Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 410 A Life of Sadness

The Beidou Immortal Road finally came to an end.

Eleven supreme emperors ascended the immortal road one after another. In the end, four of them exhausted their blood and energy on the way and exploded directly on the way, leaving behind endless regrets.

Although the Ancient Qilin Emperor, who had returned from the road to becoming an immortal, did not pass away immediately, he could not hold on any longer and took a step back to the Qilin Ancestral Star. After saying goodbye to his children for the last time, he left behind an endless regret that shook the entire universe.

"My path to becoming an immortal, my method of becoming an immortal, and everything I, the Qilin Emperor, saw and realized on that path, are all contained in it. I will not pass it on to my daughter, nor will I pass it on to my own children. I will leave it for someone who is destined to have it!"

The voice of the Ancient Qilin Emperor reached the Ziwei Ancient Star Region. Li Zhi stood in the formation that had just been completed, looking at the Big Dipper from afar, and finally sighed.

These creatures, who once stood at the top of the universe for eons, have now fallen one after another on the road to becoming immortals. This has undoubtedly cast a thick layer of dust on the hearts of all those who have expectations for the road to becoming immortals.

If the path to immortality is real, even if they have no chance in this life, they can still seal themselves with the divine source liquid and wait for the day when the path to immortality opens in the next life.

If the eleven supreme emperors cannot penetrate the immortal path together, then what awaits them will be endless despair.

The failure of those ancient supreme beings not only represents themselves, but also represents that the years that nurtured their growth were gone in an instant.

It is really regrettable that after tens of millions of years of accumulation, we finally have to wait for such an ending.

Afterwards, the Great Emperor Wu Shi stabbed a knife into the hearts of all living beings.

On the Holy Cliff, the List of Gods performed a blood sacrifice on the immortal Taoist who had been suppressed for a hundred thousand years, and the Emperor Wu Shi's Bell launched an attack on the Immortal Road, showing the unparalleled edge of the Emperor Wu Shi to all living beings. Unfortunately, he only left behind one desperate sentence in the end, "I can't break into the Immortal Realm either."

The action of Emperor Wu Shi ended the expectations of all living beings on those emperors and kings.

Even though the Supreme One failed, the dream of all living beings to become immortals must continue.

On Mount Sumeru, hundreds of millions of Buddhists chanted scriptures, awakening the power of faith accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. The power of all living beings revived the divine body left behind by Amitabha Buddha, and then integrated with the power of hundreds of millions of Buddhists, recreating the glory of the Buddha Emperor in his former heyday.

Unfortunately, the Buddhist sect gathered the strength of all living beings to fight for the immortal path, but ultimately ended in failure.

The road to becoming an immortal was filled with bloodshed, hundreds of millions of Buddhists died, and eventually even the sacred Mount Sumeru was shattered into pieces. After returning to the Western Desert, there were only ghost monks chanting scriptures among the broken walls and ruins.

It is really sad that a sacred mountain like the highest one in Buddhism has turned into a ghost mountain.

This also verifies the ancient legend about the Western Desert that has been passed down since ancient times.

"The great student of the Western Desert showed his talent on the road to becoming an immortal. Now that he is dead, where is the Buddha? All the mercy of the past is in vain!"

First, the Supreme Emperor failed, and then all spirits also failed. Who else can break through the path to immortality and become immortal in this lifetime?
Defeat, defeat, defeat, successive failures make everyone terrified, make all beings fearful, and make all spirits feel despair.

Is there really no way to become an immortal?
For a moment, a feeling of despair surrounded everyone's hearts.

Eventually, due to a series of misfortunes, the Chaos Cave collapsed and the path to immortality was cut off, ending the hope of becoming an immortal in this life.

In the end, after paying a heavy price, there were still six supreme beings who survived with difficulty.

The Eternal Lord, the Stone Emperor, the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness, the Lord of Reincarnation, the Supreme Lord of Abandoned Heaven, the Lord of the Ruins of Gods.

