Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 455: Hundred Years of Pregnancy

"boom!"

Outside the Ziwei Territory, the void suddenly trembled, and nine primordial immortal lights were born from the depths of the void at the same time.

The immortal light was mixed with five-colored divine clouds, flowing with the essence of chaos, and containing the Eight Desolate Divine Thunder, transforming into the most terrifying calamity of heaven and earth in the world, and smashing down towards the ancient Ziwei Star.

In an instant, countless creatures felt the world-destroying aura coming from outside the domain, and all of them looked up at the starry sky in horror.

There were even quite a few monks who were practicing and their magic power suddenly went out of control, causing them to suffer internal injuries.

"Here they come again. Who on earth has touched the forbidden area again and provoked heavenly punishment? How can we practice in peace?"

Countless monks started cursing.

This is not the first time.

Over the past hundred years, this phenomenon has occurred almost every once in a while.

It seriously affected people's enlightenment and practice.

Then, the Ziwei cultivators saw nine rays of divine light of heavenly punishment that were comparable to the divine calamity of a great emperor appear in the outer space.

However, when the nine primordial immortal lights approached the Ziwei Ancient Star, they were swallowed up by a huge cauldron condensed by the power of the laws of the Tao.

Afterwards, the big cauldron turned into a pool of heavenly punishment thunder, which continued to evolve outside the domain in order to dissipate the influence of the light of heavenly punishment on the Ziwei Ancient Star.

This scene, however, did not shock the cultivators on the Ziwei Ancient Star. They were actually quite numb after watching it.

With more experiences, even the most shocking scenes will become commonplace.

Even this terrifying divine light of heavenly punishment that was powerful enough to turn a quasi-emperor into ashes was still not enough to shock them.

Over the past hundred years, any cultivator with some Taoist skills has seen this scene more than once.

Some people even recorded every scene of heavenly punishment, using it as a way to show off to others.

If you count carefully, this is the ninth time that divine punishment has appeared outside the domain, which is comparable to the heavenly calamity of the great emperor.

On average, this happens once every ten years.

When the first divine punishment fairy light appeared, all living beings were terrified, and countless powerful people went down the mountain to look for the source that triggered such a terrifying divine punishment.

There are even many major sects that are considering whether they should move away from the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Finally, it was the disciples of the Supreme Daoist Temple who came forward to explain the reasons to all living beings.

This means that someone is practicing great supernatural powers, and the Immortal Changshou will protect the Ziwei Ancient Star and allow them to practice with peace of mind, thus calming people's fears.

Afterwards, this level of heavenly punishment would come almost every few or dozens of years, and the number of primordial immortal lights that came each time ranged from one to nine.

However, every time the heavenly punishment appeared, Li Zhi would take action to block the power of the heavenly punishment outside the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Just when everyone thought that this time the heavenly punishment would be the same as the previous times, it would be absorbed into the furnace of the Great Dao by Li Zhi's magical power and would be melted away.

However, when the furnace that melted the power of heavenly punishment was extinguished, a sea of ​​thunder and clouds with divine thunder rolling appeared outside the Ziwei Territory.

"The Great Emperor's Tribulation!"

When the calamity cloud, which was only a hundred acres in size, appeared, countless cultivators felt their souls begin to tremble.

The aura emanating from the calamity cloud is extremely similar to the aura of punishment that appeared when the Golden Crow Emperor was undergoing the calamity.

"Master, how could there be a great emperor calamity?"

In Eastern Shenzhou, on Jiuyang Mountain, Jin Ming looked at the outer space with a worried look on his face, and was very confused about the occurrence of the great emperor calamity.

In the past, Li Zhi only needed to resolve the power of heavenly punishment and there would be a period of peace, but this time the situation seemed unprecedented.

"Ming'er, take this Xuanwu seal. Protect the safety of the Taoist temple for my master. I'm afraid I have to go to the sea of ​​​​calamity myself." Li Zhi handed a seal made of the great laws left by the ancient Xuanwu emperor to Jin Ming, with an extremely cautious look in his eyes.

"Master, please be careful. I will take good care of the temple." Jin Ming instructed after taking the seal.

Then Li Zhi waved his hand and gathered hundreds of young men from all over the Ziwei Ancient Star into his hands, and took them all into his own Lunhai Secret Realm. Then he took a step forward and headed towards the calamity cloud outside the domain.

"Starry formation in Zhoutian, wake up!"

Li Zhi shouted loudly and instantly unfolded the Wheel Sea Strange Phenomenon Zhoutian Star Map. He used the power of the peerless formation to temporarily imprison the calamity cloud outside the sky, and then dragged the calamity cloud and flew rapidly towards the edge of the universe.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

Along the way, the void exploded, myriad things trembled, and rays of flying fairy light transformed from the power of heaven and earth struck towards Li Zhi.

