Heaven's Devourer Chapter 1689: Sky River Godly Sword

Chapter 1689: Sky River G.o.dly Sword

His opponent was Huangfu Yin, the daughter of Central Star Subduing Earthly Virtue True Lord, who was as strong as a first tier immortal emperor.

Among the thirty-two remaining immortals in the third round, Huangfu Yin was probably one of the weakest. Even if she had not encountered Wu Yu, her chances of advancing further were slim.

However, there was almost no one who would admit defeat before a battle in the Immortal Emperor Trials.

Huangfu Yin stepped into the battleground gracefully and stood opposite of Wu Yu.

"I'm Huangfu Yin and will be seeking your guidance. Hopefully, you could show me mercy. Otherwise, a weak lady like me wouldn't be able to endure."

A smile appeared across Huangfu Yin's beautiful face and she was courteous with Wu Yu.

Nonetheless, Wu Yu recalled Huangfu Yin wasn't as courteous when Li Tianji was humiliating Spirit Sword Immortal King. In fact, she even clapped and cheered with Peach Cloud Fairy and others.

She was also a immortal emperor descendant and naturally stood with Li Tianji and others who looked down on those who cultivated from the mortal domain.

"Be careful."

Wu Yu wasn't going to underestimate her. After leaving a reminder, golden light burst forth from his eyes. Heavenly rule power from his golden eyes whizzed towards Huangfu Yin!

Just as Huangfu Yin recognized the situation and wanted to escape, she felt the golden light came too quickly. It was as though his speed was restricted and couldn't avoid Wu Yu's attack at all!

This was the effect of the time heavenly rule!

Silently, Wu Yu had released the chronowarp globe to affect the flow of time within the s.p.a.ce. In his eyes, Huangfu Yin's speed was reduced by over half and there's no way she could have reacted in time.

All she did in time was to unleash her epochal immortal treasure. That was a colorful damask band and it wrapped around her body, protecting her tightly once it was released.

When Wu Yu's golden eyes heavenly rule clashed into her, that colorful damask band neutralized the attack for her. However, she was still knocked back forcefully by the golden lights of Wu Yu's golden eyes heavenly rule and out of the battleground.

"Wu Yu wins and will advance to the next round!" Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor made an announcement again to declare Wu Yu as the victor of this battle.

He was ecstatic and undoubtedly pleased with Wu Yu's performance.

He's the first generation disciple of Patriarch Bodhi and had seen numerous Immortal Emperor Trials. However, there wasn't once he felt so satisfying as the current iteration.

Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor had also cultivated from the mortal domain and didn't have any strong backing. Although he became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, he could still recall his cultivation path vividly. Each step was arduous and couldn't be compared with the favourable conditions that immortal emperor descendants enjoyed.

All along, the Immortal Emperor Trials could almost be regarded as prepared for the immortal emperor descendants. Rarely was there an immortal king, who cultivated from the mortal domain, clinching the eventual champion and receiving the rights to enter the Everlasting Battlefield.

Yet, with Wu Yu's current performance, there's a good chance he might be able to achieve it.

Those that were in his way were just Yang Qiang, Li Tianji and a few exceptional immortal emperor descendants who weren't impossible to defeat.

Before Huangfu Yin could understand what happened, she was knocked out of the battleground shortly after she released her epochal immortal treasure to protect herself. Although she was disappointed, she was furious at Wu Yu's boorish behaviour.

"He's just a punk who cultivated from the mortal domain. How dare he treat me so crudely...... I hope I can see how Li Tianji and others teach him a lesson!" snorted Huangfu Yin.

Although she had lost to Wu Yu, she still looked down on him.

Wu Yu didn't care how she saw him.

After he returned, he continued watching the ensuing battles. Among those experts that he paid attention to, none of them encountered any strong opponents. Just like his battle against Huangfu Yin, their battles were a one-sided affair.

After the first three rounds, the crowd had a better understanding on the power scale of the partic.i.p.ants.

The final sixteen were determined and the race to the quarter-finals would be key.

Everyone's attention was on the remaining sixteen young immortal kings. Among the sixteen partic.i.p.ants, Wu Yu was the only immortal that had cultivated from the mortal domain.

As for the remaining fifteen partic.i.p.ants, all of them had strong backings in the sky palaces and were descendants of other immortal emperors!

Although those eliminated might not be weak, the weak would never have reached this stage.

"The fourth round begins!"

Following Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor's announcement, the Wheel of Taichi spun again and lit up to pair the particiants.

"The first partic.i.p.ant to advance to the quarter-finals! Yang Qiang!"

Yang Qiang was the first to battle and he defeated another immortal emperor descendant to advance to the quarter-final. He was still as emotionless and the Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd he used was still as glamorous.

In this battle, he wasn't pushed to use more tricks. Just like before, he crushed the Mystiques and heavenly rule powers of Happy Fleece Fairy and advanced to the quarter-finals in overwhelming fas.h.i.+on.

"The second partic.i.p.ant to advance to the quarter-final. Li Tianji!"

Li Tianji followed closely behind. He also faced an immortal emperor descendant but wasn't as arrogant as before. After using some of his Mystiques, he defeated his opponent.

During the battle, he constantly cast provocative gazes at Wu Yu.

