Chapter 381: Turmoil on the Extraterritorial Battlefield

After leaving my hometown for more than a hundred years, I now return to Beidou, feeling a little homesick.

The ancient star Beidou seemed to have become Li Zhi’s real hometown.

When he left the Earth, he never missed his hometown. Perhaps he felt in his subconscious that the Earth was not his hometown. He even had a feeling of breaking free from shackles and being reborn.

Now Li Zhi not only has a temple in Beidou, but also a daughter and disciples. Perhaps it is because of them that he has some concerns in his heart.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, who was standing on the bow deck with Li Zhi, seemed even more excited.

She had been away from home for over a hundred years and had experienced countless life-and-death battles, traveling through blood and sweat all the way. If she hadn't had the quasi-imperial weapon to protect her, she didn't know how many times she would have died.

Most of the many good friends she made along the way fell on the blood-stained ancient road, leaving her mentally exhausted.

Although she met Li Zhi at the latter part of the ancient road, Li Zhi was not able to relieve her fatigue.

Only by returning to Yaochi, to the familiar environment where she grew up, can she completely resolve all the negative emotions accumulated in her heart.

The closer they got to the ancient star Beidou, the more excited they became.

There was even a faint resonance with the ancient Big Dipper. The more one could feel its might and grandeur, the more one could feel the exhilaration of waking up from dormancy and slumber.

Although they have not yet reached the ancient star, they can faintly feel the roaring sounds between the sky and the earth of Beidou.

The heaven and earth revived, the Tao came to the earth, all kinds of vital energy surged, and the entire ancient star completely recovered from the withered state in the ancient times. From afar, it looked like a fairyland.

The five ancient lands exude a mighty aura that seems to draw all the energy from the heavens to nourish the land of Beidou, as if they are flying like fairies, straight to the fairyland.

The aura of the Ancient Emperor and the Great Emperor was faintly visible, and was more awe-inspiring than any ancient life star they had ever seen in the universe.

Carefully feeling the aura of the emperor emanating from the ancient star Beidou, one even feels as if there is a real emperor lurking on the ancient star. That aura is ethereal and profound, like the way of heaven.

Perhaps it is because there are too many ancient emperors and great kings lurking in the forbidden zone of life that the ancient star Beidou has become extremely extraordinary.

The interstellar battleship under his feet did not continue to jump forward in the void, but instead relied on its own speed to head towards the ancient star Beidou.

Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi were in a good mood and appreciated the process of gradually approaching the ancient star of Beidou, as if they were running into the arms of their mother.

"Changshou, is there anything you want to do after we go back?" The Saint of Yao Chi turned her head and asked Li Zhi with a smile.

"There's nothing I really want to do. After traveling on the Ancient Trial Road for over a hundred years, what I want to do most now is to go back and enjoy life." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"When you are free, you can bring your disciples and Xian'er to visit Yao Chi. When the ancient Big Dipper Star revives, many of the magnificent sights in my Yao Chi Holy Land should also revive..."

Before the Saint of Yao Chi could finish her words, Li Zhi felt a powerful aura of saint-killing and god-destroying coming towards them.

The longevity battle flag on the bow deck immediately emitted a bloody light, enveloping the entire battleship.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Three consecutive noises that seemed to be the Holy King's full-strength attack broke out around the warship.

"What a courage."

Li Zhi was furious, and instantly released the terrifying divine consciousness of a great sage, searching the starry sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

As soon as the divine consciousness probed out of the warship, it captured three magic arrows emitting a bloody and murderous aura shot from a meteorite with a diameter of a thousand miles in the distance.

"court death!"

Although the three magic arrows emitting a breath of destruction were terrifying, they could only threaten the Saint King. Li Zhi was furious and directly used the Star-Picking Hand to grab the three magic arrows in his hand.

"Oh no, there's a Great Sage on the boat, run."

Suddenly, a wave of divine thought carrying an aura of extreme fear erupted in the dark starry sky.

"Humph! You want to run, but can you?"

Li Zhi snorted coldly, and the big hand that could pick stars and hold the moon crushed the three magic arrows, and then turned into a starlight that covered the starry sky within a radius of tens of millions of miles.

Covering the sky with one hand is nothing more than this.

The ambushers who were fleeing rapidly in all directions and even opening domain gates to leave felt that the entire starry sky had solidified in an instant, and all domain gates could not be opened. At the same time, they felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and it became extremely difficult to move forward.

Then, a terrifying suction force spread in the void, sucking those monks hiding in the cold and dark starry sky in front of Li Zhi one by one.

