Heaven's Devourer

Soon, they could see a three-dimensional continent just before their eyes.

The continent was crooked and wasn't regular, just like a piece of rolled-up paper. However, as it was unimaginably huge, anyone could stand on it.

If it was fully rolled out, the area wouldn't be smaller than any levels of the 8,000 Sky Palaces.

Compared to the elusive beauty of the immortal palaces, the crooked continent seemed extremely shabby. There's even a portion that had been entangled into a void chasm. Most likely, this entire continent would be ripped apart by the void chasm in the future.

Previously, they were relatively far away and couldn't see the situation on the continent. When they got closer and eventually landed on it, they realized there wasn't any living creatures on the deserted land within their scope of senses.

Wu Yu had wanted to capture someone to interrogate him about the situation.

Nonetheless, he didn't give up. The trio started searching on the continent. Huge creases could be found across the continent, forming countless abysses. It's hard to tell if there's any huge castles hidden within them.

Soon, it was over half a month. The trio separated occasionally to cover more ground but still failed to find any signs of life.

"Oh right! Big brother Yu, didn't you say Jiu Ying is here? Did you leave some immortal message talisman with him? Perhaps we could get into contact with him," said Ye Xixi while she stared into the deserted and shattered continent.

Wu Yu nodded and answered, "The demonic aura is so dense in this place and it's still highly likely that this is the Demon Immortal Realm. Let me give it a try."

He managed to find the immortal message talisman for Jiu Ying and sent out a message. Thereafter, he waited patiently for a reply. The contents were to inform Jiu Ying that he might have entered the Demon Immortal Realm and also to ask where he was currently.

After the talisman was sent, the trio didn't get a reply after a long period.

"If we are really far apart, it would probably take several days to reach. However, more than a dozen days had passed."

Wu Yu furrowed his brows.

"Perhaps this isn't the Demon Immortal Realm but a place that is so far from the Demon Immortal Realm that even immortal message talisman wouldn't reach. Otherwise, something might have happened to him."

"Something went wrong?"

Wu Yu nodded and said, "He came to this place alone after all. Although I gave him a number of treasures, it still hard for him to survive in a place like this."

Wu Yu lowered his head. This was Jiu Ying's decision after all and all he could do was to hope that Jiu Ying was fine.

Subsequently, he still waited for a reply from Jiu Ying. However, the trio also set off to search for other living creatures in this strange world.

It took them close to two months to cover the entire distorted continent. They still didn't encounter any living creature, not even a mosquito.

They were some ancient plants but they were relatively withered due to a lack of demonic spiritual qi. They didn't hold any value and would even break apart upon touch.

"There're footprints! Moreover, they are definitely from demon immortals!"

After a long time, the only discovery was some footprints. At this stage, only these footprints were proof that living creatures existed in this place.

Later, they left the place. Avoiding the void chasm, they chose another direction to advance. Amidst the endless space, they found another place that looked like a suspended mountain. It was colossal and the total surface area wouldn't be smaller than the continent from before.

When they were approaching the mountain, the demonic immortal qi felt a little denser. The so-called demonic immortal qi was similar to immortal qi.

Wu Yu kept in mind the fact that he hadn't received a reply from Jiu Ying after a long period.

Subsequently, he sent out two other immortal message talismans but still didn't get a response. If they could verify this was the Demon Immortal Realm, the chances of Jiu Ying encountering a mishap were higher.

In the vast and endless world, the trio could hardly see anyone. Even if Jiu Ying was alive, it wouldn't be easy for the trio to find him.

In fact, the chances were slim unless both parties could get into contact.

Soon, they landed on the mountain. The place was relatively unharmed and therefore Wu Yu scattered out his 100,000 doppelgangers to search the entire mountain for living creatures.

Since he hadn't found anything, he wasn't afraid he would be exposed to danger.

Even so, it took several days before Wu Yu found signs of living creatures in this colossal world.

All he could say was that the living creatures were too good at the art of concealment.

One of his doppelgangers was digging deep into the mountain. When he was almost in the middle of the mountain, he finally picked up a trace of demonic aura.

That was definitely from a true living creature.

"Don't go!" Seeing a figure, Wu Yu shouted immediately.

"Who are you?"

A harmless girl's voice came from the depths of the abyss. Wu Yu kept away the rest of his doppelgangers and rushed over with his main body. At the same time, his doppelganger was trying to stall for time.

"What demon are you? Why can't I tell?" At this point, the demon immortal showed up before Wu Yu. That was a snow-white demon fox with a pair of clear blue eyes.

Without a doubt, she was a demon immortal.

However, for the current Wu Yu, she's just a insignificant Longevity Demon Realm demon. 

The white fox had a fragrant smell and was appeared right before Wu Yu in a blink of an eye. Her eyes widened as she scrutinized Wu Yu and she didn't show the slightest fear of him at all. 

