Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs
Chapter 501 - 414: Divine Fiend Rampages, Longevity Reveals Its Might
"Stop!"
Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to halt everyone.
He exerted himself to use the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill, as the cosmos rotated within his pupils, slowly revealing the creature’s form:
It was an unheard-of giant beast, its body resembling a turtle, covered in uneven, hideous bone spikes, and its size was nearly as large as Moon Star.
At the front of the turtle shell, three dragon heads emerged, black scales and sharp teeth, with ghostly blue flames flickering in their eyes. Saliva dripped between their enormous fangs, and each drop turned into a tangible curse in the void, cloaked in black mist and manifesting as black-scaled claws flying in various directions.
But what drew more attention were the pale gold transparent chains extending from the void, tightly binding it like a bundled rice dumpling.
Is this the Divine Fiend of the Evil God?
Zhang Kui’s face was grave, uncertain whether to proceed.
Without a doubt, the constant warnings of death from the Cute Head Skill suggested that he was no match for this thing, not even slightly.
The Starry Sky Dominator was on an entirely different level; even its posthumous resentment posed a deadly threat to ordinary Immortal levels like them.
But looking around the void, only this Divine Fiend existed.
The exquisite array setup and the Gate of Life and Death usually align at one point; perhaps the key to breaking out also involved that Divine Fiend.
While he was pondering this, the deceitful immortals led by Master Illusion also gradually approached the Divine Fiend. Although the projected range of their Immortal Treasures was limited, they sensed the danger and became hesitant.
Zhang Kui’s eyes flickered, and a smile crept onto his lips.
With this thought, he immediately led the group forward at high speed, avoiding those living curses darting about, arriving twenty miles from Master Illusion.
Transportation, Flying Sword!
As he made the spell gestures and cast the Immortal Skill, hollow spaces appeared two thousand meters ahead of Master Illusion, from which the ferocious Purple Extreme Sword Light burst forth.
Master Illusion was already highly vigilant. As the sword light approached, he noticed it immediately and gave a cold snort, waving it away, "Still alive, you’ve got some luck!"
Beside him, the Deceitful Immortal Commander spoke in a deep voice, "Sir, this person is a danger if left here, shall we surround and kill him?"
Master Illusion’s eyes gleamed, "Forget it, making a move in the Immortal King Tower is courting disaster, don’t fall for it."
In the distance, Zhang Kui was immediately frustrated.
He hadn’t expected that guy to be such a coward.
There are less than ten on their side, at least three hundred deceitful immortals; even with those odds, Zhang Kui was a bit helpless.
Fortunately, the deceitful immortals ultimately entered the Divine Fiend’s area.
Zhang Kui widened his eyes, just in time to see the enormous dragon head of the Divine Fiend slowly lower. Though those around him couldn’t see it, they grew tense seeing his reaction.
On the deceitful immortals’ side, Master Illusion suddenly felt his eyelids twitch, his scalp tingle, and he shouted angrily, "Retreat quickly!"
But it was already too late.
The dragon head of the Divine Fiend made a sucking motion, and the Immortal Treasure in Master Illusion’s hand, a stone lamp, flickered, its light shrinking dramatically.
"Ah!"
Amidst harrowing screams, the deceitful immortals beyond the lamp’s light exploded into scattered lumps of flesh, insect limbs, and tentacles, which swiftly turned into pale ashes. Their sources of laws and Divine Souls were sucked into the dragon head’s nostrils amidst piercing screams.
In an instant, nearly half the deceitful immortals lost their lives. The rest, led by Master Illusion, fled frantically, only stopping once they left the Divine Fiend’s area, looking around in heart-pounding fear.
Zhang Kui understood, as restrictions on Divine Thought exploration meant they faced an unperceivable deathly fear, terrifying even for creatures like deceitful immortals.
What worried him more was that having absorbed the laws and Divine Souls of those deceitful immortals, the dragon head Divine Fiend seemed rejuvenated, its pupils ablaze with ghostly flames, breaking several chains into pieces with a turn of its head, scattering golden light in all directions.
