Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

The sudden appearance of a voice startled everyone.

"When did he get here?!"

"Impossible, he was just far away..."

"Could it be the Star Shifting Technique?"

"Why do I only feel void, unable to sense anything!"

Someone immediately waved a hand, and the ghostly blue light in the center of the ship’s hall abruptly turned, revealing the scene outside the ship:

There stood a robust Human man on the deck, his purple Taoist robe fluttering in the icy fog, his expression calm and indifferent, as if he were a guest visiting the ship.

Yet clearly he was there, but there was no sensation of his presence.

Every silhouette in the hall instantly fell silent.

On the deck outside the hall, Zhang Kui’s lips curled into a cold smile.

He appeared brash but was actually using a Heart Attack Skill.

With such a massive starship, there must be some Investigation Skill. The opponent entered the Celestial Essence Star Zone openly and without any concealment, surely relying on arrogance and some backing.

As Zhang Kui set off, he used the Clone skill, the fake body attracting attention while the true body sneaked in invisibly.

The strategy against enemies also involves tactics. Playing dumb should only be used for a kill. As a leader of a faction, he would inevitably interact with various powers, so he focused on "momentum" and a strong initial impression.

What he didn’t realize was that the opponent was not only shocked by his tactics but also amazed at the emergence of new Immortal Path.

"Interesting..."

Suddenly, a playful voice echoed in the hall. Then, a large figure from the central throne slowly stood up, with a terrifying Qi Mechanism piercing the skies, even freezing the swirling frosty mist outside the starship.

In the darkness, one person slowly emerged, clad in bronze armor with a blood-colored cloak, standing over five meters tall, with scales on his face and horns on his forehead, his facial features majestic and fierce, a large scar running through his right eye, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

"City Lord."

Inside the cabin, every figure bowed respectfully.

Outside on the deck, Zhang Kui’s eyes narrowed with caution.

The palace on this ship utilized some sort of Divine Materials to interfere with investigation. His Tai Chi Light Wheel eyes could only see dozens of ghostly blue light clusters, but one among them caused him to feel genuine awe.

These guys are not Immortals!

Zhang Kui was very certain, the opponent seemed to possess a different power system...

Boom!

The doors to the hall suddenly opened, unleashing an incredible chill between heaven and earth.

"This friend here has quite a temper..."

Along with a cold laugh, a burly figure slowly floated out from the hall, alone.

Zhang Kui finally made out the interior of the hall.

Inside was arranged like a Divine Hall, figures sat cross-legged atop high platforms like temple deities, there were Demon Race with scales and claws, and Ancient Race with Three Heads and Six Arms, each exuding an impressive aura, comparable to Yuan Huang and his peers.

And the fellow who came out, an icy blue light soared to the sky behind him, with antlers and scales emerging faintly.

True Dragon?!

Zhang Kui was astonished internally, though his face showed no emotion.

True Dragons had once existed in the Celestial Essence Star, even believed to be a kind of Desolate Beast until it was discovered that they were the first generation owners of Celestial Craft Pavilion.

This guy, could he be from Celestial Craft Pavilion?

Zhang Kui’s gaze cooled, "Some uninvited guests came, of course there’s anger. Who are you, and what is your purpose here?"

The opponent’s demeanor clearly meant ill intentions, so he spoke with equal rudeness.

"I am Wu Tianya..."

Facing him, the True Dragon’s eyes flashed with Ghost Fire, his expression somewhat playful, "Consider me a star wanderer. I’m not here to be your enemy, just scavenging for scraps."

Zhang Kui frowned slightly, "Scavenging for scraps... What do you mean?"

The True Dragon shrugged, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "I’ve received news that a great danger is coming to the Celestial Essence Star Zone. I’m just here to watch the show."

Zhang Kui suddenly understood, his eyes filled with disgust.

Vulture!

When death descends, such creatures gather inevitably.

The Red Pigeon Race is like the beasts in the Cosmic Dark Forest, intent on the Reincarnation Fragments left after a Life Star shatters.

