Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 289 - 274: The Underworld’s Abnormalities, Immortal Sect Emerges (2)
This endless Black Tide formed by strange phenomena from the Underworld, although obstructed here, did not stop. Instead, it continued to spread from the sides of the Soul Suppressing Tower's domain towards those wandering Yin Souls.
Soon, the Yin Souls at the outermost edge were swallowed up by these things, as if they were smoke, and absorbed into their bellies.
"Courting death!"
Zhang Kui's furious shout echoed through the heavens and earth, instantly activating the Dragonbone Divine Ship.
This revealed the true power of the Dragonbone Divine Ship. More than thirty Yellow Turban Warriors suddenly appeared on the deck, setting up dragon-bone ship crossbows, and arrows of True Sun Fire shot forth.
As the Dragon Ship moved, innumerable strange phenomena from the Underworld were swept into the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower's domain.
These things spewed green blood, madly shrieking, then erupted in flames and turned to ash. Some that appeared powerful went completely berserk and lunged, but they too disintegrated, shot into ashes by the Yellow Turban Warriors using the dragon-bone ship crossbows.
However, Zhang Kui felt no joy.
Because amidst the wailing of the Yin Souls and the mad mutterings of the strange phenomena, another sound emerged.
This time it came from underground, like endless mountains colliding, rumbling through the earth and sky.
Something shocking happened.
Countless Yin Souls seemed to suddenly have a target, diving underground and disappearing, like a river of stars vanishing into the Nine Netherworld.
Zhang Kui used the Tongyou Skill, the Divine Light piercing the earth, yet all he could see was the river of Yin Souls continuously heading downwards, gradually disappearing into the endless darkness.
The underground of the Underworld... there's something strange!
What is it?
Although curious, Zhang Kui had no time to investigate, because as the Yin Souls disappeared, the strange phenomena from the Underworld immediately targeted them.
The group then realized, many of these strange phenomena could fly — some emitted black light from their bones, some were tumors with bat wings, and the icy darkness covered the sky, with every visible eye filled with madness and venom.
A strange scene appeared between heaven and earth, countless indescribable phenomena forming a terrifying Black Tide, while the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower blazed with True Sun Fire, and the Dragonbone Divine Ship shone with Divine Light, like the last beacon of light before darkness submerged the world.
At this moment, even the calmest Yuan Huang showed signs of panic, his eyes flashing with blood-red light, "Sect Leader Zhang, Grand Master Zhang, stop playing, let's go quickly!"
The Princess of Chai Kingdom, Chi Liyan, was even paler with fright, "Sect Leader Zhang, this node can no longer be used, let's return to the mortal world first, we can deliberate later."
"We can't return..."
Zhang Kui looked around, his face gloomy, "The node is within the Black Tide's range. If we open the passage now, who knows if these things will follow us out, that would be a calamity for the Divine Continent."
The demons immediately fell silent, knowing Zhang Kui's character, even in death he wouldn't open the passage at this moment.
Zhang Kui looked at them and said solemnly, "Let's leave first, see if these things will disperse..."
As he spoke, the Dragonbone Divine Ship had already turned, accelerating like a golden streak of light, rapidly heading southeast.
Outside, Zhang Kui would certainly perform calculations, but here, with neither starlight nor earth's energy, he was blindly running, leaving it to chance.
The Dragonbone Divine Ship's speed was too fast, though it held the power of the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower's domain, the sky was densely packed with giant phenomena, ignited by True Sun Fire, it was as if countless meteors blazed against the golden protective shield.
Though the defense array remained unbreached, the Dragonbone Divine Ship began to violently tremble.
"Warriors, clear the path!"
Zhang Kui's expression unchanged, issued an order, and the Yellow Turban Warriors immediately turned their dragon-bone ship crossbows, with barrages of True Sun Fire arrows raining forward, obliterating the front anomalies into ash.
From a distance, it appeared as if the Dragon Ship spewed Divine Fire, burning a path through the endless darkness.
The Heavy Demons were immediately invigorated, simultaneously striking back, their skill was countered by True Sun Fire, so they focused on assisting the flanks, for a time, demon fire and colorful toxic mist filled the sky.
Their skill's range was far beyond the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower's domain, and Zhang Kui understood why these phenomena were so dreadful.
They could also unleash black-light skills, beams, ghostly mists, flames... instantly nullifying the demonic skills.
Zhang Kui's gaze was solemn, these were all Mahayana Realm skills, their power earth-shattering, but those anomalies' black-light skills seemed to possess a devouring attribute, greatly weakening the demons' powers.
Perhaps, only special forces could restrain these things.
True Sun Fire devours all, naturally a counter, and skills targeting the Divine Soul should also work, though limited power, like this node's Soul Suppressing Tower, could be breached.
There should be more.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kui began experimenting one by one.
First was his purple Sword Gang, thousands of radiative Sword Lights surged like tides, many anomalies sliced to pieces, and the wounded quickly decomposed.
This mysterious Gang Evil's origin was beyond the sky, unsurprising to Zhang Kui, yet when time allowed, checking what lay under that trench was in order.
Next was Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
Similarly, its power was formidable, countless strange phenomena shattered like ice sculptures, subsequently turning to black ash and dissipating.
The group of demons watched with envy.
They had long noticed this pattern, but whether True Sun Fire or Red Lotus Karmic Fire, both were difficult to provoke, let alone wield as skillfully as Zhang Kui blended them into skills.
As for that purple Sword Light...
Alas, forget it.
