Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

In the Underworld’s scarlet starry sky, the brilliant stars and stunning nebulae seemed extremely close, appearing like abstract art beyond reality.

Of course, despite the dazzling scene, they were still vastly distant from each other. The Red Pigeon Army needed a month to travel from the Megrez Star Zone to the Celestial Essence Star Zone, as did the Immortal Path Alliance agreement.

In the vast void between star zones, a mountain-like massive meteorite tumbled forward, wandering aimlessly.

On the meteorite, there was an enormous, deep hole with a diameter of a hundred meters. A giant worm with a lotus-like mouthpiece crawled in and out, occasionally glancing around with its dark eyes.

This was a juvenile wandering Star Beast.

Their ancestors were usually powerful Star Beasts, who began to reproduce after leaving the stars. Their descendants would also become Star Beasts, but they were a completely different species from Desolate Beasts.

Just like this Star Sky Worm, although weak, it could navigate through the starry sky by clinging to meteorites, surviving thousands of years without eating or drinking, but always remaining in a juvenile state.

Yet if it found a Life Star, it could continuously reincarnate, becoming exceptionally formidable by parasitically devouring its host, being considered a starry sky pest.

Suddenly, the Star Sky Worm froze.

An imposing figure traversed the starry sky, with a corpulent body and covered in black scales. Laughing heartily, it extended its claws, pulling the worm out of the meteorite, instantly freezing it into ice.

This was the Dark Star Fish Demon Priest.

Just as he captured the worm, a massive legion emerged from the depths of the starry sky behind him, led by three giant starships, followed by over a thousand starships of various races, all flashing with flowing lights.

"Quite fortunate!"

The Fish Demon Priest returned to the Star Whale in a flash of blue light, eagerly broadcasting an image, "Fellow Daoists, I caught a Star Sky Worm. Its meat is delicious and tender, quickly come to taste it."

Before long, the Rakshasa Insect Mother and the Dragon Demon arrived together.

It’s often said that the higher you are, the colder it gets, not due to arrogance but loneliness.

Being in a different position brings different thoughts; even a cheerful person finds fewer people to talk to as time goes on.

All three were leaders of their respective forces. After eliminating their differences, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, without any care about revealing personal preferences and pasts.

The Fish Demon Priest was a gourmand who ate anything,

The Rakshasa Insect Mother remained in human form because of a monk,

As for the Dragon Demon, he was a dandy who had fallen from grace...

"Why hasn’t Sect Leader Zhang come?"

The Fish Demon Priest asked while preparing the worm.

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya wore a peculiar expression and shook his head, "Sect Leader Zhang said it doesn’t taste like chicken, so he won’t eat it."

"Chicken flavor?"

The Fish Demon Priest was taken aback, his expression turning sour, "Such a delectable Immortal Treasure, how can it be compared to such mundane food? Never mind, he lacks the fortune to taste it."

After several rounds of drinks, the Three Demons discussed serious matters, and their expressions turned grave.

"Some bad rumors have been spreading lately."

"I know, some folks haven’t witnessed Sect Leader Zhang’s methods, so inevitably, they’d spread nonsense."

"This alliance was loose to begin with, so it’s understandable. What puzzles me is the Underworld anomalies seem to know our movements..."

The army had been traveling through the starry sky for over twenty days. After reaching halfway, Underworld anomalies frequently appeared, forming Black Tides to attack.

Although these Black Tides were easy to deal with, Zhang Kui had not shown his face once, sparking some criticism.

...

On the Demon Bone Starship of the Desolate Beast, Zhang Kui sat cross-legged in a sealed chamber, his fingertips emitting mysterious golden light that flickered continuously, constantly dispersing waves of Dao sound from within.

He was aware of the outside matters, but he couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Although the Black Tides were massive, none were of Immortal Level, so intervening was a complete waste of time, as he had more important matters to attend to at the moment.

This time when returning, he would start refining in the Celestial Essence Star Realm. With the growth of his insights and the current situation, the plan required corresponding modifications.

To give a simple example.

In his first version of the plan, it completely imitated the Celestial Craft Star Realm seen in the Illusion Realm, using a Star Array for defense and capturing Star Beasts for propulsion.

But now, with the angry Red Pigeon Army arriving in ten years, where could he capture so many Star Beasts in such a short time?

The only method was to reinforce the core, allowing the resulting Earth Evil Silver Lotus Array to have star voyage capabilities.

After all, he wasn’t a fool. If the incoming legion turned out to be overwhelming, the Divine Dynasty would have to retreat into the Endless Void.

Is escaping shameful?

No, in this starry sky, staying alive was the only hope.

...

Unbeknownst to him, several days had passed.

In the dim light, the complex Array Map in Zhang Kui’s mind suddenly vanished. He abruptly opened his eyes and instantly teleported out of the Starship.

The Cute Head Skill suddenly sensed something, prompting him to end his seclusion.

By now, the army had halted in the starry sky, with the Dragon Demon Wu Tianya and others standing quietly, looking solemnly ahead.

