Chapter 372 The Gift of Life

"Wow, wow..."

The turbulent land of Star Coast suddenly became quiet after Li Zhi killed the enemy with great force.

Only the roaring sound coming from the Tianzun Sea of ​​Bitterness reminded everyone of the cruelty of the mythical ancient hunting ground.

I thought that the truly peerless genius had already entered the other side of God.

But no one expected that a "madman" would suddenly jump out today.

They actually slaughtered the geniuses of various races just for some monsters. This action really made many people unable to understand the reason behind it.

In the eyes of most cultivators, slaughtering all living beings in a place of life for the sake of practicing is not something to be despised, and it can even be regarded as a synonym for strength.

But now, suddenly a "madman" jumped out from nowhere, shouted the ridiculous childish slogan "Life needs to be protected, soul needs to be purified", and then risked offending dozens of major clans in the starry sky and ruthlessly killed the outstanding descendants of each clan.

In the eyes of most people, Li Zhi's actions are childish.

Some cultivators who saw Li Zhi's extraordinary aura and wanted to go up and make friends with him stopped and even subconsciously moved away from the starry sky where Li Zhi was.

After killing those cultivators who slaughtered all living things in the Beast Domain small world, Li Zhi put away the White Bone Beheading Platform.

At the same time, the divine ring behind his head, which was faintly emitting nine-colored light, immediately released golden light, smashing the bodies of the murderers into pieces.

Died under the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine, their holy origin had already been completely devoured by the guillotine, and then their bodies turned into runes of the Great Dao on the Bone-Slaying Immortal Platform.

"Soul, peace!"

After landing on a deserted star island, Li Zhi began to chant scriptures to the magic ring given by all spirits.

Moreover, the content of the sutra he recited was not the "Hou Tu Wangsheng Sutra" which he created, but the "Ling Bao Tianzun Salvation Sutra".

As the chanting sounded, the originally white divine ring began to evolve into golden color, as if it was about to evolve into the legendary golden wheel of merit.

At this moment, Li Zhi's soul was also reciting scriptures, the content of which was the chapter about soul cultivation in "The Great Way of Longevity Sutra".

The Golden Wheel of Merit gradually began to melt as Li Zhi chanted, turning into a ball of mysterious golden liquid.

Then, Li Zhi injected a ball of Xuanhuang essence into the golden liquid of merit, and the liquid of merit condensed into a golden nine-story divine tower on the spot.

On each floor of the tower, there are countless ancient beast patterns engraved, including various dragon-like monsters, various phoenix-like monsters, and various strange insects and beasts...

There is a mysterious Taoist aura emanating from the Golden Pagoda of Merit, which seems to be able to make people's souls peaceful and their minds clear.

After seeing Li Zhi refining weapons in the void, many powerful men showed doubts and could not understand what kind of weapons Li Zhi was refining.

"This is... the legendary divine weapon of merit. There is actually someone who can refine a divine weapon of merit." Finally, a few monks from ancient races in the universe saw a little bit of the truth about the divine tower and showed expressions of extreme shock.

"Senior, what is the divine weapon of merit? Why have we never heard of such a weapon in the world?" Some young monks asked.

“The Divine Weapon of Merit is extremely rare throughout the ages. Even in the mythological era, there were only rumors about it, but no authentic Divine Weapon of Merit has ever been seen. It is even rarer than immortal weapons.” The old saint king who came from an ancient race explained.

"Why is this? Didn't the Taoist just now succeed in refining it?" Some young monks were filled with doubts in their eyes.

"The divine weapon of merit is completely different from ordinary weapons. It seems to contain the power of all spirits and can be called an innate defensive treasure. The stronger the power of merit, the stronger the defense. If there are enough merits, it can even withstand the attack of the ultimate imperial weapon. And it does not limit the user's cultivation. It can absorb merits and evolve autonomously." The old saint king who came from the Shiyuan clan continued to speak.

