BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1292: Eye of the Dragon Emperor
They were beautiful to look at, and filled with the power of youth.
Each of them looked like they had been through intense battles, like Ye Xuanyi and the others, and had been selected to come here.
Just the Sky Will Empire alone had many mystical dragons. Next was the Sky Shadow Empire.
While the names were being called, and the mystical dragons were entering the battlefield, Wu Yu was busy observing the Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield.
Firstly, he noted that there seemed to be a huge eye on the white mirror.
He asked Ye Qianning about it.
Ye Qianning said, "That’s the Eye of the Dragon Emperor. When the trial starts, the Eye of the Dragon Emperor can scan the entire Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory, and will often zoom in on key fights so that we spectators can see it. But don’t worry. The Eye of the Dragon Emperor is a destinable immortal treasure. It will pretty much only be trained on the elite mystical dragons. Stay low-profile inside and it will not turn to you."
The eye was indeed huge. When the time came, it would probably be able to show what it saw to the entire Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield.
This made Wu Yu realize that his actions in the Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory might be seen. Therefore, he needed to be careful.
"What about that pillar?" Wu Yu saw that there was a huge pillar at the edge of the field. It rose up to the clouds and seemed to be an unremarkable part of the architecture.
"That’s the Giant Purgatory Pillar. Once you go in, it will activate. At that time, all 600-odd competitors’ Dragon Emperor Immortal Designs will be listed on it, and the highest name will, of course, be in first place. The ranking of your Dragon Emperor Immortal Design will continue to change and everything will be clear. This is also why many of the competitors are worried that their rankings will embarrass them. Of course, everyone wants to place better. It is a great honor."
Wu Yu was startled. To think that one’s own Dragon Emperor Immortal Design would determine the ranking. When it started, rankings would definitely change dramatically.
"And if I don’t participate, does that mean my ranking will sink to the bottom? How embarrassing will that be?" Wu Yu himself did not mind, but he was afraid that Wu Jun and the others would be laughed at.
"Settle your own business first. If you can do that, you can just participate as a gesture. Don’t be last, that’s all," Wu Hao said.
Of course, he hoped that Wu Yu could help win him some pride. After all, the Sky Chariot Dragon King had been so overbearing. But he could not help but understand how impossible it was. Therefore, he did not wish to give Wu Yu any pressure.
"Understood."
The Giant Purgatory Pillar was like a leaderboard.
When the Sky Will Dragon King called out their names, many promising male and female mystical dragons took to the field, landing on the Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield. They formed their own group, full of the passion of youth. Many watched such events as if they were cockfighting, and they were already raring for the fighting to begin.
"Primordial Immortal Empire!"
He reached the 87th ranked Primordial Immortal Empire, which was an unremarkable empire. Many people had heard that the Sky Chariot Dragon King and the Primordial Immortal Empire’s Baiyin Dragon King had an intense argument before entering the venue, reportedly over old history. As for what had happened between Wu Hao, Ye Qianning, and the Sky Chariot Dragon King, many of the mystical dragons present today knew. Therefore, many turned to the Primordial Immortal Empire and then to the Sky Chariot Empire, anticipating a good show.
Of course, they knew that the Primordial Immortal Empire would not have a good time.
If not for Wu Jun being strong, perhaps even his position of Hundred Empire Dragon King would be taken away.
"Ye Xuanyi."
Being called out, Ye Xuanyi froze and stood stiffly. With numerous dragon kings and dragon lords looking at him, the pressure was incredible.
"Xing Ling."
"Yu Manyuan."
All three looked slightly pale, especially when the mocking hoots of the mystical dragons below floated up to them.
"Let’s go down together." Ye Xuanyi took a few deep breaths and looked at those beside him. The three headed down amidst the crowd’s scrutinizing gazes. However, the three of them only dared to stand timidly at the periphery, afraid of going to the center, where the contenders from the Three Great Empires were.
The Sky Heart Tribe was used to calling the Sky Will Empire, the Sky Shadow Empire, and the Sky Chariot Empire the Three Great Empires. They were all the children of the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor, and were ranked first, second, and third.
"The Primordial Immortal Empire has only sent these three kids. No wonder the dragon kings have said that the Primordial Immortal Empire can’t make it. Within the Hundred Empires, it probably ranks last." Ye Xuanyi could hear many such slights, but he was too weak to dare to say anything about it.
In the Primordial Immortal Empire, he could put on airs, but here, everyone was stronger than him.
"Wu Yu."
The Sky Will Dragon King paused a little before calling out this name. Perhaps he had never heard of this name before.
"Go on," Wu Jun said.
Wu Yu nodded. A human quickly landed amidst the crowd of mystical dragons. This was extremely unusual for the Sky Heart Tribe.
"Who is that? A human?"
"The Primordial Immortal Empire allowed a human to join the Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory?"
"What kind of joke is this...."
