Chapter 430 - 350: The Deceitful Immortal’s Scheme, Divine Continent Ablaze
Chapter 430 - 350: The Deceitful Immortal’s Scheme, Divine Continent Ablaze
"This is courting disaster!"
Among the Deceitful Immortals, the Three-eyed Bear Demon immediately opposed, with a resolute tone, "The Star God Red Pigeon is the Starry Sky Dominator, acting ruthlessly, leaving everything in ruins wherever it passes. Even the Immortal Dynasty is reluctant to provoke it. Have you all forgotten the Silent Heaven catastrophe?"
Upon these words, the others fell silent.
The huge silhouette in the black light remained calm, "Taoist Friend Moguang need not worry. After the Formless Heaven shattered, the Immortal Sects everywhere were sealed, and Red Pigeon has mortal enemies of its own. Only a Divine Son will be dispatched, and I will handle it then."
The Three-eyed Bear Demon pondered and said no more, while the others slightly cupped their hands, "We shall follow the Great Star Festival’s words."
"That’s for the best."
The figure in the black light instantly rose, its heavy footsteps shaking the great hall. Once outside, it transformed into a majestic mass of light, an awe-inspiring Qi Mechanism surged up and then abruptly vanished into mid-air.
In a flash, the black light appeared in the Underworld of the Moon, where on the desolate blood-red land, a tide of bizarre dry corpses knelt down immediately, trembling and lowering their heads.
The black light ignored them, ascending swiftly from the blood-red earth, entering the Star Sea, and soon arrived on the Floating Island.
Facing the grand and towering Immortal Sect, this Great Star Festival of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, with its Three Heads and Six Arms, continually twisted, and in the void, golden patterns emerged one by one.
Crack, crack, crack...
The golden patterns spread toward the Star Gate, rotating arduously in the void.
Buzz!
The Immortal Gate suddenly trembled violently, broken stone fragments on the Floating Island strangely levitating, further augmented by the starry sky’s Bursting Spiritual Qi surging wildly, as if the surrounding space itself was shaking.
The massive shadow in the black light opened its right claw, revealing a piece of red shattered crystal from the Evil God Hall in its palm, which slowly floated up and quickly melted into the array patterns in the void.
Boom!
In the center of the grand Immortal Gate, a firelight suddenly appeared, rapidly expanding and emitting intense radiance. From afar, it appeared as if the Immortal Gate had lit a beacon, illuminating the dark starry sky.
Even though it was just an image of light, the shadowy figure felt its Divine Soul scorching painfully, involuntarily retreating a few steps, bowing humbly.
"This humble immortal greets the Star Sovereign Red Pigeon."
In the firelight, three colossal eyes slowly opened, gazing down coldly and mercilessly at the tiny creature below.
The shadow began to tremble all over, bowing even lower, not daring to lift its head, "This humble immortal has matters to report to the Star Sovereign..."
Upon hearing the Great Star Festival of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty’s speech, especially the mention of Zhang Kui dabbling with the True Sun Fire, a terrifying Qi Mechanism suddenly exploded from the flames.
Boom!
The void seemed to light up like a sun, causing even the Immortal Gate to hum and tremble, with traces of melting appearing on its surface.
The shadow was so frightened it lay flat on the ground, curling up and shivering.
After a while, the boundless firelight suddenly vanished, and the entire Immortal Gate had already turned completely red, only to gradually cool off after some time.
The shadow slowly got up from the ground, exhaling a long breath filled with fear, "Red Pigeon truly is the Starry Sky Dominator, even a projection from the depths of the starry sky is so terrifying, fortunately, the Immortal Gate has already been cut off..."
Resting for a moment, it continued to drive the black light back to the main hall of the Moon Palace, its voice no longer humble, "I have communicated with Red Pigeon, and a Divine Son will traverse the starry sky and arrive. Fellow Daoists, feel free to send Shadow Soldiers to harass the Celestial Essence Star, and remember to reserve your strength. When the Evil God descends, we will merely watch on the sidelines."
"At that time, they will undoubtedly nest at the Sun Star, but as long as we eradicate this nascent Immortal Path, it will all be worthwhile. In the future, when we rise, we will eliminate this treacherous bird!"
Everyone in the hall collectively cupped their hands, "We follow the command of the Great Star Festival!"
