Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 397 Forbidden Zone

In the wilderness of the Central Region, above the white clouds, an ancient battlefield was hovering in the void.

The incomplete Holy Spirit Stone Tiger roared, shaking the void within a radius of tens of thousands of miles and causing the sea of ​​clouds to roll.

But under the clouds, the creatures living in the wilderness seemed unaware of the terrifying aura above the sky.

It was as if a layer of white clouds formed a layer of sky, directly separating heaven and earth into two worlds.

"How dare you block the master's way? Aren't you afraid of being exterminated?" The servant who was imprisoned in the void by Li Zhi struggled hard, but his divine power disappeared in an instant.

It seemed as if in the void around them there was an invisible field that could dissipate force, making them unable to move at all.

"Crack!"

Li Zhi turned his head and took a look at the servants who were imprisoned in the void, and then an icy jade hand immediately flew out from the white clouds under his feet and started to beat those servants wildly.

"Clap clap clap..."

The slap was crisp and the force was just right, directly breaking the armor on the servants' bodies, and then slapping him hard on the mouth.

"You... actually... dared to hit us on the mouth. Are you challenging the dignity of the Immortal Mountain?"

Even though they were slapped in the face, they still spoke with a firm voice and did not feel at all how dangerous their situation was.

It was as if the Immortal Mountain was behind them, allowing them to ignore all threats from outside monks.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come out? Or are you waiting for me to invite you out in person?"

Seeing that the chariot was still calm, and even the murderous intent that had just erupted was restrained, Li Zhi was slightly surprised that this person could remain so calm.

At the same time, he became more wary of the monks in the car.

For a moment, there was no other sound in the void except the sound of slapping.

"After so many years, you are still the first cultivator who dares to slap a disciple in the restricted area in public."

Not long after, an indifferent voice sounded from the chariot, and then a white finger lifted the curtain, and a young man with a calm breath and deep eyes walked out of the carriage.

There was no murderous aura or heart-pounding pressure from him, but just by standing there one could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary. It was a very strange aura, as if there was a natural difference between him and other life forms.

Completely different from the creatures in the world.

He looked relatively young and very handsome, but his complexion was unusually pale, as if he had not seen the sun for years, resulting in a sickly pale complexion.

The young man looked at Li Zhi as if he was looking at a dead person, as if he had already sentenced Li Zhi to death in his heart.

"Are you from the Ji family?"

The young man looked Li Zhi up and down, as if looking down on him from a superior position.

It seemed that he had no fear of Li Zhi's strength, as if Li Zhi's level of cultivation was not worth his worry at all.

"I am not a member of the Ji family, but I don't want people like you to step out of the restricted area and add variables to this world." Li Zhi said lightly.

But to the young people, this sounded like a naked provocation from Li Zhi, as if he was treating those in the Life Forbidden Zone as prisoners in a prison, as if after entering the Life Forbidden Zone, they would lose the right to move around freely.

"You are very good. Remember my name, An Pu, and repent for your whole life on the road to the underworld." The young man seemed to laugh at the tone of Li Zhi's words.

There are actually people who are so arrogant as to treat the restricted zone of life as a cage and those who are in the restricted zone as prisoners.

Every time they were born, they dominated the world. In their eyes, the creatures living outside were nothing more than sheep on the grassland, which they could prey on at any time as long as they wanted.

But now, Li Zhi gave him the feeling of a sheep turning into a shepherd, as if they were the fat lambs kept in the sheepfold.

An Pu waved his hand directly towards Li Zhi, and a terrifying white jade hand immediately appeared in the sky, but there was gray-black demonic energy surrounding between the fingers, which seemed to have the effect of destroying all tangible things.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi only emitted a white fairy mist, which dissolved the dark power contained in the divine palm. Standing in the void, he allowed the dark palm wind to blow, but he was like a divine mountain in the wind, a divine island in the sea, and remained unmoved despite the wind and waves.