Damn, this guy wants to escape!
Zhang Kui felt a chill on his scalp, regretting luring the deceitful immortals to their deaths.
The Divine Fiends he had seen before, though bizarre, were nothing more than resentment entangled with broken laws; the "Eyes of Eternal Life" could instantly turn them to ashes.
But this Starry Sky Evil God’s Divine Fiend was almost solid, existing between illusion and reality, likely bearing an undying attribute, which explained why it was suppressed here.
What to do?
While Zhang Kui contemplated a strategy, Master Illusion, with the deceitful immortals, went berserk, gritting his teeth as he snarled, "That must be where the Divine Fiend is. There’s no turning back now, follow me, let’s bypass and see what it is!"
His face was contorted with rage as he spoke, fangs bared, black tendrils extending and retracting all over his body, and his eyes as black as the void.
Looking at the surrounding deceitful immortals, they were the same.
Practicing Deceit Immortal Path granted unhindered movement within the Immortal King Cave Heaven and even sped them up, but their Divine Souls were inevitably tainted, posing significant hidden dangers. Even with the skillful craft of True Monarch Ying Hai, sheer terror made them lose rationality and turn frenzied.
Crap!
Zhang Kui instantly detected their movement and let out a cold snort and pursued them.
If these fools walked into the trap, it could very well free the Divine Fiend, which must be stopped.
Of course, Zhang Kui wasn’t out to persuade them; since death was inevitable, might as well let them die by his hand!
In the blink of an eye, he covered the dozen miles.
This time, Zhang Kui no longer concealed his cultivation. With an angry roar, he transformed into a hundred-meter giant, and under the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, his cultivation suddenly tripled.
The terrifying Qi Mechanism spread in all directions, the entire void vibrating to the hum of his roar.
Bo Yuan and Red Refining Fairy were left dumbstruck, realizing that the carefree and casual Sect Leader they’d journeyed with had a Tao Cultivation and Divine Power far beyond their imagination.
The deceitful immortals also sensed the killing intent behind them, trapped between the Divine Fiend ahead and Zhang Kui behind, their formation fell into chaos out of sheer terror.
Some people turned into deformed monsters, roaring as they charged at the Divine Fiend, while others linked their dark domains, turning to face Zhang Kui.
"Do not lose your footing!"
Amidst the crisis, Master Illusion, like a splash of cold water, regained his composure and tried to stop his subordinates.
However, it was already too late.
With thousands of sword lights forming the Sword Seeing Array Divine Fire Cannon around Zhang Kui, after absorbing the Red Lotus Karmic Fire from the Nether Fire Bell, the power of the Yin Yang True Fire was elevated by a notch. It swirled and clashed endlessly within the sword array, an awe-inspiring killing force seemingly tearing the surrounding space apart.
Boom!
In the dark void, a streak of silver light suddenly rose, like a divine sword breaking ground from chaos, flashing by and obliterating dozens of the advancing Deceitful Immortals without a trace.
Only the clear-headed Master Illusion narrowly evaded by teleporting away.
Zhang Kui had simultaneously expanded the Void Domain, absorbing all the Power of Laws, as golden light filled the Celestial Gang Skill light cluster at a visible pace.
What a harvest!
In the eerie and terrifying environment of the Immortal King Tower, the frenzied Deceitful Immortals gathered as a group, facing his most powerful move, resulting in such bounty.
In other places, Immortals could easily teleport and dodge, at most being hit, three to five of them.
"Damn it!"
Having escaped disaster, Master Illusion was both shocked and angry, clenching his fists but too afraid to step forward.
Not all strong individuals come from adversity.
Born in the prosperous era of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, from a Cultivation Family with no shortage of resources, and with exceptional talent, he quickly became immortal upon obtaining the Tao Fruit. Later, he caught the eye of True Monarch Yinghai, gaining fame alongside rebellion, suffering few hardships even on the Deceit Immortal Path.
Frankly, it was his first encounter with such a desperate situation.
He now regretted being provoked into attempting to seize the Immortal King Tower.
