Heaven’s Devourer - Chapter 1819
The black flames covered the entire sky, and started to rain down upon them.
The black phoenix in the middle of it all – was that not Nangong Wei?
The immortal and ghostly immortal emperors immediately turned to the black phoenix.
“Look, she’s trying to stop us from purifying the Jade Emperor!”
Wu Yu’s face changed.
He could see that the black phoenix Nangong Wei had joined up with the Jade Emperor, counterattacking the immortal and ghostly immortal emperors!
It had taken all they had to even stop the Jade Emperor.
Now with Nangong Wei adding her strength, which was about the same as the Jade Emperor’s, the advantage was completely on their side!
Nangong Wei seemed to have lost her self now, her eyes blank. She attacked with no mercy.
“How did she become so strong?”
“Why did she lose herself?”
Wu Yu was trying hard to think.
Nangong Wei, like him, had flown up from the mortal domain as a new immortal. Even if it was the daughter of the Provenance Phoenix Empress, Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord should not be connected to the Unworldly Abomination in any way.
After all, the Unworldly Abomination had swallowed everything 1 million years ago.
Wu Yu and Nangong Wei hadn’t even been born then……..
After the Unworldly Abomination went to sleep, life born since that time should not be controlled, right?
It was something that no one could puzzle out.
However, Nangong Wei was attacking now, her black flames roiling forth in conjunction with the Jade Emperor’s attacks. They sent Wu Yu and the others retreating steadily, unable to stand against it.
“Back!”
Guanyin Pusa made the call.
Heavenly Queen Mother knew that they were outclassed as well. Finally, they all retreated back to the Eternal Emperor Tomb.
If not, they would probably have suffered great casualties, which they were not willing to see.
“Is she Nangong Wei? Or is she Dancing Flame Phoenix Empress?”
This question continued to linger in Wu Yu’s mind.
But not even the Heavenly Queen Mother knew, when they asked her back in Eternal Emperor Tomb.
She had not detected anything out of the ordinary in all the time that the Dancing Flame Phoenix Empress had been cultivating by her side.
“I sensed the Unworldly Abomination’s aura from Dancing Flame Phoenix Empress.” Guanyin Pusa said gravely.
This was met by dismay.
“Could it be that the Unworldly Abomination influenced Queen Mother so she didn’t notice anything…..?” Many of the immortal and ghostly immortal emperors were suspecting this.
If there was truly nothing strange about Nangong Wei, then she would not have lost control so suddenly, or changed so drastically.
“It seems like the Unworldly Abomination knows about this now. It might awaken at any moment!”
They knew how horrifying the Unworldly Abomination was. It could devour the entire Heavenly Domain, and all of the immortal and ghostly immortal emperors and immortal buddhas together could not stop it.
Once awakened, what could they do?
“We failed to purify the Jade Emperor. It seems like we’re doomed…….”
Many of the immortal and ghostly immortal emperors lost hope.
They continued to debate about what to do, but in the end turned to the Heavenly Queen Mother and Guanyin Pusa, leaving the decision to them.
Heavenly Queen Mother was the undisputed second-in-command in the sky palaces. And in the absence of the Jade Emperor, her words held the most weight.
As for Guanyin Pusa, she was the strongest immortal buddha present, and also the clearest about the events of that time. She too had gained their respect.
The two privately conferred for a moment, and finally turned to Wu Yu.
“We do not have much time. The Unworldly Abomination might wake at any moment.”
Heavenly Queen Mother turned to Wu Yu with hope in her eyes “Wu Yu, you have the body of the Unworldly Abomination’s descendant. There is only one way left.”
“What is it?”
Wu Yu sat up straight.
He had also sensed that the Heaven Devouring Avatar would be essential to their plans.
But he was not sure how to use it. He deferred to the Heavenly Queen Mother in this.
“You have to devour the Well of Eternal Life!”
Heavenly Queen Mother asserted. “The Jade Emperor was once the master of the Heavenly Domain. The whole immortal domain was his apotheosis realm. When creating an immortal domain, the ninth tier immortal emperor has to create a Well of Eternal Life!”
“If one wishes to reach the ninth tier, first a Well of Eternal Life has to be established. It will link all of the lesser realms to create an immortal domain prototype. The Well of Eternal Life is the key to becoming the master of an immortal domain.”
All of them understood what Heavenly Queen Mother was trying to say.
The Well of Eternal Life was the key to becoming a master of the immortal domain.
In order to truly reach the top and become a master of the immortal domain, one had to create it first.
To fight the Unworldly Abomination, one had to reach that level of power.
And the only one capable of doing so was Wu Yu with his Heaven Devouring Avatar!
Once the immortal domain prototype was built, Wu Yu would be a new master of the immortal domain.
“Heavenly Domain has actually already been destroyed. If we wish to save all the life within it, and we can’t defeat the Unworldly Abomination, then the only way is to establish a new immortal domain.”
Heavenly Queen Mother continued seriously. “Wu Yu, with your devouring powers, you are the only one with the capacity to grow to become the new master of the immortal domain. And then you will transfer all life in the Heavenly Domain to your apotheosis realm!”
It was a bold plan.
But this was also their only hope, the only way that Heavenly Queen Mother and Guanyin Pusa could think of.
Wu Yu knew that it was a heavy, heavy responsibility.
Revenge for Demon Immortal Realm, for the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal and his companions, for the whole of Heavenly Buddha’s Domain…… All of it lay on his shoulders. And now the hopes of the immortal and ghostly immortal emperors were with him as well.
He chafed under the weight of it all, but he had no choice!
