Chapter 436 - 354: Dueling Across Space, Star Sea Pursuit
As the positions of the stars changed, the radiant light of the Sun Star pierced through the Dark Cosmos, revealing the entire scene of the Moon Sea before their eyes.
Ancient stars and lost ruins, fully displaying the great path’s vastness and mystery.
On the deck, Zhang Kui couldn’t help but cast his gaze toward the boundless starry sky in the distance, with light and shadow flickering in his eyes, unpredictable and changing.
Throughout eternity, as the world ebbs and flows, what are immortals, what are gods? The so-called longevity is merely a flash of fleeting fire, while only the cosmos’s great path silently operates...
Seeing Zhang Kui fall into contemplation, with his qi mechanism continuously changing, Yuan Huang and the others looked at each other, a hint of envy flashing in their eyes.
The Sect Leader has achieved enlightenment again...
As the saying goes, running water does not rot, and a constantly moving door hinge does not get eaten away; cultivation is not about sitting idly in the mountains, indifferent to the changes of time, but about observing the heavens and the earth, allowing the Divine Soul to continuously comprehend the great invisible path of heaven and earth, reaching a higher level.
This is also the reason why many old cultivators have failed to advance in their Tao Cultivation for hundreds of years and eventually their Divine Soul withers to decay.
Although it was their first time entering the starry sky and they were full of endless admiration, none reached a state of enlightenment like Zhang Kui.
Of course, what they don’t know is that Zhang Kui has lived two lives and two civilizations mutually influenced each other; in his past life, there was no such opportunity, naturally leading to greater gains.
After a long time, when the Dragonbone Divine Ship landed in the Immortal Hall square, Zhang Kui also gathered his Divine Soul, with qi mechanism becoming even more pure and true, just like an ordinary person.
"Sect Leader, here it is."
Yuan Huang looked around cautiously, "The opponent has another expert, we’re not sure what kind of arrangements they left, so we had no choice but to retreat."
Zhang Kui nodded slightly, with the Tai Chi Light Wheel rotating in his eyes, the surrounding images constantly changing.
The ancient Immortal Hall gradually faded, revealing the underground corpses...
Layers of Immortal Light dissipated, with Evil Qi faintly permeating...
The space’s light and shadow changed, the nearly broken array flowing...
His current Tongyou Skill, with the power of the Eyes of Eternal Life, has elevated to the level of an Immortal Skill. Although he cannot see the great path’s operation throughout time, nor the myriad of worlds, he can filter layers and thoroughly explore this world’s mysteries.
However, no abnormalities were discovered...
No, something is wrong!
Zhang Kui continuously injected Immortal Power, immediately seeing through Yin and Yang Realms, with the dead Blood Moon and the desolate Immortal Hall gradually overlapping, a strange black mist hiding within it, constantly surging like a living creature...
"Get out!" Zhang Kui let out a cold snort.
In the eyes of others, they only saw Zhang Kui stretch forward and grab, a dark Void Domain spread out, then suddenly pulled fiercely.
Boom!
The Immortal Hall exploded instantly, ancient bricks and stones scattering everywhere; a majestic qi mechanism suddenly arose, with the eerie black mist immediately spreading all around, emitting sinister laughter, gradually converging into a three-headed, six-armed monstrous figure.
From the monster’s mouth came strange whispers, with the sky above turning blood-red, filling the entire Moon Palace with killing intent, as if the whole star itself harbored malice against them.
Zhang Kui glanced indifferently, "Everyone, do not panic; activate the Divine Protection Skill!"
Yuan Huang and the others nodded, with black light immediately swirling around them, those disquieting sensations affecting the Divine Soul vanishing instantly.
It was actually this simple...
The group exchanged wry smiles.
Zhang Kui created the Divine Protection Skill to guard against the Starry Sky Evil God’s soul contamination, a technique virtually every cultivator in the Divine Dynasty uses, used less frequently upon becoming Immortal; had they known this, the Cyan Flood Dragon wouldn’t have been ambushed.
The curse’s power became ineffective, yet the monster kept casting spells, like a puppet without thought.
"Sect Leader, what is this entity?" Yuan Huang asked with a frown.
Recalling the information found on the Immortal Ship, Zhang Kui’s eyes filled with understanding, "When the Infinite Immortal Dynasty descended upon various stars, native Desolate Gods also surrendered and joined the Divine Path of the Immortal Dynasty."
"Born from Reincarnation, they thus exert influence using Ancient Divine Path’s power, being titled as Great Star Festival, held in high esteem, sharing dual leadership as Immortal and God with the Star Lord, co-governing the star."
"The Emperor Venerable, Immortal King, Star Lord, and Great Star Festival, this is the Infinite Immortal Dynasty’s means of controlling the Star Realm; Celestial Essence Star Lord is Chang Kong, with this creature likely being the Great Star Festival."
Saying this, Zhang Kui let out a cold snort,
"This Moon Palace lacks a Star Array, so an array bridging the Yin and Yang Realms was set up to maintain it; this guy indeed has some skill, leaving a clone parasitic within as they left. If I break it, the remaining Moon Palace Defense Array will completely shatter."
"But, once this scrappy thing is destroyed, it won’t fare well either!"
A flash of malevolence appeared in Zhang Kui’s eyes, immediately forming a spell, executing the most sinister Soul-Chasing Skill from the Earth Demon 72 Techniques.
For any curse, a connection must be established, whether through a name, belongings, or aura, and its success rate varies based on cultivation, environment, and distance.
The opponent left a clone, such a self-destructive path to doom.
As Zhang Kui executed the Soul-Chasing Skill, an intangible killing force instantly enveloped the three-headed, six-armed black mist, with the opponent’s cursing whispers ceasing immediately, beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
At the same time, on the neighboring star to Celestial Essence Star, within the starship of the Deceitful Immortals, a chilling, mournful scream suddenly echoed, with the surrounding space buzzing in resonance.
The few Deceitful Immortals patrolling had their expressions change dramatically, instantly teleporting into the starship, only to see a three-headed, six-armed monster writhing on the ground, its heads being those of a monkey, snake, and fox, with twisted scales and claws, further deformed by bizarre tumors, as black light gathered and dispersed intermittently from its form.
Fear across their faces, "Great Star Festival, what’s happened?"
With the monkey head’s face contorted in ferocity, "Quick, sound the Reincarnation Bell!"
The starship cabin of the Deceitful Immortals was exceptionally vast, yet two objects occupied most of the space: one being the Stargazing Disc, layered like a giant millstone, and the other, a grand bell carved with auspicious clouds and desolate beasts.
