Chapter 1701: A Brave Victory
Chapter 1701: A Brave Victory
As Wu Yu turned into the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, the Mettle Sky immortal emperors cried out. Was this not the form that Wu Yu had used to defeat Memory Star Immortal Emperor back at his initiation?
Perhaps this was Wu Yu’s strongest form. Although they still did not know if it was enough to beat Yang Qiang.
Even at this point in the battle, the black-robed Yang Qiang showed no sign of fatigue. He cut a chilling stance, his Howling Celestial Dog Tyrant calm by his side. He looked very confident about this battle.
"Go."
At his command, Tyrant bounded out again!
Previously, Wu Yu had not been able to take them down, and Yang Qiang was confident that this time he could take Wu Yu down. The win would be his.
The Howling Celestial Dog barked as it clashed against the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast. Their devouring powers clashed!
Tyrant’s devouring ate space. It could devour all energy within a space, leaving a void behind that threw the continuum into chaos. This was a formidable attack even against immortal emperors, and very difficult to deal with.
However, in the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast form, Wu Yu’s devouring heavenly rule was at its peak. It devoured the Howling Celestial Dog’s devouring power, leading to a bizarre outcome.
The void was thoroughly churned up now, but with a roar, Wu Yu’s Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast form had crushed Tyrant!
Originally, Tyrant’s space devouring attack was its strongest move. Together with Yang Qiang, it could hamper an immortal emperor to the point where he could even take down a second tier immortal emperor.
But now, Wu Yu’s devouring power had triumphed, and Tyrant was crushed, whimpering as it lay unable to move.
Seeing the situation, Yang Qiang waved his Heaven’s Ruin Painted Halberd, and also activated his Eye of Destruction.
Not just the Eye of Destruction, but his Eye of Punishment and Eye of Condemnation were also used simultaneously.
It seemed like the entire Giant Astral Prison was swallowed up in his barrage. Many of the immortal emperors present gave an involuntary shiver!
As for Wu Yu, he stood unflinching against the Mystique.
He turned the frenzied gaze of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast on it. Heavenly rule powers surging from all over him, he swelled to his greatest size with the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth.
"Violent Art!"
Devouring heavenly rule whirled around him, devouring up all of the void and creating a vortex.
In the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast form, Wu Yu relied completely on devouring heavenly rule as he moved to meet Yang Qiang’s composite heavenly rule.
The next moment, unprecedented strength exploded on the field. A vortex of pure energy sucked Wu Yu, Yang Qiang, and Tyrant all in.
Everyone froze, craning their necks in fascination. The battle was in the endgame now. Who would be the final winner?
The energy slowly faded.
Left before their eyes was Wu Yu, in the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast form. The Heaven Devouring Avatar was covered in wounds, and there was not an inch of uninjured flesh left on him.
Still, Wu Yu was standing!
On the other side was Yang Qiang, in an even worse state than Wu Yu. He had been badly torn up by the energy vortex, and his black clothes ripped away. He himself had fainted.
Howling Celestial Dog Tyrant had probably returned back, unable to tank the vortex.
The outcome was clear, and drew gasps and exclamations of amazement from the spectators. Many had stood up in sheer disbelief.
Wu Yu won?
"The winner of this battle is Wu Yu!"
After Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor ascertained that Yang Qiang had fainted, he finally made the announcement.
There was delight in his eyes. After all, Wu Yu was his junior brother and a disciple of the Patriarch Bodhi. He was definitely rooting for him.
Besides, Yang Qiang and Li Tianji were immortal emperor descendants, and had always looked down on mortal-born immortals. Wu Yu’s victory here was a sound slap to their faces.
The cold killer Yang Qiang was out cold.
Wu Yu was also grievously injured. The final outburst between the two had been almost more than he could handle. Luckily, his Invincible Vajra Body had held on through the last wave, sustained by his force of will.
If not for all the trials and ordeals that he had been through before, he would probably have fained earlier than Yang Qiang had.
And the victor of this battle would have been Yang Qiang.
Wu Yu returned to human form, walking towards Luo Pin. He turned to look one last time at Yang Qiang, an opponent whose ability was worth respecting.
