Based solely on its own power of creation, the Dark Side is merely a slightly more powerful creator, and it doesn't hold any advantage in this clash between Great Dao Emperors. Therefore, it's quite normal for it to be easily defeated.
It was only because he encountered a freak like Yi Shuihan that the tall demon's move was so difficult to deal with. You can imagine how difficult it would be to defeat an enhanced version of himself, especially with the interference of the short demon.
With the interference of the short demon, Yi Shuihan couldn't press his advantage. Forcing an attack would only backfire. For now, he could only remain still and react to whatever the opponent said.
"I don't believe it anymore."
The tall demon, manipulating Yi Shuihan's dark side, launched another attack. This time, the tall demon was much more serious. With his power, the dark side did not collapse at the first touch as it did last time, but managed to suppress Yi Shuihan.
"As expected, there is a problem. This human is hiding a great secret. It is because of this secret that you are able to unleash combat power far beyond your current level."
At this moment, the tall demon finally noticed the difference between the dark side and the light side and guessed something.
"Ok?"
Yi Shuihan's expression shifted slightly. Just now, the tall demon had actually transmitted a message to him, saying that as long as he revealed the secret that made him so strong, the tall demon would let him go and give him a chance to escape.
Yi Shuihan would certainly not agree to such a shady deal. Revealing the system's secret? That's a joke. He hadn't even told his master. This was a secret more important than the portable world itself. Unless he became invincible or the system could no longer play a significant role, he would not voluntarily reveal the system's secret.
The Dark Side definitely knows about the existence of the system, but its stance is the same as his, and it will never reveal the existence of the system. Of course, the Dark Side's understanding of the system is definitely not as deep as that of its master, Yi Shuihan, and it probably believes that Yi Shuihan's strength is largely due to the world he carries with him.
The fact that the tall demon doesn't know about the system means that his manipulation of the dark side is only superficial, and he can't know everything about the dark side. This is normal; how could anyone know everything so easily?
"Can the Holy Spirit help me out of this predicament?"
Continuing like this isn't a solution, so Yi Shuihan can only hope for help from the system. After all, the anti-demon was only defeated because of the system, and now that the system is so much stronger, perhaps it should have a way.
Chapter 1483, Deciding to Attempt to Become a Great Dao Emperor
The message from the system did not disappoint Yi Shuihan; in fact, it made him quite happy. The short demon's tricks had been almost completely cracked. When Yi Shuihan asked the question, the system had just figured out the solution. Even if he hadn't asked, the system would have notified him.
This speed is much faster than the last time. One reason is that the system has become much stronger, and another reason is that Yi Shuihan has been under the constant bombardment of the short demon, making it very easy for him to gather information.
Of course, the problem of the tall demon controlling the dark side has not been solved yet and will take some time.
Having found a way to deal with the short demon, Yi Shuihan did not act for the time being. Instead, he pretended to be barely holding on, wanting to buy some time so that he could deal with the tall and short demons in one fell swoop when the problem of the dark side was solved.
The reason for doing this was to prevent unforeseen circumstances from arising after he dealt with the short demon. If a few more Great Dao Emperor-level demons appeared, he wouldn't be able to handle it. By dealing with the tall and short demons in the shortest possible time, Yi Shuihan would have ample time to react.
The tall demon, wanting to force Yi Shuihan to reveal the secret, naturally had some reservations. He didn't want to kill Yi Shuihan completely at once, but rather wanted to incapacitate him before interrogating him. This made Yi Shuihan's plan to stall for time much simpler.
"Stop your futile resistance. Tell me the secret, and I promise you my life. Isn't it better to be alive?"
"If you still don't agree, I'll capture you alive. Then you'll be powerless to control yourself. I'll still find out what I want to know, and you'll suffer endless torment."
When enticement failed, so they resorted to coercion, the tall demon repeatedly sending telepathic messages to Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan wasn't completely unresponsive; he seemed to waver slightly, preventing the tall demon from realizing his true state.
"I promise..."
Just as the tall demon thought Yi Shuihan had finally given in and relaxed, Yi Shuihan unleashed a complex hand seal. A flash of light pierced through the darkness, and the tall demon was blasted away from the darkness.
Of course, that wasn't the end of it. Yi Shuihan finally showed his attitude of ignoring the bombardment of the short demon. The power of Hongmeng gathered into a long spear and instantly thrust countless spears at the tall demon. The tall demon didn't even have time to scream before it was completely annihilated.
After eliminating the tall demon, Yi Shuihan turned his attention to the short demon.
Meeting Yi Shuihan's murderous gaze, and with Yi Shuihan completely ignoring his moves, the short demon was filled with fear and didn't even have the thought of fighting back. He turned to run away.
