The Wheel of Taichi started to spin slowly under everyone's watchful eyes.

The top four competitors on stage were particularly outstanding as the bright light from the Wheel of Taichi shone constantly on them. They all wore different expressions.

Yang Qiang's expression was cold. No one could guess what he was thinking from the surface. Whereas Li Tianji had a haughty look. His gaze was fixed onto Wu Yu as he sized Wu Yu up. He hoped that he could be paired up with Wu Yu soon to fight him.

As for Jiang Taiji, he was expressionless. He stood there, staring at the sky. Similarly, no one could guess what he was thinking.

The light from the Wheel of Taichi rotated and soon the first two opponents were selected. They were the son of Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal, Jiang Taiji, and the son of True Lord Erlang Yang Jian, Yang Qiang!

There was no need for the Wheel of Taichi to select the next two opponents anymore. Naturally, Wu Yu would be fighting against Li Tianji.

Looking at this results, Li Tianji burst out in laughter and said: "Wu Yu, in the end, you are still at my mercy. I want to see if you can continue to be as arrogant when you face me in battle."

Li Tianji laughed disdainfully, turned and left the battlefield.

Wu Yu did not pay any attention to him. Instead, he prepared himself mentally to fight Li Tianji. He knew that this person was Nezha's son and would be very difficult to deal with. He thought to himself that he would probably need some strong means of attack to defeat Li Tianji.

At the very least, Wu Yu must use the Vertigo ability that he gained after the second seal of Ruyi Jingu Bang was broken. Otherwise he would have no chance of winning.

Now the only ones left standing in the battlefield was Yang Qiang, the son of True Lord Erlang, and Jiang Taiji, the son of Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal.

Both of them were very strong, but obviously, there seemed to be more people who were in support of Yang Qiang. Everyone at the spectator stands were discussing fervently and speculating who would win the battle.

Jiang Taiji's whole body was covered in gold colour. He had long horns on his head, and his eyes were bright and full of energy.

He glanced at the cool looking Yang Qiang who stood in front of him and said with a faint smile: "Yang Qiang, I didn't expect that you will be my opponent. It seems like I do not have the luck to fight Wu Yu. In that case, let me see how much power you have! Everyone said that you are very strong, but I doubt that you are worthy to be my opponent."

"Try me."

Yang Qiang’s reply was as cold as ever. He was fearless.

Yang Qiang had a good relationship with Lei Tianyuan, but Jiang Taiji was only an acquaintance to him. He did not have much contact with Jiang Taiji before. After all, he seldom communicated with others and only focused on his training.

Jiang Taiji’s character was similar to Yang Qiang. Hence the two of them had few opportunities to meet.

As the battle began, Yang Qiang's Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd erupted directly with a horrifying power. He punched out and this move turned out to be the one that he had used before, world destroyer heavenly rule!

A burst of void annihilation power was released as he punched out. It was followed closely by the terrifying power released from the swing of his Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd. These powers slammed towards Jiang Taiji from different directions.

These two moves were executed simultaneously, which increased the pressure on Jiang Taiji suddenly.This dreadful force of power seemed to fall from the sky, forcing him to use some means to defend himself.

"Holy mud heavenly rule!"

With a loud roar, a sea of yellow mud rolled out from within Jiang Taiji’s body. This yellow mud turned into a piece of thick soil in the void, burying the entire space in the Giant Astral Prison.

Jiang Taiji also became completely wrapped in this layer of thick soil.

As Yang Qiang's attacks bombarded towards him, his layer of thick soil managed to block this simultaneous double attack. Although the thick soil collapsed under the impact of these attacks, Yang Qiang could not hurt Jiang Taiji at all.

"En?"

Yang Qiang was a little surprised. He did not expect Jiang Taiji to be so powerful and have such a tortoise-like move to defend himself. Yang Qiang had never seen Jiang Taiji using this move in the previous battles. It was only now in the semi-finals that he used it. Perhaps this move was intended to be used as a trump card to win the final battle.

But Yang Qiang was not worried at all.

Even though Jiang Taiji used some unique skills, he also had his own arsenal of special skills too.

"Eye of Heaven......Open!"

Yang Qiang's third eye on his forehead appeared once again in the battlefield and a shapeless power accompanied the opening of the eye. Jiang Taiji whose armour of thick soil was shattered by Yang Qiang's attack was now restrained by the Eye of Heaven. He could no longer move and seemed to be pinned to the void.

Yang Qiang grabbed his Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd and approached Jiang Taiji coldly. The next fatal move was about to be executed.

At this point, Jiang Taiji's body suddenly shone with golden light and countless golden spikes pierced through the void!

While that Eye of Heaven had a shapeless power, it actually existed within the surrounding void. When Jiang Taiji's golden spikes pierced out, they actually severed the power of the Eye of Heaven!

While every golden spike had a short range, they had the advantage in numbers and their excellent penetration. Even the seemingly invisible power of the Eye of Heaven was instantly destroyed by these golden spikes.

"Ha ha ha! Did you think that your Eye of Heaven is effective against everyone? I've long seen through your move!"

Jiang Taiji laughed aloud. His whole body continued sparkling with golden holy light: "What do you think of my well-prepared golden spike heavenly rule? Your Eye of Heaven is ineffective against me!"

