Chapter 1459: Rules of the Game

Based on strength and the ability to see through the rules of the game, there were definitely people quicker than him. 

The descendants of eternal devil emperors and immortal emperors were definitely not weak.

This was a contest of endurance in endless killing. At the same time, it was also an assessment of their strength and killing speed!

The people that spanned endlessly were all making their dashes towards the central glowing sphere!

Some were quick, while others were slower. Some battles were decided instantly, while others might take days and nights without coming to a conclusion.

For the latter, they were destined to not make a deep run even if they did defeat their opponents eventually.

Through rounds of eliminations by the rules of the game, the person that emerged would definitely be the strongest, quickest, and had the best luck to constantly advance.

For now, Wu Yu was a good example of someone like this. This was because he was frighteningly quick, and regardless if his opponents were immortal lords or ghostly lords, he could defeat them with a single strike by relying on his physical body’s world power. Obviously, lady luck was also shining on him as he had yet to face any tough opponents thus far.

After all, there were over two billion of them. Among which, the majority couldn't withstand a strike from Wu Yu. He had no idea how many rounds he would have to get through to eventually meet a compelling opponent!

After moving several dozen cells forward, Wu Yu turned around and could see those eliminated at the start getting back into their glowing spheres and detaching from the interior wall of the massive sphere to move forward. These people didn't have much hope. The fact that they were eliminated so rapidly suggested that it didn't matter how many times they tried.

The rules of the game that allowed them to rejoin would be precious for two superb experts meeting early. When one was defeated, he could still start anew and might still stand a chance.

For the majority of the people, this was a waste of time.

It was especially so for those who had barely crossed the Immortal Lord Realm.

With his overwhelming strength, Wu Yu was way ahead, with few around him that could possibly put up a decent fight!

Even 9-realm ghostly lords or 9-realm immortal lords could basically be defeated with a single strike.

Unless he encountered ghostly kings or the descendants of the elite eternal devil emperors or immortal emperors, no one could slow down his progress.

And now that he was using the identity of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, many who encountered him would be too intimidated to even resist. They could only lament their bad luck. If they resisted even the slightest, they might be slaughtered on the spot, judging from the personality of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord.

Although his opponents were getting stronger as he progressed, Wu Yu hadn't met anyone that could even hinder his progress after more than a hundred battles and advancing through more than a hundred cells!

"I still stand a chance! I cannot waste any time here. Moreover, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, Mo Yuji, and the Xuanyang Emperor Lord are definitely here too!"

This was a great opportunity for him to achieve eternal life in the future! At this point, he could finally that claim the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King was right before his eyes.

Looking across, endless battles were going on within the massive sphere. Although the people battling in the mini worlds were shrunk down extensively, it wasn't hard for ghostly lords and immortal lords to see from afar.

They could even vaguely see the pace of others. At this moment, many were still advancing rapidly. Therefore, speed wasn't the key. Instead, the crux was who could continue winning and make it to the end!

Wu Yu became numb to the endless battles quickly. However, he was still extremely anxious. No one would feel great about the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King slipping past when one had the strength to contest for it!

The glowing sphere rolled into the next cell, and almost instantly, another glowing sphere collided into the cell.

Two people were swept into the mini world to battle in the scenic field. An alluring girl with purple eyes showed up in front of Wu Yu, her purple hair moving with the wind. The charming girl was none other than the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord. Wu Yu had not expected to encounter someone he knew so quickly and ended up laughing.

However, when she saw him, she became gloomy and cold. Seemingly preoccupied by worries, she said, "I did not expect to meet you here. I hope the White Chalk Ghostly Lord could be gracious to a girl and show mercy in battle."

Wu Yu thought he was still using the identity of White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. Upon hearing her, he finally recalled that he was the White Chalk Ghostly Lord. She definitely knew the personality of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord and could also sense his subtle desire to "own" her previously.

"Should I try to act as I would? Should I taunt her a little?"

 Wu Yu thought to himself. 

"Forget it. Now that I've to charge ahead, who has the time to worry about others seeing through my identity?"

At this point, he knew he could no longer continue the act and answered, "Time is tight and you are unfortunate to meet me. You can start from scratch again."

After he was done speaking, he acted immediately. Facing the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, he didn't have to use the Abominable Hook Soul Chains yet. On the other hand, he had yet to use the Lifebreaking Darkness Brush officially. He retrieved it, and the tip of the long brush was circled by a stream of dullish aura! 

"Isn't that the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord's......"

"After he's dead, I picked it up. Haha! The only shame is that the miser Judge Wangfeng will definitely want it back when everything ends, and I have no option but to return it!" Wu Yu held the Lifebreaking Darkness Brush and started painting a huge Lifebreaking word that swept towards the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord!

The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was astounded. Although she had the Amethyst Hell Shadowy God Starry Sword, her Astral Hell Heavenly Rule collapsed instantly under the domineering strength of the Lifebreaking Darkness Brush. The Lifebreaking Darkness Brush surrounded her body, invaded, and dealt extensive damage in a split second!

