Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 551: Battle of the Great Scarlet Sky

In the desolate Great Scarlet Sky, the majestic fortress built with immortal bones has collapsed. Black air is surging, tearing the sky apart, emitting terrifying waves.

The immortals from the foreign land took action, and hundreds of millions of lives died in one day. The place was filled with shadows and ghostly auras, turning it into a hell on earth.

On the other side of the Nine Heavens, warships came through the air, with a determination to die, to stop the foreign army.

The fighting between the armies lasted only a short while. After Meng Tianzheng, the great elder of the Heavenly God Academy, used his magic weapon and had a brief battle with the immortal on the opposite side, both sides withdrew from the fight.

Afterwards, the atmosphere at the border became extremely tense, and it seemed that a war between the two worlds could break out at any time.

"Is the foreign army about to cross the border?"

Inside the Original Imperial City, a group of children saw the battle between the Nine Heavens monks and the foreign army through the images projected by Li Zhi, and asked Li Zhi one after another.

"They can't come over now." Li Zhi said to the children.

The two worlds have not yet merged, and the original imperial city has not been destroyed. It is extremely difficult for the foreign armies to cross the border, and they will be suppressed by the power of heaven and earth.

The brutal war did not frighten these children who grew up in the imperial city. Instead, they all showed high morale and seemed to want to join the war.

"They are so weak, can they protect the border?"

After watching the battle in the Great Scarlet Sky for a while, the children all looked puzzled.

The original imperial city faces attacks from foreign lands all year round. Although the children's cultivation is insufficient, their knowledge is extraordinary and they have long developed the ability to see clearly the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents.

In the battle just now, it often took several or even dozens of cultivators from Jiutian to join forces to fight against a cultivator of the same level from a foreign land.

In the eyes of the children, they were not qualified fighters at all.

Only when their fathers’ strength reached the level of being able to shoot down stars with a single arrow would they be qualified to fight alien creatures independently.

However, although the battle between the two sides just now was brutal, overall, the strength of the creatures in the Ninth Heaven was generally insufficient.

"Uncle Taoist priest, will you help?" a child asked Li Zhi.

"They can stop it." Li Zhi said.

As for the situation in the Great Red Sky Desert, after the great elder of the Heavenly God Academy, Meng Tianzheng, repelled the immortals from the foreign land, the two sides temporarily broke off contact.

Facing the regret of the great elder who could not become an immortal, the immortal from another world said indifferently: "How ridiculous! You are so ignorant. Even if we give you the environment to become immortals, how many of you can succeed? You are weak and humble, how can you compare with us?"

"Uncle Taoist priest, is it impossible to become an immortal nowadays in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" After hearing the words of the immortal from other lands, the children in the Primitive Imperial City also asked Li Zhi.

"You can become an immortal, but it's much more difficult than before. But as long as you are strong enough, you can become an immortal anywhere. Even if there are no immortal laws between heaven and earth, you can still go against the will of heaven and step into the realm of immortality." Li Zhi said to the children affirmatively.

The reason why the original imperial city has fallen to its current state is because there were no true immortals from the outside world coming to support it, which resulted in the soldiers in the city having no follow-up support.

Even the border kings who guarded the original imperial city were killed one by one by foreign invaders in this era.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Great Red Sky Wasteland was depressing to the extreme. The creatures in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were despised by the creatures from foreign lands, and they were all burning with anger.

Unfortunately, although they were angry, they could not vent it freely and could only use other words to comfort their own monks.

At this moment, the immortal from the foreign land said something that shocked everyone, "If you are not convinced, I can send my younger generation who have never set foot in the immortal realm to fight with you to see who is weaker and who is stronger."

"Then let your people come over. We, the younger generation, will avenge the defeat of the ancient immortals and the shame of all spirits in the future."

At this moment, a cloud of fairy mist suddenly appeared in the deserted land of the Great Scarlet Sky. The fierce aura mixed in the scarlet fairy mist was even stronger than the black mist released by the immortals from other worlds.

The cultivator from the Ninth Heaven was startled as he did not recognize those people.

Even the great elders of the Heavenly God Academy, the Holy Academy, and the Celestial Immortal Academy stopped their discussion and turned their attention to the crowd hidden in the scarlet fairy mist.

