Chapter 455: Chapter 369: The Star Thieves Make Their Move, The Tide Turns

The vast starry sky, lonely and dim.

Boom!

The space suddenly shook, breaking this silence.

The Chaos Heaven, wrapped in silver light, abruptly dashed out in the darkness of the starry sky, spiraling and dodging like a nimble fish.

Behind it were seven Red Pigeon Evil God Halls, the True Sun Fire surging fiercely, akin to a blazing sun, each as enormous as a mountain.

The Evil God Red Pigeon has usurped the True Sun Fire’s origin Great Path, and the Evil God’s progeny have deeply studied it. The magnificent and fierce fiery blaze seemed to scorch through the starry sky, even manifesting endless red patterns in space.

Each of the seven Divine Halls housed masters as powerful as Immortal Treasures, with the strongest Red Pigeon Divine Son detected only as blinding white light.

They maneuvered the halls with whistling speed, not any slower than the Chaos Heaven, and swept several-thousand-meter-long fire dragons before them, like solar winds engulfing everything.

In contrast to the imposing Evil God Halls, the Chaos Heaven seemed rather small, as if it would be reduced to flying ash in the next moment. But inside the cabin, Zhang Kui remained calm, occasionally glancing at the star map before him.

The Stargazing Disc could detect the distance of a Star Zone, and from it, the scattered formation of the Red Pigeon Legion was clear.

The seven Divine Halls were drawn away by him, some Three-Eyed Firebirds chasing for a while before they gradually fell behind, some hesitated and gave up altogether, and the Divine Servant Altars were in utter disarray.

Zhang Kui sneered coldly in his heart.

During the process of encircling the Star Beast, he realized that though the Red Pigeon Race appeared formidable, their military operations were utterly chaotic.

After all, following the ancient wars, the Star Gods, whose power was diminished, retreated to the depths of the dark starry sky to slumber, leaving only their forces to ravage unchecked.

The greatest adversary of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, withdrew to the Three Sub-cosmos, so these Evil God progenies probably hadn’t encountered any adversaries for a long time.

Seemingly growing impatient with the pursuit, the Red Pigeon Divine Son’s cold voice echoed through the starry sky, “Foolish insect, do you truly think you can escape?”

As soon as the words fell, black spots flashed simultaneously in the searing white light of the seven halls, with thick thunder crackling and forming a terrifying magnetic field.

This was a move Zhang Kui had seen before, but compared to the remnants on the Celestial Essence Star, its power was terrifying.

Zzz…

Lightning enveloped the Chaos Heaven’s hull, causing it to sway and slow down, even raising its bow.

The seven halls unleashed their might in unison, like hunters with their prey caught by the magnetic fields created by solar flares.

“Die!”

The Red Pigeon Divine Son’s voice remained cold, like a god passing judgment from on high.

“You’ve overthought…”

Zhang Kui chuckled heartily as the Divine Court Bell within the Chaos Heaven flowed with golden light, and the entire starship suddenly vanished.

After absorbing the Reincarnation Bell, star shifts were no longer a problem.

“Arrogant!”

The Red Pigeon Divine Son snorted coldly, and the Evil God Crystal Hall he navigated vanished simultaneously, leaving only six suns in the starry sky.

Among the several Divine Halls, only the Red Pigeon Divine Son could shift through the stars, splitting the Evil God Legion once more.

The Chaos Heaven and the Evil God Hall, one after another, always shifted just a hair’s breadth apart, fueling the Red Pigeon Divine Son’s growing fury.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kui continually watched the star map. Dots of light appeared around the already scattered Red Pigeon Legion.

Those were the star pirates, hesitating like greedy hyenas, neither wanting to leave nor daring to advance.

“Rabble…”

Zhang Kui snorted, continuing to sail forward.

Though the pursuit was somewhat uncomfortable, it was a war with a significant power imbalance, and he had enough patience to entangle with the other side…

…

“Isolated, isolated!”

