With the Chong Yuan Immortal Lord taking the lead, the immortals entered hell and heard about the changes to the Chakravarti-raja Star shortly after. None of the immortals were regretting their actions. Instead, it was as though they were injected with adrenaline as they charged towards the Chakravarti-raja Star. 

The majority of them weren't descendants of immortal emperors and had few connections to worry about in the sky palaces. They were used to freedom and acting as they wished.

On one hand, they would like to give it a try. If lady luck happened to be shining on them, everything was possible!

On the other hand, some had their eyes on other immortal lords that had entered. Among them, there were bound to be some who already possessed Marks of an Immortal King. Once chaos broke out in Hell, they could possibly get Marks of an Immortal King from other immortal lords. Overall, this would be easier than remaining in the Great Void Immortal Path and taking on the challenge of those secret places directly.

Perhaps a Mark of an Immortal King would fall into their hands without them having to do anything!

The greatest risks would be followed by the greatest rewards. Therefore, among the hundreds of thousands of immortal lords, the majority of them were fervent risk-takers.

Outside the door to the Astral Hell, there were over ten times more immortal lords who had not yet mustered the courage to enter.

At this point, no one was stopping them.

The Gu Yan Immortal Lord had given up on defending. With the remaining time, they would be heading to collect their own Marks of an Immortal King.

One could say that rationality triumphed for those who chose not to enter the Astral Hell.

Currently in the Astral Hell, as there were simply too many immortals, they were emboldened. They didn't attempt to hide their trails as all of them charged directly towards the Chakravarti-raja Star.

Along the way, the ghostly immortals were appalled to see them. Why would a colossal batch of immortals show up in this place? This was unprecedented!

"Those are all immortals!"

When the immortals crossed the sky of the Dreary Star, the entire Dreary Star roared to life.

"How could this be possible? Why would so many immortal lords show up in this place?"

"Something is amiss!"

"What's happening? I've been hearing rumors of immortals being spotted in the Astral Hell even before this!"

"Are the sky palaces going to invade Hell? But there shouldn't be anything in Hell that the sky palaces would want!"

Discussions of similar nature were happening between the ghostly immortals. They found this unbelievable and couldn't think of a reason.

"Judging from the direction they are moving, they seem to be heading towards the Chakravarti-raja Star!"

"I knew it! There must be great treasure that was unearthed in the Chakravarti-raja Star and the immortals heard about it! Although we don't know how they got here, they are definitely here for the great treasure!"

"You are right! The Chakravarti-raja Star is going to bustle with noise and excitement now! Hurry! Follow them and don't miss out!"

"Benefitting from a crisis is the best way!"

"Although they have numbers, they are in the territory of the ghostly immortals. I doubt they will be able to throw their weight around here!"

As there were simply too many immortal lords and they were basically all elite immortal lords, ordinary ghostly immortals wouldn't want to engage them. First, they didn't have a unified appeal. Second, with so many immortals, no one knew if there were a number of immortal kings or even immortal emperors hiding among them. 

They had only caused a commotion after nearing the Dreary Star. In a way, they had concealed themselves well.

At this point, countless Immortal Message Talismans flew in all directions, even to other levels of Hell. What was happening in the Astral Hell was quickly known by all in at least ten levels of Hell within a short time.

The only place that wasn't aware that so many immortal lords had shown up would be the Chakravarti-raja Star.

This was because the messages that were transmitted to the Chakravarti-raja Star were all stopped by the Astral Guardian Field. As for those ghostly kings that remained outside, it just so happened that no one was sending them Immortal Message Talismans. After all, their friends were largely on the Chakravarti-raja Star.

As for the Chakravarti Ghostly King, he was still attempting to go in with Zhao Yuanchen's body. The more he tried, the clearer he was that Zhao Yuanchen wasn't sufficient to breach the Prismatic Thunderball.

As time passed, the Chakravarti Ghostly King was getting more anxious.

"If I can capture that guy, I will definitely succeed in obtaining that treasure!"

The previous time Wu Yu took the risk to enter, the Chakravarti Ghostly King had continually attempted to capture him. Therefore, he gave up on trying with Zhao Yuanchen in the end. Instead, he laid several immortal designs around the Prismatic Thunderball and waited for Wu Yu to walk into the trap once again.

The Void Immortal Designs that he meticulously prepared would indeed pose a huge threat for Wu Yu. It was especially so at the moment Wu Yu was ejected out of the Prismatic Thunderball when he failed. That would be the most perilous moment.

If he were captured, his outcome would definitely be the same as Zhao Yuanchen’s. Moreover, if the Chakravarti Ghostly King could control Wu Yu's immortal spirit, it would definitely be dangerous as the Chakravarti Ghostly King might even learn about the memories of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast.

It was also in consideration of this that Wu Yu didn't take the risk to attempt again for now. This was also because he knew that unless he changed his approach or had an amazing idea in mind, it would be a futile attempt no matter how many times he tried.

During this period, he loitered around the Astral Guardian Field while pondering for a solution.

On one day, the patrolling ghostly kings dashed into the Astral Guardian Field with sickly-white complexions. They were shouting for the Chakravarti Imperial Army to be on guard and to focus on holding the Astral Guardian Field up.

