Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 307 - 282: Earth Monarch’s Star Orbit, Clash on a Narrow Path

Chapter 307: Chapter 282: Earth Monarch’s Star Orbit, Clash on a Narrow Path

On the dim, vast Gobi Desert, the ghostly winds howled. Large white bones, now fossilized, lay scattered, while the remains of starships, some large, some small, were half-buried in the sand. Occasionally, peculiar entities from the Underworld could be seen scurrying about...

Witnessing this scene, the group of demons was utterly shocked, unable to utter a word for a long while.

"Ancient battlefield..."

Yuan Huang murmured to himself.

The Great Venerate Toad sniffed, suddenly realizing something. His large eyes gleamed, "These... are all treasures..."

The group of demons suddenly understood.

Zhang Kui, adept in array and artifact refining, having modified the Dragonbone Divine Ship, could perhaps turn these items from trash to treasure in the future.

Yuan Huang’s expression suddenly became grave, his eyes flashing with bloodlight, "Let’s accelerate our pace, survey the expanse of this battlefield, and find that You Dynasty army, lest they destroy this place!"

As he spoke, the Dragonbone Divine Ship streaked out a golden light, gradually vanishing into the darkness...

...

Hehehe, hahaha...

Strange laughter echoed through the ancient and vast hall.

The Immortal Fiend had turned its head, its face blank, featureless, disappearing in a flash and reappearing not far away.

Zhang Kui, having encountered this entity at Profound Yin Mountain, knew it as a phenomenon left by deceased Immortal Gods, divided into divine resentment and Immortal Fiend.

Beside him, Fusheng shrank his neck and complained, "Why is this here? It’s the grudge of an Immortal before death, very troublesome."

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, "You scoundrel, with a sinister appearance of Three Heads and Six Arms, and as the Demon Suppression Marshal, how can you be so timid?"

Fusheng laughed awkwardly, "I won’t hide it from you, Upper Immortal. It’s only because a genius from our race earned the Immortal King’s favor, and I took care of him often, that I got the opportunity."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly, noting that divine positions can be gained through connections, indicating many loopholes exist in this Ancient Divine Path.

In their conversation, the Immortal Fiend once again vanished, suddenly closing in on them.

"Courting death!"

Zhang Kui’s eyes widened suddenly, the "Eyes of Eternal Life" on his forehead opened, and the Silent Extinction Black Light enveloped the Immortal Fiend.

This divine power of his was particularly adept at dealing with such beings. Although it was in the Underworld, this Immortal Fiend was not much stronger than the ones on Profound Yin Mountain, and in a moment, it was disintegrated, its Immortal Charm devoured.

Fusheng watched on, his Divine Soul trembling. Though he held a low position in the Immortal Dynasty, he had heard of such things.

Not yet an Immortal, yet possessing such domineering divine power, even during the Immortal Dynasty’s dominion over the world, an Immortal Official would have likely come to greet him immediately.

Thankfully, I reacted quickly...

Zhang Kui was, of course, unaware of the thoughts of the divine remnant soul beside him. His gaze soon focused on the white bones there.

These had become fossilized and aggregated together, much like the Dragon Bone under the East Sea, void of Spirit Charm. Some were horned demons, others were large humanoid figures, while some resembled beetles. It was hard to distinguish who belonged to the Immortal Dynasty and who were alien invaders.

After all, according to the murals back then, all sorts of demons made up most of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, with the rest mostly being Ancient Race.

Most of the armor and weapons within had decayed, not preserved as Ancient Artifacts. Through inquiry, he learned that during the Infinite Immortal Dynasty’s dominion, there was no concept of Ancient Artifacts, indicating they only appeared after the ancient cosmic battles.

Seeing this, he hesitated no more, stamping his foot on the ground. The temple echoed with a rumble, and all the bones within were instantly shattered into dust, smoke, and debris swirling about.

With a wave of his large sleeve, the Wind Manipulation Skill was employed, and a fierce wind arose, cleanly blowing away all the smoke and dust.

Zhang Kui strode in boldly, "Eyes of Eternal Life" and Silent Extinction Black Light howling forth with the sound of wind and thunder. An array in the Earth Monarch’s Great Hall rose with a dark light, clashing and hissing. Before long, it was ground away.

The hall opened, revealing a deity statue over a hundred meters tall, dressed as a Daoist. Hand poised in a spell, a massive stone disc symbolizing the circle of light behind, its visage fierce and solemn, twin pairs of sharp horns on its forehead resembling a daemon.

Fusheng quickly introduced, "This Earth Monarch was originally an Immortal General under the Longevity Immortal Monarch, enshrined as a god after falling in battle, overseeing all matters of the Celestial Essence Star. The statue shattered, the Divine Light no more, indicating his fall back then."

Zhang Kui spoke not, as the Tongyou Skill’s Divine Light radiated, scouring for anything of value.

Regrettably, perhaps due to past battles here, everything had been looted clean. The divine tent had turned to rotten cloth, crumbling with a touch, even the murals on the walls were mottled and blurred.

Zhang Kui felt some disappointment, but on looking towards the inner hall, his eyes lit up as he swiftly walked in.

Inside, against the walls lay a massive apparatus, globe-shaped like a terrestrial globe, yet consisting of two spheres, one yellow and one black. Each was covered in intricate reliefs of unknown material, though dusty, without any decay.

Fusheng dismissed it, "Upper Immortal, this thing is called a Star Orbit, merely an exquisite adornment, crafted by some sycophant."

Useless... Quite useful indeed!

Zhang Kui’s lips curled in a slight smile as he began inspecting it closely.

Sure enough, the brass-colored one depicted oceans, several irregular continents as per Fusheng’s words, simply divided into four main continents north, south, east, and west with the Divine Continent taking up most of the past Eastern Continent.

While the topography was similar, there were differences, such as the Fallen Immortal Mountain separating the Divine Continent from the Peacock Buddha Country, and the Cangkong Mountain leading to the Southern Border, both non-existent.

In the ocean, there were many small islands, even marking the Sea Eye passages, indeed, the underground waterways connected several continents.

The Underworld map was much more mottled, with cities or outposts only sparsely appearing. Zhang Kui noticed, corresponding to the previous General’s Tomb, there was a marked large city labeled the Yin Soldier Mansion.
