Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 552 - 457: Battle of the Immortal Kings, Great Gains

This is a magic technique unique to the Star Beast or Insect Demon clan. The Longevity Immortal Monarch integrated it into the "Yinji Scripture", all parasites are treated as offspring, and of course, can be controlled.

He is simply a madman!

Zhang Kui cursed inwardly and quickly retreated.

The enormous head of the Longevity Immortal Monarch rose, blocking the entire path back. He could only retreat deeper into the Immortal Hall.

Fortunately, the target of this enormous head was not him.

Above the firmament, behind the boundless Evil Light, was the Cosmic Membrane, much more solidified and heavy compared to the falling half-complete version that the Blood God faced.

And through the Cosmic Membrane, the vast Star Sea could be seen, countless tentacles surging and rolling like a vast river, a terrifying white light tearing through the starry sky, shattering the tentacles as it moved upstream.

Immortal King Chi Chong!

Zhang Kui had an impulse to curse aloud.

No wonder, this aberrant monster of the Longevity Immortal Monarch was supposed to be in slumber, its tentacles instinctively extending to capture and kill the creatures invading the Eastern Star Realm.

And who knows what deep-seated grudges these two Immortal Kings held, one revives and immediately stirs trouble, awakening the other in the process.

Of course, these were just scenes grasped in an instant. Seeing it wasn’t targeted at him, Zhang Kui immediately ceased exploration and focused on concealing his aura.

The Immortal Hall ruins were expansive, and in that instant just now, when he released his divine sense, he realized it was even larger than the entire Divine Continent, floating like a floating island above the sea of clouds.

As the enormous head of the Longevity Immortal Monarch emerged from the clouds, the space trembled, countless fragments of crumbling walls fell, and the original array had nearly vanished, even the ground rumbled with large cracks visible everywhere, as if the entire island was about to disintegrate.

Zhang Kui hidden in the void was naturally unaffected; he dared not move as he watched that gigantic head rise.

Using Immortal Skills to explore from afar is one thing, but observing up close is another, as the bizarre, mad, terrifying Qi Mechanism continuously impacted his Divine Soul. The Divine Protection Skill activated spontaneously, forming a black halo around him while the third eye on his forehead suddenly opened, filled with bloodshot pain as if being torn apart, but it also prevented him from falling into madness.

Starry Sky Dominator?

No, the Longevity Immortal Monarch had long since ascended to another level of existence!

Zhang Kui gritted his teeth and endured without regret for daring to venture here; otherwise, he wouldn’t know such a terrifying entity lurked here.

He now only needed an opportunity, to find a way to quickly escape during the battle between these two terrifying monsters.

Boom!

The black thunder in the firmament grew even denser, and with a loud noise, the Cosmic Membrane was suddenly torn open, and the cosmic starlight was right in front of him.

Simultaneously, a thunderous voice came from the starry sky, leaving Zhang Kui’s head stunned.

"Hahaha... Luo Changsheng!"

"Despite being known as the most cunning and strategic, you actually believed that old fool’s lies, half-crazy and half-mad, how can you escape the great calamity?"

It’s Immortal King Chi Chong!

Zhang Kui clenched his teeth and did not look up.

At this moment, all the Qi Mechanisms of the two monsters exploded; let alone using Immortal Skills to explore, just glancing would make his Divine Soul feel like it’s going to tear apart.

This was complete level suppression; a mortal would be scared to death seeing a Mahayana Realm Demon explode, similarly, if an Immortal faces such monsters surpassing two levels, it would cause irreparable damage.

"Roar!"

Indeed, as Immortal King Chi Chong said, after the Longevity Immortal Monarch’s transformation, he was utterly insane, merely giving an unconscious roar in the face of provocation.

At such close range, even the Divine Protection Skill couldn’t withstand it. The black light on Zhang Kui’s body completely shattered. Fortunately, within his Little World, the Celestial Gang and Earth Demon stars burst into brilliant light.

At the same time, a sudden change occurred.

In the Netherworld Realm, Zhang Kui had once subdued one hundred and eight Ancient Divine Statues in the Ancient Netherworld, suspected to be the Supreme Treasure of the previous era.

These Ancient Divine Statues contained the "Black Calamity," capable of eroding all Power of Laws, and with the Celestial Gang and Earth Demon Star laws, Zhang Kui had made them recognize him as their master, though usually, they were hidden in his Little World, hard to mobilize.

It seemed they were stimulated by the Qi Mechanisms of the two old monsters, and one by one, the obsidian-like divine statues’ foreheads flashed with the Celestial Gang and Earth Demon Star, slowly opening blood-red eyes.

