Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 412 Torture and Rebirth

The empress revived and became invincible.

The terrifying power of the flying fairy directly blew up the extremely sublimated Supreme Emperor.

This most terrifying dark turmoil in history came to an end under the powerful attack of the empress, and it lasted surprisingly short.

It can even be said that the moment the empress broke out of her cocoon, the dark turmoil came to an abrupt end.

The empress's fairy-like appearance shocked the nine heavens and ten earths, the universe and the eight wildernesses, and of course all the supreme beings in the forbidden areas.

Jidao Shenghua was defeated by the empress without any suspense, which surprised them greatly.

The darkness fell, all living beings were in sorrow, and this turmoil left too much sorrow in the universe.

"It's over. It's finally over. The darkness of blood and tears has ended!"

"The catastrophe is over, and we are still alive!"

Cheers were heard from all over the universe. Everyone was extremely excited and happy to be alive.

"Why, why didn't you take action earlier..."

"I hate it. Why are all the people who died my relatives and friends..."

Of course, not all of the survivors were grateful to the heroes who took action. Instead, some of them felt resentment and roared to the sky, blaming the empress for not protecting them in the first place.

Love and hate!
Kindness and hatred!
This is most evident in crazy people.

People vented and screamed as loudly as they could to let out their emotions.

When the cheers and excitement, cursing and anger ended, people gradually calmed down, and an atmosphere of sadness and desolation began to spread in the ancient places that had suffered bloody disasters, and gradually, sounds of crying were heard.

"Woooo..."

The whimpering sound seemed to become the main color of the world, and sadness was everywhere.

This dark turmoil that affected the entire universe killed too many lives. Ancient places of life were washed in blood one after another. The earth was piled with corpses like mountains, and there was no way to bury them all.

The scenes of hell on earth are everywhere. It may take hundreds of years and several generations of people to heal the pain left in the hearts of all living beings by the turmoil and to eliminate the impact of this bloody disaster.

There was too much loss in this battle, all living beings were killed and all races were bleeding.

But countless heroic figures also emerged.

Even though most of them didn't even have the ability to get into the battlefield and their blood was shed under the starry sky, it didn't stop them from showing their indomitable will and heroism in the blood and chaos.

The Forbidden Zone Supreme is simply too powerful, and can only be killed by someone of the same level.

The void was dark, the universe was covered in blood, the underworld was desolate, the holy body disappeared, and there was no beginning or end. This battle destroyed too much.

The Void Mirror was shattered, the Great Emperor Sword was broken, the Nine Li Map was torn, the Western Emperor Tower was ruined, the Hengyu Furnace exploded, and the Human Emperor Seal was dead...

Since that day, almost all the imperial weapons in the universe have been destroyed, and the most destroyed among them are those that were once in the hands of major human forces.

The war was over, and cries were heard in the starry sky battlefield. They were the relatives and friends who went to look for Ye Fan, Ji Zi, Jiang Taixu, Gai Jiuyou and others.

Afterwards, all the major inheritances, immortal dynasties, holy places, powerful clans, etc. came. Some were silent, some cried out in grief, and they all paid tribute to Emperor Void, Emperor Hengyu and others.

"Dad (Master)..."

Li Xian'er and Jin Ming, who were far away on the ancient star Ziwei, also controlled the divine map to tear through the void after waking up, and came to the starry sky battlefield to look for Li Zhi's whereabouts.

After seeing Li Xian'er and Jin Ming coming, Hei Huang instantly appeared beside them and asked, "Is Taoist Priest Li alive?"

"Sister Li, do you know where my master is?" Ye Tong, with tears in her eyes, could not find a drop of blood or a bone of Ye Fan on the battlefield, so she immediately came to Li Xian'er and Jin Ming and asked.

"Dad is not dead, but the soul lamp on his forehead is dim and he is almost in a dying state." Seeing so many familiar faces, Li Xian'er immediately took out Li Zhi's soul lamp for everyone to see.

"He's not dead. Taoist Li is really not dead." When Heihuang saw that Li Zhihun's lamp was still burning, he shouted excitedly.

"Black Emperor, what is going on?" The Holy Prince also came to them and asked.

Afterwards, Hei Huang told everyone about how he and Ye Fan met Li Zhi in Beidou.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Zhi was also involved in this battle.

