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

Chapter 481 The Fall of the Ten Thousand Year Dao
With these methods and the guidance of the Heavenly Emperor, it was not impossible for them to reverse their fate and live nine lifetimes in the mortal world to become immortals.

But the more they cultivate and the more they learn, the clearer they become of themselves. The path to immortality in the mortal world is powerful, but what is truly powerful is not the path itself, but the person.

Truly powerful people remain powerful even without taking the path of immortal transformation in the mortal world, while ordinary people remain ordinary among this group even if they embark on the path of immortal transformation in the mortal world.

Take the Heavenly Emperor, for example. Even if he doesn't follow the path of immortality in the mortal world, who can withstand him simply by relying on the Three Thousand Laws?
Even though they all embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world and underwent the same number of transformations, their strengths were worlds apart. They were far inferior to the Heavenly Emperor, and also far inferior to Wushi and the two imperial princes...

In the future, it will probably be far inferior to Wan Qing!
At this moment, unaware of the gloom in the hearts of some, Wan Qing not only benefited greatly from the discussion but was also deeply shaken as the debate progressed.

Upon entering the Divine Ruins, he sensed that the dozen or so Great Emperors here were unfathomable. Apart from the one who attained enlightenment more than three hundred years ago, who was far inferior to him, the others seemed to be no weaker than him.

But now it seems that he is not just not weaker than him, but clearly stronger.

Although they hadn't fought each other yet, through this discussion, he knew that their understanding of the Great Dao far surpassed his, and their combat strength would undoubtedly be much greater than his.

Although he knew that the dozen or so Great Emperors of the Boundless Holy Court were much stronger than him, Wan Qing was not discouraged. Instead, he felt a surge of pride.

He was never inferior to anyone in his life, and he was confident that it wouldn't be long before he could catch up with them and surpass them.

This discourse lasted for a full century before finally coming to a close, and everyone who participated benefited greatly.

After the discussion, Li Daoming borrowed the Desolate Tower from Wan Qing, intending to study the immortal laws contained within it. He bestowed upon Wan Qing a portion of Chaotic Body Blood Essence to help him comprehend the mysteries of the Chaotic Body, and also gave him a mark that allowed him to freely enter and exit the Boundless Star Domain and the Divine Ruins, thus concluding the gathering.

Time flies, and more than 10,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!" In the desolate wilderness of the universe, lightning flashed, the heavens and earth trembled, and countless rays of immortal light shone forth, terrifying beyond compare. It turned out that an unconventional cultivator was undergoing tribulation.

This calamity was incredibly terrifying; countless vast skies were reduced to star ruins, a boundless sea of ​​lightning swept across the land, and the gods caused chaos, destroying endless star fields.

The terrifying cataclysmic fluctuations swept across the four seas and eight wastelands, the nine heavens and ten earths, and horrified the entire universe.

Deep within the Boundless Sacred Court, many Great Emperors who were cultivating, including Li Daoming, were awakened and turned their gazes in that direction.

"It's him? Gai Jiuyou, he still chose this path." Upon seeing the person undergoing tribulation, Li Daoming's eyes flickered slightly, and he gently shook his head.

At this time, twelve thousand years had passed since Wan Qing defied the heavens and attained enlightenment.

After Wan Qing defied the heavens and attained enlightenment, it seemed that the universe's accumulated power exploded, and its fortune surged. More and more powerful beings appeared in the universe, and even sixteen unorthodox Daoists were born.

Two of them do not belong to the Wuji Sacred Court, while the remaining fourteen all come from the Wuji Sacred Court.

These two unorthodox Daoists, who do not belong to the Wuji Sacred Court, are the Golden Crow King of the Golden Crow Clan and the Great Perfection Water Spirit, who has been in existence for less than a thousand years.

Speaking of the Golden Crow King, Li Daoming was also slightly surprised. According to his deduction, the Golden Crow King should be the Golden Crow Emperor of the later generations, but he did not expect that he would be in the same era as Wan Qing.

