Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 391 - 324: Divine Fire Overpowers the Enemy, Star God Red Pigeon

Chapter 391: Chapter 324: Divine Fire Overpowers the Enemy, Star God Red Pigeon

Capital of the Barbarian Continent Tribal Alliance.

Snow fine as dust whistled with the cold wind, raging between the rough buildings constructed from blue stone and bone.

The roads were a vast expanse of white, covered in thick snow. The ancient tribe men wrapped in layers of fur coats walked through it, talking loudly or hurrying along, repeating their day-to-day lives.

Rumble... Rumble...

Vigorous tremors continuously echoed, causing the snow on rooftops to crash down, yet the sturdy structures did not collapse.

Many people paused, looking bewildered.

"What happened?"

"Could it be, the earth dragon turned over?"

"What’s an earth dragon? Is it tasty?"

It wasn’t that they were inexperienced; in reality, this continent was layered with permafrost for ten thousand years, situated in a special region, and earthquakes were rare.

Yet, within the city, many felt wary, as massive presences with auras deep as the abyss suddenly rose, all looking toward the uninhabited northern wasteland.

"This commotion... it seems to be coming from the direction of the Holy Mountain."

"What happened over there?"

"How long has it been since Mogul left?"

"Kamo Clan Leader, are you saying..."

"Humph, he’s so arrogant, causing the fall of several talented warriors from our tribe. Many plan to dethrone him, strip him of his lineage, and degrade him to a slave. I’m afraid he knows this himself!"

"Could it be, he’s found some support?"

"Let’s go and see for ourselves!"

With that, terrifying figures, carrying a sky full of blood-colored evil aura, march with thunder and lightning towards the Holy Mountain.

Without the burden of soldiers and slaves, the tribal elders moved fast, reaching the boundless snowy expanse of the Holy Mountain in less than half a day. What greeted them made their jaws drop.

The towering snowy mountain, known as the "Heaven-Reaching Pillar" and "Holy Land of the Ancient Tribe," had collapsed, leaving only half remaining. Massive rocks and ice piled all around, and the ancient Desolate God statues lay toppled everywhere.

However, what caught their attention even more was the half-destroyed Crystal Stone Divine Hall atop the half-buried ice mountain. Red crystals resembling emeralds, and gold and silver flame blazing fiercely, releasing suffocating qi and dazzling brilliance.

"What’s that?"

"An Ancient Divine Hall, it’s the legendary Ancient Divine Hall!"

Their eyes were filled with greed.

...

Divine Continent, the Underworld, Profound Yin Mountain Ancient Battlefield.

Black mist roiled, and the yin wind screamed.

An extensive battle had concluded, and white ash floated over the mountains. Starships hovered mid-air, while numerous squad members meticulously searched the ground for Immortal Slave silver spheres.

The most formidable Dragonbone Divine Ship burned with golden flames, hovering at the highest point, seemingly monitoring the entire battlefield.

With the restriction of materials lifted, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty’s starship program officially launched, and under the national system, the Profound Pavilion’s refining of starships became increasingly adept, producing a new starship from Shazhou’s Siling Mountain every three days.

While Zhang Kui was away in the ocean and Barbarian Continent, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty already possessed thirty starships.

Now, not only was there a starship fleet in the Underworld patrolling everywhere, but a fleet was also urgently stationed along the coastal borders to defend against potential attacks from the You Dynasty and Sea Race.

The Celestial Pavilion Mahayana Realm members no longer needed to crowd together as before. Almost everyone had a starship, carrying trained Divine Island City squad members.

In such a scenario, the consumption of divine materials was enormous. Although the usage of Cave Heaven Divine Crystal was relatively low, with supplies from Zhang Kui’s explorations and recent deliveries from Huo Continent’s Cyan Flood Dragon, other resources remained in short supply.

The primary material, "Star Armor," was abundant, with giant ancient battlefields providing sufficient resources for refining hundreds of starships, not to mention the continuous discoveries from explorative squads in the barren Underworld.

However, the Immortal Slave silver sphere became a rare commodity, forcing the Profound Pavilion to reduce its usage drastically. Besides the Dragonbone Divine Ship serving as the flagship, each starship retained only three silver spheres: one for starship operation, two for array weapon control, while the remaining Divine Fire Cannons were manually operated since manpower was abundant on ships.

Therefore, to prevent the scarce Immortal Slave silver spheres from being stolen, Yuan Huang organized a major operation, thoroughly clearing the Underworld relics in the Profound Yin Mountain.