Although the battle concerned the spot in the quarter-finals, Li Tianji's attention still wasn't solely on the battle. Instead, he was looking at Wu Yu and Luo Pin. Everytime he saw Luo Pin, desires and admiration filled his eyes. And when he turned to Luo Pin, hatred and contempt were apparent.

In his eyes, considering Wu Yu's status and strength, he wasn't deserving of someone as beautiful as Luo Pin!

"Luo Pin will belong to me eventually! Wu Yu! If you are a man, make it into the quarter-finals. I'll be waiting for you!"

Just before Li Tianji left the battleground, he smirked and threw down the gauntlet to Wu Yu publicly.

Wu Yu didn't respond at all.

He definitely would want to advance into the quarter-final. His opponents were Yang Qiang and Li Tianji and he definitely wouldn't fall before facing them. In fact, he was confident he wasn't going to lose even if he was facing the two hot favorites.

In the next match, the son of Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal, Jiang Taiji, defeated his opponent and moved to the next round.

Jiang Taiji wasn't far from Yang Qiang based on what he had displayed in battle. He was also widely regarded as a favourite to make it into the semi-finals.

For the fourth match of the fourth round, the Wheel of Taichi lit up on the son of Marshal Tian You, Zhou Niancang, before lighting up on Wu Yu.

Wu Yu now knew his opponent for this round.

Zhou Niancang was the son of Marshal Tian You. In the battles earlier, he had displayed strength equivalent to a second tier immortal emperor!

Wu Yu once encountered Marshal Tian You from a far distance away.

In the battle for the Mark of an Immortal King in the Great Void Immortal Path, the Endless River of Stars was the territory of Marshal Tian You. Marshal Tian You's status in the sky palaces was definitely high. Even when compared to True Lord Erlang, he might just be a tad lower.

His son, Zhou Niancang, was naturally gunning for number one in the Immortal Emperor Trials.

"Wu Yu, get down!"

As the son of Marshal Tian You, Zhou Niancang had an unyielding and spontaneous personality. Every action of his resembled a soldier. Donning an amethyst-gold armor and a s.h.i.+ning white sword next to his hips, he shouted at Wu Yu to get down.

"Are you so eager to be eliminated? I'll fulfill your wish then!"

Wu Yu laughed heartily and jumped into the battleground. Zhou Niancang was pretty strong. However, in Wu Yu's eyes, he was merely just another stepping stone before he defeated Yang Qiang and Li Tianji.

"Did winning Lei Tianyuan by luck give you that oversized confidence? It's hard to blame us for seeing mortal-born immortals as short-sighted and just a frog in the well!"

Zhou Niancang drew his s.h.i.+ny white sword and stared at Wu Yu with contempt. He didn't see Wu Yu as a serious threat.

His words instantly drew public outrage.

On the spectating stands, the immortal emperors of Mettle Sky started chanting "Wu Yu". They were p.i.s.sed and were all hoping Wu Yu could defeat Zhou Niancang, letting him know mortal-born immortal weren't pushovers.

"Niancang."

Marshal Tian You recognized the situation. However, he could only cough to remind his son to keep the arrogance in check.

Those words were still fine if he had kept it to himself. Once they were said, it would definitely draw public outrage. He shouldn't make his thoughts too apparent.

"Are we going to fight? Spare me from your nonsense!"

Wu Yu was lazy to carry on verbal altercations and retrieve his Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Although Zhou Niancang was arrogant and looked down on him, his strength was undeniable. At the very least, he wouldn't be any weaker than Lei Tianyuan.

Therefore, Wu Yu had no intention to fight him with ordinary means. Instead, he retrieved his Ruyi Jingu Bang immediately.

Since he was so confident of himself, Wu Yu wanted to use the crudest method to shatter his confidence.

"Sky River G.o.dly Sword, Raged Bifurcating Sky River!"

Zhou Niancang also knew Wu Yu wouldn't be easy to deal with. Therefore, he flashed his s.h.i.+ny white sword from the very start. That was an epochal immortal treasure that gathered the essence of the sky river and made from numerous planets and stars.

Raged Bifurcating Sky River was one of his Mystique. When used in tandem with the Sky River G.o.dly Sword, the momentary explosion of energy was terrorizing. In fact, the surge in energy was even more rampant than when Yang Qiang was using his Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd.

Sky River G.o.dly Sword sliced across the void of Giant Astral Prison, sending sword qi in the form of dazzling white light out. At that moment, it was as though s.p.a.ce was splitted in two halves as the sword qi crashed towards Wu Yu!

He wanted to defeat Wu Yu in a single strike to prove his dominance.

However, Wu Yu swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang and unleashed a golden glow that cut across the void.

"Bedlam of Heaven and Earth!"

Ruyi Jingu Bang crushed the incoming sword light instantly. The golden glow penetrated the s.p.a.ce, descended from the sky and crashed into the Sky River G.o.dly Sword that Zhou Niancang was holding on to.

"Argh!"

Zhou Niancang wailed pitifully. Through the Sky River G.o.dly Sword, he could feel the immense energy from the dazzling golden glow that could have decimated him. He couldn't even hold his Sky River G.o.dly Sword without his hands shaking!

In the first direct clash of their epochal immortal treasure, Zhou Niancang was surprisingly defeated in a single strike!

Terrorizing strength reverberated from the Ruyi Jingu Bang and sent Zhou Niancang flying back.
