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

Chapter 792 Great improvement in cultivation
With enough confidence and strength to protect himself, and with enough certainty that he could break through to the level of sacrificial rites and destroy the strange dark race in the future, he naturally no longer felt the urgency he had before.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Daoming, being habitually cautious, instinctively kept his trump cards hidden and did not intend to reveal his true strength and trump cards to the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua.

I also wanted to put some pressure on them, to encourage them to work harder in their spiritual practice and to be more lenient with him...

But I don't want to put too much pressure on them, and I don't plan to hide too much from them.

After a moment's thought, Li Daoming's expression relaxed, and he made a plan.

He told them the whole truth about the strange, dark race.

As for his true strength and trump cards, although he didn't reveal everything to them, he did let them know that his strength was not as simple as they saw. He still had trump cards up his sleeve, and even if all the powerful members of the strange dark race came out, he was confident that he could save his own life.

Knowing the true nature of the strange, dark clan and that Li Daoming possessed the ability to protect himself, the ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua, whose brows had been furrowed, all relaxed slightly. They breathed a sigh of relief, feeling immensely fortunate.
Fortunately, the strength of the strange dark race was not as exaggerated as they had imagined.

Although the power of the eerie dark race is still very strong, it still far surpasses theirs.

But as long as Li Daoming can break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm, the strange dark race will no longer be able to threaten his life. As long as he doesn't perish, given enough time, he will definitely be able to break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm and will definitely be able to end the strange dark race.

However, at this moment, the eight women—the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua—made up their minds to work harder in their cultivation and improve their strength as soon as possible.

The ruthless empress's goal is to break through to the late stage of Immortal Emperor, or even the peak of Immortal Emperor, before the strange darkness descends, and to break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm before the strange darkness detects their true strength.

She knew very well that only by breaking through to the Sacrifice Dao realm could she relieve some of the pressure on Li Daoming.

Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian's goal is to break through to the mid-stage, late-stage, or even peak of the Immortal Emperor realm as soon as possible.

Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua's goal is to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm as soon as possible, or even reach the mid-stage or late-stage Immortal Emperor realm.

They all knew that, given their talent and comprehension, it would be difficult for them to break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm before Li Daoming did.

In this way, they would be unable to intervene in the highest-level battles.

Even if they can't intervene in the most crucial battles, they must be able to maintain the mid-to-high-level battles so that Li Daoming doesn't have to be distracted.

In other words, the strange dark race has a large number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, as well as ten Immortal Emperors, who are all their opponents.

Although they didn't know the level of the ten Immortal Emperors from the strange dark race, they were certain that not all of them were just entering the Immortal Emperor realm. Some of them must have taken several steps into the Immortal Emperor realm, reaching the mid-stage, late-stage, or even peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. If that were the case, even if they had the numerical advantage, let alone being outnumbered, to stop ten Immortal Emperors and a large number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, they would all have to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and take several steps into the Immortal Emperor realm; otherwise, it would be impossible.

With thoughts forming in their minds and mutual affection blossoming, a continuous symphony soon resounded within the palace. Infinite Yin-Yang primordial energy emanated from the palace, and boundless Daoist charm and spiritual energy surged and flowed everywhere, with the manifestation and intertwining of the Great Dao of the Heavens...

As time passed quickly, the cultivation levels of Li Daoming, the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua all increased rapidly.

More than 1,300 years later, Li Daoming's cultivation of the Chaos World Law and the Secret Realm Law both broke through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor.

Before the breakthrough, he retrieved the six Dao bodies that were presiding over the operation of the Supreme Immortal Emperor's formation, and after the breakthrough, he created six more Dao bodies.

With six peak Immortal Emperor Dao bodies presiding over the operation of the Supreme Immortal Emperor Formation, the power of the Supreme Immortal Emperor Formation surged once again, and the speed at which the Supreme Immortal Emperor Formation transformed and condensed the world's origin accelerated once more.

More than six thousand years later, the Ruthless Empress and Li Daoming practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation for nearly a thousand years, and then spent another five or six thousand years digesting the gains from Yin-Yang dual cultivation, breaking through to the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor.

The reason she was able to break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm was partly due to the nearly thousand years of Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming, from which she benefited greatly, but more importantly, it was because she had accumulated enough knowledge and was already close to breaking through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Previously, she had perfected her Great Dao to the level of Immortal Emperor and created her own invincible technique, breaking through to establish herself in the Immortal Emperor realm. However, her physical body and primordial spirit cultivation had not yet reached the level of Immortal Emperor, so she was not a true Immortal Emperor, but only a half-step Immortal Emperor.

Even though she was only a half-step Immortal Emperor, she could still cultivate and comprehend the Dao normally within the area of ​​time flow that was created by the Supreme Immortal Emperor's formation, which was a hundred times faster than normal.

She cultivated and comprehended the Dao in the region where time flowed a hundredfold for one to two hundred thousand years before she cultivated both her physical body and primordial spirit to the level of an Immortal Emperor, truly breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Moreover, during this period, she cultivated and comprehended the Dao together with Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian, helping them to expand and perfect their Dao to the level of Immortal Emperor, and helping them to create their own invincible techniques.

After perfecting her Great Dao to the Immortal Emperor level, she cultivated and comprehended the Dao for one or two hundred thousand years. She also gained insights into the Great Dao of the Immortal Emperor realms of Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian. Although she did not break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, she was not far from doing so.

It is foreseeable that as long as she thoroughly digests the Dao insights gained from the Immortal Emperor realms of Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian, she will definitely be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

She cultivated Yin and Yang with Li Daoming for nearly a thousand years, benefiting immensely. She then spent another five or six thousand years digesting the Dao insights of Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian. Although she had not yet fully digested all the Dao insights, the gains from Yin and Yang cultivation allowed her to successfully break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Subsequently, over the course of two to three thousand years, Xia Qinghuang, Xin Hua, Jiang Qianxi, and Kong Lin successively broke through to the Immortal Emperor level!
Before they broke through to the Immortal Emperor level, the four of them could only maintain dual cultivation with Li Daoming for a much shorter time than the four Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian.

Moreover, during their Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming, they also absorbed some of the world's origin with his help, raising their cultivation level to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. This made it even shorter for them to maintain their Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming.
