Chapter 512: Chapter 425: Bloody Battle in the Starry Sky, Infiltrating the Divine Nest

The blood-colored starry sky, the vast sea of meteorites, under certain gravitational influence, formed a huge arc, grand and boundless.

Although the Deceitful Immortal had gathered most of the eerie beings from the Underworld, the shattered and broken celestial bodies still rendered the Desolate Ancient Battlefield’s starry sky desolate.

Suddenly, the previously calm sea of meteorites began to surge massively, colliding and shattering, as hundreds of Star Beasts emerged from the depths of the starry sky.

These Star Beasts varied in size, some as large as the Moon Star, others like mountains; giant insects, Star Whales, strange birds... they came in all forms, accompanied by Starships piloted by various vassal races, mighty and overwhelming, as if the entire starry sky would be obscured.

Many lamented that Star Beasts, with their inherent advantages, were originally meant to be the masters of this vast Cosmos, nurtured in the reincarnation of Life Stars. But their violent and bloodthirsty nature, engaging in endless mutual slaughter and warfare, allowed other races to rise.

Even now, compelled by the Blood God Sect to gather together, the Star Beasts kept their distance from each other, recklessly emanating Domain Power, savage and bloodthirsty killing intent pervading the starry sky...

After the passage of the Star Beast horde, within a gorge of a shattered celestial body in the distance, an Illusion Array slowly dissipated, revealing a small Starship from the Ancient Spirit Pavilion.

Inside the cabin, a corpulent Piggy Dragon Demon Immortal nervously scratched its head, "Scared me to death, what bad luck, to encounter Star Beasts crossing in this ghost place."

Another Bear Demon sighed in relief, "Fortunately, our Starship’s Magical Treasure is formidable, detecting them from a distance. I wonder what these wild beasts are planning?"

The Piggy Dragon Demon Immortal glanced at the Star Map, eyes gleaming with a ghostly light, "The declining sun starlight here conceals the Qi Mechanism, they’re probably planning to ambush the Blood God Sect."

The Bear Demon mocked, "Since when did they grow a backbone?"

"Apparently, news of an attack on the Blood God Sect has already spread..."

The Piggy Dragon Demon Immortal’s eyes turned bloodthirsty with excitement, "Quickly, go back and inform the Chief, the Desolate Ancient Battlefield is about to erupt in chaos!"

With that, they piloted the Starship towards the perilous, dark ancient route.

In the vastness of the starry sky, there naturally exists communication Treasures, known to be twin shells of an ancient Star Beast’s spawn. When refined with Secret Skills, knocking on one will cause vibrations in the other.

Master Illusion used this method to relay information, but Gu Sanshou’s subordinates didn’t possess such means, so when the news reached Zhang Kui, it was already several days later...

...

Boom!

On the orbit of a massive Star Tomb, a meteorite covered in solid ice shattered, and the Three-headed Six-armed Divine Statue on it exploded, revealing a huge bell engraved with cloud patterns.

"Reincarnation Bell..."

In the cabin of the Chaos Heaven, the Scribe Old Ghost’s eyes were filled with nostalgia, "The reincarnation of each Life Star is hidden between the void, inaccessible to anyone but those with Great Divine Power."

"This item and the method for refining the Stargazing Disc, it’s said that these were passed down by the Emperor Venerable, key artifacts of the Immortal Dynasty, enabling each Star Lord and Star Festival to control the Life Stars. The Artifact Spirit inside has long dissipated, and it’s unknown who hid it here..."

Zhang Kui waved his hand to store the Reincarnation Bell into his Personal Space, turning with a smile, "This item is of great use for the Divine Path of the Divine Dynasty, Old Ghost, you know many secrets, do you know how to refine this item?"

Although he has mastered the Six Jia Strange Skill, the reincarnation of Life Stars is unique to this world, and the method to refine the Reincarnation Bell is yet another ancient system he’s unfamiliar with. If unraveled, refining a Star Realm in the future would become a breeze.

"Of course I know!"

The Old Ghost cheekily said, "Everyone in the Immortal Hall is aware, the methods for refining the Reincarnation Bell, Stargazing Disc... all these vital artifacts of the Immortal Dynasty are personally kept by the Longevity Immortal Monarch, the Sect Leader would need to find the Immortal King Cave Heaven first."

"Then forget it..."

Zhang Kui was a bit speechless, for he knew where the Immortal King Cave Heaven was, but lacked the capability to enter.

Just then, a shell embedded in the crystal stone wall of the cabin suddenly started to buzz, followed by a thumping sound, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

This was the communication Treasure, most abundant in the hands of the Star Beast Divine Nest, some of which had been circulated through the Chaotic Sky Pavilion, their price exorbitant. Knowing this, Zhang Kui had procured several sets, placing them at the Celestial Essence Star Realm, with Master Illusion and Gu Sanshou.

"Is there a disturbance at the Star Beast Divine Nest?"

Hearing the rhythm transmitted by the shell, Zhang Kui frowned slightly, immediately navigating the Chaos Heaven towards the Star Beast territory.

