Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 573 - 477: Schemes Unfold, Buddha Corpse of the Pure Land

"Immortal King inheritance?"

Zhang Kui’s expression changed, immediately sensing something ominous.

An Immortal King can subdue an entire Star Realm; such an inheritance is indeed extraordinary, no wonder it could attract so many factions.

According to the information gathered from the old monk Rama, these three factions each have a powerful presence. Gaining this inheritance would instantly grant them the position of Starry Sky Dominator.

But if it were to fall into the hands of that Evil God Black Ming King, it would spell a horrifying disaster. The Longevity Star Realm has been occupied by Immortal King Chi Chong; could it be that this place too will become a dead zone?

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui quickly informed Luo Changsheng.

Inside the Immortal King Tower’s great hall, Luo Changsheng sat cross-legged, his brows slightly furrowed, "Qianwu cultivates the Path of Light, capable of utilizing any Immortal Light and Evil Light. Though not the top in killing power among the Twelve Immortal Monarchs, its life-preserving abilities are extraordinary, capable of transforming into a multitude, and in the Colorless Star Realm, can resurrect its Divine Soul with even a sliver of light."

"There might be more behind this matter..."

"Predecessor is right."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly in agreement.

The Twelve Immortal Monarchs command the Immortal Dynasty; none of them are pushovers.

He has now seen three of them: Longevity Immortal Monarch faking death to hunt the mastermind, Immortal King Chi Chong planning for a revival with increased power, and even the most unfortunate Immortal Monarch Duan You has transformed into the Evil God Dark God.

To say Qianwu didn’t leave any last measures is something he dare not believe.

At this moment, Black Dragon, who had been subjected to the Soul Capture technique, slowly awoke, intending to escape, only to find himself still paralyzed and unable to move, feeling even more terrified.

Who is this Daoist before him, with such terrifying skills?

"Upper... Upper Immortal, spare me..."

Poof!

Black Dragon had no time to beg for mercy before he became rigid, eyes unfocused, and all his Qi Mechanism collapsed, the source of his poisonous fire expanding and contracting.

Zhang Kui’s eyes were cold, showing no pity.

These Star Thieves follow the path of devouring, like locusts of the void, leaving nothing alive in their wake; killing many wouldn’t be unjust.

The Soul Capture technique not only confuses but can also extract Divine Souls. Just moments ago, he had extinguished Black Dragon’s Divine Soul, and the opponent’s Little World was on the brink of collapse.

Boom!

Within the Star Thief Fleet, a small starship suddenly exploded, green poisonous fire spreading like a tide, causing all starship shells it touched to corrode and shatter, triggering a chain of explosions.

"Damn, hurry and run!"

"It’s that damn Black Dragon, must be losing control and the source collapsing."

"Damn it, I knew he couldn’t master the poisonous fire."

"What are you waiting for, seize the source!"

Confusion erupted among the Star Thief Fleet.

In the massive sword-shaped flagship of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, several imposing figures looked on indifferently, eyes full of disdain.

"Hmph, clowns jumping around."

"Trying to seize the Immortal King inheritance, it’s the path to death!"

"Ignore them, the hall master orders not to act before the matter is clarified, lest those Deceitful Immortals take advantage."

At the central throne of the flagship, a three-eyed Immortal clad in Golden Armor, with a bluish complexion, looked coldly at the few below, saying: "You Daoists are right, the origins of that Evil God Black Ming King are mysterious, this Buddha Land seems to be tainted by him; we should first figure out the source of the Evil God’s power. Master Lian Sheng, I’m counting on you."

With his words, a light cluster below slowly dissipated, revealing an Ancient Race True Buddha, surrounded by golden brilliance, sitting on a lotus platform, each of his six arms holding a bell, a Demon-Subduing Pestle, and other Magical Artifacts.

"Lian Sheng accepts the order!"

After a flash of golden light, the Ancient Race’s Golden Buddha vanished. Meanwhile, within the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm’s fleet, dozens of sword-shaped starships also emitted dazzling brilliance, swiftly heading toward the Buddha Land.

On the other side, within the flagship of the Deceitful Immortal Fleet, several imposing figures also shifted their gaze away from the Star Thief Fleet.

"The Celestial Craft Immortal Realm has sent their people."

"No rush, they want to figure out the source of Black Ming King’s power; we only need the foundation of the Buddha Land. Let those nosy bastards have a taste first..."

"Hahaha, you are right, sir."

If Zhang Kui were here, he would surely be surprised to find that among them, a man in a blue robe and silver armor, with a black halo behind him laced with blood-red patterns, was none other than the previous leader of the Longevity Star Realm’s Deceitful Immortals, True Monarch Yinghai.

True Monarch Yinghai now completely lacked his former ambitious spirit, standing cautiously at the end and remaining silent.

