Heaven's Devourer Chapter 1341: Endless River of Stars

In this star with half the area of the Yan Huang Ancient Region, the nine Ancient Ink Camp members spread apart, each person in charge of one region. 100 years was a short time, so they had to hustle.

"Are the places with Marks of an Immortal King special?" Wu Yu asked.

"No idea. But if you see something out of place, attack it with all you got. It's said that the Marks of an Immortal King are concealed in many strange and ingenious ways. There is no fixed formula. Whether you can activate it or not sometimes depends on luck as well. Basically, nothing is certain. Everything depends on your luck."

Wu Yu chuckled dryly. But he too understood that if there was a fixed method, it would have been leaked out long ago, and finding the Marks of an Immortal King would only grow easier and easier.

"Everyone, don't forget that I still have that mystique."

Although they had each divided up the area equally, Wu Yu noted the absence of other immortal lords and therefore used his Unshackled Doppelganger mystique. Instantly, his 100,000 doppelgangers stood ready and scattered in all directions across the star, on Wu Yu's command.

"This mystique is a miracle! With this mystique, we might actually be able to find a Mark of an Immortal King!" Qin Chuan marveled at the many Wu Yus.

"Haha, I won big the day I decided to bring you in! With your mystique, we might even be able to get Marks of an Immortal King!" Xu Zidong laughed happily.

Wu Yu was truly of great use to them.

Seeing Wu Yu's mystique, all of them broke into smiles.

"These clones of mine are not as adroit as all of you. They might miss things, and the harsh environment on this star means that the immortal bodies of the clones have their movement impeded."

The utility of the 100,000 doppelgangers was not that great. Therefore, it was also important that the Ancient Ink Camp people searched as well.

"No matter what, they are still of help. Wu Yu, many thanks," Ye Yi said.

"Brothers and sisters, please do not stand on ceremony. If not for you all, I would not even be able to enter this place. There is no time like the present. Let us search."

"Yes!"

Marks of an Immortal King were indeed very difficult to find.

And the star was only this big.

A search, especially a meticulous one, would eat up a lot of time.

Besides, even if a Mark of an Immortal King was here, they might not be able to detect it.

The key was that of the millions of stars, only 50,000 had Marks of an Immortal King. They might search for 100 years without finding a single one.

Not just them, but this was a likely situation for many as well. They would have done all that work for nothing and then would have to wait for 5,000 more years.

Fight all over again for an Immortal King Token and then come in here for another futile search.

Therefore, in this largely rewardless search, it was important to adjust one's expectations.

When everyone joined hands, their chances of finding something also increased. Wu Yu was definitely prepared to work with them.

He also wanted to win a Mark of an Immortal King for Xu Zidong.

Everyone dispersed, and Wu Yu's 100,000 doppelgangers covered the entire star. Of course, 100,000 doppelgangers was not a large number for a star this big. Each star could hold all 100 million immortal lords.

His real body also searched everywhere, his Eyes of Fire and Gold scanning the land for the "special places" that Xu Zidong had spoken of.

Sky was sky and earth was earth. What made a place special?

This sort of search was definitely tedious.

Luckily, with 100,000 doppelgangers searching high and low, his efficiency increased greatly. He was just worried that the clones would not be able to recognize the uniqueness of a Mark of an Immortal King.

Once they missed it, it would be wasted effort.

"Seems like I still need to work on the Unshackled Doppelganger. If I had 1 million clones, I would have 10 times the efficiency. This is the Endless River of Stars, not the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. It's exponentially bigger."

Before, Wu Yu felt that 100,000 doppelgangers was enough, and had not developed it further. He had turned his attention to the Eyes of Fire and Gold and Somersault Cloud. And now it seemed that the Endless River of Stars had shown him the importance of the doppelgangers anew.

Time pa.s.sed, day by day.

Wu Yu used his 100,000 doppelgangers and Immortal Message Talismans, occasionally meeting with the other eight. For now, there were no discoveries.

They could find Wu Yu's clones at any time.

In the blink of an eye, half a month pa.s.sed, and Wu Yu felt that they had more or less covered this star completely. His clones had walked about every part of the land and not found anything.

"We might have to search 3,000 stars before we find a single Mark of an Immortal King. And we might even miss it. How disheartening...."

Even Wu Yu was taken aback by the scale of the problem. If he spent the time on cultivation, he would improve much faster.

But the Mark of an Immortal King was essential.

Just as the listlessness began to take him, an Immortal Message Talisman suddenly came from Qin Chuan. They all hurried over to his location.

They also had Wu Yu hide the 100,000 doppelgangers so they would not call attention to themselves.

Wu Yu was surprised. "If they ask me to remain low-profile, does this mean they found something?"

He hastily complied and then flew speedily towards Qin Chuan. His clones knew Qin Chuan's location, and so he was the first to arrive. He had not been far anyway.

