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

Chapter 698 Hesitation
If he is willing to expend most of his energy to sort out and suppress the surging power of the Immortal Emperor within his body, and to protect and restore his physical body and primordial spirit, he can maintain his current realm and not fall out of the Immortal Emperor domain.

Having always stood at the Immortal Emperor level and wielded supreme Immortal Emperor power, coupled with his Dao and Dharma, which have been perfected and sublimated to the Immortal Emperor level, his strength has definitely surpassed the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

Of course, although he has been able to maintain his current level without falling into the Immortal Emperor realm, and his strength has surpassed the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

But this does not mean that he has truly broken through to become an Immortal Emperor.

His cultivation level is not yet stable, and his physical body and primordial spirit have not yet transformed and sublimated to the level of Immortal Emperor.

Only when he has completely mastered the vast and surging power of the Immortal Emperor within him, making it as easy as his own arm, stabilized his realm, and cultivated his physical body and primordial spirit to the level of the Immortal Emperor, can he be considered to have truly broken through to become an Immortal Emperor.

Before this, he needed to spend most of his energy to sort out and suppress the surging power of the Immortal Emperor within his body, and to protect and repair his physical body and primordial spirit, so he could not unleash his full power.

Even if one were to unleash their full power without regard for anything else, although they could far surpass the realm of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, they would still be unable to fully control the vast and surging Immortal Emperor power within their body because their physical body and primordial spirit had not reached the Immortal Emperor level. They would be unable to exert the strength of an Immortal Emperor and could at most only come very close to the Immortal Emperor level.

Moreover, given his reckless outburst, he'll likely self-destruct in less than a minute.

In this state, he cannot be considered to have truly broken through to become an Immortal Emperor.

Perhaps this state, rather than perfecting and sublimating one's own Great Dao to the level of an Immortal Emperor, creating a corresponding invincible technique, possessing the aura of an Immortal Emperor, and being able to briefly stand in the realm of the Immortal Emperor, is more worthy of being called a half-step Immortal Emperor.

Li Daoming gently shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his mind.

There's really no need to argue about which of these two is more suitable to be called a half-step Immortal Emperor.

Because this is just a level of understanding, it's not very important.

Moreover, he had a premonition that he could perfect and elevate his own Great Dao to the level of Immortal Emperor, and use it to create a corresponding invincible technique. It would not be very difficult for him to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and maintain his realm without falling below it.

Of course, not everyone has such an accumulation of experience.

Perhaps having just perfected and sublimated one's own Great Dao to the level of Immortal Emperor, and created a corresponding invincible technique, one cannot immediately maintain a stable realm and stand firm in the Immortal Emperor domain.

However, as long as one cultivates and comprehends the Dao for a period of time, becomes familiar with and controls the vast power of the Immortal Emperor within their body, and further refines their physical body and primordial spirit to be stronger, it will definitely not take long to achieve this, so the difference is not that significant.

However, at this moment, Li Daoming hesitated: should he stabilize his realm and remain firmly in the Immortal Emperor realm?

If he were to fall into the Immortal Emperor realm now, and use the Chaos World Dao Fruit and the Secret Realm Dao Fruit to temper and cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit, he was confident that he could cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit to the Immortal Emperor level within one or two hundred thousand years.

Moreover, by then, he will definitely be able to absorb enough power to accumulate enough primordial power in the chaotic world within his body, enough for the chaotic world within his body to break through and rebuild, opening up and evolving the Great Thousand World, allowing him to break through to the Immortal Emperor level simultaneously with both methods.

However, if one can maintain a stable realm and not fall into the Immortal Emperor realm.

Although he had to avoid a violent conflict between the Chaos World Dao Fruit and the surging Immortal Emperor power within his body, and therefore could not use it to cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit, he still needed to expend most of his energy to use the Dao Fruit of the Secret Realm to regulate and suppress the surging Immortal Emperor power within his body, and to protect and repair his physical body and primordial spirit.

