Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 553 - 458: Corpse Traces Reappear, Grotto Heaven’s Strangeness

Thunderclouds rolled, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Zhang Kui felt as if he had returned to Thundercloud Star, or perhaps something even more terrifying. The clouds coming towards him were formed from evil qi, inherently filled with a shocking killing intent.

Such things, if they appeared in the outer world, would corrode gold and wear away copper easily, and if any mortal cultivator accidentally touched it, they would instantly dissolve into pus.

Of course, Zhang Kui, now dwelling in the void, was completely unaffected, feeling as if he were living in two separate worlds, delving deep into the cloud layers.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One after another, the ruins of Cave Heaven Divine Crystals were collected into his Little World, piled up like mountains, radiating brilliant divine light, as mysterious aura continuously permeated.

Above his head, even through over a thousand meters of thick cloud layers, the terrifying aura of two Immortal Kings fiercely battling kept falling down, causing the thunderclouds to continuously riot, like doomsday.

Nonetheless, Zhang Kui was in a very joyful mood.

So many Cave Heaven Divine Crystals, almost emptying Immortal King Cave Heaven, were enough to be used for a long time by Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty.

He moved quickly, collecting all the fallen divine crystal ruins in the time it takes to brew a pot of tea. Although there were still many fragments, they were too scattered to carefully gather.

However, just as he was about to leave, the central golden ball controlling the Immortal King Tower suddenly shot out from his body, gleaming with gold and swiftly flying deeper.

"Stop!"

Zhang Kui’s eyes narrowed, showing a murderous intent.

He hadn’t expected the Immortal King Tower’s central component to stir up trouble at this moment.

This thing undoubtedly had a spirit, but it was a rigid Artifact Spirit, always obedient even while controlling the entire Immortal King Tower.

This time the passage to Longevity Cave Heaven suddenly opened, which already seemed unusual, and now it was out of control, perhaps it had fallen into a trap?

He could not forget, this item had an eerie origin, left behind during the Longevity Immortal Monarch’s madness while gazing upon the river of time, necessitating caution.

Buzz!

Seemingly sensing his murderous intent, the central golden ball of Immortal King Tower suddenly halted, flying back to him, transmitting a strong emotion of desire.

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes, "Is there something below?"

The central golden ball of Immortal King Tower suddenly brightened, even showing some impatience.

Seeing this, Zhang Kui also became interested.

The central golden ball was still under control. He had seen such circumstances during "Longevity" evolution, perhaps something below could advance the Immortal King Tower further?

Zhang Kui stood in the void, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Above, two old monsters were engaged in battle. Though he used Stand Without Shadow Immortal Skill, the gap in realm was tremendous, and he could be discovered at any moment.

Yet the Immortal King Tower was crucial.

Not only could it suppress demons and freeze time as a lifeline, but it also helped clear mysterious and eerie imprints within him, and could propel the entire Divine Dynasty’s cultivation...

What exactly was below?

Zhang Kui had a feeling that the madness of Longevity Immortal Monarch was terrifying, but the Deceit Immortal Path itself was inherently flawed. If truly defeated, the destruction of Immortal King Cave Heaven might forever miss the opportunity.

Thinking of this, he hesitated no longer, instantly accelerating and endlessly shifting, speeding towards the infinite abyss...

...

The Underworld starry sky was crimson and boundless, the nebulas were strange and colorful.

The massive Celestial Essence Star Realm flashed with silver light, speeding forward, the core of Earth Evil Silver Lotus sent Yin Yang True Fire soaring into the sky, causing the surrounding void to tremble.

Star Shining Thunderfire Shuttle sped along the orbit, with lightning flashing and occasionally making a huge roar, blasting all the attracted Underworld anomalies along the way into ashes.

The cities at the foot of each Spirit Mountain remained quiet.

Although that terrifying heartbeat had disappeared, sailing through the Underworld starry sky, even with the Grand Array’s protection, mortal beings could not stay for long, lest their Divine Souls suffer damage, they could only remain in the Divine Dynasty’s dream realm.

Of course, the cultivators of the Divine Dynasty Fleet and Celestial Pride Team were long accustomed, orbiting around the Celestial Essence Star Realm on starships, defending and patrolling.

Tens of thousands of starships flew magnificently, from afar, it seemed as if halos were burning around the Earth Evil Silver Lotus.

Dragon-Body Centipede flagship.

Helian Wei stood in full uniform on the bridge, a huge star map glowed before her, Tai Shi Golden Body hovered expressionlessly in the air.

"No danger detected ahead..."

"Side wing safe!"

"Rear normal..."

This was Celestial Pavilion Immortal Level piloting Divine Crystal Immortal Ship for exploration.

After numerous battles, though Celestial Pride talents continued to emerge, Helian Wei’s command ability had already been widely acknowledged, even Immortal Level big shots sincerely followed her directions.

Certainly, the Divine Dynasty Fleet was even more disciplined, their military discipline refined under her training, functioning as one using the Divine Path network.

"In half a month we will leave Longevity Star Realm..."

Helian Wei pondered as she studied the star map, finally turning to Tai Shi and inquiring, "Tai Shi True God, upon leaving the Star Realm, we will enter the Endless Void, should we proceed to other star realms, or wander in the void, did the Sect Leader leave any instructions?"

Tai Shi’s gaze remained indifferent, "No."

Helian Wei frowned slightly, "The Sect Leader suddenly went into seclusion, it has been half a month now, and we don’t know what has happened..."

She cautiously probed, but Tai Shi still remained expressionless.

Helian Wei felt a wave of frustration, Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty was founded on the Human Race Divine Path, although the Divine Path didn’t interfere with the dynasty’s operations, allowing many cultivators and talents to fully demonstrate their capabilities, this obliviousness was indeed infuriating.

Unless it was a matter concerning the life and death of the dynasty, she could probably never ascertain the Sect Leader’s whereabouts from the Divine Path.

At this moment, a Demon Immortal’s spectral image suddenly appeared, speaking gravely, "Marshal Helian, there is an anomaly at the left wing forward."

As he spoke, a portion of the spectral image instantly manifested:

It revealed a vast starry sky, densely scattered with the wreckage of starships, an expanse of deathly silence.
