Lu Yao, seeking death, found Xu Fu all too willing to accept the challenge through the official channels.
Two powerhouses that subdued their nations were set to determine the victor on the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
Within a few days, the news spread across the world; not only were the citizens of both countries abuzz, but so were the Western powers, who were endlessly discussing the matter.
Many were puzzled—Lu Yao was a whole Martial Path realm behind the Izumo Emperor; what was he risking all for?
Little did they know that he simply wanted to use Blue Star's inexhaustible pool of wishing power to seize the chance to grasp the mysteries of the Thunder Tribulation.
Afterwards, Lu Yao stopped concerning himself with the chaos of the outside world and devoted himself to secluded cultivation at home, taking advantage of Imperial City's thunderstorm season.
