405: Divide to Make

Xiao Shi discovered that it wasn't just the information related to the martial emperor mask that had changed; other Emperors Armors also showed similar changes.

They all had Exclusive Daos.

But Xiao Shi could only see the names of these Exclusive Daos, not their specific functions.

Evidently, only the Martial Emperor himself knew the Exclusive Dao of each piece of Emperors Armor.

Just as only Xiao Shi could see the Exclusive Dao of the Soul Plate.

"If I were to tamper with the Emperors Armor's exclusive nature..."

"If I change it to my exclusive item, perhaps I can see the Emperors Armor's Exclusive Dao."

The Emperors Armor had always been special to Xiao Shi.

It could bring him significant improvement, yet there was also a hidden danger.

Xiao Shi couldn't help but wonder if tampering with the Emperors Armor's exclusive nature would remove the hidden danger it posed.

"I don't need to tamper with all the Emperors Armors."

"I only need to tamper with one or two pieces..."

Xiao Shi pondered.

Among the six pieces of Emperors Armor he currently possessed, the most useful to him were undoubtedly the Martial Emperors Royal Robe and the martial emperors cloak.

The former was a crucial reliance for protecting his domain.

The latter could form clones, which would be more convenient for Xiao Shi's actions.

Xiao Shi felt he might consider tampering with these two pieces of Emperors Armor.

"The Martial Emperor Belt also seems worth considering..."

Xiao Shi knew well that the threat originally posed by the Emperors Armor mainly came from the Martial Emperor Belt.

Although the emperor soul within the Martial Emperor Belt had been sealed by the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree, Xiao Shi didn't know if a new emperor soul would appear inside the Martial Emperor Belt.

"If I were to tamper with three pieces of Emperors Armor, that might be too many, and I don't feel it's necessary..."

Xiao Shi shook his head.

After all, the number of exclusive items he could have was limited.

In his opinion, at most, he only needed to tamper with one or two pieces of Emperors Armor.

After some thought, Xiao Shi decided to first try tampering with the martial emperors cloak.

Although the Martial Emperors Royal Robe was also very useful, Xiao Shi had not brought it with him when he entered The Primordial Martial Era this time.

As for the Martial Emperor Belt, he could wait and see.

With that in mind, Xiao Shi immediately took out the martial emperors cloak and tried to tamper with it.

However, he discovered that while the martial emperors cloak could indeed be tampered with, it had a condition, similar to the reset state when modifying other items earlier.

But it didn't require sacrificing another piece of Emperors Armor.

Instead, it required sacrificing something intimately related to the Martial Emperor and of crucial importance, which could be the Martial Emperor's bloodline, life, or soul!

Clearly, under normal circumstances, to tamper with someone else's exclusive item, one would first have to eliminate the other party before being able to tamper with their exclusive item.

Even if the other party was already dead, a key item from their person was needed to tamper with their exclusive item.

Although Xiao Shi did not have the Martial Emperor's bloodline or life, the emperor soul previously sealed by the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree could be used for tampering with the martial emperors cloak.

However, this also made him realize that he could currently only tamper with one piece of Emperors Armor at most!

After all, he only had one emperor soul.

Immediately, as Xiao Shi tampered with the martial emperors cloak using the emperor soul, the entire martial emperors cloak instantly underwent new changes under the tampering!

Name: martial emperors cloak

Type: Cloak

Grade: Unlimited (depends on current realm)

Status: Personal Exclusive (II)

Description: Originally an exclusive item of the Martial Emperor, but under the tampering of the Exclusive Dao, it has become your exclusive item.

Note 1: The Martial Emperor Regalia is divided into eight components, each corresponding to a martial arts realm.

Note 2: Only the strongest in that martial arts realm can wear the Emperors Armor.

Note 3: The martial emperors cloak can condense and form a clone. The clone will inherit the main body's cultivation and realm, and will be controlled by the main body's will, essentially being identical to the main body. However, it will not possess the characteristics of a typical clone, and thus others will be unable to identify it as a clone.

Note 4: The main body can transfer damage it suffers to the clone, and the clone can also transfer damage to the main body. However, once the clone dies, it will take thirty days to form again.

Note 5: The clone can be detonated to unleash the strongest attack at the current realm.

Note 6: If the Martial Emperor Shoulder Armor can be collected and paired with it, there will be additional abilities and an enhancement of existing abilities.

Exclusive Dao: Divide and Conquer

Effect: At each realm of martial arts, a clone can be formed. The clone can inherit the main body's current cultivation and realm, and will be controlled by the main body's will, essentially being identical to the main body. However, it will not possess the characteristics of a typical clone, and thus others will be unable to identify it as a clone.

Note 1: The clone, like the main body, is an independent life form. Once it dies, it is a true death and cannot be resurrected.

