Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

The star sea is boundless, a scene of solitude.

Being on land, one always yearns for the starry sky, but truly traversing the void is not so romantic. On the contrary, it’s a loneliness that could drive ordinary people insane, not to mention the killing intent that permeates the starry sky.

The Chaos Heaven transformed into a stream of light, shuttling through the darkness.

The Stargazing Disc could detect the distance of a star zone, but inside the cabin, it was always a void, only the distant starlight remained unmoving.

Zhang Kui was not surprised; after all, from the starmap, if the star zone were a grain of sand, the distance between two star zones would be as long as a ruler.

Buzz!

The Primordial shone with silver light, instantly entering the Underworld Starry Sky. The crimson starry sky was eerie, all celestial bodies seemed to have grown larger.

There was no way around it, Zhang Kui didn’t know the travel method of the Red Pigeon Divine Son’s army, to prevent missing them, he had to keep traversing between the two starry skies.

Unlike the Mortal World, the Underworld Starry Sky was much more bustling.

Zhang Kui saw strange Underworld fleshy lumps solidified, wandering through the star sea like giant meteors; seemingly chaotic but seemingly following some kind of trajectory, heading towards the Life Star.

He saw the gigantic scar between the starry seas, connecting the Yin and Yang Realms in chaotic disorder, vaguely, a gigantic shadow surged.

This place called the Dark Tide Zone, although fraught with danger, was often accompanied by many ancient relics, some even older than the Immortal Dynasty.

Roar!

A profound and distant sound echoed in Zhang Kui’s mind; in the distance, a jellyfish-like giant beast drifted through the star sea, its body as large as a small celestial body.

Not all Desolate Beasts evolve into Star Beasts and devour reincarnation to become Star Gods; some depart from the mother star, eternally wandering between the stars.

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes and didn’t pay attention.

Such a colossal star beast, almost a little world unto itself, must harbor a wandering race within, there’s no need to disturb them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui looked again at the starmap.

Logically, the Red Pigeon Divine Son’s army should have reached here long ago; why can’t he find them after searching for so long?

His eyes slightly narrowed, he pinched a spell and activated the Earth Evil Star Technique, the surrounding starlight immediately appeared in different colors, some deadly, some peculiar, some full of spirit.

This was a secret he just discovered.

The Star Skill from the Earth Demon 72 Techniques could deduce celestial phenomena on land, but in the starry sky, it could detect hidden qi mechanisms.

Suddenly, to the upper left, an endless red light spread faintly.

Zhang Kui’s eyes lit up, swiftly piloting the Primordial to speed towards it.

However, as he approached, he found it was a trace left by intense fire burning, with nothing inside.

In the Mortal World!

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, and the Primordial immediately leaped to the Mortal World.

Boom!

Blinding brilliance suddenly appeared, simultaneously a mournful and desperate roar from the star space echoed in his mind.

Before him was a shocking scene:

Seven gigantic suns spanned the starry sky, over a hundred enormous mountain-like Three-Eyed Firebirds circled and danced around the suns, while further out, dense arrays of altars floated, countless beings knelt on them, praying.

On closer inspection, those suns were actually red Evil God Crystal Halls, massive and fierce True Fire continuously erupted from them outward, forming mountains-like enormous suns.

One by one, scorching and fierce qi mechanisms ascended within them; in the largest central divine hall, a bright light and shadow radiated endless pressure, dominating the entire star space, seemingly eternal like a star.

Red Pigeon Divine Son!

Zhang Kui smiled grimly, found you!

At this moment, the Red Pigeon Legion was engaging in a bloody hunt.

In the distance was an enormous star beast never seen before, almost half a Moon Star in size, its body clad in scale armor and sharp feet, like a curled-up watermelon insect, with fearsome fangs.

However, this in no way simple star beast was now pitifully wretched, with large swaths of its scale armor shattered and scorched, energy-formed flesh splattering continually.

Dozens of Three-Eyed Firebirds attacked in turn, letting out excited, sharp cries, pecking at the star beast’s flesh as they roasted the Insect Demon clans gathered inside with True Sun Fire.

