But soon, his clenched fists relaxed. Since he had already locked onto the other party’s location, the outcome would still not change as long as he killed it and took away the rules of heaven and earth.
Even though Xiao Shi had now advanced to a demigod, he was only a newly- advanced demigod in the black-robed man’s eyes. He wasn’t afraid of such a demigod at all. He was completely confident that he could kill him.
Thinking of this, the black-robed man sped up again. It rushed towards Xiao Shi at an even faster speed.
just as Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen were shocked, just as the black-robed man rushed towards Xiao Shi, the vortex that was connected to the sky let out an even more magnificent bang at this moment. Its range suddenly expanded by more than a hundred times.
Amidst the rumbling, almost half of the sky turned into a vortex. Countless lightning swam inside and countless heavenly lightning exploded. The aura fluctuation of Xiao Shi’s breakthrough spread throughout the Tianwu
Continent as the vortex spread.
This huge commotion was no longer only noticed by the demigods in the Tianwu Continent. Even the martial artists of other cultivation levels felt the abnormality in the entire world.
Xiao Shi, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of all the fluctuations, was trembling. In the endless darkness, many black lines were constantly fusing with his body.
There were a total of two steps for a Daolord to become a demigod. The first step was the invisible barrier from before. This barrier was like a ravine in the sky, blocking all the Daolords who did not have sufficient aptitude and conditions. Moreover, every failure would affect his foundation. Once he exceeded a certain number of times, there would be no hope.
The second step was the fusion of the rules of heaven and earth.
This step seemed easy, but it was not. This fusion of the rules of heaven and earth would not only fuse with his body, but also with the cultivation techniques, abilities, killing moves, and so on that he had grasped in his life.
Depending on the cultivation technique, the degree of fusion would also be different. Once any cultivation technique or ability failed to successfully fuse with the rules of heaven and earth, all his previous efforts would be wasted and he would completely fail.
At this moment, Xiao Shi had already begun the fusion. The stars representing the Slaughter Dao in the Dao River in his body were dissipating bit by bit. When the star that represented the entire Slaughter Dao completely dissipated, Xiao Shi’s low roar came from the huge vortex. There was a dragon roar mixed in with this roar.
It directly blasted into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds. An incomparably huge black dragon soared into the sky with the vortex and fused into the rules of the world. The vortex in the sky suddenly erupted at an unimaginable speed under this huge roar. As it continued to spread, the sky seemed to be lifted by someone and covered the entire Tianwu Continent.
At this moment, everyone on the Tianwu Continent, no matter what they were doing, could not help but tremble. It was as if a pressure that made their souls tremble had descended as the vortex spread.
This made the expressions of the demigods change. They never expected the commotion from the other party’s advancement to a demigod to be so huge. It had already far exceeded the scene when they advanced to the demigod level. Usually, the greater the commotion, it often meant that the recognition of the world was higher. With the current commotion, this clearly showed that Xiao Shi’s Heaven and Earth Rules had received extremely high recognition.
This made the two demigod Heavenly Kings’ hearts turn solemn. Although they weren’t sure if the person who had advanced to the demigod level was the ruler of the Fifth Domain, this person must be a powerful enemy.
On the other side, the black-robed man, who was rushing towards Xiao Shi at an extremely fast speed, turned solemn when he saw this scene. The killing intent in his eyes became even stronger.
Soon, he arrived at the altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. This was a desolate mountainous area. There was nothing around him. However, the black-robed man’s gaze locked onto the void in front of him. His gaze darkened. “So he’s been hiding here all along!”
The black-robed man waved his hand. The void in front of him immediately rippled like water, revealing a sealed entrance. The black-robed man opened his hand and aimed his palm at the sealed entrance. “Open!”
There was a low growl. A dark brown power immediately spewed out from his palm. It landed heavily on the entire sealed entrance. As a result, the entrance in front of him let out a series of cracking sounds that made one’s teeth ache and gradually opened.
However, the black-robed man frowned. He had originally thought that he could rely on his own strength to open this entrance in an instant. But he realized that even with his demigod strength, he could only slowly open the entrance.
It would obviously take some time to completely open it.
The black-robed man could only try his best to speed up.
Xiao Shi’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. The moment he opened his eyes, the terrifying vortex immediately gathered and fused into his body. I ve finally… broken through!”
Xiao Shi raised his right hand and waved. His entire body shone. He felt as if he had become a part of the rules. A majestic cultivation power that was far from what the Daolord could compare to erupted from his body. Booming sounds were like a storm. His hair moved even though there was no wind. An unprecedented feeling of power kept rising in his heart.
The transformation from a Daolord to a demigod made him feel as if he had been reborn. Countless black threads gathered at his glabella, forming a complicated and profound mark.
This was his Slaughter Seal!
The rule he formed this time was the Rule of Slaughter. This powerful feeling that spread throughout his body made Xiao Shi feel that if he fought a demigod like Xingkui now, even if he was facing the entire cosmos that Demigod Xingjui had conjured back then, he could also easily crack it.
He finally understood why there was such a shocking difference between a Daolord and a demigod. When everything about him fused with the rules of heaven and earth, all his attacks would carry the power of the natural order.
Fighting against him, to a certain extent, was as if he was resisting the rules of this world.
After Xiao Shi successfully broke through to the demigod level, he immediately sensed a black-robed man outside trying to open the entrance to the altar.
The demigod cultivation emitted from the other party. This person was most likely the demigod who was hiding behind the Tianwu Continent and had never appeared. He was suspected to be the Martial Emperor.
“He came quite quickly.” The corners of Xiao Shi’s mouth curled up slightly. The breakthrough in his cultivation made him eager to find a demigod to fight.
Swoosh! Xiao Shi’s figure instantly disappeared from the altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
The black-robed man was trying his best to open the entrance to the altar. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He instantly retreated. However, just as he moved, a huge fist shadow flashed and whistled out from the entrance in front of him.
It was so fast that the black-robed man could only raise his palm and push it forward. He built a bronze barrier three meters tall and three meters long in front of him to resist.
Boom!! A thunderous explosion sounded. The entire brass-colored barrier exploded. The black-robed man’s figure was like a rapidly falling meteor as he fell from the sky and smashed fiercely onto the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble violently. A huge pit exploded, and dust flew everywhere. “You don’t have to worry about coming in. I’ll come out and play with you.” Xiao Shi floated in the sky. He looked down coldly at the dust that filled the sky.
