Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

To be honest, although this Evil God’s slave army is quite formidable in terms of momentum, their actual strength is quite ordinary; they only control common True Sun Fire, with even fewer at the Immortal level.

Just as the Star Thieves had anticipated, this vanguard army did not bother with them and headed straight for the Celestial Essence Star Zone.

Zhang Kui watched the Star Thief Starships who had come to enjoy the spectacle. His eyes flickered, and he immediately performed a spell. As the Nightmare Prayer Skill unfolded, the starry sky in front of the Red Pigeon Recon Team twisted, and illusions appeared.

Boom!

The True Sun Fire blazed vigorously, and the massive vanguard army immediately changed direction and charged at those Star Thieves.

"What are these lunatics doing?"

"Evade, quickly!"

The sudden change caused many of the Star Thief Starships to dodge, except for a few of the most powerful that didn’t care and activated their Protective Arrays.

Buzz!

The eyes on the Divine Statue Starship burst into bright light, and waves of spatial ripples spread outwards, seemingly trying to drive away the Evil God’s slaves.

Other large starships followed suit, as they were only here for some easy gains and had no intention of confronting the Red Pigeon Race.

"Wishful thinking!"

Zhang Kui sneered and secretly activated the Ascending Copy Skill.

The Ascending Copy Skill could enhance the power of spells, and the target segment could be allies or enemies.

The power of the spatial ripples released by the Divine Statue Starship instantly escalated.

Boom!

With a violent explosion, several of the Evil God followers’ altars shattered instantly. The beings on them struggled a few times in the starry sky, and the True Sun Fire quickly extinguished; their bodies rapidly covered with white frost.

The Star Thieves fell into silence.

What Zhang Kui had done was so discreet that they didn’t expect a simple sound wave expulsion spell to cause the Evil God altar to shatter.

Roar!

The originally silent Evil God vanguard seemed to have found a target. Figures on the altar let out frenzied howls, and the True Sun Fire erupted, slamming fiercely into the Divine Statue Starship.

"Heh..."

Within the Ingot Mother Ship, the Insect Mother sneered, "Followers are easy to kill, but the Red Pigeon Divine Son can’t be offended. These ancient divine spirits must have lost their minds..."

However, before she could finish, the enigmatic white mist from the Ingot Mother Ship instantly became strongly corrosive, and several altars that had intruded began to dissipate, with the Evil God followers on them disintegrating with a sizzling sound.

The Giant Whale Starship wasn’t spared either; chaos erupted beyond the entire Star Zone, with only the Dragon Demon Wu Tianya’s Desolate Beast Demon Bone Starship managing to evade the blast, staying far away from the chaos.

Inside the cabin, Wu Tianya’s subordinates were dumbfounded, unable to make sense of the unfolding events.

"Have these guys gone mad?"

"Could it be they intend to go against the Red Pigeon Divine Son?"

Wu Tianya’s lips curled into a smirk, "Of course, they don’t want to. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the handiwork of that Refining Realm Master."

"Refining Realm Master?"

The sudden voice startled everyone.

Zhang Kui appeared slowly, eyes slightly narrowed, "What is a Refining Realm Master?"

He had a premonition that the Dragon Demon official delivering messages was closely linked to this name "Refining Realm Master."

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Dragon Demon Wu Tianya took a deep breath, respectfully cupped his hands, and everyone else in the cabin did the same, their eyes keenly fixed on Zhang Kui.

Seeing their gazes, Zhang Kui frowned slightly.

Their sudden change in attitude made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Dragon Demon Wu Tianya’s eyes flickered as he carefully spoke:

"The Great Path is chaotic, and the Star Sea is adrift. Fellow Daoist, do you know, in this age, what is most important for many beings?"

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, "Speak directly, stop beating around the bush!"

"Yes, yes..."

Dragon Demon Wu Tianya awkwardly chuckled, then his expression turned serious, "After the collapse of the Ancient Infinite Immortal Dynasty, a great war destroyed many Life Stars. The Underworld’s strangeness encroaches, and the Starry Sky Evil God destroys. Fewer and fewer places remain where all beings can find safety."

"To be honest, even the current Life Stars are not safe. Due to reincarnation, they are constantly coveted by many existences. There was a time when powerful races seized Life Stars, but they were wiped out by the Starry Sky Evil God in just a few years. There is only one existence..."

