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

Chapter 449 A Surprise for the Emperor
But for him to live to his eighth incarnation, it would take hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer, to achieve this.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew in his heart that if he missed this excellent opportunity, he would most likely not be a match for Li Daoming the next time they met.

Not to mention, the Wuji Holy Court also has more than twenty Great Emperors.

More than a dozen of them lived to be reincarnated, and even if their combat power was weaker than when he established the Heavenly Court, it wouldn't be much weaker.

With so many powerful emperors forming a grand formation, the power they could unleash would be unimaginable; he certainly couldn't handle it now.

Li Daoming and the many emperors of the Wuji Holy Court, he couldn't handle any of them individually, let alone the two of them together.
At that time, not only will his grand plan for eternity be in vain, but he will also perish and his spirit will dissipate.

So even though he knew that with Li Daoming's strong defense, it would be difficult to kill him before the great formation collapsed, he was unwilling and unable to retreat.

……

"Cough cough!" After another two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the Chaos Dao Body was destroyed, and Li Daoming was blasted away, covered in blood, his aura fluctuating.

Although his Dao and Dharma were stronger at this moment, his strength was declining.

"Hahaha! Emperor Wuji, if you don't fight me head-on, I really won't be able to break through your turtle shell, but now your source is almost exhausted!" Although the Emperor was also coughing up blood, he laughed heartily.

Given Li Daoming's formidable defense, if he were to focus most of his power on defense, it would be impossible for him to break through it.

However, instead of using most of his strength to defend, he took the initiative to fight him to the death, which gave him the opportunity to injure him, or even severely damage him.

He knew perfectly well why Li Daoming did this; he simply wanted to use him as a tool to hone himself and perfect his own Daoist techniques.

He did achieve his goal; in just two days, his strength increased significantly.

But so what?

He spared no effort, even at the cost of injury, and successfully dealt him a severe blow.

Dao and Fa are stronger now, but they have been defeated too many times. Recovering their physical bodies has consumed too much of their essence, resulting in severe depletion of their essence. Their combat power is so great that they can no longer maintain their peak strength and are almost exhausted.

"It's almost exhausted, but the broken formation you set up is also about to break. Do you think you can stop me and leave me here?" Li Daoming said calmly and indifferently.

At this moment, he stopped trying to hold on. With a thought, he summoned two Heavenly Emperor Hearts, which merged with his own heart. They rapidly absorbed the power of the Heavenly Emperor Hearts to heal his injuries and restore his original essence.

However, Li Daoming did not reveal his true intentions. Instead, he had his three Dao bodies transform into a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram to protect the formation. While secretly recovering from his injuries and restoring his original essence, he attacked and destroyed the formation, causing the Emperor to misjudge the situation.

He was planning to give the Emperor a big surprise later.

The Emperor had previously spared no expense, even at the cost of injury, and the injuries he suffered were not light. In order to suppress the injuries and maintain his peak condition, he also consumed a lot of his essence.

Although the Emperor Venerable can still maintain his peak condition, once his injuries and origin are fully recovered, a powerful attack will surely severely injure him, or even kill him.

Under the protection of the three Dao bodies, no one could disturb him. Soon, in less than ten breaths, Li Daoming completely refined a Heavenly Emperor Heart, refining 60% of it and fully restoring his depleted essence.

However, the injuries that had accumulated and been suppressed before have not fully recovered, so he can only continue to suppress them for the time being with his powerful strength.

"It's time!" With a thought, Li Daoming sent his three Dao bodies rushing toward the Emperor, which combined to form an ancient and profound Yin-Yang Taiji Dao diagram, completely covering the Emperor.

The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram unleashed its power. With a gentle tremor, it completely locked down and suppressed the space-time within a radius of ten thousand miles around the Emperor. The Yin-Yang Taiji rotated, evolved, and merged, dissolving and resisting the Emperor's attacks.

At the same time, Li Daoming also moved. Instantly, half of his original essence ignited, transforming into boundless power. This boundless power merged with his physical body, primordial spirit, divine power, and all the laws and principles at large.

"Drink!" Li Daoming's veins bulged, and his right arm swelled up, as if he couldn't withstand that incredibly terrifying power.

Within the Yin-Yang Taiji Dao Diagram, the Emperor also sensed the aura emanating from Li Daoming, and felt slightly uneasy.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the cost. Like Li Daoming, he burned his source energy and unleashed countless divine techniques in an instant. These techniques slammed into the same fusion point of the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram.

In just a moment, the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram began to tremble and crack, on the verge of shattering.

It was too late!

Li Daoming has integrated all the power within his body, all the laws and principles, into a single punch.

He threw a punch at the Emperor, without paying any attention to the three Dao bodies that had transformed into the Yin-Yang Taiji Dao Diagram.

At that moment, the three Dao bodies also ignited. The Taiji Dao diagrams they transformed into fixed time and space, while Yin and Yang clashed, transforming into endless destructive power that surged towards the Emperor like a tidal wave.

"Boom!" The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless. With a single punch, Li Daoming annihilated everything within a radius of ten thousand miles around the Emperor into nothingness.

All the great laws, chaos, time and space were obliterated; nothing remained.

This punch caused the already damaged formation to collapse completely.

This punch shattered the great formation, shattered the path to immortality, and pierced through the chaotic universe. Time and space, and billions of miles of chaos trembled, and countless terrifying and enormous cracks appeared, which could not be healed for a long time.

……

"Bang!" Li Daoming was sent flying backward. One of his arms was completely destroyed, and half of his body exploded, scattering blood mist into the chaos. The remaining half of his body was also full of cracks, as if it were a broken piece of porcelain that had been glued back together.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Daoming coughed up blood repeatedly.

He felt a slight pang of regret; he shouldn't have burned half of his origin, along with half of his own power, and fused it all into that punch.

This punch was indeed incredibly powerful, and he believed that even if he were twice as strong, he would still be certain to die if he faced it head-on.

However, this punch would injure both the attacker and the attacker; his body simply couldn't withstand such a powerful force.

The moment he unleashed that punch, his right arm was obliterated—obliterated, not exploded. Obliteration meant the complete and utter destruction of all the power contained within his right arm, while explosion would allow him to reclaim most of the power.

Moreover, this was only after he threw a punch and then deliberately flew backward; otherwise, the consequences would probably have been even more serious.

For a fleeting moment, Li Daoming felt a pang of regret, but he quickly erased it.

Without doing so, he had no chance of killing the Emperor.

Although once the great formation is broken, the Emperor, without the formation's support, would certainly be no match for him and his three Dao bodies working together.

However, the Emperor's strength far surpasses that of his true self. If he is determined to escape, even if he and his three Dao bodies join forces, they will not be able to stop him.
