Heaven’s Devourer

Chapter 1296: The Primordial Immortal Empire's Counter

Wu Jun, Wu Hao, and Ye Qianning, of course, knew the reason why Wu Yu was inside.

But being laughed at by so many, and even implicating their own people in this, was a very infuriating situation.

They turned inwards, and ignored what everyone else said.

Even Luo Pin was a little irritated.

"Whether immortals or mystical dragons, their fighting and competitive spirit are even stronger ."

She realized this now.

For example, the Sky Chariot Dragon King, who had not been able to win Ye Qianning. He had exhausted every possibility to make the Wu Hao and Wu Jun brothers look bad.

The ingratiating mystical dragons were also sickening to watch.

Looking at the top and bottom of the rankings, it was indeed a risible sight.

"Hey, hey! Someone used their Escape Immortal Design!"

"Who would be incompetent enough to be the first one out? Don't they know how to choose only the criminals they can deal with?"

Actually, as long as one could choose the criminals correctly, there was theoretically no need to use the Escape Immortal Design.

Each Dragon Emperor's Prison stated the strength of each criminal very clearly, and one would have plenty of time to deliberate and calculate.

Unless one was ousted by another competitor, that sort of thing was less frequent at the start. It was more frequent towards the end.

But it would also offend others, and therefore was not a very common phenomenon.

Everyone was looking to see who the first mystical dragon eliminated was!

In a flash of light, the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon appeared, sprawled on the floor. Blood lightning was crackling on her wounds, and she was screaming and rolling on the floor. Divested of Wu Yu's control, the scarlet lightning vanished in a flash, leaving a screaming mess that was the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon.

"It's the Deep Dreams Empire’s Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon!"

The mystical dragons recognized her.

The Deep Dreams Empire’s dragon queen immediately recognized her. She was furious, her face as black as a storm cloud. "Who forced you out? And with such cruel tactics? A criminal, or a competitor?"

The Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon was wailing pitifully, unable to even speak.

"Where is Deep Green?! Didn't he protect you?" Another elder from the Deep Dreams Empire raged. He was probably the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon's father.

Just as he finished speaking, another Escape Immortal Design triggered! It was the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon, whose scales had been burned off. He was seriously wounded, and took ragged breaths after he appeared. He stared blankly at the crowd. They were definitely the first ones out!

The Deep Dreams Empire was in shock, and their expressions were sour. These were their greatest hopes, but they had been eliminated so early. They must have offended some expert.

The Deep Dreams Empire’s dragon queen raged, "Stop whining. A loss is a loss."

The Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon gritted his teeth. He spat angrily in the direction of the Primordial Immortal Empire, "Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen, you must take revenge for us. It was the Primordial Immortal Empire person! He snatched our prey, who was almost dead, and then forced us to use our Escape Immortal Designs! How despicable! He should be thrown out of the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory!"

There was an uproar after hearing that it was the Primordial Immortal Empire who had forced them out! But the Primordial Immortal Empire made up the bottom four!

The Deep Dreams Empire’s dragon queen was on the verge of a breakdown. Being defeated by the Primordial Immortal Empire was humiliating enough, and it smacked of revenge as well. She said tersely, "Was it Ye Xuanyi, Xing Ling, and Yu Manyuan joining forces? What sort of despicable technique did they use to sneak-attack you?"

That was what the mystical dragons thought. But amongst them, only Ye Xuanyi was a 5-Xuan immortal, and the rest were a far cry. It had to be a sneak attack, or some other plot, to force these two mystical dragons out.

As for the goal, it must've been spite for the Deep Dreams Empire’s dragon queen revealing the truth about Wu Yu.

However, to their great surprise, the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon lifted her head and wailed, "It was not them! It was that immortal, Wu Yu! He stole our prey, and even attacked us!"

The uproar vaporized into silence. Everyone looked at each other, and there was an awkward humor hanging in the air. Before long, everyone burst into laughter.

The Sky Chariot Dragon King waved a hand. "Kids, stop kidding. It's meaningless. Speak on. Did you offend someone else but won't dare to say it? It's very common for youngsters to fall out. Out with it, it does not matter. Was it Tian Ming, that little bastard?"

After everyone heard this, they felt like the Sky Chariot Dragon King was speaking the truth. These two must have been beaten out by a stronger person but made Wu Yu the scapegoat because they were afraid of offending that person.

The Deep Dreams Empire’s dragon queen had been given a bad shock, but she was more relieved after hearing the Sky Chariot Dragon King's words. If that were the case, then their pride was still intact.

But the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon shook his head. "Esteemed Sky Chariot Dragon King, it was no one else but Wu Yu! The two of us are not mistaken. It was a single human alone! I did not imagine he would be that strong. He almost killed the two of us.”

These words shut the mystical dragons up, but they no longer laughed.

This was impossible to explain.

If Wu Yu was so strong, why would he be in last place?

Besides, he was still at the Longevity Immortal Realm, and not the Nine Xuan Dao Realm!

