"Don't get close to him. Use ranged attacks so he can't hurt us. Don't be fooled by him. He can't be so strong that we can't even do any damage to him."

"Good, everyone, don't be intimidated by him, let's launch a ranged attack together."

O'Neill's words dispelled much of the fear the prospective emperors had of Yi Shuihan, and they no longer held back, taking out their ranged attacks.

Chapter 1331, Dao Li

More than fifty quasi-emperors attacked Yi Shuihan together, and the scene was earth-shattering, with an aura that seemed to threaten to destroy a world.

The sky was illuminated by colorful lights, and for a moment Yi Shuihan was like the protagonist under the spotlight in the center of the stage. Of course, those light-wielding emperors all carried deadly danger.

Mei Ruhua launched another attack, viewing all attacks as a painting, and then turning fantasy into reality through mental interference, transforming the illusory into the real.

Under the nearly stunned gazes of the quasi-emperors, their attacks, thrown into the void, were like colored ink splashed onto a canvas, gradually reducing from three dimensions to two.

A huge scroll floated silently in the void, like an abyss separating Yi Shuihan from the quasi-emperors, showing the quasi-emperors that their hope of not touching Yi Shuihan was unattainable.

"He can't use this ability indefinitely. If he keeps attacking, he can't outlast us."

O'Neal shouted unwillingly. He had only used 30% of his strength earlier, but this time he decided to go all out.

The number of quasi-emperors launching the second attack was less than the first, but this time it was no worse than the first. On the contrary, the second attack was more difficult to deal with because most of the quasi-emperors were using their true abilities.

"If it were me, would I be completely unharmed?"

The Emperor did not join the attack on Yi Shuihan. Before this, he had thought Yi Shuihan was overconfident. However, now he vaguely believed that Yi Shuihan could do it, which made him very uneasy. He knew that he could not do it, and even if he broke through to the Chaos Emperor realm, he was not sure if he could do it.

Another painting appeared in the void, then a third, then a fourth...

Half an hour later, the quasi-emperors completely stopped their attacks, staring at Yi Shuihan in astonishment. After continuous all-out attacks, they all felt exhausted, but Yi Shuihan was completely unharmed and even more energetic. This completely overturned O'Neill's view that Yi Shuihan was exhausted.

Previously, I only knew that I was no match for Yi Shuihan and didn't have many feelings about it. Now that I have experienced it firsthand, I have inevitably been tainted by the shadow of Yi Shuihan. If I can't get rid of it, then I can forget about breaking through to the Chaos Emperor.

Having witnessed Yi Shuihan's inexplicable power, these quasi-emperors regretted their actions. Why did they provoke Yi Shuihan in the first place? If they had known it would turn out this way, what would have happened if the company had taken a quarter of the Fullness Spring?

"Are we really on the same level as him? Perhaps only someone like him is qualified to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm!"

They were unaware that Yi Shuihan had already broken through to become a Chaos Emperor, which made them even more desperate.

"Are you coming or not? If not, it's my turn to attack. Don't worry, I'll allow you to dodge. Dodge however you want. I'll only make one move. If even one of you manages to dodge it, I still won't interfere."

If these words had been spoken half an hour ago, they would have been overjoyed by these aspiring emperors. But now, none of them reacted much. Their attention was no longer on the matter of the Feast of Satiety. Even if the company received more of the Feast of Satiety, it wouldn't be as bad as the losses they had suffered, the losses of their shattered confidence.

Yi Shuihan didn't give them much time. He made his move as soon as he finished speaking. He wasn't a masochist who liked being beaten. He had only wanted to try out the "Beautiful as a Painting" skill that he had once wanted to buy. Now, he wanted to try out another skill that he had once coveted.

Upon reaching the Chaos Emperor level, Yi Shuihan was already considered a strong individual at the Gold level. He could instantly analyze and utilize many low-value skills he had previously seen in the skill shop.

"The Way Separates"

With a soft shout, the group of quasi-emperors seemed to have arrived at the beginning of the universe, when the world was born, and everything was chaotic and disordered, and even the Dao was incomplete.

All the quasi-emperors who had previously attacked Yi Shuihan had their eyes glazed over, as if they had lost their minds. This scene sent chills down the spines of those quasi-emperors who were not affected, and they wished they could get away from Yi Shuihan immediately.

