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

Chapter 598 Emperor Xuan Sword

"If you want to create distance, you'll have to see if I agree!" Li Daoming's eyes gleamed, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body. He took a step forward, like an unparalleled celestial emperor walking along the river of time.

Surprisingly, they arrived behind Di Xuan and intercepted him.

"Kill!" Li Daoming was filled with fighting spirit and unleashed punch after punch, raining down on Di Xuan like a storm.

Faced with Li Daoming's relentless attacks, even though Di Xuan had fully activated the Heavenly Profound Cauldron, he was unable to withstand it and was sent flying backwards. His powerful body was cracked, and countless drops of immortal blood were scattered across the void of the Boundary Sea.

For a moment, he was beaten so badly by Li Daoming that he had no power to fight back.

"Ahhh..." After enduring dozens of moves from Li Daoming, Di Xuan let out a series of angry roars that echoed throughout the boundless void of the Boundary Sea.

Suddenly, his aura surged, and countless beams of immortal light descended from the Heavenly Profound Cauldron above his head, firmly blocking Li Daoming's attack.

Moreover, a celestial sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he slashed down again and again, each strike releasing countless strands of sword energy that soared into the sky.

Each wisp of sword energy could tear through space and time, shattering a realm. Billions of sword energies merged into one, transforming into a heaven-reaching immortal sword capable of severing the river of time, piercing through space and time, and slashing down towards Li Daoming.

Li Daoming hadn't expected that Di Xuan had such a hidden trick up his sleeve. His sudden outburst caught even him off guard!

However, Li Daoming showed no concern, no emotion, and did not even use the Wuji Emperor Fist to fight back.

With a "hum," the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram on his back spun rapidly, and boundless Yin-Yang Dao energy flowed, evolved, and intertwined. The Heavenly Immortal Sword, which could pierce through time and space and sever the long river of years, struck the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, but it was like an arrow hitting a mud pit, losing its edge and unable to cut through the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram or harm him in the slightest.

However, Di Xuan suddenly erupted, not just unleashing one sword strike, but hundreds of sword strikes in succession. Hundreds of Heavenly Immortal Swords fell one after another, still shaking the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram and making it slightly unstable. Li Daoming was also cleaved away.

"What a magnificent immortal sword!" Li Daoming moved his hands, using the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram to obliterate all the immortal swords, stabilizing his body, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the immortal sword that Di Xuan had suddenly taken out. Its grade was definitely no less than that of the Heavenly Profound Cauldron, and in terms of attack, it was even better than the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

At this moment, Li Daoming couldn't help but feel a sense of awe: Di Xuan truly lived up to his reputation as a Celestial King before the era of Emperor Luo. Having lived for countless years, his foundation was indeed profound, and he had many trump cards.

Of the artifacts already displayed, there are two Immortal King artifacts that have been refined to their peak. With these two Immortal King artifacts, his strength is at least 60-70% greater than if he were empty-handed.

Moreover, these are only the cards that have already been revealed; we don't know how many more cards there are yet to be shown.

As for him, having only broken through to the Immortal King realm for a little over 100,000 years, although his combat power is formidable and has already touched the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, he really doesn't have much foundation or many trump cards.

The only thing he could call a trump card was the Immortal King's Heart.

That would allow him to quickly absorb and restore his original essence in the face of a life-or-death battle and severe depletion of his original essence.

As for the others, even his natal weapon, it hasn't reached its peak yet due to the short time it's been used, so it can't offer him much help.

Let alone increasing his main body's combat power by several tens of percent, it wouldn't even be possible to increase his Yin-Yang Dao Body's combat power by half a percent.

Just as Li Daoming was extinguishing the Heavenly Immortal Sword and feeling sentimental, Di Xuan took the opportunity to create distance between them.

