Evidently, the final contact was between all three, and they had surrounded the three pearls in the middle, which had been swept in as well!

Of course, Wu Yu could not care so much about the reason!

After all his effort, the three pearls were right before him, as well as the other two rivals. It was the height of their struggle, and the point of highest tension.

All three moved without further thought!

They locked on to the three pearls!

They moved at virtually the same moment. Of course, Wu Yu's speed was fastest with the Fulgurating Shadows.

However, to their surprise, before they had actually gotten cracking, the three Rainbow Pearls flew towards three directions.

Towards Wu Yu and the others.

Of course, they did not hesitate to take the Rainbow Pearl flying towards them.

They had thought that there would be some twist, but Wu Yu very easily obtained his second Rainbow Pearl. He quickly put it into the Floating Dreams Pagoda for safekeeping.

That way, if others wanted his treasure, they would have to kill him.

This was good news. 

The bad news was that the other two, the 1 and Qin Yunling, had also obtained one Rainbow Pearl each.

They were no fools, so it would not be easy to take theirs away from them.

He might have to kill them, or at the very least injure them grievously to even stand a chance.

When they each obtained a pearl, the mini world did not crumble. Nothing else changed.

"Does this imply that we're supposed to fight it out amongst ourselves?"

Wu Yu's mind was especially clear in this beautiful world, and the other two had come to the same conclusion.

Wu Yu quickly scanned their faces.

The Xuanyang Emperor Lord's face was impassive, a slight frown creasing his brow.

Qin Yunling reacted very quickly. She consciously positioned herself close to Wu Yu, turning to face the Xuanyang Emperor Lord. She put on a confident face, as if she had already dismissed Wu Yu's groping from her mind. She said, "White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, help me! You will have my deep gratitude in the future!"

At least Wu Yu had promised her his allegiance before.

But after Wu Yu killed the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord, she was happy to sever ties.

And now she needed Wu Yu. After all, there were only three. If Wu Yu teamed up with the other opponent, then she was the one who was doomed.

She had not fallen out with Wu Yu just yet, and this was exactly the time that she needed Wu Yu's help. If she teamed up with him now, no one else could see either.

The three faced off. Their biggest fear was being singled out. Wu Yu had a connection with Qin Yunling, and he played by that script now. If they could team up to finish off the Xuanyang Emperor Lord, then how difficult would it be to deal with Qin Yunling afterwards?

Qin Yunling was probably thinking the same thing. Of course, she had to consider if she was Wu Yu's match too!

In any case, they should deal with the Xuanyang Emperor Lord first. That was not in question.

"Alright!"

Both acted swiftly. After all, they did not know what would happen next within the stopped space!

Holding the Tragic Mirror aloft, Qin Yunling immediately clashed with the Xuanyang Emperor Lord. She needed Wu Yu to do what he had done against the White Chalk Ghostly Lord - use his Fulgurating Shadows and striking from the shadows.

The fight broke out in earnest!

The Xuanyang Emperor Lord's expression was cold. He did not speak, but he seemed confident that he controlled the field. Seeing the double team incoming, he dodged backwards from the Tragic Mirror's attack and then started to activate his power in the Nine Moons Devil Emperor's Battle Axe!

The Nine Moons Heavenly Rule scythed out, and nine beams of dark, serpent-like power blocked the attack from the Tragic Mirror.

Wu Yu put all his effort in as well, matching Qin Yunling's efforts. He wanted to get all three Rainbow Pearls quickly too! And then he would have four! He had already borne the risk of killing the White Chalk Ghostly Lord and the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord. If he could not take these Rainbow Pearls, it would be a huge waste!

The Xuanyang Emperor Lord was sandwiched between the two, facing a wild assault. Although the situation was dangerous, he could stand up to it. He fought with icy composure and also watched the water veil around them for a chance to flee. 

"White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, if I lose, then you, who have fought in three consecutive battles, will be defeated by her as well. She will be the ultimate winner.

"You killed the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord, so now she will sever ties with you. She is obviously just using you as a tool."

In the midst of the battle, the Xuanyang Emperor Lord spoke to Wu Yu in his deep voice.

Wu Yu knew all this. But after those two fights, Wu Yu was already very confident. He simply needed to avoid being the person who was ganged up on.

