C1704 Defeat
C1704 Defeat
Thus, in the ancient texts, there was a bold prediction made by the ancestors.
Those who could pass Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury were born extraordinary. Their karmic luck was heaven defying and they had the appearance of being the champion.
In other words, the champion of battles of trials might not necessarily be able to pass Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury, and the person who could pass Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury was the beloved of the heavens, someone who would definitely become the champion.
At this moment, Lu Jun and Wu Qiankun flew up at the same time, their gazes looking towards the deepest parts of Huangquan Road, as though they had the same thought.
Wu Qiankun boasted of being unrivaled talent, possessing the first name of a Heaven Martial Ranking for many years, and had even stepped into the Borderless Stage many years ago. He could have actually long tried to break through, but he did not, because today, he wanted to challenge the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury.
With history behind him, he had no chance of becoming number one, so he would be number two.
From ancient times until now, the battles of trials had hosted who knows how many sessions, but only one person succeeded. If he could become the second, it would be enough for his name to spread throughout the world and be recorded in the history of Xihua for future generations to praise him.
This was the true intention of Wu Qiankun's visit to the battles of trials this time.
But Lu Jun was different, he had never thought of becoming the second person, creating a great achievement, and making all of the future generations admire him. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to become the champion of the battles of trials, and marry Yu Fei fair and square.
In his heart, Yu Fei's position was irreplaceable.
If he was able to pass Huangquan Road, it would mean he was the champion. He wanted to try and see if he could actually do this.
Although the two had different starting points, their final goal was the same: to become the champion of battles of trials s. Moreover, they were both determined to win and would not hold back.
Looking at the two figures standing in the air, many people couldn't help but have a strange expression on their faces.
The two most outstanding people of the Xihua Islands were actually standing together peacefully. It looked so harmonious, without the slightest bit of disharmony.
Even though there were countless proud sons of heaven present and many demon-level characters from top powers, they seemed to pale in comparison to those two.
Yun Yao stared at the two figures, a trace of unwillingness could be seen in his eyes. He was originally here for the first place, but after sensing Wu Qiankun's strength, he retreated a little.
That Lu Jun, had probably also stepped into the Borderless Stage, and his strength was probably not any weaker than Wu Qiankun's.
It was extremely difficult for him to defeat these two people. They were fated to not be in the top two, and thus, he could only fight for third place.
Yun Yao wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. Li Liuxian, Fan Hua, Huo Xu from the Greencloud Hall, Eight Desolation Divine Hall Qi Zhe, Xing Wuxiang from the Nebula Pavilion and Sheng Long from the Sacred Heavenly Palace also felt the same way.
Before coming to the First Emperor Island, they had all thought themselves to be peerless and high-spirited, with the ambition to be the champion.
However, after coming to this place, he had met a group of people of the same generation, and realized that he was not the most outstanding among them. There was a heaven above the mortal world, and in this world, there were people that were even more powerful and proud than them.
At this moment, Qin Xuan was also watching Lu Jun and Wu Qiankun, his expression especially tranquil.
"Young Master Dong Huang." A gentle voice sounded beside his ears. Qin Xuan's gaze turned and saw a beautiful gentle figure looking at him. It was Yin Yueer.
Qin Xuan raised his brows slightly, and asked: "Is something the matter?"
"They seem to want to challenge the Huangquan Road. Do you think that they will succeed?" Yin Yueer said softly.
"How would I know?" Qin Xuan laughed, then looked at the two in the sky, and muttered to himself: "Whether they can succeed will depend on their own luck."
Qin Xuan's tone was very casual. He had experienced too many great battles, and had met countless demon-level characters, yet he had never lost when it came to the same realm. It was hard to find another opponent under the Emperor Realm.
Therefore, there was a change in his attitude. Victory and defeat was not that strong, and this time, the battles of trials was merely a part of his experience.
He did not care that much, as long as he could get to the Haotian Island in the end, it would be enough.
"Depends on their luck?" Yin Yueer looked at Qin Xuan with a peculiar gaze. Why did this fellow's words sound so weird? It sounded like an exceptional expert was looking at a junior.
"Together?" Wu Qiankun said as he looked at Lu Jun.
"I'll go first." Lu Jun said, if the two of them went up together, it was unknown what would happen, maybe the pressure would increase, but it was unknown.
"Alright." Wu Qiankun nodded his head, and then took a step back. He did not care about the order, whether or not he could pass Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury, it all depended on his own strength, if he was not strong enough, he would not be able to pass.
Lu Jun looked towards the depths of the Yellow Springs. He could vaguely see the terrifying scene inside, the wind had blown, the world had turned around, and it was a scene of doomsday.
