Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Zhang Kui was taken aback, "What are you doing here?"

The visitor was a Spider Spirit, dressed in the Yellow Pavilion Taoist robe of the Divine Dynasty.

This creature was named Zhu Da, and along with his junior brother Zhu Er, they were originally minor cultivators of a small faction named Spirit Corpse Sect in the Netherworld Realm.

Zhang Kui met the two demons while exploring the Netherworld Realm. Later, when the Nine Calamities Divine Monarch transformed into a Seven-Colored Glazed Bone and wreaked havoc, he took the two demons with him when he left, unexpectedly encountering them again here.

"Reporting to Sect Leader, we returned under orders..."

The Spider Spirit quickly transmitted a sound, deliberately avoiding everyone.

It was still a matter of resources.

Due to the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty's extensive use of the Immortal Sect, the consumption of Space Disaster Beast Demon Bones increased, so the Zhu family brothers of the Spirit Corpse Sect volunteered to return.

They brought many elites, intending to secretly hunt Disaster Beasts. Who would have thought the situation in the Netherworld Realm would change dramatically.

The Netherworld Old Realm Master's Demon Corpse and the Nine Calamities Divine Monarch's Seven-Colored Glazed Demon Bone, these two extraordinary monsters began a furious battle as soon as they met, trying to devour each other.

After several fierce battles, the two fierce creatures were evenly matched and parted ways, devouring the surviving Ancient Ruins Race of the Netherworld Realm, not even sparing the Disaster Beasts.

The two demons of the Spirit Corpse Sect were frightened to death. After secretly hunting a few Disaster Beasts, they were about to leave when the situation changed again.

The forces from the Eternal Immortal Dynasty's Illusion Dream Realm and Luofu Realm, who hadn't been seen for millions of years, broke into the realm. A sky full of disc-shaped starships battled the two fierce creatures.

The two demons of the Spirit Corpse Sect were accidentally captured. Upon seeing Zhang Kui appear, they were overjoyed and immediately identified themselves.

"I see."

Zhang Kui smiled and shook his head, "You two are quite lucky."

After speaking, he coldly scanned the surrounding fleets, his voice echoing across the heavens and earth: "If you want to fight, then fight. If not, let someone come forward to respond!"

The black fog and evil qi of the Netherworld Realm covered the sky.

Zhang Kui stood alone in the desolate wilderness, and the starship fleet didn't dare to approach.

Joking aside, the two fleets had been heavily damaged by the evil creatures that took so long to suppress, subdued by this person single-handedly. Who dared to act rashly?

After a while, two figures flickered and arrived.

An old man in a three-eyed Taoist robe, with a large bronze mirror slowly rotating behind him, exuding an illusory and dreamlike light…

A strong ancient race member, with red hair and purple skin, his face fierce with tusks, and runes flashing all over his knotted muscles…

Both were True Immortals with extraordinary auras, but upon arriving at a distance, they cautiously bent over and cupped their hands: "Greetings to the Celestial Venerable."

Celestial Venerable?

Zhang Kui was addressed as such for the first time, his expression indifferent, he straightforwardly asked: "What are you doing in the Netherworld Realm, and what is the current situation of the Illusion Dream and Luofu two realms?"

When weak, some matters must be handled tactfully, but with his current cultivation, amidst the chaotic world, it was better to suppress others directly with power.

"This..."

The old Taoist robed man and the strong ancient race member were intimidated under Zhang Kui's imposing aura, they bit their lips and bowed, "We dare not hide anything from the Celestial Venerable, we two were ordered to come."

Then, the old Taoist robed man cautiously said: "I am known as Li Hun, one of the Seven Dream Immortals under the seat of the Illusion Dream Realm Master, and this is Luo Qiu, the Island Lord of Chenkong Island in the Luofu Realm."

"Since the ancient war, the Eternal Immortal Dynasty has become nominal, and the three realm masters disappeared. The strong occupied different territories unwilling to yield. It wasn't until a millennium ago that the once declining lineage of the Old Realm Master suddenly rose up, using slaughter and sacrifices to the Evil God to unify the Illusion Dream and Luofu two realms."

"Only later did we learn that the Evil God was none other than the infamous Dark God, and the descendants of the Old Realm Master had long been possessed, but no one dared to resist."

"A few years ago, we received an order to come to the Netherworld Realm to seek the Ancient Netherworld, but upon arrival, we found the Netherworld Secret Realm had already dissipated, and we were targeted by fierce creatures. After several fierce battles, we suffered heavy losses and didn't dare to return and report."