"Cut the nonsense! Cut the discord sowing! I fight for the Young Palace Master! The treasures I get are, of course, hers! And the Young Palace Master will shelter me!"

Just as Qin Yunling started to feel a little insecure, Wu Yu shouted this naive answer that reassured her.

It seemed like they had a good synergy going on, and they were pressing their advantage against the Xuanyang Emperor Lord, just like they had against the White Chalk Ghostly Lord!

The suppression seemed to be going well. Qin Yunling had occupied a large portion of the Xuanyang Emperor Lord's fighting power and concentration. If he did not deal with the Tragic Heavenly Rule, being caught up in it would cause many troubles.

As for Wu Yu, his Fulgurating Shadows carried him from left to right, using the opportunity to execute his mystiques. He even used the Submerged Cloud Seal, giving the Xuanyang Emperor Lord a taste of a voidquake.

At this moment, virtually the entire stopped space was crowded with mini worlds. At the same time, there were many ghostly immortals who still continued to rush inwards. The entire place was knocked about, creating even more mini worlds. As the stopped space grew saturated with mini worlds, the centermost mini world bore the most pressure, and it exploded!

Weng!

Wu Yu was in the thick of battle when suddenly the world's water veil and terrain started to shudder violently and then cracked apart. The entire world dissolved into confusion!

Forget an opponent, Wu Yu could not even see anything in front of him. But he could sense that the explosion of this mini world caused the other mini worlds to also begin exploding with huge booms. Closely following that, all of the mini worlds in the stopped space were triggered and exploded!

Wu Yu could not see anything but gushing water!

Bang, bang, bang!

No one could predict what would happen next. Besides a torrent of soil and water, the silver dagger maelstrom had also entered the mix. This implied that the explosion had rippled through the entire Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere epochal immortal design.

Wu Yu remembered that after the three Rainbow Pearls had been obtained, the Prismatic Thunderball had begun to fade. It seemed like the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere was also imploding and fading!

He, of course, wanted to get the other two Rainbow Pearls, first by defeating the Xuanyang Emperor Lord and then defeating Qin Yunling. But now he had no idea where the two of them had gone. In the confusion, the overwhelming energy barreled him onwards, sending him tumbling out. He could also hear the other ghostly immortals or see them occasionally. They were being knocked around too.

"Seems like I missed that chance."

 But luckily, he might have a chance. Right now, the Xuanyang Emperor Lord and Qin Yunling both knew that the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord had a Rainbow Pearl, and the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord had also killed the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord. Therefore, it was no longer a viable identity.

He had previously devoured the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, including his memories. His Abominable Hook Soul Chains were also with Wu Yu, through which the Abominable Hook Heavenly Rule could be used. This was much stronger than the Lasting Blood Heavenly Rule.

When the epochal immortal design faded, causing confusion and disorder everywhere, Wu Yu protected himself. Carried out by the flow, he could feel the power ebbing, and he could see that the entire Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere was all but vanished!

The starry skies appeared before him, and all of the ghostly immortals were split up. Wu Yu saw that basically every inch of sky was occupied by stunned ghostly immortals.

They had just gotten their footing, and had yet to look around them. Wu Yu was done processing everything about the White Chalk Ghostly Lord. With a twist of his body, he was pale, as if he had been slathered in a thick layer of chalk. His bright, red tongue was hidden in his mouth, and its length could be shown off if he stuck it out.

The Replicate ability was from the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast itself. Who would dare to think that he was not the White Chalk Ghostly Lord?

At this time, Wu Yu could naturally perform the White Chalk Ghostly Lord's identity. He had been defeated by the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord and ousted from the competition. And now the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere was gone, meaning the treasures had been taken away. Of course, he was howling with fury!

"Blood Abyss Hell Master! Empty Air Hell Master! Thunder Ray Hell Master! Volcanic Hell Master! Get over here!" These were the Hell Masters loyal to him, especially the Volcanic Hell Master, who seemed to be in conflict with the White Chalk Ghostly Lord from the start. That was all a pretense, and he had long pledged himself to the White Chalk Ghostly Lord.

By the rules of the game, the White Chalk Ghostly Lord should not have called them, but now he had lost to Wu Yu, and his treasure was snatched away. He was beside himself with rage, and this misjudgment was understandable.
