Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs
Chapter 502 - 415: Blood of Red Refining, Ancient Hall of the Immortal Tower
Surrender!
When Master Illusion uttered these words, his heart was filled with despair.
He was one of the Seven Luminaries Immortals under True Monarch Yinghai, a renowned True Immortal during the Immortal Dynasty. Even now, in the Deceit Immortal Path, he held an extraordinary status, yet he had to beg for mercy from a junior.
He continuously comforted himself.
But what can I do?
Yes, as long as the green hills last, there’s hope for wood to burn.
As long as I can leave this place alive, who would know what I’ve done...
Zhang Kui was still maintaining the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, yet his condition wasn’t good. The "Eyes of Eternal Life" had absorbed a large amount of the Power of Laws, causing his head to feel like it was splitting apart, but he forced himself to endure and sneered coldly:
"Surrender? Seems like you’re just doing it to save your life..."
Master Illusion forced a stiff smile, "No, no, it’s genuine."
Zhang Kui gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright, then swear an oath!"
Without hesitation, Master Illusion immediately swore, "I, Master Illusion, hereby swear, to leave the Deceit Immortal Path and pledge allegiance to..."
"Zhang Kui!"
"Yes, pledge allegiance to Lord Zhang Kui, never to betray. Should I violate this oath, may I fall into the void, never to be reincarnated!"
"Add one more sentence, True Monarch Yinghai is a bastard."
"Huh?"
"Say it quickly!"
"Oh, True Monarch Yinghai is a bastard..."
"Louder!"
Under Zhang Kui’s pressure, Master Illusion took a deep breath,
"True Monarch Yinghai, you bastard!"
The voice was so loud it echoed in all directions.
After saying it, Master Illusion heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself this person must be mad. What use is this childish prattle?
But honestly speaking, there was an inexplicable sense of relief...
However, Zhang Kui immediately performed the Moon-taking technique, replaying the scene from earlier completely, then turned it into a light ball and sealed it within a Black Jade Crystal Plate.
Master Illusion was dumbfounded, "What... are you doing?"
Zhang Kui coldly snorted, "These light shadows are a genuine record of time, they can’t be falsified. If you go back on your word, I’ll make countless copies and spread them across the Desolate Ancient Battlefield."
"What?!"
Master Illusion was like struck by lightning.
"Pfft!"
The plump Snake Demon behind him couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
At this point, Zhang Kui stopped the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, as his body quickly shrunk, the headache gradually subsided, and he closed the "Eyes of Eternal Life".
Now that he had acquired the Power of Laws, he had two places for it to go: the complete parts would be absorbed into the Celestial Gang Skill light ball, while the shattered parts would be devoured and fragmented by the "Eyes of Eternal Life" for evolution purposes.
Unexpectedly, when he had repelled the Divine Fiend Dragon Head earlier, the massive amount of laws absorbed were all fragmented, which was why the "Eyes of Eternal Life" swelled painfully to the point of bursting.
Ignoring the dazed Master Illusion beside him, Zhang Kui once again used the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill and immediately saw the condition of the Divine Fiend.
At this moment, on the central head of the Three-headed Dragon Turtle Divine Fiend, a massive wound flickered, unable to heal, and the fiend seemed furious and frantically tore at the golden chains on its body.
Although its momentum was already diminished, under its frantic tugging and pulling, it could still bite through a chain or two.
Bo Yuan bowed his head and asked, "Sect Leader, what’s the situation over there?"
Everyone perked up their ears and listened intently, including Master Illusion, after all, only Zhang Kui could lead them out of here.
"The situation is rather grave..."
Zhang Kui’s eyes were intense as he recounted what he had seen.
Master Illusion wore a bitter expression, "We must not let this creature escape, or we’ll all die without a doubt."
Bo Yuan furrowed his brows and said, "But we can’t get near, aside from the Sect Leader, the rest of us are no match."
Zhang Kui stared ahead, his eyes concentrating slightly, "Let’s go, let’s see if we can find another way around."
...
Traversing through the Dark Void once again, everyone felt a bit more at ease, not only did Master Illusion illuminate the path with the Immortal Treasure Stone Lamp, but Zhang Kui also guided them.
After making a large circle, the group arrived at the back of the Divine Fiend.
