Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1592: Unending Demonic Emperor

Doppelganger heavenly rule filled the whole void world, and tore Diabolical Dragon King to pieces.

Wu Yu did not let it go to waste. He transformed into the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast and devoured Diabolical Dragon King, obtaining his memories. Wu Yu had still been a little hazy on the disposition within Demon Immortal Realm, and now he was up to speed.

After all, the strongest that Wu Yu had devoured before were at the Darkstrife Beast’s level. Although demon kings at that level had a broad understanding of the Demon Immortal Realm, but it was still modest compared to what Diabolical Dragon King knew.

Information about further domains were beyond the ken of Darkstrife Beast and Bloodsucking Scourge. They only moved within this area.

But Diabolical Dragon King and Taotie Demon King were different.

Therefore, after Wu Yu had finished devouring Diabolical Dragon King, he came over to devour 10,000 Eyed Taotie. This 8-heavens demon king had also surrendered at the last moment, but Wu Jun had not accepted it. Setting them free would be very dangerous for them.

There were many beings throughout Demon Immortal Realm who could defeat Wu Jun if they joined forces. They could not let Taotie Demon King get away to leak news of them.

Diabolical Dragon King, Taotie Demon King, and finally Spectral Fire Phoenix and Nightmare Ink Qilin as well. They were all swallowed up by Wu Yu, their memories taken. His mind was a little scattered at the moment.

However, there was much information to process, in order for him to get a sense of the entire Demon Immortal Realm’s situation. This would help in planning their next move.

"A pity that neither Diabolical Dragon King nor Taotie Demon King knew the reason for the great war that finished off the Demon Immortal Realm. Seems like only the demonic emperors might know. Of course, it’s possible that none of the five demonic emperors don’t know either. After all, all of them ascended after that war."

Wu Yu mused as he continued to sift through the memories.

When he opened his eyes again, Wu Jun, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi were all standing before him.

"What’s our next move?"

Wu Jun was quite excited about this now. He had just killed 10,000 Eyed Taotie easily, toying with him. He had not felt any danger at all. If not for 10,000 Eyed Taotie’s slippery ways, he could have finished him off in a single move.

He had obtained one of the nine Apocalyptic Chaos Demon heads. Although it was not enough for him to breakthrough to the eternal immortal emperor status, but he had still gained quite a lot. A few more times, and he might well be a huge stride closer to eternal immortal emperor status.

"Let’s continue roaming the Demon Immortal Realm. Hopefully we can find more eternal demon emperor corpses. We can explore any void chasms we come across, but we must be careful not to be lost in them." Wu Yu proposed.

"Mm." Wu Jun nodded agreement. After all, he was only tagging along. Being able to roam the Demon Immortal Realm freely was all thanks to Wu Yu’s Gateway to the Ancient Demon Realm.

Wu Yu also had two more bronze pendants, that would react in the presence of eternal demon emperor corpses.

When Wu Yu had first obtained the eternal demon emperor blood, it had been the bronze pendants which had reacted first, and alerted him to the presence of the treasure. In the black sea, the two bronze pendants had been able to sense the eternal demon emperor corpse as well.

Afterwards, when they had come to the Apocalyptic Chaos Demon’s location, the pendants had again reacted vigorously. However, he was not too surprised at that time, having already confirmed the location.

"With these two pendants, we can find other eternal demon emperor corpses. We have a huge advantage compared to other demon immortals. They react when near, and have a stronger response in the presence of a stronger body." Wu Yu told Wu Jun.

With Wu Jun around, they would be able to move around Demon Immortal Realm much more easily. If they met someone else on the level of the 8-heavens demon kings of Fiendish Underworld Metropolis or 10,000 Demons Ancient Lands, they could handle it with ease now.

The two of them left the depths of the Apocalyptic Chaos Demon’s void chasm. They turned back, and an unnatural shiver ran through them as they again looked at the yawning abyss of the void chasm.

What could have ended all of the eternal demon emperors in the Demon Immortal Realm, and even destroyed the Demon Immortal Realm......

Wu Yu was like a street rat in the sky palaces - anyone would scream upon seeing him and give up his location. Soon after, countless eternal immortal emperors would be in pursuit.

Therefore, Wu Yu could only remain in Demon Immortal Realm for now.

However, he was not idling his time away. Here in Demon Immortal Realm, he could look for eternal demon emperor corpses, and also explore the real reason why the Demon Immortal Realm had collapsed.

