know. We are just asking you where
that Ghostly Yan Tribe member is. It seems like you were
defeated and ashamed to speak of it."
The Thunder Flame Army was likely one of the Eight Main
Armies. However, they weren't in the Immortal's Capital, but
some other area. All of them had a tinge of thunder aura
around them. When fire and thunder fused, the destructive
force was immense.
A burly man interrupted and demanded sternly, "Wu Yu, spare
us your nonsense and don't waste our time. Tell us where the
Ghostly Yan Tribe member is! That Ghostly Yan Tribe member
has committed heinous crimes and must be apprehended. If
you cause a delay, you will have to bear the responsibility!"
Seeing how haughty they were, the Full Moon of Nanshan was
annoyed. He said, "You guys dare to speak to Kingmaker Le in
this manner? Aren't you guys afraid of punishment? Even
though you guys are heaven dragon generals, you guys have
to be respectful in the face of Kingmaker Le!"
The other party broke into laughter once again. The second
girl was the first to speak. "What influence does he have?
Prince Le hasn't even returned. Who's the one conferring him
with authority? Besides, nothing certain yet. No one knows
what the outcome will be. Some people are just too naive and
aren't aware of their current predicament. Does he really think
Yan Huang is a paradise for him? Regardless, we are speaking
here. Why is a pig like you interrupting us?"
Seeing how arrogant the girl was, the Full Moon of Nanshan
wasn't infuriated. Instead, he tittered, "Be cocky all you want.
If I get you in bed at some point, I'll let you beg for mercy to
my crotch!"
If it was a verbal contest, the Full Moon of Nanshan would be
first in the world. Hearing him, the seven of them were fuming
from their noses and ears. It was especially so for the four men
- they were ready to strike instantly. Nonetheless, they held
themselves back and chose to hurl insults and derogatory
comments instead.
"Hey, I, your master, have eyes on all three of you. When the
time comes, all three of you shall get in bed with me. You guys
will serve me in rotation. Whoever doesn't work hard, I,your
master, will smack her little ass." The Full Moon of Nanshan
chuckled amidst the insults. Clearly, he was satisfied with the
setting he had imagined.
This time, they were shivering and turning green from anger.
At this point, they no longer cared about Wu Yu's identity and
were about to strike. They wouldn't making things difficult for
Wu Yu, as Wu Yu still held the title of Kingmaker Le. Therefore,
they thought of surrounding the Full Moon of Nanshan
directly.
Wu Yu could tell that an impending fight was about to erupt
and was glad at how the Full Moon of Nanshan had backed
him. He was also surprised by the guts of the Full Moon of
Nanshan. As such, he interrupted and blurted frankly, "You
guys can forget about pursuing the Ghostly Yan Tribe member.
I've killed her. If there's nothing else, we will be leaving."
Fighting with them wouldn't benefit him. Moreover, they had
the advantage in number and four 10th tier Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm cultivators. If a fight broke out, the Full
Moon of Nanshan and him wouldn't be in an advantageous
position. Therefore, there wasn't a point in him remaining
here. He rode his Somersault Cloud immediately and opened
a distance in a swoosh. When the seven of them pounced
forward, they missed completely.
"You guys killed the Ghostly Yan Tribe member? Where's her
advanced dao treasure, then? Where? A sinister object like
that should be handed to a heaven dragon general to be
destroyed! Wu Yu, I won't pursue the nonsense the bastard
beside you has blurted as long as you hand us that advanced
dao treasure!" When the other party heard Wu Yu, they
changed their target immediately.
It appeared that the advanced dao treasure was more
important to them.
Wu Yu scoffed and said, "Hand this over to you guys so you
guys can collect merits by submitting it? Or say that you guys
were the ones that killed the Ghostly Yan Tribe member?
Wishful thinking!"
Perhaps their thoughts were seen through by Wu Yu. At this
point, they were infuriated from shame.
"Nonsense! You have no right to possess such a sinister object!
You have to hand it over to a heaven dragon general. This is
the rule of our Eight Main Armies!" a man from the group said.
Wu Yu answered coldly, "I'm not from any of your Eight Main
Armies. Why do I have to follow your rules? Furthermore, I can
do it myself if that has to be done. This has nothing to do with
you guys. Goodbye!"
When he finished his words, he rode the Somersault Cloud,
brought the Full Moon of Nanshan along, and dove deeper. He
wasn't moving extremely swiftly, as the deeper they went, the
higher the chance they would encounter traps set by the
Ghostly Yan Tribe. If they moved too rapidly, he was afraid he
would detect the existence of a trap.
Initially, he thought that group wouldn't pursue after seeing
him leave. To his surprise, they didn't give up and had pursued
Wu Yu just for the advanced dao treasure!
"Fools! To think they dare to clash with us.... We will let them
experience real pain later on." The Full Moon of Nanshan
turned around and smiled sheepishly.

Seeing them giving chase, they would continue following if Wu

Yu didn't pick up speed. This wouldn't do. Although this might
be a little rash, he could only accelerate and dig for more clues
slowly after shaking them off.
A river of magma was right ahead of them. Wu Yu dove in and
was suddenly surrounded by boiling magma. It was hot
enough to blur one’s vision.
Hearing consecutive sounds of magma splashing, he knew
they had not given up.
Wu Yu believed he should be able to shake them off at his
speed. He was getting a little furious by now. The fact that this
group was hot on his heels was evidence of them completely
disrespecting him.
However, at this very moment, he felt like he had smashed
into something solid.
"Shit!" This might very well be a spirit design trap set by the
Ghostly Yan Tribe.
He recalled that the taboo in the Infernal Inferno was giving
chase. This was because it would be easy to enter spirit
designs by accident.
Wu Yu himself wasn't too afraid, but he had the Full Moon of
Nanshan with him. The second tier of Somersault Cloud wasn't
capable of bringing him along and out of a spirit design.
Before he could think more, he had entered the region.
To his astonishment, the surrounding magma and the
scorching heat suddenly disappeared....
What replaced those was a paradise in the human realm.
Wu Yu was surprised to find himself in an immortal-like
location. He stood at the top of a tall mountain and looked
around. Mountains formed natural barricades and grassfields
extended indefinitely. At the top of the numerous mountains,
immortal fog lingered. The area looked just like a beautiful
painting.
Below his feet were forests, and further down the trees, birds
sang and flowers bloomed.
Although the view was beautiful and wasn't really shocking,
Wu Yu was in the hell-like Infernal Inferno the previous
moment. To be plunged into a place like this so suddenly, he
couldn't really react in the first instant.
"We definitely have not entered a new area. Everything before
us is just an illusion caused by a spirit design," the Full Moon
of Nanshan remarked with absolute certainty after looking
around.
Just as he completed his words, exclaims could be heard from
behind. Those seven people giving chase had also followed
them in. At this point, they were astounded by the
surrounding view. It was especially so for the girls, who
exclaimed in shock. At the same time, they were clearly fearful
and petrified.
"Don't worry, we will be fine. We are still here," the men
consoled.
"These are just spirit designs set by the Ghostly Yan Tribe.
There's nothing to be afraid of. We have numbers on our side
- this should be easily broken."
"He's right."
The truth was, they weren't 100% confident. Therefore, their
voices lacked conviction.
This was because they knew clearly that spirit designs that
could create such a realistic world must have been created by
a really strong person.
Chapter 818: Double-layered Spirit Design
A total of nine people had entered this spirit design world.
Given Wu Yu's understanding of spirit designs, this was not an
alternate world, but a space fabricated by a spirit design. It
looked like a vast world, but in actuality, the space could not
be that huge.
Everything here - high mountains and flowing rivers, the sky
and clouds, the flowers and trees, the birds, beasts, and other
creatures - all were constructed by a spirit design. Down to the
last creepy crawly, everything was coded for in a design, and
ran in this huge and complex world.
Heaven and Earth Spirit Designs came in offensive and
defensive forms, but also in other forms, such as this one.
As for this spirit design, Wu Yu could not figure out what it did
at the moment.
This spirit design had considered many issues in the details,
that made one feel as though they had been transported to a
different world that was very real.
However, Wu Yu and the others soon unraveled this first layer.
They knew that this had to be the spirit design of the Ghostly
Yan tribe, and the Thunder Flame Army people knew as well.
Such a spirit design was quite scary, because the one who had
fashioned it was not only of a high cultivation level, but also
had a thorough understanding and mastery of spirit designs.
Ordinarily, only spirit design fanatics would pay attention to
such details, and the world before them was filled with life,
from the gentle breeze, to the trees, and the sea of flowers
that gently released their fragrance.
"What is this?" Wu Yu looked around warily, trying to
understand this strange spirit design. The seven had no way to
continue heckling Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan, but
grumbled and sniped at Wu Yu for luring them here. And then
they turned to the spirit design. At the same time, they also
attempted to use talismans similar to the Yan Huang Fire
Talisman, but all talismans had been nullified within this spirit
design, and they could not go out.
"This spirit design is like a spider's web. After it traps us, the
‘spider’ will know very soon. Such a spirit design probably
shouldn't trap you, right?" the Full Moon of Nanshan asked
tersely.
Wu Yu nodded. All he had to do was to fuse the Somersault
Cloud with his body and flip. He would definitely be able to get
out of the spirit design.
"That's good then. We're in damned good luck. At least one of
us can live on." The Full Moon of Nanshan had abandoned his
sloppy manner and gotten serious.
Wu Yu looked at him. In truth, it was useless if he could escape
but the Full Moon of Nanshan could not.
"Doesn't seem too great that we came together, but only one
is going back," Wu Yu stated mildly. At this time, he used the
Spirit Penetration Art. He had used it quite frequently recently,
so his Primordial Spirit was feeling the strain. However, this
was very important, and he had to use it. Only the Spirit
Penetration Art could allow him to clearly dissect this spirit
design, and think of a way to get free of it or unravel it.
After using the Spirit Penetration Art, a sliver of his Primordial
Spirit escaped this illusory world and saw the spirit design for
what it was. This was a dense and complex major spirit design
that had taken much time to fashion. Its operation was tightly
arranged, and was definitely not something that the Spirit
Penetration Art could unravel in a short time. For the Spirit
Penetration Art to be useful, Wu Yu had to understand the
logic behind the spirit design's sophisticated operation.
Otherwise, this sliver of Primordial Spirit would be like
attacking a flame with a moth.
