Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 395 The Unpredictable Emperor and King
On Mount Xumi, the Buddha's light is vast and the vast power of faith flows with immortal divine brilliance, like an eternal and indestructible immortal treasure land.

Li Zhi's actions were as powerless as a "joke", and even his intimidation of the monks on Mount Xumi was not as great as that of the previous divine knight.

Li Zhi, who returned empty-handed, seemed too embarrassed to face anyone and went straight away from Mount Xumi.

Seeing this, Jin Ming and Li Xianer followed directly.

Afterwards, Ye Fan began to set up the astonishing Source Heavenly Divine Formation around Mount Sumeru.

Ye Fan threw out one piece of divine material after another to set up the formation, shocking all the saints watching the battle.

It is so magnificent, it is simply a bottomless treasure trove of divine treasures.

On a mountain not far from the battlefield, Li Xianer asked, "Dad, were you using Mount Xumi to test the law just now? Did you get what you wanted?"

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "The great emperors of the ancient times are immeasurable."

Jin Ming also realized that Li Zhi was not trying to shake a tree with an ant, so he said, "Master, didn't you finally summon a bolt of lightning that made the power of faith on Mount Xumi helpless?"

Li Zhi said: "Although the thunder has been summoned, it is unfortunately not the forbidden thunder that I expected. It has no effect on the real emperor-level strongman."

Although the last heavenly thunder caused some holes in the ocean of faith on Mount Sumeru, that was achieved by consuming merit and offsetting the other party's faith.

According to Li Zhi's plan, when he offers sacrifices to the altar, he should attract the forbidden divine thunder.

You have to know that when he was training in the Starlight Small World, he was just a small cultivator who had not reached the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. When he sacrificed the three-layer altar in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm to perform the Wheel Sea Vision World Sea All Living Things Sacrifice, he was already able to attract the Chaos Divine Thunder.

Li Zhi still remembers that kind of world-destroying aura, which is completely different from the intensity of the divine thunder of heavenly punishment.

But now, Li Zhi is already a great sage-level warrior. Logically, he should be able to attract even more terrifying divine thunder. Unfortunately, the altar he imitated only attracted a thunder that would normally appear during a cloud and rainy day.

Although the heavenly thunder ignored the faith protection on Mount Sumeru, its destructive power was pitifully small.

Logically speaking, to deal with the thoughts of Amitabha the Great, one must at least summon divine thunder that can rival the Great Emperor's thoughts.

But now, Li Zhi was very confused, why didn’t it work?
Of course, he couldn't just sacrifice the three-story altar in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and die together with the Forbidden Zone Supreme.

It’s not that Li Zhi doubts the power of the three-story altar when performing the "Great Sacrifice", but he is worried that he will be wiped out by the mark left by Emperor Huang Tian in this world.

Today's Li Zhi does not have the ability to "defy the will of heaven".

Normally, no emperor can defeat the heavenly calamity caused by the elixir of immortality after being resurrected, and no emperor has the ability to defy the will of heaven.

In other words, any emperor who cannot place the Heavenly Heart Seal under his feet cannot be the true Heavenly Emperor.

However, the results of the experiment also made Li Zhi feel relieved. No wonder the ruthless emperor did not comment on the forbidden weapon he refined.

"Master, why are you thinking about how to deal with the real emperor now? Didn't you warn your disciples that we cultivators should avoid being too ambitious and making groundless speculations about levels that we cannot reach, as that will lead us astray." Jin Ming asked with some confusion.

"Dad, what exactly happened that made you feel such a sense of urgency? Will there really be a dark turmoil after the path to becoming an immortal is opened?" Li Xianer also asked.

Ever since she met Li Zhi again, she always felt that Li Zhi seemed to be driven by an inexplicable sense of urgency, as if he had lost his former calmness and composure.

"It's nothing. You two don't have to worry about me. Just continue to pay attention to your Uncle Ye's battle with Mount Xumi. This battle may make you understand the most profound truth in the world." Li Zhi said.

