Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 489 402: Lie Yan's Divine Might, Red Refining the Pauper

The great sun blazes, illuminating the starry sky.

This is a brilliance that has never appeared on the Desolate Ancient Battlefield. At one moment, it pierces the darkness, at another, it causes the world to dim. The two eerie sensations blend together, making one almost lose the ability to think.

Meanwhile, the surrounding space is also violently shaking. The blood mist within the range of those rays is instantly evaporated, revealing a dense crowd of Blood God Cultists on the blood-colored altar.

Most of them are wearing blood-red robes, with varying body sizes of different races. Without exception, they are covered in grotesque bone spikes and wear pale masks, extremely bizarre.

"Kill!"

The terrifying rays instead cause them to lose their rationality, shrieking miserably as they wave bone staffs, emitting dim blood light, but soon turn into charred ash.

"Such powerful sorcery!"

The Snake Demoness leader stared hard outside the cabin and said in a deep voice.

The other Snake Demons in the cabin looked shocked, staring at the fierce silhouette against the light, remaining silent.

On the other side, Bo Yuan inside the Chaos Heaven was overjoyed.

They were still on the edge of the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, and he and Zhang Kui had just eliminated the Star Beast Evil Spirit not long ago when they encountered this group of Blood God Cultists. They planned to use invisibility to avoid them, but were unexpectedly detected by the Star Beast, which kept pursuing them.

The Blood Race's power is vast. He was long accustomed to evasion on the Ancient Battlefield, but didn't expect Zhang Kui's sorcery to be so powerful. Recalling the scene when they eliminated the Star Beast Evil Spirit, Bo Yuan suddenly gained confidence in that plan.

After a few moments, the brilliant light and shadows gradually dimmed.

Even though the Sun Exposure Skill is powerful, it is ultimately an area attack, capable of sweeping away the mundane but unable to eliminate the Immortal Level in one go. Therefore, even though the Blood God Cultist army seemed heavily damaged, with the Sea of Blood evaporated and the altar collapsing, a dozen Immortal Level beings and the massive centipede-shaped Blood Beast still survived.

Roar!

A few mountain-like Blood Beasts let out sorrowful howls, shaking the Divine Soul, while those Immortal Level cultists transformed into giant blood-colored spheres and instantly merged into the Blood Beast's body.

The vast blood-colored domain began to expand outward instantly.

Even though the distance was vast, the Snake Demons still felt their bloodlines surging, with a sensation of wanting to burst forth, each of them turning pale as they raised their domains to resist.

At the same time, the centipede Blood Beasts whose power had greatly increased seemed like one blood-colored sun after another, with blood-colored brilliance illuminating the starry sky, surrounding Zhang Kui heavily.

"What a pity, brave but not wise..."

Inside the cabin, the Snake Demoness leader sighed and shook her head, "This person's sorcery is strong, but the Blood God Legion is not to be trifled with. If I had known, I'd have saved him to recruit him."

"You're right, my lord."

The Snake Demon beside her immediately flattered, "That person looks like a lone wolf. If he knew you were willing to take him in, he would be overjoyed. It's a pity he lacks that fate..."

Ignoring the self-indulgence of the Snake Demons, Zhang Kui, seeing the surrounding Blood Beast domains joining as one, the starry sky seemingly turning into a sea of blood, was not startled but pleased, grinning to reveal stark white teeth.

"Good, saves me the trouble!"

With that, he waved his hand, and majestic Purple Extreme Sword Light erupted. Countless Flying Sword light images swiftly transformed into two towering Sword Array Fire Cannons, with surging Yin Yang True Fire boiling within, radiating terrifying killing intent.

"What's that..."

The Snake Demoness leader's scalp tingled, and she stood up abruptly.

Boom!

The entire starry sky seemed to tremble, as two fierce silver lights sliced through, cutting the surrounding blood-colored suns in half as they continued to fly outward.

One shot rapidly in, slashing right next to the Snake Demon Starship, splitting the surrounding meteor and asteroid fragments into two halves.

Rumble...

Inside the cabin, a rumbling shook, and the Snake Demons turned their heads to see this shocking sight, collectively swallowing hard.

