Chapter 1492: Heavenly Dragon Unification
Chapter 1492: Heavenly Dragon Unification
BOOM!
The nine mystical dragons charged from different directions, charged with heavenly rule power. The initial charge alone was equal to an immortal king’s attack, and not the kind that was suppressed by the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King.
In Astral Hell, Wu Yu had been able to stand against the Hell masters because they had been suppressed.
As for the thunder falcons, they too had heavenly rule power. This was power above that of daos, a fundamental power.
Lightning and fire were all destructive energies that flooded out in an overpowering wave. Like the other immortal kings, Wu Yu was completely engulfed. The immortal kings outside could not see clearly. Like the others, Wu Yu could do nothing but resist at the start. First he had to endure, then he could work on breaking it.
Otherwise, he would be eliminated directly, his 30,000 spirit ascension pills wasted.
Bang bang bang!
He used his physical body to go toe to toe against the nine fiery mystical dragons. Although they were charged with heavenly rule power, but this was not that big a threat to Wu Yu’s Invincible Vajra Body.
Just like Green Flame Immortal King, Wu Yu was more wary of the thunder falcons. They were everywhere, a dense web of electricity that exploded by him time and again. Each time they singed his flesh.
"Have to go for it!"
After all, his Invincible Vajra Body had already reached an unvanquishable level. Even if it was damaged, Wu Yu could hold on, and rely on his swift regeneration. Therefore, he was holding on by sheer will. He had to end this quickly by finding the key to the immortal design.
"Spirit Penetration Art!"
This was one of the Ground Demon Transformation Arts. In the mortal domain, Wu Yu had been guided by the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal to mastery. Ground Demon Transformation Art was wondrous. Even using it now, it was capable of magical power. Swift Art, Fixed Body Art, Violent Art and the others were all capable of marvelous power.
Amongst them, Spirit Penetration Art was designed to break immortal designs.
Using this magical art, he separated out a piece of his immortal spirit, which he sent into the immortal design. He began to burrow in. This was a time-consuming process, and so he had to endure.
BOOM, RUMBLE!
Outside, they could hear Wu Yu dodging everywhere desperately. His body seemed to be starting to char.
They burst out laughing.
As expected.
"That fool. He didn’t listen to advice. Serves him right. When the immortal design bests him, it’s hard to say if he’ll even come out alive."
"Indeed. And of course. There were many who turned a deaf ear just like he did. Thunder Borer Immortal King met with the same fate."
"Thunder Borer Immortal King was in a much better position. He stood a chance. This one’s just a joke, through and through. My jaw will drop if he even gets out alive."
Even Xue Fu Immortal Lord’s mood lifted after vaguely spotting Wu Yu’s desperate situation. Now that there was someone being shamed more, it drew attention away from her.
But unbeknownst to them, Wu Yu could still hold on. His body continued to regenerate after it was broken down. The might of the Unvanquishable Victorious Fighting Buddha Realm had built layer after layer of world upon his body. He could continue to adapt, to breakthrough, and to preserve his self.
The rest was up to the Spirit Penetration Art. Wu Yu had already used his best technique and all his available brainpower. He was searching as hard as he could for the breakpoint of the immortal design, while his physical body tried to hold on and buy time. Of course, he hoped that he could find the way to break it before his body crumbled.
Time passed, and Wu Yu continued to dodge. He was not yet dead, and not yet forced out. The spectators’ expressions slowly began to change. They had an odd feeling about it all. How could a mere immortal lord hold on for so long!
Could it be that this guy truly had some skills? Could he really understand immortal designs?
Xue Fu Immortal Lord was a little nervous now as well. She did not understand how this could happen.
And it seemed like Wu Yu was getting more and more relaxed by the moment.
However at this moment, there was a huge change! Amidst their curiosity, there was a huge rumble, and someone flew out. They saw that the charred body was Wu Yu indeed.
They laughed themselves hoarse.
"Not bad that he stayed alive."
"I thought he actually had something up his sleeve."
"30,000 spirit ascension pills, hey? Where did that guy get them? An ordinary Immortal Lord Realm cultivator would be considered rich with just one."
"What a waste!"
Seeing Wu Yu scorched and on his back, they rejoiced in his misfortune. However, Wu Yu stood up very quickly, to their shock. Besides, he seemed to be recovering very quickly. Luo Pin had actually been quite confident in his abilities, and was surprised at his failure. She consoled him: "It’s fine if you can’t get it. Perhaps there’s something more suited to you."
"Alright." Wu Yu nodded, a little dispirited. He did not wish to stay here. Together with Luo Pin, the two of them left, sent off by jeering laughter.
