Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 386 - 321: Escape from the Killing Trap, Snow and Ice Continent (Part 3)

Zhang Kui's expression was solemn as he instructed, "The Divine Path network doesn't cover this place. The Tai Shi clone recorded all the ruins and Underworld passages along the way. You must take the Divine Bell and return quickly. Inform them that the Celestial Essence Star is about to descend into chaos, and the Divine Dynasty must prepare its armies for the Sea Race and You Dynasty's attacks!"

"Yes, Taoist."

Fatty Tiger dared not delay, grabbed the Divine Court Bell's part with his big mouth, and transformed into a flash of lightning skimming over the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Kui then turned to the north, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and vanished in an instant.

Just as City Lord Jin predicted, he certainly wouldn't let the Great Barbarian King off. Not because of his foul mouth, but because the opponent used True Sun Fire, very likely a follower of the Three-Eyed Strange Bird's Evil God.

The Celestial Essence Star is already chaotic enough; all possible black hands extending from the depths of the starry sky must be severed. He didn't act in the Underworld because he wanted to find the source.

With no one else dragging him down, Zhang Kui's speed reached its limit, like a stream of light cutting through the sky, spanning thousands of miles in an instant.

In less than two hours, the surrounding air gradually turned cold, heavy snow began to fall under a gloomy sky, and a continent covered in ice and snow appeared on the distant horizon.

The Barbarian Continent is located on the northern side of the Celestial Essence Star's ocean, mostly near the Arctic Circle, currently experiencing half a year of perpetual daylight; in the perpetual night, one could see beautiful auroras swirling across the sky.

Zhang Kui concealed his figure and swiftly shuttled through the clouds. Unlike in the Underworld, the Tongyou Skill now allowed him to see for thousands of miles; the scenery below was all before his eyes.

While bitter cold, this place was somehow also full of vitality. Various Ancient Race tribes lived here, carving ice and building stone houses, hunting formidable snowfield demon beasts for survival.

Most of them were survivors of the Ancient Wild Beast Wars.

In those times, the Desolate Beasts and Desolate God ruled the world. After the Infinite Immortal Dynasty descended, some Ancient Races fled to the ice and snow of the Barbarian Continent, taking root there. Even the demon beasts here are descendants of Ancient Wild Beast bloodlines, large and powerful. Coupled with remnants of ancient legacies, they formed customs completely different from those of the Eastern Continent and Huo Continent, still primarily based on tribal alliances.

Zhang Kui did not disturb these tribes. Upon reaching an uninhabited snow-capped mountain, he waved his hand, casting a patch of moonlight, and under the Moon-taking Skill, an image gradually appeared:

The Great Barbarian King and his group were traversing over an ice field, each with a somber expression, and in the distance was a city of rugged grandeur.

Zhang Kui was in no hurry, watching silently.

In the image, upon the Great Barbarian King and his group's entrance into the city, an uproar ensued. No one seemed to have expected such severe losses.

The city center held a grand hall built of enormous demon bones, and once the Great Barbarian King entered, countless powerful Qi Mechanisms surged up and flew in. The inside resounded with a considerable commotion.

"What on earth happened!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"That was the genius of our race, gone just like that!"

"You're not fit to be king!"

"..."

The commotion lasted for half a day before the figures gradually dispersed.

Zhang Kui smiled faintly, concealing his figure as he traversed through space, soon locating this vast city and slipping in silently.

This ancient city of the Barbarian Continent had existed for untold years, its stacked buildings constructed of bluestone, decorated with enormous bones and hides, covered everywhere in snow and ice and enveloped in smoke amid the falling snow.

Amongst the different physiques and varying appearances of the Ancient Race people, some had green faces and fangs, while others had two heads...

To the Human Race, they might appear as monsters, yet this was the true appearance of those ancient races from the primeval era; the once-mighty General's Tomb of the Divine Continent and now the Three-Eyed Giant Beast Herder of the Divine Dynasty all belonged to the Ancient Race.

The Barbarian Ancient Race excelled in cultivating bloodlines and refining desolate beast demon bones into devices, yet lacked any array inheritance. Within the seemingly solemn ancient hierarchy, only physically robust Ancient Race guards patrolled with demon beasts in tow.

These were no obstacle to Zhang Kui. Evading guards and traversing corridor after corridor, he quickly found the Great Barbarian King.

Within the ancient and timeworn stone chamber, everywhere was lined with beast pelts and teeth decorations, spirited light glowing fiercely. The exquisite stoneware was shattered all over the ground.

The Great Barbarian King sat cross-legged with closed eyes on a couch, panting with rugged breaths, his fangs fierce, while the True Sun Fire Spirit Flame on him flickered erratically, clearly angered.

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes, first employing the Stone Penetration Skill, gradually melding into the stone wall. Then, sitting cross-legged, he gestured the Spell, employing the Dream Marrying Skill.

The Great Barbarian King, who was cultivating, was extremely upset.

Moments ago, the Elders of various tribes were complaining, denouncing him, the nominal leader, to be worthless. Though appearing to cultivate, his mind was in chaos, whispering menacingly, "Sooner or later, you'll all perish..."

Then, a boundless sleepiness abruptly surged into his heart.

The Great Barbarian King found himself in a hazy, fog-covered space, everything appearing vague and dreamlike.

"Illusion Realm!"

The Great Barbarian King was startled, but felt something amiss.

"It's a dream. How could I be dreaming? Could it be some tribe's witch cursing me..."

While he was curiously alert, the white mist before him gradually dispersed; suddenly, a radiant burst of light revealed a massive fireball. The blazing white and fierce True Sun Fire illuminated the entire space.

And within the fireball, a crimson three-eyed strange bird was flapping its massive wings, its two eyes aflame, gazing at him indifferently.

"Mogul greets the Sun God!"

The Great Barbarian King was instantly filled with dread, prostrating on the ground, trembling all over.
