Chapter 1705: Towards Eternal Life

All of the immortal emperors present were still struggling to accept the outcome, looking blankly at the stunning Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. Her name would spread throughout the sky palaces now.

To already have such power as a 9-heavens immortal king, leaving Wu Yu with nowhere to run amidst the black flames.

Once she reached the Everlasting Battlefield and emerged as an immortal emperor, what power would she have?

And in comparison, Wu Yu looked pitiable.

He had won the Immortal Emperor Trials, and the prize should have been his. However, he had lost to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. Not only was his pride crushed, but his prize had also been lost.

The Patriarch Bodhi was frustrated by this.

He had intended for Wu Yu to fight and win the chance at the Everlasting Battlefield if he could. But he could not go back on the decisions they had made. After all, the conditions of this challenge had all been made clear before the fight.

The chance to enter the Everlasting Battlefield was Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s.

Wu Yu very quickly returned to the side of Luo Pin and the others.

Memory Star Immortal Emperor and his other senior brothers came to console him, and Wu Yu felt a wave of warmth rush through him.

He shook his head. "I’m fine. Since the chance to enter Everlasting Battlefield is lost, I will not harp on it. Even without the Everlasting Battlefield, I can still reach the immortal emperor realm!"

He was currently badly injured, and had to rest.

In the center of the Giant Astral Prison, the Patriarch Bodhi had opened the white face of the Wheel of Taichi. The entrance to the Everlasting Battlefield, which opened once in 50,000 years. The Everlastings within could help one reach the immortal emperor realm.

Even at this time, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord showed no expression.

A slight quirk of her lips was the only indication of her satisfaction.

As Everlasting Battlefield opened, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord stepped in, vanishing from before their eyes.

All knew that she would be able to leave once she reached immortal emperor realm.

The Six Superior Phoenix Emperors were well pleased by this result as well, laughing and chatting.

"Many thanks to the Patriarch for consenting. We of the Immortal Phoenix Imperial Realm will remember this boon. We will take our leave first. Till we meet again."

Provenance Phoenix Empress gave a courteous bow to the immortal emperors present, then left Giant Astral Prison with the other five.

The remaining immortal emperors were left with a huge mystery. What was the nature of this transformation that had allowed Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord to improve so quickly?

She had been one of the more outstanding ones in her generation, but her improvement had definitely not been on this level, nor her fighting strength this

But now, it seemed like she was the ultimate fighter among immortal kings, whether in the sky palaces or hells!

It was a shocking leap.

"Forget it, let’s go. We can look into this matter later."

True Lord Erlang, Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord, and the others all left individually as well.

This Immortal Emperor Trials had been full of surprises. First was Wu Yu’s rise as a dark horse, consecutively defeating many immortal emperor descendants, including Li Tianji and Yang Qiang.

They had thought a 9-heavens immortal king like Wu Yu was peerless in the sky palaces.

And then the phoenix tribe had suddenly presented Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, the daughter of Provenance Phoenix Empress. She had completely destroyed Wu Yu, and he had not been able to put up any defense.

In all the years of Immortal Emperor Trials, such a situation had never been heard of.

The crashing of Immortal Emperor Trials by Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had never happened before, and so this news very quickly spread throughout the sky palaces.

The Four Heavenly Kings and Primeval Mighty Miracle God took one last look at Wu Yu, and then left.

They did not say anything, and no longer had any thoughts about pursuing him. After all, besides losing to the godlike Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, Wu Yu seemed unbeatable enough.

At least, with even Yang Qiang and Li Tianji losing to Wu Yu, and the guardian Patriarch Bodhi backing him, it was impossible to touch Wu Yu.

The immortal emperors took their leave of Patriarch Bodhi, and the Immortal Emperor Trials came to an end.

However, the impact of this competition was felt far and wide, and made for many a juicy tale throughout the sky palaces and hells alike.

The hot topic was of course what Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s huge transformation was.

However, the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors were keeping their mouths clamped. Even if they wanted to know, they would have to wait.

Soon, even Grand Supreme Elderly Lord left, and only Patriarch Bodhi and his disciples remained.

After making a few general remarks, Patriarch Bodhi dismissed them.

