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

Chapter 541 Finding the Emperor
With a thought, he summoned the Limitless Dao Disc and took out the Emperor's avatar from it.

With his hands moving rapidly, he formed a series of mysterious Dao seals. Countless Dao runes danced in the air, drawing upon ineffable Dao power and connecting the past, present, and future. Using the Emperor's avatar as a medium, he began to deduce the Emperor's whereabouts.

"How could this be? The sensation is so faint? It's intermittent, as if he's in an endlessly distant place? Could it be that he's not in this world?" Having deduced the result, Li Daoming frowned slightly.

He originally thought that finding the Emperor would be easy since he had mastered the Emperor's incarnation, but he never expected him to be so troublesome.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Daoming tried to deduce the result again, but it was still the same.

"It seems he is indeed not in this world, but if he is not in this world, where did he go? A strange world or the boundless chaotic sea?"

"Hopefully they've gone to a strange world, not the boundless chaotic sea, otherwise we'll be in big trouble," Li Daoming thought to himself.

If the Emperor were in the Strange World, and he were to arrive there in his true form now, using the Emperor's avatar as a medium, he would surely be able to deduce his identity and then kill him.

However, if he went to the boundless chaotic sea, even if he could track down his whereabouts with the help of the Emperor's avatar, he would not pursue him.

Because the Boundless Chaos Sea is too vast and dangerous, if he were to pursue them and get too far from the human realm, even if he left behind some means to guide his way back, he might not be able to find the way back. Furthermore, even if he is comparable to a Quasi-Immortal King, he cannot guarantee that he will not encounter danger in the Boundless Chaos Sea.

Of course, the most crucial point is that while the Emperor is indeed a threat, his threat level is not high enough for him to pursue and kill him at all costs.

He didn't pursue the Emperor Venerable; with the Emperor Venerable's strength, he might have been able to survive in the boundless chaotic sea.

If he survives and finds some good fortune, he will definitely be able to break through to the Immortal King level in the future, and he won't be an ordinary Immortal King.

He'll definitely be a big problem then!

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much. Let's go check out the strange world first! Maybe he's in the strange world!" With that thought, Li Daoming was about to break through the world barrier and enter the strange world.

However, as if remembering something, Li Daoming stopped in his tracks, separated his Yin-Yang Dao Body, and placed it in the human realm before breaking through the world barrier and entering the strange world.

Having entered the strange world, Li Daoming used the incarnation of the Emperor as a medium to conduct another deduction.

"Found it!" Suddenly, Li Daoming's eyes lit up, his gaze sharpening. Without hesitation, he immediately charged towards the location of the Emperor he had deduced.

"Boom!" As soon as he appeared, Li Daoming threw a punch, clashing with the Emperor who was attacking him, as if the heavens and earth were being created.

Li Daoming was slightly unsteady and took a few steps back. The Emperor was sent flying backward, but he did not give in and attacked again. The two exchanged nearly ten blows in a short period of time.

The heavens and earth collapsed, the river of time crumbled, and the past and present were thrown into chaos. The power of time between the two was extinguished, resulting in a great collapse.

Fortunately, Li Daoming separated his World Dao Body, and his Chaos Dao Body, which was stationed in the strange world, also arrived and took action to block the aftershocks of the battle between the two and stabilize this universe. Otherwise, this universe might have collapsed under the collision between the two.

"Kill!" The two continued their fierce battle. Soon, the Emperor was sent flying, coughing up blood. His body was covered in cracks, from which immortal blood oozed.

"How is this possible?" The Emperor looked shocked, unable to accept this fact.

Eighty or ninety thousand years ago, they had a great battle. Even when Li Daoming split into three powerful Dao bodies and attacked him four against one, they were still inferior to him.

If it weren't for his incredibly powerful defensive magic, preventing him from being defeated in a short time, and if it weren't for the fact that he carried a treasure that allowed him to quickly recover his full strength just as he was about to be exhausted, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him.

Then, by employing a mutually destructive tactic, he was severely injured. Furthermore, fearing that the powerful figures from the Boundless Holy Court would come to his aid, he dared not continue the battle. Therefore, he might not necessarily lose.

But now? Only 80,000 or 90,000 years have passed. Even without his three Dao bodies, and only his original body, he is no match for him!
At this moment, even with his firm will and unwavering belief in his invincibility, he couldn't help but waver and begin to doubt himself.

Seeing that the Emperor was somewhat unsettled, Li Daoming was about to continue his attack, severely injuring or even killing him.

He never shows mercy or morality towards enemies, especially powerful ones; he only does his utmost to eliminate them.

Before he could even make a move, a deafening roar resounded, and a vast, surging wave swept across the four seas and eight wastelands. The terrifying aura was enough to make even experts of the Imperial Path tremble.

Hundreds of figures appeared around the battlefield, led by two imposing figures. Their heroic bearing was awe-inspiring, with thick black hair. Every move they made caused the heavens and earth to tremble and groan.

Those who came were none other than Wushi, Qianyuan, and many powerful beings above the Heavenly Venerable level from the Wuji Holy Court and the Strange World.

"It's actually the Emperor! No wonder you took action personally and caused such a commotion. You really managed to lure him out!" Wu Shi murmured.

"Wu Shi and Qian Yuan!" Upon seeing the many powerful figures who had arrived, especially Wu Shi and Qian Yuan who were leading them, the Emperor's expression became even more unpleasant.

He was familiar with these two people.

In the past, he had secretly infiltrated strange worlds and stayed there for a long time.

During this period, Li Daoming (whom the Emperor believed to be the Chaos Dao Body), Wushi, and Qianyuan would fight each other in the inner chaos every once in a while.

Although he did not witness their battle firsthand, he sensed the Dao fluctuations emanating from their clash from afar.

Based on the fluctuations of the Great Dao during their battle, he roughly determined Li Daoming's strength. Although Li Daoming was close to catching up with him, he was still somewhat inferior. As for Wushi and Qianyuan, they were far weaker than him, and even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be his match.

Although he felt that Li Daoming himself was no match for him, he also knew that Li Daoming could split into three powerful Dao bodies. If he added three more Dao bodies, he would definitely be no match for him.

Moreover, although Wushi and Qianyuan are weaker, their combined strength poses a great threat to him.

Even if he successfully transforms again and his strength increases greatly, he is still no match for the three of them working together.

However, considering that the three of them fought each other in the inner chaos every now and then, Li Daoming was really not in the human realm, but in a strange world.

He felt that his previous plan—to refine the two realms into a cauldron and refine everyone's Dao fruits to achieve his own—might not be impossible to succeed.

He can secretly inscribe Dao patterns in both realms first, and by the time he completes his next transformation and his strength increases significantly, the Dao patterns will be almost fully inscribed.

At that time, one can activate the Dao patterns, devour all things, and refine the two worlds into a cauldron.

There are too many powerful beings in the strange world, and with their obstruction, it is impossible to succeed in a short time. However, there are no powerful beings in the human world who can stop him, so he can easily refine the human world into a cauldron.
