Chapter 69: Fierce Star Beasts
He sacrificed the Hundred Herbs Map, took out the Luoyang Shovel, stepped into the sea of stars again, and started the return journey.
"Boom!"
Before Li Zhi could react, the energy of the stars around him instantly transformed into countless divine thunders and struck towards him.
It seemed to sense the seriously excessive magic power in Li Zhi's body.
Even many thunders broke through the halo emitted by the Hundred Herbs Map and directly hit his body.
After the spirit of the quasi-emperor divine weapon fell into a deep sleep, the power that the divine diagram could display could only be maintained by the amount of mana input by Li Zhi.
Before, his cultivation was still low, and the divine diagram itself was enough to ensure that he was safe. But now, with his cultivation skyrocketing, he can no longer be measured by his previous state.
Li Zhi then divided his attention into two tasks, maintaining the power of the Hundred Herbs Map to protect himself while wielding the Luoyang Shovel to open a path forward in the sea of stars.
Compared to before landing on the island, we could only move forward by digging holes one shovel at a time.
At this moment, Li Zhi, whose magic power had skyrocketed, was able to use the Luoyang shovel to open up a passage hundreds of meters long.
Even in areas where the starlight is relatively sparse, the power of a single strike can open up a passage several kilometers long in the sea of starlight.
In this way, Li Zhi moved forward while being struck by lightning, and from time to time he took a top-grade star body-building pill to recover from the damage to his body caused by being struck by lightning.
Two days later, Li Zhi climbed onto a star core that was only a few dozen meters in radius.
After a short rest, he continued on his way.
Moreover, Li Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that the star energy in the area ahead seemed to become very thin. With a swipe of the Luoyang shovel, he could dig out a passage dozens of miles long.
Li Zhi's forward speed increased dramatically.
Moreover, in that area, the power of the heavenly thunder transformed from the power of the stars seemed to have weakened a lot.
I thought we were approaching the star gate area.
But when Li Zhi suddenly bumped into a solid wall, he was dumbfounded.
He actually encountered the terrifying star beast that appeared on the Colorful Star Island in the starry sea.
After the star beast was hit by Li Zhi's Luoyang shovel, many scales on its body were immediately damaged, causing it to bleed and get injured.
The huge monster, which had just eaten and was about to fall asleep, was immediately enraged.
Li Zhi didn't dare to fight with the star beast at all, even though he had holy weapons and quasi-emperor divine weapons in his hands.
His magic power was not enough to revive the two weapons and show the power of the holy weapons or the supreme power of the quasi-emperor magic weapons. After all, the gods in the holy weapons had long been dead, and the power they could exert depended entirely on Li Zhi's magic power. Although the spirits of the quasi-emperor magic weapons were alive, they fell into the deepest sleep, and the power they could exert still depended on how much magic power Li Zhi input.
Li Zhi, who had a clear understanding of his own combat power, directly used "Lightning Step" and turned around and ran away.
And the angry star beast was chasing him relentlessly.
The star beast was huge and powerful, but it seemed that it was not good at speed. During the pursuit, its movement speed was not much faster than Li Zhi.
"Boom, boom, crack."
Just when Li Zhi thought that the star beast was nothing special and he could quickly get rid of it, the speed of the star beast suddenly increased dramatically and caused a thunder riot in a large area.
Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but swear and shouted, "Fuck!"
It turned out that it was not that the star beast was slow, but that it had only relied on its body instincts to roam in the sea of starlight, and was afraid that using its magic power would trigger the bombardment of heavenly thunder, so its speed seemed a little slow.
Once the star beast uses its magic power, it will be bombarded by the ubiquitous star thunder just like the foreign cultivators.
Seeing that the star beast began to use its magic power to chase him, Li Zhi was afraid that he could not avoid it by running away.
You can only take the risk and fight the star beast.
"After all, we cultivators have no reason to be afraid of fighting. A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be chased and killed by a beast. I am an immortal, and I should kill all enemies in the world."
As soon as these unreliable ideas appeared, they were suppressed by Li Zhi.
If the spirit of the Hundred Herbs Map was in a conscious state, he might be able to rely on the advantage of the weapon to delay until the star beast was killed by the star thunder.
However, when the spirit of the quasi-emperor weapon fell into a deep sleep, confronting the star beast head-on would be tantamount to seeking death.
