Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs
Chapter 542 - 448: Starry Sky Dominator, Unexpected
The sea of blood churned as if it would drown the starry sky.
Such a grand spectacle, yet no one was surprised. After all, this was a specialty of the Blood God Sect, and this star realm concentrated most of their forces.
What Zhang Kui found unbelievable was that when he used the Tongyou Skill and the Observing Through a Wall immortal skill to probe, layers of blood mist dispersed, revealing a magnificent blood-colored world where the Divine Hall was located, complete with a Cosmic Membrane.
Seeing his complexion drastically change, Master Illusion next to him said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, I wonder what treasures the Blood God Sect has hidden here..."
"It’s not a treasure; it’s a Starry Sky Dominator!"
Zhang Kui’s expression was unprecedentedly grave, and his voice was even a bit hoarse.
"What?!"
Master Illusion was dumbfounded, just feeling a chill rising from the heart.
"How... how could there be a Starry Sky Dominator...?"
It’s no surprise he was afraid. After all, this was a legendary existence. An Immortal King could suppress a star realm; a Starry Sky Evil God could wreak havoc in the cosmos. Compared to them, ordinary immortals were like ants.
Zhang Kui said nothing, but with a grim face, he controlled the Chaos Heaven to quickly retreat, even stopping the exploration, lest they alert the other side.
There was an insurmountable chasm between a Starry Sky Dominator and ordinary immortal levels.
If he was previously unaware, after numerous events, he had a general understanding of the realms of both sides.
The immortal level is about constructing a little world within oneself, free from the constraints of birth, aging, illness, and death, thus able to roam freely in heaven and earth.
But this little world is based on oneself; it may absorb and utilize, even alter the Power of Laws, yet still remains in this universe.
Just like Life Stars and Star Realms, no matter how powerful, they cannot break free from the shackles of the starry sky.
The strength among immortals lies in whose little world is more vast and solid, containing richer Power of Laws and Spiritual Qi.
However, a Starry Sky Dominator is another concept entirely.
Their little world has expanded to the limit, even manifesting in reality. An Immortal King opening a Grotto Heaven, an Evil God forging a lair, all follow this principle. Like the deceased Netherworld Realm Master, even after many years, his corpse would still be enveloped by a Cosmic Membrane.
Ordinary immortal levels can’t even detect their existence!
Fortunately, Zhang Kui’s Observing Through a Wall immortal skill could even glimpse into the Great Thousand Worlds, naturally spotting the hidden figure in the Blood God Sect.
Blood-colored world, Cosmic Membrane—clearly a Starry Sky Dominator!
Zhang Kui had a terrifying speculation in his heart:
The Blood God has already descended!
If so, why was he hiding?
Uncertainty shone in Zhang Kui’s eyes, golden light swirling at his fingertips, desperately using Star Skills to deduce and attempt to calculate the other’s purpose.
However, he ultimately gave up entirely; this level of gap couldn’t be bridged by immortal skills or Divine Power.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kui’s expression turned grim as he said, "Tai Shi, close the Immortal Sect, activate the Celestial Essence Star Realm, be ready to evacuate at any time!"
Master Illusion breathed a sigh of relief, his voice trembling as he said, "Sect Leader Zhang, if you’re not mistaken, that must be the Blood God. A Starry Sky Dominator lurking means there might be a great conspiracy, a great horror. We’d best leave early for safety."
Zhang Kui gritted his teeth, "Wait a bit longer..."
He stared intently ahead, full of doubts.
After the ancient great war, all the Starry Sky Evil Gods were severely wounded and went into hibernation. Without a blood sacrifice, how could the Blood God awaken early?
This guy... what does he intend to do?
...
The light twisted dimly on the ancient starry sky route.
Ye Fei led the team members cautiously navigating a starship, a smile lingering on his lips as he looked at the suspended sword light in his hand.
The Spirit Qi frenzy of the Celestial Essence Star Realm in the past two years had brought him great harvests during his secluded cultivation; the Golden Core Path had already reached the Eighth Transformation, with hopes of becoming an immortal within ten years.
Even more joyous was that his master Zhu Sheng also stepped into the Immortal Realm, shaking the starry sky with a Thunder Sword, taking over the duty of suppressing the ancient route, and once again fighting side by side as master and disciple.
Suddenly, red light flared in the cabin, the Tai Shi Golden Body appearing as it gave a deep order, "All starships return to the Celestial Essence Star Realm immediately, with no mistakes allowed!"
With that, it vanished instantly.
The cabin was in chaos, everyone filled with uncertainties.
"What happened?"
"Could it be that a powerful enemy is attacking?"
"Why retreat without a fight..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Fei’s face turned grim as he stood up, "Follow the order and return immediately, ready to fight at any moment!"
He sensed something was amiss; although the Tai Shi True God appeared as calm as usual, there was an unusual urgency in its actions.
More importantly, a direct order was issued from the Human Race Divine Path, a situation only possible if the Sect Leader personally ordered it.
What could make the Sect Leader so nervous?
A shadow cast over Ye Fei’s heart...
Returning to the Immortal Sect, thousands of starships had already gathered here, entering the sect one by one. It seemed that everyone had received the order.
Ye Fei thought for a moment, avoided others, and contacted Zhu Sheng, cautiously asking, "Master, what happened?"