"Let's go. A dark turmoil that will sweep across the entire universe is about to happen."

Even if one fails to become an immortal, the price of failure will not end with the collapse of the path to becoming an immortal.

If the Supreme Being fails in his attempt to prove his truth, it is possible that all living beings on an entire ancient planet will be destroyed.

What’s more, he failed to become an immortal.

As long as they do not die immediately, all living beings in the universe will be implicated by them.

After disappearing from outside the Ziwei Domain, Li Zhi took Li Xian'er and Jin Ming directly into the magic weapon space of the Human Emperor Seal to temporarily avoid the attack.

The Human Emperor Seal turned into a stream of light and sank directly into the vicinity of the North Sea Eye of the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Just a moment later, in the Big Dipper star field, terrible changes occurred.

The Great Saint Body confronted the Eternal Heavenly Venerable who had returned from the immortal path, and roared at the saints who were feeling sad outside the domain.

"Why don't you leave? Are you waiting to be someone else's food?"

The Great Saint Body exploded, shaking the void outside the domain and causing it to shatter. The sound spread directly to the entire universe.

Everyone was horrified, finally knowing what the inexplicable danger they had sensed before was. Everyone began to flee for their lives. No matter if they were saints or quasi-emperors, they opened the domain gates one by one and crossed the starry sky to escape to the outside world.

Unfortunately, it was too late. In the eyes of those supreme beings, their speed was extremely slow. It was useless to scan them with their divine thoughts even if they were hiding in the depths of the dead starry sky.

The Supreme began to repair his injured body and began to absorb and exhale the original essence between heaven and earth.

The sun of the Big Dipper went out and turned into a stream of innate essence that sank into the mouth of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

The Lord of Reincarnation only took one step and shattered the ancient star of Beidou into pieces. Then, billions of lives were deprived of their life force and died in an instant.

The Great Saint Body roared, but was unable to stop other supreme beings from hunting, and fighting against the Eternal Heavenly Lord was already very difficult for him.

He is no longer the saint with vigorous energy and blood. With his old body with little blood, it is already the limit for him to be able to hold back the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

Afterwards, another empress took action, but unfortunately, the ruthless emperor was not in good condition and could not stop the other five supreme beings from eating.

When the ruthless emperor turned into a fairy cocoon, the five forbidden zone supreme beings were completely left without opponents and began to act separately to devour the lives of all living things in the universe.

After the Supreme left, the Big Dipper star field became dark and deathly quiet, without a single sound.

These supreme beings failed in becoming immortals and took their anger out on Beidou, destroying this most prosperous place of life in one fell swoop.

Even if the ruthless emperor protected the main star of Beidou and prevented it from falling apart, it would probably never be able to regain its former prosperity after it was repaired in the future.

The Western Desert is dead silent. Mount Xumi is still there, but only the dead souls are left chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures there, making it seem like a ghost town.

The Nanling Mountains collapsed, and countless ancient beasts lay dead in the mountains and wilderness. Only a few small beasts that were regarded as the seeds of life were left crying for food. Countless big trees that had grown for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years also lost their former vitality, and the entire land was in a miserable state.

The forbidden zone of life in the Eastern Wasteland has become quiet, not as active as before, but it makes people more awe-inspiring, as if it is a devil's cave. God knows what kind of cruel demon is hiding in it.

Beiyuan is desolate, with few signs of life originally. Now they are even rarer. The road to immortality that was opened in Beiyuan in the past caused Beiyuan to become dead silent. Now, millions of years later, Beiyuan still has not recovered its former vitality.

It is conceivable that the opening of the path to immortality will have an impact on heaven and earth.

The five regions of Beidou were originally the most prosperous in Zhongzhou. Dragon veins were everywhere, hundreds of religions were everywhere, and the natural resources were abundant. But now the dragon veins have collapsed, the dragon energy has disappeared, and not a single spirit has survived. Countless people are crying, and the corpses of those whose lives have been taken away are piled up like mountains and seas.

