Chapter 1373: Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls
Actually, Wu Yu had not gone far. He was nearby, observing the eternal phoenix tribe secretly. The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had great influence with them. When her anger was roused, even those eternal phoenixes stronger than her cowered.
Her imperious and despotic attitude was eerily similar to Nangong Wei's. Wu Yu himself would be fooled if he watched for too long. It was as though she was right before his eyes.
"If I don't catch her alone, there will be no chance. Besides, now I am in the Snow Region Immortal Lord's guise, and fear no consequences."
Such was the power of Replicate.
In another's identity, Wu Yu dared to do anything. After all, the Snow Region Immortal Lord had already died in the fight for the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King.
The ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King he had now was his best way of luring her.
He did not know what he could do for Nangong Wei after capturing her. Because up till now, he knew no way of freeing her. But he had to try.
His heart ached for her. He imagined her drowning, struggling in the sea that was the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. She continued to sink, and would eventually drown and die. Perhaps she was already drowned, but Wu Yu would still seek her out, and pull her out. Even if it were but her corpse, Wu Yu would still do it.
The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord circled the area. After being unable to find Wu Yu, she flew into a rage. But it was nigh impossible to hunt him down again in this vast space. She could only swallow her hatred and go in search of other Marks. But it was obvious that the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King would linger on her mind. She was not at all interested in other Marks of an Immortal King.
Her erratic mood was unreasonable. Occasionally, an eternal phoenix's remark would rub her the wrong way, and they would be severely punished. This failure had left her irritable and peevish for a long time. Wu Yu saw all of this. Perhaps what the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord did not know was that the person she wished to hunt down was near the eternal phoenix tribe's side.
Wu Yu had looked at the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King. As expected of a great void immortal treasure with over 9 billion spirit designs, it was beyond what he could fathom, but he could see that it far surpassed the previous Mark of an Immortal King. His instincts told him that this Mark would be of great help to his cultivation in the Great Void Immortal Realm. It was said that the elite immortal emperors such as the Dhrtarastra had come to their power as immortal kings with ninth-grade Marks of an Immortal King. Of course, that was many years ago.
With this ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King, Wu Yu's dreams of eternal life might just come true.
Of course, such faraway matters were far from his mind, which was full of the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord.
About three months had passed, and the pain of the previous affairs had dulled slightly for the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. The Ruling Sky Immortal Tribe had also gone their own way, and only the eternal phoenix tribe was left in the vicinity. Wu Yu felt that it was time.
This time, he saw the eternal phoenix tribe decide on a star and head there. Wu Yu therefore rushed ahead, arriving on the star before them. And then he concealed himself carelessly on the planet, acting as though he were cultivating. Of course, he did not enter the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
Before long, the eternal phoenix tribe arrived. Their standard habit was to use the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls, which were five destinable immortal treasures wielded by 9-realm immortal lords. They formed a huge net that sealed the entire star, preventing those outside from entering, and those inside from leaving. For those passing by, seeing the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Immortal Exclusion Pearls indicated that the eternal phoenix tribe had claimed the star.
Even if there were immortals nearby, they would consider the disparity between themselves and the eternal phoenix tribe, and would not dare to come. There were not many experts who were confident in dealing with the eternal phoenix tribe.
Wu Yu could see a golden pearl of fire hanging in the sky, blazing like the sun. And then a fiery net closed down the star. Hundreds of eternal phoenixes flew out, searching the star!
Wu Yu made his movements obvious. As they swooped down, he feigned surprise, and an attempt to flee. His appearance as the Snow Region Immortal Lord was very familiar to the eternal phoenixes, who were overjoyed, spreading the news quickly.
They had already used destinable immortal treasures to lock down the entire star, and the five 9-realm immortal lords were funneling their power into the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls, locking it down. This was a golden opportunity for them!
This news cheered up the moody Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord greatly, who was delighted at her luck. She quickly ordered, "Everyone, go down there and catch him! Send 10 more 9-realm immortal lords to fortify the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls to their limit! Until not even an immortal king can get out! Hurry!"
By her side, the White Sun Immortal Lord hurried to do as she bade, and the entire flock was turned out. Besides the 15 9-realm immortal lords operating the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls, the others all rushed to the star to attack Wu Yu!
