Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1265: Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm

What comforted Wu Yu was that Ao Yang's memories revealed that Luo Pin was not in a bad place.

Therefore, he did not need to be too worried for now.

He should worry about himself instead.

His Water Aspect Realm and Mortal Bodhi Realm were already at their limits. He had devoured too much, and the power from a Xuan immortal mystical dragon felt like too much even for his black buddhas, which felt like they were about to burst.

His body was completely different from the Heaven Devouring Avatar before. Previously, it had no limit, but he might’ve lost his rationality.

Now it was perfected, but it needed to be controlled.

So much power, and no way to release it. Therefore, the one solution that came to Wu Yu was to increase his cultivation level until he could hold this power.

"Heaven always leaves a way!" After digesting the memories of the two brothers, Wu Yu knew that there were two things amongst Ao Yang and Ao Ding's possessions that would help him!

There was a precious artifact in Ao Ding's Sumeru Pouch that had 99 spiritual marks. It was called the Golden Stone of Heavenly Energy. It was a material that could be used to forge high-grade immortal treasures, and it was a decent sized chunk.

In Ao Yang's Sumeru Pouch was an immortal essence named the Jade-Core Immortal Tree. It had 87 spiritual marks. Although it was not as powerful, it was enough to form the Wood Aspect Realm!

These were all materials that Wu Yu could use to increase his cultivation level.

"I'm really lucky!" If not for these materials, he would be in trouble. Much of the devoured energy would have nowhere to go.

Of course, for these two people, these two treasures were great, but they were not all of their riches. Wu Yu had also obtained many true immortal medicines, immortal talismans, immortal essences, precious artifacts, and immortal kernels.

He also obtained some belongings of the mystical dragon tribe, such as plaques of authority and proofs of identity.

He submerged himself in the lake and swallowed the Golden Stone of Heavenly Energy, using his buddha energy to break it down!

This was a material used to forge immortal treasures!

If not for the formidable power of the Nine Aspects of the Venerable Buddha, he would not have been able to break down the Golden Stone of Heavenly Energy and dispersed it to every particle in his body.

Weng!

With his mighty strength, he crushed the Golden Stone of Heavenly Energy into powder.

Of course, it almost burst Wu Yu's stomach apart.

The Golden Stone of Heavenly Energy shattered, entering each particle.

Wu Yu successfully began building the Metal Aspect Realm!

With the power of the Water Aspect Realm, and having pre-studied the scripture, it was much easier to execute. After about a day, he had already built his Metal Aspect Realm.

Much of the devoured energy was poured into the Metal Aspect Realm, forming Wu Yu's third type of buddha energy, the metal aspect buddha energy.

But there was still much strength leftover from Ao Ding's essence.

"Strike while the iron's hot."

Wu Yu began to use the Jade-Core Immortal Tree to build his Wood Aspect Realm. The Jade-Core Immortal Tree was an immortal essence, and originally meant to be consumed. Therefore, it was much easier to break down, and entered his body easily.

However, building the Wood Aspect Realm with the Jade-Core Immortal Tree was a little tricky. Before, he had built worlds of fire, water, and metal. Now he was supposed to build a forest world within his body. That was a little more complicated.

Therefore, this process took Wu Yu a little more time.

But after three days, he had finished, and now he had added the wood aspect Vajra buddha energy in him.

Finally, Ao Ding's energy was completely converted.

Although this process of devouring was more complicated than before, it was also more complete and stable. The real body could also benefit from the devouring.

Before, the real body could only cultivate by itself, while the Heaven Devouring Avatar could only improve after the real body improved.

Now he could use devouring to supplement his improvement, especially when he devoured dao!

"In my Sea of Knowledge, my immortal spirit has calmed down in these four days. It is still in the form of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast, but with the Ruyi Jingu Bang suppressing it, it will probably change back to my real body's appearance gradually. At that time, I will be completely myself and can continue to devour."

The Ruyi Jingu Bang had played a great part in making his body what it was.

Right now, his buddha energy and immortal energy were more or less balanced. He was a complete 4-Yuan heavenly immortal. But actually, both his buddha energy and immortal energy were much stronger than a 4-Yuan heavenly immortal's. They might even be equal to a 8-Yuan heavenly immortal's when added up. A frightening prospect. After all, this was the finest of Longevity Immortal Arts.

He reached a stable level of power, higher than he had ever been before.

"Where is Big Sister Luo Pin?" Ye Xixi asked, seeing that Wu Yu was no longer anxious.

Wu Yu said, "Now I know that the Dragon Immortal Sky is not all of the mystical dragons' territory. Think about it. The legendary mystical dragon immortal beasts are a great race in the sky palaces. How can they only be limited to the Dragon Immortal Sky? After all, Golden Fate Dragon City is the core of the Dragon Immortal Sky. The strongest being here, the Golden Fate Dragon King, might only be equivalent to the Green Lotus Immortal King."

"Is there another place?"

