Chapter 362 A false alarm

"How could there be three quasi-emperor level ancient chaos beasts here?"

After seeing the three ancient beasts sleeping by the Universe Lake, Li Zhi, Cang Ming and Xin Ming all chose to retreat at the same time, for fear of disturbing the three ancient beasts of chaos.

Once the ancient beasts at the quasi-emperor level attacked them, they would be torn to pieces in an instant.

Even if Li Zhi had a quasi-imperial weapon for protection, it would be of no avail.

The Quasi-Emperor and the Great Sage are two completely different life forms.

The gap in strength between them is like an insurmountable chasm.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Great Sage controls the supreme imperial soldiers, he may not be able to escape unscathed when facing a true quasi-emperor.

What's more, there are three ancient chaotic beasts here whose true strength is unknown.

Those who can become quasi-emperors are all peerless geniuses, and there is no obvious gap in their talents at all.

When one reaches the quasi-emperor level, it is basically rare for the weak to defeat the strong.

Except for those unreasonable existences, even most emperors cannot fight across realms when they are in the quasi-emperor realm.

At most, they can fight when there is a difference of one or two small realms.

However, when it comes to the late stage of Quasi-Emperor (above the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor), it is extremely difficult to cross a small realm to fight a great battle.

The strongest among the three of them, Li Zhi, was only at the sixth level of the Saint King realm. Even if he was at the sixth level of the Great Saint realm, there was no possibility of winning when facing a Quasi-Emperor.

The quasi-emperor, with the word "emperor" in it, is naturally completely different from the cultivators at the "saint" level.

Any quasi-emperor can crush the Great Sage in all aspects.

No matter whether this great sage has a holy body or a Taoist fetus, or an innate holy body or a Taoist fetus, or even a chaotic body.

As long as you haven't become a quasi-emperor, there is no possibility of winning head-on when facing a quasi-emperor.

The three of them retreated all the way to the edge of the Ancient Chaos Road before stopping. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they sensed no signs of the three ancient beasts awakening.

"It seems that we will never have the chance to visit the Universe Lake." Xin Ming said with a look of fear.

After risking their lives and going through untold hardships, they found the Cosmic Lake. However, before they even touched a drop of water in the Lake, they discovered that it was completely unusable.

This feeling is really depressing.

However, there are three quasi-emperor-level ancient chaos beasts guarding the lakeside. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot ensure their own safety.

The cosmic lake at this moment feels exactly the same as the elixirs of immortality planted in the forbidden zone of life.

You can watch it from a distance but don't play with it.

It is painful that good fortune is right before our eyes, giving us hope of breaking free from the shackles, but we are unable to make use of it.

Cangming is a star giant with the blood of chaotic gods and demons flowing in his body. The blood of chaotic gods and demons in his body can only allow his physique to reach its current level.

Even though his physical body is almost the same as Li Zhi's now, once Li Zhi's cultivation level reaches the same level as his, his physical advantage will no longer exist.

However, with the help of the power of creation contained in the Universe Lake, the chaotic blood of gods and demons in his body can be sublimated, making him even more powerful.

It might even be possible to become a true Chaos God or Demon in the future.

Xin Ming of the God Clan wants to break the shackles of his bloodline and refine the divine blood in his body into the true blood of the God King. The difficulty is no less than that of Cang Ming.

Especially for some monks who are born powerful, it is much more difficult to complete the transformation of their own bloodlines than for ordinary monks.

The amount of luck that Li Zhi consumed to transform his bloodline to its current level would shock even a great sage.

He had used several kinds of the essence of the elixir of immortality, which directly led to an astonishing transformation of his potential.

The Universe Lake is a treasure land that can release the supreme potential dormant in Li Zhi's body.

"That's not right. Although this place is an ancient chaotic continent, the area of ​​this ancient chaotic continent is not very large, only ten thousand miles in radius. Moreover, although there is some chaotic essence mixed in the chaotic energy, there is no chaotic immortal essence. It seems that the three ancient beasts have been sleeping there for a long time, but with the innate environment of this place, how could it be possible to breed three supreme quasi-emperors at the same time?"

Not long after, Cangming, the starry sky giant, seemed to have thought of something and said the above words.

"It's a bit unreasonable. It's been tens of thousands of years since our God Clan had a great sage who could cross that natural barrier. Although the cultivation environment here is superior, it is still inferior to the ancestral land of our God Clan." Xin Ming also spoke up.

For a race as powerful as the gods, it is extremely rare for two quasi-emperors to be born in the same period.

That is to say, only when the golden age of cultivation arrives will there be such a grand occasion.

Having two quasi-emperors in one family is something worth showing off in the entire universe.

