Chapter 2483: Sky-devouring Can, Naraka’s Secret, Papiyas Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After breaking through into the Sword Overlord Realm, Chu Kuangren tried breaking through other Daos to the same Overlord Realm, but it was not that easy.

He felt like he was lacking an opportunity that could allow him to break through other Daos to the Overlord Realm.

“It’s the… Unlimited Great Dao energy. My Unlimited Great Dao isn’t perfect yet since the Destiny Dao hasn’t broken through to the Unlimited Great Dao Realm. If 1 can ascend it to the Unlimited Great Dao Realm, the others can continue to the Overlord Realm.”

Chu Kuangren figured out the solution to his problem quickly.

Three thousand Ultimate Daos, three thousand Unlimited Great Daos, and three thousand Overlord Daos were all interconnected, and all must progress together with no one left behind.

Chu Kuangren managed to break through to the Sword Overlord Realm before he perfected his Unlimited Great Dao Realm because he was extremely talented and could comprehend the Sword Dao better than anyone.

He also had the Descendant Self Sword and Sword Twenty-six to help him achieve that.

However, his other Daos were not as able as his Sword Dao.

In order to achieve a breakthrough, he had to perfect his Unlimited Great Dao Realm first.

“How am I going to break through the Destiny Dao?”

Chu Kuangren pondered but did not have a clue as to what to do.

As such, he opened up the Fantasy Roulette and did a gacha draw.

“Congratulations, Host! You’ve won the Eternal-tier prize, Sky-devouring Can.”

“Sky-devouring Can?”

The name intrigued Chu Kuangren.

Since it was labeled as an Eternal-tier prize, it must be something amazing.

Chu Kuangren checked its description and was delighted by his findings.

The Sky-devouring Can was a Source Supreme Treasure closely related to Devour.

The can could absorb a certain kind of energy and store it for future use. The user could then decide when to use the energy stored inside.

The only downside of the can was that it could only store one kind of energy at a time.

If Chu Kuangren wanted to use it to store water, he could only store water inside, and to store other things inside, he would have to pour the water away.

“Interesting. If I can use it well, it might work wonders,” Chu Kuangren murmured.

Then, a sudden realization struck, and he took out a black compass that was somehow glowing in his storage.

He had gotten the compass from Luo Hou.

When he was cultivating his three thousand Daos, he had gotten Lil Ai to analyze it before. However, the power contained in the compass was strange. Even the Omniscient Spirit could not fully analyze it after hundreds of thousands of years.

The only thing Chu Kuangren found out was that the compass was related to tribulation, and he had actually encountered it before.

“Is this compass pointing to somewhere?”

Chu Kuangren looked at the needle that pointed in a certain direction after some rapid spinning, and it made him curious.

“Interesting.”

Then, with the compass in hand, Chu Kuangren vanished from the spot.

He wanted to see where the compass would lead him and whether the person behind that was, as he thought, the same being he had met before.

Chu Kuangren arrived in a strange underworld, where thunder rumbled, and wind, water, fire, and qi shifted across the sky, producing all kinds of strange scenes.

In fact, the scenes were conjured by tribulation energy.

There were also countless cultivators shuttling across the strange and dangerous scenes.

At the border of the strange underworld was a massive rock with the name of the place carved on it — Naraka.

A vast and domineering aura could be sensed from the name. Weaker cultivators who laid eyes on the rock might even be frightened.

Chu Kuangren arrived at Naraka.

“So this is Naraka…”

Chu Kuangren was surprised by the scene before his eyes.

He had heard of the place from the Devil King and Shen Qixue. The ruler of Naraka was an old Primal God named Tribulation Lord.

The Tribulation Lord controlled all the tribulations of the universe.

He was so powerful that he once hurt the God Emperor.

“Even Naraka is here. It seems the ancient ones really are popping out everywhere.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and looked at the compass in his hand as he started to ponder.

The compass should be related to the Tribulation Lord.

Since the compass had led him there, did it mean that the Tribulation Lord wanted to meet him?

“I’ll ask him when I see him.”

With that, Chu Kuangren entered Naraka.

For as far as his eyes could see, endless tribulations filled the land and sky.

Wind tribulation, water tribulation, fire tribulation, lightning tribulation, qi tribulation, and all kinds of tribulations shone brightly across the place.

Chu Kuangren was surprised to see cultivators jumping into the tribulations, trying to fight them.

Why would the cultivators jump into the tribulations?”

“I’ll clear the fire tribulation today!”

A cultivator stared at the blazing flame before his eyes with absolute determination before jumping into the fire tribulation without a second thought.

The flames burned stronger the moment he jumped in.

When the terrifying tribulation energy impacted the cultivator, he cried out in pain. Although his body charred instantly, he endured the pain and managed to escape after a while.

Once the fire tribulation faded, strange energy came from the sky and infused into the cultivator’s body. Endless spiritual qi gushed into his body when he was done.

In just a blink of an eye, the cultivator’s cultivation level rose sharply.

Chu Kuangren finally knew what was happening.

“I see. Survive the tribulation and one will be rewarded.”

It was not something rare on the path of cultivation.

Mortals who wanted to become immortals had to experience the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations.

Embodiers who wanted to become Primordials must go through the Primordial Tribulation.

Tribulation was a part of the cultivation path.

Those who failed the test would die, and their souls would be shattered.

However, those who succeeded would see a sharp increase in strength.

“Naraka is quite a mysterious place. If one can survive the tribulation and get stronger, this is also a great place that holds both risk and opportunity.”

Chu Kuangren pondered.

No wonder the cultivators were trying to clear the trials of the tribulations.

He saw many cultivators in Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five trying to seize one last chance to escape death.

He also saw many younger cultivators taking the tests because they wanted to grow stronger but were ultimately killed by the harshness of the test.

With the compass’ guidance, Chu Kuangren went deeper into Naraka.

The deeper he went, the stronger and scarier the tribulations were.

“Huh? That person…”

Suddenly, Chu Kuangren spotted a familiar figure.

It was a handsome man in kasaya, who emanated an eerie blood-colored Buddhist light.

Chu Kuangren knew the person.

It was Papiyas, the Desire Buddha.

“He’s here?”

Chu Kuangren saw Papiyas standing in front of a pitch-black smoke, and his surroundings started to change, transforming into an image of an old Buddha.

It was the oldest Buddha but not the real one.

It was just a conjuration by the black mist.

“I see. Papiyas is trying to clear the tribulation of his heart.”

After watching for a while, a sudden realization struck him. He pondered for a while and decided not to attack Papiyas..