"Yu Fei, I will do my best!" Lu Jun muttered in his heart, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes shot out a ray of dazzling light, releasing a peerless aura from his body. The light of the Emperor shone on his body, causing the entire world to pale in comparison.
The hearts of the crowd couldn't help but tremble as they stared at that figure bathed in the light of the emperor. For a moment, their minds went blank.
Was this his real demeanor?
Wu Qiankun's expression also changed a little, after hiding for a long time, he was finally willing to reveal his true strength!
Lu Jun stepped forward, like a ray of light, he shot towards the depths of Huangquan Road, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the view of the crowd.
The crowd watched as the figure disappeared, and their hearts couldn't help but ripple. They didn't know if Lu Jun could pass through the Huangquan Road, but if he could, it would be the best.
Otherwise, the only thing they could do was to continue dying until the Huangquan Road's limit was met.
As time slowly passed, no one knew what was happening inside, and could only silently wait. The faces of the disciples of the None-beginning Palace were filled with worry, and their hearts were filled with anxiety, worried for Lu Jun's safety.
If anything happened to Lu Jun, the losses to the None-beginning Palace would be too severe, and the latter would probably go berserk as well.
Wu Qiankun sat cross-legged in the air. As a gentle breeze blew, his black robe fluttered gently in the wind. His expression was cold as he stared ahead, waiting quietly for the figure to appear.
At the moment, Wu Qiankun's heart was extremely calm, he did not think about whether Lu Jun could pass through, it had nothing to do with him, as long as he could pass through.
"BOOM!" Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed out as the entire world shook violently. After which, the spectators only saw a silhouette being blasted out as his silhouette became somewhat unsightly. That silhouette was none other than Lu Jun.
Lu Jun's hair was in a mess, his clothes were burnt black as though they had been struck by lightning, and the aura around his body was fluctuating, but he looked fine, and would recover after a short rest.
"I failed …" The crowd looked at Lu Jun's figure and sighed in their hearts. Even though he was strong, he was still unable to pass through.
Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a strange light. Lu Jun should be using Ultimate Emperor as well, but he was unable to break through the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury. It seemed like the difficulty of this Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury was much higher than normal.
"What's the situation inside?" Wu Qiankun's figure flashed, and came to Lu Jun's side and asked.
There are many great Dao powers that can sweep through heaven and earth. As long as I step into that space, the power of the great Dao will turn into countless attacks that will kill me without end. Furthermore, they will gradually become stronger.
Lu Jun said in a somewhat regretful tone. If one was unable to break through the barrier in the shortest amount of time, it would be impossible to pass.
Just like the places they had walked before, the Power of the Great Way would become stronger and stronger. If they did not reach a safe zone, they would eventually be killed by Daowei.
However, to break through the barrier in a short period of time, how could that be easy?
Lu Jun was starting to doubt the legends recorded in the ancient books. Could the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury really pass through it?
Hearing Lu Jun's words, Wu Qiankun's expression became grave. He looked at Lu Jun and asked: "What level of attack is inside?"
"Extreme Emperor." Lu Jun said.
Wu Qiankun's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at Lu Jun in disbelief.
"That's right." The corner of Lu Jun's mouth raised into a bitter smile, and said: "If it wasn't for that level of attack, how could I have stopped Ultimate Emperor? Back then, when Xi Hua Holy Lord created this Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury, it was probably prepared for Ultimate Emperor.
Wu Qiankun took a deep breath, his heart becoming even more excited. A test prepared for Ultimate Emperor?
This test sounded very challenging, he, Wu Qiankun, had accepted it!
"Let me try." Wu Qiankun said in a deep voice, his pitch black eyes revealed a look of determination, he had to pass through Huangquan Road no matter what.
An extremely powerful Qi was released, causing many rune s to appear around Wu Qiankun's body, all of them surrounding him like defensive screen s, extremely sturdy, unable to be destroyed.
With Lu Jun's reminder, Wu Qiankun would naturally make preparations in advance. He would first release his defense, and then, in a single go, he would charge towards the barrier and break it.
Seeing Wu Qiankun releasing his defense in advance, Lu Jun did not mind in his heart. If Wu Qiankun passed through the first round, it would prove that Wu Qiankun's strength was sufficient enough to pass the Huangquan Road, so he would naturally be stronger than him.
Moreover, he had personally experienced the terror of the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury himself. That kind of attack was simply too overbearing, and when it wasn't at its end, even if he released his defense beforehand, it wouldn't have much of an effect.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be only one person who would be able to pass through all these years.
Wu Qiankun stood tall, millions of rune surrounded his body, his entire body was filled with bright and resplendent light, his Qi was tyrannical to the extreme, as though he was a peerless emperor!
