The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 383 The Ruthless Empress Discusses the Dao
"Chaos! What is chaos?"

At this moment, Li Daoming couldn't help but recall the description of the Chaotic Body in the original work. The Chaotic Body, also known as the Immortal Body, can both evolve all things and destroy all things.

Suddenly, Li Daoming's eyes lit up: "The convergence of all paths into one is chaos! Chaos is the beginning, the origin, but also the end."

It is precisely because chaos symbolizes both the beginning and the end of the world that the chaotic entity can evolve all things and destroy all things.

Li Daoming understood, and his entire mind was immersed in the Great Dao of Chaos.

He comprehended the Dao traces of the ruthless empress, continued the fusion of all Daos into one, evolved the Great Dao of Chaos, and used chaos to evolve all things, and then destroyed all things and returned to chaos.

As Li Daoming evolved, chaotic energy permeated the area within a radius of ten thousand feet, and countless strange phenomena emerged.

There is primordial chaos that evolves into all things in heaven and earth, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, exotic flowers and rare herbs, and divine birds and animals. There is also the destruction of all things that return to chaos.

The chaotic energy evolved endlessly. As the chaotic energy evolved, the aura on Li Daoming's body became increasingly thick and heavy. The chaotic Dao Fruit within his body, which seemed both real and illusory, also became more and more rounded and natural.

"Boom!" After an unknown amount of time, an aura erupted from Li Daoming's body.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth were in operation, covering the entire Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and suppressing this aura. Otherwise, it would have shaken the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Four Seas and Eight Desolations.

But at this moment, the desolate forbidden land was also rumbling, with brilliant immortal light bursting out and the ultimate magic array glowing, resisting the aura emitted by Li Daoming.

In an instant, Li Daoming came to his senses and suppressed his aura.

But then he sensed a terrifying gaze fixed upon him.

Looking up, he saw through the Extreme Dao Formation. Inside the Extreme Dao Formation, the ruthless man's long, curled eyelashes fluttered slowly as he opened his eyes, which were as deep as the sea, filled with chaotic energy, a scene from the beginning of the world.

She gently raised her hand, and the bronze immortal palace and the supreme magic array beside her fell silent.

But then her eyes became somewhat vacant, as if she had lost her spirit, and she showed no further reaction. She was like a beautiful and lustrous piece of mutton-fat jade.

Upon seeing this, Li Daoming was initially delighted, but then frowned slightly. What was going on?

I thought that the ruthless empress had woken up, so I could discuss the Dao with her and improve my own Dao fruition. But she fell asleep again. How can I discuss the Dao with her now?

As for attacking the ultimate formation and waking her up? Unless he wanted to make an enemy of a ruthless person, he couldn't do that at all. He could say it was an accident during his cultivation breakthrough before, but if he did it on purpose, it would be making an enemy, not making friends.

After a moment, the ruthless empress seemed to regain some of her senses. Her calm and serene gaze fell upon Li Daoming, as if she wanted to see right through him.

Finally, he spoke, his voice like heavenly music: "You have succeeded in integrating all paths into one and evolving the Great Dao of Chaos, but your path is not the Great Dao of Chaos! Yin and Yang give rise to all paths, and all paths return to Yin and Yang. Your Yin-Yang Great Dao is very powerful and has great potential."

At this point, there was a hint of doubt in her voice, as if she didn't understand why Li Daoming wanted to evolve the Great Dao of Chaos.

Although the Great Dao of Chaos is powerful, it is ultimately not his foundation. His Great Dao of Yin and Yang is not weak, and is no weaker than the perfect Great Dao of Chaos.

“Chaos is also Yin and Yang!” Li Daoming replied with a hint of surprise.

A question arose in his mind: why did the ruthless empress know so much about him? But then, seeing the Devouring Demon Jar trembling and reviving on its own, Li Daoming instantly understood.

The Devouring Demon Jar had been with him for quite some time, and he had once activated it to the point of almost complete revival, using extreme laws to bombard his physical body.

In this world, the ones who know his situation best are not humans, but the gods of the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe and the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.

The Devouring Demon Jar was forged by the ruthless empress in her previous life and contains a part of her primordial spirit. It would be very simple to learn some of her secrets from the Devouring Demon Jar.

"I see!" The ruthless empress seemed to understand.

"How are you doing now, fellow Daoist? Would you be willing to discuss the Dao with me?" Li Daoming inquired.

Having lived for so long, the ruthless empress's understanding of the myriad principles of heaven and earth is certainly beyond his reach. Discussing the Dao with her will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him in perfecting his Three Thousand Laws Runes.

Moreover, she has already lived her fifth life, though incomplete, but by discussing the Dao with her, one might be able to discover the method to live a fourth life.

"Alright! Fellow Daoist, please!" After a moment's thought, the Ruthless Empress nodded slightly, raised her hand and pointed to the three futons in front of her, which appeared entirely from Dao energy.

Well, the reason there are three prayer cushions is because the Great Accomplished Saint Body is right there. Although it's just the two of them discussing the Dao, we can't let the Great Accomplished Saint Body stand up, can we?
Li Daoming and the Great Accomplished Holy Body entered the room, sat on the futons, and sat opposite her.

Knowing that the ruthless empress was in a state of shock and would likely remain awake for a long time, Li Daoming did not waste any time and directly discussed the Dao with her.

Here, the sounds of the Great Dao resounded, and various Dao runes danced in the air, each word a gem.

The ruthless empress revealed all her Dao and Dharma, even the secrets of her transformation, without concealing them from Li Daoming, and did not care at all that Li Daoming had seen her secrets of transformation.

The reason she was so generous was twofold: firstly, she genuinely didn't care about these things; so what if Li Daoming saw it? She wouldn't suffer any loss. As for targeting her with this, let him try!

Secondly, it's because of Li Daoming himself.

Li Daoming integrated all the Daos on his own and evolved a perfect Chaos Dao. It wouldn't be difficult for him to live a second life on his own in the future. Moreover, his combat power at this moment is probably no less than when she lived a second life.

She is currently lacking in both physical condition and combat strength. Unless she disregards the transformation of this life and awakens her Dao Fruit, she is no match for Li Daoming in his current state.

Rather than hiding it and letting Li Daoming become curious about the secret to her survival until now, and then forcibly prying into it when he has enough power now or in the future, it's better to reveal it now during the discussion.

Moreover, through the Devouring Demon Jar, she comprehended some of Li Daoming's Dao and Dharma, which should be of great use to her.

The two should discuss the Dao without concealing anything from each other, so that they can benefit from each other. If they conceal things from each other and do not trust each other, then she will have to hide or prepare for a big battle with Li Daoming.

The ruthless empress held nothing back, and Li Daoming naturally reciprocated by holding nothing back as well.

All paths lead to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give rise to all paths. His Yin-Yang Dao, along with the three thousand laws and runes derived from it, all manifested, intertwining and evolving.
In addition, the "Dao Divided into Yin and Yang" evolved into the Chaotic Dao Fruit and the World Dao Fruit, which respectively evolved into the Flawless Chaotic Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, carrying the two Dao Fruits and ultimately merging into oneself, allowing one's physical origin to transform, thus living out the second and third lives.

Li Daoming even put forward some of the speculations about transformation he had learned about, as well as some of the ideas and directions of becoming an immortal in the mortal world.