Even the white cloud under his feet was not blown away by the Dark Demon's palm. It was as if the world centered on Li Zhi was filled with a mysterious power that could dissolve all kinds of strange forces, turning all the strength exerted by the Dark Bodhisattva into invisible.

"Fellow Daoist An Pu, are you satisfied with my concentration?"

Li Zhi waved the whisk in his hand to blow away the gloomy air around him, then said to An Pu with a smile.

"You have some skills, but that doesn't give you the confidence to act wildly in front of the Forbidden Zone of Life." An Pu seemed surprised that Li Zhi could dissolve his casual palm.

However, this blow also rescued his servants.

One of the servants, whose mouth was the most swollen, knelt directly in front of An Pu and shouted at him, "Master, this man is so arrogant that he dares to ignore the majesty of the Immortal Mountain and disrespect us disciples of the Life Forbidden Zone. Please kill him and extract his soul and refine his spirit."

"Fellow Daoist An Pu, your servant is quite interesting. He seems to regard himself as the master of the forbidden zone of life. I wonder what Shi Huang and Xuanwu Ancient Emperor would think when they heard this." Li Zhi suddenly said with a smile.

"Who are you?" After hearing Li Zhi directly say the names of the two powerful emperors lurking in the Immortal Mountain, An Pu finally lost his composure.

"I am Li Changshou, also known as the Taoist of Longevity. Haven't I told you everything? Don't worry, I am not an ancient prince, nor a son of the emperor of the human race. I am just a seeker of the truth who is struggling to survive in this world." Li Zhi said lightly.

But An Pu didn't think so. He sensed a special aura from Li Zhi, which could even be said to be an immortal aura, as if Li Zhi was a creature from the immortal realm, closer to immortal than those creatures living in the forbidden zone of life.

However, they didn't know that this was the effect of Li Zhi using the power of the fairy fire to refine the fairy energy. After his body was baptized by the fairy energy, some inexplicable changes occurred, which seemed to have broken the shackles that had once been on his body, making his body rich in a special longevity substance.

Before Li Zhi completely consumed the life-promoting substances in his flesh and blood, his flesh and blood was far more like medicine for the human body than the flesh and blood of cultivators at the same level.

"No matter who you are, today is the day you die." An Pu did not believe what Li Zhi said, and his tone finally changed.

"Dark Demon Palm!"

Dark Bodhisattva practiced his profound skills, and magic patterns appeared on his fair skin. His palm power increased by more than ten times compared to before.

"You're here, I just wanted to see the inheritance of the Life Forbidden Zone."

Li Zhi showed an excited look on his face, and then his Taoist robe turned into a set of armor, and at the same time he swung his fist towards An Pu.

"Hercules Fist."

He did not use the magical secrets that came with the "Great Dao of Longevity Sutra", but instead used the seven free-hand fighting techniques he had summarized that year to fight the enemy.

"boom!"

After the collision of the divine palm and the divine fist, a huge explosion occurred in the void instantly.

The terrifying power of the Great Sage finally blew away the white cloud beneath their feet.

"Is this all the strength you have?" Li Zhi seemed a little disappointed with An Pu's palm power, and spoke sarcastically.

"The Dark Demon's true form."

An Pu felt Li Zhi's strength, and his whole body began to swell up. In an instant, he changed from a handsome and delicate young man into a terrifying demon with muscular body and covered with magic patterns.

"Yes, that's enough."

Afterwards, a layer of golden light rose from Li Zhi's body, making him look like a god of war.

"boom!"

After another violent collision, the two of them rushed towards the starry sky battlefield outside the domain at the same time.

"In all the years, you are the first person who has forced me to use my full strength. I remember that from the time I was born until now, no one has ever been able to force out my full strength." Shrouded in heavy magic light, Dark Bodhisattva spoke calmly with deep eyes, as if he was saying that after Li Zhi had forced out all his strength, the outcome would be only one word: "death."