It can be said that the world is sad and desolate, and there is no distinction between high and low, whether mortal or supreme.

Perhaps, this is the pain of living in this world.

The suffering of all living beings is even more serious than the real darkness that came during the ancient times of immortals.

The world is in turmoil, and all souls are in grief. What happened on the ancient Beidou star is only the beginning. "Heaven, please open your eyes and look at this earth. Is there still a way to survive? There are so many people being killed and blood everywhere. What hope is there?"

On a planet, a white-haired old man looked up to the sky and shouted angrily, his face full of tears. The life on the entire planet, regardless of race, was devoured by the passing Lord of the God Ruins. Countless life essences turned into rays of light and eventually became the energy for the Lord of the God Ruins to delay the cracks in the Immortal Platform.

In another direction, the Stone Emperor came to the ancient star Gou Chen, which is famous in the universe.

Devouring billions of lives would not cause any ripples in the heart of this extremely cold ancient supreme being. In the past, he had devoured tens of billions of lives to prolong his life. Now, if he wanted to prolong his life, he had to eat even more, even hundreds of billions, trillions, or even tens of trillions.

Therefore, any supreme being who has devoured the life essence of all spirits to extend his life, the dark turmoil he launches will only become more terrifying each time, and it has almost reached its peak in this life.

The five supreme beings roared through the sky and earth hunting all living things. Even the ancient star Gou Chen, which had given birth to more than one emperor, could not escape the fate of Beidou. The Stone Emperor raised his hand and massacred the entire ancient star Gou Chen.

He even left a sentence calmly: "Year after year, the flowers are the same, but the people are different. It's another life. I've been here before, and it's also the same bloody scene, but the feeling is different every time."

Unfortunately, the countless heroes who rushed out from the ancient stars, determined to protect all living beings, were like moths to a flame in front of the Stone Emperor. The magical powers that were able to shatter stars and kill gods in the past were now useless in front of the Stone Emperor.

Even the saints who hid among the stars in the universe could not escape the fate of being hunted by the Stone Emperor.

Under the scan of the Supreme Divine Mind, their hiding was useless.

At the same time, the Lord of Reincarnation, who was the first to bloodbath all living things, came to the earth after bloodbathed three life stars.

Finally, they encountered the strongest resistance in front of Hangu Pass.

After the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness massacred the Ancient Star of Tongtian with blood, he came to the Ancestral Star of Tyrant Body and activated the Great Tyrant Body that he had sealed himself in this place.

After a fierce battle with Dacheng Tyrant, the two stopped fighting, and then Dacheng Tyrant also became a member of the hunting group.

Then, the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness turned around and came to the Ziwei Star Region.

With a wave of his hand, billions of lives died suddenly, and he took away all their life force.

Before he could swallow those life essences into his stomach, a heavenly punishment thunder calamity comparable to the ninth level of immortal calamity suddenly appeared outside the Ziwei Realm.

"A small plan."

With just one palm, the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness destroyed the starry sky formation that Li Zhi had worked so hard to set up, and even dispersed the heavenly punishment.

Li Zhi, who was hiding near the eye of the North Sea, felt the changes outside the domain through the Human Emperor Seal, and his eyes suddenly became dim.

"If you can't become the Supreme, you really can't deal with the Supreme."

For a moment, Li Zhi's pursuit of combat power became more urgent.

In this era where dark supreme beings can easily exist and reap all living things, immortality without peerless combat power is just a delusion, and in the end one is nothing more than a thicker leek.

"Father (Master), what's wrong with you?"

Feeling the fluctuation in Li Zhi's aura, Li Xian'er and Jin Ming hurriedly asked.

"It's okay." Li Zhi shook his head.

Li Zhi, whose heart was as firm as iron, finally realized at this moment that placing all his hopes of ending the dark turmoil on others was not in line with his moral principles.

