《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1325: Four Heavenly Kings
Advertisement
This was a coincidence.
Lazy had just discovered another All Amalgamating Cat, and the immortal owner did not seem to know what it was capable of.
He had thought that he could casually buy it with what funds he had. He was already preparing to finish the deal.
Ye Xixi was very happy, and Lazy even more elated. It was finally going to have a companion. Lazy was a large white cat, sleek and big. However, the All Amalgamating Cat in this shop was a small black cat. It was slightly younger than Lazy.
But suddenly, a spanner had been thrown into the works. Besides, her words clearly belied the fact that she knew what an All Amalgamating Cat was, and very well at that.
The voice from behind was cold and regal, yet also very alluring. Within the voice, there was a compelling charm.
Wu Yu had never heard such a mesmerizing voice before. It was enough to dazzle most immortals to distraction, their emotions running wild.
He turned back quickly, and was himself mesmerized by the one speaking.
She was an elite immortal of the sky palaces, an air of mystery and elegance hanging about her. She was someone of a high bloodline, although Wu Yu had never seen her before in the sky palaces.
The woman was wearing a black skirt, and her incredible body was shown off to the fullest. There was an unspeakably seductive quality about her. Her black hair was tied up with a pink hairband, and her skin flushed a pale pink. She took one's breath away, and could even take one's soul away. Her lips were dainty as cherries, and drew one irresistibly in.
In the mortal domain, beauties were described as being able to bring nations to ruin. As for this beauty, she could send the entire 8,000 Sky Palaces into riot. Immortals would fall for her left and right.
Being so close to her, Wu Yu was naturally taken aback, his heart leaping wildly.
The only blemish in her perfection was that this girl did not laugh or smile. Her eyes were emotionless, even lifeless. She had an air of superiority about her, as if she was accustomed to a high status here. She exuded authority that was honed over countless years.
Of course, this was also why others feared and respected her. That icy manner was both dreadful and attractive.
When she walked in and saw the All Amalgamating Cat, the owner in front of Wu Yu hastily bowed to her. "This humble immortal greets Immortal Mo. Anything that Immortal Mo requires, this humble immortal will fetch. This humble immortal dares not accept the riches of Immortal Mo. Take it as this puny immortal's gift to the great one."
Seeing this shop keeper so excited and flustered, this All Amalgamating Cat snatcher seemed to be someone important. It was frustrating for Wu Yu.

He could see how much Xixi and Lazy wanted this little black cat. Both the girl and the cat were looking absolutely heartbroken. After all, they had been so close.
Immortal Mo did not speak, but instead walked towards Wu Yu. The All Amalgamating Cat was right in front of Wu Yu, who was in her way. She shot him a look, and said sharply, "Move."
Wu Yu was not happy about this. No matter how pretty she was, this was not right. He was just about to give her a piece of her mind, but he glanced out and saw that all of the middle-aged companions of Immortal Mo were at Immortal King level! No one even dared to come close. Wu Yu had been in Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm for a while, and knew how scary this bunch were.
Evidently, they were Immortal Mo's bodyguards, which meant that Immortal Mo was at least an 8-realm immortal lord. She was far above Wu Yu, and definitely the child of some elite immortal. She was not to be crossed.
This situation was a forgone conclusion, and there was no point pushing it. Here in the sky palaces, he knew when to keep his head down. He gave way, but his eyes showed no subservience.
However, as he gave way, Immortal Mo no longer looked at him. She snatched up the All Amalgamating Cat with some excitement. It was still quite desperate, trying to claw its way out of her grasp.
"I do not accept your gift." Taking the All Amalgamating Cat with her, Immortal Mo threw down more than 50 Genesis Mystical Pills and turned at her slim waist, walking out of the Spirit of the Universe shop. The Immortal Kings outside gathered around to offer congratulations.
Wu Yu had obviously chosen the item already, and she had snatched it away from him. And yet she had not even given him a second glance. Wu Yu was extremely unhappy, even though she was a great beauty.
"She was really beautiful. But she made our little girl cry. If there's a chance next time, I will definitely severely punish that little girl!" the Full Moon of Nanshan fumed.
Indeed, Ye Xixi was agitated to the point of tears from seeing the All Amalgamating Cat disappear before her eyes. She had really wanted to find a companion for Lazy. Lazy was heartbroken as well, looking outside forlornly and meowing pitifully.
The little black cat also knew about Lazy, and was craning its head out of Immortal Mo's grasp, mewling adorably but pitifully in their direction.
"If only we had been a bit earlier, she wouldn't have been able to snatch it...." Ye Xixi said tearfully.
She was indeed miserable.
Wu Yu took a deep breath. "If that person is here, they must be participating in the Great Void Immortal Path. Perhaps we will meet her again. At that time, I'll see if I'm able to get your little cat back."