Wu Yu nodded. "There is a Demon Immortal Realm-like place. However, it is attached to the 8,000 Sky Palaces, almost as if the tower of the 8,000 Sky Palaces has a waist pouch attached. Of course, it might seem like a small waist pouch, but it is actually very huge. That is the true base camp of the mystical dragon immortal beasts. The Dragon Immortal Sky is but a window for them. That place is called the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm."

"Big Sister Luo Pin is at Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm?"

Wu Yu said, "That's right. Because her bloodline is the best - a rare Primordial Immortal Dragon belonging to the Ultimate Mystical Dragon type - she will be brought to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm immediately upon ascending. Ordinary mystical dragons that ascend can only live at the Dragon Immortal Sky."

Wu Yu carefully sifted through Ao Yang's memories. "Because she is a Primordial Immortal Dragon, she should’ve been taken to the Sky Heart Tribe for nurturing."

"Are you going to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm to find her?" the Full Moon of Nanshan asked.

Wu Yu nodded. "Of course I'm going. I vowed to her to meet her no matter what. She has gone to the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, and might not come out for tens of thousands of years. I have to go in to see her. At least I have to let her know that I have succeeded in taking revenge, and am alive."

This was extremely important to Wu Yu. Besides growing stronger, this was his greatest goal. He wanted to be with Luo Pin, no matter where she was.

"Big Brother Yu, are there many mystical dragon experts in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm? Will they allow an immortal like you to go into their territory?" Ye Xixi asked.

They did not understand the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm well, but they wanted to confirm this out of concern for Wu Yu's safety.

Wu Yu carefully combed the memories and visualized a complete image of Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.

He thought about it. "The Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm has a long history, almost as long as the Heavenly Domain itself. They have been creating their heritage in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm for countless years and then later branched out to have descendants all throughout the 3,000 Greater Realms and 90,000 Lesser Realms. And then, when the mortal dragons ascended, they would return to the sky palaces and be the strength of the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. The mystical dragon immortal beasts of the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm are divided into nine tribes, and their numbers are immense. Of course, this is nothing compared to all the immortals of the 8,000 Sky Palaces, but amongst the immortal beast tribes, they are considered to be flourishing the best.

"The nine tribes are: Seeping Wind Tribe, Burning Life Tribe, Abyssal Sea Tribe, Stormy Tempest Tribe, Golden Luster Tribe, Wooden Tendrils Tribe, Deep Soil Tribe, Shackled God Tribe, Sky Heart Tribe. Amongst them, the Sky Heart Tribe is the greatest!

"The mystical dragon immortal beasts have a being called the Dragon Ancestor, who rules the mystical dragons. This Dragon Ancestor has not appeared in hundreds of thousands of years, as if he has disappeared. The nine great tribes are basically ruled by the Nine Great Dragon Emperors. Each dragon emperor rules a tribe!"

Ye Xixi asked, "How strong are these Nine Great Dragon Emperors? Are they the fabled elite immortals that the Ancient Emperor spoke of? The strongest in the Heavenly Domain?"

The Full Moon of Nanshan was also curious about this question. They wanted to know the ceiling here in the sky palaces. Right now, all they knew were the Longevity Immortal Realm, the Nine Xuan Dao Realm, the Immortal Lord Realm, and the Great Void Immortal Realm.

"They’re rumored to be above the immortal kings at the Great Void Immortal Realm. One passes the barrier of eternity, gains heavenly dao, and comes into eternal life. Perhaps the Jade Emperor and the Nine Great Dragon Emperors are beings like that! Those beings are called Eternal Immortal Emperors, and each one has their own title. Those are the elite immortals, and perhaps the rulers of the Heavenly Domain!"

That sort of cultivation level, where one would never die, sounded very appealing to Wu Yu!

From longevity to eternal life.

The 8,000 Sky Palaces were too huge, and drew one irresistibly to aim higher to see what was in the Spirit of Heaven Jeweled Hall, to stand at the highest of sky palaces, and look down on all of Heavenly Domain.

Wu Yu was especially eager.

"Perhaps the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, was one of those elite immortals. An Eternal Immortal Emperor!"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would he be so powerful? He definitely can't be just an immortal king. I reckon that Marshal Tian Peng was also at least an immortal king."

"Then was my Curtain Lifting General also an immortal king and above? After all, he seems to have been by the Jade Emperor's side. Hmm, why would a ghostly cultivator remain by the Jade Emperor's side?"

As for these mysteries, they had no answer, and were far away from the realm where they could find out.

"Best not to speak of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Marshal Tian Peng, or the Curtain Lifting General to others. After all, if even immortals like them can die, who knows who could have killed them.... If it leaks out beforehand, we could all get in trouble."

"Doesn't this mean that we can't use their secret arts?" the Full Moon of Nanshan mused.

"Not necessarily. After all, the Great Sage must have considered all of this, but still imparted his legacy to us to use. He must have a plan."

"Alright, let's wait and see, then. See if the three of them have any lingering wishes! If they want us to take revenge, the three of us will not turn them down either."

Wu Yu naturally felt the same way.

The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was the parent of his rebirth.
