Chapter 1381: Lust and Hatred

"Our little brother will definitely become someone of great status in the sky palaces. We are so fortunate to be able to know him. We’ll be blessed for generations!"

Xu Zidong marveled at seeing this battle.

They were so in awe that they could only gasp at the battle ensuing outside!

"Impossible! Impossible!" The Gu Qiang Immortal Lord’s body was covered in gashes! His body was already going numb, and he had scarcely managed to deal out a few cuts, landing ineffectively on Wu Yu’s dense, black-scale armor.

In return, Wu Yu’s sword qi ran rampant in his body!

"How can an immortal beast have a physical body even stronger than the Primeval Mighty Miracle God Tribe!?" The Gu Qiang Immortal Lord’s face was the very picture of horror. From the start of the battle until now, his autonomous realm power had surpassed Wu Yu’s, but still he had been beaten. Ordinary 9-realm immortal lords were far from his match.

But Wu Yu was currently beating him in his own specialty!

"Die!"

He again flung his Scintillating King Axe, more fervently, using stronger spirit designs.

"Ultimate Sky Emperor’s Annihilation Immortal Design!"

The Scintillating King Axe had at least 800 million spirit designs, more than the Floating Dreams Sword. The power that exploded forth from it was formidable. Everything in the area was completely wrecked, and both objects and space itself were ravaged!

"Die now!"

This was his final burst of rage! Being shut down completely by Wu Yu had driven him mad. His ego was completely crushed!

But the response was Wu Yu’s coldness!

Wu Yu had tolerated him for long enough. This guy was difficult to deal with. He had frustrated all attempts to kill him so far. But at such a time, Wu Yu saw his chance!

"Blink Slayer Design!"

This time, Wu Yu added the Violent Art behind it, further boosting his physical strength. Although the Ultimate Sky Emperor’s Annihilation Immortal Design had been used, it was mostly nullified by the Time Warp Immortal Design, so not much power spilled out.

At this time, Wu Yu rushed into the immortal design. The Gu Qiang Immortal Lord inhaled sharply. He had been so sure that the Scintillating King Axe’s design would rend Wu Yu, but at the critical moment, it was suddenly warped. His multiple attacks fell apart, brushing past Wu Yu’s sides!

But Wu Yu was unaffected by time. It was all within his control. The Gu Qiang Immortal Lord’s anger had caused him to lose his cool, and Wu Yu’s Violent Art-boosted attack sent the Scintillating King Axe flying. Wu Yu appeared before the thunderstruck Gu Qiang Immortal Lord and smashed his immortal spirit world nucleus into pieces!

"Nooo!"

Before he died, his anguished howls of frustration and despair rang out.

His final look of disbelief was all too familiar to Wu Yu. Many who had looked down on him had looked just the same when he finally killed them.

He was used to it.

However, he was still quite happy to defeat such a strong opponent today. He was probably the strongest in the Great Void Immortal Realm.

He had not spent long in the sky palaces, but he had already crossed three great cultivation realms. Although the Great Void Immortal Realm and eternal immortal emperor status were the ultimate goal for immortals, his speed was still extraordinarily quick. The Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast’s devouring abilities were awesome enough. Paired with a marvelous destinable immortal treasure like the Floating Dreams Pagoda, the result was incredible!

Within the Floating Dreams Pagoda, the Ancient Ink Camp saw the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord’s fall. Xu Zidong had wanted to tell Wu Yu it might be better to leave him alive, but the deed was already done.

"Wu Yu is truly amazing."

"We didn’t know that he had reached such a level."

"This guy is a walking miracle."

"...."

Many more of them were rendered speechless, because they knew that Wu Yu was a monster beyond description - an anomaly that would not even appear in millions of years.

In any case, they all saw clearly that Wu Yu had killed the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord.

"Wu Yu, you’ve offended the Primeval Mighty Miracle God Tribe. That’s not good... if the Primeval Mighty Miracle God finds you...." Xu Zidong was worried, thinking of the Primeval Mighty Miracle God behind the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. He was a great general of the Jade Emperor!

Wu Yu smiled. "Brothers and sister, do not worry. I will handle things. You all rest."

He sealed off the Floating Dreams Pagoda, because next he would devour. The slightest trace might lead the Primeval Mighty Miracle God Tribe to him. Therefore, he would have to devour his vanquished foe cleanly. His huge body had a large amount of physical essence. Besides replenishing his own strength, Wu Yu shifted a large amount of energy to his one million doppelgangers, allowing them to continue evolving!