Realizing the magnitude of the problem, he firstly continued
searching with the Spirit Penetration Art, while his real body
turned to the seven. At this time, they were also looking for a
way to unravel it. Mainly, it was the four guys who were
searching, while the three girls were cowering in fear as they
looked around.
Wu Yu said to them, "I can get out of here. Pass me a Yan
Huang Fire Talisman and a Message Talisman for your elders
or some other expert you know. Write what you need, and I
will pass it to them after I leave. Quickly now, the enemy is
almost upon us."
Wu Yu was being very nice to the rest of them
The Full Moon of Nanshan was very relieved. At least Wu Yu
could leave.
However, the Thunder Flame Army people were suspicious.
One guy said, "You can go out alone? Then why not destroy
the spirit design, and we can all go?"
Wu Yu said exasperatedly, "If I could do that, would I be here
wasting my breath on you lot? Quickly now. I still have to
return after I go out."
The Full Moon of Nanshan started. He had over-thought
things. Wu Yu was only leaving for a while. He was returning
to danger for himself....
"Why would you come back after going out?" the girl with the
superior attitude questioned disbelievingly.
And then she looked at the Full Moon of Nanshan and roughly
understood. So Wu Yu's follower was still here, and he was
willing to undertake the risk for this follower. She found it hard
to detest such a person, even though she found the Full Moon
of Nanshan's words absolutely repulsive.
"Take it." She thrust something into Wu Yu's hands, and they
all watched to see if he was just boasting.
"Somersault Cloud." Wu Yu called his Somersault Cloud and
then fused it with his body. One leap and he flipped through
the magma and the spirit design. When he landed, he was
outside the spirit design.
His Spirit Penetration Art was still analyzing the spirit design.
He immediately activated both Yan Huang Fire Talismans that
they had obtained, and Wu Yu also had three Message
Talismans sent to different people. Wu Yu used those as well.
After that, those inside could wait for the experts to save
them. The one who had fashioned the spirit design would
never anticipate that of the fish he had netted, there would be
someone like Wu Yu, who could slip through the holes of their
net.
Wu Yu turned back to inspect it. There had been no trace of
this spirit design at all, and ordinary people would be hard
pressed to find it. Outside of the spirit design, it was even
more difficult to unravel it. Therefore, he dived in again,
appearing amidst them before too long.
Seeing Wu Yu, the Thunder Flame Army members looked at
each other. If they could go out, they might not have returned.
"Nicely done." The Full Moon of Nanshan smiled, opening his
fan to fan himself. It would have been quite a touching scene,
if not for the fact that the fan was decorated with alluring
beauties who were all stark naked....

"Shameless!" Seeing this fan, the three beauties flushed red,

and the men also derided him.
Right now, the Message Talismans and Yan Huang Fire
Talismans had all been activated, and they could not unravel
this spirit design. There was nothing they could do but wait for
rescue.
However, Wu Yu was still analyzing the spirit design with his
Spirit Penetration Art. At this time, he had locked onto one
spirit design, which he discovered was not as simple as it
looked. Rather, it was two spirit designs fused together,
layered top to bottom. The upper spirit design inscribed the
details of the world, creating the world that Wu Yu currently
saw. As for the lower spirit design, it was covered in angry
crimson symbols, emblazoned in the image of a sea of fire that
curled everywhere. The spirit design here corresponded with
the one above. And the corresponding symbol was seen in the
sea of flowers! This meant that if this symbol was broken, the
sea of flowers in their view would disappear!
"The secret is in the sea of flowers!"
In other words, the fragrant sea of flowers beneath their feet
was actually the second spirit design.
Wu Yu had not thought this through before. A spirit design had
been used to create a fake world, but had not left any point of
attack. Besides keeping them here, he had not puzzled out
what else the spirit design did. So the creator had hidden the
real weapon underground!
This was high level, and Wu Yu was impressed!
Impressed as he may be, he still had to save them all. The key
was that he still did not understand what the sea of flowers
did!
Thinking thus, Wu Yu acted. The World of the Golden Eye burst
forth from his eyes, creating a sea of fire that Wu Yu
manipulated, burning on top of the sea of flowers!
"Wu Yu, what are you doing!?" They thought that Wu Yu was
attacking them. As they spoke, the blanket of fire landed on
the ground, leaving them unharmed.
However, their shrill questioning voices made Wu Yu glance
up at them. He was startled to notice the change. At the start,
their eyes were not this red, and one could see the veins of red
filling up, and their moods turning aggressive.
As Wu Yu scoured the sea of flowers with fire, a cloying
fragrance bloomed forth, turning into a mist that spread
quickly! Seeing this fragrant mist, Wu Yu now understood that
the lethality had always been present. It was the fragrance of
the flowers!
"There's poison in the fragrance!" Wu Yu immediately alerted
them. Before this, he had left for a short period of time, and
therefore was less affected by the fragrance. Now that he was
aware of it, he could detect a dizzying feeling. And he was also
negatively affected in his emotional state, becoming irritable,
violent, and reckless. In a serious state, he would be like the
Thunder Flame Army members currently were.
After Wu Yu warned them, he immediately ceased the World
of the Golden Eye. He had not expected that the World of the
Golden Eye would be unable to burn the flowers away, and
instead cause the flowers' scent to be spread even quicker.
Ordinary fragrances could be stopped just by blocking the
nose, but this immortal dao fragrance directly permeated
one's body and Primordial Spirit - it was unstoppable!
"Go!" Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan ran from the
effusing scent. The seven could roughly understand Wu Yu,
and were also retreating. However, they were moving slowly,
and still struggling. They had also already inhaled quite a lot of
the scent. Once they entered a berserk state and lost their
reason, they would be defenseless against this scent, and
would only grow more frenzied. As Wu Yu and the Full Moon
of Nanshan retreated to the other side, Wu Yu could see that
the eyes of the seven had already turned fully crimson.
They were like feral beasts.
This was the true power of the spirit design.
"Wu Yu, I feel like I can't hold on...." At this time, the Full Moon
of Nanshan's voice had grown heavy.
Chapter 819: Huge Scuffle
The Full Moon of Nanshan had remained in this place for a
relatively long time. The dual layers of spirit designs were
extremely powerful. It was especially so after Wu Yu set the
sea of flowers ablaze. In this process, the effects of the lower
layer of spirit design were accidentally fully triggered.
Wu Yu was starting to feel the effects that made one restless
and intoxicated. The aroma of the flowers had fused deeply
into their flesh and was even affecting their Primordial Spirits.
The resistances both of them had against the spirit design
were clearly a little better than the other seven. After all, Wu
Yu had the Invincible Vajra Body and the Full Moon of Nanshan
had a similar Immortality Art.
It was just that these spirit design traps were definitely
fashioned by an expert who was specialized in this. Therefore,
even the Full Moon of Nanshan was struggling against it
bitterly.
The crux was that Wu Yu couldn't really help him. This was
because his mental state was starting to get disrupted and
restless and violent emotions were building up in him. He was
annoyed by whoever he saw and wanted to kill them.
Therefore, his first priority was still to break himself from the
control of these spirit designs.
Wu Yu had two solutions.
The first was to visualize his inner ape. During the visualization,
he would be able to discard all distracting thoughts. There
would only be a sea of flames, and he would only see the
Unparalleled Monkey King in an armor suit and waving his Ruyi
Jingu Bang amidst the sea of golden flames. That was the Great
Sage, Heaven's Equal, and the inner ape of Wu Yu. At the same
time, it was an exemplification of Wu Yu himself! During this
moment, he would always be able to enter that state without
distractions. Even if he was haunted by some heart devil,
immersed in the illusions around him, or if there were huge
disturbances, nothing would possibly make his will waver!
Nonetheless, visualizing the inner ape wasn't the best
solution. The best was to use the Somersault Cloud.
The second option was to jump out. As long as Wu Yu left the
spirit design, he could recover to his pinnacle condition before
entering this cycle again. However, with preparations,
visualizing the inner ape would make it harder for the effects
of the spirit design to invade his body!
Therefore, Wu Yu experienced another cycle of leaving and re-
entering.
After making adjustments outside before entering, he felt
much better and had a clearer mind.
However, the conditions of others were wretched. The Full
Moon of Nanshan had bloodshot eyes currently and was
barely holding on. At this point, he gritted his teeth, lowered
his voice, and said to Wu Yu, "If you can get out, just get away!
Stop moving here and there before me. If there's any danger,
it's my problem. If I really die, you won't have to die with me."
He was getting violent due to the effects of the spirit design.
Wu Yu naturally knew that this wasn't what he really thought
about and therefore didn't take his comments to heart.
However, it was indeed a pressing issue to get the Full Moon
of Nanshan out of the imprisonment and incitement of the
spirit design.
If this went on, the Full Moon of Nanshan might even attack
Wu Yu.
However, before that could happen, the four guys and three
girls had now become puppets to the spirit design. Their eyes
were entirely red and they were controlled by their violent
tendencies. Every single one of them was extremely fidgety.
As Wu Yu was their common enemy, they soon turned their
eyes on him!
"If it wasn't for Wu Yu, we wouldn't be in this. This is all his
fault!"
"That's right. Only by killing him can the anger in me be
appeased!"
"Brothers, follow me and kill Wu Yu! Let's think of a way to get
out of this place after we kill him!"
"That's right. This is all his fault and he definitely deserves
death!" a girl shouted in a shrill voice.
They held a uniform opinion and had turned to stare at Wu Yu
with their bloodshot eyes. At this point, they could no longer
hold back. They retrieved their dao treasures and struck
decisively. When the seven of them charged ahead together,
it was a frightening scene to behold.
None of them was weak, and Wu Yu would have to expend
much effort to deal with each person, let alone seven at the
same time!
Wu Yu was chased around by them initially. Now that they
were in the world created by spirit designs, he had no option
but to retreat while pulling the Full Moon of Nanshan along.
He used his Somersault Cloud to wrap around the Full Moon
of Nanshan. The next instant, they fled a distance away, and
the Thunder Flame Army members had a hard time catching
up.
However, the issue was that the Full Moon of Nanshan was
getting really restless now. Wu Yu also had to constantly
visualize the inner ape to maintain a clear mind. In this
process, the Full Moon of Nanshan was knocked left and right
and gradually turned violent. At this point, he even wanted to
break free from Wu Yu's Somersault Cloud. He also glowered
at Wu Yu and demanded, "They are just a few pieces of trash
and yet they dare to make a move on us? I will send them to
hell! If you are afraid of death, you can run away. Stop
dragging me along and get lost!"