At this point, Dragon Demon Wu Tianya’s gaze on Zhang Kui became passionate, "That is someone who refines a world, drifting through the Star Sea Without Seal, fleeing at the first sign of danger. It is known as the ’Star Realm,’ and those who possess this technique are called ’Refining Realm Masters.’"

I see...

Zhang Kui’s eyes shifted slightly as he looked at the numerous ice coffins in the cabin, speaking solemnly, "You want to find a home for these people?"

He had long noticed that the ice coffins were filled with mundane beings whose lifespans and cultivation were insufficient to wander in the vast Star Sea. It seemed that only these powerful individuals before him stayed awake on the entire ship.

"To be honest with you, fellow Daoist."

True Dragon Wu Tianya’s eyes flickered with a touch of sorrow, "I was once a City Lord in a Star Realm. These are the beings of my maternal clan, evicted for certain reasons, reduced to wandering vagabonds."

Saying this, he once again bowed deeply, "I apologize for offending you, fellow Daoist. We await punishment and hope you will lend a hand to find a path for my clan. We are willing to pay any price."

Everyone else also bowed deeply, their faces filled with sincerity.

"We’ll see..."

Zhang Kui’s eyes flickered, and he did not promise immediately.

Frankly, he admired these acts of responsibility for their tribe, infinitely stronger than those selfish ones who only looked out for themselves.

But after all, knowing people and watching their deeds carefully is essential, akin to the tale of the farmer and the snake being constantly re-enacted, and there wasn’t time now.

Dragon Demon Wu Tianya caught onto the implication, eyes lit with surprise, solemnly cupping his hands, "Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist, we can wait, ready to serve at any time, willing to face death without hesitation."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Have you heard of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm?"

He was inspired by the illusion to refine the Celestial Essence Star, but didn’t realize it was the current mainstream, hence his curiosity.

"Celestial Craft Immortal Realm..."

Dragon Demon Wu Tianya pondered, "I have heard of it. It is said to be a powerful Star Realm in another Star Realm, even the Starry Sky Evil God is unwilling to provoke it."

During their conversation, the battle outside in the starry sky intensified.

The Evil God followers had long lost themselves; they only knew mechanically to execute the Star God’s orders, annihilating all obstacles, oblivious to life and death, crazed to the extreme.

Under their control, the Evil God altars seemed like a rain of flaming meteors, relentlessly bombarding the Star Thief Starships, launching suicidal attacks.

The three powerful starships could hold their own, but the remaining Star Thieves could not withstand it; some were utterly destroyed, others terrified, sped away in frantic desperation.

Even the three starships became enraged by the attacks.

Buzz!

Inside the Divine Statue Starship, countless beings fused with bizarre tumors let out piercing cries. The halo behind the Divine Statue erupted into bright light, vibrating the space, illuminating the Star Sea.

With each terrifying explosion, all Evil God altars intruding the range of the Divine Statue shattered, True Sun Fire extinguished, and those Evil God followers were drawn into the Divine Statue, fused into the strange tumors...

The Ingot-shaped Insect Demon Mother Ship shot out millions of white rays from its honeycomb structure, tearing those altars apart, while the Insect Demon Fleet swarmed like bees, capturing those Evil God followers, throwing them on the placenta to be devoured by endless ferocious larvae in an instant...

The Giant Whale Star Beast ignored the True Sun Fire, twisting its tail through the star sky, opening its mouth to swallow altar after altar into the terrifying darkness...

The three forces, each more fierce than the last, in frenzied slaughter, swiftly diminished the immense Evil God vanguard to a sparse few.

At that moment, the remaining Evil God followers’ altars suddenly congregated. All followers knelt fervently, praying intensely.

The voices couldn’t be transmitted in the starry sky, but their chanting grew stronger, echoing in everyone’s minds, ancient and majestic.

The three Star Thief Starships seemed to sense something amiss, halting their attacks, cautiously guarding against the danger.

Buzz!

Space rippled continuously, accompanied by a blinding light. A glaring white flame soared, spreading terrifying heat, as if the entire starry sky was ablaze.

This was the authentic Power of the True Sun Fire Origin.

Simultaneously, a shadow grew larger, flickering with magnificent fiery wings, a gigantic bird head slowly emerging, with three eyes blazing with white-hot flame, standing coldly above the starry sky, gazing indifferently at everyone...
