Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 367 - 310: The Collapse of the Celestial Pillar, Immortal-Level Power (Part 2)

Other Celestial Pavilion Great Demons no longer bothered with bickering, keeping their expressions tense and straining to maintain the array's operation.

Fortunately, the entire Sea of Anomalies was also affected and did not take the opportunity to breach the grand array, instead relaxing its assault and surging toward the direction of the Immortal Sect.

The pressure within the grand array reduced dramatically, and the demons all turned to look toward the Immortal Sect.

The black mist of the Underworld blocked their Divine Sense; though they lacked Zhang Kui's ability to scout across a hundred miles, they could sense the spatial disturbances and the overwhelming force shaking heaven and earth.

"The Sect Leader has succeeded!"

The Great Venerate Toad laughed heartily, "The Immortal Sect has collapsed, and the base of the anomalies must have suffered heavy losses, no wonder those brats are so anxious..."

The other Great Demons also smiled and discussed among themselves.

"The Sect Leader is truly valiant!"

"It's a pity we never saw the Immortal Sect before it became ruins..."

"What's there to pity? When the Sect Leader leads us into the Moon Palace someday, you'll have all the time you want..."

Launching an attack on the anomaly base was extremely perilous, so Zhang Kui did not keep it secret and had shared several of his plans, breaking the Immortal Sect being one of them.

Based on their experience, although the Monarch of the Strange might be near immortal, there was a tipping point; as long as they eliminated it while dispersing the Black Tide, there would be no chance of resurrection.

Now that they had already broken through the Immortal Sect, causing chaos, all they had to do was shatter the Sea of Anomalies from the outside, and this disaster could be completely eradicated.

However, before Yuan Huang could issue a command, everyone's hair stood on end and their eyes widened.

An unprecedented pressure emanated from the dark center of the Sea of Anomalies.

It was an entity not belonging to this world...

Yuan Huang's eyes filled with blood, clenching his fists tightly, "The thing the Sect Leader spoke of has emerged!"

...

A mountain-like black sphere hovered silently, continuously spreading its vast domain powers outward.

The surroundings began to distort, as the smashed remains of the Monarch of the Strange were seemingly summoned, flowing from the black sand, the crevices in the stones, and even the layers of shattered Immortal Sect debris, flying into the sky to coalesce.

Gigantic evil tumors reappeared, hovering in mid-air like whirlpools extracting the remains from the ground, not even sparing the wildly surging Sea of Anomalies.

The sky was filled with enormous mutant tumors, even more than before, writhing and expanding, birthing new Monarchs of the Strange at a visible speed.

Zhang Kui was stunned, his scalp tingling.

In nearly an instant, he realized what the power of the Immortal level represented.

If the Mahayana Realm still controlled Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi as part of this world, then becoming Immortal was a complete transcendence, forming a self-contained world.

"Flawless True Immortal," "outside the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements"...whatever the saying, they themselves are a complete system.

Unless the system collapses, they can share the lifespan of heaven and earth.

Mortal cultivators still need to use the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to cast skills, whereas the power of an Immortal is to use domain power emitted by their self-contained world to perform Immortal Skills!

Thus inferred, an Immortal King extends their world to the extreme, extracting laws of the Great Path to evolve the Immortal Court, causing all living beings in a star realm to follow the Immortal King's "Path," thereby ruling the cosmos.

Therefore, should the Celestial Court encounter trouble, the Immortal Path would break, and those who became immortals through the Immortal King's "Tao Fruit" would be simultaneously destroyed, leaving the world devoid of immortals!

Immortal King Banner, distorting Immortal Court, the broken Immortal Path...all at once, past sights and sounds flooded his mind, and many uncertainties were dispelled.

But Zhang Kui couldn't spare much thought, because enormous mutating tumors were proliferating in the sky.

Hundreds, thousands—should this Sea of Anomalies utterly vanish, thousands of Monarchs of the Strange could appear, then who could stop it?

This was the true form of Underworld anomalies, led by Immortal-level anomalies, overturning Yin and Yang, destroying the Spirit Charm Planet's grand array, engulfing all life...

Boom!

The ground exploded suddenly, accompanied by an angry roar.

"Not a chance!"

Zhang Kui's eyes widened, bursting from the ground and shooting upwards without hesitation.

The moment the Immortal-level anomaly appeared, there was no retreat left for him.

The Underworld and the Mortal World are two sides of the same coin.