The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s appearance had made Wu Yu realize some things. He was now keenly aware that the Great Sage’s power came with great responsibility.

To Wu Yu, he had a duty to do what he could do, within the limits of his abilities.

The Demon Immortal Realm’s situation might well have something to do with the Jingu Bang that the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal had left behind. As for what had happened to the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, Wu Yu did not know.

They planned to continue roaming Demon Immortal Realm.

The good thing was that Wu Yu and Wu Jun roaming around did not fear any danger. One was strong, and one could run. As for Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi, they could come out for a breather and to play, but most of the time they would spend in Floating Dreams Pagoda cultivating.

When all four were gathered, Wu Yu would occasionally speak about the situation in Demon Immortal Realm.

From Diabolical Dragon King and Taotie Demon King’s memories, Wu Yu knew that both these demon kings were in the territory of a demonic emperor called Unending Demonic Emperor, who ruled over the Unending Demon Empire.

There were five major empires in the Demon Immortal Realm now, ruled by five 9-heavens demonic emperors. Unending Demon Empire was one of the five empires.

"Unending Demonic Emperor’s real body is the Unending Crepuscular Sea. He was a dark sea in the mortal domain which became a demon. It is incredibly difficult for such an object to become a demon, but once it succeeds it has great potential.

Back when Diabolical Dragon King had first been disturbed by 10,000 Eyed Taotie, he had threatened to report it to the demonic emperor. He had been referring to the Unending Demonic Emperor.

Each demonic emperor had at least five 8-heavens demon kings under him. Even for someone as powerful as the Unending Demonic Emperor, Diabolical Dragon King and Taotie Demon King were important components of his line-up. With the two dead, Unending Demon Empire would be considerably diminished.

Of course, as long as the five demonic emperors, the anchors of the five empires, did not die, then their empires would stand. One or two 8-heavens demon kings’ deaths would not immediately change anything.

After hearing that the Unending Crepuscular Sea’s demonic emperor was actually a sea turned demon, Wu Jun exclaimed: "What a waste! If this Unending Demonic Emperor had ascended earlier into a normal Demon Immortal Realm, he would probably have become an eternal demon emperor long ago!"

"Mm. Not only is the immortal qi here very sparse, many of the crucial resources can’t be found. Most important of all is guidance from the eternal demon emperors, and so they must work through every single bit of knowledge for themselves." Wu Yu agreed.

"If the eternal demon emperors were still around, these five demonic emperors would probably have been heavily favored, and risen to eternal demon emperor status under their status long ago." Wu Jun shook his head sadly.

But he could not do anything about this. Wu Jun himself was still working on behalf of eternal immortal emperors.

All he knew was that attaining eternal life was not so easy. But things would go a lot more smoothly with a senior’s guidance. If not for the veritable archive of cultivation manuals in the mystical dragon tribe’s collection, he would not have gained as many insights, and he would have been much further from eternal immortal emperor status. He might not even have been at the 9-heavens immortal king level.

This was the advantage of a legacy, of having someone go before.

The crumbling of the Demon Immortal Realm had wiped out all of the past eternal demon emperors, and also ravaged the realm, leaving it in a barren state.

"I bet all of the demon immortals here are dying to get out of this ghastly place!"

Wu Jun laughed. There was nothing he could do. He could not possibly bring them out of here. Since the beginning of time, the sky palaces, hell, and Demon Immortal Realm had been separate. Even if Demon Immortal Realm had fallen into such a state, the demon immortals could not possibly go to the sky palaces or hells.

In any case, he knew that the eternal immortal emperors would definitely not agree.

"They indeed all wish to leave, but that’s something that not even the eternal demon emperors could achieve." Wu Yu concurred.

"Oh right. Besides the Unending Demonic Emperor, who are the other four?" Wu Jun was quite interested, and continued to ask details of Wu Yu when they were free.

Of course, Wu Yu would not keep the information from him either.

He had already drawn a full picture of the Demon Immortal Realm from Diabolical Dragon King’s memories.

Besides the Unending Crepuscular Sea - aka Unending Demonic Emperor - who Diabolical Dragon King and Taotie Demon King worked for, the other four empires were all far away, and Wu Yu had rarely entered their territory. From the start, he had mostly been moving about Unending Demon Empire only.

Therefore, the other four demonic emperor’s names rarely came up in these parts. Many of the demon immortals did not even know about them.

But since Wu Jun had asked, Wu Yu explained it to him.
