379: What do you want to do!

“The Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect… as expected, is not as simple as it appears on the surface.”

Xiao Shi felt the integration of the heart.

It was obvious.

Besides the different abilities possessed by its Four Branches, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect also contained deeper things.

However, he could only access these deeper things after the heart was completely integrated.

This would take some time.

At this point, the initial integration of the heart not only granted Xiao Shi the Four Vein Power of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect but also gave him powerful control over the sect’s members.

He discovered.

He seemed to be able to use this control to directly transfer the areas belonging to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect within the Great Wu Dynasty to his own domain.

It wasn’t just the area belonging to Chen Yuan.

Other saintly areas of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, including Xiang Zizhen’s Nan Dou Region, could also be transferred together.

This greatly shocked Xiao Shi.

This meant he could directly strip areas belonging to the Imperial Domain from the Imperial Domain itself!

These areas would no longer belong to the Imperial Domain thereafter.

Such an ability… even the spatial traversal of the heavens secret mask couldn’t achieve this.

After all, the spatial traversal of the heavens secret mask could only take people away, not the areas of these saints.

Once these areas were stripped from the Imperial Domain and integrated into his own domain, Xiao Shi’s Fifth Domain would expand to a certain extent.

At the same time, it would bring a greater enhancement to Xiao Shi’s Fifth Domain!

Meanwhile.

The several saints from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect who had been fighting the Crimson Refining Corpses and Evil Energy Users summoned by Xiao Shi had now stopped fighting with Chen Yuan’s final resistance.

These saints from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect were all Chen Yuan’s disciples.

Previously, like Chen Yuan.

They were all unable to disobey the Great Wu Crown Prince’s orders.

Therefore, they had no choice but to act.

But with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect having a new sect leader.

And Xiao Shi had also erased the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s loyalty to the Great Wu Dynasty, which meant these members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect no longer had to obey the Great Wu Crown Prince.

Now, they all expressed their willingness to follow Xiao Shi, their new sect leader.

Over the years, the Great Wu Crown Prince’s suppression of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had left them with some resentment towards him, more or less.

However, due to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s loyalty to the Great Wu Dynasty, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only swallow their anger.

Now, upon learning that they could break away from the Great Wu Dynasty.

They did not hesitate at all.

They resolutely allowed themselves and their areas to be transferred by Xiao Shi into the Fifth Domain.

This kind of transfer was undoubtedly more convenient and faster than Xiao Shi’s spatial traversal through the heavens secret mask.

If he were to take all the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect through the heavens secret mask, on one hand, Xiao Shi would need every member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to join Tianji Hall. On the other hand, Xiao Shi would need to constantly travel to the areas where each member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was located.

Currently, he obviously did not have that much time and energy.

Fortunately, he could now perform large-scale transfers directly through his control of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

By doing so, he successfully transferred all the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, along with these saintly areas, into his own domain.

For a time.

With Chen Yuan’s demise and the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s departure.

The Great Wu Crown Prince clearly perceived a sharp drop in the entire Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny, causing the golden light around him to dim considerably.

“Damn it!!”

The Great Wu Crown Prince was furious.

The series of unforeseen changes that occurred were completely unexpected by him.

Although the immense crisis stemming from the petrified face had been resolved.

However, the Great Wu Crown Prince’s situation was still very unfavorable at this moment.

The Imperial Sword, previously condensed by Xiao Shi, continued to strike down at him, and now that the golden light around him had dimmed.

The distance between the descending Imperial Sword and him had once again significantly shortened.

“If this continues…”

“Even if I can withstand his Imperial Sword strike, the destiny of my Great Wu Dynasty will be completely exhausted!”

The Great Wu Crown Prince steeled his heart.

He knew that the current destiny of the Great Wu Dynasty could no longer withstand any consumption.

He immediately gathered all the remaining destiny of the Great Wu Dynasty into his body, causing his left eye to transform into a golden pupil.

The advantage of doing this was to minimize the loss of destiny.

Even if powerful individuals died in the Imperial Domain again, or areas were stripped away, the destiny that the Great Wu Crown Prince had gathered into his body would not decrease.

Because he had sealed all this destiny within his left eye to prevent its loss.

Unless the Great Wu Crown Prince was killed!

Only then would the destiny sealed within his left eye leak out.

At the same time, this method of sealing destiny could only be done by the Great Wu Crown Prince.

Because only his body as a Crown Prince could contain and seal the destiny of the Great Wu Dynasty.

