《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1697: Suicide out of Shame
Advertisement
As the third seal on Wu Yu's Ruyi Jingu Bang was unravelled, he finally found the way to contend against Li Tianji.
The Vajra Shield that was previously sealed away formed a golden spherical guard that had Wu Yu protected completely. As for Li Tianji, he constantly bombarded the Vajra Shield with terrifying powers of the four epochal immortal treasures.
9-Heavens Flaming Spear, God Restraining Band, Seven Stars Loop and Flaming Wheels of Two Realms... Under the control of Li Tianji, the might of the four epochal immortal treasures was constantly channelled onto the Vajra Shield, causing sounds of void space shattering. The golden glow of the Vajra Shield was constantly dispersed by the relentless bombardment.
Yet, Li Tianji still couldn't break the defense of Wu Yu's Vajra Shield!
No matter how powerful his attacks were and even with the four epochal immortal treasures firing stellar force and blazing force, he couldn't cause a dent to Wu Yu's Vajra Shield.
This left Li Tianji furrowing his brows. Since he was born, he had never encounter a situation like this.
"Could this Wu Yu be an ancient tortoise?"
Li Tianji thought to himself. He had just completed a round of relentless bombardment with his four epochal immortal treasures. The destructiveness would have killed a second tier immortal emperor several times over.
Yet, Wu Yu was still hiding within the Vajra Shield.
Wu Yu was equally shocked and impressed at how tough the defense of the Vajra Shield was. However, Wu Yu soon came to a conclusion. Even if Li Tianji had four epochal immortal treasures, the four epochal immortal treasures were the most ordinary epochal immortal treasures.
Now, Wu Yu was certain that the Ruyi Jingu Bang he obtained from the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was of the highest tier even among the epochal immortal treasures. In fact, it wouldn't be any inferior to other epochal immortal treasures of immortal emperors in the sky palaces.
This could be easily deduced by the Vajra Shield that was uncovered when the third seal was broken.
The four epochal immortal treasures of Li Tianji had great coordination, control and destructiveness. Yet, when facing the Vajra Shield, Li Tianji didn't have a solution at all.
When Li Tianji was done with the round of relentless bombardment, Wu Yu knew his chance to counterattack was finally here.
"Kill!"
Without hesitation, the light of Vajra Shield around him dissipated. Carrying his Ruyi Jingu Bang, he darted straight towards Li Tianji and smashed decisvely. This time, he used the same technique he used against Peach Cloud Fairy earlier.
A direct hit! Vertigo!
From within Ruyi Jingu Bang, a tyrannical and alarming strength surged forth and landed on Li Tianji. At that instant, it was as though his soul was forced out of the body as he stood rooted to the ground.
Just like how Peach Cloud Fairy was, Li Tianji was knocked into a state of confusion instantly.
"Bedlam of Heaven and Earth!"

While Li Tianji was affected by Vertigo, his four epochal immortal treasures also stopped. Only their stifling pressure lingered in the Giant Astral Prison but the pressure wouldn't affect Wu Yu at all.
And now, Wu Yu's Ruyi Jingu Bang was like a beam of golden ray that penetrated into the sky and earth before landing heavily on Li Tianji!
Destructive energy erupted in Li Tianji. At the most crucial juncture, the God Restraining Band and Seven Stars Loop returned to protect their master like a conditioned reflex. Therefore, they stopped the majority of the damage from Wu Yu's Bedlam of Heaven and Earth.
Nonetheless, Li Tianji was also knocked away by the immense strength and out of the field!
Along the path Li Tianji was sent flying, everything shattered and golden rays of light coalesced In the end, only Wu Yu stood proudly in the middle of the field.
As for those four epochal immortal treasure, they were swept out of the field together with Li Tianji.
This left the audience on the spectator stands completely silent.
No one had expected this outcome. Wu Yu was capable of defeating Li Tianji?
