《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1508: Descent of the Dragon Emperor
Advertisement
Now that things had happened and seeing Tian Que Dragon King were shuddering and struggling, it wouldn't be a farce. However, those unrelated people around still couldn't get their heads around it.
"Wu Yu? The immortal beast from before? I heard he could be with Luo Pin as long as he gets a Mark of an Immortal King, right? He left subsequently and was said to go after a Mark of an Immortal King. With his strength, he would probably need another 5,000 years before he could enter the Great Void Immortal Path."
"Yeah, I heard Tian Ming Dragon Lord would want to marry Luo Pin previously. Sky Heart Dragon Emperor even said he would propose the marriage personally. At that time, I thought this was something cast in stone. Why would the four of them go after Wu Yu......"
Those who weren't aware of the details behind it would naturally be perplexed. However, it would just be a matter of time that these details would be leaked out.
"Did you guys realize Luo Pin seems to have reach the Immortal Lord Realm? How can this be...... It has just been several hundred years since she ascended from the mortal domain......"
Astonishment, gloom, perplexity and other emotions arose in the hearts of the crowd.
However, there were only fury and breakdown for Sky Chariot Dragon King and Sky Shadow Dragon Queen!
Sky Chariot Dragon King lifted Wu Yu with his dragon claws almost sinking into Wu Yu's flesh. That gigantic dragon head berated in front of Wu Yu. "You said Tian Ming is dead? He's died in the self-destruction of Wu Yu?!" Sky Shadow Dragon Queen was stumped and stood rooted to the ground.
Wu Yu answered dispairingly, "Yes, you are right! Nothing was left. I have not expected him to pick up a restricted immortal technique like this!"
Wu Yu had taken great efforts to choose it. Soul Sacrifice: Three Life Extinguisher immortal technique was a restricted Immortal Lord Realm technique. By igniting one's immortal spirit and all the autonomous realm power, he could create a collapsed world that would devour even the corpse. It's incredibly powerful and once struck, not even one's bone would be left.
Boom!
Sky Chariot Dragon King threw Wu Yu to the ground.
He was furious and roared at the sky. His eyes were bloodshot and he was just like a barrel of explosive that would go off if anyone triggered him! The key was he was deranged for that moment. This was because he didn't know who he could vent his frustration on.
"Tian Jian! Aurora......" Sky Shadow Dragon Queen was the same too. Her voice was forlorn and bitter as she cried into the air. The two mystical dragons were terrifying at this moment.
Amidst their cries and roars, Wu Yu crawled forward. He had to endure through this hurdle and therefore could only cried, "It's all my fault! I failed to protect them! I was careless! I should have killed him directly and not allowed Tian Jian and the rest to mess around. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so infuriated to resort to suicide to pull them along! I'll take all punishment! I failed to protect my brothers and sister. I should have died with them. I'm too embarrassed to face either of you!"

Owning up to his failures would win the respect of others. If he tried to shirk responsibilities, others would have looked down on him. What he did now was to uphold the honor of Sky Will Dragon King so it would be more convenient for Sky Will Dragon King to step in.
"Shut up!" Sky Will Dragon King berated.
Sky Shadow Dragon Queen and Sky Chariot Dragon King were in fact his competitor.
Just as he wanted both of them to calm down a little, it was apparent that this was an impossible task. They had their eyes on Luo Pin instantly and their gazes were terrifying.
"You! You will be buried with my son and daughter! It's all your fault!" Sky Shadow Dragon Queen was frenzied. The moment her eyes fell on Luo Pin, murderous intent burst forth and she charged ahead instantly. Beside her, Sky Chariot Dragon King also found an avenue to vent all his frustration!
This was just as Wu Yu had expected!
Seeing their overbearing reactions, Wu Yu knew his decision to get Wu Jun and the rest here was absolutely right.
Wu Jun realized long ago that their fury would be directed to Luo Pin. After all, Wu Yu was dead now.
Wu Jun, the Primordial Immortal Dragon, protected Luo Pin instantly. using his giant dragon claws, he grabbed Luo Pin, who was in her human form, and breached the encirclement of the crowd in a split second. However, Sky Shadow Dragon Queen was still charging towards him. Wu Hao and Ye Qianning teamed up could only barely intercept the berserk Sky Chariot Dragon King.
Wu Jun shouted coldly, "Sky Shadow! Sky Chariot! You guys better get your stand right. This incident was started by your children. They forced him to a corner who then decided to pull them along to death! What are you trying to achieve by venting your frustration on Luo Pin?! If you continue, I'll report this to the revered dragons of the Revered Dragon Council immediately!"
Ye Qianning added, "That's right. Previously, Empyrean Revered Dragon and Fire Mark Revered Dragon gave their promises that if Wu Yu could get a Mark of an Immortal King and become an immortal king, they would host their wedding personally! It's your children who were trying to break them up and even resort to ambushing them in the dark. They went for wool and come back shorn. Now that Wu Yu died in battle, you guys still have the face to blame it on Luo Pin?"
Luo Pin remarked, "I'll like to see how would the Revered Dragon Council handle this matter!"
The Revered Dragon Council consisted of 49 people. All of them were eternal immortal emperors. The existence of the Revered Dragon Council was to reign in the 9 Great Dragon Emperors so they couldn't act autocratically. When the conflict involved two to three of the Hundred Empires Dragon Kings, it wouldn't be an issue to get the Revered Dragon Council in even if they were the children of Sky Heart Dragon Emperor.
