Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 584: Sacrifice from the Ancient Times
The universe is vast and the starry sky is infinite.

Zhou Tong's excited shout immediately brought Li Changshou, who was daydreaming, back to reality.

In the night sky, several streaks of light streaked across the sky and collided in the void.

The long contrail looked like the trace left by a surface-to-air missile when it intercepted an invading enemy, but its flexible movement and huge roar made it look like fighter planes engaging in close combat in the night sky.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Zhou Tong jumped up from the ground with a somersault, then rushed towards his off-road vehicle and quickly fetched a telescope.

Then he looked up and looked into the depths of the night sky through the telescope.

"Changshou, come and see. A transcendent who can fly has appeared." Zhou Tong danced with joy, as if he couldn't control his emotions, and shouted to Li Changshou while watching.

Li Changshou, who was in pain all over, struggled to get up from the ground, and then walked to the off-road vehicle with gritted teeth.

He took the telescope handed to him by Zhou Tong and looked towards a spot of light that kept colliding in the night sky.

Although the distance was too far to see their true appearance, several human outlines could be vaguely seen from the light balls covering them.

"hiss!"

Li Changshou couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is there really someone in this world who can fly in the air with his physical body? Could it be that the earth's spiritual energy has revived and given birth to a strong person who can fly into the sky and hide in the ground?
Seeing that Li Changshou was fascinated, Zhou Tong on the side said anxiously: "Changshou, let me take another look."

Li Changshou immediately returned the binoculars to Zhou Tong, but after Zhou Tong got the binoculars back, he did not look directly at the sky.

Instead, he broke it with force and stuffed one of the tubes into Li Changshou's hand, saying, "The gods are showing their holiness. This is a rare spectacle that only appears once in hundreds of years. We must not miss it."

Then the two of them just lay on the ground, closed one eye, and looked at the battle deep in the sky through the telescope.

The three figures, covered by the mysterious ball of light, were colliding fiercely with each other.

Every time they collided, it was like releasing a firework in the night sky, bright and beautiful.

Suddenly, the three figures seemed to cast a magical spell. The light balls covering them suddenly deformed and turned into the shapes of three flying birds.

One looks like a pure white crane, one looks like a beautiful colorful rooster, and the other looks like a ferocious peregrine falcon.

The three flying birds transformed from divine light were much more ferocious than the real birds in the animal world. Their attack and defense were so swift that even Li Changshou was unable to react and could only vaguely see their majestic figures flash by.

The battle in the sky was extremely fierce. From time to time, there was rain of light falling, leaving bright traces in the night sky like meteors.

Moreover, this evenly matched battle seemed to have no intention of stopping.

A full quarter of an hour had passed and they were still fighting. Even the ferocious bird transformed by the divine light became unstable, as if it would collapse at any time, but the three extraordinary strong men were still fighting desperately.

“Zhou Tong, who are these people? Are there really extraordinary people in our world?” Li Changshou’s eyes became sore after watching this, and then he asked Zhou Tong, who was still concentrating on the battle in the night sky.

"There are extraordinary people in the world, but there are no extraordinary people in our world. Since the incident of Jue Tian Di Tong three hundred years ago, extraordinary people have only become legends. I never thought that after three hundred years, I would have the honor of meeting the extraordinary person recorded in the ancestral books."

Zhou Tong stared at the battle in the night sky intently, and a trembling sound came out of his mouth, as if he could not control his excitement at the moment.

The reason why he devoted himself to Kung Fu was because his family's ancestral books clearly recorded some extraordinary events, as well as some powerful human beings who were comparable to gods in the world.

Zhou Tong originally thought that he would be like his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, never having the chance to meet a transcendent in his life, and never having the chance to become one. However, he did not expect that accompanying Li Changshou out to relax would lead him to encounter a miraculous battle.

It has been recorded in ancestral books that when a transcendent being appears in the world, the door to the spiritual world will open, and human civilization will undergo tremendous changes.

After hearing Zhou Tong's explanation, Li Changshou suddenly remembered a scene in the starry sky that he had just seen unconsciously.

When Li Changshou shifted his gaze away from the battle in the sky, he discovered that in the distant starry sky, there was no mysterious scene that he had just seen.

It was as if what he had just seen was just a temporary hallucination caused by the pain in his body.

The brain involuntarily connects the stars in the sky, thus drawing a shocking picture of the advent of gods.

