Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 644: The Emperor Falls and the People Die
"The method for the Five Immortals to become emperors? Why have I never heard of this method?"

Seeing the nine figures appearing behind Li Zhi, Chu Feng felt a familiar yet unfamiliar aura.

"A technique similar to the Dual Dao Fruit technique you practiced, but much more complicated than your Dual Dao Fruit technique."

Emperor Huang Tian, ​​who was standing by, explained to Chu Feng the nine figures behind Li Zhi. He had once seen Li Zhi practicing the Five Immortals when he was young.

This method is not about cultivating many different Dao fruits, but about incorporating many cultivation systems into the same practice framework, in order to build the four beams and eight pillars of the Great Dao.

This creates a completely different way of evolution.

It is not the evolution of life, but the embodiment of Tao.

Unfortunately, when he became the Immortal Emperor, Li Zhi had already disappeared.

Originally, Emperor Huang Tian thought that Li Zhi had given up the method of Five Immortals Becoming Emperor, but he never thought that he had actually perfected this method to its current level.

The nine figures come from nine evolutionary systems and also represent nine ways of immortality. Together they construct a new avenue model, greatly expanding the scope of the immortal way.

Although it is not known why Li Zhi did not converge the nine evolutionary systems into one when he broke through the realm of true self.

Logically speaking, the sacrificial realm is already the upper limit of all evolutionary systems in the heavens and myriad worlds. It would be impossible to retain an independent evolutionary system above this.

Back then, Chu Feng possessed two Dao fruits of evolutionary paths, but when he broke through to the Dao of Sacrifice, the two Dao fruits completely merged together and could no longer be distinguished from each other.

But Li Zhi obviously retained the different immortal evolution system fruits, and the combat power they displayed was also extraordinary.

It was actually able to compete with Ye Fan’s forbidden secret technique of controlling the Nine Mysteries with the Nine Emperors’ Weapons.

On the battlefield, the fighting was extremely fierce.

Li Zhi and Ye Fan's main bodies are confronting each other, and the real battle is left to the incarnations and weapons.

When they reach their level, they are no longer bound by form. There is no difference between using weapons and physical bodies, they are all Tao.

Li Zhi's celestial incarnation was extremely powerful, as if he was the incarnation of Heaven. There were rules and order in every move he made.

To fight against it, Ye Fan used the fairy mirror evolved from the Great Dao and the sacred fighting method he controlled.

The collision of the battle was like a collision between the myriad laws of heaven and earth, splashing up countless rays of divine light, and the scene was spectacular.

Li Zhi's earthly immortal incarnation possesses powerful supernatural powers to control objects. With every move he makes, it seems as if he is wielding all things in heaven and earth, as if he is smashing worlds at his opponent.

The human-immortal incarnation even displayed invincible close combat skills, as if he had mastered the close combat techniques of all living creatures in the world, and looked very exciting.

The incarnation of a god is much quieter, and his words are fulfilled by law, just like the real emperor of heaven coming to the earth.

The incarnation of a ghost immortal is mysterious and unpredictable. Even the Xingzi Secret, which is known for its speed, cannot lock onto his position.

The demons are bloodthirsty, crazy in fighting, and can output exponential destructive power.

The magic fairy has a tough life and as long as the magic blood is dry, the magic fairy will not die, and the battle style is the bloodiest.

The evil immortal is strange and can induce the soul of the opponent to fall in battle. Even with the will of the soul blessed by the previous secret, the mind will be shaken.

Although the above battles were magical, they were not unexpected in the eyes of Emperor Huang Tian and Chu Feng, and they could mostly see traces of their footsteps.

Some of them are borrowed from the ancient immortal methods, some are derived from the methods of the Shrouding Heaven era, some are from the pollen road of the Holy Ruins era, or some are from a strange clan.

The only thing they could not understand was the "incarnation of the Holy Way". Even the aura of the evolutionary system flowing through the incarnation of the Holy Way had never appeared in ancient history.

There seems to be no trace of that system in either the upper or lower reaches of ancient history.

