Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1677: Oasis of Clouds

The cold voice was greeted by collective delight from the gathered immortal emperors.

This was the son of True Lord Erlang, Yang Qiang.

Yang Qiang, like his father Yang Jian, had three eyes, although the third one was currently shut. He would not open it except when the situation called for it.

In his two eyes, an indescribable coldness lurked!

He was dressed fully in black. His cold attitude made him appear like a killing machine, unfeeling and merciless.

"That Wu Yu can kill second tier immortal emperor Mo Liyin. That’s not bad. If I meet him in the later stages of the Immortal Emperor Trials, I’ll just kill him. Simple. No need for all this fussing." Yang Qiang stated in a chilling tone. There was no emotion in his voice, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop.

Many of the immortal emperors present were far stronger than Yang Qiang, but still they were intimidated by the cruel killing intent that he radiated.

He was indeed a chip off the old block. And if he could but reach the immortal emperor level, he would race forward thereon like a horse over flat land. They did not know how far he would go, but given Yang Qiang’s talent, it was not impossible that he would equal his father, or perhaps even surpass him if circumstances permitted.

Of course, this process would be very long, perhaps a million years. And anything could bring one low in this time.

Even if one became an immortal emperor, climbing was an incredibly difficult task. It was simply that dying of old age would no longer be a concern, and all of one’s efforts could be dedicated to cultivation.

Yang Qiang’s words pleased his father greatly.

Yang Jian was starting to dislike Wu Yu as well. The kid was strutting around in front of him, but he could not touch him. That ticked him off.

Now that Wu Yu was joining the Immortal Emperor Trials, if Yang Qiang could just finish off Wu Yu, then the matter would be resolved perfectly.

The Four Heavenly Kings and Mighty Miracle God all looked at each other and nodded in agreement. With Yang Qiang’s proposal, they need not think about Wu Yu for now. The matter would be left in Yang Qiang’s hands. If Yang Qiang could not deal with it, then there was no one left in the younger generation who could match Wu Yu.

"I just don’t know what the Patriarch Bodhi is thinking. To reserve a slot for Wu Yu, could it be that he had already anticipated that the kid would make it out of the Heavenly Devil Battlefield alive?"

The one worry left on their mind was the Patriarch Bodhi’s intent.

Of course, this was meaningless worry. Besides, if Wu Yu was killed during the course of the Immortal Emperor Trials, then there was nothing the Patriarch Bodhi could say either.

Next, they just had to wait for the Immortal Emperor Trials to begin.

A murderous gleam twinkled in the eyes of Primeval Mighty Miracle God and the Dhrtarastra. They were already imagining Wu Yu being killed by Yang Qiang in battle.

.........

At the same time.

Three youngsters were fooling around in a remote location in Mettle Sky.

This place was called Oasis of Clouds. It was a sea of fluffy white clouds, in which a Spirit of the Universe called fluff sprites lived. They were Spirits of the Universe born directly here, and each was like a cloud, living peacefully in Oasis of Clouds.

Here in Mettle Sky, the fluff sprites were a symbol of peace. Since times of old, the immortals of Mettle Sky would protect these fluff sprites from all harm.

Fluff sprites were harmless, and therefore seen as a lucky creature and the mascot of Mettle Sky.

Ordinarily, with the Patriarch Bodhi here, no one would dare to molest the fluff sprites.

But now there were three young and influential immortal kings who were busy chasing them!

One of them was clad in luxurious robes. His features were perfect, and arranged in an arrogant expression. There was a meanness in his eyes. This was Li Tianji, the son of the Lotus Prince Nezha. He was also the grandson of Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing!

Li Tianji had been a naughty character since young. Deep down, he was not a bad person, but he chafed against rules, and had brought endless trouble to Nezha and Li Jing.

And now, he was harassing the fluff sprites in Mettle Sky!

Behind him were two nubile young immortal king girls. These two were the ones that had Full Moon of Nanshan bleeding from the nose.

One was Peach Cloud Fairy, the daughter of the Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord. Her features were world-class. She had a sweet smile, and was clad in a pink dress. She followed Li Tianji through the Oasis of Clouds, her face flushing in endearing fashion.

