Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 442 - 358: Sinister Enemy Tracks, Malicious Visitors Arrive

"What! There’s an unfamiliar starship traversing the star sea?!"

Zhang Kui frowned deeply, his heart filled with constant alarms.

The distances between star zones are vast, an endless void, an eternal solitude, and those who can traverse it are by no means ordinary.

Climbing Mount Tai to view the world below makes one feel small in the face of the star sea—Zhang Kui’s understanding of its difficulty made him particularly wary of the Red Pigeon Divine Son.

Even the remnant soul from tens of thousands of years ago nearly killed him before he became an Immortal, and this time the real one had appeared.

The Red Pigeon Divine Son would surely pilot the Crystal Stone Divine Hall,

but who is this unfamiliar visitor?!

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui immediately activated the Soaring Clouds and Mist Immortal Skill and turned into a stream of light, traveling while saying solemnly, "Tai Shi, give me the image."

After the Human Race Divine Path’s upgrade, communication within the Celestial Essence Star Zone was no longer problematic due to numerous treasures, and Zhang Kui even carried a clone of the Divine Court Bell with him. A gentle shake of the bronze bell at his waist sent a divine thought image to his mind:

It was the border of the Celestial Essence Star Zone, where countless large and small meteorites floated in the void, accompanied by billions of ice blocks and ice shards, forming an endless gray-white meteorite sea with an aura of eternal silence.

But now, this peace had been broken.

A starship emerged from the endless darkness, vast as a mountain range, layered, just slightly smaller than the Fallen Immortal Mountain Immortal Ship. Ice-blue profound light constantly surged; its hull mottled but inlaid with large and small Desolate Beast Demon Bones, some even writhing...

Which faction does this belong to?

Zhang Kui’s eyes were full of gravitas.

Even after slaying the Star Beasts in reincarnation, the creation of super-large starships had not ceased, and despite an abundance of divine materials, numerous challenges persisted.

This vessel, though not made with Cave Heaven Divine Crystal, could traverse the void, far surpassing the Divine Dynasty in advancement.

Friend or foe?

Of course, a foe!

In the dark starry sky, encounters were likely to be life-or-death...

As this thought crossed his mind, a trace of evil qi flashed in Zhang Kui’s eyes,

"Tai Shi, sound the war bell!"

...

Atop Kunlun Mountain, the Divine Court Bell suddenly soared into the air, emitting ten thousand rays of golden light.

Dong dong dong!

The urgent bell sound spread across the Divine Land.

Countless busy people looked towards Kunlun Mountain with astonishment and fear in their eyes. Giant cities under each Spirit Mountain fell into chaos, then retreated into the underground palace upon the Star Officials’ reprimand...

Inside the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty’s palace on Kunlun Mountain, orders were being sent out...

On the Divine Land, ethereal shadows reaching the heavens rose one after another...

At the icy gorge of the Barbarian Continent, Ye Fei, bare-chested and sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and shot into the sky...

Dong dong dong!

The urgent bell sound reached the stars.

One by one, starships on missions ignited their divine fire, abandoning everything to quickly gather, and the Immortal Venerables busy at the Moon Palace also swiftly rushed towards the starry sky...

The ringing of the Divine Court’s war bell signified a life-and-death crisis!

"Has the Red Pigeon Divine Son arrived?"

Yuan Huang and a few others rushed into the Dragonbone Divine Ship, each with a serious expression.

However, the scene sent by the starship left them stunned.

"Who the hell is this?!"

The Great Venerate Toad looked furious. Reincarnation crisis, Moon Palace Array, Evil God attacks... so many matters already made it hard for them to manage, and yet another crisis appeared.

Indeed, it’s definitely a major crisis. The starship’s imposing presence is extraordinary, one that the current Divine Dynasty Fleet cannot handle.

What also unnerves is the starship’s speed, far exceeding their imagination. The bright divine light illuminates the starry sky, and the endless meteorite sea is traversed in an instant. It’s estimated it could reach the Celestial Essence Star within a two-hour period.

