Chapter 1612: The Instant Counter

The five demonic emperors’ first attack was completely evaded by both Wu Yu and Wu Jun. They weren’t happy about that.

The demonic emperors were surprised when the pair appeared at the other side of the white jade platform. They immediately knew that Wu Yu had picked up another trick that could be used to defend himself.

"But it’s impossible for them to escape for long within such a small area. If we join forces, they’re not our match!" Dignified Lava Beast crowed.

Previously, he had fought Wu Yu one on one before, but he had not been able to keep up in the mists.

And if he was alone now, he might not dare to fight Wu Yu. After all, defeat here meant death. There was no escape. Either be killed, or be thrown out into the deadly elements.

Everyone could sense the wind, chill, fire, and lightning raging around the white jade platform!

The attacks of the demonic emperors had missed, flying out of the white jade platform and vanishing into the elements without so much as a spark. The immortal kernels had completely absorbed them.

"Keep it up! That punk can’t hide forever! Where’s he gonna go? Out there?" Celestial Meteor bawled. All five again attacked, their different elemental powers surging forth!

Wu Yu continued to keep calm, holding thoughts of survival foremost in his mind.

"Chronowarp Globe!"

He used his sixth heavenly rule, chronowarp heavenly rule, and extended it to cover the entire white jade platform, the five demonic emperors included!

In the crystal coffin, he thought he had mastered it. But no matter how much practice he had, it was ultimately different in the heat of real battle.

However, the chronowarp globe extended out, and the movements of the demonic emperors seemed to retard as they turned to him. He had more breathing room to dodge now.

Wu Jun stuck close by, unaffected thanks to Wu Yu’s manipulations. He could also feel the demonic emperors’ slowing.

He had no time to consider how this was happening, but continued to dodge attacks alongside Wu Yu.

This was also a narrow miss, but better than the last time. They were getting used to it now, but their opponents were adapting accordingly as well.

"Dodging and dodging eh? Let’s see how you deal with this one!" The five demonic emperors roared. Again they moved, but now their attacks were focused in different directions, each one taking up a section.

The five demonic emperors covered the entire white jade platform with their attacks!

No matter where Wu Yu and Wu Jun dodged, they would definitely have to tank one attack.

The two were forced towards the weakest attack.

It was a harrowing fight. Wu Yu had yet to make chronowarp heavenly rule truly his own. It did not yet feel like an extension of his body, and was clunky to wield.

On the narrow white jade platform, they dodged and weaved. Sometimes they would tank one attack. Heavenly rule power flew back and forth, and the pair were constantly on the back foot against the concerted effort of the five.

If this situation kept up, they would soon be worn down and killed!

Wu Yu was doing fine. With Fulgurating Shadows from his Somersault Cloud, he could still hold on for a while, but Wu Jun was tiring quickly. He did not have as many agility-based techniques as Wu Yu had. He was starting to feel the strain of tanking the blows as well.

"Into the Floating Dreams Pagoda first!"

Wu Yu made the decisive call to shelter Wu Jun within for now.

Wu Jun felt a pang of shame. He was supposed to be here to help Wu Yu, but now Wu Yu had grown, and he was the limiting factor.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. He was on the verge of giving out, and was no help to Wu Yu. Might as well stay safe inside the Floating Dreams Pagoda, and enable Wu Yu to work his best magic.

Wu Jun leaped into the Floating Dreams Pagoda without hesitation.

On the white jade platform, only Wu Yu was left, standing against the five demonic emperors!

But at this time, Wu Yu was getting the hang of his chronowarp heavenly rule.

He continued to watch the entire field. He knew that his chances of winning were infinitesimally small. He had to finish off one of them first, to break the field wide open.

But with the five united, Wu Yu was pressed too hard to attack any one. If he forced the issue, the other four would end him.

"Seems like I’ll have to call on some other strength!"

Wu Yu continued to dodge with his Fulgurating Shadows, sped up further by the chronowarp globe. He began to watch his adversaries for weaknesses. The slightest slip up, and he would pounce without mercy.