The other was Happy Fleece Fairy, the daughter of the Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress. She was the polar opposite of Peach Cloud Fairy, clad in black and with an aloof expression. But when she looked at Li Tianji, a rare softness entered her expression.

Both girls fancied Li Tianji, and spent all their time around him.

Besides, their cultivation realm also followed Li Tianji’s closely. All three were 9-heavens immortal kings, and had come to take part in the Immortal Emperor Trials together.

Here at Oasis of Clouds, the two followed Li Tianji’s lead, chasing fluff sprites. No matter what Li Tianji did, they would follow.

Even if it was the protected fluff sprites. If Li Tianji wanted to catch them, then they would oblige.

And while catching the fluff sprites, the two girls would bicker and snipe at each o ther.

Peach Cloud Fairy seized a fluff sprite, and then turned to Li Tianji, beaming: "Tianji, look how cute it is, the fluff sprite I caught. It’s just like an immortal peach, all fluffy and soft!"

Happy Fleece Fairy was not to be outdone. She turned her nose up at it. "What does that count for? Tianji, look at this fluff sprite. Doesn’t it resemble your daddy’s wheel of fire? Bringing it back will make for an amusing souvenir!"

"And so what? I’ve already caught 167 fluff sprites, what about you?" Peach Cloud Fairy flung herself at Li Tianji, proudly showing him all the fluff sprites that she had caught.

Happy Fleece Fairy’s black skirts fluttered in the clouds, occasionally revealing tempting white flesh below. She casually snagged another fluff sprite and said coolly: "This is the 168th. One more than you now."

The two girls were at each other’s throats constantly, but that was normal for Li Tianji.

He quite liked both of them, and always brought them along with him. Good eyecandy.

He laughed loudly. "Don’t fuss now. Neither of you have even caught 200 apiece. Like comparing the height of acorns. The two of you added up haven’t even caught as many as I have!"

"Of course. Tianji, you’re so great and talented, how could we compare?" Peach Cloud Fairy said coyly, turning her lovesick eyes to Li Tianji.

"Of course Tianji is great. That goes without saying, doesn’t it?" Happy Fleece Fairy snapped right back at her.

Both girls were considered among the best in the younger generation, and many handsome young men wanted to chase them. Being able to woo one successfully would be a great accomplishment.

Firstly, their talents might not be on Li Tianji’s level, but they were not far behind. Their futures were also bright.

Secondly, they were backed by Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord and Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress, both powerful immortal emperors of similar reputations to the Patriarch Bodhi. With such support, the path of cultivation opened wide before them. What worries could they have?

A pity that both girls could not care less for their hordes of admirers, and were only fixated on Li Tianji.

This was because Li Tianji was truly exceptional. Within the younger generation, his talent was considered one of the best. Even before becoming an immortal emperor, he had already managed to kill one!

That was exceedingly rare within the sky palaces.

More, Li Tianji had a fierce character, daring to do anything. This fearlessness had compelled the affections of both Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy, drawn like moths to a flame.

Even the two greats behind them, Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress and Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord, could do nothing. Unruly hearts could not be tamed with a whip, and they could only submit and let nature take its course.

As for Li Tianji’s father and grandfather, they were Nezha and Pagoda Heavenly King. Both were overjoyed - marriage to either would be a joyous thing for their family!

It all depended on Li Tianji himself now. However, cultivation still took precedent now. To be able to reach eternal immortal emperor realm was the primary goal of their lives.

Soon, they had caught more than 1000 fluff sprites, which was unheard of in Oasis of Clouds.

"Tianji, we’re just here for fun at the Immortal Emperor Trials. Only you can take first place." Soon enough, Peach Cloud Fairy turned the conversation turned to the competition.

Happy Fleece Fairy immediately had to contribute as well. "Yes. So many people say that Yang Qiang is a match for you, but that ice-cold face is just repulsive to me. You have to beat that Yang Qiang."

"Haha, don’t worry. The Immortal Emperor Trials is a chance at eternal life. How can I easily pass it up?"

Li Tianji laughed loudly. "It’s Patriarch Bodhi’s new disciple, that kid Wu Yu, that interests me. I hear he killed an immortal emperor and was punished for it, just like me. It’s definitely my style. I want to meet him. Hope he doesn’t disappoint."
