Chapter 452: Chapter 366: Divine Fire Frenzy, Hunting the Evil God

This is a fragmented star zone, dead silent and ancient.

Within the star ring, some planets have completely shattered, turning into drifting meteors, while others look like half-eaten apples, cold and dark, even the central Sun Star has expanded several times, emitting a strange red light.

In the center of the star zone, space is twisted and turbulent, with terrifying rays shooting everywhere, only the remnants of large and small starships left from an ancient battle proving that life once existed here.

But the outskirts of the star zone are bustling.

Countless meteors have been gathered and piled up into huge floating islands, and although there is no array spirit light, it is still brilliantly illuminated, with stone halls standing tall and starships of all sizes docked.

The Celestial Loner Star Zone was destroyed during the great ancient Immortal Dynasty battle, but without disturbances from evil gods and no invasions from the Underworld, it has become one of the few safe havens.

Star Thieves, Wandering Immortals, star beast servant races… countless beings from the stars gather here, gradually prospering.

In the central grand hall, a Three-Eyed Ancient Race member’s divine light was like a beacon, and his cold voice transmitted through Divine Thought into everyone’s minds:

“A Deceitful Immortal influence has risen in the Celestial Capital Star Zone, driving Underworld creatures to gather. It’s best for you to stay away…”

“Ancient ruins have been discovered in the Dark Tide Zone, with grand altars piled up like mountains. Several fellow Daoists have already traveled there by starship…”

“An ancient star beast has perished near the Megrez Star Zone, with corpse flames inside nurturing laws, but all servant races within have turned into zombies, and the Red Pigeon Race is also marching…”

Below stood a crowd of variously dressed races, with Demon Races and Ancient Races most common, and surprisingly one or two humans, though they had grown horns, sprouted fangs, and their eyes burned with a blood-red light.

As the Ancient Race member on stage spoke, these cultivators all had dim and uncertain gazes, warily yet inquisitively surveying their surroundings.

In the Star Sea, danger lurks everywhere, and the information released above is half-true and half-false. To gain any reward, cooperation and exchange of interests are unavoidable.

This is the chaotic starry sky, where the naive and kind-hearted do not survive more than a few months, and everyone continuously probes in the dark, cautiously staying alive.

Suddenly, many people turned to look outside the hall.

In the dark starry sky, a Star Whale, majestic and enormous like a mountain range, swam out from the darkness, scattering an enchanting blue radiance along the way.

“It’s the Dark Star Demon Fish Race!”

“Weren’t they heading to the Celestial Essence Star Zone? I heard a ruthless person occupied Reincarnation there and got targeted by the Red Pigeon Race, truly unfortunate; have they been destroyed?”

“The Red Pigeon Race seems not to have arrived yet…”

As they discussed, the Star Whale had already wandered outside the meteorite islands but did not come too close, as the Star Whale’s size was almost as large as half the meteorite islands, and moving further would smash many starships.

There’s no array here; only beings above Immortal Level can survive. The rest operate within starships.

However, the beings inside the grand hall were not worried, as those who could operate here are inherently powerful cultivators or influences.

Buzz!

Blinding blue light flickered, and several armored Dark Star Fish Demons traversed the starry sky, landing in the grand hall.

“Have you all gained much this time…”

A Wolf Demon with a flattering face smiled slyly and said.

Surviving the chaotic Great Path is not easy; everyone wears masks. Some choose ruthless tyranny while others curry favor everywhere, with the Wolf Demon being among the latter.

The leading Dark Star Fish Demon glanced coldly at him, completely ignoring him, then turned to the crowd, “The Dark Star Race is selling Spirit Fire, named Yin Yang True Fire from today.”

As he spoke, he spread his claws, and silver flames instantly rose.

The Dark Star Fish Demon’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: “This fire can protect, refine medicine, and serve as starship power. More importantly, it is a counter to True Sun Fire and can remove the Sun Radiance Mark!”

“What?!”

Exclamations resounded, countless gazes turning fervent.

They are all at Immortal Level and can naturally feel the power of Yin Yang True Fire. If the Fish Demon is telling the truth, its ability to remove the Sun Radiance Mark is invaluable.

However, everyone remained silent.

Such a precious thing, being casually sold, surely there’s a catch!

“Is Venerate’s words true?”

An excited voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and a frantic Insect Demon rushed in upon hearing the news, with shadows flickering behind him.

“It’s Chonghua, I’ve heard he offended the Red Pigeon Race and has been pursued relentlessly, didn’t expect him to be hiding here…”

The Fish Demon’s expression remained indifferent, “Buy it to try!”

He was in a bad mood; truly, such items should be hoarded in vast quantities as the Dark Star Race’s foundation, far more profitable than being sold, but even he couldn’t defy the High Priest’s orders.

Clearly, this Insect Demon had been chased to the brink of collapse, his compound eyes blood-red, urgently asking: “What do I exchange for it? Divine Materials, Ancient Immortal Artifacts, anything to get rid of this damn mark!”

“Divine Materials!”

The Fish Demon didn’t waste words and directly stated.

The Insect Demon was straightforward, immediately producing a large amount of Divine Materials, including spiritual ore, peculiar tree jade, and even a few pieces of Cave Heaven Divine Crystals.

The Fish Demon’s eyes flickered and, following the High Priest’s instructions, took away most of the Divine Materials, then with a wave of his hand, the silver Yin Yang True Fire hovered in everyone’s eyes, swirling once before falling into the Insect Demon’s hands.

The refinement process was swift. Under a myriad of eyes and Divine Senses, the silver True Fire gradually integrated into the Insect Demon’s body.

Boom!