If it wasn't for the two epochal immortal treasure that help to soften the hit, Li Tianji would likely have died in the field. Even so, Li Tianji was severely injured by this strike and thew a huge mouthful of blood after recovering from the shock.
Li Tianji had it especially bad. When he lifted his head and saw himself was knocked out of the field and into the vicinity of the spectator stands, he could never believe this was the outcome.
How can this be?
He was defeated by Wu Yu, the brat?
This wasn't possible!
His eyes, which were filled with arrogance, were now filled with horror? How could he have possibly lost? He had never lost before! Moreover, he lost to Wu Yu, a brat that cultivated from being a mortal. This was... This was humiliating!
Li Tianji's face flushed red and couldn't accept the outcome.
"For this battle, Wu Yu wins! He advances to the finals!"
As Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor announced the result of the battle officially, the spectator stands burst into an uproar.
Wu Yu had won in the battle against Li Tianji! Li Tianji was in possession of four epochal immortal treasure and yet he was severely injured by Wu Yu in a single strike and swept out of the field!
Numerous immortal emperor couldn't believe it.
It was especially so for the immortal emperors who had brought their descendants to participate. Initially, they had assume this iteration of Immortal Emperor Trials would be decided between Yang Qiang and Li Tianji.
No one had expected Wu Yu to come out from nowhere, defeated Li Tianji and grab the spot for the finals from Li Tianji.
He was undoubtedly a dark horse!
Although Wu Yu was also the focus of this iteration of Immortal Emperor Trials, it was because of his identity and not because of his strength.

To this point, no one could believe Wu Yu had relied on his own strength and forcefully made his way into the finals of the Immortal Emperor Trials.
The upcoming final battle would be between Wu Yu and Yang Qiang.
Clearly, Li Tianji and the immortal emperor behind him, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, had the hardest time accepting the outcome.
When Limitless Confusion Immortal Emperor announced the outcome, Li Tianji was engulfed in shame and fury. He had never been defeated in the public. More importantly, the one who defeated him was Wu Yu, who he deemed insignificant. If he had lost to Yang Qiang, it wouldn't be an embarrasing matter.
Just before this battle, he ridiculed Wu Yu on multiple occasions and even thought of meddling with Wu Yu's woman, Luo Pin. These actions were all justified in Li Tianji's eyes. What qualifcations would Wu Yu, who cultivated from an insignificant mortal, had that enabled him to compete for a great beauty like Luo Pin?
However, the moment Wu Yu had defeated him, those words became jokes immediately.
The more arrogant he was previously, the more shameful he would be now!
He looked around and found almost the whole world was looking at him. Those gazes clearly showed some of them were in disbelief. However, there were more immortal emperor disciples of Patriarch Bodhi in the spectator stands. Their mocking gazes infuriated him to the extreme.
What tortured him the most was the expressions of Peach Cloud Fairy and Happy Fleece Fairy, who were supposed to be heads over heels over him. After Li Tianji was defeated, they were evidently disappointed in him. Although it was hard to accept, the outcome was clear and the two ladies found Li Tianji truly a little embarrassing.
They knew how arrogant Li Tianji was and how much he belittled Wu Yu!
Yet, he was defeated by Wu Yu. How could he ever get back from this?
"I......"
Li Tianji couldn't accept the fact that he had lost.
He saw the back view of Wu Yu as he walked off the field steadily, seemingly disregarding him completely. This infuriated him to the point where he almost threw out blood. Piling on to his humiliation were the judgemental gazes thrown towards him. He could no longer endure it.
"Ahhhh!"
Li Tianji had never felt as humiliated and was about to pierce the 9-Heavens Flaming Spear into his immortal spirit.
He couldn't endure the shame and had wanted to commit suicide so he wouldn't have to face the glaring gazes further.
Since young, he had cultivated for a very long time. He was always showered with gazes of envy and respect. Never once did he experience something like this and had became the butt of the joke after he lost!
