"Wait for my return." Wu Yu looked to the high platform where Luo Pin was.

"Go calmly. I'll wait for you." Luo Pin's voice always brought Wu Yu strength.

She had seen enough of the world before. The humiliation today would not shake her faith.

She simply felt bad that Wu Hao and the others had been bullied thus.

"Are you worried for him?" Ye Qianning asked.

"Not really. He's been through far more. He's always won." Luo Pin smiled.

"So young, it can't be easy." She rolled her eyes at Wu Hao. "Learn from the kids. They can hold their temper."

Wu Hao acknowledged this.

The Dragon Emperor's Purgatory began, and they watched on.

A huge yellow vortex appeared in the mirror at the Dragon Emperor's Supreme Battlefield, and all of the competitors sank in.

As all of the fighters sank in, the lens returned back to normal, then the Eye of the Dragon Emperor began to move.

Suddenly, reality was reflected on the mirror, and everyone could see the yellow fog of the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory.

Within the fog, one mystical dragon descended, then stabilized himself. It was the Tian Ming Dragon Lord, whom the Eye of the Dragon Emperor immediately focused on.

On the mirror, through this "holographic" projection, one could basically see everything that was happening around him.

And then the Giant Purgatory Pillar lit up. Names began to appear from top to bottom.

At this time, before the Dragon Emperor Immortal Designs changed, everyone was ranked according to their cultivation levels and estimated strength.

One could see that Tian Ming was at the top.

And then second from the bottom was Primordial Immortal Empire's Yu Manyuan. Even though he wasn't the bottom, Yu Manyuan knew that he was the weakest.

In last place was, without question, the only heavenly immortal, Wu Yu.

From the Immortal Lord Realm to a 9-Yuan heavenly immortal. This was the greatest disparity in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory ever.

And this ranking also made the crowd laugh. Every person's name was preceded by the empire that they came from.

For example, the first few dozen were a long line of Sky Will Empire, Sky Shadow Empire, and Sky Chariot Empire.

For example, for the Sky Chariot Empire, Tian Ming was first.

And at the end, there were two consecutive Primordial Immortal Empire names. A few dozen places up, another Primordial Immortal Empire name, Xing Ling.

A total of four, and three were in the bottom places. The Primordial Immortal Empire had indeed stuck out. Only Ye Xuanyi was a 5-Xuan immortal, with enough people below him that he did not stick out.

He was the Primordial Immortal Empire's only hope.

As for the Giant Purgatory Pillar outside, Wu Yu did not care about it. He was unaffected by external factors. After entering, his only concern was to search for that being who had spoken to him.

Dragon Emperor's Purgatory!

They were separated after entering. Wu Yu was currently alone, and there was no mystical dragon nearby.

The entire Dragon Emperor's Purgatory was shrouded in a murky, yellow fog, which had a putrid smell to it. The immortal qi here was quite faint as well, and it was a disgusting place.

In this murky, yellow fog, it was hard to see very far, and there seemed to be dust in the air as well.

He landed on the ground and saw that there were barren mountains everywhere. There were also dark canyons, so deep that one could not see the bottom. There were lakes with black water, and foul-smelling oceans filled with corpses. The stench was unbearable.

It was a land of death. Truly a purgatory.

However, it was seemingly boundless.

Wu Yu used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to shrink himself to the size of a thumb. He moved very quickly, and was too small compared to the massive mystical dragons. He was difficult to spot now.

He could also move easier like this.

He looked around him and said softly, "Senior, I am the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's heir, whom you mentioned. I am now in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. Where are you? Where do I go to find you? Can you give me some sign?"

He waited in silence for a reply.

If that person was urgently waiting for him, there should be an answer. Wu Yu was nervous about such a being.

"Senior?"

Regretfully, there was no answer for a long time.

This made Wu Yu a little perplexed. Why call him here and then not appear? Was he supposed to go look?

"I'm already here. What should I do next?" Wu Yu continued to speak to his surroundings. Since he did not know where the person was, he directed all of his comments to the air.

But after trying hundreds of times, later even moving around while he spoke, he still got no response.

What he instead heard was the sound of mystical dragons fighting the death row criminals.

"The criminals of the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory are all trapped in the Dragon Emperor's Prison. The Dragon Emperor's Prison is hidden. First, it has to be found. There, you can see the criminals' life history, cultivation level, and fighting power. You can then estimate the strength of your opponent's Purgatory Immortal Design. If you feel like you can handle it, you can use the Dragon Emperor Immortal Design to open the jail and fight the criminal."

"If you kill the criminal, you can obtain their Purgatory Immortal Design, which will strengthen your Dragon Emperor Immortal Design.

"If you are defeated by the criminal, then their Purgatory Immortal Design will grow stronger. They can also escape from the Dragon Emperor's Prison and hunt other contenders. They do not know what extent their Purgatory Immortal Design has to grow to, and so in order to leave this place, they will spend the year continuously searching out competitors to fight."

