Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 558: Horror Altar

Deep in a foreign land, an ancient land floating in the universe exudes a faint breath of immortality.

This ancient land seems to be the origin of an alien land, with a rich immortal essence and an aura of the creation era.

But such a beautiful ancient continent has no living creature on it.

There is only a magnificent temple standing in the center of the continent. A light golden glow emanates from the temple, making the entire temple look extremely sacred. There is also light rain of various colors sprinkled down, making this ancient continent look unusually peaceful.

The sacred rain of light seemed to be able to purify people's hearts, end all kinds of disputes in the world, and erase the murderous intent among all races in the heavens.

This place is none other than the place where the ancient artifacts of origin are enshrined.

This is a quiet and peaceful sacred place, but if you look closely, you will feel a special mysterious temperament, which is fundamentally different from the pure fairyland.

Kundi, the owner of the Immortal Refining Pot, who had rushed here from the battlefield where he besieged Li Zhi, came directly to the temple without any hesitation and began to chant an ancient spell, as if to invite out the supreme being in the temple.

"boom!"

A terrifying force erupted from the temple, and a mysterious demon figure walked out of the temple, bathed in nine-colored divine light, but it was so dark that people could not see his true appearance.

As the demon shadow left the temple, its body began to grow rapidly, becoming enormous in an instant, standing on the immortal continent, as if it could fill the entire universe.

"Roar!"

A low roar came from the mouth of the towering demon shadow, as if a wild beast that had been sleeping for eons was released from its cage again.

The sound shook the entire foreign land, causing piece by piece of the universe to tremble. All living things in heaven and earth were trembling and couldn't help but shiver. Some creatures of all races with weak souls had their spirits shattered in an instant after that breath came out.

"What a powerful demon shadow." Deep in the distant starry sky, Li Zhi, who was fighting a group of immortal kings, also felt an extremely dangerous aura.

The huge and boundless demonic shadow that walked out of the temple was much more powerful than the demonic shadow evolved by the ancient ancestor of Bliss using his magical powers.

It seems that he possesses the ultimate combat power of an Immortal King.

Moreover, the sacred dark substance covering the demon shadow makes people feel even more frightened.

"Young man, go and face the calamity!" Kundi shouted directly at Li Zhi.

Then, the group of immortal kings who besieged Li Zhi hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be affected by the dark power emanating from the demon shadow.

At Kundi's call, the tall and mighty demon shadow finally opened its eyes. Its eyes were like black holes, as if they were going to suck the human soul out of the body.

Even Li Zhi felt his soul shake slightly, as if the demon shadow opposite him could really kill his soul.

"boom!"

The terrifying demonic shadow seemed to lock onto Li Zhi in an instant and reached out to grab him. The terrifying big hand tore through the starry sky and shattered all obstacles. That extreme power seemed to exceed the limits that the heaven and earth could bear.

Li Zhi, feeling the threat to his life, suddenly burst into a brilliant golden light from his body.

"Ow!"

A loud dragon roar resounded through heaven and earth, and then a piece of golden armor appeared on Li Zhi's body.

Then, the aura on Li Zhi's body began to surge, and the terrifying golden light gathered on his fist, and then transformed into a golden dragon and attacked the huge hand that covered the sky that the demon shadow had slapped out.

"Boom!" After a loud noise, the Immortal Kings in different directions expressed different emotions.

"Ancestral Dragon Fist!"

"Zulong armor?"

At this moment, an Immortal King sensed an extremely unfamiliar aura of the Great Dao from Li Zhi, and his face immediately changed. He said, "This person is definitely not a creature from our world. I don't know what means he used to deceive the perception of the World Tree."

The other immortal kings also noticed something unusual about Li Zhi.

With the body as a seed, the five secret realms glow, and the power of the inner way emerges, which is fundamentally different from the myriad ways of heaven and earth in the outside world.

It is a supreme state of mind that can perfectly transform Taoism into combat power.

Normally, even the Immortal King cannot fully transform the great Dao he has comprehended into combat power.

This is the key to a cultivator's ability to cultivate amplifying magical powers and instantly burst out with multiple combat power.

Taoism and combat power are not the same.

The level of Taoism a cultivator possesses is the level of his understanding of the Tao.

The fighting power of a living being is the external manifestation of the power of the Tao that it can use.

It's like a mortal, who normally wouldn't exert power beyond his limit, but in special circumstances, he could burst out with amazing power.

This kind of outburst is like converting all one's skills into combat power.

For mortals who have not practiced cultivation, their spiritual power is the potential ability possessed by their physical bodies.

However, after practicing the secret realm of the human body and opening the door to the avenue in the body, one can perfectly control the power of the avenue released from the door.

Unlike the Taoism accumulated from comprehending external ways, in order to transform all of this Taoism into combat power, not only the physical body is required, but also the cooperation of the soul, the laws of the Tao, and other aspects.

This is why the "all" secret among the Nine Secrets can instantly amplify the abilities of the cultivator tenfold.

