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

Chapter 609 The Plan: Unwilling to Turn Against Each Other
One faction consists of about four hundred Immortal Kings, led by Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and six other supreme Immortal King giants. They want to obtain the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin in order to cross the Ultimate Ancient Land and enter the world beyond the sword light. Some of them even have deeper intentions.

Although they share the same goal, their intentions are complex and their motivations differ.

For example, some people wanted to inquire about the details of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and asked Li Daoming to lend them the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin in the name of the Immortal Alliance.

For example, some people want to use the Nine Dragons Coffin to cross the final ancient land, but they don't intend to get it for free. They are willing to pay any price and will raise as much as they have.

Among this group, some wanted the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, but their attitude was not firm. If Li Daoming refused to compromise, they planned to give up. Others were firm in their attitude and planned to try diplomacy first, then force, willing to pay any price in exchange. However, if Li Daoming refused to compromise, they would forcibly seize it.

There was also a group of extremely greedy people who believed that Li Daoming was so powerful because he had obtained the inheritance of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. They wanted to combine the power of hundreds of Immortal Kings to force Li Daoming to hand over the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and the inheritance of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

……

Although the hundreds of Immortal Kings had differing and complex thoughts, under the joint impetus of six supreme Immortal King giants, including Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, Cang Wu, and Hun Tian, ​​after nearly an hour of discussion, they still managed to come up with a plan that the vast majority of Immortal Kings agreed upon:
They first negotiated with Li Daoming. If he was willing to trade the Nine Dragons Coffin to them, they were willing to pay any price, as long as they had the means to raise it.

If he refuses to make the deal, they will unite with hundreds of Celestial Kings to coerce him into agreeing.

If coercion is useless, then the only option is to forcibly seize him. Not only that, but if there is an opportunity, we should also kill his true form and destroy everything related to him. Of course, if there is no opportunity, we should exercise restraint and not kill his close relatives before killing him.

In fact, it's impossible that they didn't want to get something for nothing; they could have used the power of righteousness or the strength of many Immortal Kings to coerce Li Daoming into handing over the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. It's also impossible that they weren't interested in the possible existence of the Desolate Heaven Emperor's inheritance, which might fall into Li Daoming's hands.

However, the six supreme immortal king giants, including Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, Cang Wu, and Hun Tian, ​​as well as the vast majority of immortal kings, have not yet lost their minds.

Li Daoming is too strong. He can defeat a Di Guang Immortal King with just his Dao body, and defeat six Supreme Immortal King giants working together. Who knows how strong his true body is, and who knows what other trump cards and methods he has?

Moreover, his true body is not in the Immortal Alliance; what is in the Immortal Alliance is merely a Dao body. He also possesses extremely powerful spacetime divine arts and unparalleled speed.

Not to mention the more than 500 Immortal Kings in the Immortal Alliance, nearly 80 Immortal Kings stood on his side, and nearly 100 Immortal Kings did not intend to get involved.

Even if all the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Alliance joined forces, they wouldn't have much confidence or assurance that they could kill his Dao Body, let alone his True Body.

Yes, they weren't even confident they could kill his physical body.

Indeed, with hundreds of Immortal Kings joining forces, including two Emperor Light Immortal Kings and six Supreme Immortal King giants, no Immortal King could withstand them, not even his true form.

But he certainly wouldn't confront them head-on. With the profoundness of his spacetime magic and his strength, he could easily slip into the river of time and into the depths of spacetime before they even made a move.

At that time, what did it matter if there were hundreds of Celestial Kings? They couldn't catch up with him at all, and they couldn't do anything to his Dao Body.

Even his physical body couldn't do anything to him, let alone his true body, which was stronger and had more trump cards.

Unable to deal with his true form, they naturally didn't want to completely turn against him.

If they were to completely turn against him, they would be able to defeat him.

Even if he were defeated, he could have his Daoist body hold them off at all costs, and then escape with the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and his loved ones.

Next, they will face retaliation from the other side at all costs.

If he were to unleash the same technique that severely injured Di Xuan, even a Celestial King wouldn't survive a single blow, and neither would a Supreme Celestial King nor the Emperor Light Celestial King. In other words, aside from residing in the depths of the Boundary Sea, they would be unable to leave alone in the future; otherwise, even the Emperor Light Celestial King might not be able to guarantee their safety.

No, that's not right. Even if they live in seclusion at the end of the Boundary Sea, they may not be safe, because with his control over the Great Dao of Time and Space, he might be able to send his Dao body to sneak into their Daoist temple and kill them.

Moreover, what they fear most is his talent! With his talent, his chances of becoming a king or emperor in the future are definitely greater than theirs.

If he were to break through to become an emperor in the future and reach an even higher realm, even if hundreds of immortal kings joined forces, they would probably be like a group of ants, easily wiped out.

They didn't want to completely offend him and be punished by him in the future.

Although the many immortal kings have already discussed and come up with a plan that most of them agree on.

However, the two most qualified to represent the many Immortal Kings in negotiating with Li Daoming were Di Xuan and Hong Yuan, who were both Immortal Kings of Emperor Light.

In addition, Cangwu, Huntian, and four other people who are supreme immortal kings are also barely qualified.

However, none of the eight of them were willing to take the lead; they all wanted the other to take the lead.

Even if a deal is successfully reached by taking the lead, you might still be resented for standing up for yourself.

Although the legend of the nine dragons pulling the coffin is extremely miraculous and even the Celestial King could not shake it, it is still uncertain whether it can protect them through the ultimate ancient land.

If not, and he holds a grudge, the future will probably be difficult.

Even if he could, it would be even more troublesome if he also ventured through the Ultimate Ancient Land with them and entered a higher-level world.

Cangwu, in particular, offended Li Daoming by revealing the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in order to pass through the Ultimate Ancient Land and enter the world beyond the sword light.

He desperately needs more people to step forward and share the burden, lest Li Daoming focus all his attention on him, which would put him in danger.

The eight people looked at each other, all understanding that the others did not want to take the lead. However, seeing that Li Daoming was about to leave with Immortal King Xianyin and the others, they also understood that they had no choice but to step forward and join forces.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, wait!" Emperor Xuan Hongyuan and the other eight Immortal Kings shouted at the same time.

"May I ask if you are from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, fellow Daoist? Is the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin in your possession?" Di Xuan asked.

"I do indeed come from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is indeed in my hands!" Li Daoming said calmly, his expression unchanged.

He knew that many immortal kings had already made up their minds, and there was no point in denying it. Besides, he didn't want to deny it, nor did he need to.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to venture into the Ultimate Ancient Land? And enter the world beyond the sword light? In that world, perhaps we can all break through the King and become Emperors!" Hongyuan said.

"I don't want to!" Li Daoming uttered two words calmly and coldly, his gaze deep.