The lower layer of spirit design had fully incited the negative
emotions in their hearts. These emotions had completely
blinded them. Therefore, Wu Yu had to restrain the Full Moon
of Nanshan's negative emotions while avoiding the pursuit
from the seven.
"You are being affected by the spirit design and have lost your
rationality. Don't be blinded by your anger. Think about it
carefully. If you clash with them in this place, both sides will
suffer huge losses. In the end, the Ghostly Yan Tribe member
that fashioned this spirit design will be the only one that has
anything to gain!" Wu Yu was getting a little anxious as well.
When he shouted furiously at the Full Moon of Nanshan, his
eyes were bloodshot as well.
Staying in an environment like this, one that was created by a
spirit design, could easily frustrate a person.
However, he constantly verified that he was in the clearest
state. Moreover, he constantly visualized his inner ape to
prevent himself from being subjected to the control of the
other party.
"The Message Talismans have been sent out and I've triggered
the Yan Huang Fire Talismans. The reinforcements should be
coming soon!" Holding this belief in mind, Wu Yu persevered.
The seven of them were launching fatal blows along the way.
Their expressions had contorted from anger and they had lost
all rationality. All they could think of was killing. If Wu Yu
hadn’t been holding the Full Moon of Nanshan back, he would
have charged ahead and fought all-out with them.
Even so, Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan had numerous
conflicts. Wu Yu could tell that the Full Moon of Nanshan was
still restraining himself. Otherwise, he would likely have
disregarded Wu Yu, knocked him aside, or even attacked him
directly.
"This is getting problematic!" Wu Yu could sense that he was
losing himself. The main reason was because the Full Moon of
Nanshan was too hard to control in this state. His condition
would also affect Wu Yu and gradually cause him to enter a
state of constant rage.
Once he lost his rationality, or if he couldn't control the Full
Moon of Nanshan, the Full Moon of Nanshan would be in
grave danger first. This was because he would be besieged by
the seven, while Wu Yu would still be able to escape before
the real danger struck.

"Liang Sheng, Wan Er is the girl I like. Why do you talk to her
in secret on many occasions? Could it be that you want to
compete with me?"
Just as Wu Yu was feeling overwhelmed, an accident
happened. Among the seven, a conflict broke out between
two guys.
This showed that their disorientation had reached a deeper
state. At this point, they could no longer tell friends from
enemies.
Small conflicts that were accumulated over time could be the
trigger of a lethal clash in this place.
"Utter nonsense! Since when was Wan Er ever interested in
you? You? You can forget about competing with me! Let me
make this clear. Wan Er will definitely agree to be my dao
companion one day!"
"Fuck you! Just watch how I'll kill you! I'll kill everyone in your
family, and they will never have a resting site!"
Both of them grappled for a girl, and that girl was the lively
and cute girl from the three.
When both of them sank into their tangled fight, the other five
weren't just standing back. The truth was, their relationships
were complex. When the two men engaged in a mortal battle
for Wan Er, a clear disgust could be seen from the face of her.
She looked to the other guy, leaned over, grabbed his arm, and
said proudly, "I'm not interested in either of you. I like Big
Brother Qi. Big Brother Qi is younger than both of you. Both of
you are trash compared to him!"
"Big Brother Qi is mine, bitch! Don't you dare compete with
me for him!" All of a sudden, another girl was enraged. She
shrieked, waved her dao treasure, and charged towards Wan
Er.
At this point, two girls were fighting for a guy. The other three
guys were furious. Why was he able to get the hearts of two
girls?
All of a sudden, the seven of them were tangled in a battle of
love and hatred. They had gotten together initially because
they had someone they liked in the group. To their
astonishment, they had never imagined the person they liked
was interested in another person. There weren't any that had
mutual feelings. As a result, all of them had targets of hatred
and a scuffle broke out between the seven of them.
One would definitely agree that this was a shocking
development. Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan were
dumbfounded. At the moment, they had shaken off the
danger. It was just that none of the seven were holding back
in their fights. If this went on, there would likely be casualties.
Wu Yu had no other solution and simply stood at the side,
watching the show. At this point, the Full Moon of Nanshan
was incited. He let out a deafening roar and charged past Wu
Yu and into the scuffle!
"All the girls are mine! Bastards! None of you can even think
of competing with me. I'll cripple all four of you today!"
His targets were the four guys from the Thunder Flame Army.
The Full Moon of Nanshan was undoubtedly one-of-a-kind. At
this stage, he still couldn't let go of his desire for beauties!
Wu Yu was left behind and was the only one maintaining his
composure.
He was forced to enter the battle now. This was because
although the seven weren't targeting the Full Moon of
Nanshan in particular, the Full Moon of Nanshan was the
common target of ire. As a result, he would be in greater
pressure and would have to take attacks from two or more
people at all times.
Wu Yu summoned the Skeletal Flame Dragon from the
Floating Dreams Pagoda and his Heaven Devouring Avatar. As
for him, he remained outside to wait for the arrival of
reinforcements while helping the Full Moon of Nanshan
neutralize some attacks.
Chapter 820: Ghostly Artificer
Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar had just grown stronger.
Combined with his real body, he could marginally withstand
the attacks of a 10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation
cultivator. With the addition of the Skeletal Flame Dragon, he
could probably hold out against the attacks of two 10th tier
Primordial Spirit Transformation cultivators.
The Full Moon of Nanshan was targeting all the guys, and he
left the girls alone. Sometimes, when the girls attacked him,
he did not care about them, and Wu Yu had to block them for
him.
Most of the time, although the scene was chaotic, it was not a
problem with Wu Yu defending the Full Moon of Nanshan with
a clear mind.
"You wouldn't be in love with this pig, would you?" Ming Long
asked strangely.
"Damn your ass. I would even fall in love with you before I fell
in love with him," Wu Yu snapped back. Wu Yu himself had not
thought that he would end up as a nanny to this pig.
As he thought about it, he decided that it had to be fate. He
had gained Marshal Tian Peng's legacy, and Wu Yu felt a
kinship with him. It was as though the Great Sage, Heaven's
Equal himself wanted Wu Yu to help this pig out.
"Tch, this girl wouldn't fancy you, though," Ming Long said
haughtily.
While Wu Yu was babysitting the Full Moon of Nanshan so he
wouldn't get killed, he occasionally saw the seven about to be
killed, and he would intervene as well, to prevent a death.
After all, he was involved in this now. If someone died, he
would be in trouble.
He was currently in the Yan Huang Ancient Country, and the
Thunder Flame Army were nominally his people as well.
Within the spirit design, their true enemy was the Ghostly Yan
Tribe.
"Why isn't rescue here yet? The Yan Huang Fire Talisman was
already ignited, and the Message Talismans were sent out as
well. There should be some response after so long. Could they
be unable to break this spirit design?"
While Wu Yu was worrying over their lives, he was also fretting
about what was happening outside.
He was currently using Visualizing the Inner Ape, which was
gradually getting used to the effects of this spirit design. He
had a natural advantage in controlling his emotions. Because
his dao was originally born of similar emotions, his rage came
from within, and was not influenced by external factors. He,
better than anyone else, understood such wild rage.
"No matter what, these people are at least not dead, although
they are injured." Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar and
Skeletal Flame Dragon, alongside his real body, weaved
through the melee. Prioritizing the safety of the Full Moon of
Nanshan, he also took care of the Thunder Flame Army people
who were in critical danger. Time passed.
Suddenly, Wu Yu felt a sense of danger. He could sense that
something had happened that had alerted the creator of this
spirit design that he was not within his control. Therefore, he
could sense a change. Some new threat, or perhaps the
creator himself was coming to the spirit design!
Wu Yu's guess was right. Just as he sensed danger, a black qi
formed in the space near the battlefield, coalescing in the form
of a person. This was the creator of the spirit design. If Wu Yu
and the others were in the metaphorical spider web, then this
person was the spider waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire and Gold saw him clearly. He had not
expected this person to be so squat. He was perhaps only the
height of a 10-year-old kid. He was fat, and an oversized head
rested on top of his stubby neck. His thick lips and round eyes
made him look like an infant with a big head. However, from
the wrinkles on his skin and his greying hair, this person was
clearly not young. He had been cultivating for at least 300
years, and belonged to some ancestor's generation.
It was completely reasonable that someone cultivating for so
long, and able to create such a spirit design, would be at the
Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm.
He had come even before the Yan Huang Ancient Country had
sent any assistance. Right now, this person was an extreme
threat. His round eyes surveyed them chillingly!
Wu Yu was not afraid. The key was that the Full Moon of
Nanshan could not escape, so he had to stay.
Wu Yu was very nervous, but he had no other ideas besides to
delay for time.
"And who is this gentleman? To be able to create such a
superior spirit design, you must be an esteemed person within
the Ghostly Yan Tribe. A person such as yourself should be
enjoying life in the deepest parts of the Infernal Inferno. Why
would you be risking your life here?"
The squat, fat, big-headed, infant-elder looked at Wu Yu and
guffawed. "This old father has nothing to hide. I am the
Ghostly Artificer. You little brats probably don't know me, but
your ancestors have definitely heard of this old father's great
name!"
Ghostly Artificer?
This was evidently not his real name, but a title he had
probably given himself. Anyone who dared to give himself
such a title had to be very confident in his own spirit designs.
"It’s quite a feat to be able to resist my spirit design and not
be affected. It means that you have something special about
you. That's quite something. Besides, I also noticed that you
can escape my spirit design. Outstanding. But a pity that your
friend seems incapable of doing the same, and so you must
remain." Saying thus, he looked at the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Perhaps he knew that even though Wu Yu was within the spirit
design world under his control, his speed was beyond his own.
After all, his current spirit design's greatest effect was to cause
the people here to be intoxicated with violent impulses and
lose their sense of self. It was not to strengthen his own
powers over this world. That was not helpful for his trap.
Wu Yu looked at him with extreme wariness. He knew that this
person had some reason for appearing.
"Ghostly Artificer, I advise you to release us quickly. These
people are all highly placed in the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
If anything happens to them, you will not be able to escape
the consequences."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to test that." At this time, his pudgy
arm pulled out something very unsettling from his person. It
was an onyx-colored chain coiled multiple times around his
body. Wu Yu had not examined it closely at first, but now he
saw that it was made up of human skull figurines. However,
the skulls were very small, perhaps only the size of thumbnails.
This chain probably had 100 skulls.