Afterwards, Li Zhi took out the Xiantian Bagua diagram and put himself, Li Xianer and Jin Ming in it.

Billions of lives died suddenly, leaving all creatures on the Ziwei Ancient Star helpless. They cried miserably and kept calling out the name of the Sun Saint Emperor.

Two hundred years ago, the Holy Emperor of the Sun returned and buried his body in the Eye of the North Sea.

All living beings hope that the Sun Saint Emperor can return again and protect them.

Perhaps he heard the cries of all living beings, or perhaps the thoughts of the gods of the past were not completely erased, but simply merged into the blood of the Sun Saint Emperor.

After hearing the calls of all living beings, the eye of the North Sea exploded, a coffin flew out, and a stone tower shook, emitting brilliant light.

The sarcophagus opened, and a human skin stained with the blood of the Holy Emperor began to swell. It was eventually awakened by all living beings by the will that had not yet completely dissipated. Holding an imperial tower in his hand, he dominated the world and killed the Supreme of Light and Darkness outside the domain.

Afterwards, the Taiyin Human Emperor Seal also flew out from the depths of the North Sea, was placed on a mysterious altar made of fairy gold, and flew to the side of the Sun Holy Emperor.

The imprint of Li Zhi's divine consciousness left in the Human Emperor Seal was instantly captured by the Sun Saint Emperor who returned against the will of heaven.

Then, the Holy Emperor of the Sun used the means of a great emperor to smash the mysterious altar on the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness, instantly attracting twenty-seven horrifying divine thunders of heavenly punishment that struck the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness.

Afterwards, the Holy Emperor of the Sun waved his hand and revived the second level of the starry sky formation arranged by Li Zhi. With the Sun Emperor Tower and the Moon Emperor Seal as the core of the formation, a Yin-Yang Immortal Refining Formation was formed in an instant.

The terrifying power of the moon and the sun were melted into the most terrifying chaos sword light and killed towards the Supreme of Light and Darkness.

Unfortunately, the Light and Dark Supreme, who had devoured the life essence of hundreds of billions of lives, was stronger than the Sun Saint Emperor, who was only in human skin. He soon broke through the Starry Sky Array with his powerful strength. The array arranged by Li Zhi was still too fragile in front of the real emperor.

Afterwards, the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness had another great battle with the Holy Emperor of the Sun.

In the end, the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness suffered a great loss, which consumed most of his already limited lifespan, and his condition was even worse than when he returned from the road to becoming an immortal.

The Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness, who did not want to reach the ultimate sublime and fight to death with the Holy Emperor of the Sun, finally chose to retreat.

The ancient star Ziwei escaped the fate of being completely bloodbathed and retained a small portion of its essence.

Although the fighting power and will that the Sun Saint Emperor borrowed from his previous life were extremely powerful, they could only last for a period of time.

Li Zhi felt heavy-hearted when he saw that his arrangement had not saved the life of any supreme being.

The strong man who can kill the Supreme Emperor can only be a strong man of the same level.

Even the forbidden weapons refined by the emperor would not play any decisive role when facing these once true ancient emperors and emperors.

The world is sad and desolate, and it is not subject to human will. There is blood everywhere in the universe. Saints are bleeding, quasi-emperors are dead, and only one in ten souls survives.

In this extremely dark world, being alive is a blessing.

Looking at the gradually hunched back of the Sun Saint Emperor, who was standing outside the domain, Li Zhi gained a new understanding of the cruelty of the world.

The tendency of him feeling self-important and looking down on those supreme beings who failed on the road to becoming an immortal was also completely extinguished.

How could he, a great sage who had no ability to resist the Supreme Being, comment on those people?

Perhaps, only by listening to the funeral songs of all souls can one be buried by all living beings.

After Li Zhi's mood gradually calmed down, his fighting spirit for cultivation became even higher.

A sad life in one lifetime does not mean sad lives forever. The darkness will eventually be swept away, and light will eventually belong to all living beings.