Everyone held their breath. Everyone's expressions were a treat to watch.

The Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen recalled that Wu Yu had actually beaten Ye Xuanyi in the Primordial Immortal Empire trials. She had thought it was a lie.

Now it seemed like it was true. After all, Wu Jun was no fool. How could he have been so foolish this time?

As for the Sky Chariot Dragon King, he seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown. The better Wu Yu performed, the more it was a slap to his face. Therefore, it was like he had been slapped by Wu Jun, and his own taunts had backfired on him. A new fire appeared in his eyes.

"Impossible...."

Many people were shaking their heads.

Suddenly, the Sky Will Dragon King asked, "Wu Jun, I heard that this Wu Yu obtained an immortal's legacy in the mortal domain, and it's someone fairly strong. He is being protected by an elite immortal, right?"

With this, they now understood why the Sky Will Dragon King had allowed Wu Yu to participate. So he had been privy to additional information, and had seen Wu Yu in a different light.

Wu Jun had not spoken about it before, but now the chance had come for him to get his own back. "Of course, I myself am unable to confirm it. That immortal is very mysterious, and I cannot confirm who it is. But I can confirm that they are very strong, and unwilling to expose themselves."

Coming from a Hundred Empire Dragon King, "very strong" was a completely different notion.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, especially the Sky Chariot Dragon King and the Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen, whose faces were still burning.

Wu Hao smiled. "If not, how could he be not even a millennium old, but already ascended, and near the Nine Xuan Dao Realm? And even be able to defeat the Nine Xuan Dao Realm cultivators? Some who just can't use their brains can only laugh and jeer inanely."

He had been rubbed raw for a long time, and finally he had gotten a good shot in at the Sky Chariot Dragon King.

As well as everyone who had laughed just now. Wu Hao's words had indeed made them all bitter.

"Who are you talking about, Wu Hao!? You dare mock a Hundred Empire Dragon King?!" The Sky Chariot Dragon King's eyes were spitting fire from his anger.

Wu Hao waved a hand, too lazy to reply. One counterattack was enough. Besides, it was Ye Qianning who had told him to keep quiet….

Wu Jun said, "Sky Chariot Dragon King, do not get too worked up. I daresay that my brother did not mean you."

The brothers were rather bold because they had no choice but to push back against such humiliation. From their youth, the Sky Chariot Dragon King had already set himself against Wu Hao.

Once, Wu Hao was almost beaten to death by the Sky Chariot Dragon King.

This sort of grudge was one that he could not possibly forget.

In the middle of the fight, it was the Sky Will Dragon King who spoke. "This means that Wu Yu's future is very bright indeed."

The Sky Chariot Dragon King said, "True or false, it is not decided yet. Perhaps they’ve fabricated some lie, afraid that we would stop two mortals from continuing their mortal domain tryst. If he is so capable, why would he be in last place on the Giant Purgatory Pillar? I think that he must have used some special trick to persuade these two dragons."

Hearing the Sky Chariot Dragon King's words, the Deep Indigo Sword Feather Dragon and the Deep Green Heartpiercer Dragon felt that it sounded logical!

"Seems likely. In any case, what we saw him use did not look like an immortal's mystique. It might have been some special ancient immortal talisman! Except we did not realize it!"

"I already said it! How could he be so strong?"

This was much more believable. Everyone could also console themselves thus. Against such doubts, Wu Jun did not want to comment more. He stuck by his words. Time would provide the answers.

But the word "tryst" had angered Luo Pin. She was good-natured, but she was fuming now.

"Don't hold it against such idiots," Ye Qianning consoled her.

"No, I will remember it. One day, I will return it to him," Luo Pin said, taking a deep breath.

"Mm." Ye Qianning nodded. Although she knew that it was possible, it was too far away. Luo Pin might have forgotten it by then.

The Deep Dreams Empire Dragon Queen said, "Isn't it forbidden to use immortal talismans? Sky Will Dragon King, aren't Wu Yu's actions illegal? He should be pulled out to be punished!"

Of course, she was unsatisfied!

The Primordial Immortal Empire had given her a slap to the face.

The Sky Will Dragon King said, "The supervising people have found that there was no immortal talisman used in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. Stop blindly guessing. If you're still suspicious, just watch on."

It seemed like the Sky Will Dragon King and the Sky Chariot Dragon King were not on the same side.

Of course, the Sky Will Dragon King had a more enigmatic personality and was difficult to place.

As for the Sky Shadow Dragon Queen, she had not spoken from start to end.

The Sky Chariot Dragon King was not worried. Even if Wu Yu could defeat these two, they were only 6-Xuan immortals.

Ultimately, they could only be considered average on the Giant Purgatory Pillar. Besides, he had already wasted a month. It was not likely that he could even break the bottom 100 in the upcoming time.

He might even be using all sorts of techniques that would burn himself out.

The most glorious one in this trial was still his son, and Wu Yu's transformation could only be considered a little hiccup.
