Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

The starry sky returned to tranquility.

The spatial fluctuations and lingering light after the great battle gradually were smoothed over by the vast starry sky...

To be honest, the battle just now was extremely perilous; it wasn’t that Zhang Kui would die, but that he might lose, which could cause the entire battlefield to fall out of control.

Although the Celestial Gang and Earthly Fiends Skill was exquisite, how long had Zhang Kui been cultivating it? His accumulation of Tao cultivation and mana was simply incomparable to these descendants of Evil Gods.

Even with the temporary amplification of Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, he was still a step behind them, relying solely on skilled magical techniques and a fearless courage to suppress them.

If the Red Pigeon Divine Son had held on a little longer, the one fleeing might have been Zhang Kui himself.

Of course, although the opponent was not slain, the main objective of this operation was achieved.

Firstly, it was to break the overwhelming pressure of the Red Pigeon Race, causing many star thieves to be dragged into the situation. Even if they were not of the same mind, they could march together.

Additionally, there was the Evil God Hall.

Zhang Kui looked at the massive palace made of blood-red crystal refining in the distance, a slight smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

While on the Celestial Essence Star, he had deduced from the remnants of the Divine Hall the importance of this object to the Red Pigeon Race: it could defend or attack, amplify the powers of the Divine Fire Domain, and even escape for self-preservation in critical moments.

The bottom line in the battle just now was to take down this nest.

With this in mind, Zhang Kui’s figure flashed and landed above the Divine Hall.

Though one corner had collapsed and was damaged, the imposing Crystal Stone Divine Hall still reacted, True Sun Fire surged out fiercely, and the surrounding instantly felt like a scorching hell.

Zhang Kui, naturally unafraid, waved his hand, and the Silver Yin Yang True Fire exploded and spread everywhere, frantically devouring the True Sun Fire Origin.

...

"Don’t let any of them escape!"

"Here they come again, kill!"

The dark starry sky was in complete chaos, filled with scorching flames and residual shadows of magical techniques, spatial tremors, and blood and flesh splattering.

Star thieves operated individually, but because Zhang Kui had scattered and lengthened the Red Pigeon Legion’s formation, it was ironically more conducive for them to perform.

After the Rakshasa Insect Mother and Fish Demon Priest joined, more than half of the hundred Three-Eyed Firebirds were quickly hunted down, while the rest fled desperately.

As for the Divine Servant Legion, they had long been turned into ashes and the drifting remains of altars in the starry sky.

Many star thieves were killing in a frenzy, laughing wildly as if enjoying this bloody hunt.

Indeed, they were enjoying it.

One reason was the unimaginable spoils.

Almost every starship had one or two Red Pigeon Race corpses aboard. These were solidified divine materials, enough for them to advance a step in cultivation, not to mention the Silver Yin Yang True Fire, made sharper by consuming the True Sun Fire.

The other reason was the pleasure of trampling the Starry Sky Dominator Race underfoot.

Of course, though they relished the moment, they were not mindless, but rather cunning like foxes.

Boom!

"Insolent! This is blasphemy!"

In the distance, endless True Fire spread, accompanied by surging killing intent and roars, as six blazing suns traversed the starry sky, belonging to six masters under the command of the Red Pigeon Divine Son.

However, upon seeing them, the star thieves dispersed in a hurry, with various starships’ spirit lights flashing, rushing toward the vast starry sky.

"No one is getting away!"

A low roar of anger came from within a blazing sun, as boundless divine light exploded, marking many slower star thieves with a Sun Radiance Mark.

Yet, to the blood-spitting annoyance of this Red Pigeon Race master, the star thieves weren’t flustered; they calmly erased the Sun Radiance Mark one after another, with even taunting laughter emanating from some starships.

"Kill, kill, don’t let a single one get away!"

Several Red Pigeon Race masters raged in frenzy, with the six blazing suns scattering instantly, pursuing in different directions.

Some slower starships were quickly overtaken, shattered before they could scream, and turned to ashes in the terrifying True Sun Fire.