However, Emperor Huang Tian had extraordinary magical powers, and his ability to calculate the mysteries of heaven was unprecedented. He began to deduce his origins solely based on the divine form of the incarnation of the Holy Way.

The holy way is absolutely extraordinary.

His human body secret realm system had evolved into a holy realm, which was called the "saint realm".

It includes three different stages of cultivation: Saint, Saint King, and Great Saint.

It is even more powerful than the cultivators of the Xu Dao, Zhan Wo, and Dun Yi realms of the ancient immortal law of the same period.

Possessing an incredible realm of holy way.

However, that kind of "Holy Way Realm" and the "Holy Way Incarnation" that Li Zhi evolved at this moment did not have much in common.

It seemed as if the incarnation of the Holy Way evolved by Li Zhi possessed the potential to be on par with them.

It can also transcend infinite time and space, the cause and effect of the heavens, and the great way of the heavens, and become an immortal existence like the one above the Dao of Sacrifice.

It seems that this evolutionary system is fundamentally different from the evolutionary systems possessed by the other eight incarnations.

Emperor Huang Tian started to deduce without saying a word.

Then, one by one, nouns related to realm emerged in his mind.

"Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, return to the void, fusion, great success, overcoming tribulation, true immortal, mysterious immortal, golden immortal, Taiyi, Daluo, quasi-sage, saint, Daozu."

It was just like the feeling when he created the secret realm of the human body and determined the "Wheel Sea", "Tao Palace", "Four Poles", "Dragon Transformation" and "Immortal Platform".

Combining these realm-related nouns together forms a clear and complete system of cultivation and evolution, which is not restricted by innate race and seems to be able to adapt to the practice of all intelligent life.

"What a sophisticated evolutionary system. Could this be the fundamental reason why Li Zhi's luck is about to end?"

Emperor Huang Tian couldn't help but marvel in his heart, and then he thought of Li Zhi's gradually fading luck.

It seems that this evolutionary system is too complete and powerful, and has inexplicable causal connections with countless beings stronger than Li Zhi, which is why he is unable to materialize this evolutionary path.

Just to manifest an incarnation of the Holy Word is enough to exhaust everything, even leading to death.

It was as if an unknown entity was competing with him for control of this system.

Moreover, he is a loser and cannot shake the authority of the creature who has already earned the position of Tao Ancestor.

Chu Feng, who was standing by, also noticed something.

As the Heavenly Emperor who created many evolutionary systems after transcendence, Chu Feng compared the incarnation of the Holy Way with the evolutionary paths he had opened up after seeing it.

He finally came to the conclusion that no evolutionary system could compete with him except the field in which he achieved enlightenment.

Not even the pollen road.

They also discovered that the incarnation of the Holy Way seemed to have an independent consciousness and was absorbing the pitiful amount of luck from Li Zhi.

At the same time, he had an aura that was completely different from this ancient history.

It seems like a projection left in this world by creatures from another dimension.

He also seems to be Li Zhi's competitor, and the one who ultimately wins.

"Could it be that Li Zhi's fate has changed because of him?"

This situation suddenly reminded Emperor Huang Tian of the situation when they were resurrected for no reason after dying in battle.

At that time, because of the huge causal relationship between them and the sick, even if they were killed by the will of the plateau and the original ancestors of the plateau, and at the same time changed the ending of ancient history, they were still able to return.

Moreover, after returning, his combat power soared unreasonably, and he eventually turned defeat into victory.

According to normal logic, above the Dao of Sacrifice, there is no Great Dao, no cause and effect, no time and space, and therefore no concept of Dao practice.

In other words, even if they stand in that area, their Taoism level will not suddenly soar.

But in fact, their skills have inexplicably increased countless times.

After their fate was rewritten, everything in existence seemed unable to be explained by normal logic.

Now, something has happened to Li Zhi that cannot be explained by normal logic, which may explain why his luck has run out.

Perhaps, Li Zhi's fate should not have been like this, but because someone absorbed the luck that originally belonged to him, it led to his hasty end.

