Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Thunderclaps in the Ninth Heaven, the Immeasurable Catastrophe Unfolds (Third Update!)

“Help him? I would like to, but both of us are only at the Half-Step Saint Realm and have not yet Proved the Tao and Become a Saint. Against Tathagata Buddha, we’re probably not his match, right? Not to mention there’s Primordial Heavenly Venerable watching us like a tiger eyeing its prey!”

As soon as he heard this, Nether River Ancestor shook his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but Sun Wukong’s strength wasn’t much weaker than theirs. If even Sun Wukong couldn’t handle it himself, then even if they rushed to the Heaven Realm, they probably wouldn’t be able to help much.

“Of course we’re not going now. I’m talking about after the start of the Third Infinite Calamity! Right now, that kid Wukong can still cope, but once the Third Infinite Calamity begins, he won’t be a match for Buddha anymore. That’s when we’ll go help him!”

Yama Heavenly Son laughed and said, “Old ghost, don’t think I don’t know, you’ve already reached the brink of a breakthrough, haven’t you? If it weren’t for the limitation of saintly positions, you probably would have already Proved the Tao and Become a Saint. Once the Third Infinite Calamity starts and the saintly positions open up, you and I alike will be able to directly Prove the Tao and Become a Heavenly Dao Saint!”

“That is true, this old one certainly can!”

...

Nether River Ancestor nodded. Just as Yama Heavenly Son said, the only reason they hadn’t Proved the Tao and Become a Saint was the limitation on saintly positions. Once the Third Infinite Calamity arrived and the limitation was removed, Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint would be as natural for them as water flowing into a channel. “It’s not just you and me, when the time comes, several of the old fellows from the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing will probably also break through and enter saintly positions. This Third Infinite Calamity will definitely be full of excitement!”

“But Nether River, do you really think that kid Sun Wukong can last until the Third Infinite Calamity arrives?”

Nether River Ancestor asked with some doubt, and as soon as his voice fell, a rumbling sound of muffled thunder suddenly echoed throughout the Netherworld. This thunder was very strange, unlike any ordinary thunder, and it seemed to be issued through some unique Great Dao Runes. Anyone below the Quasi-Saint Realm simply couldn’t perceive it.

Nether River Ancestor and Yama Heavenly Son’s faces changed in an instant, first to a look of stunned surprise, then to wild joy.

Heaven-shaking thunder arose, the Infinite Calamity took form!

The Third Infinite Calamity had begun!

“The restriction on saintly positions is lifting! Old ghost, don’t space out, focus all your energy on breaking through. Whether we can Prove the Tao and Become Saints depends on this moment!”

Yama Heavenly Son, although he sounded confident before, knew that Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint was not as easy as eating or drinking, not something sure to succeed merely because one says it will. Even if the restriction on saintly positions loosened, they had to give their full effort. If they failed to rush to the Saint Realm, the backlash would be more than ordinary people could bear, possibly preventing them from advancing for the rest of their lives!

“Yama, this old one awaits you!”

Nether River Ancestor nodded, throwing out a sentence to Yama Heavenly Son before leaping into the Boundless Blood Sea. As the lord of the Boundless Blood Sea, to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint, he naturally had to borrow the power of the Boundless Blood Sea.

“Old ghost, I won’t lose to you!”

A sharp gleam flashed in Yama Heavenly Son’s eyes, and as he let out a clear howl, a resounding rumble spread throughout the whole Netherworld:

“People of the Netherworld Clan, listen. The Third Infinite Calamity has come, and I am now rushing to the Saint Realm. Raise your right hands, gather the Power of Faith, and lend me your strength!”

The voice rang in the ears of every member of the Netherworld Ghost Tribe like the bell of dawn and the drum of dusk, causing them all to lift their heads in astonishment, and then discussions erupted in various parts of the Netherworld.

“It’s the voice of our sovereign!”

“Is our sovereign about to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint?”

“What is the third Infinite Tribulation? Why would our sovereign make a breakthrough at such a time?”

“Who cares what it is, our sovereign told us to raise our right hands and gather the Power of Faith, just do it!”

“Our sovereign is about to make a breakthrough! Our Netherworld Ghost Tribe is finally going to have a Saint!”

After a brief moment of shock and discussion, every member of the Netherworld Ghost Tribe, from the Ten Yama Lords down to the souls waiting for reincarnation, all raised their right hands high. Wisps of invisible Power of Faith began to rise from the center of their right palms, converging towards the depths of Hell’s Yellow Springs.

At this moment, Yama Heavenly Son also left the Boundless Blood Sea and plunged into the deepest well of Hell’s Yellow Springs, the very place he had sealed himself for cultivation. Sun Wukong had once personally witnessed Yama Heavenly Son breaking out of it, but what even Sun Wukong did not know was that beneath this deep well lay the core of the entire Netherworld, as well as the true origin of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms, where all beings of the Three Realms can reincarnate. It was here that Yama Heavenly Son had his Enlightenment and created the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms.

Now, here he would break through once again, Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint, entering that realm all cultivators dream of, the realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint!

In the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, within the dwelling of Demon Master Kunpeng.

“The third Infinite Tribulation has begun! Jiu Feng, Luo Wen, Bai Ze, our chance to break through has come!”

The sound of Thunder from the Nine Heavens was not only resonating within the Netherworld; it echoed throughout the Three Realms. Demon Master Kunpeng and his group were also paying attention to the great battle between Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha, hesitating whether to intervene, when suddenly they heard this thunderous noise. Demon Master Kunpeng was the first to respond, his form shaking as he stood up and shouted.

“After waiting for so many years, the opportunity has finally come! This time, I must Prove the Tao and Become a Saint!”

Great Witch Jiu Feng’s eyes shone with dazzling red light; she was the last remaining Great Witch in the Three Realms, with Essence Blood comparable to an Ancestral Witch. The reason no one from the Witch Race had ever been able to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint was because they focused only on cultivating the Physical Body and neglected the cultivation of the Soul’s True Spirit, and the understanding of the Great Dao. Therefore, for many years, Great Witch Jiu Feng had sat and discussed the Dao with people like Demon Master Kunpeng to make up for what they lacked, all in preparation to assail the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm during this third Infinite Tribulation.

Compared to the great battles against the Witch-Demons and the Divine Enthronement, this third Infinite Tribulation was unprecedented in terms of duration and the opening degree of sainthood. If they missed this opportunity, it might be impossible to find a better one to become a Saint!

“I’ll go back to Demon God Peak to make my breakthrough! Let’s see who will be the first to Prove the Tao and succeed!”

Demon God Bai Ze stood up, threw down these words, and became a beam of white light exiting Demon Master Kunpeng’s Cave Dwelling, heading towards Demon God Peak.

“I was born from the Sea of Blood, just like that old man from the Nether River. To Prove the Tao and Become a Saint, I probably have to go back to the Boundless Blood Sea!”

Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen furrowed his brows, his situation was somewhat special. Although he had already advanced to the Half-Step Saint Realm over the years, Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint required sufficient Origin Power. For him, there was only one path, to go to the Netherworld, enter the Boundless Blood Sea, and claim a share from the ancestral Nether River!
