Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 329 - 292: The Secret of the Starship, Cangkong Giant God (Part 2)

Chapter 329: Chapter 292: The Secret of the Starship, Cangkong Giant God (Part 2)

Zhang Kui carefully read through it, his brow suddenly slightly furrowed.

Yuan Huang and others exchanged glances, and asked, "Sect Leader, is there something amiss with Cangkong Mountain?"

Zhang Kui didn’t hide anything, shaking his head and said, "You’re right, Cangkong Mountain is indeed an ancient battlefield burial ground. Malevolence thrives there, and the plants across the mountain absorb spiritual qi and evil qi, exposed to the light of the sun, moon, and stars. Instead of transforming into demons, they turn into fierce oddities. Whether humans or demons approach, they will be attacked."

"But after thousands of years of exploration, the Water God discovered a secret; not only is Cangkong Mountain an ancient battlefield burial ground, but it might be an even more ancient battlefield."

"An even more ancient battlefield..."

Bao Wuxin mused, "Two great wars on the Celestial Essence Star, one was the demise of the Immortal Dynasty, and before that, it was the arrival of the Immortal Dynasty and the battle with the Desolate Gods and Beasts. Could it be that there are Desolate Beast Demon Bones buried underneath?"

Zhang Kui smiled slightly,

"Let’s go and see; if it is a burial ground of Desolate Beasts, it will be left to the Guardian Ape Divine General to handle."

With that, they didn’t linger any longer and immediately broke through the water, boarding the Dragonbone Divine Ship to head towards Cangkong Mountain.

Soon, the terrain abruptly rose into a vast mountain appearing before their eyes, with towering ancient trees two to three hundred meters high stretching endlessly, like a sea of green, with miasma and green profound light surging incessantly.

Just as the Dragonbone Divine Ship approached the sky above, the whole mountain sprang to life. Each ancient tree revealed hideous, twisted faces, swaying with fierce winds and countless snake vines soared like living creatures, seeming to pull the Dragonbone Divine Ship down from the sky.

"So many..."

The Great Venerate Toad gasped, "No wonder no one wants to come. The outskirts are still manageable, but look at that!"

Everyone looked, only to see the largest ancient trees on the mountaintop had already formed shapes with three heads and six arms, knotted vines, twisting their heads to look at them, their emerald eyes filled with ferocity.

"Divine Resentment!"

Yuan Huang frowned, "I didn’t expect these bizarre plants could even absorb Divine Resentment. That’s Immortal God resentment, no wonder every Divine Soul is maddened."

Zhang Kui, however, noticed something more important. When the Divine Land Array was established, the Three Mountains were intentionally excluded to avoid trouble, but due to the rich spiritual qi within the barrier, countless roots beneath Cangkong Mountain began to extend toward the Divine Continent Barrier.

These hidden dangers must be dealt with first...

Zhang Kui’s expression turned slightly cold, and he made a spell gesture, suddenly using the Flame-Breathing Skill, even strengthening it with the Ascending Copy Skill.

Whoosh!

The blood-colored Karmic Fire enveloped lotus flowers, pouring down like a waterfall, and the sky turned dark. In this warm and humid Southern Border land, a fierce blizzard suddenly whipped up.

The twisting and ascending snake vines were the first to suffer, with most instantly turning into flying ash, and many of the thicker ones frozen into ice chunks, shattering with a crack.

Cangkong Mountain was indeed terrifying. There were Forbidden Lands that once tried to set the mountain on fire; however, not only did the Demon Fire extinguish, but also it provoked a toxic miasma cloud sea, causing everything living within hundred miles to die, leaving no blade of grass alive.

But the Karmic Fire burned everything to desolation, and the severe cold was piercing. Even before the toxic miasma could arise, it turned into frozen poison water, and the originally verdant ocean was instantaneously tainted with white, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even though the extraordinary phenomenon was not seen for the first time, it still shocked the members of the Celestial Pavilion. Yuan Huang clicked his tongue in admiration, "The Original Karmic Fire is truly extraordinary. Fortunately, the Sect Leader possesses the mysterious skill to subdue it."

Zhang Kui, however, remained calm.

The Original Karmic Fire is powerful, but he hadn’t forgotten that the equally mighty and fierce Sun Divine Fire’s origin was stolen by the Starry Sky Evil God.

If they ever confronted each other, his Sun Exposure Skill might be rendered useless.

Dispelling distracting thoughts, Zhang Kui’s eyes shone with Divine Light, illuminating heaven and earth. Indeed, after a large number of bizarre plants were turned to ash, the green profound light and miasma dispersed, revealing the forest of white bones below. Already merged with the soil, the Spirit Charm was entirely lost. If not frozen, they would probably turn to ash at a touch.

"How many lives were lost in that war..." Yuan Huang murmured.

It must be known that this Cangkong Mountain is thousands of meters high, stretching hundreds of miles, entirely composed of piles of bones. Such places apparently are not isolated on the Celestial Essence Star, as the Underworld is the main battlefield.

Just then, Zhang Kui’s expression shifted, looking up to the mountaintop, only to see those tree-demons fused with Divine Resentment forming a circle, a green, eerie domain creating waves.

