From the first to the last, they were Wu Yu, the Xuanyang Emperor Lord, the Tundra Hell Master, and Mo Yuji.

Now each of them stood on a separate pillar within the glowing sphere.

Among them, Wu Yu now had five Rainbow Pearls, the Xuanyang Emperor Lord and Mo Yuji had two each, while the Tundra Hell Master, who had just arrived, got the final one. In all, it summed up to ten.

Although Wu Yu had obtained two Rainbow Pearls using the identities of the Qing Xuan Immortal Lord and the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord separately, he believed that the others could tell after the multiple events that had unfolded since. They probably knew that the Qing Xuan Immortal Lord, who had vanished without a trace after appearing once, and the frenzied White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, who had a brilliant performance, were all the same person before them.

Therefore, all three of them knew Wu Yu had five Rainbow Pearls with him!

Wu Yu could visibly see the other three looking at him cautiously.

What would be happening next?

This was what all four of them were most concerned with. It was hard to fathom the thoughts of the Jade Emperor. Who knew what unbelievable events would unfold before them again?

All of a sudden, everything started changing.

Before Wu Yu could react, he realized that the central glowing sphere, where the four of them were in, started inflating rapidly. Moreover, the pace was getting quicker and quicker! 

Outside, there was still a large number of mini worlds. Within them, some of the immortals and ghostly immortals were just a step from the central glowing sphere.

The central glowing sphere collided into their glowing spheres or mini worlds. If they were in their glowing spheres, they would be pushed outwards. If they were in the mini worlds, the mini worlds would separate into two glowing spheres upon contact. The people battling inside would be redistributed before being pushed outwards.

Within a short period, the central glowing sphere inflated to fill the entire 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King. The other glowing spheres were pushed towards the inner walls of the 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King like a bunch of grapes.

The central glowing sphere was small to begin with. However, it was almost as large as the entire 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King currently.

Wu Yu and the rest were still on the four pillars. From where they were, they could see billions of people leaning toward the exterior walls of the central glowing sphere with their eyes wide open, waiting to witness a show. They couldn't move and couldn't leave their smaller glowing spheres. After they were pushed to the corners, they were neatly aligned while waiting for the show to begin.

Wu Yu and the other three were still on the stone pillars. However, they could sense that something would definitely happen to the stone pillars that were trapping them. With the central glowing sphere inflating to this size, the area it encompassed was comparable to a colossal battlefield. All of them had ample space within, and several billion competitors were watching them in close proximity!

The looks on the three parties were changing. Clearly, no one knew what was going to happen next.

It was a strange feeling for the quartet facing off. Every one of them could sense the threat coming from the rest.

In fact, even the billions of people watching from outside noticed the strange atmosphere. They held their breaths while waiting for the next development.

Suddenly! The four pillars vanished, to the surprise of everyone. 

What did this mean?

Wu Yu quickly understood the situation.

This was probably the signal that they could move freely within the gigantic central glowing sphere!

At the same time, it would be the start of the battle.

All four of them had the same first reaction at the first instant!

That was to back off abruptly to open up distance between one another. Previously, they were too close together. In just a breath of time, all four of them were distributed evenly within the central glowing sphere. 

Just as expected, they were able to move freely!

"All of us have Rainbow Pearls on us. In other words, we will be fighting against one another while competing for the Rainbow Pearls on others. Only the final one standing will stand a chance to get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King! With only four of us, it will be a contest of wits and brawn. As for who will have the last laugh, it won't just be about individual strength......"

Wu Yu observed the other three cautiously while he organized his thoughts. He knew that this was the setting thought up by the Jade Emperor, and this setting could lead to endless possibilities. It wasn't just about the clash of individual strength, but also one's attitude, abilities, and intelligence.

From the Prismatic Thunderball to the current power struggle between these four, there were too many challenges imbued into the setting. If one didn't possess exceptional abilities, it would be hard to reach this stage. Furthermore, any small changes in this process, such as one who obtained a Rainbow Pearl failing to reach the final four, would mean that everything would be pointless in the final power struggle.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor had claimed that it was more likely that no one would end up with the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King.

It was a tough process. Fortunately, there was someone like Wu Yu, who had fought his way through hurdles to bring five Rainbow Pearls in. Otherwise, it would be a futile attempt by the other three despite their efforts to get here.

Even the designer of it had probably overlooked this situation!

The outsiders probably knew little about the current situation. Regardless, they knew that all four of them would give their all in this contest of wits and brawn. As spectators, they no longer felt any stress and could just focus on watching the show.

There might even be fatalities in this contest. If they knew that descendants of immortal emperors and eternal devil emperors like the White Chalk Ghostly Lord and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord had died in battle, they would likely be flabbergasted.

