Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1619: Ice-Fire Tempest

When Wu Yu somersaulted to escape with Wu Jun, the Great Yang Origin beast turned its focus to the three demonic emperors.

If there was only the Great Yin Origin beast, the remaining three demonic emperors would still be barely able to resist its attacks. Regardless how relentless the various frosty heavenly rule powers were, they would still be able to endure with their various techniques and means.

After all, the three demonic emperors had extremely tough physical body. Olden Golden Mountain, Perpetual World Tree and the Dignified Lava Beast were all natural bodies of the world. They weren’t ordinary demon immortals.

However, when the Great Yang Origin beast got together with the Great Yin Origin beast, their defense line collapsed instantly.

"Damn you! Brat!"

Dignified Lava Beast snapped and glared towards where Wu Yu was with hatred and rage. The initial plan was for each party to handle one. Yet, Wu Yu was the first to escape, causing them to be attacked from both ends.

Anger boiled deep in him but he had no other option.

When the Great Yang Origin beast charged across, it fused with the Great Yin Origin beast immediately. The Chaos Flames heavenly rule fused with the Eternal Night heavenly rule, giving rise to an extremely fearsome circle of ice and fire that swept towards Dignified Lava Beast directly!

Dignified Lava Beast realized his surrounding void space was sealed the moment he wanted to escape. Moreover, his large body size wasn’t great for dodging. All he could do was to unleash his Explosive Lava heavenly rule in an attempt to resist the circle of ice and fire.

The next moment, the Explosive Lava heavenly rule from the Dignified Lava Beast clashed with the circle of ice and fire unleashed by the Yin-yang Origin beasts. Just like an ant trying to topple a giant tree, it was a complete one-sided affair.

The Dignified Lava Beast failed to resist the slightest. His Explosive Lava heavenly rule was drowned and in turn became part of the circle of ice and fire that overwhelmed him.

Under the dreadful blanket of power, the Dignified Lava Beast only had time to make a tragic cry before his entire colossal lava body was roasted, frozen and eventually shattered into pieces by the circle of ice and fire!

One of the five demonic emperors, the Dignified Demonic Emperor, finally died tragically like the Celestial Demonic Emperor after failing to escape an attack from the corpse puppet.

Wu Yu’s actions had undoubtedly brought great harm to the three demonic emperors. However, his focus was definitely keeping himself alive. If he hadn’t used the Somersault Cloud to escape, he would probably be the one that was killed.

With the death of the Dignified Lava Beast, the remaining Perpetual World Tree and Olden Golden Mountain lost their wills to fight. They gave up on resisting, turned around and escaped towards where Wu Yu was.

"Brat! You gone against our agreement! You will suffer a horrible death!" Olden Golden Mountain berated. He was severely injured by Violet-Eyed Emperor when they were in the front hall and was slower in escaping. Watching Perpetual World Tree getting in front of him, he couldn’t help but lose his head out of fear.

Regret, indignance, anger...... Numerous negative emotions arose in the heart of Olden Golden Mountain.

He imagined how great it was if he had not entered the Eternal Emperor Tomb. Although he wouldn’t have the opportunity to rapidly reach the level of eternal demon emperors, he wouldn’t be in any danger! Staying in Demon Immortal Realm contentedly would have been a great option! At the very least, he wouldn’t be exposed to the threats of death!

However, the mindset he had when entering the Eternal Emperor Tomb was that he was willing to risk anything, including his life, over giving up on this opportunity.

It was just that when he was truly staring into death, he finally felt fear and horror. The remorseful emotions soon took over his entire heart.

He didn’t want to die!

How hard was it for a mountain to gain sentience and become a demon?

Now, the Olden Golden Mountain was left in the dust by Perpetual World Tree and about to die to the Yin-yang Origin beasts.

All of a sudden, he recalled Wu Yu had a mini white pagoda that the Primordial Immortal Dragon could hide in it. Otherwise, the Primordial Immortal Dragon would definitely be one of the earliest to die.

The recollection gave Olden Golden Mountain a life-saving straw. He shouted in a hurry, "Let me into that mini pagoda! As long as you protect me, I’ll do your bidding without second thoughts! As long as you can ensure I live!"

His voice was clear but tragic. He seemed to have forgotten just a breath of time ago, he was still cursing Wu Yu that he would suffer a horrible death.

In the face of death, even 9-heavens demon king who had live for unknown number of years couldn’t control his own emotions. He wouldn’t want to die like this.

Unfortunately, even if Wu Yu wanted to save him, he wasn’t able to. This was because the Yin-yang Origin beasts were too close behind him.

Moreover, why would Wu Yu want to save him?

Initially, Wu Yu didn’t want any demonic emperors to die because they still had hopes of resisting corpse puppet. However, the corpse puppets of the Yin-yang Origin beasts couldn’t be defeated even if they were all alive! The survival of the Olden Golden Mountain no longer mattered.

Wu Yu was prepared to circle around with his Somersault Cloud and Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth after all the demonic emperors died while searching for a way out.