"Senior, please spare our lives." Dozens of monks who fell on the deck knelt down and begged for mercy after seeing Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

"One Holy King, four saints, and fifty-three great kings. You are so brave." Li Zhi saw through the cultivation level of this group of people at a glance and said coldly.

That Saint King was only at the initial stage of Saint King cultivation and had no power to resist Li Zhi at all.

"Senior, I am blind and did not recognize the Great Sage here. I am willing to offer my entire fortune and beg you to spare my life." The leading Saint King knelt down pitifully towards Li Zhi.

"Why are you attacking our spaceship?" Seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi asked with a frown.

"To answer the fairy, we are also forced to take the risk and set an ambush in the starry sky in the hope of gaining some benefits." The Holy King did not dare to hide anything and directly stated their purpose.

This is a group of star pirates from the depths of the universe. They specialize in ambushing in the depths of the outer space and plundering the monks who come to Beidou from other ancient star regions.

As the news that the road to immortality would soon be opened in Beidou spread more and more widely, powerful beings from other star fields descended on the ancient Beidou star field almost every day.

Moreover, many powerful people did not come to Beidou alone, but were accompanied by a large group of disciples.

When there are a large number of people, they often use spaceships to travel, which gives these star pirates the opportunity to make a fortune.

Previously, after they captured the breath of the interstellar battleship under Li Zhi's feet approaching Beidou through magic weapons, they immediately made arrangements, planning to first use starry sky dark mines to blow up the starship's defenses, and then use the Holy Arrow to kill Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Li Zhi's strength and the defensive power of the battle flag.

"Changshou, how should we deal with them?" After hearing the responses from those cultivators, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi asked Li Zhi.

"It's a waste of food to keep a group of interstellar thieves." Li Zhi said lightly.

"Senior, please spare us, please spare us, we are willing to surrender. We are willing to release our souls so that you can plant the mind-controlling mark." When everyone heard that Li Zhi was going to kill them, they begged for mercy.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi didn't have time to waste talking to them. With a wave of his hand, he wiped out all the space pirates who had ambushed them, and then threw their bodies into the battleship's energy furnace to burn them.

"Today's Beidou seems to be even more unstable than it was a hundred years ago." The Saint of Yao Chi had no discomfort at all about Li Zhi using those star pirates as fuel. Years of experience on the ancient roads had made her accustomed to all kinds of fights.

She has even experienced many battles where the great powers have directly led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of ordinary lives. "The road to becoming an immortal is about to open, and the ancient Beidou Star will sooner or later become the center of a cosmic storm. This chaos will probably continue until the road to becoming an immortal opens. In the future, Beidou will definitely become more and more chaotic," said Li Zhi.

"The road to becoming an immortal is opened in Beidou. I really don't know whether it is good or bad." A trace of worry appeared in the eyes of Yaochi Saint. At the same time, she was also concerned about the current situation of Yaochi Holy Land and whether it was harassed by those ancient saints from outside the domain.

Afterwards, the Saintess of Yaochi said again: "Changshou, let's speed up and return to Beidou."

Soon, the interstellar battleship arrived at a place not far away from the battlefield outside the Beidou ancient star field.

Looking at the bloody and chaotic ancient battlefield ahead, Li Zhi said, "It looks like we have to get off the boat here."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi nodded, and then walked off the warship with Li Zhi.

After putting away the warship, Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi flew towards the ancient battlefield outside the domain.

On the battlefield, groups of monks were engaged in a melee.

The races in that battle group were all different. There were Golden Crows, dragons, human warriors, exotic beasts, strong men from the ancient Beidou tribe, and some humanoid creatures of unknown races. There were a few at least and hundreds at most, and the battle was very fierce.

Weapons clashed, murderous aura rose to the sky, and holy blood flew everywhere, as if this extraterritorial battlefield of the ancient Beidou star had regained vitality and vigor.

Let it once again become the grand stage for the showdown between the saints.

On the battlefield, broken weapons, broken blades, broken corpses and broken arms were floating everywhere, and there was either evil spirit or murderous aura. It seemed like a Shura battlefield. Countless ancient saints had fallen on the battlefield.

A hint of Taoism emanated from Li Zhi, enveloping him and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

In an instant, their figures and aura disappeared from the battlefield outside the domain.

Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi were eager to return home and had no intention of participating in these battles.

After passing through the battlefield outside the domain, Li Zhi said to the Saintess of Yao Chi: "Fellow Daoist Yao Chi, let's say goodbye here."

"My long-lived Taoist friend, we will meet again later." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi nodded and said.

After all, they were going in different directions. The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was going to the Holy Land of Yao Chi in the northern region of East Wilderness, while Li Zhi was going back to the Seven Star Dojo in the southern region of East Wilderness.