However, he was confident that in at most 40,000 to 50,000 years, he could use the secret realm's Dao Fruit and the vast and surging Immortal Emperor power within his body to cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit to the Immortal Emperor level, and completely master the Immortal Emperor power within his body, so as to truly break through to become an Immortal Emperor using the secret realm's methods.

Of course, he can only break through to the Immortal Emperor level using the Secret Realm Method. During this period, he cannot be distracted by cultivating the Chaos World Method, otherwise it will take more time.

Moreover, he broke through to the Immortal Emperor level using the Secret Realm Technique, and cultivated his physical body and primordial spirit to the Immortal Emperor level using the Secret Realm Technique Dao Fruit. During this period, he did not use the Chaos World Technique Dao Fruit to temper and cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit. After he broke through to the Immortal Emperor level, his physical body and primordial spirit will be filled with traces of the Secret Realm Technique Dao Fruit.

Although his Chaos World Dao Fruit has already transformed and sublimated to the Immortal Emperor level, it will not be suppressed by the Secret Realm Dao Fruit, making it difficult for him to transform and sublimate, or become its vassal.

However, if one continues to cultivate the physical body and primordial spirit using it, the physical body and primordial spirit will be filled with traces of the secret realm's Dharma Fruit, which have become deeply rooted and cannot penetrate into the origin, nor can they contend with it. It may even change from two Dao Fruits running side by side to two Dao Fruits, one being the main one and the other secondary.

After pondering for a moment, Li Daoming made a decision: he would not simply maintain his current cultivation level and rely on the secret realm's Dao Fruit to establish himself in the Immortal Emperor realm.

Although doing so will not necessarily change the dual Dao Fruits from being on equal footing to one being primary and the other secondary.

Although it would only take him 40,000 to 50,000 years to break through to Immortal Emperor using the Secret Realm Dao Fruit, and at most 30,000 to 40,000 years to break through again using the Chaos World Dao Fruit after breaking through to Immortal Emperor, doing so would allow him to break through to Immortal Emperor with two Dao Fruits 100,000 years earlier.

But this matter is of utmost importance, concerning his combat strength at the same level after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, the Sacrifice Dao realm, or even higher realms. He would not do this if there were even the slightest possibility.

Moreover, he has always maintained a stable realm, relying on the secret realm technique to establish himself in the Immortal Emperor realm. If his realm is unstable, he will not be able to fully control the vast Immortal Emperor power within his body.

Before he truly broke through to become an Immortal Emperor, he dared not engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with his many Daoist partners and concubines, otherwise he might accidentally injure them.

Given the terrifying power of an Immortal Emperor, even the slightest bit of it would be something that no one below the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level could withstand.

Even the ruthless empress couldn't withstand it; although she had already broken through the King Realm and advanced to the half-step Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

However, his realm is still unstable. If he is injured by the power of an Immortal Emperor, even if he can survive, he will be severely injured and will not have much energy left to suppress the conflict between the sixth secret realm and the five great secret realms, as well as the physical body and primordial spirit. He will definitely fall into the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Once she falls below the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, she will be even less able to deal with the Immortal Emperor power that injured her. If no one intervenes to eliminate the Immortal Emperor power that injured her, she will probably perish.

In other words, during this period, he could no longer engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with any of his Daoist partners or concubines, nor could he help them cultivate and rapidly improve their cultivation levels.

In addition, he had other ideas. He believed that it would not take 100,000 to 200,000 years, but at most 100,000 years, to refine his physical body and primordial spirit to the level of an Immortal Emperor, and break through to become an Immortal Emperor with both Dao Fruits at the same time.

what idea?
It wouldn't be difficult for him to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm using either the Secret Realm Technique or the Chaos World Technique, and to fall back into the Immortal Emperor realm on his own initiative; he could do it almost in a single thought.

Although he dared not use both the Secret Realm Technique and the Chaos World Technique to break through the barrier at the same time, he could not establish himself in the Immortal Emperor realm with both techniques simultaneously.