With the Void Domain and the Invisibility Illusion Array of the Chaos Heaven, he swiftly traversed the distance, quickly arriving at the border where the two forces collided, finding the battle near its conclusion.

Before him, the starry sky quaked with the cries of giant beasts, rendering the battlefield impregnable, with only the endless expansion of Evil Light and bloodflames visible, causing meteorites and shattered celestial bodies along the path to crumble.

Even the Stargazing Disc on the Star Map could only detect countless red dots converging, nearly forming a blood cloud.

Zhang Kui, steering the Chaos Heaven, lay hidden, simultaneously examining the Star Map and frowning as he employed the Tongyou Skill to scout.

He could only observe the edges of the battlefield, a Sea of Blood surging, and Star Beasts rampant. Starships from vassal races and altars laden with followers entwined in a frenzy; often, they’d barely defeat an enemy before being blasted into pieces the next second, the slaughter verging on madness.

The Star Beasts, massive in size, clad in Domain Power, accompanied by icy blasts, flames, and Evil Light, could smash the gigantic Blood Massacre in a single strike, yet they’d be besieged by Blood Beasts until death, their vassal races within being blood sacrificed together...

Meanwhile, Gu Sanshou continuously relayed gathered intelligence:

Initially, the Star Beast Divine Nest indeed held the upper hand. Concealing their presence under the declining light of the blood-colored giant Sun Star, they destroyed the Blood God Sect’s defenses with a surprise attack.

However, the frenzied Blood God Cultists rushed fearlessly, dragging the Star Beast legion into a standoff here.

The Star Map revealed a constant influx of Blood God Sect forces, with blood light already visible spreading in the space behind.

Fatty Tiger watched in awe, "Taoist, these two forces have so many people, how can the Celestial Essence Star Realm possibly withstand such a conflict? No wonder you said it must be taken slow."

"After all, they started a bit late..."

Zhang Kui gently shook his head, then sneered, "The Star Beast Divine Nest is hesitant. If they were to go all out and breach the defenses, they could drag the Vast Sea Star Realm into the fray, allowing them to escape the Longevity Star Realm. Unfortunately, such an opportunity may never arise again..."

Fatty Tiger laughed, "Taoist, if we were to disrupt now, perhaps the Star Beasts could seize a sliver of opportunity. Isn’t the Blood God Sect intending to blood sacrifice them to summon the Blood God? If the sacrifices escape, the crisis would be averted instantly!"

The Scribe Old Ghost, nurtured by the Divine Path, with his Divine Soul stabilized, seemed to regain a semblance of his original self, mischievously laughing, "You are truly a clever little tiger!"

"I ask you, if the Blood God Sect loses its sacrifices, and with the Deceitful Immortal on high alert, the Eastern Star Realm strange, and the Vast Sea Star Realm flees, which place would become the target?"

Fatty Tiger was taken aback, promptly urging, "Taoist, think of a plan, if this bunch of Star Beasts escape, we might have to flee too!"

Zhang Kui slightly shook his head, "Flee? To where? The Immortal Dynasty’s fall left chaos, other Star Realms might be even more perilous, do we truly wish to wander eternally in the void?"

"After this battle, the Blood God Sect might dispatch even larger forces. Let’s use this chance to probe into the Star Beast Divine Nest."

With that, Zhang Kui silently maneuvered the Chaos Heaven around, heading for the Star Beast Divine Nest.

Behind, at the battlefield, more and more reinforcements from the Blood God Sect gathered, while the gigantic, unrelenting howls of the despairing Star Beasts reverberated through the starry sky...

...

Entering the Star Beast territory, numerous colossal beasts also emerged from the depths of the starry sky. They were evidently stronger than those on the battlefield, with even many Immortal Level beings among their vassal races.

However, these mighty beasts did not move to support the battlefield but instead, formed defenses as tribes of their respective races within the starry sky.

Fatty Tiger was somewhat dumbfounded, "Are these Star Beasts idiots?"

Zhang Kui laughed, "They aren’t idiots, they’re too cunning. Have you heard the tale of the three monks with no water to drink?"

Zhang Kui, while covertly steering the Chaos Heaven forward, narrated that classic story from his previous life.

The Scribe Old Ghost sighed upon hearing it, "The Infinite Immortal Dynasty was just the same, no amount of strength could defeat the intrigues of the heart. But the fall of the Immortal Dynasty was indeed too swift; many things I still can’t comprehend to this day..."

Zhang Kui remained silent, for the ancient upheaval indeed left numerous baffling mysteries.

Although the Ancient Immortal Path used Tao Fruit to control the Immortals, planting hidden dangers early on, the swiftness of the collapse was shocking, and the Immortal Kings’ madness was downright self-destructive, with some directly turning into the Starry Sky Evil Gods.

In his heart, Zhang Kui had an inexplicable feeling that everything might somehow relate to the missing Emperor Venerable, given that the Twelve Immortal Monarchs hailed from the same teacher...
