Heaven's Devourer

The voice from the bronze ball was filled with a deep sorrow, and it spoke a shocking secret into Wu Yu's mind: "This is the key of the Eternal Emperor Tomb. Destined one, take the tomb, find the culprit, and avenge all life on the Demon Immortal Realm! The flesh and blood of the ancestors will pave your way!"

These anguished words touched Wu Yu deeplpy. He could roughly guess what the being in the bronze ball was now.

"So the Eternal Emperor Tomb is where the eternal demon emperors of Demon Immortal Realm are buried. It was built to select a champion who will take revenge for the billions of lives lost on Demon Immortal Realm!"

Wu Yu found it hard to imagine. Who would lay down such a desperate and torturous wish?

The one who built the Eternal Emperor Tomb must be someone of incredible power. They were definitely not an ordinary eternal demon emperor. But even that being had been unable to take revenge for the Demon Immortal Realm.

He could only build the Eternal Emperor Tomb and wait for a champion to bear the torch, nursing his last spark of revenge.

According to what the bronze ball told Wu Yu, the entire Eternal Emperor Tomb was built for that sole purpose. And that the scores of eternal demon emperor corpses were all for the champion of the legacy to use.

Which meant that Wu Yu had been chosen to bear this legacy.

Wu Yu was profoundly shaken. The Eternal Emperor Tomb was a grand project, and it was purely for revenge. Wu Yu would never have dreamed it from the start.

Scenic Grand Emperor, Nine Inferno Emperor, Dark Phoenix Grand Emperor......

So many immortals, facing the combined might of the immortal and ghostly immortal emperors. They had smashed the Demon Immortal Realm to pieces, until it had even lost its former vigor. What could have caused such a terrible hatred?

Although he did not know who built this Eternal Emperor Tomb, and who had collected all of the bodies after that great war, but he could feel the pain. It must have been a heartbreaking labor!

How must they have felt when building the Eternal Emperor Tomb?

Wu Yu could only imagine. When the world had ended, and your only companions were ghosts and corpses, standing all alone as a rain of blood fell.

A solitary, lonely figure, hunched over and plodding amidst the scarlet shower, gathering up each corpse with care, and building such a magnificent dedication to house their final sliver of hope......

Mourning. Tragic. Hate, hate HATE!

"They have gathered all of these eternal demon emperor corpses as the price for their hatred. That was how much they wanted it......"

Wu Yu could only marvel at such resolve.

Even an eternal demon emperor would definitely treasure their own body. No one wanted to be left with nothing after they passed.

Yet they had all been willing to offer up their bodies to the future heir of the Eternal Emperor Tomb, all to nourish their champion who would be the vessel of their revenge. That was the depth of their hatred, the likes of which had never ever been seen before.

Wu Yu was guessing that he should be able to master the Eternal Emperor Tomb now, with the bronze ball in his control.

He conveyed the bronze ball's words to Wu Jun and the others.

Wu Jun very quickly understood. "If all that the bronze ball said is real, then the tests had deep purpose as well. Come to think of it, they were probably selecting the champion."

"The heaviest missions go to those with the hardest wills. Ain't that so, Old Wu?"

Full Moon of Nanshan guffawed. "50,000 years with only the walls and candles for company was a real downer."

"Big brother Yu, then are we going to take revenge for the Demon Immortal Realm's eternal demon emperors?" Ye Xixi's eyes widened in curiosity.

"No rush yet."

Wu Yu shook his head. "We don't know the truth yet, and so we cannot act impulsively. Before we confirm the truth behind the genocide, we should not make any hasty moves, nor should we disturb the peace of the eternal demon emperors."

This was Wu Yu's stance.

Wu Jun was approving. "I knew I had seen you right. You're one who gives respect. Before we decide to take revenge for the Demon Immortal Realm, we should not claim the prize first. If the creator of the Demon Immortal Realm knew of your attitude, they would probably rest in peace at having found such a serious champion."

"It's nothing. This is too monumental a task. If I cannot take it up, then I will be letting down the billions of lives in the Demon Immortal Realm." Wu Yu sighed.