Although the Silver Yin Yang True Fire was sharp, in the face of absolute power, that advantage was erased.

A chase unfolded once again in the starry sky, with six giant suns illuminating all directions, like tigers in a pack of wolves, using overwhelming force to drive the star thieves to a desperate escape.

However, the star thieves, having long overcome fear, erupted with ferocity. Some fought while fleeing, others quickly communicated, with a dozen starships slowly forming a siege.

Buzz!

The Rakshasa Insect Mother took decisive action, the Insect Demon Mother Ship emanating oscillating ripples outward, seeming to isolate layers of space and block an Evil God Hall. Only two massive light spheres collided fiercely in the starry sky, neither yielding an inch.

"Arrogant!"

A sharp, angry cry echoed in the starry sky, as a Red Pigeon Race master soared from the Divine Hall. Compared to the Red Pigeon Divine Son, the crystalline surface area of his body was significantly smaller, yet his qi mechanism remained terrifying.

The Rakshasa Insect Mother let out a cold laugh, charging forth as well.

Her cultivation and Tao cultivation were not weaker than a Red Pigeon Race master, and with the constraint of the Silver Yin Yang True Fire, she immediately suppressed the other.

On another side, the Fish Demon Priest stood upon the Star Whale, as he wielded a bronze staff, the Silver Yin Yang True Fire transformed into monstrous waves, continuously crashing against an Evil God Hall.

Elsewhere, although the star thieves lacked the cultivation of the two demon cultivators, they fought and retreated, like a pack of wolves probing and nipping, causing the Red Pigeon Race masters to grow wary.

This was a premeditated assault!

Could it be that they would meet their end here?

A scream echoed, as the Rakshasa Insect Mother, now in her original form with fierce claws and limbs, entwined with Silver Yin Yang True Fire, tore a Red Pigeon Race master in half.

Danger!

Seeing their kin die gruesomely, all the Red Pigeon Race masters felt constant premonitions of doom, especially one battling the Fish Demon Priest, who found himself at a disadvantage, let out a sharp scream, and turned to flee.

"Where do you think you’re running?"

The Fish Demon Priest wore a cold smile, with his wide mouth filled with sharp, bloody teeth, as the star whale beneath him opened its massive maw, a black vortex swirling in its throat, instantly generating an overwhelming gravitational pull that ensnared the opponent tightly.

At that moment, the center of the star battlefield hummed and vibrated, a towering Qi Mechanism emanated from within, causing all the star thieves to be greatly shaken in spirit.

The Red Pigeon Divine Son has returned!

"Retreat!"

Though unwilling at heart, the Fish Demon Priest’s expression turned grim as he issued the command, and all the star thieves swiftly withdrew from the battlefield, the Rakshasa Insect Mother not even bothering to take the Evil God Hall.

For thousands of years, the Red Pigeon Divine Son had been renowned across this star realm, and no one wanted to face him head-on. In their minds, they presumed Zhang Kui had already been slain.

The resentful voice of a Red Pigeon Race expert reached the minds of all the star thieves, "With the Divine Son’s return, even if you escape to the far side of the starry sky, your Divine Souls will be stripped and ravaged by the Scorching Sun for eternity!"

Yet, despite these harsh words, the star thieves could not care less.

The haul from this operation was quite substantial, and without the Sun Radiance Mark, they no longer feared being hunted down; some even considered heading to other star realms to continue their hunts.

However, after the Red Pigeon Divine Son emerged, all the star thieves halted, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.

The Red Pigeon Divine Son’s neck was nearly severed, his crystalline feathers shattered more than half, and the Evil God Hall he commanded had vanished without a trace...

The Red Pigeon Divine Son has been defeated!

The master of the Yin Yang True Fire actually did it!

The Rakshasa Insect Mother let out a cold laugh and stopped her mothership, while the other starships ceased fleeing; the battlefield fell silent.

A voice trembling from a Red Pigeon Race expert asked:

"Divine Son... you?"

