Lei Tianyuan would never have dreamed that his Meteorological Rod-enhanced Evolved Electrofield would be defeated by Wu Yu's heavenly rule power alone.

He had overcome Evolved Electrofield and then used his epochal immortal treasure to counter attack!

By the time Lei Tianyuan realized, the golden light was already in front of his face.

All of the immortal emperors were stunned by the sudden attack emerging from the Evolved Electrofield. It ripped through the air at blistering speed.

Lei Tianyuan was up close and personal to its incredible destructiveness.

His Return of Deity and Devil Mystique had transformed him into pure lightning, but not even the void could survive this blow, let alone him. The blow cracked him over the head!

In his panic, Lei Tianyuan could only pull out electric vortex heavenly rule to shield himself.

But how could this measly heavenly rule power defend against Wu Yu's Ruyi Jingu Bang?

Bedlam of Heaven and Earth indeed caused bedlam in heaven.

The blow sent Lei Tianyuan flying, his lightning dimming immediately, a shadow of its former brilliance.

As the Evolved Electrofield faded away, Wu Yu appeared unharmed.

"Wu Yu! Wu Yu! Wu Yu!"

Boisterous cheering came from the Mettle Sky immortal emperors, all 900-odd disciples leaping to their feet.

"Big brother Yu! That's wonderful!"

Ye Xixi pumped her tiny fists in the air as well. She had been worried that Wu Yu would lose to Lei Tianyuan.

Wu Yu's prowess had not left her disappointed.

"I told ya. How could Old Wu lose to that spark-fiddling bird man?" Full Moon of Nanshan roared with laughter.

"If Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning hear you, you'll find no more peace in this life." Luo Pin smiled.

Defeating Lei Tianyuan meant he was a step closer to eternal immortal emperor status.

Luo Pin fervently wished that Wu Yu could make that crucial step. If he could, then their relationship would grow even tighter than before.

Even the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm elders would have no reason to pull them apart anymore.

"Bodhi, your new disciple is outstanding!"

Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said to Patriarch Bodhi.

It was a rare compliment from Grand Supreme Elderly Lord as he saw Wu Yu triumph.

Although it was a single word "outstanding", but it was high praise from the mouth of one of the great immortal emperors.

Even Yang Qiang and Li Tianji had never earned such praise from Grand Supreme Elderly Lord before. That was how remarkable Wu Yu's win had been.

No one could fault Lei Tianyuan for his perofrmance, and it was at least top-10 level amidst the competition here.

And yet a single strike from Wu Yu's staff had sent him flying, which meant that Wu Yu's limit was beyond that.

"Elderly Lord is too kind. My humble disciple has amused you."

Patriarch Bodhi did not seem too surprised, smiling slightly in response. He was of course pleased with Wu Yu's performance.

"Seems like your disciple Wu Yu can enter top 8 without too much trouble."

Grand Supreme Elderly Lord calculated: "But how far beyond that will depend on how strong the others are."

"Yes, let's wait and see."

Patriarch Bodhi smiled, seemingly not too concerned about Wu Yu.

The other immortal emperors with descendants were not looking too pleased now.

Foremost were of course Lei Tianyuan's parents, Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning.

Their faces were green as they took Lei Tianyuan out and began treating his wounds. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they confirmed there were no lasting injuries.

If he was beaten to death like Mo Liyin, then the Immortal Emperor Trials would probably not continue in light of the terrific fuss that the pair were sure to kick up.

Fortunately, Lei Tianyuan had only been knocked unconscious, and there was no danger to his life.

However, Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning felt angry at the outcome.

To them, Lei Tianyuan was semi-final material at least, but now he had been eliminated in the first round!

They even suspected that the Patriarch Bodhi had arranged this. However, there was no reason for him to do so.

After all, Wu Yu's performance had been equally matched, and there had been a shot for Lei Tianyuan to win it as well.

"This Wu Yu, preposterous!"

Father of Thunder was fuming, and he glowed with electrical energy. He longed to go down and teach Wu Yu a lesson himself, but as an elder, he could not.

