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

Chapter 826 It’s Not Easy
Although he single-handedly defeated the five strongest Immortal Emperors of the strange dark race, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was not at a disadvantage. On the contrary, the five dark Immortal Emperors were almost powerless to fight back, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated and killed.

The six Immortal Emperors outside of Heaven did not stand idly by either. Five of the stronger Immortal Emperors fought against the strange dark race, leaving only five Immortal Emperors.

Of the five Celestial Emperors of the Upper Heaven, two are at the late stage and three are at the middle stage. In contrast, of the five Celestial Emperors of the Strange Dark Clan, three are at the middle stage and two are at the early stage. Moreover, the combat strength of the Strange Dark Celestial Emperors at the same level is far inferior to that of the Celestial Emperors of the Upper Heaven.

Whether in terms of cultivation or combat power, the five mysterious dark immortal emperors were far inferior to the immortal emperors of the heavens. Naturally, the five mysterious dark immortal emperors were no match for the five immortal emperors of the heavens. They were constantly injured, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated and killed.

As for the remaining early-stage Immortal Emperor in the heavens, he took action against the strange dark race's army of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, True Immortals, and Immortal Kings, preventing them from launching a dark upheaval and reaping the countless lives of the heavens.

With the dignity of an Immortal Emperor, dealing with the eerie Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor and his army, who also had many Quasi-Immortal Emperors under his command and a large army of True Immortals and Immortal Kings to assist him, would naturally be a piece of cake.

If it weren't for the fact that some Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors possessed trump cards left behind by Dark Immortal Emperors, he could have single-handedly swept through the enemy in a short period of time.

Even so, the powerful members of the eerie dark race were constantly being killed, and they could not hold out for long.

The two sides fought fiercely for hundreds of years, nearly a thousand years, and the tide of battle shifted even further.

One of the three avatars created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor defeated his opponents: two Dark Immortal Emperors with cultivation at the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor level. He killed one of the Dark Immortal Emperors, obliterated his origin, and erased his traces along the causal connection.

With one Dark Immortal Emperor killed, the remaining Dark Immortal Emperor, who was at the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, was no match for the incarnation of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, since only one person remained to resist the avatar of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and because he had already suffered considerable injuries, he probably wouldn't last even a hundred years before being killed, his Great Dao origin obliterated, and his traces left in the world erased.

However, in less than a hundred years, or even less than a month, the Dark Immortal Emperor suddenly burned everything within himself and self-destructed. The incredibly terrifying fluctuations of the Great Dao disrupted the past, present, and future, shattered endless spacetime, and created incredibly terrifying ripples of the Great Dao.

Fortunately, they were fighting in a higher dimension, which did not involve the present world. Otherwise, at least several thousand worlds would have been affected, and everything would have turned into nothingness and vanished into nothingness.

Caught off guard by the self-destruction of a Celestial Emperor, even though the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's avatar had a cultivation level close to the peak of the Celestial Emperor realm, he still suffered considerable injuries and was almost severely wounded.

Having annihilated two mid-stage Dark Immortal Emperors, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor freed up one of his avatars to attack the other Dark Immortal Emperors.

But before he could make a move, another Dark Immortal Emperor suddenly appeared.

The Desolate Heaven Emperor was startled when he sensed the sudden appearance of the Dark Immortal Emperor's aura.

Because this Dark Immortal Emperor had already been killed by him, his Great Dao Origin was obliterated, and his traces in the world were erased.

Even if he had made a backup plan and concealed the secrets of heaven so that he could not sense them, and could be resurrected quickly after dying in battle, it shouldn't have been so fast, less than a month ago.

Moreover, even if he were resurrected, he should be extremely weak, but the opponent showed no weakness whatsoever and had already recovered to his peak condition.

What shocked him even more was that the Dark Immortal Emperor, who had just burned the Great Dao, burned his origin, and burned everything in his self-destruction, had been resurrected in a short period of time and was also at his peak.

The great battle erupted once more, with the avatar of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor continuing his duel against two mid-stage Dark Immortal Emperors. An even more intense battle raged across the heavens. Fortunately, the Immortal Emperors transcended the river of time and the constraints of cause and effect. If both sides wished, they could fight on a higher dimension, detached from the mortal realm.

Otherwise, facing a dozen or so Celestial Emperors fighting with all their might, the heavens might shatter further.

For tens of thousands of years, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, the six Celestial Emperors of the Upper Heaven, and the ten mysterious Dark Celestial Emperors fought each other, and neither side fared well.

The ten Immortal Emperors of the strange and dark race have perished at least three times and at most six times.

Although the mysterious Dark Immortal Emperor can use the power of the mysterious plateau to quickly revive after dying in battle, and there is no period of weakness after revival, he is in his prime.

However, this does not mean that they can be resurrected after their deaths without any cost. To be resurrected, they need to consume the primal power of the eerie plateau.

If too much of the primordial power of the eerie plateau is depleted, it will have a significant impact on them.

The mysterious Dark Immortal Emperor's repeated resurrections have depleted much of the Mysterious Plateau's primordial power, and the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the six Immortal Emperors of the Heavenly Realm are also in dire straits.

Although the combined strength of the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the six Celestial Emperors of the Upper Heaven far surpasses that of the ten Celestial Emperors of the Strange Dark Clan, killing the ten Celestial Emperors of the Strange Dark Clan once would not require a heavy price, but it would still require a considerable one.

For example, the incarnation of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor killed a Dark Immortal Emperor and severely injured another Dark Immortal Emperor. The severely injured Dark Immortal Emperor then burned everything and self-destructed, causing the incarnation of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor to suffer serious injuries.

The other Dark Immortal Emperors, due to the existence of the strange plateau, were also fearless of death. When they were severely injured and on the verge of death, they would burn themselves out and self-destruct.

Although the cultivation and strength of the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the six Celestial Emperors of the Upper Heaven all surpassed those of the Dark Celestial Emperor who fought them, the difference was not drastic and they could not completely overwhelm each other.

Faced with the self-destruction of a Celestial Emperor, even if they were all very powerful and prepared, it would be impossible for them to emerge unscathed. They would definitely be injured, and the injuries would certainly not be minor; they might even be severely wounded.

Furthermore, the eerie Dark Immortal Emperor would self-destruct when severely injured and on the verge of death, but it wouldn't be so easy for the Desolate Heaven Emperor, the six Immortal Emperors of the Heavenly Realm, and the Eerie Dark Immortal Emperor to severely injure him during their fierce battle.

The consumption during this period will definitely be considerable, and injuries are inevitable during the fierce battle, although the injuries will not be too serious.

If it were just a matter of fighting the eerie Dark Immortal Emperor once, severely injuring them, and then enduring their self-destruction, then it wouldn't be a big deal.

Even though the consumption would be considerable and the injuries would be severe, the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the six Celestial Emperors of the Upper Heaven were fully capable of withstanding it and would not care at all.

After annihilating ten Immortal Emperors of the eerie dark race, they had ample time to recover from the depletion of the bloody battle and heal their injuries.

It can take anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to fully recover. In fact, with the help of rare and precious medicines, the recovery time could be even shorter.
However, the ten Immortal Emperors of the strange dark race perished at least three times and at most six times, which means that they endured at least three rounds of attrition and three rounds of damage, and even more than six rounds.
