Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 581 485: Return to Celestial Essence, Stirring Up Another Surge of Spiritual Energy

Dark void, remnants of corpses, an emerging evil deity...

Anyone who witnesses this scene would feel terrified.

What's even more shocking is that in the palm of the Evil God Black Ming King, the blood lotus connects to a golden light membrane with a faint Buddha silhouette flickering.

If Zhang Kui were present, he would have discovered that it is precisely the final destination of Buddhist cultivators' Nirvana, the Paradise Realm, being rendered real through the power of the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus, for contamination.

This is the true goal of the Black Ming King into which the Immortal King Qianwu transformed: to seize the entire Paradise Realm's power to confront a great catastrophe!

Of course, Zhang Kui would also be horrified to find that what he sees as the Paradise Realm is a terrifying, sinister body behind the scenes, while others perceive it as a Holy Buddha Country, even the Black Ming King is no exception...

Terror-inducing fluctuations continue to emanate from the void, as Black Ming King's dark, viscous tendrils relentlessly erode, vast Buddha Light turning black, though it never breaks through the golden membrane.

Gradually, the golden light dissipates again, and Black Ming King snorts coldly in dissatisfaction, then gazes towards the Colorless Star Realm, his figure vanishing instantly...

...

"Sect Leader Zhang, that Black Ming King..."

Onboard the Chaos Heaven, old monk Rama finally couldn't hold back his inquiry after feeling safe.

Zhang Kui, his brows furrowed with solemnity, remained silent for a moment before saying, "The Colorless Star Realm has become a Forbidden Zone, and the so-called Immortal King inheritance is likely a trap. The Black Ming King's power suppresses Buddhist cultivators, to survive, you should distance yourselves from this place as soon as possible."

"How could it be so..."

Old monk Rama wasn't foolish, recalling what they had witnessed along the way, especially the Treasure Vault's Buddha Light turning into demonic energy, a chill surged in his heart.

The Chaos Heaven rapidly traversed the void of the Underworld Starry Sky, and after half a month, the grand Celestial Essence Star Realm finally appeared before them.

The journey had taken over a month, and before Zhang Kui could even approach, he had already reconnected to the Divine Path network, learning about the current situation in the Celestial Craft Star Realm through Tai Shi.

In his absence, the people of the Divine Dynasty had not been idle either.

The Sunfall Star Realm had officially become part of the Celestial Essence Star Realm, with all the mundane and cultivators relocated to the second continent layer, registered in the Divine Path household, thriving with the help of numerous Star Officials.

The Profound Pavilion was fully engaged, having repaired the starship of the Buddhist Refugees, a vast starship sparking with golden light under the starry sky.

"Sect Leader Zhang, thank you for your protection during this journey."

Old monk Rama offered a Buddhist salutation, "The Buddha Land has been destroyed, we shall not linger any longer, and will leave as soon as possible."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly, "Where do you intend to go, master?"

Sighing, old monk Rama replied, "Void is boundless, and we are stray dogs. However, there are other places like Infinite Brahma Heaven, whose strength far surpasses ours, teeming with high monks of great virtue, even the evil gods dare not provoke them, they will surely take us in."

"Please go ahead, master."

Seeing Zhang Kui nod, Rama swiftly departed, turning into a rainbow light flying towards the Buddhist cultivators' starship.

Watching the departing figure of the old monk, Zhang Kui shook his head slightly.

The paths differ, and thus cannot be pursued together. No matter how difficult, these Buddhist cultivators are unwilling to abandon their tenets to join the Celestial Essence Star Realm.

The work he intends to accomplish is to remake the cosmos, with thorny paths ahead, and he cannot shelter those not aligned with the Human Race Divine Path, lest they become hidden threats.

The void is exceedingly dangerous, and these Buddhist cultivators might not even have the chance to reach Infinite Brahma Heaven, they might never meet again.

"Sect Leader has returned!"

After Rama's departure, many starships flew forth to greet from the Celestial Essence Star Realm, with joyful faces, even the always stern Yuan Huang breathed a sigh of relief.

Gazing at his followers, Zhang Kui spoke in a deep voice, "The situation in the Colorless Star Realm is complex, issue orders to the Star Realm to retreat a hundred thousand miles, avoiding confrontation temporarily."

Everyone exchanged looks, all showing concern.

The Celestial Essence Star Realm's original plan was to conquer the Colorless Star Realm, they had been preparing for war with fervor, eagerly sharpening their skills.

Though the Starry Sky Evil God was formidable, the Celestial Essence Star Realm now had many experts, in addition to many great weapons, they might very well stand a chance for battle. Success would make the name of the Celestial Essence Star Realm resound throughout the cosmos.

However, Zhang Kui ordered to avoid direct confrontation.

This signifies there exists in the Colorless Star Realm something they cannot contend with!

"Sect Leader, should we leave then?"

Yuan Huang asked with a slight frown.

Zhang Kui had vowed to transform the world, and countless beings in the Celestial Essence Star Realm were united, if the first battle led to withdrawal, it might damage morale, possibly rekindling the earlier confusion.

In this dark cosmos, survival is merely fundamental, something, even a fanciful goal, is needed to anchor their hearts.

Zhang Kui laughed heartily at the words, "Of course not, it's just that there's currently no way to break through. The Celestial Essence Star Realm will not stop its progress. Pass down the order, all beings are to enter seclusion to cultivate. I will once again initiate the Spirit Qi Frenzy!"

