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

Chapter 716 Looking Through
Having absorbed the nascent form of a vast world into his own chaotic world, Li Daoming did not stop.

He radiated an incomparably terrifying and dazzling imperial radiance, filled with incredibly powerful Dao fluctuations, and unleashed punch after punch.

This scene is terrifying!

Although at this moment, he did not unleash the Wuji Taiyi, merging all his Great Daos and all his power into one, undergoing the ultimate transformation and sublimation to condense an incomparably terrifying primordial power, he merely went all out to bring his true strength to its peak. Its power was far less than when he unleashed the Wuji Taiyi before, merging all into one.

However, when he went all out, his strength far surpassed that of a typical late-stage Immortal Emperor, approaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, making him incredibly terrifying.

Even though his main purpose was to open up the boundary sea, reshape the universe, and evolve the prototype of the Great Thousand World, it still shook the past, present, and future, and had an extremely profound impact.

A thunderous sound resounded continuously, echoing throughout the heavens and the future. The boundless sea of ​​boundaries was blasted open, and fist imprints stretched for trillions of miles, tearing apart the heavens of eternity and covering the long river of time, causing all things to perish.

However, just as yin arises from yang and life arises from death, the extremely concentrated destructive negative power nurtured endless creative vitality and primordial power, giving rise to various universes and the nascent forms of countless worlds.

However, these prototypes of the Great Thousand Worlds are much smaller than the prototypes of the Great Thousand Worlds he created before, and they are all in the very early stages of evolving into Great Thousand Worlds.

If it is to truly evolve into a vast world, it will require him to continuously create new worlds, perfect the Great Dao of the World, and stabilize the world...

Of course, he did not want to actually create and evolve the Great Thousand World, nor did he care about the size or strength of the prototype of the Great Thousand World.

The goal is simply to allow his internal chaotic world to absorb and digest it, enabling it to advance faster. It is enough to treat it as material, refining and nurturing it to a level sufficient to support his Great Dao.

Naturally, they wouldn't spend more time and energy continuing to explore the world, perfect the great path of the world, and stabilize the world...

As time passed, the rudiments of countless worlds began to emerge, while the boundless sea of ​​boundaries rapidly shrank.

Soon, when the prototype of a thousand great worlds appeared in the boundless sea, only about half of the boundless sea remained.

Moreover, this is only the initial form of the vast world he is currently creating, and its size and quality are much weaker and smaller than the world he created the first time.

Otherwise, if the initial forms of a thousand great worlds were created, and each one was the same size as the first one, then even if the boundless sea of ​​worlds didn't completely disappear, it would probably be close to it.

Li Daoming unleashed his full power, creating a thousand-square-meter prototype of a Great Thousand World in the Boundless Sea. It was terrifying; even the River of Time trembled and collapsed, disappearing completely from this place.

Only when Li Daoming stopped intervening and ceased creating the nascent form of the Great Thousand World, and used his Great Dao to suppress the boundless sea of ​​boundaries and the nascent forms of the Great Thousand World, did the space-time of heaven and earth slowly return to normal.

At this moment, the river of time reappears, connecting the past, present, and future of this place. Li Daoming's gaze is profound as he looks at the river of time, seeing through the past and present.

Scenes from the past kept resurfacing: his evolution of the Yin-Yang Chaos in the Boundary Sea, setting up the Two Elements Micro Dust Array to devour and melt the Boundary Sea; his battle with Emperor Xuan Hongyuan and other Boundary Sea Immortal Kings; his stepping into the Boundary Sea, reaching its end, and joining the Immortal Alliance; and the many Immortal Kings of the Boundary Sea Immortal Alliance crossing the Boundary Sea.

It even continues to look towards more distant and ancient times. It sees the Chaotic Ancient Era, a place near the ultimate ancient land at the center of the Boundary Sea, filled with dark power. Countless Immortal Kings, in pursuit of breaking through the King realm to become Emperors, set foot in the Boundary Sea. Some obtained the scriptures and treasures left behind by other Immortal Kings, while others encountered dangers, perished in the Boundary Sea, or were corrupted by darkness, falling into the form of Dark Immortal Kings…

Li Daoming exhausted his gaze, looking through the river of time, taking in the past scenes, but he could not see the figures of the quasi-immortal emperors such as the Azure Emperor, the Hong Emperor, the Feather Emperor, and the Old Man of Annihilation, nor could he see the figures of the Corpse Immortal Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

It seems that some forbidden force has erased their traces in the long river of time.

No, that's not right either. Li Daoming's gaze became even deeper, containing an incomparably profound and mysterious light of the Great Dao, looking towards an even more ancient era.

He saw the figures of four Quasi-Immortal Emperors: Cang Emperor, Yu Emperor, Hong Emperor, and the World Destroyer. However, what he saw was not them after they broke through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but them before they broke through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Li Daoming was not surprised by this.

Those who cultivate to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor have transcended the river of time and are shrouded in a mist that can conceal the secrets of heaven. Their figures and experiences will not manifest in the river of time.

Even if he were an Immortal Emperor, and not just any ordinary Immortal Emperor, it would be impossible for him to find their figures in the long river of time where no Quasi-Immortal Emperors existed.

If he wants to find the Quasi-Immortal Emperors who existed in the past, he can only go against the flow of time and travel to the past to search for them. Only then will he have a chance to find their figures or traces.

However, although a Quasi-Immortal Emperor has transcended the river of time, this proof cannot be permanent. Once the present body breaks through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the past body will not also stand in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
Even for those who break through to the Immortal Emperor level, let alone Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it is impossible.

However, once one breaks through to the Immortal Emperor level, one transcends time, cause and effect, and destiny, becoming unrestrained by anything in the world. One's own strength is unique and supreme. Even if someone can go back to the past and kill one's past self, one will not perish or disappear.

However, the true self of the Immortal Emperor is eternal and indestructible. Even if he dies and his Dao dissipates, as long as his name or even a trace of him remains in the world, he can be reflected back.

If one's past self is severed, the traces of the past are altered and erased, and its existence and traces become weaker, making it more difficult and time-consuming to reflect back.

This explains why, in the original story, even though severing the Desolate Emperor's past self would not affect his combat power or cause his demise, the mysterious dark side still sent several Quasi-Immortal Emperors to try to go back in time and kill the Desolate Emperor's past self.

They didn't want to sever the Desolate Emperor's past self and implicate his present self; rather, they wanted to alter and erase his past traces so that after he was killed, he couldn't reflect his resurrection and return.

It is precisely because Quasi-Immortal Emperors cannot attain eternal status once they have achieved it that they did not transcend the river of time before breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor status. Their figures and experiences will be presented in the river of time, which is why Li Daoming was able to see their past figures and experiences through the river of time.

Of course, their past figures and experiences, though revealed over time, are not something that just anyone can see.

Quasi-Immortal Emperors transcend the river of time, carrying with them a layer of mist that can conceal and shield the secrets of heaven. The secrets they can conceal and shield are not only the secrets of heaven after they break through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but also the secrets of heaven before they break through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