He pushed the Heavenly Profound Cauldron to its limit, and hazy ancient realms emerged, rapidly forming a terrifying array centered on the cauldron. At that moment, the Emperor Profound Sword flew from his hand, unleashing an incomparably terrifying sword aura. Although there was only one, it revealed a terrifying sharpness, even more ruthless and ferocious than the hundreds of Heavenly Immortal Swords before, and charged towards Li Daoming.

"Boom!" Li Daoming ignored the Emperor Xuan Sword. He was confident that the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram could block the Emperor Xuan Sword for him. He threw punch after punch, aiming to knock the Heavenly Xuan Cauldron away and break the formation that was about to take shape.

At this moment, under the interference of the Emperor Xuan Sword, even though the Mysterious Formation had not yet fully formed, it was difficult for him to knock the Heavenly Profound Cauldron away for the time being, thanks to Emperor Xuan's control and the enhancement of the Mysterious Formation.

With the Heavenly Profound Cauldron suppressing the inexplicable formation, he would find it difficult to completely break it down without destroying the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

For a moment, Li Daoming and Di Xuan were locked in a stalemate. He was unable to knock away the Di Xuan Cauldron, and Di Xuan was unable to make the mysterious formation fully take shape.

At that very moment, while Li Daoming was fighting Di Xuan, many Immortal Kings from the Immortal Alliance who were not in seclusion also sensed the commotion and headed towards the Void Battlefield of the Boundary Sea.

"Who is this? I've never seen him before. How can he be so powerful that he can fight against Emperor Xuan Immortal King?" asked an Immortal King who had been in seclusion for a long time and had just emerged from seclusion.

“That’s the Wuji Immortal King. He only came here more than 20,000 years ago and joined the Immortal Alliance,” said an Immortal King who knew Li Daoming.

"How terrifying is the Boundless Immortal King! Even the Emperor Profound Immortal King has difficulty gaining the upper hand."

"It's truly terrifying. Did you notice? That Wuji Immortal King hasn't even used his natal Immortal King weapon yet, while Emperor Xuan Immortal King has already been forced to use two Immortal King weapons."

"Emperor Xuan Immortal King actually possesses two such powerful Immortal King weapons. It seems that he did not use his full strength when he fought against Hongyuan Immortal King before."

"Wait a minute, the Wuji Immortal King only came here and joined the Immortal Alliance more than 20,000 years ago. So he must have been an Immortal King born in this era. Does that mean he's at most a few million years old now?"

"Indeed! What an incredible, unparalleled Immortal King!" one of the Immortal Kings exclaimed.

"I wonder if the Boundless Immortal King broke through to the Emperor Light Immortal King level after joining the Immortal Alliance, or before joining the Immortal Alliance."

"They must have broken through after joining the Immortal Alliance. Di Xuan and Hong Yuan both broke through to the Emperor Light Immortal King level after comprehending the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor."

“No, Brother Wuji broke through before he came to the Immortal Alliance!” said Immortal King Jiuyuan.

Others might not know, but he was the first to encounter it and was easily crushed. How could he not know?
The Immortal King Wuji must have been the Emperor Light Immortal King when he first arrived at the Immortal Alliance. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this Immortal King giant to be so powerless and to have been slapped to pieces several times.

“Fellow Daoist Wuji had already broken through to the Emperor Light Immortal King level before coming to the Immortal Alliance! Moreover, he should have made further progress in the past 20,000 years,” said the Hun Tian Immortal King.

Ten or twenty thousand years ago, he heard that a new Immortal King had arrived in the Immortal Alliance, and that he was powerful and suspected to be the Emperor Light Immortal King, so he took the initiative to challenge him.

The result was as expected; he lost, and lost badly. He felt that the strength of the Wuji Immortal King at that time was probably no less than that of the Hongyuan Immortal King.

However, the strength displayed by the Wuji Immortal King at that time was not as terrifying as it is now. It must have been during these 20,000 years that he comprehended the sword light left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the classics collected in the Scripture Pavilion, and made further progress.
