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

Chapter 585 Destroying Fleeting Beauty
At this moment, facing the palm strike suddenly unleashed by Li Daoming's Yin-Yang Dao Body, the Nine Yuan Immortal King's expression changed drastically.

He originally thought he had overestimated Li Daoming enough, but facing this palm strike, he realized that he had greatly underestimated him.

He had sparred with many supreme immortal kings, and although those supreme immortal kings were far stronger than him, they could not put such pressure on him at all, and they did not have such terrifying strength.

Facing him, he felt as if he were facing the two Immortal Kings, Di Xuan and Hong Yuan.

Di Xuan and Hong Yuan were not supreme immortal kings, but rather Di Guang immortal kings.

Could it be that this unfamiliar Immortal King before us is not only a supreme Immortal King giant, but also the Emperor Light Immortal King?

The Nine Yuan Immortal King was utterly shocked, but he had no time to think about anything else. What he needed to do now was to block this incredibly terrifying palm strike.

"Drink!" The Nine Yuan Immortal King suddenly erupted, and endless brilliant immortal light bloomed from his body, shaking the space-time shrouded by Li Daoming's palm. He kept swinging his fists to resist the descending giant palm that covered the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he unleashed nine punches in succession, nine terrifying Daos converging into one and exploding in a concentrated burst to break Li Daoming's palm strike.

The astonishing clash between fist and palm shattered the flow of time and space, causing a cataclysmic destruction of heaven and earth. An incomparably terrifying aura of destruction spread outwards, rippling towards the past and future, seemingly attempting to sever the flow of this period of time.

Although this was just a casual palm strike from Li Daoming, and although the Nine Yuan Immortal King unleashed his full power to resist, the gap between the two was too great, and the Nine Yuan Immortal King was simply unable to block this palm strike.

An incredibly terrifying palm strike landed, obliterating the fist imprint that had incorporated nine Great Daos. The remaining force of the colossal palm, though seemingly gone, slammed towards the Nine Yuan Immortal King, striking his physical body.

Even though the Nine Yuan Immortal King was a giant among immortal kings with an incredibly powerful and terrifying physical body, he was torn to pieces by this palm strike and exploded into a bloody mist.

Even the immortal primordial spirit of the immortal king was unable to dodge in time, and a portion of it was affected, exploding into a rain of light.

However, once one cultivates to the level of a Celestial King, one possesses the attribute of immortality and indestructibility, making them not so easy to deal with.

In an instant, the physical body and primordial spirit of the Nine Yuan Immortal King, which had been blasted into a blood mist and light rain, reassembled and reformed. Although his aura fluctuated slightly, it did not decline.

Clearly, Li Daoming's attack just now, while causing injury, was not fatal.

Seeing this, Li Daoming was not surprised. Not to mention that he did not go all out, and not to mention that this was a powerful Immortal King, even if he went all out against an ordinary Immortal King, he would not be able to kill him with a single slap.

Because the Immortal King's primordial spirit is in harmony with the Dao Fruit, to destroy the Immortal King's primordial spirit is to destroy the Immortal King's Great Dao, which is not easy. Even if one has the strength to crush the opponent or even capture the opponent alive in one blow, it will still take a certain amount of time to completely destroy the opponent's primordial spirit.

Although he was not surprised by the other party's situation, Li Daoming did not stop there and pointed out with another finger.

Being defeated by him once wouldn't cause serious injuries, but if he defeated them hundreds or thousands of times, even a Celestial King would have his essence exhausted and his primordial spirit destroyed.

Before he could catch his breath, the Nine Yuan Immortal King sensed a terrifying crisis rushing towards his head. He saw a terrifying finger, like a world-destroying calamity finger, crushing down on him.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait! I was reckless just now. I am willing to pay the price. Please calm down, fellow Daoist!" Nine Yuan Immortal King shouted as he defended himself.

Even though he had just been beaten to a pulp, he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. He only wanted to pay the price and sever his karmic ties with Li Daoming.

After that exchange, no, I should say I was completely crushed.

He knew that even if Li Daoming had not yet reached the level of Emperor Light Immortal King, he was probably close.

He didn't want to offend someone at this level, because if no one helped him, he wouldn't even be able to escape from the Emperor Light Immortal King.

Upon hearing the words of the Nine Yuan Immortal King, Li Daoming's expression shifted slightly. In truth, he didn't care at all about the price the king mentioned.

Because he was so wealthy, he could mobilize the vast world origins of the Boundless Immortal Realm at will, as well as a large amount of Immortal King blood and a considerable number of Immortal King hearts.

Furthermore, the immortal medicines from the human realm, after arriving in the Boundless Immortal Realm, absorbed a massive amount of immortal matter and some of the world's origin, and were completely restored.

Ancient tea trees, Bodhi trees, and ginseng fruit trees are all celestial medicines at the level of immortal kings.

He was confident that the Nine Yuan Immortal King could not offer him any treasures that would tempt him.

However, being new to the area, he needed to find someone to understand the situation here.

The Celestial King giant before us is quite powerful and should have some understanding of this place. We should be able to let him know the situation here.

Although he had already made up his mind, Li Daoming did not retract the finger that had already been lowered.

It's not that they can't take it back. At their level, they can have 100% control over their power. Taking back the power they've unleashed is as easy as a thought.

But he didn't intend to take it back; he planned to teach the Nine Yuan Immortal King another lesson.

In an instant, the Nine Yuan Immortal King was crushed by Li Daoming's finger, then recovered, but exploded again. This happened several times before he finally stabilized his body.

Seeing that Li Daoming had not continued his attack, Jiu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, his expression softened, and he said with a hint of respect, "My name is Jiu Yuan. Thank you for your mercy, fellow Daoist!"

"This is the elixir of immortality, a moment of fleeting beauty. When a true immortal takes it, his essence, energy, spirit, and origin will be exhausted in an instant, reaching the ultimate sublimation. His cultivation level and strength can be raised to the level of Immortal King."

"I will give this medicine to you as compensation, and I hope you can let this matter go."

"A fleeting moment of beauty?" Upon hearing this, Li Daoming became somewhat interested.

It is truly extraordinary that it can unleash a person's essence, energy, and origin in an instant, transforming them into powerful cultivation strength. This made Li Daoming want to explore its mysteries.

Interested in the fleeting beauty, Li Daoming naturally wouldn't refuse, and waved his hand to gather it in his palm.

However, at this moment, Li Daoming only checked it briefly to make sure that no tricks had been used, and then put it into the Chaos Realm in the Immortal King's heart, preparing to study its mysteries in detail later.

His most important task now is to understand this place. As for studying the fleeting beauty of youth, he already has the materials and will have plenty of time for that later.

"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Daoist!" Seeing that Li Daoming had accepted the elixir, the Nine Yuan Immortal King was completely relieved.

Now that he has accepted the apology, the other party should not cause him any more trouble.

"What forgiveness? I never said that accepting the elixir would end our karma." Li Daoming spoke coldly and ruthlessly in a flat tone.

"Then what does Fellow Daoist wish to do?" Nine Yuan Immortal King was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, his heart barely containing a trace of anger.

He merely used the pressure of a Celestial King to test him, and he was already blasted apart twice, even sacrificing a Celestial Herb. Isn't that enough? What more do you want from him?

Moreover, instead of settling the matter here, what's the point of taking his elixir?
