Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1537: Golden Horned Ancient Varanus

From their conversation, Wu Yu and others understood roughly what was happening.

The two demon immortals were a couple. Golden Horned Demon King was courting Jade Horned Demon Queen. Therefore, he wanted to use the blood of the eternal demon emperor as a gift to her even though he had discovered it long ago. They had passed through numerous immortal designs, crossing from the other end of the dark forest to this place as they believed this would be safer than carrying it on them.

They wouldn't have expected that the blood of the eternal demon emperor had been devoured fully by Wu Yu, leaving only a faint scent lingering in the atmosphere. Compared to when Wu Yu and others first arrived at this place, the scent of blood had dissipated substantially. In fact, Wu Yu could barely even feel anything left.

Golden Horned Demon King noticed it quickly.

The Golden Horned Ancient Varanus was in high spirits previously. However, as he got closer to the vicinity of the blood of the eternal demon emperor, he had an unpleasant premonition. He surveyed his surroundings constantly as he passed through the dark forest. Soon, he came to a conclusion. The blood of the eternal demon emperor had vanished!

He was astounded and also infuriated. He had no idea who would have stolen the blood of the eternal demon emperor! Could it be others had found this place? This wasn't realistic. How could anyone find a place so well concealed?

"Golden Horned Demon King, you said there was the blood of eternal demon emperor here. I can smell it but why can't I see any blood of the eternal demon emperor?" Jade Horned Demon Queen was perplexed, staring at Golden Horned Demon King doubtfully and having a bad foreboding.

Could it be that the Golden Horned Demon King had ulterior motives of her and therefore lured her to a deserted area before taking action? This was possible as this place was too deserted. One had to go through several layers of immortal designs to reach the place and both of them took several dozens of years to get through these immortal designs.

However, Golden Horned Demon King remarked solemnly instantly, "Something is amiss. Someone has been here. The scent of the blood of eternal demon emperor still lingers and it might just have been devoured recently. The other party wouldn't have left the place so quickly. He's definitely nearby!"

"You are right." Jade Horned Demon Queen nodded. However, this didn't erase her suspicions of Golden Horned Demon King completely. In the Demon Immortal Realm, she wouldn't dare to be careless or death might be upon her at any moment.

Wu Yu, Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi hid in a corner. Seeing this, they knew they probably couldn't get away smoothly. Once they made any movements, they would be discovered by the other party. Even the slightest shift in their immortal spirit would likely draw the attention of the other party.

The other party was combing the dark forest and would likely find their hiding place soon.

Understanding their circumstances, Wu Yu decided not to hide anymore. Since it was just a matter of time till they were found and they couldn't possibly leave without drawing attention, he might as well show himself and see how the other party would react.

With Wu Yu leading the way, the trio stepped out of the dark forest. They had just completed their cultivation and were in peak condition. The cultivation realm of the other party had also not exceeded the range they could handle. Therefore, if the other party was determined to kill Wu Yu and others, they could use them as testing stones of their current strength and an opportunity to practice their new Mystiques and techniques.

Their appearance instantly drew the attention of the other party.

Golden Horned Demon King and Jade Horned Demon Queen got together immediately. They gave up on searching and started scrutinizing Wu Yu and others vigilantly. Soon, they grinned. This was because they knew their opponents weren't even demon kings. The difference in cultivation realm was too distinct. For them, existences like these could be easily crush with a single hand.

"Hahaha! I was still wondering who was so daring to steal my blood of the eternal demon emperor. So it was you guys!" Murderous intent leaked out from the eyes of the Golden Horned Demon King and anger fill his chest. He had prepared this gift for a long time and had not expected the three little brats to consume it. How could he possibly let the matter slide?

"They had just consumed the blood of the eternal demon emperor. At their cultivation realms, they definitely have not digested the blood fully. The blood of the eternal demon emperor is still within their bodies. If we could devour them in full, the effects would still be huge!" Desires filled Jade Horned Demon Queen's eyes as she stared at the trio of Wu Yu and others as though she was staring at food. Nonetheless, there was hatred. If it wasn't for Wu Yu and the others, she could have devoured the blood of eternal demon emperor in full and experienced the greatest improvements. Now, she had to make do with less.

In her perspective, regardless of the extent Wu Yu and others had digested the blood of eternal demon emperor, she would still be worse off even if she could devour Wu Yu and others currently. The effects of the blood of eternal demon emperor wouldn't be maximized. In fact, it might be even lower than one-tenth of the initial effects! This was a huge discount and sufficient to drive her crazy from anger.

"Let's get it going then. Three little brats still aren't qualified to speak with us!" Golden Horned Demon King scoffed and had no regards for Wu Yu, Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi at all. He was confident he could crush three Immortal Lord Realm with a single hand. Knowing that the trio had stolen his blood of the eternal demon emperor, he definitely wouldn't let them off.

