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

Chapter 437 The Great Era is About to End
However, once they sever their cultivation, laws, and Dao, in the eyes of Heaven and Earth, it is equivalent to their demise. Heaven and Earth will change drastically, their Dao will suppress all living beings, and the coming of an era of Dao hardship will be inevitable.

Since it was inevitable, and it was only three or four thousand years in the future, he naturally couldn't help Hunming live out his third life.

"Alas, life is short, and I now realize how precious it is to be alive!" The Soul Emperor's once black hair had mostly turned white. He then said, "I finally understand why the Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors of previous eras chose to close off forbidden zones. Even I feel the urge to do the same."

"Is that so? If so, I will eliminate you immediately!" Li Daoming said.

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Soul Realm smiled bitterly and said, "How could I do something that exists in the same era as you, the Heavenly Emperor?"

"However, I think you should prepare early. Even if you don't break through the forbidden zone, you should seal yourselves while your blood and energy are sufficient, or find a way to slow down the consumption of your life force. That way, you might be able to survive until the path to immortality opens and enter the path to immortality to become an immortal."

Or, given your combined strength, joining forces might not be impossible to break through the path to immortality at the wrong time.

"Do you really want me to join other Great Emperors in establishing my own dynasty? Or to attack the Path to Immortality?" Li Daoming's gaze was sharp as a sword, as if it could pierce through the heart of a Great Emperor.

The Soul Emperor was embarrassed and said nothing more.

He genuinely hoped that the Wuji Heavenly Emperor and the many great emperors of the Wuji Holy Court would either seal themselves off or even kill themselves, or join forces to attack the path to immortality.

If they succeed in attacking the path to immortality, he can also benefit and have a chance to become an immortal together.

If he were to sever his own limbs or seal himself away, they would have no time or reason to care about him, and he could then peacefully undergo Nirvana. If he could achieve Nirvana and live out his third life, that would be ideal; if not, he could still sever his own limbs in time to survive.

Now, there are only 70,000 to 80,000 years left until the time he predicted the start of the path to immortality. Naturally, he is unwilling to just sit and die like this.

No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to accept it in the face of the Boundless Heavenly Emperor.

Li Daoming stared at Hun Ming for a while before withdrawing his sharp gaze and said, "I think you can live for another five hundred years. I will come to see you again after five hundred years. I hope that you can successfully undergo Nirvana and live out your third life by then."

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!" The Soul Emperor's smile was somewhat forced.

He also understood Li Daoming's meaning: he would come to watch him undergo Nirvana. If he succeeded in Nirvana, there would be no problem. If he failed in Nirvana and obediently passed away, there would also be no problem. But if he failed in Nirvana and wanted to kill himself to survive, then it would depend on whether he could withstand the fist of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

Now that things had come to this, the Soul Emperor knew he couldn't resist and could only accept it.

At this point, he abandoned all other ideas and only wanted to devote all his efforts to achieving a successful rebirth.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Heavenly Emperor, I wish to exchange many of my treasures for some Chaos Essence Blood. Is that possible?"

Over the years, he has frequently gone to the Chaos Realm to operate the great array and transform the Chaos Qi, obtaining a considerable amount of Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood, which extended his lifespan considerably; otherwise, he would not have been able to live to this day.

However, that Chaos Emperor's blood was not the true blood of the Emperor; it was merely transformed from the Chaos Emperor's Heart. Its quality was at most comparable to his Emperor's blood. Although it was useful to him, its usefulness was not great.

He wanted to obtain some Chaos Essence Blood, and bathe in it during his Nirvana, which might increase his chances of living a third life.

"Okay!" Li Daoming agreed without much hesitation.

For him, with enough Chaos Emperor Blood, condensing Chaos Essence Blood would not be difficult.