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes, letting out a cold snort.

He already knew: Evil God Crystal Halls, formed by the Three-Eyed Firebirds after devouring star beast blood, refined within by True Fire into crystal liquid to create their nests.

No wonder it’s so slow, they’ve been leisurely hunting all along the way.

It seems they’ve grown arrogant, and don’t even regard me...

Though that’s what he said, Zhang Kui didn’t rush to show himself; instead, he operated the Void Domain, hiding the Primordial while observing from afar.

This army was structured simply: seven Evil God Crystal Halls housed the Red Pigeon Divine Son and six experts, while the remaining over a hundred Three-Eyed Firebirds were all at Immortal Level, or just shy of it.

And in the outer layers, were at least tens of thousands of Evil God Servants.

Such a force, with his current abilities, confronting them head-on was purely seeking death, even approaching was dangerous.

But Zhang Kui, having experienced countless tribulations, was never one to retreat, and quickly devised a strategy.

He smiled slightly, flashed out of the Primordial, then with a wave of his hand, the not-too-large starship was immediately stored into his personal space.

Looking at the distant army, Zhang Kui pinched a spell and used the Illusion Skill, shaking his body and growing larger, soon gaining a dragon body, insect head, and centipede feet, exactly like the star beast that once roamed Celestial Essence Star Reincarnation.

Though much smaller, with the current level of the Illusion Skill, the simulated star beast aura immediately caught the attention of the distant army.

Roar!

Zhang Kui turned and fled, as if frightened.

The Red Pigeon Divine Son and other experts perched in the Evil God Crystal Halls didn’t care, but a few Three-Eyed Firebirds were filled with excitement, shrieking and giving chase.

Both sides in a chase, soon left the army behind.

Zhang Kui deliberately slowed, always keeping the others at a distance; after a bit more travel, he flashed into the Underworld Starry Sky.

The few Three-Eyed Birds hesitated slightly, but then flashed, breaking through into the Underworld passageway.

However, before their eyes, there was no star beast, only a human suspended in mid-air: cold-eyed, behind whom tens of thousands of purple sword lights formed a cannon, horrifying evil qi and silver fire brewing unceasing.

Ambush!

Feeling the overwhelming killing intent from the Sword Array Divine Fire Cannon, several Three-Eyed Birds trembled all over, their Divine Souls shaken, and they turned to flee.

Bang!

Dazzling silver light tore through the crimson starry sky.

Lu Li’s Sun-breaking Sword was already terrifying in its slaughter, especially when facing the Red Pigeon Race’s evil Qi, let alone when enhanced by the Immortal Array’s Yin Yang True Fire.

It could be said to be the Red Pigeon Race’s greatest nemesis.

With just a single sweep, several Three-Eyed Birds lost their Divine Souls, their shattered bodies quietly floating in the Underworld Starry Sky.

Zhang Kui let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand to disperse the Sword Array Divine Fire Cannon, and without bothering to clean up, stuffed all the Three-Eyed Birds’ bodies into his Personal Space, where they were completely devoured by the Treasure Toad inside.

Suddenly, Zhang Kui furrowed his brows and looked into the distance.

He saw a starship covered in Scale Armor flying towards him, with an Insect Demon standing on the deck, shining with Yin Yang True Fire, staring at him in disbelief.

Zhang Kui chuckled at the Insect Demon, and his figure instantly disappeared.

...

"He... he did it!"

On the deck was Insect Demon Chonghua.

He was the first to acquire Yin Yang True Fire, break the Sun Radiance Mark, hunt the Three-Eyed Birds, and become one of the first batch of Cultivators to get rich.

It could be said that Yin Yang True Fire completely changed his tragic fate.

As a loyal "Fire Worshiper," Chonghua called himself that and felt an inexplicable sense of destiny due to his various encounters.

The appearance of Yin Yang True Fire signaled the imminent downfall of the Starry Sky Dominator Red Pigeon Race, and Chonghua was set to rise with the tide.