Quasi-Emperors are different from Great Sages. Even in the golden age of cultivation, there are not many cultivators who can become Quasi-Emperors.

On ordinary days, even in an ancient star field of life for tens of thousands of years, it is not necessarily possible to give birth to a quasi-emperor.

If the suppression of the universe is severe during a period of time, the number of quasi-emperors that can be born in the entire universe will be even smaller, sometimes so small that they can be counted on one hand.

Now, the suppression of heaven and earth has just ended, and the Golden Age has not yet truly evolved into a prosperous period, but three quasi-emperors have been born in the same place. This is an extremely incredible thing.

Cangming and Xin Ming could both sense the differences and rationalities of the three quasi-emperor ancient beasts, and Li Zhi naturally also sensed the strangeness of the three ancient beasts.

The quasi-emperor aura on them did not feel like the aura emanating from a living quasi-emperor. Instead, it was similar to the quasi-emperor aura emanating from the quasi-emperor-level holy spirit flesh and blood in Li Zhi's collection.

"There's definitely something wrong."

Recalling carefully the true form of the ancient beast he had just seen, Li Zhi, who was extremely sensitive to vitality and death, discovered that the death energy in their bodies seemed to be too strong. They looked like creatures that had walked out of the underworld, and their flesh faintly exuded an aura of eternal vicissitudes.

It seems as if their bodies have existed for a very long time.

After the three of them talked to each other, Cangming said, "Could it be that they are not normal life forms, but creatures evolved from the remains of the quasi-emperor after they became spiritual beings?"

Cangming himself held a quasi-emperor's hand that was still somewhat active, and was particularly sensitive to the breath of the quasi-emperor's flesh and blood.

"Maybe there is such a possibility." Li Zhi nodded.

"Should we go over and investigate again?" Xin Ming said. "You two stay here and wait for me. I'll go and investigate their true strength alone." Then Li Zhi said to Cangming and Xin Ming.

Among the three of them, Li Zhi had the most powerful magical powers, so the other two naturally would not object if Li Zhi spoke.

"Senior (fellow Taoist), please be careful." Xin Ming and Cang Ming said almost at the same time.

Afterwards, Li Zhi blocked all his energy and, like a stubborn stone, reached out to the Universe Lake again.

When he came to a place a hundred miles away from the three sleeping ancient beasts, Li Zhi took out a mirror emitting the aura of chaos. It was the Chaos Body Mirror made from the immortal platform materials of the Chaos Body.

Possessing the magical ability to illuminate the origin of all things.

The form of a living being can be reflected from the level of Tao.

Li Zhi quietly took out the Chaos Mirror, and then began to activate it to absorb the chaotic essence around it, making the mirror's reflective ability even stronger.

Gradually, images of the laws of three ancient beasts appeared on the mirror.

But at this moment, the three sleeping ancient beasts seemed to sense something and suddenly turned over their bodies.

"Boom!"

The chaotic energy around him exploded instantly, turning into a chaotic storm that spread in all directions.

It's like putting a whale in a pond. If the whale turns over slightly, it will cause huge waves in the pond.

Li Zhi took advantage of the chaos storm and fled far away.

After returning to the edge of the ancient Chaos Continent, Li Zhi took out the Chaos Illumination Realm.

Then he observed the scene he had just captured with Cangming and Xinming.

I saw three strange ancient beasts appear on the mirror. They looked like real ancient beasts, but there was a place in their bodies that was very inharmonious with their bodies.

One of the ancient beasts, which was shaped like a Teng Snake, had an area shaped like a human arm appearing in its body. The fluctuations of the laws of the Tao it emitted were completely different from the fluctuations of the laws in other places.

Another ancient beast that looks like a dragon turtle has only a few pieces of its shell that have quasi-emperor level law fluctuations, while the law fluctuations in other places are only at the peak level of the Saint King.

Finally, the ancient beast that looked like a pterosaur, its two wings emitted fluctuations of the laws of the quasi-emperor level, while other parts of the body emitted fluctuations of the laws of the mid-stage Saint King level.

Seeing that some areas on the bodies of the three ancient beasts in the mirror appeared particularly bright, Cangming and Xin Ming didn't know what this meant.

Li Zhi explained to them, "These three ancient beasts are not Quasi-Emperors. Only a part of their bodies has the characteristics of Quasi-Emperors. The entire cultivation level of these three ancient beasts should be at the level of Saint King. The ancient beast that looks like a flying snake is the strongest, followed by a dragon turtle, and the pterosaur is the lowest. If I am not mistaken, the reason why they have the aura of Quasi-Emperors is because their bodies are the remains of Quasi-Emperors transformed through spiritualization."

