Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1680: Giant Astral Prison

In the eternity of the sky palaces, a year passed like it was a day.

The mere one month left passed in a flash. During this time, Li Tianji hounded Luo Pin incessantly.

Although Wu Yu did not let Li Tianji in, but being pestered by him this much was irritating to the extreme.

This Li Tianji was a spoiled child. Nothing he wanted was ever refused to him. As long as there was a possibility, his grandfather Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing would definitely find a way to get it for him.

And now, that included Luo Pin.

Wu Yu would never accept his defeat in the Immortal Emperor Trials, or if Li Jing went to propose marriage to the mystical dragon tribe.

One time, Wu Yu had gone out to discuss the details of the Immortal Emperor Trials with Memory Star Immortal Emperor, when Li Tianji barred his path.

"You bumpkin, leave Luo Pin alone already. You think you deserve such a beauty given your lowly status? In your dreams! If you don’t leave her of your own accord, I’ll make sure you don’t return from the Immortal Emperor Trials!"

Li Tianji threatened Wu Yu savagely.

Wu Yu was unfazed, countering: "The one who might not return from the Immortal Emperor Trials might be you!"

He left.

After all, he could not start a fight within Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. And even if he did, what did Wu Yu have to fear from him?

This Li Tianji might have Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li behind him, but Wu Yu had the Patriarch Bodhi. And strictly speaking, the Patriarch Bodhi was slightly higher in status compared to Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, even if he was not as blatant with his favor.

In a straight fight, Wu Yu might not be able to beat this Li Tianji.

Of course, Li Tianji was strong. If Wu Yu met him during the Immortal Emperor Trials, he would give it his all. There was no need to hold back. But Wu Yu disdained such people, who had grown up in the shelter of others’ power, with a silver spoon in their mouth. What did they have to be proud of?

Li Tianji’s constant pestering did not affect Wu Yu’s mental state much.

Luo Pin did not want to see Li Tianji either, shutting herself away. As a result, Li Tianji was unable to even see Luo Pin once during this time, which made him want to get rid of Wu Yu all the more.

If not for the fact that they were in Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars in Mettle Sky, he would probably have attacked Wu Yu already.

A month without seeing Luo Pin had Li Tianji feeling all sorts of itches.

Happily, the Immortal Emperor Trials were about to start!

On this day, the Immortal Emperor Trials were finally starting, in a place called the Giant Astral Prison.

The Giant Astral Prison was an enclosed space above Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. It was filled with stars that made the entire space glitter in breathtaking illumination.

It was said that Giant Astral Prison was left behind by an immortal emperor. It was a lesser realm with only stars and no mortals within.

Therefore, it had always been used by the Patriarch Bodhi to hold the Immortal Emperor Trials.

The starlight within this world was beautiful, and any immortal women here would be lit up beautifully, the stars twinkling in their eyes. They were only too happy to come here.

It was so for Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy.

During this time, Li Tianji had been pestering Luo Pin everyday, which made the two girls happy. This was a rare mood-change for them.

They looked down on Wu Yu and Luo Pin. To them, Both Wu Yu and Luo Pin were mortals who had ascended. How could their dirt-like beginnings ever hope to compete?

Within Giant Astral Prison, the multitude of starlight rays lit up Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy enchantingly, drawing the eyes of many immortal emperors to them. They came forth to pay compliments to the Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord and Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress for raising such gorgeous daughters, and the two immortal emperors were smiling from ear to ear.

However, when Li Tianji came with Nezha and Li Jing, he did not even spare them a single glance, but continued to roam the place.

The two girls obviously knew what he was searching for - a glimpse of Luo Pin.

This made the two girls sullen. They longed to humiliate Wu Yu on the field during the Immortal Emperor Trials.

"A pity that Luo Pin is not joining the Immortal Emperor Trials. Otherwise we can show her who the ultimate woman is!"

Happy Fleece Fairy was a swirling black figure, sexy and dangerous. The starlight only enhanced her mysterious allure.

Finally, with great pomp, a whole group of people arrived at Giant Astral Prison. It was the Patriarch Bodhi, leading his own disciples!

