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

Chapter 543 The Fall of the Emperor
"Your Majesty, you're celebrating too soon. Your backup plan seems utterly inadequate to me," Li Daoming sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "boom" resounded, and countless array patterns appeared in various places in the strange world. These array patterns intertwined and evolved into a large array covering the strange world, which, under Li Daoming's control, froze the strange world and the illusory image of the World Cauldron.

Moreover, at this moment, the Chaos Dao Body and the World Dao Body also moved. Their entire bodies transformed from solid to illusory, becoming a virtual world that merged with the Great Universe. With the assistance of the great formation, they rapidly expanded, covering and mastering the entire universe.

Having gained control of the entire strange world, Li Daoming focused all his efforts on suppressing the illusory World Cauldron and handed over the great formation to the Chaos Dao Body and the World Dao Body to manage.

Under their guidance, the grand array that spanned the strange world began to operate, slowly erasing the Dao patterns imprinted by the Emperor. As many Dao patterns were erased, the illusory image of the World Cauldron became slightly unstable and looked increasingly illusory.

Not only in the strange world, but the same thing happened in the human world, but it was transformed into an illusory world that merged with the great universe. The one who controlled the great formation and obliterated the Emperor's Dao patterns was not the Chaos Dao Body or the World Dao Body, but the Yin-Yang Dao Body that he left in the human world as a precaution.

Moreover, since the Emperor has not yet become a mortal immortal and is not in the human realm, his control over the arrangements in the human realm is very weak. The World Cauldron, which is evolving in the human realm, is not under anyone's control. Faced with the great formation controlled by the Yin-Yang Dao Body, it has almost no power to resist. Many Dao patterns are rapidly collapsing, and the illusory image of the World Cauldron is also disappearing at an even faster speed.

"You..." Seeing this scene, the Emperor felt a chill in his heart. He never expected that his trump card, which he relied on to turn the tide, would be broken so easily.

However, a thought quickly crossed his mind, and he immediately provoked, "Wu Shi, Qian Yuan, Gu Lun... did you see that? This is your Heavenly Emperor. He has set up a great formation in two worlds, and he also wants to refine the worlds to achieve his own goal."

“If you do not join forces with me to stop him, once I am defeated and die, you will all be refined by him and become nourishment for him to reach a higher level.”

"Hmph!" Faced with the Emperor's provocation once again, almost everyone remained unmoved.

They simply did not believe that the Heavenly Emperor would refine the world and all people in order to break through to a higher realm.

Firstly, they understood the Heavenly Emperor well; he was not a cold-hearted person, but a compassionate and loving person who cared for the weak and loved all living beings.

Why would someone like that bother to refine the world and all living beings to achieve their own goal?
Secondly, they highly recognized the Heavenly Emperor's talent. For someone like the Heavenly Emperor, breaking through to a higher realm was only a matter of time, and it wouldn't take long. Why would he abandon the fundamentals to refine the world?
Of course, most importantly, the more powerful one is, the more one can experience the terror of the Heavenly Emperor.

Given the Heavenly Emperor's power, if he truly intended to do so, even without this vast array that spans the entire world and possesses boundless power, they combined would not be a match for the Heavenly Emperor alone, nor could they stop him.

Therefore, they all sincerely believed that the Heavenly Emperor would have such a plan.

Seeing the performance of the many powerful figures present, Li Daoming nodded in satisfaction.

Fortunately, none of these people were fools who would turn against him after being provoked by the Emperor; otherwise, he would definitely have killed them.

He then turned to look at the Emperor and mocked, "Emperor, I am not as useless as you. You have lived for over a million years and have not yet become a Mortal Immortal. In less than 20,000 or 30,000 years, I will be able to break through to the peak of Immortal, and in less than 100,000 years, I will be able to break through to Immortal King! I don't need to take shortcuts like you to break through."

“Emperor Wuji, you…” The Emperor’s face turned ashen as Li Daoming pointed his finger at him and cursed him, but he had no means of retaliating.

He can still speak calmly, and Li Daoming has not laid a hand on him.

This is because the Dao patterns he inscribed have not yet been completely erased, and the illusory image of the World Cauldron has not completely dissipated. Li Daoming needs to suppress the illusory image of the World Cauldron and the strange world so that his Chaos Dao Body and World Dao Body can safely operate the great formation to erase the Dao patterns he inscribed. This is to prevent him from directly exploding the illusory image of the World Cauldron and the numerous Dao patterns when he sees that the situation is hopeless.

If that happens, even if the strange world is not destroyed in the end, it will become broken and its vitality will be greatly damaged. The environment of heaven and earth may change drastically, becoming unsuitable for cultivation, and becoming like the human world, where cultivators have short lifespans.

Li Daoming had no time to spare, and neither did he. He needed to do everything in his power to maintain the illusory image of the World Cauldron and resist Li Daoming's suppression.

If he dared to do anything else, the illusory image of the World Cauldron might be completely sealed by Li Daoming before he even finished, at which point Li Daoming would be able to free up his hands and make a move against him.

However, the stalemate between the two was at a great disadvantage to him.

Not to mention Li Daoming's side, there are also powerful figures such as Wushi, Qianyuan, and Gulun who could take action against him at any time or help suppress the illusory World Cauldron.

Even if they don't make a move, as countless Dao patterns are obliterated, it will become increasingly difficult for him to resist Li Daoming's suppression with the illusory image of the World Cauldron. It is estimated that it won't be long before he can't withstand it.

At this time, Li Daoming did not ask Wushi, Qianyuan and others for help, but only asked them to appease the living beings and stabilize the universe.

Even so, less than a quarter of an hour later, the illusory World Cauldron could no longer hold on and was sealed by the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram. The connection between the Emperor and the illusory World Cauldron was also completely severed.

At this point, there was nothing more to say. Li Daoming had the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram continue to suppress the illusory World Cauldron before charging towards the Emperor, launching his most ferocious attack.

Seeing Li Daoming charging towards him, the Emperor became calm, seemingly regaining the invincible Dao heart he had when he was the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

He actively confronted Li Daoming, hoping to elevate himself and transform himself in the great battle, ultimately defeating the formidable enemy against all odds.

However, the Emperor underestimated Li Daoming and overestimated himself.

Li Daoming achieved the status of a Mortal Immortal more than 10,000 years ago. After more than 10,000 years of cultivation, although he has not yet reached the pinnacle of Mortal Immortal, he is not far from it.

And what about the Emperor? Although he could become a Mortal Immortal after another transformation, he has not yet transformed and is still quite a distance away from becoming a Mortal Immortal.

The difference in strength between the two is quite significant. How easy is it for an Emperor to transform himself in a great battle?
As expected, even though the Emperor fought back with all his might, he failed to transform himself in the battle and was killed in less than a quarter of an hour.

Around that moment, a deafening roar, like the celestial sound of the Great Dao, shattered the illusory image of the World Cauldron. The Dao patterns that the Emperor had inscribed between heaven and earth were also almost completely obliterated by the Chaos Dao Body and the World Dao Body.

Having dealt with the Emperor, Li Daoming then connected his mind with his Chaos Dao Body and World Dao Body, instructing them to stop the operation of the great formation, cease merging with the Great Universe, and return to their own bodies.