"As long as we find the remains of the Sun Saint Emperor's Imperial Tower and the Human Emperor Seal, we may be able to find Taoist Li. He is the one who truly entered the Supreme Battlefield, and he definitely knows whether Ye Fan died in the end." Black Emperor said excitedly.

In the previous supreme war, outsiders could only sense the terrifying fluctuations coming from the starry battlefield and had no ability to see what was happening on the battlefield.

"Xian'er, please make sure you find Taoist Li." A glimmer of hope flashed in Ji Ziyue's sad eyes, and she directly pulled Li Xian'er's hand and said.

"Aunt Ziyue, don't worry, I will definitely find my father." Li Xianer comforted Ji Ziyue.

Everyone searched almost the entire starry battlefield, but in the end, they did not find a drop of blood or a bone of Ye Fan and others.

Only the soul lamp left by Li Zhi was still swaying. When it was about to go out, it still glowed strongly, giving everyone a glimmer of hope.

Finally, Ye Tong, Hua Hua, Xiao Que'er, Hei Huang, Li Tian, ​​Yan Yixi and others from the Heavenly Palace followed Li Xian'er and Jin Ming back to the Ziwei Ancient Star.

When they arrived at the North Sea Eye of the Ziwei Ancient Star, Li Xian'er told them about Li Zhi's arrangements for the day.

"The sea eye is closed, and it is closed by the power of the emperor level. We can't get in." Black Emperor said after circling the sea eye several times.

"Didn't Miss Xian'er say that the Holy Emperor's coffin was sent into the sea eye by Taoist Li? How could it be guarded by the power of the emperor?" Yan Yixi asked.

"Ye Tong, activate the Sun True Blood in your body and sense the aura of the Sun Holy Emperor Tower. See if the emperor tower that did not appear on the battlefield has returned to the Eye of the Sea." Black Emperor urged.

Hei Huang knew that with Li Zhi's stable character, he would never enter the supreme battlefield without the ability to protect himself.

"No, I can't sense anything." Ye Tong used a secret method to search for the whereabouts of the Sun Holy Emperor Tower through the mysterious blood sensing, but in the end found nothing.

"Now I am somewhat suspicious that Ye Fan may not really be dead." Black Emperor said after pondering for a moment.

"Uncle Heihuang, is it true that my master is not dead?" Ye Tong, Huahua and others asked excitedly.

"Heihuang, how are you sure?" Li Tian also asked.

"Back then, Duan De and I were guests at Taoist Priest Li's Taoist temple. After getting drunk, we had a drunken chat. Taoist Priest Li was drunk at the time, and he talked to Duan De and me about the topic of immortality. He once said something with great confidence, which I still remember vividly. I thought he was talking nonsense, but now it seems that it might be true." Hei Huang thought for a moment and then said to everyone.

"What are you talking about? Heihuang, stop playing dumb." Yan Yixi asked.

"Back then, when we were discussing how all living things can achieve immortality, Taoist Li once said while drunk that if you hugged Ye Fan's thighs tightly, you would achieve immortality. At that time, he also said from the bottom of his heart that he envied Ye Fan: Who in the world is immortal? Only Ye Tiandi is immortal. But when I asked him the reason, he kept changing the subject. After he sobered up, he even denied saying that."

Heihuang still remembers vividly the envious expression on Li Zhi's face when he said, "Only Emperor Ye Tian is immortal."

Even when mentioning the Immortal Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, or even the Beginningless Emperor, Li Zhi's emotions were very stable, and he even had the confidence that he would be able to surpass them.

However, when talking about Ye Tiandi, the envy that Li Zhi unintentionally exuded was completely different from when he talked about other people.

It seems like there is an emotion of wanting to be on par with it, but there is no certainty in the heart, and even a little confused.

At that time, Heihuang was very puzzled. Who was the Ye Tiandi that Li Zhi mentioned? It couldn't be Ye Fan, who was often bitten by him, right?

But now thinking about it, Heihuang felt that perhaps the immortal Emperor Ye Tian mentioned by Li Zhi might really be Ye Fan.

After listening to Hei Huang's explanation, the sadness on everyone's faces disappeared for the most part, and they were instead filled with deep doubts.