A moment later, the affected quasi-emperors regained their senses. Recalling what had happened, their expressions changed drastically, and they began to examine themselves.

Dao Li is not a golden skill that merely confuses the mind and then ends there. As its name suggests, its main effect is to strip away the Dao. In detail, if attacked by Dao Li, some of the attacker's understanding of the Dao will be directly lost.

The skill "Dao Li" is essentially an advanced version of knocking down one's cultivation level. It directly destroys one's understanding of the Great Dao. It's important to understand that cultivation is a physical entity, a collection of energy within the body. Knocking down one's cultivation level is simple; one can destroy the body or soul that carries it. However, knocking down one's understanding of the Dao is extremely difficult. After all, the Dao is formless, and even a mortal can comprehend it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the body or soul.

"What's going on? Could it be that he really didn't do anything just now, and was just trying to scare us? Well, even if it was him, he couldn't possibly offend all of us completely! He's not stupid."

One of the emperors, after examining the body for a long time without finding any problems, muttered to himself.

"My God! My Fire Path has dropped from the seventh floor of the Tower of Babel to the peak of the sixth floor. How could this be? This can't be real, this can't be real."

A scream, followed by the desperate cries of a prospective emperor, stunned all the prospective emperors who were just relieved that they had suffered no losses.

A few seconds later, screams rang out one after another, and they all found that their understanding of the Dao had been more or less lost.

Of course, the only one who fell directly from the 7th floor of the Tower of Babel to the 6th floor was the very first unlucky guy. He was quite peculiar because he only reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level in the end. He hadn't properly consolidated his Dao on the 7th floor of the Tower of Babel, so his foundation was the shallowest and that's why he was knocked down to the 6th floor.

Dao Li's knockdown was not temporary; it completely reduced the opponent to the state before he broke through to the 7th level. In other words, he would have to break through again, and this breakthrough would not be any easier than the previous one, unlike a complete overhaul where there were no bottlenecks.

Not all quasi-emperors are like Yi Shuihan. This quasi-emperor probably won't be able to return to the peak of the quasi-emperor realm before the secret realm closes. At this point, it's completely impossible for him to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm with the help of the secret realm.

This outcome made all the prospective emperors present no longer dare to oppose Yi Shuihan. Even O'Neal had completely lost the will to fight against Yi Shuihan. Although he still maintained his understanding of the 7th level, if Yi Shuihan did this a few more times, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't fall to the 6th level. Compared to the hope of breaking through, all grudges could be temporarily ignored.

Chapter 1332, Dudu's Hometown

"No one should have managed to dodge it! If you did, then step forward. I mean what I say, and I won't participate in the distribution of the Feast Spring."

Who would step forward? Of course, no one would. Not only would no one manage to dodge, but even if they did manage to dodge and weren't discovered by Yi Shuihan, they wouldn't be foolish enough to step forward now. If Yi Shuihan took notice of them, the Chaos Emperor would be unable to break through, or at least regress.

"Wow, that's amazing! He's practically invincible. Luckily, he's on our side."

The joy of the company's prospective emperors was evident on their faces; they stood tall and proud, a stark contrast to the group of prospective emperors who were drooping their heads.

"Then the allocation is settled. You can discuss how to allocate the rest!"

Logically speaking, given Yi Shuihan's formidable strength, he could have easily taken over half or even more of the company's share, let alone a quarter. However, Yi Shuihan did not do so, which relieved the group of prospective emperors and also largely dispelled their displeasure at the reduced distribution of the Satiety Spring due to Yi Shuihan's intervention.

Out of respect for Yi Shuihan, the school also benefited, ultimately taking a quarter of the spoils, while the remainder was divided equally among each prospective emperor. This distribution delighted the prospective emperors from smaller factions.

The fact that O'Neal and the other reincarnators agreed to this distribution plan surprised the other potential emperors, and in the end, they could only blame everything on Yi Shuihan.

"So he really left?"

It was O'Neal who left. He left the very night the distribution was discussed, and he probably wouldn't accept the assigned Fountain of Satiateness.

