Heaven’s Devourer - Chapter 651

Chapter 651: 651

Immortals' Viewing Platform .

A total of nine people .

Currently, each was in their own spot near the barrier, their faces abject with misery, and uneasiness and frustration simmering in their eyes .

Princess You Xue, Prince Feng, the Nine-Star Snow Wyvern, etc . . . .

Outside the Taigu Immortal Path, they commanded armies . Their esteemed ranks were enough to shake the world even before they used their abilities!

But in this Taigu Immortal Path, they had failed countless times to break the barrier . Besides, there was an unknown amount of debris to get through outside the barrier .

Also, their Taigu Immortal Talismans could not be used .

Time passed, and the one-year time limit neared . Naturally, they were growing more and more anxious and fearful, as well as irritable .

No one dared to speak . The moment they did, it would lead to arguments in this unstable emotional climate .

Wang Zhixun was cowering in a corner . Right now, at his current level, he was far from the rest, and anyone could kill him . Besides, he did not even have a Taigu Immortal Talisman . Therefore, he could only hide and weep while thinking about his future .

"I regret it all! Back when they counseled me to leave, I didn't listen, but instead came to this Immortals' Viewing Platform!

"It's over . It's all over now .

"I can't go back . I'll die here . I can't go back . . . . If I had known, I wouldn't even have come to the Taigu Immortal Path!"

Wang Zhixun's face was blank with fear as he slumped to the floor and looked around him .

"Shut up . If you yak any more, I'll send you to the next world immediately . " Princess You Xue glared at him, scaring him stiff . He clammed up, not daring to say another word .

After a long while, Prince Feng spoke, frowning . "This will not do . It won't do! None of us wish to die here . We are all of noble birth and are the future of the Jambu Realm . If we all die here, the legacy of the Jambu Realm will be broken!"

The Nine-Star Snow Wyvern said, "Everyone besides us has already gone out . Probably most people will think that the Taigu Immortal Path has already ended . Only our friends and family are still waiting for us . "

"Can we not work together and think of something? No matter what, we are all locusts tied to the same rope right now . We should cast aside our baggage and work together," Princess You Xue said .

"Damned use that is . We have tried so many times, but still cannot do anything about the barrier . Forget all those useless thoughts . Our only hope is there . " Feng Jianqing of the Eternal Sword Dao pointed at the Floating Dreams Pagoda outside the Immortals' Viewing Platform .

His words quietened them . An unvoiced but mutual acknowledgment .

Evidently, Wu Yu could leave the barrier .

"He's currently outside the barrier . He can use his Taigu Immortal Talisman and immediately leave . Why should he care about us? We all saw him as prey, and now he's the one in the superior position . If we remain stuck here, then no one will even know about all the treasures he has . This Wu Yu is the ultimate winner!" Prince Feng said resentfully .

Reality was just like that .

"You're right . He can leave, and that's unexpected, and a tough blow for us to take . But I feel like we still have a chance," Feng Jianqing said .

"Go on . "

Feng Jianqing said, "Although he has exited the barrier, he hasn't left yet . Instead, he's been hiding inside the pagoda . This means that he's not willing to leave the Taigu Immortal Path . He still has unfinished business . "

"What on earth does he want?" Princess You Xue asked .

"As for that, I don't know . If I were him, I would have long abandoned us and left . " Feng Jianqing waved it off .

No one else had any idea either .

"But no matter what he wants, as long as he comes back out, we have a chance . At that time, as long as he shows his face, please do your best to lure him back in, everyone . Once he's in, we'll first snatch his pagoda . Let us be united on this . When the treasure is in our hands and we go out, we can then decide the ownership of all the treasures . This is a critical moment now, and we must all play by the rules . If anyone breaks them, we all die here," Qingwu Yunsi said .

"No problem . "

"There is no problem there . The problem is: is he a fool? Will he come in?"

Wang Zhixun said, "I think so . There is a possibility . I saw the look in Wu Yu's eyes . He is resentful towards the way that we have treated him . He might want revenge . " 

"Resentful? Want revenge? That's awesome! The more he hates us, the more chances we have . I trust everyone knows what to do?" The Nine-Star Snow Wyvern chuckled .

The Emperor Tree demon said, "I know that this Wu Yu is from humble beginnings . The thing he hates most is those of us who were born into privilege and shot into success . He must hate us using our power to suppress him, especially the threats against the Dong Sheng Divine Continent . That is why if he appears again, we should continue to use that method to make him lose his reason . "

"I concur . "

Occasionally bringing up issues, they fleshed out all the details . All that remained was for Wu Yu to reappear .

They believed that Wu Yu would come . If they lost this last chance of Wu Yu, then they would truly panic . There were still a few months, but with no other ideas, the consequences were dire . . . .