Then their eyes all focused on Li Xianer and Jin Ming.

"Miss Xian'er, did Taoist Li leave any words? Why didn't Emperor Ye Tian die?" asked Xiao Que'er, the goddess of heaven.

"I don't know either. Father never told us the story of Emperor Ye Tian. He only told us the story of Emperor Huang Tian." Li Xian'er quickly shook her head.

Finally, everyone left the North Sea with deep doubts.

Everyone in the Heavenly Palace returned to Tianzhi Village, while Li Xianer and Jin Ming stayed on an island filled with spiritual energy near the eye of the sea in the North Sea and set up the dojo there. "Sister, will the master come back?" Jin Ming asked.

"Yes, Dad may have been seriously injured and is recovering now." Li Xianer said.

Although Li Zhi's soul lamp looked a little dim, it no longer showed signs of being about to go out, which gave Li Xian'er endless confidence.

At the same time, deep in the North Sea Eye, there is a mysterious underground space.

There, a broken seal was quietly lying on a coffin bed.

Next to the seal there is a huge sarcophagus.

At the same time, next to the sarcophagus, there is a small golden tree emitting the power of the sun. At this moment, the small tree is emitting pure solar energy and infusing it into the seal that is almost shattered to pieces.

This small tree is not something else, but the immortal Fusang tree that accompanies the coffin of the Sun Emperor.

The extremely dilapidated seal is the Taiyin Human Emperor Seal that played a great role in the supreme battlefield.

Inside the seal, there was a stone tower that was infusing the essence of divine power from the Fusang elixir into a body that seemed to be forcibly pieced together, to ensure that the body, which was full of cracks, would not explode into a pile of flesh and bones.

This is Li Zhi’s current situation.

He used a forbidden technique that truly had the power to destroy the universe, and directly summoned the most original guardian mark left by Emperor Huang Tian in this world, ending the life of a supreme emperor in an instant.

However, using this forbidden secret technique is naturally not without cost.

When the broken three-layer altar re-condensed in his Wheel Sea Secret Realm, the remaining supreme sword energy immediately emerged from the altar and directly chopped Li Zhi's body and soul into countless pieces.

If his true spirit had not temporarily merged with the imperial soldiers and gods of the Sun Holy Emperor Tower before he entered the battlefield, thus protecting his immortal soul.

He is probably dead now without a burial place.

The Taiyin Human Emperor Seal was the main medium for launching the secret method of destroying the world. The moment the Supreme Lord of Light and Darkness was killed by the supreme sword light, the imperial soldiers and gods within the Human Emperor Seal were also killed.

Then, the Holy Sun Emperor's Imperial Tower suppressed the sword energy that erupted from Li Zhi's body.

But he was unable to extinguish the sword energy.

Moreover, in order to preserve Li Zhi's soul, His energy consumption was also very great.

After leaving the battlefield, Di Ta took Li Zhi directly back to the North Sea Eye, and then began to extract the essence of the elixir of immortality from the Fusang sacred tree to stabilize Li Zhi's injuries.

At this moment, Li Zhi looked like he had been tortured to death, and then pieces of flesh and blood were forcibly glued together.

But even so, an extremely terrifying sword energy would burst out from his body from time to time. Every time the sword energy burst out, Li Zhi's body would be shattered into 36,513 pieces of uneven thickness.

Afterwards, under the restoration of the elixir of immortality and the restraint of Li Zhi's path to immortality, the more than 30,000 pieces of flesh and blood were glued together again.

However, every time when the sword marks on his body were about to disappear, a burst of sword energy would always burst out from his body at the right time, cutting him into 36,513 pieces again.

Even the soul is like this.

That is to say, his true spirit was protected by the Sun Emperor Tower, so he did not die immediately.

However, he could feel the pain of the torture of slicing and lingchi.

At the beginning, this state of slow slicing would be repeated almost every few breaths. Now, after returning to the Ziwei Ancient Star and obtaining the elixir of immortality to repair his injured body, it would be repeated every incense stick of time.

As Li Zhi's body and soul showed amazing adaptability during the process of being sliced ​​continuously, the time interval between each torture was gradually lengthening.

After a year, it finally stabilized to the point where slicing and torture would only occur once every other day.

At this point, the interval between being sliced ​​by the sword energy seemed unable to be shortened any further.