Only a few immortal emperors who were closer to Wu Yu remained. They wanted to know what the Patriarch’s plans for Wu Yu were.

After all, Wu Yu had lost the chance to enter the Everlasting Battlefield this time. If he had to wait for the next, it would be 50,000 years later, and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord would be far ahead of him.

Especially Memory Star Immortal Emperor. He knew that Wu Yu was the kind of person who would live to come back from his loss. When they faced off the next time, he would want the power to defeat Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord.

And once he lost the chance to enter the Everlasting Battlefield, he might be behind her forever.

How could Wu Yu stand for that?

The Patriarch Bodhi came to Wu Yu, and very quickly healed all of his wounds. He regarded him with a smile: "Wu Yu, you must not take this too harshly. Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s transformation is indeed incredible. However, you have already been through Heavenly Devil Battlefield. Even without Everlasting Battlefield, you can reach eternal life very quickly."

"So the Heavenly Devil Battlefield is also of help for the breakthrough?"

Hearing this, many of the disciples were astonished. They had thought Heavenly Devil Battlefield as a place of punishment. To think that it had productive effects! And Wu Yu had already been inside for 10,000 years.

However, it must have been an agonizing process......

... was what Memory Star Immortal Emperor and the others imagined.

"Mm."

Wu Yu nodded.

He did not say much. He had lost this time, to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. However, this had not broken him.

Ever since he had started cultivating, it had always been favorable. Even if he had been through rough patches here and there, and even risked his life several times, but in a fair fight, he had never lost before.

Losing to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had been the first time, ever since he started cultivation.

A loss was a loss. This did not mean that he could not reach the immortal emperor realm. It was as the Patriarch Bodhi had said. He had changed in the Heavenly Devil Battlefield as well, making progress in building his apotheosis realm.

He had the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, and a wealth of treasures waiting for him in the Eternal Emperor Tomb. It would be no great hardship to reach eternal immortal emperor realm.

"Patriarch, do not worry. Your disciple will work his hardest towards the breakthrough, and aim to reach the eternal immortal emperor realm!"

Wu Yu vowed, getting to his feet!

Patriarch Bodhi left, satisfied. The other disciples also bid farewell to him.

They all knew that what Wu Yu would do next was to seclude himself and cultivate to eternal life!

This was a process whereby he would have to depend on himself. Empty words of consolation would not help him one bit.

Therefore, they all left to give Wu Yu quiet space.

Finally, Wu Yu, Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi left Giant Astral Prison together, returning back to their residence.

"Old Wu, did you manage to discover anything about Nangong Wei when you fought?" Full Moon of Nanshan was very curious. Even he could sense that Nangong Wei was completely different from how she had been.

Not just in the mastery of the black flames. Her personality had gone ice-cold, and it was an alien feeling.

"Different. But I’m not sure what’s different. I want to find out as well."

Wu Yu said, looking over at Luo Pin. After all, he knew that she was still sensitive about it, and might object.

"No worries. Even I want to know what happened to her."

Luo Pin smiled slightly, then pouted seriously. "But you have to maintain your distance from her, or I won’t forgive you, understood?"

"Understood, understood." Wu Yu said, rubbing his own head sheepishly.

"Big brother Yu, what will you do next?" Ye Xixi asked, still forlorn at Wu Yu’s loss to Nangong Wei. She knew that it would be a big blow to his psyche, and she hoped that Wu Yu could bounce back quickly, and perhaps even reach eternal immortal emperor realm before Nangong Wei did. That would be some salvation for his pride.

Wu Yu thought about it. "Next, I will go for the breakthrough with all my might. My greatest aid will be the eternal demon emperor graves in Eternal Emperor Tomb. It seems like I have to return there."

Back at Eternal Emperor Tomb, he had unraveled the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere epochal immortal design, entering the grave of Lifeless Eternal Demon Emperor and consuming his body.

If Wu Yu wanted to improve himself further, he would have to continue breaking through more and more epochal immortal designs, and devouring more eternal demon emperor corpses.

Wu Yu had Luo Pin and the others remain at Mettle Sky. He prepared to go alone to Eternal Emperor Tomb.

This time, his goal was eternal life!