Finally, a few days later .

While they were resting, there was suddenly some commotion over at the Floating Dreams Pagoda . They were startled and scrambled to make ready . They had never expected that one day they would receive Wu Yu with such anxiety .

As expected, Wu Yu emerged from the Floating Dreams Pagoda . Afraid that he would leave, they were just about to start speaking to invite him in .

They had all already prepared their pitches . It was all threats - if they left, they would make Wu Yu pay, etc . . . .

What they had not expected was that Wu Yu would immediately enter . He stowed the Floating Dreams Pagoda, the 10,000 Dragons Staff still in his hand . He stepped into the Immortals' Viewing Platform!

He had actually come in!

All nine looked around at each other in complete disbelief .

But they were delirious with joy because Wu Yu had brought the Floating Dreams Pagoda in with him . This meant that their chance had come . All they needed to do was kill Wu Yu together and snatch the Floating Dreams Pagoda . Then there was hope!

At this time, Wu Yu and his staff descended into the Immortals' Viewing Platform, his face emotionless . He stared at them, walking nearer . Each step was steady and his resolution and willpower were evident .

But the nine of them instead grew irrationally anxious .

Wu Yu had finally come in . They had privately discussed not to jump the gun, and to give Wu Yu no excuse to flee . The previous time, they had let Wu Yu escape that way .

"The situation has changed . Nobody panic . Let's see what Wu Yu's goal is now! We must find a suitable opportunity to strike, and not allow him to escape again . If he leaves this time, our hopes are all dashed!"

They reminded each other .

"Alright . "

Just like that, Wu Yu came to stand before them, face to face . Wu Yu knew all about their secret machinations .

He just wanted to laugh coldly .

Time to take the gamble .

And some revenge as well .

"Wu Yu, why are you back? We are so envious that you can get through the barrier . . . . " Princess You Xue said in a fairly warm register .

Wu Yu slammed the 10,000 Dragons Staff into the ground, shaking the entire Immortals' Viewing Platform . Such a heavy advanced dao treasure made their eyelids jump .

Wu Yu stared at them and said loudly and clearly, "Before, the eight of you felt that I was not qualified to have these treasures . I am not satisfied . The reason I have not left until today is to prove to all of you that I, Wu Yu, deserve these treasures . I know that all of you want the things that I have . And I, Wu Yu, cannot implicate my friends and family because of these treasures . That is why I want to make a pact with all of you . I want to participate in the battle that you all designed before, to choose the strongest person who will possess these treasures . I am willing to lay them out as the prizes for the battle, as long as everyone promises not to harm my loved ones after we leave . "

Everyone was taken aback by this speech .

They felt like they had met the biggest idiot in the history of idiots .

He was actually giving up the treasures as prizes and was also participating in the battle . All for their promise not to harm his loved ones . . . . It was true that if these eight made that promise, it would hold some weight .

But the problem was, firstly, without Wu Yu, they could not even go out . That would render all of their threats invalid .

But perhaps Wu Yu still thought they could leave .

And secondly, he could simply have given them the treasures . To join the battle as well? Wasn't that suicidal?

The nine could not wrap their heads around it .

To them, this was a heaven-sent gift! They could not wait for Wu Yu to bring out the treasures . They could not wait for him to join the battle, where they would have a public reason to kill him .

Fortune had come too fast to favor them .

"Wu Yu, are you sure that is what you want to do?" Princess You Xue asked .

Wu Yu nodded . "I've thought it through now . All of you are the future of the Jambu Realm . I cannot afford to offend so many at once . Otherwise, my loved ones and myself will be in danger in the future . "

They looked at each other, still dubious about this stroke of good fortune . They could only say that Wu Yu was truly an ignorant bumpkin, to be scared into obedience like this .

However, this was a golden opportunity .

Qingwu Yunsi said, "But if you wish to fight, we have eight people . An additional person will make it difficult to match up . "

Eight could make four, and then fight for first, second, and third . With an extra person, it would be tricky .

Wu Yu said, "That's easily settled . I was last to come, so let me fight the first battle . Of you eight, choose one person to fight with me . Only after having beaten me will they be able to fight amongst the rest of you . Of the eight of you, choose the weakest . That's fair, right?"

The Little Duke was stunned .

He had not spoken for a long time .

He had not expected that Wu Yu would have turned his bitterness towards him .

However, he was not afraid .

They looked at each other . The lure of Wu Yu's proposal was too great . Right now, even his requests were not really requests . They all readily agreed .

"That's settled then . We will choose one who we think is the weakest . I choose: myself . " Unexpectedly, the Nine-Star Snow Wyvern volunteered .

The rest all acquiesced, voting for the Nine-Star Snow Wyvern .

But he was not the weakest . . . .
