Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 302 - 279: Dark Cosmos, Divine Illusion Skill (Part 2)

Some planets are born with natural spirit charm and will nurture all things, giving rise to a natural Star Array.

The Underworld is the other side of the Mortal World, where the laws of Heaven and Earth differ slightly. The greatest feature is the extremely compressed distance between stars, making it the best path for traveling among the stars.

The origin of those strange creatures in the Underworld is unknown even to this small god; it is only known that after all living beings die, their souls return to the Underworld, where they are devoured by these things.

However, planets with spirit charm, their Star Array will simultaneously cover both the Underworld and the Mortal World, forming a cycle of Yin and Yang, endlessly growing. But this also attracts the mad attacks of the strange creatures from the Underworld. If the array is breached and souls devoured, over time, the entire planet will gradually wither and die.

Every time the Immortal Dynasty conquers a new Star Realm, they establish an Immortal Mansion to manage Yin and Yang, while also guarding against the strange creatures from the Underworld that break into the array.

So that's how it is...

Zhang Kui felt a chill in his heart; the Heavenly Dao was chaotic, and the Underworld on the Celestial Essence Star where he was had long since been breached, with countless strange creatures from the Underworld rampaging. Isn't it only a matter of time before they are doomed?

As for those Twelve All Heaven Immortal Monarchs, he also asked about them. In this world, after becoming Immortal, there are no detailed levels of division; those who can open up their own world are called Immortal Monarchs.

Like that All Heaven Battle Banner under the General's Tomb; its owner was Qianwu Immortal Monarch, who opened up a Colorless Heaven.

As for the capabilities of the Infinite Emperor, this small god simply did not know.

The conditions for becoming Immortal were also asked about, which involves something called Tao Fruit, considered an important secret of the Immortal Dynasty, used to control the immortals; this small god had never seen it before.

Within the grand hall, there was a moment of silence.

The various secrets of Heaven and Earth weighed heavily on Zhang Kui's mind, and even Tai Shi, who was accompanying him, had a gloomy expression.

After a while, Zhang Kui glanced at Fusheng, "Let's go back; in the future, you can stay by my side as an advisor. If there's a chance, are you willing to let me help you reshape your Divine Soul?"

"This small god is willing, this small god is willing!"

Fusheng was overjoyed, repeatedly expressing his gratitude, then enveloped in yellow mist returned to the Divine Statue, being collected into Zhang Kui's Personal Space.

Zhang Kui said nothing, looking out towards Kunlun Mountain, with the Taishi True God standing quietly by his side.

He knew that Zhang Kui was making a decision, whether or not to reveal these things.

The secret is too big; once mortals know, they will likely collapse immediately. But weren't the countless creatures of Central State, who built civilization upon ruins, also desperately seeking the truth of history?

"Forget it..."

Zhang Kui gazed at the towering Kunlun Mountain, "I once taught the human race of the Divine Continent to open their eyes to the world, and I will also let countless creatures know the darkness of the cosmos, born in adversity and dying in comfort. Only by persevering and establishing grand ambitions are they worthy of the name of the Kaiyuan era of our Divine Dynasty!"

"But before that..."

A fierce murderous intent appeared in Zhang Kui's eyes, "Let's clean up those scumbags first!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

...

Anqing State, below Yinling Mountain, the ruins of Haojing City.

Since discovering the invasion of the You Dynasty through the Underworld passage, this area had been designated as a Forbidden Zone, where various armies of the Divine Dynasty gathered, their battle flags fluttering, blood evil permeating, as the multitude of demons in the Celestial Pavilion stirred the Heaven and Earth with their immense Qi mechanism.

The fact that there were external invaders was no secret; although the Divine Land Array had enormous power, it was ultimately passive defense. Everyone knew they were waiting for the counterattack.

Because Sect Leader Zhang had already returned.

At this time, in the dungeon of the Divine Dynasty's military camp at Yinling Mountain, Zhang Kui was coldly watching the You Dynasty captives before him.

All of these people had their Dantian Qi Seas and meridians crippled, with God-Calming Needles piercing through their heads and rune iron locks through their chests.

It's not surprising that the Earth Pavilion cultivators were cautious, for the weakest among these were in the Divine Travel Realm, with three in the Mahayana Realm.

According to them, this was just an advance team of the You Dynasty. The fact that they dared to lead an army across the Underworld for an attack showed the formidable strength of the other side.

However, what Zhang Kui cared more about was the appearance of these people: hairless, ghastly pale like corpses, exuding a sinister Yin Qi, baring their fangs without a word, their eyes full of hatred.

The You Dynasty human corpse he saw on the Ghost Ship, though large in stature, still resembled a human. But over thousands of years, these people had collectively turned into monsters, likely related to their sacrificial practices with alien invaders.