Although only the size of thumbnails, but Wu Yu could confirm
that they were human skulls, albeit a bit shrunken down.
Also, these skulls had been transformed into a dao treasure,
and one at the advanced dao treasure level. It looked very
ancient. Although the Ghostly Artificer probably could not
make this advanced dao treasure, he was still able to wield it.
Like Ye Ying, he had to be recognized by the advanced dao
treasure.
A ghostly cultivator's advanced dao treasure had to be
constantly fed with evil.
Right now, he took down this chain of skulls from his body. The
skulls seemed to come to life, like a giant snake, and curled
around his body. He grasped one end and smiled evilly at Wu
Yu. Suddenly, the advanced dao treasure twisted towards Wu
Yu!
Wu Yu had been expecting an attack. Right now, the Ghostly
Artificer was in absolute power here, and probably cared
about no one.
As his opponent attacked, Wu Yu firstly pulled back the
Skeletal Flame Dragon, and also had his avatar stay near. The
Full Moon of Nanshan was currently embroiled in the melee,
and could not be pulled out for the moment.
As his opponent attacked him, Wu Yu swiftly surrounded
himself and his Heaven Devouring Avatar with the Somersault
Cloud, and backed away rapidly. He had been prepared, and
executed this smoothly, escaping from his opponent's attack
radius. Far away at a safe distance, he thought his opponent
would chase him, and he had been prepared to engage in
battle.
At least he wanted to lure this person away. After that, the Full
Moon of Nanshan's fate would be up to himself.
Now was the time to fight!
However, Wu Yu did not expect that as he dodged, his
opponent's advanced dao treasure of skulls would lash out
towards the Full Moon of Nanshan. The Full Moon of Nanshan
was still happily fighting the seven, his eyes red as he
abandoned all self-preservation. He was unprepared for such
an expert to attack him. Therefore, the Ghostly Artificer
casually trussed the Full Moon of Nanshan up in his advanced
dao treasure.
The eyes on the skulls lit up and black smoke issued from their
mouths. It shrouded the Full Moon of Nanshan and then
changed into a huge skull that locked the Full Moon of
Nanshan within. From inside the skull, the Full Moon of
Nanshan howled. Evidently, this dao treasure was horrifyingly
strong. He continued to struggle and bellow, battering the
advanced dao treasure. The skulls rattled, but they seemed
unaffected.
Wu Yu had just evaded him when Ming Long hurriedly
informed him, "Your pig's been caught!" Wu Yu turned and
saw that the Full Moon of Nanshan was indeed in agony. Wu
Yu was consumed with rage. He could only return at speed to
the Ghostly Artificer. Seeing him imprison the Full Moon of
Nanshan but have no immediate intention of killing him, Wu
Yu calmed down a little and asked severelym "What do you
want? What will it take to let the two of us go?"
He knew that it would be impossible to get this guy to release
the other seven as well. Right now, he could only discuss the
release of himself and the Full Moon of Nanshan. And he might
not even have that chance.
Mainly the Full Moon of Nanshan, because Wu Yu could leave
at any time.
His opponent had seen through this. Therefore, he had feinted
towards Wu Yu, while aiming to capture the Full Moon of
Nanshan.
The Ghostly Artificer was not at all shy. Waving his advanced
dao treasure, he said lazily, "I saw a puppet of yours just now.
It's amazing. I'm someone who loves spirit designs, more so
than life itself. Give me the puppet, and I will let the two of
you go."
He was referring to the Skeletal Flame Dragon.
After all, he did not know that the two had immortals' legacies.
The most striking thing was the Skeletal Flame Dragon and its
spirit designs.
Chapter 821: Dead Man
Wu Yu had used the Skeletal Flame Dragon to help several
people previously. This guy had probably seen everything
clearly while hiding in the dark.
Truth be told, the technique and dao arts involved in creating
a 10th tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm puppet
were extremely valuable, and owning one way above hiring a
martial cultivator of the same cultivation level as an assistant.
The Ghostly Artificer wanted the Skeletal Flame Dragon. For
him, the most important reason wasn't because the Skeletal
Flame Dragon could possibly help him eliminate some
opponents. Instead, he was more interested in the spirit
designs of the Skeletal Flame Dragon.
He wanted to master a puppet spirit design like this. If he could
do so and had sufficient materials, he could create a Skeletal
Flame Dragon army.
He had used the life of the Full Moon of Nanshan to threaten
Wu Yu. He knew Wu Yu would definitely give in, even though
the Skeletal Flame Dragon had great importance to him.
"The Skeletal Flame Dragon belongs to the Floating Dreams
Pagoda and is, in fact, part of the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
Once it breaks free from the Floating Dreams Pagoda or is
taken away by others, it will lose its effects soon after. Even if
he took it away, he wouldn't be able to use it."
Wu Yu's mind was moving fast.
However, he knew that the Ghostly Artificer would definitely
not believe him even if he told the truth to him. Moreover, Wu
Yu couldn't possibly divulge the secrets of the Floating Dreams
Pagoda.
Looking at the advanced dao treasure of the Ghostly Artificer
that was made of bones, the Full Moon of Nanshan was
imprisoned within it right now. Although he still had the
strength to struggle, it wasn't hard to tell that he was getting
weaker.
Even though he had an immortal's legacy, it didn't mean he
wouldn't die. If this went on, he would be in a perilous state.
"I believe I have given you sufficient time to think about it!"
The Ghostly Artificer had his eyes affixed on Wu Yu and clearly
sounded a little impatient.
Wu Yu had gone outside in the middle of this and he was likely
aware that Wu Yu had informed others about the situation
here.
After speaking, his spiritual power channeled into the
advanced dao treasure.
The spirit designs on the advanced dao treasure circulated
faster. With the addition of more spirit designs, the effects
were greater and the destructive forces attacking the Full
Moon of Nanshan were definitely stronger. Within the illusory
darkness in the skull, the Full Moon of Nanshan struggled
more tragically.
He didn't leave Wu Yu with any opportunity to hesitate
further.
"Stop. I agree. I can give you the puppet!"
Although the Skeletal Flame Dragon was important to Wu Yu,
it still couldn't compare with the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Therefore, when the other party pushed him to a corner, he
didn't hesitate further.
If it weren't for the Full Moon of Nanshan, he would have left
this place already.
"Great!" The Ghostly Artificer was satisfied and finally
weakened the effect of the advanced dao treasure.
Nonetheless, the Full Moon of Nanshan was still completely
immobilized and couldn't move at all.
He looked at Wu Yu and said, "Since you agreed, don't waste
my time. Hurry up!"
"I can give you the Skeletal Flame Dragon, but you have to
release him too!"
"Rest assured. I, the Ghostly Artificer, will walk my talk. I just
want that puppet and have no intention to be tangled here
with you guys. Let's all be more decisive in this!"
He was getting a little impatient.
Wu Yu gritted his teeth and was seething with killing intent
towards this guy. However, the Full Moon of Nanshan was
under the other party's control and he was weaker than this
old man. Therefore, he could only summon the Skeletal Flame
Dragon from the Floating Dreams Pagoda. After which, he
instructed it to charge towards the Ghostly Artificer while
retaining control over it.
In the blink of an eye, the Skeletal Flame Dragon arrived before
him.
"Release him!" Wu Yu berated.
Seeing the Skeletal Flame Dragon right before him, the Ghostly
Artificer grinned. He reached his hand out and shook
However, Wu Yu didn't see any signs that he was about to let
the Full Moon of Nanshan off.
What he wanted was probably to use his advanced dao
treasure to imprison both the Full Moon of Nanshan and the
Skeletal Flame Dragon!
Wu Yu had never expected the old man to be even more
despicable than he had imagined.
He wanted to deceive Wu Yu while having the best of both
worlds. Or rather, he wanted more from Wu Yu.
Wu Yu obviously wouldn't let him get his way. The Skeletal
Flame Dragon was still under the control of the Floating
Dreams Pagoda right now. He manipulated the Floating
Dreams Pagoda to withdraw the Skeletal Flame Dragon
immediately.
When the Floating Dreams Pagoda received Wu Yu's
instruction, the Skeletal Flame Dragon shrank instantly and
escaped from the chains of the other party. In the end, it
retracted back to Wu Yu and into the Floating Dreams Pagoda
within his sleeve.
This trade had failed due to the other party breaking the rules
first. However, Wu Yu didn't allow the plot of the other party
to materialize!
Nonetheless, he was still in a predicament. Considering the
circumstances, saving the Full Moon of Nanshan had become
even more daunting.
Wu Yu was speechless regarding the Ghostly Artificer's actions
and could no longer trust him!
"YOU!" When the Skeletal Flame Dragon was retracted by Wu
Yu, the Ghostly Artificer was infuriated.
"You went back on your word first! You can't blame others for
it! I'm willing to trade something so precious for my friend's
life. Blame it on your insatiable greed! How do you expect me
to trust you again now?"
"Forget it. You're good! Give me the Skeletal Flame Dragon
and I will definitely return him to you." Regardless of how
angry the Ghostly Artificer might be, he had no option but to
lower his head after failing to secure the Skeletal Flame
Dragon.
Clearly, no one would trust his words now.
Wu Yu looked at him coldly and remarked, "Why don't you tell
me your real objective. Other than the Skeletal Flame Dragon,
what else do you want?"
If it was just about handing the Skeletal Flame Dragon to him,
it would likely end up the same way regardless of the number
of times this repeated. He could tell that the other party
wanted more from him and wouldn't just limit himself to one
thing!
"Just speak your mind." It was beneficial to Wu Yu to buy time
before. However, Wu Yu was worried about how much longer
the Full Moon of Nanshan could endure. Therefore, he wanted
to end this swiftly.
Moreover, on the other end, the battle between the seven had
intensified and reached a critical stage. Without Wu Yu's
intervention, one could see that some were just hanging on a
thread.
They were no different from having one foot in hell. Under the
huge influence of the spirit design made by the Ghostly
Artificer, they weren't going about jokingly, but were having a
real mortal battle!
The Ghostly Artificer smiled with ill intention upon seeing Wu
Yu being upfront. "Since you are intelligent, simple, decisive,
and direct, I shall not toy with you further. Truth be told,
compared to him, I value your life more. This man should be a
great brother of yours. It's really touching that you are willing
to remain here for him. It isn't hard for him to leave as long as
you take his place and trade a life for a life. In other words, I
have no interest in him. All I want is everything on you!"
This was the true objective of the Ghostly Artificer.