Therefore, upon hearing that Zhang Kui personally entered the starry sky to hunt the Red Pigeon Divine Son, the Insect Demon followed without hesitation into the starry sky.

"He did it!"

The Insect Demon was full of excitement, quickly piloting the starship back, announcing everywhere to the following starships.

"Anything is possible! The Master of Yin Yang True Fire personally intercepted the Red Pigeon Legion, killed several Three-Eyed Birds in the Underworld Starry Sky, and emerged unscathed!"

The number of Star Thieves, either watching the excitement or waiting for opportunities, was not small, and the news quickly caused a sensation, with more and more starships beginning to gather here...

...

Bang!

In the center of the Red Pigeon Legion, the sun-like True Sun Fire of the Evil God Hall erupted violently, and the cold voice of the Red Pigeon Divine Son resounded through the entire starry sky.

"Hunting star beasts and dying, all fools!"

All the Three-Eyed Birds were nurtured by the Starry Sky Evil God Red Pigeon, but only those with excellent talents and qualifications could possibly obtain the position of Divine Son.

With the proud nature of the Red Pigeon Divine Son, he felt humiliated, his divine might enveloping all, scolding the Three-Eyed Birds into trembling, while the Divine Servants on the surrounding altars lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up.

Roar!

A loud howl interrupted his words.

A Giant Ape covered in fur was also trembling in the distance, turning to flee.

"Humph, today I’ve poked the star beast’s nest..."

The cold voice of the Red Pigeon Divine Son came from the Central Divine Hall, "All of you go, if you can’t even kill this star beast, then there’s no need to live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, six more Three-Eyed Birds screeched and flew out of the team, rushing towards Zhang Kui at great speed.

With the same routine, in a short time, the Red Pigeon Divine Son again felt the death of low-level clansmen and fell silent.

"Someone is targeting us!"

"The enemy is in the Underworld!"

"There must be an army ambush, open the Underworld channel!"

The Red Pigeon Divine Son suddenly flew into a rage, continuously issuing orders, and his powerful Divine Thought repeatedly scanned the surrounding starry sky, while the entire Red Pigeon Legion’s True Fire exploded in an instant.

Buzz!

The huge Underworld channel was opened.

One by one, Divine Fire Altars, Three-Eyed Firebirds, and several Evil God Halls transformed into a scorching torrent, crazily rushing into the channel.

However, what lay ahead was empty...

Bang!

Zhang Kui suddenly appeared behind the army, the Sword Array Divine Fire Cannon fired with a roar, continuously forming spell seals, "Sun Exposure, boom boom boom!"

Brilliant silver light, black and white shining light, the entire space was shaking, many slow-moving Three-Eyed Birds instantly died tragically.

"It’s you!"

The Red Pigeon Divine Son went mad instantly, the entire Evil God Hall suddenly moved in front of Zhang Kui, the True Sun Flame Domain erupted, seemingly wanting to ignite the entire starry sky.

"Fools!"

Zhang Kui smiled grimly, showing no fear of True Sun Fire, a giant purple sword crossing the sky, instantly slashing out hundreds of sword lights.

Bang bang bang!

The entire starry sky was experiencing a terrifying upheaval.

Although Zhang Kui had Yin Yang True Fire to restrain the opponent, the Red Pigeon Divine Son’s cultivation was far higher than his, and with the amplification from the Evil God Hall, Zhang Kui was continuously forced to retreat, his Little World inside constantly shaking.

Seeing the other Divine Halls catching up, Zhang Kui suppressed the tremor in his Divine Soul, chuckled, jumped into the Primordial, and transformed into a stream of light flying into the depths of the starry sky.

"Trying to escape, wishful thinking!"

The furious Red Pigeon Divine Son led the army in pursuit.

The speed of the Red Pigeon Legion varied, some Evil God Halls transformed into suns closely chasing behind Zhang Kui, but the entire team was gradually being stretched out, with those Three-Eyed Firebirds and Divine Servant Altars falling behind.

What they didn’t notice was that far away, star thief ships were secretly observing, while the expression of the Insect Demon Chonghua gradually became fierce...
