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

Chapter 446 Attack on the Path to Immortality

For example, an array can be used to evolve three thousand laws and runes, creating an independent space that isolates the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

For example, they could be sealed with magical artifacts to sever their connection with the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

For example, entering a strange world—well, this is the simplest method, but you can't choose it.

……

After pondering for a moment, Li Daoming decided to use an array to sever their connection with the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

This is the most efficient way, as it can simultaneously sever the connection between many great emperors and the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

Without hesitation, Li Daoming began to deduce the formation. Before long, he deduced a sky-covering array that could isolate the formation from all connections with the myriad paths of heaven and earth. If a celestial artifact were used to suppress the array, the effect would be even stronger.

Having deduced the grand formation, Li Daoming then used the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram and the Wuji Dao Disc to set up the formations at Shenxu and Busi Mountain respectively.

Soon, in less than a month, Li Daoming integrated the Heaven-Covering Array into the Divine Ruins and the Undying Mountain, which could be activated at any time to isolate parts or all of the Divine Ruins and the Undying Mountain from heaven and earth.

After setting up the formation, Li Daoming hesitated for a moment before deciding not to immediately send all the Great Emperors into the Divine Ruins and the Undying Mountain to sever their connection with the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

Only the six who have already lived through their third life are allowed to enter the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins respectively. As for the others, they will be dealt with when they live through their third life.

Those who have not yet lived out their third life have only one or two thousand years left before their second life ends and they live out their third life. In some cases, they have more than ten thousand years left.

This period of time was not very long, because he deduced that the suppression of the Great Dao after the "fall of the Great Emperors" would not dissipate in a short time.

How long will it take to dissipate? At least 50,000 to 60,000 years, and at most 60,000 to 70,000 years.

This timing surprised Li Daoming, because he discovered that after the suppression of the Great Dao dissipated, it was roughly the era of the Azure Emperor.

This made Li Daoming wonder whether it was a coincidence or some kind of divine intervention.

Although surprised, Li Daoming did not intend to change his plans.

If many great emperors were to perish during this period, the suppression of the Great Dao would dissipate after tens of thousands of years. However, if the perishing of the Great Dao were not concentrated in one period, the suppression of the Great Dao might not dissipate even after two or three hundred thousand years.

Only when the suppression of the Great Dao dissipates will a golden age emerge, giving birth to a large number of geniuses and powerful individuals who can operate the Chaos Heavens Array for him and work better for him. Naturally, he couldn't wait for the suppression of the Great Dao to dissipate as soon as possible.

More than three thousand years later, when Li Daoming was over thirty-five thousand years old, he left the Wuji Star Domain, broke through the cosmic barrier alone, and once again embarked on the path to immortality.

To this day, in the entire universe, there are no emperors who have "fallen from grace" except for Li Wuhen, Li Wuyou, Hunming, Ye Yixian, Wushi, and six others.

The rest of them have already lived through their third life and severed their connection with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, creating the illusion of the "fall of the Dao".

Hunming had lived a third life, but his lifespan was greatly reduced in that life, and now he only has four or five thousand years left to live.

Given his circumstances, it was virtually impossible for him to live out his fourth life on his own. However, Li Daoming promised him that when his lifespan in his third life was exhausted, he would use the "Severing the Dao and Returning to Origin" technique to sever his cultivation laws and abilities, allowing him to be reborn and live another life.

Of course, this is not free; if he cultivates to the Great Emperor realm again, he will need to work for him for five thousand years.

Li Wuhen and Li Wuyou had a lifespan of 20,000 years in their first life. After integrating the Chaos Body into their physical origin, their physiques underwent a transformation, and their lifespan in their second life will be at least 25,000 years. They still have nearly 10,000 years before their second lifespan is exhausted.

Ye Yixian is currently in her first life, and her lifespan in that life definitely exceeded 25,000 years. She still has at least 10,000 years left before her lifespan ends. After her lifespan in her first life ends, although she can live a second life through other methods, she plans to perform the "Severing the Dao and Returning to the Origin" technique herself, severing her cultivation, laws, and Dao, leaving only her pure origin and soul, and then cultivate anew in order to break free from the shackles of her Dao with the Ruthless Empress.

As for Wushi, he is even more terrifying. His lifespan in one lifetime exceeded 25,000 years, and his lifespan in the second lifetime will probably be even longer than that of the first.

If we wait until his second lifespan is exhausted, it will probably take nearly 20,000 years.

Of course, he wouldn't sever his connection with the universe and all things so late.

The two had discussed that once Ye Yixian lived her second life and severed her cultivation and laws, they would also sever their connection with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, allowing the human world to openly enter an era without emperors.

Having severed his thoughts, Li Daoming returned his focus to the path to immortality.

With a thought, Yin and Yang unfolded, merging with a large section of the Path to Immortality, allowing him to begin comprehending the laws contained within the Path to Immortality, perfecting his own path and the three thousand law runes.

The path to immortality is a fusion of fragments of the Immortal Realm and the Shrouding the Heavens Universe. It contains the laws of both the Immortal Realm and the Shrouding the Heavens Universe. Moreover, many of the laws here are not the outward manifestations of the myriad paths of heaven and earth, but rather the Great Dao laws hidden deep within the universe.

Li Daoming benefited greatly from comprehending the laws of the path to immortality.

What has always hindered him from perfecting his own path and the Three Thousand Laws has never been his comprehension, but rather his inability to comprehend more of the Great Dao Laws.

Now, on the path to immortality, there are many great laws that he has not yet comprehended that he can comprehend, and his cultivation progress has naturally entered a fast track.

Soon, in less than fifty years, Li Daoming had fully comprehended the laws contained in a section of the path to immortality.

Without lingering, Li Daoming unleashed a punch that pierced through the chaos, creating a spatial passage leading to other paths to immortality.

Then, he once again unfolded the Yin-Yang world, merging it with a section of the path to immortality, continuing to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao, and perfecting his Dao and the three thousand law runes.

"Boom!" Li Daoming took a step forward and entered the fourth path to immortality he had found.

"Not good!" The moment he entered the path to immortality, Li Daoming's brow twitched; he sensed a deadly crisis.

"Limitless Emperor Fist!" Li Daoming roared, not backing down, choosing to face the challenge head-on.

In that instant, his entire being merged with the broken jade. Under the pressure of the deadly crisis, he fell into a peculiar state, with countless flashes of inspiration surging through his mind and his thoughts racing at breakneck speed.

In an instant, he fused all his power and all his methods into a single punch.

This punch shook the vast and ancient world, shattering heaven and earth into ruins, and even erasing the passage of time.

It collided head-on with an incomparably terrifying, intensely brilliant, and unparalleled divine light that came rushing towards it.

"Boom!" The river of time was shattered, the past and present were reversed, the power of time between the two was erased, and a great collapse occurred here.

Li Daoming was thrown backward by the shock. Even though his physical body was incredibly strong, comparable to a celestial artifact, it was still damaged at this moment.

Cracks appeared on his body from the shock, and traces of holy blood seeped out, staining his white robes red. His right arm exploded, turning into a bloody mist that scattered into the chaos.
Despite suffering serious injuries, Li Daoming remained completely calm and rational, showing no emotion or anger whatsoever.