On the ground, Ye Fei waved, sweeping away the white ash left by Burning Artifact Demon, cautiously pocketing an Immortal Slave silver sphere. He then glanced at the sky, bent his legs, and leaped hundreds of meters high, landing on the Dragonbone Divine Ship’s deck.

"Venerable Yuanhuang, this area is clear."

Ye Fei handed the Immortal Slave silver sphere to the Profound Pavilion envoy, then bowed to Yuan Huang.

Yuan Huang, still clad in a black robe, nodded slightly upon hearing this, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. "Your master, Zhu Sheng, is also a Sword Dao genius. Once he completes his seclusion, he will surely advance to the Mahayana. It’s a pity he has to guard Divine Island City; otherwise, you could have boarded his starship."

Ye Fei bowed and smiled, "Following the Venerable, I’ve learned a lot as well. My foundation is still shallow, so I’ll probably rely on the Dragonbone Divine Ship for a long time; I hope the Venerable won’t mind."

Yuan Huang laughed heartily, "Hahaha... when you have your own starship, you’ll probably be eager to leave."

Yuan Huang, tasked with nurturing Ye Fei by Zhang Kui and Zhu Sheng, initially thought of him as a burden, but unexpectedly Ye Fei proved sharp and capable, quickly becoming a competent assistant.

Thinking of this, Yuan Huang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The potential of the human race, once unleashed, indeed gave rise to countless talents. Besides Ye Fei, the most renowned wasn’t in the Divine Island City but in the Earth Pavilion, Helian Wei.

Though Helian Wei was just an ordinary cultivator, she was a genius in commanding starship battles and served as Grand Marshal Helian Boxiong’s deputy, deploying defenses in Quanzhou, capable of handling matters independently.

In addition to her, there was Manzudia with unparalleled divine skills, Chu Huan pioneering starship swarm tactics... the future of the human race looked promising.

But, time waits for no one...

Reflecting on the battle reports Fatty Tiger brought back, shadows loomed over Yuan Huang’s heart.

Though not human himself, and initially following Zhang Kui for the opportunity to become an Immortal, Yuan Huang now found himself resonating with this nation, witnessing the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty’s steady growth and its unmatched potential.

The darker the outside world, the more precious the existence of the Divine Dynasty becomes. Not just him, but this view has become prevalent among the numerous Demon Race members in the Divine Continent today.

At this moment, Yuan Huang suddenly furrowed his brows and glanced downward, only to see all the starships suddenly begin to slowly sink.

"Why are they breaking formation?"

Yuan Huang was immediately a bit irritated, having learned from battle reports that whether it was the Sea Race, the You Dynasty, or even the Barbarian Continent’s Mahayana Realm numbers, they all far exceeded those of the Divine Continent. The Starship Fleet was their greatest reliance.

It doesn’t matter how high your cultivation is, unless you reach the level of Sect Leader Zhang, every Mahayana must strictly comply.

If this were on the battlefield, who knows what could happen.

"Something’s wrong with the starship core!"

A Mahayana Realm Yaksha shouted in fear, "All the cores of the starships are weakening. If they don’t descend, they’ll crash!"

"What?!"

Yuan Huang’s expression changed dramatically. No one knew better than him what this meant. He immediately sounded the Divine Court Bell hanging at the bow of the ship.

"Tai Shi, what happened? Did something happen to the Sect Leader?"

Tai Shi’s Golden Body Dharma Aspect strode forth, looking grave, "Venerable Yuan Huang, rest assured. Although beyond the detection range of the Divine Path, the main body of the Divine Court Bell is intact; the Sect Leader is temporarily safe."

"We can’t just sit here and wait..."

Blood glowed in Yuan Huang’s eyes, killing intent surging, "Immediately gather all fleets to the Barbarian Continent. If something happens to the Sect Leader, the entire continent will pay!"

Tai Shi’s face turned somber, "Agreed!"

Just then, there was another exclamation from below.

"The core has recovered!"

"It’s already exceeding its original power and is still strengthening!"

"It’s more than tripled, quickly adjust the array distribution, rotate to the Divine Fire Cannon. Damn, don’t be afraid to waste it, fire at will..."

"This won’t work, we need to go back to Siling Mountain to adjust..."

After a chaos, the Starship Fleet once again adjusted and got into formation. Yuan Huang and Tai Shi looked at each other gravely, both gazing northward.

