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

Chapter 660 Final Result

They challenged six Emperor Light Immortal Kings, including Cangwu and Huntian.

Even the weakest, Kong Lin and Li Wuhen, were able to maintain a close match with their opponents. The remaining four, although they did not defeat their opponents within a century, all held the upper hand.

Having gained the upper hand, one naturally replaces the opponent's ranking. Even if the two are evenly matched, one will be ranked after an equally matched opponent, and their rankings will change.

……

With the conclusion of the first group battle of the Celestial Kings, many Celestial Kings fell silent, deeply disappointed.

This is especially true for the eight Emperor Light Immortal Kings, including Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, Cang Wu, and Hun Yuan.

How many years have they been cultivating themselves? They couldn't even remember!
And what about Ye Yixian, Ye Fan, Ye Liuxian...? They have been cultivating for less than 800,000 years, which is less than one-tenth of their cultivation time.

But when they faced them, they not only failed to achieve a complete victory, but only managed to draw three times, while the rest fell into a disadvantageous position.

What made it even harder for Hongyuan, Cangwu, Hunyuan, and the other three to accept was that their opponents had not yet broken through to the Emperor Light Immortal King level; they were merely Supreme Immortal King giants.

They fought Ye Fan, Ye Liuxian, Ye Yunxian... even though they were of a higher level, they fought to a draw or even lost.

Once upon a time, they were also unparalleled geniuses, defeating enemies of higher ranks as easily as drinking water or eating.

But now, they are the ones being defeated by someone of a higher level, which is really hard for them to accept.

Although it was hard to accept, everyone had to pull themselves together. The second round of the Immortal King group battle had begun! They needed to face new challenges.

In another round of challenges, Ye Yixian took the lead by challenging the Ruthless Empress. Seeing this, Xia Qinghuang challenged Wushi, and Di Xuan challenged Xin Hua. Hongyuan and Ye Fan did not challenge anyone else; they were challenged by Ye Liuxian and Li Wuyou respectively.

The remaining Ye Yunxian, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Li Wuhen, and Wan Qing also challenged the Immortal Kings ranked above them.

However, they did not focus their attention on the many Emperor Light Immortal Kings, as many of them were already ranked ahead of the Emperor Light Immortal Kings.

There weren't enough Emperor Light Immortal Kings ranked ahead of them for Kong Lin to challenge, so she had no choice but to challenge Ye Liuxian.

……

Soon, more than three hundred years passed, and the three group battles of the various Immortal Kings had all ended. The Immortal King Ranking Battle organized by Li Daoming had also come to a complete end.

At this moment, a list of Immortal Kings appeared in the sky, hanging in the boundless chaos, with each true name shining brightly, like an eternal and indestructible trace of the Dao.

On the Immortal King Ranking, from top to bottom, are the Ruthless Empress, Wu Shi, Ye Yixian, Di Xuan, Xia Qinghuang, Xin Hua, Hong Yuan, Ye Fan, Li Wuyou, Ye Liuxian, Ye Yunxian, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Cang Wu, Wan Qing, Li Wuhen, Hun Tian...

In the second group battle, Ye Yixian faced the Ruthless Empress and Xia Qinghuang faced Wu Shi, neither of whom were a match for her. Di Xuan challenged Xin Hua and, although he did not win, he gained the upper hand.

As for Ye Liuxian's challenge against Hongyuan, she was at a disadvantage from the start. Although Ye Liuxian continued to grow and improve during the fierce battle, she was unable to turn the tide before the end of the battle.

As for Li Wuyou's challenge to Ye Fan, if they were to fight head-on, Li Wuyou would definitely not be Ye Fan's match. However, knowing that he was no match for Ye Fan, Li Wuyou would naturally not confront him directly and would instead use the Spacetime Dao as a guerrilla tactic.

Even though Ye Fan was very strong, and Li Wuyou couldn't do anything to him, the Great Dao of Time and Space was too difficult to deal with, and Ye Fan couldn't defeat Li Wuyou either, so they ended up in a draw. As for Ye Yunxian, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Li Wuhen, and Wan Qing, Ye Yunxian and Wan Qing won their challenges, while everyone else drew.

In the third group battle, Hongyuan challenged Xia Qinghuang, Li Wuyou challenged Wushi, and the others also challenged those ranked higher, almost all of whom were defeated or fell into a disadvantageous position.

For example, Hongyuan was no match for Xia Qinghuang. Li Wuyou challenged Wushi, hoping to use the difficulty of the Great Dao of Time and Space to fight Wushi to a draw.

Unfortunately, Wu Shi is not Ye Fan. He is not only the Emperor Light Immortal King, but has also gone far on the path from King to Emperor, and has a profound understanding of the Great Dao of Time.

If Li Wuyou were also an Emperor Light Immortal King, perhaps he could still make Wushi helpless by relying on the difficulty of the Great Dao of Time and Space. However, as a Supreme Immortal King, he was simply unable to protect himself in front of Wushi.

……

After the three group battles between the Celestial Kings concluded, many Celestial Kings were deeply moved upon seeing the rankings on the Celestial King Ranking, remaining silent for a long time.

Although before this, the end of the Boundary Sea could connect with the boundless chaotic heavens.

However, it is too far away, and the chaotic rules of the Great Dao permeate the Boundary Sea, separating the Boundary Sea from the boundless chaotic heavens. Even if information could be exchanged, it would not be very detailed.

Although many Immortal Kings, such as Di Xuan, Hong Yuan, Cang Wu, and Hun Yuan, knew that the Wuji Holy Court of the Wuji Immortal Realm had produced four Emperor Light Immortal Kings, more than a dozen Supreme Immortal King giants, and nearly five hundred Immortal Kings under Li Daoming's tutelage, they did not care much.

Because these nearly five hundred Immortal Kings, including two Emperor Light Immortal Kings, seven Supreme Immortal King Giants, and dozens of Immortal King Giants, nearly three hundred Immortal Kings were cultivated by Li Daoming using the dual cultivation method.

They were slightly disdainful of these female cultivators who broke through to the Immortal King realm through dual cultivation.

In their view, relying on dual cultivation and external forces to break through not only makes one the weakest among those at the same level, and one is likely to be defeated by someone of a higher level, but also, due to a shallow foundation, one will overdraw one's potential, limiting future achievements, and making the hope of breaking through to the King level and becoming an Emperor even more remote.

It is precisely for this reason that supreme immortal kings such as Yuan Tuo, Cang Song, and Ling Dao, as well as the Emperor Light Immortal King, dared to refuse orders under the pretext of going into seclusion after being refused their request to take control of the Boundless Holy Court.

Otherwise, how could they dare to refuse the orders of an unparalleled immortal king giant, an emperor or empress at the level of an imperial light immortal king, who are stronger than them and have the Heavenly Emperor backing them?
But today's battle made them realize they were wrong, terribly wrong.

The Heavenly Emperor's empress and concubines were able to cultivate to their current level so quickly by relying on the dual cultivation method and cultivating with the Heavenly Emperor.

This does not mean they are weak, nor does it mean they have a weak foundation or limited potential.

On the contrary, their strength and potential far surpass those of their peers.

This frustrated many Celestial Kings! They worked hard to cultivate, but their efforts were no match for those female cultivators who took shortcuts by the Heavenly Emperor's side.

This made many immortal kings envious. If they were also women, would they be able to break through to higher realms even faster?
……

However, the many immortal kings quickly erased the wild thoughts from their minds.

Although the Heavenly Emperor's empress and concubines cultivate very quickly and are very strong among their peers, clearly possessing profound foundations, they do not want to change their gender. They feel that their current gender is perfectly fine.