"I can't afford to offend you, I really can't afford to offend you, I'll hide." Li Zhi sighed in his heart, and then he burned his magic power to speed up his escape.
Finally, after running for more than an hour, I saw a star island in front of me that could suppress most of the star power.
Li Zhi was overjoyed and rushed to Xingdao in an instant. He restrained his breath and hid in a valley on Xingdao.
He thought he could still hide like he did last time on the Colorful Star Island, but the star beast seemed to have Li Zhi in its grasp and also landed on the star island.
Its body is extremely large, similar to a dragon but not a dragon, and it looks somewhat hideous and terrifying.
After landing on the island, the star beast stood up, with most of its body appearing above the star island, high above, overlooking almost the entire island.
After opening its bloody mouth and taking a deep breath of the star essence, the star beast let out a loud roar indiscriminately towards the star island.
"Ow!"
The sound waves were like a tide, and began to wash over the entire ground of Star Island. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, the mountains shook and the earth trembled, and all objects floating on the surface of Star Island were blown over by the sound waves.
Even Li Zhi was no exception. If he hadn't inserted the Luoyang shovel into the rock as an anchor, he would have been blown away by the sound waves.
But even so, his whereabouts were exposed to the eyes of the star beast.
The star beast turned into a flash of lightning, opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Li Zhi.
Li Zhi also used lightning steps to dodge quickly.
However, hiding all the time was not a solution. Feeling anxious, Li Zhi suddenly thought of the innate wheel sea phenomenon that made him palpitate and had not yet been used.
"The Sea Boundary Altar Appears!"
Just as the star beast was about to catch him, Li Zhi suddenly released the wheel sea phenomenon that made him feel uneasy.
In an instant, the surrounding environment changed suddenly.
The original star island disappeared in an instant, as if replaced by a mysterious ocean.
In the vast ocean, the waves are huge and it seems that the storm is quite strong, and each wave carries a strange destructive force.
It's like the power left after the world is destroyed.
If you zoom in, the waves seem to be made up of one destroyed little world after another, which is very scary.
At the same time, a grand three-story altar with a diameter of more than 100 meters slowly rose from the waves under the call of the mysterious sacrificial sound that resounded through the sky.
As the three-tiered altar emerged from the sea, countless mysterious blood-red chains emerged from the altar and began to spread in all directions, as if actively looking for sacrifices.
At the same time, a voice appeared in Li Zhi's mind, "Sacrifice."
Moreover, after the voice appeared, Li Zhi seemed to have turned into a puppet, reciting the nameless sutra, bowing his head with every step, and walking towards the altar with a pious face.
When such a strange scene appeared, the star beast that wanted to eat Li Zhi seemed to have seen the most terrifying monster in the world.
With a roar, it soared into the sky, trying to escape from the area shrouded by the strange phenomenon on the Boundary Sea Altar.
But this movement seemed to provide a target for those mysterious blood-colored magic chains.
All the blood-colored magic chains gathered around it, and the speed of the magic chains was extremely fast, as if they could cross time and space. They appeared beside the star beast in an instant and began to bind the star beast.
The quality of the magic chain seemed to be insufficient. After wrapping around it, it could not directly subdue the star beast.
The moment the star beast was tied up, the magic chain was torn apart by the star beast's huge power.
However, those blood-colored chains seemed to have an immortal quality. After being broken, they were immediately reborn, becoming even thicker and continuing to wrap around the body of the star beast.
At the same time, Li Zhi seemed to be over-consumed and felt a depletion of magic power in his body.
Finally, the kilometer-long star beast could no longer resist after being tied up by nine blood-red chains.
There was a look of infinite fear in the star beast's eyes. After being imprisoned by nine blood-red chains, it was slowly pulled towards the huge three-story altar.
Soon, the star beast was folded into a mountain of flesh and placed on the altar. However, the body of the star beast was too huge, and even when folded, part of its body still hung outside the altar.
Just after the star beast fell onto the altar, the word "sacrifice" appeared again in Li Zhi's mind.
But this time it seemed to be a question, asking him whether he had started the sacrifice.
Just as Li Zhi was about to agree, a voice suddenly rang out from his immortal platform, "The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency. The way of earth is to absorb all things and return them to chaos. The way of man is to establish heaven and earth and cultivate all ways."
