At this moment, Wu Yu was a giant in Giant Astral Prison.
In a nimbus of golden crusader heavenly rule, fortified by sanctified flesh heavenly rule, with golden light shooting from his eyes, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand.
Wu Yu had reached his peak, and his aura dominated the entire field.
"Kill! Abyssal heavenly rule!"
Wu Yu swung out the Ruyi Jingu Bang imbued with abyssal heavenly rule, smashing the place where Yang Qiang stood!
However, Howling Celestial Dog Tyrant had leaped before its master, opening its terrifying mouth.
"Devour!"
The black hound also had devouring abilities, and it completely absorbed the abyssal heavenly rule.
Tyrant was left completely unharmed, its jaws clamping down firmly after the attack was devoured.
The Howling Celestial Dog also had devouring abilities, just like Wu Yu's devouring heavenly rule.
Of course, their devouring abilities were different. Tyrant's was comparatively weaker to the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast's, although Tyrant's version was better at devouring space.
Wu Yu was startled. It was his first time meeting another opponent that could devour, even if it was only space.
His strongest move had been easily negated by Tyrant. The pair again combined strengths, and unleashed a move more fearsome than ever before.
"Eye of Destruction!"
Yang Qiang's third eye opened again, but this time it was not just holding him in place. Instead, destructive power flooded out of his third eye, exploding out towards Wu Yu!
Wu Yu attempted to dodge, but Howling Celestial Dog Tyrant fixed him with a glare that had an imprisoning effect. Wu Yu was rooted to the spot.
Tyrant's imprisonment used its spatial-based powers to lock down an area. It was a beast of the void, and was attuned to space itself. Wu Yu was locked into the space itself, unable to flee.
He could only watch with eyes wide as Yang Qiang's dreaded attack bore down on him, churning through space. If it landed on Wu Yu, he would probably be blown to smithereens.
"STOP IT!"
Wu Yu shouted. With a glow from his giant eyes, the Ruyi Jingu Bang suddenly sprang up, carried forth by a golden wind. It erected a spherical Vajra Shield in front of him.
Against Yang Qiang's incredible attack, Wu Yu resorted to the Vajra Shield, since he could not avoid it.
Comfortingly, the Vajra Shield took shape before Yang Qiang's attack hit, but the attack continued to batter away at the Vajra Shield.
Fortunately, the Vajra Shield was the third Mystique of the Jingu Bang, and its defenses were strong enough to even withstand four epochal immortal treasures.
To defend one Mystique from Yang Qiang was no trouble at all.
But Yang Qiang was not going to let up on the pressure. His third eye changed again. This time, it turned purple: Eye of Punishment!
Heaven's Thunder rumbled from the void, and again boomed out towards Wu Yu's Vajra Shield!
The Eye of Punishment was even swifter, even more savage than the Eye of Destruction. Wu Yu's golden shield was bending and twisting under the purple storm. Dents began to appear!
Yang Qiang did not show mercy. His third eye continued to send a jet of purple Heaven's Thunder. The Eye of Punishment was a signature of True Lord Erlang's family. This was also the first time in the Immortal Emperor Trials that Yang Qiang had revealed the Eye of Destruction and Eye of Punishment.
Even so, he was unable to break Wu Yu's Vajra Shield. The golden sphere seemed impregnable, and held up under the combined power of both.
"Combine!"
Yang Qiang was unfazed, although he concentrated more than ever.
As he shouted, his third eye changed again, and his life-bound companion beast Tyrant moved at the same time.
"Eye of Condemnation!"
A white light issued from Yang Qiang's forehead. This was his ace in the whole. Eye of Condemnation formed a thick beam of white light. It was the condemnation of all sin in this world. It flooded towards Wu Yu, roaring against his golden shield.
At the same time, Howling Celestial Dog Tyrant bounded at Wu Yu, howling as it tore at the void around him.
The Eye of Condemnation's saintly white light seized Wu Yu and his Vajra Shield!
From the spectator stands, the Vajra Shield's golden light had been completely engulfed!
In the middle of Giant Astral Prison, Wu Yu clutched the Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly in btoh hands. He could feel the Vajra Shield being inexorably expended.
In just three breaths' the Vajra Shield shattered with a tinny ping sound!
Fortunately, Yang Qiang and his Howling Celestial Dog had to call off their attack at this point as well. They had barely managed to break Wu Yu's Vajra Shield, and were both feeling feeble at this point. They had over-exerted themselves, and this gave Wu Yu some breathing room.
Wu Yu saw that Tyrant was like an extension of Yang Qiang's body.
If this Tyrant continued to exist, he was no match for Yang Qiang. If not for Tyrant supporting him, Wu Yu's Vajra Shield would not have broken so easily just now.
"Eye of Destruction, Eye of Punishment, Eye of Condemnation. All three combined finally broke that turtle shell of his...... Persistent kid!"
Yang Qiang finally showed a hint of doubt. However, there was no way he would give up now.
"But still, Li Tianji couldn't even break the kid's shell. He was too weak, he deserved to lose!" Yang Qiang thought disdainfully.
Seemed like the four epochal immortal treasures could not compare to his Tyrant.
"Tyrant, go!"
At his terse order, Howling Celestial Dog Tyrant again pounced on Wu Yu.
Tyrant's attacks were imbued with a curiously destructive power, and the imprisonment powers again caught Wu Yu, rendering him immobile.
But in the next instant, Tyrant felt its vision blur. Wu Yu seemed to speed up impossibly.
Just as Tyrant was about to use its void destruction powers, Wu Yu managed to shrug free of its imprisonment at the last moment, and bring the Ruyi Jingu Bang crashing down on its head.
"Bedlam of Heaven and Earth!"
This move had been used many times already in this fight, but it was still Wu Yu's strongest move. If this didn't work, nothing would.
Tyrant could not dodge in time, and could only use its immortal beast bloodline to grow its body, hardening its body in order to brace against the blow. It also used its spatial powers to sheath its skin!
This was its natural defense. Even so, Wu Yu's Ruyi Jingu Bang sent it flying, heavily injured.
"Tyrant!"
Yang Qiang was shocked to see Wu Yu move so quickly.
He lifted a hand to steady the tumbling Tyrant. Luckily its natural defenses were strong, and Wu Yu's strike had only left it dazed but not out of the fight.
Only now did Yang Qiang realize that he was in Wu Yu's chronowarp globe!
Wu Yu was manipulating the flow of time here, and his opponents appeared very slow before him. That was how he had pulled off that lightning-quick strike against Tyrant.
Alas, the Howling Celestial Dog was very resilient. Even Bedlam of Heaven and Earth could not wound it seriously.
Wu Yu grew even more worried.
This one blow had decided all of his previous battles, but now the combination of Yang Qiang and Howling Celestial Dog were too strong.
Besides Wu Yu, no one else even stood a chance, not even Li Tianji.
Even Wu Yu felt despair for a moment.
Even his Vajra Shield had been shattered!
Even his Bedlam of Heaven and Earth could not take down Tyrant!
The battle would only get harder from here on. However, Wu Yu did not surrender. He knew he still had a trump card left.
"This Howling Celestial Dog can devour, eh? Then let me show you what true devouring is!"
In the next instant, Wu Yu turned into a gigantic beast, even more fearsome than Tyrant. Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast!
