Chapter 1606: Prove Yourself!
Even Wu Yu himself jumped. To think that more fakes would appear after the five fake demonic emperors.
Wu Yu had seen a fake Wu Jun before, but his Eyes of Fire and Gold had sent that one packing.
And now another fake Wu Jun......
If Wu Yu did not have the Eyes of Fire and Gold, he would indeed be doubting if the Wu Jun by his side was real.
Now the Wu Jun by his side also exclaimed at seeing the fake Wu Yu and Wu Jun. "I almost doubted if you were real for a moment, but I trust you."
This was pure faith. Wu Jun did not have the Eyes of Fire and Gold to tell, but he had faith that the Wu Yu by his side was real. They had spent an entire decade together, and that was enough for him.
Would a fake spend 10 years with him to help him recuperate, and not pull anything on him?
It looked like these fakes were up to no good. This too was actually a good way of telling real from fake. A pity that the demonic emperors were still in the thick of a messy argument.
The appearance of fake Wu Yu and Wu Jun made the situation even more chaotic.
"You!"
Besides the injured Unending Demonic Emperor who fled, the remaining nine demonic emperors all showed great surprise, turning to face the fake Wu Yu and Wu Jun.
Wu Yu’s remaining bronze pendant was foremost on their minds!
As Wu Yu fled with Wu Jun, they had searched high and low for the pair, but had not found them in the last decade.
However, he was foremost in their minds. He had said that only both bronze pendants together could create a unique effect, and so they had no choice but to find him.
To think that now Wu Yu and Wu Jun would take the initiative and come looking for them.
"What are you two doing here?" Olden Demonic Emperor’s clear voice rang out, tinged with suspicion and wariness.
They were in a mess themselves, unable to distinguish real demonic emperor from fake. If Wu Yu and Wu Jun took this chance to create even more chaos, they might suffer badly!
But a glimmer of greed crossed his eyes at seeing Wu Yu. After all, the remaining bronze pendant held great temptation for him. If he could just get it, perhaps the entire Eternal Emperor Tomb would be his to plunder.
Although the demonic emperors had nothing to show for it so far, but they had not been here that long, had they?
Just a mere decade here. It was nothing to the centuries, millennia, Yuan that they had spent outside. Time here was but the merest breath in a very long life. They were not at all worried. Especially when they had set their sights on something important. Such as the bronze pendant that Wu Yu currently held.
The remaining four demonic emperors and five fakes all looked greedily at "Wu Yu" and "Wu Jun". It was all too obvious what their intentions were.
However, fake Wu Yu and Wu Jun maintained their composure. They seemed oblivious to the mood, and declared confidently: "I can tell you apart - who is real and who is fake!"
This shocked all nine demonic emperors.
The four real ones were truly stunned, while the five fakes were marvelous actors. No one could tell that their expressions were not genuine.
Even before they could respond, the fake Wu Yu pointed to the real Olden Demonic Emperor and said: "This Olden Demonic Emperor is the real one!"
His words were met with an astonished silence.
The real Olden Demonic Emperor was gratified at being acknowledged. But before he could so much as smile smugly, the nearby demonic emperors immediately attacked him with all sorts of painful heavenly rules!
Olden Demonic Emperor was pummeled like Unending Demonic Emperor before him. He had already been injured badly, and could not stand the concerted attacks of so many demonic emperors.
He was indignant: "I’m the real Olden Demonic Emperor. Are you all mad?!"
But as he shouted, he immediately realized that the one pointing him out was Wu Yu. Wu Yu said that he was real - why the hell would the other demonic emperors believe that?
At this time, both real and fake demonic emperor would attack him.
Just as Olden Demonic Emperor cried out, all sorts of attacks barraged him again. Even the fake Olden Golden Mountain was attacking him, rubbing salt in the wound by using his own heavenly rule against him.
In a desperate attempt to protect his life, he used his last resort, turning into a beam of golden light and fleeing. He left a parting shot: "You’ll regret not recognizing me!"