The three verses of great Tao obtained from the bronze coffin of three generations manifested in his immortal platform like a huge bell, emitting a mysterious heavenly sound, which awakened Li Zhi from his confused and seemingly controlled state.
"Destroy." Li Zhi, whose mind had regained clarity, looked at the strange vision in front of him, his face changed drastically, and he directly made a self-destruction spell, detonating the wheel sea vision.
"Boom!" The vision exploded, and its aura leaked out, instantly triggering the power of countless stars, turning into thunder all over the sky and bombarding the vision on the altar of the boundary sea. Without caring about the backlash of the vision's shattering on himself, Li Zhi directly turned into a stream of light and drilled into the small world in the Hundred Herbs Map.
Li Zhi ran away, but the strange "Boundary Sea Altar Appeared" phenomenon in the Wheel Sea did not disappear directly, as if it was still waiting for Li Zhi to issue the order to sacrifice the star beast.
It seemed that the strange aura of the blood-red magic chain was sensed by the outside world.
In an instant, a chaotic thunder appeared from nowhere.
Carrying the power of forbidden heavenly punishment, it struck directly towards the altar.
The Chaos Divine Thunder struck down, directly destroying the three-story altar along with the star beast that was bound to the altar with magic chains.
The strange phenomenon of "the altar appearing in the sea of boundaries" finally disappeared completely, and the world returned to its original state.
However, a hundred-meter-long hole appeared on the star island, which was transparent from top to bottom.
At the edge of the big cave, there were four beast legs that were more than fifty meters long and shaped like dragon legs, as well as a beast tail that was almost three hundred meters long.
Inside the big hole, a huge void crack appeared.
From that crack, one could faintly sense the breath of the starry mist that enveloped the entire small world.
Li Zhi, who was hiding in the Hundred Herbs Map, was not idle either. He grabbed a holy medicine with strong vitality and stuffed it into his mouth, then immediately used the Phoenix Regeneration Technique to restore himself.
When his body recovered and he no longer sensed the breath of the star beast through the Hundred Herbs Map, he carefully crawled out.
Then he saw a shocking scene before his eyes: a hundred-meter-long hole that ran through the Star Island, and a huge void crack in the hole that was healing.
After sensing the familiar aura outside the huge rift in the void, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he instantly used the Hundred Herbs Map to collect the four beast legs scattered around the big hole and the 300-meter-long beast tail into the small world in the map.
This is a star beast, its flesh and blood are rich in the essence of life. Whether it is roasted or stewed, it is the most supreme delicacy in the world.
Moreover, on the four legs, there are four claws shaped like dragon claws. In particular, they are made of star iron and are priceless.
It is estimated that the auction will sell for one million kilograms of source.
With it, it seems that there will be no shortage of resources for cultivation in the future.
Then, under the protection of the Hundred Herbs Map, Li Zhi jumped directly into the huge void crack. He was worried about not being able to find a way out, and the timing of this huge void crack was just right.
The huge crack in the void seems to be only separated by a wall, but once you actually enter it, it feels like traveling through a time tunnel, and it feels extremely long.
At the same time, the body was twisted into strange shapes due to the pulling of the force of space.
If his body was not strong enough, it would have been torn into pieces by the force of space.
Finally, before the huge rift in the void healed, Li Zhi finally flew out of the Star Cave World.
However, before he could stand firmly in the void, he felt the starlight mist around him begin to shake violently.
It seemed as if the solidified void around was no longer stable, and that a star storm was about to blow up again.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhi immediately controlled the Luoyang shovel and rushed out to the periphery with all his strength.
The destruction of the void is no joke. If you are not careful, you will be swept into an unknown place.
When he rushed out of the coverage of the star mist, he discovered the truth about the mist vibration.
The star gate that was originally fixed in the void was now shaking violently. It seemed that the void restriction left by the ancient saint was damaged when the big crack in the void appeared just now, and it could no longer fix the star gate in its original place.
The small star cave world, which had been imprisoned there for tens of thousands of years, finally broke free and regained its freedom.
Under Li Zhi's shocked gaze, the Star Gate was like a bullet that had suddenly broken free from the restraints of a gun barrel. It turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the depths of the void.