"Stop!"
Without hesitation, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li seized the 9-Heavens Flaming Spear from Li Tianji and held him down so he could no longer attempt suicide.
Li Jing doted on his grandson, Li Tianji, dearly. How could he possibly watch him commit suicide?
The matter today was indeed humilation. However, he wouldn't allow his grandson to commit suicide over it. Otherwise, he would be the laughing stock of everyone when news of it got out.
Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing stood up and stared in the direction where Wu Yu was. He snorted but didn't say a word. Anyone could sense the hatred he was nursing towards Wu Yu.
In Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing's eyes, Wu Yu didn't know where he stand and even caused his dear grandson to commit suicide. His crime was
Before so many watchful eyes, even Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing wouldn't dare to act recklessly against Wu Yu. Nonetheless, the feud had been made. If he had a chance to target Wu Yu in the future, he probably wouldn't let Wu Yu off easily.
"Old Wu, did you see how that pagoda bearing old guy look at you before he left? He must be dying to devour you alive! Haha!" Full Moon of Nanshan noticed the expression on Pagoda Heavenly King right before he left and almost clapped in ecstasy.
When Wu Yu send Li Tianji flying out with a single strike, it was too satisfying and gratifying.
Whenever one recalled how arrogant Li Tianji had been behaving, this scene became even sweeter.
The key reason was still because the disciples of Patriarch Bodhi had zero good feeling towards Li Tianji. Who asked that brat to wreck havoc, went around capturing spiritual beasts and almost killed Memory Star Immortal Emperor just as he entered Mettle Sky?
Almost all disciples of Patriarch Bodhi saw Li Tianji as a foe.
And now, Wu Yu finally defeated the haughty Li Tianji and almost drove him to commit suicide out of shame. Raucous cheers erupted as they chanted, "Wu Yu! Wu Yu! Wu Yu......"
When Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing took Li Tianji away, the crowd behind burst into the wildest cheers. They were chanting Wu Yu's name and this infuriated him so badly that he almost spewed blood before leaving Mettle Sky gloomily.
Only Nezha from their family stayed behind, feeling out of place.
Li Jing could leave but he couldn't just follow. Otherwise, that would be disrespectful to Patriarch Bodhi. If news of this got out, other would feel the Li Family didn't have any sportsmanship.
Nonetheless, he still felt gloomy to hear the whole cheering for Wu Yu when he stayed behind.
After all, Li Tianji was his son. Even if he didn't pamper Li Tianji to the extent Li Jing did, he wouldn't like to see his son be harmed in any way.
Yet, Wu Yu defeated Li Tianji right before his eyes. Furthermore, his son almost committed suicide successfully out of humiliation. This left him extremely disgruntled.

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...

The Supernormal
In a world where fantasy has become everyday, one man stands against absurdity. The local Tower stomps through the streets. Any hedge could contain a witch. Walls regularly crumble, though none more often than the fourth. In the magical city of Blackpool, all ridiculousness is possible, and it takes everything for Jack Of All Trades to survive. Badly, at that. Perpetually late with his rent, he'll take up arms for any paying customer in order to fulfill his quest. His obstacles include polka-loving ghosts, card-game playing vampires, and the most vicious monsters of all: copyright lawyers. When he's joined by an arrogant magus and an insecure vampire, his life gets even more complicated, but no matter what kind of infuriating choose-your-own-adventure he finds himself on, one constant remains—his rent is due at the end of the month. On second thoughts, maybe he should stay in bed. The Supernormal isn't your average web-novel. It's an urban fantasy parody that saunters through a world full of the absurd, delighting in poking fun at popular media, widely-accepted ideas, and often itself. Story arcs only loosely connect through the characters, who are themselves slowly fleshed out as the story continues. Think of Discworld meets The Dresden Files meets Gintama. This novel won't be for everyone, but if it is for you, you're in for a hell of a ride.