At this point, the old Taoist robed man's eyes revealed a hint of peculiarity, "Just a few months ago, we suddenly lost contact with the Divine Hall, and more strangely, the power of the Dark God altar on the ship also dissipated..."

Zhang Kui nodded and said calmly: "No need to wonder, the Dark God is dead. I killed him with my own hands."

With these words, the heavens and the earth fell silent.

Zhang Kui had no interest in explaining further. Instead, he swiftly communicated with Luo Changsheng.

"The senior was right. The Dark God rampaged in the cosmos on one hand and had long invaded the Eternal Immortal Dynasty on the other. But why did he send people to find the Netherworld, and why not come himself?"

"I suspect there are only two possibilities: one, he coveted the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus but was unable to divide his attention; or two, he only recently discovered something, hence he sent the army to occupy it first."

"Moreover, have you noticed, this Netherworld Realm is somewhat similar to your Merit Golden Lotus, more like a type of cosmic grotto heaven weapon? It is said since ancient times that the Three Realms of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty are remnants of the last cosmos. But under the great tribulation of heaven and earth, what can remain?"

Zhang Kui's eyes gleamed with insight: "It's the other Innate Supreme Treasure Lotus Seed! For some unknown reason, it didn't revert to its innate form, but it surely hides a great secret!"

At this point, Zhang Kui recalled many things.

The Netherworld Realm can absorb the qi of cosmic calamity and evolve countless Disaster Beasts. Where did they go after death?

The terrifying divine statue he found in the Netherworld, containing overwhelming evil qi, if not for the Earth Demon 72 Techniques to evolve rules and stars, it couldn't be controlled, more like some kind of large array mechanism...

Also, just now the divine statue was able to drive and attract the entire power of the Netherworld Realm...

The facts were clear: the Netherworld Realm itself was a terrifying Divine Artifact capable of destroying heaven and earth, only severely damaged and not completely reverted to its innate state.

What about the Illusion Dream and Luofu realms?

What is hidden there?

Upon this thought, Zhang Kui suddenly had a feeling and smiled, saying:

"Perhaps, those who attempted to resist were never just me..."

......

The Star Sea is vast; millions of years are but a moment.

And the greatness of life lies in its ability to burst into dazzling brilliance in this Dark Cosmos in a short time.

The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty began its explosive development.

On one hand, under the leadership of Manzudia, the Yellow Pavilion started deploying the Lotus Planting Skill to the remnant Life Stars one by one.

One Life Star Reincarnation Core after another began to transform into Golden Lotuses, releasing Life Force once again while establishing a connection with the Merit Golden Lotus World...

Under Zhang Kui's guidance, countless genius Artifact Refining Masters in the Profound Pavilion went into seclusion to discuss and devised an earth-shattering plan:

Centered on the Merit Golden Lotus, with countless Life Stars surrounding, connected by the Divine Path network, gathering the Incense Fire Wish Power of countless beings to elevate the Merit Golden Lotus World to the level of an Immortal King, or even higher.

The entire Divine Dynasty operated frantically for this plan.

Innumerable Star Officials were dispatched to the Life Stars after lotus planting, teaching and nurturing all things, restoring order, and the Sun, Moon, and Star Official system officially took shape...

The Divine Dynasty Fleet set off to all directions with only one goal: to acquire enough resources, using the power of the Immortal Sect to ignore distances in travel, thus adding yet another ghost fleet legend in the cosmos...

Within the Merit Golden Lotus World, countless talents gathered, furiously cultivating and joining forces with the fleet's strength going in all directions...

The Yin Yang Great Tribulation was no longer a secret, and the entire Divine Dynasty was preparing for it.

...

Zhang Kui wasn't idle either, personally traveling to the Illusion Dream and Luofu Realms.

The Illusion Dream Realm, as its name suggests, is a place that seems both real and illusory.

Somewhat resembling the Divine Path Dream Realm and the Paradise Realm of the Buddhist Sect, the former two rely on Incense Fire Wish Power, whereas the Illusion Dream Realm absorbs the scattered Divine Thought power of dreams across the universe to sustain itself.

What's different is that here, illusions can become reality, with magnificent and real continents drifting in the dreamscape, a peculiar power system born from dreams transforming to reality.

The Luofu Realm is more like a real Immortal Realm.

Fierce Starry Sky Spiritual Qi converges here, merging into an endless Sea of Spiritual Qi, vast and tumultuous, where countless Star Giant Beasts breed and devour each other.

Strangely, these Star Beasts have completely lost advanced Spiritual Wisdom and do not long to advance toward the Starry Sky Evil God, instead growing in size continuously, often seen covering the sky like Kunpeng.

