Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 469: Master Li VS Emperor Ye Tian

When the Emperor of Heaven travels, divine beasts open up the way, and divine light is the path. In an instant, they can cross the endless starry sky. They are truly able to run rampant in this vast universe.

However, Li Zhi's travel seemed ordinary and no different from other great sage-level cultivators. He was like a young tourist, going with the flow and going against the flow along the ancient trial road of the human race.

At this time, all the trial sites on the ancient road have been closed, but there are still many monks remaining in these giant starry cities.

Each ancient city is equivalent to a small world of life, which can breed a large number of powerful people. Moreover, they are located in the starry sky and are excellent transit points for cultivators from various domains to exchange what they have.

Although the trial grounds in the ancient city gates have been closed.

However, the restrictions that enclosed the trial field were useless in front of Li Zhi.

Traveling in reverse all the way, Li Zhi visited almost all the trial sites along the way, and finally appreciated the scenery that he missed last time.

In order to add to the fun of the tour, he even left different insights into the great Dao and scriptures for cultivation in different ancient trial sites.

As for the various creations that were nurtured in the trial field, they were of no use to Li Zhi.

He even personally engraved Dao patterns in many trial fields that could speed up the birth of natural treasures, allowing the creation of new fortunes to continue.

Ever since Ye Fan’s holy body was perfected, the ancient road of the human race has never suffered devastating damage again.

Over the years, the ancient road of the human race has been repaired many times, and each city gate has long since regained its former vitality and vigor. It is several times more prosperous than when Li Zhi first set foot on this strongest ancient trial road of the human race.

Li Zhi wandered around in the world, no one knew his identity and no one could remember what he looked like.

However, the news of his coming out of seclusion still spread from the 99th seclusion city of the human race.

As a result, the wall of gods and demons at the 99th level of the human race has become a new check-in location for the strong men of all races.

Not long after Li Zhi left, Ye Fan and others arrived at the 99th checkpoint of the ancient trial road of the human race.

However, in order to avoid trouble, they did not show up in the city, but just looked at the wall of gods and demons from afar outside the area.

It is ineffective against Quasi-Emperor, but it can help the Great Sage hone the strongest foundation of the Great Dao.

"Uncle Duan, after Taoist Li came out of retreat, he recast the 99th level of the human race. Are your worries unnecessary?" Looking at the cultivators of various races gathered in front of the wall of gods and demons, Ye Tong asked with some confusion.

According to what Duan De told them, if Li Zhi fell into darkness, he would definitely not remember anything about the past, and there was even a high probability that he would become a monster that destroyed the world.

But now it seems that Li Zhi actually showed up and recast the city that he built with his own hands, and left the emperor's formation pattern to protect the city. It doesn't seem like his soul has been replaced and his mind has been completely reversed.

"I hope he is still sane." But Duan De's worries did not diminish at all.

"Master Duan, are the dark creatures really that scary?" Huo Lin'er, who came with him, asked. She did not have any aversion to Li Zhi, and even felt that she could obtain the true method of becoming an emperor from Li Zhi.

"The horror of the creatures of darkness is far beyond your imagination. Once the darkness spreads, all the creatures in this universe will die. And there is something even more terrifying. Once we fall into darkness, our souls will dissipate in an instant, and then a completely new soul with completely different cognition will be born in the flesh. At that time, all the creatures in the world will become descendants of darkness."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Duan De had to tell some dark truths, which were also all the information about darkness he got from the reincarnation seal in his first life.

As for the reasons that led to the destruction of all the heavens and worlds and the collapse of the fairyland, Duan De had no idea.

In fact, he did not participate in the decisive battle with the dark army that year.

At that time, he was not strong enough and was not even qualified to participate in the war.

The information Duan De knew was only about the situation that occurred in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths when the alien land used darkness as a vanguard to invade the primitive ancient world.

Although he did not know the true origin of the dark creatures, his instinct told him that the harm posed by the dark creatures was far greater than that posed by the supreme beings in the forbidden area.

"Ye Fan, since Li Zhi has ended his retreat, perhaps you can find his whereabouts." Then Duan De turned to Ye Fan and asked.