"What's the reason?" Jin Ming and Li Xian'er asked almost at the same time.

"The only person who can defeat the emperor is another emperor." Li Zhi said.

Now, Li Zhi has gradually understood a truth: cultivators of different Dao realms cannot defeat the strong with the weak. Moreover, the Forbidden Zone Supreme is not the same as the real emperor.

When ordinary people grow old, their body functions become more than twice as weak as when they were at their peak.

The emperor is just a powerful mortal. As he grows old and weak, it is highly doubtful how much of his true combat power remains from his peak period.

Especially in this world after enlightenment, where there is almost no further advancement.

It is not the case that the longer you live, the higher your level of cultivation can be.

Once one's cultivation reaches the peak, it is impossible to go any further, unless one breaks through the limits of heaven and earth and goes against the will of heaven.

Otherwise, you can only watch yourself grow old day by day like an ordinary person.

To deal with the Forbidden Zone Supreme, perhaps resisting with force is far less efficient than attacking their remaining lifespan.

If one possesses the magical power to deprive one of one's lifespan, perhaps the means of eroding one's lifespan would have an unexpected effect.

After letting go of the idea of ​​fighting against the Forbidden Zone Supreme with force, Li Zhi suddenly felt that the world in front of him had opened up a lot, and most of the pressure in his heart instantly dissipated.

At the same time, after eight days and eight nights of setting up the formation, Ye Fan finally set up a super source sky formation on the outskirts of Mount Sumeru, isolating the entire Mount Sumeru from the outside world.

Unfortunately, this move can only work temporarily. Although the Yuantian Array is magical, the Imperial Array on Mount Xumi is equally powerful.

It is impossible to rely on the formation to defeat the monks on Mount Sumeru.

Afterwards, Ye Fan ordered the disciples of Heaven to preach in the Western Desert and change the beliefs of countless mortals in the Western Desert. However, this move was like a drop in the bucket for the massive amount of faith accumulated in Mount Xumi, and it could not shake the foundation of Mount Xumi at all.

After all, the power of faith on Mount Sumeru is the accumulation of all the faith of Buddhists who believe in Amitabha Buddha throughout the universe for hundreds of thousands of years.

Preaching in the Western Desert is more like a disgusting method.

However, Ye Fan also realized this situation, and then took out the Nine Levels of Divine Realm obtained from the Yuhua Ancestral Temple in Zhongzhou.

Sure enough, when the nine-layer coffin of the god was opened, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.

When the evil spirit of the emperor leaked out of the coffin, it immediately started a life-and-death battle with the power of faith on Mount Sumeru.

The power of faith comes from the thoughts of the living, while the power of the emperor's evil spirit comes from the evil spirit of the dead.

The collision between life and death resulted in astonishing changes.

"Observe carefully, this is a collision between life and death. If you can comprehend the creation in it, it will be very helpful for your subsequent practice." Just when Li Xian'er and Jin Ming were shocked to see that the Emperor's Evil had leaked out of the nine-layer coffin of the gods, Li Zhi instructed them.

"Father, is there really a great emperor's body buried in that small coffin?" Li Xian'er asked curiously.

"Don't be distracted, pay close attention to the mysterious creation produced by the collision between the power of faith and the corpse evil." Li Zhi continued to instruct.

At the same time, his senses were fully open, capturing the ultimate collision between the Emperor's power and the power of faith, attempting to capture some of the breath of Amitabha's thoughts from it.

Being able to live in the hearts of all living beings, turning divine thoughts into billions, and merging them with the power of faith, thus achieving immortality, this method of longevity is very magical and has a lot to do with the Shinto of the ancient times.

As Ye Fan opened the Ninth Heaven of Gods, the original confrontation situation immediately underwent a shocking reversal.

Especially when the body of the Divine Emperor walked out of the nine-layer coffin of the Divine Spirit, it caused great turmoil.