“I’ve got one here too!”

“So what if they’re isolated, that human is being hunted by the seven Divine Halls, unlikely to survive, and the Red Pigeon Divine Son could return at any time, do you dare to move?”

“If you dare, I dare!”

“Bullshit…”

The Red Pigeon Legion leaders had all left, some Three-Eyed Firebirds waited, others returned to their posts, while some stood alone.

The star pirates were also watching from afar.

They had already tasted the sweetness, eyeing these Three-Eyed Firebirds like treasure vaults, their hearts itching yet afraid to act.

Of course, they didn’t leave because the number of gathered starships was increasing, giving them a slight sense of security.

In the end, they couldn’t do it…

Some people shook their heads slightly; the Red Pigeon Race’s name was too fearsome, even with the Yin Yang True Fire, it was hard to shake their status.

Just then, a starship covered in scale armor roared out, charging at an isolated Three-Eyed Firebird.

“Who is that?!”

“It’s Chonghua; his enmity with the Red Pigeon Race is as deep as the sea, it seems he couldn’t hold back this time!”

“Foolish! If you’re seeking death, don’t drag us along…”

The star pirates were suddenly alarmed, with some cursing directly.

The distances in the starry sky were vast, beyond the reach of Divine Thought or the naked eye, mostly dependent on the Detection Spiritual Artifacts aboard the starships.

They were experienced, maintaining a neither near nor far distance, Waiting for the Insect Demons to strike, startling the other’s detection, many would be exposed.

Insect Demon Chonghua, of course, understood the situation, but he knew better that this might be the best opportunity for revenge.

The isolated Three-Eyed Firebird immediately noticed him, its eyes first puzzled, then brimming with bloodthirsty excitement and mockery, flapping its wings as True Sun Fire erupted explosively.

“Foolish little Insect Demon, clueless of impending death, how amusing…”

Chonghua paid no heed, driving the starship forward.

He had already hunted two, and knew well of their tactics.

Sure enough, the Three-Eyed Firebird flapped its wings, opened its mouth wide at the oncoming starship, and a torrent of scorching heat spewed forth.

The Insect Demon had a ferocious expression, yet was extremely calm, the Yin Yang True Fire spiraled out, blocking the True Sun Fire in the astonished eyes of the Three-Eyed Firebird. Then a robust, sharp spike extended from the ship’s bow, silver flames attached to it, carrying a deadly intent as it pierced straight through the Firebird.

Chirp!

A piercing scream spread continuously with the Divine Thought.

The Insect Demon flashed out, laughing madly, wielding the long spear magical artifact, Yin Yang True Fire burning. In an instant, countless lights and shadows flashed, runes in the surrounding space flickered incessantly.

The restraining effect of the Yin Yang True Fire was no boast, coupled with the domineering and careless nature of the Three-Eyed Firebird, it lay dead in the starry sky within moments, its Divine Soul obliterated.

The Insect Demon adeptly collected the body, removed the Sun Radiance Mark from itself with the Yin Yang True Fire, and boarded the starship to escape into the depths of space.

“Did he really succeed?”

“But he’s all alone…”

The Star Thieves were initially taken aback, then one by one, their gazes turned increasingly sinister.

The call of the Three-Eyed Firebird before its death summoned its companions, four Firebirds enveloped in heavenly divine fire roared in, eyes full of fury and bloodlust.

In a short time, the consecutive tragic deaths of their kind were unbearable for them, typically so domineering.

However, Chonghua had already escaped, the Firebirds did not detect the Sun Radiance Mark. Under the search of their Divine Thoughts, they soon found a group of Star Thieves hiding in the distant starry sky. Despite the fact that there were five ships from the opposition, they charged without hesitation.

The Star Thief leader was an Ancient Race member, with red hair and a green face, a strong body with six arms. Although not as notorious as the Rakshasa Insect Mother or Dark Star Fish Demon, he had a certain fame.

