Chapter 1466: The Growing Power
Currently, Gu Huo Immortal Lord was covered in the crimson Primeval God’s Markings. They looked like fresh blood, constantly coursing through his body like a network of blood vessels!
As Gu Huo Immortal Lord used this skill, Wu Yu could clearly feel that the effects were as strong as Immolate! After Primeval God’s Markings were engraved on his body, Gu Huo Immortal Lord seemed to become a different person.
He was already an immortal lord, and his abilities were not curtailed here. This additional Mystique greatly increased his strength, exploding forth to allow him to seemingly turn the tables on Wu Yu’s Vengeful Hell Spirits Chakravarti!
After all, he was the son of the Primeval Mighty Miracle God tribe leader, and his legacy bloodline was purest. They could use a technique similar to Wu Yu’s Immolate, and they would not suffer the after-effects that he did!
At this time, Gu Huo Immortal Lord responded by pushing forth violently. Wu Yu’s full strength was unable to hold him back.
Gu Huo Immortal Lord held a deep grudge against Wu Yu. With the enhancement of the Primeval God’s Markings, even Greater Darkness Heaven reached a new level of deadliness! The brutal power sent both Wu Yu and his Vengeful Hell Spirits Chakravarti flying.
Rumble!
Gu Huo Immortal Lord surged up with a terrible sound, his flushed body turning to Wu Yu! His body no longer grew any larger. Instead, it was shrinking rapidly, and soon he was the same size as Wu Yu again. He was more agile now, and he moved with after-traces of scarlet lightning. Gu Huo Immortal Lord’s battle power was already as strong as a 2-Heavens ghostly king under no restrictions!
"I have never been humiliated so badly at the hands of anyone before!"
The towering rage in Gu Huo Immortal Lord’s eyes turned them red, and Primeval God’s Markings had even dyed Greater Darkness Heaven red as well!
Bang bang bang!
Gu Huo Immortal Lord was a specialist in close combat. This was the tradition of their Primeval Mighty Miracle God tribe! At this time, he was purely on the offensive. The massive Greater Darkness Heaven sledgehammer in his hands swung forth with the weight of mountains. The sound alone was deafening!
From his maniacal attitude, his rage and unhappiness were all too clear to see! After all, he was such an important person. How could he let a no-name nobody like Wu Yu mock him? Even his most precious Howling Celestial Dog had been killed. He had raised it from birth!
Although Wu Yu was currently in the guise of White Chalk Ghostly Lord, but he was sure that this was Chifeng Immortal Lord!
Wu Yu had already attracted much attention to his fight. Many who had no hopes of getting the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King decided not to fight in their own mini worlds, turning their full attentions to the show outside. Now it seemed like Gu Huo Immortal Lord had turned the tables on White Chalk Ghostly Lord. Now it was White Chalk Ghostly Lord whose life seemed to be in danger, as he cried out in alarm!
Those who did not know the truth thought this a fight between sky palaces and Hells. Only those that were better known knew that one was an immortal emperor descendant, the other a nameless nobody.
And the convergence of these various circumstances made this battle all the more spectacular and exhilarating! After all, Wu Yu was a ghostly immortal, and had many supporters. Many were worried that he would lose! There were many cheers and calls, except that he could not hear any of them.
"Seems like he’s intent on killing me!"
As they fought, Wu Yu could clearly sense killing intent. Assume a total of 100 percent. If one’s killing intent rose above 50 percent, then they had made up their mind to kill their opponent. In that case, Gu Huo Immortal Lord’s killing intent was at a full 100 percent. After activating Primeval God’s Markings, he would stop at nothing less! He had no intention at all of sparing Wu Yu’s life!
"I was afraid of your father, and only wanted your Rainbow Pearl, but not to kill you. But since you want to kill me, and show me no mercy, even using that Mystique, I have no choice but to Immolate!"
Wu Yu had originally thought that he would save Immolate if he could. If he could defeat his opponent with just his own abilities, that would be ideal! Because once he used Immolate, he would immediately become feeble after the battle. If he burned his opponent but did not devour, he would be unable to face the experts afterwards. Further Immolation would hurt Wu Yu’s life essence, and see him killed or eliminated!
At least here at the 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King, once he used Immolate, there was no turning back!
And his opponent was bent on killing him. The Primeval God’s Markings were very strong, and Greater Darkness Heaven had forced Wu Yu into a corner. Even the Primal Lightning Calabash was cracking. It was unable to hold on for much longer.
"You asked to die. Don’t blame me then." Wu Yu took another hit, and his eyes now blazed with a black flame.
"Keh. Get your mind straight. The one about to die is you."
Gu Huo Immortal Lord used his tribal strength, rooted in ancient history, to cloak his body. There were thousands of after-shadows, and this only made him stronger!
This was also why Gu Huo Immortal Lord was so confident! He already saw Wu Yu’s doom!