"A mere mortal-born immortal, he dares to do this to our Tianyuan? We must teach him a lesson one day." Mother of Lightning's heart ached to see her beloved son injured, and immediately hated Wu Yu.

On the other side, True Lord Erlang recalled the Bedlam of Heaven and Earth move that Wu Yu had just used.

"It was the same move back at Sage's Equal Sky. But that was more than 10,000 times stronger than what he just showed. That one even smashed my Eye of Heaven......"

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed.

He maintained an emotionless expression, hiding his feelings.

But as he recalled the events at Sage's Equal Sky, his anger returned. His instinct told him that the few of them were hiding secrets. And up till now, he had no idea what they were.

Now that Wu Yu had entered the Patriarch Bodhi's sect, he did not even have any chance to pursue the matter. All he could do was wait.

Yang Qiang was indeed surprised by Wu Yu's performance, and also a little angry.

He was good friends with Lei Tianyuan, having grown up together. He could not stand to see him in such a woeful state.

His killing intent only grew more pronounced than ever, a chilling, killing machine.

With Wu Yu's victory, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li also began to have doubts.

Of course, Li Tianji was full of outrage. "Wu Yu is despicable, to use such methods to steal the win. If he can even sneak-attack a win like this, then the Immortal Emperor Trials are unfair!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li was a little stumped himself.

The Immortal Emperor Trials were fairly conducted. Where was the sneak attack?

However, he did not contradict Li Tianji, instead consoling him with a smile. "Tianji, don't worry. Isn't this better? This means that in the next round, or perhaps the following one, you can match against Wu Yu and teach him a proper lesson. Show the mystical dragon girl who the greatest hero is, right?"

"You're right."

Li Tianji thought it over, then smiled. "Lei Tianyuan should be deemed incompetent for losing here. Best for Master here to deal with that brat. I might even win possession of Luo Pin."

To him, Luo Pin was just another possession or asset.

"Look at how cocky he is. So what if he defeated Lei Tianyuan in one blow?" Peach Cloud Fairy was pissed off as well, grumbling to her father Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord.

"Oh my daughter, if it were you fighting Lei Tianyuan, could you win?" Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord asked, his face serious as well. After all, Lei Tianyuan had represented these nobles.

"Of course I'll win. Lei Tianyuan has always lagged behind me."

Peach Cloud Fairy sniffed. "If it had been me, I would have thought Wu Yu a good lesson and put him in his peasant place!"

"The next round is coming up soon. I wonder who Wu Yu will meet." Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord was looking forward to it now. He did not think that Wu Yu would win, and so was eager to see who would get the chance to defeat him.

In this Immortal Emperor Trials, whoever could defeat Wu Yu would win a lot of glory. After all, he was quite a special one, and had also defeated Lei Tianyuan.

"I hope I'm lucky enough to match against Wu Yu. Then I can show Li Tianji how much stronger I am compared to that mystical dragon chick." Peach Cloud Fairy said, fired up with anticipation.

Alas, things did not go that way.

After the first round, a total of 64 immortal kings moved on to the second round.

After a year's rest, the second round followed.

To the immortal emperors, a year was like a day in the mortal domain. They did not even leave Giant Astral Prison, but instead remained where they were, discussing the first round and analyzing the possible situations that might arise next.

As the second round began, the Wheel of Taichi again lit up, choosing opponents.

This time round, it shone on Wu Yu in the third fight.

Immediately the tension in the air rose, as everyone eagerly awaited his opponent.

The next person the Wheel of Taichi stopped on was an immortal emperor descendant - the son of Demigod of Day, You Dongxuan!

The red-robed You Dongxuan stood up slowly, his expression stiff. While the other elite immortal emperor descendants were looking at Wu Yu with eagerness, he was different. He knew clearly that it would be hard for him to win.

After all, the top-8 favorite Lei Tianyuan had already lost. How could he hope to compete?

However, he still had his pride. Against Undulating Tides Immortal King, he had already shown his contempt for mortal-born immortal kings, destroying Undulating Tides Immortal King with one scorching sun heavenly rule.

Therefore, even if You Dongxuan knew he was outclassed, he would not surrender. And perhaps Wu Yu's last fight had just been a fluke?