Around Zhang Kui, blood-colored suns were extinguished one by one, as the Blood Beasts were cleaved in two, with massive intestines and innards spraying out, wriggling in the air as if trying to gather again.

Zhang Kui recalled Bo Yuan's explanation of these Blood Beasts: revived star beast corpses reanimated by Blood God power, with incredibly strong life forces, often consuming Starships with their bodies. Even if one escapes, the entanglement of organs and corrosive blood would damage the outer shell.

"Disgusting creatures!"

With that thought, Zhang Kui snorted coldly, pinching a spell with his right hand and puffing his cheeks before blowing sharply.

The brilliant silver light shone once more, and the starry sky seemed to transform into a fiery sea, emanating scorching flames.

Whether True Sun Fire or Red Lotus Karmic Fire, both possess the power to incinerate all things. The combined Yin Yang True Fire was naturally fiercer, as the remnants of the Blood Beasts turned to charred ash at a visible speed.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kui also expanded the Void Domain, glancing at the ever-accumulating Golden Light of Law within the Celestial Gang Skill, a satisfied smile appearing at his lips...

…

Inside the Chaos Heaven, Bo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, retracting the Sword Light in hand, his brow furrowed, beginning to contemplate the next step of the plan.

The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty won't send an army to fight in the traditional way, so the task entrusted to him by Zhang Kui is to have the Vast Sea Star Realm deploy forces against the Blood God influence, while keeping the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty's secrets hidden, and simultaneously organizing his clan to leave in secret.

How to accomplish this truly required courage and strategy...

On the other side, gazing at the silver sea of fire in the starry sky, a plump Snake Demon swallowed hard, "My lord, that man is too fierce, likely impossible to recruit into our service..."

"Shut up!"

The Snake Demoness leader snorted coldly, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak. This is just a small squad. After being attacked, the Blood God army will arrive soon, we must leave quickly."

"Yes, my lord!"

A few Snake Demons reluctantly retrieved a gourd-shaped Immortal Artifact.

One Snake Demon smiled bitterly and said, "The gravity of this Star Tomb is immense. Although we can use the core's Immortal Artifact Spirit Charm to explode, the loss is too great."

Saying that, holding the Immortal Artifact, he flashed towards the core of the Starship, but soon returned in panic, "My lord, it's bad! The core is contaminated by the Blood Beast, if we force an explosion, the entire Starship might blow up."

"What?!"

Inside the cabin, the expressions of the Snake Demons turned panic-stricken.

The face of the Snake Demoness Leader was uncertain, then she bit her lip, "No time left, send a message, ask for help from the other side, this time we might have to bleed."

Soon, the Snake Demon's starship began to emit waves of fluctuations, and if connected from the Chaos Heaven, light and shadow would be transmitted instantly.

However, after a while, there was still no response.

The Snake Demons looked at each other, each feeling a chill in their hearts.

Being of Immortal Level, they could naturally leave, but without the starship, how far could they proceed?

In the starlight, the flames gradually dissipated. Zhang Kui looked at the floating ashes around and smiled slightly, instantly teleporting back to the Chaos Heaven.

Upon entering the cabin, he saw a hologram shimmering in the middle, revealing a starship hidden in a massive star ring, and Bo Yuan stared at that starship, deep in thought.

"Someone wants to communicate?"

Zhang Kui was initially stunned, then smiled, "Probably trapped, why not answer?"

Bo Yuan respectfully bowed, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, I recognize this starship. It's a well-known group of treasure seekers from the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, known as the local snakes of the battlefield, far more knowledgeable than myself. The leader is called the Red Refining Fairy, said to be an ancient variant turned demon, extremely adept at searching treasure vaults, and I dare not make decisions on my own."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kui immediately understood, this was his cue to extort a little and immediately laughed, "Connect it, let's see first."

On the other side, occupying the floating Tai Shi's Golden Body Clone, without the support of the main body's divine power, it merely served as the starship's steward, with a wave of its wide sleeve, the holographic image in the center of the cabin changed immediately.