Damn it, what kind of creation is this? Even the Great Dao Emperor isn't this powerful! It would take at least three, no, ten of him to deal with him.
Yi Shuihan certainly wouldn't let the short demon escape. In terms of speed, the short demon was a bit slower. In just one breath, Yi Shuihan caught up with it and used the power of Hongmeng to make the short demon follow in the footsteps of the tall demon.
From being on the defensive to swiftly annihilating the two demons, the entire process took only three breaths. The speed at which the situation changed was astonishing. Both the Great Dao Emperors and the demons who noticed the battle paused for a moment. As a result, some Great Dao Emperors seized the opportunity to launch a brilliant counterattack, while others seized the opportunity to catch the Great Dao Emperors off guard.
Although it wasn't what Yi Shuihan wanted, he had indeed managed to slightly destabilize the battlefield situation, something many Great Dao Emperors couldn't do.
After defeating the tall and short demons, Yi Shuihan did not stay in one place. He identified the direction and moved towards an area with fewer demons and more Great Dao Emperors. In this way, if the demons wanted to capture him, they would have to face other Great Dao Emperors first, which would be much more difficult than before.
To avoid being easily found again, Yi Shuihan stopped watching the battle from the same spot and instead changed his position from time to time according to the battlefield, while also keeping an eye out for any demons attacking him.
Thus, Yi Shuihan spent a relatively peaceful period, laying the foundation for the system's enhancement.
……
"Holy Spirit, what is the success rate if I were to attempt a breakthrough now?"
After watching most of the battles between the Great Dao Emperors and the Demons, Yi Shuihan finally couldn't help but ask.
"Based on the host's data, the success rate of breaking through now, assuming no disturbance, is 5%."
Five layers is two more than the previous three layers. Such a big change in such a short time shows that the power of the system is beyond words.
The 50% success rate had already made Yi Shuihan want to break through immediately. After all, the probability of breaking through from the Creation Realm to the Great Dao Emperor was not low, but terrifyingly high.
The current situation doesn't allow Yi Shuihan to accumulate experience slowly. Besides, even if he fails to break through, Yi Shuihan can still be resurrected.
Can someone who fails to break through to the Great Dao Emperor level and is resurrected? This is something that others wouldn't even dare to dream of; only Yi Shuihan, who possesses a heaven-defying system, can achieve it.
Of course, if he fails to break through and dies in this situation, the difficulty of resurrection will definitely be much greater than that of ordinary resurrection. The most obvious manifestation is that he doesn't know how many billions of years will pass after his resurrection. If too much time has passed, the worlds he spread his teachings to will be destroyed, and he may not be able to be resurrected.
“Others who create their own path dare to gamble on even the first level of success, and they don’t even have a chance to be resurrected. I have a 50% chance, and I still have a chance to be resurrected. How can I back down? How dare I back down?”
A breakthrough is definitely necessary. The question now is whether to break through here, or to use super teleportation to the Creation World to break through.
"Breaking through here will certainly attract the covetous eyes of the demons, who will definitely try to cause trouble when the opportunity arises. However, the Great Dao Emperors will not stand idly by. At crucial moments, we can use super teleportation to dodge an attack. If we teleport back to break through, demons may also come to sabotage us. So, it's decided that we will break through here."
Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan began to adjust his state. This was a very crucial breakthrough, and he could not be careless. If he succeeded, he would rise to the top in one step; if he failed, his life and death would be left to luck.
Chapter 1484, The Value of Yi Shuihan
With her eyes tightly closed, everything she had experienced from birth to the present began to surface in her mind—every moment, every second, all the firsts, all the choices, all the battles, all the words, everything…
Gradually, Yi Shuihan began to enter a special state of enlightenment, his essence, energy, and spirit began to merge together, communicating with heaven and earth, and his body and soul began to transform.
The unique Dao aura belonging to Yi Shuihan began to condense, and all beings in the myriad realms who cultivated the Dao of Yi Shuihan felt it and looked up in the direction where Yi Shuihan was.
This scene is somewhat similar to when Yi Shuihan condensed the Spirit Bomb in the Dragon Ball world and borrowed energy from all living beings on the planet. However, Yi Shuihan borrowed a more mysterious power of the Dao, which is indescribable and unpredictable.
Being in this massive battlefield at the Great Dao Emperor level, everyone was familiar with the breakthrough of Great Dao Emperors, so the unusual phenomenon on Yi Shuihan's body quickly attracted attention.
"Dao Ju, is he breaking through?"
"This guy is too careless! He didn't even find a safe place to break through. This is a battlefield. He could be affected if he's not careful."
"Fool, how dare you break through in front of us? Watch me interrupt it."
