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

Chapter 500 The Change of Yao Guang
The people of Yaoguang Holy Land heard that their subordinate Lingxu Cave Heaven had received an Ancient Sacred Body, and that this Ancient Sacred Body had also been discovered by several other cave heavens in the Yan Kingdom.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately sent the powerful figures from the Holy Land with the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, to pick up Ye Fan, demonstrating their determination to obtain this Ancient Holy Body.

Speaking of the Yao Guang Holy Land, we must mention the butterfly effect caused by the appearance of Li Daoming and the Wuji Holy Court. The Yao Guang Holy Land today is very different from the one in the original work.

For example, the Ruthless lineage has completely merged with the Yao Guang sect, and they no longer hide the Ruthless lineage's legacy, but put it out in the open.

The fact that Yao Guang Holy Land dared to do this, unafraid of being besieged by numerous extreme forces and following in the footsteps of Tun Tian Holy Land, naturally had its reasons and its confidence.

The story dates back more than 100,000 years, shortly after Li Daoming attained enlightenment.

After Li Daoming attained enlightenment, in order to cultivate more powerful individuals, he could form a grand formation to activate the Supreme Emperor Weapon, unleash its supreme combat power, and open the mountain gates wide.

As long as they can pass the tests of the Boundless Holy Court and sincerely pledge allegiance to it, we do not mind if they come from other forces.

In order to maintain its relationship with the Wuji Holy Court, the Yaoguang Holy Land also sent some of its prodigies to the Wuji Holy Court.

After those prodigies achieved success in their cultivation, they discovered the ruthless lineage hidden in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

The ultimate imperial weapon of Yao Guang Holy Land actually belongs to the Ruthless lineage. There are also many powerful people in Yao Guang Holy Land who belong to the Ruthless lineage.

If things completely fall apart, the powerful figures of the Yao Guang Holy Land have no confidence in suppressing the Ruthless Clan.

Even if they could suppress it, they wouldn't be confident of preserving the imperial weapon and legacy of the Ruthless Ones.

If they lose the Supreme Emperor Weapon and then go through another chaotic battle, even if the Yao Guang Holy Land doesn't completely decline, its strength and influence will plummet, making it difficult for it to recover in the future.

As for the Ruthless lineage, although they are not weak and they control the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, let's not even talk about whether they can deal with the strongmen of the Yao Guang Holy Land. Even if they can, they still have to take the Wuji Holy Court into consideration.

Even with their confidence, they didn't believe they could cause any trouble for the Boundless Holy Court. (At that time, Li Daoming had already pacified two major forbidden zones of life in a single battle and killed thirteen Supreme Beings.)
Mutual suspicion and mutual need led to a series of negotiations and clashes, ultimately resulting in the complete merger of the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ruthless Man's lineage.

Although they have merged, it doesn't mean that the Yao Guang Holy Land can openly inherit the legacy of the ruthless man.

The reason is simple: the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art require the consumption of special physiques for cultivation, and those with special physiques are the apple of the eye of every major power.

Regarding the inheritance of ruthless individuals, many forces hold the same attitude: it doesn't matter if it's their own, but if it's not theirs, it must be destroyed. No one wants their prodigy to be targeted as food. There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
The matter should have ended there, with the Yao Guang Holy Land secretly passing on the legacy of the ruthless man.

However, an unexpected event occurred: some powerful individuals who were born in the Yao Guang Holy Land but joined the Wuji Holy Court were more inclined to support the Wuji Holy Court, and they did not want to see the Yao Guang Holy Land secretly cultivating and passing on the ruthless person's legacy.

There's no other reason than that if this matter were discovered and exposed by outsiders, the entire Yao Guang Holy Land might be destroyed, and those of them who knew about it might also be implicated.

Therefore, they chose to report to the Wuji Holy Court, requesting the Wuji Holy Court to restore the Yao Guang Holy Land to its original state, and at the same time leave behind the imperial weapon of the Ruthless lineage, so that it would completely become the imperial weapon of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Li Daoming had long known that the Yao Guang Holy Land possessed a ruthless successor, but since it was none of his business, he ignored it. However, after those people reported it, he couldn't very well leave it unattended.

Considering that the Yao Guang Holy Land had lent imperial weapons several times, and that the Ruthless Empress had forged the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron for the Ruthless lineage, Li Daoming had also annihilated the Ruthless lineage, severing the Ruthless inheritance of the Yao Guang Holy Land. Instead, he pointed out to the Yao Guang Holy Land the flaws of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art in devouring the physiques of others, and showed them a clear path: to devour the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor in order to cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art.

Many people believe that the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art are heavenly arts that can enable ordinary people to defy fate and change their destiny.

But that's not actually the case. The Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art are so profound that if one's comprehension is insufficient, one cannot comprehend their mysteries at all. Without comprehending their mysteries, one cannot use them to devour special physiques.

Moreover, after absorbing a special physique, if one's comprehension is not high enough, one cannot deeply comprehend the mysteries of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art, and is unable to make the special physique one's own, let alone integrate multiple physiques and resolve the conflicts between them.

Even if one has high enough comprehension and a deep enough understanding of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art, and can resolve many conflicts in one's physique and evolve a flawed chaotic body, there will still be hidden dangers.

Having absorbed too many physical constitutions and fused too many origins bearing the imprints of others' lives with their own, those with weak wills are prone to losing themselves.

Just like Yao Guang in the original work, he said that he was not Yao Guang but Chaos. In the end, he lost himself in his cultivation, which shows how serious the problem was.

However, it's different if one only devours the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

The level of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood is no lower than that of the Great Emperor's blood. The benefits of devouring the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood are absolutely no less than those of devouring a special physique, and there is no risk of the original source being chaotic, difficult to harmonize, or easily losing oneself.

Moreover, the blood of the Chaos Emperor contains the Great Dao of Chaos. Devouring the blood of the Chaos Emperor makes it easier to cultivate a flawed Chaos Body.

Here it must be said that using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art to devour the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor for cultivation is a perfect match for the Chaos Divine Embryo Method, and can be said to complement each other.

However, people from the Yao Guang Holy Land are not qualified to obtain and cultivate the Chaos Divine Embryo Technique.

Faced with the flaws and clear path pointed out by Li Daoming, the powerful figures of Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ruthless lineage wisely gave up devouring special physiques and instead used the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor to cultivate.

Without exception!

Even the exceptions all died! Ignoring the grand path pointed out by the Heavenly Emperor is simply ungrateful.

Even without the intervention of the powerful figures from the Boundless Holy Court, the enlightened individuals from the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ruthless Man's lineage had already ensured their demise.

Although the Yao Guang Holy Land inherited the legacy of the ruthless man, it does not devour those with special physiques. Therefore, it does not need to hunt down the geniuses of other forces, and naturally does not arouse the fear and hatred of many forces.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that the Holy Land of Yaoguang is the clear path pointed out by the Heavenly Emperor.

As long as the Yao Guang Holy Land does not devour the inheritance of ruthless cultivators with special physiques, with the power of the Heavenly Emperor, naturally no one will dare to bring up the ruthless inheritance of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Generation after generation in the Yao Guang Holy Land have cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art with the blood of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, and the results have been remarkable. In the past 100,000 years, many quasi-emperors who have cultivated the flawed Chaos Body have been born.

Some of them left behind their bloodline, and after countless years of reproduction, some even emerged who were born with chaotic energy and could cultivate chaotic energy.