The Patriarch Bodhi had a total of 10 generations of disciples to date. They added up to a total of more than 900 people. They had all come out to receive the immortal emperors.

After all, Patriarch Bodhi and his disciples were the hosts at Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.

The other immortal emperors were guests.

Although they were here to fight for the opportunity to enter Everlasting Battlefield, but guests were guests, and the Patriarch Bodhi’s disciples showed no arrogance or neglect in their care for their guests.

Together with the Patriarch Bodhi was the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, the Grand Pure One!

The two most prominent immortal emperors had appeared together, and even those like True Lord Erlang and Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li had to show their respect.

Wu Yu led Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi near the stage to rest. Because he was competing, he did not have ushering duties.

They looked at the immortal emperors in awe.

They saw how important birth was today. Being highly born was a ticket to a life free of want, just like Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy.

Being mortal-born, it was an uphill climb just to ascend to immortalhood, let alone rising to become an immortal emperor.

Even more impossible was for ordinary mortals to rise to become one of the greats amongst the immortal emperors, and earn universal respect.

Therefore, Happy Fleece Fairy and Peach Cloud Fairy both looked down on cultivators with mortal beginnings, including Wu Yu and Luo Pin.

Within Giant Astral Prison, the Immortal Emperor Trials was about to start. After settling in Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, Patriarch Bodhi had his disciples make a round of Giant Astral Prison, welcoming each immortal emperor in a proper show of courtesy.

Besides the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, four of the Five Directional Divine Emperors were here: Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor, Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal, Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress, and Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord. Amongst them, Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress and Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord’s daughters - Happy Fleece Fairy and Peach Cloud Fairy - were entering the trials.

Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal also had a child competing for the privilege of entering Everlasting Battlefield.

Besides the four Directional Emperors, there was also True Lord Erlang Yang Jian, and his ferocious immortal beast, the Howling Celestial Dog. Even if it was currently slumbering, all could feel the terror within.

Behind him walked the black-robed and cruel-looking Yang Qiang. He was one of the strongest competitors this time round, and many of the immortal emperors paid attention to him.

On the other side was Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing and Lotus Prince Nezha, standing behind Li Tianji.

Li Tianji had finally located Luo Pin, and kept looking over with admiring eyes. He completely ignored Wu Yu, as though only Luo Pin existed in his world.

Although Luo Pin had not even looked at him once, Li Tianji felt a tingle in his heart. The more unobtainable something was, the more he wanted it. This Luo Pin was such.

After all, Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy were always clinging to him. He did not treasure it.

The more Luo Pin ignored him, the more frustrated he got. He stared daggers at Wu Yu, wishing he could just rush up and cut Wu Yu down. But how could he act before all these immortal emperors?

If he dared to cause a ruckus during the Immortal Emperor Trials, not even his grandfather could save him. He at least knew that much.

Besides the abovementioned immortal emperors, also present were the Four Heavenly Kings, Mighty Miracle God, Father of Thunder and Mother of Lightning, Marshal Tian You, The All-Seeing and The All-Hearing, and many others. Even if they were not considered part of the ultimate powers within the sky palaces, but they famous enough that most would pay respects to them.

Many of these immortal emperors had brought their children here to compete.

Of course, some of them were merely here to watch, such as Heavenly General Zhao Gongming. These immortal emperors had nothing to do, and they were free enough to come and mingle with the other immortal emperors.

The Immortal Emperor Trials was one of the more closely-watched events in the sky palaces, because it implied a new immortal emperor each time. This coulc well be the Yang Qiang, son of Yang Jian, or Li Tianji, son of Nezha.

Whoever it was, it would be big news for the sky palaces.

Besides these great immortal emperors, the rest were the young immortal kings who were competing. These immortal kings included children of the immortal emperors, as well as some no-name mortal domain geniuses that the Patriarch Bodhi had tested and found deserving, although these only made up a minority.

These young geniuses might have little hope of winning the Immortal Emperor Trials, but simply participating here was a good thing for them. If they caught the eye of an immortal emperor, they might be accepted as a disciple and make swift progress from then on. Therefore, they treasured this opportunity as well.

Besides these people, the other non-immortal emperors were not allowed to enter.