Although he was born hundreds of years earlier than Xuan Wan and Wan Qing, and cultivated to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor earlier, perhaps because there was no Supreme Being to obstruct his path, he did not suffer the pain of destroying his foundation to survive, nor did he undergo Nirvana and rebirth. In Li Daoming's opinion, his potential was not very high.

It was precisely because of this that after he broke through to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, it took him over a thousand years to break through to the Alternative Path of Enlightenment, and he was unable to become an Emperor before Xuan Wan.

As for the fourteen cultivators of the Wuji Holy Court who achieved enlightenment through alternative paths, three were male cultivators and eleven were female cultivators. The reason so many people broke through to achieve enlightenment through alternative paths is mainly due to the Divine Character Secret, the Wuji Dao Disc, and the help of Li Daoming.

Without the help of the Divine Secret, the Limitless Dao Disc, and Li Daoming, it would be good if one or two of these fourteen people could achieve a breakthrough and attain Dao through alternative means, or even more likely, none at all.

Although a total of sixteen people in the universe have broken through to the alternative path to enlightenment, there are not that many on the surface. This is because when the ten female cultivators who entered the Undying Mountain broke through to the alternative path to enlightenment, Li Daoming used a celestial artifact to conceal the fluctuations of their tribulation.

Therefore, there are only six unorthodox enlightened beings in the entire universe.

These six unconventional cultivators, perhaps out of ignorance, were not deterred by anyone. With Wan Qing as their role model, they all wanted to defy the heavens, destroy all paths, and prove their own Dao.

As expected, all attempts failed, and all suffered varying degrees of spiritual injuries.

The four unconventional Dao attainers of the Wuji Holy Court are alright; with the Wuji Holy Court as their backer, minor Dao injuries are not difficult to resolve.

However, the Golden Crow King and the Great Perfection Water Spirit were in a terrible predicament. They had no powerful experts who could heal their Dao injuries, no immortal medicine, and no rare divine objects, so their Dao injuries were difficult to recover from.

Ultimately, they all paid the price of working in the chaotic heavens for five hundred years in exchange for the intervention of their faith bodies, which helped them erase their Dao injuries and restore their original essence with a portion of imperial blood. After that, they worked for another thousand years, obtaining a large amount of imperial blood, and then disappeared.

With the disappearance of the Golden Crow King and the Great Perfection Water Spirit, the four unorthodox Daoists of the Boundless Holy Court, whose lifespans were nearing their end, all retreated to the background, focusing more on their own cultivation, and the entire universe fell into peace.

However, the calm did not last long, and soon another huge uproar broke out.

Nearly ten thousand years ago, a mysterious empress, whose name and origin were unknown, appeared and immediately became an emperor. After becoming an emperor, she disappeared without a trace, and the world once again fell into an era of hardship.

Although the Heavenly Emperor created the ancient starry road, allowing people to cultivate normally without being affected by the difficult times of the Dao.

However, the ancient star road created by the Heavenly Emperor is not a place that just anyone is qualified to go to. Those who can go there are all geniuses who have the potential to become saints, and their numbers are just a drop in the ocean compared to the countless living beings.

Moreover, this was just the beginning. In less than a hundred years, the Azure Emperor also perished, catching everyone in the universe off guard and leaving them in disbelief.

The Azure Emperor was no ordinary emperor. In the era of emperors, he destroyed all the myriad paths of heaven and earth, and ascended above all paths to become an emperor.

In the eyes of many, even if he is not as good as the Heavenly Emperor who founded the Wuji Sacred Court, he is definitely superior to all other emperors throughout history.

He might be able to follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Emperor and enter that strange world with immortal matter and long lifespans.

Countless people followed in his footsteps, hoping to follow him into a strange world and gain a long lifespan. Although none of them succeeded, countless people still held onto hope.

But to everyone's surprise, the Azure Emperor perished after only ten thousand years.

This has caused many beings in the universe to have doubts:
Perhaps the Azure Emperor did not actually perish, but rather, like the Heavenly Emperor, used some unknown means to create the illusion of his demise.

Perhaps the Azure Emperor has already gone to a strange world, no longer in the human realm. Naturally, his Great Dao will be out of control and spread throughout the universe.
