Chapter 1684: Return of Deity and Devil

Li Tianji’s tyrannic words elicited many frowns.

These were inappropriate words in the best of situations, and there were many immortal emperor elders around as well. Not everyone could stomach his despotic attitude.

It was all too clear the extent to which Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li had coddled Li Tianji. He could do whatever he wanted, above all rules and free of all consequences. His grandfather would always be there to clean up behind him.

Against such an overbearing person, who was also harassing Luo Pin, Wu Yu could not possibly take it lying down.

He stood in the middle of Giant Astral Prison and looked over with contempt: "I hope you fight as well as you talk. Likely you’ll lose somewhere else instead, you fool!"

"Little weasel, you dare to talk back to me? If I meet you, I’ll kill you!" Li Tianji’s eyes flashed dangerously. In all his years of life, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, and his wounded pride fueled a bubbling anger.

"You can damn well try."

Wu Yu replied unconcernedly, which only made Li Tianji angrier than ever.

"It is I who is your opponent!"

At this time, a loud bellow came from the front. It was Lei Tianyuan, staring t him. "Wu Yu, your only outcome against me is defeat! Immortal Emperor Trials is not your stage. If you insist on barging in, then I’ll just have to show you the difference between us!"

"Sure. Have a go then."

Wu Yu said lightly. Despite his relaxed posture, he was very wary.

Wu Yu did not have a tendency to underestimate his opponent, especially when they were considered of the same caliber as Yang Qiang and Li Tianji. He would definitely have many deadly moves up his sleeve.

Even a simple verbal battle was enough to heat up the atmosphere here.

The first round of the Immortal Emperor Trials had proceeded routinely, but now there was finally a spark of emotion. Many wanted to see who was stronger.

Some of the elders were also discussing the fight, including Wu Yu, Lei Tianyuan, and Li Tianji. The others yearned for such attention.

Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy obviously hoped that Lei Tianyuan would give Wu Yu a good beating. How dare Wu Yu taunt Li Tianji?

Neither ever thought about the one who had started prattling on and on in a self-absorbed and hateful manner.

The Patriarch Bodhi’s disciples were all cheering Wu Yu on, and the crowd seemed to be leaning his way. However, crowd cheering was of absolutely no help to the Immortal Emperor Trials.

All depended on one’s own strength!

As Wu Yu and Lei Tianyuan stepped onto the battlefield, their eyes met. The battle began.

The eagle wings on Lei Tianyuan’s back beat furiously, sending wave after wave of electrical energy snapping out towards Wu Yu.

"Taste my Annihilating Heaven’s Thunder heavenly rule!"

Lei Tianyuan disrespected Wu Yu to the point where he did not even pull out his epochal immortal treasure, attacking Wu Yu with only heavenly rule power.

Annihilating Heaven’s Thunder heavenly rule electrified the air, and seemed to submerge Wu Yu completely!

However, while such heavenly rule power might work well even against an average first tier immortal emperor, but it had no effect at all against Wu Yu.

Wu Yu stood unflinching. Even before he was struck by thunder, the audience was thunderstruck.

"Void Reversal!"

Wu Yu reached out a hand and flipped Qian Kun world and void world. The Annihilating Heaven’s Thunder heavenly rule was redirected elsewhere, and

Lei Tianyuan was shocked, not expecting Wu Yu to deal with his heavenly rule power so easily.

However, Annihilating Heaven’s Thunder heavenly rule was just a normal move for him.

Lei Tianyuan was already caught in Wu Yu’s Void Reversal, but he was not scared. He lifted a hand. "Eternal Silence Lightning heavenly rule!"

Wu Yu felt electricity crackle in the air around him. These bolts of lightning seemed to have been summoned from dormant energy in the air, materializing at Lei Tianyuan’s behest.

Wu Yu did not even have time to react before Eternal Silence Lightning heavenly rule swallowed him up. The sea of electricity gushed and poured out non-stop into the void, swarming Wu Yu and attacking his body.

"Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth!"

"Incandescent heavenly rule!"

Wu Yu’s body expanded within the sea of electricity, and his strength with it. At the same time, golden fire blazed from his body, thoroughly destroying the sea of electricity!

Wu Yu’s gigantic body stomped the ground, wreathed in incandescent flames.

The Eternal Silence Lightning heavenly rule would vanish when it got near to his body, thoroughly burned away by the incandescent heavenly rule. It could not even get close to Wu Yu’s body, let alone defeat him.

Both had used two moves each, and the battle was getting complicated.

While the entire field of electricity made it seem like Lei Tianyuan had the advantage, but its ineffectiveness against Wu Yu’s fiery body showed that Wu Yu was not at all on the back foot.

The Mettle Sky immortal emperors were enthused to see this.

They had been worried that Wu Yu would fall like Undulating Tides Immortal King or Spirit Sword Immortal King, pathetically to one blow. Now it seemed like their worries were unfounded.

Lei Tianyuan was already considered one of the strong ones. Even Yang Qiang and the others were not much stronger than he was.

That Wu Yu could easily counter Lei Tianyuan’s consecutive attacks spoke of his own strength. Even if he could not win the whole thing, he could definitely go toe to toe against these immortal emperor descendants.

Of course, they still hoped for his ultimate victory. It would be a rap on the noses of all these immortal emperor descendants, that a lucky birth to high position was not all that counted.

"I’m surprised the kid blocked Lei Tianyuan’s attack." The Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning said to each other. Their relaxed expressions were gone from their faces now.

"No need to worry."

Father of Thunder smiled. "Tianyuan was just taking warming up. His true powers are yet to be unleashed. But that Wu Yu kid is something after all. No wonder the Patriarch Bodhi chose him. I wonder how long he can hold out against our Tianyuan."

Sensing that Wu Yu was no walkover, Lei Tianyuan smiled. "So it seems like you’re stronger than those ants from before. No matter. You are still far from where I am. Surrender now, or you won’t even get a chance later. It’ll be bad if you end up like that Spirit Sword Immortal King, right? Hahaha!"

His fiery and blunt attitude showed that he did not accord Spirit Sword Immortal King or Wu Yu any respect at all.

Spirit Sword Immortal King had revived by this time, and to hear these words made him feel shame again. Luckily, the Patriarch Bodhi was by his side, treating his wounds. He laid a soothing hand on his shoulder.

However, Spirit Sword Immortal King still gritted his teeth, staring spitefully at Lei Tianyuan.

"I seem to recall you laughed the most then. Is that right?"

𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A severe look flashed on Wu Yu’s face. Back when Li Tianji had been humiliating Spirit Sword Immortal King, this Lei Tianyuan’s laughter had boomed out hunderously. He had thoroughly enjoyed the lauding of Li Tianji’s power over the weaker Spirit Sword Immortal King, seeing it as glorious.

"And so? You’re still no match for me."

Lei Tianyuan sniggered. Again his body crackled with electricity, and he used a Mystique: Return of Deity and Devil!

His winged body was charged with lightning, glowing with brilliance. He shot out towards Wu Yu like an arrow, at the same time using another heavenly rule power!

Lei Tianyuan’s body was lightning incarnate now. With his Return of Deity and Devil, all of his moves were enhanced manifold. He zipped across the entire arena with great speed.

"Electric vortex heavenly rule!"

Electricity appeared in swirls all around Wu Yu. These strange swirls held incredible destructive power. If an immortal emperor was sucked in, they would be swarmed with a constant stream of attacks that eventually wore them down.

The lightning vortexes pinned Wu Yu down, sending tendrils of lightning out to lash at him, trying to pull him in and engulf him.

That wasn’t all!

Lei Tianyuan’s power was impressive indeed. His body was lightning itself now, and his wings were also transformed into Everlasting Lightning Wings. They slashed out at Wu Yu, aiming straight for his skull!
