834 Ninth Realm of the Martial Dao (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
A demigod advancing to the ninth realm of martial arts was to turn one s rules into the origin. And those who had the Origin could control the Tianwu Continent. Although he had yet to become a god, to a certain extent, he was almost equivalent to a god in the Tianwu Continent.
The commotion coming from Xiao Shi was immediately sensed by the Martial Emperor. Even with the Martial Emperor’s calm state of mind, his entire expression changed drastically, and his pupils trembled after discovering that Xiao Shi had actually advanced to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao.
As if he had seen a ghost, he cried out involuntarily. “Impossible!” Veins bulged on his forehead. He felt that the scene in front of him was filled with absurdity. He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to advance from a demigod to the ninth realm.
But what did he see now? Xiao Shi had actually advanced to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao in front of him?!
Although Xiao Shi’s advancement speed had always been beyond common sense, the Martial Emperor never believed that Xiao Shi would advance at an incomprehensible speed like before after becoming a demigod.
However, the scene he saw at this moment made his expression stiffen a little. The higher one’s martial arts realm was, the more difficult it was to improve and the more time it required.
But Xiao Shi completely broke this common sense. To him, the higher the realm, the easier it was to break through. The breakthrough speed was faster and faster. He had just broken through to the demigod level not long ago. How many days had it been? Yet he was already advancing to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao!
Such a thing had never happened in the entire Tianwu Continent, no matter which era it was.
Apart from intense shock and shock, the Martial Emperor was even more furious and indignant. Xiao Shi had now advanced to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao with the Slaughter Rule. This also meant that he would not be able to advance to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao with the five rules of heaven and earth.
Xiao Shi’s actions ruined his plan! This was what the Martial Emperor found most difficult to accept. If he wanted to become a Martial God in this life, advancing to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao with the five Rules of Heaven and Earth was an important step. Once something went wrong at this step, there was basically no hope of becoming a Martial God.
Rage surged in his heart. His body trembled. His eyes were bloodshot. If he didn’t know that he couldn’t interrupt or stop him from advancing from a demigod to the ninth realm, he would have done his best to stop him! “Damn it!! Damn it!! How could he advance to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao in such a short period of time?! Just what is he hiding on him!?”
The Martial Emperor’s eyes widened. He had thought of many possibilities. However, he never expected Xiao Shi to be able to advance to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao in such a short period of time.
The Martial Emperor felt that no matter how bold or crazy his thoughts were, it was impossible for him to think of this. He took a deep breath. Although he found it difficult to accept, things had already come to this. He could only use the four rules of heaven and earth to advance to the ninth realm of the Martial
Dao.
The vortex that filled Xiao Shi’s surroundings had already turned into a ball of light that seemed to be able to illuminate the entire Tianwu Continent. His body was covered in this ball of light, and his figure could no longer be seen. This ball of light contained the aura of a breakthrough. His slaughter rules were constantly sublimating and turning into the origin.
A loud bang that shook the entire Tianwu Continent sounded. The 100,000- foot-tall storm erupted again! The rumbling spread all the way. Wherever it passed, countless ruins and dust rose into the sky and spun. In the end, this storm enveloped all the areas of the huge Tianwu Continent.
Under the witness of the will of the Tianwu Continent, countless fog appeared out of thin air in the world as Xiao Shi breathed. It was sucked over from all directions by him and fused into his body through his seven orifices.
Cracking sounds came from his body. His hair had grown a lot, and his skin looked even fairer. Even his appearance was much younger than before. It was as if he had become a young man. When he opened his eyes, what appeared in them was not an ancient look, but an endless depth.
“So this is the ninth realm of the Martial Dao!” Xiao Shi whispered. Previously, his understanding of the ninth realm of the Martial Dao was not clear enough. Only now did he completely understand what the ninth realm of the Martial
Dao meant.
If the entire Tianwu World was compared to a huge giant, then he was like he had the right to control this giant’s body and could control it nonchalantly. And be it the Dao of the Daolord realm or the rules of a demigod, they were only the blood and flesh that formed this giant.
But now, what Xiao Shi controlled was the entire giant! This was completely incomparable to rules and Dao. After understanding all of this, Xiao Shi slowly stood up. The moment he stood up, the aura that erupted from his body distorted the world and made the surroundings rumble, as if he was an existence that could support the sky.
The Martial Emperor at the side also trembled uncontrollably, shaken by Xiao Shi’s aura.
“Martial Emperor, your death is here!” Xiao Shi looked at the Martial Emperor. There were two black lightning bolts in his eyes. At this moment, the Martial Emperor was like an insignificant ant in his eyes.
Xiao Shi felt that he only needed to move his finger to easily crush him. However, the Martial Emperor was already prepared. After plundering Demigod Xingkui’s Heaven and Earth Rules, he immediately began to use the four Heaven and Earth Rules on him to advance to the ninth realm. A huge fluctuation immediately exploded from the Martial Emperor’s body.
Xiao Shi frowned slightly at this. He tried to kill the Martial Emperor while he was breaking through. However, he realized that during the process of a demigod breaking through to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, there would be the protection of the will of the world. Even though Xiao Shi had already stepped into the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, he was unable to surpass the will of the world to forcefully kill the Martial Emperor.
This must be the reason why the Martial Emperor didn’t stop him when he broke through.
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He realized that there would be a peak Ninth Realm battle between him and the Martial Emperor. Such a confrontation had never happened in the entire Tianwu Continent.
After all, martial artists who had reached the ninth realm of the martial Dao would establish an era dynasty immediately to prevent a second ninth realm martial artist from appearing. Therefore, in the past eras, there had never been two ninth realm martial artists at the same time.
This kind of battle between ninth-stage martial artists had never happened in the Tianwu Continent.
Xiao Shi actually did not have any advantage. Firstly, as a veteran ninth-stage martial artist, the Martial Emperor was more proficient in all aspects than him. In addition, he had advanced to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao with four rules of the world. He would definitely be stronger than ordinary ninth-stage martial artists.
However, Xiao Shi felt that he had a chance of winning. Ever since he stepped onto the path of martial arts and became a martial artist, he was the strongest in every realm of martial arts. With the solid foundation he had built in the past,
Xiao Shi felt that he would be the strongest in the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. He also had another advantage. That was the advantage of time.
The Martial Emperor broke through later than him. Therefore, he still had enough time to strengthen himself before the Martial Emperor broke through. Thinking of this, Xiao Shi’s figure flashed. He teleported back to his domain. Now that he had stepped into the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, he could teleport anywhere on the Tianwu Continent.
After returning to his domain, he came to the domain that belonged to the Beginner Martial Era. He would expand the passageway that connected this area to the Beginner Martial Era to a greater extent.
He wanted to let the spacetime in the Beginner Martial Era affect the flow of time in this area and slow down the flow of time in this area. This way, he would have more time to make the final improvement before the Martial Emperor broke through.
