Chapter 1063: Firefly

Prince Yu was relying on his strength to be shameless here .

After all, he was the oldest prince and almost certainly the representative of the Yan Huang Tribe in the Ancient Soul Tower .

Wu Yu could understand his intentions . He knew that Prince Yu and the Ancient Emperor had a unique relations.h.i.+p . This relations.h.i.+p was definitely stronger than Prince Le and the Ancient Emperor's .

He had cultivated for close to 500 years . If he failed to get through the final two dao calamities within a century, he would die and his dao would return to the earth . His hundreds of years of hard work would be in vain .

He could now smell the taste of death . Therefore, his craving for the Yan Huang Golden Bead would only be more intense . However, he did not have confidence in himself as he felt that the Ancient Emperor had never shown him real concern . On the other hand, there were obvious signs that Prince Le was getting all the attention from the Ancient Emperor .

Considering his standing and the fact that he was willing to put himself down in an attempt to follow Prince Le and pick whatever remained, this was a testament that he was willing to sacrifice everything for the Yan Huang Golden Bead .

Facing a person like him directly would be extremely dangerous .

After Prince Yu was done with his words and when Wu Yu and the group turned around to leave, he seemed to have vanished into thin air . He had the strength of an eighth tier Dao Querying cultivator and many of his dao techniques were at the pinnacle of their kind .

When he concealed himself to follow the group, only Wu Yu could notice his presence with his Eyes of Fire and Gold . However, he was elusive and changed rapidly and unpredictably . It was hard to locate him for long . In a way, this was a peak ability, and just as Wu Yu had said, they couldn't possibly shake him off .

After experiencing a drastic increase in strength and yet having Prince Yu followed so closely behind, Prince Le and the group naturally felt annoyed . Initially, they wanted to focus fully on searching for the Yan Huang Golden Bead . Now, with Prince Yu around, the Yan Huang Golden Bead would never be theirs .

"Do you have any way to shake Prince Yu off?"

"Don't get your hopes up . Although we have made huge improvements and made several breakthroughs, we still aren't a match for Prince Yu, who could be our grandfather in terms of age .

"Shaking him off while he has his eyes on us would be harder than ascending to heaven, especially when we have so many people on our end . "

Qu Haoyan and the rest were a little dejected . They were in high spirits after being through the metamorphosis . Who knew they would suffer a setback right away?

"Regardless, let's stick with our initial goal to reach the third level of the Ancient Soul Tower first . What do you think, Wu Yu?" Prince Le had made his decision .

From his consulting tone, he was actually asking Wu Yu to make the final decision .

"Please give me another day before heading to the third level of the Ancient Soul Tower," Wu Yu answered .

Although he didn't know what Wu Yu was planning, Prince Le chose to trust him . He could also continue loitering around the flaming world in the meantime and might find something for himself .

At the very least, he could find out if any major incidents had taken place over the last twenty-odd days .

When Prince Le agreed, they were shocked to realize that the Wu Yu around them was no longer the same as before . He had been replaced with the white-haired, red-eyed Heaven Devouring Avatar . The current Wu Yu was wearing a black outfit and looked evil but good-looking . He had a colder demeanor that was more similar to the Full Moon of Nanshan, like a demon . Compared to the Full Moon of Nanshan, he didn't possess a frivolous and flamboyant disposition, but had a more sinister look and expression .

All of them felt weird to have this Wu Yu following them . He was just like a different person . Only when he spoke did they know that this was the same Wu Yu as before .

As for Wu Yu's main body, he had entered the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da .

His objective this time was to challenge the puppet in the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da .

The Heaven Devouring Avatar was still lingering at the fourth tier of the Dao Querying Realm and wouldn't be a match for the new puppet . Therefore, Wu Yu had chosen to let the main body come in to challenge it alone .

The reason why he had requested for a day from Prince Le was because of this . In fact, it wouldn't take a full day . This was because a day outside would be five days in the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da . Five days was sufficient time for him to challenge stronger puppets .

Initially, Wu Yu was a little nervous . Being at the 10th tier of the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm, the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da would have nine puppets if it was the same as previous times . The strongest would be equivalent to an eighth tier Dao Querying cultivator, or someone at the level of Prince Yu . In a way, it could be considered as an extremely rare supreme expert in the entire Jambu Realm .

If there really was, it would prove that the value of the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da was extremely high . Even at this current level, the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da showed no intention of truly submitting to Wu Yu . Up to this point, everything was still shrouded in mystery .

A dao treasure that had a puppet equivalent to an eighth tier Dao Querying cultivator or even more would have a way higher value than an ordinary seraphic dao treasure .