"Senior, if the Merit Divine Weapon is so magical, why has no one practiced to refine it?" another young saint asked.

“Because the power of merit is extremely difficult to obtain, the ability of ordinary cultivators to collect a trace of merit is already the limit. It is almost impossible to collect enough merit to transform into a divine ring like the other party.

Merit is essentially a variant of the power of faith, or the source. Only a gift from the true spirit of a living being can produce a little bit of merit. If you want to sacrifice and refine such a merit tower, you may need the true spirit gifts of hundreds of millions of living beings to make it possible.

But even if the ancient emperors could collect massive amounts of the power of faith, they were unable to extract the power of merit from the power of faith.

According to legend, the Buddha Amitabha was very compassionate and never engaged in mortal killing. He only collected a small amount of merit power that could only cover his fist, which was not enough to make a merit weapon. In the end, he could only integrate the merit power into the Seven Treasures Pond of Buddhism, turning the Seven Treasures Pond into the Eight Treasures Merit Pond. "After the introduction, the old saint king sighed with infinite emotion.

The old Saint King continued, "Although the Merit Golden Tower is less than a foot high, it is enough to match the defensive power of a holy weapon handed down from generation to generation, and it is an integrated defense inside and outside. It is suspended above the head and can only be broken by the supreme saint. Moreover, it is said that the Merit Divine Weapon has infinite magical uses. If you use it to protect your soul and enlighten the Tao, the cultivator will not be at risk of going astray and can evolve the myriad ways of heaven and earth without any worries."

"It's so precious, how did he do it?"

Afterwards, many people looked at Li Zhi with greedy eyes.

Unfortunately, no one dared to step forward and take the lead.

Just now, Li Zhi killed more than forty-eight saints in one move. It was too terrifying.

After the chanting stopped, the Golden Pagoda of Merit was completely shaped and then taken into the fairy platform by Li Zhi.

If one could incorporate enough of the essence of Heaven and Earth into one's merits, or directly merge it with the root of Heaven and Earth, perhaps in the future there would be a chance to refine it into the number one defensive treasure in the universe.

Let the first defensive treasure of the ancient world, the Linglong Pagoda of Mysterious Heaven and Earth, reappear on earth.

To be honest, Li Zhi was very curious about what the imperial weapons of the Lord of Morality were in the mythological era.
It could be an exquisite pagoda, a diamond bracelet, or the legendary Tai Chi diagram.

After taking the Golden Pagoda of Merit back to the immortal platform, the sacred aura on Li Zhi's body suddenly dissipated, and the divine light that enveloped his body also gradually dissipated.

After Li Zhi revealed his true appearance, many cultivators immediately exclaimed, "He is actually a human cultivator."

"The human race is indeed a race with both high upper and low limits. The weak ones are extremely weak, but the strong ones are beyond imagination. I wonder who this person is."

Li Zhi's appearance is extremely unfamiliar to cultivators of most races.

Few of the monks present knew him.

Although most cultivators could see Li Zhi's background, few dared to step forward and greet him.

Half a day passed like this, and Li Zhi sat on the Star Island, silently comprehending the mysteries of the Golden Pagoda of Merit.

Life is indeed the greatest miracle in the world.

Even after death, such precious power of merit can be born.

No wonder a powerful emperor could use the life essence of all spirits to repair the cracks on the immortal platform.

At the same time, the "Hou Tu Rebirth Sutra" he brought from his previous life also gave him a new understanding.

I originally thought that it was just a simple scripture for salvation, but I didn't expect that I could gain some merit from the person being saved. As time goes by, the merit I can gain will be considerable.

Perhaps Li Zhizhen might have sent those true spirits to reincarnation, and thus received the gift of merit.

My understanding of life is probably still at a very low level.

Then, Li Zhi stood up from the Star Island and looked at the bitter sea in the distance.

The sea of ​​suffering was boundless and pitch black. Standing on the Star Island on the shore, Li Zhi could not see where the other side was at all.

