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

Chapter 453 Temporarily Delay the Attack
Of course, although he was reluctant, he wouldn't stop them.

He was just a friend to them, not their master or servant. He could offer advice on important matters, but he couldn't be their master.

He naturally understood the importance of this.

After pondering for a moment, Li Daoming suddenly remembered something and reminded him:

"You've already made your decision, so I won't try to dissuade you. But if you're going to enter the strange world in your true forms, you should be prepared to face that strongest half-immortal. His strength is not weak; even my Yin-Yang Dao Body is no match for him."

Moreover, since you are outsiders, the other four immortals might also reject you and gang up on you.

Previously, when their Daoist incarnations entered the strange world, they fought against the strongest half-immortal. He was very hostile and wary of them, as if he regarded the strange world as his private domain.

However, although his Yin-Yang Dao Body was not as powerful or durable as his opponent, he possessed two Heavenly Emperor Hearts, so his opponent could not do anything to him in a short time. If his Yin-Yang Dao Body wanted to leave, his opponent could not stop him at all.

As for the other four half-immortals in the strange world, they also had contact with them after they got rid of the strongest half-immortal.

Their attitude was somewhat ambiguous. They did not support outsiders like Li Daoming, nor did they support the strongest half-immortal. It seemed they wanted to stay out of it, or perhaps they were waiting for a better offer.

Li Daoming guessed that they wanted to create a balance, helping whichever side was weaker.

Before Wu Shi and the other two entered the strange world, their side was naturally at a disadvantage, but after their true forms entered the strange world, that was no longer the case.

Furthermore, given that they are outsiders, the attitude of the other four immortals is very likely to change drastically, and they may unite to deal with them.

He was merely a Dao body in the strange world, so even if he were to be tricked and die, he wouldn't suffer much damage.

But Wushi Di Lisi and Hunming went there in their true forms; if they died, they would truly be dead.

"It's alright. Even if the five of them team up, they definitely won't be able to stop the three of us."

Once our cultivation and strength advance further, even if they join forces, they might not be able to do anything to us.

Moreover, your Yin-Yang Dao Body is still in the Strange World. If you join forces with us, even if all five of them unite, they may not be our match.

"Even if you were to send your Chaos Dao Body and World Dao Body into the strange world, they would certainly be no match for us."

"You want me to send my Chaos Dao Body and World Dao Body into the Strange World as well? To help you deal with those five half-immortals?" Li Daoming asked with some surprise.

This doesn't seem like Wu Shi's personality. Given his nature, he would probably be more inclined to improve his own cultivation and suppress them on his own.

"No, that's not it!" Wu Shi shook his head slightly, then asked in return, "And do you even know how?"

"No!" Li Daoming replied without hesitation.

In fact, he had considered sending his three Dao bodies, as well as the Great Sage, Quasi-Emperor, and Alternative Dao Achiever sealed by the Boundless Holy Court, into the Strange World to conquer it.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up on the plan.

His three Dao bodies working together are definitely no weaker than the five half-immortals of the strange world. They can probably defeat them, but they certainly can't kill them.

Because his three Dao bodies are ultimately just Dao bodies, even if they are given the Heavenly Emperor's Heart, they still won't last long enough.

He might be able to overpower the five half-immortals in a major battle, but he might not be able to kill them before they run out of mana. Also, if they are determined to escape, his three Dao bodies will most likely not be able to stop them.

Moreover, the strange world has more than just five half-immortals; it also has two or three hundred celestial venerables, thousands of supreme beings comparable to quasi-emperors, and countless powerhouses comparable to saints. If he were to send three Dao bodies—a Great Saint, a Quasi-Emperor, and an Alternative Dao Achiever from the Boundless Holy Court—to attack the strange world...

Faced with this terrifying threat, many powerful beings in the strange world will most likely unite to deal with him.

Then, a likely scenario will occur: he will be held back by the five half-immortals from the strange world, and the powerful figures from the Boundless Holy Court will be no match for the powerful figures from the strange world.

He will either be slaughtered by the powerful beings of this strange world, or he will be distracted by stopping even more powerful beings. However, his three Dao bodies are not durable enough and may not be able to hold on.

Of course, if more than twenty Great Emperors of the Boundless Holy Court were sent over, even without adding Emperor Wushi, Lisi, and Hunming, they would definitely be able to defeat two or three hundred Heavenly Venerables from the Strange World.

Because they have all lived through their third life, except for a few who are still at the threshold of the Heavenly Emperor level, the rest have all possessed the combat power of the Heavenly Emperor, or even surpassed the Heavenly Emperor level.

With their strength, taking on ten opponents is a piece of cake; many of them could easily defeat twenty or thirty, or even more, Heavenly Venerables.

However, they are still on the path to immortality in the mortal world and have not yet failed. He did not want them to go to the strange world too early and affect their path to immortality in the mortal world.

Furthermore, taking them along means they can defeat powerful beings from strange worlds, but what happens after that?

If they were to be completely suppressed and killed, the Wuji Holy Court would suffer terrifying casualties in their desperate counterattack. Moreover, given their strength, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be completely suppressed and killed.

There will definitely be a lot of powerful people who will be able to escape, such as the strongest half-immortal in the strange world.

After they escape, they will most likely retaliate against the Boundless Holy Court and assassinate its powerful members.

Li Daoming wouldn't care about the attacks from others, but the strongest half-immortal was different. Faced with his attacks, those in the Boundless Holy Court who hadn't reached the Heavenly Emperor level would definitely not be able to withstand even one move, while those who had reached the Heavenly Emperor level could at most withstand two or three moves.

There is a high probability that there will be casualties in the Wuji Holy Court that he does not want to see.

If we are wary of their strength, a major battle with them, followed by mutual wariness and a standoff to hone our skills, could be a good solution.

However, this would turn the strange world and the Boundless Holy Court into enemies.

Even if his cultivation level increases rapidly and he can suppress them, he will be tainted with too much of their blood and hatred will have arisen, making coexistence not so easy.

If there are no further strange and ominous developments, then so be it; if coexistence is difficult, then simply don't coexist; at worst, just wipe them all out.

However, given the subsequent strange and ominous events, he was less inclined to kill too many people and wanted to preserve more talented and powerful individuals.

In the future, when he and Wushi and others face powerful figures from the strange side, their subordinates will have more strength to resist the strange army, so that they will not collapse at the first touch and need to be distracted to rescue them.

And he has an even better way.

If he waits another 30,000 to 40,000 years, or even 50,000 to 60,000 years, he will be able to live two or three more lifetimes, and his strength will definitely increase greatly.

Even if he was only a Daoist incarnation at that time, he could easily suppress the five half-immortals in the strange world.

Even if two or three hundred Celestial Venerables attacked him together, he could easily suppress them.

By displaying unparalleled strength, and then selecting a few of the most vocal and hostile individuals to make an example of, the many powerful figures in the strange world will naturally submit. The submission of the many powerful figures in the strange world is equivalent to the submission of the entire strange world.
