Chapter 1467: The Four Meet
Before entering the 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King, Wu Yu had no intention of killing the son of Mighty Miracle God.
This was the son of the Primeval Mighty Miracle God, for goodness sake! With such a huge tribe, and a fearsome eternal immortal emperor at their head, the entire tribe would definitely be hard to deal with if they knew his true identity.
Wu Yu had not foreseen that he would fight this guy so quickly.
But dead was dead. He would have to bear the consequences henceforth. After all, in order to get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King that everyone wanted, and become an immortal emperor like everyone wanted, he had to pay a price.
Risk was inevitable.
And now all that Gu Huo Immortal Lord was, was his. In the middle of Greater Darkness Heaven, Wu Yu found the Rainbow Pearl. He now had his fourth Rainbow Pearl.
A total of 10, and he had close to half.
The remaining ones were with Mo Yuji and Xuanyang Emperor Lord, and then there were four in the ball of light.
Wu Yu had completely absorbed Gu Huo Immortal Lord's memories. Paired with the ghostly kings' memories, he now was very familiar with both the sky palaces and Hells. He had to know White Chalk Ghostly Lord and Gu Huo Immortal Lord thoroughly in order to better avoid the powers behind them that would be hunting him.
At present, it was quite hard for them to find out who he truly was. Unless he showed his true powers as Wu Yu. After all, they could only push as far as Chifeng Immortal Lord. Not much attention had been paid to his identities before that.
Currently, only Chifeng Immortal Lord, White Chalk Ghostly Lord, and White-Eyed Ghostly Lord's identities were linked. Perhaps next Qing Xuan Immortal Lord's identity would be exposed as well. But it did not matter. No one knew that he was Wu Yu. As long as he did not use any of the skills he showed today when he was Wu Yu, there would be no problem.
Although that was tricky business, but if he obtained the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King and the chance to become an immortal emperor, it would be worth it.
The Great Void Immortal Path was close to ending now.
He quickly devoured Gu Huo Immortal Lord, something that would have been unthinkable to him up until recently. Although not many had seen Gu Huo Immortal Lord actually die, but those around could guess, especially the Hell masters, ghostly kings, and eternal devil emperor descendants.
After he was done, Wu Yu quickly left the mini world and returned back to the ball of light. He now knew that many were staring at him, their eyes filled with shock and confusion!
This meant that Wu Yu had defeated Gu Huo Immortal Lord, and again triumphed. The promising prospect, Gu Huo Immortal Lord, had been eliminated!
If they knew that he was already dead, it would probably be even harder for them to accept. Here in the ghostly immortals' territory, Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Mo Yuji had already become their spiritual leaders.
Wu Yu luxuriated in the taste of glory, in the midst of all the sensation that he was creating. The ghostly immortals still sided with him, but many of them were already suspicious. White Chalk Ghostly Lord was the son of White Impermanence, but had never been as flashy as Xuanyang Emperor Lord.
Although he still made his own impact, but he was not Xuanyang Emperor Lord's equal in terms of status nor reputation. And the moves he used today did not seem like his at all. Especially those who had been familiar with White Chalk Ghostly Lord before. They had never seen such techniques from him before.
"He's won again! White Chalk Ghostly Lord is really strong. The dignity of the 10,000 Levels of Hell are all defended by him. But his moves seem a bit like your elder brother's!" In one of the mini worlds, Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord and another ghostly lord of the same cultivation realm had reached a ceasefire. Both watched this battle, and the ghostly immortal was both surprised and suspicious.
Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord clenched her fists tightly. She had not seen her father recently. Her eyes were red as she trembled.
"Why so silent!" The ghostly immortal grumbled.
"Go to hell!" Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord suddenly lashed out!
"What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree to the ceasefire?!" The other ghostly immortal was alarmed.
They would not understand Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord's feelings.
Just as they started fighting, something major happened.
Wu Yu had just returned to the ball of light, and was preparing for his next battle. Suddenly, the ball of light broke before him, and he was swept up by a sphere of light into the central glowing sphere. Before he could react, he found himself on one of the four pillars, a Rainbow Pearl before him!
"I'm in?" He was surprised, because it seemed like there had been a few more fights ahead of him. More difficult fights against the best!
"He's in!"
