Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1641: A Battle in 5000 Years Time

Following Wu Jun’s appeal, the other dragon emperors and revered dragons started to consider if it was worth making an enemy out of Wu Yu.

After all, talents were attractive. If Wu Yu was truly an unparalleled talent, then it was not a good choice to make him an enemy now. Based on their past observations, Wu Yu’s talent was indeed much higher than average immortals.

There was not much hatred between the Mystical dragon tribe and Wu Yu, save for minor disputes.

Even though one of the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor’s grandsons died at Wu Yu’s hands, but to eternal immortal emperors, one or two grandchildren meant nothing unless these grandchildren were meant to become eternal immortal emperors. Otherwise, the only difference that mattered was simply the time of their death.

From this aspect, the Mystical dragon tribe did not really have any reason to turn Wu Yu into an enemy.

The key was that the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor failed to capture Wu Yu even after two attempts. Wu Yu slipped through his fingers agile like a monkey. No one in the entire Mystical dragon tribe could catch him.

If the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor had no way of capturing Wu Yu, then it would be the same for the other dragon emperors. If they had wanted to trap Wu Yu, then they had to use more powerful moves. At that time, they would be causing a great commotion and would even have to activate some secret moves of the Mystical dragon tribe. There was no need to risk exposure of the Mystical dragon tribe’s secrets just to handle Wu Yu.

Hence, the other dragon emperors were now inclined to negotiate with Wu Yu.

However, they did not speak yet as they wanted to see how the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor would handle Wu Jun. After all, Wu Jun was from the Sky Heart tribe.

Luo Pin was the inheritor of the Dragon Ancestor’s legacy. She was the treasure of the entire Mystical dragon tribe. They would never let her leave the tribe. Other than this, they were open to choices depending on the situation.

Sky Heart Dragon Emperor was maddened after hearing Wu Jun’s words and even more so after looking at Wu Yu who had escaped from him twice.

He took one look at Wu Jun and snorted: "Wu Yu, I want to give you a chance. Wu Jun is after all from our Mystical dragon tribe. It is a grave crime that he committed to bring an outsider like you into the Saintly Dragon’s Domain! However, if you leave Luo Pin behind, we can forget that this happened. We will also not stop you from leaving. Everything that happened today will be treated as it had never happened. How’s this?"

The Sky Heart Dragon Emperor felt that this was already a generous set of conditions.

If this were another person, he would definitely report him to the other eternal immortal emperors in the sky palaces so that they would come and persecute Wu Yu. However, at this point, he could only force Wu Yu to leave Luo Pin behind and everything else would be forgiven. Even the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor himself could not believe his own ears that he had to propose such a solution.

However, this was unacceptable to Wu Yu.

The Sky Heart Dragon Emperor’s words carried an obvious threat. If he forcibly escaped with Luo Pin, then Wu Jun would be punished. It was just that Wu Jun was now part of the Revered Dragon Council. His status was newly elevated and his punishment would not be determined just by the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor alone.

Hence, even the punishment would not be too heavy.

At the most, Wu Jun would be imprisoned. Wu Jun had discussed this with Wu Yu that if they were discovered and the dragon emperors were insistent on punishing him, Wu Yu should not worry. He knew that the punishment would be moderate or light.

Hence, even now, Wu Yu did not take the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor’s threat to heart.

He only said: "You want me to leave Luo Pin behind so that she can continue to be imprisoned by you all? That’s impossible!"

Wu Yu announced his determination.

He was determined to leave with Luo Pin today. Not only that, Wu Yu wanted to be able to meet Luo Pin openly.

After all, Luo Pin was part of the Mystical dragon tribe and the legacy holder of the Dragon Ancestor. It would not be suitable for her to roam the world with him too.

All was left now was to see if the dragon emperors could come up with a more suitable proposal.

The Sky Heart Dragon Emperor was on the verge of exploding with anger upon hearing Wu Yu’s demand. It was just that he alone could not decide anything here.

The Sky Heart Dragon Emperor was merely one of the 9 Great Dragon Emperors in the Mystical dragon tribe.

He simply could not see eye to eye with Wu Yu. However, the other dragon emperors were still fair. They asked the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor to gather and started discussion.

Firstly, they had initially thought that it would be useless to imprison Luo Pin, the inheritor of the Dragon Ancestor’s legacy. Their main purpose was to get Luo Pin to forget Wu Yu. However, from the situation at hand, they realised that this was impossible.

If that was the case, then it would be useless to prevent Wu Yu and Luo Pin from meeting. Forcing them apart would do nothing to benefit their cause.

Hence, they started to think of other solutions.

After a heated discussion, even if the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor had objected to it, the majority of the other 8 Great Dragon Emperors and revered dragons supported the suggestion to give Wu Yu a chance to prove himself.

"Wu Yu! There is no hatred between you and the Mystical dragon tribe and there is no need for us to become enemies. We can free Luo Pin and not stop you two from meeting. However, there is a condition. You have to prove your own worth!" Burning Life Dragon Emperor stood out and spoke. He was a primordial mystical dragon whose body was cloaked in ever-burning flames of chaos. His eyes seemed to behold the origin of fire and shone brightly as he looked at Wu Yu.

"Prove my own worth? How should I prove it?" Wu Yu did not retreat and in fact asked with interest.

"After discussion, we decided to give you 5000 years to prepare. If you can defeat an eternal immortal emperor after 5000 years, we shall no longer stop you from being together with Luo Pin. What say you?" Burning Life Dragon Emperor proposed in a stern voice.

