Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 385 - 321: Escape from the Killing Trap, Ice and Snow Continent

"What does Sect Leader Zhang intend to do?"

City Lord Jin was somewhat puzzled, though the sword light was mighty, the wounds it inflicted were hardly worth mentioning against the monstrous meat mountain. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In the sky, Zhang Kui revealed a sinister smile and formed a spell with his fingers, pointing into the air, "Sun Exposure Skill!"

Boom!

A strange black and white flickering light burst forth again, but this time it was within the monster's body. With a deafening roar, the massive evil tumor of flesh rapidly swelled like a balloon and shattered with a loud explosion, scattering blood and flesh all around.

Cyan Flood Dragon and the others watched in horror. Zhang Kui's terrifying skill could be unleashed within an enemy's body from a distance; whoever was unfortunate enough...

But Zhang Kui didn't have time to bother with them. Amidst the rain of flesh and blood, he reached out and grasped the broken Ancient Bronze Mirror, which instantly roared upwards as the Treasure Toad leapt out and swallowed it whole.

This was an important material for forging the Earth Evil Silver Lotus.

Zhang Kui had long realized that those powerful beings traversing the starry skies needed special materials to extend their power externally, like the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal of the Immortal King and this kind of Ancient Bronze Mirror.

The same applied to the Starry Sky Evil God; for example, the bone altar on Profound Yin Mountain was powerful enough to communicate with unknown distant existences through a simple sacrifice. Meanwhile, the people of the You Dynasty could only make use of local materials, and the stone altars could easily be shattered.

Seeing Zhang Kui seemingly take something, City Lord Jin and the others didn't dare ask more, waiting respectfully at the side.

This time, they saw clearly that the Celestial Essence Star was too terrifying now, with Evil God clones, ancient existences, and the ruthless figure before them... It only strengthened their resolve to flee to the Moon Palace.

Meanwhile, outside the passage, the sea surface in the Mortal World had already turned into a bloody hell. The Sea Race army was collapsing, ships were being destroyed, massive sea monsters were being sacrificed, and everywhere was filled with wood debris, flesh, and corpses...

The You Dynasty, of course, had also prepared for this local war, with a massive navy confronting another Sea Race fleet a thousand miles away.

After Zhang Kui killed the Sea Race High Priest, two Dark God clones began wanton slaughter, moving like no one was there. The surviving Divine Hall elders couldn't organize a counterattack, helplessly watching the Sea Race army disintegrate.

Once the giant monster was completely killed, the passage to the Underworld gradually appeared. The two Dark God clones raised their green, cold eyes and instantly rushed in, only to find broken mountains and scattered rotting flesh everywhere...

...

Black mist loomed, and eerie winds howled.

Above the endless black desert of the Underworld, several figures streaked through the air, chased continuously by Underworld creatures responding to the noise.

"Everyone, pick up the pace!"

Zhang Kui led the way without paying any attention to the creatures chasing below, using the Tongyou Skill to explore the area within a hundred miles, comparing it constantly with the star orbit map in his mind.

Even though he slowed down, the group from Huo Continent still struggled, but no one dared complain, knowing that once the passage opened, the Dark God clones might pursue them at any time.

Along the way, most of the scenery was barren desert and desolate Gobi, with occasional ancient ruins, but most only had mottled traces remaining. The Soul Suppressing Tower was utterly decayed.

To Zhang Kui's surprise, he found several ancient battlefield relics along the way. Although not as grand as those in the Eastern Continent, they were buried with many starship wrecks.

Zhang Kui marked them in his heart. Since only the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty was willing to clear the Underworld, these would become valuable resources for the Divine Dynasty.

With his protection, even the Black Tide could be easily dispelled. The group flew full speed, reaching the Huo Continent sea area in less than two hours.

After finding a passage to emerge, outside was a harmonious scene of blue skies and ocean, with a black horizon visible to the south.

"Everyone, this is where we part ways."

Zhang Kui casually cupped his hands, glancing at the Cyan Flood Dragon.

In the Illusion Realm, he had not only gathered a lot of intelligence but also reached an agreement with the Cyan Flood Dragon. Huo Continent would fully cooperate with the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty to reorganize Yin and Yang, mainly providing resources such as precious Cave Heaven Divine Crystals and some rare Spiritual Ore.

In exchange, Zhang Kui would break through the starship construction blueprints as soon as possible, allowing them to safely leave the Celestial Essence Star.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Zhang!"

No one dared delay, and they cupped their hands together.

Zhang Kui nodded, and together with Fatty Tiger, rode a cloud swiftly into the distance, soon disappearing over the horizon.

Watching Zhang Kui's departing direction, City Lord Jin frowned, "The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty is to the east; why is Sect Leader Zhang heading north?"

Saying so, he trembled with fear, recalling the Great Barbarian King's constant sarcasm along the way.

"Don't be meddlesome..."

The Cyan Flood Dragon shook his head slightly, staring at the western sea with worry in his eyes, "The Great Ocean Race suffered significant losses. Though it was their fault, they are still a barrier against the You Dynasty. Once they fall, the Celestial Essence Star might be engulfed in flames of war."

City Lord Jin took a deep breath, "I'll return and gather the ten Heaven-Reaching City Lords immediately, assembling forces for defense. Hmph, neither the You Dynasty nor the Sea Race are any good!"

Then, unexpectedly, Nag Bright King, who had been silent along the way, suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Both of you, it's a long journey, so I bid you farewell..."

After speaking, he left, wrapped in red smoke, looking troubled.

City Lord Jin squinted his eyes, speaking in a deep voice, "That old monk has something on his mind!"

The Cyan Flood Dragon sighed, "The real chaotic times are coming..."

...

The sea wind howled, and the jade waves surged skyward.

After reaching a desolate sea area, Zhang Kui descended from the cloud with Fatty Tiger. With a wave of his hand, the Divine Court Bell appeared in his hand with a buzzing vibration, radiating divine light.

"A mere few hundred miles away lies the Eastern Continent sea..."