Afterwards, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi directly opened a gate leading to the northern region of Donghuang and disappeared into the battlefield outside the region.

After watching the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi leave, Li Zhi also planned to open the star gate and return to the Taoist temple.

But at this moment, a terrifying wave suddenly came from the battlefield farther away, as if a powerful man at the level of a great sage was fighting a life-and-death duel.

"boom!"

After the aftermath spread, it broke up all the fighting groups.

Almost all the monks turned into streams of light and began to flee in all directions, as if they did not want to be affected by the battle between the great saints.

In an instant, the battlefield outside the domain became quiet.

Seeing this, Li Zhi looked over there.

Deep in the starry sky, I saw a golden lion with nine heads fighting a bloody battle with a colorful peacock of similar size.

The two ancient beasts revealed their true forms, both possessing a true body a thousand feet long, with overwhelming arrogance and boiling blood, as if they were burning the ancestral blood in their bodies, and with the strength of a peak Saint King, they launched the attack power of a Great Sage.

"What a powerful bloodline inheritance." Li Zhi was a little shocked when he saw the aura emanating from the two ancient beasts.

Then he flew over quietly, wanting to see whether the two beast kings possessed the bloodline of the emperor.

Halfway through the journey, Li Zhi suddenly felt an extremely obscure life fluctuation on a meteorite fragment only tens of miles in size.

When Li Zhi opened his third eye, he saw two monks hiding behind the formation barrier. Li Zhi walked over quietly with a thought.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, nice to meet you two Taoist friends. I wonder the origins of the two ancient beasts that are fighting each other. Can you answer my questions and clear my doubts?" After arriving next to the two men, Li Zhi asked directly.

"who are you?"

Li Zhi's voice frightened the two monks. The younger monk stared at Li Zhi with a bad face. At the same time, a magic sword appeared in his hand, as if he was ready to attack Li Zhi at any time.

The older monk next to him immediately stopped him, looked at Li Zhi in shock, and then bowed and apologized, "Greetings, senior. I am ignorant and speak bluntly. Please forgive me."

There was a huge wave of emotion in his heart. He was able to appear beside them silently and pass through the hiding formation he personally set up without alerting them. Such a person was something that the two brothers could not afford to offend.

Then, the man said to Li Zhi: "In reply to what you said, senior, the two ancient beasts fighting in Zhengzi are both powerful beings from the ancient star of Amitabha Buddha, the Five-Colored Bodhisattva of the Five-Colored Malachite Buddhist Sect, and the nine-headed lion is a great demon king who has a grudge against Buddhism, the Nine-Spirits Saint King."

"The bloodline of the Nine-headed Golden Lion and the bloodline of the Five-colored Fairy Peacock, good, both are good bloodlines." Li Zhi stared at the two ancient beasts fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and said secretly in his heart.

"Senior, can we go now?" Seeing that Li Zhi was looking at the two ancient beasts fighting with great interest and didn't seem to care about the two brothers, the senior brother said cautiously.

"Go ahead." Li Zhi waved his hand casually and said.

The two men seemed to be pardoned. They immediately turned into streams of light, disappeared into the starry sky, and fled directly towards the Big Dipper.

Only after they landed in a forest in Zhongzhou did the two brothers finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was like walking through the gates of hell.

"Brother, why did you leave just now? That senior didn't seem to be targeting us." After calming down, the junior brother said.

"Junior brother, didn't you see that the senior was also interested in the Nine Spirit King and the Five-Colored Bodhisattva? The look in his eyes was as if he had seen an exciting prey. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." said the senior brother.

"It's such a pity. We spent such a huge price to guide the Nine Spirit King and the Five-Colored Bodhisattva to fight in the depths of the starry sky. It seemed that they were about to be defeated. But someone took advantage of it." The junior brother said indignantly.

"Don't mention the hidden accomplices behind the scenes. It's already good enough that the two of us brothers can come back alive this time. Who do you think that person is?" said the senior brother.

"Who?" asked the junior brother.

"At least he is a great sage." said the senior brother.

"That's impossible. He looks about the same age as us. At most, he's a Saint King," said the junior brother.

"If it wasn't the Great Sage, how could he have approached us quietly?" said the senior brother.

"So that's it? In order to induce the Nine-headed Lion and the Five-colored Peacock to form a mortal feud, senior brother did not hesitate to give them the news of the ancient Buddha relic." The junior brother said.

"I'm afraid this is destiny. Besides, with my current level of cultivation, I can't get the ancient Buddha relic." said the senior brother.

Afterwards, the pair of brothers disappeared into the vast wilderness of Zhongzhou.