The aura of the first three people was extremely powerful, not even weaker than that of the immortals from foreign lands.

"There are actually living immortal creatures within the Nine Heavens? No, your aura is not that of a true immortal. Who are you exactly?" The immortal from a foreign land hiding in the black fog seemed to show a look of surprise after seeing those creatures in the scarlet immortal mist.

"Descendants of ancient immortals, an existence designed to kill." The leading creature spoke in the scarlet immortal mist.

"How dare you! How dare an ant act so violently." The immortal from the foreign land was furious. He instantly stretched out his palm and slapped towards the scarlet fairy mist.

"You dare to show off your skills in such a petty way?" An extremely handsome young man walked out from the fairy mist, stretched out his palm in an ordinary way, and attacked the immortal head-on.

"boom!"

It was as if two true immortals were fighting. The terrifying shock spread out, causing the heaven and earth to tremble.

"What kind of magic do you have that can enable you to exert the combat power of a true immortal at the level of the Supreme Humanity?" After feeling the power in the young man's palm, the immortal from the foreign land immediately withdrew his palm and asked in confusion.

"To fight or not to fight?" The young man said directly without any nonsense.

"Hmph, are you bullying us because we can't cross the border to fight you?" The immortal from the foreign land said coldly.

"If you don't dare to fight, retreat." said the young man.

In the terrifying abyss, the immortals from the foreign lands stopped talking, as if they were discussing their origins. Did the life forbidden area in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths take action again? Or did the Immortal Realm send people to support them?
Meanwhile, on the Jiutian side, the masters from the Changsheng Family, the Immortal Academy, the Holy Academy, and the Heavenly God Academy were also discussing the origins of these people who claimed to be the descendants of the ancient immortals.

On a warship of Tianshen Academy, Shi Hao looked at those people with a puzzled expression.

Those people gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

On Shi Hao's shoulder, the little Sky-horned Ant was also muttering, "How can this person have such pure ancient immortal blood? Why does it feel purer than mine?"

"who are they?"

It has become an unsolved mystery in the minds of many people.

Even the children in the Original Imperial City were curiously asking Li Zhi about the group of people who suddenly joined the battlefield.

"Uncle Taoist, who are they?"

"A group of ancient immortals." Li Zhi said.

However, there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Li Zhi was quite pleased to see the growth of these ancient immortal geniuses who were rescued from the dark cage by him.

Moreover, these people have all abandoned the orthodox ancient immortal cultivation system.

They found a new way and created their own path to immortality.

Although they are not true immortals, the three people leading them are no weaker than any true immortal.

Just like those great emperors in later generations who lived for several generations, killing true immortals is no problem for them.

There were disasters in heaven and earth, which prevented the creatures of this era from becoming immortals, but they did not prevent the creatures of this era from practicing Taoism.

Under Li Zhi's guidance, these ancient immortal geniuses understood the true meaning of how one can still improve their Taoism even if they don't become immortals.

Becoming stronger is not for becoming immortal, but for cultivating the Tao. Therefore, they exerted the foundation accumulated from being imprisoned in the dark cage for countless years, and under the guidance of Li Zhi, they embarked on an alternative path to becoming an immortal.

"You, the ancestors, have been defeated in the ancient immortal war. Let's see what kind of waves you can stir up." The immortal from the foreign land was silent for a moment, and finally spoke. "I will let you know that the creatures in my world will always be superior to you in any age."

"boom!"

At this moment, the black abyss rioted, spewing out black fog, forming a terrifying scene, and then dense figures appeared in that area.

From a distance, they looked like a group of great demons, able to distort the void and emit a terrifying evil aura like the vast ocean.

"They're coming! The creatures from the other side of the world have successfully set foot in our world." A young man from Jiutian saw this horrifying scene and started shouting.

"You bastards, let's fight them and kill them all." There was also a young man with the power of blood and courage, who roared without fear.

"Humph!"

Seeing Jiutian coming here, many people showed their ugly faces, and the creatures in the scarlet fairy mist snorted coldly.

Then the scarlet fairy mist emitted a terrifying devouring power, taking away all the evil spirits sweeping over from the opposite side.

"This is the younger generation of my world. We can fight with you and see how big the gap is." A majestic and immortal voice came from the black fog of the abyss.

