Chapter 463: Chapter 377: Immortal Realm of the Red Dust, Master of Choosing Sides

A star zone is quite vast, coupled with the countless bizarre mutations of the Underworld that transform into monsters capable of traversing the starry sky, forming a terrifying Black Tide that obstructs all directions, making the army’s advance unusually difficult.

Fortunately, the upgraded Soul Suppressing Tower is strong enough, and almost everyone in the Immortal Path Alliance has the Yin Yang True Fire. The Divine Fire Domains connect into a continuous expanse, thus preventing significant losses.

Of course, as Zhang Kui repeatedly stepped forward, single-handedly slaying all the Immortal-level monstrosities, the entire army’s morale continued to rise.

“Sect Leader Zhang had a plan all along…”

The Rakshasa Insect Mother looked on with admiration, “A leader who does not get bogged down in trivialities and steps forward during moments of crisis is truly wise!”

The Fish Demon Priest laughed heartily, “In this way, the foundation of the Immortal Path Alliance is solid; we have been overthinking. As the leader of a star zone, how could Sect Leader Zhang not understand these principles?”

On the other side, after Zhang Kui completely slayed an Immortal-level monstrous being, he felt the admiring glances from those within the starships but remained calm and unaffected.

This situation was already anticipated by him.

Indeed, Zhang Kui also began to employ his own strategy.

On the bright side, he felt no reluctance in his heart.

It’s not that he became a different person after becoming a leader, but rather, with a clear Divine Soul, he developed his own insights into the Taoist scriptures contained in the Earth Demon 72 Techniques.

For example, he divided the concepts of worldly and transcendental into three realms.

The lowest is the Hermit Realm: seeing through the worldly troubles, abhorring the unpredictability of human nature, retreating from society to live in solitude, quietly watching the clouds rolling past the courtyard.

However, living in this world, even Immortals contend for various resources; who can truly escape?

The problem remains, merely pretending not to see it.

In the middle is the Carefree Realm: one does not shy away from the filth of the mortal world; one can resolve dilemmas using worldly methods for peace of mind, yet not become deeply entrenched, confused by desires, watching the changing winds and clouds with composure.

Mortals can’t see clearly or comprehend, troubled whether in poverty or wealth, trapping themselves in their own cages of the mind, unable to take the first step.

Those falsely seeking the Dao are confined by rules, unable to even enter the door.

The secret lies in this: everything under heaven is for me to use but not mine.

The highest is the Saint Realm: heaven and earth, all things reincarnate, the sun, moon, and stars dance about, using “non-action” to carry out “action,” the Tao following nature.

Zhang Kui has been lingering in the Carefree Realm, thus calling himself the “Red Dust Immortal.”

As for the Saint Realm, he had no clue…

…

Silver firelight filled the starry sky, as if a battle of gods and demons.

Boom!

The explosion came silently, with magnificent radiance scattering in all directions.

Despite the difficult advance, the Immortal Path Alliance’s starship fleet broke through the outer meteorite sea of the star zone, leaving behind the insane Underworld monstrosities.

The sight ahead was terrifying.

This cosmos is divided between the Yin and Yang realms, and the distance to the Underworld starry sky was closing. Leaving aside Life Stars and some special bodies, ordinary planets looked no different from those in the Mortal World.

Yet in the Celestial Capital Star Zone, things had changed.

Several originally desolate and dead planets were covered by vast expanses of Underworld monstrosity tumors, constantly wriggling like living creatures, while the surrounding space had begun to blur the lines between Yin and Yang, like a giant tumor in the starry sky.

“Not good!”

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya’s scalp tingled, “These guys are trying to break the barrier. If countless Underworld monstrosities flood into the Mortal World, there will never be peace in this starry sky again!”

Zhang Kui wasted no words, the Evil Light in his eyes blazing,

“Destroy them all, leave none!”

The morale of the Immortal Path Alliance fleet was already high, and with everyone understanding the consequences of allowing Underworld monstrosities into the Mortal World, they immediately launched an all-out attack.

Their methods varied, with massive arrows and Array Fire Dragons. They found that the Yin Yang True Fire worked well against the Underworld monstrosities, so they applied it, causing the starry sky to buzz and vibrate, with endless brilliance engulfing the entire star.

Fortunately, the Underworld monstrosities enveloping the planets were clearly mutated, primarily intended to blend the Yin and Yang realms, lacking attack capabilities. They turned into ash at a visible rate, revealing the barren star bodies beneath.

Zhang Kui, Wu Tianya, and two others did not join the battle but stood firmly in the starry sky, exuding a constant killing intent.

The Celestial Capital Star Zone was relatively small, with only five planets; aside from the one closest to the Sun Star, the rest were occupied by Underworld monstrosities and needed to be cleared one by one.

But the central Life Star, the Celestial Capital Star, was different.

The Star Array, although visibly weakened, still existed. The endless black fog within had also faded significantly, while a massive starship ascended, rushing toward them.

The Fish Demon Priest sneered, “These Deceitful Immortals are quite confident; do they really think we won’t break through the Underworld monstrosity barrier?”

Zhang Kui’s eyes spun with the Tai Chi Light Wheel, with two rays of Divine Light slicing through the starry sky, his brows furrowed, “No, I’m afraid there’s something more important!”

Wu Tianya turned, asking, “Sect Leader Zhang, have you discovered something?”

By this time, the Deceptive Immortal Starship had rapidly approached, and Zhang Kui coldly snorted, “We’ll talk later, let’s take them out first!”

With that, he waved his hand, releasing the Chaos Heaven, and in a flash, he was seated on the throne within its cabin.