As his Taoism increased, more and more doors of the Tao in his body opened, and Li Zhi gained a deeper understanding of the Nine Secrets created based on the Heaven-Covering Method.

No wonder in the era of Shrouding the Heaven, the Nine Secrets were known as the pinnacle of magical powers and secret arts, an existence that could only be matched but not surpassed.

The various secret techniques created by Li Zhi back then were not as good as the Nine Secrets in terms of evolving magical powers and growth potential.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi gradually gave up the method he created and instead began to study the Nine Secrets in depth again.

No wonder, Ye Fan was still using the Nine Secrets to fight the enemy when he reached the realm of sacrifice.

It is really that the upper limit of the Nine Secrets is too high, and the foundation is extremely solid, which is a perfect match with the Human Body Secret Realm Method.

Using the secret of the word "皆" to amplify the Ancestral Dragon Fist, Li Zhi and Mo Ying were able to fight on equal terms.

"Boom!"

The huge aftermath of the collision directly destroyed dozens of starry universes.

Those immortal kings who withdrew from the battlefield even took action to stabilize the heaven and earth, preventing the battle between the two from spreading to the earth below.

If the two are allowed to fight without restriction, I am afraid the world of the foreign land will be shattered.

The ending won't be much better than the nine heavens and ten earths.

"Roar!" The demon shadow let out a roar like a beast when its attack missed. Its body, which seemed to be made of black mist, became more solid again. The black mist on its arms disappeared, revealing arms covered with scales.

His palms were as sharp as Kunpeng's claws, emitting a cold light. The terrifying runes of the Great Dao condensed on his fingertips, turning into the sharpest blades.

Afterwards, the monster's body shrank to about the same size as Li Zhi, but its speed suddenly increased several times, and it pounced towards Li Zhi like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

The sharp claws directly tore open Li Zhi's flesh, causing the nine-colored true blood in his body to fly everywhere.

Fortunately, the Ancestral Dragon Armor was strong enough to block the fatal attack of the monster.

The clanging sound was extremely sharp, sparks flew, and left marks on the Ancestral Dragon Armor, which was said to be unbreakable by anyone except the emperor.

The huge force made Li Zhi fly backwards, and his expression became extremely solemn.

The monster summoned from the ancient artifact of origin was indeed powerful. The body composed of quasi-immortal emperor runes and dark matter shocked even the Immortal King.

Now, with Li Zhi's cultivation level, except for a few creatures such as butchers, chicken farmers and those selling fake medicines, there is almost no other Immortal King who can bring him such huge pressure.

The Immortal King and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor are indeed two completely different levels of life.

The quasi-immortal emperor runes, plus some dark matter, can create such a terrifying monster.

No wonder, those powerful men who established the Heavenly Court in the past almost all became lonely people in the end.

It is because their level is too high. In their eyes, the Immortal King is just an ant. One person's heaven, one person is heaven.

Quantity, in the eyes of creatures at that level, has lost its meaning.

In all the heavens and worlds, no matter how many powerful Immortal Kings there are, they are not enough to be killed by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

"kill!"

Li Zhi roared and charged violently, fearlessly. The Ancestral Dragon Armor on his body communicated with the Ancestral Dragon's true essence that he had swallowed into his body, bursting out with the supreme power of the Immortal King. He was like a peerless emperor descending, sweeping away all enemies in the heavens.

"Boom!" There was a huge explosion in the void, and a terrifying big hole was broken in the wall of the boundary. A huge amount of chaotic energy poured back into the world, but the creation of the world was completed in the collision between the two.

But the next second, the new world born from the chaos was destroyed again in the battle between the two.

Even some immortal materials born in the chaos that could be used to refine the Supreme Immortal King's magical instruments were not spared and turned into ashes in the battle between the two.

The war continued, leaving the area completely shattered.

Even the World Tree didn't have time to repair the damage.

Seeing this, the kings came to the vicinity of the temple and said to Kundi: "Senior, I am afraid that a demon shadow is no match for him."

Kundi also saw how powerful Li Zhi was and continued to cast spells to summon black shadows.

In the golden temple, the roar of the wild beast was heard again, and then a second black shadow emerged, and it directly transformed into a demon god with a pair of dark wings, and rushed towards Li Zhi.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

During the battle, Li Zhi's true blood began to boil, and the true essence of the Ancestral Dragon began to be gradually integrated into the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

The immortal will contained in his true essence was also constantly integrated into his own soul in order to resist the erosion of the sacred darkness.

Seeing that Li Zhi was getting more and more courageous in the battle, Kundi quickly invited the other four immortal kings to chant scriptures and cast spells with him.

Under normal circumstances, if one wants to summon a demon shadow from the Ancient Artifact of Origin to fight the enemy, one must at least have the strength of an Immortal King to ensure that he will not be harmed by the Ancient Artifact of Origin.

However, they no longer have any more choices.

As a giant among the Immortal Kings, the Red King is still sleeping, Wushang has not returned from traveling in the Sea of ​​​​Realm, Jile has been suppressed by Li Zhi, and other giants are not in the foreign land for various reasons. Except for Kunti, the giant among the Immortal Kings who can normally operate the ancient artifact of terror origin, there are no other giants available.

