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

Chapter 448 Fierce Battle and Stalemate
It must be said that the Emperor's strength is truly terrifying. Even without the support of the great formation, Li Daoming and his three Dao bodies would probably find it difficult to win.

As expected, Emperor Li Daoming, who was empowered by a powerful formation, was at a complete disadvantage.

Even with Li Daoming's unparalleled Yin-Yang Taiji Dao Diagram defense, it was broken through multiple times. His World Dao Body, Chaos Dao Body, and Yin-Yang Dao Body were all destroyed more than ten times, and his true form was also destroyed four times.

If it weren't for the three Dao bodies risking their lives to save him, his true body wouldn't have just been destroyed four times; he might have truly faced a death crisis.

However, the Emperor was not having an easy time either. He was tricked by Li Daoming in various ways, such as self-destructing his Dao body to break through the great formation, and using himself as bait... The schemes succeeded, and he was destroyed twice.

"Boom!" With each collision, the World Dao Body that had been shattered was reborn. Li Daoming was filled with fighting spirit, his eyes gleaming, and he took the initiative to kill the Emperor.

With the blessing of the broken jade and under the pressure of a life-or-death crisis, countless inspirations surged in his heart. His Dao and Dharma were rapidly perfecting, becoming more and more smooth and free. His fists grew heavier and heavier, capable of shattering all laws and daos with a single punch, and collapsing the space and time of time...

Such a good sparring partner made Li Daoming very satisfied, and his fighting spirit soared.

"Damn it!" Sensing Li Daoming's aura rising again, his Dao and Dharma growing stronger, the Emperor's face turned extremely gloomy.

Before making his move, he felt that with his strength, he could easily kill Li Daoming even without the great formation. The reason for setting up the great formation was mainly to isolate Li Daoming from the outside world and prevent him from calling for help.

Yes, that's exactly what we're doing—preventing him from calling for help!
Others might sense that the Emperor's Imperial Laws and Heavenly Heart Mark have separated and are spreading throughout the universe, and would assume that the Emperor has fallen, but he would not.

He could clearly sense that many of the Great Emperors' Dao in the Boundless Holy Court had suddenly become much stronger, but then suddenly lost control and spread throughout the universe.

He knew that they must have lived a third life, but they had used some unknown method to sever their connection with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, making heaven and earth believe that they had perished.

If they form a large formation to come to his aid, he will not only be unable to kill Li Daoming, but may also get himself trapped.

The traitor who never died is the best example.

He had sensed their battle with the Undead while he was in the chaos. Although he didn't rush over when the battle broke out, he went to check on it afterwards.

From the traces left there, he deduced the power of the formations set up by those emperors. Although it could not be completely accurate, the difference would not exceed 30%. He should not be able to defeat the formations directly, and there is even a considerable chance that he would perish.

Moreover, many of them have now lived through their third life, greatly increasing their strength. The power of the formation is likely to be even stronger, and if they come to his rescue, he may find it difficult to withstand them.

However, he hadn't expected that while he had calculated everything, he hadn't anticipated that Li Daoming, together with his three Dao bodies, would be no weaker than him.

Moreover, he possesses an incredibly powerful defensive technique that is difficult to break even when reinforced by the array's power and when he exerts all his strength.

He fought him for three days and three nights without being able to defeat him. He was even outmaneuvered by him and had his body destroyed twice.

Keep in mind, he has already lived seven lives, while Li Daoming hasn't even lived three. How could he defy the heavens to this extent?
Moreover, even if that's not the case, Li Daoming has split into three Dao bodies, so his energy consumption must be much greater than his own. He is still at a significant disadvantage and is being suppressed and beaten. If this drags on, it will definitely not be him who will be worn down and killed.

What broke his defenses was that Li Daoming's progress was too fast. The two fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and his strength increased by more than half a percent, and there was no sign of it stopping. It seemed that he would continue to improve.

If the battle continues for another ten days and ten nights, can he still gain the upper hand?
The terror was insurmountable, because this great formation simply could not withstand their attacks for another ten days.

If the grand formation is damaged too severely, its support for him will diminish, making it unable to seal off this place, and the situation may be reversed. "Die!" The Emperor hardened his heart and summoned the power of the grand formation to temporarily block Li Daoming.

Immediately, he moved his hands rapidly, transforming all his magical powers into the character "帝" (Emperor), which emitted an incomparably terrifying wave that seemed capable of overturning all the heavens throughout the ages.

Sensing the terrifying power of the Emperor's impending attack, Li Daoming did not attack or interrupt the attack, but instead summoned back his three Dao bodies.

He, along with the Yin-Yang Dao Body, the World Dao Body, and the Chaos Dao Body, each stood in one of the four directions, forming the Four Symbols. The Four Symbols reversed the Two Forms, the Two Forms reversed the Taiji, the Taiji gave rise to the Two Forms, the Two Forms gave rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols gave rise to the Eight Trigrams.

In an instant, he and his three avatars transformed into a Taiji Bagua diagram that incorporated the principles of Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams.

"Boom!" This was an incredibly terrifying collision, as if all the worlds were destroyed in an instant, erupting with incomparably intense light.

The illusory cauldron formed by the grand formation set up by the Emperor could not withstand the aftershocks and cracks appeared on its surface.

"How is this possible? Damn turtle shell! Wuji Heavenly Emperor, are you a coward?" The Emperor roared angrily, his face grim, and he was somewhat broken down.

Although the Tai Chi Bagua diagram was trembling, it didn't even have a single crack.

He felt that unless the power he unleashed increased two or three times, it would be impossible to break the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

However, this strike of his had incorporated the Nine Secrets and many other Daoist techniques, making it his most powerful attack.

Let alone increasing it two or three times, it's almost impossible to increase it by another two or three percent, unless a mutually destructive method is used, burning one's origin to exchange for a surge in strength.

Even if he burned his source energy to gain a surge in strength, he still wouldn't have a chance to unleash two or three times the power of his previous attack.

"Your Majesty, you've run out of tricks!" Li Daoming laughed heartily.

It's normal that the Emperor was powerless against the Taiji Bagua diagram he had created, because it was formed by him and his three Dao bodies.

It wasn't a divine technique they used together; rather, their true forms transformed into the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

If the Tai Chi Bagua diagram is damaged, they will be injured; if the Tai Chi Bagua diagram is destroyed, they will die. Naturally, it cannot be easily broken.

"Emperor, die!" Li Daoming and his three Dao bodies joined forces, using the Taiji Bagua Dao Diagram to attack the Emperor.

"Boom..." The terrible battle broke out again. The Emperor did not retreat, did not want to retreat, and could not retreat.

Li Daoming is now alone here, trapped in the great formation. He still has the upper hand. Although it is difficult to kill him, it is not without hope.

But if he missed this opportunity, he didn't think he would have any chance of killing him.

Because Li Daoming is only in his second life now, with his talent, it shouldn't be difficult for him to live out his third, fourth, and so on, and the time required won't be too long. Once he lives out his next life, his combat power will definitely increase significantly.