On the other end, the Snake Demoness Leader, Red Refining Fairy, upon seeing the change in the hologram, was initially delighted, but upon seeing the image of Bo Yuan, her smile immediately restrained, a glint flashed in her narrow eyes, she said in a serious tone, "So it's the renowned Immortal Venerate Bo Yuan, pardon my rudeness, Red Refining was mistaken."

Then she looked at Zhang Kui, "May I ask, who in the Vast Sea Star Realm is this leader?"

Zhang Kui waved his hand dismissively, "Don't waste words, do you need help?"

Red Refining Fairy was momentarily stunned, and then nodded.

"Wait!"

Zhang Kui finished speaking and immediately cut off the communication.

In the Snake Demon starship cabin, everyone was silent, still the chubby Snake Demon said, "Sir, he... didn't mention any conditions..."

Red Refining Fairy's face looked unpleasant, "Hmph, who doesn't know I'm wealthy, Red Refining Fairy, maybe he has bigger plans!"

As she spoke, the Chaos Heaven was gleaming silver as it flew over. As the array on the ship shone, it immediately emitted a silver light column enveloping the bow of the Snake Demon's starship.

This was a Profound Pavilion starship accessory, specifically used for excavation and exploration. Chaos Heaven was naturally well-equipped and further integrated with high-grade Disaster Beast bone, producing a strong suction force.

"Quick, activate the core!"

Red Refining Fairy immediately issued commands.

With the cooperation of the two starships, they slowly escaped the star ring.

Looking at the Chaos Heaven, unaffected by gravity and entirely made of Ink Crystal, one of the Snake Demons in the cabin was full of curiosity, "Sir, this starship seems not simple, could it be some ancient wonder?"

Red Refining Fairy thought deeply, "Seems like I've seen it somewhere..."

On the other side, after pulling out the Snake Demon starship, Zhang Kui didn't pay further attention but instead, his eyes rotated with Tai Chi Light Wheels, fixated on the colossal celestial body before him.

"Sect Leader, this is the Star Tomb."

Beside him, Bo Yuan introduced, "This kind of celestial body, left from ancient battles, is usually enormous, attracting surrounding celestial debris, rich in treasures, but once trapped, it's very troublesome..."

"Indeed, a lot!"

Zhang Kui fixed his gaze downward, a smile gradually appearing on his lips.

In a short span, he had already discovered lots of valuable things, fragments of starships, and star beast carcasses were nothing but junk, yet there was half a Cave Heaven Divine Crystal Immortal Ship stuck in the earth veins' crevice and even the Bronze Ancient Mirror Spaceship from the Illusion Dream Realm of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty.

The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty now had some capital, but such things were never too much.

Meanwhile, in the Snake Demons' starship cabin, all Snakes Demons looked at each other, "Sir, why does the other party not mention conditions?"

The chubby Snake Demon smacked its forehead, suddenly enlightened, "I get it, the other party must be coveting sir's beauty, wanting both wealth and beauty!"

"Shut up!"

Red Refining Fairy's eyes narrowed, "Regardless of what they want to do, just greet and leave, lest we become a laughingstock."

The holographic image reconnected.

Red Refining Fairy said in a serious tone, "Thank you, Daoist friend, for the help."

Zhang Kui, meanwhile, was inattentively looking at the Star Tomb, "Hmm, farewell."

Red Refining Fairy was stunned, "The Blood God Army will soon arrive, Daoist friend should leave early."

Zhang Kui nodded casually, "Thanks for the reminder."

Red Refining Fairy finally couldn't hold on, "Thanks to Daoist friend for the help, let's not beat around the bush, what do you want?"

Zhang Kui glanced at the Star Tomb, already somewhat impatient, waved his hand, "It was a small favor, too much nonsense, go, you don't have much money..."

With those words, he directly cut off the communication.

Red Refining Fairy was stunned, and so were the Snake Demons beside her.

"Go!"

Red Refining Fairy snorted coldly, and the Snake Demon starship immediately rushed into the starry sky.

Still, the chubby Snake Demon gulped, "Sir, he... he called you a pauper!"

"Shut up!"

Red Refining Fairy waved her hand, sending the chubby Snake Demon flying, while inwardly she screamed with twisted rage: "Dare to call me a pauper!"