Many of the mystical dragons were probably looking for the Dragon Emperor's Prison now. It was indeed well-hidden, and very difficult to find. But Wu Yu was currently looking for the voice, and so he did not pay much attention.

Otherwise, his 100,000 doppelgangers would definitely be much more effective at searching compared to others.

The Unshackled Doppelganger was a terrifying Heaven Dao Mystique. Each doppelganger was like an extension of Wu Yu. They could move freely, and it was like he had 100,000 pairs of eyes searching high and low.

Of course, he currently did not care about the Dragon Emperor's Prison. Therefore, he did not send out his clones. It would call too much attention to him.

One day passed.

Wu Yu knew that just waiting for the person to reply was hopeless.

"I probably have to go search."

Therefore, he started on his journey. After all, he had a year's time, so he was not very worried. He did not reveal any of his trump cards either, just wandering around.

The Eyes of Fire and Gold scanned everywhere around him. Every place that he passed was swept over.

On the second day, Wu Yu found a Dragon Emperor's Prison in a deep cave.

Inside was a woman. She was a 7-Yuan ghostly immortal. The description said that she had killed mystical dragon children.

To the mystical dragon tribe, killing a child was a heinous offense, and this person had killed many of them. She had used their infant dragon corpses to cultivate some immortality art.

Truly a great sin. The mystical dragon tribe were also concerned about ethics. They would not put criminals that were not destined for death row here in the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory.

After all, this trial was also judgment for the criminals, although it offered them a chance at life.

Wu Yu did not touch her. He was not at all concerned about the Dragon Emperor Immortal Design. He was fully occupied otherwise - why had the person waiting for him in Dragon Emperor's Purgatory not appeared yet?

He continued to search.

Occasionally, he would stumble across a Dragon Emperor's Prison, but he could not be bothered to go in.

Although the other mystical dragons were searching frantically for prisons. There were still many Longevity Immortal Realm beings here that they could handle.

There were also many people looking for Wu Yu, all for that Genesis Mystical Pill. But finding Wu Yu was more difficult than finding Dragon Emperor's Prisons. Even if Wu Yu flew by right under their nose, they might not be able to see him.

Once, Wu Yu even saw the Tian Ming Dragon Lord. He seemed to be fighting a very strong mystical dragon. Wu Yu did not look closely, he just left immediately.

He was a little frustrated.

"Where could he be?"

After 10 days, he had searched many places, and even encountered a few Dragon Emperor's Prisons. But still there was no news.

After 20 days, Wu Yu had even met quite a few mystical dragon competitors. He had searched everywhere, and found nothing special.

He continued to search, and day after day passed. His patience began to wane, as he felt like he was being toyed with.

That person who knew that he was the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's heir. Where were they?

"Since I've come, I can't give up. Press on...."

He moved with more urgency, and his Eyes of Fire and Gold were also used more forcefully to scan deeper. After all, he still had time.

A month passed.

He was thinking while sitting on a boulder.

"I was asked to come in, but they did not reveal themselves to me. What's the meaning of this? Could it be that they are trapped somewhere, and could only speak to me once? Do I have to find them?

"Could they be a criminal in the Dragon Emperor's Prisons?

"But this is the first tier of the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. It will only hold those below the Immortal Lord Realm. How could someone below the Immortal Lord Realm know that I am the inheritor of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's legacy? And how could they send their voice out from the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory?"

Wu Yu could not understand it.

However, he did not despair. He resolved to continue searching. After all, there was still time.

As he stood up, he suddenly felt killing intent. He had been discovered.

After dodging the attack, he turned to see a middle-aged ghostly cultivator staring blankly at him. He mumbled, "A heavenly immortal can actually dodge my assassination?"

This ghostly cultivator was covered in blood. Evidently, he had been through many savage battles and had escaped. He had hidden, and probably was aiming to strengthen his own Purgatory Immortal Design with Wu Yu.

This was a 3-Xuan ghostly immortal, with three immortal dao marks. He was fairly strong, although slightly injured.

But he did not back down. With an ancient immortal treasure in his hand, he charged.

"Go to hell! Mystical dragon tribe!"

He still thought that Wu Yu was a mystical dragon, but in human form.

Coincidentally, Wu Yu was just feeling curious about how the Dragon Emperor Immortal Design was strengthened. Since this guy had delivered himself, Wu Yu would not hold back.

In just 10 breaths of time, Wu Yu had devoured him.

He had integrated his Purgatory Immortal Design into Wu Yu's own Dragon Emperor Immortal Design. As expected, the Dragon Emperor Immortal Design became more complex.

"Others are also working hard to strengthen their immortal designs," Wu Yu thought.

Suddenly, two mystical dragons appeared in front, and they saw that Wu Yu's Dragon Emperor Immortal Design had grown stronger.

"You! You stole our prey?" The two mystical dragons' eyes widened in anger as they glared at Wu Yu.
