This grand battle brought the mood of the Dragon Light Festival to a crescendo.

Especially since the love interest had been introduced to this battle, it had become even more dramatic. Anticipation for the epic battle rose.

Previous Dragon Light Festivals did not have events as intense as this.

Even the mystical dragons were crowding around, eyes wide. They seemed even more anxious than Wu Yu, holding their breath and not daring to speak to others, for fear of missing something spectacular.

The occasional exchange was to lay wagers, as to who would win.

"I think it will be the Dragon Monarch. He has been at his cultivation level for a long time, and Big Sister Dragon Lord only recently caught up. My daddy says that we are immortal beasts, the strongest beings in the Jambu Realm, and that the Dragon Monarch is the strongest of us all."

"But Emperor Yu is the son of an immortal."

As they proceeded with their hushed discussions, Wu Yu and the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon were already facing off.

Before Wu Yu was a fine specimen of a black mystical dragon. Whether it was his dragon antlers, fangs, or tail, there was a sharp quality to him!

Especially his dragon horns. They were huge, black weapons, razor-sharp like spear heads. Amongst all of the dragon horns that Wu Yu had seen, these were the fiercest and most majestic.

This huge, black mystical dragon swam amongst the clouds, its inky-black eyes fixed on Wu Yu.

Perhaps in the next instant, his mystiques and dao techniques would strike Wu Yu!

"Woah!"

The mystical dragons saw Wu Yu's own body expanding and sprouting golden fur. He transformed from a human to a golden Immortal Ape! Wu Yu transformed the Five-Colored Dragon Crown, the Stellar Universe Dragon Boots, and the Saintly Dragon Golden Robe into the armor of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. In his hands, he held the ebony Jambu Sky Pillar. Wreathed in golden flames, he looked like the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, clad in golden battle armor, wearing a royal purple crown with phoenix feathers and shod in cloud shoes! An awe-inspiring sight!

He was as dashing as could be!

As for why he had used such a transformation.... Of course, he had to preen when he was before a beauty.

Seeing such a powerful and overbearing golden Immortal Ape before him, the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon naturally felt the pressure. This was Wu Yu's strongest state, with all the seraphic dao treasures at his disposal.

"Does relying on dao treasures count as strength? Keke. Mystiques and dao techniques - those are what truly belong to you," the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon said.

"Stop lying to yourself. If I can destroy someone, who cares how I do it?" Wu Yu countered.

"Let's get down to business, then!"

The Shackled-God Rogue Dragon roared, sending the clouds tumbling away. The huge, black mystical dragon charged towards Wu Yu!

An explosive start!

Amidst the excited cheers, the 10th tier Dao Querying Shackled-God Rogue Dragon zipped through space, barreling towards Wu Yu. To Wu Yu, a mystical dragon was a mythical creature. He would never have thought that he would one day face one.

The black dragon appeared above Wu Yu's head in a flash.

"I advise you to stop dreaming. You're like a toad trying to court a swan. It's a joke."

Against his taunts, Wu Yu answered with a cold smile, and no words.

"Today, I will crush your spirit with a humbling defeat. You will be too ashamed to speak with Luo Pin again."

"Noted. Come on, then. Less talk, more action." Wu Yu laughed coldly again.

That intent had been clear enough and needed no emphasis. Besides, thousands of mystical dragons were watching! All of them, without exception!

"Hmph!"

With the seven Esteemed Elders in support, the Dragon Monarch felt confident. He burst forth, streaking down from the sky. From his mouth, he spewed out great quantities of dragon's breath.

The black dragon's breath filled the air. When it touched the air, or perhaps more accurately, any space, it seemed like space itself was changing and being broken down!

Wu Yu did not over-react. He used the third tier of the Somersault Cloud, repositioning himself outside of the Shackled-God Dragon's Breath, letting the terrifying attack miss!

However, his Shackled-God Dragon's Breath did not immediately dissipate. Instead, it lingered, chasing Wu Yu wherever he went.

Wu Yu had initially thought to use the Yan Huang Dragon Insignia. But on second thought, he knew the aversion that the mystical dragon tribe had for this dao treasure. Besides, the immortal treasure spirit was their ancestor's spirit. If not for the kingdom border spirit design being tied to it, perhaps even Luo Pin would have asked Wu Yu to return the Yan Huang Dragon Insignia.

Therefore, Wu Yu's main attack weapon was the Jambu Sky Pillar!

"3,000 Star Clouds Decimation Design!" As he repositioned, he could fling out streams of stars that clashed against the Shackled-God Dragon's Breath. When the star clouds crashed against the Shackled-God Dragon's Breath, both engulfed each other! A grand sight!

"Mortal Shackled Hell!"