"Do not let evil spirits interfere with this young friend's breakthrough."
"Can you stop it?"
The already fierce war became even more intense due to Yi Shuihan's breakthrough. In order to kill Yi Shuihan, a candidate for the Great Dao Emperor, the demons used all their supernatural powers and went to extreme lengths.
"Is it that little guy? We absolutely cannot let him break through. He's already comparable to a Great Dao Emperor before he even broke through. If he does break through, what will happen? We must stop him with all our might, even if it means sacrificing several Emperor-level beings."
After noticing that Yi Shuihan was breaking through, the demonic Five Leaves sent out the message that they would stop at nothing to interfere with Yi Shuihan's breakthrough, further fueling the demons' madness.
Seeing the demons' madness, the Great Dao Emperors also went mad, except that they were frantically trying to prevent the demons from getting close to Yi Shui Han.
"Although we don't know why these demons are so eager to stop him from succeeding, we just need to stop them from doing what they want to do."
"I know him. He is Yi Shuihan, the disciple of the Creation Emperor. He has cultivated to such a level in just a few hundred million years, and now he is about to break through to the Great Dao Emperor. He is an unparalleled genius."
"A disciple of destiny? Then we must be even more careful not to let anything happen to him."
Yi Shuihan's breakthrough caused the entire battlefield to revolve around him. The demons' target shifted from their respective opponents to Yi Shuihan. There were hundreds of Great Dao Emperor-level demons on the battlefield, and nearly a hundred of them were eyeing Yi Shuihan. Ordinary Great Dao Emperors would be terrified if they were stared at like that.
"Protect him well, and I will give you twenty drops of Life Essence as a reward, based on the effort you put in."
The Emperor of Life roared, causing the Great Dao Emperors, who were already using eight-tenths of their strength, to use ten or even more.
Twenty drops of Life Essence Liquid represent two hundred billion years for the Life Emperor. He spared no expense for Yi Shuihan, demonstrating his deep concern for her.
"Don't let evil spirits interfere with my disciple's breakthrough. I owe everyone a favor."
After the Life Emperor, Yi Shuihan's true master, the Creation Emperor, also spoke. Although it wasn't anything substantial, it still gave a jolt to all the Great Dao Emperors. Human favors are not like other things; their value can vary greatly. But the Creation Emperor's favor was undoubtedly priceless, no less valuable than the Life Source Liquid.
With the favor of the Creation Emperor, and assuming the Creation Emperor doesn't perish, one can at least roam freely throughout the myriad realms, if not invincible. As long as one doesn't provoke beings stronger than the Creation Emperor, one will have an extra layer of protection for their life.
No one doubted that the Creation Emperor and the Life Emperor would keep their promise. At the level of the Great Dao Emperor, every word and action is in accordance with the Great Dao. Once they break their promise, their own Dao will be shaken. Stagnation of strength is the least of their worries. If they are not careful, they may even regress in strength.
It seems that in order to compete with the Creation Emperor and his group, the leaders of the evil forces have also offered various benefits.
"Whoever kills him, I will give up a hundred great worlds for you to devour and destroy."
"You have the chance to kill 10 Great Dao Emperors. Kill him and you'll get one."
In this way, Yi Shuihan's value was instantly raised to the level of a hundred Great Worlds plus ten ordinary Great Dao Emperors, which was simply unimaginable. Many Great Dao Emperors present were shocked by the extravagance of the evil forces.
No matter how intense the external environment was, or how strong the demons' killing intent was towards Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan's attention was not on it at the moment. He was so immersed in breaking through that his perception of the outside world had been reduced to a minimum. He would only notice someone if they posed a truly fatal threat to him.
The breakthrough proceeded exceptionally smoothly, with virtually no obstacles. Yi Shuihan successfully condensed his own Dao River, and a phantom of the Dao River appeared in front of him, gradually expanding and solidifying.
"Such speed! Apart from the Dao River, the fastest I've ever seen to condense it took at least a month. How long has it taken him?"
"Amazing! If there were no external interference, this breakthrough would almost certainly be successful. It went too smoothly."
"As expected of a peerless prodigy, now I know why the demons wanted to kill him so much. His aura has already surpassed most of us, right? Once he successfully breaks through, he could potentially reach the top ten in strength."
Before long, the phenomenon of the Dao River shining brightly together, just like when Dongming broke through, appeared. The entire universe knew that a Great Dao Emperor was about to be born. The beings in the universe were naturally happy and excited. At this time of demonic invasion, the appearance of a new Great Dao Emperor was a good omen, like a light suddenly appearing in the darkness.
"Still want to break through? Dream on! I, Hiruzen, will finish you off."