After the chaos of the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, Immortal King Chi Chong was resurrected, his might suppressed the entire star realm, and all forces fled in panic, True Monarch Yinghai being no exception.

After entering the Endless Void, unlike the Celestial Essence Star Realm’s extended recuperation, True Monarch Yinghai, along with his subordinates, headed straight to the Colorless Star Realm, attempting to rise again.

However, the situation was not what he had anticipated.

For years, he had been cultivating the "Yinji Scripture," trying to evolve a new race, uniting the Divine Path and the Immortal Path to reach the pinnacle, avoiding a major calamity.

Yet these deceitful immortals of the Colorless Star Realm had early on seen through the "Yinji Scripture" trap, fully researching the Underworld’s anomalies, charting a different path.

They not only could drive the black tide to form domains, but also integrate immortal-level Underworld anomalies with starships, merging with themselves to evolve into various exotic skills.

Poor True Monarch Yinghai, once a hero with lofty ambitions, now turned into a pitiable creature who was taken in and scolded by everyone.

"Lord Yinghai..."

A mocking voice interrupted True Monarch Yinghai’s thoughts, and he saw a deceitful immortal of the Insect Race with pure black compound eyes laughing, "Though we only need Buddha Land materials, if Celestial Craft Immortal Realm takes the initiative, I’m afraid True Monarch Wuwang will also blame you."

"Lord Yinghai’s illustrious reputation is renowned, so why not go investigate first?"

True Monarch Yinghai’s eyes were cold, gazing at the deceitful immortal of the Insect Race for a while before nodding slightly and turning away, soon leading his subordinates to pilot the starship straight towards the Buddha Land.

As soon as he left, the deceitful immortal of the Insect Race snorted coldly, "Hmph, a dog with no home, the world has long changed, yet he still thinks he is the former True Monarch, doesn’t know what’s good for him!"

"Alright, don’t be angry."

The deceitful immortal beside him smiled and persuaded, "After all, he once did a favor for Lord True Monarch Wuwang, and besides, the Buddha Land has been infected by the Black Ming King, whether he can come out alive is still questionable."

"That’s also true, hahaha..."

Meanwhile, the star thief fleet, which had ended the chaos, also dispatched dozens of starships heading straight for Buddha Land, while inside True Monarch Yinghai’s flagship, many subordinates were filled with indignation.

"Lord Yinghai, they went too far!"

"Clearly, they want us to die!"

"Lord, why don’t we leave and seek another path..."

Facing the anger of his subordinates, True Monarch Yinghai’s eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Enough, shut up everyone!"

"The Longevity Old Man concocted a fake ’Yinji Scripture,’ wasting our ten thousand years, and Wuwang is but a dog with no home, this time releasing news of the Immortal Monarch inheritance, luring Celestial Craft Immortal Realm and star thieves to attack Black Ming King, it must be a scheme."

"Since we have set foot on the path of deceitful immortals, the Immortal Monarch inheritance is useless to us, that wretch must have discovered a way to counter the great calamity, endure it all, who laughs last is still uncertain!"

"Yes, Lord!"

...

Not mentioning the intricate plots among these three forces, after arousing chaos, Zhang Kui quietly arrived at the Buddha Land ahead of time.

This Holy Silence Pure Land was a vast circular island, with golden temples layer upon layer at the central continent, surrounding a gigantic seated Buddha statue that soared into the clouds, radiating golden light, coupled with the surging spiritual sea around the continent, it somewhat resembled Asgard in the past life’s movies.

As Zhang Kui just approached, he sensed something was amiss.

According to the information from the elder monk Rama, there should have originally been hundreds of giant star beasts imprisoned beneath the island for traversing the void, but now it was deserted, leaving only broken chains.

The outer array of the Holy Silence Pure Land still remained, and seen from afar, many temples still flickered with the glow of array spirit light, but it was all empty and silent.

Yet the strangeness was this: Since it had already suffered calamity here, why had the enemy not completely destroyed the Buddha Land?

At this moment, Zhang Kui’s eyes slightly moved as he looked back to see Celestial Craft Immortal Realm already sending starships through.

He had no time for second thoughts, instantly flashing inside.

And at the moment he entered the Holy Silence Pure Land, the originally bright golden Buddha Land instantly transformed before his eyes, with eerie winds howling, and the world dim and dark, as if returning to the Underworld.

The spiritual sea surrounding the continent had also become murky and decayed, with numerous black true Buddha corpses floating above, their faces hideous, filled with resentment.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Kui slightly frowned, encountering such a bizarre area for the first time, able to deceive the Dharma Eye, presenting different scenes inside and out.

From the Black Dragon, he learned that this Buddha Land should have been struck by Black Ming King’s evil hands, hence the terrifying turmoil.

What is this Black Ming King really about?

At this moment, the numerous hideous Buddha corpses on the murky spiritual sea suddenly opened their blood-red eyes, staring fixedly at Zhang Kui hiding in the void...