With the Spring of Satiety, even though the amount wasn't quite enough, the quasi-Emperor of the Secret Realm began his second round of cultivation.

The special elements of the chaotic energy were continuously absorbed, in a place unknown to the quasi-emperors, to the pyramid that Yi Shuihan's clone Taiyi had once visited.

The inky black aura began to spread in all directions, and wherever it was shrouded, the earth cracked and the vegetation withered.

It's strange, given the environment of this secret realm, if flowers, plants and trees can survive, there should be other animals living there too. But in reality, apart from the little girl, I didn't encounter any other creatures that could move. Moreover, these flowers, plants and trees were all unintelligent, so calling them living beings was a bit of a misnomer.

The inky black aura initially expanded very slowly, only a few miles a day. However, as time passed, the expansion speed increased rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

Decades later, the inky black aura had occupied nearly one percent of the secret realm. With terrifying roars echoing, the expansion speed, which was already a hundred times faster than at the beginning, surged again. One after another, demons emerged from the land shrouded in the inky black aura and began to spread in all directions.

"What's going on? I have a bad feeling, like I've overlooked something."

Both Yi Shuihan's main body and his clones had a vague sense of danger, a feeling that it could erupt at any moment.

Yi Shuihan would naturally not ignore the sense of crisis. As a cultivator, it was impossible for such a feeling not to exist; something must have definitely happened.

After sensing the danger, Yi Shuihan's true form left the area of ​​the Satisfaction Spring to search for the source of the danger.

On the other side, Taiyi and the little girl were in a very special place, which could be said to be the core of this secret realm.

"Dudu, is this the place where you first have memories?"

Taiyi asked the little girl beside him, "Dudu is the nickname that Yi Shuihan gave the little girl. After so many years of getting along, the little girl can now communicate with Yi Shuihan in a fairly normal way."

"Yes, this is the place. Dudu has lived here all along."

The little girl clapped her hands, her face full of excitement. This place held special meaning for her, and returning here made her very happy.

For the first time, the little girl let go of Yi Shuihan and ran forward.

A smile appeared on Taiyi's face; he was equally happy for the little girl's happiness.

"Be careful not to fall."

Taiyi followed the little girl at a leisurely pace, observing his surroundings as he went.

The small lake, less than a thousand square meters in size, is divided in the middle by a bluestone path, and a simple yet mysterious palace stands in the center of the lake.

The palace was the place the little girl considered her home. As the little girl ran happily on the bluestone path, Yi Shuihan finally stepped onto the bluestone path as well.

"kindness!?"

His expression changed slightly. The moment his feet touched the bluestone path, Yi Shuihan's body was subjected to tremendous pressure, and this pressure continued to increase, as if it would never stop increasing as long as Yi Shuihan did not leave.

"Looks like we made the right choice coming here."

Taiyi was not surprised but rather delighted. He just wanted to encounter something different. If nothing happened, he would feel like he was dying.

As for the endless pressure, it was still a bit too little for Yi Shuihan. He walked on the bluestone road without changing his expression, completely ignoring the ever-increasing pressure. It would take at least a few months for this pressure to make him waver.

The several hundred meters of bluestone path took only a few minutes to walk. When Yi Shuihan stepped into the palace grounds, the pressure suddenly disappeared. What came into view was a string of zithers. All kinds of zithers of different shapes were scattered on the ground.

No one played the zither, yet the music began on its own. Taiyi's mind was drawn to the music, and he became completely absorbed in it, as if he had come specifically to listen to the music.

"Hey!? What are you daydreaming about? Come on, Dudu, I'll show you my baby."

Taiyi's eyes gradually returned to normal. Looking at the little girl who was staring at him with a puzzled expression, he felt a chill of fear when he recalled what had happened before.

"I was careless. Luckily, Dudu was here. Otherwise, I might have been immersed in it forever, and I don't know when I would wake up. Maybe a while, maybe several years, maybe even longer. If it were more than 100,000 years, I would have been stuck in this secret realm."

Suppressing the urge to destroy all the zithers, Taiyi was pulled by Dudu towards the depths of the palace.

Perhaps because of Dudu, nothing unusual happened along the way, and they eventually arrived safely in a room that was neither too big nor too small.