Wu Yu naturally knew that he would have to continue roaming the sky palaces after this. To him, killing Mighty Miracle God’s son was much more dangerous than killing the son of White Impermanence. After all, White Impermanence would not be able to easily search the sky palaces for him, but Mighty Miracle God could. He too was wary that there would be unforeseen snags that would trip him up.
But now, he was presented with no other option but kill or be killed. If he did not break his own limits and deal with his opponent with Immolate, then he would be eliminated, and all of his efforts wasted.
"Screw it! Bravery and glory!"
If one did not dare to risk life and limb, how could one ever obtain riches and glory?
As the saying went, no risk, no reward.
He made his decision, and now Wu Yu acted decisively. Just like his fight against Chakravarti Ghostly King, he immolated!
The black flames took hold of his whole body, and blazed fiercely. He looked like a black beast with sinister red eyes. The fierce countenance complemented the black flames.
Whoosh whoosh~
The flames suddenly lengthened, eclipsing the sparkling colors that Gu Huo Immortal Lord was emitting. Black smothered gold, and an icy aura washed over Gu Huo Immortal Lord’s own aggressive aura!
Wu Yu had already reached the maximum extent of Immolate. Since he had made his decision, then he would do it well, and see it through!
Before, it had been Gu Huo Immortal Lord’s wild counter!
And now it was Wu Yu’s turn!
Within the mini world, the black flames swept out like a tide, centered on Wu Yu. They completely swamped the golden mist around Gu Huo Immortal Lord!
Within the flames, Wu Yu stood, his eyes hard. Under the effects of a complete Immolation, his strength had once again surpassed his opponent’s, reaching his highest possible level!
BOOM!
All of his strength welled up before Gu Huo Immortal Lord had reached him!
"Golden Furnaces of Heaven and Earth!"
This Mystique drowned Gu Huo Immortal Lord in the combination of the Furnace of Heaven and Furnace of Earth! Within the furnaces, his adversary was completely torched. The power of the Eyes of Fire and Gold could even blacken and crack the Primeval God’s Markings!
The entire mini world seemed to have become Wu Yu’s Golden Furnaces of Heaven and Earth!
"This White Chalk Ghostly Lord has surpassed himself again!"
"But I never heard of him having this ability. Wasn’t that White-Eyed Ghostly Lord’s ability......"
"This White Chalk Ghostly Lord is White-Eyed Ghostly Lord in disguise? But he just defeated Chakravarti Ghostly King......"
Many were flabbergasted.
They had thought Wu Yu on the verge of losing. Now the situation had turned again!
"Who in the world is this! Why does he have so many skills?!"
As the battle wore on, more and more people were getting suspicious, especially those that Wu Yu had fought directly.
Wu Yu had unbelievable skills now. The immortal lords had not once considered that Gu Huo Immortal Lord would lose. They saw him destroy Wu Yu. Who knew that such a huge turnaround would happen!
Trapped within the Golden Furnaces of Heaven and Earth, Gu Huo Immortal Lord endured a burning, his flesh starting to crumble. He was in a huge rage, flailing with Greater Darkness Heaven. He grew to his maximum size again. He would rush out of the furnace and beat Wu Yu down!
"Just some tickling flames?" He jeered.
"Of course not!" Wu Yu’s own expression was neutral. Still shrouded in black flame, he charged into the Golden Furnaces of Heaven and Earth, appearing before Gu Huo Immortal Lord. Before he even replied, Wu Yu had already moved to close the battle with all his effort!
"Submerged Cloud Seal!"
This was his true killer move. Submerged Cloud Seal rent the void itself! A full tenth of the mini world was destroyed by his voidquake!
Wu Yu had basically ripped the mini world itself apart!
And the centre of the tenth’s locus was Gu Huo Immortal Lord. Still bitterly enduring the furnace’s flames, his world suddenly shattered. It was too sudden, and he had nowhere to escape to. Wu Yu had left him no opportunity!
"That move of yours won’t kill me......" Gu Huo Immortal Lord seemed to have been prepared even for this move! As Wu Yu unleashed Submerged Cloud Seal, he knitted his Primeval God’s Markings together to form a cage that encased him protectively. But suddenly the Primeval God’s Markings were all destroyed!
"Impossible......!" Gu Huo Immortal Lord’s eyes widened. He was panicking now.
But that did not stop the voidquake tearing him apart. Both flesh and immortal spirit were being ripped apart, and there was no counter to this. Gu Huo Immortal Lord, still reeling in shock, lost life and consciousness!
This had happened within the Golden Furnaces of Heaven and Earth as well, and no one else could see clearly!
Of course, Wu Yu had also paid the price for killing him. Immolate had severely compromised his fighting power. He could only devour Gu Huo Immortal Lord, but Gu Huo Immortal Lord was actually only a 9-realm immortal lord, incomparable to the Chakravarti Ghostly King. Therefore, Wu Yu was unable to recover fully, but only about three-quarters. This was a precarious position for him!