Now, among this group of people, Ye Fan is the only one who is at the same level as Li Zhi.

Everyone else is far behind.

"let me try."

Ye Fan didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to find Li Zhi's whereabouts.

Li Zhi, whose Tao Seed is perfected in his body, is now able to completely isolate all his Qi from the outside universe.

Its ability to hide itself is even stronger than those in life restricted areas.

Even though Ye Fan is already the Emperor of Heaven and can shatter the void with a single thought, he still cannot easily find Li Zhi's whereabouts.

Especially when Li Zhi is determined to hide himself, it will be even more difficult to be discovered.

At this time, Li Zhi, who was in the first city of the starry sky on the ancient human trial road, did not know that Duan De had already gathered a large number of powerful people to look for him.

Instead, after sensing Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor's divine thoughts that were scanning the entire universe, Li Zhi stopped, looked up at the sky, and muttered, "What is Ye Fan looking for? Is he looking for the whereabouts of Shangcang and the Taichu Ancient Mine?"

Back then, the Supreme Being of Heaven did not take advantage of Ye Fan's serious injury during his tribulation to launch a sneak attack on him, which made Li Zhi feel somewhat surprised.

Some even felt that the supreme masters of the forbidden area finally grew their brains and realized that they could not confront Ye Fan head-on.

They used the same method that the underworld used to avoid being hunted down by the Wu Shi Emperor and directly hid the entire forbidden area. They would not come out again until Ye Fan’s lifespan was exhausted and he passed away.

However, Li Zhi did not intend to participate in Ye Fan's attack on the life forbidden zone.

Strictly speaking, he has no grudges against the Forbidden Zone of Life.

The hatred from those days was all resolved after the second path to immortality was opened, with the death of Linghuang and others.

Moreover, Li Zhi did not believe that the Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone of Life would have the ability to cause chaos in the future. After he passed on the perfected method of cultivating the secret realm of the human body, there would no longer be any Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone in the world.

If by then, there are still people who dare to lurk in the forbidden zone of life, they will only become lambs to be slaughtered.

Of course, there is a reason why those forbidden zone supreme beings like to make trouble for Ye Fan.

Back then, Ye Fan sent his wife and daughter into the fairyland, which really broke the defenses of many supreme beings and made them hate him to the core.

After leaving the first city of the ancient human road, Li Zhi walked towards the Ziwei Ancient Star.

I left the temple for over a hundred years, and I don’t know what has happened to it now.

Maybe everyone is waiting for him to return to the dojo.

However, when passing by an ancient life star along the way, Li Zhi suddenly stopped and waved his hand to capture some extremely evil monks from the star.

Afterwards, Li Zhi came to a desolate and deserted star region.

He injected the drop of refined blood essence into the body of a cultivator.

Unfortunately, the cultivator could not withstand the murderous aura in Li Zhi's blood and instantly turned into a ball of blood mist.

Li Zhi slapped his head and thought, "How could I forget such an important thing?"

Then he refined all the murderous intent in that drop of blood and the fragments of his great will, leaving only pure life force and aura of darkness.

Then, he injected that drop of blood into the body of another monk, and that monk showed signs of super evolution on the spot. After devouring the other monks, he exploded into a pile of waste.

The dark matter contained in that drop of essence blood seemed to have increased a lot, and it directly turned into a black light, intending to fly towards the nearby life star.

However, with Li Zhi watching, how could he allow it to act out of control?

Li Zhi grabbed it in his hand instantly, then released the true fire of the Great Dao and began to burn the drop of true blood that had turned black.

"Pure dark aura has appeared. Set up the formation immediately to trap it. Never let it leak out." Just as Li Zhi was burning that drop of dark true blood, Duan De, who had just reached the first level of the human race, suddenly sensed the dark aura and immediately shouted to the people around him who were in charge of the killing formation.

Ye Fan also felt the dark aura at the same time, and his intuition told him that it was an extremely evil energy.

The powerful men in charge of the Lingbao killing formation immediately formed groups of three and rushed forward with four killing swords.

Ye Fan personally took charge of the spiritual treasure formation diagram and, with the help of four killing swords, directly sealed off the starry sky.

