Heaven’s Devourer Chapter 1399

"It's great that you understand. Are you heading to the Chakravarti-raja Star too?" They weren't far from the Chakravarti-raja Star.
Wu Yu nodded.
Mo Yuji was satisfied with Wu Yu's role as a disrupter and upsetter. She knew that the deeper the feud between the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Wu Yu, the better Wu Yu would be able to slow his progress and distract him. In that scenario, she had much to gain.
"May we meet again." After putting Lazy away, Wu Yu vanished from her sight.
When Wu Yu left, their group gathered together.
"Immortal, can this man be used? I have a nagging feeling that something isn't right," someone said.
"Why did you say so?"
"He even dared to kill the Howling Celestial Dog. That's an immortal beast and the descendant of the companion of the True Lord Erlang. Shouldn't he be afraid of what might happen to him after he gets out of this place?"
"This proves that he's fearless."
"What means does he have to avoid the vengeance of the Primeval Mighty Miracle God Tribe?"
"I don't know, but I'm curious too. The key is that we aren't related to him and don't stand on opposite ends. Whether he lives or dies and even everything else has nothing to do with us! As long as the Gu Huo Immortal Lord continues to hold a grudge against him, it will be fine," answered Mo Yuji.
"That's true. For the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, 10 Gu Qiang Immortal Lords and 10 Gu Di Immortal Lords wouldn't add up to the Howling Celestial Dog. Without having us to add fuel to fire, he would still be frenzied. In fact, getting revenge might even be more important than getting the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King for him now."
Mo Yuji remarked, "That's to be expected. A proud genius like him has never experienced shame like this."
They were right. The current Gu Huo Immortal Lord was no different from a maniac. He had never suffered a blow this massive.
However, the immortal emperors in the Sublime Gracious Sky couldn't see, and this included the Primeval Mighty Miracle God.
All they could see were the various battles that erupted at the entrance to the Astral Hell within this year.
The experts from the five tribes had laid a comprehensive network of immortal designs to stop those immortal lords who wanted to get a share.
Outside, more than 20,000 immortal lords had gathered, and this number was still growing fast. Some were from teams that were under other immortal emperors, while others were ordinary immortal lords who were dreaming of getting the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King or just trying their luck.
"I'll repeat myself again. The Astral Hell has many existences the equivalent of immortal kings. All of us are immortals, so we would stand out prominently after entering. Those without the strength equivalent to an immortal king will more than likely perish in there! There isn't any hope at all. I advise everyone to instead spend the remaining time in the Great Void Immortal Path. There are still lots of Marks of an Immortal King around that will enable one to become an immortal king. If you choose to enter the Astral Hell, only death awaits you!"

The Gu Yan Immortal Lord was going crazy. He had to repeat himself several times a day while still having to resist the attacks of those who weren't afraid of death. In fact, some who charged forward were just 6-realm immortal lords! This frustrated him greatly.
He initially thought he would have an easy job.
Fortunately, they were a motley crew with wavering minds. Up to this point, no one had entered. Even if someone did breach the immortal designs, he might not dare to enter. They were waiting to see if there would be others that would charge inside. If that was the case, they would like to jump into the crowd.
What they wanted might not be to enter, but the choice to be able to enter when they wanted to.
"This path was opened by our five tribes and has nothing to do with you guys. Even we don't dare to enter. If you guys enter it, it's no different from courting death! How terrifying is the Astral Hell? Haven't you guys heard about it? The ghostly immortals in it don't bat an eyelid when killing. Murder, robbery, and setting people ablaze are common occurrences. That place is different from the sky palaces. There isn't any order, and only killing and slaughter exist. If you enter hell, you will only be able to return after 20 years. Everyone, please think about this again! Make the best use of this remaining time to search for Marks of an Immortal King that truly suit you! Only those like the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and Immortal Mo are qualified to hold the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King! It will never belong to you guys!"
The truth was, most of them were just waiting to watch a show. If they were really allowed in, they might shudder on the spot.
From afar, the eternal phoenix tribe was present, but they felt helpless.
"The Gu Huo Immortal Lord has entered the place, and it seems he won't be helping us with the Howling Celestial Dog...."
"Where the hell are the Snow Region Immortal Lord and our princess? How could it be that we still haven't caught any news of them!?"
"What do you guys think will be our punishment when we get back?"
"Stop scaring yourselves and let's continue our search. We will definitely find her one day.... The Snow Region Immortal Lord definitely won't dare to do anything. That's the daughter of the Provenance Phoenix Empress. If he makes even a single misstep, he will be consigned to eternal damnation!"
"Let's get going."
They were here because they had noticed the huge crowd that gathered. They had since questioned every single one of them and had yet to get any information on the Snow Region Immortal Lord.
"Someone is attacking the immortal design." All of a sudden, a loud explosion erupted from the east.
"They are from the Zhao Immortal Tribe and are assisting Zhao Yuanchen to attack it."
The White Sun Immortal Lord sighed emotionally. "If the Princess were around, we would likely be attacking now to enter that place. But now...."

