The Patriarch Bodhi, Six Superior Phoenix Emperors, and many other immortal emperors of Mettle Sky all looked at Wu Yu, puzzled.
Was he trying to win back his pride by challenging her?
Wu Yu did not disappoint.
He flew in front of Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord and looked deep into her cold eyes. "I want to challenge you! You wouldn't be scared to accept, would you?"
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord laughed coldly. "Nonsense. Would I be afraid to fight someone I've already defeated?"
"In that case, how about a bet."
Wu Yu looked her in the eye and said seriously: "If you lose this time, you have to follow me for 10,000 years. How's that?"
This was what Wu Yu had thought of.
Since he came back, he had learned from Memory Star Immortal Emperor that her great transformation was so treasured that only the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors knew about it.
Therefore, it seemed clear that they would not consent to talk about it.
Wu Yu had therefore thought up this roundabout way to keep her by his side for 10,000 years. In that time, Wu Yu would be able to see many things about her, and this would also hide his true intentions.
As he said this, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord started, surprised by his strange request.
Even the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors and Patriarch Bodhi were surprised. What on earth was Wu Yu planning with this request?
Even the Patriarch Bodhi himself was not sure of Wu Yu's plan!
Exactly as Wu Yu hoped.
In any case, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord did not need to even consider it seriously, since she saw no chance that she would lose.
Although she did not know why Wu Yu would make such a strange demand, but fighting Wu Yu again was no big deal for her. She could also test out her strength after reaching the immortal emperor realm.
"What makes you think you can beat me now? As you say, I agree to your conditions. If we're going to fight, let's get to it and over with."
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord said casually. She had already beaten him once, and so badly that he had been completely powerless. She was quite confident of her abilities.
The atmosphere immediately heated up. It was the reverse of the last challenge.
Wu Yu was challenging Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord now, and both were in the immortal emperor realm. Who would win this one?
Not many people favored Wu Yu in this one, based on how badly he lost the last. But he was an immortal emperor now. Could his stronger Mystiques salvage his pride?
"Old Wu, you got this?" Below, even Full Moon of Nanshan was worried. He had always had full faith in Wu Yu, but since he had lost to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, he knew that at the immortal emperor level, not even Wu Yu could guarantee a flawless win streak.
It was Ye Xixi who clutched her small fists and huffed. "Big brother Yu can definitely do it. Even if they entered the Eternal Immortality Realm together, but big brother Yu has the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's legacy. He is definitely better than Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord!"
Full Moon of Nanshan had no good reply to her faith, and gave a chortle: "I hope that even if this ends in a loss, Old Wu can lose in a more dignified way. Of course, I personally am hoping that Old Wu wins, but that Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord scares me deep."
The news very quickly spread around Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.
Many of the immortal emperors who had not been concerned at all about her leaving the Everlasting Battlefield were all now rushing over to witness Wu Yu's revenge battle.
Wu Yu, like them, was one of the Patriarch Bodhi's disciples!
To the Mettle Sky immortal emperors, Wu Yu was a bright and promising disciple. Many had felt regretful when he had lost to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. This time, many came to watch with hope in their hearts.
The number of people watching grew and grew.
Patriarch Bodhi suggested: "Then let this be the place of your exchange."
As he said this, the Patriarch Bodhi lifted a hand, calling forth a beam of black light and a beam of white light. They created a crystal ball of black and white!
This was an alternate space that the Patriarch Bodhi had created. It was extremely sturdy, and would not be shattered in the heat of their battle. Neither would it allow their battle to affect those outside. At the same time, the black and white crystal ball gave the spectators outside a clear view.
After all, both Wu Yu and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord were immortal emperors now. Given their ability, they might well destroy the entire Giant Astral Prison in their fury.
The black-and-white crystal ball materialized and sucked the two of them in.
Wu Yu found himself in a space empty of anything. It was made up of a black face and a white face, which joined seamlessly in a taichi design.
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was not far from him.
Since they had been transported here, it meant that the battle had started.
"Maleficent Flames!"
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was completely unafraid, even if Wu Yu had also reached the immortal emperor realm.
The last fight, she had left him fleeing wretchedly!
This time, she was again conscious not to reveal too much of her abilities. Just like the last time, her dark flames roared out, filling the space as they flooded towards Wu Yu.
"It's begun."
Outside the black-and-white crystal ball, more than 100 immortal emperors looked on, including the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors and Patriarch Bodhi.
The Six Superior Phoenix Emperors wanted to see how strong Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had become after becoming an immortal emperor.
All who stepped into the immortal emperor realm underwent a thorough and drastic metamorphosis.
It was not just for Wu Yu alone. Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had benefited similarly.
Wu Yu could feel that these black flames were much stronger than before. It seemed powerful enough to incinerate a lesser realm in a flash!
"Omnifire!"
Without hesitation, Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire and Gold caught fire, surrounding him in golden flames that could stand against the black flames!
Black on gold, the black-and-white crystal ball flared with fire light, streaks of energy shooting back and forth within it.
He had actually blocked it!
Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire and Gold had granted him the Omnifire Mystique, the final tier of the Eyes of Fire and Gold. Fueled by his apotheosis immortal energy, it was a flame that could burn anything!
Previously, Wu Yu's golden eyes heavenly rule had been unable to stand against the black flames.
But now, his Omnifire Mystique could fight it head on, and even exert additional pressure on it.
"Eh?"
The clash surprised Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. She frowned slightly, then spit out: "Immortal Immolation!"
Immortal Immolation - this was the apotheosis Mystique that she had refined after reaching the Eternal Immortality Realm!
At her shout, a powerful surge of apotheosis immortal energy charged the black flames, causing them to heat up many times over!
Apotheosis Mystiques were fueled by the stupendous strength of immortal emperors, and the destructive power was far higher than the black flames alone!
As Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's Immortal Immolation Mystique flew out, Wu Yu felt the pressure against him increase.
His Omnifire was on the verge of giving way.
"Unshackled Doppelganger!"
Just as his golden Omnifire was being dispersed by the black flames, Wu Yu finally unleashed his second Mystique, the Unshackled Doppelganger that had been perfected!
5 million doppelgangers leaped out into the black-and-white crystal ball, surrounding Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord from all sides.
"Omnifire!"
Wu Yu did not hesitate. All 5 million doppelgangers blasted golden fire at the dark Immortal Immolation flames!
It was a grand sight, millions of Wu Yu's doppelgangers crowding the black-and-white crystal ball and pouring golden flames into the black conflagration!
"Impressive!"
Full Moon of Nanshan said in amazement. This was no empty praise - he could see that each of the 5 million doppelgangers were all as strong as he was.
This meant that there were 5 million 8-heavens immortal kings fighting Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord!
Plus, these 5 million doppelgangers were also using Wu Yu's Omnifire Mystique, the highest level of the Eyes of Fire and Gold!
The golden flames surrounded the black, and the entire black-and-white crystal ball turned into a swirl of black and gold flames.
Their silhouettes were lit up brilliantly by the flames. It looked like an even fight!
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had already used her apotheosis Mystique, but found that it could not repel Wu Yu. She could no longer defeat him that easily now.
"What's going on?"
Immortal emperor Wu Yu was shockingly strong.
However, this alone wasn't going to be able to take her down.
With another disdainful huff, she finally got serious.
