Heaven's Devourer Chapter 1338: Arrival of the Immortals

The Floating Dreams Pagoda was still a relatively mysterious destinable immortal treasure. Till now, Wu Yu still couldn't utilize it completely.
Perhaps the marvel was because of the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
Among the 100 million immortal lords, Wu Yu was undoubtedly an insignificant being. Therefore, even though he had brought two additional people along, others wouldn't give him hell. Since he had slipped through the loophole, he put these matters aside and devoted his focus to the contest for the Mark of an Immortal King for the next 100 years.
"I heard that there will be lots of descendants of elite immortal emperors participating in this iteration of contest for the Mark of an Immortal King."
"I heard those rumors too. For example, the daughter of Dhrtarastra, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, will be joining. It is said that although she's just a 9-realm immortal lord, she could match an immortal king in battle!"
Within the Sublime Gracious Divine Region, more and more immortal lords gathered. The place was getting cramped, and it was an eye-opener for Wu Yu. In his view, each immortal lord could be considered an elite expert. However, they were as plenty as white cabbage that no one wanted and could be found everywhere.
Everyone was anxious and restless.
Half a month passed by quickly, and almost 100 million immortal lords had gathered. The Sublime Gracious Divine Region would be closed off soon.
At this moment, beyond the clouds, numerous immortals started to descend. Various elite immortal emperors entered the sights of the immortal lords.
The first to show up was an immortal emperor with a long beard. He remained within the clouds, which obscured his image. The moment he showed up, 100 million immortal lords knelt on the floor and chanted, "Greetings, Immortal Emperor Zhao Gongming!"
So he was one of the 36 Heavenly Generals of the sky palaces, Zhao Gongming!
Immediately after, many other elite immortal emperors showed up around him. They were all part of the 36 Heavenly Generals. For example, the second person was the renowned immortal emperor Li Qingtian.
Around them, Wu Yu could see numerous immortal kings and teenagers. Clearly, the elite immortal emperors had brought their descendants here personally. At the same time, they were here to support the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor.
Wu Yu followed Xu Zidong and the rest in paying respects to these elite immortals, one after another. There were so many of them that he felt overwhelmed.
Moreover, the longer the entourage goes, the higher the status.
For example, two of the Five Mountains Emperor Lords showed up towards the very end. The moment they did, the immortal lords could feel their emotions shiver. Both of them were huge like mountains and Wu Yu couldn't see the entirety of them. Similar to Wu Yu after he used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, they were giants.
"Greetings, Ruling Sky Manifesting Sage Great Emperor!"
"Greetings, Culmination Honored Sage Great Emperor!"
Although the Five Mountains Emperor Lords weren't as formidable as the Five Directional Divine Emperors, they were still venerable immortals in the sky palaces.
After them were the Five Virtues True Lords, including the Southern Bewildered Fire Virtue True Lord, the Western Platinum Metal Virtue True Lord, and others. All of them were elite immortals of the sky palaces and qualified to enter the Spirit of Heaven Jeweled Hall.
Nonetheless, the limelight on the several dozen elite immortals dimmed upon the arrival of the next two immortals. First came the Primeval Mighty Miracle God! The moment he showed up, he occupied half the sky. He was massive, towering, and seemingly boundless. His immortal body was over 100,000 zhang tall!
Appearing together with the Primeval Mighty Miracle God was one of the Four Heavenly Kings that Wu Yu had met previously, Dhrtarastra! Dhrtarastra had a Chinese lute in his hands and was imposing and domineering. Although he didn't have as huge a body, he was still a notch above the Mighty Miracle God. Among the numerous immortals, they stood out with their imposing and mighty demeanors. When they arrived, the other immortal emperors had to greet them.
Wu Yu also saw Mo Yuji next to Dhrtarastra. She was captivating and her beauty could overturn the 8,000 Sky Palaces. Lying in her arms was a little, black, docile cat. When Ye Xixi saw her, she still hadn't gotten over it. Lazy was melancholic too. After all, Mo Yuji had come out of nowhere to snatch the All Amalgamating Cat they were about to purchase.
Standing next to her father, she had a surging aura that seemed to look down on the world with contempt. Others could only look up to them. Even Wu Yu felt that this lady was the absolute genius of this generation and that she had the capital to be proud.
The immortal emperors of the sky palaces arrived one after the other. However, the host had yet to show up. Therefore, they started chatting around and exchanging pleasantries. The immortal lords who were watching from below could only be envious of them. Every one of them would like to join in their groups. However, those were all ancient and elite immortals - how hard would it be for them to ever reach the eternal life state?
The 36 Heavenly Generals were ordinary immortal emperors, and even they couldn't reach that height.
The Ruling Sky Manifesting Sage Great Emperor said, "Who would have thought that the daughter of Dhrtarastra would be a 9-realm immortal lord at such a young age! Her strength is truly admirable."
Dhrtarastra answered with a smile, "The sky palaces are vast and filled with countless experts. My daughter is just average. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought her here to participate in the contest for the Mark of an Immortal King as a trial. Brother Mighty Miracle God, your son is truly the supreme genius of the generation. In terms of battle strength, he would only be ahead of my daughter. Among the 100 million immortal lords, he's likely the strongest."
“Mighty Miracle God, has the Gu Huo Immortal Lord reached that level?" the Southern Bewildered Fire Virtue True Lord asked curiously.
