Chapter 338 Fellow Taoist, please stay.
The stars are shining and the sky is dark.
Li Zhi and the commander-in-chief of the first city of the human race stood deep in the outer space.
The commander-in-chief was clad in iron armor and holding a black-gold spear. He looked like a god of war born for killing.
Even the gray hair that fell on his temples exuded a murderous aura.
The aura of the Ninth Heaven Saint was undoubtedly displayed.
Opposite him, Li Zhi's Taoist robe had turned into a silver-white battle suit, and the silver dragon whisk in his hand had turned into a golden stick.
The fighting spirit rose, and the void around him was trembling faintly. The qi and blood in his body were roaring like a great river. A hundred-foot-long blood-red dragon, formed entirely by the power of qi and blood, was constantly circling in the void behind him.
"war!"
There was a loud explosion in the starry sky, and Li Zhi started a fierce battle with the commander-in-chief of the First City.
As the golden stick danced, Li Zhi seemed to be holding a golden dragon in his hand.
The black-gold spear in the commander-in-chief's hand was not inferior at all. His iron-blooded murderous aura and thousands of years of accumulated combat experience had brought his combat skills to perfection.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Countless asteroids around them turned into cosmic dust because of their battle.
Even when standing in the first city of the human race, you can look up and see a black meteor deep in the starry sky colliding with a golden meteor.
Soon, countless powerful people in the first city of the human race sensed the fierce battle taking place deep in the starry sky.
"Who is fighting there?" Many people looked puzzled.
"It looks like the commander-in-chief." Some soldiers guarding the city recognized the unique fighting spirit belonging to the commander-in-chief.
"Are enemies coming to attack the first city of the human race?" Many people showed concerns.
"The person who fought with the commander-in-chief was the mysterious long-lived Taoist." Someone among the trial-takers set up a small sky-reaching magic formation to observe the battle taking place deep in the outer space.
"What a terrifying fighting power, he is actually on par with the commander-in-chief. Didn't he suffer a great loss of power on the Saint Fallen Island?"
"Who is this person? How can he be so terrifying? Is it really necessary for us to continue on our journey with him here?"
In the first city of the human race, there were cultivators everywhere looking up at the battle.
At this moment, the starry sky battlefield changed again.
Li Zhi's body began to grow rapidly, and he directly turned into a giant over a hundred feet tall. His aura became several times more terrifying.
It was like performing the secret of the word "皆".
"This is... the Dharmakāya's true body. How could it be him?"
Many people showed doubts. The sage's Dharma image was a unique combat form of the sage-level strong, but the general Dharma images were powerful beasts or immortals. Few people would use themselves as a Dharma image.
"No, that's not the Dharmakāya's true body, but his true body of flesh and blood." Someone soon saw through the truth of the matter and exclaimed.
"How is this possible? How can a human body grow to such a large size?" Unfortunately, the truth is often hard to accept.
"The body becomes larger as the level of cultivation increases. This is usually the case with ancient monsters. Why would a human's body also become larger as the level of cultivation increases?" Many people were filled with doubts.
In the City Lord's Mansion, beside the guide stood three saint kings from ancient local families.
They were also watching the battle between Li Zhi and the commander-in-chief.
"Martial arts true body. He actually cultivated the legendary martial arts true body. This person does not have any aura of special physique, why does he give me the feeling that he is stronger than all the cultivators with special physiques?" said an old patriarch of an ancient family.
"This person is extraordinary. Those peerless geniuses ahead may have a rival." Another old patriarch of an ancient family said with a gleam in his eyes.
"The Burial Emperor Star is indeed full of talented people. Although I can't tell the origin of this longevity Taoist, the girl is probably from the Taoist tradition left by the Western Queen Mother - the Yaochi Holy Land. I can sense the aura of the Supreme Emperor's weapon from her protective divine tower. It should be the Western Queen Tower carefully imitated by the Great Sage."
“Even the descendants of an ancient Taoist tradition like the Yaochi Holy Land have once again set foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Road. It seems that this life is truly extraordinary.”
"The girl's performance was not unexpected, but the performance of this longevity Taoist priest was terrifying. With his cultivation of the first level of sainthood, he could fight against the great commander of the ninth level of sainthood without losing. My dear friends, don't you understand what this means?"
"God's Forbidden Realm, he must have triggered the God's Forbidden Realm. Otherwise, even if the Great Emperor's own son came, it would be impossible for him to fight across nine small realms without being defeated."
