These two mystical dragons were green and purple, male and female. They had suddenly appeared before Wu Yu.
They had clearly been chasing that ghostly cultivator.
The purple mystical dragon did not have a huge body, but had a huge pair of indigo wings. The feathers on the wings were all shaped like sharp shortswords, lined up neatly to form a huge and deadly set of wings.
Wu Yu recalled that this was a Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon.
The other was a green mystical dragon that was clearly male. He had a larger body and his green scales were dazzling. Most prominent was the single long horn on his head, that was like a spear. It jutted out, and looked so sharp that one could almost hurt oneself just by looking at it. It also radiated an eerie, green light.
This was the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon.
These two mystical dragons moved and fought together. Evidently, they were on good terms. And Wu Yu could see that the Dragon Emperor Immortal Design on the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon's horn had already grown much stronger. While the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon's horn was much larger than Wu Yu's, it was still nothing compared to the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon's.
Wu Yu understood their strategy. The Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon, in order to woo a beauty, had made a sacrifice and allowed the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon to absorb most of the gains. That way, the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon's ranking would be much higher, thanks to his contributions.
And the prey which had almost been in their hands had been snatched away by Wu Yu. Of course, they were angry.
Especially since they saw that the one who had snatched it was Wu Yu!
"It's you!" the two mystical dragons exclaimed, and a gleam entered their eyes.
Of course. Wu Yu was worth a Genesis Mystical Pill and a destinable immortal talisman.
Wu Yu had an impression of them. When the Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen spoke, they were by her side.
The Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen had spoken of Wu Yu and Luo Pin, causing others to laugh. If she had not spoken, the impact would not have been as great.
"Deep Dreams Empire?" Wu Yu ventured.
The Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon laughed coldly, speaking as he circled behind Wu Yu. "That's right. Heard of us? Wu Yu, you've snatched away what was ours. You have to pay a price, right?"
In front, the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon blew a teasing kiss. "Be a good boy and don't move. You'll be hurt less, and we can have an easier time as well. Trading you for a Genesis Mystical Pill will be compensation for kill stealing."
"And if I don't?" Since he had not found that person yet, Wu Yu could turn his focus to revenge for now. He would play along.
The Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon smirked. "Then we will have to show you no mercy and drag you over. The more unruly you are, the more unpleasant it will be." The Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon said, "Of course, this is all nothing compared to the pain you will feel at the hands of the Tian Ming Dragon Lord. After you lose the Primordial Immortal Dragon, you will get chased out of the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm and will have to watch that Luo Pin taken by the Tian Ming Dragon Lord as his own. Now that will be true pain."
Wu Yu smiled. "I say. You're a woman, why is your tongue so vile?"
The Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon said, "I am just speaking the truth. Well, just wait right there. Big Brother Deep Green, don't move. I'll take him down alone. The fact that a heavenly immortal like you can last so long here shows that you're a pretty lucky one. You must have hidden well."
"If not for the fact that our ghostly immortal was already beaten half to death, you wouldn't have been able to take him down either."
They were both beings with five immortal dao marks, so it was expected that they did not take Wu Yu seriously. At this time, the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon was not paying full attention either. She talked to the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon while chasing Wu Yu.
"Lifeless Blood Lightning."
She was caught off-guard by how swift and savage Wu Yu's own move was. He hurled out scarlet lightning that formed a huge sphere. It caught the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon within, then the lightning exploded. The scarlet lightning streaked like spines towards the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon's body!
"Ahh!" The terrifying power of the lightning caused the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon to seize up in pain. She looked at Wu Yu fearfully. She wished to fight back, but the destructive pain had wormed its way into her bones. Under such an overpowering mystique's effect, she could only yelp and use her Escape Immortal Design.
Otherwise, she would die!
Whoosh!
The Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon had been helpless against Wu Yu's attacks. Even when using the Escape Immortal Design, she had not imagined how desperate her situation would become.
While all of this happened, the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon was still standing there, slack-jawed.
"It's your turn now. Go back and tell your Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen that it was Wu Yu who sent you out. Tell her to shut her mouth and not to gossip next time."
Wu Yu turned to the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon with a hard look.
"Go to hell!" The Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon flew into a rage. He had yet to understand the circumstances, but it did not matter.
Wu Yu again used a mystique. This was the Quintessential Tree Demon's Incandescent Mirror, which shimmered to existence before Wu Yu. The blinding light completely swallowed the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon!
"Argh, argh!"
The Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon wrenched and convulsed in the light, screaming. The green scales on his body were ripped off, and his flesh was exposed.
He was quite a strong-willed one, but against such crushing force, he could only scream helplessly.
"You! How are you so strong!?" the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon howled.
All that answered him was Wu Yu’s cold and resolved gaze.