The killing formation was already powerful, with twelve quasi-emperors above the ninth level working hard to activate the formation, as well as Ye Fan's great power as the Emperor of Heaven. Even if a true immortal came, he would probably be killed on the spot.

This legendary killing formation, which was stained with immortal blood, instantly released its supreme power to kill gods and immortals, enveloping Li Zhi.

"Okay, now the dark creatures can't escape even if they have wings." Duan De shouted when he saw this.

Then he said to those who were controlling the killing array: "Don't attack yet. Let me confirm whether it is Li Zhi first."

When Li Zhi saw that the Lingbao killing formation surrounded him in an instant, he shouted "Fuck" with a look of confusion on his face.

What's going on? Why are we suddenly attacked?

And it was an attack from heaven.

But Li Zhi was not panicked. In today's universe, there was nothing that could make him panic.

Li Zhi knew that after the destruction of Shenxu and Xianling, the Lingbao Killing Array fell into Ye Fan's hands.

However, seeing that the killing array surrounded him but did not activate immediately, Li Zhi ignored them and continued to smelt the dark power in his hands.

Dealing with the dark true blood was much more difficult than he had imagined, even though this drop of true blood was extracted from his body.

It is not easy to eliminate it using ordinary means.

When the last trace of dark power was wiped out by him, Li Zhi looked at this famous killing array with great interest. In the red sky and earth, there seemed to be a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the fall of immortals.

"The dark aura is gone." After the dark aura was completely eliminated, Ye Fan, who was controlling the formation, also felt it and was slightly surprised.

Then he walked into the formation, came directly in front of Li Zhi, and asked, "Li Zhi, did you burn away the dark aura?"

He had already seen the scene where Li Zhi used the Dao fire to burn away the dark aura.

"Are you here for that dark aura?" Li Zhi asked instead of being angry.

"Yes, Duan De gathered everyone to come and destroy the darkness. To prevent the power of darkness from harming the entire universe." Ye Fan explained.

"You are late. That drop of dark blood has been completely destroyed by me. You can call it a day and go home." Li Zhi said with a smile.

At this moment, Duan De and others also entered the formation.

"Li Zhi, are you okay?" Seeing that there was no trace of dark aura on Li Zhi, Duan De asked hurriedly.

"What can happen to me? Are you mobilizing so many troops just for that drop of dark blood?" Li Zhi said.

"Do you really have dark blood in your hands?" Duan De's expression suddenly became serious.

Li Zhi was quite surprised to see half of the geniuses in the universe following Duan De. He thought to himself, "As expected of someone who has experienced a true dark invasion, his reaction speed is incredible." Then, Li Zhi took out the purple jade divine coffin and showed them the supreme treasure body that had achieved super evolution. He said, "I extracted that drop of dark true blood from this body. After the experiment, it has been consumed."

"This is a body at the level of a Heavenly Emperor. It has a similar aura to the body my father had when he became a war immortal." The Holy Prince commented after seeing the body.

Afterwards, Duan De talked to Li Zhi about some things, and finally confirmed that Li Zhi had not fallen into darkness. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then advised: "You should destroy this body as soon as possible. Don't blindly study it with your high level of Taoism. The consequences of the black disaster are endless, and it is not something that cultivators in the human realm can completely solve."

"Why not use this spiritual treasure killing formation to destroy him." Black Emperor also spoke at this time.

But Li Zhi shook his head and said, "This body is still worth studying, so I won't destroy it for now. But now that the Lingbao Killing Formation has been set up, it would be a bit unreasonable not to use its divine power. I also want to try to see if I can break this supreme killing formation that is said to be able to kill a peak emperor in the hands of the great emperor with my own strength."

Just when the people in the Heavenly Court who were in charge of the killing formation were hesitating whether to remove the killing formation immediately, Huo Lin'er suddenly joined in the fun and said, "Master Changshou, you are willing to personally demonstrate the Tao and the Dharma to us. How can we spoil the fun? I will be the one in charge of the killing formation."

"In that case, just go all out." Seeing this, Ye Fan said to Ye Tong and others who were in charge of the killing formation. He also wanted to see Li Zhi's strength at this moment.