Obviously, Wu Yu's target of challenge wouldn't be the puppet equivalent to an eighth tier Dao Querying cultivator . He knew himself well, and his ability to challenge opponents eight tiers above him lied on his physical strength and mystiques . His physical strength and mystiques hadn't made any improvements, he had just enhanced his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy . And considering he would be challenging this puppet with just his main body, it would be a wiser choice to only challenge the puppet equivalent to a sixth tier Dao Querying cultivator .

He relaxed soon after .

This was because after he chose to challenge the puppet, there were puppets in all nine spirit designs . The final black and white spirit designs held the puppets equivalent to seventh and eighth tier Dao Querying Realm puppets .

At this point, Wu Yu couldn't help but question, "If I raise my cultivation level by two more tiers, will there be a 10th tier Dao Querying puppet? That's the level approaching an immortal! Anything above would be a true immortal . In other words, the limits of the puppets in the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da might very well be the limits of a mortal!"

Obviously, Wu Yu wouldn't be so naive to believe there would be immortal-level puppets . This was simply impossible . An immortal couldn't be created by other immortals . Even if the master of the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da was an immortal, it wouldn't be possible .

However, if the limits were the limits of a mortal, the value of the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da would exceed all seraphic dao treasures . It might just be a divine dao treasure with 1,000,000 spirit designs that only existed in the legends!

Harboring excitement and a strong desire for battle, Wu Yu skipped the fifth tier Dao Querying puppet to challenge the sixth tier Dao Querying puppet in the purple spirit design . Although he used to challenge puppets in the white spirit design and had reverted back by two levels now, Wu Yu wasn't particularly concerned . This was a sign that his weakness was getting mitigated . As for the improvements in his physical body and mystiques, he had never worried about them .

Piercing through the glow of the spirit design, he could vaguely see that the puppet within the fifth tier Dao Querying spirit design was a little similar to the Seven Stars Iron Winged Bug . It was also a bug, and its appearance was similar to a praying mantis, slender and razor-sharp .

In the next purple spirit design, there was another source of light within the spirit design . When Wu Yu chose to challenge this puppet, the light glowed brighter and the other spirit designs vanished . When the spirit design intensified in luminosity, the glow didn't dissipate but changed abruptly into a ball of green light .

Wu Yu was a little shocked by the appearance of the puppet .

"Firefly?"

First the Seven Stars Iron Winged Bug and then the puppet that resembled a praying mantis in the fifth tier Dao Querying spirit design . . . The stronger sixth tier Dao Querying puppet was surprisingly a species of firefly .

Taking a closer look, other than the glowing end of the firefly, the other parts were similar to the Seven Stars Iron Winged Bug . They were made up of metal . In terms of materials, it would likely be better than the Seven Stars Iron Winged Bug . The spirit designs fas.h.i.+oned over the firefly were also a lot more complicated and numerous than the Seven Stars Iron Winged Bug . It was especially so around the glowing tail area, which was clearly the amalgamation of various spirit designs . Although the firefly didn't look as impressive as the Seven Stars Iron Winged Bug, the firefly was one to two tiers above it .

One would easily expect the existing puppets spirit design to be more unique and tightly packed . In the very moment, the firefly launched attacks towards Wu Yu without hesitation . The first transformation was sufficient to shock Wu Yu . This was because it seemed to be creating clones of itself . . . .

First, some spirit designs were triggered . The light on it started glowing more intensely, shrouding the entire body . Shortly after, the entire firefly became a beautiful, glittering, faint, green orb . After which, the green fluorescent orb rapidly doubled . When it did, the light didn't fade and only the number increased . . . .

Immediately after, the two fluorescent orbs doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and quintupled consistently . After roughly ten breaths of time, the interior of the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da was densely packed with the fluorescent orbs . This was a breathtaking scene . Other than painting a beautiful scene, the fluorescent orbs didn't appear to be anything special . However, Wu Yu could feel that through the series of changes, the countless clones of the glow encompa.s.sed terrifying power .

Wu Yu naturally wouldn't dare to drop his guard . With his current vast Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy, he used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth in the first instant and became a giant under the green fluorescent orbs . Immediately after, he used the Immortal Ape Transformation and held the Infernal Sky Pillar of Nine Fetters in his hand . At this point, Wu Yu released the full strength of the Infernal Sky Pillar .

When he got prepared, it was just as he had expected . The fluorescent orbs suddenly smashed towards him like meteorites . The seemingly gentle glows released unbelievable destructive force at the points of impact . The destructive forces didn't cause loud booms, they looked more like simple taps . But the immense impacts forced Wu Yu to use the Immovable Nine Palaces Design to protect himself . However, Wu Yu soon found his Immovable Nine Palaces Design unable to take the barrage of attacks and was gradually destroyed .

Even with his vast and powerful Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy to sustain it, the Infernal Sky Pillar was still breached within ten breaths of time .