The Shackled-God Rogue Dragon was anxious to close. His mystique had not taken Wu Yu down, but had been neutralized instead. He immediately used another Natural Mystique. These were the special abilities of the Shackled-God Rogue Dragons!

This type of mystical dragon revolved around the word "shackle". With it, they could tie anything in the world to them.

His current mystique took hold. Within the Nine Dragons of Heaven and Earth: Against Immortals Minor Formation, all had become his Mortal Shackled Hell.

This was where Wu Yu was on the back foot. If the fighting area had been bigger, he would have been completely unaffected by Mortal Shackled Hell.

At this time, the space around him was starting to warp and break down. The entire world as we know it developed from chaos, and the mystique of the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon could revert this developed world back into a state of chaos. And within this area, his opponents would also be broken down. Wu Yu was currently stuck in such a state.

He saw the world melt away and then turn into a grey mist that filled the entire area.

He knew that this was a frighteningly powerful mystique. He had to act fast, or die here.

"Spirit Chaser Art!"

Wu Yu responded quickly. This sort of transformation art that attacked one's spirit was neither mystique nor dao technique. It was no spirit design either. The power of the Spirit Chaser Art worked invisibly. Just as the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon was executing his Mortal Shackled Hell with a confident swagger, Wu Yu's Spirit Chaser Art crashed into his Primordial Spirit World and dealt his Primordial Spirit a punishing blow!

This definitely affected his execution of Mortal Shackled Hell. Within the boundaries of this spirit design, the transformation of Mortal Shackled Hell was slower. In this world, Wu Yu could still pass through, and space still remained in its original state!

"Five Affinities Dragons of Earth Sky Smashing Design!"

After Wu Yu used the Spirit Chaser Art, he again attacked from the Somersault Cloud! He arrived above the dragon's head and used the spirit design!

This spirit design also inflicted mental damage, from Wu Yu's own head to the head of the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon. He had been trying to destroy Wu Yu with Mortal Shackled Hell, but Wu Yu had already neared him. This sudden spirit design attack was too difficult to fend off for him. He was forced to use a mystical dragon dao technique that created a black swamp to bar Wu Yu's way. But it could not stop Wu Yu's devastating spirit design attack!

The Sky Smashing Design fell like five huge hammers, crashing down heavily on his head. The Shackled-God Rogue Dragon was stunned. Hit by the double whammy from the Spirit Chaser Art and the Sky Smashing Design, his Mortal Shackled Hell could not be completed!

Before he could throw the world into complete chaos, Wu Yu had caught up to him. He had wanted to shape the environment in his favor, but now Wu Yu was already behind him. He was completely bested!

"Die!"

He raged. This had originally been an exchange, but now his killing intent was roused.

"Can't handle the heat?" Wu Yu's laughter rang out now.

The Shackled-God Rogue Dragon did not reply. Dense, black mist began to seep from his body! Under his cold fury, the space changed again.

"Shackled Void!" The whole world suddenly blazed with black flame!

The space itself was on fire!

As it burned away, all that remained was a void, which had tremendous vacuum abilities. He used the Shackled Void mystique to create a world similar to that which Wu Yu's own Somersault Cloud passed through. Actually, Wu Yu could have used the Somersault Cloud to leave this spirit design's surround. But he did not. Before the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon could use the Shackled Void mystique, Wu Yu had already rushed above his head and activated the power of the Jambu Sky Pillar!

"Door to 10,000 Levels of Hell!"

The thick, metal staff fell from the sky, and Wu Yu was standing on it, forcing it down on the body of the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon. Whether in terms of reaction or speed, he was a step ahead of the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon!

At this moment, the world was starting to burn, and even Wu Yu's body had caught with black flames. The flames could melt him down into ashy, grey space. But for a short while, the Saintly Dragon Golden Robe would repel that, and he could still breathe!

Using this chance, Wu Yu threw all his energy into the spirit design of the Jambu Sky Pillar. It fell like a mountain! The huge Shackled-God Rogue Dragon was like a little lizard, and Wu Yu's Jambu Sky Pillar crushed him to the floor of the Nine Dragons of Heaven and Earth: Against Immortals Minor Formation! This spirit design's lower half was all seawater, but it was all gone at this time!

In truth, Wu Yu could not last long within the Shackled Void!

But the Shackled-God Rogue Dragon could last even less! The staff's impact alone had knocked him silly. The crushing impact from the spirit design and the opening of the Door to 10,000 Levels of Hell immediately taught him dread. He was immobilized, and the hellish creatures were biting away at his body, dragging him down to the place they had spawned from!

He wanted to run, but the Jambu Sky Pillar was crushing him! He couldn't!