He had been deeply moved by the scenes that the bronze ball had shown him. The Demon Immortal Realm had been ravaged so badly, and he did not have the heart to ruin their last chance at revenge.

Therefore, he would leave these eternal demon emperor corpses alone first. He had to confirm the truth of events back then.

"And also, I wonder what this monkey is doing here. Could it be related to the events of that time?" Wu Yu and the little macaque were very close now. It scampered up and down his body, chattering non-stop.

"Perhaps the little macaque is the clue. If we can get out of this place, let's take it along." Wu Jun suggested.

"The way to leave the wooden hut should be in the bronze ball. Look carefully, Old Wu. You'll probably get us out of here in no time." Full Moon of Nanshan said.

"Yea."

Wu Yu nodded, and began to examine the bronze ball.

All by his side now were trusted comrades. Ye Xixi and Full Moon of Nanshan had been with him a long time, and they had never once deserted him.

Wu Jun too was the same. He had known of Wu Yu's situation, yet did not tell Primeval Mighty Miracle God and the others. He would definitely not betray Wu Yu.

Wu Yu held the bronze ball, while the little macaque hooted and screeched at him. He ignored it for now.

He focused entirely on the bronze ball, testing his various powers on it. After about three days, he got a sense that it was the remote nucleus controlling the entire Eternal Emperor Tomb.

The bronze ball recognized Wu Yu already, actively taking in his blood and recognizing him as master.

Therefore, Wu Yu need only familiarize himself with the workings of the bronze ball, and then the Eternal Emperor Tomb lay open before him.

"Let's get out of here."

Wu Yu had finished his examination. With a single thought, all of the doors of the Graveguarding Palace were flung wide open.

Wu Yu was now the master of the Eternal Emperor Tomb. All of its treasures could be taken away. The eternal demon emperor corpses was a veritable treasure, but he would not touch it yet. Their graves would be left unconsecrated.

Wu Jun walked outside with Wu Yu, while the others remained in the Floating Dreams Pagoda for now.

"So this is the full picture of the Eternal Emperor Tomb!"

Wu Jun followed Wu Yu out, only to see that the mists had completely evaporated. The Eternal Emperor Tomb was left in its full glory!

The eternal demon emperor graves were all protected by epochal immortal designs. Once broken, the eternal demon emperor corpses would be his.

Of course, he could not possibly do that unless he was willing to take up the mantle of vengeance.

It was too heavy for him, and he did not dare accept it lightly.

Of course, even if he did not touch the corpses, it did not mean that he had gained nothing from the Eternal Emperor Tomb.

Thanks to the bronze ball key to the entire Eternal Emperor Tomb, he could understand every single epochal immortal design in the tomb, such as the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere that guarded the Grave of Lifeless Eternal Demon Emperor.

The bronze ball helped him to understand every last detail, and also how to dispel them!

Wu Yu made full use of this knowledge.

He began to study these epochal immortal designs, including their creation, refinement, and how to dispel them. Wu Yu had to first master them if he was to open up epochal immortal designs and take the eternal demon emperor corpses eventually.

They were far more complex than any great void immortal design Wu Yu had ever come across before. However, with the guidance of the bronze ball, he worked his way through them one by one.

Each time he mastered an epochal immortal design, Wu Yu not only understood how to break it, but was also able to create it. Of course, it would take him ages to be able to complete one.

Given Wu Yu's current strength, he could barely fashion an epochal immortal design if he was tasked to. But with the method mastered, and with enough time, he could definitely do it.

While he studied the epochal immortal designs, the little gray macaque always accompanied him. It swung around the banisters of the Eternal Emperor Tomb, but never strayed too far from Wu Yu's side.

As though affected by the sad and dark history in the Eternal Emperor Tomb, even the lively gray macaque was muted.

The macaque seemed to be doing its best to remember something, but unable to, no matter how hard it tried. All it knew was the little hut.

It had no memory of what the outside looked like.

Now that Wu Yu had taken it outside, it was initially overjoyed, but later felt like some invisible energy was binding it.

That was the sealing power within its body.

As to this seal, not even the bronze ball had a way of removing it. Wu Yu had tried, but was unable to help. He had no choice for now but to leave the little macaque to its own devices.
