Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 388 - 322: Holy Land of the Barbarian Continent, Origins of the Evil God (Part 2)

Leading from this place to the foot of the Holy Mountain of the Ancient Race, there were many gigantic bluestone statues covered in ice, positioned along the path, each exuding an imposing aura, their forms strange and fantastical.

Most of them were ancient beasts with peculiar appearances, but there were quite a few humanoid ones, among which was prominently the Guardian Ape Divine General!

Zhang Kui smiled slightly; the Guardian Ape Divine General was originally a powerful figure among the Desolate Gods, warring against the heavens and earth, even causing headaches for the Infinite Immortal Dynasty. Naturally, it was also one of the ancient beliefs of the Barbarian Ancient Race.

Could it be that the Three-Eyed Strange Bird is also one?

Filled with questions, Zhang Kui immediately performed the Tongyou Skill, observing the celestial realms and recognizing the land, to inspect the operation of the earth veins here.

In his pupils, the Tai Chi Diagram rotated slowly, instantly revealing the turbulent gathering of underground spirit veins, although in this harsh, cold place, the spiritual qi was continually surging and circulating.

Zhang Kui was not surprised; for it to become the Holy Mountain of the Ancient Race, it had its extraordinary aspects. Even without the setup of an array, it was a first-class spiritual land.

Could the Evil God Bird be hiding here?

Zhang Kui examined closely and suddenly discovered something odd.

The upper part of the iceberg seemed ordinary enough, but at the mountain's peak, amid the sparse breathable air of the extremely cold zone, was constructed a massive stone altar.

It was unlike the Starry Sky Evil God type; it looked more like the relics of an ancient tribe from the barbaric era, devoid of any power but still appearing solemn and majestic.

And within the snowy mountain peak, beneath the ancient ice of millennia, there was a half-collapsed ancient divine hall sealed underneath, further connected to a partially shattered altar.

It seemed somewhat familiar…

A light bulb flashed in Zhang Kui's mind, recalling the vision he had seen while exterminating the spirit of the Three-Eyed Strange Bird within the Original Sun True Fire: A magnificent red divine hall hovering above the vast, blazing solar orbit, countless bird shadows darting about, with scorching beams continuously emanating from the hall.

Celestial Essence Star actually had such an item!

Zhang Kui was alerted.

Moreover, this altar and divine hall indeed appeared somewhat peculiar.

It looked like ruins, lacking the spiritual light of treasures, but inside it was a blur, something seemingly trying hard to conceal…

In front, the Great Barbarian King took a deep breath, leading the team onward, continuously approaching the Holy Mountain while the huge ancient statues on both sides watched them blankly, as if the numerous past Desolate Gods were still gazing upon them.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the Great Barbarian King didn't climb the rugged snowy path but instead led the team to circle around the back.

Zhang Kui saw clearly that although these soldiers hesitated, no one dared to ask questions.

The back mountain was layered with glaciers that melted and refroze repeatedly.

With a series of turns, the Great Barbarian King led them to the front of an ice peak. First, he broke open his palm, followed by a fierce snarl, pressing a large bloody hand onto it.

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

The glacier trembled continuously, vast layers of snow and ice chunks slid off the Holy Mountain, creating a daunting spectacle, sending snow mist shooting up to hundreds of meters.

Both soldiers and slaves watched in utter shock, while the Great Barbarian King remained cold-faced, silently observing the ice peak.

Moments later, the intense tremor of the earth finally ceased, and a tens-of-meters-high ice cave appeared before everyone.

Dark and mysterious, leading to who knows where…

Such a place existed within the Holy Mountain!

A soldier sensed trouble but hesitated only to be frightened into a soul-crushing fright by the murderously cold glance from the Great Barbarian King, hastily driving the slaves onward until they gradually vanished into the Cold Ice Cave.

Without hesitation, Zhang Kui landed from the clouds and followed in.

The ice tunnel wound uphill endlessly, with soldiers in the lead lighting torches, suddenly illuminating the inside with a glaring brightness.

Unexpectedly, the surrounding ice walls formed who knows how, were smooth as mirrors, dreamlike under the torchlight.

Despite the stunning scenery, the team's atmosphere was depressing. The Great Barbarian King's face was grim, the weakened slaves were almost numb with cold, stumbling continuously, while the soldiers, also terrified, dared not speak a word.

After they had moved further away, Zhang Kui gradually revealed himself, reaching out to touch the smooth ice wall.

This thing seemed to have been instantly roasted by extremely high temperatures; it should be True Sun Fire.

It appeared that some remnants of power existed within that divine hall, thus enabling the excavation of the tunnel, the concealment of the entrance, and at some point, drawing in the Great Barbarian King. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Zhang Kui squinted slightly, withdrew his hand, and continued to follow.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at an enclosed space sealed by ice and snow; everyone opened their mouths wide in shock.

In the enormous hollow at the center, a damaged divine hall stood prominently; despite the many fractures, it still radiated brilliance, standing with commanding majesty.

This was a style of architecture never seen before, with a pointed rooftop, round platform, flying eaves, and arching beams, the entirety built from a kind of crimson crystal. Not a blade of grass grew in it; statues crafted from crystal stone had long been shattered, only massive claws remained, and a terrifying, oppressive aura continually emanated from within the hall.

"This is... the legendary Ancient Divine Hall!"

A soldier of the Ancient Race, filled with excitement, even forgot his status, breathing urgently, eagerly asking, "Lord Barbarian King, is this the legendary Ancient Divine Hall rumored to exist on the ice plains, from which anyone entering gains tremendous power, could it be..."

"That's correct."

The Great Barbarian King, Mogul, gave a strange smile, "The reason I was able to slay that powerful Nether Beast was because I gained power here, your chance has come!"

Although Zhang Kui had never heard of it, he could discern the reverence the so-called legend held among the soldiers of the Ancient Race.

"Thank you, Barbarian King!"

They gave a muddled thanks, then rushed inside recklessly, eyes burning with zeal, oblivious to all else.