"Congratulations, Princess! This is a wonderful opportunity. The Snow Region Immortal Lord chose the path of pain. Now he's snared up within our Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls. He's trapped proper now!"
The White Sun Immortal Lord was extremely happy and laughed heartily. To him, this was an unbelievable stroke of good fortune. He, too, had enough of the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's temper, and he was searching for ways to acquit himself.
They were unfamiliar with Wu Yu's Somersault Cloud, so they did not know that he could leave at will.
They were fairly confident in their Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls.
Wu Yu continued to dart around below.
He was completely astounded. "How could you possibly have chased me here?"
The pursuing eternal phoenixes laughed loudly. "Just as our princess told you. You can't escape us, Snow Region Immortal Lord. This place has been completely sealed by our Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls, so you cannot possibly escape. Be wise now and hand over the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King quickly. Otherwise, we will reduce you to ashes!"
Wu Yu continued to dart back and forth. He looked up to see that there was still one expert by the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's side. It was the White Sun Immortal Lord, and he was a powerful enough force that Wu Yu could not deal with him. Therefore, he would keep up his performance, until the White Sun Immortal Lord came chasing him!
He simply had to call forth the speed he had before, and duck and weave through the star. The others could not catch him. Even though the area was contained, Wu Yu was particularly agile. His Eyes of Fire and Gold identified all the traps, and he even tested the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls a few times. Only the Somersault Cloud could get him out of it.
"Give it up!"
The hundreds of eternal phoenixes continued to chase Wu Yu, while half of them attempted to cut him off.
Wu Yu continued to wend his way through the field of autonomous realm power and mystiques. It was fairly dangerous, but he persisted, waiting for the best chance. He would not let the eternal phoenix tribe catch him.
The White Sun Immortal Lord had been watching for an hour, and he turned to the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord anxiously. "Princess, what should we do? He can't get out, but we can't catch him. This kid is too quick. If we cause too big a fuss and catch the attention of others, they will definitely come to fight us for it once they know it is Snow Region Immortal Lord."
The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord shot him a look. "Since you know, then get down there and help!"
The White Sun Immortal Lord said, "But Princess, your safety.... Alright, I will have White Spring protect you."
"Stop wasting manpower. You go down with White Spring. No matter what, I want to take him down quickly. That's most important. What could happen to me here? Who would dare to raise a hand against me?"
"Alright!"
The White Sun Immortal Lord, who was a cut above the other 9-realm immortal lords, also entered the fray. He was not only faster than the others, he also had an agile mind. He started to set traps secretly, apparently building up something big that would catch Wu Yu in one fell swoop.
But Wu Yu was waiting for him to come!
This time, he quickly fled to the back of the star, as the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was at the front. When Wu Yu instantly moved from the back to the front, the pursuers would not be able to know for a moment. Even if they circled back, they would take a while.
Although the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had also drifted in Wu Yu's direction when she saw him flee to the back, she was slower and could not catch up. When Wu Yu reached the ground, he met the White Sun Immortal Lord, who was waiting with his epic trap!
Wu Yu saw his cold smile!
Suddenly, he was surrounded by eternal phoenixes from all sides.
"Snow Region Immortal Lord, at the end of the road now, aren't you?" The White Sun Immortal Lord chuckled. The eternal phoenixes attacked as one.
But it was Wu Yu with a half-smile and a somersault in reply. He vanished before them, and their attacks fell flat.
The White Sun Immortal Lord exploded, "NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN!!!"
Before, when Wu Yu had just obtained the ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King, he had pulled such a move on them as well.
"But he can't possibly escape the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls' area. He must be on this star. Find him!" the White Sun Immortal Lord ordered.
Unbeknownst to him, Wu Yu had already appeared behind the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, who was still chasing in his last seen direction.
Out of the blue.
"Who is it!?" The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord whirled back.
She saw his dancing, blue hair, and those blue eyes looking at her, his smile reflected in them. The danger she sensed made her hair stand on end.
How had he rushed out of the Five Affinities Immortal Exclusion Pearls?
And why was he by her side? Could it be that he was not escaping, but....
Feeling that everything was going horribly wrong, the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord froze.
