Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 290 - 274: Strange Phenomena in the Underworld, the Immortal Sect Revealed (Part 3)

The demons felt disheartened, knowing the Earth Demon Ten Halls well, and realized that to cultivate the Flying Sword Skill for refining Evil Gang, they must first learn the Demon-slaying Skill.

Although the name was somewhat unpleasant, as long as the power was formidable, the name didn't really matter.

The problem was that to cultivate such a skill to profound levels, the body must adapt to stronger evil qi, which was impossible without a series of techniques such as Guiding Skill, Pill Manipulation Skill, and Fragmentation Skill. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Unless one relinquishes all their cultivation and starts anew from the legacy passed down by Zhang Kui.

Of course, there were those who did just that.

Many powerful legacies were acquired from various ruins and the Underworld, but the reason the Profound Sect caused a sensation worldwide was all due to Zhang Kui pointing out a Great Path to heaven.

The Golden Core Path, the Corpse Dissolving Skill, marked the first clear emergence of the Immortal Cultivation Skill in the Divine Continent.

Although this path was incredibly arduous, even harsher than the existing cultivation system, it promised immortality through Corpse Dissolving even if the Immortal Path was severed in this world.

This was the most attractive aspect of the Profound Sect's legacy, as already three Earth Evil great demon spirits nearing the end of their lifespan had abandoned everything to have their spirit lights reborn under the witness of the Human Race Divine Path.

This was not reincarnation, but somewhat like Yu Lian, where the spirit light merges into a womb, and with good luck, one could become immortal, awakening memories of past lives.

However, there were benefits, as they would be exceptionally gifted, becoming cultivation prodigies.

It had already been discovered that while the Profound Sect's grand methods were wondrous, starting from the most basic Guiding Skill to the various magic techniques, all were cultivated using human meridians.

One could say this legacy was exclusively for humans, and even if demons wanted to learn, they must first transform into human shape, which came with many inconveniences.

Seeing Zhang Kui's magnificent display of divine power, several demons on the deck made plans in their minds. If there was truly no hope in the Underworld, they might have to reincarnate and start anew on the path forged by Sect Leader Zhang.

Naturally, Zhang Kui was unaware of the demons' thoughts; he was currently quite annoyed.

The strange beings of the Underworld suffered heavy casualties, yet they grew even more frenzied, tenaciously clinging on like sticky candy. In the Black Tide, massive figures, as tall as mountains, began to faintly emerge, slowly approaching amidst the endless darkness.

"Resist with all your strength and close your eyes!"

Suddenly, Zhang Kui roared in anger, his eyes burning with the True Sun Fire, while his hands continually changed in spell formations.

Damn...

The group of demons was instantly shocked, quickly gathering their energy to resist, with some even retreating into the cabin.

He was preparing to use the Sun Exposure Skill.

Everyone knew about the battle at the General's Tomb; Zhang Kui's spell was terrifying in its power, especially since it attacked indiscriminately.

Even those within the Dragonbone Divine Ship's Defense Array felt uneasy.

"Sun Exposure!"

"Ascending and Copying!"

As Zhang Kui softly chanted, boom! The world, once shrouded in darkness, suddenly burst into dazzling light, with the heavens and earth resonating loudly.

Despite everyone on the deck having their eyes closed, their vision was pierced by blinding whiteness, and their bodies felt as if they were being roasted in a furnace, with even the Dragonbone Divine Ship shaking violently.

What on earth is he doing...

Yuan Huang lamented internally, confident in his own strength, especially since Zhang Kui certainly wouldn't release it directly overhead, plus there was the ship's defense.

But what he hadn't anticipated was Zhang Kui using the Ascending Copy Skill to amplify the power. Although it wasn't deadly, every second was an ordeal.

Fortunately, it didn't last long. As the blinding light faded, the demons slowly opened their eyes, only to be left in shock.

It wasn't just that the strange beings within tens of miles had been completely cleared away, nor that the desert beneath them had turned into a glass-like state, resembling a black, sunken mirror.

It was the sky overhead, where the black mist was slowly dispersing, revealing a grand, twisting blood-red glow covering the entire firmament.

"Grand Master Zhang..."

Yuan Huang stared at the sky, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes. "Didn't I tell you, once we reach the Underworld, we will naturally know the Immortal Path is here? Look closely, it is about to appear..."

"Oh?"

Zhang Kui raised an eyebrow, also staring unblinkingly at the sky.

As the blood-red light gradually faded, it was as though a foggy glass had been wiped clean. Various phenomena suddenly appeared in the sky: strange, twisted nebulae, like mist and ghosts, encrusted within the blood-red night sky.

Why say a blood-red night sky? Because the blood-red moon actually obscured more than half the sky, so close to the ground that even the craters were clearly visible, radiating a sense of oppressive horror.

Perhaps due to a different angle or position, the palaces in the Moon Sea did not appear before them, but instead, a massive island floated in the Moon's orbit.

The island was black, desolate, with not a blade of grass growing, only a mountainous bronze archway stood silently, facing them, as if welcoming guests to come forward...
