Chapter 88

A/N: Not really into it today so the chapter might be kinda bad. Sorry about that, but I wanna just go to sleep now. G'nite.

In a world where time and space didn't exist, the skies were painted gold as a massive planet glowed with divine brilliance.

Within that world contained trillions of Immortals, or 'Xian' if one were to use the proper term. Dragons and phoenixes filled the skies as an auspicious power radiated off of everything.

If any God were to see this planet as of this moment, they would be terribly shocked. This was because this realm was far beyond any Divine Realms that existed.

This was something of a higher level. A God's Star.

Not only was it a God's Star, but it was also an ancient one as well. It had existed for countless years already, on the verge of reaching the next step at any time. The only thing limiting it, was the lack of its true ruler.

Normally, this God's Star would be very peaceful. Most of the immortals living in this plane would either be cultivating or performing meritorious deeds in order to facilitate their cultivations.

However, at this moment in time(even though it didn't exist in the God's Star), the God's Star, named 'The Heavenly Realm' was in chaos due to an announcement that shook the whole realm to its foundations.

"Lady Queen Mother has awoken for a brief moment! After hundreds of eons, she has finally awoken once!"

"Lady Queen Mother brings auspicious news with her awakening! He has returned! Our Emperor has returned!"

"Lady Queen Mother has ordered the 28 Constellations of Heaven to seek out the Emperor along with a hundred thousand celestial soldiers! The Four Heavenly Kings shall lead this expedition to bring the Emperor home!"

Those words stunned every being within the God's Star into a horrible silence. The sheer implication of those words slowly dawned on them as cheers shook the entire God's Star, regardless of its existence as merely a plane of thought.

As of this moment, the force of a God's Star that had stayed dormant for trillions of years finally bared its fangs.

Several days had passed after Huang Yu's battle with Xie Xie. Yuanen and Tang Wulin had won their respective matches as the tournament continued on as usual.

Inside the waiting room, Huang Yu sat in the waiting room in relative silence as he waited for the next match. There was a frown on his face as he contemplated the sheer weight of what had happened several days ago.

It was so sudden! There wasn't even a warning before that sound came out. Huang Yu was very sure that he hadn't done anything big with his bloodline as of late to trigger something like this.

Perhaps it wasn't because of him? That was a possibility as well. Being found out might have been entirely out of control.

The main thing that Huang Yu was worried about, however, was about the being that called him 'husband'. That opened a whole can of worms he wasn't willing to dive into.

Huang Yu knew very well what he wanted in life. For his goals, he had set one that could be deemed impossible by anyone else. As for his choice of women, Gu Yue was the only one for him.

Having more than one lover wasn't something that Huang Yu wanted to do. Gu Yue gave him all of her love, and in return, he would definitely give her all of his.

That was how much he loved her.

Hence, he was actually feeling something that he hadn't felt for quite sometime when the word 'husband' resounded in his ear.

It was fear.

This woman, Huang Yu believed— no, he was one hundred percent sure that she was stronger than him. Not only that, it wasn't by a small margin either. The gap was impossibly huge.

He had no way as to stop that person if she chose to just take him away as of this moment. He wouldn't be able to resist even if he wanted to.

Looking down at the ground, Huang Yu clenched his fists. He was so used to being above others that he had been lax in the increase of his strength. Sure, he had created his cultivation technique and had integrated sword intent into his spiritual energy, but he hadn't tried anything more after that.

Nonetheless, this would change now. Huang Yu knew that he couldn't continue on like this if that person was truly coming for him. He had to constantly improve himself and strive for perfection even though it may not exist.

At this moment, an obnoxious voice snapped Huang Yu out of his thoughts. "Huang Yu, your opponent today is me,"

Looking up, Huang Yu found himself staring at Dai Yun'er with apathetic eyes.

"Ok."

A sneer appeared on Dai Yun'er's face. "If I were you, I'd yield now and save the humiliation of getting defeated."

A soft sigh emerged from Huang Yu's lips. "Dai Yun'er, is the grudge between us so deep that you have to keep coming to harass me?"

