Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 491 404: Grand Array Trap, Blood-Colored Pagoda

Not every starry sky shines brightly.

It's unimaginable what terrifying chaos occurred when the Ancient Infinite Immortal Dynasty was destroyed, how each star zone shattered, how the Sun Star either completely extinguished or emitted decayed and declining rays, leaving only empty voids and occasional dim starlight around.

Meanwhile, the Underworld Starry Sky was entirely scarlet, with chaotic meteors scattered everywhere.

Fortunately, light brightened the starry sky and dispelled the darkness.

There were Immortal Sects emanating grand flames, there were Divine Dynasty Fleets laying out arrays, and there were teams patrolling everywhere, with the Silver Yin Yang True Fire core burning, as if dazzling stars were dancing.

Aboard the Dragon-Body Centipede flagship, the magnificent Helian Wei dispensed her orders solemnly while her hands radiated golden light as she continuously deduced star skills, gazing at the star map before her:

"Each Immortal Venerable, explore according to zones..."

"Divine Dynasty Fleet, lay the Yin Yang Dust Illusion Array..."

"Teams, enter the Grand Array to kill enemies..."

Following her command, ten Divine Crystal Grotto Heaven small Immortal Ships sped into the depths of the starry sky, each carrying two Immortal Level experts, including Dragon Demon Wu Tianya, Rakshasa Insect Mother, Fish Demon Priest, Yuan Huang, and others.

Apart from Kunlun Mountain and the Chaos Heaven, the Divine Dynasty later only found a Stargazing Disc, which they placed on the Dragon-Body Centipede flagship. However, Profound Pavilion cracked it, crafting ten with the materials from the Reincarnation Core and distributing them to the Divine Crystal Immortal Ships, allowing swift detection of enemies in both the Underworld and the Mortal World.

Upon entering the vast starry sky, the Divine Dynasty's combat strategy naturally adapted, with Zhang Kui personally passing down an Immortal Array Map from the Six Jia Qimen, allowing the Divine Dynasty Fleet to practice day and night via the Divine Path network, effortlessly deploying it now.

The Divine Dynasty teams each developed their own characteristics, like the Ye Fei Team whose Starship, post-modification, soared like a Flying Sword. The Vast Sea Team summoned mountain-like Dharma Guardian Generals, while the Chuhuan Team dispatched cloud-like Star Gu worms...

Soon, the Divine Dynasty Fleet, with Starships after Starship illuminating like nodes, revealed a massive Tai Chi Diagram in the boundless starry sky, which gradually faded away, along with the disappearance of the Divine Dynasty Fleet and Immortal Sects...

It was barely half the time it takes for a stick of incense since the Divine Dynasty Fleet stormed out of the Immortal Sect.

From afar, Zhang Kui watched with joy as the Divine Dynasty Fleet far exceeded his expectations, erasing his last bit of concern.

"Tai Shi, be prepared to assist at any moment!"

"Yes, Sect Leader."

After issuing the directive, Zhang Kui turned towards the colossal Star Tomb, activating the Soaring Clouds and Mist Immortal Skill to swiftly whirl along the swift rotation of the colossal star ring's meteorite sea.

Fragments of celestial bodies, giant icy rocks, Starship wreckage, the dismembered bodies of Star Beasts... This star ring, drawn by the Star Tomb's gravity, harbored many things, but the most precious were the crystalline Reincarnation Fragments.

Of course, they were scarce, only found every hundred miles or so. But the star ring was so vast that Zhang Kui rapidly circled it like a streak of light, quickly accumulating a small mountain in his Personal Space...

Two days later, after thoroughly searching the star ring, a large number of Reincarnation Fragments were transported back to the Celestial Essence Star Realm by Tai Shi via the Immortal Sect, accrual from this single endeavor surpassing several years of accumulation at the Merit Mall.

However, the true treasure vault was still within the Star Tomb!

For some unknown reason, the Blood God Legion had yet to arrive, but ignoring it, Zhang Kui dashed towards the immense star.

The ground grew increasingly near. Zhang Kui confidently trusted his physical strength, but even with the assistance of the Soaring Clouds and Mist Skill, terrifying gravity continuously exerted its force.

Grinding his teeth, Zhang Kui's muscles swelled, his eye flames burned intensely, and he crashed down like a meteor, straining his domain.

Boom!

Thick smoke billowed upwards as the solitary Star Tomb of ten millennia welcomed its first visitor...

...…

Due to the summons from the Deceitful Immortal Influence, the Desolate Ancient Battlefield seldom saw peculiar Underworld meteors, yet Star Sky Worms were abundant.

Crunch, crunch...

A meteor shattered, with several Demon Immortals from the Snake Race dragging a massive worm out of a cave and swiftly returning aboard the Starship.

"Master, how would you like it prepared?"

The chubby Snake Demon held the worm with a grin, cautiously looking at the Red Refining Fairy on the throne, though he couldn't speak, his skills in preparing Star Worms were unmatched, otherwise, how could he have survived this long.

"Just grill it with Spirit Fire."

The Red Refining Fairy waved her hand impatiently, frowning.

Although enduring the ridicule of being called a pauper all the way, she was still a leader, having survived for years on the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, she obviously wasn't foolish.