It was as if the whole world was blocking his way.

"Chirp!"

Even in the void, golden crows emitting the power to burn the sky and boil the sea appeared and kept killing towards Li Zhi. Those golden crows were all transformed from the imperial laws of the Golden Crow Emperor between heaven and earth, as if the Golden Crow Emperor was attacking him.

"when!"

Along the way, the Golden Crow Emperor Bell, which was interwoven with the laws of heaven and earth, rang above Li Zhi's head, as if to shake apart his soul.

On the distant Huosang Star, Emperor Jinwu seemed to sense something and walked out of the imperial palace in an instant.

The Golden Crow Emperor stood in the small square in front of the palace, looking seriously at Li Zhi who was running rapidly in the universe under various forces of heavenly punishment.

"Your Majesty." The strong men of the Jinwu clan who were guarding outside the imperial palace immediately saluted the Jinwu Emperor, thinking that something big was happening.

"Father, is there any unusual movement among the people in Heaven?" Soon, the only remaining prince of Emperor Jinwu appeared beside him and asked anxiously.

“It’s not Heaven.” The Golden Crow Emperor shook his head slightly, and then the scene of Li Zhi transcending the tribulation at the edge of the universe was reflected in his eyes.

Although it is not as vast as the great calamity he went through back then, and even the scope of the impact of the heavenly calamity is very limited, the intensity of the thunder punishment is almost exactly the same as the great calamity he went through back then.

Even with the blessing of the great Dao of this contemporary emperor, the power of each divine thunder of heavenly punishment exceeds the power of the divine thunder of heavenly punishment during the great calamity he had gone through in the past.

Soon, the aura of shocking heavenly punishment appeared at the edge of the universe, and was captured by one alternative enlightened being after another, or the peerless powerful men at the eighth or ninth level of the quasi-emperor level.

"This is... someone is going through the Great Emperor Tribulation in the wilderness of the universe? But the scale of this Great Emperor Tribulation is too small."

After seeing the coverage of the natural disaster at the edge of the universe, many peerless powerful people couldn't help but feel absurd.

In the Heavenly Palace, Xiaosong and others also came to the Immortal Mountain to ask Ye Fan about this matter.

"Master, a strange catastrophe suddenly appeared in the edge of the universe. Do you know who caused it?" Xiaosong asked Ye Fan.

Standing on the Immortal Mountain, immortal light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and then he saw through the scene in the depths of the heavenly tribulation obscured by the thick chaotic energy, and directly reflected the scene of Li Zhi resisting the emperor's thunder tribulation in the sea of ​​​​tribulation.

"It's your uncle Li Zhi who is undergoing the tribulation." Ye Fan was also very curious. What kind of secret method was Li Zhi practicing that he could actually bring about a heavenly punishment at the level of a great emperor's tribulation and even be targeted by the great Dao laws of the Golden Crow Emperor.

"Is Master Li trying to become an emperor?" Xiaosong asked curiously.

"No." Ye Fan simply shook his head. He did not see any aura of becoming an emperor from Li Zhi. He was just simply resisting the heavenly punishment of the emperor level.

Soon, Ye Fan had a familiar feeling, as if it was extremely similar to the heavenly punishment that appeared when he asked Gu Lin and Gu Fei, brother and sister, to predict the secret of Feixian Star's path to immortality.

However, although the heavenly punishment caused by the divination of becoming an immortal was also a divine punishment at the level of a great emperor, it only lasted for one strike and was quickly resolved by him.

But now, the emperor-level divine punishment brought about by Li Zhi seemed endless, as if it would not stop until he was struck to death.

What on earth did he do to anger God and man to bring about such a horrible punishment from heaven?

This emperor-level divine punishment not only attracted the attention of the Golden Crow Emperor of the Demon Court and Ye Fan of the Heaven Court, but even the supreme beings in the major life forbidden areas of Beidou were alarmed. They all extended their divine thoughts to observe the divine punishment caused by Li Zhi.

At the same time, they also began to deduce the secrets and look for answers.

Soon, a supreme being saw the shocking results from the secrets of heaven.

"God's punishment has passed, and immortality has appeared."

"How is this possible? Could it be that the longevity Taoist has the opportunity for people to achieve immortality in this mortal world?" The Supreme of the Forbidden Zone said in disbelief.

"Is there any Taoist friend willing to come out of the world and go with me to visit the Taoist of Longevity?" Soon, the Supreme Being in the God Ruins asked the Supreme Beings in other life restricted areas. "Grandma, I am willing to come out of the world and go with you to visit the Taoist of Longevity." The voice of the Immortal Grandma suddenly came from the Immortal Mausoleum.