"Damn! That's too lucky! I thought he was a ways away!"
"Maybe it's not distance, but that he's gone through enough battles! Comparatively, he's beat more strong opponents compared to the others!"
"This means that he made it in by himself?"
"Of course. The Jade Emperor himself set this, why would he be biased!"
Wu Yu entering the central light ball raised a bigger stir than his defeat of Gu Huo Immortal Lord. After all, he had accomplished the ultimate goal!
"He already had one Rainbow Pearl! After Gu Huo Immortal Lord and this one, he now has three!"
All in all, his performance came as a shock to everyone. They were in awe at his abilities, and his qualification did not seem to be a result of any error. He had defeated quite a few strong opponents, including Chakravarti Ghostly King and Gu Huo Immortal Lord.
Wu Yu hastily kept the Rainbow Pearl!
"Fifth!"
He was elated. Finally he had reached the halfway mark. He was definitely the closest to success. Of course, he knew that he could not let down his guard now.
His success had galvanized the Hell masters and eternal devil emperor descendants even more.
Wu Yu saw that the three other pillars all had Rainbow Pearls on them. Of course, he tried if he could reach them, but he was unable to. The Jade Emperor would not let him sweep them all up.
He considered using Somersault Cloud to see if he could leap over.
However, the risk was too great. One wrong move and he would be out of the central light ball. That would be counterproductive.
Therefore he gave it up, and waited here obediently.
Three others would eventually enter and win their own Rainbow Pearl. As to how the final showdown would commence, or if they would have to face a trial, no one knew.
The situation was not favorable to Wu Yu right now, because he had expended much of his resources in the Immolation against Gu Huo Immortal Lord. Luckily, no one entered for a while, and they would also be tired out.
Wu Yu immediately used this time to sit in the lotus position and recover. He now had great riches with him, including many recuperative true immortal medicines and immortal essences. If not for the fact that it was inconvenient to reveal the Floating Dreams Pagoda, he would have even more time. Although the Floating Dreams Pagoda was not that strong anymore, but Wu Yu still had two or three times the time within it.
Time passed.
He gradually recovered.
All around him, the most thrilling high-level fights were breaking out. He was oblivious to all of them, focusing on his recovery. The earlier one entered, the more time one had to rest, and the better condition he would be in.
As for the others who entered later, they would be at a disadvantage if there was more fighting to be done after a long series of grueling fights.
As he recovered, Wu Yu felt a change within the glowing sphere. He opened his eyes to see that a second person had entered!
He had thought it would be a Hell master, but it was Xuanyang Emperor Lord! He appeared on the pillar opposite Wu Yu's, covered in wounds. He had evidently been through bitter fighting, but his second place arrival was testament to his abilities!
After entering, he only spared Wu Yu a quick glance before snatching up his second Rainbow Pearl and beginning h is recovery. He did not waste a single moment. Who knew what would come next? If it were a free-for-all, then whoever was in the best condition would gain an advantage in the next stage!
"This Xuanyang Emperor Lord is the son of the Beiyin Necropolis Grand Emperor, and of the highest status here. This is also considered his territory. That he can remain so low-profile and composed speaks of great presence of mind."
Wu Yu continued to recover. Their eyes had met briefly, and sparks had flown. It was hard to imagine what would happen if the four with Rainbow Pearls all appeared here.
Next, less than 15 minutes later, a third had arrived. Wu Yu saw that it was a Hell master. This was to be expected, as they were very strong. It was Tundra Hell master, who was one of the strongest among the Hell masters.
After entering, he was gravely wounded. The last battle had really taken a lot out of him. He looked very weak, and he too swiftly gathered up his Rainbow Pearl before beginning to recover.
The last one left now. Everyone was watching closely, and most had finally laid their fantastical hopes to rest, watching and not moving impulsively.
Wu Yu did not care. He would find out eventually who the last one would be. The priority was recovery.
Another 15 minutes passed.
With a flurry, Wu Yu saw that the last person who entered was in a bad state. Even so, it was hard to hide that face and that aura, as well as the arrogant and aloof aura she exuded. As she entered, she looked directly and deeply at Wu Yu. He immediately knew that she knew that he had killed Gu Huo Immortal Lord, and that he was Chifeng Immortal Lord.
The four were gathered.