"Prancing clown." Xue Fu Immortal Lord scolded him inside her heart. She turned to Green Flame Immortal King: "Husband, should we try again?"
Green Flame Immortal King’s eyes were afire. He was clearly not satisfied. After a while, he said through clenched teeth: "Cultivate here, and try again when I’m in peak condition!"
The last time, he had been close. He was not satisfied. If 60,000 spirit ascension pills could gain this treasure, then it would still be worth it.
Actually 60,000 spirit ascension pills could buy something very decent, but he had his eye on the Thunder Flame Immortal Emperor’s Celestial Pillar. He had set his heart on it, and could not resist it much longer.
As for Wu Yu, Luo Pin turned concernedly to him as they left Mystic Sun Emperor’s Pagoda. "Slinking off just like that, it’s not your style at all."
As Wu Yu came out, he shed off all his damaged flesh with a flourish. Underneath was blushing, healthy skin. He grinned. "Of course it isn’t. How could I let that fortune go to waste? I came out because I found the solution."
"Why didn’t you solve it then, if you found the solution?" Luo Pin asked, puzzled.
"That’s because I need your help."
"Me? How can I help you?"
Wu Yu chuckled. "Rest a while. I’ll keep you in suspense. We will return in 10 days."
"Asking for a beating?!"
He said rest, in order to avoid suspicion. After all, he had left in an injured state. If he bounced back in, in the peak of health, it was sure to raise eyebrows. Therefore, Wu Yu resisted the temptation for 10 days. As he returned to Mystic Sun Emperor’s Pagoda, it was just in time to see a charred figure sent flying.
Lo and behold, it was Green Flame Immortal King. Coincidentally, this guy had also tried a second time, although he had failed. Everyone was looking sympathetically at Green Flame Immortal King. A waste of 60,000 spirit ascension pills, and serious injuries. A tragedy.......
Xue Fu Immortal Lord was looking forlorn as well, weeping uselessly by his side.
Wu Yu’s arrival had attracted quite some attention. After all, he had caused quite a stir the last time.
However, he came alone this time, without Luo Pin by his side.
Those present recognized him immediately.
"Isn’t that the immortal lord who challenged previously? The one who held on for fairly long?"
"Yes, that’s him. He must have been really lucky to hold on that long."
"Seems like there’s something different about him this time? Why do I feel like he’s become more feminine this time? A little effeminate?"
They all had their suspicions about a change in Wu Yu. And yet the moment Wu Yu entered, he immediately charged to the immortal design without even a glance at Green Flame Immortal King. In a flash, he again threw out 30,000 spirit ascension pills and entered the immortal design. The immortal design, just ebbing from the last challenge, flared to life again!
"Impossible!"
"How did this guy get so many Spirit Ascension Pills! He’s really loaded!"
"Probably has an immortal king-caliber elder in the family, and probably a high-ranking one."
"Loaded or not, no one unloads like this! What a waste......"
As they were gossiping among themselves, Wu Yu had already started to deal with the immortal design.
In Wu Yu’s hand, the Sea God’s Halberd of Eternal Night appeared. He had actually mastered it, and could control its heavenly rule power. In a flash, the aquatic power joined in the fray. The entire immortal design had now become a sea of eternal night.
How could Wu Yu use the Sea God’s Halberd of Eternal Night?
It was not because he had devoured Luo Pin, but rather than Luo Pin had used the Heavenly Dragon Unification Mystique, and entered his bloodline. This was a fairly powerful Mystique, and rare throughout the Heavenly Domain. Perhaps only those like the All Amalgamating Cat had it. It was precisely because Luo Pin had yet to master it fully that Wu Yu had to act quickly!
The last time, Wu Yu had discovered through the Spirit Penetration Art that fire and lightning would not be able to destroy this immortal design.
Mystic Sun Immortal Emperor was a canny one. Ordinarily, those that wanted the Thunder Flame Immortal Emperor’s Celestial Pillar would be affiliated with either fire, lightning, or even both. Such a person would be hard pressed to deal with the Bipolar Dragon Falcon Immortal design. Only water could break it, but paradoxically, those with water-affiliation heavenly rule power would not take this challenge.
Of course, not any water-based heavenly rule power would do. However, the cold and dark power of the Sea God’s Halberd of Eternal Night, imbued in Wu Yu and executed with sufficient ability, stood a fairly good chance of breaking it. With Luo Pin’s fusion, he was stronger than he had ever been before!
"Break!"
Finally, he charged the Sea God’s Halberd of Eternal Night with Violent Art, hacking down on the immortal design. Finally, Wu Yu had broken the immortal design!
Success!