Helian Boxiong's eyes were full of killing intent, "Sect Leader, these people's mouths are very tight, and their Divine Souls are bizarre and dark. We couldn't get anything out of them through interrogation; we might as well kill them to offer to the flag."

When it comes to torture and interrogation, every Military Cultivator is an expert. Zhang Kui knew Helian Boxiong had already done his best, and even Huo Yu with Double Pupils had come, but their illusion skills failed.

Zhang Kui coldly chuckled, "Don't worry, let me give it a try."

"Hahaha..."

The elder among the You Dynasty captives suddenly let out a hoarse laugh like a night owl, "Our Divine Souls have long been offered to the True God. What are you? Come on, kill us, and wait for your Eastern Continent to be blood-sacrificed collectively, hahaha..."

"Shut the hell up!"

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, and a flash of purple light appeared in his eyes. The You Dynasty captives immediately felt as if the sky and earth were darkening, and the entire world was spinning.

These guys' Divine Souls were peculiar, and they had already been on guard, which is why ordinary illusions failed.

But now Zhang Kui had achieved Great Success in the Seventy-Two Demons Technique, combining Soul Capture, Marriage Dream, and Nightmare Prayer Skill, with the Ascending Copy Skill enhancing the power; these captives were instantly ensnared.

Helian Boxiong looked dumbfounded as he saw Zhang Kui's eyes first radiate light, and then his right hand open, pulling out the captives' Divine Souls like smoke, rolling restlessly in his hand.

And as moonlight poured down, hazy visions began to appear in the dungeon.

Besides Helian Boxiong, there were two Sea Eye Great Demons nearby, both looking puzzled.

Zhang Kui calmly explained, "I captured their souls to manifest their illusions in the dream; whatever they think or see can all be displayed."

He spoke casually, but the others found it unfathomable, as such a combination of techniques was akin to a Divine Power.

In the vision, amidst a hazy fog, the You Dynasty captives formed a team and looked warily around.

"This is just an illusion, don't be deceived!"

The old priest said fiercely.

As soon as he spoke, the scene around them instantly changed, revealing a city shrouded in gloomy rain, with dark clouds rolling and thunder rumbling. Strange god towers stacked like dark forests, draped in black robes with the You Dynasty people moving through them, each with a somber face...

"What's… what's happening?"

One of the You Dynasty captives suddenly changed his face. "How did we get back to Wuwang City? If this is an illusion, how could that person know this scene?"

"Everyone stop thinking!"

The old priest roared in anger. Although he wasn't clear about the means Zhang Kui used, he found the critical point, concluding that it must have been someone's thoughts being projected out.

Zhang Kui gave a cold laugh as he looked at his palm.

How could his methods be so simple? This was a connected dream, where breaking the mental defense of one person would trigger a chain reaction.

Sure enough, an old man in a black robe, large in stature, and also ghastly pale suddenly appeared in the streets, exuding an aura even more sinister and vicious, "You dare return, did you become deserters!"

"Uladu Priest!"

Several You Dynasty captives were immediately frightened and knelt on the ground.

"Fake, it's all fake!"

The old priest shouted crazily, causing those who were about to kneel to hesitate.

"Insolence!"

The elder, known as Ural Priest, had black fingernails flickering with ghost fire, causing the captive old priest to scream repeatedly, green fire emerging from his body as he knelt on the ground.

"Yin Fire Soul Burning Technique!"

The others were startled and quickly knelt, thus all falling into the trap.

Ural Priest began questioning them; they could no longer distinguish reality from illusion and started spilling everything.

It turned out that this was all caused by Zhang Kui establishing the Divine Land Array.

Separated by a terrifying ocean between the continent of the You Dynasty and the Divine Continent, the powerful and domineering Sea Race waged constant war with the Nether Race.

Thousands of years ago, they attempted to explore the Divine Continent through the Sea Eye, but when no one returned, they gradually gave up the idea.

They worshipped an Evil God called the Dark God, constantly waging war and performing blood sacrifices with the Sea Race, gradually increasing their power, but all had turned into this appearance.

Zhang Kui's establishment of the Divine Land Array was like lighting a torch in the darkness, alarmed countless forces.

The You Dynasty was very interested, having accumulated strength over thousands of years, thus sending an army to traverse the Underworld, aiming to take over this Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

"Rest assured, Uladu Priest..."

By now, even the old priest had fallen into the trap, respectfully kneeling as he sinisterly said, "We have already established a base in the Underworld, lit the beacon, and the army will arrive soon. If the entire Eastern Continent's human race is blood-sacrificed, perhaps we might even summon the True God's clone, proclaiming our god's power..."

"Bullshit!"

A thunderous roar suddenly echoed between Heaven and Earth; Zhang Kui had lost his patience, purple evil light igniting in his palm, and in one fell swoop, crushed all the captives' souls into oblivion.

"Give the order, open the Underworld channel, counterattack!"
