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

Chapter 286: Shenzhou Plan Failure
“Daoming, now that you’ve returned from crossing the ancient starry sky road, do you want to hold a big celebration?” asked the ancestor of the Li family.

Although Li Daoming's real body is still deep in the starry sky, the return of his incarnation is no different from the return of his real body.

Moreover, Li Daoming also planned to connect the Wuji Star Field and the Beidou Star Field. After the connection, he could travel back and forth at any time, which would be no different from returning in real body.

"We can have a big one!" Li Daoming replied after pondering for a moment.

He did not dare to guarantee that his incarnation could modify and destroy the protective formation of the imperial capital of the Shenzhou Dynasty. Perhaps it could be used by other extreme forces. It was just the right opportunity for him to use this opportunity to show his strength and power, which would make it easier to negotiate if he wanted to borrow the imperial soldiers later.

"Okay! I'll ask someone to prepare it right away!" said the head of the Li family with a smile.

He believed that Li Daoming's return would definitely greatly enhance the reputation of the Li family.

Li Daoming was busy with many things. He sent an incarnation to chat with his parents and clansmen, while the Yin-Yang God himself secretly went to the imperial capital of the Shenzhou Dynasty.

Suddenly, the Li family returned to their previous harmonious and harmonious state.

Deep in the Capital of the Shenzhou Dynasty
"Ahem! You have also received the news from outside, what do you think?"

The one who spoke was the most senior and powerful Great Sage in the Shenzhou Dynasty, and also the protector of Shenzhouzi before him.

At the moment, he was not in a good condition. His breath was fluctuating, his face was very pale, and he looked a little shaky, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

"Ancestor, you should go back and recuperate. We are here outside!" Seeing the old man's appearance, Shenzhouzi's face was full of concern.

His concern was not false. The old man broke the seal shortly after he was born. He was raised by the old man since he was a child, and the old man has been protecting him all the way to the present.

His feelings for the old man were much deeper than those for his parents and wife.

"Yes! You should go back and recuperate in seclusion!" The other two great saints of the Shenzhou Dynasty also advised.

They were really afraid that the old man would pass away like this. The Shenzhou Dynasty was in a critical moment right now and could not afford such bad news.

"No! I'm hopeless!" The old man shook his head slightly.

He was beyond saving, not because he was seriously injured in the previous battle, but because his death was approaching.

Before he sealed himself, he didn't have much time left to live. Although he took some elixirs to prolong his life after he was unsealed, and obtained some rare treasures when he was on the Ancient Starry Road, which extended his life, he still didn't have many years left.

Even if there had not been this battle, he would not have much time left, less than thirty years. After experiencing this battle, not only did he suffer excessive losses, he was also seriously injured, and his remaining life was even shorter.

He didn't want to die of old age in seclusion and recuperation! Moreover, the Shenzhou Dynasty was in crisis, so how could he have the mood to retreat and recuperate?

"No, there are still precious medicines in the treasure house. After you take them..."

Before Shenzhouzi could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man: "No need, I know my own condition well."

"The most important thing now is Li Daoming from the Li family. Has he really crossed the Ancient Starry Sky Road and returned? Is the news from outside confirmed?"

Upon hearing this, Shenzhouzi and the three great saints all turned their eyes to the Emperor of Shenzhou.

After all, he was in control of the Shenzhou Dynasty, and he also had access to the outside information channels. "Ancestor, this shouldn't be false. The Li family will hold a big banquet in a month to celebrate his return. If this is false, the Li family will be in trouble."

"But he returned less than thirty years after setting foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Road. There must be something fishy going on. Maybe he didn't return after breaking through the ancient road, but escaped after being defeated."

"Yes! How could he pass the strongest trial road in less than thirty years? If he was defeated and escaped back, that would be great. The Great Xia Dynasty and the Guhua Dynasty might no longer support the Li family, and the crisis of our Shenzhou Dynasty might be resolved." A great sage of the Shenzhou Dynasty said in agreement.

He had been on this ancient road before, so he naturally knew some of the conditions of this ancient road.

It is not easy to pass this ancient road. One needs to have the strength of a great sage to leave his name on the final Heavenly Gate Crystal Monument. How many years has Li Daoming been practicing now? How could he have the strength of a great sage?
At this time, Shenzhouzi and the old man were silent. They had also heard of Li Daoming in the Ancient Starry Road.

Although because the ancient road is long, they did not get much information and it was not accurate, and many of the information may be rumors.

For example: When he first entered the Ancient Road, he was recognized by the Source of Tao in the bloody battlefield. It was rumored that he could rival the peak Saint King at the tenth level. Later, he was even more incredible. At the thirty-seventh level, he used some unknown means to destroy the Ancient Lord and a great saint protector of Tao.

Even if there is some water in this, it is undeniable that Li Daoming is powerful and extraordinary.

Although they later tried to find a way back, they received less news.

But they didn't think that such a person would escape back after being defeated. They felt that it was more likely that he had returned after passing the strongest trial path.

As for why they dared to attack the Li family even though they knew how powerful and incredible Li Daoming was?

It was precisely because Li Daoming was so incredible that they decided to strike first.

If Li Daoming took the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar with him as they thought, they would have a great chance of killing the Li family's ancestor, destroying the Li family, and taking control of Li Daoming's relatives.

Afterwards, the three great saints would carry the supreme imperial weapon, the Shenzhou Ding, as well as several quasi-imperial weapons and a quasi-imperial formation diagram, and rush to the starry sky to kill Li Daoming.

In their opinion, even if Li Daoming mastered the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot, as long as he had not yet become a Great Sage, it would be impossible for him to survive at their hands.

In this way, Shenzhouzi could not only avenge his own son, but also kill a powerful enemy in advance in his fight for the throne.

But what no one expected was that Li Daoming did not take the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar with him, but left it at the Li family.

Moreover, the Li family actually had an incomplete formation of the Great Emperor, so that not only did they fail to complete their plan, they also returned in defeat.

Although they suffered a crushing defeat, they did not lose confidence because they still had a chance!
That is to use up all the last bit of strength, rush to the starry sky and strangle Li Daoming.

In their opinion, the Li family left the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot in the Li family, so Li Daoming only had an unknown quasi-imperial weapon in his hand.

As long as they return to the Ancient Starry Road and find Li Daoming's trace, it would be easy to kill him.

If Li Daoming were strangled, with Shenzhouzi's talent and potential, he would be able to break through to the quasi-emperor realm within two or three hundred years, and then he would be able to settle everything.

However, the war had just ended at that time, Shenzhouzi was seriously injured, the old man was seriously injured and dying, and the other two great saints had just been unsealed and participated in the war, and were also injured. They needed time to recover from their injuries and return to their peak. That's why they did not set off immediately, but prepared to wait until everyone recovered before setting off for the Ancient Starry Sky Road.

However, what they didn't expect was that Li Daoming returned from Gu Lu so soon, which made their plan fail again.