Even the ancient history scrolls of the universe, where he left deep traces, could not stop him from disappearing.

The battlefield outside the world is brilliant and sacred, as if many ancient history scrolls have appeared.

The battle between Li Zhi and Ye Fan entered a fierce stage.

Although they used all kinds of methods, there was no sign of a winner between the two.

It seems to be gradually moving towards the normal state of ancient history.

The more powerful the creature, the more difficult it is to determine the winner.

If the battle is not fought for tens of thousands of years or even longer, it cannot be called a battle between the strong.

Fortunately, Emperor Huang Tian and Chu Feng, who were watching the battle on the sidelines, did not sit idly by and watch the situation continue to evolve.

As long as Li Zhi lives, the influence of his great path on the heavens and all worlds will not disappear, and the dark world will continue.

Time, the impact will double with every year of delay. Now, this battle outside the world has only lasted for a thousand years, and the low-level cultivators in the heavens and myriad worlds have already felt the hardships of the world, and more and more people have fallen into a state of madness.

If this war drags on for ten thousand years, all the cultivators in the humane realm will be caught in a dangerous situation of infighting.

"Let's take action too."

After feeling that he had seen through all of Li Zhi's methods, Emperor Huang Tian said to Chu Feng beside him.

"It's time to take action."

Chu Feng nodded, feeling that this situation could not be allowed to continue.

During the Holy Ruins Era, the influence caused by the strange clan on the universe was far less than the dark erosion that Li Zhi is inflicting on the universe today.

Then, the two of them joined the battle together.

"Haha, good time."

Seeing Emperor Huang Tian and Chu Feng attacking together, Li Zhi was not worried but became even more excited.

There's even a feeling of being satisfied.

Then he changed his moves.

The nine incarnations of the immortals left the battlefield one after another, surrounded Li Zhi, and formed a mysterious ten-direction formation.

Then, they chanted mysterious scriptures together.

"Who is the grand sacrifice for? Where are the anomalies? Who wrote the mottled painting?"

Countless runes emitting the rhythm of ink seemed to have transformed into brushes and began to carve ancient history in nothingness.

This action was like a drop of thick ink staining the scroll of an ancient book.

He modified the characters in the paintings and scribbled on the existence of ancient history.

Wherever the pen passes, everything changes, all paths change, and even the existence of the three Heavenly Emperors becomes illusory.

It seemed as if all the heavens and worlds, infinite time and space, were completely rewritten at this moment.

……

In the fairyland where the heaven is located, the red sun is rising and the sky is full of colorful rays of light.

The back garden of the Emperor of Heaven is full of various exotic flowers and plants, including ancient peach trees with watery and lively spirits, fruit trees with various mythical beasts hanging on them, and ancient tea trees with a faint fragrance of plants and trees.

There is also a pool of clear water, with several lotus flowers emitting a chaotic aura swaying on the water.

At this moment, two figures, a man and a woman, were walking along the bluestone path, admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden.

Finally they climbed onto a magnificent tower, from where they seemed to be able to take in the entire landscape of the heavens and the world.

The hustle and bustle of the world and the glitz of the world seem to have nothing to do with this place, as if it were a place otherworldly.

"Still no news about father?" asked the woman who exuded a holy aura.

“Although I am the Emperor of Heaven, I am not omnipotent. My father and the other two seniors sent Senior Li to a place other than the secular world. But recently, my impression of them has become increasingly vague.” The majestic man said with a little concern.

"Your memory is becoming blurry. Could it be that something happened to your father and the others?" the woman said.

"I don't know. Whether it's the fairyland or other places outside the world, they have been isolated from the heavens thousands of years ago. Moreover, the influence of the Avenue of Time is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the ordinary soldiers and generals of my heaven will be affected."

"Master Li, why does he let all living beings suffer this disaster? Isn't it good to live forever?" the woman said.

"There are pros and cons. I don't object to immortals experiencing death, but I'm worried that without reincarnation, it will lead to extremely serious consequences."