Instantly, a ripple spread out from the Moon Palace hall, seeming to receive a signal, countless dry corpses on the blood moon in the Underworld began to surge crazily...
...
Celestial Essence Star, Underworld Divine Island City.
Yuan Huang had already returned via starship, not caring about the curious cultivators in the city, and hastened to Kunlun Mountain, leaving the Great Venerate Toad and others for defense cooperation.
No one knows if the enemy will pursue, the Divine Island City sounded the alarm in high alert, as starships ascended, revolving above.
Suddenly, brilliance spread across the sky, dispersing boundless black mist, revealing the sight of the blood moon and Immortal Gate, causing chaos in the city.
"Look quickly, why is there a sun?"
"No, that’s the Immortal Gate, it’s on fire!"
"A celestial phenomenon, an ominous sign..."
Above the Divine Island City, the Great Venerate Toad gazed at the sky silently, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes.
As an Immortal, he could certainly sense the terrifying Qi Mechanism emanating from the Immortal Gate, a feeling of pervasive burning across the whole starry sky.
"Immortal Venerable, what is that?"
Next to him, Zhu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling something ominous, even the Treasure Sword in his body, the Thunder Sword, emitted a wailing sound.
The Great Venerate Toad took a deep breath, "I wish I knew..."
...
"Remnants of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty?!"
The news brought back by Yuan Huang and others from their Moon Palace journey shocked everyone.
"How are they still alive?"
"Who knows, in any case, they are foes, not friends."
"The opposing side has an Immortal Path as well, how is that possible..."
Within the Central Extreme Hall, discussions buzzed among the people.
"Silence!"
Helian Boxiong’s expression was grave, "Regardless of who they are, the collapse of the Celestial Essence Star leaves us no choice but to fight!"
Yuan Huang observed the crowd, even when reining in the Immortal Light, the Qi Mechanism was still chilling, his eyes gleaming with blood light, his voice cold, "The Sect Leader has long said, the cosmos is dark, the starry sky is fraught with threats, what’s there to be so startled about."
"From the moment the Infinite Immortal Dynasty ruled the stars, and from the parasitization of the Celestial Essence Star Reincarnation, we have... never had a choice!"
Yuan Huang’s words seemed to evoke bitter memories, first bringing silence in the Central Extreme Hall, followed by furious roars.
"Fight, our Divine Dynasty will never compromise!"
"Kill, fight for a bright and clear world!"
The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty has developed over several years. Under the operation of the Divine Path Network, it has become incredibly efficient. Orders are immediately dispatched from various government offices, and the state machinery operates instantly, entering a state of war.
Boom!
At Siling Mountain in Shazhou, the True Sun Fire shoots up to the sky, and numerous Profound Pavilion cultivators bustle like ants.
The starship capable of cosmic travel has been tested and, after adjustments, swiftly begins extensive modifications...
Kill!
At Chenling Mountain in Northern Border State, Blood Evil dyes the sky red. Countless Military Cultivators, who are tempering their bodies, don armor and weapons, banners flutter, and the sounds of killing shake the heavens...
At Youling Mountain in Jiangzhou, amidst clouds and mist, swordsmen meditating cross-legged open their eyes and rise to their feet. The treasure swords behind them vibrate with a hum...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Atop Kunlun Mountain, the deep toll of the Divine Court Bell reverberates across the Divine Land, from the northern frontier to Jiangnan, from mountain wilds to seashores. Countless living beings look up; some are worried, some shake their heads, but none show fear.
Since its establishment, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty has continually experienced storms of blood and fire. Both the human race and the Demon Race have become accustomed.
The ringing of Sacred Artifacts signifies re-entering a state of war.
During this period, everyone must obey orders without negotiation or personal gain—everything serves the war effort.
No one complains because they already understand the terror of this world. The Divine Land is the last sanctuary.
No one dares to slack off because they also understand that under this starry sky, lacking powerful strength means the destruction of all things and the arrival of doomsday...
Meanwhile, several secluded training squad leaders break their retreats, each with an overwhelming aura, beginning to converge towards Divine Island City.
Since its founding, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty has seen a surge of young talents, their cultivation speed astonishing the older generations of cultivators. Some young children have even lightly entered the Grain Avoidance Realm.
The Divine Dynasty has conducted studies on this phenomenon.
Some say it is due to the Divine Land Array, with spiritual qi permeating everywhere, even rivaling the former Forbidden Lands.
