Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 264 - 262: Human Race Divine Path, Unification of the World

"True Man Zhang, do not push me too far!"

The elder's face had turned exceptionally ferocious, with a row of sharp teeth in his mouth, and the vertical eye on his forehead became blood-red. Shrouded in divine mist behind him, a grotesque bony fish with a mouthful of sharp teeth loomed indistinctly...

In the distance, the demons of the Yunmeng Water Mansion formed a grand array, with water light rippling and an aura surging skyward.

Yuan Huang and the Great Venerate Toad let out a cold laugh, and over thirty cultivators in the Mahayana Realm immediately swarmed forward, heavily surrounding the Yunmeng Water Mansion.

The demons of the Chai Kingdom had just pledged allegiance and wouldn't miss such an opportunity to show their loyalty.

Chi Liyan shouted angrily, "Audacious! How dare you act recklessly in front of True Man Zhang!"

The demons of the Chai Kingdom also raised a surging black mist, following suit to surround the area, with a dazzling venomous light shining in all directions, glaring fiercely at the Yunmeng Water Mansion.

More than forty Mahayana Realm cultivators besieging—such a situation had never occurred in the Central State, and the aura stirred the mountains and rivers, causing the earth to rumble.

The demons of the Yunmeng Water Mansion immediately withered, casting a pleading glance at the elder Water God.

The tide was turning for the human tribe; they only hoped to pass the tribulation safely today and desired nothing more.

The elder Water God's expression changed repeatedly, clenching his teeth to forcibly suppress his qi mechanism.

But Zhang Kui's anger was growing ever more fervent. If this elder merely sought a refuge with over a dozen Mahayana cultivators, it would be one thing, but conspiring for the position of True God of the human tribe was to touch his reverse scale.

The power of the Human Race Divine Path was becoming increasingly evident, and those who coveted it would perhaps be endless in the future. Today, it was better to make things clear.

With this thought, he waved his hand, and the now jade-colored Divine Court Bell instantly hung in the sky. Divine light shrouded the land, and the resounding bell echoed throughout the Central State. Innumerable Holy Temples had statues of the Divine Court Bell flashing with divine light, blasting straight into the sky.

An unprecedented spectacle appeared as divine lights rose from the land of Central State—from the icy Northern Border State to the surging tides of Quanzhou, from Lai State in the center to the desert-bound Shazhou. Countless divine lights soared into the night, illuminating the entire Central State!

"The power of the Sacred Artifact, protect my human tribe!"

Watching this miraculous scene, though Zhang Kui repeatedly instructed that humans should not kneel, countless people still rushed out of their homes, their eyes brimming with tears, kneeling sincerely to worship.

This was a true miracle, condensing the incense faith of countless people. Seeing the entire night sky lit by divine light, they only felt a brightness in their hearts, sweeping away the gloom accumulated over countless years.

Even the demons following Zhang Kui changed their expressions, looking at everything in disbelief.

To be honest, most of what they did was because of Zhang Kui's invincible divine might. In the Cultivation Realm, where the weak are prey to the strong, it was natural for the strong to dominate the world. Following Zhang Kui, they might also gain some opportunity.

As for attaching to the human tribe, it was merely an excuse. Without Zhang Kui, they wouldn't even give it a second glance.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Kui had always suppressed and concealed the power of the Divine Court Bell, which was now exposed by the Yunmeng Water Mansion's Water God. Coupled with the current momentum, it was no longer hidden.

This magnificent power of the Divine Path could easily slay any of them with ease.

How long had Zhang Kui established the Divine Path? The talk of humans being ants was simply laughable, and the day of their rise might have already come.

Watching this astounding divine might, the elder Water God of Yunmeng Water Mansion showed eyes full of fascination, fear, and greed.

Zhang Kui let out a cold snort and soared into the sky, observing the winds and clouds in all directions. His eyes burned with Sun Divine Fire, his voice resounding through heaven and earth, echoing in the Divine Court Bell statues across the land.

"Humans of Central State, evil spirits of the four directions, all living beings, listen to my words!"

