Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Slaying One Corpse Quasi-Saint (Third Update)

“Not just difficult to deal with–it’s incredibly tough!”

Bull Demon King smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Yama Heavenly Son is manageable, but there’s quite a feud between the Nether River Ancestor and our leader. When enemies meet, they see red, and I fear that when the time comes, it will be another fierce battle!”

“Our leader has a feud with Nether River Ancestor? What’s the situation, how come I’ve never heard of it?”

Six-Eared Macaque opened his mouth in surprise, and Demon Ancestor Lou Hu looked at Bull Demon King with great interest, waiting for him to elaborate. Though he had divined that Nether River Ancestor and Yama Heavenly Son were currently engaged in battle in the depths of Netherworld’s Yellow Springs, this was the first time he had heard of any animosity between Nether River Ancestor and Sun Wukong.

“Our leader once had his soul hooked by Black and White Impermanence and broke into the Underworld, causing a huge commotion. In anger, Underworld Yama Lord King Guang unilaterally used the Human Record Life and Death Register and Judge Pen, sealing the barrier between the Netherworld and the World of the Living. The only way back to the Three Realms was through the Polar Realm of Heaven in Yellow Springs. When our leader took the path through Hell’s Yellow Springs, he clashed with the Asura Tribe founded by Nether River Ancestor. He killed Ghost Mother and Sovereign Mara Papiyas of the Asura Demon Kings, which provoked Nether River Ancestor to take action against our leader. Fortunately, Yama Heavenly Son was in deep seclusion in Yellow Springs at the time and was awakened, blocking Nether River Ancestor, allowing our leader to escape. However, that sowed the seeds of enmity,”

sighed the Bull Demon King. He went on to explain the status and position of Ghost Mother and Sovereign Mara Papiyas within the Asura Tribe to Six-Eared Macaque, who then fully understood why the Bull Demon King looked so troubled. It turned out Sun Wukong had such a deep grudge with Nether River Ancestor; this was going to be problematic!

When Sun Wukong encountered Nether River Ancestor, he was already at the level of a Half-Step Saint in terms of cultivation. Now, he has either further progressed to Sub-Saint or has already Proven the Tao and Become a Saint. Whichever it was, his cultivation strength was sure to be extremely terrifying. To borrow a path through his territory to return to the Three Realms was going to be a thousand, if not ten thousand times more difficult than when Sun Wukong borrowed the path back then!

“Demon Ancestor, are there any other passageways between the two realms that can take us back to the Three Realms?”

The strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint could be glimpsed from Demon Ancestor Lou Hu himself. This was when Demon Ancestor Lou Hu had just obtained Jidu Demon Emperor’s physical body and had not yet recovered to his peak state. Although he had not re-Proven the Tao with this body, his combat power was already terrifyingly strong. Nether River Ancestor’s cultivation strength was probably not much lower than Demon Ancestor Lou Hu’s current level. The thought of confronting such a powerhouse made Six-Eared Macaque’s heart sink with trepidation.

He loved to fight, but that was against opponents whose strength was comparable to his or differed only slightly. Faced with such a massive gap that bordered on masochism or even suicide, who in their right mind would actively provoke trouble!

“Not within a short time! With my strength, it’s not impossible to open a new passageway between the Demonic Realm and the Three Realms, but that would take at least several years, waiting until my strength is fully restored.”

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu shook his head.

“Several years…”

Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King exchanged glances and sighed, shaking their heads–they couldn’t wait for several years. The Heavenly Court was probably already mounting a large-scale attack on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Could Flower-Fruit Mountain withstand it? If they delayed for several more years, the situation would have long since turned cold!

Right, couldn’t Demon Ancestor Lou Hu divine the situation in the Three Realms? Wouldn’t it be fine to just ask him?

“Demon Ancestor, you can divine the situation in the Three Realms, right? Could you help us check on Flower-Fruit Mountain’s current state? Has the Heavenly Court already dispatched a large army to attack Flower-Fruit Mountain?”

Six-Eared Macaque suddenly looked up with a piteous expression toward Demon Ancestor Lou Hu.

“Divining the situation at Flower-Fruit Mountain?”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s brows twitched, and he nodded. “It is possible, but it will take some time. You two, wait here quietly for a moment!”

As he spoke, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu closed his eyes, extending his Divine Sense through Heavenly Dao towards the Three Realms. Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque did not dare to disturb him and quietly waited by his side.

After a while, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu suddenly exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes. “I have found out. What you said is correct. The Heavenly Court has indeed commenced a siege on Flower-Fruit Mountain, with a total of a million-strong army, countless immortals and gods!”

As expected!

The expressions of Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque suddenly darkened. Their worries had indeed come true!

“A million-strong army? The old Jade Emperor is really sparing no expense! Demon Ancestor, do you know the current situation at Flower-Fruit Mountain? Can they still hold out?”

Just as Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque were about to ask further, they heard a familiar voice behind them. It was Sun Wukong!

“Big brother, you’re awake?”

The two turned their heads, both shocked and delighted. Shocked that they hadn’t noticed when Sun Wukong had come up behind them, so silently and stealthily; delighted that Sun Wukong appeared to be completely fine, waking up just at the right time!

“Yes, your brother Sun is fine. If I hadn’t woken up now, I would have been too late to rush back to Flower-Fruit Mountain!”

Sun Wukong nodded with a smile at the two, then his expression became serious again as he redirected his questioning gaze towards Demon Ancestor Luo Hu.

“One-Corpse Quasi-Saint! Good lad!”

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s gaze swept over Sun Wukong, lighting up instantly. Although Sun Wukong had already reached the Quasi-Saint Realm earlier, he had not completed Slaying Three Corpses. As a Chaotic Divine Body, he clearly followed the path of Proving the Tao through strength like Great God Pangu. But after a great battle, he not only pushed his Domain Power to a Dominion level but also grasped the path of Proving the Tao by Uniting with the Dao through Slaying Three Corpses. Could this lad be thinking of Proving the Tao through strength while simultaneously Uniting with the Dao through Slaying Three Corpses?

If he could really achieve that, then he would attain the supreme Chaos Saint Realm! Such a realm, existing only in legends. Since ancient times, no one had ever reached it. Perhaps even Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor is somewhat inferior to such a state now. This lad Sun Wukong, how daring in both his thoughts and actions!

“Excellent discernment, Ancestor of the Dao!”

There was a flicker of a light smile at the corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth, which he quickly reined in. Indeed, he had slain the Good Corpse and reached the One-Corpse Quasi-Saint Realm. Moreover, because he had almost proved his Dao through strength, his aura was extremely stable, even stronger than that of a Quasi-Saint who had Slayed Two Corpses or Three Corpses. However, he could not feel happy at the moment, as Flower-Fruit Mountain faced a calamity, an even greater peril than before!

A million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, countless masters among the immortals and gods–the power of such a force was far beyond the previous hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. The Heavenly Court’s offensive this time must be particularly ferocious. The old Jade Emperor had made up his mind this time!

“Ancestor of the Dao, what is the current situation at Flower-Fruit Mountain? Can they still hold out? Please, Ancestor of the Dao, tell us the truth!”