He came to a flat piece of land, a rarity on the uneven terrain of this star. It was very wide, and such flat ground could even hold a castle.

Wu Yu recalled that his clones had come here before and searched for a long time without finding anything.

When Wu Yu arrived, Xu Zidong did as well, and the others filtered in later. Qin Chuan looked rather excited. When most of them were gathered, he said, "This star is full of high mountains and deep crevices, and it's so rare to see a piece of flat land like this. I observed it for a long while, and I'm sure that it's one of the special places you mentioned."

Xu Zidong frowned. "How?"

"I don't have a clue." Qin Chuan wrung his hands.

They looked a little disappointed. So it was just a guess in the dark. Jin Kaiwen scratched his head. "Marks of an Immortal King are very rare. The odds are against us finding anything on the first star we land on. I feel like it's nothing special. How about going to another star?"

"I feel that the others are all trying their luck and changing stars repeatedly. They're probably not searching with much care. After all, there are only 100 years; it's not enough at all," Wu Xiao said.

Wu Yu thought about it. "Let's not be hasty. After all, I think we still trust in our own instincts. Since Second Brother Qin says that there's something special about this place, and we don't know what special means anyway, how about we all try attacking together? Trying won't kill us."

Xu Zidong smiled. "Wu Yu's right. If we see anything that strikes us as different, we should just strike at it. Although it may be unlikely, perhaps in the next few thousand times, one of them will succeed?"

Since it was no loss to them, it was just an exertion.

"Sure."

They all flew up together, pulling out their destinable immortal treasures.

Xu Zidong said, "The Great Void Immortal Path is too vast. After searching for so long, we're all losing our minds! Forget 100 years later, let's vent it all out now. d.a.m.ned Marks of an Immortal King! F*ck!"

At his command, all of their destinable immortal treasures sprang into action. The Towering Sky Immortal City, the Mountains and Rivers Sword, the Nine Regional Soul Piercer - all of their immortal designs activated simultaneously. Wu Yu's own Floating Dreams Sword also used the Great Fissure Qian Kun Design. All together, their combined power smote the flat ground!

BOOM! RUMBLE!

The fearsome power seemed to shake the entire star, and dust filled the air. Even the air itself was torn apart, and one could see that a huge crater had been blasted into the float ground. The platform gleamed, and no sign of a Mark of an Immortal King was to be seen.

They laughed dryly, and Xu Zidong said, "As expected, we aren't that lucky. This star is a disappointment. Let's go somewhere else."

Since they had come up empty-handed, they were disappointed in this star. Therefore, they turned to the sky full of stars above them and followed Xu Zidong's lead. He said, "That star is brighter. Let's go there, maybe we'll find something."

"Alright, let's go."

They flew up, charging out of the star's field, flying up into the galaxy.

Suddenly, a beam of light came from behind them. It seemed to illuminate the void itself, and they turned back in shock.

Beneath their feet, a beam of light shot out from the star, swallowing them all. This beam of light continued to project outwards, like a bridge of light. It was blinding!

"This is...."

"F*ck me sideways, let's go back down!" A wild joy filled Xu Zidong's face, and he led the way back down.

Wu Yu's Eyes of Fire and Gold could vaguely make out the point of origin of this light column. It was the flat piece of land, and it seemed like a huge immortal city had appeared, which was producing the light.

"Something's happening. The Mark of an Immortal King must be within that immortal city. Go, go, go!" Qin Chuan whooped.

"Impossible!"

No one could have dreamed that the first star they searched would actually have a Mark of an Immortal King!

Ordinarily, there was only one Mark of an Immortal King every few thousand stars.

Therefore, it was hard to take in the appearance of this immortal city.

And coincidentally, their violent tactic had been the exact trigger needed to unlock the mechanism of this specific Mark of an Immortal King and make the immortal city appear!

Of course, this immortal city would definitely have its trials. Therefore, it was a little early to say that they had acquired a Mark of an Immortal King.

However, a chance was a fine thing. Wu Yu was a little surprised, but he followed them down. As they neared the immortal city, they saw that it was a dazzling gem of luxury, and also filled with many immortal designs. As they neared, Xu Zidong and the others saw that there were people in the immortal city!

There were about a dozen immortal lords, clad in white, immortal armor.

"We, the Endless Immortal Army, guard the Mark of an Immortal King with our lives! Puny ones, go away!"

As expected, Marshal Tian You's Endless Immortal Army was guarding the place. This was the greatest obstacle between Wu Yu's group and the Mark of an Immortal King.

However, the chance was right before their eyes. No one would give up now!

If they could gain a Mark of an Immortal King here, they could just hide for the next 100 years!

It was highly likely that this was the first Mark of an Immortal King to appear in the entire Endless River of Stars!

This luck was G.o.dlike.

But Wu Yu could see clearly that these dozen Endless Immortal Army soldiers would not be easy to deal with.