The words from the three of them finally knocked them awake. Previously, Empyrean Revered Dragon promised Wu Yu that he could marry Luo Pin once he become an immortal king. It was just that the people had forgotten about Wu Yu subsequently. After all, they also heard Sky Heart Dragon Emperor would propose the marriage for Tian Ming personally. Sky Heart Dragon Emperor probably didn't understand the matter fully. Obviously, he wouldn't pay attention to an insignificant being like Wu Yu.

However, to their greatest shock, Wu Yu was the same as before and continued to create miracles. At the same time, he seemed to have grown especially powerful! Luo Pin also ran out to meet up with him. Since Empyrean Revered Dragon had only restricted Wu Yu from ever stepping into the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, this wouldn't be anything.
However, it was clear to others Tian Ming Dragon Lord probably felt this was an opportunity to kill Wu Yu. He brought his brothers and sister along to pursue and kill Wu Yu. At the same time, he could bring Luo Pin back and force her into the marriage.
Things weren't just going as he planned. In a last-ditched attempt, he perished together with Wu Yu.
It was clear who was right and wrong in this matter. Luo Pin was definitely a victim. Wu Yu was her husband in the mortal domain and they had spent a long time together. They had the absolute rights to be together. As for Tian Ming and the rest, they attempted to snatch her away with their background and authority. In the end, they paid a hefty price.
Therefore, when Sky Shadow Dragon Queen and Sky Chariot Dragon King started the clash to kill Luo Pin, reason was with Wu Jun's side.
Emboldened by reason, Wu Jun was never going to allow them to kill Luo Pin! If they weren't around this time, Luo Pin would really be in grave danger.
"Wu Jun! You let an infant dragon out of the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. All the responsibilities are on you!" Sky Shadow Dragon Queen berated. She was stronger than Wu Jun but Wu Jun was just focused on escaping and not clashing with her.
Wu Jun chuckled, "Is this something grave? When your children are young, didn't you brought them out on countless occasions? What are those then?" "Don't you know my father has arranged a marriage for Luo Pin and Tian Ming! Yet, you sent her out! This is going against the emperor's order!"
Wu Jun answered fearlessly, "Who said that? Did you inform me previously? I thought those were just rumors? Empyrean Revered Dragon and Fire Mark Revered Dragon made their promise in public that if Wu Yu could become an immortal king, they would host their wedding personally. This was something that everyone is aware! I'll like to ask you. They were couples in the mortal domain and Wu Yu had since gotten a Mark of an Immortal King. All that was missing was for him to become an immortal king. Why can't I let them meet up?"
As he spoke, his voice became crack and sorrowful. This was because he had high hopes for Wu Yu and felt this was really regretful. When he received the immortal message talisman previously, he thought Wu Yu was joking. When he arrived at this place and saw Luo Pin like a living zombie and how Tian Que Dragon Lord was in tears, he realized these were the truth instantly.
He was fond of Wu Yu and felt this was a shame. At the same time, he was heartbroken for Luo Pin. Tears were still covering the face of Ye Qianning when she had to step in to intercept the raging Sky Chariot Dragon King.
In the aspect of reason, Wu Jun had a clear upper hand against Sky Shadow Dragon Queen and Sky Chariot Dragon King. After all, the rumors were just conveyed by Tian Ming. Others might just assume Sky Heart Dragon Emperor casually agreeing after Tian Ming's constant request. Sky Heart Dragon Emperor had not even proposed the marriage. This couldn't be compared to the public promise that Empyrean Revered Dragon had made previously.
Therefore, it would be difficult for them to kill Luo Pin! If Wu Yu wasn't confident, he wouldn't have taken this option. He definitely wouldn't want to put Luo Pin in a danger spot.
"Why are they here?" Sky Will Dragon King glared at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu panicked and answered in remorse, "When we were returning, she managed to send out an immortal message talisman when I was distracted......"
Sky Will Dragon King didn't pursue this issue further other than just shooting Wu Yu with an angry stare. He probably had resigned to it.
"This brat is smart to know how to preserve her life!"
Sky Will Dragon King knew nothing would come out great from them continuing this ruckus. Therefore, he shouted, "Sky Shadow! Sky Chariot! It's time to stop! They are gone now and nothing would change from your actions......"
Wu Jun also stepped in and castigated, "If both of you aren't stopping, I'll report to the Revered Dragon Council immediately!"
All of them were Hundred Empires Dragon Kings and shared similar standings. Even though they were the children of Sky Heart Dragon Emperor, they had no privileges given by the rules. The reason why they became the first, second and third Hundred Empires Dragon Kings was because of their strength.
On one end was the scoldings from Sky Will Dragon King and on the other was the unreasonable Wu Jun. Sky Shadow and Sky Chariot had anger that couldn't be vented out. Sky Chariot Dragon King could only bellow, "Wu Jun, our hatred is absolutely irreconcilable! You brought upon my son's death! We shall see! There will be a day when I make you pay the price!"
Both of them were in anguish and disbelief. They were struggling and still hadn't regained their composure! After all, Wu Yu was dead too. Now that their children were gone, they had nothing left. Other than anger, only grief remained.
Sky Shadow Dragon Queen cried tragically towards the sky, "Father, your grandchildren are gone! Come out now and see that justice is done!"
Wu Yu knew the greatest challenge was here. Just as he had expected, they were calling for Sky Heart Dragon Emperor. He would be fine but Sky Shadow Dragon Queen and others would be targeting Luo Pin. With Wu Yu already dead, they obviously wanted Luo Pin dead too. These were all dear grandchildren of the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor.
As for Wu Yu, he had to take the challenge to pretend to be Sky Heart Dragon Emperor's grandchild in front of him.