Some say it is the Profound Sect handing down the Tao lineage, supplemented by the development of all Ancient Secret Realms, complementing the legacy.
Others say that the Divine Land has great fortune.
Only the newly joined Cyan Flood Dragon revealed the true reason.
The human race and all living beings on this land were too heavily suppressed.
For tens of thousands of years, countless creatures have fought for life and death. The human race, more so, has survived in the crevices of darkness. Those with great talent became mediocre, yet those who overcame lack of spiritual qi and missing legacy and grew were no mediocrities.
Zhang Kui swept across the Divine Land, built the Grand Array, handed down the Tao lineage, and opened the Immortal Path, effectively breaking the prison of heaven and earth, naturally allowing countless geniuses to emerge.
This is the confidence of the Divine Dynasty from top to bottom. They fear not the Evil Gods that fill the sky, fear not the darkness of the starry sky, fear not the future, because they know, as long as they live one more day, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty will grow stronger by a fraction.
Of course, confidence aside, when facing a strong and unknown enemy, the high-level officials of the Divine Dynasty also engage in intense discussions.
"The enemy is known to have five Immortals."
Yuan Huang’s expression was serious. "Although we have eight people, there are quite a few puppets on that starship comparable to Half-Immortals, providing no advantage."
The Great Venerate Toad shook his head, "When the time comes, we need to guard against powerful opponents on the other side. Those anomalies can only be dealt with by the Starship Fleet. Luckily, the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower is restraining them."
"The most troublesome is the Celestial Capital Banner!"
The Cyan Flood Dragon turned to look at the Tai Shi Golden Body floating in the air, "Only the Sect Leader can handle that thing."
Tai Shi’s expression remained stern and calm, "The Sect Leader has already received the message, instructing us to hold the line. They will be out soon..."
...
Inside Fallen Immortal Mountain, continuous roaring sounds echoed.
Crunch!
Zhang Kui shattered another large Cave Heaven Divine Crystal, allowing the Treasure Toad, now nearly swollen like a ball, to swallow them one by one.
He had certainly already received the news.
Without the obstruction of all kinds of Forbidden Divine Powers, the Divine Path Network immediately cleared up. After all, Fallen Immortal Mountain isn’t far from the Divine Land Array, and at this moment, the fragmented space barrier outside had disappeared.
"Strange Immortal Path, underworld anomalies..."
Zhang Kui’s eyes were filled with coldness. Various past signs indicated that the fall of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty was related to plotting underworld anomalous powers, and he hadn’t expected his speculation to be confirmed so soon.
This is a new Immortal Path, more sinister than the Ancient Immortal Path because the other side cannot even be considered Immortals but rather outright monsters.
He hadn’t forgotten the deep-seated threat to mortal world creatures in their souls posed by underworld anomalies.
Why are these guys doing this?
Zhang Kui didn’t know.
He only knew that it had become a contention for the Great Path. If this bizarre Immortal Path became mainstream in Star Space, they would instantly become outliers, hunted as monsters.
"Troubled times..."
Zhang Kui slightly shook his head, glancing at the Immortal Ship now unrecognizable, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He also wanted to leave sooner, but he couldn’t neglect this place, like defusing a half-dismantled bomb—the moment he stops, chaos will ensue.
Firstly, there are over a dozen Immortal Sects shrunk by the Array. If not dealt with in time, if the Immortal Sects recover simultaneously, it would be like a dozen Kunlun Mountains simultaneously appearing, causing the entire continent to crack.
Next is the main body of the starship, which is connected to the altar Array, restraining the Formless Celestial Capital Banner. This thing is no worse than the Celestial Capital Banner of Longevity Heaven. If not careful, the entire Celestial Essence Star would be doomed.
Finally, it’s the core of the Immortal Ship. As Zhang Kui looked at the Chaotic Space, his eyes filled with solemnity. This thing is the most dangerous, akin to the core of Profound Yin Mountain, already in a half-destroyed state, extremely unstable.
Furthermore, it’s more powerful.
If other Ancient Immortal Dynasties’ starship cores were created with the concept of Tai Chi’s Yin and Yang mutual attraction and repulsion, this thing was artificially made into chaos, creating an unprecedented explosion.
Explosion...
A trace of fierce light flashed in Zhang Kui’s eyes. Might as well craft a big bomb; whatever monsters and demons come, blow them all up!