Li Zhi finally had the opportunity to recover from his injuries on his own.

From then on, he began to mobilize all the strength he could to fight against the sword energy in his body.

In the years that followed, Li Zhi sat under the Fusang sacred tree with the Imperial Tower of the Sun Emperor on his head, and began a long and painful journey of self-rescue.

Fighting the Supreme One indeed comes at a price.

Even the forbidden weapon refined by the Immortal Emperor is useless.

Not to mention the possibility of using the body of the Great Sage to counterattack the Supreme Emperor.

Although a supreme emperor was sent away, the price was too high.

Going through the torture of slicing and slow slicing once a day was even more painful than being banished to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor and exiled to the Quicksand River, where he was tortured with flying swords piercing his chest and sides every seven days.

Li Zhi was tortured in the eye of the North Sea, but time passed like running water.

Time is the greatest force in the world. Under its coordination, all pains can be slowly changed.

All the souls that experienced the bloody catastrophe began to gradually come out of their sorrow. With the replacement of generations of mortals, the impact of the dark turmoil was also rapidly disappearing.

As the new generation of monks continued to grow, the entire universe began to show signs of budding vitality, as if the land watered with blood was about to grow the most beautiful flowers.

Time flies, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

Inside the sea eye, under the Fusang tree, Li Zhi, who was concentrating on healing his wounds, finally eliminated the last trace of sword energy in his body.

But all his skills were cut into pieces by the sword energy.

However, the body and the soul became extremely strong in this torture, even powerful beyond the limit.

Although there was no trace of the power of law in his body, he felt that he could kill his former self with one punch just by relying on his physical body, and he could wipe out countless of his former selves just by relying on his soul.

Li Zhikong now has an extremely powerful soul and body, but he does not have the corresponding powerful laws, which looks quite strange.

At the same time, in the process of erasing the sword energy, Li Zhi also used the secret method of stealing the secrets of heaven to steal some mysterious fragments of laws from the sword energy. Eventually, those fragments of laws autonomously transformed into mysterious runes of the avenue, and finally formed an extremely mysterious scripture.

Li Zhi suspected that the scriptures transformed from those great Dao runes were part of the profound meanings contained in Emperor Huang Tian's "The Great Law of Transmutation and Self-Realization".

Because this scripture possesses a magical power, it can use a medium to summon a fighting body of unknown strength.

Li Zhi named that piece of scripture "The Devil Summoning Sutra".

Li Zhi, who had lost all the laws of the Dao, did not leave the Eye of the North Sea, but began to practice the Dao from scratch.

In the next hundred years, he practiced the Dao from the beginning, making rapid progress all the way, and directly raised his Taoism to the pinnacle of the Great Sage, only then did he stop practicing.

Moreover, his Taoism has become more solid than before.

In the process of fighting with the sword energy, his comprehension of the Great Dao had already reached an extremely profound level. Therefore, he was able to practice the secret method of "Change of the Great Dao" of the Tornado without the need for a medium.

Because he did not create the scriptures of the Xiantai Volume, Li Zhi did not forcefully attempt to reach the Quasi-Emperor realm in the Sea Eye.

Although he did not feel that the Quasi-Emperor realm was an insurmountable bottleneck, he also knew that the practice of a Quasi-Emperor was completely different from that of a Great Sage and he needed to be prepared in advance.

Standing under the Fusang tree, Li Zhi carefully placed the Sun Emperor Tower on the coffin of the Sun Saint Emperor. Then, after respectfully bowing three times towards the sarcophagus, he collected all the fragments of the Taiyin Human Emperor Seal.

In order to protect him, the gods in the Sun Emperor Tower consumed a huge amount of energy, and it would be impossible to recover without a hundred thousand years of sleep.

"Thank you, Brother Tree, for your care. I will definitely repay you in the future." Then Li Zhi also thanked the immortal Fusang tree.

During the healing process, he almost devoured half of the essence of the elixir of immortality in the other person's body, which ensured that his own life source was not consumed by the daily torture of slow slicing.

"It's time to go out." Li Zhi punched the void above his head. His fist seemed to contain the power of creation, and it directly opened a void passage.

Then his figure disappeared from the place where the Sun Holy Emperor was sleeping.