"Fellow Daoist An Pu, it seems that sleeping in the Immortal Mountain for so many years has made your brain dull. I will cleanse your brain today. Let you see what it means to be at a disadvantage in this great world." Li Zhi said with a smile, as if he did not take the other party seriously.

"Today, I will make you understand that in front of the inheritance of the Life Forbidden Zone, all inheritances in the world are nothing but floating clouds." The demonic energy on An Pu gradually condensed into a demonic shadow behind him. There was a breath of the Great Emperor in the demonic shadow, as if it activated the power derived from the bloodline.

"Then come on. Today I will make you understand a truth. Any inheritance that deviates from the purpose of Emperor Huang Tian's preaching is a cancer of the world and should be swept into the dust of history." Li Zhi said with high spirits.

"Are you related to the legendary Emperor Huang Tian?" An Pu was obviously stunned, as if he had grasped some truth.

"I am not Zhang Bairen, and I don't have the luck to meet Emperor Huang Tian." Li Zhi shook his head.

Then, Dark Bodhisattva roared, "No matter who you are, I will remove your head today, search your soul and refine your spirit, and you will know the truth."

"Ten Kills of Gods and Demons."

The demonic shadow behind Dark Bodhisattva immediately released two black and white light blades, which formed a cross and attacked Li Zhi.

"Slay the dragon!"

Li Zhi made a sword gesture with his right hand and used the "Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique" to slash out a sword energy towards the two light blades.

The terrifying sword energy seemed to be no weaker than Dark Bodhisattva's Ten Killings of Gods and Demons.

"when!"

After the two collided, there was even a sound of weapons clashing.

In an instant, the battlefield outside the domain was shrouded in terrifying sword lights and shadows.

Countless meteorites were shattered into cosmic dust, and even a huge blank area appeared at the place of the battle.

"Who is fighting there? What a terrifying atmosphere."

In other places on the extraterritorial battlefield, groups of cultivators who were originally engaged in a fierce battle were alarmed by the unprecedented battle between Li Zhi and An Pu.

"Such a terrifying murderous intent, such overwhelming blood and energy, and heart-pounding fluctuations in the laws. Could it be that two great sage-level princes are fighting for life and death?" Countless people stopped fighting each other and watched the battle in the distance.

"One of them is a great saint of my human race, and the other one has a very strange aura. Where do such strong people come from?" A human saint captured the unique human qi and blood fluctuations emanating from Li Zhi.

A terrifying great holy war broke out on the battlefield outside the domain, which soon attracted the attention of the monks in the Dark City.

After seeing the fierce scene on the battlefield outside the domain, several great saints were shocked. If it were them, they would definitely be killed instantly by the two people in the battle.

"Emperor's son level battle." Countless saints realized this.

"Could it be that the prince of the human race is fighting with other ancient princes? But why do the two of them look so strange?"

"Taoist Master Changshou, it turned out that Taoist Master Changshou was fighting with the ancient prince outside the sky. Which ancient prince was this who could fight with Taoist Master Changshou to this extent?" A local cultivator in the Central Region recognized Li Zhi's identity.

After learning that one of the fighters was Li Zhi, countless people activated the Tongtian Magic Array to watch the battle outside the domain.

"Is this the inheritance of the Life Forbidden Zone? That's all, Fellow Daoist An Pu, you still haven't activated the Ancient Emperor bloodline in your body. If this is all you have, I will be extremely disappointed."

Li Zhi, who was able to fight on equal terms with An Pu using only the Seven-style Free-hand Fighting, once again defeated An Pu and began to mock.

"Master Changshou, today I will make you pay the price for your arrogance. I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth." An Pu became more and more frightened as the fight went on. He felt that he was at a disadvantage in almost all aspects when facing Li Zhi.

There is no method that can suppress Li Zhi. The ancient emperor's bloodline that he is so proud of seems to be less powerful than Li Zhi's bloodline.

The physical body is even more incomparable. Li Zhi's physical body is as strong as fairy gold and cannot be beaten at all.

