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

Chapter 909 Consequences Dispel Ideas
Faced with the same bizarre and dark race that fights to the death, and that is willing to pay any price, Li Daoming may not be able to escape unscathed. Even if he can, he will have to pay a heavy price.

Moreover, there are several extremely serious consequences!
Firstly, if their side wanted to allow the majority of their strong warriors to retreat safely after their defeat, they would have to leave some strong warriors behind to cover the retreat, and those who stayed behind would almost certainly die.

Even after they die in battle, there is a high probability that, like Liu Shen, they will be subjected to special methods by powerful members of the strange dark race, making it difficult for them to be resurrected.

In this way, even if the strongmen who escaped from their side are all safe and sound, their strength will be greatly reduced. It will definitely take more time for them to recover to their peak and accumulate enough power to destroy the strange dark race.

Secondly, the fact that the remaining strong members of their side had fled and gone into hiding in a secret location that had been prepared beforehand was not entirely foolproof.

When they fled to the secret place that had been prepared in advance, some powerful individuals who were not strong enough might not be able to escape the sight of the powerful members of the strange dark clan, and might be left with special tracking methods during the fierce battle with the powerful members of the strange dark clan.

If that's the case, their hidden location might still be exposed.

Moreover, once they enter the secret realm, they need to work together to activate pre-prepared methods, such as formations, to jointly conceal and sever the secrets of cause and effect and destiny, preventing them from being deduced and discovered by the powerful members of the strange dark race.

However, they had just been defeated in a fierce battle with the powerful members of the strange dark race, with some dying in battle and the remaining powerful members all wounded.

Even with numerous pre-arranged methods, their ability to conceal and sever the secrets of cause and effect, destiny and heavenly secrets will inevitably be greatly diminished.

Furthermore, they had just finished a fierce battle with the powerful members of the eerie dark race, and their injuries must have been severe, inevitably tainted by darkness and misfortune. This might become a guiding light for the powerful members of the eerie dark race to deduce their future.

Therefore, the chances of them being detected and discovered by the powerful members of the mysterious dark race after they escape and go into hiding will greatly increase.

Once discovered by the powerful members of the mysterious dark clan, they will surely be surrounded and killed by them at all costs.

At that time, it will definitely be necessary to leave some strong people behind to cover the rear. Their strength will be weakened again, and the chances of them being detected again after escaping and hiding will increase once more.

If this is the case, and the powerful members of the mysterious dark race discover it from time to time, their side will have no time to focus on development, and the situation will become increasingly critical.

One day, they might even be completely wiped out by the powerful members of the eerie dark race.

In comparison, this risk is considerable!
With this thought in mind, Luo Tianxian's desire grew stronger and stronger.

However, after a moment's thought, Luo Tianxian quickly dismissed the idea.

Admittedly, according to her thinking, when the powerful members of the strange dark race came out in full force, it would be less risky to not take the initiative to fight them, but to retreat temporarily and wait until she had accumulated enough strength before engaging them in a decisive battle.

However, if they were to fight them to the death and win, that would be fine. But if they were to lose, the risks would be enormous. If they were to be careless, there was a good chance that they would be completely wiped out by the strange dark race, and their hopes of destroying the strange dark race would be extinguished.

From a rational perspective, the best course of action would be to retreat temporarily, accumulate sufficient strength, and then engage in a decisive battle with the strange and dark race.

In reality, neither Li Daoming nor the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, nor even she, the Ruthless Empress, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, and other powerful figures of the Boundless Holy Court, would choose to retreat without a fight. Having reached their current level of cultivation, while aptitude, comprehension, and talent are extremely important, this does not mean that other aspects are unimportant.

Conversely, mindset and will are equally important, perhaps even more so than intellect and talent.

Two or three hundred thousand years later, when the strange dark race comes out in full force, they will take the initiative to fight the strange dark race. Although the outcome is uncertain, they are not bound to lose. There is a good chance that they can defeat and destroy the strange dark race.

Furthermore, if they choose to retreat for the time being, they can at most save the beings in the myriad worlds and the Boundless Emperor Realm, as well as a very small number of beings above the heavens.

As for the countless other beings in the heavens and the universe? They could only watch as the strange, dark race slaughtered, harvested, and sacrificed them, turning the heavens and the universe into scorched earth once again.

Although they have different beliefs, pursuits, and bottom lines in their spiritual practice, the vast majority of them tend to uphold order and protect their relatives, friends, and countless sentient beings.

If they were to face the strange, dark race, they would undoubtedly be defeated, with no chance of winning, and there was even a high probability that they would be killed in battle.

After their deaths, the heavens and the universe will have no power to resist the strange and dark race, and no hope to destroy it.

So, in order to preserve their seeds and hope, they chose to retreat and hide when the strange dark race swarmed out, instead of engaging in a decisive battle, to conserve their strength and accumulate power for future confrontation or even annihilation of the strange dark race. That is perfectly acceptable.

As long as their perseverance and fighting spirit are not broken, their Daoist mindset and state of mind will not be affected.

Instead, they will see it as pressure and motivation, working harder to cultivate and improve their strength, all in the hope that one day they can destroy the strange and dark race.

However, they are not necessarily doomed to defeat the strange and dark race; there is a considerable chance that they can win.

Moreover, even if they are defeated, they are not necessarily doomed. The heavens above and the universe are not without the power to resist the strange dark race, nor is there any hope of destroying it.

On the contrary, as long as they can hide well and not be detected by the powerful members of the strange dark race, and focus on developing for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, they will definitely be able to accumulate enough power to destroy the strange dark race.

In this situation, if they don't even dare to fight back, and instead choose to retreat and hide, watching as countless beings in the heavens and the universe are slaughtered, harvested, and sacrificed.

Their Daoist convictions will inevitably be flawed, their mental state will inevitably be problematic, and their perseverance, their fighting spirit, and their will will inevitably be no longer what they once were...

What would be the consequences?
She and Li Daoming's eight Daoist partners were able to cultivate Yin and Yang with him. When they cultivated Yin and Yang with him, they could elevate their mental realm to the half-step Hunyuan level. If they wanted to break through the limit of the Immortal Emperor, they would definitely not encounter any bottlenecks. As long as they had enough time, they could break through naturally.

However, after they break through the limit of the Immortal Emperor, although they can start to break through the barrier and try to break through to the half-step Hunyuan or Sacrifice Dao realm, it is not easy to break through successfully and it is not guaranteed that they will succeed.