At this moment, Zhang Kui’s voice suddenly sounded,

"I will arrive in two hours, be sure to intercept it outside Thundercloud Star."

Two hours...

Everyone exchanged glances, their hearts heavy.

Blood-red flames suddenly flared in Yuan Huang’s eyes,

"Dragonbone Divine Ship, full speed ahead!"

The other Immortal Venerables, including the timid City Lord Jin, said nothing, for they were the only ones able to respond now.

Escape was never considered. In this dark starry sky, with a cliff behind them, there was never anywhere to run.

Above the orbit of the Celestial Essence Star, about eight to nine hundred Divine Dynasty Starships had gathered, yet the channel was silent.

They were all starship pilots and could clearly see the strength of that unfamiliar starship. To pilot such a vessel across the void, what formidable being could it contain?

Wasn’t it said that the Immortal Path had already been severed...

Despair surged in many hearts.

The Dragonbone Divine Ship was already equipped with dual cores, moving extremely fast, and soon reached near Thundercloud Star, though it did not approach.

Because that massive star not only had terrifying crimson lightning, but its surrounding space was constantly trembling, filled with a horrifying gravity. If the Dragonbone Divine Ship approached, it feared being torn apart instantly.

Yuan Huang’s face turned ferocious, "Fellow Daoists, if we cannot withstand, let’s jointly activate the Dragon Pearl Domain and drag it into Thundercloud Star."

Everyone exchanged bitter looks.

They knew this was the last resort.

"Look quickly!"

The Great Venerate Toad suddenly exclaimed.

The unfamiliar starship, having passed through the meteorite sea, did not choose to proceed but instead slowly descended, docking on the outermost icy star.

Yuan Huang frowned tightly, "What do they mean?"

City Lord Jin’s eyes twinkled, "Perhaps, just passing by?"

Everyone was rendered speechless.

The Cyan Flood Dragon gave a bitter smile, "Brother Jin, this endless star sea is vast, star zones are like specks in the vast ocean, who would just casually pass by..."

The cabin fell into silence, air thick with suffocation.

But at least Zhang Kui could arrive in time...

...

Cold, dark, the icy mist roared and howled.

The enormous glacier, hundreds of miles thick, layered upon each other, resembled a high plateau with deep ravines, or like a frozen ocean, covering the entire surface of the star.

This is the outermost star of the Celestial Essence Star System, Cold Prison.

After obtaining the star map, under the guidance of the ancient Divine Remnant Soul Fusheng, everyone at least knew the names of the celestial bodies in the Celestial Essence Star Zone, sequentially: Red Ember, Red Earth, Celestial Essence, Ghostly, Thundercloud, Ancient Pit, Cold Prison.

As its name suggests, being the outermost star of the Celestial Essence Star Zone, this water-rich star, because of its distance from the sun, turned into an ice hell where even those in the Mahayana Realm cannot endure the icy mist.

Near the equator of the Cold Prison Star, an unfamiliar massive starship slowly descended, space hummed and trembled, and the surrounding glaciers shattered into powder.

Roar!

The numerous demon bones of desolate beasts embedded in the hull seemed to feel the pain, opened all their mouths, and let out silent cries.

The icy mist howled, the starship restrained its Divine Light, and its surface gradually got covered by ice, yet it seemed completely unbothered...

Just like the Immortal Ship at Fallen Immortal Mountain, the boat pavilion of this vessel also divided into several layers like a small mountain, the lowest layer filled with densely packed ship slave puppets, unlike the Yellow Turban Warriors, these puppets generally had multiple limbs, hovering mid-air, extraordinarily agile.

In the middle layer of the boat pavilion, and even inside the starship, were rows of cold ice coffins, within them lay demons and ancient races, but mostly Sea Race, faces covered in ice and snow, breath and Divine Soul entirely halted.

The highest part within the boat pavilion was magnificently ornate, visible spiritual mist drifted everywhere, surrounded by an icy blue Profound Light, stood imposing figures, not Immortals, yet their Qi Mechanism was by no means inferior.

