Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 427: Group Fight against the Quasi-Emperor
The cold, dark and silent star field became hot due to the arrival of four quasi-emperors.

A powerful quasi-emperor aura emanated from them, as if brighter than the sun, filling the entire desolate star field with a powerful breath of life.

The three quasi-emperors from the forbidden zone of life who surrounded Li Zhi vaguely also sensed the vast quasi-emperor aura emanating from Li Zhi. It did not seem like he had just broken through to the quasi-emperor level.

His level of cultivation seems to be no lower than theirs, and he seems to be a powerful quasi-emperor at the third or fourth level.

"You dare to disobey the order. Aren't you afraid that the Supreme One will personally take action and kill you in this starry sky?"

Seeing that Li Zhi on the opposite side seemed to have ignored their warnings, even after they took out the decree written by the Supreme Emperor in the restricted area, Li Zhi still showed disdain, which made the three quasi-emperors feel extremely difficult.

"You want to use them to scare me. Do you think I was brought up by being scared?"

Li Zhi's originally gentle eyes suddenly became sharp, and even when he was staring at the three quasi-emperors from the forbidden zone of life, there was a sharp light in his eyes, as if he was looking at prey.

This look made the three quasi-emperors very unhappy.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Today, we will let you know that the majesty of the restricted area cannot be touched." One of the quasi-emperors pointed at Li Zhi with the magic sword in his hand and said.

"Are you a subordinate of the Changsheng Tianzun lineage?" Li Zhi asked curiously when he saw that the style of the quasi-imperial sword was quite similar to that of Changsheng Tianzun's imperial weapon, the Changsheng Sword.

Unfortunately, that person did not respond to Li Zhi. Instead, another Quasi-Emperor who offered an ancient stele emitting the aura of all beasts said to Li Zhi coldly, "Young man, don't think that you can act presumptuous in front of us just because you have achieved the Quasi-Emperor status. When we became Quasi-Emperors, your ancestors were still playing in the mud."

"This longevity Taoist has extraordinary means. The two Taoist friends should stop wasting time talking to him. Just suppress him and bring back his soul to the Lord for punishment." The other quasi-emperor who was holding a spear said with murderous intent.

"You want to besiege me? I have nothing to fear. Just come at me."

It seemed that Li Zhi also wanted to have a good fight with the quasi-emperor of the same level. The Taoist robe on his body directly turned into a set of armor that wrapped his whole body. At the same time, the Nine-Curved Dragon Staff that had evolved into a quasi-emperor weapon appeared in his hand.

"kill!"

In an instant, Li Zhi and the three quasi-emperors from the Forbidden Zone of Life launched an earth-shaking battle.

The destructive power of the quasi-emperor war is extremely shocking, and it can easily destroy stars and regions.

Li Zhi only fought with the three people for a short while before the dead star field was completely turned into cosmic dust.

"boom!"

The Nine-Curved Dragon Staff seemed to be resurrected in Li Zhi's hand, and it directly transformed into a real black dragon, emitting an extremely terrifying destructive force. It hit the quasi-emperor holding the magic sword at a tricky angle, instantly exploding his body.

Unfortunately, before he could kill the opponent's soul, the other two quasi-emperors besieged him.

After the battle, Li Zhi had already tested their true combat power and ability.

The quasi-emperor who was a disciple of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable who was born in the Immortal Mausoleum has the highest cultivation level, and is in the late fourth level of the quasi-emperor realm.

The quasi-emperor soldier from Shenxu is a quasi-emperor with a piece of the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Monument. His cultivation is second to none, but he is also at the early stage of the fourth level of the quasi-emperor realm.

The weakest one is the Quasi-Emperor from the Taichu Ancient Mine, but his cultivation is also at the peak of the third level of Quasi-Emperor.

However, Li Zhi's cultivation at this time was only at the middle stage of the third level of Quasi-Emperor, which was still a long way from the peak.

Fortunately, the three quasi-emperors were all promoted through practicing the great emperor’s scriptures, rather than being powerful and invincible quasi-emperors who created their own quasi-emperor scriptures and walked out of their own paths to enlightenment.

Therefore, their combat power only reached the average level of quasi-emperor.

Unlike Li Zhi, the scripture he practiced was the one he created himself that was most suitable for him and could bring out his combat power to 100%.

During the battle, Li Zhi could stand in the divine forbidden area from time to time and directly blow up the opponent's body.

Unfortunately, these three quasi-emperors are not weaklings like ancestor Kunpeng who had just been promoted to quasi-emperor. They are all quasi-emperors who have experienced hundreds of battles.

Even if the physical body is blown up, it can be restored in an instant.

Especially, the subordinates of Changsheng Tianzun seemed to have cultivated the secret of the word "zhe" to an extremely profound level.

His body's recovery ability is not even weaker than Li Zhi's.

The most powerful one among the three of them is the quasi-emperor whose weapon is the Monument of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Fist is extremely powerful.

Its power seems to be no weaker than the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist that comes with the Holy Body and the Tyrant Fist that comes with the Tyrant Body.