The battle ended!

The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord had never expected the White Chalk Ghostly Lord to act against his norm and be so ruthless and decisive against her. This didn't match the personality of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord.

However, giving it more thought, she could understand that in the face of the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, he was probably like an ant on a hot plate. For her to stand before him and hinder his progress, the fact that he was willing to speak to her probably suggested she was someone special!

Having been severely injured by the Lifebreaking word, she would lose at least a thousand years of her life!

At this moment, the mini world started collapsing. She had a hard time reaching this spot and was about to return to square one to start anew. Her hopes were dwindling quickly.

However, losing to the White Chalk Ghostly Lord wasn't something unacceptable.

It was just that at this moment, the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was about to leave willingly. All of a sudden, he saw the eyes of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord after he struck. Those eyes were passionate, direct, seemingly capable of seeing through her thoughts, and blazed through the filth of this world!

She felt like she had seen those eyes before!

Her mind was fuzzy with images.

However, those eyes were etched vividly in her consciousness.

The next instant, another figure showed up before her. She couldn't help but blurt, "White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, it's you! No, it isn't you either!"

As the Chakravarti Ghostly King had said, the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord that defeated her was no longer the same White-Eyed Ghostly Lord as before.

However, the White Chalk Ghostly Lord before her had similar vibes as the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord! For the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, what she saw was based on her intuition. This had arisen abruptly, and despite countless pieces of evidence showing otherwise, it was hard for her to restrain her imagination!

It was especially so when she shouted out the name of the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. There were apparent changes to Wu Yu's eyes when she did!

The next instant, she was moved off the place. In a split second, Wu Yu was back in the glowing sphere and moving to the next cell. When he turned around, he could no longer see the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, and he didn't know which glowing sphere hanging on the interior wall belonged to her.

"She found out?"

 Wu Yu was a little surprised as he had not expected the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord to see through his Replicate.

However, it didn't matter. Who would find out that his true identity was "Wu Yu"? Over this period, Wu Yu had made numerous transformations and taken on many identities. As for the origin identity, no one knew. In fact, even if he reverted to his true form, no one would know if that was truly his identity.

The most the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord could conclude was that the White Chalk Ghostly Lord wasn't the White Chalk Ghostly Lord and that the White Chalk Ghostly Lord wasn't the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. However, how could she possibly understand his true identity? If she had seen through the identity of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, Wu Yu could just switch to the next.

Therefore, he didn't read too much into it and continued his advance.

"The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord is still fine. Her father, the Chakravarti Ghostly King, definitely told her about the identity of the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. If she informs the Chakravarti Ghostly King that I'm a bogus White Chalk Ghostly Lord, it would be cumbersome. However, within the glowing sphere, Immortal Message Talismans won't get through. There should be nothing I have to worry about for now."

However, even though he knew, it didn't matter. Wu Yu could just switch back to the Chifeng Immortal Lord, and the battles in this place were all one-on-one!

As Wu Yu advanced, his opponents got stronger.

Obviously, countless people had been sent back to the starting point. A true expert was one that bulldozed through without stopping. When dealing with the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, Wu Yu had wasted quite an amount of time.

He had always wanted to find out if the strength of those at the Great Void Ghostly Realm was restricted within the 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King!

Finally, after defeating an opponent after the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, Wu Yu encountered a ghostly king!

This ghostly king was a subordinate of the Lightning Omen Hell Master, named the Lightning Funeral Ghostly King. As for the Lightning Omen Hell Master, he was probably serving the Xuanyang Emperor Lord.

The White Chalk Ghostly Lord was well aware of the strength of the Lightning Funeral Ghostly King. He was at the second tier of the Great Void Ghostly Realm, and under normal circumstances, Wu Yu wouldn't stand any chance against a second tier Great Void Ghostly Realm expert when he was just a 6-realm immortal lord. 

Perhaps his progress would be ended by the Lightning Funeral Ghostly King. After all, he was a ghostly king serving the White Chalk Ghostly Lord's competitor. Intercepting the White Chalk Ghostly Lord in this place would definitely warrant him handsome rewards.

Therefore, he looked a tad excited when he saw Wu Yu.

The ghostly immortals of the Lightning Omen Hell battled amidst bolts of lightning throughout time. They were known for their fiery tempers and direct personalities. When they had disagreements with others, it was natural to see them kill and plunder the other party's belongings. The Lightning Funeral Ghostly King was surrounded by blood-red lightning serpents, and his afro-like hair was made of scarlet lightning serpents. When he saw the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, he licked his lips, and Wu Yu could see even lightning serpents slithering across his tongue.

"White Chalk Ghostly Lord, I apologize for offending you," remarked the Lightning Funeral Ghostly King solemnly before charging furiously at Wu Yu. The battle ensued!
