《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 0657: Apex Predator on the Immortals' Viewing Platform
Advertisement
How impressive Wu Yu was! How impressive!
All of these super geniuses of the Jambu Realm were completely under the sole of his foot in this sealed-off world.
The more the Eight-Feather Golden Roc and the others recalled how they had treated Wu Yu before, the more they regretted their actions. But Wu Yu feared nothing now. Exactly because of this, they were even more terrified than ever.
In their panic, they tried to scare Wu Yu away with words. Although they were of magnificent bloodlines as impressive as Jiu Ying's, their terror slurred their eloquence.
They could not even threaten Wu Yu with their stammering.
The Black and White Deities split up. The White Deity held Princess You Xue at bay, while the Black Deity kept Feng Jianqing away. These two powerful puppets were unafraid of death, and their onslaught rendered the pair helpless.
Especially Feng Jianqing, who was seriously injured. He was completely suppressed by the Black Deity at this time.
Wu Yu won himself a window where he could face the two demons alone. Right now, the advanced dao treasure that he brandished was what they feared most!
The more he used it, the more he got used to it. The power that this 10,000 Dragons Staff unleashed grew more and more epic!
Although the staff did not shake the world with its every move, at least within the Immortals’ Viewing Platform, the aura and space all orbited and moved in obeisance to it. It made it difficult for Wu Yu's opponents to breathe!
Wu Yu was bent on his decision, and the demons saw that it was hopeless. They steeled their hearts and decided to act!
Amongst them, the Emperor Tree Demon uprooted himself, turning into a huge, golden, withered tree at the side of the Immortals’ Viewing Platform. This ancient tree was thick and sturdy. If not for the Immortals' Viewing Platform, those golden claw-like roots would have taken root in the ground. Many tough branches sprouted from the trunk. Each branch held even more deadly killing power than a dao treasure.
The Emperor Tree should have been flourishing, but because of the fight with the ghostly cultivator, he had expended much of his strength. Right now, the branches were bare, and even the brilliant gold had lost much of its sheen.
On top of the Emperor Tree, there was a golden roc soaring above, with eight golden wings. It should have been a majestic sight. The impressive golden roc could fly a million li[1] in one go, but now he was caged in this small area, his body covered in blood. Princess You Xue's dark and icy dao technique was still affecting him, destroying his insides. But Princess You Xue had her hands full with the White Deity, and did not have time to dispel these energies.
The two joined forces!

They were just about to attack, but Wu Yu was faster. He used his Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth creatively in absurd ways. For example, he would shrink for speed and then materialize above the Eight-Feather Golden Roc's head while the two were still looking for him!
"Found him!" After the Eight-Feather Golden Roc discovered Wu Yu, Wu Yu had already expanded in size to three zhang. His three zhang body landed on the Eight-Feather Golden Roc's back!
The eight wings of Eight-Feather Golden Roc curled furiously. He was already very fast, but Wu Yu was swifter, and caught him!
Faced with death, a wave of fresh adrenaline burst through the Eight-Feather Golden Roc.
"Golden Feather Storm!"
His wounds were grievous, and he needed time to recover. It was already a heroic effort for him to be able to barely pull out his strongest mystique at this time!
Princess You Xue had tasted the pain of this mystique before.
But the feathers on the golden wings did not seem much less sparse. In a flash, a million golden feathers filled the air, sharp as blades. The dense flurry encircled Wu Yu and then filled the air with shrill sounds, flashing with golden light as they streaked towards Wu Yu!
It was as though a million knives had come flying through the air. Even an entire army would fall to this!
"Die!" The Eight-Feather Golden Roc summoned up all his strength for a counter attack that he was rather proud of.
This mystique had once killed hundreds of thousands of demons in the sea, churning the sea with blood.
Ting, ting, ting!
As the Golden Feather Storm slashed Wu Yu, he whirled his advanced dao treasure so fast that it blurred. Even though the golden blades came flashing from all sides, the absolute control of the advanced dao treasure created an impenetrable defense around Wu Yu. It was as though 10,000 dragons had shielded Wu Yu's body. No matter how the Golden Feather Storm raged, it could not touch him!
Crack!
Wu Yu beat his way out from within the Golden Feather Storm, landing directly on the Eight-Feather Golden Roc's back. The Golden Feather Storm came in pursuit.
"Apologies. Your injuries are too serious. This mystique is equally soft and weak."
Wu Yu's cold words reached the Eight-Feather Golden Roc's ears. High up in the sky, Wu Yu gathered his awesome energy in the 10,000 Dragons Staff and brought it down on one of Eight-Feather Golden Roc's wings!
Crack!
Such tremendous strength thoroughly shattered the wing. The entire wing collapsed, completely disabled.
The shrill shriek from the bird put a chill of despair into the hearts of the others.