“Sir, what do we do?”

The subordinates around him eagerly inquired.

The Ancient Race leader looked at the charging Red Pigeon Race, grinning hideously, sharp teeth showing, “Since they’re delivering themselves, how can we not accept with a smile, kill!”

With an order, six Immortal Level members spiraled out, cloaked in Yin Yang True Fire, engaging in battle with the starship and several Firebirds, divine fire and Immortal Light clashed thunderously.

Outnumbered and overwhelming, they swiftly gained the upper hand.

Like a dam bursting, the long-standing fear of the Red Pigeon Race was completely swept away by greed.

For a while, any isolated Three-Eyed Firebird was ambushed.

“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”

The Red Pigeon Legion erupted instantly, aiding from all directions.

However, they were terrified to discover that the Star Thieves kept gathering, like a frenzied pack of wolves. Not only were isolated kin attacked, but even those rushing to aid were besieged.

“Kill!”

The Divine Servants of the Red Pigeon Evil God, brainwashed to be most loyal, drove the Divine Fire Altar to charge in all directions. Yet, in this Immortal Level battle, they were hardly different from cannon fodder.

The entire starry sky turned into chaos.

And in the distance, the ingot-shaped Insect Demon Mother Ship and the massive Star Whale gradually emerged. The long-hidden Rakshasa Insect Mother and Fish Demon Priest finally couldn’t resist taking action…

…

In the depths of the starry sky, the Red Pigeon Divine Son was desperately chasing Zhang Kui.

Suddenly, he froze, halted without a word, and drove the Evil God Hall backward.

“Where are you going?”

Zhang Kui suddenly appeared, facing the blazing giant sun, he smiled grimly, rolling up his sleeves, “Come, come, my head is right here, if you have the ability, come take it!”

“You’re the one causing trouble!”

Inside the Evil God Hall at the sun’s center, the Red Pigeon Divine Son’s voice was icy and full of boundless fury.

Before Zhang Kui could speak, the enormous sun abruptly shifted, wrapping Zhang Kui entirely.

Fire, endless True Sun Fire.

Zhang Kui looked around indifferently, as the Yin Yang True Fire and Void Domain simultaneously took effect, whether divine fire or domain law power, once approached, it vanished like falling into a black hole.

His eyes spun the Tai Chi Light Wheel, immediately seeing the Evil God Hall at the center of the True Sun Fire.

It was a blood-red crystalline hall, its size five times that of the one on the Celestial Essence Star. The blazing True Sun Fire flowed within, dazzling and radiant.

And within the hall, a sullen gaze was fixed on him.

The so-called Red Pigeon Divine Son was not only larger than a typical Three-Eyed Firebird, his entire body was almost crystallized, his flesh comparable to an Immortal Artifact.

The Red Pigeon Divine Son had now calmed down, watching Zhang Kui unrestrainedly devour the True Sun Fire, he said grimly:

“No wonder the God Lord wanted me to personally slay you, little did I expect that a True Sun Fire nemesis would truly be born in this world.”

As they spoke, the cosmic battlefield had already become one-sided, relying on the power of the Yin Yang True Fire, the already highly skilled Star Thieves, in a short time, slew more than half of the Three-Eyed Firebirds.

The other six Evil God Crystal Halls were frantically rushing, but even if they were quicker, it was unlikely they could save many.

“Hahaha…”

The Red Pigeon Divine Son suddenly laughed, eyes full of mockery, “You diverted me to destroy my army? Utter foolishness!”

“How many of those lower-ranked kin die is irrelevant, unbeknownst to you dealing with you is more important than anything!”

“Hahaha…”

Zhang Kui also laughed.

The Red Pigeon Divine Son’s eyes turned cold,

“Why are you laughing?”

Zhang Kui’s laughter slowly restrained,

“Coincidentally, I was thinking the same…”
