《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1310: 9,000 Years of Waiting
Advertisement
Today was different from before.
During their last encounter, Lin Xiaoting's nine-colored thunder forced Wu Yu to remain on the move to protect his life. Even so, he had been injured, and had spent a good few days healing.
And today, he would face him squarely on the Dragon Emperor's Supreme Battlefield!
The spectators such as Tian Zi favored Lin Xiaoting, and had no doubts about the outcome of these finals.
Tian Ming had easily taken down Tian Zi, and then Lin Xiaoting would easily take down Wu Yu. In the third-fourth placing, Tian Zi would easily beat Wu Yu, and then finally Tian Ming would easily take down Lin Xiaoting.
This was also why everyone felt that Lin Xiaoting had good luck, while Tian Zi had lost out! Clearly, her Dragon Emperor Immortal Design was stronger, but she would fall to third place!
"In less than 10 breaths of time, Lin Xiaoting will win. His aura is way too strong compared to Wu Yu's." Many dragon kings made such a prediction.
At this time, nine-colored thunder had completely swarmed Wu Yu.
Within the crackling chaos, there seemed to be a nine-headed feral beast ripping away at Wu Yu's body!
"Tear this wretch into 10,000 pieces!" Lin Xiaoting's laughter cackled out like lightning. He was like a god of lightning in the sky palaces to Wu Yu.
"Keh."
Wu Yu had let him attack first to see what he was capable of.
Compared to the 9-xuan immortals that Wu Yu had killed in Dragon Emperor's Purgatory, he seemed stronger only in terms of immortal energy.
It was his turn.
He used his powerful physical body to tank the attack as he muscled his way forward, charging the Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon.
"Spirit Chaser Art!"
He immediately sent out a strong shock that ripped the nine-colored thunder apart and blasted the Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon.
"Roar!"
The Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon was disoriented, his eyes rolling back.
"What a splendid immortal spirit attack!"
Many had seen this Spirit Chaser Art in action now, and could recognize its power.
But this was just the start!
"Optics of Immortal Expanse!"
With the Spirit Chaser Art opening the way, Wu Yu charged through the nine-colored thunder. After using the Spirit Chaser Art, Wu Yu's eyes blasted out two punishing columns of fire!
The two columns of fire smashed into the confused Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon, sending him shooting into the sky. There were two gaping holes in his body, and the Eyes of Fire and Gold had turned him into a flaming mystical dragon!
At this time, the pained cries of the Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon could be clearly heard. His huge mystical dragon body writhed like a viper that had been rapped by a stick.
Many dragon kings frowned, and many more dragon lords' eyes widened in surprise, sucking in sharp hisses of cold air. This battle had developed too quickly, and no one had time to react.
"10,000 Celestial Dragon Slashes!"

Wu Yu had an indifferent expression on his face as he passed through the nine-colored thunder. He pressed his advantage. In his hand, the Luminary Celestial Dragon Mantra Sword blasted out with tremendous power, sword qi arcing everywhere. The sword qi of 10,000 celestial dragons filled the air. The charred Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon rushed out of the flames, only to be swallowed anew by 10,000 blasts of sword qi!
His body was ripped through with many bloody scars, and again riddled with holes.
"No!" Seeing Wu Yu's emotionless and casual expression, Lin Xiaoting could not bear it. He had thought this match up to be a stroke of good luck, but now he was being completely crushed.
"Enough. The battle is over." The Sky Will Dragon King's voice boomed out across the field.
Wu Yu would definitely not allow the mystical dragons to have anything to hold against him. Therefore, he immediately retracted his move when the Sky Will Dragon King spoke. Of course, even though he had ceased his attack, the Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon Lin Xiaoting was still left helpless.
When he stopped, the massive Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon, charred and riddled with holes, fell from the sky above the Dragon Emperor's Supreme Battlefield, paralleled by his crashing ego.
As for Wu Yu, he rose magnificently in the sky, his face neutral as he casually stowed the Luminary Celestial Dragon Mantra Sword.
"Thank you for going easy." A slight smile twitched on Wu Yu's lips.
The Dragon Emperor's Supreme Battlefield was silent. It was as if time had stood still. All around, there were looks of complete disbelief and bewilderment.
Even Wu Jun, Wu Hao, and the others could not believe their eyes. They also did not know and would not have dreamed that Wu Yu could actually beat Lin Xiaoting.
"Hngh!" Lin Xiaoting spat out a mouth full of dragon blood and then staggered to his feet on the shining floor. His face was wild, and he insisted, "No! It's not over! I can still fight!"
As he spoke, he again retched a mouthful of blood. There was still much of Wu Yu's sword qi lingering on his body, which he had to purge.
"Enough."
He was the adopted son of the Sky Will Dragon King, and the Sky Will Dragon King could not help but be concerned. The Mystical Palace Thunder Dragon was snatched up by the outstretched hand of the Sky Will Dragon King, who had flown to him in an instant. He said to a dragon king by his side, "Take him away and see to his wounds. He still has to compete for third place in five days' time."
"No!" Lin Xiaoting could not accept this result.
But it was no longer important, because no one cared if he could accept it or not. All attention was on Wu Yu now.
The crowd's expressions were interesting to watch.
Clap, clap! Wu Jun started to clap, beaming. "Wu Yu, you performed really well. Congratulations. To think that someone from the Primordial Immortal Empire could enter the grand finals."

