The moment Xiao Shi broke the seal of the Emperor’s Equipment and escaped from the Emperor’s Shadow, He had already realized that it was too late for him to stop the Martial Emperor from killing DemiG.o.d Xingkui. The only thing he could do was to attack faster than the Martial Emperor and kill DemiG.o.d Xingkui first.
In any case, DemiG.o.d Xingkui’s death was inevitable. Instead of dying at the hands of the Martial Emperor, it was better for him to end him.
Xiao Shi had to take this life!
The current situation was already a little pa.s.sive for him. Once the situation developed according to the Martial Emperor’s plan, nothing would be able to reverse the situation as long as the Martial Emperor obtained DemiG.o.d Xingkui’s rules.
After all, Xiao Shi believed that he would definitely not be able to defeat the Martial Emperor in the compet.i.tion for the rules of heaven and earth.
Therefore, from the beginning, he had never thought of competing with the Martial Emperor for DemiG.o.d Xingkui’s Heaven and Earth Rules.
What he cared about was that he could obtain another demiG.o.d-level item after he kill DemiG.o.d Xingkui. This way, he had the conditions to advance to the ninth realm of the martial path with Tianwu’s Wish.
Therefore, Xiao Shi decisively chose to use the Eye of the Emperor Judgment to kill DemiG.o.d Xingkui from afar. When they entered this place where the origin of extermination was, they had left some methods on each other in order to avoid being divided by the Martial Emperor inside.
For example, in order to prevent them from being divided after entering this place, DemiG.o.d Xingkui buried a starlight in their bodies. Only with this starlight could DemiG.o.d Xingkui gather them together through his demiG.o.d – level treasures.
Similarly, Xiao Shi also took this opportunity to leave a taboo of the Eye of the Emperor Judgment in DemiG.o.d Xingkui and DemiG.o.d Mu Wen’s bodies. However, under normal circ.u.mstances, even if Xiao Shi used this taboo, it was not enough to pose any threat to the two demiG.o.ds.
This was also the reason why they agreed to let Xiao Shi leave behind the taboo. However, with DemiG.o.d Xingkui on the verge of death and not much life force left, the taboo in Xiao Shi’s body could kill DemiG.o.d Xingkui.
Xiao Shi did not have to worry that the Martial Emperor would see through his true intentions. In the eyes of the Martial Emperor, he would probably think that his actions were to compete with him for the rules of the world. This could also help him obtain the items that dropped, as well as… the demiG.o.d-level treasure on DemiG.o.d Xingkui.
When the Martial Emperor thought that Xiao Shi was going to compete with him for the Heaven and Earth Rules, all his energy would definitely be invested in the plundering of the Heaven and Earth Rules. At this moment, he definitely wouldn’t still think about obtaining spoils of war.
It was definitely a race against time to s.n.a.t.c.h the rules of the world.
This allowed Xiao Shi to not only successfully obtain the item dropped after killing DemiG.o.d Xingkui, but he also successfully obtained his demiG.o.d-level treasure.
Xiao Shi understood. This was equivalent to him and the Martial Emperor taking what they needed from DemiG.o.d Xingkui. The Martial Emperor had obtained the rules of heaven and earth he wanted. He had also obtained two demiG.o.d-level items. This was definitely profitable for Xiao Shi. After all, if things went according to the Martial Emperor’s plan, he wouldn’t gain anything.
Of course, the Martial Emperor didn’t lose out either. Everything he did was to obtain DemiG.o.d Xingkui’s Heaven and Earth Rules. But once the Martial Emperor obtained DemiG.o.d Xingkui’s Heaven and Earth Rules, he would possess four Heaven and Earth Rules at the same time.
Under such circ.u.mstances, he had no other way apart from advancing to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao.
Before that, Xiao Shi had thought about advancing to the ninth realm with the Slaughter Rule. This did not match his original plan. In the beginning, he wanted to turn his three Daos into three different rules and advance to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao while controlling the three rules.
However, many things in the world were often difficult to carry out accurately according to the plan. Something was bound to happen. If everything was going according to plan, it would be ridiculous.
It was impossible for him to turn the other two Daos into rules. The only thing he could do now was to turn his slaughter rules into the killing origin through the Tianwu’s Wish, and advance to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao to resist the Martial Emperor.
Under the descent of the will of the world, Xiao Shi once again felt the request transmitted by the will of the world— Sacrificing two demiG.o.d-level items!
So he sacrificed the demiG.o.d-level item dropped from killing DemiG.o.d Xingkui without any hesitation, as well as the demiG.o.d-level item that DemiG.o.d Xingkui himself had. As these two demiG.o.d-level items disappeared from Xiao Shi’s hands, a terrifying and shocking fluctuation immediately erupted from Xiao Shi’s body.
In an instant, the world changed!
The entire Tianwu Continent’s mountains, rivers, sky, all the living beings on the Tianwu Continent trembled violently. Countless dust was originally floating and motionless, but now, it was trembling and gathering towards Xiao Shi.
Before long, he was surrounded by dust and rubble. After this dust approached, it seemed to be attracted and slowly rotated around Xiao Shi. It kept spinning. As the signs of Xiao Shi’s breakthrough became stronger and stronger, the surroundings buzzed. More and more dust and ruins surged in from all directions, forming a vortex that became larger and larger.
In the end, the vortex was 30,000 meters wide. It was vast and majestic, and shook Heaven and Earth. As it rotated, a huge boom echoed out!