Ye Tong and Yang Xi smiled and said to Li Zhi almost at the same time: "Uncle Li, please go easy on us later."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Afterwards, Ye Fan and others walked out of the formation and watched the battle outside.

Behind the four killing swords hanging in different positions stood four powerful men above the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

Behind the formation diagram stood eight peerless geniuses who were above the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

Ye Fan did not intervene in this battle.

"kill!"

Following an order, the four killing swords burst out almost at the same time. The dark red swords exuded a terrible murderous aura, which would terrify the Emperor's Supreme Being even when he saw it.

The sky and earth in the formation were scarlet, the smell of blood was overwhelming, the murderous intent was deep in the bones, and the tragic atmosphere seemed to have arrived at a battlefield of destruction.

A vague mark appeared on each killing sword, recording the horrific images of slaughtering gods and immortals, which made people shudder.

This is the formation diagram and four killing swords left behind by Lingbao Tianzun from the mythological era. They can kill immortals and emperors and are invincible. They are the most terrifying weapons in the world, indestructible. They have been passed down to this day, and the number of souls killed by their swords is simply incalculable.

The Tianzun Killing Formation formed a space of its own. Li Zhi, who was trapped in it, endured the most terrifying killing power in the world.

Even the lethality of the sword energy can rival the killing power of the immortal laws summoned after the elixir of immortality above all else is revived.

Although the formation is not presided over by the four supreme emperors.

However, more than twenty of the world's top geniuses jointly controlled the formation, which was no weaker than the four supreme emperors who presided over the formation.

Unfortunately, the battle in the formation lasted for less than an incense stick of time before it ended.

Four golden lights broke through the confinement of the formation and knocked the four killing swords out of the formation.

Then, the four golden lights that broke through the formation directly turned into four huge golden sticks, suppressing the Lingbao formation diagram, and instantly, the formation diagram stopped working.

"Such a terrifying fighting power?"

Outside the formation, everyone watching the battle was shocked. Li Zhi was many times more powerful than they had imagined.

Even Ye Fan looked thoughtful.

"It seems that Li Zhi's strength has grown to a level that only the Emperor of Heaven can defeat." Duan De, who was watching the battle, praised, but his eyes kept staring at Li Zhi's thigh, as if he wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.

Then, Li Zhi, whose body was covered by the nine-colored divine ring, walked out of the killing array unharmed.

However, his entire body exuded a terrifying aura of a guillotine that beheaded immortals and killed gods, making people feel as if their souls were about to be shattered.

"Congratulations, you have successfully broken through Lingbao Tianzun's killing formation." At this moment, Ye Fan spoke to block the murderous aura emanating from Li Zhi.

Then the nine-colored divine ring on Li Zhi's body disappeared, and he became ordinary again. He smiled and said to everyone: "The Lingbao Killing Formation is well-deserved of its reputation. If an ordinary emperor falls into it, he will only be bloodied."

"Master Li, how did you do it?" At this moment, the people who were knocked away came back one after another and asked Li Zhi.

"Everyone is here, why don't you come to my temple and have a drink? I have something to spread, you can listen."

Seeing so many geniuses eager to know the secret of his power, Li Zhi took advantage of the situation and planned to spread the method of cultivating the secret realm of the human body's Tao Seed.

If you want to become the founder of Taoism, how can you do that without preaching the Tao to all living beings?

Whether it is the Hongjun ancestor of the prehistoric world or the Dao ancestor of this world, after creating the law, they must spread it to the outside world.

The more tenacious the vitality of the created method, the stronger the luck that the Taoist can gather.

Although Li Zhi is not the creator of the Human Body Secret Realm Law, as a pioneer, he can also obtain a huge amount of luck blessings, which will make his future practice smoother.

No one refused Li Zhi's invitation.

After all, Li Zhi is the only person besides Ye Fan who can become the emperor by stepping on the Great Emperor's Seal and the Ten Thousand Daos of Pressure.

They cannot replicate Ye Fan's experience and unreasonable fighting power, so is there a chance to replicate Li Zhi's experience?
With great anticipation, everyone followed Li Zhi to the Supreme Dojo.