"It seems like that person is eager to see me leave..."

The more she thought about it, the more the Red Refining Fairy felt uneasy, "He seems to be constantly watching the Star Tomb, could it be, no, it can't be..."

Her true form is an ancient exotic Treasure Snake, with rare innate divine abilities, allowing her to foresee danger and sense Treasure Qi like a Treasure Beast.

The Treasure Qi permeated around the Star Tomb, of course, she was aware, but she had never considered the possibility of anyone being able to excavate it.

Could that person truly have such means?

Red Refining Fairy grew more curious the more she thought about it, eager to return immediately to see for herself, yet she slightly shook her head, "Forget it, the Desolate Ancient Battlefield is too dangerous now, it's better to leave early."

"My Lady, it's ready!"

The chubby Snake Demon interrupted her thoughts, walking over with a silly grin, holding a huge bronze plate. The Star Sky Worm meat had been roasted into a golden crystal form, its aroma wafting through the air, causing the other Snake Demons to drool.

Red Refining Fairy's long and beautiful eyes gradually relaxed, yet just as she was about to enjoy it, her scalp suddenly tingled, her brow twitched violently, and she immediately screamed:

"Quick, find a place to hide!"

Without any hesitation, the Snake Demon Starship immediately changed direction to accelerate. The reason they had survived for so many years in the Desolate Ancient Battlefield was their ability to avoid danger in time.

Soon, they found a massive meteorite cavity, parked the starship and extinguished the core, setting up an array to conceal themselves, and carefully hiding their presence.

Boom!

Just after they hid, a terrifying blood light filled the entire starry sky, a long and eerie priestly chant shook the space, a surging Sea of Blood, oppressive dark shadows like a mountainous heap of stars, and twisted giant entities kept passing overhead.

Inside the Snake Demon cabin, everyone suppressed their Qi Mechanism tightly, eyes full of fear, not daring to make a sound.

For a full incense stick of time, the terrifying Sea of Blood finally receded.

"Blood Massacre, that's the Blood Massacre!"

A Snake Demon with a single horn had a slightly dry voice, "Heap corpses into mountains, suppress the starry sky, each Star Zone has only three, how could it come to this remote place?"

Red Refining Fairy stared intently in the direction where the Sea of Blood retreated, "It's the Star Tomb, those two are doomed, we must leave, those Blood God lunatics are surely plotting something, we must leave the Desolate Ancient Battlefield!"

An adjacent Snake Race Demon Immortal respectfully asked:

"Fairy, from which direction should we depart?"

Red Refining Fairy's eyes wavered, "The Blood God Cultist occupies the center of the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, we can't go there. To the east is the Deceitful Immortal Black Tide Sea, whereas the Star Beast Divine Nest over there is more empty and safe, let's go west!"

With an order given, the Snake Demon Starship suddenly dashed out of the meteorite cavity, headed west, and disappeared into the starry sky…

...

The Sea of Blood roared, its crazed and intense Qi Mechanism permeating the stars.

Dozens of centipede-like Blood Beasts rolled and spiraled, swimming around the Sea of Blood, yet at the center, there was not a single Blood Altar, but instead a towering layered mountain, resembling a grand Slaughter Tower.

Endless killing intent and resentment spread, the tower's body made of countless corpses, Ancient Race, Demon Race, Human Race, Star Beasts… corpses of all kinds could be seen, as if waxed and fused into one, and in the eyes of all corpses, dim blood flames flickered.

On the Slaughter Tower, layer upon layer stood filled with Blood God Cultists, obviously elite, with signature Blood Robes and bone spurs, each wearing bronze armor, their Qi Mechanism frantic yet silent.

Inside the highest floor of the tower, stood a bizarre altar, its material very similar to the Red Pigeon Race's Evil God Hall red crystals, exuding a rich and chilling Life Force.

On the altar, a Star from the Desolate Ancient Battlefield hovered slowly, surrounded by a circle of Blood Robe Priests, each nearly three meters tall, their hoods concealing darkness, revealing only a pair of blood-colored eyes.

"High Priest, why have we come here?"

A Blood Robe Priest asked hoarsely, "For merely a squad's destruction, we mobilize the Blood Massacre, what if the Deceitful Immortal retaliates?"

"The Blood Lord has his arrangements!"

The central Blood Robe Priest, with a more intense Qi Mechanism, rebuked, "Now, with the major task at hand, in such a remote place, someone dares strike against the Divine Sect, we must find out if it's those beasts. As for the Deceitful Immortals, they are only interested in the Immortal King Cave Heaven, once the True God descends, all will return to unity…"

"Yes, High Priest!"

All the Blood Robe Priests' eyes showed fervor, collectively raising their pale, withered hands, their foul blood-colored nails emitting a bizarre Qi Mechanism.

Boom!

The Sea of Blood traversing the stars outside seemed to become extraordinarily ferocious, the Blood Beasts rolling madly, shaking the surrounding space, their speed suddenly increasing by a notch.

In a Star Zone away, Dragon Demon Wu Tianya gazed at the Star Map where vast red spots suddenly appeared, his expression becoming unusually grave.

"The enemy is here, seems a bit tricky…"