"What happened over there?"

...

In the Holy Mountain of the Barbarian Continent, inside the Crystal Stone Divine Hall.

The scorching True Sun Fire surged violently, continuously emitting waves of white light, its terrifying qi mechanism seemingly ready to burn everything to ashes.

However, within the center of the True Sun Fire, the remnant soul of the strange bird was tumbling up and down, letting out cries that pierced deep into the soul, full of agony. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

On its body, two flames were entangled—one golden flame of True Sun Fire origin, vast and fierce, and one silver flame of Yin Yang True Fire origin, chaotic and mysterious.

The True Sun Fire origin was numerically superior but was being restrained by the Yin Yang True Fire, burning while also devouring. In this cycle of gain and loss, the remnant soul of the three-eyed strange bird grew increasingly weak.

On the distant ground, Zhang Kui’s body was nearly shattered, countless tiny pieces of flesh regrowing continuously. Although unable to move, his eyes shone fiercely, staring intently at the remnant soul of the strange bird.

In that instant, although the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" was powerful, slicing open the magnetic light thunder net formed by the black spots of True Sun Fire with Purple Extreme Light, its leaked power shattered his entire body, almost killing him.

However, the strange bird’s remnant soul fared even worse.

Zhang Kui had long known that for the Yin Yang True Fire to grow, it must absorb the origins of True Sun Fire and Red Lotus Karmic Fire, but he hadn’t expected it to be so fierce.

Within the silver flame, countless particles of light swirled into a Tai Chi Ball shape, and, under the rotation of Yin and Yang, no matter how abundant, the True Sun Fire’s origin was frantically torn apart, swallowed like a whale.

The power origin of this evil deity’s offspring was the True Sun Fire, and now it was like being stuck with sticky sugar, unable to shake it off or extinguish it, forced to helplessly watch its origin continuously get devoured in despair and fear.

Simultaneously, some information flowed into Zhang Kui’s mind, perhaps due to the remnant soul, mostly incomplete.

Foremost were some fragmented insights into the laws of True Sun Fire. The broken parts were naturally baffling, but many revelations came to Zhang Kui, giving him a deeper understanding of both True Sun Fire and Yin Yang True Fire.

Besides, there were fragmentary pieces:

In the starry sky, gigantic wings veiled planets, terrifying True Sun Fire tore through space, embedding a Crystal Stone Divine Hall containing a Divine Egg into the solar orbit of Celestial Essence Star...

The origin of True Sun Fire burned fiercely, the offspring of the evil deity hatched, intending to stay here until the sun was drained, but terrifying figures crossed the starry sky one by one; with a wave, they broke the Divine Hall and pushed it out of the solar orbit...

The strange bird sent out a distress signal and even using life-preserving techniques to escape, it was ultimately slain by an arrow shot from the cosmos...

All these glimmers proved Zhang Kui’s previous speculations correct. He also vaguely heard the Three-Eyed Strange Bird’s evil deity name from the muddled information:

Star God Red Pigeon!

Within the Crystal Hall, though the situation was tense, Zhang Kui felt very confident because he was gaining an advantage. Once the Yin Yang True Fire completely absorbed this enormous True Sun Fire origin, its power was sure to increase by several levels.

Earth Demon Seventy-two Skills at Great Success, a physical Divine Soul formidably strong to the extreme of mortals, the "Eyes of Eternal Life" capable of devouring domain power, and the terrifying Yin Yang True Fire origin...

Though stuck in the Mortal Realm for so long, Zhang Kui’s deep accumulation was equally terrifying.

After becoming an Immortal, one needs to create their own Little World. Given his current situation, one couldn’t imagine what kind of phenomenon he might conjure.

But at this moment, outside, the clan elders of the Barbarian Continent’s tribes were also filled with greed, constantly approaching the Divine Hall.

Zhang Kui’s expression immediately changed. Given the rampant nature of the sun’s True Fire in the great hall, these guys likely wouldn’t make it, even if they managed somehow to enter, they’d turn to ashes.

Their deaths weren’t an issue, but they’d become sacrifices to the evil deity, potentially turning the tables.

Ordinarily, he would have had ways to drive these people off, but now, with his body shattered, most of his spells unusable, even his mana was weak, and the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" lay beside him, unusable.

What to do?

In his anxiety, Zhang Kui scanned the surroundings, eyes suddenly brightening as his gaze fixed on the fragmented red crystal on the ground...