On the contrary, the quasi-emperor with the most murderous aura seemed to have extremely terrifying attack power in every shot, but Li Zhi always felt that his gun lacked the will to move forward and break through the world, and could not release the terrifying explosive power to defeat the enemy.

If he could suddenly unleash ten times the explosive power in battle like the cultivators who had practiced the "Jie" secret, I'm afraid even Li Zhi might not be able to withstand it.

Unfortunately, he can't.

Therefore, he is also the quasi-emperor whose physical body has been destroyed by Li Zhi the most times.

However, it was not easy for Li Zhi to kill the three of them.

The three of them cooperated well and did not give Li Zhi any chance to kill them alone.

Unless Li Zhi reveals that he possesses a strong foundation that allows him to fight against a quasi-emperor sixth-level cultivator.

Otherwise, relying solely on the average combat power of the third level of the Quasi-Emperor that he had displayed to the outside world, it seemed that he would not be able to withstand the siege of the three Quasi-Emperors.

But even so, Li Zhi didn't want to reveal his true strength.

Especially since he was not sure how those forbidden zone supremes tracked his whereabouts, he did not want to expose his true talent.

God knows whether those forbidden zone supreme beings are secretly watching the battle between him and the three quasi-emperors at this moment.

Therefore, after Li Zhi showed extraordinary bravery at the beginning, which was in line with the general fighting power of the geniuses of the time, his aura dropped a little.

The battle began to turn against him.

"Don't go too far. You are not a hero if you use your numbers to bully the few." Li Zhi seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and shouted angrily.

"Turns out you're a coward. I thought you could continue to unleash the combat power you just showed. Turns out you burned your essence in advance." The quasi-emperor from the Taichu Ancient Mine finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Li Zhi's aura begin to drop, and said with disdain.

"If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one. I won't accept it if three of us fight against one." Li Zhi continued to roar, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.

At the same time, two gazes from Beidou disappeared in the dark after seeing Li Zhi's "real" combat ability, as if they had lost interest in Li Zhi, an "ordinary quasi-emperor" with mediocre combat ability.

After those two gazes disappeared, Li Zhi instantly felt that the pressure on his mind had been reduced a lot.

"So you're just a fake Taoist priest with a sharp tongue." The quasi-emperor from Xianling who had started to beat Li Zhi also had a look of indifference in his eyes.

In a battle between quasi-emperors, as long as the strength is not too different, it is not an easy task to decide life or death in an instant in the battle.

The quasi-emperor's vitality was so strong that it far exceeded the Great Sage's imagination.

Li Zhi was able to kill the ancestor Kunpeng in half a cup of tea, but he was unable to kill the three quasi-emperors in front of him within an hour.

Unless he is willing to expose all his strength.

However, he was not stupid. How could he expose his true talent to the supreme beings in the Life Forbidden Zone in advance for the sake of three quasi-emperors with no future?

Li Zhi, who practiced "The Great Dao of Longevity", had such a strong source of life that he was not weaker than those quasi-emperors at the eighth or ninth level or even those cultivators who had achieved enlightenment in other ways.

It is even possible that the life essence is stronger than that of some great emperors who consumed too much of their life essence before achieving enlightenment.

If his true background is exposed, who knows whether there will be a supreme being in the forbidden area who will be unable to resist and come out to the world to consume him as a elixir of life.

According to Li Zhi's speculation, before he advanced to the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, he did not have the ability to protect himself in front of the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

Of course, he has the ability to die together, but he is not stupid, so he can't use that ability easily.

After that, Li Zhi no longer forced himself, but fought all the way and fled to the edge of the universe. On the scene, he seemed to be being hunted down by the three quasi-emperors of the restricted area.

It even alarmed many powerful people along the way.

However, not everyone has the ability to intervene in the battle between quasi-emperors.

Those people were just guessing who was being hunted.

Half a month later, Li Zhi fled to a desolate area on the edge of the universe.

Suddenly he stopped running and sat on a rock only a hundred feet in size.

"Why don't you run away?"

A moment later, the three quasi-emperors caught up and looked down at Li Zhi from above.

"My three Taoist friends, you seemed very happy to beat me up?"

The "weakness" and scars on Li Zhi's body disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of worry on his face. Instead, he asked coldly.

"What is this kid doing again?" the quasi-emperor from Xianling asked the other two quasi-emperors.

During the pursuit for half a month, Li Zhi made them realize what it means to "not be able to fight, but to escape first".

Sometimes, Li Zhi's escape speed is even faster than the speed of the "Xing" secret.

"No matter what he does, we must not let him get away again this time. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to the master after we return." said the Quasi-Emperor from Taichu Ancient Mine.

I saw three quasi-emperors about to attack.

A smile appeared on Li Zhi's lips, and he said, "Today I will let you see what the true Immortal Emperor's method is."

"The Devil Summoning Scripture, Summon the Devil Immortal Ancient Kunpeng, Summon the Devil Kirin Ancient Emperor, Summon the Devil Changsheng Tianzun, Summon the Devil Ziwei Emperor, Summon the Devil Light and Dark Supreme, Summon the Devil..."

