Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

"Taoist Xuanji, what do you mean?!"

The Blood-eyed Bear Demon quickly retreated, keeping a wary eye on the Dark God while furiously questioning the Grand Elder of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm.

After the brutal ancient war, the Immortal Dynasty fell, with many Starry Sky Evil Gods falling into slumber, some disappearing into the long river of history, while others slowly regained their strength through the faith and followers of their offspring.

In this context, some Evil Gods born later gained even more notoriety, with the Dark God's fierce reputation spreading across the entire Cosmos.

Of course, neither the Deceitful Immortal True Monarch Wuwang nor the Star Thief Insect Demon Leader retreated, as this was obviously just a clone of an Evil God, and with their cultivation and secret treasures, slaying it wasn't difficult.

However, the Blood-eyed Bear Demon had bad luck, practicing the Black Hole Origin Law through a secret treasure, thus rampaging everywhere. Encountering the Dark God was truly unfortunate, hence his furious outburst.

"Fellow Daoist, do not panic..."

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, Xuanji, had a hint of mockery in his eyes, yet his expression remained calm and serene. "The Dark God senior bears us no ill will; this trip is solely to slay the Black Ming King."

The Blood-eyed Bear Demon sneered, about to retort, but was stopped by the Insect Demon beside him, who warily looked at the Dark God's clone.

Elder Xuanji smiled slightly but said nothing.

The Star Thief forces were chaotic, and it was only through the bloody suppression of these two Demon Immortals that they did not fall apart. While the Bear Demon King was said to be brutal and cold, the true leader was this Alien Insect Demon Immortal.

The Insect Immortal, titled Teng Ming, was of unknown origin. It was merely known that he had relationships with many Star Beast Dominators and the Beast Taming Immortal Realm, allowing the Star Thieves to gain many Star Beasts as protectors.

The Insect Immortal Teng Ming wasted no words, his compound eyes shimmering with a ghostly light, hissing, "Cooperation may be possible, but the Black Ming King is already a Starry Sky Dominator, and also possesses the Supreme Treasure, the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus. Even if the Dark God's true form were present, it might be powerless..."

This hit the crux of the matter, causing even the always silent Deceitful Immortal True Monarch Wuwang to look at the Dark God.

Under everyone's gaze, the Dark God coldly swept his eyes around, and scenes of illusions immediately appeared in their minds:

An ancient Star Zone, with shattered stars, evil light permeating the void, countless terrifying figures fighting madly, and both the Yin and Yang Realms affected.

"The fall of the Immortal Dynasty war..."

True Monarch Wuwang murmured, furrowing his brow as many unpleasant memories resurfaced in his mind.

The images in his mind continued to flicker, gradually clarifying into vague silhouettes of Star Giant Beasts and Evil God Dominators, but all the masters were attacking one person.

That person was a handsome and fair member of the Ancient Race, with three eyes on their forehead and black and white hair, surrounded by various Divine Lights, with eyes cold as a blade.

"Qianwu Immortal King!"

The Blood-eyed Bear Demon exclaimed, having gathered considerable information while coming to the Colorless Star Realm to seize opportunities.

The battle in the illusion continued, with numerous Evil God and Star Beast Dominators exerting their Law Domains, tightly trapping Qianwu Immortal King.

However, something terrifying occurred: Qianwu Immortal King's body suddenly exploded, and black and white light filled the void, erasing everything and turning it into ashes.

After the light dispersed, the space had already descended into chaos of mixed Yin and Yang. As the stars shifted, a figure in a black robe unexpectedly stepped out of the void, with dark tentacles writhing behind — it was the Evil God Black Ming King.

"Impossible!"

True Monarch Wuwang's complexion changed drastically, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "I followed Qianwu Immortal King for many years; he was cold and aloof. How could he become an Evil God, devouring countless lives?"

The Blood-eyed Bear Demon and Insect Immortal Teng Ming's expressions were also grim. If the Black Ming King was indeed a transformation of Qianwu Immortal King, then the so-called Immortal King inheritance was clearly a trap!

"There is nothing impossible..."

The Dark God finally spoke, coldly addressing True Monarch Wuwang: "During the ancient war, numerous Evil Gods invaded, and you incited the rebellion among the immortals. Do you know why Qianwu never showed up?"

True Monarch Wuwang's eyelid twitched, "Please, enlighten me."

The Dark God was right. During the fall of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, he had devised a plan, first luring many Evil Gods and then leading an assault into the Immortal King Cave Heaven.

The plan seemed foolproof, but upon entering the Immortal King Cave Heaven, they couldn't find Qianwu Immortal King. Instead, the Evil Gods began a rampant destruction, unleashing endless slaughter.

They had no choice but to escape into the Underworld, prematurely undergoing the Deceitful Immortal reincarnation, and thus knew nothing of subsequent events.