He had won only by a mere advantage in his ability to withstand pain. Otherwise, both might have been knocked out.
Still, a win was a win.
Wu Yu could stand the pain, he remained standing, and it was his win.
If this was a fight for real, then it would be too easy for Wu Yu to kill an unconscious Yang Qiang. That was how the battle was decided.
The crowd exploded, cheering Wu Yu’s name.
Not a single one of Patriarch Bodhi’s disciples had imagined that Wu Yu would stand as the final victor of the Immortal Emperor Trials.
Not even Memory Star Immortal Emperor, who regarded Wu Yu highly. He had mused over the Patriarch Bodhi’s decision for a long time, but to think that his intent was for Wu Yu to win...... He was taken well and truly by surprise.
Wu Yu luxuriated in the cheers and applause, returning to Luo Pin’s side to hug her fiercely.
Over at Yang Qiang’s side, True Lord Erlang came personally to escort him back and recuperate.
True Lord Erlang kept his face masked of emotion. Yet, it required no brilliance to deduce that he could not possibly be very happy that his son had lost to Wu Yu.
The Four Heavenly Kings and Primeval Mighty Miracle God looked at each other, mouths agape.
They had been looking forward to Yang Qiang finishing off Wu Yu, but after the epic battle it had been Yang Qiang who was unconscious on the floor, and Wu Yu the winner!
If this had been a real fight, Yang Qiang would be dead.
The huge reversal was more than they could comprehend.
When had the brat Wu Yu become so strong?
10,000 years ago, when Wu Yu had accidentally killed Mo Liyin, he had to fuse with the Primordial Immortal Dragon first.
"Based on what he has shown today, he could defeat Mo Liyin easily!"
The Dhrtarastra said, flabbergasted. He knew his own brother Mo Liyin well - a second tier immortal emperor who could not compare to Yang Qiang.
"Didn’t the brat spend 10,000 years in the Heavenly Devil Battlefield? How could he have improved from it instead?"
This was something that many could not understand!
The Heavenly Devil Battlefield was pain. Forget cultivation, even surviving it was an ordeal that not many could bear for 1000 years, or even 100 years. Wu Yu had been inside for 10,000 years, and he had not only avoided deproving, but ended up improving?
How could such a freak exist?!
Even now, they did not suspect that the Patriarch Bodhi had pulled any trick, because his impartiality was unquestionable. He could not have given Wu Yu any easy way out, or he could simply have left the Everlasting Battlefield privilege to Wu Yu, and not bothered with the Immortal Emperor Trials.
The Dhrtarastra found that he understood Wu Yu less and less as the days passed. This was hard to accept.
He was an old hand, an immortal emperor who had been walking the sky palaces for tens of thousands of years more than Wu Yu had!
And yet he could not read the boy......
There were more unhappy faces in the spectator stands, including Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress, Nezha, and Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord. Their children had all come to compete, and they had taken it for granted that one of them would end up the winner.
But it was Wu Yu who had taken the win!
They were absolutely furious.
All of the immortal emperors who had brought their descendants were looking sour-faced. The rest of the crowd was cheering, but how could they be happy?
On the contrary, Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning, and Marshal Tian You felt a little better. If Wu Yu had even defeated the likes of Yang Qiang and Li Tianji, then their children like Lei Tianyuan and Zhou Niancang losing was not that much of a shame either.
"Congratulations, junior brother Wu. You actually won it. Your senior brothers are very happy for you!"
Memory Star Immortal Emperor, Complete Fall Immortal Emperor, Memory Space Immortal Emperor, and many others came crowding over to congratulate him, beaming broadly.
"Especially that battle against Li Tianji - stupendous! You almost got the guy to kill himself! Wooh! See the fate for being an arrogant berk?"
Memory Space Immortal Emperor was relatively young, and he often spoke his mind without censoring.
Of course, now that Li Tianji and Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li had already left, it did not matter much that he said something like this. Besides, the immortal emperors were not going to be listening to every single conversation.
Immortal Emperor Trials, first.
Wu Yu clenched his fist, resolve in his eyes. The greatest transformation awaited him.
Could he really become an immortal emperor in Everlasting Battlefield?