As these divine statues opened their eyes, a vast amount of "Black Calamity" immediately surged out, quickly permeating and spreading throughout the entire Little World.

Zhang Kui was shocked. He hadn’t forgotten the terror of this thing; it was the defensive Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Netherworld, capable of eradicating thousands of laws and even capable of exterminating the Ancient Relic Race that once dominated ancient times.

Various signs indicated that the Netherworld Realm might be the Underworld of a previous cosmic epoch, while the Ancient Netherworld was the place of reincarnation for countless cosmic beings, stronger than the Immortal King Cave Heaven, only now having fallen into decay.

Since acquiring these divine statues, Zhang Kui had always struggled to use them freely, even when mustering all his Mana he could only summon one, using it like a giant puppet to smash people, hence he seldom used them, merely refining them with the existing Celestial Gang and Earth Demon stars for individual recognition.

Now that the "Black Calamity" reappeared, would it not completely obliterate his Little World into nothingness?

However, just when Zhang Kui was nearly in despair, something bizarre happened:

Those divine statues slowly rose, occupying different positions within the Little World based on the Celestial Gang and Earth Demon stars on their respective foreheads.

Zhang Kui’s Little World was centered around the Golden Core within his body, with the Celestial Gang and Earth Demon stars as the framework for suppression. As these Ancient Divine Statues took their positions, god and demon images appeared more stably within the Little World.

At the same time, the surging "Black Calamity" also flowed throughout the entire Little World, even assimilating with the Light of Silent Extinction, forming a black light around him, blocking all the Qi Mechanisms emanating from the two Immortal King old monsters.

Zhang Kui was dumbfounded, but he gradually came to an understanding.

These Ancient Divine Statues were the defensive Supreme Treasure of the Ancient Netherworld. Through a serendipitous combination of circumstances, using the Celestial Gang and Earth Demon stars and being pressured by the Qi Mechanisms of the two terrifying old monsters, he had integrated them into his own Little World, turning them into his protective Supreme Treasure.

This assembled thing could suppress an entire realm; what consequences might there be from integrating it into the Little World?

Zhang Kui had no idea, but at this point, his Divine Soul was no longer suppressed by the Qi Mechanisms of the two Immortal King old monsters.

Boom!

Above the firmament, the two Immortal King old monsters finally began their battle.

This was no longer the application of Law Domains between Immortal Levels, but a clash of two cosmoses, countless gray chaotic air descended from the sky, making the entire Immortal King Cave Heaven rumble and grow increasingly chaotic.

Zhang Kui, no longer fearing the Immortal King might, simply used the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill to investigate.

He finally saw the appearance of Immortal King Chi Chong.

It was a hundred-meter-tall giant, with three eyes on the forehead, a formidable, rugged face brimming with domineering aura, clad in an ancient Crystal Armor, and with a wave of his hand, the starry sky trembled, everything around seemed to shatter.

Zhang Kui’s scalp tingled at the sight, adhering to the old spirit’s words; the Unattainable Heaven’s refined physical body was unparalleled under heaven; this guy had likely reached the Extreme Realm of Power, capable of destroying everything with just his physique.

What was even more terrifying was that his physique was similarly enveloped by the Cosmic Membrane. Though its area was not large, all laws were solidified into nothingness, and countless tentacles disintegrated instantly upon entry.

The Longevity Immortal Monarch was similarly matchless.

Within the Cave Heaven appeared bizarre spatial disturbances; Zhang Kui watched dumbfounded as in some places the Immortal Hall was restored, shadows of people multiplied, laughter filled the air, while in other places it became even more dilapidated, with grotesque Underworld flesh tumors wriggling slowly...

This level of battle was beyond his imagination!

Rumble...

The entire island of the Immortal Hall ruins finally completely collapsed, a mass of soil and stones splattered, pavilions and towers built of Cave Heaven Divine Crystal tilted and fell, plunging into the thick clouds.

Zhang Kui’s eyes flashed with a gleam, as he gritted his teeth and continued to traverse through the void, collecting those Cave Heaven Divine Crystals and ruined Immortal Halls into his Little World.

He came here specifically for these countless Divine Materials; as they say, fortune favors the bold, and with these two old monsters evenly matched, none dared relax, probably a chance never to be found again.

Countless Cave Heaven Divine Crystals were gathered into his Little World, soon piling into mountains; this was unimaginable harvest, multiplying what the Divine Dynasty had acquired in the past several dozen times in a short period.

Soon, the ground was completely plundered bare, the rest had long since fallen into the sea of clouds, and Zhang Kui, glancing at the endlessly erupting chaotic air in the firmament, gritted his teeth and plunged into the dense black cloud sea...
