Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 555 - 459: Longevity Immortal Monarch, Ten Thousand Years of Scheming

"Who’s there?!"

Zhang Kui’s hair stood on end as he instantly teleported away.

With his current cultivation level, to have someone silently approach him from behind, especially in such a dire situation, was truly alarming.

Buzz!

With Zhang Kui’s qi mechanism erupting, the world immediately fell into turmoil. The gray-white dense fog, containing the Time Law, surged and churned, while a layer of black halo enveloped his surroundings.

This was the manifestation of the "Black Calamity," capable of eroding all the laws of heaven and earth. As the dense fog drew near, it sizzled into nothingness.

At the same time, Zhang Kui saw the visitor.

It was a youth dressed in a lavish blue and white Taoist robe, with a crown on his head. His face was as precious as jade, his eyes like stars, exuding extraordinary nobility, his whole body almost an illusion.

Evil Spirit? Immortal Resentment?

He had never seen such a thing before. It seemed like the remains of a divine spirit, or perhaps just a lingering shadow. It barely fluctuated, yet stood unharmed in such a deadly place.

Oddly enough, the figure’s gaze was vacant, and there was not a trace of hostility, merely standing still in the void.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Kui squinted slightly, probing with his question.

The shadow remained motionless.

Zhang Kui snorted coldly and rapidly retreated. This place was unusual, and with two terrifying old monsters fighting outside, he decided it would be wise to leave early, even if it meant forgoing an opportunity.

However, what made his scalp tingle was that the shadow tenaciously followed him. No matter how he teleported or traversed with light, it always appeared close by.

"Courting death!"

Without a second thought, Zhang Kui’s "Eyes of Eternal Life" on his forehead suddenly opened, surging forth with rolling black light, causing the surrounding space to rumble.

Since subduing those ancient divine statues, under the pressure of the terrifying aura of the two old monsters, it merged entirely with the Little World, and the "Black Calamity" became controllable.

His original black Light of Silent Extinction had the power to erode laws, and the two seemed to have merged. As a result, the black light from the "Eyes of Eternal Life" became increasingly terrifying, with the power to annihilate all.

Boom!

A long black light swept out, even slicing through the entire white fog space, leaving a black mark in its wake. The void’s rift lingered incessantly.

The unknown remnant was also annihilated.

However, in the blink of an eye, it appeared even closer.

This thing couldn’t be killed?!

Zhang Kui frowned, looking around with heavy eyes as if in contemplation. This thing seemed to reside within this Immortal King Cave Heaven, difficult to eradicate unless the entire cave heaven was destroyed.

Just then, the central golden ball of the Immortal King Tower within him shot out again, drilling straight into the youth’s shadow, absorbing it entirely like a vortex.

Everything fell silent.

The eerie remnant vanished completely, and the central golden ball flew back, landing gently in Zhang Kui’s palm.

So this remnant was the opportunity...

Although Zhang Kui was bewildered, he didn’t linger.

The sounds of the two old monsters battling outside grew louder, reaching the depths of this space, with terrifying space rifts visibly spreading like a spiderweb.

Whoosh!

Zhang Kui quickly took off, rapidly ascending while performing space shifting to evade the void rifts.

With little regard for concealment, he burst through the cloud sea in an instant, his pupils constricting sharply as he looked at the sky above.

Just as expected, in his frenzied state, the Longevity Immortal Monarch was slightly inferior. Though Immortal King Chi Chong was smaller, his cosmic membrane was vastly smaller than the Longevity Immortal Monarch’s Cave Heaven, yet far more stable.

The two universes collided madly, forsaking all magic and Immortal Path. The entire Immortal King Cave Heaven grew increasingly unstable, with dense void rifts like a web, as if the entire sky was on the verge of shattering.

"Damn!"

Zhang Kui cursed inwardly and immediately headed back the way he came.

At the last moment of entering the Immortal King Tower space entrance, he saw Longevity Immortal Monarch’s mutated massive head being pierced through by Immortal King Chi Chong, resulting in utter silence with terrifying light spreading instantly...

Boom!

In the Immortal King Great Hall, the white rift light sphere leading to the Cave Heaven abruptly shattered, winds howling and shockwaves rolling.

Zhang Kui’s robes fluttered as he silently observed it all.

He knew, the Longevity Immortal Monarch had been utterly defeated. This Immortal King Cave Heaven, passed down from ancient times, had returned to nothingness.