In the body of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, he made short work of the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord. Wu Yu was not too interested in his memories. After all, 9-realm immortal lords were of limited help to him. Unless he could devour an immortal king, but that would be difficult....

He stowed the Scintillating King Axe and even found two Marks of an Immortal King in his Sumeru Pouch. One was a fourth-grade Mark, the other a fifth-grade Mark. They were of decent quality, and Wu Yu put them in his Sumeru Pouch. He could give them to others. These were of great void immortal treasure-level, and would always be in demand.

After this was settled, he tidied up the scene, clearing it of all traces. And then he shrank himself with the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, mounted his Somersault Cloud, and left at speed, vanishing in an instant.

The gateway to hell was still there, and the 100 clones of Wu Yu were still revolving in there. But Wu Yu had no way of making the clones stronger; after all, the 10,000 Levels of Hell were too far, and he could not make them return either.

Of course, these 100 clones were nothing compared to his 1 million doppelgangers.

"I saw it."

Suddenly, he heard the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s voice.

She had come awake again.

Wu Yu halted, sending out his clones ahead. He entered the Floating Dreams Pagoda. The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was tightly bound there, unable to move. She was looking at Wu Yu in desperation.

"What did you see?" Wu Yu asked. Actually, Wu Yu knew. He had not wanted to let the Ancient Ink Camp worry, and so had opened the vision within the Floating Dreams Pagoda when he had fought. She had probably come to during that time.

"I saw you kill the brother of the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord." The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord lifted her head. Her blatant fear and desperation could not mar the divine beauty of her features.

Wu Yu stood before her, looking deep into her eyes. "That, you should not have seen. If you did not know that I was Wu Yu, I might have released you after I was done playing. You know too much now. I cannot possibly let you leave alive."

The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s eyes darted about desperately, clouded by a millennium of numbness. She was fuzzy-headed, and could only laugh. "My mother is mighty. All I can say is that you will not fare well if you kill me. She is no kind soul. You cannot even begin to imagine what your fate will be, because you cannot imagine how much she loves me."

What would happen to him if he killed her?

Wu Yu had never thought about that before, because he was only thinking of ways that would not kill her. If she died, Nangong Wei’s hopes would die with her.

Therefore, he laughed it off and did not reply. As for the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord, Wu Yu was not worried. She already knew a lot, and knowledge of the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord did not make a difference.

Flames smouldered in the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s eyes. She stared at Wu Yu, trying to read him. "I don’t believe it."

"What don’t you believe?" Wu Yu asked.

"I don’t believe that a mortal can kill the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord in just a mere few centuries. This is unheard of in the history of the sky palaces. I don’t believe it!"

Because she had Nangong Wei’s memories, she knew how old Wu Yu was.

As for Xu Zidong and the others, they would never guess.

"I have this time warping destinable immortal treasure. 100 times the time."

"Still, that is less than 10,000 years. That’s impossible in the sky palaces!"

Wu Yu laughed. "And what are you going to do about it? I’m better than you. Even though you are the Provenance Phoenix Empress’ daughter, you’re not fit to shine my shoes."

The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had no comeback to that. At first, she thought that Wu Yu had used some trick to be able to imprison her. But now he had even defeated the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord, sans tricks. He was truly strong.

Looking at him, the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord suddenly thought, "I had thought he was the ordinary Hundred Thousand Swords Immortal Lord, who had claimed me and done wicked things to me for 1,000 years. But this person is actually a genius, one never seen before in the sky palaces. He even surpasses the children of the immortal emperors, and his looks and personality are all extremely attractive. I guess he’s a match for me...."

She blushed, chastising herself for how wanton she was. No matter how excellent he was, he had taken her by force, and the answer for that was death. Just because he was a genius, and not some useless, middle-aged immortal lord, that did not absolve him from his crimes.

"But he clearly likes someone else. Why would he do this to me? He is a player with no self-control! Wretched thing!"

Her heart was aflutter.

She was torn between love and hate for this cool youth, who had imprisoned her for a thousand years. Her heart was drawn to him, and her lust began to rise. Unbeknownst to her, this was because Wu Yu had just devoured, and his immortal spirit was close to the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast in form. Although the Ruyi Jingu Bang was suppressing it, the impulse to procreate was strong within him, and Wu Yu oozed sex appeal right now. That was why she was having so many stray thoughts.
