Chapter 786: Backlash of the Heavenly Dao (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Although he had seen through the secrets of Xiao Shi’s Heavenly Dao, he did not discover that his Heavenly Dao actually contained the power of the ninth realm of the Martial Dao.

Of course, Xiao Shi could not use this power himself. It was more like a power that was attached to his Heavenly Dao and would automatically protect it.

Whoosh!

Under the burning of many black flames, the body of the prince had already turned into ashes under the flames. There was no corpse left. Even the soul in his body was burned and turned to ashes.

On the golden altar, the figure covered in a black cloak stared at the Dao River above in confusion and shock. He seemed to have turned into a statue and he did not move. A loud explosion sounded in his mind. His thoughts were in a mess. His entire mind went blank. He was completely dumbfounded! “How is this possible… How is this possible!!” He kept letting out unconscious low roars.

The sound grew louder. The body under the black cloak began to tremble. He had never expected such an outcome! From the beginning to the end, he didn t even suspect that the prince would fail.

He originally thought that it was a sure bet, that the other party would break Xiao Shi’s Heavenly Dao. In the end, it was not only a failure, he was reduced to ashes under the backlash of the other party’s Heavenly Dao.

Going for wool and coming home shorn!

Such an outcome was completely unacceptable to the mysterious person in the black cloak. He had even killed Demigod Yao Xi, one of the strongest demigods in the world. In the end, he could not do anything to Xiao Shi, a Daolord. He was even killed by the other party.

“What… is this Heavenly Dao!!” The black-robed man was already filled with intense fear of Xiao Shi’s Heavenly Dao. The anxiety in his heart became even more intense. Originally, he had brought his plan forward because Xiao Shi had suddenly become a Daolord and exceeded his expectations. He was worried that if Xiao Shi continued to grow at this speed, he would completely lose control.

Now that he had witnessed the unusualness of Xiao Shi¹ s Heavenly Dao, the black-robed man’s intention to get rid of Xiao Shi had reached an unprecedented level. “I can’t delay any longer! I can’t delay for even a day! I have to kill him as soon as possible!”

Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn. He did not feel happy that the prince had been reduced to ashes by the backlash of his Heavenly Dao. As the other party died, he sensed two things.

Firstly, the death of the prince did not drop any items. There were only two possibilities for such a situation to happen. The first was that the backlash that the prince suffered this time was not caused by Xiao Shi himself. Therefore, no items dropped. But Xiao Shi felt that the possibility was not high. Be it dying from the backlash of the Heavenly Dao or being killed by him using the Heavenly Dao, it was actually the same. They were all killed by him. So it would definitely drop items. Now that not a single item had dropped, there was only another possibility.

“This person… isn’t dead!!” Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered coldly. One thing was certain. The body of the prince and the soul in his body were all reduced to ashes by the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. It was impossible for him to fake his death.

If the other party was still alive, that meant that the one who died this time was only a remnant soul or a clone of the other party. His crisis was not resolved because of the failure of the prince.

On the contrary, there was something else he sensed. An extremely intense warning of danger suddenly came from the Heavenly Mystery Disc. However, the warning of danger from the Heavenly Mystery Disc this time was different from before. It did not let Xiao Shi see the dangerous scene in the future through the crisis warning.

He guessed two reasons.

The first was that the crisis he was about to face had already exceeded the prediction of the Heavenly Mystery Disc. Although the Heavenly Mystery Disc was an extremely powerful treasure, the danger Xiao Shi was about to face was most likely above the demigod level.

Currently, demigods weren’t a threat to him. Even the Heavenly Mystery Disc could at most give a warning of danger and could not predict the future for a crisis of this level.

Secondly, the crisis he would face next was not an immediate crisis that would happen in a short period of time. There might still be some time before the crisis arrives. However, the crisis this time was stronger than any crisis he had encountered in the past.

“I don’t have much time.” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. Through this incident, he was almost certain that there were still some experts hidden in the Tianwu Continent. He even suspected that there might be a ninth-stage martial artist hidden in the current Tianwu Continent.

Be it the death of Demigod Yao Xi, or the prince who wanted to crack his Heavenly Dao this time, these weren’t things that ordinary demigods could do.

What Xiao Shi could not understand was, if the person hiding behind the scenes was really an existence at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, why hide, when the other party was already the strongest in the world and could already suppress three demigod Heavenly Kings?

Moreover, everyone who reached the ninth realm of the martial dao would definitely create an era immediately to prevent a second ninth realm from appearing. If the mastermind was really at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, his actions were unreasonable.

Xiao Shi could not help but eliminate the possibility that the person behind the scenes was at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. But he similarly could not explain how the other party could kill Demigod Yao Xi, or how he could use the body of the prince to crack his Heavenly Dao.

He felt that there must be some important information that he did not know. He also realized that this might involve the deepest secret of the Tianwu Continent. No matter what, my top priority is to break through to the demigod level as soon as possible.

“Only by becoming a demigod can I have the ability to protect myself!’ Xiao Shi had a feeling that a storm was coming. He could only wait for this storm to arrive. So he had to become a demigod as soon as possible!

This time, the prince’s crack of Xiao Shi’s Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao had also attracted the attention of Demigod Xingkui and Demigod Mu Wen. But due to the distance, they could only see a figure rushing into the Dao River. They could not see the figure’s appearance clearly.

Because the entire process was too short, although they were a little shocked, they did not pay much attention to this matter.

The death of Demigod Yao Xi had a huge impact on them. As a result, these two demigods, who had been invincible since the Martial Emperor’s death, felt a strong sense of danger for the first time.

With their understanding of the Tianwu Continent, they clearly knew more secrets than Xiao Shi. They had some guesses about the death of Demigod Yao Xi. This made the two demigod Heavenly Kings determined not to take another step out of their domains after returning to their respective domains.

Even when the region fell apart after the death of Demigod Yao Xi, the two demigod Heavenly Kings no longer had any thoughts of snatching the region. If it was any other day, they would definitely snatch the domain to expand their domain. But now, when they felt the danger, they would not take a step out of their domains, no matter what. Only by staying in their own domain could they feel safe.

Two days later, Xiao Shi finally succeeded in removing the seal on his heart after some effort. Bang bang! Bang bang!

A dull thud suddenly sounded in his ears. The drum-like sound kept ringing, becoming more and more intense. The heart in his chest beat crazily like an overloaded motor, and at the same time, it produced a tearing pain.

Xiao Shi covered his chest and could see the visible rise and fall of his entire chest. It was as if something was about to break through his flesh and jump out. His skin quickly turned pitch-black, and black blood vessels protruded from his pupils.