Although Zhang Kui’s Chaos Heaven, entirely forged of the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal, appeared extraordinary, it was too small, not even comparable to ordinary starships.

The Three Demons of Wu Tianya were puzzled when the Chaos Heaven suddenly erupted in a burst of silver light, piercing through the starry sky as it charged towards the Deceptive Immortal Starship.

Buzz!

The parasitic grotesque lumps on the surface of the Deceptive Immortal Starship vibrated, releasing clusters of corrosive black light, which continuously undulated and drifted around.

Having roamed the cosmos for years, the Dragon Demon Wu Tianya was well-informed and immediately changed his expression, “Not good, Sect Leader Zhang must avoid it, this is the protective black light of the Deceptive Immortal Starship, specifically corrosive to starships, extremely troublesome!”

“No worries!”

Zhang Kui’s face remained calm, as he pressed one hand on the armrest of his throne, unleashing a surge of Purple Extreme Evil Light that quickly spread outward along the crystal.

During the refining of the Chaos Heaven, altar divine stones dismantled from Immortal Ships were incorporated, possessing the power to amplify domains, and also capable of amplifying Sword Evil.

A flash of purple light flickered, and a vast sea of sword light filled the air, forming a thousand-meter long purple light sword, ancient and magnificent, exuding a threatening aura.

Enveloped within, the Chaos Heaven collided with the Deceptive Immortal Starship with unparalleled momentum.

Boom!

A colossal wave of light spread outward.

The Deceptive Immortal Starship was pierced through, scattering wooden debris and flesh everywhere.

Not only that, but the Chaos Heaven made a sharp turn in midair, spiraling around before utterly smashing the Deceptive Immortal Starship apart.

The Three Demons of Wu Tianya were left in shock, their mouths agape.

The Fish Demon Priest muttered, “I originally thought Sect Leader Zhang didn’t care about divine materials, but now I see, indeed there’s a reason for its value…”

Perhaps due to timely evasion, the Deceptive Immortals inside the starship were unharmed, transforming into six massive black lights that dispersed instantly.

Leading them was a Demon Immortal, clad in an ancient and luxurious Immortal Robe, his entire body covered in scale armor, his eyes black as ink.

He gritted his teeth and growled coldly:

“This person is difficult to deal with, escape!”

They had long occupied the Celestial Capital Star Zone, believing that by gathering all the Underworld entities nearby, they could thwart anyone. Yet, they never anticipated Zhang Kui’s breakthrough to be so incisive.

Of course, if he had known that the Red Pigeon Divine Son, whom he most feared, had already perished, he might not have been so complacent.

“Don’t let any escape!”

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya roared lowly, and together with the other two demons, they attacked in unison.

“Leave it to me!”

Zhang Kui originally came to hunt, how could he let anyone else have the kill? Putting away the Chaos Heaven, he employed the Wishful Size Skill and instantly transformed into a giant of the starry sky, spanning a hundred meters.

Buzz!

Under the amplification of mana, the Void Domain appeared exceptionally strong, and an unprecedented massive black light sphere appeared, encapsulating the Deceptive Immortals instantly.

The Dragon Demon trio was at an impasse, neither advancing nor retreating, feeling awkward.

“Sect Leader Zhang… well, his temper is just a bit intense.”

Unlike the Red Pigeon Race, the Deceptive Immortals, capable of manipulating Underworld entities, were a formidable force on their own, and thus had no lack of subordinates.

All starships of the Immortal Path Alliance were cleansing planets of Underworld grotesque lumps, and though the few Deceptive Immortals struggled to escape, encased within Zhang Kui’s Void Domain, they seemed at ease with the situation, leaving the Dragon Demon trio idle.

Gazing at the vast, mutated planet, the Rakshasa Insect Mother shook her head, “The origin of these Underworld anomalies is mysterious and endless. If they truly invade the mortal world, we too might be forced to retreat. Luckily, we heeded Sect Leader Zhang’s words and arrived promptly.”

The Fish Demon Priest nodded slightly, “There’s just one thing I don’t understand. Sect Leader Zhang seems particularly hostile towards the Starry Sky Evil God and the Deceptive Immortals. We merely need to protect our own races; it’s unnecessary to provoke them actively.”

“That point I do know.”

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya shifted his gaze slightly, “I’ve heard Sect Leader Zhang mention the reason: the Deceptive Immortals are the remnants of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, disrupting Yin and Yang for personal gain. If it triggers disaster, none will be spared, thus, they must be annihilated.”

The Rakshasa Insect Mother and Fish Demon Priest nodded in silent agreement.

They understood that Zhang Kui was right, even many knew it, but few were willing to act.

In the chaotic Heavenly Dao, it’s not only the law that’s in disarray, but the hearts of people as well.

“And the Starry Sky Evil God?”

The Fish Demon Priest was persistent in asking.

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya shook his head slightly, “From birth, it’s endlessly greedy, called a god, but truly a beast. If it cannot be confined, it will end in a death struggle, with no escape for anyone!”

The Fish Demon Priest was thoroughly convinced, “Sect Leader Zhang has a broader vision than I, beyond comparison.”

“Indeed…”

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya smiled faintly, gazing into the distance.

In truth, there was one more thing he hadn’t said. In emulating the Starry Sky Evil God, the current Immortal Path has gained strength, but who can predict where the future will lead?

Regardless, he had already decided that once the Star Realm was refined and his people’s settlement was secure, he would immediately switch to a new Immortal Path.

Ever since being ousted and humiliated like a dog after his defeat, he vowed never to choose the wrong side again!