An ordinary person’s body simply could not contain the destiny of an entire dynasty.

Even the three Demigod Heavenly Kings could not do it.

Usually, only the monarch of a dynasty, or his descendants, could contain a dynasty’s destiny.

However, for the Great Wu Crown Prince.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to seal this destiny within his left eye. While doing so could minimize the loss and reduction of destiny, it also carried significant hidden dangers and drawbacks.

Firstly, this would lead to the entire Imperial Domain no longer having any destiny blessing.

The various regions within the Imperial Domain would become fragmented, gradually being separated from the Imperial Domain and no longer belonging to it.

Not only that.

Without destiny, the rules and power within the Imperial Domain would also gradually dissipate.

At this moment, as the Great Wu Crown Prince sealed all the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny into his left eye.

Many statues of the Martial Emperor within the Martial Emperor Imperial City began to crack extensively with a series of clicking sounds.

Then, with a bang, they shattered and exploded.

Each shattered statue represented the dissipation of a rule and power within the Imperial Domain.

And the most fatal point was… without destiny, the Great Wu Dynasty would no longer have enough power to block the three Demigod Heavenly Kings outside!

The reason these three Demigod Heavenly Kings had been unable to enter the Imperial Domain all this time.

It was because under the destiny of the Great Wu Dynasty, the power of the Imperial Domain was too strong; even with their demigod cultivation, they could not force their way in.

The more destiny the Great Wu Dynasty possessed.

The stronger the power of the Imperial Domain would be.

Therefore, over the years, the most frequent action of the three Demigod Heavenly Kings was to try every possible means to reduce the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny.

Now, as the Great Wu Crown Prince sealed all the destiny into his left eye.

The three Demigod Heavenly Kings, who had been observing the Imperial Domain’s movements, immediately detected the changes in the Imperial Domain.

The most obvious change was that without destiny, the entire sky of the Great Wu Dynasty was no longer golden but had turned into a dim, lifeless, grayish-black sky.

The eyes of the three Demigod Heavenly Kings flashed simultaneously.

They instantly approached the Imperial Domain.

Just as they were about to enter.

However, there was still a barrier outside the Imperial Domain blocking them.

This caused the three Demigod Heavenly Kings to be obstructed and still unable to enter.

However, after carefully sensing the strength of the barrier outside the Imperial Domain, the three Demigod Heavenly Kings all clearly felt that the current barrier strength was much weaker than before.

Most importantly… these barriers would not receive any repair or replenishment.

In this way.

They would only need a few minutes to break through the barrier and enter the Imperial Domain.

This made the eyes of the three Demigod Heavenly Kings glow with fervor.

They began to fully break through the barrier… The Great Wu Crown Prince could clearly sense that the three Demigod Heavenly Kings had already begun to break through the outer barrier of the Imperial Domain.

Once they broke through the barrier and entered the Imperial Domain… the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, the Great Wu Crown Prince knew that as long as he held out for the next few minutes, and the Imperial Guard and Cheng Riyou recovered somewhat, the situation would naturally reverse.

Because these three Imperial Guards and Cheng Riyou had previously been drained by Chen Yuan, they now lacked sufficient power to suppress Xiao Shi.

But with their recovery ability… it wouldn’t be long.

Their power would recover to a level sufficient to suppress Xiao Shi.

At that time, they only needed to wait for them to suppress Xiao Shi.

The Great Wu Crown Prince could immediately release all the destiny sealed in his left eye.

In other words.

As long as he could suppress Xiao Shi before the three Demigod Heavenly Kings broke through the barrier and entered the Imperial Domain, everything would still be under his control.

Currently, the most important thing was to buy time for these four Dao Lords!

Although a temporary sealing of destiny would cause some damage to the Imperial Domain, it was not fatal.

The Great Wu Crown Prince could bear such a cost.

After transferring all the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, along with the domains of these saints, to his own domain.

Xiao Shi also noticed the Great Wu Crown Prince’s actions here.

This made him frown.

As the Great Wu Crown Prince sealed all the destiny into his left eye, the Imperial Sword previously condensed by Xiao Shi also dissipated.

After all, this Imperial Sword was mainly formed by the destiny of the Great Wu Dynasty and the power of the Imperial Domain.

Now that all this destiny had been sealed by the Great Wu Crown Prince.

Naturally, the Imperial Sword could no longer be maintained.

And without the Imperial Sword, Xiao Shi would find it difficult to kill the Great Wu Crown Prince.

