Chapter 1417: Chaos in the Astral Hell

Spotting something other than lightning serpents truly invigorated Wu Yu!Perhaps the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King was just right in front of his eyesHe almost wanted to burst out laughing. Regardless of the dangers he was in, he was bursting with adrenaline and anticipation. He gnashed his teeth and charged in that direction!If he could get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King like this, it would have been a fruitful trip!One step! Two steps!Steps after steps, that item was just hanging before his eyes. Perhaps in just ten more steps, he would be able to grab it.For Wu Yu, this was an extremely short distance!However, to his surprise, no matter how many steps he made, he seemed to be always ten steps away from that item!"How can this be possible......" He risked everything to make over thirty steps since. However, the distance to that item didn't seem to shorten at all!"It's indeed not as easy as this!"All he could do was to laugh bitterly about it. However, he was still persevering. After making close to three hundred steps, he was still ten steps away from that item.This was depressing. Moreover, the further he progressed, the might of the lightning serpents would also intensified. This change had not ever stopped.In the end, no matter how hard he persevered, he was still knocked away by an unknown colossal force at the crucial moment. The next instant, he was forced out of the Prismatic Thunderball."He's out!" This was the moment that Chakravarti Ghostly King was waiting for.Regardless if Wu Yu did or did not get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, he would want to capture Wu Yu before his next step.He had a clear look previously.With his Soul Jockey Technique and Wu Yu's endurance, he was confident of making deeper progress than Wu Yu had just made. In that case, his hopes would be greater."Walking right into my trap!" From his perspective, Wu Yu was just an immortal lord. Therefore, he wouldn't have to worry at all as there never had been an immortal lord who could escape from this treasure of his.In fact, not even a ghostly king succeeded.However, Wu Yu was prepared for this. Although he was fatigued and severely injured, he controlled his body and the Somersault Cloud had fused completely into his body the moment he came out!Following a flip and a jump, he vanished before the eyes of the Chakravarti Ghostly King without leaving a trace!Chakravarti Ghostly King and the other ghostly kings behind him were stumped!"This! This......"They stood rooted to the ground."Impossible! How could this be possible! It's not possible!" Chakravarti Ghostly King repeated himself thrice. When he turned around and met the gazes of the crowd, his expression was stiff.As for the ghostly kings and Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, they were equally in shock.Chakravarti-raja Star exited the Vengeful Hell Spirits Chakravarti to search the exterior. However, he couldn't detect any signs of Wu Yu again. What he didn't know was that Wu Yu had returned to the vicinity of the Astral Guardian Field as White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. He was loitering around while recuperating from his injuries."After my act, the Chakravarti Ghostly King would probably see no use for Zhao Yuanchen ever again. The depths I've reached just now had surpassed Zhao Yuanchen greatly. Yet, I couldn't get the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King. Judging at how the situation is, Chakravarti Ghostly King definitely wouldn't succeed for now."In that case, Wu Yu felt more assured. This experience showed it was extremely difficulty for ghostly immortals to succeed. Even Chakravarti Ghostly King, a Hell master, was helpless in this situation for now."I wonder what changes would follow."With his advantage of being able to change his identity at will, there's nothing that worried him at the moment. White-Eyed Ghostly Lord was still a useful identity."As for Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the rest, they wouldn't stand a chance at all since they couldn't even get into the Astral Guardian Field!"Therefore, no one really stood a chance in the near term."I'll rest a little and make some preparations before I enter again. Perhaps I can get more information about it."He was still a little exhausted and wouldn't return for now.After three days, the ghostly kings that had gone patrolling returned looking dejected and depressed."Did you guys succeed?" Wu Yu asked exuberantly."There's nothing to be excited about. We finally found a group with close to a hundred immortal lords. Every single one of them is unusually strong and they cornered and attacked us. We barely killed a few and didn't manage to capture any. On the other hand, we were almost killed by them. These descendants of immortal emperors are truly frightening. Among them, there're a guy and a lady who are insanely powerful. That lady is the daughter of Dhrtarastra of the Four Heavenly Kings."Wu Yu was surprised they ran into a wall."Where are they now?""They have escaped. This time, they would probably flee further. However, if they wanted the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, they would naturally return. We still have to report to the Hell master before heading out to search for them again. The next time, we would definitely nab a few of them!"Imitating White-Eyed Ghostly Lord's personality, Wu Yu followed the ghostly kings shamelessly. At this point, Chakravarti Ghostly King had kept away his Vengeful Hell Spirits Chakravarti. Wu Yu stepped forward to claim credit while reiterating what he was told previously to Chakravarti Ghostly King as though he was at the scene and participated in the brutal brawl."You probably hide a far distance away to watch the elders fight, right? Don't act like you have credit in it." Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord glanced at him disdainfully. A leopard never changes its spots!"What did you say? I......"Wu Yu was about to rebutt her."Alright!" Chakravarti Ghostly King clearly wasn't in a good mood. He continued, "Get more people and make sure to capture a few next time. It's best to bring that Gu Huo Immortal Lord or Mo Yuji to me. As for you, get out. I'm annoyed at the sight of you."To him, Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was a pleasant girl that could comfort him a little. On the other hand, White-Eyed Ghostly Lord would just frustrate him further.Wu Yu's mood collapsed upon hearing and cried, "Father, I will definitely capture those immortals for you!"When he was done, he stormed out. The other ghostly kings exchanged glances and shook their head willy-nilly."Embarrassing." Chakravarti Ghostly King cursed before going on to explain about Chifeng Immortal Lord."We must find that man! But we are really running short on manpower, Hell master......""All of you may leave for now. I'll be fine with Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord. Half of you shall focus on finding that immortal lord while the other half go capture that group of people. They move in numbers and are a bigger target. As long as we are prepared, we will definitely get something the next time!""Yes, Hell master!"As such, Wu Yu successfully avoided any tasks. He went straight into recuperating and even find a place to hide. Since no one was going to look for him, he could recover in the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Soon, he was back at full strength and could challenge that epochal immortal design once again.Time passed and a storm was brewing..............................................................................................Dreary Star.As the Dreary Star was a star at the edge of the central region, it had become the resting ground of many immortals. At the same time, it became unusually lively recently.Many unfamiliar faces were showing up in various inns across ghostly immortal cities. Some even came from other levels of Hell.At this poiint, many ghostly immortals were discussing."Everyone, I believe everyone is here because of the changes to the Chakravarti-raja Star?""Yeah. The Chakravarti-raja Star is splitting apart and huge changes have happened within. Many had escaped from it. It's illogical for Astral Hell master to activate the Astral Guardian Field to seal the Chakravarti-raja Star at this juncture.""Rumors have it that incredible treasures have appeared on the Chakravarti-raja Star. Astral Hell master is thinking of keeping everything to himself and is currently excavating them with full force. He gets to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position and probably wouldn't take long for him to obtain the exceptional treasure! With that treasure, he might even have a chance of becoming an eternal devil emperor in the future!""That's definitely an exaggeration. There isn't any treasure that would allow one to become an eternal devil emperor. However, calling it a treasure wouldn't be wrong. Otherwise, why would he choose to seal the Chakravarti-raja Star when so many others are escaping from it! Why?""It's definitely a treasure. Therefore, the other ghostly kings that weren't under the management of the Astral Hell master and the overlords of a region have basically brought their men towards the Chakravarti-raja Star. These ghostly kings definitely were thinking of getting a share!""It's only going to get more lively! Perhaps we might even able to reap some rewards in chaos! Hehe......""Those ghostly kings are largely defeated by Astral Hell master in the past. It's uncertain if they could even break the Astral Guardian Field. On a side note, I heard the news of the Astral Guardian Field and potentially a treasure has reached the other levels of Hell. There are lots of other ghostly kings and even Hell masters in other levels of Hell who are intrigued by this. In fact, some experts in the upper levels of Hell have heard of it and would likely be interested to head down.""If this has reached so far, our Astral Hell would be really crowded.""Some head into hiding to preserve their lives while others are crowding over to catch a glimpse. Chaos is everywhere now. Perhaps this will be an opportunity for us. We have to keep up our vigilance. If we could get a Mark of a Ghostly King, it would be incredible.""Haha, let's have a toast!"Similar topics weren't just discussed on the Dreary Star but throughout Astral Hell. Despite being on the Chakravarti-raja Star, the Chakravarti Ghostly King had his eyes spread out across the Astral Hell. He was already aware that the Chakravarti-raja Star would become a land of troubles soon. He had to make the best use of each second!Fortunately, news of the treasure being a 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King hadn't gotten out. Otherwise, the chaos that ensued wouldn't be just at this level.Instead, it would only be ten times or more.After all, the rumors were saying there might be treasure. As for the authencity, no one could verify yet. Most of them still felt this had nothing to do with them.Over this period, Zhao Yuanchen had recovered. Chakravarti Ghostly King attempted again and felt he had made huge advancements. Yet, he returned without getting anything.What frustrated him was he didn't get any news despite his men searching the entire Chakravarti-raja Star for Wu Yu.However, Wu Yu showed up again and avoided his attack to enter the Prismatic Thunderball. He still couldn't keep up with Wu Yu and Wu Yu was even more confident now. Wu Yu reached a depth he had never reached previously and also saw that item that might be the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King. However, he was still lacking and didn't succeed before he was swept out.This time, his exhaustion was even greater.When he got out, Chakravarti Ghostly King almost successfully ambushed him. This proved that the risks for him was getting larger. Wu Yu barely made it out and could only revert back to the looks of White-Eyed Ghostly Lord to avoid the search.He had a rough understanding that a storm was brewing over the Astral Hell. Currently, many ghostly immortals had shown up outside the Chakravarti-raja Star. It was just that they had not attacked recklessly.On one random day, the ghostly immortals on the Dreary Star was still observing the situation when a swarm of immortals in the number of hundreds of thousands showed up in the sky of the Astral Hell!
