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

Chapter 862 Explains with Full Confidence
Seeing Luo Tianxian's serious expression, Li Daoming knew that if he didn't explain clearly, Luo Tianxian might really fight him to the death.

Before he began practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Luo Tianxian, he knew that his true cultivation level would be discovered afterward. He had anticipated the current situation and no longer intended to hide it from her.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Daoming said frankly, "You have quite a few questions, but since things have come to this, I won't hide anything from you anymore!"

"I haven't broken through to the Sacrifice Dao realm..."

"Impossible! Don't forget, we just finished our Yin-Yang dual cultivation. I know your cultivation level very well. You have clearly surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm." Before Li Daoming could finish speaking, Luo Tianxian interrupted.

Looking at Li Daoming again, he felt a growing distrust, and a vast and powerful force slowly gathered within him, seemingly preparing to break through Li Daoming's Great Dao blockade.

Although Luo Tianxian's actions were subtle, the two had just finished their Yin-Yang dual cultivation and still had a deep connection with each other, so naturally they could not escape Li Daoming's perception.

However, Li Daoming ignored him and continued, "Who said that surpassing the Immortal Emperor realm is the Sacrifice Dao realm? Who stipulated that the Immortal Emperor realm is the Sacrifice Dao realm?"

“I and the Desolate Emperor did not walk the same path. Although we were at the same level, he was at the Sacrifice Dao level, while I was at the half-step Hunyuan level.”

"Half-step Primordial Chaos, so that's how it is! That's it!" Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Luo Tianxian's eyes.

No wonder she felt that Li Daoming's "Sacrifice Dao Realm" was a bit strange after their Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation ended, and it was very different from what the Desolate Heaven Emperor had passed down. She originally thought it was because different people had different levels of understanding, but now it seems that it was not just that; it was a difference between different paths.

Seeing this, Li Daoming continued, "The time it took me to break through to the half-step Hunyuan realm was about the same as the time it took for Huang Tiandi to break through to the Sacrifice Dao realm. Although I didn't tell you and Meng Hai, Huang has been to the myriad worlds and seen my true form, so he already knows."

"Did the Desolate Emperor really know all along?" Luo Tianxian wondered.

“Yes!” Li Daoming affirmed.

"That……"

"Then why don't you join forces with the Desolate Heavenly Emperor to annihilate the strange dark race?" Before Luo Tianxian could finish speaking, Li Daoming knew what she was going to ask. Without waiting for Luo Tianxian's response, Li Daoming continued:
"Because the number of powerful individuals hidden by the mysterious dark race is beyond your expectations, and the hidden trump cards are also beyond your expectations."

"If I had intervened then, it would have been futile and might have only made the situation worse."

"The hidden power of the mysterious dark race is beyond our expectations? And their hidden trump cards are also beyond our expectations? How many ancestors does the mysterious dark race have? How many Immortal Emperors?" Luo Tianxian asked with a frown.

For some reason, hearing Li Daoming's words gave her a bad feeling.

"The bizarre dark race has a total of ten bizarre dark immortal emperors and ten bizarre progenitors."

"Ten bizarre progenitors? Are you sure?" Luo Tianxian was also shocked upon hearing this.

After three eerie progenitors emerged from the eerie dark race and joined forces with ten eerie dark immortal emperors to suppress the Desolate Heaven Emperor, they began to suspect that the eerie dark race might be hiding even more dark immortal emperors and eerie progenitors.

However, they speculated that the mysterious dark race might be hiding at most a few Immortal Emperors and one or two progenitors.

It was precisely because of this that they were overjoyed to see Li Daoming potentially breaking through to the Sacrifice Dao realm, and that his combat power might not be weaker than that of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. They felt that defeating or even annihilating the strange dark race was no longer a pipe dream, but a real possibility. However, they never expected that the strange dark race had not hidden more Immortal Emperors, but instead had hidden a full seven Ancestors, making a total of ten Sacrifice Dao Ancestors.

This poses a greater threat than the bizarre dark race, which hides dozens more Immortal Emperors.

The thought that the strange dark race had ten bizarre progenitors made even the most resolute Luo Tianxian feel a sense of despair and bewilderment.

Even though Li Daoming has already broken through to the half-step Hunyuan realm, equivalent to the Sacrifice Dao realm, and his combat power is no weaker than the Desolate Heaven Emperor, with Li Daoming's help, she is expected to break through the Immortal Emperor limit within hundreds of thousands of years and attempt to reach the Sacrifice Dao realm or the half-step Hunyuan realm.

But she knew perfectly well that her combat power was definitely not as good as that of the Desolate Emperor. After breaking through, she could only deal with two strange ancestors, which was her limit. Even if the Desolate Emperor and Li Daoming were very strong, it would be difficult for them to contend with ten strange ancestors if they joined forces with her.

Moreover, the Ominous Progenitor, relying on the Ominous Plateau, can quickly resurrect after dying in battle.

The progenitors of the uncanny can make countless mistakes and die countless times, but they cannot. If they make even one mistake, it will all be over.

Moreover, if she breaks through, the number of Immortal Emperors will decrease. Not to mention that everyone's injuries have not yet healed and they have not yet returned to their peak condition, even if their injuries and condition have recovered, they will definitely not be a match for the ten strange dark Immortal Emperors.

Even the highest-ranking Immortal Emperors and Priests are no match for the strange and dark race. Is there really any hope left for the heavens and the universe?
“The eerie dark race does indeed have ten eerie progenitors!” Li Daoming affirmed, but then added, “But you don’t need to worry about the future or despair. The ten eerie progenitors are not necessarily invincible!”

As Li Daoming spoke, he exuded a strong sense of confidence that made everyone admire him wholeheartedly.

He dared to say that because he was truly confident.

Before trading various evolution systems and numerous scriptures and secret techniques with Huangtiandi, Luotianxian, Menghai, and others.

He wanted to go a step further, to make the Chaotic World Law Dao Fruit and the Mind Illusion Dao Fruit, which were differentiated from the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, reach the half-step Primordial Chaos level, which he estimated would take two to three hundred thousand years.

Therefore, the time he agreed upon with the Desolate Emperor was 300,000 years, not 200,000 years later, or 400,000 years later.

However, through the transaction, he acquired the evolutionary systems, scriptures, and secret techniques collected by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, Luo Tianxian, Meng Hai, and others. He also discussed the Dao with them for tens of thousands of years, from which he benefited immensely and his cultivation progressed rapidly.

He originally estimated that he should only need 10,000 to 20,000 years to further develop the Chaos World Dao Fruit and the Mind-Body Illusion Dao Fruit, which are differentiated from the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, to the half-step Primordial Chaos level.

However, he had previously practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Luo Tianxian and benefited immensely, roughly equivalent to 40,000 to 50,000 years of arduous cultivation. This naturally allowed him to achieve his goal ahead of schedule once again, and his cultivation strength advanced smoothly once more.

Of course, the reason why he could save 40,000 to 50,000 years of arduous cultivation by practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Luo Tianxian for one or two thousand years was because Luo Tianxian had already cultivated to the late stage of Immortal Emperor, and was still a virgin, and this was her first time practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him.

It's not that just anyone can achieve such results through dual cultivation with him.

If he were to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Luo Tianxian again, it would still be of some benefit to him, but at most it would only accelerate his cultivation progress by a few percent, and it would never have the same effect as before.