"You aren't afraid of me?" Although Wu Yu was just a doppelganger, he was enough to take care of her. He was prepared to devour her directly to read her memories. In this case, she would understand what is this palce immediately.

"Why should I be afraid of you. I have nothing with me that will interest you." The white fox rolled her eyes.

At this point, Wu Yu's main body had arrived with Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi. His doppelganger had achieved his objective and therefore retreated. It was then that the white fox saw Wu Yu's main body. She looked disturbed and questioned, "Who are you guys? I can't tell your true form at all. Are you guys those old seniors?"

She started shivering.

"Old Wu, please don't deflower her! For my sake!" The moment Full Moon of Nanshan saw the white fox, he begged for mercy to Wu Yu.

He was sharp and understood he probably couldn't move freely in the sky palaces or hell in the future. Now that he was in this deserted area, a female white fox was so important to him.

Wu Yu now had no intentions to kill the fox demon. He released his aura slightly to intimidate her before asking, "You don't have to know who we are. We have some questions and all you have to do is to answer honestly. If you lie to use, there would be punishment. This friend of mine is especially interested in the flesh of a fox demon."

"Argh!" The fox demon was flabbergasted to hear how Wu Yu described Full Moon of Nanshan. She shuddered and replied, "Seniors, feel free to ask me anything. I, Su Muyin, would tell the truth and the whole truth."

She was perplexed. They were clearly great demons! Why would they be questioning a small demon like her? This didn't make sense at all!

However, she was honest in hopes of preserving her life.

"Beauty, you don't have to be nervous. He's just scaring you. Don't be afraid, big brother will protect you," said Full Moon of Nanshan affectionately.

He kept his human form which was stunningly attrative. Any girl would be mesmerized by him. After all, that was because of the Nine Cycles of Imperial Immortal Body.

In the sky palaces, he was someone with a licentious background.

The fox demon no longer knew who to believe. In the end, she kept silent and just nodded her head anxiously.

Wu Yu asked, "You just have to answer my questions without questioning. First, where are we?"

"Where are we?" She was a little stumped but recovered quickly to answer, "We are in the Peak of the Granular Wooden Realm~"

Wu Yu reckoned the Peak of the Granular Wooden Realm was the name of the mountain land they were currently on. He nodded and asked again, "What about the huge world outside?"

"This...... Demon Immortal Realm~" Su Muyin was flustered and confused. This was because the other party didn't even know about the world they were in. In other words, they must have come from some place beyond the Demon Immortal Realm!

However, she didn't dare to speak reckless. She knew she might bring about her own doom if she spoke too much.

Just as they had expected, they were in the Demon Immortal Realm.

Wu Yu exchanged glances with Ye Xixi and Full Moon of Nanshan.

"Don't be nervous. We are indeed from the outside and are curious about this place. Let's take a seat and have a chat. Relax. We aren't homicidal maniacs. If we are, my brother here could devour you alive. Once he digests your memories, we would learn about everything too," Full Moon of Nanshan said affectionately.

"Argh!" Hearing this, the white fox, Su Muyin, became afraid of Wu Yu and unconsciously leaned towards Full Moon of Nanshan. Nonetheless, she also knew these people didn't look like they were scamming her. She knew as long as she was honest, preserving her life shouldn't be an issue. 

"Seniors, are you trying to know more about the Demon Immortal Realm?"

"Yeah. Tell us about it. For example, why would the Demon Immortal Realm be so wrecked?"

Su Muyin nodded but furrowed her brows. "Regarding why the Demon Immortal Realm is so dilapidated... the truth is I'm not too sure. I ascended from a lesser realm known as 10,000 Demons Realm 60,000 years ago. When I first arrived, this place was already devastated." 

"However, I did hear from others. I'm not too certain of the authencity as they are just rumors. It is said that this place is destroyed by the immortals of the sky palaces after they started a world-shaking war. The timeline was about ten Yuans ago or even further back like several millions or several dozens of millions of years ago?  After that war, the Demon Immortal Realm was gradually descending into complete annhilation and to the current state of today. I've also heard that if this goes on, there will be a day when the Demon Immortal Realm would be utterly destroyed."

At this point, she looked a little melancholic. This was because if the Demon Immortal Realm was destroyed, she would not have a place to go. Nonetheless, at the thought that she might not live to then, she wouldn't feel as bad.

"Immortals?  This couldn't be!" Ye Xixi couldn't contain her doubts. This was because she had not even heard about the Demon Immortal Realm in the sky palaces or hell. How could this place be destroyed by immortals? Wu Yu had devoured many immortals but they had no interactions with the Demon Immortal Realm. This incident was huge and it's impossible that he didn't hear anything about it!
