Heaven’s Devourer - Chapter 1712

Chapter 1712: No Deal

The black-and-white crystal ball world faded at a wave of the Patriarch Bodhi’s hand.

Wu Yu and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord were back in the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. However, they were in completely different states from before.

Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had been cold and aloof, looking down her nose at Wu Yu. She had not considered the possibility of losing.

But now she was riddled with wounds, her wings punctured by Pulverized World, pain and disbelief mingling in her eyes.

As for Wu Yu, he had taken revenge and won back his pride. Most importantly, he had her by his side for 10,000 years.

This would give Wu Yu sufficient time to understand what her mysterious encounter had been.

An absolute win for Wu Yu.

Even without an announcement, there was no doubt that Wu Yu’s improvement had outpaced Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s, which allowed him to take this win.

There were too many people that Wu Yu owed this win to.

The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s legacy, Chaos Sword Demon Emperor’s contribution...... Although these seniors were no longer around, but Wu Yu still held them in the highest respect.

Without these seniors, Wu Yu would not be where he was today.

If a single one of them was missing, Wu Yu would not have accomplished what he had.

The immortal emperors of Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars had not believed in Wu Yu. He had already lost once, and even if he was now an immortal emperor, so was Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord.

But now, they had witnessed Wu Yu’s comeback with their own eyes, as he wiped the shame from his record.

As champion of the Immortal Emperor Trials, Wu Yu should have been celebrated throughout the sky palaces. But Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had shown up to steal his thunder. With this win, Wu Yu’s glory was his once again.

"You did very well."

Memory Star Immortal Emperor said admiringly from the side. He knew better than anyone how hard it was to reach immortal emperor realm.

And Wu Yu had not only managed to reach the Eternal Immortality Realm in such a short time, but he had also undergone a huge improvement. How could anyone imagine what he had been through to accomplish this?

Even with the Spirits of the Universe Everlastings helping her on the Everlasting Battlefield, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had been slower than Wu Yu.

Today, his defeat of Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord cemented his position as the leader of his generation in the sky palaces.

"You’ve lost. By our agreement, you will follow me for 10,000 years."

Wu Yu said in a low voice. He stood before Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord and gazed down at her beautiful features.

He knew that this girl might not be Nangong Wei or Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord anymore. After she had gone through her huge transformation, she had been totally changed, down to the core facets of her personality.

Neither Nangong Wei nor Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had treated Wu Yu so coldly.

This made Wu Yu recall the time at Demon Immortal Realm, when he had first found Jiu Ying. Jiu Ying had been possessed by the Chaos Demon’s spirit remnant, and also controlled by Diabolical Dragon King. His body had not been his own.

However, this girl clearly had her own will. Perhaps she even had the combined memories of Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord and Nangong Wei.

Regardless, Wu Yu intended to find answers to all of his questions.

Although she might have harmed him back in Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, but that might not have been her will. Wu Yu did not want to see Nangong Wei hurt, especially if she was in the same situation as Jiu Ying had been in.

The soul of the girl before him seemed normal. If there was another consciousness in her, it was too subtle, a thousand times stronger than the one on Jiu Ying.

Wu Yu wanted to take her away. As for her wounds, the Patriarch Bodhi could probably deal witht hem.

However at this time, the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors rushed over with tense faces.

Provenance Phoenix Empress had been in a good mood, but was now rigid with discomfort and shock. How could it be that her daughter had gone through such a metamorphosis and still have lost to a mere Wu Yu?

The Six Superior Phoenix Emperors did not want to let her follow Wu Yu for 10,000 years!

"My daughter is badly injured. The penetrated wings must be treated in special phoenix tribe methods to restore their full strength. We will be taking her away first."

Provenance Phoenix Empress scooped her up. "Patriarch, farewell!"

Wu Yu and the others were left open-mouthed.

These Six Superior Phoenix Emperors were despicable. They were finding excuses to take Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord away and not let her uphold her bargain to stay with Wu Yu for 10,000 years!

Wu Yu and Luo Pin had not expected this.

Luo Pin had already agreed to the plan, so that they could monitor her closely.

But it was clear now that the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors did not want to let her follow Wu Yu.

Or perhaps, they were afraid of the transformation secret being leaked......