"Big Brother Yu, you better not. That person has Immortal Kings protecting her. She's definitely not someone that we can cross. Big Sister Luo Pin is still awaiting your return. Let's not get into trouble," Ye Xixi said.
"Don't worry. We'll see when the time comes."
Behind him, the owner happily put away the Genesis Mystical Pills. Wu Yu also walked out of the shop. Many people were watching the Immortal Mo, surrounded by her Immortal Kings. They were whispering in hushed voices.
Wu Yu heard that this Immortal Mo was called Mo Yuji. She seemed like an important person, and would enter the Great Void Immortal Path to fight for a Mark of an Immortal King. She seemed to have been a 9-realm immortal lord for a while now, and was suspected to be the strongest amongst the 100 million who held Immortal King Tokens.
Mo Yuji had a solid background. Wu Yu was just trying to find out what exactly it was, when suddenly a bright beam of light flashed down from the clouds. Many immortals appeared, and all of them were noteworthy Immortal Kings. They had someone in their center, and that was a fairly terrifying immortal. He eclipsed all of them in power. Everyone fell to their knees involuntarily!
Wu Yu could vaguely see that this immortal was green all over, and he had purple hair. He looked angry. He wore red clothes and held a black instrument in his hand. It was a pipa!
At this time, probably half of Benevolent Immortal City, including many immortal lords and Immortal Kings, were on their knees. They called out loudly, "Our greetings to the Dhrtarastra, it is a great honor."
"Dhrtarastra?" Wu Yu racked his brains, rifling through the memories of the criminals that he had devoured in the Dragon Emperor's Prisons. He had seen much and had a decent understanding of the sky palaces. The name Dhrtarastra sounded very familiar. He considered it carefully, and suddenly was so frightened that he was rendered speechless.
"This Dhrtarastra is one of the four Heavenly Kings! He guards the Jade Emperor's Spirit of Heaven Jeweled Hall! The east is the Dhrtarastra, and the south is the Virudhaka! In the west is the Virupaksa! In the north is the Vaisravana!” [1]
They were definitely right at the heart of the Jade Emperor's regard! In terms of status, they had to be close to Marshal Tian You! He was someone who was very close to the Jade Emperor!
To think that one of the Spirit of Heaven Jeweled Hall's Four Heavenly Kings would actually appear here at the Sublime Gracious Sky! The Dhrtarastra was a legend, and definitely one of the great immortals that Wu Yu was enamored with. He had to be one of the strongest beings in the entirety of the Heavenly Domain!
Wu Yu had not expected someone of his cultivation level to be able to see the peak of the Heavenly Domain.
Wu Yu guessed that the Nine Great Dragon Emperors might not even be able to match the Dhrtarastra's power. After all, he was a heavenly king.
Dhrtarastra's name was Mo Lihai.
From the surname, Wu Yu suddenly recalled that the immortal from before was called Mo Yuji. Could she be related to the Dhrtarastra?
As expected, only Mo Yuji did not kneel when the Dhrtarastra appeared. She said, "Father, why are you here?"
The Dhrtarastra said solemnly, "The Primeval Mighty Miracle God's son is also joining the contest for a Mark of an Immortal King. He invited me to receive his hospitality. You'll come with me."
"That guy? I'm not going," Mo Yuji said.
"Nonsense." Dhrtarastra curled a hand, and Mo Yuji vanished before their eyes, probably taken away by the Dhrtarastra. The bodyguard Immortal Kings also joined the Dhrtarastra's party and streaked off towards the east, disappearing in a flash.
Only then did the suffocating aura over Benevolent Immortal City vanish, and they felt like they could finally breathe again.
"Who is this Dhrtarastra? He seems really powerful," the Full Moon of Nanshan asked.
Wu Yu told them.
The Full Moon of Nanshan's face changed. "So he's the general of the armies that guard the emperor of all the sky palaces? No wonder he's so strong. Little girl, best lay your hopes to rest. That beauty is the daughter of one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Snatching something from her is suicidal."
Ye Xixi retorted, "Weren't you just saying you were going to punish her?"
"Haha, did I say that? Haha...." the Full Moon of Nanshan cackled.
Wu Yu was deep in thought. This Mark of an Immortal King fight would be much harder than he had imagined. Elite immortals had come from all over to contest, even the likes of a Four Heavenly King's daughter. There were many experts of that caliber.
No wonder the Sublime Gracious Sky was such a bustling place.
"Well, first come first served stands everywhere, no matter her status."
Wu Yu saw that Ye Xixi was still forlorn, and he made a mental note of this. He was very confident in himself. On the Great Void Immortal Path, one would depend on oneself. Perhaps he could win back the little black cat?
"Meow!" Lazy was still teary.
1. Dhrtarastra, he who upholds the realm. Virudhaka, he who causes growth. Virupaksa, he who sees all. Vaisravana, he who hears everything.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