The appearance of the Dao River shining together made the Great Dao Emperors relax a bit, because usually when this phenomenon occurs, a breakthrough is almost guaranteed. However, because of this relaxation, a demon finally broke through the Great Dao Emperors' defenses and approached Yi Shuihan, and the situation suddenly became unpredictable.
Chapter 1485, Finally Becoming an Emperor
Being able to break through the defenses of the Great Dao Emperors, this demon named Zhichong is certainly not an ordinary demon. To make a comparison, Zhichong's strength is only one level below Wuye, and one level above the anti-demon and tall and short demons that Yi Shuihan once encountered. It is equivalent to the level of a Great Dao Emperor ranked in the top 100 of the myriad worlds.
The countless insect claws on Zhichong's body gripped the Dao River surrounding Yi Shuihan. If Yi Shuihan hadn't been surrounded by the Dao River at this moment, Zhichong might have preferred to attack Yi Shuihan directly.
The Daohe River, which was originally expanding, was suddenly shrunk considerably due to the capture, and it also became chaotic.
Daohe and Yi Shuihan were closely related, so Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't miss such a big change. He raised his head and looked at Zhichong.
If it were anyone else, they would be helpless in this situation, since none of them have broken through to the Great Dao Emperor level, and even if they had, they might not be a match for Zhi Chong.
Yi Shuihan merely frowned slightly before accelerating his breakthrough.
Daohe's power began to swell again, and many of Zhichong's claws were suddenly snapped open. Just as all the claws were about to be snapped open, some of the claws extended a thin hook and pierced tightly into Daohe.
"Indeed extraordinary, but I am extraordinary as well. Shatter!"
Cracks began to appear where the hook had pierced the skin and then spread out.
The once bright river was now covered with dense black lines, and it had become somewhat dilapidated.
At this moment, the surrounding Great Dao Emperors finally reacted and attacked Zhichong. Unsurprisingly, Zhichong was repelled, but many of its claws remained on the Dao River, causing continuous damage.
"Hahaha, he's dead meat."
The demons laughed wildly, while the Emperor of the Great Dao looked at Yi Shuihan with regret and burning rage towards the demons.
"Stay calm, we must stay calm."
The reality is not as dire as it appears to the outside world. Unlike ordinary Dao Creators, Yi Shuihan possesses a system, and the demonic power of Zhi Chong is not insurmountable. What he needs to do is maintain the stability of the Dao River, repair its damage, and prevent it from completely spiraling out of control.
"We have no choice but to discard the contaminated parts. If we had more time, we could have made better choices, but we're racing against time right now."
The Dao River belonging to Yi Shuihan began to collapse from the outside. Of course, this was a controlled collapse guided by Yi Shuihan. If you look closely, you can see that the places where the collapse and breakage occurred all had one characteristic: that was where the power of the leech demon had spread to its limit. After the collapse, the power of the demon could no longer affect the Dao River.
"Look, he hasn't failed yet!"
"A Great Emperor shouted."
"Huh, there's such a thing?"
Having understood Yi Shuihan's actions, a Great Dao Emperor exclaimed in amazement.
"I thought the Dao River shining together meant the Great Dao Emperor would be broken, but I didn't expect this little guy to be so powerful. Not bad, not bad."
The anger on the faces of the Great Dao Emperors turned into smiles, and the laughter of the demons abruptly stopped.
The one who felt the worst was Zhi Chong. He was happiest just now because he thought Yi Shuihan was doomed. As the one who caused all this, he would get the chance to kill 10 Great Dao Emperors and a hundred Great Worlds. Once he got these, his strength would undoubtedly be further improved, reaching the level of the Five Leaves, or even stronger.
All of this has now vanished, which is worse than death for Zhi Chong. He looks at Yi Shuihan with madness, his emotions almost out of control.
The Dao River finally stabilized after shrinking to one-third of its previous size, but even now, Yi Shuihan's Dao River was still much larger than a Dao River in the ordinary sense.
The Dao River slowly rose into the sky, resonating with and interacting with other Dao Rivers, exuding a mysterious and noble aura, causing countless beings in all the heavens and myriad realms to kneel in worship.
The sound of the Great Dao resounded in the void, seemingly solemnly proclaiming some kind of oath.
This time, there were no unexpected events, and Yi Shuihan successfully broke through to the Great Dao Emperor level.
With the transformation of his life, Yi Shuihan completely became a Great Dao Emperor, completing his evolution. He naturally exuded the aura and pressure of a high-ranking being. From now on, he would be a powerful being who could suppress all realms with just his aura. Of course, at this moment, his aura was completely useless because he was surrounded by Great Dao Emperor-level beings.
"I am a game, congratulations fellow Daoist on achieving the Great Dao Emperor."