"The Divine Path I establish is not aloof and governing all things. It is the god within your hearts!"

"Heaven and earth lack order; the Great Path has no permanence. Yet, righteous energy flows in the human realm. The Human Race Divine Path, protecting all beings in heaven and earth, only admits those with great merit. Also, it supervises all beings. If there is wrongdoing, with the resentment of all beings, the Divine Court Bell will sense it, strip their divine status, destroy their divine soul, witnessed by heaven and all living beings!"

"True God of the Human Tribe, emerge!"

As soon as Zhang Kui finished speaking, the Divine Court Bell flashed with divine light, revealing three towering Golden Body Dharma Aspects.

Wearing a golden robe of sun, moon, and stars, crowned with the low-hanging Crown of Chaos, their face bore a resemblance to Zhang Kui but was more dignified and grand.

"I am Tai Shi, leader of the True Gods of the human tribe, born of the righteous energy of heaven and earth, supervising the Divine Path. If there are transgressions, the Divine Court Bell shall cut them down, witnessed by heaven and all beings!"

Clang!

The Divine Court Bell reverberated melodiously.

The Taoist-robed Shen Xu stepped forward and solemnly declared, "I am Shen Xu, a True God of the human tribe, assisting True Man Zhang in establishing the Divine Path, with merit entering the divine position. If there are transgressions, the Divine Court Bell shall cut them down, witnessed by heaven and all beings!"

Yin Bai, donned in a black robe and silver armor, strode forth coldly and solemnly: "I am Yin Bai, a True God of the human tribe, born humble, spent a lifetime slaying demons, reporting a thousand miles with devotion after death, attaining the divine position through merit and faith. If there are transgressions, the Divine Court Bell shall cut them down, witnessed by heaven and all beings!"

Clang! Clang!

As the two spoke, the Divine Court Bell once again resonated through the heavens and earth.

The high-ranking members of the Kaiyuan Sect viewing spiritual mountains felt a jolt in their hearts, collectively bowing towards the sky, "The Human Race Divine Path above, we shall not enter the Divine Path without merit!"

On the Divine Land, countless people seemed to feel it in their hearts, kneeling in sincere prayer, "The Human Race Divine Path above, we shall support the Divine Path mutually, passing down the flame for thousands of years, never regretting!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Divine Court Bell continuously rang as heaven and earth shone with divine light.

In the early days of the establishment of the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty, as the Divine Land Array neared completion, Zhang Kui set the rules at this time, and the Human Race Divine Path finally achieved Great Success.

Seeing the immense power of the Human Race Divine Path, from the Mahayana Realm evil spirits around to the wild demon spirits across the Divine Land, from the cultivators traveling in the wilderness to the officials in various cities, all were stirred with ambition.

But upon witnessing the strict rules of the Divine Path, they were immediately filled with awe; some showed hesitant gazes, while others became more determined.

Among the divine light covering the sky, Zhang Kui looked down at the old Water God of the Yunmeng Water Mansion, his eyes filled with chill, "You want to join the Divine Path I established, but you don't even see what you are!"

"No matter what old Ancient Divine Path you're cultivating, in my eyes, they are all evil gods and wicked sacrifices!"

Greed, resentment, hatred... various negative emotions surged, the old Water God completely revealed his demon form, with a bloody and twisted aura soaring skyward, he crazily roared at Zhang Kui:

"The gods are high above, the masters of heaven and earth and all beings; your Divine Path is as humble as a slave, bound to dissipate in less than a century!"

"High above?"

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, the terrifying aura stirred the winds and clouds, "High above, my foot! Old Zhang was born a butcher, meant to slaughter the likes of you who are high above!"

"What immortals, what gods, whatever you are, if these are the rules and the path in your hearts, old Zhang will overturn this world and shatter this Great Path!"

"Hahaha, how boastful!"

The Water God laughed maniacally, his eyes filled with bloodlust and intent to kill, as the divine light dispersed around him, a beam of blood-red light shot towards Zhang Kui from the vertical eye on his forehead.

"Courting death!"