"I'm going to devour you guys! The blood of eternal demon emperor isn't something lowly lives like yours can get a share of. Now, only your death can atone for the mistakes you have committed!" Jade Horned Demon Queen scoffed. The treacherous and venomous nature of Ancient White Jade Spiritual Snake could be easily seen from her eyes. Clearly, she wasn't going to go lightly against Wu Yu and others.

Full Moon of Nanshan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just like what I've said. They are definitely not going to let us go. Now, they are probably going to attack us. We would be better off just hiding like before while looking for a chance to ambush them. That would also be easier for us."

"Tsk! We aren't afraid of them anyway~ If they want a fight, they got one!" Ye Xixi answered.

However, their conversation allowed the other party to notice something.

Golden Horned Demon King exchanged glances with Jade Horned Demon Queen and could see surprise on the face of the other party. "Did you notice it? There's something unique about those three little brats!"

Jade Horned Demon Queen nodded and said, "Yeah. In our Demon Immortal Realm, there has never been...... That was most likely an immortal beast, right?"

Her eyes stopped on Full Moon of Nanshan. Previously, she was overwhelmed by anger and wasn't paying attention. Now, she could sense the aura around Full Moon of Nanshan was clearly different from ordinary demon immortals. The immortal qi that circled Full Moon of Nanshan was definitely that of an immortal beast. Shouldn't an existence like this ascend directly to the sky palaces? Why would he be in the Demon Immortal Realm?

"And that little girl seems to be a ghostly immortal." Golden Horned Demon King locked down on Ye Xixi. He had never tasted a ghostly immortal. Nonetheless, finding a ghostly immortal and an immortal beast in this place would have different significance.

A ghostly immortal would ascend to the 10,000 Levels of Hell and an immortal beast should ascend to the 8,000 Sky Palaces. Why would they come to a wrecked place like the Demon Immortal Realm?

Wouldn't that suggest they had arrived in the Demon Immortal Realm from another place?

This was an explosive discovery! Demonic immortal qi was thin and scarce in the current Demon Immortal Realm. There was basically zero demon immortal that could reach the level of an eternal immortal emperor just relying on the immortal qi in Demon Immortal Realm for cultivation. Therefore, all the demon immortals were interested to leave the Demon Immortal Realm and head for the sky palaces or hell!

It was especially so for the stronger demon immortals. The higher their cultivation realms, the stronger their desires. This was because they could feel the bottlenecks more vividly as they progressed to higher cultivation realms. The Demon Immortal Realm no longer had the conditions that allow them to become eternal demon emperors. To reach a higher level and achieve eternal life, one had to find ways to leave this place. The only shame was not a single demon immortal was able to find an avenue out of the Demon Immortal Realm.

Encountering a ghostly immortal and an immortal beast when their hopes were dashed, how could Golden Horned Demon King and Jade Horned Demon Queen not be agitated and exhilarated?

If they could find a way out of the Demon Immortal Realm through the immortal beast and ghostly immortal before them, it wouldn't be different from having a new life! They would have great opportunities to become eternal demon emperors and enjoy eternal lives! This would be entirely different and distinct from their current cultivation realms!

In fact, the way out of Demon Immortal Realm would be a thousand times or even ten thousand times more valuable than the blood of eternal demon emperor. For those senior experts in Demon Immortal Realm, they no longer saw the corpses of eternal demon emperors as especially important because there were too few corpses. On the other hand, all demon immortals were searching for a way out of the Demon Immortal Realm.

Golden Horned Demon King and Jade Horned Demon Queen instantly realized they struck gold. Gold that was way more valuable than the corpse of an eternal demon emperor!

"There's another one of them. What is he? He's strange and I can't tell if he's an immortal or an immortal beast." Golden Horned Demon King scrutinized Wu Yu closely but still failed to identify the kind of existence Wu Yu was.

Jade Horned Demon Queen also took a glance and was confused. "There is both demonic aura and ghostly qi circling him. I've never seen anything like him!"

"Regardless, they brought hope that we could finally leave this place. As for this kid, he's probably a crossbreed. We don't have to be bothered by him. He's the one that had consumed the blood of the eternal demon emperor and I could still sense it from his body. All we have to do is to consume him," Golden Horned Demon King scoffed.

"As for the other two, we can imprison them first and force them to lead us out of Demon Immortal Realm." Jade Horned Demon Queen nodded her head and was contented with her discovery. She finally saw a bright path ahead and she was exhilarated.

Overwhelmed by ecstasy, both of them had never considered what Wu Yu, Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi were plotting. When they saw that the trio were all at the Immortal Lord Realm, they had completely disregarded them, declared their outcomes and wouldn't listen to their explanations.

The reactions from the two demon immortals surprised Wu Yu a little. Wu Yu had never expected them to want out of Demon Immortal Realm so intensely. However, the void of Demon Immortal Realm was shattering and one wouldn't have a future by remaining behind. It's natural that they wanted to leave this place. The only shame and their greatest mistakes were belittling Wu Yu, Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi.

"It seems they aren't intending to let us off." Full Moon of Nanshan fanned himself lightly and spoke in a casual manner.