Finding the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was still the most pressing matter. Currently, they believed the Snow Region Immortal Lord hadn't entered the Astral Hell. If they were to charge into the Astral Hell now, no one would be rescuing the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord.
The attacks from the Zhao Immortal Tribe were relentless, and they were known for their ferocity. Although the five tribes had managed to stop the first wave of incessant attacks, Zhao Yuanchen still broke through with his outstanding individual abilities. Within the short time frame, no one was able to hold him back. A split second later, he had charged into the Astral Hell.
Seeing that someone had entered, the rest felt encouraged and the attacks became even more frenzied.
The situation was getting out of their control.
…….
The immortal emperors were joking by the side in the Sublime Gracious Divine Region while watching.
Li Qingtian said to Zhao Gongming, who was next to him, "Yuanchen is pretty good to get in so quickly. My child is still on his way."
"Brother Li, you are too humble. Once your child arrives, he will be able to get in just as easily."
Both of them joked and chatted.
Among the immortal emperors, only one looked disinterested, and that was the Provenance Phoenix Empress. She could see the eternal phoenix tribe, but she couldn't see her daughter among them.
The Ruling Sky Manifesting Sage Great Emperor also noticed the same and asked, "Provenance Phoenix Empress, why don't we see your little princess?"
The Provenance Phoenix Empress shook her head and turned to Marshal Tian You. After all, the entire Endless River of Stars was his territory. Marshal Tian You said, "I have no idea about it. Perhaps she's resting in an immortal treasure. She has a lot of members of the eternal phoenix tribe with her, and there aren't many who would mess with her. Provenance Phoenix Empress, you don't have to worry."
That was logical, as among the 100 million immortal lords that had entered, no one would really have the guts to offend the daughter of the Provenance Phoenix Empress.
This was also what the Provenance Phoenix Empress was thinking. However, she was still a little anxious after not seeing the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord for a period of time. It was just that it wasn't convenient for her to ask about the Endless River of Stars for now. After all, this was a fair and open contest. If she intervened, she would be seen as too petty.
With worry lingering in her mind, she wasn't pleased at all while watching.
........
Wu Yu could already see the largest Chakravarti-raja Star that was surrounded by other satellite stars.
This truly lived up to the name of being the core of the Astral Hell. It was several times the size of Mystical Resonance Immortal City, which Wu Yu couldn't even see the boundaries of previously.
Half of the star was black, while the other was white. Nonetheless, both sides looked deserted.
This was also the largest star that Wu Yu had ever seen.
And it was way larger than the Dreary Star. The immortal qi on it was dense too. Other than the immortal qi being a little gloomy and chilling, it was still a relatively great land to cultivate in.
However, some things had changed recently. From where he was, Wu Yu could see numerous cracks extending over the surface of the star like a shattered glass-sphere. When he got closer, he saw that the cracks were, in fact, deep trenches. Even now, the ground was still trembling and moving violently, causing acute earthquakes constantly. In fact, large amounts of lava rocks were being spewed out of those cracks as though the Chakravarti-raja Star was doused in a large basin of blood. When looking down from the night sky, the Chakravarti-raja Star resembled a head that was bleeding profusely.
From afar, Wu Yu could hear the explosions and howling of the volcano and the ground shaking and splitting. He could also see a large number of ghostly immortals leaving the star and heading towards other locations.
Wu Yu landed in this place in the appearance of a ghostly immortal. Many people were still evacuating, passing him in a hurry. Wu Yu pulled back one of them who was weaker than him and asked, "What happened to the Chakravarti-raja Star?"
That ghostly immortal shuddered and answered, "Who knows? No one has stepped forward to explain it yet! Regardless, the Chakravarti-raja Star is over in my view. Within 20 years or perhaps even less than 10 years, it will definitely explode into dust. Fortunately, I'm just here to cultivate and don't own any properties. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot more."
Although the star was changing, it wasn’t at a point where it could collapse at any moment. Some people had chosen to leave immediately, while others, especially those who had homes on the Chakravarti-raja Star and saw this as their base, wouldn't find it easy to leave. Therefore, they were still looking for a way to deal with the situation.
Wu Yu suspected this might have something to do with the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King. Therefore, he needed to investigate. Being able to use the identity of a ghostly immortal to enter the Chakravarti-raja Star would undoubtedly be a lot more convenient than the methods of the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the rest.
Therefore, he took an opposite direction from those escaping the place. When he moved deeper, he realized that the entire star was blazing in flames. It was especially so for the interior. The ground was full of cracks, and many ghostly immortal cities were split into halves, with their entrances becoming abysses full of boiling flaming lava....