Fortunately, the four immortal kings joined forces to assist Kundi, which could greatly reduce his pressure.

Seven more demonic shadows walked out of the temple one after another, and transformed into demons of different shapes and rushed towards Li Zhi to kill him.

The forms of those demonic shadows are completely different from those of the alien races. There are almost no corresponding races in the heavens and all worlds. They should be dark creatures condensed based on the creatures on the other side of the sea boundary.

Sure enough, as the battle continued, those dark creatures revealed some completely different auras of the Great Dao.

The aura of the eternal avenue is filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.

Under extreme pressure, Li Zhi roared to the sky, and his real body began to change. The Ancestral Dragon Armor turned into dragon scales and embedded in his skin again.

Then, a golden dragon appeared in the broken chaotic void.

The terrifying aura seemed to surpass that of the Immortal King, as if the Ancestral Dragon had reappeared on earth.

Those dark creatures transformed from the evil shadows seemed to be no match for Li Zhi. Under the guidance of the mysterious will of the ancient artifact of origin, they merged into one creature.

It looks similar to Li Zhi's golden dragon, but its aura is completely opposite.

The horrific battle caused the nine-colored true blood and dark true blood to fly everywhere.

The rich dark matter contained in the dark true blood seems to turn the entire foreign land into a dark territory.

The nine-colored true blood in Li Zhi's body also contained a terrifying murderous intent and a demonic power, as if it could sacrifice the entire world in blood. Its power was no weaker than that of dark matter.

"Not good. Set up the Four Kings Heaven Controlling Formation. We must not let their true blood and dark matter spread freely."

The kings who were unable to intervene, after seeing the horrific blood rain, hurriedly took action to stop the blood.

Don’t look at it, they worship the ancient artifacts of origin, and even some immortal kings are dark super-evolved creatures.

However, they were also wary of the dark power contained in the ancient artifact of origin.

After all, when the nine-colored divine light emitted by the ancient artifact of origin shines on them, it will not greatly increase their cultivation level, but will directly kill them.

It can be said that although the ancient artifact of origin is in a foreign land, it has never been truly controlled by the immortal king of the foreign land.

This is also the reason why they have been trying to find the key to unlock the ancient artifact of origin for countless epochs.

"The altar of the great way, a blood sacrifice for all living things."

Seeing that he was unable to defeat the dark dragon, Li Zhi suddenly used a forbidden secret technique.

A mysterious and ancient three-story altar, accompanied by the breath of death, appeared at his feet.

Then, scarlet chains burst out from the altar and locked onto the dark dragon as if they had found their prey.

The immortal king from the foreign land stared at the mysterious altar under Li Zhi's feet in horror.

In their eyes, it was not an altar at all, but a boundless forbidden sea, filled with the smell of death and withering, which seemed even more terrifying than the boundary sea.

The ancient artifacts of origin in the temple seemed to feel threatened.

It was not under Kunti's control and flew directly out of the temple, bursting out with dazzling nine-colored divine light.

"what!"

At the same time, several Immortal Kings were unable to dodge and were hit by the Nine-Colored Divine Light. They roared in pain and suffered severe injuries in an instant.

He even had to cut off part of his flesh to prevent the entire body from being affected.

"Kaka..."

Moreover, the ancient artifact of origin seemed to make a sound of wood cracking.

A vague consciousness seemed to awaken.

The Dark Dragon, which had been tied up by the Chains of Order released from the Death Altar, seemed to be possessed by an inexplicable will at this moment, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in its originally empty eyes.

"If you don't bow to the emperor when you meet him, your true destiny is lost, and you will be reincarnated..."

Before the Dark True Dragon could finish speaking the Supreme Dao Sound, Li Zhi shouted, "Great Sacrifice!"

Mysterious power instantly erupted from the altar, and the Dark Dragon didn't even have time to finish his next words before he was completely swallowed up by the scarlet sacrificial power.

Then a mysterious plateau shadow suddenly appeared from the void and suppressed the vague will that was about to revive in the ancient artifact of origin.

The ancient artifact of origin returned to the temple in shame.

And on the altar, there was an extra drop of dark red real blood, as if it was about to merge into Li Zhi's body.

"Eternal Green Mountain, town!"

At this moment, a sacred mountain emitting an aura of immortality flew out again from Li Zhi's Wheel Sea Secret Realm and directly suppressed the drop of dark red true blood.

The drop of true blood then calmed down and no longer had the urge to merge into Li Zhi's flesh and blood.

The moment that drop of dark red true blood appeared, all the immortal kings present felt a fear from the bottom of their souls.

No matter whether it was the Immortal King who had just entered the king realm or the Immortal King at the giant level, they all felt a chill all over their bodies.

It seemed that a thumb-sized drop of dark red blood could destroy the entire foreign land.

After suppressing that drop of dark red true blood, Li Zhi directly broke through the chaos and left the foreign land.

There was no immortal king who went to hunt him down.