With him leading the applause, the Primordial Immortal Empire all followed suit, as did a good number of others.
Only the Luminary Dragon King and a few others became even more embarrassed, especially Ye Xuanyi. Wu Yu had defeated Lin Xiaoting with his Luminary Celestial Dragon Mantra Sword.
He had once said that one day, he would beat Wu Yu. It looked like a joke now.
Clap, clap, clap, clap! More and more people were applauding. Many mystical dragons paid respect to his strength.
Of course, it was a strange sight to see mystical dragons clapping with claws.
The brothers Wu Jun and Wu Hao were over the moon.
"He's guaranteed second place now."
"To think that this kid Wu Yu has such deep potential."
They were grinning widely. On the other side, the Sky Will Empire, the Sky Shadow Empire, and the Sky Chariot Empire were deathly silent.
There were three Hundred Empire Dragon Kings here, and their children, including Tian Ming and Tian Zi.
Tian Zi was flustered. She had admired Lin Xiaoting, and now she was afraid. She knew all too well that if she had been in that battle, it would have been her that Wu Yu wiped the floor with….
Who knew that Wu Yu was such a terror....
Before, she had looked down on him. Now, seeing his composed expression, Tian Zi trembled slightly. She was secretly glad now that she was not facing him.
As for the Sky Chariot Dragon King and the Tian Ming Dragon Lord, their expressions were too thrilling to watch.
The father and son had been laughing pleasantly together, discussing how they would celebrate Tian Ming's complete victory.
And now, Wu Yu had delivered another sound slap to their faces.
Especially the Sky Chariot Dragon King. Ever since he had humiliated Wu Hao this time round, Wu Yu's every single performance had been a counter slap to his face. And now, he, the Sky Chariot Dragon King, was a bit of a joke himself.
It was like Wu Yu had crushed his standing.
Tian Zi had surrendered, but Wu Yu had casually beaten Lin Xiaoting. This was a double blow to the father and son!
At this time, perhaps the Tian Ming Dragon Lord finally acknowledged Wu Yu as a worthy opponent.
"Interesting! Very interesting! To think that I can meet such an adversary in my second Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. Very interesting indeed." The Tian Ming Dragon Lord laughed coldly.
The Sky Chariot Dragon King laughed as well. "It seems like Wu Jun and Wu Hao have placed their hopes on this Wu Yu to stand against me. Very well, they have guts! But clearly no eyes to see who the Sky Heart Tribe truly belongs to!"
He was embarrassed to the point of anger. It had been so many years. Wu Hao and Ye Qianning's union had been a devastating blow to him when he was young, but things had gone smoothly ever since. To think that this day would come, when Wu Hao would again emerge and foil the dreams of his son in a crucial battle. It was like declaring war on him.
It was like a sound slap to his face!
This truly made the Sky Chariot Dragon King furious.
"Don't get too worked up. This guy can defeat Lin Xiaoting, but he's still some ways away from your son. After all, the Immortal Lord Realm is a whole new level above Xuan immortals," the Sky Shadow Dragon Queen stated mildly. Her Tian Zi was already more or less guaranteed third place. Wu Yu grievously wounding Lin Xiaoting had instead helped Tian Zi.
The Sky Chariot Dragon King said, "That's true. It's time to let these lively, hopping punks have a taste of despair. Ming Er, the grand finals are in five days' time. Do your best. If you can kill him, don't let him live."
The Tian Ming Dragon Lord said, "Father, do not worry. This prancing clown skipped up to our doorstep and paraded his antics around, making a fool of us. I will definitely teach him a lesson, and also the meaning of the Immortal Lord Realm. Of course, this will be the most painful lesson in his life. Because perhaps he might never have another one."
The Sky Shadow Dragon Queen laughed. "Have you both gone mad? Are you not going to consider the immortal backing him?"
The Sky Chariot Dragon King said, "Enough. This is our Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. It was he who asked for the humiliation. No matter how strong the immortal backing him is, they cannot fight on his behalf. That's his own weakness. He cannot blame others. Besides, we have the Nine Great Dragon Emperors, and so many revered dragons. All of them are Eternal Immortal Emperors. What immortal behind our backs should we be afraid of?"
"Well, nothing is stopping you from taking that risk. Bear the consequences yourself." The Sky Shadow Dragon Queen clicked her tongue. After all, this had nothing to do with her.
Of course, the father and son knew that this was a risk, but they could not swallow their anger.
The more he looked at Wu Yu, the angrier the Tian Ming Dragon Lord got.
"I did not hesitate to wait 9,000 years to get 10,000 years in the Tower of Dragon's Dawn. I have waited 9,000 years just to get first place.
"And yet such a person appeared and snatched first place on the Giant Purgatory Pillar. He humiliated me and mine, and now wants to snatch my 10,000 years in the Tower of Dragon's Dawn.
"If I don't smash your corpse to smithereens, how can I be satisfied?
"9,000 years is no short amount of time. How much I've sacrificed in these years...."
Therefore, even without the Sky Chariot Dragon King urging him on, he would definitely fight like a berserker in the grand finals.
Five days of recuperation.
It was over in the blink of an eye.

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