"No need to ask more!"
Zhu Sheng reprimanded with a heavy face, then hesitated, "Even I am not sure, but the Celestial Essence Star Realm has already been activated; it might retreat from the Celestial Essence Star Domain."
"What?!"
Ye Fei was dumbfounded.
...
Not to mention the chaos within the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty, Zhang Kui ended the communication and immediately piloted the Chaos Heaven, hiding among the star fragments.
Although he was no longer spying on the individual who might be the Blood God, under the combined effect of the Stargazing Disc and Tongyou Skill, the situation on this star realm battlefield was all clear to him.
Initially, the Blood God Sect had the upper hand by heavily surrounding the star beasts, but after the Deceitful Immortal influence and the Vast Sea Star Realm joined the battle, the situation gradually reversed.
Various star beasts roared; these formidable stellar creatures were already in a killing frenzy, or rather, their beastly nature was stirred from deep within their bloodlines. Claws, sharp teeth, tentacles, fiendish fire... they fully utilized their bodily advantages, rolling and fighting in the sea of blood...
The sinister black tide summoned by the Deceitful Immortals attracted the most enemies. Although there were no individuals that could withstand the blood beasts or Blood Massacre, their endless numbers were their greatest advantage...
Among them, the starship fleet from the Vast Sea Star Realm infuriated the Blood God Cultists even more, as these guys never attacked head-on, always retreating when the sea of blood gathered, and launching surprise attacks from behind when focused on dealing with star beasts...
Under the inside and outside collaboration of the three forces, the huge army of the Blood God Sect now seemed like a bloated and clumsy beast, being torn apart bit by bit.
Of course, the greater spectacle was the battles between the experts.
Roar!
The Dragon-Body Centipede Star Beast Ancestor went completely berserk, celestial cold tide erupted around him, freezing everything within tens of thousands of miles, regardless of friend or foe, including even a Blood Lord.
This star beast, many times stronger than the one from the Celestial Essence Star Realm, generated an infinite suction in its mouth, swallowing the Blood Lord who failed to escape, and the blue cold light turned into flames, continuously refining its opponent.
Another Blood Lord just attempted to rescue but was sucked into the massive light wheel behind the Venerable Sea Dragon in an instant.
This bright-moon-shaped light wheel buzzed and vibrated, seemingly filled with countless chanting voices. The Blood Lord trapped inside gradually showed a dazed expression, sitting cross-legged and chanting in unison.
"What a bizarre Buddha Treasure!"
Master Illusion exclaimed, his eyes full of dread.
Zhang Kui also saw it was a powerful Buddha Treasure, although far from the Immortal King Tower, enough to suppress numerous immortals.
Who would have thought the Venerable Sea Dragon kept such a trick.
On the other side, True Monarch Yinghai waved a black sword light, completely slicing a Blood Lord apart, cautiously glancing at the Divine Hall.
Besides Zhang Kui, perhaps only he noticed the terror hidden within the Blood God Hall, so even with deep Tao cultivation, he didn’t show himself.
He glanced at the Divine Hall, then looked at the Bone Armor Star Beast Ancestor struggling to suppress the monstrous corpse among the star beasts, the ghostly gleam flickered in his black eyes.
No matter what, under the slaughter of experts from the three factions, nine Blood Lords of the Blood God Sect were down to only two in a short time.
Seeing their leaders heavily wounded or killed, the Blood God Cultists also began to collapse, some going mad, some retreating, their formation in chaos.
"Great Divine Festival!"
The last two Blood Lords went completely insane, flashing towards the Divine Hall, their furious roars shaking the starry sky:
"What are you waiting for, summon the Venerable God now!"
The entire battlefield froze in an instant.
The Blood God Cultists gradually grew fervent, the star beasts large and small seemed to sober up, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the Divine Hall, while the Deceitful Immortal influence and Vast Sea Star Realm fleet quickly retreated, filled with suspicion.
They came here precisely to stop the Blood God’s arrival. Could it be that the Blood God Sect still had some trump card to summon the Blood God without a blood sacrifice?
However, something horrifying occurred.
The two Blood Lords rushing towards the Divine Hall suddenly froze in mid-air with terror, then their enormous hundred-meter-high bodies rapidly melted, turning into viscous blood, with golden light of law within flowing like swimming fish.
An elderly demon race figure, with head of white hair and lavishly dressed, appeared outside the great hall at some point, as if he had always been there.
With a wave of his hand, the blood formed from the two Blood Lords gathered in his hand, becoming smaller and smaller, swirling like a vortex.
His eyes were purely blood-red, devoid of any emotion, and he sighed slightly, "Just a bit short, but it’s enough..."
"Your Excellency... who are you?"
The Venerable Sea Dragon was chilled to the core; this elder appeared weak, like a mortal creature, but with a wave of his hand could kill a Blood Lord nearly equal to him, truly terrifying.
Several Star Beast Ancestors also froze in place, slowly retreating. Though they couldn’t fathom the elder’s Tao cultivation, they instinctively sensed boundless horror.
Only True Monarch Yinghai suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, "True Monarch of Blood Prison, why is it you?!"
The elder smiled calmly: "Old friend Yinghai, long time no see."