But it was not over yet. The Eight-Feather Golden Roc desperately fled, using the Golden Feather Storm to harass Wu Yu. But Wu Yu continued to stay on his back while continuing to block. He could do nothing to Wu Yu!

Indeed, some of his Golden Feather Storm had scored hits on Wu Yu, but they could only graze his flesh, not pierce it. With a light shake, Wu Yu could turn the feathers to ash.
Ping, ping, ping!
The eight wings were broken in succession by Wu Yu. The Eight-Feather Golden Roc's shrieks rang out more and more plaintively. The Emperor Tree wished to help him, but he did not know where to attack, as Wu Yu was completely obscured behind his body.
Finally, the Eight-Feather Golden Roc was a mess, both begging and threatening, unable to string a coherent thought together. He called upon the heavens and hell to help him. In the end, the berserk assault of Wu Yu reduced him to a pulp and sent him into the next world.
Actually, this chaotic fight was over very quickly. In order to contest for the treasures, the Eight-Feather Golden Roc had truly over-exerted in the previous fight and was already half-dead. Wu Yu was stronger than him, and killing a half-dead demon was not too difficult.
"Don't blame me! Blame yourself for forcing me to take this course of action!"
When the huge corpse of the Eight-Feather Golden Roc crashed down on the Immortals' Viewing Platform, Wu Yu had already shifted into a beam of golden light that shot towards the Emperor Tree!
The Emperor Tree was frightened half to death. In truth, he had been completely unable to help just now. Wu Yu had cunningly hidden himself on the Eight-Feather Golden Roc's back.
This was the advantage of his prodigious physical body. Once he got close, he would be much more terrifying than his opponent. Of course, this advantage would be negated at long ranges.
"You Xue! Save me!" the Emperor Tree screamed, his voice wavering. However, there was nowhere to run on the Immortals' Viewing Platform. Besides, even if he ran, he could not finish Wu Yu off!
He was thoroughly flustered now. Those sturdy branches were stronger than dao treasures. They filled the air, powerful weapons that blasted out towards Wu Yu. All of them sealed his path forward!
He wanted Princess You Xue to rescue him, but Wu Yu was clear on how formidable the White Deity was. Princess You Xue had no bandwidth to interfere over here.
Seeing so many thick and sturdy branches flying his way, he forcefully shrunk himself to the smallest size. With the 10,000 Dragons Staff in hand, he used the Swift Art. The golden tree branches were fast, but not as fast as Wu Yu. As he dodged, he weaved his way forward, touching base with the Emperor Tree's trunk!
At this moment, he reverted to his three-zhang size so he would not be like an ant beside the Emperor Tree.
The 10,000 Dragons Staff was raised high. With a thunderous crack, it was brought down!
"Rains of Rebirth!" In his flustered state, he had no choice but to use his lifesaving mystique. All over the branches, leaves, and trunk, huge, golden droplets suddenly appeared. And then a golden seed-like object appeared above the Emperor Tree's crown, cracking open into a golden rain which showered down on the tree. The injured branches and leaves were rapidly recovering and renewing!
"I sacrifice my lifespan in order to be reborn. Wu Yu, I will have your life for this!" The Emperor Tree could not wait for You Xue. With a bellow, his voice rattled even the barrier of the Immortals' Viewing Platform.
Who would have thought that you could sacrifice your life force for recovery? However, he should have used it much earlier. If he had used it from the start, he would still have the Eight-Feather Golden Roc to help him. Right now, Wu Yu was facing him alone, so he was not afraid at all!
At this moment, the Emperor Tree was being renewed, from an ancient tree into a youthful one.
At this time, Wu Yu used the Violent Art without hesitation. His arms grew thicker, and he was already at the maximum size of Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. Combined with the Violent Art, his muscular strength sextupled!
This surge was never seen before, and Wu Yu roared, bringing down devastating power on the trunk of the Emperor Tree. The Emperor Tree Demon was in the midst of regenerating, but he was broken at the waist!
Crack!
With a reverberating sound, the top and bottom were separated, and the crown of the Emperor Tree fell to the Immortals' Viewing Platform.
The bottom portion was very badly damaged as well.
This amount of damage could not be healed by the Rains of Rebirth. In addition, Wu Yu kept up a barrage of frenzied attacks. Whether branches or leaves, a golden blur continued to wreak havoc, zipping across the floor. Wu Yu looked like he was cutting timber, and there was no blood at all.
Kacha, Kacha!
From the start, the Emperor Tree yelled gustily. Towards the end, his voice began to recede, finally disappearing.
Emperor Tree, dead!
The Emperor Tree had been long-lived. After killing him, Wu Yu felt a little fatigued. However, only Princess You Xue and Feng Jianqing were left now. He had already completely taken the upper hand, and there was no need to be afraid now.
The situation was completely in Wu Yu's hands.
He was the apex predator on this Immortals' Viewing Platform.
The deaths of the two were imminent. It was unlikely that any surprises would occur.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved.