He knew.

Under the protection of the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny, the effectiveness of his various offensive attacks would be greatly reduced.

It would certainly be impossible to kill the Great Wu Crown Prince in a short period of time.

And now, the most important thing was time!

After a moment of contemplation.

Xiao Shi decided to try communicating with the black coffin within his body.

“Can you lend me some strength?”

He conveyed a thought to the entity within the black coffin.

Now that he had integrated the heart of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, the entity within the black coffin had also gained some recovery.

However, Xiao Shi still couldn’t be sure if the entity within the black coffin could lend him power.

If not… perhaps he would only be able to try killing the Great Wu Crown Prince by self-destructing his clone.

After Xiao Shi’s thought was conveyed.

The black coffin within his body immediately vibrated.

The entire coffin lid slid open a tiny crack.

From this crack, a surge of power suddenly emanated, flowing into Xiao Shi’s body.

Xiao Shi’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

He carefully felt the power filling his body.

This was a cold, dark power.

It was a high-level power that Xiao Shi had never encountered before.

Since this power far exceeded Xiao Shi’s current realm, he was unable to discern its specific functions and abilities.

He could only feel… that this power had a certain time limit and could not last forever.

Even if he didn't use it, it would dissipate from his body after a certain period.

When Xiao Shi carefully felt this power.

Although he felt that this power was very strong and extraordinary.

However, relying on this power alone to kill the Great Wu Crown Prince was still a bit difficult.

Xiao Shi couldn’t help but fall into contemplation about this.

After a brief period of thought.

A sudden idea came to his mind.

“Perhaps… I can try!”

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi’s figure flashed.

He instantly appeared before the Great Wu Crown Prince.

He raised his hand.

His entire palm, with extreme speed, directly swept towards the Great Wu Crown Prince.

The Great Wu Crown Prince sneered at this, not even bothering to dodge.

“A dying struggle!”

He wasn't worried at all that Xiao Shi could harm him.

The reason he chose to seal the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny into his left eye.

On one hand, it was to prevent Xiao Shi from using the Imperial Sword against him.

On the other hand, it was to prevent the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny from continuing to be consumed.

Another reason was that with the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny protecting his body, let alone Xiao Shi, who was merely a saint, even a Dao Lord would not be able to kill him quickly.

And although Xiao Shi possessed the Martial Emperor’s aura.

He was ultimately not the Martial Emperor, nor was he the Martial Emperor’s descendant. Even if he could mobilize the Great Wu Dynasty’s destiny, he could not seal it within his body like the Great Wu Crown Prince.

In this way.

The Great Wu Crown Prince only needed to hold out until the power of the Dao Lords like Cheng Riyou recovered, allowing them to suppress Xiao Shi, and then he would be able to reverse the situation.

However, just as the Great Wu Crown Prince thought victory was assured.

Suddenly.

He saw a layer of black, viscous substance appear on Xiao Shi’s palm, which was reaching out to him, completely enveloping Xiao Shi’s entire hand, turning his palm completely black.

“This… this is!!”

The Great Wu Crown Prince’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He exclaimed in horror, losing his voice.

“It’s him!!

“This is his power!!”

“You… how could you possibly have his power!!”

“This is impossible!!”

He recognized the power emanating from Xiao Shi’s palm at a glance.

He also knew how powerful and terrifying this power was.

He panicked completely, immediately wanting to get away from Xiao Shi.

However, as Xiao Shi’s black palm approached, the Great Wu Crown Prince’s body became solidified.

Even with numerous Great Wu Dynasty destinies sealed within the Great Wu Crown Prince’s body.

The black power emanating from Xiao Shi’s palm could ignore these Great Wu Dynasty destinies, directly solidifying the Great Wu Crown Prince’s figure and rendering him immobile.

The Great Wu Crown Prince looked at the increasingly close black palm with a terrified expression.

Intense fear and danger caused his expression to change drastically, and his voice trembled and quivered.

“You… what do you want to do?!”

“You’ll find out soon.”

A dangerous smile played on Xiao Shi’s lips.

He knew that this power alone was not enough to kill the Great Wu Crown Prince.

Therefore, his goal.

Was not to kill.

But rather… *shhh!*

Xiao Shi’s right hand directly pierced the left eye of the great wu crown prince, forcefully digging into it.

He intended to dig out the left eye of the great wu crown prince, which contained numerous destinies of the Great Wu Dynasty!!