"This emperor is also willing to go out into the world." A supreme divine thought also came from the Taichu Ancient Mine.

“This emperor also wants to see what exactly the chance of longevity in the mortal world holds for the Taoist Changshou.” The voice of the ancient emperor Dapeng came from the heavens.

"My fellow Taoists, you are in such a hurry to come into the world. Aren't you afraid that the old Golden Crow and the Holy Body will join forces to rob your home?" At this moment, another Supreme Being spoke, obviously feeling terrified that Ye Fan had destroyed two major life forbidden areas in succession.

"Fellow Daoist, you are worried that the Holy Body will destroy the forbidden area, but I am not worried. Rather than lingering here and losing hope of becoming an immortal, it is better to go out into the world and fight to your heart's content. Perhaps the longevity Taoist really has the chance of longevity as revealed by the heavens." said the ancient emperor Dapeng in the forbidden area of ​​​​the heavens.

“This Divine Ruins is nothing but a place that can withstand the aura of people like us. If he wants it, let him take it. This emperor has watched the ages and was born for the Tao, so he doesn’t value these external things.” The Supreme in the Divine Ruins said very indifferently, as if he would not feel sorry if the Divine Ruins were taken away by someone.

When the road to becoming an immortal was opened, two supreme beings were born in the Divine Ruins, but both of them died on the road to becoming an immortal.

Now he is the only supreme emperor left in Shenxu.

If Ye Fan knew the true situation inside the Divine Ruins at this moment, he would probably not have any hesitation and would directly descend to the Divine Ruins and flatten the place.

Over the years, the only remaining Supreme Being of Shenxu felt great fear in his heart, as if he had seen the scene of the Holy Body about to descend to Shenxu.

By then, once the Holy Body descends, he will certainly be unable to cope with it alone, so it is better for him to come out and give it a try at this time.

Now that he saw the chance of longevity in Li Zhi, he was even more determined.

Although the supreme beings in various life forbidden zones have been secretly collecting Lingbao Tianzun's formation diagrams and killing swords in recent years, they are not completely sure whether they can kill the Holy Body Ye Fan.

Because in today's world, there is not only one Great Saint Body, there is also the Golden Crow Emperor who has already achieved enlightenment, and there is also Li Zhi, an alternative existence that even they cannot understand how he has truly stood on the same level as them.

As former ancient emperors and great kings, they know better than anyone else the gap between alternative enlightened people and great kings.

Being able to challenge the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone is already a great compliment to some alternative enlightened ones.

In fact, most of the alternative enlightened ones cannot challenge the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

As powerful as Ning Fei, the first general under the Immortal Emperor, and Chuan Ying, the first general of the Ancient Heaven, as strong men among the alternative enlightened ones, none of them had accomplished a feat similar to Ye Fan's, directly killing the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

Although Chuan Ying, the first general of heaven, fought to the death with the supreme ruler of the underworld, the supreme ruler of the underworld did not die on the spot, but he died in battle.

As for Ning Fei, the first general under the Immortal Emperor, he died directly at the hands of the Supreme in the Forbidden Zone.

The gap between the alternative enlightened one and the forbidden zone supreme is not as small as people imagine.

Moreover, for the Forbidden Zone Supreme who has fallen to the Imperial Dao Realm, the combat power sometimes differs by several times before and after the ultimate sublimation.

This is their combat power after they are old and weak, which is far less than their peak period.

The real reality is that there is a huge gap of more than ten times in combat power between the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone who is about to die and can only fight to the death, and the Ancient Emperor who is in his prime.

When masters fight, a slight difference in their skills can often determine the winner.

What's more, when faced with a gap of several times, there is no possibility of a cross-level challenge.

This is also the real reason why the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone can overlook the eternity.

Apart from Ye Fan, there is almost no case that can prove that an alternative enlightened person can head-on kill a former imperial powerful person.

Ye Fan's unreasonable fighting power cannot be replicated by others, not even another great saint body.

Just as those forbidden zone supreme beings were discussing that they would collectively come out to visit Li Zhi after he had passed the divine punishment,
The emperor-level divine thunder of heavenly punishment brought about by Li Zhi showed no signs of ending.

One day, two days, three days...

One month, two months, three months...

This divine punishment was not large in scale but extremely powerful. It lasted for nine years in the desolate part of the universe before it officially came to an end.

When the divine punishment dissipated, that area at the edge of the universe became a true ruin, where all laws no longer existed, the order of time and space was in chaos, and all kinds of death and evil spirits filled the air.

The bloody smell floating in the air was extremely thick, as if one had arrived at an ancient battlefield where hundreds of supreme emperors were buried.

All the supreme beings in the major forbidden areas of Beidou fell silent.