It seems that the only way to cross the sea is with the help of those ancient ships drifting in the sea of ​​suffering.

"Who killed my grandson?"

At this moment, the roar of the Great Sage suddenly came from the dark starry sky.

The terrifying aura caused many people to start to avoid it.

A blood bat ten thousand feet in size transformed into a streak of blood-red light and rushed in from outside the Mythological Ancient Hunting Area.

"It's going to be a good show. The human race's protector, Taoist Qinghuang, exhausted his life five years ago and passed away in this mythical ancient hunting area. Another human race protector at the level of a great saint also entered the other side of the gods three years ago. I'm afraid this human race's genius will shed blood in the mythical ancient hunting area."

Many people thought secretly in their hearts.

With an extraordinary being like Li Zhi competing with them for the ancient ship in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, they knew they had no ability to snatch the ancient ship from Li Zhi.

Now that the Blood Bat Great Sage has returned, they see an opportunity. "Perhaps I can use the strength of the Great Sage of the Second Heaven to measure my current combat power." Seeing the Blood Bat Great Sage rushing towards him aggressively, Li Zhi thought to himself.

Although his cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Saint King realm, whether it was his physical body, his soul, or the strength of the laws of the great Dao, he was almost 98% as powerful as an innate chaotic body at the same level.

In the field of Saint King, except for a handful of people in the entire universe, there are probably few people who can be his opponent.

However, those who could rival him had already reached the level of Great Sage or even Quasi-Emperor.

"Old Bat, are you looking for this poor Taoist?"

Li Zhi took a step forward and came in front of the Blood Bat Great Sage, looked at him calmly and said.

"You killed my grandson?"

For some reason, the Blood Bat Great Sage felt a strong sense of threat from Li Zhi, and his overwhelming momentum was instantly restrained.

After retracting the blood bat's true form, it turned into an old man wearing a dark red robe.

The blood-red hair on the old man's head was tied up with a black bat crown, making him look sinister and vicious from the soul.

"Okay, okay, okay. Today I will extract the soul and refine the spirit of you, a human child." Seeing that Li Zhi had no fear at all, the eyes of the Blood Bat Great Sage immediately turned red.

"Bat Claw!"

Then he waved towards Li Zhi and struck out with a divine claw that was filled with blood and murderous aura.

"when!"

The moment the terrifying divine claws were about to touch Li Zhi's body, it was as if they had hit a golden bell, making a crisp impact sound.

At the same time, a layer of mysterious golden light flashed outside Li Zhi's body.

"The Golden Pagoda of Merit is indeed a defensive treasure. It can even block the attacks of the Great Sage with ease." Li Zhixin thought.

After testing the attack power of the Blood Bat Great Sage, Li Zhi no longer hesitated.

A golden stick instantly appeared in his hand and he attacked directly towards the Blood Bat Great Sage.

“You actually have a treasure to protect you. Even if you have the emperor’s weapon to protect you, I will still kill you today.” A magic knife with bloody murderous aura immediately appeared in the hands of the Blood Bat Great Sage.

The dark red blade seemed to have endless waves of blood surging, and a huge amount of murderous aura emanated from the bloodthirsty magic sword, as if hundreds of millions of lives had died at the hands of this magic sword.

"How dare you use the flesh and blood of hundreds of millions of lives to refine weapons? You deserve to be killed." Li Zhi felt the unique blood and energy fluctuations of the human race on the bloodthirsty devil knife.

It seems that no less than a million humans died at the hands of this evil weapon.

"One blow splits the sky, one stick breaks the sky."

Without saying anything, Li Zhi used his strongest attack method to attack the Blood Bat Great Sage.

"How dare a mere Saint King act wildly in front of me?" The Blood Bat Great Saint did not seem to take Li Zhi seriously. He did not sense any kind of Daoist blood unique to the human race from Li Zhi's blood fluctuations.

"boom!"

But after the two sides collided, the Blood Bat Great Sage discovered that Li Zhi's power was too strong, even stronger than his.