Chapter 1333, Rag Doll

Under Taiyi's puzzled gaze, the little girl Dudu went to a corner of the room, then pulled out several bricks and took out a rag doll from them.

The doll is a young woman who looks about 8% like Dudu, like an adult version of Dudu.

Dudu carefully wiped the rag doll with her hand, even though it was actually spotless.

"Look, this is my baby. Whenever I can't sleep or have something on my mind, I feel happy as long as I hold it."

Holding up the doll, which was a third the size of herself, Dudu presented it to Taiyi as if it were a treasure.

Hearing Dudu's words, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but feel sorry for Dudu. He thought of Dudu alone in such a large palace, with only a rag doll for company, how lonely she must be.

"Then why didn't you take it with you when you left?"

Taiyi didn't ask Dudu why she left, because there was no need to ask. Anyone who stayed here would want to leave and find a life like their own.

"It's safest to keep it here; it'll get dirty if you take it out."

Dudu wrinkled her nose, looking exceptionally cute.

Seemingly feeling uncomfortable standing, Dudu walked to the jade bed next to her and sat down, swinging her legs in the air, her eyes curving into crescents, talking to her doll while eating her favorite chocolate.

"Let me tell you, Guoguo, I met this big brother outside. He's so nice! He gave me all sorts of yummy things. This is chocolate, my favorite. Besides chocolate, there are also cookies, cakes, and sweet candies..."

Dudu's soft, sweet voice echoed in the room, having a calming effect on Taiyi's mind. A smile unconsciously appeared on Taiyi's face, and a thought arose in his heart that he would never allow anyone to hurt Dudu.

"I've been tricked again, is it emotional manipulation?"

Taiyi realized that under the influence of some force, she began to have the idea of ​​protecting Dudu, and even putting Dudu first.

“Protection is definitely necessary, but it’s something I want to do myself, not something I’m influenced by.”

The chains of rules unique to the Chaos Emperor manifested, isolating the invisible forces in the void, and I immediately felt much more comfortable.

The force that could influence Taiyi would not give up easily, and immediately increased its intensity.

As the intensity increased, it was inevitable that Yi Shuihan would trace the source back to it, and the true source of this power was...

"So it was there. But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could something that Dudu treasures be ordinary?"

That's right, the power that influences Taiyi comes from the rag doll that Dudu is currently holding in her arms.

I hadn't looked closely before, but now that I do, it's no ordinary rag doll. It's a doll made with perfectly regular structures. It's incredibly high-end. The person who made this rag doll must be a master. Even Taiyi, who has now become the Chaos Emperor, couldn't make the same doll.

Having such a magical doll, Dudu's background is obviously extraordinary, a fact he realized the first time he met Dudu.

It seemed that the power it was activating was too strong, because the doll had begun to emit a faint light, and even Dudu noticed the abnormality.

"Hey, Guoguo, why are you glowing? Are you happy that I met such a nice older brother?"

Dudu, who had long treasured the plush doll, naturally had no doubts. Seeing the changes in the plush doll, she became even happier and started talking about her and Taiyi.

The light grew brighter and brighter until it became a completely golden luminous body, with fine golden lines extending out from the doll's body, filling the entire room and even further afield.

Taiyi's body was already tightly bound by fine golden threads, as if he were inside a cocoon.

Thin threads tried to invade Yi Shuihan's sea of ​​consciousness from all directions, but were blocked by Yi Shuihan's chains of rules.

Seemingly realizing that Yi Shuihan's chain of rules could not be affected by thin lines, the thin lines gradually began to gather and condense, eventually becoming a chain of rules as well, thicker and longer than Yi Shuihan's chain of rules.

"Big brother, what are you playing? You're not playing with Dudu."

Taiyi almost couldn't catch his breath after his defenses were breached. It seems that in Dudu's eyes, he was just playing around!

For Taiyi, the chain of rules that he needs to focus all his energy on is responsible for protecting Dudu, so it naturally poses no threat to Dudu. In Dudu's perception, she even feels quite comfortable in this environment!

"Can you control them and keep them away from me?"

Taiyi could hold on for a while longer, but this couldn't go on forever. Since this power was meant to protect Dudu, he decided to listen to Dudu and spoke to her.

"Don't you like playing like this?"
