Following Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's sneer, black flames shrouded her, burning strongly until they formed a world.
This was the Apotheosis Realm that Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had created after reaching the Eternal Immortality Realm - the Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm!
Following her transformation into the Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm, the black flames surged towards Wu Yu with renewed frenzy!
Sustained by his apotheosis immortal energy, Wu Yu's 5 million doppelgangers used Omnifire one more time, and then disappeared.
At this time, Wu Yu started to grow in response, the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth granting him strength and bulk.
A giant appeared within the black-and-white crystal ball, and then turned into a golden monkey.
This golden monkey body was comparable in size to a lesser realm, filling up Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's vision from side to side.
Even with her Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm working as hard as it could to blast maleficent flames, she could not overcome his sheer size!
"Bedlam of Heaven and Earth!"
The golden monkey's eyes gleamed with Omnifire. In his hands, the Ruyi Jingu Bang grew in response, and smashed into the Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm!
Its terrifying strength seemed to shake the heavens and earth itself, tearing the Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm apart. Maleficent flames spilled all over, and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord rose from their midst.
She was shocked at the power of Wu Yu's blow, which had almost shattered her Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm. She retracted it back into her body.
She was shaking like a leaf now, floating on unsteady void space. She flew up, turning into a black tornado of fire!
This black-fire tornado spun vigorously, whipping up to blistering speeds.
Although Wu Yu was huge and strong, his speed was atrocious, and he could not keep up with her.
He felt the razor wind sting at him again and again, ripping into his huge body and pulping sections of it.
Wherever the black fire tornado went, air itself was churned up. This was an apotheosis Mystique that could smash a lesser realm by itself.
"World's End!"
A sharp call from Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord - this was another of her apotheosis Mystiques.
By the time Wu Yu turned to her position, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was already gone, the tornado breezing over to a different part of his body, unleashing another furious attack. If this kept up, Wu Yu would not be able to live very long. No matter how large his body was, it would be thoroughly destroyed.
"Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, change!"
Wu Yu shrank himself. Since she wanted to compete in speed, he would speed on her to show dominion.
As his body shrank, it went well past his usual size, until he was as tiny as a speck of dust. The naked eye alone was hard-pressed to spot him.
He was more than 100 times faster than before. A mere thought, and he was beyond Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord.
Apotheosis Mystique World's End whipped Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's black-flame tornado into a frenzy, allowing it to spin through space itself. But Wu Yu was a speck of dust. No matter how fast her winds, even if she knew where Wu Yu was, she could not catch him.
Wu Yu was like a pesky fly that she could not catch no matter how hard she tried. All the while, he seemed to be buzzing in her ear. It was maddening.
"Apotheosis Mystique, Dark Skies!"
Out of patience, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord sprouted a pair of black phoenix wings in the middle of the tornado, large enough to cover the skies and darken the place!
Her enormous wings immediately closed up, forming a dark world of shadow beneath it. The tiny Wu Yu was immediately thrown into darkness, unable to see the sky.
More importantly, Wu Yu could feel that the Dark Skies space seemed to be filling up with maleficent flames, and would continue until the whole space was filled.
At that time, it did not matter how fast Wu Yu was if there was no place to run to. He would roast to death in her dark fire.
This smacked of their first battle, where she had simply filled the fighting area with enough fire to negate his escape. With nowhere to go, all he could do was burn to death.
Dark Skies created a sealed space that trapped Wu Yu completely, and then Immortal Immolation filled the space with maleficent flames.
She was going to cremate him!
If Wu Yu wanted to turn the tables, he had one goal. He had to break Dark Skies - he could not afford to be trapped here.
Wu Yu very quickly returned to normal size. With a mere thought, his Somersault Cloud appeared beside him.
"I'm counting on you!"
Wu Yu clenched his fist, and his Somersault Cloud turned into pure energy, melding into his fist.
"Pulverized World, smash it!"
With a desperate bellow, he punched out, sending the Pulverized World power of the Somersault Cloud flying upwards!
This was the perfected state of the Somersault Cloud. One Pulverized World punch could shatter the void itself, and even a lesser realm.
His punch landed squarely on Dark Skies, scattering the maleficent flames and crashing squarely into the Dark Skies wings. Ash and void chasms blew out.
The spectators had thought Wu Yu doomed within the Dark Skies world.
But this world-shattering force punched a clean hole in Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's wings, which were creating the Dark Skies world.
Cocooned in void energy, Wu Yu shot through the opening as Dark Skies crumbled behind him!
Dark Skies was a part of Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's body. Her dark wings were a very powerful part of her.
Now that Dark Skies had been broken, her dusky wings were torn, and the injury continued to spread.
As Wu Yu rushed out, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord appeared anew in the black-and-white crystal ball. Her two jet-black wings were cracked like glass, and there was a huge hole in one of them.
The power of Wu Yu's Pulverized World punch!
The Somersault Cloud's final form shocked even Wu Yu. This punch not only blunted Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's attack, but also dealt her a savage wound.
A huge hole in her wings was not irrecoverable. But it would take a long period of recuperation.
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was wracked with a gut-wrenching pain. A hole in the wings was equivalent to a hole in the body. Her face was badly contorted with pain, and she swayed on the spot. She looked to be on the verge of passing out.
She had lost.
Even without Wu Yu fighting, she was in no position to attack him.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She had thought her transition to the immortal emperor realm to be the culmination of her rise. And a mere Wu Yu, who had lost to her before - how could he now be beyond her?
She could sense that his transition had granted him more power than hers.
It was the nature of his Mystiques, and of course the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, which had smoothed his rise and supplemented his foundations.
Now an immortal emperor, his 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King continued to help boost his cultivation foundations.
"You've lost! By our agreement, you must follow me for 10,000 years!"
Wu Yu felt a twinge of pity, seeing how badly she was injured. However, if he had not broken past Dark Skies, it would have been him instead.
Therefore, he had no regrets.
And with her elders around, her wounds would not count for much.
"Hngh......"
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had no more strength to speak, merely grunting softly. The pain in her wings forced her eyes closed, and she almost swooned.
Pulverized World, one punch wonder.
The immortal emperors outside were all watching, mouths agape.
These two absolute geniuses of the younger generation had fought a rematch, and now the situation had been completely flipped. The new immortal emperor Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had been defeated by a tremendous punch to her wings that secured Wu Yu's revenge and pride!