Watching Wu Yu stopping others and the capabilities he had
displayed in the scuffle, together with the fact he could
maintain a clear mind within the spirit design, Wu Yu had
deeply attracted the Ghostly Artificer. Moreover, the Ghostly
Artificer had seen him using a dao treasure like the Dark North
Royal Obelisk before.
His conditions didn't surprise Wu Yu at all.
However, this was a condition that he couldn't agree to.
It wasn't practical for him to trade his life for the Full Moon of
Nanshan's life. Their relationship had not reached the extent
where he would be willing to give up his life. Nonetheless, he
couldn't just watch Full Moon of Nanshan die.
From Wu Yu's perspective, if the other party was willing to let
the Full Moon of Nanshan off, he still might not be able to kill
him and obtain what was on him. Therefore, he was still open
to taking the risk and challenge.
Nonetheless, an old man with three or four hundred years of
cultivation had likely seen many tricks in their lifetime. Wu Yu
was just afraid that the Ghostly Artificer had thought of
everything he was thinking.
"I know this is hard to accept for you. I'm willing to give you
time to consider," said the Ghostly Artificer with a grin. All of
a sudden, he didn't seem to be worried about the passage of
time.
"It's better for me to just buy more time now that he has
demanded something directly. If rescue arrives, everything
will be settled," Wu Yu thought to himself.
It was logical to think that the other party would allow Wu Yu
to buy some time for raising this demand.
However, when Wu Yu was pondering the next course of
action, an accident happened.
The accident came from the scuffle between the seven.
Through an intense period of battle, one guy was first severely
injured and subsequently killed on the spot, his soul
dissipating. His corpse fell towards a deep valley below them
and eventually into a chilling pond!
Someone died!
When the rescue eventually arrived, they would likely be even
more furious.
After all, it was no longer a small matter once someone died.
Moreover, the one who died was a future pillar of the Yan
Huang Ancient Country and was the son of someone great
within the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
When the guy died, the remaining six were unperturbed. They
were still quarrelling before engaging in battle once again. At
certain points in time, one person might be under attack from
several people.
Although the three girls were slightly weaker, the remaining
three guys had no intention to attack them from the bottom
of their minds. Secretly, they hated the other guys and
therefore the killings and curses were still largely on them.
This was also the reason why the first to die in battle was a
man.
Someone died and left his corpse.
When Wu Yu saw the corpse falling, a tinge of desire appeared
in his eyes. That was from the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
When one died, one's physical body would eventually
decompose. All the Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy would
dissipate within the heavens and earth and the Primordial
Spirit would vanish.
"If I leave him here, he will be refined into a corpse puppet and
never have a day of rest. In that case, he would better serve to
help me take a step forward."
After obtaining the Heaven Devouring Avatar, Wu Yu had been
pondering a question. That was, what was the difference
between him and the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord?
This was indeed a difficult question to understand.
He had devoured demons and the Ghostly Yan Tribe member.
In that case, why couldn't he devour other martial cultivators
whom he didn't see eye to eye with?
Moreover, this martial cultivator had not died because of him.
And his corpse would just decompose and be assimilated into
the heavens and earth.
Chapter 822: Complete Annihilation
Perhaps Wu Yu hadn't noticed that his thought process had
changed a little after obtaining the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
His dao was also changing. This isn't to say it was changing for
the worse. After all, he had his own insistence. One could only
say this was for making some corrections for the sake of his
two bodies. He was raising the standing of his Heaven
Devouring Avatar and making it truly part of himself. The
primary-secondary relationship between them was still really
fragile.
Even if the main body was killed, Wu Yu could still continue
living in the Jambu Realm as though it was a complete him
through relying on the Heaven Devouring Avatar.
He was under special circumstances now. Rescue had not
arrived, the Full Moon of Nanshan was in critical danger, and
the remaining six were treading along the boundaries of life
and death. Wu Yu wasn't a stubborn person. There were
various daos in this world, and no one could clearly state which
path was the right one. When he obtained the Heaven
Devouring Avatar, he recognized his devouring ability and
firmly believed that he was different from the Heaven
Devouring Evil Lord in certain aspects.
Therefore, Wu Yu had made his decision.
When his opponent gave him time to consider if he was willing
to trade the Full Moon of Nanshan's life for his, the Heaven
Devouring Avatar on him had secretly left him in the form of a
ball of mist. The Heaven Devouring Avatar landed in the forest
below Wu Yu. Perhaps the Ghostly Artificer had seen it, but
this didn't matter. His attention was still focused on Wu Yu’s
main body. It was difficult to sense that the Heaven Devouring
Avatar could grow stronger through devouring. And the
Ghostly Artificer had no idea of the level of strength that the
Heaven Devouring Avatar had.
Silently, the Heaven Devouring Avatar secretly approached
the martial cultivator that was killed by his companions. The
flesh and body of the martial cultivator was like an exquisite
delicacy placed right before the eyes of the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
"It's about time, how is your consideration going?" The
Ghostly Artificer tilted his head and smiled faintly at Wu Yu.
Just as he was talking, the battle between the six had a huge
development once again. Another guy lost his life in the
intense battle while under the siege of several people.
Yet, the rescue had still not arrived. Wu Yu vaguely understood
that something along the way might have failed. It had been a
long time since he released the Message Talismans. Logically
speaking, even if it was just the Yan Huang Fire Talisman,
rescue should have arrived. Even if they couldn't break the
spirit design, they should be able to enter it.
With the second person dead, the Ghostly Artificer was still
not in a rush and was just looking at Wu Yu with a faint smile.
At this point, he seemed to have caught up with what Wu Yu
was thinking. He said, "Don't be silly. I know what you are
waiting for. I'm aware that you released two Message
Talismans when you got out earlier. However, what you might
not know is that beyond these spirit designs, there is a
Talisman Restricting Spirit Design that covers a greater area.
Therefore, your Message Talismans never got out, so no one
will be arriving to rescue you guys. With that spirit design, we
have finished a great number of your kind over these years.
The only shame is that you guys might not be aware that these
are all the actions of mine. Haha!"
Having said that, he let out a burst of unbridled laughter. He
probably hadn't mentioned it in fear that Wu Yu would flee
further out to release his Yan Huang Fire Talisman or Message
Talismans. He had control over the Full Moon of Nanshan's life
right now. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of talking about it. This
could also make Wu Yu disappointed and force him to make
up his mind more swiftly.
This was also the reason why he wasn't in a hurry.
Right now, only Wu Yu had the capacity to think. As for the
remaining five, they were caught up in a frenzied fight and
seemed likely to all perish eventually.
Wu Yu had never expected him to have fashioned another
spirit design further beyond. He had to admit that the other
party was indeed standing at the pinnacle in terms of spirit
designs.
This gave Wu Yu a greater challenge!
Devouring the physical bodies of martial cultivators had now
become Wu Yu's last resort.
Without the hope of rescue, this matter wouldn't have any
twists. If he wished to rescue the Full Moon of Nanshan, he
could only rely on himself.
Therefore, at this point, he no longer had a reason to hesitate.
Naturally, his thoughts were clear and he had a righteous dao.
He wouldn't have to bear any psychological burden for this
incident.
As for the Ghostly Artificer, he was constantly trying to pile
pressure on Wu Yu mentally.
"I'm asking you for the very last time. Are you done with your
consideration? If you are willing, let me imprison you with this
advanced dao treasure of mine. At that time, I will send this
guy out instantly and allow him to flee!" The Ghostly Artificer
was still trying to guide Wu Yu along his plans.
Regardless, he had a prior record of not keeping his end of the
promise. Even if Wu Yu agreed to exchange his life for the Full
Moon of Nanshan's, he wouldn't trust that the Ghostly
Artificer would let the Full Moon of Nanshan off. Perhaps his
final objective was to imprison both the Full Moon of Nanshan
and him. As for those remaining, they would definitely be
killed.
Wu Yu himself knew that trading his life for the Full Moon of
Nanshan’s wouldn't materialize as envisioned.
What he had not expected was within this short period, the
battle between those from the Thunder Flame Army had
reached the tipping point. Perhaps it was because of the
killings previously and how all of them had suffered grave
injuries. At this point, they were desperate to see red and
regarded all others as their mortal nemesis. The spirit design
of the Ghostly Artificer had finally shown its dreadful effects
fully. The violence in their hearts was triggered bit by bit
through the battle and had now erupted uncontrollably. All of
a sudden, regardless of gender, one fell after another in battle.
Blood was scattered and the chilling pond below them was
dyed red. The girl standing at the end was also on the brink of
death and huffing hard. However, she wasn't stopping. When
she no longer saw any enemies within her sight, she noticed
the Ghostly Artificer and Wu Yu instantly. At this point, she
was drenched in blood. Her eyes were red, and after a dreadful
scream, she charged towards the Ghostly Artificer with her
dao treasure. The Ghostly Artificer chuckled and threw out a
dagger with a flick of his hand. The next moment, the dagger
pierced through the space between the girl's eyebrows and
ended her life.
At this point, all seven from the Thunder Flame Army had died
in battle after their anger was triggered by the spirit design. If
the Full Moon of Nanshan wasn't restricted by the other party,
he would likely have lost his life as well.
These people came from exceptional backgrounds. Every
single one of them had respectable standings and parents who
were extremely strong. At the very least, they would be
provincial lords. Now that they had all died in battle in this
place, there would definitely be a huge commotion caused
when the news got out!

"There are lots of treasures on the seven of them, right? Is

your clone trying to take their treasures along? Could it be you
are thinking of discarding your friend here and escaping alone
with those treasures?" The Ghostly Artificer stared at Wu Yu
malevolently.
The main effect of his spirit design was to create a world where
one's restlessness and violent tendencies could be incited.
However, this world wasn't under his control. Therefore, he
had no idea what was happening in the chilling pond below
him.
At that place, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was still
strengthening.
Although the Ghostly Artificer wasn't in a hurry, he would
want to finish off Wu Yu as soon as possible to tie up loose
ends.
Therefore, when he saw the seven from the Thunder Flame
Army losing their lives one after another, he placed all his
attention on Wu Yu.
What Wu Yu didn't know was that the Ghostly Artificer had to
constantly provide Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy to the
spirit design to ensure that the seven would still be in a chaotic
state of mind. The exhaustion was huge. Now that the motley
crew was finished off, he could finally deal with Wu Yu with all
he had.
"I'll give you a final span of 10 breaths of time to consider. If
you don't give me an answer, don't blame me for sending this
demon on the same path as those seven! I’m really not
interested in killing him. However, don't hesitate further and
force me to make a move!"