The two continued to chat about the changes in the heavens.

There is a vague feeling that a disaster is about to happen.

……

In the outer battlefield, as the mysterious ink rhyme spread, the three Heavenly Emperors all saw the threat.

This is to completely change ancient history, completely reverse cause and effect, and even alter the lives of ordinary people.

They would never allow this situation to happen, and they all used their best forbidden secret techniques in an attempt to save the heavens and the worlds from Li Zhi's graffiti.

"I am the Emperor of Heaven, and I shall put an end to the changes of the past and present."

Emperor Ye Tian roared, and infinite light emanated from his body, imprisoning the worlds of the past, present and future.

"He changes freely, he changes for eternity, all the heavens and worlds, reverse the flow and reappear."

Emperor Huang Tian, ​​on the other hand, re-imprinted the correct narrative of ancient history from the long river of time in the heavens and all realms.

"It spans the sky and the earth, and separates the real from the imaginary."

As for Chu Feng, he used his invincible method to completely isolate Mo Yun summoned by Li Zhi from the heavens.

Unfortunately, defending is often more difficult than attacking.

Just like destruction is always easier than construction.

Li Zhi's act of graffiti on eternal time and space was not so easy to be stopped, and some of the time and space scrolls were still altered by Li Zhi.

"Li Zhi, stop it now. Do you want all the spirits in the heavens and the worlds to bear the consequences of the passage of time?"

No one understood the consequences of this action better than the three Heavenly Emperors.

At that time, Gao Yuan's will forcibly changed the course of ancient history. Although it killed Emperor Huang Tian and Emperor Ye Tian, ​​it also completely exposed the number of Gao Yuan's ancestors.

This resulted in the complete destruction of the strange clan.

If he had not changed the results of ancient history, at best the six ancestors would have been killed.

There are still four ancestors left.

Even the three Heavenly Emperors could not be promoted to the level of Sacrifice.

This is the shocking cause and effect that changed the picture of ancient history.

Now, Li Zhi is also reshaping the time and space picture of the eternal heavens. Once he reshapes it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even the heavens and all the worlds may completely return to nothingness and everything will become empty.

"Eternity is fleeting, eternity is empty."

When Li Zhi finished reciting the last paragraph of the scripture, he turned into a ball of light, completely enveloping the three Heavenly Emperors.

In the brilliant holy light, pages of ancient history scrolls emerged. At the same time, those scrolls continued to fade and finally turned into lines without any color.

Even the three Heavenly Emperors were surrounded by a series of mysterious light signals.

The flickering spots of light, like countless 0s and 1s, completely return them to their original one-dimensional existence.

At this moment, in the heavens and all worlds, in the fairyland of the three Heavenly Emperors, countless living beings' memories of them began to blur, as if they had completely disappeared.

"The swords and tripods rang together, the emperor fell and the people died."

"The sky is filled with blood-red clouds, brilliant and glorious."

"Wearing armor and holding a spear, he created the world."

In the dazzling divine light, the three Heavenly Emperors surrounded by 0 and 1 also burned themselves and let out their final roar.

At this moment, countless creatures in the heavens and the worlds shed tears unconsciously.

It seemed as if one of their most beloved figures had passed away.

Only the empress standing under the Samsara Tree, looking at the battlefield outside the world, a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Perhaps at this moment, the empress recalled the tragic battlefield whose ending was changed.

And now, this scene has appeared again.

However, the person who was sent away became her former comrade-in-arms.

Under the Samsara Tree, the sound of songs could be heard faintly, and an inexplicable emotion slowly flowed to all the heavens and worlds.

"Flowers will always wither, the emperor will fall and the people will die. I will not enter the reincarnation of the mortal world, I just want to wait for you to come back. I will climb the road to heaven again to show my strength, and step on the emperor's bones and blood to welcome immortality. Who will I fight for to cover the sky with one hand, and the glory of the eternal years will appear. I will call friends and meet old friends, and the yellow flowers of yesterday are different today."