"Go in peace."

Patriarch Bodhi could only nod. He could not possibly fight the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors and force Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord to stay. It was not seemly for him to interfere in the matters of the youngsters.

They could only watch the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors pull Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord with them and leave quickly.

Wu Yu was discouraged.

The Six Superior Phoenix Emperors were dragon emperor-level immortals, and if they insisted on taking her away, there was nothing that he could do. The Patriarch Bodhi could not possibly go chasing after them for him either.

Therefore, he could only watch Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord leave from right under his nose.

At least he had won Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord and proven himself.

"This first battle at the immortal emperor realm was a success!"

Wu Yu was satisfied about that much at least. He had not only defeated Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord, but had also understood much about his own Mystiques. He would be able to use them much better in the future.

Powerful Mystiques were one matter, using them well was another.

In any case, Wu Yu had won this fight, and also understood Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord’s powers a little better. Perhaps he could consult ancient archives and comb for records of maleficent flames as clues.

Many Mettle Sky immortal emperors ran over to Wu Yu to congratulate him after the battle.

Rising to immortal emperor and defeating Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord marked Wu Yu’s rise as quality. After all, only immortal emperors were truly considered immortals here in the sky palaces, and could enter the upper echelons of the sky palaces.

Wu Yu’s defeat of Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord would definitely grow his reputation even further throughout the Heavenly Domain.

As for Mettle Sky, it was good news. There were few immortal emperor descendants under the Patriarch Bodhi’s wing at Mettle Sky, and so the immortal emperors here only grew at a moderate pace.

Seeing Wu Yu’s speedy climb cheered his senior brothers on. They hoped he could continue to grow even stronger......

Wu Yu headed back to the immortal residence with Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi.

Wu Yu had been rather nervous before the battle, and now a big worry had been put to rest.

Full Moon of Nanshan tugged on his ear and grumbled: "Bunch of lousy birds! Those Six Superior Phoenix Emperors are really shameless. They’re elders but blatantly going back on their word and taking her away. Unbecoming!"

Ye Xixi sniffed. "Just as well. Even if that Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord followed us, big brother Yu might not be able to see anything, and she might even cause us trouble."

She had been reluctant for Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord to come with them, but could say nothing since Luo Pin had already agreed.

She had her way now.

As they chatted, the conversation moved to Wu Yu’s Eternal Immortality Realm transition. They were curious about the Apotheosis Realm within him.

Wu Yu had not properly examined his Devouring Apotheosis Realm yet. He probably understood it less than Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord did her Maleficent Flames Apotheosis Realm.

After all, she had drawn it out expertly during battle to enhance her Mystiques.

Wu Yu’s Devouring Apotheosis Realm did not have such power yet, and he had to spend some time properly feeling it out.

Together with the others, Wu Yu took a look at his Devouring Apotheosis Realm.

There was only the basic sun, stars, land, and oceans that Wu Yu had created. Whether on land or sea, not a single bit of life was to be found.

The land was barren, paved with golden-brown soil and mountains, but not a single speck of green.

Wu Yu was not worried. He knew that to grow life in an Apotheosis Realm was a long process. It was not something that could be built in a day.

His Devouring Apotheosis Realm was even bigger than the Jambu Realm, but desolate and lifeless.

If he could get life started there, and if that life could cultivate, it would definitely be a more interesting world than the Jambu Realm.

Seeing Wu Yu’s Devouring Apotheosis Realm made Full Moon of Nanshan’s itch. He too wanted a world inside him.

"This won’t do. I have to work hard too, until I become an eternal immortal emperor. Otherwise I’ll be left in the dust by Old Wu." Full Moon of Nanshan brooded.

Even a few clones of Wu Yu could beat them up already, and the gap between them seemed to be growing steadily. Of course, Full Moon of Nanshan was not happy about this. The way he saw it, Marshal Tian Peng’s legacy could not be that much worse than the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s.

"When I get to the Eternal Immortality Realm, I will make a peach blossom paradise, and all of my Apotheosis Realm will be beauties. Heheheh!"

Thinking of that paradise, Full Moon of Nanshan’s saliva almost leaked from his mouth, drawing disgusted looks from Wu Yu and the others.