Zhang Kui's eyes were shrouded in murderous intent, as anger surged within him, suddenly his forehead split, a vertical seam left from where a piece of his skull was missing after encountering an unknown presence at the Profound Yin Mountain, which had been covered by skin.

The "Longevity" within him suddenly stirred, no longer manifesting outwardly, but instead burrowing into the crack in his forehead; the surrounding complex white glyphs like the whites of the eye, and the center's deep darkness like a pupil, forming a strange eye that locked onto the Water God.

Looking at that eye, the old Water God suddenly felt a cold basin of water pour over his heart, filled with a desperate fear.

Bang!

A black beam as thick as a pail shot straight out, instantly engulfing the old man's blood-red divine light, then enveloped him completely.

"Ah!"

A shrill howl echoed far and wide, the blood-red divine light of the Water God was peeled away and devoured layer by layer, his body torn open, burst apart, gradually turning into a mass of bloody mud, lifeless.

The surrounding demons watched in terror.

This... what is this, it is utterly terrifying.

Zhang Kui also felt a sensation within his heart, as the "Longevity" that had accompanied him all the way completely fused with him, transforming into a divine power.

Unlike the "skills" of the Earth Demon 72 Techniques, or the "laws" of the future Thirty-Six Celestial Gang Skills, it was a true divine power, something more akin to a rule.

This rule was devouring; the more things like divine light, immortal charm, and laws it devoured, the stronger its power would become.

Perhaps, calling it Light of Silent Extinction was suitable.

The divine power of the "Eyes of Eternal Life" was the Light of Silent Extinction, unexplainably ironic.

Zhang Kui let out a cold snort, the vertical eye on his forehead slowly closed, and he turned to look in the direction of the Yunmeng Water Mansion's demons.

"True Man Zhang, spare us, we are willing to surrender!"

The Yunmeng Water Mansion's demons were already trembling with fear; they had also followed because they were bound by the Water God's restriction. Now that the Water God was destroyed and the restriction dispersed, they had no wish to fight, immediately dispersing their grand array and kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Kui glanced at them indifferently, "The Chai Kingdom's demons will oversee watching, the rest will continue to construct the grand array with me."

"We obey True Man's decree!"

The demons humbly accepted the order.

Zezhou, being Shenzhi, established Shenling Mountain.

This location should set the Geng Metal Array; after days of earthshaking movements, a Five-Colored Spirit Mountain stood tall, full of grandeur.

The principle of metal generates water, and water generates metal, focusing on inversion and overturn. With Shenling Mountain suppressing the Geng Metal Array, the expansive rivers and lakes of Zezhou would no longer pose hidden dangers, instead, various spiritual ores would continuously be nurtured on the Spirit Mountain.

Thus, the Divine Land was clear and unimpeded, Zhang Kui's progress grew even faster.

In Jiangzhou, Youling Mountain was established, the oldest among all things, stable with the Xin Metal Array.

The Xin Metal's nature, soft externally and firm internally, tested the perseverance of spirit cultivators, Youling Mountain naturally formed its own Sword Charm, a Sword Qi pierced the sky, breaking through the clouds, enduring long.

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, "This is the land for sword cultivators in the Divine Land to achieve the way, my brother Zhu Sheng, I'm entrusting it to you!"

Zhu Sheng, who had already arrived, wore a solemn expression, respectfully clasping his hands, "I will not disappoint you, brother!"

Next, in Quanzhou, Xuling Mountain was established, stabilized by the Wu Soil Array, abundant in all things, also a top-tier spiritual land.

In Lanzhou, Hailing Mountain was established, secured by the Ren Water Array, with all things stored and refined, suitable for washing and refining pills, its ability to contain and hold even suppressed the underground Buddha Mother of the Lanjiang Water Mansion from moving, ready to be annihilated completely once the Red Lotus Karmic Fire drained it.

Thus, all twelve Earth Branches of the Divine Land Array were completed, only the Heaven and Earth Divine Mountain in Lai State remained.

The Divine Land seemed to fall into an eerie calm, countless people, and demon spirits of various places, all bore an awe-filled anticipation, watching Zhang Kui step by step enter Lai State...