"Whizzing!"

At this moment, a sharp roar of a fighter plane was heard from a distance, and an air-to-air missile spewing flames was launched from a fighter plane in the distance.

Fly directly towards the three powerful men who were fighting in the sky.

"boom!"

The air-to-air missile exploded in mid-air, and the huge air wave blew the three strong men away.

But in the next second, the divine light on their bodies surged, and the crane transformed by the divine light directly spit out a dazzling white light towards the flying fighter planes.

The white light pierced through the wing of the fighter plane in an instant like a flying sword.

The fighter plane lost control on the spot and fell rapidly.

"boom!"

At an altitude of several hundred meters close to the ground, the fighter pilot ejected directly, and a parachute opened.

But the next second, high in the sky, a peregrine falcon transformed by divine light stretched out a claw towards the falling pilot.

The sharp claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind, directly tore the pilot's parachute into pieces, and hit the pilot with the same force.

Through the telescope, Li Changshou could clearly see that the pilot was torn to pieces by the sharp claws that slapped him from mid-air, and his broken arms and limbs flew down in all directions.

The cruel scene made it difficult for Li Changshou to adapt for a while.

After dealing with the fighter plane and the pilot, the battle between the three strong men continued.

It seemed like they would not give up this battle until the winner was decided.

"Sure enough, the lethality of modern conventional weapons is simply not enough in front of those powerful people who can fly in the air."

Zhou Tong was not affected at all. Instead, he commented on the strengths and weaknesses of modern thermal weapons.

"The plane that was shot down just now should be a third-generation aircraft that has been eliminated by the times. If it was a fourth-generation aircraft, a fifth-generation aircraft, or a sixth-generation aircraft with better maneuverability, it would not be so easy to be shot down." Li Changshou is full of confidence in modern thermal weapons.

He didn't think that those strong men who could fly in the air could really withstand the baptism of artillery fire.

If they were really that powerful, they would not have been blown away by the blast generated by the explosion of the old air-to-air missile.

Moreover, no army can tolerate planes being shot down and pilots being hunted down in mid-air.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, six more advanced fighter jets came speeding in from an altitude of 30,000 meters.

In an instant, twenty-four of the most advanced air-to-air missiles flew towards the three powerful men who were fighting.

The flight speed exceeding Mach 5 is an indication of the power of those missiles.

As if sensing the fatal threat from those twenty-four powerful air-to-air missiles, the three strong men swooped down from the sky in an instant.

The speed of the dive was so fast that it seemed not much slower than those missiles.

"boom!"

In less than ten seconds, a huge explosion was heard in the distant desert.

Even though they were dozens of kilometers away, the dust still blew to where Li Changshou and Zhou Tong were.

Just when the two thought that the three people had been killed by the missiles, they saw three streams of light flying close to the ground towards the oil field in the distance.

Just when Zhou Tong and Li Changshou were surprised.

The next second, a warhead with a speed exceeding Mach 20 fell from the sky and hit the direction where the three figures were moving.

"Boom!" A huge mushroom cloud rose in the night sky.

The sandstorm blew towards Zhou Tong and Li Changshou like a wave.

The strong wind caused the two men to roll on the ground, and even the off-road vehicle weighing three and a half tons was almost blown over.

After the dust settled, Zhou Tong was not angry. Instead, he got up from the ground with an excited look on his face and urged Li Changshou, "Changshou, get in the car quickly."

Enduring the severe pain in his body, Li Changshou felt that all the bones in his body were about to break. Moreover, after being blown by the wind just now, his face was scratched by several small stones.

"What are you doing?" Li Changshou climbed up with the help of the car body.

But at this moment, Zhou Tong seemed to no longer have eyes for Li Changshou, nor the injuries on his body.

After getting into the cab, he turned on the car computer and released the onboard drone.

The drone flew out with a buzz.

Zhou Tong stared at the images sent back by the drone. The desert was in ruins after being bombed by air-to-air missiles and ballistic missiles.

The huge crater makes one's scalp tingle.

If hit by such a huge explosion wave, a mortal would probably be vaporized instantly, and no trace would be left at all.

However, the images sent back by the drone showed that at the edge of the crater, there were three charred bodies struggling to move, and they were emitting a faint light, as if they were practicing internal energy to heal their injuries.

"Snapped!"