This was his final warning. After speaking, he started counting
down from 10. Every time he took a breath, he would reduce
the number by one. In such cases, time wasn't really on Wu
Yu's side.
"10!"
"Nine!"
At this point, Wu Yu's heart was racing.
Wu Yu's main body didn't move an inch. All he did was frown
and stare at the Ghostly Artificer intensely.
Near the chilling pond, the black mist was circling constantly
as it sucked the corpses of those from the Thunder Flame
Army within the range of devouring. The Heaven Devouring
Avatar was strengthening constantly and challenging its limit.
The seven martial cultivators were hugely different from the
demons that Wu Yu had devoured previously. This was
because their Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy was scorching
and righteous. Previously, as his Heaven Devouring Avatar had
strengthened largely in the Dark North Kingdom, the body
composition was inclined towards the cold. With the seven
martial cultivators now, it was developing towards a balance.
To put it simply, it was having a more balanced meal....
The effects caused by the balance were huge. During the
process where the Ghostly Artificer was counting down from
10 to one, the Heaven Devouring Avatar was rapidly
devouring, converting, consolidating, and strengthening. This
didn't take long - it happened in the blink of an eye. The
strength of his body, if measured in terms of Primordial Spirit,
was likely beyond the ninth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm and barely reaching the level of the
10th tier. Compared to the Primordial Spirit of the main body,
it was just a little stronger.
Back when the Primordial Spirit of Wu Yu's main body was
equivalent to the eighth tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm, the Heaven Devouring Avatar had
already reached the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit
Transformation Realm. Therefore, although it was a little
uncomfortable for the secondary Primordial Spirit to be just a
little stronger, Wu Yu was still in control.
Together with a dao treasure like the Dark North Royal
Obelisk, he would say that his Heaven Devouring Avatar had
never reached this level of strength.
This was the only weapon Wu Yu could possibly use to go
against the Ghostly Artificer right now!
Chapter 823: Ghostly Artificer's Battle Techniques
"Three!"
Between thoughts, the Ghostly Artificer had counted to three
and Wu Yu had just three breaths of time left. He was already
being gracious to Wu Yu by deliberately counting slower.
"Two!" At this point, he raised his voice. His eyes were icy like
the glow of a sword and affixed on Wu Yu.
Huge pressure piled on Wu Yu, and he had started injecting
Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy into the advanced dao
treasure in his hand.
"The name of this advanced dao treasure is Ancient Soul
Dreamlocker. It could let your friend die in a nightmare. Even
when he's dead, the nightmare will be etched on him for
eternity. Even if he is reincarnated, the nightmare will still
follow him and never be erased. Don't you think a punishment
like this is frightening?"
He didn't count to the final number. Instead, he shook the
Ancient Soul Dreamlocker and gave Wu Yu a creepy smile.
He could strike at any moment now.
"Alright, I agree." The moment the other party was just about
to strike, Wu Yu interrupted him with his response. A smile
appeared across the face of the Ghostly Artificer instantly.
"Great. I'm satisfied that you still trust me. In that case, let's
do the exchange concurrently. The moment I have you under
my control, I will release him."
The Full Moon of Nanshan was his bargaining chip. If this
weren't the case, he would be worried that Wu Yu might flee
at any time.
"I have always been honest in my actions. Since I have agreed,
I won't resort to tricks or demand for more. On the other hand,
if you go back on your word this time, I'll never trust you again
if I ever get the opportunity to escape." As Wu Yu spoke, he
approached his opponent. At this point, the Ghostly Artificer
had stopped torturing the Full Moon of Nanshan. He put on a
vibrant smile, nodded, and said, "Rest assured! I definitely
won't disappoint you this time!"
The most heart-racing moment had arrived. The Full Moon of
Nanshan seemed to have heard the conversation outside.
Perhaps he had recovered some consciousness. At this point,
he was struggling in the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker, resulting in
clear banging noises. As for what he was screaming, the
Ghostly Artificer obviously wouldn't let Wu Yu know.
Everyone held their breath!
Soon, Wu Yu stood before the Ghostly Artificer and waited for
the Ghostly Artificer to take control of him with the Ancient
Soul Dreamlocker.
"I'm really impressed by your willingness to sacrifice yourself
for your brother. If it were me, I will never be able to do so.
Considering this, I'll let you have a respectable death!" The
Ghostly Artificer put his smile away and turned stern. Without
saying a word, he controlled the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker. A
segment extended out from the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker and
reached towards Wu Yu. What Wu Yu could see was that when
that segment approached him, the other segment holding the
Full Moon of Nanshan loosened a little. This was a display of
the Ghostly Artificer's sincerity.
At this point, every breath and every moment was jittery. Wu
Yu felt as though his heart was at the top of a raging wave. In
life, there would be few occasions where he would have to risk
everything, like today. At this point, he couldn't afford to make
any mistakes!
"Huff!"
Wu Yu felt like the passage of time had slowed dramatically, a
little like when he was in the Floating Dreams Pagoda. This was
because his focus was raised to an extreme level and he had
diverted the focus solely on the approaching Ancient Soul
Dreamlocker and the segment that was loosening the grip
over the Full Moon of Nanshan. The Ghostly Artificer was
worried Wu Yu would get away and thus did everything
according to his promise. While imprisoning Wu Yu, he was
releasing the Full Moon of Nanshan.
The same moment he gained control of Wu Yu, he would also
send the Full Moon of Nanshan out of the spirit design
personally. If he were to do so before the perfect moment, Wu
Yu might have a chance of escaping from this spirit design!
Releasing and gaining control should be at the same instant.
And now, they were extremely close to that moment. Wu Yu
could see the Full Moon of Nanshan breaking free. The Ancient
Soul Dreamlocker was starting to lose control over him and he
was about to charge out from it.
His injuries weren't severe and Wu Yu was content to see this.
However, he probably felt bad about Wu Yu's actions.
Therefore, he was still struggling with all his might.
Before this, his relationship with Wu Yu was still rather plain.
However, this was the first time in his life he had experienced
such intense feelings.
Just as the critical moment was about to arrive, both Wu Yu
and the Full Moon of Nanshan had likely held their breath.
That Ancient Soul Dreamlocker had gone several rounds
around Wu Yu. When it tightened around him, it would also
mean that Wu Yu was imprisoned. At that time, he would even
find doing a somersault extremely difficult.
The Full Moon of Nanshan now had complete freedom and
had basically climbed out of the place. From his tone, Wu Yu
could vaguely tell that he was furious, and the rage was
targeted at the Ghostly Artificer.
"NO!" The Full Moon of Nanshan's angry roar came from the
advanced dao treasure.
A deafening roar!
At this very moment, the Ghostly Artificer was surprised. He
was prepared to tighten the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker. All he
needed was a single instant and he would have been
successful.
Obviously, he had to act to release the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Below the Full Moon of Nanshan, an opening of the spirit
design had appeared and one could see tumbling magma
below it!
At this moment, the Ghostly Artificer had all his attention on
the Full Moon of Nanshan and Wu Yu. For him, this was a
gamble as well. The key for him was to capture Wu Yu, who
was like a mudskipper. This was because he was likely testing
his luck. Now that the Full Moon of Nanshan was injured, as
long as he could capture Wu Yu, he didn't believe the Full
Moon of Nanshan could escape from him.
From the beginning, controlling the Full Moon of Nanshan was
the equivalent of controlling victory!

He carefully observed Wu Yu's expression and actions as they

were crucial to his victory.
He was only afraid that Wu Yu would disregard the Full Moon
of Nanshan's life and flee on his own.
At this juncture and the moment he was about to tighten the
Ancient Soul Dreamlocker, something else happened in a
place he hadn't paid attention to.
A ball of black mist had gradually risen to a short distance
behind him. At that instant, that ball of black mist morphed
into the white-haired, red-eyed Wu Yu. After which, from the
Sumeru Pouch with him, he retrieved the Dark North Royal
Obelisk. All of this had happened silently while the Ghostly
Artificer had all his attention on Wu Yu and the Full Moon of
Nanshan. He had almost forgotten about Wu Yu's clone. When
the Heaven Devouring Avatar appeared, he was well hidden,
and even the Full Moon of Nanshan had not noticed him!
"Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk!"
When the Heaven Devouring Avatar struck, he struck with a
catastrophic attack. His attack was launched out of the blue,
leaving not much reaction time for the Ghostly Artificer!
And now, the Heaven Devouring Avatar had reached an
absolute height. His battle prowess had exceeded his previous
self. Compared to when he was in the Ghost Sea Prison, he
was stronger and faster. It was especially so after mastering
the Dark North Royal Obelisk. The power of spirit design he
had released abruptly had seemingly exceeded the Primordial
Spirit Transformation Realm!
In that strike, sky palaces and dark spirits surfaced
alternatively and eventually gathered to form a ray of sword
qi. The instantaneous explosion was fast, ruthless, and
accurate. Moreover, the target wasn't the Ghostly Artificer,
but the arm of Ghostly Artificer that had the Ancient Soul
Dreamlocker!
The Heaven Devouring Avatar had waited stealthily for so
long, and Wu Yu had feinted just for this very moment.
The clash of Immortal Dao was extremely treacherous!
When the Saintly Sword of the Dark Spirit Obelisk burst across
and hit the Ghostly Artificer out of the blue, the Ghostly
Artificer was completely caught by surprise. All of a sudden,
his hair stood up, but he couldn't react to the attack at all.
In this process, all he could do was protect himself. This was a
subconscious reaction. Obviously, he had strong means to
protect himself. At this point, he had likely retrieved another
advanced dao treasure. It was as though a painting had
appeared before him to block the attack. The Saintly Sword of
the Dark Spirit Obelisk struck the edge of the painting, and the
dominating strength instantly separated the Ghostly Artificer
and his Ancient Soul Dreamlocker!
The majority of the power from the Saintly Sword of the Dark
Spirit Obelisk still landed on the spirit design. All of a sudden,
the entire world was shaking and the foundation of the spirit
design was shaken by the frost. When the sword qi landed on
the ground, one could see the ground of this endless world
instantly freezing into a black stream. With the sword qi at the
epicentre, the frost extended out and completely froze this
spirit design into a frosty world!
This wasn't the key though. The key was that Wu Yu had
succeeded. When the Ghostly Artificer lost control, the
Ancient Soul Dreamlocker lost its effects as well. Wu Yu and
the Full Moon of Nanshanthen fled from him at the same time!