In an instant, nine ancient emperors whose aura was at the third level of quasi-emperor appeared around Li Zhi.

During this half month's "escape", Li Zhi was not just running away. His soul was secretly practicing the "Demon Summoning Sutra". Using the imperial laws in the flesh and blood fairy cocoon as a template, he successfully summoned eight combat bodies of the former imperial supremes who were at the same level as him.

It seems that the upper limit of "The Demon Summoning Sutra" is to summon nine combat bodies.

And with each additional combat dharma body, the time they can exist at the same time will be reduced by one-ninth.

The time they can exist at the same time is very similar to the time that the fighting form of the emperor of the same realm condensed in the heavenly tribulation when the holy body is undergoing the tribulation can exist.

"This is?"

"This is impossible!"

"How can you summon the fighting forms of the Ancient Emperor and the Heavenly Lord?"

The three quasi-emperors from the forbidden zone of life were all stunned when they saw the nine combat forms summoned by Li Zhi.

"Now isn't it time for you to experience what it feels like to be besieged?" Li Zhi said with a smile.

Then his mind moved, and the nine fighting images, like real young emperors of the third level of quasi-emperor, besieged the three quasi-emperors.

In less than the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the three quasi-emperors from the forbidden zone of life had their bodies shattered, their souls turned to ashes, and their bodies lay dead on the edge of the universe.

Afterwards, Li Zhi took away the spoils and the three corpses of quasi-emperors with extraordinary bloodlines, and left the edge of the universe.

At the moment when the three quasi-emperors were besieged and died.

The supreme beings in different life forbidden zones seemed to sense the auras of several supreme beings of the imperial way who were supposed to have died on the road to becoming immortals appearing in the universe.

Then, several supreme divine thoughts rose from Beidou’s life forbidden zone and looked directly towards the edge of the universe.

"Father, is that you?"

But they only saw Huo Qizi, the son of Qilin Ancient Emperor who had just arrived. At this moment, Huo Qizi was looking for any trace of Qilin Ancient Emperor on the battlefield.

Those forbidden zone supreme masters simply ignored Huo Qizi who had not yet become a quasi-emperor, and instead started communicating directly.

"Fellow Taoists, what do you think?"

"There is no aura of a long-lived Taoist here, but there is the aura of several Taoist friends who have passed away."

"He shouldn't be dead. Did the person in the ancient restricted area protect him?"

"The Taoist of Longevity is indeed mysterious. We are unable to deduce his past and future. But we are certain that the sword that killed Taoist Fellow Light and Dark was summoned by him."

"It seems that we have to secretly send someone to Ziwei to keep an eye on his dojo."

"The secret technique this person possesses can kill us instantly. We must not let this boy live."

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid that if you push him too far, he will directly release the mysterious altar that scares us all, and kill you along with him?"

"My fellow Taoists, it is better to take a long-term view and conduct a secret investigation when dealing with the Taoist Changshou. Before we figure out why the altar brought down a heavenly punishment that could instantly kill the Supreme Emperor, it is best not to test him again."

After a moment of silence, the Supreme Emperors in the major forbidden areas withdrew their divine thoughts.

Obviously, the mysterious methods mastered by Li Zhi made them feel fearful.

Since becoming the Supreme Emperor, they have never known that there is a divine punishment in the world that can kill the Supreme Emperor.

Especially the mysterious pool of laws that appeared in the heavenly calamity made them feel deeply powerless.

It seems that immortal artifacts such as the Desolate Tower and the Immortal Bell are just waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Law Pool.

Their intuition told them that even if all of them attacked the pool of laws at the same time, they would not be able to do anything to it.

Instead, they will be killed instantly by the sword energy emanating from the Law Pool.

At that moment, these powerful emperors who had long developed the attitude of being the only ones in the world felt powerless and were even unwilling to recall the details of the law pool.

It seemed that even if they were all given an additional 100,000 years of peak imperial life to grow, it would still not be enough to grow to the level that could shake the pool of laws.

The more powerful the cultivator is, the more they can feel that it is a truly supreme existence, which is simply not something that cultivators of their level can comprehend.

The fact that Li Zhi was able to summon things of this level made them extremely fearful.

Therefore, they always keep an eye on Li Zhi's whereabouts.

When Li Zhi appeared outside the ancient restricted area, he was discovered by the spies they left there. Then they followed the clues and found out that Li Zhi had placed the dojo on the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Then, there was a scene where the Quasi-Emperor of the three forbidden areas forcibly invited Li Zhi.

But the result of the invitation was not satisfactory.

Li Zhi himself didn't know that the Forbidden Zone Supreme was so wary of him that he didn't dare to act rashly.

If Li Zhi knew about this, he would probably be overjoyed.

This means that he doesn't have to hide from others like other geniuses in order to survive the final triple heavenly tribulation, for fear of being discovered.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi didn’t know about the “goodwill” of those forbidden zone supreme masters.

Otherwise he would have to give them a banquet.