With this, Olden Golden Mountain turned to flee, vanishing into the mists.
The remaining eight demonic emperors consisted five fakes and three real ones, now that the real Unending Demonic Emperor and Olden Demonic Emperor had fled. However, the three real demonic emperors did not know that the two who had fled were real. They were still under the impression that they had rid themselves of two fakes.
From beside, Wu Yu frowned at this situation.
It seemed like the fake demonic emperors were trying to separate the five demonic emperors. Wu Yu did not know why.
But his instinct told him that if he let these fake demonic emperors and "Wu Yu" have their way, he might well be the next one done in. Therefore, no matter what their purpose was, he could not let this continue. It was time to throw a spanner into the works.
These fakes in the Eternal Emperor Tomb were very disarming indeed. Wu Yu felt that the key to a breakthrough might well be through these fakes.
As Olden Demonic Emperor fled, Wu Yu came out with Wu Jun before "Wu Yu" and "Wu Jun" could pull anything else off.
He was the one who understood the entire situation from beginning to end.
As he stood out, there was astonishment all around.
Before anyone could speak, Wu Yu looked them all in the eye and said: "You’ve all been tricked! The injured one who just left was a real demonic emperor! The remaining Olden Demonic Emperor and Unending Demonic Emperor are fakes!"
"And them, of course they’re fake too. Of course, I can prove this!" Wu Yu said, gesturing towards "Wu Yu" and "Wu Jun".
As Wu Yu stood up to say this, the remaining three demonic emperors were naturally doubtful.
But hearing Wu Yu say that he could prove himself, they decided to listen on.
"And how will you do so?" Perpetual World Tree asked. He was still composed, even in the midst of a crazy situation.
Wu Yu looked at him and said: "No matter what I do, the fake can do the same. There is just one thing that he definitely cannot take out. And that is the bronze pendant!"
Saying this, Wu Yu immediately pulled out the bronze pendant. In the misty gloom, the pendant did not react, but gleamed with an enigmatic and ancient luster, as though it had mysteries yet to be plunged.
Seeing the pendant, the remaining three real demonic emperors finally believed Wu Yu.
As Wu Yu showed them the pendant, the three real demonic emperors’ greed showed plainly on their faces. But this was not the time to make a grab at it. If they did, the remaining eight demonic emperors would end up in a big fight, and they might not survive that.
"Now I believe that you are real. But there is no way to prove if the rest of what you say is real." Celestial Meteor noted coldly.
The only thing he believed in was that he himself was real.
Wu Yu had said that the two they had driven away were real. He did not believe that.
Perpetual World Tree and Dignified Lava Beast were of the same mind. Therefore, they were still hostile towards Wu Yu, and the fake demonic emperors were still the same.
If Wu Yu had no way of proving real or fake to them, then they could continue to cause trouble and achieve their goals.
But Wu Yu shook his head in response. "It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. But since we’ve proved that I’m real, can we join forces to defeat these two fakes first?"
He gestured towards "Wu Yu" and "Wu Jun", and said: "If you are real demonic emperors, then help me kill these two. That will prove that you are real!"
Wu Yu had already thought through this process. He definitely would not put himself in harm’s way.
This sounded a reasonable offer to the three demonic emperors.
Just like Wu Yu, they suspected that all of these fakes were up to no good. In comparison, the real Wu Yu seemed like the lesser of the evils.
After all, these fakes were too bizarre, too dangerous!
At least they knew what Wu Yu was. An immortal from the sky palaces, with the strength of a 9-heavens demon king.
But these fakes left them scratching their heads.
A person’s greatest fear was always the unknown, and 9-heavens demon king were equally people-like in this regard. Therefore, the three remaining real demonic emperors agreed to Wu Yu’s proposal. They would first deal with the fake Wu Yu and Wu Jun.
Just as this consensus was reached, the situation changed.
The fake demonic emperors and Wu Yu and Wu Jun all vanished into the mists!