"What happened?" Wu Yu was still in the form of the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. When he saw the changes, he thought it was some powerful ghostly kings leading their armies to upset the apple cart!

Or perhaps some other existences from other levels of Hell.

"Immortals! All immortal lords, and several hundred thousand of them! They are almost here!"

"White-Eyed Ghostly Lord! Inform your father immediately! We will stand guard at this place first!"

Wu Yu's eyes lit up as he didn't expect the Gu Yan Immortal Lord to fail.

He would never have imagined that several hundreds of thousands of immortal lords would have the guts to enter. As the saying goes, humans will die for riches just as birds will for food. Those that could end up having a good outcome would definitely be the super minority.

They had been in sky palaces all their lives and weren't aware of the bloodiness and horror of Hell.

In this place, one wouldn't worry about the repercussions of killing an immortal.

After all, them being here could be construed as an invasion.

"Regardless, my opportunity is here!"

No matter the reason, with hundreds of thousands of immortal lords showing up, they would definitely cause a huge commotion. Other ghostly immortals might also be alarmed, leading to more ghostly immortals from other levels of Hel descending onto the Astral Hell!

From his various attempts, Wu Yu concluded that his chances would be higher if the Chakravarti-raja Star was plunged into chaos.

There weren't many ghostly immortals and therefore the several hundreds of thousands of immortals would undoubtedly be a huge threat.

The moment they entered, the ghostly kings went straight into reinforcing the Astral Guardian Field.

"Quick!"

Wu Yu was still stumped when he was chided by them.

At this juncture, the Chakravarti Ghostly King would learn about this soon.

Immortal Message Talismans couldn't enter the depths of the lava, as they would be reduced to ashes. The White-Eyed Ghostly Lord didn't have the most elite kind and therefore had to dive down personally.

He entered a crack swiftly and swam deeper into it. When Wu Yu reached a depth that the ghostly kings could no longer see him, he slowed down.

"I'm not in a hurry. Let the immortal lords advance for a little while before I inform the Chakravarti Ghostly King. If I do that, the Astral Guardian Field will be easier to breach and an intense battle will break out between the two parties......"

This wasn't triggered by Wu Yu but decisions that the immortal lords had made. Therefore, any tragedy that happened subsequently wouldn't have anything to do with Wu Yu.

In a way, he was also helping the immortal lords. The later the Chakravarti Ghostly King arrived, the smaller the threat to them.

"The Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Mo Yuji definitely won't miss the huge commotion. It was because the Astral Guardian Field was too air-tight that they didn't spot anything amiss. The five parties will likely follow the crowd of immortal lords in hopes of benefitting from the chaos. However, once Mo Yuji and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord are here, their performance in the Prismatic Thunderball might be better than mine!

"In fact, both of them might be able to secure the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King swiftly."

Therefore, Wu Yu would have to pay particular attention to both of them.

Regardless, he also knew that the Chakravarti Ghostly King would definitely focus the defence against both of them as well. The Chakravarti Ghostly King was definitely thinking of using the Soul Jockey Technique against them.

The Chakravarti Ghostly King was at least at the fifth tier of the Great Void Ghostly Realm. He might not be able to deal with Wu Yu, but handling Mo Yuji and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord should be an easy task.

Wu Yu didn't dare to underestimate the Chakravarti Ghostly King. If he could control Zhao Yuanchen, he naturally could control the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. At the same time, he could make the Gu Huo Immortal Lord stronger. When the time came, he would definitely have the greatest chance of getting the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King.

Nonetheless, Wu Yu felt that the Jade Emperor would never let a ghostly immortal earn it.......

Finally, after a "difficult journey", he arrived before the Prismatic Thunderball.

"Shit!" Once he arrived at the place, he put his acting skills to full use as he screamed and yelled.

"What? Shouting and yelling, don't you have any decency?" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord treasured time alone with her father. They were chatting happily when she became annoyed at the sight of Wu Yu.

"What's wrong with your attitude!" Wu Yu berated.

"Alright, if you have something to say, speak!" The Chakravarti Ghostly King was a little cold as well.

Wu Yu answered, "That... Several hundred thousand immortal lords have shown up outside the Astral Guardian Field. Uncles have instructed me to rush here to inform Father. Those immortal lords are similar to the hundred-odd immortals we've seen previously. All of them are elite immortal lords with strength similar to mine."

"What!?" the Chakravarti Ghostly King yelled and sprung up. He was astonished.

"Several hundred thousand? Are you sure?" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord paled and wasn't convinced by Wu Yu.

"If you don't believe me, you can go take a look yourself."

"Follow me!"

The Chakravarti Ghostly King pulled one of them with each hand before turning around and releasing the giant Vengeful Hell Spirits Chakravarti to trap the Prismatic Thunderball and Zhao Yuanchen. Only then did he feel assured to leave. After all, the Astral Guardian Field outside had yet to be breached!

"Did the sky palaces open a path to my Astral Hell? Why are thousands of immortal lords here? This isn't a small matter! Who's playing this joke on us? The Jade Emperor? Sending them here to contest for the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King?"

The Chakravarti Ghostly King was exasperated.