In Zhang Kui’s eyes, the urge to kill grew stronger.

"I see... Get out!"

Wu Tianya was initially taken aback, then laughed in disbelief, his eyes also flashing with murderous intent, "This friend, strong enemies loom ahead, you must... not provoke me."

"Nonsense!"

Zhang Kui snorted coldly and struck instantly.

Having understood these people’s nature, of course he showed no mercy as his Void Domain rapidly expanded outwards.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the starship’s deck, accompanied by thunderous tremors.

Hiss hiss...

The Immortal Slave Puppets that surged up around were devoid of Spirit Light.

"Madman, he actually made a move!"

The True Dragon Wu Tianya’s eyes instantly flared with icy blue flames, his mind buzzing. He thought Zhang Kui would hold back, but unexpectedly, he attacked without any restraint.

Boom!

Wu Tianya extended his claws, an expanse of icy blue immediately enveloped him.

This was pure cold power, similar in nature to True Fire Origin but of different attributes.

"So he walks the path of Evil God..."

Zhang Kui’s lips curled into a cold smile. As soon as the opponent made a move, he detected it. These guys weren’t Immortals but had formed another cultivation method mimicking the Starry Sky Evil God.

Not particularly evil, since mimicking all living things is also seeking the Tao, especially when the Immortal Path has been severed.

But by no means can it be called good, because this is a path of endless devouring, no wonder there’s a plot for reincarnation fragments.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui struck even more mercilessly.

Clang!

The dragon’s roar shook the heavens, myriad sword qi exploded, completely shattering the frozen domain, and blasted a large hole into the surrounding deck.

"Damn it, help me slay this person!"

True Dragon Wu Tianya was instantly furious, but at the same time, his Divine Soul trembled greatly.

The opponent’s sword qi was sharp, which was understandable—after all, able to cause the Red Pigeon Divine Son to launch a massive attack, how could it be ordinary? But the Void Domain truly made one’s scalp tingle, for it could gradually devour cold origins.

Bear in mind, he survived narrowly and painstakingly obtained this from the cosmic dead-end.

"Attack!"

In the grand hall, neither the figures anticipated the negotiations breaking down so quickly. Seeing the leader’s summons, multicolored lights flashed instantly, including Heaven and Earth Strange Fire and starry sky’s mysterious energy; each body was robust, surpassing even Immortals.

To Zhang Kui’s surprise, in this era of broken Immortal Path, other places had developed their respective systems.

As for Celestial Essence Star, it was shrouded by numerous behind-the-scenes manipulators. If he hadn’t cleansed the heaven and earth, paving the Immortal Path, perhaps these would never have been touched.

"Attempting to besiege..."

Zhang Kui chuckled sinisterly. A siege was the least of his fears; with the Void Domain protecting him, one hand wielded Purple Extreme Sword Light against True Dragon, and another pointed towards the great hall’s void.

"Sun Exposure Skill!"

Boom!

The entire starship’s grand hall exploded violently. Fortunately, the massive array of the starship activated, safeguarding other places, but amid the flickering black and white lights, those figures’ bodies decayed, shrieking as they were blasted away.

Sun Exposure Skill was a group attack method. Though it couldn’t kill Immortal Level, it inflicted unbearable pain, depriving them of combat power for a short time.

"Stop!"

True Dragon Wu Tianya’s eyes were bloodshot. He hadn’t anticipated Zhang Kui to be so troublesome, instantly pinching a spell and pointing towards the cabin.

Buzzing!

On the deck, a black-green light sphere rose slowly, and phenomena appeared in the sky; countless Demon Ghosts flickered, and imposing black shadows twisted in the sky.

Zhang Kui felt a surge of alarm, gradually halting his actions, his expression exceptionally grim: "What is this?"

True Dragon Wu Tianya glanced around, his eyes fierce, but still restrained his anger, coldly laughing: "Do you know the Eternal Immortal Dynasty?"

