Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 399: The Emperor's Seal Returns

"You ignorant boy, how dare you provoke the descendants of Kunlun." The three-eyed white-haired old man stared at Li Zhi with a gloomy face, a hint of anger in his eyes.

"The Kunlun descendants are just a race exiled by the Emperor and are not worth my provocation. I came here today just to take back the treasure of my clan's emperor. It does not belong to you, the Kunlun descendants." Li Zhi shook his head and said.

"If you want the Seal of the Human Emperor, I wonder if you'll live to get it." The three-eyed white-haired old man stared at the broken piece of armor on Li Zhi's head. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he saw hope of repairing the imperial weapon.

"Suppression!"

The white-haired old man poured his magic power into the Human Emperor Seal and went to suppress Li Zhi. In an instant, it seemed as if a Taiyin Sea appeared in the void.

The terrifying murderous intent of Taiyin made the great saints who came to persuade them to stop fighting retreat quickly.

The Taiyin murderous intent is the original murderous intent in the universe. Ordinary cultivators will be injured if they are touched by it, let alone the Taiyin murderous intent that is triggered by the Human Emperor Seal.

Everyone was curious about how Li Zhi would resist this attack. One must know that only extreme weapons can resist extreme power.

As for the remnant of soldiers hanging over his head, they did not think they were capable of protecting Li Zhi's safety.

"Ah, great ancestor, you have such order and grace. Your blessings are boundless and reach you. The emperor of heaven's will has descended to give birth to a nation and to rectify the four directions..."

Li Zhi did not make any move to stop the white-haired old man's attack. Instead, he took out a mysterious altar, placed the corner of the Human Emperor Seal on the altar, and began to chant a mysterious scripture to worship the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor Seal seemed to be affected by this and suddenly restrained all of its Taiyin murderous intent. It flew directly to the altar and glued itself together with the corner of the fragment.

"boom!"

The void shook violently, and the terrifying aura of the Human Emperor burst out from the Human Emperor Seal.

"How is it possible? How could you awaken the injured imperial soldiers and gods?" The white-haired old man was shocked by this sudden change.

The ancient war between gods resulted in the shattering of the Seal of the Human Emperor, and all the imperial soldiers and gods were injured and fell into an endless sleep.

After their Bailang clan picked up the Human Emperor Seal, they spent countless costs and sacrificed countless holy weapons before they gained control of the Human Emperor Seal and imprinted an indelible mark on it.

But just now he discovered that the mark inside was suppressed instantly.

It seemed as if the god of the Human Emperor Seal suddenly woke up at this moment and directly wiped off all the alien aura on his body.

"It's actually a soldier soul. There is actually a complete soldier soul hidden in the fragment of the imperial weapon in the Taoist Changshou's hand." The great sage of the ancient clan who was watching the battle on the side said with a little surprise.

Soldier souls are the best materials for repairing the holy weapons of gods. Even the emperors of the ancient times had raised supreme soldier souls to repair the ancient emperor's weapons.

The soldier soul within the fragment of Li Zhi's Human Emperor Seal was precisely the supreme soldier soul nurtured using the endless origin of gods and demons.

As the soldier soul entered the body of the Human Emperor Seal, it transformed into the most nourishing energy and revived the sleeping gods in the Human Emperor Seal.

Even the crack that ran through the entire seal became smaller under the nourishment of the Soldier Soul. The endless Taiyin Law flowed on the Human Emperor Seal, making the entire seal complete again. Although there were still tiny cracks on the seal, it was much better than the penetrating wound before.

At the same time, the aura of the Human Emperor Seal became more rounded, and the imperial laws within it no longer had that sense of incompleteness.

Without the Great Emperor's refining, it could not be restored to its best condition, but with the nourishment of the Soldier Soul, its condition was much better than before.

"No wonder Fellow Daoist Changshou dared to seize the Human Emperor Seal from the Kunlun survivors. It turns out he had been prepared for this."

After seeing this scene, many people showed jealousy towards Li Zhi.

Why don't they have such good luck to pick up the fragments of the Human Emperor Seal that possesses the spirit of a soldier?

The nurturing of a soldier's soul cannot be completed in a day or two. Considering Li Zhi's age, the soldier's soul must have been nurtured inside him when he got the fragment.

"The divine seal returns to its place."

Upon seeing this, the three-eyed white-haired old man's face changed drastically, and he immediately used a secret method to summon the Human Emperor Seal.

However, the Human Emperor Seal did not seem to be under his control.

The white-haired old man immediately took out a blood-colored altar and began to summon the Human Emperor Seal through the method of blood sacrifice.

At this moment, Li Zhi also used the secret method of controlling soldiers contained in the word "Soldier" to summon the Human Emperor Seal.

It seemed that the deity in the Human Emperor Seal sensed the stalemate between the two and flew directly from the altar, hovering in the void.