The Insect Demon abruptly opened his eyes, the scorching fire suddenly erupting.

Everyone present sensed a surge of powerful energy.

Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire inherently carries laws, especially since they practice the Immortal Path; their strength can advance to a higher level, which is also why many people attach themselves to the Starry Sky Evil God.

The power of the Yin Yang True Fire exceeded their expectations. Seeing the shadows behind the Insect Demon disappear and the Sun Radiance Mark undone, many people’s eyes showed a hint of eagerness.

With this, they no longer feared the pursuit of the Red Pigeon Race.

However, a trace of confusion flashed in the Insect Demon’s eyes, “This Yin Yang True Fire bears no spiritual mark?”

“What?!”

Many were instantly shocked.

With the Great Path in chaos, many Evil Gods steal the laws. When they found Spirit Fire and Divine Light, they often had to spend a lot of time erasing imprints, some of which could never be removed.

This had gradually become an unspoken rule everyone grew accustomed to. After all, wanting to obtain means having to pay a price.

How could such a thing be sold?

“Venerate Yu, I want a share!”

A Great Demon immediately pushed forward, as if igniting a powder keg.

“I want it too; the Divine Materials are right beside me!”

“I want three shares!”

Amidst the surging crowd, several Dark Star Fish Demons immediately stepped forward to intercept, and Venerate Yu snorted coldly, “Each person is limited to one share, first come, first served, transaction on the spot…”

The atmosphere was explosive inside the great hall; no one wanted to miss such an opportunity. Even if there were some hidden risks, they must seize it first.

In the Divine Hall inside the Star Whale outside, light and shadows displayed the scene of the rush. The Fish Demon Priest sat on his throne, silently sipping Spirit Wine, with a flicker of eerie light in his eyes.

“Great Priest, could there be a scheme?”

A nearby Fish Demon Divine Attendant cautiously inquired.

The Fish Demon Priest smiled slightly, “The Longevity Star Realm is likely to fall into chaos, but we just need to focus on obtaining the items. In the midst of the waves, we must go with the flow to survive well…”

Meanwhile, on another asteroid in a different Star Zone, a similar rush was occurring.

Outside the Ingot-shaped Insect Demon Mother Ship, the Rakshasa Insect Mother was lost in thought…

…

The Rakshasa Insect Mother and Dark Star Fish Demons were massively selling Spirit Fire, like a storm swiftly sweeping through the surrounding Star Zones.

Of course, the Longevity Star Realm’s size far exceeds this area; communication in other places is poor, and this news might spread only months later.

Even being able to remove the Sun Radiance Mark is enticing enough, not to mention many discovered after refining that the Yin Yang True Fire is more advanced than most of their existing powers.

The Yin Yang True Fire quickly became the hottest commodity, bustling daily outside the Meteorite Sea of the Celestial Essence Star Zone, with starships continuously transporting Divine Materials to the Celestial Essence Star.

At this moment, there were still ten days before the arrival of the Red Pigeon Race.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

On Ancient Pit Star, enormous sound waves and light patterns were still spreading incessantly.

Zhang Kui was fully focused, constantly forming spells.

In front of him, a framework of a starship only ten meters long had already been refined. The Earth Evil Silver Lotus core flames blazed fiercely, its spindle streamline shape shining with radiant silver light, perpetually swirling within the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal.

At this moment, Zhang Kui was refining the Stargazing Disc anew, removing impurities to shrink it and integrate it into the starship framework. The Golden Soul Suppressing Tower was already burning on it.

Between Star Zones, there are typically vast stretches of darkness, even traversing the Underworld, distances could seem despairing, rendering a stargazing disc that can survey the whole Star Zone extremely important.

What’s more, Zhang Kui also integrated the Divine Path system into it. You could say, he was planning the future direction of the starships for the Divine Dynasty.

And while he was devotedly refining, an even greater storm was gradually brewing.

The catalyst was still the Insect Demon.

As an unfortunate being pursued for hundreds of years, the hatred of the Insect Demon Chonghua towards the Red Pigeon Race was unmatched, for his starship and the descendants he protected were utterly wiped out.

He certainly couldn’t provoke the Red Pigeon Divine Son, but he could vent his anger on other Three-Eyed Firebirds. After all, these creatures were scattered throughout the Star Sea, easily found near many Sun Stars.

“Kill!”

On a magma-filled star, the Insect Demon Chonghua fought with frenetic intensity. The Yin Yang True Fire transformed into a sharp sword, clashing with a Three-Eyed Firebird, creating brilliant sparks, while two other comrades assisted in the attack.

This was a solitary training Three-Eyed Firebird, long targeted by Chonghua, who spared no expenses hiring help to slay it.

“Good!”

A Pig Demon looked on excitedly, “The Yin Yang True Fire truly suppresses True Sun Fire; this thieving bird cannot escape death!”

A while later, with a despairing cry, the Three-Eyed Firebird was shattered soul-deep, and the True Sun Fire quickly flowed.

To their astonishment, the Yin Yang True Fire started devouring the True Sun Fire, gradually growing stronger.

“So that’s how it is…”

The Three Demons sensed the ever-growing power, their eyes glowing red with bloodthirst.

This news quickly spread, driving countless cultivators mad.

The fact that the True Sun Fire could be devoured, with its entire body being Divine Materials, not to mention the hoarded Divine Materials, made the Red Pigeon Race akin to a treasure trove!

With the threat of the Sun Radiance Mark gone, no one feared anymore. Groups of starships swarmed out, seeking solitary members of the Red Pigeon Race.

The once-dreaded Starry Sky Dominator Race suddenly turned into the most enticing prey…