"Somersault Cloud!" Wu Yu saw the Full Moon of Nanshan,
whose face and eyes were flushed red. At this point, the Full
Moon of Nanshan was in wretched shape and had heavy eyes.
Wu Yu knew that he had suffered huge trauma previously. The
next instant, he wrapped the Full Moon of Nanshan with his
Somersault Cloud and had to flee instantly. Initially, he
thought of charging out of the spirit design with the Full Moon
of Nanshan through the opening below them, where magma
could be seen. However, when the Ghostly Artificer avoided
the sword qi from the Heaven Devouring Avatar, he reacted
rapidly and sealed the opening in the first instant!
Wu Yu had no choice but to change his direction. He brought
the Full Moon of Nanshan along and rapidly broke away from
the region that the Ghostly Artificer controlled. As long as he
had the Somersault Cloud, the Ghostly Artificer might not be
able to capture them, even if they were still trapped in the
spirit design. Moreover, Wu Yu now had the Heaven
Devouring Avatar at a level that could barely contend against
the Ghostly Artificer!
Now that the Full Moon of Nanshan was with him, Wu Yu
wouldn't have to worry about him. He could also toy with the
Ghostly Artificer now!
Wu Yu had succeeded!
The Ghostly Artificer was enraged from his defeat now. It was
especially so after seeing the world created by his spirit design
turning into a frosty and dark world! "Brat, you have
succeeded in pissing me off! I gave you an easy way out and
yet you chose the difficult path! In that case, none of you shall
even think of leaving this place today!" The Ghostly Artificer
saw Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar and Wu Yu with the Full
Moon of Nanshan wrapped in the Somersault Cloud the next
moment. He gritted his teeth and shouted with booming
killing intent.
Previously, he tried to go back on his word with Wu Yu. He had
never expected Wu Yu to get away with the better end of the
deal this time.
Chapter 824: The Dagger
Wu Yu tuned the Ghostly Artificer out.
Because from the start, if the opponent had no other tricks up
his sleeve, he would have found it hard to threaten them. The
only possibility was to continue holding Wu Yu and the Full
Moon of Nanshan here. Because Wu Yu could leave, but the
Full Moon of Nanshan could not.
The Ghostly Artificer was very strong, and now that the Full
Moon of Nanshan was injured, he was of no help. Wu Yu's real
body could not help either, although the speed of his real body
allowed him to outstrip the Ghostly Artificer. The only
candidate to fight this enemy was the Heaven Devouring
Avatar.
Right now, his white-haired, red-eyed Heaven Devouring
Avatar stood between Wu Yu and the Ghostly Artificer, the
obsidian Dark North Royal Obelisk in hand.
The flowing, white hair and demonic, red eyes made for a
completely different Wu Yu, which made the Ghostly Artificer
realize for the first time that the most valuable possession Wu
Yu had might not be the Skeletal Flame Dragon. He had not
noticed this clone at first.
"You've got a lot of secrets, kid! To have such abundant
resources, and even a talented demon follower. You must be
highly placed in the Yan Huang Ancient Country. If not for the
fact that your brow isn't marked with the Yan Huang royal
family crest, I would have thought you some prince! But even
so, your status probably isn't lower than a prince's, is it? To be
able to trap you here until my Ghostly Yan Tribe superiors
arrive - that would be great work indeed!" The Ghostly
Artificer was in no hurry, instead speaking with some bravado.
Wu Yu's real body and the Full Moon of Nanshan were a little
distance away from him. At this point, the Full Moon of
Nanshan had experienced the effects of this spirit design. Now
that he was on his guard, he was in a much better situation,
and would not fall into reckless anger for now.
The one that replied to the Ghostly Artificer was Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar. He said coldly, "Enough with the
scares. When the likes of you meets a talented person like
myself, you must be thinking of how you can have it all for
yourself. As if an avaricious thing like you would share."
Wu Yu could only delay his opponent since they could not
escape.
The Full Moon of Nanshan composed himself. He looked at Wu
Yu gravely and said, "I have seen all that has happened here.
Wu Yu, I can only apologize to you. I can see that you've
treated me fairly, but before this, I did not treat you the same
way. I simply wanted to use you, control you, and have you
chase me.... Your just manner has made me feel guilty. Forget
all else, from now on, I will treat you as you treat me. I will not
let you down."
He said a lot and then heaved a sigh, grinning foolishly.
"Think nothing of it. Making friends is a giving process. That
you can be honest makes me feel that all that I have done was
worth it." Wu Yu did not care about the rest. He knew that the
Full Moon of Nanshan had carried some wicked intentions at
the start, but Wu Yu's efforts had finally made the Full Moon
of Nanshan come around. Of course, this proved that the Full
Moon of Nanshan was not bad by nature. To think that he was
once an innocent, little boar....
"Well said! It was an honor to know you. A coincidence that
we have similar legacies. Perhaps the Great Sage, Heaven's
Equal and Marshal Tian Peng were once friends. And us
fighting shoulder to shoulder is also the will of those two
elders. In truth, I did sense some familiarity when I first laid
eyes on you."
Right now, they spoke freely, and their relationship grew a
step closer.
Wu Yu was actually the same. He had felt a sense of kinship
upon meeting the Full Moon of Nanshan. And now that he was
in danger, Wu Yu could not resist wanting to take care of him.
Although he was older than Wu Yu, Wu Yu still felt like an elder
brother to him.
Of course, this was something that the Full Moon of Nanshan
would not acknowledge. He was someone who liked to be the
boss.
As Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan chatted, the Ghostly
Artificer was fencing with Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar.
The Ghostly Artificer wanted to vent his anger on Wu Yu and
the Full Moon of Nanshan, but it was useless. Therefore, he
wanted to control them, and he had two main targets. One
was the Heaven Devouring Avatar, and the other was the Full
Moon of Nanshan.
He could see that Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar did not
possess the terrifying speed of the real body.
But he also saw that the Heaven Devouring Avatar was not at
all weak.
As for the Full Moon of Nanshan, he still wanted to control him
with the spirit design. Therefore, he started to activate the
enormous spirit design underfoot! Instantly, the icy, frozen
world started to thaw, and the mountain of flowers bloomed
anew.
The alien scent again began to effuse forth.
"Dark Sea Ghostly Tempest!" As the Ghostly Artificer began to
activate his spirit design, filling the mountains with flowers
that bloomed forth from the icy, black rivers, Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar instantly responded. He thrust the Dark
North Royal Obelisk into the sky, and the sword qi blasted into
the skies. Frost filled the sky, forming dense, black clouds that
flashed, not with lightning, but with a torrential hail of sword
qi that howled amidst the darkening skies!
"Rain!" Under the Heaven Devouring Avatar's control, a heavy
downpour broke over them, black sword qi as sharp as ice
pattering down in a huge perimeter. It fell at a frightening
pace, and sounded like the world was shattering. Billions of
bits of sword qi riddled the mountains and plains,
transforming this spirit design world into a pincushion. The
entire ground was churned, and the world again froze over,
falling into dark shadow that was even deeper than the last
time!
From the skies above, the keen sword qi continued to fall!
This was the power of the Dark Sea Ghostly Tempest! Each dao
treasure's Offensive Spirit Designs had many ways that they
could be used. Sometimes, they were direct attacks, and some
could be used as ingeniously as Wu Yu had demonstrated. This
was the perfect counter to this enemy's spirit design. The
scent from the flowers was completely smothered. In truth,
Wu Yu was using the Dark North Royal Obelisk to curb his
opponent's spirit design's effects. Of course, this required
tremendous power. After devouring the seven Thunder Flame
Army people, the Heaven Devouring Avatar's power was close
to the Ghostly Artificer's own!
This thoroughly scared the Ghostly Artificer. He was still
thinking of how to deal with Wu Yu and the Full Moon of
Nanshan, when the Heaven Devouring Avatar had destroyed
his spirit design!
Although he could still find a way for the fresh flowers to break
through the sea of ice, evidently, Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring
Avatar could continue to shut them down!
Continuing this cycle would do the Ghostly Artificer no good.
And this was originally the territory of the Yan Huang Tribe. It
was dangerous for him to linger overlong.
Therefore, with Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar present, it
was very difficult for him to control the Full Moon of Nanshan!
"Right now, his real body and that demon are far away from
me, but the clone can approach me. By fighting me, he hopes
to gain some battle experience. In that case, I will focus on the
clone!"

He looked towards Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar. The

Heaven Devouring Avatar did not have Wu Yu's speed, so he
was sure he could beat it!
"This clone is even more powerful than his real body. If I can
control it, that would be taking away the heart of his treasures.
His real body will be even more trapped!"
Staring at Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar, the Ghostly
Artificer had puzzled it out. At this time, the Ancient Soul
Dreamlocker was hefted alongside a small, sharp dagger. This
dagger was completely black, and had bloody markings on it,
as though it were the fang of some huge beast. As it appeared,
its terrifyingly vampiric aura was apparent!
On closer look, this little dagger should be the most powerful
advanced dao treasure that the Ghostly Artificer possessed.
He had used this dagger to pierce the Thunder Flame Army
soldiers' head!
This little dagger posed a considerable threat to Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar!
"Looks like you're trying to fight me head on. Interesting. Then
let me see what you're capable of."
The Ghostly Artificer had completely abandoned the spirit
design, and now focused all his energy on the Heaven
Devouring Avatar. With the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker in one
hand and the little dagger in the other, he closed in on Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar!
From the start of this battle, Wu Yu could feel the extreme
pressure that his opponent exerted. He was truly a powerful
Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm cultivator, and he must
have been cultivating for at least 10 times as long as Wu Yu!
Especially that little knife. Although it was gripped in his hand,
Wu Yu felt as though it were poised at his brow!
This dagger could definitely pierce Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring
Avatar!
The Ghostly Artificer might be using this dagger as his ultimate
killing weapon, aiming to kill the Heaven Devouring Avatar
when the chance presented itself. That was why he had not
used it from the start, but only used it to deter.
After all, he still wanted to control the Heaven Devouring
Avatar and, by proxy, Wu Yu!
"Ancient Soul Dream Drowner!" He used the Ancient Soul
Dreamlocker, the chain of skulls flailing out. It formed a huge
circle, and the head and tail connected. It captured Wu Yu's
Heaven Devouring Avatar within, and one skull expanded to
an exceptional size. All of them faced Wu Yu, as though many
victims were wailing towards Wu Yu at the same time. All the
skulls began to spout black smog from every orifice, and the
entire area became a sea that drowned Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar within!