Moreover, the Soul Nether race is quite unique, and its path is also quite special. If one can successfully undergo Nirvana, witnessing its Nirvana should yield considerable gains.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daoming took out a portion of Chaos Essence Blood and exchanged it with Hunming for many rare treasures, including the Chaos Emperor Blood that Hunming Emperor had previously earned, as well as the Soul Liquid, a specialty of the Netherworld Clan.

The Ghost Clan is quite unique, excelling in the divine soul. Although they possess physical bodies and blood, these can be completely transformed into their primordial spirit. After their fall from Ghost Star, their essence merged with the planet, and through Ghost Star's unique terrain, it was able to nurture soul liquids of varying qualities.

Soul liquid can strengthen a being's soul and enhance its comprehension. The highest quality soul liquid is even useful to powerful beings at the Great Emperor level, though its effect is small, it is still extremely precious.

Moreover, when used by low-level cultivators, this can greatly enhance their spiritual power, strengthen their foundation and comprehension, and give them the potential to reach higher realms.

After exchanging a few more words with Hun Ming, Li Daoming didn't linger. With a single step, he instantly returned to the Wuji Holy Court.

The Wuji Holy Court is now even more glorious!
Nearly 10,000 years ago, when he was 20,000 years old, he merged the Chaos Body into his own physical origin, causing his physical origin to undergo a transformation, thus living out his second life.

After living a second life, his combat power only increased by a little over 20%, not by much, because he was already too powerful.

Moreover, around this time, those in the Wuji Holy Court who had not yet lived a second life also began to live a second life.

Li Wuhen and Li Wuyou did not use the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique to undergo Nirvana. Instead, like him, they integrated the Chaos Origin into the Origin of their Natural Constitution, allowing their own physical constitution to undergo a transformation and live out a second life.

Of the remaining four, one successfully achieved Nirvana and lived a second life, while the other three failed to achieve Nirvana and lived a second life using the elixir of immortality.

So far, excluding him, there are a total of twelve people in the Wuji Holy Court who have survived a second life on their own.

Moreover, at present, the number of alternative Dao attainers in the Wuji Holy Court has reached twenty-four, and there are also twenty-six people who will become Dao attainers.

There are several hundred quasi-emperors active in the world, and if you include those who have proclaimed themselves emperors, there are more than 1,200.

Moreover, these are the more than three thousand Great Saints who were once sealed away by the Wuji Holy Court, and more than half of them have not yet been unsealed.

Otherwise, the number of Quasi-Emperors in the Boundless Holy Court would be even greater.

"Alas!" Recalling the glory of the Boundless Holy Court, Li Daoming sighed softly.

In another three or four thousand years, the glory of the Wuji Holy Court will be sealed away.

Because in another three or four thousand years, the second lives of many emperors of the Boundless Holy Court will come to an end. Those who cannot rely on their own Nirvana to live out their second life will have their cultivation, laws, and Dao attainments severed by him, thus being reborn.

Those who have already successfully achieved Nirvana but are unable to live out their third life on their own will have their cultivation laws and Dao attainments severed by him, thus allowing them to live out their third life.

By then, the many quasi-emperors, those about to attain enlightenment, and those who attain enlightenment in other ways within the Boundless Holy Court will have exhausted or are about to exhaust their lifespans, and will seal themselves off around the same time.

The apparent fall of many great emperors, combined with the oppression of all living beings by their Dao, created an unprecedented and unparalleled suppression of the Great Dao.

Faced with such severe suppression of the Great Dao, he naturally would not unseal the Great Saint of the Boundless Holy Court.

Although they will continue to recruit new people, under the suppression of the Great Dao, how many people can cultivate successfully and be able to go to the recruitment office of the Boundless Holy Court?

At that time, the number of people that the Boundless Holy Court will be able to recruit will be pitifully small.

The glory of the Boundless Holy Court will now be sealed away!

Of course, even if the number of cultivators in the Wuji Sacred Court is small, and many emperors and he have fallen in public, with many imperial weapons and two immortal artifacts, the Wuji Sacred Court can still be described as extremely glorious and prosperous, invincible in the world.