"The Dark Demon Awakens."

An Pu finally let go of his pride as an ancient prince and activated the ancient emperor's bloodline in his body.

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, as if he had been fighting with An Pu for such a long time just to wait for this moment.

"The Sky-stealing Star-plucking Hand."

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi immediately used the Sky-Stealing Hand disguised as the Star-Picking Hand and started a fierce battle with Dark Bodhisattva.

Every time they fought, he could pick out a ball of Dark Bodhisattva's blood essence containing fragments of the Imperial Law from Dark Bodhisattva's body.

But An Bodhi did not realize this.

After activating the royal blood, the battle between the two continued for another hour.

In the end, Dark Bodhisattva lay wounded on the battlefield outside the domain.

"who are you?"

As if he had lost too much blood, An Pu's face had turned from pale to ghastly white, and he asked through gritted teeth.

Since he was born, his cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and he has almost defeated all his enemies. He has never experienced a disastrous defeat at the hands of cultivators of the same level.

Fighting with Li Zhi on the same level was like a battle between cultivators of two different levels. He once doubted whether he was the ancient prince or Li Zhi was the ancient prince. He even suspected that the ancient emperor's blood in his body was fake.

Li Zhi had no intention of killing An Pu. He stood in the void and said calmly, "I am Li Changshou. If you are not convinced, you are welcome to call for more helpers. I don't mind letting you and your helpers all taste the taste of a miserable defeat."

"Hmph, I'll remember you." An Pu looked at Li Zhi with cold eyes, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the battlefield outside the domain.

Although he still held the forbidden weapon bestowed by the Supreme Being, and even the quasi-imperial weapon left to him by his father to save his life, he also felt the aura of the ultimate imperial weapon from Li Zhi, and was worried that using the forbidden weapon would cause Li Zhi to use the imperial weapon to wipe him out.

Although An Pu is the descendant of an ancient prince of noble status, his father has been killed by the Void Emperor. In the Immortal Mountain, although his status as an ancient prince is much nobler than that of ordinary disciples, he is still not as good as those ancient princes whose fathers did not pass away.

This is also the reason why he would risk violating the agreement between the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone and the Emperor of the Void, and walk out of the Forbidden Zone of Life to explore the development of the outside world before the path to becoming an immortal was opened.

Although the Life Forbidden Zone is high above, it refers to the supreme being within the forbidden zone, not disciples like them.

Especially after his father was killed by the Void Emperor, he was just a chess piece with stronger talent in the hands of the Forbidden Zone Supreme.

They knew better than anyone that a new emperor would only be born from the group of geniuses outside, and not from a restricted area like theirs.

Especially this golden age, which forced them to put aside their arrogance and go out to explore the development of the age.

Especially since the number of supreme beings in the Immortal Mountain is far less than before, the disciples in the forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Mountain are very worried that another Void Emperor will appear outside and flatten the Immortal Mountain.

Li Zhi naturally had no idea what An Pu was thinking, and even if he knew, he would not take it to heart.

Such ancient princes who have no real backing will never let those supreme beings stand up for them.

There is no such thing as love and affection among the supreme beings in the restricted area.

It’s just that everyone has a common goal, and they are even mortal enemies of each other.

In this battle, Li Zhi collected a lot of the essence and blood of Dark Bodhisattva, which was considered a fruitful harvest.

He hoped that An Pu would not let him down and bring out all the other descendants of the ancient emperors in the Immortal Mountain.

By then, he will be able to collect the Supreme Ancient Blood even faster.

After feeling the gazes from all over Beidou, Li Zhi turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the battlefield outside the domain.

After returning to the central area of ​​the Eastern Wilderness, he did not return to the City of Darkness, but entered an inconspicuous mountain outside the city.

Although the battle with An Pu was not an evenly matched one, it did allow him to witness many secret techniques from forbidden areas.

It takes some time to recall the past.

　Sorry for overestimating myself last night, this is from last night.
