Awakening (2)

What puzzled him was, even if an item that exceeded his realm appeared in the past, he could still see relevant information about it, unless it was an item that exceeded his realm by two realms.
The grade of this item only exceeded his by one realm. Logically speaking, he should be able to see the relevant item information.
“Then there’s only one possibility.” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. Only after becoming a god can I see the relevant information of the divine item. Even if I’m only one realm away from becoming a Martial God, as long as I don t become a Martial God, I won’t be able to see any information about divine
items.”
He looked at the divine item in his hand. He felt a little complicated. Usually, it was a good thing to drop items above one’s level. And so, he faced another problem. That was, before becoming a Martial God, he would not be able to use this item.
Which meant, even if this item was extraordinary, it could not immediately increase his strength and help him resolve the calamity he was about to face. He had to survive the calamity and become a Martial God before he could use this item. This was a little uncomfortable.
“Looks like I still can’t survive the calamity by dropping items.” Xiao Shi sighed. He knew that the calamity he was about to face would definitely not be a normal calamity.
The Martial Emperor’s words before he died still echoed in his mind.
How would the Martial Emperor cause trouble for him when he was dead?
Suddenly, he thought of a key thing that he had neglected previously.
Extermination Origin!!
As the origin of the Martial Emperor’s previous life, the Martial Emperor had used the extermination origin as bait to lure Demigod Xingkui and Xiao Shi over. The origin that the Martial Emperor had formed in this life was not an extermination origin, but a new origin formed by four different rules of heaven and earth. His origin had already been completely destroyed during the battle.
However, the extermination origin of his previous life still existed.
It was very likely that the Martial Emperor had done something he didn’t know about in his previous life. Although the Martial Emperor had not advanced to the ninth realm with the Origin of Extermination in this life, it had always been in his hands.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately began to search for the Extermination Origin. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find the origin of extermination in the Tianwu Continent.
So he was more certain of his guess. And the truth was indeed as he had thought. When the Martial Emperor realized that he had failed, he decisively detonated the extermination origin and did something earth-shattering.
The Tianwu Continent was extremely huge. Apart from the various territories that were revealed on the surface and the great outer realm, there were still many hidden areas in the Tianwu Continent. If the Tianwu Continent was considered a Great World, then these hidden areas were like Small Worlds attached to the Tianwu Continent.
They all had an independent world. However, due to various reasons, the people in the Tianwu Continent were unable to find and come into contact with these hidden areas. Only certain people could enter these areas.
For example, the area where the Martial Emperor and High God Blood Sacrifice met was a hidden area in the Tianwu Continent. Only Martial Emperors could enter this area. Including the altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, it was actually a hidden area in the Tianwu Continent. Even if the others approached these hidden areas, they could not enter.
There were actually many similar areas on the Tianwu Continent.
With Xiao Shi’s current cultivation at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, it was not difficult for him to find these hidden areas while controlling the entire Tianwu Continent. However, his previous battle with the Martial Emperor had mainly focused his energy on recovering his Slaughter Origin.
He was also not in the mood to search for these hidden areas.
A month after the battle between Xiao Shi and the Martial Emperor. In one of the hidden areas of the Tianwu Continent. This hidden area was actually a glacier. The glacier was dead silent all year round without any living creatures. Time seemed to have stopped here.
The entire glacier suddenly shook. The incomparably intense vibration shook the entire glacier. The ground cracked. The earth shook and the mountains shook!
Under the continuous vibrations, an arm pierced through the glacier ground and reached out from the depths of the ground. An existence that had been sleeping deep underground for many years opened its eyes.
He had completely awakened from his sleep!
Seven Stars Territory.
At this moment, the ancient stone door deep underground in the Seven Stars Secret Ground also trembled violently. Although Xiao Shi had arrived in front of the stone door of the Seven Stars Secret Ground, he had not been able to open it. He had always been curious about the existence behind this stone door.
However, he had never had the chance to explore this seven-star secret place again.
Now, as it trembled, the stone door trembled continuously as cracks spread out. When these cracks filled the entire stone door, there was a bang. The stone door shattered. From there, the hidden area behind the stone door was revealed.
An ancient sigh came from this hidden area.
Under a flaming lake covered in hot lava. The originally calm lake suddenly surged with a sea of fire at this moment. Waves of fire soared into the sky. An incomparably huge face gradually gathered above the lake.
The moment this face opened its eyes, the sky above was suddenly dyed red. It turned into a blazing sky. A thunderous sound was transmitted from the huge face and exploded in this hidden area. “Who… awakened me?”
In an area filled with countless poisonous fog and miasma and filled with many poisonous insects, the poisonous fog rolled and overlapped. All the poisonous insects raised their heads and let out sharp and ear-piercing cries. Their stomachs swelled at a visible speed, like inflated balloons.
In the next second, the swollen stomachs of these poisonous insects ruptured at the same time. More poisonous fog and miasma surged out of their stomachs. The poisonous fog and miasma kept gathering, and transformed into an illusory figure. However, this figure kept condensing in the illusory state.
It turned into a real figure.
Xiao Shi, who had already returned to his domain, was immersed in the recovery of the Slaughter Origin. After these few days of recovery, he had successfully recovered one-third of the Slaughter Origin. He was very satisfied with this progress. He believed that it would not be long before he would be able to recover all the Slaughter Origin.
During this period of time, he had been thinking about the Martial Emperor’s intentions. He had many guesses. Now, he was basically certain. The Martial Emperor had done something with the extermination origin.
With the powerful origin, what the Martial Emperor did was definitely not simple. These few days, Xiao Shi had been paying attention to the entire Tianwu Continent. Any movement would attract his attention.
But so far, he did not notice anything unusual. In terms of his own calamity, he did not sense any signs of an early arrival.
At this moment, Xiao Shi suddenly felt his control over the Tianwu Continent decrease for some reason. When he reached the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, he already had control over the entire Tianwu Continent. This decrease in control had happened once before when the Martial Emperor broke through to the ninth realm.
This was because after two ninth-stage martial artists appeared on the Tianwu Continent at the same time, their control over the Tianwu Continent was divided. And now, the same situation actually happened again.
This also meant that the ninth realm of the Martial Dao other than him had appeared in the Tianwu Continent! Not only that, Xiao Shi had just felt that his control over the Tianwu Continent had decreased by half. In the next second, it had decreased by another half.