"Be careful!"

Yuan Huang frowned, and everyone grew vigilant.

A vast, ocean-like Qi Mechanism began to rise from the depths of the mountains. At the same time, the spiritual qi of the entire mountain seemed to be drained, with all the bizarre plants that were not ignited by the Karmic Fire quickly withering, even the three-headed, six-armed giant shadows on the mountaintop shattering with a cracking sound.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The entire mountain began to tremble, with enormous cracks thousands of meters long appearing on the ground.

Rumble!

Tons of boulders explosively shattered, sand and dust were blasted a thousand feet high, and the smoke and dust filled the air, its momentum even overshadowing the blizzard.

Zhang Kui hurriedly maneuvered the Dragonbone Divine Ship to retreat, avoiding the giant stones soaring through the air.

"Be careful, something big is coming out!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a massive hand, like a hill, emerged from the swirling dust and reached for the Dragonbone Divine Ship, wrapped in a storm of green light.

"Wishful thinking!"

Zhang Kui had already seen clearly, and with a laugh, the Yellow Turban Warriors skillfully piloted the Dragonbone Divine Ship to retreat dozens of miles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled, and a colossal creature broke through the dust and snow, appearing before everyone.

Great Venerate Toad swallowed hard,

"What is this thing..."

It was a towering, sky-reaching monster, even larger than a Divine Corpse. Black vines twisted and entangled, piecing together countless gigantic white bones into a three-headed, six-armed creature. The vine-covered black face was ferocious, and its green eyes burned fiercely.

The demons were horrified, but Zhang Kui’s lips curled into a slight smile.

No wonder there was a sense of familiarity; these vines were like those initially absorbed by "Longevity," belonging to an ancient exotic species with exceptionally strong life force, but they evolved in a different direction from "Longevity."

Zhang Kui, smiling, formed a spell with his hands, his voice resounding through the heavens, "Guardian Ape Divine General, emerge!"

Roar!

Enveloped in golden light, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. The Guardian Ape Divine General descended like a mountain range with a furious roar, swinging its fist with great force.

Boom!

The world seemed to shake as the Vine Demon Giant God took a punch to the face, staggering a few steps back and collapsing, completely flattening Cangkong Mountain.

The Guardian Ape Divine General, armed with demon bone wrist blades, smashed the face of the Vine Demon Giant God into a pulp with its corrosive force field, but the creature instantly regenerated, its body wrapped in vigorously growing vines that bound the Ape Divine General.

The Ape Divine General’s true form was an Ancient Wild God, a formidable opponent that even the Immortal Dynasty had headaches dealing with. Though now diminished in strength, it possessed an undying attribute.

The Vine Demon Giant God’s true form was a Vine of Ancient Exotic, naturally boasting extraordinary life force, and after devouring all the demon bones of the desolate beasts deep within Cangkong Mountain, it became even harder to kill.

The two enormous beings roared as they battled, the world instantly changing color and mountains shattering.

Cangkong Mountain, located at the southernmost part of the Eastern Continent, was smashed to pieces by the two giant gods, revealing the endless sea but now with towering waves.

Roar!

Suddenly, gigantic shadows rose from the sea, including monstrous serpents, thousand-foot poisonous insects, and the Piggy Dragon... each more ferocious than the last, their blood qi surging skyward.

However, upon witnessing the scene, they all shrank back in fright.

"Hmph, ignorant fools!"

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

Over there were the Southern Border Sea Islands, where the practice of evil god blood sacrifices was rampant. The islanders were accustomed to it, and ships from the Divine Continent dared not approach for fear of being captured for a blood sacrifice.

Previously, Cangkong Mountain had served as a barrier, and with the Divine Continent preoccupied with its own matters, there was no longer a need to tolerate these eyesores.

With this thought, Zhang Kui nodded, "Everyone, I’ll handle things here. You take the Dragonbone Divine Ship and slay those evil gods completely."

"At the Sect Leader’s command!"

The group of demons nodded, swiftly departing on the Dragonbone Divine Ship.

Aboard the ship, Great Venerate Toad was somewhat puzzled, "The Sect Leader’s Original Karmic Fire is the bane of that monster. Why not use it decisively—unless he just wants to watch the giant gods fight? Though entertaining, it does damage the earth veins."

"Fool!"

Yuan Huang laughed, "From the Sect Leader’s intentions, it seems the Human Race Divine Path is about to gain another Guardian Divine General."

The demons suddenly understood, grinning widely. A Divine Path Guardian General was undoubtedly useful, especially in the Underworld where encountering the Monarch of the Strange allowed it to display immense might.

The two giant gods fought with earth-shattering force, and by this time the sea had already surged with waves, while on the islands, the evil gods were frantically fleeing, pursued by the sneering demons...

On the other side, Zhang Kui frowned. Great Venerate Toad was right—the giant gods were too enormous, and this place, after all, was outside the Divine Land Barrier, with the earth veins unstable and already damaged.

With this in mind, Zhang Kui didn’t wait any longer and issued a series of commands.

"Tai Shi, prepare to activate the Divine Land Array to suppress, Guardian Ape Divine General, lure this thing inside..."