Next to the Mighty Miracle God was an equally colossal figure. He was hidden in the mist surrounding the Mighty Miracle God, obscuring his true self. However, his eyes revealed a boundless archaic aura. If no one had spoken of him, Wu Yu would have believed he was an elite immortal king! Who would have believed that he was just an immortal lord?
"My son did make some improvements, but he still isn't a match for the daughter of Dhrtarastra. Moreover, there are countless geniuses in the sky palaces. Perhaps there is someone stronger than my son within the 100 million immortal lords."
"Mighty Miracle God, you are too humble." The group of immortals chuckled.
These immortal emperors who had come to support had also brought their other descendants. The Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Mo Yuji were just some of them. The descendants of these elite immortals were probably the strongest few that would be participating in the Great Void Immortal Path. For immortal emperors who had higher positions than the immortal emperors present, they would create elite Marks of an Immortal King for their own descendants.
Obviously, those present could also forge their own Marks of an Immortal King. However, those wouldn't be as great as those that could be found in this place ruled by the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor. For example, if Dhrtarastra spent some time, he could probably create a seventh-grade or eighth-grade Mark of an Immortal King. However, Mo Yuji's objective was clearly the most elite ninth-grade Mark of an Immortal King. There might just be two or three Marks of an Immortal King of this grade in the entire Great Void Immortal Path, and these were their targets.
The descendants of these immortal emperors were born and raised at the upper echelons of the sky palaces. They probably couldn't understand Wu Yu, who came from an insignificant background and had made his way here.
"How enviable." Even Xu Zidong couldn't help but comment.
Even though they were participating in the Great Void Immortal Path, they might not even need to secure Immortal King Tokens. Considering where they stood, their parents could just bring the Immortal King Tokens to them directly. Nonetheless, their strength was naturally top notch.
"How unexpected! Even the Provenance Phoenix Empress of the Eternal Phoenix tribe is here."
The Provenance Phoenix Empress was one of the six supreme emperors of the Eternal Phoenix tribe and held a position similar to the Nine Great Dragon Emperors. At this moment, she was a great distance from Wu Yu. Wu Yu could only see a ginormous bird the size of the Mighty Miracle God. Countless smaller birds were dancing around the ginormous bird, painting a majestic view.
"Greetings, immortal emperors."
"Provenance Phoenix Empress, you are too courteous. It has been years since we met, and more young talents are sprouting in your Eternal Phoenix tribe!"
"Dhrtarastra, you are flattering them. Immortal beasts like us are comfortable staying away from the limelight and aren't as knowledgeable and experienced. None of us have the same demeanor as your descendants."
In the past few times that the Great Void Immortal Path was about to open, it was rare to see immortal emperors of this elite level leading their descendants over personally. The status and position of the Provenance Phoenix Empress wasn't inferior to Dhrtarastra’s.
"Provenance Phoenix Empress has come because of my invitation." All of a sudden, from the middle of the sky, a clear and righteous voice erupted. Wu Yu lifted his head abruptly but instantly felt something pushing him down. Vaguely, he could see an old man dressed in a long, white robe. That old man had the looks of a royal emperor. His aura was heavy, steady, and boundless like the endless sky. When he arrived, people subconsciously wanted to revere him. Their hearts were racing and they only felt fear and respect, even if they were already lying flat on the ground.
"Greetings, Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor!"
Just as Wu Yu had expected, that was one of the Five Directional Divine Emperors, the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor!
"My immortal friends, you are too polite. I welcome you to my Sublime Gracious Divine Region."
If one were to trace back the history of the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor, he probably wouldn't be any younger than the Jade Emperor. Obviously, compared to the Jade Emperor, who ruled the 8,000 Sky Palaces, the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor was slightly beneath. Nonetheless, the Five Directional Divine Emperors could be seen as overlords over an area.
"I did not expect the Divine Emperor to be here to host this personally. We are truly honored," remarked Dhrtarastra.
"With Heavenly King here personally, your presence brings light to my humble Sublime Gracious Divine Region."
When these existences were speaking, the 100 million immortal lords could only lower their heads to listen.
However, the Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor didn't continue with the unnecessary conversations. He said, "The Sublime Gracious Divine Region will be shut in 15 minutes. When the time comes, I will open up the Great Void Immortal Path. 100 years after that, I'll be here to receive everyone. Before that, I have an old friend with me."
All of a sudden, everyone could see a general in white armor standing next to the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor. His aura was overwhelming and he was seething with battle will, dwarfing even Dhrtarastra, the Primeval Mighty Miracle God, and the Provenance Phoenix Empress.
"He's the commander-in-chief of the Endless Immortal Army in the Endless River of Stars, Marshal Tian You!"
So it was him! As he had a name similar to Marshal Tian Peng, Wu Yu had paid attention to him. However, he was helpless at this point. He couldn't even lift his head, let alone take a good look at Marshal Tian You.
"Marshal Tian You is here personally as well?"
From the sky, a hearty voice resounded, "My Endless Immortal Army will be the opponents of various immortal lords. It's only natural that I'm here for an initial show of strength. A reminder to all immortal lords around, my Endless Immortal Army isn't easy to handle. You guys better be careful. My Endless Immortal Army has prepared numerous precious gifts for everyone!"
"Haha! Marshal Tian You, you shouldn't be intimidating the kids further." The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor laughed heartily before continuing, "However, the contest for the Marks of an Immortal King will indeed be a little unique this time. And the reason behind it has something to do with the Jade Emperor, who stands at the top of the 8,000 levels of heaven."