Although Wu Yu had tried to be as inconspicuous as possible, he had still gotten all of their attention. Because of Wu Yu’s appearance, even Ye Xuanyi and the others had the pressure on them lessened.
Against the many incredulous glares from dragon kings and dragon lords, Wu Yu was calm. He quickly moved to stand on the Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield without saying a word. He ignored the pressuring glares.
The atmosphere here had started to heat up.
"Big Brother, what kind of joke is this? A human participating in our Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory? Has this ever happened before? Wu Jun, your brain must be rotten. Or is it that the Primordial Immortal Empire has no one else who can join? You’re actually sending a human?"
As for Wu Jun’s decision, the other Hundred Empire Dragon Kings were not in a position to speak, but it was Sky Chariot Dragon King who had boorishly shot his mouth off. Actually, Wu Jun had thought that the past was buried. The Sky Chariot Dragon King had also wedded and raised children, so he should have forgotten about Ye Qianning and Wu Hao. To think that he would actually call out the Primordial Immortal Empire even before entering the venue.
Wu Jun said, "This person is my disciple. He is willing to serve the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. He is already a citizen of the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. And also a member of the Primordial Immortal Empire. I have given him the Immortal Dragon Imperial Decree. By the rules, anyone from the Primordial Immortal Empire who is below one yuan in age and is selected by me can participate. The Sky Will Dragon King has also allowed this. There is no need for the Sky Chariot Dragon King to be concerned."
Although there had been no precedent, that did not mean that it was forbidden. After all, the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm had many immortals who served it. Most commonly, they were the dao companions of mystical dragons.
However, those that became dao companions often exceeded one yuan in age. Therefore, it was not possible for them to participate in the Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory. That was why there had been no precedent.
Wu Jun had just finished speaking when another Hundred Empire Dragon King spoke. His voice came from not far to the side of the Primordial Immortal Empire. It was the Deep Dreams Empire, whose dragon king was a female. She was a Deep Dreams Heart Dragon, and the Deep Dreams Empire was just beside the Primordial Immortal Empire.
The clear and pure voice of the Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen cut across. "What disciple? Speak the truth, Primordial Immortal Empire Dragon King. I hear that your younger brother, the Baiyin Dragon King, has recently adopted a newly ascended Primordial Immortal Dragon. This is news worthy of celebration indeed. After all, it is a miracle that the mortal domain can produce an ultimate mystical dragon. But hear me out, this adopted daughter, Luo Pin, already had a dao companion in the mortal domain. The two ascended together, and the dao companion even came to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. That must be this contender, Wu Yu."
News of Wu Yu had long spread to the neighboring empires, and it was expected that the Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen had heard of it. She was one of the few Hundred Empire Dragon Kings who was on bad terms with the Primordial Immortal Empire’s dragon king. But ordinarily, she would not accuse Wu Jun at such a time with the truth.
Ye Qianning was furious. "That bitch, she must have seen that the Sky Chariot Dragon King set himself against us, and is trying to curry favor with him!"
Of course, everyone understood the Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen’s intent.
News of Wu Yu and Luo Pin were already well known. At this time, virtually everyone was looking at the two. Even Luo Pin was feeling the crushing stress, and Ye Qianning shielded her.
"Bad form! Scandalous!"
"Ultimate mystical dragon? Just ascended? A mortal domain dao companion? An immortal? Those that just ascended can only be considered infant dragons. Can an infant ultimate mystical dragon also have an immortal dao companion?"
"Sly! Foolish! Despicable! A disgrace to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm!"
"Who allowed this Wu Yu to enter the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm? And let him join the Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory? Is Wu Jun wrong in the head? Something rotten in his skull?"
Whether dragon king or dragon lord, all of them felt that this was unacceptable, and continued to call out their displeasure.
The Sky Chariot Dragon King roared with laughter. "Primordial Immortal Empire, you have really opened my eyes. Two Primordial Immortal Dragons got together, but they could not birth a child. A complete waste of talent! Now a stroke of good luck has brought you an adopted daughter. But at a young age, she already has an immortal dao companion. And also a dragon who is doomed! It seems like the Primordial Immortal Dragons are doomed to extinction. And they are ultimate mystical dragons as well. A pity! If they had joined with a Primordial Divine Dragon like myself, they might have been able to give birth to Ancient Sky Heart Dragons! We have so many talented and handsome youngsters here amongst the Primordial Divine Dragons. Tell me, everyone, don’t you think that the Wu Jun and Wu Hao brothers are brainsick?! Haha!"
These words from the Sky Chariot Dragon King, of course, raised laughter from many dragon kings. Suddenly, it seemed like even all the competitors on the Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield were laughing, looking disparagingly at Wu Yu.
Wu Hao’s face was green.
All of this was incited by the Sky Chariot Dragon King. He wished he could kill him.
But he also knew that this was impossible.
Because the Sky Heart Tribe was ruled by the three siblings.
