Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 274 - 268: The Divine Dynasty Mobilizes, Dharma Guardian General

Bolder stared fixedly at the Bone Knife, then bowed his head to Helian Boxiong, clenching his teeth until they creaked, "Blood Sacrifice Blade... it's undoubtedly from the Shaman Divine Sect. I implore Lord Helian to make a decision!"

"Traitors of the human race must be executed!"

Helian Boxiong's eyes flashed with murderous intent. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "All troops, charge! Annihilate the Shaman Divine Mountain!"

At his command, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty's army of one hundred thousand surged forward, the black tide rolling, shaking the earth, the sound of hooves thunderous like the roar of the heavens.

In the center of the formation, several Yellow Pavilion cultivators collectively raised a massive bronze bell, and the golden divine light instantly enveloped the entire army.

The greatest strength of the current Divine Continent cultivators lies in the divine talisman. Inside the Divine Land Barrier, it's fine, but outside, ensuring no interference is possible without Zhang Kui worrying; the cultivators of the Profound Yellow Two Pavilions came up with a solution together.

They found several ancient bronze bells, inlaid them with Divine Strange Pearls refined from the East Sea, Spiritual Sect, and General's Tomb, and with Shen Xu's help, created ten Divine Court Bell segments. Even in an Ancient Secret Realm, they could maintain the divine radiance, and this time the expedition brought one.

Vast as the grasslands are, boundless, the human army moves quickly, but it still takes considerable time. Yet, the Celestial Pavilion's demons have already reached Wolf Mountain.

On the boundless grassland, black mountain ranges stretch, jagged with strange rocks and filled with caverns, the center occupied by a massive altar and ancient bluestone buildings.

However, this place, once shrouded in Yin Qi and bathed in dense moonlight at night, now lies empty, not a trace of a demon to be found.

"Quite astute..."

Yuan Huang snorted, "It seems Wolf Mountain and the Sea of Blood know we're coming, they've already joined forces. Everyone, they're sure to be waiting at the Sea of Blood, let's go!"

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and a vast canopy of dark clouds began to spread deep into the grassland...

Shazhou.

No one would have imagined that after the Divine Land Array was built, the first in beauty would be Siling Mountain on this vast Gobi Desert.

Siling Mountain, with its Bing Fire Array, though barren of vegetation, has turned into a crystalline spectacle, increasingly radiant over these past months, dotted with fiery spiritual caves everywhere.

More intriguingly, the array has absorbed the surrounding fire energy, and the abundant spiritual energy combined with the rich underground water networks have, since early spring, formed a vast oasis. Siling Mountain now stands like a shining jewel above this oasis, breathtaking in its beauty.

The people of Shazhou, no longer suffering terrible living conditions, moved in cheerfully and en masse.

Simultaneously, because countless fire eyes are ideal for artifact refining, it has become a crucial branch of the Profound Pavilion. A Mahayana Realm Snake Demon personally stays to guard, not joining the grassland war due to the enigmatic Golden Light Cave Stone Man Tomb in Shazhou.

Now, activity bustles across the mountain. The Profound Pavilion gathered all adept artifact refiners of the Divine Continent here.

Beside each fiery cave, ample spiritual materials are neatly arranged. Each cultivator focuses intently, using the fire eyes to refine an item: rectangular bronze bricks.

Hoo~

A white-robed Profound Pavilion cultivator wiped his brow, carefully inspecting the refined bronze brick, finally relaxing after infusing it with spiritual power to examine it.

"I didn't expect such a small brick to conceal so many arrays. Without True Man Zhang's blueprints, it wouldn't be possible."

Another cultivator, having completed his own brick, sipped water and remarked excitedly, "With so many of us refining the bronze magical bricks, it must be preparing to open a mountain gate."

"No doubt..."

The first Profound Pavilion cultivator gazed with longing, "Such an extensive operation, could they be turning the entire mountain gate into a Magical Treasure?"

Both looked toward the mountaintop, where the True Sun Fire radiated golden light, a grand and fierce Qi mechanism piercing the sky.

Atop Siling Mountain, Zhang Kui guided the Bing Fire Array, boundaries of fiery spiritual energy converging through Spirit Mountain, the True Sun Fire growing ever more brilliantly golden.

Indeed, the refining of bronze magical bricks is for opening a mountain gate, yet Zhang Kui was forging something else.

Amidst the blazing True Sun Fire, special planks dismantled from that East Sea Ancient Divine Ship finally began to melt, coalescing into a thick black liquid.

Zhang Kui exhaled in relief.

This material is extremely hard, completely blocking mana. Only the high temperatures at the core of the True Sun Fire can melt it.

The effort it took for even a small amount was immense, hinting at the colossal resources and manpower to construct that Ancient Divine Ship.