Even many forbidden area supreme beings were alarmed.

The corpse of the God Emperor just stood there, and the vast Mount Xumi seemed to be about to collapse. The array pattern laid by the Great Emperor Amitabha could not stop the arrival of the God Emperor at all. The Source Heavenly God Array arranged by Ye Fan was also collapsing in large areas. A corpse showed the power of the "Emperor" to the fullest.

Countless people felt a tremor from the bottom of their souls, and the monks on Mount Xumi were no exception.

Even the Great Peacock King, who was holding the demon-subduing pestle, was shaking.

It was as if facing the real emperor and king, the emperor's soldiers were not as strong as imagined. When the nine-colored fairy clothes of Shencanling were put on the emperor, he seemed to come alive and climbed up Mount Xumi step by step.

"The Divine Emperor is alive?" Countless people exclaimed, as if they had seen the most incredible scene.

"Dad, what's going on? I don't feel the breath of the Reincarnation Seal on him. And the emperor's corpse doesn't show any signs of spiritualism." After seeing the corpse of the Divine Emperor, Li Xian'er immediately had all kinds of doubts in her mind.

The corpse of the Divine Emperor gave people an extremely strange feeling, as if there was not a trace of life energy left, and the body was composed entirely of dead energy.

Logically speaking, even after death, the corpses of emperor-level strongmen are the best treasures in the world.

The essence can be extracted from it.

At that time, the ruthless emperor transformed in the Bronze Immortal Palace. After an accident, his body exploded and one third of his body was taken out of the Bronze Immortal Palace by his descendants.

However, although those corpses were filled with evil spirits, those holy places and noble families still had ways to extract the essence from them.

However, the body of the Divine Emperor seemed to be a creature from the underworld. There was no yang energy at all. Even under the observation of Li Zhi's Divine Eyes of Life and Death, the body of the Divine Emperor seemed to be made entirely of dead air, without any trace of life essence.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.

Although the emperor's body contains extreme death energy, it also contains extreme life essence.

It is like after Lingbao Tianzun passed away, his body turned into a vast star field of life, but Tianzun's Life Spring, which was comparable to the Divine Spring, was preserved, and even the Life Spring Immortal Liquid continues to this day.

But the Divine Emperor gave people the feeling that all vitality had disappeared, leaving only pure death.

It gives a completely opposite feeling to the great emperor's heart that Qingdi left to future generations.

"Is it possible that the Divine Emperor is really walking on the path of immortality, heading towards death?" Li Zhi couldn't help but wonder about the Divine Emperor's condition.

It was really because the God Emperor's condition was too strange and his death was too complete.

When the Divine Emperor in nine-colored battle robes climbed to the top of Mount Sumeru, the mark of the Great Emperor left by Amitabha on Mount Sumeru seemed to be activated.

The Divine Emperor's body suddenly expanded and soared into the sky in front of the Great Leiyin Temple. It was unknown how high it was.

At the same time, the Dharmakāśyapa mark of the Great Emperor Amitabha was not willing to lag behind, and his body also began to swell rapidly, transforming into a towering Buddha body.

Although it was the Demon-Subduing Pestle and the Ancient Emperor's Robe that dominated everything, it also somewhat reproduced the supreme style of the Monk Emperor and the Silkworm Emperor.

This scene shocked everyone. Is the showdown between the Emperor and the King about to happen?

After thousands of years of separation, there comes a day when they actually fight face to face.

But in Li Zhi's eyes, this was a rare opportunity to observe the magical powers possessed by the ancient emperors and great emperors.

Then a mysterious fairy tree shadow emerged from Li Zhi's body, covering him, Li Xian'er, and Jin Ming.

"Observe carefully, it will be beneficial for your future practice." Li Zhi's voice rose in the hearts of Li Xian'er and Jin Ming.

Li Xian'er and Jin Ming both knew that this was a rare opportunity and did not dare to be distracted in any way.

