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

Chapter 606 Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin
If more than 500 Immortal Kings were to gather and form an array to unleash a single attack, even Emperor Light Immortal King would not dare to take it head-on, otherwise he would definitely be blown apart and severely injured. Moreover, its defense is extremely terrifying. Once the array is formed, it can become its own space-time, and even Emperor Light Immortal King's full-force attack would not be able to shake it.

At that time, they thought that with more than 500 Immortal Kings forming such a powerful formation, they could even fight against a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Passing through the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is definitely not a problem.

So they went and took the plunge!
As a result, they naturally failed to make it through. If they had, there would be no Immortal Alliance as we know it today.

Not only did they fail to make it through, they were also defeated quickly and miserably.

They formed a grand formation, creating their own space-time, with Di Xuan and Hong Yuan at the head, each occupying a position, and directly stepped into the ultimate ancient land.

As soon as they stepped into the ultimate ancient land, more than five hundred sword lights, as majestic as the power of heaven, slashed down at them.

Sensing the descending sword light, the many Immortal Kings were not worried at all. They believed that the power of the grand formation they had jointly deduced would definitely be able to disperse these hundreds of sword lights.

The power of hundreds of Celestial Kings attacking separately versus a combined attack from a large formation is on a completely different level.

So they activated their great formation and unleashed an incredibly terrifying attack, trying to obliterate all the falling sword light.

More than 500 Immortal Kings formed a great formation, and their attack was naturally extremely terrifying. If it weren't for the sword light left by the Desolate Emperor that pierced through eternity in this ultimate ancient land, it would surely have shattered the river of time and easily destroyed and severely injured an Emperor Light Immortal King.

But it was no use. Their attacks missed their target. The countless sword lights that struck down seemed to be in a different time and space from them, and they bypassed them without any obstruction.

As the sword light fell, all claims of self-contained spacetime and unparalleled defensive formations were rendered utterly ineffective, rendered meaningless as if the formations did not exist. The sword light pierced directly through the spacetime formed by the formations and struck more than five hundred Immortal Kings.

Caught off guard, all five hundred-plus Immortal Kings who had entered the ultimate ancient land were instantly severely injured, and several even perished.

After being severely injured, many Celestial Kings dared not continue advancing with their formations intact. They disregarded their injuries and hastily retreated from the Ultimate Ancient Land.

They all knew that the formation's attacks were ineffective, its defenses were completely ignored, and the powerful and terrifying formation could not stop the sword light for them.

If they don't leave quickly, another sword light will strike them down within a breath, and they, already severely injured, will surely die.

After leaving the ultimate ancient land, many immortal kings were still shaken, but also extremely relieved.

If they hadn't been cautious and hadn't become arrogant because of the great power of the formation, and hadn't stopped after entering the Ultimate Ancient Land, but instead rushed directly into the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Land, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Severely injured, they might not even have time to leave the Ultimate Ancient Land before another sword light descends, potentially wiping them out completely.

Since then, many Immortal Kings have only studied the sword light left by the Desolate Emperor at the edge of the Ultimate Ancient Land. Occasionally, one or two ruthless individuals would enter the Ultimate Ancient Land to hone themselves by drawing upon a sword light left by the Desolate Emperor, but none of them ever mentioned venturing into the Ultimate Ancient Land.

It's not that they don't want to try, but that they see no hope of succeeding.

Therefore, not only was Di Xuan surprised, but the other Immortal Kings also looked at Cangwu with inexplicable gazes.

It's as if it's saying, "Have you gone mad from practicing spiritual cultivation?"
It's as if it's saying, "You're a true warrior!"
It's as if it's saying, "You've had enough of living and want to die, don't drag us down with you."

……

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Cangwu, please forgive me, but I don't think there's anything to discuss about this matter. I disagree and have no intention of participating," said the Hun Tian Immortal King first.

"Brother Cangwu, we're sorry, but we don't intend to participate either!" said several powerful Immortal Kings. If there was any hope of success, they would risk their lives without hesitation.

But with no hope of success, they didn't want to take a sword for nothing; if they did, it would take tens of thousands of years to recover.

……

Soon, most of the Celestial Kings spoke up and refused, no longer intending to join forces to venture into the Ultimate Ancient Land.

“Cangwu, you are well aware of how terrifying the sword light left behind by the Desolate Emperor is. Many fellow Daoists disagree with it, so you'd better give up this idea. However, if you want to go and try it yourself, we will not stop you!” Di Xuan said.

Despite the rejections from numerous Celestial Kings, Celestial King Cangwu remained calm and composed. He glanced at the assembled Celestial Kings and then said:
"Fellow Daoists, I also know how terrifying the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is. If I didn't have a certain degree of confidence, why would I mention it again?"

Even if we fail, as long as we withdraw in time, we'll at most be severely injured and need tens of thousands of years to recover. But if we succeed, we can all step into the world beyond the sword light, perhaps even breaking through to the King realm and becoming an Emperor. Even if we can't break through the King realm and enter the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, we might still be able to advance further.

"Are you really confident?" Di Xuan asked.

“If you are really confident, why not let us try again with you!” Hongyuan said.

"No rush, Fellow Daoist Cangwu. You said you were confident, so what are you planning to do? Let's work together to deduce it. If it's feasible, then we'll join forces to venture into it," said the Chaotic Heaven Immortal King.

"Nine dragons pulling the coffin!" Immortal King Cangwu uttered four words calmly.

"What did you say? Nine dragons pulling a coffin?" Many Immortal Kings were not calm, especially Hongyuan Immortal King and many Immortal Kings from the ancient immortal lineage and the alien realm.

Even Li Daoming showed a hint of surprise.

Nine dragons pulling a coffin—others may not know its whereabouts, but how could he not?

They're just wandering around in the human world!

He had actually considered acquiring the Nine Dragons Coffin, but after working on it for a while, he realized it was pointless.

Inside the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, the scriptures left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor for repairing the Immortal Realm, and the small Immortal Realm contained within, have already been obtained by him. As for the rest, the corpses of the nine giant dragons are of no use to him, and the bronze coffin is not something he can utilize.

Used for fighting? Aside from being hard enough, it doesn't seem to contain any great laws, making it impossible to refine and not very useful.

Directly dismantling it and using it as divine material to integrate into his Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, the Wuji Dao Disc? That's a good idea, but don't you even consider the origin of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin? Let alone him being just a Di Guang Immortal King, even if he were an Immortal Emperor, he couldn't do that.

……

After much deliberation, he finally threw the Nine Dragons Coffin into the human world and left it there.

Now that the Immortal King Cangwu intends to use the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin to venture into the Ultimate Ancient Land, has he truly discovered the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and the whereabouts of the Human Realm? Or is it just a rumor or a misunderstanding?
Although surprised and suspicious, Li Daoming did not show it at all, nor did he care much.

Even if the Nine Dragons Pull the Coffin and the whereabouts of the human realm are discovered, so what?
With his strength, would anyone still dare to covet the human realm or the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?

If so, he will let them know what the gap is, let them know that even if he can only stand for a few breaths at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, he is not someone below the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level who can deal with him.