Although the three sleeping ancient beasts were not quasi-emperors, or even great sages, because they possessed active quasi-emperor laws in their bodies, their true combat power was far beyond that of the holy beast kings, and even more terrifying than most great sages.

"The remains of a corpse can be psychic? It can even transform again. How can such an incredible existence appear?" After understanding the nature of the three ancient beasts, Cangming said with a puzzled look on his face.

They are all well-informed people. It is well known that after the corpse of a strong man becomes spiritual, it can transform into a ghost god and embark on the path of cultivation again.

However, they had never encountered a corpse that could transform into another form after the spiritual session, and that transformed into a creature that had nothing to do with the original body.

Moreover, the corpses of those with spiritual abilities often need to be kept relatively intact and buried in extremely dark places, so that they have a chance to "come back to life" and become dark gods.

However, there is no area in this ancient chaotic land that looks like an extremely yin place.

The origins and existence of these three ancient beasts left the three people a little confused.

“Maybe I know the answer.”

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Xin Ming, who was born into the God Clan, said somewhat uncertainly.

"Tell me about it." Li Zhi said quickly. Xin Ming was born in the God Clan, and his status in the God Clan was not low. He should be able to access many ancient books that he had never seen before. Maybe he knew what kind of existence these three ancient beasts were.

"I have seen a record in a legend passed down from the mythological era in our clan. In the distant ancient times, there were immortal corpses that were able to communicate with spirits and transform into new forms. If the corpses of those below the level of immortals want to be able to communicate with spirits and transform into other forms, they need the help of a precious medicine called Yitaicao." Xin Ming told him everything he knew.

"Yifei Grass? What is that?" Cangming asked with a puzzled look on his face. He was also a Saint King who had traveled to countless star regions. He had heard of all kinds of rare spiritual medicines produced in the universe, but he had never heard of this kind of spiritual medicine.

Li Zhi inherited the medicine-growing legacy of the ancient Taoist longevity master. He also collected countless pieces of knowledge about spiritual medicines on the ancient Beidou star. However, he had never heard of a spiritual medicine called Yitaicao.

"I haven't seen the Yitai Grass either, but the story describes that the Yitai Grass is an innate elixir born in the chaotic fairyland. This elixir has neither the ability to increase cultivation nor the effect of increasing lifespan, but it can allow the person who takes the elixir to have their body reshaped from the origin, as if they have gone through the process of gestation from the embryo again, and finally shape a physical form that best conforms to the divine form of the Great Dao." Xin Ming said again.

There are magical powers in the world that can change the appearance of a cultivator, but it is impossible to change the form from the source of life.

It’s like a demon can transform into a human form, but his original body still looks like a demon beast.

What changes is only the physical form, not the original form of the Tao.

It is just like a human being, whose origin will not change into the form of a dog or a bird because of practicing.

"If there really is such a precious medicine, wouldn't I be able to reshape my true body as a god or demon?" Cang Ming said in shock after listening to Xin Ming's introduction.

Cangming's true form as a starry sky giant is not the true form of the god and demon bloodline he inherited. The real god and demon true form is an ancient beast with six arms, a dragon head, a human body, and a soaring snake tail, not a human form like the starry sky giant.

"In the story, the Yifei Grass needs to grow in a real chaotic fairyland with fairy energy. Although there is chaotic energy here, it is not a real chaotic fairyland. It should not be able to breed the legendary Yifei Grass." Xin Ming shook his head.

"No matter how they became what they are now, if we want to use the Universe Lake to practice, we must get rid of them." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have a secret method that can temporarily revive the corpse of the quasi-emperor and unleash some of the power it had before birth. I wonder if you could take out the remains of the quasi-emperor that you collected before and lend it to me?" Cangming thought for a moment and said to Li Zhi.

"Okay." Li Zhi nodded directly.

"I have the secret technique of the gods, which can activate the divinity in the blood of the remains of the Chaos God or Demon. Perhaps I can provide some assistance." Xin Ming also spoke at this moment.

“In that case, I will set up a Chaos Killing Array just in case. There is no shortage of Chaos Energy here, so we can maximize the power of the Chaos Killing Array.” Li Zhi said finally.

After reaching a consensus, the three of them began to get busy. To deal with the three ancient chaotic beasts that were suspected to be able to mobilize the power of the quasi-emperor law, it was necessary to make as much preparation as possible.

And you also need to prepare a complete escape plan.

If they were able to exert the true power of a quasi-emperor, then Li Zhi and the others would have no choice but to escape immediately.

When everything was ready, they came to the shore of the Universe Lake again.
