After Wu Yu decided, Xuanzang wasted no time. He was ready to go.
"Immortal Domain Bridge!"
Wu Yu opened the golden vortex with his Ruyi Jingu Bang.
This was an immortal domain gateway that linked Heavenly Domain and Heavenly Buddha's Domain.
This time, Xuanzang and Wu Yu went together.
They passed through to the sky palaces!
60,000 years ago, Xuanzang had brought Wu Yu over to Heavenly Buddha's Domain to cultivate in peace.
In these 60,000 years, besides occasionally returning to Eternal Emperor Tomb to devour eternal demon emperor corpses, he had not shown his face in Heavenly Domain.
This was but a brief moment for immortal emperors.
Wu Yu had just increased his immortal buddha realm to the sixth tier, and his immortal emperor realm to the seventh tier, and already 60,000 years had passed.
Of course, this was considered impossibly fast to the other immortal buddhas and immortal emperors.......
Back in the sky palaces, Wu Yu did not dawdle around.
After all, the last time Xuanzang had whisked him away out of Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor must have been furious.
If Wu Yu was caught here in the sky palaces again, they might be able to extricate, but hunting down Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would be much more difficult.
Therefore, Wu Yu and Xuanzang headed for 10,000 Levels of Hell immediately.
It was all too easy for Xuanzang to bring them to Hell.
He was only unable to move between the two immortal domains at will
At the 10,000 Levels of Hell, the two immediately headed for the deepest regions.
This was a mysterious level of Hell called Afterlife Hell!
In other parts of 10,000 Levels of Hell, there would be ghostly immortals everywhere, cultivating with gruesome methods. Screams of agony were common sounds in Hell.
Wu Yu had spent the final phase of the Great Void Immortal Path chasing the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King in Hell, and so was not too unfamiliar with it.
However, Afterlife Hell was spookily silent.
This level of Hell seemed to be completely devoid of life. There was black fog everywhere.
Xuanzang led Wu Yu deeper into Afterlife Hell.
Finally, looming ahead in the mist, Wu Yu saw a huge black buddha world!
The black buddha world blended seamlessly into the black mist, and was hard to spot.
The huge black buddha world was in a deep abyss below their feet.
Xuanzang walked to the edge of the precipice and called out. "Ksitigarbha, it is time to come home."
His words echoed all around Afterlife Hell.
The black buddha world in the abyss heard his words too, and began to stir.
An immortal buddha trueform the same size as Wu Yu and Xuanzang flew out.
He stared with angry eyes at the two of them. "Who are you? How have you come to Afterlife Hell?"
He asked warily. He seemed to have no idea who Xuanzang was.
However, Wu Yu felt this was normal. Since all the Heavenly Domain immortal emperors did not remember the past, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had probably suffered the effects of Forgetting Mantra as well.
However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes fell on Wu Yu, and there was alarm in them. "You, you're that Wu Yu?"
He recognized Wu Yu instead, having heard of the events at Heavenly Domain.
Wu Yu did not find this surprising either, given how many gigantic ruckuses he had kicked up.
Killing an immortal emperor before the Immortal Emperor Trials, and being sentenced to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. And then he had stolen the Ruyi Jingu Bang back from Taiyi Zhenren, and had been summoned to Lingxiao Palace, eventually ending up as the Jade Emperor's disciple.
Perhaps before Wu Yu became the Jade Emperor's disciple, many immortal emperors would not have heard of him yet.
But now there was no one who did not know the name of the ultimate ruler's first disciple.
Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Wu Yu!
He was a super genius that everyone celebrated and envied.
But those good times were not to last. The brazen Wu Yu had beaten all of the immortality peaches while guarding the Peach Garden, and then had become even bolder than ever. He had even beaten the 100,000 celestial generals and soldiers and smacked Grand Supreme Elderly Lord!
Whether in Heaven or Hell, everyone now knew Wu Yu's name.
And since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had recognized Wu Yu, then he could guess Xuanzang's identity as well.
"You are the other terrifying expert that the Jade Emperor spoke of?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stared at Xuanzang. "Are you from beyond the immortal domain? What do you intend to do with our Heavenly Domain!"
Xuanzang sighed heavily, seeing him like this. "Wu Yu, it seems like he does not remember the past. Still, he betrayed us to the Jade Emperor, joining forces with them. That much is indisputable. Wu Yu, why not try your hand first? Test out your own strength as well."
"Alright."
Wu Yu nodded.
He no longer bore any goodwill towards the Jade Emperor or the rest of the sky palaces.
All this while, he had felt there was something off about the sky palaces. Many of the immortal emperors might appear benign, but they were actually vicious and cruel. Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, for example.
Wu Yu was still angry that Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had put on a friendly face, but secretly tried to refine him into immortal medicine!
He understood their true selves more now, after that time at Lingxiao Palace.
He held no reservations against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"You participated in the destruction of Heavenly Buddha's Domain, you joined forces with the Jade Emperor to attack Heavenly Buddha's Domain. In that case, it's only just you sacrifice yourself to restore the Immortal Buddha World Core!"
A glimmer of awareness, a mere thought, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang was in his hand.
He could feel that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was strong, perhaps stronger than any he had met before. He might well be outmatched this time.
He was an extremely powerful being, perhaps only second to Xuanzang and the Jade Emperor!
In any case, Wu Yu had to find out for himself where the limits of his power were.