Wu Yu believed that the other three had thought of this issue.

The Tundra Hell Master first turned towards Wu Yu and remarked calmly, "I'm guessing both the Qing Xuan Immortal Lord and the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord are you. In other words, you have five Rainbow Pearls on you, taking the total to ten. It seems like you did us a great favor."

What she had in mind was thanking Wu Yu for bringing the Rainbow Pearls in. However, it wasn't a sincere thought.

The Xuanyang Emperor Lord and Mo Yuji were still observing the ever-changing Wu Yu, who instilled fear in them. Clearly, Wu Yu was the one they were most fearful of, especially so for his transformation ability. Obviously, they were also eyeing the five Rainbow Pearls on him.

"Everyone is well aware of who's the most dangerous person in this place. Why don't we finish him off first and remove the uncertainty before we continue?" The Tundra Hell Master could no longer wait patiently. Wu Yu and the rest had yet to show any desire to act, while she felt like it was especially crucial to take this opportunity to remove the greatest and unknown threat: Wu Yu.

Upon hearing this, the Xuanyang Emperor Lord seemed to agree to standing alongside the Tundra Hell Master. The Tundra Hell Master could also choose to serve him. As both of them were ghostly immortals, Wu Yu wasn't particularly worried. Mo Yuji was quick to catch on and knew who she should be targeting.

"That won't do. Once you guys finish him off, I'll be next." After making the statement, Mo Yuji edged towards Wu Yu as a display of her sincerity.

Among the four of them, the ties between the Xuanyang Emperor Lord and the Tundra Hell Master were the easiest to establish. Although Mo Yuji had nothing to do with the Chifeng Immortal Lord, they were both immortal lords. Once she lost Wu Yu on her side, she would definitely be the next target of the duo. At the same time, she wasn't confident she could face the other two at the same time. Therefore, the most sensible choice was to ally with Wu Yu.

In that case, the two factions representing the Sky Palaces and Hell were formed. Without hesitation, Mo Yuji took the initiative to move beside Wu Yu. Her eyes were clear and exchanged a glance with Wu Yu. At this moment, her black hair flew freely and her dress fluttered in the wind. Her voice was cold but clear, elegant, and had a unique charisma that an ordinary person couldn't match. 

She was the authentic fairy that was described in the legends of the mortals. Quiet, tranquil, exceptional, and beyond the world. It was natural that she would defeat Qin Yunling.

The fact that she had killed her way to this stage was clear testament to her remarkable abilities.

"Have you decided? Once I'm done with them, I won't hold back against you," Wu Yu remarked with a cheeky smile.

"Don't be too confident in yourself. Everyone is clear of your tricks. Obviously, I won't hold back against you either. You just have to do your best before we clash." Mo Yuji seemed to be born with a cold personality. Even though she had allied with Wu Yu, she kept her usual tone and there was no variation in her emotions.

For those outside, although they couldn't hear others, they could clearly hear the conversation within the central glowing sphere. Many ghostly immortals weren't pleased with Wu Yu's overconfidence. After all, they were currently in the 10,000 Levels of Hell. This was their territory, and most of them had probably deciphered Wu Yu's true identity as an immortal. Hearing him belittling the ghostly immortals, the anger within them was triggered.

"He's probably feeling inflated now!"

"He defeated the Chakravarti Ghostly King and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, so there's nothing to doubt about his strength. However, the other two have also made their way to the final stage!"

"Since he's so arrogant, it's entirely within expectations that he will be the first to be eliminated."

However, some felt that the haughty attitude displayed by Wu Yu would strengthen Mo Yuji's trust in him, and he wouldn't turn his back on her. What he said had offended the other two while deepening the ties between the individuals of the two groups. 

As such, Mo Yuji stood beside Wu Yu without hesitation. She was smart to recognize that her only chance was to face off against Wu Yu in the final clash. If it wasn't so, the other two would definitely not allow her to persevere to the end. After all, the Tundra Hell Master couldn't possibly choose not to help the Xuanyang Emperor Lord.

This battle was being watched by several billion people.

If he acted otherwise, how would he explain himself to the Beiyin Necropolis Grand Emperor when he got out?

Anyone with intelligence could tell that the circumstances in the battlefield wouldn't change for now. The standoff had ended, but to prevent their teammates from turning on them, they would clearly choose to fight alone. Therefore, they had to choose their opponents.

Wu Yu wouldn't accept Mo Yuji's rejection and said, "Help me hold back the Xuanyang Emperor Lord while I kill that old fool. Right after that, I'll work with you to finish him off before having the final battle with you."

"Why aren't I taking the Tundra Hell Master? Are you confident you will finish her off quickly? Are you sure?" 

"You bet I am. Wu Yu grinned.
