《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1690: Quarterfinals Reckoning
Advertisement
Wu Yu stood proudly with his Ruyi Jingu Bang in the middle of the battleground.
Zhou Niancang wasn't a match for him!
In fact, he even had a little revelation from the single wave of the Ruyi Jingu Bang earlier.
If the Bedlam of Heaven and Earth was just the first Mystique he uncovered from the Ruyi Jingu Bang, there were definitely more dominant Mystiques that could further strengthen him in battle once he uncovered them in the future.
All along, he had wanted to undo the second seal on the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Unfortunately, his attempts had been futile.
Moments ago, when he unleashed unparalleled battle will, he seemed to have felt the will from the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. It was that arrogance and fearlessness.
"It's a shame that Zhou Niancang is still too weak!"
Wu Yu found it regretful.
If Zhou Niancang was a little stronger and could take two or three strikes from him, he might be able to better feel the will of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal and attempt to break the second seal on the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
"Regardless, at least I've reached the brink of a breakthrough......"
Wu Yu didn't feel too bad about it.
When Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor announced his victory, he took a final glance at Zhou Niancang, who still couldn't believe the outcome, before returning to the spectator stands.
Defeated by Wu Yu in a single strike had left Zhou Niancang in a trance. He would never have expected this. It was supposed to be him defeating Wu Yu with his strongest Sky River Godly Sword, Raged Bifurcating Sky River! How could the outcome be the complete opposite as he was defeated in a single strike?
He naturally wouldn't know that when Wu Yu was releasing Bedlam of Heaven and Earth, Wu Yu also cast Violent Art and crusader heavenly rule. He was only able to unleashed the terrorizing strength with the two powers stacking on him.
The clash of the strongest strikes from both parties ended in a victory for Wu Yu.
Zhou Niancang was dejected and brought back to the spectator stand by Marshal Tian You.
Marshal Tian You was visibly disgruntled. He had never imagined his son to be so casually dispatched and he felt embarrassed.
Lei Tianyuan, the son of Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning, still exchanged several blows and put on a good fight against Wu Yu. Why did Wu Yu unleash his explosive strength to finish his son off in a single move?
"Is he intentionally targeting me?" Although Marshal Tian You felt this wasn't likely, he was still disgruntled. He glanced at Wu Yu, snorted and turned away.
He knew they were standing on opposite ends. It wouldn't be possible to ask Wu Yu to show mercy. However, he still felt it was too embarassing that his son lost to Wu Yu in this manner.

"You better cultivate harder when you get back. You can't even defeat that Wu Yu and you have embarrassed me!" Marshal Tian You reprimanded his son.
"Father! It isn't I, who am weak. It's because that Wu Yu is a little strange!"
Zhou Niancang was indignant. He gritted his teeth and continued, "In my view, even if Yang Qiang or Zhou Niancang is facing him, he would still be a tough nut to crack for them!"
"Don't find excuses for when you lose!"
Marshal Tian You berated him again and shut him off.
His expression gloomed as he stared at Wu Yu. He truly hoped it would just be as what his son had claimed. If even Yang Qiang or Li Tianji wasn't a match for Wu Yu, he would be able to preserve his face and wouldn't become the subject of public denunciation.
If that was true, wouldn't that mean Wu Yu was going to be first in the Immortal Emperor Trials?
As compared to him losing face, letting Wu Yu achieving first would be even more abhorred. After all, the first in Immortal Emperor Trials had always been one of the descendants of immortal emperors.
Even if years when there weren't many immortal emperor descendants, other mortal-born immortal would find it equally difficult to win all the way.
"Wu Yu has truly made our Mettle Sky proud! Great! Great!"
"Amazing! To think that the son of Marshal Tian You was sent flying off in a single strike, how gratifying is that! Haha!"
When Wu Yu returned, the disciples of Patriarch Bodhi around him all gave Wu Yu a thumbs-up.
They were all seniors of Wu Yu.
They were all mortal-born immortals who eventually became immortal emperor. Everyone of them had gone through an arduous path that immortal emperor descendants couldn't have imagined. In the past, mortal-born immortals had always underperformed in the Immortal Emperor Trials.
And now, there's Wu Yu who seemed capable of making a run for first!
This iteration of Immortal Emperor Trials had the son of True Lord Erlang, Yang Qiang, the son of Nezha, Li Tianji, and many other formidable experts. It was supposed to be the most competitive iteration. Therefore, it wasn't easy for Wu Yu to make his way into the quarter-finals.
Obviously, if he was capable of advancing further, his seniors would also be even more glad.
Unfortunately, they knew each step beyond the quarter-finals would become exceptionally difficult. Every opponent had to be faced with one's full strength in order to win.
After Wu Yu defeated Zhou Niancang, several battles ensuded and the fourth round of Immortal Emperor Trials came to and end.
At this point, the finalists for the quater-finals had been determined.