Emperor Ming personally came out to welcome the geniuses.

However, none of them knew the identity of Emperor Ming.

However, he was particularly sensitive to the aura of supreme authority that emanated from Emperor Ming.

Only Ye Fan guessed the true identity of Emperor Ming, but he had no intention of exposing his past.

Afterwards, Li Zhi taught these geniuses in the Taoist temple the Dao Seed Nurturing Chapter of the Human Body Secret Realm Method that he had created.

After listening to Li Zhi's sermon, everyone suddenly understood and were eager to try it out.

They are all unrivaled geniuses, who would really be willing to be inferior to others?

Now, Li Zhi's method can be said to have made up for the shortcomings in their cultivation of Taoism from the alternative level of enlightenment to the level of the perfect emperor.

It can be said that in the future they will no longer be the awkward alternative enlightened ones who can only challenge the Supreme in the Forbidden Zone, but real enlightened ones who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Wuque Emperor.

This gain can be said to be a destiny-changing gain.

It can be said that throughout the ages, the situation in which one person achieves enlightenment, all other ways suppress him, and all living beings bow down to him has changed.

The position of the Great Emperor is no longer a symbol of enlightenment.

The future emperor will no longer be the only one in the world.

“Thank you for preaching.”

Finally, many geniuses stood up almost in unison to thank Li Zhi.

"There is no need to do this, fellow Taoists. I am just trying to do my best." Li Zhi said.

When the preaching conference, which lasted only seven days, was over, many geniuses immediately returned to their respective temples and began a new round of hard training.

However, Li Zhi and Ye Fan quietly came to the mythical battlefield.

Although the two had discussed the Dao several times before, they had never engaged in a real battle.

A few days later, terrifying battle fluctuations were heard from the mythical battlefield.

Even the most enlightened emperor of the time, Emperor Jinwu, could not see clearly what was happening on the battlefield.

The great way was destroyed, the laws became void, and almost everything was wiped out by the horrific aftermath of the battle.

When the smoke clears, everything returns to calm.

Some people bravely entered the mythical battlefield, but after entering, they found that there was no trace of the mythical battlefield there. There was nothing there, and it almost became a cosmic vacuum zone.

Everything ceased to exist, all laws disappeared, and everything was in chaos. It was like arriving in a ruined apocalyptic universe.

"Was it Master Li and Emperor Ye Tian who were fighting before?"

"I'm afraid that apart from those two, there is no third person who possesses such tremendous destructive power."

"Who of them won this battle?"

"I don't know. Maybe we can go to the Heavenly Palace or the Supreme Dojo to ask."

"Forget it. I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

Some people felt a chill down their spine when they looked at the battlefield where only chaotic laws remained.

Everyone knows that the outcome of a victory or defeat between strong people of that level will have a huge impact and will not be easily revealed to the outside world.

Back then, the Golden Crow Emperor was defeated by Ye Fan, who had not yet become an emperor, and this established the supreme reputation of Emperor Ye Tian.

Now, Li Zhi and Ye Fan had a earth-shaking battle in the mythological battlefield. After the result came out, the impact was no less than the battle between the Golden Crow Emperor and Ye Fan back then.

However, apart from Li Zhi and Ye Fan, no one else knew the outcome of the battle.

Perhaps, one day in the future, the results of the battle on the battlefield will be announced to the public.

Unfortunately, the result of this battle was tacitly not announced to the public by both of them.

Time passes like running water, and in the blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed.

The golden age has also come to an end.

Those who should lie dormant have already sealed themselves off, and those who should have passed away have already done so.

Even many geniuses who grew up in that era are getting old one by one.

But Li Zhi is as young as he was six thousand years ago.

Time seemed to have left no trace on him.

However, his Taoism has grown to a level that outsiders cannot fathom.

Unfortunately, it was now hundreds of times more difficult to meet him than before.

In the past three thousand years, only a handful of people have seen Li Zhi.

It was not until this day that Emperor Ming, who lived in the Supreme Taoist Temple, asked Li Zhi for advice that he walked down from the Immortal Mountain of Longevity where he had sat for three thousand years.