A blow of the stick nearly knocked him away.

"What a strong magic weapon. It belongs to me now."

After stabilizing his body, the Blood Bat Great Sage looked at the golden stick in Li Zhi's hand with shining eyes.

It seems that the material Li Zhi used to cast his weapons is much better than the Blood Sea Magic Iron he used.

"So much nonsense, look at the stick!"

Li Zhi continued to attack the Blood Bat Great Sage. When the golden stick cut through the sky, it left behind a series of golden sky curtains.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage.

"Is the golden staff in the hands of the human Taoist made of Dao Jie gold? Why can it collide with the Great Saint Soldier without being at a disadvantage?"

As the war continued, many monks who were watching from afar discovered that the weapon in Li Zhi's hand seemed to be tougher than the bloodthirsty magic sword that the Blood Bat Great Sage had been refining for thousands of years.

"It's not Daojie gold, but its solidity seems to have surpassed Daojie gold." Even some senior masters who are already quite old could not tell what material the golden stick in Li Zhi's hand was made of.

"This human Taoist is too powerful. With only the eighth level of Saint King, how can he fight against the Blood Bat Great Saint?"

As the battle continued, Li Zhifen did not fall into a disadvantage, but became more and more courageous, which made many Saint Kings present feel incredible.

"Old Bat, you can't even take down a human Saint King. Do you want me to do it for you?"

At this moment, the breath of a great sage was heard again in the starry sky, and it seemed that he was acquainted with the Blood Bat Great Sage.

"Blue Gold Great Sage, why is he here? The Minglan Main Star is not very close to here." Someone recognized the identity of the newcomer. He was a young great sage who was born on the Minglan Main Star a hundred years ago.

The Blue Gold Great Sage is less than two thousand years old. Compared with the Great Sage's eight thousand years of lifespan, he is still very young.

"I'm afraid this human Taoist is in great danger."

When they saw the second great sage appear, many people felt sorry for Li Zhi.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi was not panicked at all.

Not to mention that he had a quasi-emperor divine weapon to protect him, even if he only relied on his own combat power, he found that the Blood Bat Great Sage did not seem to be much stronger than him.

As long as the stalemate continues, he believes that as long as his combat power undergoes a transformation, he will have a chance to kill the opponent.

"If you have help, then come along. I have nothing to fear."

Li Zhi glanced at the Blue Gold Great Sage, whose level of cultivation seemed not higher than that of the Blood Bat Great Sage, and shouted with great pride.

Perhaps with the help of the pressure from the two great saints, they could force him to stand in the forbidden area more quickly.

Ever since he was able to trigger the divine ban, Li Zhi has been unable to find an opportunity to stand in the divine ban area.

His intuition told him that if he could rely on his own strength to kill the two great saints in the Mythological Ancient Hunting Area, he might be able to break through that ceiling and completely squeeze his entire body into the forbidden area of ​​the gods.

In the past, triggering the divine ban was like half of your body entering the forbidden area.

Although it can trigger an exponential increase in combat power, it cannot truly and freely wield the power of the forbidden realm.

If you can truly stand within the forbidden area, you can trigger the divine ban at any time without repeated attempts.

Seeing Li Zhi's arrogance, Blood Bat Great Sage felt a deep anger in his heart.

"Blood Bat Kills God!"

Then he transformed into his original form and fought a fierce battle with Li Zhi, and used the most powerful secret technique of the bloodthirsty demon bat clan.

Countless terrifying and piercing sounds pressed towards Li Zhi from all directions, as if they wanted to use the sound to shake apart Li Zhi's blood and then devour his essence.

Fortunately, Li Zhi's physical body had already reached the Great Sage level, and his essence and blood had been condensed to the extreme, and he was not affected by those evil sounds at all.

"One stick settles the sky!"

Then, Li Zhi used the sublimated Taoist method of the Black Tortoise Strike among the Four Sky-Splitting Strike.