The other demonic emperors wouldn’t be able to do anything but Wu Yu was better in escaping. The Yin-yang Origin beasts couldn’t do a thing to him, period.

Finally, the attack from the Yin-yang Origin beasts finally swept across.

Dreadful flames descended from the sky and frosty twister rose from the ground to trapped the colossal Olden Golden Mountain.

The fear in Olden Golden Mountain amplified to the greatest upon sensing the incoming monstrous destructiveness of the Chaos Flames heavenly rule and Glacial heavenly rule. Finally, he reverted into his human form out of fear. With it, he managed to escape for now and managed to slip out of the encirclement using the more agile nature of a smaller body.

However, the Chaos Flames heavenly rule and Glacial heavenly rule from behind fused together to form a Ice-Fire Tempest that quickly drowned the human form of Olden Golden Mountain.

Just like the Dignified Lava Beast, the Olden Golden Mountain finally succumbed to the combination attack of the Yin-yang Origin beasts. Within the Ice-Fire Tempest, not even ashes remained as Olden Golden Mountain vanished in this world.

The tragic cries of Olden Golden Mountain sent chills down the spine of the Perpetual World Tree. He seemed to have seen his own outcome. To be devoured by the Ice-Fire Tempest and be killed like the Olden Golden Mountain and Dignified Lava Beast.

Fear creeped up and filled his entirety. He didn’t even have the time to regret and only thought of asking Wu Yu for protection.

The cries of Olden Golden Mountain pointed him to the direction of survival. Different from Olden Golden Mountain, he still had the bronze pendant with him.

He shouted at Wu Yu, "Save me! As long as you save me, not only will I do as your bidding but I’ll also hand you the bronze pendant readily!"

He’s in complete despair and this was the only route to survival he could find.

Wu Yu was a little moved. Regardless, Perpetual World Tree was a 9-heavens demon king. Although Wu Yu had no use of him, the fact that he was carrying the bronze pendant might prove to be useful to him eventually.

Wu Yu still didn’t know the use of the bronze pendant. However, having it with him wouldn’t go wrong.

All it would take was to rescue Perpetual World Tree. It wouldn’t harm Wu Yu greatly.

After brief consideration, Wu Yu moved swiftly towards the Perpetual World Tree and was perpared to throw him into the Floating Dreams Pagoda immediately.

However, it was clear that the Yin-yang Origin beasts were approaching the Perpetual World Tree at a greater speed.

The blistering sun and the chilling moon showed explosive speed while closing up on the Perpetual World Tree.

Initially, the two corpse puppets were a distance away from the Perpetual World Tree as they were dealing with the Olden Golden Mountain. However, they had since closed up and wouldn’t take long before catching up to Perpetual World Tree!

To Wu Yu’s surprise, a layer of Ice-Fire Tempest surrounded the blistering sun and chilling moon, carrying them through the space at speed over ten times of the Perpetual World Tree.

Almost instantly, the Yin-yang Origin beasts caught up to the Perpetual World Tree with the Ice-Fire Tempest.

Feeling the lethal threat from behind, the fear in Perpetual World Tree amplified. Since his birth, he had never experienced being so close to the brink of death. As a result, he had not considered cautiously what he would do when legitimate dangers of death were upon him before entering the Eternal Emperor Tomb.

Now, he’s regretting his actions. How great would it be if he had never stepped foot into this place?

He still had a chance for now.

The moment the Yin-yang Origin beasts caught up to the Perpetual World Tree, he cast a Mystique that only he could use. Surreptious Grafting!

This was his final life-preserving Mystique. The instant he cast Surreptious Grafting, a branch from the initial true body of Perpetual World Tree would detach. Numerous green vines circled and become an identical copy of the Perpetual World Tree, just a tad smaller.

This was creating a puppet, or one could say a clone.

The smaller Perpetual World Tree had its own consciousness and thoughts but was independent from the true form. One could consider it a perfect clone or similar to the relationship between Wu Yu and the Heaven Devouring Avatar previously.

Under ordinary times, Perpetual World Tree wouldn’t show this clone. After all, his clone was weaker and at roughly the level of a 8-heavens demon king. Once he died, it would be detrimental to the strength of his true form.

Now, he couldn’t care more in order to survive.

The smaller Perpetual World Tree got ahead of the Yin-yang Origin beasts and drew the attention of the two corpse puppets. The powers of Yin-yang Origin beasts fused as they unleashed Ice-Fire Tempest that overwhelmed the smaller Perpetual World Tree.

As for the main body of the Perpetual World Tree, it was as though it suffered a detrimental blow. The luxuriant foliage and spreading branches on it withered and dried up in an instant. Clearly, the death of the smaller Perpetual World Tree was a huge blow to the main body.

Regardless, he earned himself sufficient time to escape.

Leveraging on the time when the Yin-yang Origin beasts were distracted by the smaller Perpetual World Tree, he finally met up with Wu Yu!