At the same time, a divine thought was emitted, neither of them helping each other.

Let Li Zhi fight with the three-eyed white-haired old man, and it will follow the winner.

After sensing the message from the Human Emperor Seal, Li Zhi said to the white-haired old man, "Senior, you should just give up. The Human Emperor Seal has already made its choice."

"Little thief, today I will kill you under the starry sky."

The three-eyed white-haired old man opened the vertical eye between his eyebrows instantly, and the terrifying destructive force shot towards Li Zhi.

"Destroy!"

Li Zhi wiped out the destructive light with just one move of the Heaven-shaking Palm.

"Ow!"

The three-eyed old man instantly let out a dragon roar, and then turned into a terrifying white dragon that was ten thousand feet long, but his head did not turn into a dragon head, and still looked like a human head.

"Woo, shh, eh, ah..."

After revealing his true form, the old man instantly performed his great Dharma and played a terrifying piece of music.

Each note turned into a demon-suppressing talisman, forming a huge demon-suppressing vase in the void, which was determined to suck Li Zhi into it and melt him into ashes.

"What a terrifying power to suppress demons. The demon-suppressing fairy music of the Bailang clan is indeed terrifying." Many great saints who were watching the battle felt upset and their blood was running wild after hearing that piece of music.

But Li Zhi calmly took out a suona and started playing it on the opposite side.

“Beep…”

The sharp sound of suona pierced the sky directly, penetrating the demon-suppressing field created by the demon-suppressing fairy music, and then everyone felt that a grand funeral scene appeared before their eyes.

An ancient coffin of a god emitting nine-colored rays of light condensed the mystery of heaven and earth. The grand sacrificial sound surrounded the ancient coffin, breaking through all earthly obstacles and flying into the sky.

The terrifying demon-suppressing bottle was instantly smashed to pieces by the ancient coffin of the gods that seemed to have condensed the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"Puff!" The three-eyed old man was attacked back on the spot, and even his terrifying true body was directly disintegrated.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

"The Taoist of Longevity is actually also proficient in music." A great sage from an ancient tribe looked at Li Zhi in surprise.

"No, how can he play the funeral music that is played when the Emperor of Heaven is buried?" The Great Sage Hun Tuo stared at Li Zhi with an uncertain look.

At the same time, in the Dark City, many saints who were able to see the battle in the sky inexplicably felt as if their souls were being sent away.

"Master is actually proficient in the art of sound attack. Sister Xian'er, has Master ever taught you the art of sound attack? It's so beautiful." Jin Ming said excitedly when she saw Li Zhi defeat the great sage of the Kunlun clan, who was famous for his powerful bloodline, with just suona.

Li Xian'er was also slightly stunned. She never expected that her father Li Zhi was actually proficient in suona, and even played the famous suona piece "The Great Funeral" to such a terrifying effect. "He actually played the nine-layer coffin of the God Emperor with music." Many monks who had seen the ancient coffin of the God Emperor in the battle of Mount Xumi looked at Li Zhi who was playing the suona with a strange look on their faces.

Although playing the suona does not look as elegant as playing the flute, its power is surprisingly strong.

This has caused many monks who have specialized in music theory to start thinking about whether they should change the instrument they play.

At this moment, the suona sound of Li Zhi from abroad changed its tune again, from sad music to the cheerful "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".

Little birds formed by the runes of laws were flying around Li Zhi, as if welcoming the birth of the king of birds.

Soon a colorful phoenix flew out from the suona and led hundreds of birds to attack the three-eyed old man.

The three-eyed old man hastily sacrificed a black magic bottle, which seemed to have the ability to swallow gods and souls. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the Dao treasure bottle condensed after practicing the "Devouring Heaven Magic Art" to a small degree.

There are countless mysterious runes engraved on the bottle, as well as two ancient imperial characters "Lianmo" that exude a peculiar Taoist charm.

After the Demon Refining Bottle exploded, it immediately took away all the birds that Li Zhi had played.

After seeing that the sound skill was useless, Li Zhi shook his head and put away the suona.

Afterwards, five rays of light appeared behind Li Zhi, and then a five-colored peacock bird flew out from behind him.

The five feathers behind the peacock bird immediately emitted colorful divine light, which was filled with the ultimate power of the five elements. In an instant, it formed an independent space that could not be affected by any force.

"Shh!"

The five-colored light brushed towards the Demon Refining Bottle on the head of the three-eyed white-haired old man, and the Demon Refining Bottle immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Is this... the Great Five Elements Divine Light?"

“It is indeed the Great Five Elements Divine Light which is said to be able to wipe out everything within the Five Elements. He actually mastered this ancient method. Among the Five-Colored Peacock Clan, who are said to be born with the Five Elements bloodline, very few members can cultivate the Great Five Elements Divine Light.” A great sage from the Tongtian Ancient Star Region said.