Within the Sea of Spiritual Qi, islands form their own worlds, seemingly modeled after the Life Star system, artificially refined and the safest places for cultivation.

Each island is ruled by an Island Lord, either remnants of ancient battles or recently rising Ancient Race Demon Immortals, enforcing brutal slave rule.

Just as said by the robed elder, the Dark God already ruled over here.

However, after the Dark God's fall, it wasn't liberation that followed but greater chaos.

Whether the Illusion Dream or Luofu Realm, the powerful occupy their territory, forming alliances and conflicts, smoke rising everywhere, bloodthirsty killing intent enveloping the sky, as everyone aims to become the new master of heaven and earth.

Zhang Kui did not partake in it but observed hiddenly.

In his mind, Luo Changsheng sneered: "See, that is the reason we established the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, and also why we became disappointed afterward."

"You say the Immortal Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, yet it maintains order. However, the most terrifying thing is human nature, everyone wants to rise against heaven, disrupt rules, cause chaos, redefine order, the killing never ceases."

"Your Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty seems united, but it's ultimately an illusory bubble. If you leave, eventually, it will become like this."

"I've long grown weary, the end of the path leads to despair, I just want to see what those masterminds truly are…"

Zhang Kui remained silent.

If it were before, he would surely retort: "If you don't try, how can you know the outcome?"

But now, as life evolves, seeing through past and future, he realizes Luo Changsheng is right.

After a while, Zhang Kui's eyes became resolute: "The Great Path is unfixed, ever-changing, if the Divine Dynasty decays in the future, then destroy it, at least I know what to do now…"

"Destroy it?"

Luo Changsheng replied indifferently: "Control heaven and earth, unbothered by things, yes, your tone is becoming more like mine once was…"

Damn it!

Zhang Kui felt inexplicably annoyed, not wishing to pay attention to the old fellow any longer.

...

The Illusion Dream and Luofu Realms became complete oceans of slaughter.

Zhang Kui could no longer care about them, for he knew that the entire cosmos was like this, a chaos and madness preceding a grand tribulation.

The Dark God Halls of both worlds had completely become ruins, with anger and greed, under the guise of overthrowing the Evil God, leaving nothing remaining.

Therefore, even with his cultivation, it took a full year to reach the core of the two worlds.

As predicted, the three realms are indeed magnificent World Divine Artifacts.

The Netherworld Realm collects Evil Qi from the entire cosmos, transforming it to recharge the Ancient Netherworld, releasing it through an Ancient Divine Statue, able to obliterate star systems with a single strike…

The Illusion Dream Realm is somewhat similar to the former Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus, but its power is unparalleled, transforming illusion to reality with ease, even an Immortal King finds it hard to escape, destruction and creation are at a whim…

The Luofu Realm is a large-scale Beast Taming Divine Artifact, not to mention thousands of Star Giant Beasts outside that can devour stars, the core houses an incomprehensible Star Beast, so formidable it sends shivers, thankfully in slumber…

Unfortunately, these three divine artifacts are damaged, but to have survived the Yin Yang Great Tribulation shows their former might.

Their destiny to destruction is inevitable, likely following this Yin Yang reversal great tribulation, they will reverse to Innate, transforming into Supreme Treasure Lotus Seeds, awaiting the next awakening.

Given this, Zhang Kui no longer stood on ceremony.

In the Netherworld Realm, countless Disaster Beasts were captured, some refined into Demon Bones to support the Golden Lotus Ten Thousand Realms System, some used as power for the Immortal Sect, the useless ones suppressed in the Immortal King Tower as "Time Flow" power…

In the Illusion Dream Realm, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty army descended, quelling the chaos, equally suppressing innumerable anomalies birthed from dreams, and the world core was extracted piece by piece by Zhang Kui to enhance the Divine Path Dream Realm…

In the Luofu Realm, celestial beings from the Celestial Pavilion led thousands of fleets to suppress everything, massive Star Beast groups were captured to become the Beast Taming Bureau's army, as for the terrifying core Star Beast, Zhang Kui, under Luo Changsheng's guidance, refined it into an Outer Body Incarnation…

Everything was busy, and unknowingly, a hundred years passed.

Meanwhile, eerie changes began in the universe:

In the mortal cosmos, an endless Dark Void unexpectedly birthed a small black hole, filled with chaos and madness, devouring everything while rapidly expanding before the eyes…

In the Underworld Cosmos, a point of brightness emerged in the darkness, continually expanding and contracting, like a great egg at the beginning of the world…

The ultimate catastrophe of Yin Yang Reversal was beginning to descend!
