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

Chapter 371 Refining the Emperor's Heart Illusion
After instructing the four women on their cultivation, Li Daoming silently left the palace, activated the array barrier for them, and instructed them to cultivate in seclusion. He then went to the seclusion room to begin refining the Emperor's Heart.

Refining the Emperor's Heart is not difficult, because to some extent, the Emperor's Heart is alive. When refining it, there is no need to temper it to make it more solid. You only need to preserve its activity and add the ability to absorb chaotic power and transform it into Emperor's Blood.

With a thought, Li Daoming removed his own heart, and the missing heart was restored.

But he did not stop what he was doing. He continued to refine his own essence and integrate it into the Emperor's heart, thus refining and strengthening the Emperor's heart.

As the essence of his being was extracted and integrated into the Emperor's heart, Li Daoming's face grew paler and paler, and his once powerful and refined aura became somewhat unstable.

However, Li Daoming did not pay attention and continued to refine the essence within his body to forge the Emperor's Heart.

Gradually, the aura and pressure of the Emperor's Heart grew stronger and stronger. In less than two months, the Emperor's Heart floated in the void, radiating boundless imperial light, as if a peak emperor had been reborn.

After completing the refinement of an Emperor's Heart, Li Daoming did not hesitate at all. He swallowed a Supreme Divine Pill and began to refine the essence and laws of order of the Supreme Divine Pill to restore and replenish his own losses.

Soon, in less than half a year, Li Daoming recovered his losses and returned to his prime.

"It seems that one Supreme Divine Pill is not enough!" Li Daoming sighed inwardly.

He recovered his losses by consuming a Supreme Divine Pill and the quasi-emperor blood he had previously retained.

After a moment of silence, Li Daoming continued to extract hearts and refine the Emperor's Heart.

While one emperor's heart is enough for now, it certainly won't be enough in the future.

Moreover, he still has four Supreme Divine Pills to replenish his own losses. Rather than having to extract hearts to refine them later when he runs out, it's better to refine them all at once, so that he won't have to extract hearts to refine them again in the future.

Moreover, the Emperor's Heart is far more useful than the Supreme Divine Pill.

Not only can it absorb chaotic energy and transform it into imperial blood, but because it shares the same origin as him, it is also easier for him to absorb and refine it. Moreover, it possesses the heart of a Great Emperor, and its origin is comparable to that of a living Great Emperor.

Although he lacks consciousness and the combat power of an emperor, if he were to be equipped with an ultimate imperial weapon, especially one he crafted, things would be different.

His combat power is definitely no weaker than that of an ordinary Great Emperor. Although he is certainly no match for a powerful Great Emperor like Void Hengyu, suppressing a Supreme Being is a piece of cake.

With this thought in mind, Li Daoming took out two more hearts and refined all three Emperor Hearts together.

According to his estimation, four Supreme Divine Pills should only be enough to make up for the losses he incurred in refining three Great Emperor Hearts.

While refining his own essence to forge the Emperor's Heart, Li Daoming also refined the Supreme Divine Pill to replenish his own losses.

Soon, another six months passed before Li Daoming finally refined all three Emperor Hearts.

The four Great Emperor Hearts hung in the void, surrounded by chaos and radiant with imperial light, boundless and limitless. They simply hung there quietly, and all the myriad paths of heaven and earth manifested to protect them, as if four Great Emperors were in the world.

The supreme array here is glowing, and endless supreme array patterns are manifesting, suppressing the aura of the four Emperor Hearts.

Otherwise, the energy here, once it bursts forth, will surely shake the heavens and the earth, and the entire universe.

At this moment, looking at the four Emperor Hearts he had refined, Li Daoming nodded in satisfaction.

Each of the four emperor hearts is comparable to an ordinary ancient emperor.

Now that he is alive, these four Emperor Hearts will be in the chaos within the realm, working with many powerful figures of the Boundless Holy Court and the ultimate array to absorb chaotic energy and transform it into Emperor Blood, which will be used to cultivate the cultivators of the Boundless Holy Court.

After he retires from the world, these four Great Emperor Hearts will become the greatest foundation of the Boundless Holy Court. Once the four Great Emperor Hearts are refined, Li Daoming will emerge from seclusion.

He arrived at the Central Heavenly Palace, retrieved his avatar back into his body, and then created numerous other avatars, carrying countless treasures, to head towards the edge of the universe.

Immediately afterwards, he sent out a message, summoning all the cultivators of the Boundless Holy Court to return.

In no time at all, the soldiers and generals of the Boundless Holy Court had gathered outside the Central Heavenly Palace, their speed astonishing.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The powerful figures entered the main hall and all bowed respectfully to Li Daoming, their expressions solemn.

"No need for formalities." Li Daoming sat upright on the imperial throne, without any extraordinary phenomena manifesting, yet he seemed to suppress the vast heavens and earth and freeze time and space for eternity.

He simply raised his hand, and everyone involuntarily stood up.

"Today is not a day for preaching, and I'm sure you all have some questions about why I've summoned you here," Li Daoming's voice was calm and authoritative, echoing throughout the hall.

He looked at the many powerful figures below and continued, "As the Wuji Holy Court has developed to this point, its drawbacks have become increasingly apparent, as you are all well aware of. The reason I have summoned you here today is to resolve these issues."

"Leaving aside other matters for now, I have set up an array; you may enter it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, although the crowd was somewhat puzzled, they did not resist at all and entered the great formation set up by Li Daoming in batches and in an orderly manner.

Seeing everyone enter the great formation, Li Daoming raised his hand slightly, and the great formation started to operate. A mysterious wave appeared and swept across all directions. Everyone who was swept by this mysterious wave fell into a deep sleep, and a hundred of them even entered an illusion.

This formation was set up by his avatar when he was in seclusion refining the Emperor's Heart.

Its sole purpose is to trap the consciousness of those within the formation in an illusion he has created.

The illusions they each fall into are different, but they are all similar.

However, the formation's strength is limited, and it cannot simultaneously allow three quasi-emperors, over a hundred great saints, and over a thousand saints and saint kings to enter the illusion. It can only be done one hundred at a time.

In the Fantasy

"How did I end up here? Oh right, the Emperor summoned us here and established clear systems, as well as the need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to solve the many problems facing the Holy Court."

"Many of the benefits will be gone in the future, but we should be content to be able to listen to the Emperor preach often!" one soldier thought.

Immediately following Li Daoming's instructions, both the main body and the avatar left the Boundless Holy Court and headed to a desolate star field in the universe to create a small world, set up formations to gather the essence of heaven and earth, nurture rare treasures, and cultivate precious herbs...

Time flies, and nearly a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the Wuji Holy Court no longer provides resources for free, and although we need to frequently go out to develop resource-rich areas and search for unclaimed secret treasure troves...

However, he could listen to the Great Emperor preach and receive guidance from him every now and then, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has already broken through to the Great Sage realm.

But on this day, the world suddenly changed!

A powerful being in the universe who could challenge the Great Emperor failed to prove his Dao against all odds and turned to the dark side. After recovering from his injuries, he joined forces with the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone to fight against the Limitless Holy Court.