"Rumor has it that when Taoist Changshou was attaining enlightenment in the Taoist temple, twelve divine beasts appeared in the sky above the temple. Could it be that he has mastered the innate magical powers of the twelve divine beasts?" someone said secretly.

Thinking of the twelve mythical beasts that had appeared in the sky above Li Zhi's dojo that year, all of them were synonymous with power. The many great saints present instantly became more wary of Li Zhi.

His natal holy treasure was swiped away by Li Zhi, and the white-haired old man could no longer feel the aura of the Demon Refining Bottle in an instant, as if it was directly suppressed by Li Zhi.

"How dare you bully me like this, youngster?" The three-eyed old man was completely furious.

His realm was clearly two levels higher than Li Zhi's, but he was teased like a naughty child in front of Li Zhi.

Who is he? He is the great sage of the Kunlun descendants. They, the Kunlun descendants, are a race known to be the closest to immortals, and the power of their bloodline is extremely strong.

Ordinary human great saints, even those human ancient road protectors in the late great saint realm are no match for him.

Then, a fiery red feather appeared in his hand.

The feathers exuded a strong quasi-emperor aura, as if they were a secret treasure made from feathers that fell from a quasi-emperor-level Vermillion Bird.

"kill!"

The white-haired old man instantly took out his secret treasure and attacked Li Zhi.

After the feather was sacrificed, it directly transformed into a palm-sized Vermillion Bird, and flew towards Li Zhi's immortal platform at a speed that even divine consciousness could not capture.

It seemed as if it wanted to burn Li Zhi's soul into ashes.

"Buzz!"

Just when the divine bird Suzaku was about to reach three feet in front of Li Zhi, the void suddenly shook violently, and a mysterious Bagua diagram appeared in front of Li Zhi.

Then the Bagua runes flashed, and instantly constructed a time and space tunnel, swallowing the Vermillion Bird.

"This is... the innate Bagua diagram that Emperor Fuxi refined! It actually fell into the hands of Taoist Changshou." A great sage from the Ziwei star field looked at the Bagua diagram in front of Li Zhi in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, is there any special meaning behind this Bagua diagram?" asked a great sage from the ancient clan who was watching the battle.

"It is said that in order to help his son become an immortal, Emperor Fuxi killed a dragon of the ninth heaven of the quasi-emperor and refined it into a divine map, which was used as a heavenly treasure for his son to deduce the immortal way. That innate Bagua map can almost be called the most powerful magic weapon in the calculation of heavenly secrets. Its ability in the calculation of heavenly secrets is stronger than that of the emperor's soldiers. It is said that if a master of heavenly secrets gets the innate Bagua map, he can even cultivate a body of acquired good fortune. It is easy to avoid danger and turn disaster into blessing." The great sage from the ancient Ziwei star field showed envy. If he was a Taoist priest of the Tianji Sect, he would probably be unable to resist snatching the innate Bagua map from Li Zhi.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, a domain gate suddenly appeared in the void behind the white-haired old man, and then the Vermillion Bird directly pierced through the white-haired old man's back.

Even his Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and Dao Palace Secret Realm were shattered.

Normally, the secret realm of the human body and the physical body are not in the same dimensional space.

Injuries to the physical body will not affect the secret realm of the human body.

Otherwise, a great sage-level warrior would not be able to be reborn by dripping blood while keeping his soul intact.

Only if the secret realm of the human body is destroyed together, it will be equivalent to the cultivator's cultivation being cut off.

Even if the soul is intact, after rebuilding the body, one still needs to start practicing from the beginning.

After feeling his own vital energy draining away, the white-haired old man finally showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

Then without saying a word, he crushed a jade talisman.

In an instant, a domain gate began to be constructed beside him, and a faint quasi-emperor aura came from the domain gate.

"Long-lived boy, I will wait for you on the road to the underworld."

The white-haired old man burned the last of his magic power to penetrate the domain gate, as if to welcome the quasi-emperor to come.

Li Zhi instantly controlled the Xiantian Bagua diagram and shot out a quasi-emperor divine light, which wiped out the domain gate along with the white-haired old man.

"Huh, human race, Taoist of longevity."

At the moment when the domain gate was broken, a terrifying voice of a quasi-emperor’s divine thought came out from the domain gate.

"Is there a quasi-emperor behind the Kunlun survivors?"

After many great saints felt that energy, their expressions instantly became solemn.

"My dear friend Changshou, you'd better not take the Human Emperor Seal. Once the quasi-emperor arrives, you will surely die." At this time, the Great Sage Hun Tuo advised.

"Quasi-Emperor? The road to becoming an immortal is about to begin. Let's wait until he has the courage to descend to Beidou."

Then, Li Zhi waved his hand and grabbed the Human Emperor Seal hanging in the air.

"My fellow Taoists, let's say goodbye now."

After Li Zhi said something to the great saints who were watching the battle, he rushed towards the direction of the ancient forbidden area.