"No, he is not a saint of the first level, but a saint of the fourth level. It's just that his magic power has regressed to the first level." At this time, the guide spoke.
As the strongest person in the first city of the human race, his vision is better than others.
When Li Zhi and his companions entered the city, he saw Li Zhi's true cultivation level, which was already at the fourth level of Sainthood.
But he didn't know why Li Zhi had to use up his fourth-level magical powers in the trial ground.
At this moment, the great war in the outer space finally came to an end.
The black-gold spear in the commander-in-chief's hand was broken by Li Zhi, and he himself was also seriously injured and unable to fight again.
Because it was just a sparring match, Li Zhi did not kill.
But this battle also took a heavy toll on him.
Li Zhi retracted his true form and turned back into a Taoist priest and said to the commander-in-chief, "Commander-in-chief Tianlang, let's stop here."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Commander-in-Chief Tianlang performed a secret healing technique, and the wounds on his body healed immediately, but the internal injuries would require some time of rest to fully recover.
He gained a lot from this battle, which made him realize the gap between himself and the true peerless genius.
Afterwards, the two of them returned directly to the first city of the human race.
That night, the commander-in-chief hosted a banquet for Li Zhi, and at the banquet he told Li Zhi about the various opportunities on the ancient human road ahead, as well as the forces that needed attention.
This can be regarded as a common sense lesson about the ancient roads of the human race for Li Zhi.
After the battle with the commander-in-chief, Li Zhi's reputation became famous on the ancient road of the human race.
In the next few days, many local families and trial participants came to visit him.
However, Li Zhi rejected them all on the grounds of cultivation.
"Changshou, don't you like to keep a low profile? Why did you accept the commander-in-chief's invitation to a fight in a high-profile manner?" The fully recovered Saint Maiden of Yao Chi came to Li Zhi's residence and asked.
"Being a person should be low-key, but doing things should be different. If I don't show strong enough strength, I will probably encounter countless harassment from cats and dogs on the road ahead." Li Zhi said.
He is not Yaoguang who needs to devour countless origins, so he doesn't need to keep a low profile.
Fame can sometimes bring huge potential benefits.
In this way, Li Zhi and his group of trial participants stayed in the first city of the human race for another five days, and the ancient horn sounded again.
The vast and distant sound of the horn summoned all the trial-takers, as if sending them to the battlefield.
Turning the ancient human race's war horn into a call to action on the road of trials seems to be telling everyone what this road really means.
Everyone hurried to the small square in the city, and the guide seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
The commander-in-chief and two teams of soldiers lined up to see everyone off.
"Senior, is there anything we need to pay attention to on the road?" a trial participant asked the guide.
"The place you are going to next is the bloody battlefield, which is a real trial ground. On that ancient battlefield, the source of Tao was born. Twenty years ago, Di Tian had obtained the source of Tao. Five years ago, Ye Fan from Beidou had also obtained the source of Tao. It is both a battlefield and a treasure land of fortune. What you can gain depends on your own luck." The guide did not speak, but the commander-in-chief introduced to everyone where they were going next.
There was hope in everyone's eyes. The Source of Tao was the legendary supreme treasure.
As long as one can integrate one, his aptitude will be greatly improved. As long as he survives in the future, he can at least achieve the fruit of a Heavenly King.
Seeing the eager expressions of the trial participants, the guide said: "Next, you need to fight to the second level. You can attack anyone. Everyone will be your enemy. Those who survive to the end will pass the level."
When these words were spoken, everyone was extremely shocked.
It seemed that they would face a killing spree without any restraint next.
A bloody storm is about to begin.
The vast majority of trial participants set their sights on Li Zhi.
They were afraid that Li Zhi would go crazy and kill them all.
"Wulian Tianzun, fellow Taoists, please stay."
Just when the guide was about to activate the teleportation array, Li Zhi suddenly shouted at the trial-takers.
As soon as this was said, the scene fell into silence.
But the next second, the crowd became restless.
In a flash, more than a hundred people retreated directly outside the small square.
It seems like they don't want to die.
But the others looked at Li Zhi with different expressions.
Li Zhi directly sensed the intention of "making you suffer" from the more than 20 people.
"May I ask Taoist Changshou, if you and I meet on the bloody battlefield, will you kill me?"
At this moment, the Fire Fairy, who always kept people at a distance, asked.
"Yes." Li Zhi said calmly.
