Chapter 787: Altar (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Shi could clearly feel that the heart in his body had fused deeper with him. After his heart beat crazily, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of his heart. He landed in front of Xiao Shi and turned into a black shadow.

When Xiao Shi’s gaze focused on the black shadow, he could clearly sense the aura of the evil ghost, red tiger, dream witch, and mountain god. It was like a combination of four lineages. “Is this the Four Symbols Mysteries of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?”

Xiao Shi’s eyes flashed. He seemed to be deep in thought. It was as he had guessed. The Four Symbols Mysteries was like a key that was mainly used to open the most mysterious altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

Only the leader of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect have the ability to see through the Four Symbols Mysteries. After all, the Four Symbols Mysteries had always been hidden in the heart of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

Apart from removing the seal on his heart, there was no other way to obtain the Four Symbols Mysteries.

After Xiao Shi saw the shadow in front of him, he also understood in his heart that as long as he condensed the shadow on his body, he could use the shadow to open the entrance to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s altar.

But before that, he had to seriously think about a major problem he was about to face. As he did not have a specific understanding of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s altar and did not know the situation there, he could not predict how long he would stay there.

If he stayed for too long, he was worried that by the time he came out, his domain would probably have been destroyed. After all, this trip to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was different from the last time he entered the Beginner Martial Era. The time flow in the Beginner Martial Era was completely different from that in the Tianwu Continent.

Even though Xiao Shi had spent 300 years there, time on the Tianwu Continent’s side was also frozen. There were no changes. However, the altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would not freeze time.

Once Xiao Shi stayed there for too long, his domain would definitely be in danger. Even with the Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation formed by the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, it was not safe.

Xiao Shi was mainly wary of the three demigod Heavenly Kings before this. Therefore, as long as he maintained the operation of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation, he did not have to worry about his domain being in danger.

This time, he was facing a mysterious expert who could even kill Heavenly King Yao Xi. The Nine-Dragons Heavenly Formation alone was clearly not reliable. If his domain was already destroyed by the time he came out, he still couldn’t change anything even if he broke through to become a demigod.

Moreover, the factions under Xiao Shi’s control, be it the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect or the Heavenly Mystery Palace, used his domain as their headquarters.

The people Xiao Shi cared about were all in his domain. Therefore, no matter what the reason was, he had to prioritize the safety of his domain.

“Since even the Nine-Dragons Heavenly Formation is not safe, there’s only one way.” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with determination. Ever since he obtained the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, he had been using the Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation as the protection of his domain.

However, the effect of the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe was actually not only limited to the Nine-Dragons Heavenly Formation.

The Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe had a total of two forms. Apart from the protective form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Array, there was also a combat form. After activating his combat form, Xiao Shi could fuse his domain into his body and fight with it. However, he had never used this form.

There were two major drawbacks to this form.

Firstly, after he fused his domain into his body, his domain would disappear from the Tianwu Continent. The territory that originally belonged to his domain would definitely be occupied by the three demigod heavenly kings. This territory would become a part of the three demigod heavenly kings’ domains.

At that time, it would not be so easy for him to take back this territory.

And once there was no territory, Xiao Shi was unable to release his domain from his body because there was no space in the Tianwu Continent that could accommodate his domain. At that time, he could only maintain the domain in his body.

If the domain was in his body and the situation outside was the same, it would not affect him much. However, the second drawback of fusing a domain into his body was that he would have to bear the huge burden brought about by the domain at every moment.

And this was under the condition that his body was much stronger than ordinary people. Even if ordinary people had the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, they did not have a strong enough body to support their domain. Moreover, the burden brought about by the body’s accommodating domain was not the greatest drawback.

The greatest drawback was that after Xiao Shi fused his domain into his body, everyone in the domain would fall into a deep sleep. In their slumber, all their strength would be controlled by Xiao Shi.

This allowed Xiao Shi to turn his domain and everyone in it into his strongest combat strength to the greatest extent. This was also the strength of the combat form of the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe.