Although the demonic emperors felt victory was in their grasp, but they proceeded cautiously, presenting a seamless offense against Wu Yu.

United, there was vindictive triumph etched across their faces. They had been tricked and snubbed by this kid for far too long. Finally, this white jade platform was the stage where they would take him down.

Oh how good they felt, seeing him flee desperately before them!

Their synergy grew more and more sublime, and Wu Yu was running out of space to dodge. Besides, they were getting used to Fulgurating Shadows’ movement, and could restrict his evasion to a certain extent.

They were already very close to ending this fight.

But at this crucial moment, Wu Yu realized that Unending Demonic Emperor was standing in a dangerous place on the edge of the white jade platform. A few more steps, and he would be gone with the elements!

Unending Demonic Emperor had done so in order to coral Wu Yu further. He would cut off a portion of Wu Yu’s escape route. And yet, this was exactly what Wu Yu was waiting for.

"Die!"

The dodging and ducking Wu Yu chose this moment to bare his fangs. He rushed towards Unending Demonic Emperor.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Doppelganger heavenly rule!"

"Golden eyes heavenly rule!"

Wu Yu immediately used both heavenly rule powers in his chronowarp globe. His clones flooded the entire white jade platform, and they all used doppelganger heavenly rule at Unending Demonic Emperor.

Because of how narrow the white jade platform was, the 1 million doppelgangers were unable to fully unleash their doppelganger heavenly rule.

More crucially was golden eyes heavenly rule. Wu Yu had trained golden eyes heavenly rule to perfection. His eyes glowed with golden light, and he beamed it at Unending Demonic Emperor!

Unending Demonic Emperor reacted quickly to Wu Yu’s counter. But within the chronowarp globe, quickly was just a beat slower than usual.

Besides, Wu Yu’s clones had occupied every single empty space on the white jade platform. There was no space for Unending Demonic Emperor to duck into.

In the end, Unending Demonic Emperor could only choose to tank the blow!

"Crepuscular Sea heavenly rule!" Unending Demonic Emperor had not used this move before. It was clearly his trump card.

Wave after wave of black energy rippled out from his body to form a crepuscular sea. It swept out towards Wu Yu’s golden eyes heavenly rule, and the two clashed in midair with a terrible explosion!

The intensity of heavenly rule power on both sides was cranked to a maximum. It was as strong as a 9-heavens immortal king or demon king could produce.

This explosion sent shockwave after shockwave rippling out across the white jade platform. It was so strong that Wu Yu himself could not help but stagger a few zhang backwards.

The same for Unending Crepuscular Sea.

The interaction between their two heavenly rule powers blew them all apart, and Unending Demonic Emperor was sent flying out of the white jade platform.

Wu Yu’s clones had occupied the whole of the white jade platform, and Unending Demonic Emperor had no immediate place to return to!

He tumbled backwards, and was immediately surrounded by the immortal kernels outside.

Soul Eater Wind, Death Valley Flame, Eternal Night Frost, and Karma’s Lightning. They compounded and swarmed Unending Demonic Emperor. In one vicious crackle, he was gone.

In one final desperate move, Unending Demonic Emperor had transformed into his Unending Crepuscular Sea true form in his final moment. But he had not yet completed his transformation before the immortal kernels finished him off.

Unending Crepuscular Sea’s true form had only appeared for a brief flash, and then he was devoured, gone for good.

Wu Yu was in danger as well. In order to deal with Unending Demonic Emperor, he had to accept the attacks of all four other demonic emperors.

Luckily, his Invincible Vajra Body was at the Eternal and Indomitable Vajra Realm, or he would not have been much better off than the Unending Demonic Emperor. Even so, he was badly injured, although clearly doing much better compared to the complete eradication he had dished out to Unending Demonic Emperor.

Unending Demonic Emperor’s death cooled the other four demonic emperors down immediately. They all repositioned, afraid of making another dangerous move.

They were afraid that Wu Yu would do something reckless and send them off the white jade platform!