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Wu Tianya’s voice was full of malice, "This is the Nether Dragon Pearl from the Netherworld Realm of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty. If it shatters, a passage will be opened immediately; then, the entire Celestial Essence Star Zone will be devoured by disaster beasts and Nether Beasts!"

Disaster beasts...

Once again came that troublesome name.

Zhang Kui’s eyes grew solemn; Locust Demon was practically a law-based lifeform, although manageable now, disaster beasts weren’t limited to this category and could threaten the entire star zone, likely not so simple.

And as for Nether Beasts, he had never heard of them.

Regarding the Netherworld Realm, he recalled the star map indicating that the Eternal Immortal Dynasty’s cosmic space contained clouds of three colors; one was Dream Realm, with Netherworld Realm likely being another.

In a different cosmic space, the Immortal Path remained uninterrupted in the Eternal Immortal Dynasty; if this object could truly open a passage, calamity might be upon them...

Seeing Zhang Kui silent, Wu Tianya instantly became arrogant, coldly laughing: "Haven’t you heard of me? Right, you might be ignorant, never having ventured beyond the star zone."

"Here’s a choice: hand over your Immortal Path Tao Fruit, and we’ll aid you in escaping, while also taking the reincarnation..."

"Daydreaming!"

Killing intent formed in Zhang Kui’s eyes once more.

Seeing this, Wu Tianya’s anger surged, clutching the Nether Dragon Pearl, "Come, attack, kill me and this pearl will immediately shatter!"

"Damn you!"

Fury surged in Zhang Kui, swiftly brandishing a Chaos Bomb, "Threaten me, let’s see who’s faster!"

As the Chaos Bomb appeared, all creation fell silent.

Sensing the terrifying power that reverted everything to chaos, True Dragon Wu Tianya’s scalp tingled, his eyelids twitched, throat rattling.

This... What is this?

He could discern that if this thing erupted, even if the Nether Dragon Pearl opened a passage, it wouldn’t survive; the opposing person wouldn’t escape death either.

He initially intended to intimidate the other, not expecting a desperado.

"Hahahaha..."

With that, Wu Tianya suddenly laughed, hurriedly retracting the Nether Dragon Pearl, "Being able to provoke a massive assault by the Red Pigeon Race, you are indeed a hero. We’ll leave now, for Celestial Essence Star Zone will certainly win this battle!"

Saying this, he looked around, forcibly suppressing his inner rage, squeezing out a smile, "The starship is damaged, it’ll take a day for repairs, then we’ll depart immediately."

Zhang Kui’s eyes narrowed, "Hopefully."

After speaking, his figure vanished instantly.

Seeing Zhang Kui leave, True Dragon Wu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the demon bones embedded in the ship above began to crazily twist, and all the damaged decks started to slowly repair.

After waiting for a long time, a Great Demon endured pain and whispered, "City Lord, has that man left?"

"Probably gone..."

Wu Tianya’s lips curled into a cold smile, "He is ultimately a leader, must consider countless lives. Facing a great enemy, unwilling to make trouble at this time."

The Great Demon nodded, eyes full of unwillingness, "City Lord, really leaving like this? Driven out by star zone natives, if word spreads, it might cause ridicule, face lost..."

"Face, who needs face?"

Wu Tianya’s eyes calmed, glancing at countless frozen coffins within the cabin, his tone became flat, "We are stray dogs, survival is more important than anything, alive, there’s hope."

"Yes, City Lord."

Everyone bowed low.

Then, Wu Tianya’s lips curled into a smile, "Though the native has skills, the Red Pigeon Race is fiercer; who will emerge victorious remains unknown. We’ll wait outside the star zone, then... heh heh."

"City Lord is wise!"

Everyone instantly praised with acclaim.

They cultivate using methods that don’t advance but retreat; a reincarnation fragment might elevate many, every opportunity is essential.

However, Zhang Kui’s voice rang again nearby, "What did you say?!"