At this moment, Zhang Kui had absorbed all the Golden Light of Law from the deceased Deceitful Immortals, and grinned sinisterly at Master Illusion a thousand meters away, revealing his white teeth.
Master Illusion held the Immortal Treasure Lamp in his right hand, his Qi Mechanism suddenly elevating, glaring at Zhang Kui, who had not yet withdrawn his Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, and gritted his teeth:
"Young one, come on, I... I’m not afraid of you!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt something was amiss, and a sense of shame arose, quickly turning into nameless rage, his gaze gradually becoming frantic.
Yet at that moment, a pervasive chill of killing intent from the rear almost froze his Divine Soul. Raising his neck with a creaking sound, he happened to see the massive black scales spreading overhead.
It turned out the Divine Fiend had consumed the Divine Soul of Law from the Deceitful Immortals charging him, with the central neck suddenly breaking its chain and extending over tens of miles to attack.
Master Illusion’s eyes were filled with despair.
However, the Divine Fiend Dragon Head’s target was not him, but Zhang Kui, whose Divine Soul Domain, after using the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, was even more enticing.
All of this happened in an instant, leaving Zhang Kui no time to dodge or even cast a spell, as a tremendous suction suddenly surged, causing intense pain in his Divine Soul, as if it was about to be torn from his body.
In the critical moment, Zhang Kui exploded with fury, his face contorted as he roared, "Begone!"
The "Eyes of Eternal Life" on his forehead suddenly opened, with black pupils on a white background, the Tai Chi Light Wheel surprisingly revolving with a starry cosmos.
Boom!
A ten-meter thick Light of Silent Extinction blasted out.
At this moment, he used the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, his mana already tripled in power, and in a fit of rage, he surprisingly integrated the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill, making the Light of Silent Extinction, specialized in countering the Divine Fiend, even more chaotic and mystical.
The black Light of Silent Extinction collided with the dragon head, instantly dissipating the terrifying suction. Along with a sizzling sound, black and blue flames sparked, creating strange illusions in everyone’s Divine Soul:
It depicted a vast azure Life Star, with gigantic waves covering its surface, only a few high mountains emerging as small islands, where various Sea Race beings fought fiercely.
A Dragon Turtle Desolate Beast was born, gradually growing two more heads amidst constant battles, eventually becoming a god of the Sea Race, devouring reincarnations to become the Three-headed Dragon Turtle Starry Sky Evil God, starting its rampage across the Star Sea.
Its power was based on a cold wave law, capable of freezing stars in a breath and devouring thousands of souls. Unfortunately, it encountered a nemesis, chased by a massive scorching sun, fleeing into the Longevity Star Realm.
However, there was an even more ruthless presence here, a gigantic silhouette crossing the starry sky, freezing time, reducing it to ashes, then suppressing it...
Such scenes, akin to ancient myths, made everyone’s head ache, with the Snake Demon under the Red Refining Fairy even clutching its head, eyes bleeding tears...
At this moment, Zhang Kui’s face was also bulging with veins.
Although the Divine Fiend Dragon Head was stopped, it still roared madly forward. Worse, the time for the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth was nearly up.
Buzz, half the Golden Light of Law within the Celestial Gang Skill instantly disappeared, elevating the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth by one level, extending the time again.
"Not enough!"
With gritted teeth, Zhang Kui roared in anger, elevating again.
Boom!
His figure expanded suddenly, growing to a height of one hundred and fifty meters, simultaneously quadrupling his mana, making the Light of Silent Extinction suddenly thicker.
With a shrill cry, the Divine Fiend Dragon Head was split in half and retracted, and the hallucinations in everyone’s minds vanished, prompting them to quickly retreat crazily, leaving the danger zone.
Everyone stared gape-mouthed at Zhang Kui.
Though originally a Divine Fiend formed from resentment, it was still a Starry Sky Dominator...
Zhang Kui panted heavily, his face contorted as he glared aside.
Master Illusion, who had escaped amidst the chaos, swallowed bitterly,
"Sir, I surrender!"