"Yes! It's completely unresolvable unless I beat you up with both of my own hands!"

"..."

Huang Yu was really left speechless at this girl's audacity. At this point in time, he was willing to take a step back because he had sobered up from the God complex he was developing from his powers.

Of course, the fact that he felt sorry for her since he was technically usurping the Dai family's rule right under their noses played a part as well.

But if she wanted to play it that way, it was completely fine with him.

He had a few more things to test out anyways.

— — — —

"In this match, we have Princess Dai Yun'er, the Spirit King, who is an agility type spirit master with the Hell Civet for a martial spirit, a martial spirit passed down through the royal family!"

"And on the other side, we have Huang Yu from Shrek Academy! Currently, no one knows his true cultivation as he finishes each battle with merely his strength along with martial arts! Will we finally see Huang Yu release his martial spirit today against our impeccable princess?"

Haha, no, of course not.

As both contestants walked onto the stage, a sneer could be seen on Dai Yun'er's face as she faced down Huang Yu who stood opposite her.

"You'll regret ever being born after this battle, Huang Yu!" a voice said in Huang Yu's head. Dai Yun'er's spiritual power was strong enough to transmit her thoughts to Huang Yu.

Of course, this was only possible because Huang Yu let her. If he didn't, Dai Yun'er would be a vegetable by now from the backlash.

"Start the battle!"

The moment those words left the referee's mouth, Dai Yun'er sprinted towards Huang Yu at incredible speeds with her four spirit rings appearing behind her, three purple and one black. She was incredibly fast, possibly even slightly faster than Xie Xie, but Huang Yu wasn't phased in the slightest.

When Dai Yun'er got around hundred metres of Huang Yu, she activated Hell's Rush, her first spirit ring ability as she slashed her claws down at Huang Yu.

Huang Yu sidestepped in order to evade this attack causing Dai Yun'er to snort. She struck several more times with her claws, her eyes glowing slightly as she did so.

As Huang Yu casually dodged each and every one of Dai Yun'er's attacks with ease, he suddenly felt a little itch on his head as he faced her onslaught.

Raising an eyebrow, Huang Yu smiled at the same time, causing a look of surprise to appear on Dai Yun'er's face.

"Mind attacks don't work on me, so don't try." Huang Yu said casually as he grabbed Dai Yun'er offending limb that had been aiming at his neck.

At this moment, Dai Yun'er found a kick targeted at the right side of her body. Instinctively, Dai Yun'er sent all of her spiritual energy to defend the left side of her body.

[Law of Directions]

To Dai Yun'er's surprise however, she found her vision lying to her as she found herself suddenly hit in the ribs from the left.

"Aarrggh!" Dai Yun'er vomited blood as she was flung several metres away from the force of that kick.

Landing on the ground, Dai Yun'er gritted her teeth as her eyes glowed once more, not caring about Huang Yu's advice.

Feeling that little itch on his head once more,Huang Yu snorted. "I told you, that doesn't work on me."

And hence, he did what any person would do. He scratched that annoying little itch.

Dai Yun'er's figure suddenly stiffened at that instant. A scream of pain emerged from her throat as blood suddenly burst out of her nose.

""Yun'er!""

Several shouts instantly came from the surroundings seeing the state that she was in.

"Hey, you alright? Should we stop the battle now?" Huang Yu asked slightly in concern. He didn't really expect the backlash to be so serious when he used the least amount of force he could.

Looking up, Dai Yun'er gritted her teeth in horrid anger as blood continuously trailed down her nose. That Huang Yu was definitely mocking her right now!

"I'll fucking kill you Huang Yu!" Dai Yun'er shouted in fury as she stabbed her claws at his neck. She ignored the blood on her face as all her thoughts went to destroying the person in front of her.

Seeing this, Huang Yu let out a sigh. 'This girl…'

Just as Dai Yun'er reached melee distance, Huang Yu made his move.

In one swift movement, Huang Yu bashed the side of her face with the back of his hand.