They were facing the Celestial Capital Star Zone, with the same star at its center, surrounded by the same endless Meteorite Sea. However, within the Meteorite Sea, there were countless Underworld anomalies lurking, masses of dark shadows swirling within, sending chills down one’s spine.

It was Zhang Kui’s first time seeing so many Underworld anomalies.

Wu Tianya said in a deep voice, "There have been rumors for months that all the strange entities in the Underworld near the Star Zones are gathering in the Celestial Capital Star Zone. I didn’t expect their numbers to be so astonishing!"

"Not only that."

The Rakshasa Insect Mother extended her right hand, and layers of bewildering mist continuously surged from the void into her palm. "We had already discovered that those Deceitful Immortals seem to have mastered an unknown technique capable of tracking us from a distance, and now it’s finally confirmed."

Zhang Kui looked down, and in the palm of the Rakshasa Insect Mother, countless fine black mists were captured and gathered into a strange eye, observing everyone around.

"This Investigation Skill is quite exquisite."

Zhang Kui became interested, reaching out to hold the eye in his hand, Tai Chi Light Wheel in his eyes revolving to investigate.

Strangely, although it was not harmful, he couldn’t discern its principle, as it was entirely beyond his understanding.

Buzz!

The eyeball suddenly vibrated, and then a cold voice rang in everyone’s mind, "If you don’t want to die, get lost!"

"Ha, what big talk."

Zhang Kui laughed, his right hand pinched a Spell, and a black light drilled into the eye like a Spiritual Snake.

He performed the Soul-Chasing Skill, the only Curse Skill among the Earth Demon 72 Techniques, equivalent to the Nail-Head Seven Arrows in the Celestial Gang Skill, with formidable power.

Hiss...

The eyeball swelled violently, thrashing around erratically.

With a sudden bang, it exploded, and somewhere in the Celestial Capital Star Zone, a heart-wrenching scream echoed.

Although distant, Zhang Kui could also sense the instant eruption of the curse’s power, though it did not kill the opponent, it certainly was unpleasant for them.

Sure enough, seemingly under some command, endless Underworld strange entities in the Meteorite Sea began to riot.

Zhang Kui squinted his eyes and smirked, "Looks like we came to the right place, with all this secrecy, they must be up to no good."

To be honest, the Starry Sky Evil Gods are a scourge of the cosmos, and the Deceit Immortal Path is no better. While they can command Underworld entities, they also bring Underworld forces into the Mortal World, causing serious consequences.

"Sect Leader Zhang, what should we do?"

Wu Tianya looked ahead, his eyes solemn.

Zhang Kui’s face remained calm, "Have the Array Maps I passed down been refined?"

Wu Tianya nodded, "Every Starship is equipped."

"Then there’s no problem."

Zhang Kui smiled slightly, "Just follow the pre-arranged plan."

The Three Demons nodded and immediately issued orders, and on each Starship, a silver tower slowly rose, emitting endless Divine Light, connecting all the Starships together.

Attacking Underworld entities would be impossible without the Soul Suppressing Tower.

This thing is well-known, and its refining method is not profound, so Zhang Kui simply spread it around, but it’s equipped with Yin Yang True Fire.

In an instant, countless Underworld entities seemed to obscure the starry sky, surging towards the fleet with a momentum that devours everything.

Boom!

Upon colliding with the Soul Suppressing Tower’s Domain, a sky-full of flames ignited immediately, making it impossible to approach the fleet.

The initially panicked various races and star thieves instantly relaxed; they were used to solo operations, and aside from hunting the Red Pigeon Divine Son, this was their first experience in such a massive group combat.

Buzz!

Among the Underworld entities, meteorite-like light clusters rose one by one.

"It’s Immortal Level, I’ll handle it!"

Before Wu Tianya and others could act, Zhang Kui rushed over instantly, endless Divine Fire spreading wildly, Sword Qi sweeping in all directions.

For him, these Immortal Level entities were no longer a threat.

Meanwhile, the vast fleet also began to advance, burning continuously with the Divine Fire Domain, appearing even more formidable than Zhang Kui’s side.

This was Zhang Kui’s goal: being alone, his abilities were limited; he just needed to kill the Immortal Level entities and harvest the Golden Light of Law, leaving these people to block the meddling lesser foes.

Many star thieves couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, as it was their first time witnessing Zhang Kui’s prowess.

In no time, Zhang Kui returned full of murderous aura.

The fleet forged ahead amidst countless Underworld entities, and shortly, encountered several more Immortal Level ones.

"I’ll go!"

With a low shout, Zhang Kui, without waiting for Wu Tianya and others to move, entered the starry sky like a Divine Spirit, showing all his skills and killing frenzy.

Many star thieves nodded slightly.

Zhang Kui’s cultivation far exceeded their expectations.

"I’ll go!"

"Stand aside, I’ll handle it!"

With Zhang Kui repeatedly exterminating the most challenging Immortal Level entities, not allowing anyone else to take action, many people’s expressions changed.

This Sect Leader Zhang, taking the lead, perhaps the Immortal Path Alliance has great potential...