This was an attack on both the body and the Primordial Spirit.
As expected, a Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm expert
would immediately go for the kill!
However, Wu Yu reacted quickly as well. Seeing the fog come
crowding in, his face did not change. As the snapping skulls
were on the verge of penetrating the Heaven Devouring
Avatar, Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar morphed into
smoke as well, and quickly turned into a huge, dark vortex that
spun rapidly!
Hu, hu!
This time, it was not the mist from the skulls attacking Wu Yu's
body and Primordial Spirit, but Wu Yu's devouring vortex
absorbing the mist!
Chapter 825: Battle of Devouring
What the Heaven Devouring Avatar was using was the first
mystique-like ability that Wu Yu had discovered. Wu Yu gave
it a simple name: Return.
What it meant was simple. That would be reflecting the
attacks of his opponent.
Obviously, there were times where the opponents' attacks
were so strong that they exceeded the limits he could endure.
Nonetheless, the limits he could endure could be frighteningly
high at times. As long as the other party wasn’t
overwhelmingly more powerful than the Heaven Devouring
Avatar, he would be capable of completing an impossible turn-
around driven by Wu Yu's resilience!
Also, there were some attacking means that were more
suitable for conversion, while others not as much. For
example, that little dagger that the opponent had would be
the hardest to convert if used. Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring
Avatar would definitely be pierced by it!
However, for some attacks, it would be extremely easy and
suitable for conversion. An example would be the attack the
other party was releasing currently. The Offensive Spirit
Design of the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker, Ancient Soul Dream
Drowner!
From within the skulls, streams of black mist were swarming
towards Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar frenziedly. At this
very moment, Wu Yu's Heaven Devouring Avatar had
morphed into a huge vortex and started spinning at high
speeds. The black mist was sucked into the vortex and
assimilated into it. One could hear the howling of the gases
and, from time to time, vague sounds of bones crushing and
cracking within the vortex!
The Heaven Devouring Avatar knew his limits the clearest.
However, such limits could be challenged as well.
An attack from a Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm expert
instantly pushed Wu Yu to the limit. The corrosive mist could
also inflict damage to the Heaven Devouring Avatar when it
was absorbed. While different from his body and strength, the
corrosive mist was still converted within the vortex and
eventually assimilated into the mist. In this process, Wu Yu
would gain control and even inject his own uniqueness into
the converted mist before assimilating it!
"Grr!" From the black vortex, one could even hear the roar of
a huge beast. That was released subconsciously by Wu Yu. He
was struggling to endure, constantly raising his limits,
suppressing and controlling the turbulent energy within his
body!
"What's happening?" The Ghostly Artificer was still smiling
initially. However, his smile had now been replaced by shock.
This was not the first time he had made such an expression
when facing Wu Yu.
This was because he could sense that his Ancient Soul Dream
Drowner had not damaged Wu Yu at all. Instead, it had
gradually broken free from his control. It was as though the
sword he was holding was gradually changing into his
opponent's sword. This was something that he had never
encountered before!
Nonetheless, he didn't have much time to react, as the vortex
grew larger and larger and devoured all the mist in the blink of
an eye. After which, the vortex spun at an even more frenzied
speed. With each rotation, the Ghostly Artificer could feel that
he was losing a portion of his control. When the vortex
reached the maximum speed, it stopped abruptly before
spinning in the opposite direction. The reverse spinning
process resulted in a huge column of converted mist ejecting
out of the vortex and towards the direction of the Ghostly
Artificer!
This attack came from the Ghostly Artificer in the first place
and therefore would obviously be a threat to himself!
Compared to the attack of the Ghostly Artificer previously, it
had become even stronger as the Heaven Devouring Avatar
had injected his own unique characteristics in it!
Now the one facing the threat had reversed to the Ghostly
Artificer!
Behind the turbulent burst of mist, the Ghostly Artificer could
see the vortex gradually taking the form of the white-haired,
red-eyed Wu Yu. Those cold and devilish red eyes and the
fluttering, white hair gave off frightening vibes when it
appeared out of nowhere. It was as though this wasn't a
human, but a titanic beast capable of covering the skies!
"What the hell is that? A human? A beast? Or a demon?" The
Ghostly Artificer was speechless and cursed in his mind. At the
same time, he had no choice but to take on his own attack!
Furthermore, after returning the Offensive Spirit Design to his
opponent, the Dark North Royal Obelisk in Wu Yu transformed
into a long whip made of segments. Each segment had
reversed spikes, and the end of the long whip was no different
from the sharp tip of a spear.
It was as though Wu Yu had control over a dragon now. A black
mystical dragon was swaying and howling before him. He
suddenly flexed his arm and that long whip extended
indefinitely behind the corrosive column of mist and towards
the Ghostly Artificer! Sounds of air explosions erupted
constantly.
Wherever the whip passed, large amounts of freezing cold
energy was released from the long whip. The long whip had all
the chill gathered within. When released explosively now,
even the air along its path was frozen solid. The overwhelming
chill was all gathered at the forefront of the column of mist,
fusing two attacks into one. The razor-sharp, long whip was
camouflaged within it and the numerous spirit designs
surrounding it had a large number of insignias surfacing. This
was almost the strongest attack Wu Yu had ever launched, and
it swept towards the Ghostly Artificer!
"Dark North Saintly Dragon Formation!"
Among the spirit designs of the Dark North Royal Obelisk,
whether it was the Dark Sea Ghostly Tempest or the Dark
North Saintly Dragon Formation, both possessed extremely
catastrophic destructive force and were incomparably near
the level of a seraphic dao treasure!
The Ghostly Artificer was now facing the most daunting
challenge. His expression had darkened, but he still reacted
very rapidly.
He retracted the Ancient Soul Dreamlocker rapidly and
manipulated the skulls to be arranged before him. All of a
sudden, those skulls formed a thick wall. When all the skulls
got together, they underwent huge changes and became his
spine. The wall also morphed into a skeletal giant with three
heads and six arms. That skeletal giant held up its arm and
dashed towards Wu Yu. In no time, they clashed together.
Pa, pa, pa! Huge explosions erupted within the spirit designs.
The deafening explosions shook the entire glacial world. The
extreme chill was released explosively from the column of
corrosive mist, instantly sinking the world into a higher level
of frost!
RUMBLE!
The skeletal giant was sucked into the cold wave rapidly and
the extreme chill corroded it swiftly. Under the whipping force
of the Dark North Saintly Dragon Formation, the skeletal giant
exploded into countless shattered bones!
Countless streams of chilling air shot towards the Ghostly
Artificer and overwhelmed him instantly!

This was the attack from the Ghostly Artificer initially.

Together with the attack from the Dark North Royal Obelisk,
its power would definitely be stronger than a last minute
reaction made in a hurry!
When the attack of the Dark North Saintly Dragon Formation
landed on the Ghostly Artificer, he was sent flying back after a
huge explosion. His body was frozen solid and rolled into a
huge ice ball in the glacial world. Clearly, Wu Yu had connected
his attack on the Ghostly Artificer! And he had a certain level
of dominance over him.
However, when Wu Yu was feeling a little content, that ice
sphere exploded and the Ghostly Artificer emerged from it. He
no longer looked as calm and composed, and it was clear that
he had not suffered grave injuries. At this point, he was
glowering at Wu Yu with extreme rage. He had wanted to
attack Wu Yu but had taken the counterattack from Wu Yu
instead. Nonetheless, this wasn't the full extent of his
strength. After all, it hadn't been just one or two days since he
reached the Dao Querying Three Disasters Realm!
"I'm surprised you are so capable and almost have the
strength to go against me. The shame is that you are still too
young and a little off from me! Nonetheless, you have truly
pissed me off. I won't go easy on you from here onwards!"
Wu Yu had never expected the counter-attack he spent so
much time preparing to fail to deal severe injuries to the other
party.
He was still able to accept the fact, though. After all, he knew
how strong the other party was. It was already incredible that
he could force the Ghostly Artificer to such a state.
The question now would be how could he hold the Ghostly
Cultivator at bay?
After getting a sense of each other's strength, it was crystal
clear to Wu Yu that even the Heaven Devouring Avatar would
be no match for this opponent. Therefore, he was prepared to
flee. As long as he returned to the Somersault Cloud, the
Ghostly Artificer would not be able to catch up to him!
At this very moment, Wu Yu saw the Ghostly Artificer holding
on to the dagger, about to use it to attack!
At the most critical juncture, Wu Yu summoned the
Somersault Cloud from the Heaven Devouring Avatar while
the Heaven Devouring Avatar moved towards the main body!
All three of them moved in the same instant!
Wu Yu could see clearly that with a small movement of a
finger, the dagger flew out of the Ghostly Artificer's hand. Its
speed was frighteningly swift. It looked like a simple and direct
move that caused no commotion. Silently, the dagger got
closer to the Heaven Devouring Avatar - a lethal threat!
Luckily, Wu Yu's reaction was a tad quicker. His Somersault
Cloud fused with his Heaven Devouring Avatar and swept it
away by the slightest margin before the dagger could land a
hit! However, the dagger could make a turn and continued
chasing after Wu Yu. Wu Yu was steering the Somersault Cloud
while dodging at his highest speed. The dagger was extremely
fast as well, but still a little slower than Wu Yu!
As a result, although the dagger was just like a living creature
that pursued constantly, the distance between Wu Yu and it
was still enlarging. The spirit design world here was
exceptionally broad and therefore Wu Yu still stood a huge
chance of escaping within this space.
The Ghostly Artificer tried triggering the spirit design to
regenerate the sea of flowers that could cause disorientation.
However, whenever he tried to do so, Wu Yu's Heaven
Devouring Avatar would break away from the Somersault
Cloud for an instant and freeze the spirit design world into a
glacial world with the Dark Sea Ghostly Tempest!
As a result, he had no effective method to deal with Wu Yu.
Seeing the Ghostly Artificer getting more and more impatient,
Wu Yu was also getting more and more composed. If things
went as he expected, the opportunity might arise an hour
later!
"It's pointless for you to run like this. Not a single Yan Huang
Tribe member will come here, and my spiritual power is
denser than yours. We will reach a point where you are
exhausted. When that time comes, it will be the day you die!"
"Don't make me laugh. You are way more anxious than me.
Let's see who can resist longer," Wu Yu answered calmly.