"By the decree!"

Excitement shone in everyone's eyes.

The beings of the Divine Dynasty of the Celestial Essence Star Realm followed Zhang Kui in reforming heaven and earth because of their many trump cards, one of which is the Spirit Qi Frenzy.

Last time, the initiation of the Spirit Qi Frenzy allowed countless cultivators to advance greatly in their cultivation, giving many the opportunity to attain immortality, and even some young geniuses reached Mahayana in a short time.

A year's progress could equal another's century of cultivation accumulation, making contending with the Evil Gods across the skies not a mere fantasy.

This time, during the journey through the Buddha Land, Zhang Kui not only reaped a significant base of Divine Materials, but also suppressed many Black Buddhas tainted by the Black Ming King, gaining both in quantity and quality, enough to perform "Time Flow" once more upon their consumption.

After depositing all Divine Materials into the vault, Zhang Kui immediately flew to the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Kunlun Mountain remained snow-capped, and with the birth of Gen Mountain Monarch and the Profound turning into reincarnation and being included in the Divine Path, though no longer radiating divine light, its divine charm was more contained and dignified.

Amidst the heavy snow, Fatty Tiger crouched on a boulder, electricity swirling around him, having long secured a spot and prepared for seclusion in cultivation.

Elsewhere, the Tai Shi Golden Body appeared, Divine Path powers surging immensely, the golden Divine Power even forming a sacred golden lake by transforming from virtual to real.

In the center of the lake, a massive transparent membrane seemed both illusory and real, surrounded by overlapping spatial layers, even Divine Power was distorted.

"How is it going?"

Zhang Kui's eyes spun with the Tai Chi Light Wheel as he turned his head to ask Tai Shi.

This was the cosmic membrane shed after the Blood God's fall, which Zhang Kui initially planned to refine into the star realm core to turn the star realm into an independent world, akin to a Starry Sky Evil God.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was insufficient to refine it, so he conceived the idea of refining it using Divine Path power.

The power of the Divine Path may lack in destructive force, but its transformations are marvelous, capable of achieving any miracle if the power is sufficient.

Tai Shi cupped his hands slightly, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, the Divine Path power can refine it, but this item's creation involves profound mysteries, and completing the refinement would still require a hundred years."

"A hundred years?"

Zhang Kui's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, "Heaven aids me too!"

In the battle against the Black Ming King, the Thousand Seconds Illusory Lotus was but one concern; what worried him most was the Celestial Essence Star Realm itself.

The Celestial Essence Star Realm, covered by the Divine Path network, was initially the greatest strength with its combined attack and defense, but the Black Ming King could even taint the similar-attributed Paradise, turning the strength into the largest vulnerability.

Now, as long as the cosmic membrane is refined, the Celestial Essence Star Realm would become self-contained like a cosmos, akin to a Starry Sky Dominator, invulnerable to invasion unless its core is broken. Along with the Earth Evil Silver Lotus, their safety is assured!

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui waved his wide sleeves, instantly sweeping up the golden lake of Divine Power and fleeing into the grand hall of the Immortal King Tower.

By employing "Time Flow," one year outside is a hundred years within the Immortal Hall, hence emerging will allow refinement.

Buzz!

As Zhang Kui practiced the "Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation," the previously dormant Kunlun Mountain erupted in light, the cores of the Earth Evil Silver Lotus and the All Heaven Star Array humming in resonance.

A tide of explosive Spirit Qi emerged from the void and poured crazily into the Celestial Essence Star Realm, causing the entire star realm to boil with excitement.

Spirit Qi from the sky transformed into waterfalls cascading down, innumerable Spirit Flowers and Herbs sprouted wildly, and immortal vines like Spiritual Snakes burrowed and extended from the ground...

Various beings were suddenly stunned, some scurried about frantically, while others gazed at the heavens, their eyes beginning to flicker with the light of wisdom...

City after city of Spirit Mountains fell into silence, as the beings of the Divine Dynasty, already receiving orders, all sat cross-legged, entering seclusion for intense cultivation.

The only ones taken by surprise were the newly integrated people of the Sunfall Star Realm, many cultivators were shocked, staring at each other in astonishment.

After learning the news, they initially had doubts, but never expected the Spirit Qi Frenzy to actually occur, which was simply a reversal of the natural order.

Within the grand hall of the Immortal King Tower, Zhang Kui had already entered a state of selflessness.

Beside the hall, the lake of Divine Power floated in the air, the cosmic membrane within seemed gradually tinged with gold.

Meanwhile, Luo Changsheng, who had become the Artifact Spirit, made his appearance with a solemn expression, wielding the transparent Fire of Time to ignite the twisted black mist laws expelled from Zhang Kui's body.

In the void, a silver lotus bloomed in a burst of brilliance, illuminating the darkness like a star.

And tens of thousands of miles away behind the Silver Lotus, a black planet silently hovered, known as the Sunfall Star Realm.

Currently, the majority of people from the Sunfall Star Realm have already relocated, and those originally left behind have also received the message, entering seclusion in the Celestial Essence Star Realm, leaving an eerie silence in their wake.

As the Spirit Qi Frenzy arrived, the Sunfall Star Realm seemed affected too, its core igniting a blazing red light, pulsing like a heartbeat...