With his laugther, his body quickly bulked up and he actually transformed into a enormous golden horned beast. This golden horned beast was covered with golden shiny scales. If he opened his mouth, he could swallow this entire void.

"This giant beast seems similar to the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, but gold in color."

Wu Yu watched from the spectator stands. He was quite concerned over this battle.

His next battle was against Li Tianji and if he defeated Li Tianji, then he would have to fight the one who would emerge victorious in this battle. They would then compete for the first place in the Immortal Emperor Trials.

Wu Yu was still quite confident in his own abilities. He was determined to defeat Li Tianji. Otherwise, he would be letting down the high expectations of Patriarch Bodhi and his fellow immortal emperors in Mettle Sky.

If he were to be in the finals, then it would be advantageous for him to learn about his opponent's abilities as part of his preparation.

As Jiang Taiji transformed into a gigantic golden horned beast, an extremely domineering aura erupted from the battlefield. Even the void trembled.

This gigantic golden horned beast rushed towards Yang Qiang. It seemed like a golden hurricane threatening to ram into Yang Qiang with a terrifying strength. On the way, even the void threatened to shatter from its rampage. The absurd power displayed surprised the immortal emperors at the spectator stands.

"Great Yellow Horn Immortal! Isn't this the Golden Body of the Great Yellow Immortal mystique that is passed down in your tribe? Your son can actually use it so well. That's impressive!"

"Yang Qiang's aura seemed to have fallen behind. If he do not use some other move to counter this Golden Body of the Great Yellow Immortal, he is unlikely to defeat Jiang Taiji."

Many Immortal emperors were discussing and analysing the battle.

In fact, even Yang Qiang was watchful over Jiang Taiji's transformation. He was quite surprised over the power of the Golden Body of the Great Yellow Immortal. After using this mystique, Jiang Taiji's aura and strength seemed to have increased by a few folds.

If Yang Qiang had originally intended to use only ordinary moves to defeat Jiang Taiji, he now fully understood that ordinary moves were insufficient to defeat Jiang Taiji.

If that was the case, then he could only......

Just as Jiang Taiji's Golden Body of the Great Yellow Immortal rampaged towards Yang Qiang, the void above Yang Qiang's head shattered and cracked. From the void chasm, a deafening roar erupted.

Followed closely, a terrifying looking pitch-black Howling Celestial Dog leapt out from the void chasm. Its eyes were as cold and fierce as Yang Qiang's eyes. This was actually Yang Qiang's life-bound companion beast and it was here because Yang Qiang had summoned it!

This life-bound companion beast looked like True Lord Erlang, Yang Jian's Howling Celestial Dog. It was Yang Jian's Howling Celestial Dog's first born and inherited its bloodline. It was a supreme immortal beast called Tyrant.

This immortal beast, Tyrant, had bound its life to Yang Qiang via the contract heavenly rule. They now shared their lives and the immortal beast acted as Yang Qiang's second body. It was Yang Qiang's trump card.

When the Howling Celestial Dog, Tyrant, appeared in the battlefield, it actually managed to suppress Jiang Taiji's Golden Body of the Great Yellow Immortal. While they had only gained an upper hand in terms of domineering aura, this also showed how terrifying the strength of this Howling Celestial Dog, Tyrant, could be.

No one had thought that Yang Qiang would have such a move hidden up his sleeves. In fact, even those immortal emperor guests did not expect this to happen.

Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord, Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress and the others were all unaware that the Howling Celestial Dog had actually produced an offspring and its offspring had actually discreetly become Yang Qiang's life-bound companion beast through the contract heavenly rule.

"Well, it seems that my daughter's loss was indeed not an incident. While she can block the strong attacks from the Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd, she will stand no chance against this life-bound companion beast."

Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress shook her head. She was utterly impressed by Yang Qiang. Her daughter, Happy Fleece Fairy, was defeated by Yang Qiang's Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd. However, even if it were not for the Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd, Happy Fleece Fairy would never be able to fight this life-bound companion beast, which was a stronger move compared to the Heaven's Ruin Painted Halberd.

True Lord Erlang watched as his son Yang Qiang had summoned his life-bound companion beast and was pleased. He could tell that Yang Qiang's contractual affinity with his Howling Celestial Dog, Tyrant, had recently improved. In turn, his battle powers would be boosted too.

"Die by my Yellow Sky Holy Mud Imperial Sword!"

Just as the immortal emperors at the spectators stand were gasping in surprise, the moment for the final showdown had arrived.

Jiang Taiji who had already used the mystique, Golden Body of the Great Yellow Immortal, finally used his epochal immortal treasure, the Yellow Sky Holy Mud Imperial Sword. That was a huge golden sword and when it appeared in the void, it shone with an overbearing aura. It followed the golden horned beast's movement and slashed towards Yang Qiang and his Howling Celestial Dog, Tyrant.

This slash broke through the void and cut through the sky!

The entire Giant Astral Prison seemed to be cloaked by endless golden light at this point. Even Yang Qiang and his Howling Celestial Dog, Tyrant, seemed to be bathed in golden light. In this instant, they were suppressed by this terrifying sword slash.