In the very center of the boat pavilion, a blue Spirit Light flickered on a star map, prominently marking all Divine Dynasty Fleet starships with red dots.

A hoarse voice suddenly arose:

"Reporting back to the City Lord, it seems the other side has discovered us."

"So what if they have discovered?"

Another giant shadow uttered a sinister voice, "We received news that Red Pigeon Divine Son of the Megrez Star Zone is coming aggressively; we thought there’d be a big battle, but it’s all this kind of junk..."

"Foolish!"

A cold voice emerged from the central throne.

"This time, Red Pigeon Divine Son leads the crowd, almost with an all-out assault, how could it be simple, Celestial Essence Star Zone must have threats unknown to us."

"City Lord is absolutely right, what should we do?"

"Ignore it, let the Life Star remain, after the great battle, just seize the Reincarnation Fragment."

"Yes, City Lord."

One voice after another arose, then the ship fell into silence...

...

In the scarlet starry sky, a streak of light traversed the cosmos, heading towards Thundercloud Star, using the eerie damage caused by the Underworld to the Life Star as cover.

Learning about the situation there, Zhang Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet simultaneously, doubts arose within his heart.

What exactly is the purpose of this suddenly appearing starship?

Of course, there’s nothing to fear, after all, he has a great weapon, that is the core of the Immortal Ship, an existence that suppressed Star Realms in ancient times, capable of obliterating anything completely.

After a while, the Dragonbone Divine Ship appeared upfront, Zhang Kui’s figure flashed and instantly entered the cabin.

"Sect Leader."

All the immortals saluted with cupped fists.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Zhang Kui nodded with a slight smile.

In the earlier situation, these Demon Immortals did not disappoint.

Yuan Huang’s eyes were solemn, "Sect Leader, that starship did not invite itself here without a reason and has yet to communicate; they surely harbor ill intentions."

"I know."

Zhang Kui snorted coldly at the star map, "You all stay here, as they pretend to be deaf and mute, I’ll go up and say hello."

"Sect Leader, you mustn’t!"

"We will go together!"

Seeing this, everyone hurried to stop him; Yuan Huang was more than a little stunned.

Since meeting Zhang Kui, he seemed reckless in nature, how could it be that after establishing a sect and paving the Immortal Path, he remains the same?

Seeing everyone’s concern, warmth flashed through Zhang Kui’s heart; he laughed heartily, "No need to worry, would Old Zhang be without backup?"

As he spoke, he produced the Chaos Bomb with a flicker, then quickly put it away.

Though it was but a moment, several people felt their scalps tingle, an endless death looming instantly, forcing them to take a few steps back.

Great Venerate Toad’s eyes lit up, and he spoke tremulously:

"Sect Leader, that... is it..."

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, not explaining, instantaneously teleporting out, turning into a stream of light, flying away.

Inside the cabin, City Lord Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "I said it, didn’t I? The Sect Leader has a strategy, there’s really no need to worry."

The others chuckled, Great Venerate Toad licked his lips, eyes full of curiosity, "It’s a bomb, the Sect Leader crafted another bomb, judging by its power, it might destroy an entire star."

Yuan Huang gently shook his head, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "This kind of thing, using it would be unsightly, perhaps it should serve as the Divine Dynasty’s foundation..."

...

At the moment Zhang Kui appeared, looking at the rapidly darting light on the star map, the atmosphere within the unfamiliar starship solidified instantly.

"An Immortal, it’s an Immortal!"

"Impossible, how could an Immortal be here!"

"Perhaps it’s those Deceitful Immortals..."

"Not the same, no wonder Red Pigeon Divine Son is coming, a new Immortal Path has emerged in the Celestial Essence Star Zone; once the news gets out, it might shake the Star Sea!"

"City Lord, what should we do?"

"Is there a need to ask, kill, steal their Tao Fruit!"

"The situation is unclear, don’t act rashly..."

The cabin erupted in noise, the silhouette on the throne was also indecisive.

Yet before they could come to a conclusion, the entire starship suddenly trembled, and then a rough voice resounded across the heavens:

"Open up, check your travel documents!"