This Three-headed Dragon Turtle Divine Fiend was unimaginably large, as massive as a Moon Star.
But being large also had its drawbacks, the dragon head at the front couldn’t reach the back, after all, a Divine Fiend is a Divine Fiend, born of resentment and has no form, thus lacking a Small World Domain, the only obstacle was the black mist curses.
Zhang Kui kept approaching, and everyone finally saw the Dragon Turtle’s massive body covered with countless golden chains.
Bo Yuan slightly shook his head, "No wonder it’s a Starry Sky Evil God, just one mouthful of its immortal resentment can throw the cosmos into chaos."
"Sect Leader Zhang..."
Behind him, Red Refining Fairy suddenly showed shock in her eyes, trembling all over, "I can feel Treasure Qi, an unimaginable Treasure Qi!"
"Where is it?"
Everyone immediately showed expressions of joy.
Red Refining Fairy slowly pointed to the golden chains, "It’s those things, no, where they come from!"
"Where they come from?"
Zhang Kui suddenly raised his head, looking at the void where the chains extended from, the stars and cosmos rotating in his pupils and immediately discovered the anomaly.
The Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill was capable of peering into the Great Thousand Worlds, with it he had once discovered the fissure in the Netherworld Realm, now seeing where the chains extended from, unexpectedly it was also filled with shining golden cracks.
The Immortal King Tower wasn’t a self-contained space but contained multiple worlds!
"Follow me!"
Zhang Kui’s eyes flashed with excitement, leading everyone towards the fissure, using the Crisis Resolution Immortal Skill along the way to dissolve all the tangible curses blocking their path.
Master Illusion silently glanced back.
Forced to surrender, he felt lost about his future.
This person, who knows where he’s from, illusion skill, Silver True Fire, Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, Pupil Skill... his Divine Immortal Skills were endless and each was immensely powerful, he was even more incredible than True Monarch Yinghai, who was known as True Monarch of a Thousand Laws.
Perhaps, he’s also a good choice...
Zhang Kui naturally didn’t know the little thoughts in Master Illusion’s mind, he had already sensed something amiss.
They had been flying for a long time, but the golden cracks that seemed just ahead were as if eternally unreachable.
"Stop!"
Zhang Kui reached out and halted everyone, speaking gravely, "There’s something odd about this place, the two worlds aren’t contiguous, without the right way to open it, we might never reach the end."
He then remembered, traveling between worlds just isn’t enough, without enough strength, you need a key, just like how the Underworld once required the Divine Strange Pearl, and the Netherworld Realm could be opened with the Nether Dragon Pearl.
"My lord, I have a method."
Master Illusion pointed at Red Refining Fairy and said, "During the Immortal Dynasty, there were Treasure-Seeking Snake bloodlines that served in the Immortal King Hall, but spent years exploring the Secret Realm, this bloodline’s value isn’t just in sensing Treasure Qi, their blood can also open gateways between worlds, I became aware of this and thus formed the idea to abduct her."
Truly, a light at the end of a lost path.
Zhang Kui didn’t ask much, and immediately had Master Illusion teach the method.
Red Refining Fairy already sensed her unusual bloodline, and now having learned the lost ancestral Secret Skill, she instantly felt empowered, extracting her own Immortal Blood and refining it into a blood pearl, translucent like a gemstone.
Buzz buzz buzz...
As Zhang Kui cast the blood pearl into the spatial rift, the surrounding space began to tremble, within the blood light, a golden passage slowly opened.
This woman is a treasure...
She must be brought under my command, she could be of great use in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kui glanced slightly, while Red Refining Fairy inexplicably felt a chilling sensation on her scalp.
Soon, everyone flew into the spatial rift passage.
...
The golden light faded, revealing a grand hall, as if emerging from an ancient and long-sealed past, filled with a sense of antiquity and mystery.
Surrounding them was golden brilliance akin to the sun, illuminating the Dark Void, resplendent like the Scorching Sun.
Sadly, the hall was empty, with no implements or altars, but the walls were ornate, covered with various Starry Sky Evil Gods, including depictions of Red Pigeon and the Blood God.
Zhang Kui discovered more things, like these depictions of the Evil Gods, seemingly casual, yet vaguely dividing the Evil Gods into two factions looking at each other with sharp, bloodthirsty eyes, eager to annihilate each other completely...