The Immortal King Cave Heaven, established by seizing Great Path laws, if things proceed as expected, the Longevity Star Realm would be fully liberated, the Immortal Path renewed. Even without the Earth Evil Silver Lotus forming its own space, all divine spirits in the Star Realm could become immortals without obstruction.

However, he couldn’t bring himself to be happy.

An ancient past has faded away, but something even more ferocious has successfully revived, and the Celestial Essence Star Realm is already on its way to the Endless Void.

No one knows what kind of turmoil the resurrected Immortal King Chi Chong will bring to this cosmos...

At this moment, Zhang Kui’s mind stirred as he spread his palm open, and the central golden ball of the golden Immortal King Tower slowly flew out. Endless divine light scattered, gradually forming a golden human figure, precisely the young man’s residual shadow from earlier,

"Who are you?"

Zhang Kui had now become calm, with a vague suspicion in his heart.

Sure enough, the young man’s eyes were initially confused, but finally, his pupils gradually gained clarity. He looked around and with a tender face, let out an ancient voice:

"I am... Luo Changsheng..."

...

The scarlet starry sky of the Netherworld is filled with stars of all sizes.

Unlike the Mortal World, where stars are separated by vast distances and only a little starlight can be seen in the dark, in the Netherworld the stars are much closer, making it a great place to view the magnificent cosmos if it weren’t for the peculiarities of the Netherworld.

Of course, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty has no interest at all.

Hundreds of Divine Crystal Immortal Ships and tens of thousands of Divine Dynasty Fleets, working with the Taishi True God of Kunlun Mountain’s towering golden body, fully expand the All Heaven Star Array, obscuring the rapidly moving Celestial Essence Star Realm.

"There is no movement at all..."

Yuan Huang frowned as he looked at the star map on the stargazing disc in front of him. "The attack on those people occurred several days ago. Could the Netherworld Realm Master’s demon corpse have already left the Longevity Star Realm?"

Helian Wei pondered, "Keep moving, even if we slow down we cannot dismantle the grand array..."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The entire starry sky suddenly echoed with a strange sound, like a great bell ringing, like the heavens and earth resonating together, as a wave swept through at an unimaginable speed, ultimately returning to calm.

"What was that?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a spectacle, although that ripple had no lethality, it spanned in all directions, heading into the depths of the distant starry sky, as if sweeping across the entire cosmos.

Subsequently, more and more people looked at their palms, initially confused, gradually filled with shock.

"The Heaven and Earth Laws seem to..."

"That’s right, just like in the Celestial Essence New Realm, the Immortal Path continues!"

"What happened?"

...

While everyone was in shock, Zhang Kui, who had returned to the hall of the Immortal King Tower, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the young man before him.

"Luo Changsheng... Longevity Immortal Monarch?"

The young man glanced around calmly, "That is indeed me."

"And what about that earlier?"

"Just a blinding skill..."

The young man spoke while lightly waving his hand, causing transparent flames to rise again within the hall, the very Fire of Time that Zhang Kui had seen before.

These flames burned fiercely, enveloping the two of them and filling the entire hall, erasing the traces of the space rift explosion in the Cave Heaven Cosmos. It was as if the violent winds and terrifying airwaves had never occurred.

Zhang Kui silently watched all of this.

It was the first time he had seen such a terrifying transparent flame while conscious, its power beyond comprehension, capable of erasing traces so thoroughly that even time itself did not exist.

As the transparent flames gradually extinguished, Zhang Kui’s expression became extremely grave, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

A scheme laid over millennia, feigning madness, even willing to remain in the world as a remnant thought, deceiving another Immortal King with a feigned death...

What could make an Immortal King so cautious?

Facing Zhang Kui’s scrutinizing gaze, the young man Luo Changsheng remained calm, "What do you want to know?"

Zhang Kui took a deep breath, "Everything!"

The young man Luo Changsheng remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Have you ever thought that this world, the cosmos, and all things within, are not natural?"

As he spoke, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes:

"Once, I was just a young cultivator, who luckily encountered a master amid life and death crises, traveling across the Star Sea for millennia, gaining many fellow disciples."

"At that time, the Star Space was filled with endless conflict, and we disciples gradually developed the idea of ending the chaos, bringing order to the heavens and earth, so that all things return to their rightful places."

"Our master initially disagreed, but at the time we had already attained the position of Starry Sky Dominator, disregarding his counsel, and set out to establish the Infinite Immortal Dynasty everywhere."

"Unexpectedly, it planted the seeds of a colossal calamity..."