"At that point, I can visit the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm? freely" Wu Yu asked again.

"That’s right." Burning Life Dragon Emperor nodded.

Since they would not stop Wu Yu and Luo Pin from meeting, and acknowledge their relationship, then there was no need to stop Wu Yu from coming to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.

On the contrary, if Wu Yu could really rise to power, then the Mystical dragon tribe would benefit from his relationship with Luo Pin. Even if the Mighty Miracle God and other eternal immortal emperors came to question them, then the Mystical dragon tribe could claim that they were unaware.

Of course, all these depended on Wu Yu’s victory in his battle with an eternal immortal emperor 5000 years later. This was no easy feat.

The average immortal would never dare to agree to such a proposal. One should know that Wu Yu was only at a lowly cultivation realm!

A 6-heavens immortal king!

There were tens of thousands of 9-heavens immortal king in the Mystical dragon tribe, in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. However, not a single one dared to fight an eternal immortal emperor. Only Wu Yu dared to battle one. Additionally, he was quite confident in his victory.

After all, since he could now easily escape from the clutches of eternal immortal emperors, wouldn’t that just mean that he was close to defeating an eternal immortal emperor?

5000 years was slightly short, however, Wu Yu had gained some understanding recently. He could grow much stronger in just 5000 years.

"Then I shall agree. In 5000 years time, we shall battle!" Wu Yu agreed earnestly to the other party’s conditions.

He need not worry that the great Mystical dragon tribe would go back against their words. Now all he had to do was to become stronger such that he could take down an eternal immortal emperor!

The revered dragons and dragon emperors present were surprised to hear Wu Yu agreeing so readily. The difference between the Great Void Immortal Realm and an Eternal immortal emperor was more than a hundred folds.

There was never a precedent of a Great Void Immortal Realm immortal king, even a 9-heavens immortal king, daring to challenge an eternal immortal emperor. However, Wu Yu had now dared to agree to this impossible condition.

How confident was he?

Only Wu Jun was filled with confidence in Wu Yu. He knew Wu Yu’s current ability. He might stand a chance in emerging victorious in a fight with an eternal immortal emperor 5000 years later.

"Indeed, you’re an unparalleled talent. If that is the case, we shall look forward to your performance 5000 years later. I hope that we will not be disappointed." Burning Life Dragon Emperor replied calmly and took the initiative to open a path for Wu Yu to leave.

"Of course, during this period, you must not show up carelessly at the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. This is to prevent news of your whereabouts from spreading and leading the Mighty Miracle God and others here. When that happens, you may not even have the chance to battle after 5000 years." The Sky Heart Dragon Emperor added. His voice was still filled with unwillingness.

After all, he was the only one embarrassed from this situation. He failed miserably to capture Wu Yu even though he was one of the strongest 9 Great Dragon Emperors!

Even though the other dragon emperors would fail too, the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor simply could not forgive Wu Yu for embarrassing him.

However, when the 9 Great Dragon Emperors and the Revered Dragon Council had agreed with a proposal on how to handle Wu Yu and Luo Pin, he could not object anymore. The Mystical dragon tribe was not to be influenced by him alone.

The agreement between the Mystical dragon tribe and Wu Yu was meant to be privy only to the dragon emperors and revered dragons present, as well as a select few.

As long as Wu Yu did not roam around unnecessarily, there was no way that other sky palaces, or other eternal immortal emperors like the Mighty Miracle God would find out that Wu Yu was here.

"If that is the case, might I suggest that the opponent for the battle 5000 years later be the Empyrean Revered Dragon?" The Sky Heart Dragon Emperor looked around and suggested someone to be Wu Yu’s opponent.

The Empyrean Revered Dragon was his younger brother and naturally would be on his side. He would never let Wu Yu off easy at the battle.

In order to give consideration to the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor’s displeasure, the other dragon emperors and revered dragons agreed to his choice of opponent for Wu Yu.

The Empyrean Revered Dragon was among the mystical dragons and looked at Wu Yu from afar. He was not too concerned about this rascal who was going to challenge him after 5000 years. He knew that Wu Yu grew strong quickly. However, the gap between the Great Void Immortal Realm and the Eternal immortal emperor realm was vast. Only those who have become eternal immortal emperors would be able to truly appreciate the vast difference in power.

Even if Wu Yu was now capable of escaping from right under the noses of eternal immortal emperors, his tricks would be useless in attempting to defeat an eternal immortal emperor. The defeat could only be achieved by a head on clash in battle!

This was an extremely difficult feat.

After hearing the dragon emperors and revered dragons’ decision, he glanced at the Empyrean Revered Dragon too. The other party’s aura was strong and domineering. He was much stronger than any other opponent Wu Yu had met. However, it was precisely because of this that this would be a new challenge for Wu Yu.

A mere 5000 years was not really enough for Wu Yu to prepare. However, this time was enough for him to raise his power to another level.

When the agreement was set, Wu Yu no longer need to keep Luo Pin in the Floating Dreams Pagoda.

He let Luo Pin out from the Floating Dreams Pagoda. She could see the entire process of his agreement with the dragon emperors clearly from within the Floating Dreams Pagoda. She was very touched. She knew only too clearly the difference in power between a Great Void Immortal Realm and Eternal immortal emperor.

"It’ll be tough, wouldn’t it?" Luo Pin finally had a chance to be with Wu Yu openly and almost teared up. It was just that they were still before the dragon emperors and she could not act too affectionate with Wu Yu yet.