The previous chaotic divine thunder not only wiped out the strange vision displayed by Li Zhi, but also allowed the Yuheng Star Cave to regain its freedom.
When the star gate, along with a ball of starlight, completely disappeared from Li Zhi's eyes, he lowered his head to look at the ancient star below.
It is so vast and huge that it is really shocking.
As far as he could see, Li Zhi could not see the entire picture of the ancient star. He just vaguely felt that the vast territory directly below him was the East Wilderness.
Half of it is lush and green, while the other half is desolate and barren, appearing yellowish-brown.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhi flew towards the yellow-brown area, which seemed to be the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness.
At the same time, in Taixuan Gate,
The head master and the three retired supreme elders in the Fengming Palace's small world were looking at an ancient star map with solemn expressions.
On the star disk, the area that originally recorded the void coordinates of the star gate has now gone out.
"Uncle-master, is there something wrong with the Star Gate?" the head master asked Song Lan.
"I'll go take a look first." Song Lan said seriously.
The other two retired Supreme Elders said almost in unison: "Let's go together."
Afterwards, the three of them turned into three divine rainbows and rushed directly into the void outside the domain.
Soon, they arrived at the void coordinates where the star gate was originally fixed, and found that there was nothing around.
Upon seeing this, the three immediately injected massive amounts of magic power into the star map to sense the location of the star gate.
Faintly, they sensed through the star disk the star gate moving at high speed in the void.
However, the speed of the star gate was too fast, far exceeding their flying speed, and in the end they could only sigh in despair.
He returned to Taixuan Gate with a grim look on his face.
"Uncle Master, is Star Gate okay?" the head of Taixuan Sect asked directly.
"The star gate ran away." Patriarch Song Lan said with a frown.
"Run away?" The head of Taixuan Sect showed a puzzled look. That was the star gate left by the ancient saint, how could it run away for no reason?
Song Lan's eyes flashed, and he said, "I'm going to go to the Northern Territory to find Hua Yue and ask him if he has discovered any abnormalities in the star gate before."
As the true foundation of Taixuan Sect, the Star Gate must not be lost.
Although the star gate was moving at high speed in the void, they had the means to calculate the star gate's specific trajectory, but it was difficult to reach the star gate at any time as before.
What Song Lan is more worried about is that, with the Star Gate running away, in the future, perhaps only specific times and places can be used to enter and exit the Star Gate.
Unlike in the past, as long as the star power in the star gate is accumulated enough, they can open the star gate at any time.
Moreover, the star gate is running at high speed in the void. If it is captured by other major forces, it will be an unbearable loss for Taixuanmen.
Li Zhi was not aware of the reactions of the supreme elders in Taixuan Sect. At this moment, he had already begun to transform into a meteor and fly towards the Northern Territory.
The speed of the fall was so fast that even the powerful ones were shocked.
"boom!"
Finally, Li Zhi completed the falling stage of the movement in the manner of a ballistic missile, and directly smashed a huge pit several thousand meters deep on the ground.
It even penetrated a high-quality source stone vein located two thousand meters underground, causing a large amount of source energy to leak out.
It attracted many monks to go treasure hunting.
He lay at the bottom of the pit with a feeling of despair, looking at the sun in the sky, and was unable to stand up for a long time.
Sure enough, the ballistic missile-style landing method is not something that normal people can enjoy.
If he had not been pulled towards the Taichu Ancient Mine by an invisible force during his fall, he would not have experienced this free fall.
It took a lot of effort, and even the spirit of the Hundred Herbs Map was briefly revived, before Li Zhi was able to break free from the invisible pulling force.
Otherwise, Li Zhi would probably have been trapped in the dangerous Taichu ancient mining area at this moment.
No wonder those powerful people have to rely on stable domain gates when traveling instead of directly crossing the void.
It is too dangerous to cross the void directly. God knows what kind of mysterious interference we will encounter along the way.
However, the landing was successful, although the fall was quite severe, but for Li Zhi, successfully reaching the Northern Territory was still something he could bear.
"Senior Sister Wei Wei, come and see, there is a person in the pit."
Just as Li Zhi was recalling his life, he suddenly heard a young man's voice outside.
He was immediately awakened, "Weiwei? Could it be the Weiwei who was born in Lingxu Cave Heaven and has the fairy eyes?"
Here is the second update. Good night everyone.