"Thank you for telling me the truth." The Fire Fairy bowed slightly to Li Zhi, and then asked the Guide: "Senior, can I continue to stay in the First City to practice for a while?"
"Yes, but you will have to serve as a soldier guarding the city for a period of time." The guide rarely answered the trial-taker's question.
Just when everyone was amazed at the Fire Fairy's "cowardly" choice, the Sword Fairy also stood up and said, "Senior, I also urgently need a relatively safe environment to survive the tribulation."
After saying that, she also withdrew the opportunity to go to the bloody battlefield.
"Haha, Fire Fairy, Sword Fairy, you are nothing but that. You are afraid and make way for others. Why come here? You might as well turn around and go back." Someone mocked.
"Wulian Tianzun, my two Taoist friends, we will meet again later." Li Zhi was happy with the choices made by the Fire Fairy and the Sword Fairy.
They must pass the first level of the human race and become saints, and then continue on their way, so that they will not die prematurely on the road of trials that follow.
"I would like to say something to you two Taoist friends. If you want to go far on the road of the Great Dao, knowing yourself is far more important than defeating your opponent. The human ancestor and the human clan have clearly told us that only by defeating ourselves can we avoid regrets on the road of the Great Dao. I wish you two Taoist friends a smooth journey."
Before Li Zhi set foot on the ancient starry road opened by the five-colored altar, Li Zhi sent a message to the Fire Fairy and Xuan Jian.
Their choice is undoubtedly correct.
Perhaps staying in the first level of the human race for ten years can allow them to avoid the impending disaster ahead.
Their skills are too low, and going on the road too early will only lead to their death.
"Long live the Taoist priest, we will meet again later."
Fire Fairy and Black Sword Fairy both felt the warning in Li Zhi's words.
It seems that if they go on the road with Li Zhi, they will really die along the way.
Afterwards, Li Zhi and the more than one hundred people disappeared together at the first level of the human race.
The stars move and time and space change.
Soon, Li Zhi appeared on a battlefield filled with murderous aura.
The earth seemed to be soaked in fresh holy blood, exuding a strong murderous intent.
Li Zhi instantly sensed the location of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi and appeared beside her in a flash.
After the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi saw Li Zhi, the wariness between her brows dissipated a little.
"Changshou, why did you ask them to stay just now?"
The Saint of Yao Chi knew that Li Zhi had never been a pushover, and he would not feel any psychological burden when it came to killing people.
"Because their existence blocked my way, God is merciful, and I need to give them a chance. Those who stayed in the First City chose to live, and those who came to the bloody battlefield chose to die." Li Zhi said calmly.
"Are you really planning to kill all those people?" Yao Chi Saint Maiden asked with a little surprise.
"Isn't it possible?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
"But..." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi wanted to say that too much killing would harm the harmony of nature, but the words could not come out of her mouth.
Li Zhi said, "Remember what the guide said. Life and death are determined by fate, and it is your own choice. Let's go, it's time to act."
Afterwards, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi went to look for other trial-takers.
At the same time, more than twenty trial participants had gathered together to discuss the plan to set up an array to kill Li Zhi.
But there are more debates.
"Let's just focus on dealing with Wang Yao. That Taoist Changshou is too terrifying. He was able to defeat the commander-in-chief of the First City. His strength is extraordinary. I'm afraid we don't have enough confidence to force him into the killing array."
"No, that Taoist Changshou must die. His existence is too great a threat to us."
"But, there is no saint among us. Who can confront him head-on?"
"Then cooperate with the local forces. It is said that there are forces such as the Demon Kingdom, the God Kingdom, and the Spirit Kingdom here. We can cooperate with them."
"That's all."
While they were discussing how to deal with Li Zhi, Li Zhi was already saying to people everywhere, "Fellow Taoist, please stay."
Almost every trial-taker who hears "Fellow Daoist, please stay" will die on the spot in the next second.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay," sounded in every ancient battlefield, as if it was a devil's voice reaping lives.
Wherever they went, all living creatures were wiped out, not only the trial-takers, but even the native creatures were no exception as long as they stepped into the battlefield.
Seeing Li Zhi harvesting lives indiscriminately, the eyelids of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi beside him twitched, as if she could not accept Li Zhi's indiscriminate killing.
Unfortunately, since Li Zhi has decided to kill all the trial-takers who enter the bloody battlefield, he will never stop.
This is not just about killing people, Li Zhi is also using their lives to verify a hypothesis.
Their deaths are valuable and will never be in vain.