A hint of mockery flashed in the Dark God's green eyes. "Because Qianwu was a hypocrite, developing feelings for his master's Dao companion's reincarnation, Lady Luo Hua, but kept it buried deep."

"As soon as the battle began, he couldn't wait to run to the Wuzhen Star Realm to rescuse, but unfortunately, Lady Luo Hua was long dead due to lack of strength. Still, she luckily acquired the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus."

"I see..."

The affairs of the Ancient Immortal Monarchs didn't interest True Monarch Wuwang. Rather, he grew increasingly suspicious about the Dark God's identity. "You achieved enlightenment after the great disaster. How could you know these secrets, Dark God, Black Hole Law..."

"You are Duan You Immortal King!"

True Monarch Wuwang was struck with dread, his voice trembling.

No one would have considered this initially, as such a prestigious Immortal King wouldn't have become an Evil God, but the signs left the group with no doubt.

Apart from the three elders of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, everyone else retreated quickly.

Though it was just a clone of an Evil God, the prestige of an Immortal King was too terrifying. Who knew what world-shattering methods might be employed?

An Immortal King transforming into an Evil God...

The Celestial Craft Immortal Realm had existed since the Immortal Dynasty but turned out to be under the Dark God's control. Could the layout have been in the making for ten thousand years?

True Monarch Wuwang, along with the Bear Demon and Insect Immortal, didn't understand these secrets. However, they were smart enough to perceive that a colossal secret was shrouded behind this!

The Dark God didn't deny it, watching the retreating trio with a cold smile, saying, "Trying to run? It's too late. Qianwu's recent offensives, did you think they were ineffective?"

"What do you mean?!"

The trio of True Monarch Wuwang was initially stunned, their faces changing abruptly, immediately employing the Star Shifting Technique to traverse beyond the Star Realm.

They were at the peak of immortality and half-step into being Starry Sky Dominators, traveling through the vacuum was faster than even Starships, quickly leaving the Meteorite Sea.

However, to their horror, countless dim stars unexpectedly appeared beyond the Star Realm, precisely forming the Colorless Star Realm.

"Illusion Realm?"

"Maze Array?"

Their expressions turned uncertain.

No matter what it was, it seemed they invaded the Colorless Star Realm and, in reality, had become trapped birds confined within.

This was a power difficult to comprehend, mingling illusion and reality. They were sure that continuing onward would still return them to the Colorless Star Realm.

"This is the true power of the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus..."

The Dark God's clone, unknown when it reappeared with the Celestial Craft Immortal Elders, looked at the distant horizon with some interest: "Illusion Realms are just minor tricks. The Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus can suppress Star Realms. Qianwu's recent feigned attacks were actually to set up a Grand Array, forming its own Cosmos, turning illusion into reality."

"Forming its own Cosmos... a Starry Sky Dominator's Divine Power..."

True Monarch Wuwang's expression was unpleasant.

He was already at the peak of immortality but hadn't become a Starry Sky Dominator. Without the Cosmic Membrane, there was no hope of leaving.

The Blood-eyed Bear Demon couldn't resist asking, "What... do you want?"

The Dark God didn't answer, and Elder Xuanji of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Friends, do not be alarmed."

"Qianwu's use of secret skills to reincarnate actually trapped him in the Colorless Star Realm. He can only use the Immortal King inheritance as bait to lure beings to him for devouring. Now, why don't you three cooperate with us?"

True Monarch Wuwang's face turned exceptionally unpleasant, gritting his teeth as he said, "Speak!"

He hadn't expected that despite his various calculations, he was just a pawn for others. When Black Ming King swept through the Colorless Star Realm, he narrowly escaped and discovered the news of the Immortal King inheritance. In hindsight, it was all a lie.

Elder Xuanji laughed heartily, "Qianwu wants to capture us in the urn, but he forged his own cage. With your combined efforts at the right time to help us summon the Dark God's true form, we can reverse the situation in one fell swoop!"

"Though it's a trap, the Qianwu Immortal King inheritance is genuine. Rest assured, the Dark God only wants the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus, while the three of you can pursue the Immortal King inheritance with your fortunes."

Seeing they had been cornered, True Monarch Wuwang and the others had no choice but to clasp their hands together, "We hope the Dark God senior will keep his word."

"Good!"

Elder Xuanji was overjoyed, immediately discussing the plan with them.

Observing the group in discussion, the Dark God's eyes flashed with green light, then looked toward the center of the Colorless Star Realm.

"With the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus to seize the Buddhist Sect Paradise Realm, this must be a contingency the Emperor Venerable left behind for Lady Luo Hua. Qianwu... this opportunity is mine!"

On the other side of the Star Realm, amidst the Meteorite Sea, Yuan Huang and Cyan Flood Dragon were unaware of this conspiracy, still monitoring the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm.

"Strange, why hasn't the Star Shell responded?"
