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

Chapter 534 Each with their own agenda, all sublimated.
"Fellow Daoist, I..." Another Supreme Being was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, but before he could finish speaking, Qian Yuan interrupted him:

"Fellow Daoist? You dare to challenge me?"

"You dare to attack my realm without the strength of the Heavenly Emperor? Today you will leave your lives behind!"

After saying that, Qian Yuan made his move. He had made one move before but hadn't made another because he needed to spend some time casting spells to weaken the suppression of the Great Dao Laws of the Human Realm on him, and to transfer more power to unleash greater strength in order to deal with these Supreme Beings.

As for now, without further preparation, he simply cannot devote more power to the human realm; it is time to take action.

He slapped the many supreme beings, releasing the power of the Great Dao. Runes appeared one after another, stirring up the past and present, as if penetrating the immortal realm, and bringing about indescribable Dao power. In the end, all the runes merged and shone with immortal light!
The "Return of All Paths to the Origin" technique is a supreme forbidden immortal art belonging to the Qian Yuan realm. This stunning palm strike transcends human comprehension, is incredibly terrifying and domineering, and its skill astonishes the world.

Seeing Qian Yuan's crystal-clear immortal palm strike towards them, all the Supreme Beings' expressions changed.

I couldn't help but recall the overwhelming sense of powerlessness I felt when I was just thrown into that strange world.

However, they immediately sensed something was wrong. Although this palm strike was also incredibly terrifying and made them feel a great sense of crisis, it didn't seem as terrifying as the previous one.

Although they had some doubts, they didn't have time to think about it and quickly unleashed their strongest imperial laws to bombard the Heavenly Immortal Palm.

The flower of the Great Dao is blooming, and the brilliant light between them is burning fiercely. Here, the sky and earth are collapsing and the star fields of the heavens are destroyed into ruins, and the laws of the Great Dao are annihilated into nothingness.

"As expected, his strength isn't as terrifying as it used to be!"

"How did his strength weaken so much?" a Supreme Being wondered.

"I understand now. He couldn't descend in his true form; he only sent down a portion of his power, which was suppressed by the laws of the human realm," a Supreme Being said in realization.

Having understood Qian Yuan's condition, the many supreme beings were no longer afraid.

From that very first palm strike, they knew that even if they had reached the pinnacle of their abilities, they would still be no match for the peak Qian Yuan. However, it was only a portion of the power that had descended to the human realm, and it seemed that it was not invincible.

A terrifying battle broke out, with blazing immortal light blooming and illuminating the vast world. The sound of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting resounded, shaking the nine heavens and ten earths, the six directions and eight wastelands.

However, many Supreme Beings quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and many were beaten to a pulp. One Supreme Being was even killed before he could reach the pinnacle of his power.

Although Qian Yuan only lowered one hand and was restricted by the laws of the human realm, his strength was not weak, no weaker than the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body, and no weaker than Wan Qing now.

And what about the twenty-eight supreme beings? None of them have yet reached their ultimate sublimation.

The difference in strength between a Supreme Being who has not reached the ultimate level of sublimation and one who has reached the ultimate level of sublimation is enormous.

A supreme being who has reached the ultimate level of sublimation can withstand two or three supreme beings who have not reached the ultimate level of sublimation before the ultimate level of sublimation ends.

In other words, the twenty-seven supreme beings who did not reach the ultimate level of sublimation are roughly equivalent to about ten supreme beings who have reached the ultimate level of sublimation.

The dozen or so supreme beings who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation were no match for Wan Qing in his current state, nor were they a match for the single hand that Qian Yuan had brought down.

However, if they had all reached their ultimate level of refinement, then things would be different; the hand that Qian Yuan descended would certainly be no match for them.

"Boom!" Suddenly, four terrifying auras rose up, and endless imperial laws burst forth, with countless strands of immortal light and millions of auspicious rays.

Four people finally succumbed to the ultimate sublimation and regained their peak imperial status.

"Aren't you going to reach the pinnacle of your sublimation? If you don't, and continue to drag this out, we'll all be worn down to death!" one of the Supreme Beings who had reached the pinnacle of sublimation roared. However, those Supreme Beings who hadn't yet reached the pinnacle of sublimation didn't react at all.

Do you expect them to reach the pinnacle of their abilities with just one sentence?
Think more.

If they were to reach the pinnacle of their power, they certainly wouldn't be able to remain sealed off without initiating a Dark Turmoil. And initiating a Dark Turmoil? With the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body and the Boundless Holy Court present, how could they possibly launch a Dark Turmoil?

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they will never go to the extreme of sublimation.

Seeing that the other supreme beings had no intention of reaching the ultimate level of sublimation, the four supreme beings who had already reached the ultimate level of sublimation turned serious and roughly understood their thoughts.

In an instant, he did not intend to fight Qian Yuan to the death, but only tried his best to protect himself.

They intend to use the power of Qian Yuan to force the other supreme beings to reach the ultimate level of sublimation.

Only when they too have reached the pinnacle of their abilities can they then defeat Qian Yuan.

After defeating Qian Yuan, they would join him in launching a dark upheaval to prolong their lives or storm the strange world in order to survive.

Seeing this, Qian Yuan tacitly avoided targeting those Supreme Beings who had already reached the pinnacle of their cultivation, and instead focused all his efforts on attacking those Supreme Beings who had not yet reached the pinnacle of their cultivation.

We must do everything in our power to kill those supreme beings who, without achieving ultimate sublimation, once instigated dark turmoil, so that they don't even have the chance to achieve ultimate sublimation.

Under the indulgence of several ascended supreme beings, the situation of many supreme beings who had not yet reached the ultimate ascension became even more difficult. Before long, three more supreme beings were forced to reach the ultimate ascension to protect themselves, and two supreme beings were killed.

At this point, of the twenty-eight supreme beings, only twenty-five remain. Seven have already reached the pinnacle of their power, while eighteen have not yet achieved that pinnacle.

At this moment, they saw that the seven supreme beings, who had already reached the pinnacle of their powers, were all tacitly holding back.

The eighteen supreme beings who had not yet reached their ultimate sublimation dared not play any more tricks and hurriedly reached their ultimate sublimation to restore their peak imperial strength.

They all knew very well that if they didn't reach the pinnacle of their own power, those supreme beings who had already reached the pinnacle of their own power would definitely not go all out and would definitely hold back.

Qian Yuan would also tacitly kill them, trying his best to injure them in order to alleviate the pressure ahead.

Faced with the tacit understanding between many Supreme Beings and Qian Yuan, their pressure will definitely increase.

Later on, they might end up like the two supreme beings before them, dying before even having the chance to reach the pinnacle of their power.

"Rumble..." The eighteen supreme beings ascended to the ultimate level together, and their terrifying aura shook the entire universe. The endless imperial laws spread across the nine heavens and ten earths, the four seas and eight wastelands, and the entire universe trembled.

They also sensed that the eighteen Supreme Beings had almost simultaneously reached the pinnacle of their sublimation. The seven Supreme Beings who had already reached the pinnacle of their sublimation no longer held back and were about to unleash their full power to repel or even leave one of Qian Yuan's hands behind.

They have already reached the pinnacle of their spiritual attainment. Even if they were to exit this state now, it would be difficult for them to remain in this state and to endure until the next path to immortality opens hundreds of years later.

To survive, they either need to break into the strange world or instigate a dark upheaval to extract enough life essence.

However, both of these options are almost impossible. The former is blocked by the terrifyingly powerful Qian Yuan, while the latter is blocked by the Heavenly Emperor's faith and the Boundless Holy Court.
