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

Chapter 461 Devastated
"No...no, Heavenly Emperor, spare my life, I am willing to submit."

Sensing an intense threat of death, he could no longer maintain his previous composure, arrogance, and domineering attitude, and repeatedly begged for mercy.

"You don't deserve to live!" Li Daoming's authoritative and indifferent voice rang out.

Having been in this strange world for so long, he naturally investigated the powerful figures there and gained a general understanding of them.

This is how they decide which people to kill to establish their authority and which to win over to bestow favors upon.

After learning about the five half-immortals, Li Daoming chose to kill this person to establish his authority.

The reason for choosing to kill him to establish authority was because he looked down on his character and personality.

In fact, Li Daoming did not require his subordinates to be good people, morally perfect people, or willing to sacrifice their lives for the world.

That's unrealistic. He himself isn't one, so naturally he wouldn't expect others to be.

But at the very least, one's character cannot be too bad, nor can one regard all living beings as ants, taking whatever one pleases, and finding pleasure in killing and doing evil.

Just like some people who, for the sake of treasures and divine skills, can be utterly inhuman, slaughtering their relatives, teachers, and friends; who, because of their own whims, readily massacre cities and destroy countries; and there are others who take pleasure in killing and tormenting others...

How could he dare to accept such a person? How could he be willing to accept it?

If he were to accept them, he was genuinely worried that if he trained them, they might turn against his own people in ordinary times, or betray him at a crucial moment.

They also worried that they would corrupt the Wuji Holy Court. The Wuji Holy Court naturally adheres to the principle of eliminating hostile forces, but its attitude towards all living beings in the world is to protect them, not to regard them as ants that can be taken or plundered at will.

The person he chose to kill was morally flawed and viewed all living beings as ants.

Li Daoming didn't even need to investigate; his deeds were widely known, though not for a good reason.

It is said that in the early stages of his growth, he used any means necessary to improve his cultivation. His relatives and friends were all killed by him, and he often massacred cities and destroyed countries, using a large amount of blood and souls to refine treasures.

Even if such a person is highly talented and strong, he has no intention of keeping him around.

In less than two breaths, Li Daoming clenched his right palm, and the person in his palm turned into a bloody pulp, his primordial spirit was completely annihilated, and he was utterly killed.

Seeing this, the remaining three people's expressions changed drastically. They had thought that Li Daoming would show mercy and that they would not be in danger because he could kill Wan Fa before. But now it seemed that this was not necessarily the case.

However, they had no time to think about anything else, and Li Daoming charged towards them.

"Boom!" Li Daoming unleashed punch after punch, reversing the universe, breaking the river of time, and obliterating the power of time here, causing a great collapse.

The three were forced to retreat steadily, their bodies exploding from time to time, their immortal blood splattering everywhere, unable to withstand the attack at all.

In less than three breaths, Li Daoming let out a long roar, and this person unleashed immortal light, sweeping across the front.

The second strongest being in the strange world, Guren, exploded, his primordial spirit was torn apart and nearly half of it was destroyed, leaving him powerless to fight again.

After sweeping him away, Li Daoming unleashed three more punches, each more terrifying than the last, killing another half-immortal and throwing him to join Wanfa Gulun.

At this point, three of the five half-immortals had been crippled by Li Daoming, and one had been killed, leaving only the strongest, Qian Yuan.

At this point, there's nothing more to say; the first thing to do is cripple him.

Anyway, there is a small amount of immortal matter in this strange world, and the strong in this world have a long lifespan.

Although they crippled him, it would take a considerable amount of time for him to recover, but it wouldn't necessarily kill them.

This time, dealing with Qian Yuan will not be as easy as dealing with the previous four. Qian Yuan's strength is much greater than the combined strength of the previous four.

Although he was much weaker than him, it wouldn't take many moves to cripple him.

"Boom!" A moment later, a loud noise came from afar. The battle between Li Daoming's Chaos Dao Body and World Dao Body and more than two hundred Heavenly Venerables had come to an end.

Although the number of Heavenly Venerables besieging the Chaos Dao Body and the World Dao Body was as high as two hundred and thirty or forty.

Unfortunately, they failed to form a divine array, nor were they able to briefly stop Li Daoming's powerful forces.

At the start of the great battle, the Chaos Dao Body transformed itself into a Chaos Cauldron to protect the World Dao Body from the attacks of many Heavenly Venerables.

Faced with the Chaos Cauldron manifested by the Chaos Dao Body, many Heavenly Venerables tried their best but could not budge it in the slightest. Under the protection of the Chaos Cauldron, the World Dao Body had no scruples and charged straight into the midst of the many Heavenly Venerables.

The gap between the many Celestial Venerables and the Chaos Dao Body and the World Dao Body was too great; they could not resist at all.

With a casual punch from the Dao Body of the World, a Celestial Venerable's physical body and primordial spirit would be shattered, leaving him either dead or crippled.

Moreover, this is not the limit of the World Dao Body. When there is only one Heavenly Venerable, it takes one punch to kill him. If several Heavenly Venerables join forces, it also only takes one punch to kill him.

The World Dao Body moved freely among the many Heavenly Venerables, and with its final palm strike, it struck down the remaining four powerful Heavenly Venerables, causing them to cough up blood, their bodies crumble inch by inch, and their primordial spirits shatter and explode.

If Li Daoming hadn't shown mercy, his primordial spirit wouldn't have been shattered, but rather annihilated.

The Chaos Dao Body and the World Dao Body had already killed two hundred and thirty or forty Heavenly Venerables and were already seriously injured. Qian Yuan, who was still barely holding on, had red eyes and was even thinking of giving up.

They gathered the vast majority of the world's strongest warriors, yet Li Daoming easily swept them all away. He saw no hope of victory, not even a sliver of possibility of winning.

"Boom!" The Yin-Yang Dao Body unleashed another punch, shattering Qian Yuan's physical body, and then cleaved down with force, severing his primordial spirit.

"Whoosh!" Qian Yuan retreated rapidly, retreating to a distance to rebuild his physical body.

Although his physical body had been reconstructed, his primordial spirit was damaged, leaving him extremely pale and his aura fluctuating wildly.

"Heavenly Emperor, please hold your hand. I, Qian Yuan, submit!" Qian Yuan lowered his head and said with a hint of desolation.

He didn't want to continue fighting; there were only two possible outcomes if they did.

First, the three of them, such as Gu Lun and Wan Fa, had their primordial spirits destroyed. Although they did not die, they lost 90% of their combat power. It would take them at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of years to recover to their peak condition.

One is like those who were beaten to death, their bodies left no trace, their lives utterly lost.

Neither of these two outcomes was what he wanted.

Since we know we can't win, it's better to try joining in than to resist and end up with a terrible fate.

Seeing this, Li Daoming was surprised for a moment, but did not continue to make a move.

Qian Yuan is the strongest being in the strange world and has great prestige there, which makes him a threat to some extent.

But Li Daoming was not afraid. Although he could not kill him as easily as killing an ant, it would not take much effort to deal with him.

Moreover, his rate of improvement in strength is unmatched by Qian Yuan. Perhaps before Qian Yuan has even lived to his eighth life, he will have already become an immortal in the mortal world.

Once he becomes a mortal immortal, he might even break through to the Immortal King level.