"Escape Immortal Design!" Before he died, he decided to activate his Escape Immortal Design. Otherwise, he would have been crushed easily to death by Wu Yu.
Given Wu Yu's strength, dealing with them was just a simple matter of using two mystiques. His Bodhi immortal energy and Nine Aspects Vajra buddha energy were incredibly strong now. Not even being channeled into a mystique, they were already about as strong as a 5-Xuan immortal.
Even against such elite mystical dragons.
However, Wu Yu still had much room to improve.
He was alone again.
This was the first time that Wu Yu had shown the mystical dragons his fighting power.
.............
Dragon Emperor's Supreme Battlefield.
More than a month had passed, and the seated elite dragon lords and dragon kings were chatting as they watched the rankings change on the Giant Purgatory Pillar. Occasionally, they would look at the fight scenes that the Eye of the Dragon Emperor showed.
The Eye of the Dragon Emperor had especially focused on the elite mystical dragons that were the hot favorites, such as the Tian Ming Dragon Lord. He specifically targeted the elite criminals, and each fight was epic. At the Immortal Lord Realm, he did not have any match, and he had fairly brutal methods. In just a month, his Dragon Emperor Immortal Design had already grown considerably.
The way he crushed each battle made the other dragon lords cry out in admiration. "No less than expected of the Sky Chariot Dragon King's son! No wonder he got runner-up in the last Dragon Emperor's Purgatory!"
"This time, first place is definitely his! Last time, he already took second place as a 9-Xuan immortal."
"There are a few other 9-Xuan immortals that are doing well also. But they're still a little lacking compared to the Tian Ming Dragon Lord."
On the Giant Purgatory Pillar, the most resplendent name at the top, which many mystical dragons were gratified to see, was: Sky Chariot Empire, Tian Ming!
Further down along the list, there had been some intense changes. Tian Ming had already rushed to first place by the second day and then had continued to make his position more and more unassailable. The gap between Tian Ming and the others grew wider and wider.
He had left them all in his dust.
Of course, the top 10 now were basically within everyone's expectations. They were mostly 9-Xuan immortals, the stellar youths from the Sky Heart tribe.
The entire rankings were as expected, and very reasonable.
The Sky Chariot Dragon King was completely at ease, and talking to others without the slightest worry. Occasionally, he would look at the bottom of the Giant Purgatory Pillar, and he could not resist directing loud, obnoxious laughter towards the Primordial Immortal Empire’s side.
That was because the bottom of the Giant Purgatory Pillar was ranked like this.
Fourth from the bottom: Primordial Immortal Empire, Ye Xuanyi!
Third from the bottom: Primordial Immortal Empire, Xing Ling!
Second from the bottom: Primordial Immortal Empire, Yu Manyuan!
Last place: Primordial Immortal Empire, Wu Yu!
They were all neatly lined up!
Just like the Sky Chariot Empire, the Sky Will Empire, and the Sky Shadow Empire were lined up neatly at the top of the rankings.
A difference like night and day.
As long as this ranking did not change, they would be the laughing stock for the rest of the year. Especially since they were often the brunt of unkind words.
"If this continues, I think the Primordial Immortal Empire needn't join next time. It's too embarrassing."
"They're even worse than the 100th ranked empire. Haha...."
"What has the Primordial Immortal Empire been doing all these years? Is each generation worse than the last? What a preposterous joke...."
"And they have the audacity to continue sitting here. If it were me, I would already have left out of shame."
There were many who were looking to suck up to the Sky Chariot Dragon King now. Besides Wu Jun's friends, those that were usually neutral had all joined the taunting.
Of course, they were also taunting Wu Hao and Ye Qianning.
In this month, Wu Jun had been silent, and Wu Hao had been turning steadily greener. Ye Qianning was also frustrated. She shook her head.
"No need to worry about Wu Yu. He is simply not interested in the trial. This means that he is preoccupied with something else." Luo Pin was still calm, because she understood Wu Yu.
She knew that he was last place because he was not interested.
Of course, no one else would believe this.
"How can Xuanyi's strength make him fourth from the bottom? It must be because of Wu Yu! Everyone is targeting the Primordial Immortal Empire!" the Luminary Dragon King said.
The Interstellar Domain Dragon King said, "That must be the case. Otherwise, Xing Ling would not be third from the bottom either. If he does not even dare to appear in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory, how can he attempt the challenge?"
The Jade Mirror Dragon Queen sighed. "I already felt that letting Wu Yu participate would completely disgrace us! Really...."
"Aren't you leaving the Primordial Immortal Empire? Don't worry about the Primordial Immortal Empire's face, then. It has nothing to do with you!" Ye Qianning rolled her eyes at her.