Just when Zhou Tong was about to fly the drone closer and shout to the three strong men, one of them suddenly picked up a stone beside him and threw it out, directly shooting down the drone.

Zhou Tong, however, didn't feel bad at all that the drone worth 100,000 yuan was shot down by the other party. Instead, he said anxiously, "Changshou, fasten your seat belts. Let's drive over."

"Zhou Tong, calm down." Li Changshou was shocked. Going to have close contact with that inhuman existence was no different from going to die.

In the secular world, even among people with economic inequality, some people do not treat the poor as human beings.

This is the situation that occurs when the life levels are at the same level.

And those three strong men who were attacked by missiles in turn, with their strong bodies and extraordinary life levels, how could they regard them, the mortals, as human beings.

Especially when the other person is injured.

Even injured wild beasts are at their most ferocious, let alone these injured inhuman warriors.

"You don't understand. If you miss this village, you will miss this store."

Zhou Tong's mind seemed to be controlled by an unknown existence, and at this moment he seemed to have lost all perception of danger.

Without waiting for Li Changshou to stop him, Zhou Tong started the car.

With the accelerator pressed to the floor, this three-and-a-half-ton off-road vehicle was ejected like a racing car on a track.

After a few seconds, the speed soared to over 100 kilometers per hour and continued to accelerate.

Li Changshou, who was already injured, felt dizzy instantly under such a strong acceleration.

However, Zhou Tong, who was already controlled by adrenaline, could not perceive this at all.

On the contrary, the closer he got to the bomb crater in the desert, the more excited he became.

But at this moment, there was a roar of fighter jets in the sky, and a high-speed reconnaissance drone flew over the crater.

At the same time, a sci-fi-looking command aircraft was hovering in the air more than ten kilometers away from the crater.

Moreover, after the soldiers in the command machine discovered that the off-road player version driven by Zhou Tong was approaching the bomb crater at a high speed, they directly hacked into the vehicle system and took over the control of the vehicle.

Then he steered the car and drove away from the crater.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong yelled, "Fuck!"

Step on the brake to stop the car.

Then he jumped out of the car, turned around and shouted to Li Changshou: "Changshou, I'm going to ask for longevity. Please tell Zhou Ying not to worry about me."

After saying that, he ran towards the direction of the crater without hesitation.

That speed is even faster than that of the 100-meter champion.

When Li Changshou woke up from his dizzy state, Zhou Tong had already disappeared.

"Zhou Tong, come back here."

Li Changshou jumped out of the car and shouted in the direction of the bomb crater.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

Then he got into the driver's seat, started the car and planned to chase after him.

However, the car computer seemed to be temporarily locked and the vehicle could not be started at all.

"Fuck!" Li Changshou also slapped the steering wheel fiercely.

Then he jumped out of the cab and ran towards the crater.

However, his head was still clear. He grabbed a backpack from the car and followed the traces left by Zhou Tong.

After running for an unknown distance, Li Changshou's feet suddenly went weak, and he fell heavily onto the beach.

Li Changshou's body, which had suffered a series of blows, could no longer support itself and he fainted on the spot.

In a trance, his mind once again merged with the vast starry sky.

The magnificent starry sky slowly unfolded in his mind.

The red dragon that looked like a galaxy, the holy ape that stood tall and proud, and the golden bull that was more dazzling than any other galaxy appeared before his eyes again.

However, this time they were chanting around an altar that was even more vast than the stars.

Countless mysterious avenue runes emerged from the altar.

The grand sound of chanting even summoned various strange visions and divine punishments.

The red dragon roared, the holy ape roared, and the golden bull yelled, as if they were trying their best to fight against the power of heavenly punishment.

Finally, three blurry figures appeared on the altar.

But before they could smile, a white hand suddenly fell from the sky and instantly wiped out the three blurry figures.

"No!"

The Red Dragon, the Holy Ape, and the Golden Bull immediately let out unwilling roars, and a terrifying aura burst out from them.

In an instant, the galaxies around disappeared and chaos surged, as if the entire universe was about to be reduced to ruins.

But at this moment, a ray of fairy light flew out from the depths of the universe and pierced their chests directly, causing their momentum to pause. Then their huge Dharma images shattered piece by piece, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated in the universe.

In a trance, Li Zhi seemed to hear someone murmur: "Yes, they are all here."