Moreover, Li Xian'er even sacrificed the wordless heavenly book made from divine purple gold, as if she wanted to copy all the teachings of Amitabha the Great Emperor and the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor.

"Boom!"

A trembling sound of the Great Dao was heard outside the domain, as if all the laws of heaven and earth were overturned.

This is just the collision between the auras they emit, but it is enough to disrupt the movement of the stars in the sky.

The Divine Emperor, with ten kinds of fairy lights blooming from his body, was confronting the Great Emperor Amitabha, whose Buddha's light was shining all over the sky. The laws in their bodies were flowing, emitting infinite divine light.

Under the guidance of the two imperial artifacts, tests of Tao and Fa were carried out, but even so, it caused great turmoil in the void.

No one knew whether they were victorious or not, as the contest soon ended.

Eventually, their bodies shrank and returned to normal height, and reappeared in front of the Great Leiyin Temple on the top of Mount Sumeru.

As the Dharma body of Amitabha Buddha disappeared, only the demon-subduing pestle was left hanging in the air. As for the Buddha's relics, they fell to the ground and lay motionless.

The nine-colored fairy clothes of the God Emperor let out a mournful cry, and after falling off from the God Emperor's body, they sent the God Emperor's body back to the nine-layer coffin of the gods.

Afterwards, the Emperor's Coffin, which condensed the dark yellow of heaven and earth and contained countless rays of light, flew back out of the domain and disappeared into the depths of the cold and dark universe.

Li Xian'er seemed to have fallen into a state of enlightenment, with Buddhist sounds and divine sounds coming from her body, and two kinds of Taoist marks appeared on the wordless heavenly book.

Li Zhi simply waved his hand to cover up the strange phenomenon emanating from Li Xianer.

At the same time, he no longer had any thoughts of plotting against the Supreme Emperor.

Instead of overestimating your abilities, it is better to stay low and practice well.

After observing the two imperial weapons controlling the Great Emperor's Dharma Body and the Ancient Emperor's corpse to test each other, Li Zhi has seen the real gap between him and the Great Emperor.

This gap cannot be made up by external forces.

Because he simply couldn't measure the real gap between him and the emperor.

If we take mortals as an example, the size of the emperor is like the most powerful ancient beast in the world, the stars in the sky, or the extremely exploding sun.

After watching a "duel", Li Zhi felt completely unsure.

It even caused Li Zhi to have deep doubts in his heart as to how Ye Fan in the original novel managed to survive the hands of the Supreme Emperor.

Is it really because he will step into the realm above the sacrificial path in the future, thereby gaining the ability of true "immortality", and will be immortal no matter which timeline.

Otherwise, Li Zhi could not explain why Ye Fan, a mere Great Sage, could survive the battle with the Supreme.

No matter how you look at it, the external forces on Ye Fan could not allow him to survive.

After observing the duel between the Silkworm Emperor and the Monk Emperor, Li Zhi immediately gave up the idea of ​​personally plotting against the Forbidden Zone Supreme during the dark turmoil.

Because taking the initiative to attack is no different from seeking death.

Just now, he felt that even if he used all his supernatural powers and magic weapons, he would not be able to survive in front of the Dharma body of Amitabha Buddha and the corpse of the Divine Emperor.

Unless he had the chance to sacrifice the three-layer altar in the secret realm of Lunhai, he was not sure he could pull the emperor onto the altar to transcend the tribulation.

In short, according to Li Zhi's deduction, as long as he takes action, there is no chance of survival.

After seeing the gap, Li Zhi gave up the idea in his mind.

After all, he is not Ye Fan. As a passer-by from another world, he must learn to admit defeat when the time is right.

If he wants to challenge the basic rules of this ancient history, he can wait until he is able to create another ancient history.

Otherwise, you must honestly abide by the basic laws of the world of Shrouding the Sky and strive to survive, and only then will there be a possibility of transcendence in the end.
