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

Chapter 616 Pleasure and Frustration

"No, this should be a mysterious application of the Great Dao of Spacetime. It is not an incarnation, and it does not carry any power. It is just a projection!" Di Xuan observed carefully and noticed something unusual.

Although he noticed something unusual, Di Xuan was not happy at all; instead, he was rather depressed.

The spacetime illusion was not an incarnation and carried no power; it was merely a projection. Even if they destroyed and obliterated it, Li Daoming would not lose any power.

However, it takes some effort and power for them to destroy these projections. Although each attack doesn't cost much, if the battle continues for hundreds of years, the accumulated cost will be considerable.

But we can't ignore it either. If we do, who knows if it's just a projection or an illusion?
Otherwise, if they are caught off guard, they may suffer heavy losses.

"Kill!" Instantly, countless Li Daomings jumped out of space-time, like an endless army, and charged towards the great formation formed by Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and many Immortal Kings.

Seeing this, Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and many other Immortal Kings had no choice but to take action and disperse these illusory forms.

Seeing the endless illusions of time and space being constantly destroyed by numerous immortal kings, Li Daoming, hidden deep within time and space, remained completely unmoved.

Suddenly, they sensed that the power of Di Xuan and Hong Yuan's attack had weakened.

With a thought, Li Daoming formed hand seals and unleashed hundreds of divine spells, concealing them within hundreds of illusory time-space avatars.

"Boom..." Suddenly, hundreds of spacetime illusions erupted, transforming into hundreds of divine powers that engulfed Emperor Xuan Hongyuan.

However, Di Xuan and Hong Yuan seemed to have been prepared, activating the Tianxuan Cauldron and Hongyuan Tower respectively to withstand Li Daoming's attack.

Sensing this, Li Daoming was not discouraged. He secretly activated his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes to observe the operation of the Myriad Immortals Formation. At the same time, he also projected a spacetime illusion to attack the Myriad Immortals Formation formed by Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and many Immortal Kings.

Hidden deep within spacetime, he occasionally unleashes various divine techniques to attack the Myriad Immortals Array formed by Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and numerous Immortal Kings. He also occasionally takes action himself, unleashing the Limitless Emperor Fist to kill Di Xuan and Hong Yuan.

For a time, Li Daoming operated with ease. Although he could not defeat the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, nor could he severely injure Di Xuan and Hong Yuan, he still managed to beat them into a sorry state.

"Found it!" Soon, smiles appeared on the faces of the hundreds of Immortal Kings in the Myriad Immortals Formation.

Together they activated the Myriad Immortals Formation, unleashing an incomparably terrifying torrent of the Great Dao, which crashed towards the location they had jointly deduced.

However, just as they activated the great formation and prepared to launch an attack, Li Daoming saw the changes in the formation of the Myriad Immortals Great Formation through the Yin-Yang Divine Eye and moved to a different position by stepping on space and time.

Instantly, the smiles on the faces of the many immortal kings vanished; they could sense that their attacks had failed.

However, they were not discouraged. They all knew how difficult Li Daoming was to deal with, so they naturally did not expect to defeat him in one move.

Li Daoming, along with Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and numerous Immortal Kings, formed the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, engaging in a fierce battle with each other.

Li Daoming attacked the Myriad Immortals Formation formed by Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, and many Immortal Kings from time to time. Although he could not destroy the Myriad Immortals Formation, he caused Di Xuan and Hong Yuan to suffer injuries one after another.

Di Xuan and Hong Yuan were used as targets to draw Li Daoming's attacks from the outside.

Many immortal kings who formed the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation repeatedly used the two as bait to try to set a trap and capture Li Daoming's Dao body.

However, Li Daoming kept a close eye on the Myriad Immortals Formation with his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes at all times.

Although it is too early to see through the weaknesses of the Myriad Immortals Formation and break it, one can see the changes in the Great Dao Qi when the Myriad Immortals Formation changes, and avoid it in advance.

Seeing that using Di Xuan and Hong Yuan as bait failed to capture Li Daoming's physical body, the many Immortal Kings resorted to other methods. They even combined their efforts to curse Li Daoming by utilizing the wisp of his remaining energy and his true name.

However, Li Daoming uses the Great Dao of Yin and Yang to derive all paths, and all paths return to Yin and Yang, which naturally includes curses. Although he is not very proficient in them, he is familiar with all laws and paths, so he naturally has a way to solve curses.

In just a few breaths, he dispelled part of the curse, melted and devoured part of it with the Yin-Yang Chaos Void, and transferred part of it to Di Xuan through his methods, almost causing Di Xuan to suffer a great loss.

Seeing that the curse could not harm him, the many immortal kings joined forces and, following the cause and effect in the dark, locked onto him and launched a terrible attack.

Faced with numerous celestial kings locking onto cause and effect, Li Daoming was unable to escape using his spacetime illusion.

However, he could create weaker incarnations to take his place and make them bear the consequences for him.

……

The battle with the Myriad Immortals Formation, formed by Emperor Xuan, Hongyuan, and many Immortal Kings, lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Li Daoming fought with increasing gusto. Although he was indeed powerless against the Myriad Immortals Formation, and could only cause Di Xuan and Hong Yuan to suffer setbacks and injuries, he could not truly inflict serious damage on them.

But when facing them, he can unleash all his skills without any reservations, and have a satisfying battle.

The Dao and Dharma he deduced no longer existed only in deduction; they were truly tested in actual combat, allowing him to see the flaws and advantages of his Dao and Dharma.

He was confident that after this battle, he would be able to further refine and perfect his many Taoist techniques, taking them to a higher level.

Moreover, the methods of many Immortal Kings broadened his horizons and greatly enriched his combat experience.

To be honest, if the Immortal King who formed the Myriad Immortals Formation hadn't been weaker than him in terms of cultivation and reaction speed, and if he hadn't used his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes to constantly monitor the formation's operation, he might have actually been tricked by them.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs"!
Li Daoming grew increasingly exhilarated with each fight, while the many Celestial Kings became increasingly frustrated.

Before this, although they had experienced or witnessed Li Daoming's spacetime magic, they knew that his spacetime magic was extremely mysterious and difficult to deal with.

However, they were very confident that no matter how mysterious or difficult Li Daoming's spacetime techniques were, they could not stop the various methods they used together. Spacetime was powerful, but it was not invincible and not without ways to restrain it.

What they never expected was that Li Daoming was still holding back; his difficulty in dealing with them far exceeded their expectations.

Although it has been a short time and they have not yet used all their methods, they have already used many.

But he easily thwarted all their schemes using various methods.

He is knowledgeable in too many areas, too comprehensive, and coupled with his immense strength, it is almost impossible to find a way to restrain him.

At this moment, many Celestial Kings began to have a slight intention to retreat. They could not do anything to him even if they joined forces, and there was no way they could forcibly take the Nine Dragons Coffin from him.

If that's the case, why would they still want to be his enemy, fighting to the death?
If they were to become his enemies, it would be a fight to the death. Given the methods he had displayed, they couldn't even do anything to his Dao body, let alone his true form.

However, unless they stay together and form the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, with his methods, anyone below the level of a Supreme Immortal King, including even the Supreme Immortal King himself, could be in mortal danger.
