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

Chapter 838 The Desolate Emperor Returns

Moreover, he inexplicably felt that their birthplace should be his hometown: the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and that they would have a great causal connection with him in the future.

Therefore, in order to follow the trajectory of fate and to ensure that they could grow up smoothly and become his comrades-in-arms, he devised many methods throughout the myriad worlds and even the nine heavens and ten earths.

Although he had never communicated with them, could not deduce their true names or future trajectories across the river of time, and did not often pay attention to the myriad worlds or whether they had been born... he knew nothing about them.

But at this moment, relying on some mysterious cause and effect, he inexplicably felt that their real name was definitely not Li Daoming, and their Daoist title was definitely not Wuji.

Moreover, when he was in the myriad worlds, he deduced the future timeline and found no trace of a powerful figure named Li Daoming, whose Daoist name was Wuji.

Given his level of cultivation and his karmic connections with future generations, he couldn't deduce a single trace; there were only two possibilities:

First, Li Daoming is a non-existent person. If that were the case, it would be impossible for him to deduce any trace of him.

Secondly, from birth, Li Daoming has had powerful figures or treasures of the Immortal Emperor level or above to shield him from the secrets of heaven. If so, even an Immortal Emperor would not be able to deduce any information about his past or future.

When he was predicting the future, he had just broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, so it was normal that he couldn't predict any trace of the future.

If it's the second possibility, then so be it. However, who is behind Li Daoming? What secrets does he have? They come from the same world as him and have also cultivated the secret realm method he created. They are most likely his fellow practitioners and could become his comrades-in-arms.

But if it's the first possibility, then it's troublesome. If this person doesn't exist in the myriad worlds, then the person outside Luo City is most likely an enemy, not a friend.

An enemy at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level is a truly enormous threat.

The six Immortal Emperors, including Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai, were either injured or crippled. Even with numerous imperial cities equipped with semi-imperial weapons and several Immortal Emperor formations, they were no match for a peak Immortal Emperor. At most, they could only hold out for a little longer before being defeated.

Once they are defeated, killed, or escape, the powerful members of the eerie dark race will be able to reap the rewards of the heavens without restraint, unleashing a dark upheaval that will be another catastrophe for the countless beings in the heavens.

Moreover, in the past, the strange and dark race did not take Luo Tianxian, Meng Hai and others seriously, but used them as whetstones to cultivate more powerful people, so that they could reap greater rewards after being harvested and sacrificed.

Even after surrounding and killing the Immortal Emperor who was covering their retreat, they did not use any means to suppress them and prevent them from reviving.

But now, his breakthrough to the Sacrifice Dao realm seems to have aroused the fear of the strange dark race, and seems to have broken the balance.

Once surrounded and attacked, the eerie dark race might use methods to suppress the fallen Immortal Emperors, preventing them from being resurrected.

Take Liu Shen for example. Before covering the retreat, she left behind a way to revive herself. However, after she burned herself out and self-destructed, taking a Dark Immortal Emperor down with her, the Strange Ancestor used his methods.

Following the mysterious causal connections, across endless time and space, a portion of Liu Shen's backup plan was destroyed, and her remaining, unerased Dao and traces were gathered and suppressed on the eerie plateau.

Unless the eerie plateau is destroyed, even if the Immortal Emperor possesses immortality and the Willow God still has some backup plans, it will be difficult for him to be resurrected and return.

That is why, for the past seven or eight thousand years, no matter how hard Luo Tianxian, Meng Hai and others have tried, Liu Shen has been unable to be resurrected, and there has not even been a trace of resurrection.

If Luo Tianxian and the others also die in battle, they may very well follow in Liu Shen's footsteps and, like Liu Shen, be unable to be resurrected and return due to the methods of the strange ancestor.

If that's the case, once he's defeated, or even killed, the high-end combat power of the Heavenly Realm will likely be wiped out by the strange dark race, plunging the Heavenly Realm into an even more difficult situation. Defeating or even annihilating the strange dark race will become even more challenging. At this moment, Luo Tianxian, Meng Hai, and the others, seeing the expression displayed by the Desolate Emperor, couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

Prior to this, although they had agreed to Meng Hai's plan, they did not think Li Daoming would cause any problems; they were just being cautious.

But now, seeing the demeanor displayed by the Desolate Emperor, they couldn't help but wonder if they had been too happy too soon.

That Li Daoming is likely problematic; he may not be their ally, but rather their enemy.

If that's the case, then it's really a big problem. Not only will their hard-won glimmer of hope be dashed, but they will also face danger, and countless living beings in the heavens will be harvested and sacrificed once again.

With this thought in mind, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy and somber.

“Huang! Could there be something wrong with him? Is he not from the same world as you? Are all the things he said deceiving us?” Meng Hai asked with a heavy heart.

"This is impossible! He shouldn't have any problems. He revealed his karmic connection with you and even manifested the Dao of the Secret Realm. I can't be wrong. He is the Dao Ancestor of the Secret Realm, and he broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm using the Secret Realm Dao. How could he possibly have any problems?" Luo Tianxian's emotions fluctuated, and she was unwilling to believe it.

She was very confident in herself, confident that what she saw was correct. She was very unwilling to believe that if Li Daoming had a problem, it would mean that the hope of defeating or even destroying the strange dark race would be lost. How could she be willing to believe that?

……

Meng Hai, Luo Tianxian, and the other four people, with their words and actions, brought the Desolate Emperor back to his senses from his deep thoughts.

After a moment of contemplation, the Desolate Emperor said calmly and cautiously, "Whether he has a problem or not, I don't know, and I dare not be sure."

"After I broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm, I tried to predict the future. Through this prediction, I learned that a powerful figure would be born in my hometown and would storm into the heavens to support us. But it was not him. I did not predict his existence at all."

"However, this does not necessarily mean that he has a problem. If what Ruolu said is true, he is most likely to be fine."

"I'm going to disguise myself and go back to check on him and make sure he's alright."

After speaking, the Desolate Emperor did not wait for anyone's reaction before he began to sense the sword light he had left in the myriad worlds that had cleaved through countless ages, and through the mysterious connection, he sent a wisp of his mind to it.

All the heavens and the ultimate ancient land

"Huh?" The Desolate Emperor was stunned, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.

Just now, a wisp of his consciousness, following an unseen connection, traversed endless time and space to descend and fall into the sword light of the ultimate ancient land.

Upon returning to the myriad worlds, he immediately looked towards them, especially towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where he was born.

In an instant, he saw through time and space, and countless fragments of past and present time appeared before his eyes. He instantly gained a massive amount of information and also gained a certain understanding of the present world.
