Chapter 588 -588: The Fall of the Saint, Heaven and Earth Mourn Together (1st Update!)
“Wukong, my brother, do you not know that once one attains sainthood, one can no longer comprehend and consolidate new Great Daos? From the looks of it, you should have comprehended several Great Daos. It’s best to consolidate them all into an ethereal shadow before proving the Tao and becoming a saint. Otherwise, once you have attained sainthood, all the Great Daos that have not been consolidated into an ethereal shadow will no longer have a chance to take form!”
Yama Heavenly Son said with a serious face.
Wukong could not help but inhale sharply from surprise. It was fortunate that Yama Heavenly Son had interrupted him, for if he had attempted to prove the Tao with his current understanding of it and become a saint, he would probably have only been able to consolidate the Destruction Great Dao possessed by the Heaven-Breaking Domain.
What a great loss and regret that would have been, and he would indeed have regretted it dearly in the future!
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Wukong gave Yama Heavenly Son a deep bow. Had it not been for Yama Heavenly Son’s intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
“Thank you, Brother Yama! My words were out of place just now; I hope you’re not angry!”
Yama Heavenly Son smiled and waved his hand, “No matter, Wukong. Just don’t resent me for disrupting your ascension.”
Between proving the Tao and becoming a saint and continuing to solidify one’s foundation, many might choose to prove the Tao. Yama Heavenly Son wasn’t sure if Wukong would be annoyed. He had taken the risk of offending Wukong with his decision, but thankfully he had not made the wrong choice.
“No, no, no, I must thank you, Brother, for timely waking me up!”
Wukong nodded insistently, “This is a matter concerning my future achievements. Brother, you took a great risk, and I understand that in my heart. Enormous favors need no thanks; they are reflected in the wine we share!”
As he spoke, Wukong flipped his hand, and two gourds of Indomitable Battle Wine appeared in his hand. He tossed one gourd towards Yama Heavenly Son.
Yama Heavenly Son stretched out his hand to catch it, not paying much attention at first. He opened the stopper and shared a drink with Wukong, intending to throw the gourd away afterward. However, his expression changed after just one sip.

“What kind of wine is this?”
Yama Heavenly Son had never tasted such a beverage; just one sip turned into surges of spiritual energy moving through his body towards his limbs and bones, instantly as though every acupoint in his body was opened, and he felt a sudden enlightening relief, not just physically, but even his Soul’s True Spirit felt immensely nourished!
“The Indomitable Battle Wine, brewed with ginseng fruit and nine-thousand-year Peach of Immortality as the main ingredients.”
Wukong said with a proud smile, for it was newly brewed Indomitable Battle Wine, a top-grade within its category, effective even for Heavenly Dao Saints.
“Excellent wine, truly excellent!”
Yama Heavenly Son repeatedly praised it, his face expressing a clear desire to have it.
“Brother Yama, this gourd of Indomitable Battle Wine is for you!”
“Ah? How could I accept this?”
“Don’t be so polite; consider it a token of my appreciation, Brother. Who knows when I might need your help again in the future…”
“Certainly, certainly. Anytime I can be of assistance, I will not decline. The Netherworld Ghost Tribe and the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult are allies, after all. Mutual aid is proper!”
Yama Heavenly Son’s smile bloomed like a flower. A Saint of Heavenly Dao indeed, but still with desires that do not diminish significantly with the increase in cultivation, only that fewer things attracted his attention now.
But the Indomitable Battle Wine was one temptation even a Saint like Yama Heavenly Son could not resist.
Wukong did not linger too long in the Netherworld. He had heard from Yama Heavenly Son what he needed to know; it was time to leave. After all, he could always manifest the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms pathway to meditate at any time.
After stepping out from Fengdu Ghost City, Sun Wukong could not help but stare in astonishment; the primordial qi of the world outside was extremely chaotic as if it had recently been through a great battle, and moreover, there was a torrential downpour falling from the sky.
Even more bizarre, the color of the rain was blood red, as though it were blood itself!
Heaven weeps blood! The world shares this sorrow!
“Could it be that a Saint has fallen?”
Heart sinking, Sun Wukong thought that although there were more Saints in the Three Realms now than before, they could still be counted on one hand. Which Saint had fallen? Could a Saintly War have erupted?
“Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!”
Sun Wukong activated his Void-Breaking Divine Eye to the third phase, the level of Void-Breaking Starry Eyes. The originally chaotic and indiscernible spiritual energy of heaven and earth divided into layers, revealing a line of energy fluctuation.
“It’s coming from that place… Oh no, that’s the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing!”
Sun Wukong’s heart sank further. The Heavenly Dao Saints of the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing were none other than Puti Patriarch, Demon Master Kunpeng, and Mosquito Daoist.
These were the Heavenly Dao Saints of his Flower-Fruit Mountain!
Well, even if it wasn’t them who had fallen, some other Heavenly Dao Saint must have gone to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing and engaged in a fierce Saintly War. Otherwise, how could there be blood rain from heaven, a spectacle of shared sorrow?
A Saintly War capable of causing the fall of a Saint was not something to be taken lightly; the battlefield would likely be torn asunder. Even if the fallen were not the Heavenly Dao Saints of Flower-Fruit Mountain, the destructive power of this Saintly War would still be immense. Sun Wukong was indeed in a state of urgency!
“Streaming Light Escape!”
Immediately, Sun Wukong arose on a cloud, using the Streaming Light Escape technique, transforming into a golden light and flying in the direction of the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing following the line of energy fluctuation.
Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, Celestial Fallen Mountain Range.
This place was the holy land of the Barbarian Race and the site of the Nine Barbarian Sacred Peaks. However, the earth was now devoid of any sacred peaks, leaving only a seemingly bottomless pit.
Demon Master Kunpeng sat cross-legged at the edge of the pit, cultivating and regulating his breath. His complexion flickered, appearing quite eerie.
A short distance away, Puti Patriarch and Mosquito Daoist stood side by side, their gazes fixed on Demon Master Kunpeng.
“Brother Puti, do you think Brother Kunpeng will be alright like this?”
A trace of worry crossed Mosquito Daoist’s face as he asked Puti Patriarch standing beside him. Demon Master Kunpeng had previously swallowed a Heavenly Dao Saint alive—this was not as simple as swallowing a chicken or duck. Could he withstand it?
He wouldn’t burst and die from overextension, would he?
“Don’t worry, Kunpeng is not one to act recklessly. Since he dared to swallow that Spirit Emperor, it means he is confident that he can withstand it. Don’t forget, he is Kunpeng, possessed of the Devouring Great Dao. There’s nothing in this world that the Devouring Great Dao cannot devour!”
Puti Patriarch glanced at Demon Master Kunpeng, his eyes flashing as he spoke.
In fact, Demon Master Kunpeng was not only fine, but in Puti Patriarch’s view, he was very likely to make significant progress due to having devoured that Spirit Emperor. Although the Spirit Emperor was not considered very powerful, after all, it was a Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint; Demon Master Kunpeng had swallowed the Spirit Emperor whole, and most of the energy inside the Spirit Emperor’s body would have been absorbed by him.