"Shut up!"

A savage light burst in the eyes of the Red Pigeon Divine Son as he turned to look at the Evil God Hall, whose master was dead. With a flap of his enormous wings, the hall transformed into a scorching sun and returned, and he darted inside.

Within the hall, the True Sun Fire blazed intensely. Sensing his body gradually recovering, the Red Pigeon Divine Son breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis he just encountered flashed in his mind, and with a dark expression, he glanced at the surrounding star thieves. His ruthless voice reverberated through the starry sky, "Ignore them, set up the Sun Haven-Departing Array, I will cleanse the entire star realm with blood!"

As soon as his words fell, five Red Pigeon Race experts immediately maneuvered the Evil God Hall, using five stars as focal points to encircle the Red Pigeon Divine Son. From afar, it appeared like five suns revolving around a single sun.

The scorching True Sun Fire flowed through the starry sky, gradually connecting into a larger blazing sun, its infinite radiance illuminating the surroundings with terrifying heat, forcing the star thieves to involuntarily retreat.

"What is this?"

"What are they planning to do?"

An unsettling thought arose in everyone’s minds.

Buzz!

A violent rumble ensued, the space around the giant sun continuously trembled and blurred, causing intense pain in the souls of all star thieves, forcing them further back, until tens of thousands of miles away did they find some relief, then they were left slack-jawed.

That giant sun emitted endless radiance from its north and south poles, while an indescribable voice came from the depths of the starry sky, like a massive lighthouse in the Star Sea.

"What kind of array is this?"

"Could they be planning to escape?"

Some star thieves communicated with each other.

Meanwhile, the Fish Demon Priest’s face turned extraordinarily grim:

"No, they’re calling for reinforcements!"

...

Crack!

As the True Sun Fire Origin was completely devoured, the Evil God Crystal Hall lost its mysterious aura, and soon extensive cracks appeared.

Zhang Kui’s gaze turned slightly cold as he punched out.

The space trembled, and the Evil God Crystal Hall shattered into countless fragments in an instant.

The already evolved Treasure Toad leaped out, opened its huge mouth, and inhaled, the billions of blood-colored crystalline fragments surged like a torrent into the toad’s deep maw.

Zhang Kui stood aside, paying it no mind, instead spreading his right palm, the Yin Yang True Fire blazing ferociously. From earlier, the Yin Yang True Fire Origin had begun to inexplicably strengthen.

He knew, this was due to the death of quite a few star thieves.

To contend with the Red Pigeon Race, the spread of Yin Yang True Fire was imperative. While Zhang Kui wouldn’t disrepute his name with deceit, as star thieves die, the Yin Yang True Fire would inevitably return to its origin.

As it returned, the absorbed True Sun Fire naturally wouldn’t be left behind, akin to developing countless branches, thus advancing rapidly.

Over there, many deaths occurred, meaning the Red Pigeon Divine Son must have already returned.

Zhang Kui squinted his eyes, collected the crystal-eating Treasure Toad, leaped aboard the Chaos Heaven, transforming into a stream of light, swiftly heading towards the main battlefield.

Chaos Heaven traveled at incredible speed, and before long, Zhang Kui saw the enormous blazing sun suspended in the sky, his face instantly turning grim.

Upon seeing his figure, the Fish Demon Priest’s image immediately appeared above the massive star whale, his hideous face full of panic.

"Taoist Friend Zhang, they seem to be calling for reinforcements!"

Against just one Red Pigeon Divine Son was already difficult enough, if a whole group arrived, it might be impossible for anyone to escape.

"It’s not just about calling for reinforcements..."

Zhang Kui’s expression turned more solemn than ever:

"They’re establishing a space portal!"

Indeed, from this giant sun, he felt the power of the former Immortal Sect.

As soon as he finished speaking, above the giant sun, space seemed slowly to melt, simultaneously revealing a space gate flickering with red light, with alarming Qi Mechanisms continuously emanating from the other side...