"And now, let us invite the final eight participants onto the battleground to prepare for the final stage!"

Following Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor's announcement, the final eight young immortal kings entered the battleground and stood in the middle of the Giant Astral Prison.
When Yang Qiang and Li Tianji entered the battleground, the surrounding immortal emperors cheered. Without a doubt, both of them were the hot favorites and widely regarded by the crowd to be the two strongest among the group.
Following closely behind would be the son of Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal, Jiang Taiji, and the daughter of Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord, Peach Cloud Fairy.
Both of them were also favorites to advance into the semi-finals.
Wu Yu and the other three immortal emperor descendants had outstanding performances in the trials too. Although they might be a little weaker than Yang Qiang and Li Tianji, they could still make it into the semi-finals if they got lucky.
When Wu Yu entered the battleground, the attention of the crowd were all gathered onto him.
The immortal emperors of Mettle Sky started cheering and Wu Yu's name reverberated in the Giant Astral Prison.
The large commotion left the guest immortal emperors that came to spectate disgruntled. Would cheering louder make it possible for Wu Yu to win in his next battle?
Not a single one from the other seven participants would be easy to defeat.
Even the weakest in public's opinion could still put up a fight against Yang Qiang. Considering the lineup, it definitely wasn't easy for Wu Yu to advance further.
When Wu Yu got onto the battleground, Yang Qiang glanced at him coldly. Sinister killing intention slowly crept up.
Before the Immortal Emperor Trials started, he had declared he would kill Wu Yu in the Immortal Emperor Trials before his father and the Four Heavenly Kings. It was just a casual remark then as he had never expected he would have the chance to encounter Wu Yu.
To his surprise, Wu Yu overcame his opponents step by step. Even Lei Tianyuan and Zhou Niancang were defeated by him as Wu Yu advanced into the quarter-finals.
Yang Qiang still had some admiration of Wu Yu. As an immortal that cultivated from the mortal domain, he had his limitations. For him to possess the battle strength he had today, it wasn't easy.
However, this wouldn't mean he saw Wu Yu as a threat.
Anyone of the eight finalist would be an extremely difficult opponent for Wu Yu. As for Yang Qiang, there's no uncertainty over him making into the semi-finals. This was the difference between them.
In Yang Qiang's view, Wu Yu was elite among the immortals that had ascended from the mortal domain. However, Yang Qiang was the elite among immortal emperor descendants.
If they were to meet, Wu Yu was bound to lose without doubt!
In fact, he would be serious about killing Wu Yu in battle so as to eliminate a small problem for his father.
"Wu Yu, you are pretty daring to reach here. Haha!"
Li Tianji had entered the battleground. When he saw the crowd chanting Wu Yu's name, he was irated. However, the moment he recalled he had a good chance of encountering Wu Yu in battle in the quarter-finals, he couldn't help but be excited.
He wished he would face Wu Yu directly so he could prove to Luo Pin he's way stronger than Wu Yu!
When Wu Yu entered the battleground, he felt he was the epicenter of troubles.
The other seven participants were all immortal emperor descendants. They received the most orthodox grooming since young and had never lacked cultivation resources. Their paths of cultivation were always smooth sailing.
And now, all of them had attained the cultivation realm of 9-heavens immortal king and reached the most critical juncture of cultivation. Breaking through to become immortal emperors.
In the face of temptation of the Everlasting Battlefield, no one would show mercy in battle. All of them would give their all to emerge victorious in the end.
Even so, there was clear divide among the eight participants.
The remaining seven participants were in a group, chatting and joking casually.
And when Wu Yu entered the battleground, the seven immortal emperor descendants kept a distance from him naturally. The only one paying some attention was Li Tianji who was mocking, degrading and warning Wu Yu for what to come.
As for the rest, they didn't even want to communicate with Wu Yu.
Among the eight final participants, he was the lonely one.
However, Wu Yu didn't mind. All he had to do was to defeat all his opponents one after another and stand at the top in the end.
Regardless if it was Yang Qiang or Li Tianji, they were the same in his eyes. In fact, the stronger his opponent, the more Wu Yu would be able to push his limits in battle. .
"In one year, the eight participants would be gunning for a spot in the semi-finals. Let us look forward to it!"
After Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor made his announcement, the crowd dispersed for now.
Just as Wu Yu was about to leave, a cold voice halted him. "Wu Yu!"
The voice was from Yang Qiang.
The son of True Lord Erlang had an expressionless look. Taking a haughty stand, he remarked, "If we meet in battle, I'll avenge Lei Tianyuan. You stand no chance in this Immortal Emperor Trials!"
After making his statement clear, Yang Qiang turned around and left.
Wu Yu didn't respond and simply smirked.
Many had said similar words to him in the past. However, none of them had a good ending. Wu Yu would like to see how incredible Yang Qiang truly was!