Once the anomaly army is born, led by Immortal-level anomalies to break the planetary grand array, the Mortal World array would also be utterly destroyed—and when that time comes, with starry skies bursting and Primordial Qi pouring in, all life would perish, leaving Celestial Essence Star in complete desolation.

The massive black sphere hung silently, like a deity descending upon the world, while the sky was filled with enormous tumors writhing violently, as if heralding an apocalypse.

His hair and wide sleeves fluttered as the wind howled past his ears; Zhang Kui kept his eyes fixed on the sky, veins bulging on his forehead, gripping the hilt of the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" with a reverse hold.

From a distance, it seemed like a tiny ant charging rapidly toward the massive object in the sky.

Soon, Zhang Kui was within the range of the black sphere's domain fluctuations, but immediately his expression changed.

Indeed, as expected, within the domain's range, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were utterly uncontrollable, impossible to absorb, leaving only the mana within his body for use.

If he acted recklessly, he would soon become a cripple.

More terrifyingly, within this domain's range, his skin was also affected, turning ashen and rotting, sprouting tendrils, carapaces, and eyes...

"Divine Protection Skill!"

Zhang Kui immediately cast a spell gesture, enveloping himself in a black light.

Surely enough, the Divine Protection Skill that could devour domain laws offered defense, but it was nearly at its limit; the "Eyes of Eternal Life" opened on his forehead also instantly bled.

His forehead hurt like being slashed by a knife, his Divine Soul nearly tearing open, but Zhang Kui ignored it, his muscles knotting like old tree roots, veins bulging, and with a roar, he accelerated like a sharp sword breaking through the void.

Thinking he could slay an Immortal with mortal power was nothing but arrogance, he now realized.

Clone Skill, Body Fixing Skill, Flying Sword Skill—none could be relied on, merely wasting mana in vain.

The most powerful "Sun Exposure Skill" couldn't be used without control over Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He didn't know how to win; it was like a small bug trying to shake a tree. No matter how he calculated, only despair awaited.

As he got closer to the black sphere, with "Divine Protection Skill" nearing collapse, his internal mana rapidly depleting, Zhang Kui's mind went blank.

Thoughts of starry sky evil gods and the living beings of the Divine Continent were long forgotten.

He gripped the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" tightly, his face twisted with ferocity and despair, only wanting to land one strike on the monster before his death.

Buzz!

A wave of domain energy spread out, fixing Zhang Kui in mid-air as he approached the sphere.

Soon, a mountain-sized gigantic eye emerged slowly from the black light, indifferent and insane.

"Stare at your mother, you damn ball!"

Zhang Kui roared, the "Eyes of Eternal Life" on his forehead bursting with blood, using a fleeting moment of the Divine Protection Skill's limit to break free from the stasis.

Clang!

A sword cry as loud as a dragon's roar rang.

The previously silent and oppressive skies seemed shattered, as a beam of purple light ruthlessly struck the eye.

Roar!

The giant eye ruptured with blood, and a terrifying howl engulfed the heavens.

Boundless waves of energy wildly spread, making the enormous tumors drift in the air, overturning the tumultuous Sea of Anomalies.

Boom!

Zhang Kui didn't have time to react as a terrifying force slammed him back to the ground, shattering the earth and sending a massive cloud of dust soaring, nearly tearing him into pieces.

Fortunately, he had already left the domain of the Immortal-level anomaly, allowing the Separation Skill to automatically activate, gathering the surging Spiritual Qi, and his body began to slowly mend.

"Not... dead..."

Zhang Kui's mind was blank, only regaining composure after a while, though his body was still in severe pain, and the "Eyes of Eternal Life" on his forehead was a bloody mess.

"What did I just do..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Zhang Kui stared at the sky, seeing the massive eye bleeding profusely, black light frantically surging, pushing away the huge scar covered in "Purple Extreme Light," appearing to heal soon.

But a sinister smile appeared on Zhang Kui's face, as he suddenly remembered the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" had breached the opponent's domain.

He had instinctively used the Transportation Skill to throw in the massive bomb created from the core of the starship, which had absorbed countless years of thunder, wrapped in purple extreme light, unnoticed by the enemy.

Having perceived something, the massive black sphere in the sky began to tremble, with an insect-clawed tentacle reaching out toward the purple scar on the giant eye.

"Ha, it's too late!"

Lying on the ground, Zhang Kui grinned sinisterly, raising his as yet unrecovered right hand, skeletal and bloodied, forming the shape of a gun pointed at the sky.

"Bang!"