Of course, there's another possibility.

Zhang Kui recalled the Immortal Path Alliance meeting, where he saw through the Tongyou Skill those black specks on the moon's orbit.

The outside world might be far more dangerous than imagined…

Setting aside his cluttered thoughts, Zhang Kui formed a spell with his fingers, and the writhing black liquid gradually stretched into a curved, enormous circular shell.

As the True Sun Fire faded, the black shell suddenly cooled. Zhang Kui nodded in affirmation; no wonder it could cross the Star Sea, the material is indeed unique.

After storing it in his personal space, Zhang Kui leapt onto the Dragon Ship, swiftly soaring in the direction of Bozhou.

Soon, passing through layers of clouds, the Dragon Ship descended slowly, revealing the vast plains below Ugly Spirit Mountain, where a mountain-sized Divine Corpse knelt, surrounded by military checkpoints, watched by awe-struck commoners.

Zhang Kui landed on the Divine Corpse's head, walking slowly towards the cavity eroded by the monstrous worm.

Indeed, this thing is always a menace. Better to turn waste into value as soon as possible; he had been working on this recently, and now it's finally time to conclude.

In actuality, the Divine Corpse's trouble wasn't solely its origin as the Ancient Wild God. The Qi Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty had poured their national strength into fortifying it with various enhancements— its sole issue was control.

Inside the cavity, layered metallic arrays filled it, leaving merely a small central hole.

This intricate array incorporated his knowledge and drew heavily from the Dragonbone Divine Ship, particularly regarding the Immortal Slave Silver Ball's application.

Zhang Kui squinted, waving his hand as an Immortal Slave Silver Ball, dismantled from the Dragonbone Divine Ship, floated to the central hole, fitting perfectly.

Yet, the Divine Corpse remained still.

Unhurried, Zhang Kui formed spells and solemnly called out, "Where is the Divine General!"

His voice echoed through the heavens.

Buzz!

From the Immortal Slave Silver Ball's center, the arrays lit up layer by layer. The Divine Corpse's enormous eyes suddenly opened, once pitch black, now glowing faintly blue.

With the earth rumbling deeply, the Divine Corpse slowly rose, towering like a mountain, its eyes calm, its fanged ape-like face seemingly less fierce.

Boom!

The Divine Corpse abruptly made a gesture of clasping fists, a massive wind immediately rising, waves of air cascading, toppling the surrounding troops, causing the onlooking masses to retreat in panic.

"Oh my, slow down…"

Zhang Kui felt a headache but was relieved. The gesture was familiar; it seemed the Yellow Turban Warriors had completely controlled the Divine Corpse.

Now, the task ahead was straightforward.

Given the vulnerability, Zhang Kui sealed the cavity with the melted shell of those planks, then gradually ascended into the sky, face solemn, holding the Lu Li Sword. His authoritative voice resonated across the land.

"Divine Court Bell, appear! Where is Tai Shi!"

Buzz!

The Divine Court Bell, originally suppressing Kunlun Mountain, now appeared in the sky, emitting golden light, and Tai Shi's grand Golden Body Dharma Aspect appeared, bowing, "Tai Shi is here!"

Zhang Kui wielded the Lu Li Sword, divine light flashing in his eyes, "By decree: seal the Immortal Slave Divine Corpse as a Human Race Divine Path Guardian Ape Divine General, to guard Kunlun, suppress the human race's fortune!"

With his words, the Divine Court Bell emitted boundless divine light, enveloping the Divine Corpse heavily.

The massive body of the Divine Corpse, a force of mountain-rattling, earth-shattering, apocalyptic destruction, was unwieldy. Yet Zhang Kui had a way to harness its utmost power.

Within the Earth Demon 72 Techniques is the God-Exorcising Skill, a method initially for manipulating Mountain Gods and land deities, and summoning the Yellow Turban Warriors, Six Ding and Six Jia.

This divine skill had a flaw: it traditionally invoked the original world's gods along the Immortal Path, while this world only allowed summoning of Tai Shi's three Human Race True Gods.

Though not adept at fighting, Zhang Kui simply sealed the Divine Corpse as a Dharma Guardian General. Thus, the future Human Race Divine Path would gain another formidable tool, anyone able to summon its divine clone for battle.

With the Immortal Slave Silver Ball's assistance, the sealing proceeded smoothly, the Divine Corpse's eye light swiftly shifting from eerie blue to the golden hue of the Human Race Divine Path.

Zhang Kui chuckled heartily, satisfied.

He was well aware of the situation over the grasslands, and his heart burned with fury.

While unable to engage personally due to other pressing matters, he intended to let Wolf Mountain and the Sea of Blood, those two Forbidden Lands, realize they had provoked the wrong person…