Then, a figure walked out from the crowd and shouted towards Jiu Tian.

"Do you dare to fight?"

He was conceited and aloof, as if he didn't take anyone in the world seriously.

"Your ancestors have been defeated, and the descendants of the defeated are even more incompetent. How dare you provoke us?" The creature said again contemptuously when he saw that no one from Jiutian's side stood up.

"Don't send out trash like this to embarrass yourself. Let the descendants of the emperor or the royal family in your world come out." The young man in the scarlet fairy mist said lightly, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

Then, a different figure came out from the foreign land and said, "I have been practicing Taoism for a million years. Who wants to fight me?"

Everyone on the Jiutian side felt that this creature was terrifying.

But the young man in the scarlet fairy mist said, "Are you trying to make fun of us by sending a useless person who has practiced Taoism for millions of years but has never reached the supreme realm?"

"My name is Dituo. I was ranked nineteenth among my peers a million years ago. How dare you say I am a waste?" The creature from the alien land said angrily.

"If you are not a waste, then what are you? In the past, a waste like you was not worthy of my attention." The young man in the fairy mist said.

"Master, let me go to fight. What the senior said is right. Even if one practices Taoism for a million years, he still cannot reach the supreme realm. Today, I will use this broken body to help Jiu Tian."

At this moment, on Jiutian's side, an old man with a gaunt face, gray hair and a short stature walked out and saluted the grand elder of the Holy Academy.

When everyone recognized his identity, they were shocked. A million years ago, he was one of the best people in the Holy Academy.

His name is Xiang Feng, and he is the eldest disciple of the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy. He was once a young genius who was invincible in the world, but his practice went wrong and he almost became possessed and became a demon.

After all these years, he still hasn't been able to break through the bottleneck of the Supreme Realm.

After seeing Xiang Feng stand up, the young man in the fairy mist stopped talking.

Afterwards, Xiang Feng had a great battle with the creatures from foreign lands.

However, Xiang Feng tried his best but still could not defeat his opponent. In the end, his soul was crushed by his opponent and he died on the spot.

This ending shocked all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths.

Xiang Feng, a legendary figure of his generation, who was ranked among the top three of his generation, was killed so easily by his opponent. This left many people with a sense of shame.

Thoughts of fear began to brew in the hearts of many people.

Inside the original imperial city, the children saw Xiang Feng being killed and felt nothing.

The flowers grown in this greenhouse cannot withstand the ravages of wind and waves.

Many of their fathers were stronger than Xiang Feng.

But they all died in the battle against the foreigners.

In comparison, Xiang Feng's performance was extremely poor and there was nothing praiseworthy at all.

"Uncle Taoist priest, is this the only level of geniuses in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" A fourteen-year-old child asked Li Zhi.

If the geniuses of the Holy Academy who represent the top ten in the Nine Heavens are only at this level, then the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have no future at all.

Not to mention the immortal king from foreign lands.

Any immortal can sweep across all sects.

Any genius from the imperial family of a foreign land can wipe out the top forces in the Nine Heavens.

With the help of immortal weapons handed down from the ancient times and fighting in foreign lands, they are essentially no different from the old, weak, women and children in the original imperial city.

It is simply unable to support the task of reviving the primitive ancient world.

The children all spontaneously planted the seed that they would rely on themselves for the future.

Even all living beings in this era are unreliable.

When the new era comes, they occupy vast territories but fail to play their due role and should be swept into the dustbin of history.

Their ancestors almost exhausted their last drop of blood in order to protect these lives in the rear.

However, the performance of these people was disappointing and they did not look like they were capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

The children were more convinced of Li Zhi's previous comments on the ancient immortal creatures.

Xiang Feng's death in battle caused Jiutian's side to fall into complete silence, and everyone was shocked.

Although I was filled with grief and indignation, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

The huge gap makes them see no hope.

Seeing Dito retreating in the black fog, a young man with a murderous aura walked out of the scarlet fairy fog.

"Xian Gu, Leng Feng. Anyone below the Supreme can come out and challenge me."

The young man pointed at the foreign monk in the black fog opposite him as if he was drawing a magic sword.

It seems that they are not looking at enemies, but at a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

That look made many creatures from foreign lands angry.