They could not sense any sign of Li Zhi being alive in that area.

"The Taoist of Longevity is dead?"

There was even a Forbidden Zone Supreme who sent his incarnation directly to the edge of the universe to search for Li Zhi's whereabouts.

"Master Li Zhi died just like that?"

Inside the Heavenly Palace, Xiaosong and the others were also surprised when they saw that the edge of the universe seemed to have turned into the cemetery of the Supreme.

Ye Fan also frowned. Even though he used the Yuantian Immortal Pupil to observe the area, he still did not see any signs that could prove that Li Zhi was still alive.

Inside the Demon Court, Emperor Jinwu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zhi's breath disappear. Even he might not be able to hold out for nine years under the emperor-level divine punishment.

"Father, did that longevity Taoist just die like that?" The son of Emperor Jinwu asked in surprise.

"He's dead. Dead as hell." Although the emperor of the time, Emperor Jinwu could not catch any trace of Li Zhi's breath between heaven and earth.

"Father, I want to go to the ancient star Ziwei. It is said that there is the Xuanwu elixir in the Supreme Taoist Temple, and there is also the Fusang sacred tree in the North Sea of ​​the ancient star Ziwei. As the great emperor of the world, you cannot be without the elixir of immortality. In the heavenly court today, there are the three kinds of elixirs: the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, the unicorn elixir, and the ancient Bodhi tree. But in my demon court, there is not even a single elixir of immortality. I am willing to go to Ziwei to retrieve the elixir of immortality for my father." Prince Jinwu said eagerly.

"Carry your father's imperial bell with you."

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Jinwu agreed to Prince Jinwu's suggestion and gave his ultimate imperial weapon to Prince Jinwu for protection.

As the emperor of the time, not only was his limelight stolen by Ye Fan of the Heavenly Court, but he didn't even have a single elixir of immortality. This was undoubtedly an unpleasant thing.

Although he lived a second life, this life was lived through the Nirvana method, not a second life by taking the elixir of immortality. Therefore, if he could take the elixir of immortality in the later years of this life, he could live another life.

Otherwise, during his lifetime, he could only watch as the Heavenly Court finally dominated the world and completely wiped out the glory of him as the great emperor.

Originally, the lifespan of a Great Saint Body was not much less than that of a Great Emperor. Now Ye Fan had the elixir of immortality in his hand, so he could live another life.

But if he did not have the elixir of immortality in his hand, he would have only one life to die. Even if his great path was scattered, Ye Fan, the great saint, might still be alive and able to protect his disciples in achieving enlightenment and becoming emperors.

This is a situation that Emperor Jinwu does not want to see.

If that situation really happened, he, the great emperor who achieved enlightenment during the Golden Age, would undoubtedly become the most powerful background figure in history.

Therefore, deep in the heart of Emperor Jinwu, his desire for the elixir of immortality is much greater than people imagine.

It’s just that he didn’t have the chance to get the elixir of immortality before. Now that Li Zhi is dead, his chance has come.

As for whether there was any counter-force left by Li Zhi in the Supreme Dojo, he was not sure, but he was confident that the emperor was invincible in the world, and even if there was a counter-force, it would not be able to do anything to his Supreme Emperor Soldiers.

Letting Prince Jinwu go to Ziwei with the ultimate imperial soldiers is almost equivalent to him going there in person. Even if Li Zhi's disciples have another ultimate weapon in their hands, they cannot do anything to his prince.

As the emperor of the time, he can maximize the power of extreme weapons.

Even after hundreds of years of practice, Li Zhi's disciple Jin Ming's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor and is about to break through to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, but he is still not taken seriously by Emperor Jinwu.

As the emperor of the time, he had absolute confidence that he was invincible before he was defeated by Ye Fan head-on.

Just as Prince Jinwu took the Emperor Bell and left Huosang Star for Ziwei Ancient Star.

Ye Tong and Yang Xi, a pair of fellow apprentices from the Heavenly Palace, also came to the Ziwei Ancient Star to visit Jin Ming and Li Xianer, and to inquire about Li Zhi's situation.

Although everyone thought that Li Zhi had died in the heavenly punishment that lasted for nine years, they did not believe it.

They thought that Li Zhi was just hiding from the world because he was seriously injured.

After all, apart from their master Ye Fan, Li Zhi is the mysterious existence that they cannot understand the most.

Unfortunately, they are going to be disappointed.

At this moment, there was no trace of the Supreme Daoist Temple on the Ziwei Ancient Star, not to mention Jin Ming and Li Xianer.

In the third month of Li Zhi's tribulation, the Supreme Daoist Temple disappeared silently from the Ziwei Ancient Star.

No one knows the true whereabouts of that small world of the Taoist temple which is almost a world of its own.