Note 2: The clone can also choose not to inherit the main body's cultivation and realm, thereby cultivating a different system.

Note 3: Once a clone is formed, even if the main body dies, the clone can still survive.

...Indeed!

Xiao Shi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had already guessed beforehand that the Exclusive Dao of the martial emperors cloak was likely related to clones.

However, the clones formed by the Exclusive Dao of the martial emperors cloak were very different from the clones formed by its ordinary ability.

First, in terms of quantity, the clones formed by the Exclusive Dao of the martial emperors cloak would be more numerous than those formed by the ordinary ability.

For example, at Xiao Shi's current Dao Lord Realm, he could form a total of seven clones!

Secondly, the clones formed by the Exclusive Dao of the martial emperors cloak could not be resurrected after death.

But the advantage was that with these seven clones, it was like having seven extra lives!

Additionally, when forming these seven clones, Xiao Shi had two choices.

One was to form clones that inherited his current cultivation and realm.

The other was to form ordinary clones without any cultivation or realm.

The advantage of ordinary clones was that they could cultivate a system different from the main body.

For example, Xiao Shi's main body's martial arts system was primarily the mainstream system of the Great Martial Era.

Although he now possessed some powers from other eras, it was ultimately not the system of those other eras.

If he were to form ordinary clones without any cultivation or realm, he could use these ordinary clones to cultivate the systems of other eras.

If all the clones wielded a power system from a different era, then Xiao Shi's strength would undoubtedly be far greater than others at the same realm!

Of course, forming such clones also had a drawback: the issue of time!

To have these clones rise from the Entering Martial Realm all the way to the current Dao Lord Realm would certainly not be achievable in a short time.

However, Xiao Shi felt that The Primordial Martial Era, where he was currently located, was a good opportunity.

After all, he had three hundred years here!

For him, having these clones reach the Dao Lord Realm within three hundred years would certainly not be difficult.

The key was how to obtain the cultivation systems of other eras?

Given that Xiao Shi could currently form seven clones, he would need to cultivate seven different era systems simultaneously.

"In my domain, there are indeed five different era miniatures, which can allow five of the clones to cultivate the systems of these five eras."

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

Adding the system of The Primordial Martial Era, he would already have six different era systems.

For the last era, Xiao Shi thought he could find a way through the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord, believing that he could obtain the cultivation system of his era from him.

Thus, the seven different era systems would be accounted for.

Xiao Shi felt that his idea had high feasibility.

If successful, he would not only have seven lives but also be able to bring back seven Dao Lords when he left The Primordial Martial Era!

Counting his main body, that would be eight Dao Lords!

And they would be eight Dao Lords of different systems.

At that time... Xiao Shi really wanted to see if he could fight against a Half-God!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately began to transmit his voice to the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord through a jade slip.

However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord's entire mind was immersed in an immense fluctuation.

The moment Xiao Shi killed those four Half-Step Dao Lords, the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord clearly sensed that all the Fruits of Benevolence he had planted on them had shattered.

This made his breathing quicken.

In his disbelief, he was even more furious.

Although he had realized before that Xiao Shi was playing him, he had never expected Xiao Shi to be able to annihilate all four of them by himself!

One must know that these four were all Half-Step Dao Lords who had undergone multiple resets.

And Xiao Shi, as someone who had come to The Primordial Martial Era for the first time, and had been in The Primordial Martial Era for less than ten years... ended up single-handedly eliminating these four Half-Step Dao Lords!

Such a crazy event completely overturned his understanding.

It also caused him immense heartache.

After all, his Dao of Goodness primarily involved investing in and planting Fruits of Benevolence.

And he had invested in these Half-Step Dao Lords early on.

When they broke through to become Dao Lords, he would receive a return.

Now, with the harvest imminent, everything was ruined by Xiao Shi.

This caused the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord's hatred for Xiao Shi to surge instantly.

However, this hatred had just arisen when he suddenly felt a vast power spreading within his body.

This sudden power made him pause, his expression changing dramatically.

"This is..."

He was shocked to discover that this immense power originated from the Fruit of Benevolence he had planted on Xiao Shi.

As Xiao Shi now broke through to become a Dao Lord, this Fruit of Benevolence began to give him a return.

Numerous powers continuously surged out from the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord's body like a tide.

The sheer quantity of these powers brought the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord immense surprise.

Although he had anticipated that Xiao Shi would be different from others when he previously "invested" in him, he had not expected to receive such a huge return from Xiao Shi!

His face flushed red.

The hatred that had just arisen instantly vanished into thin air, utterly gone.

"Too much..."

"Too much!!"

He felt the abundant and surging power within his body, his mind greatly shaken.

He felt that the power he gained from Xiao Shi might be even greater than the harvest he would have received if those four Half-Step Dao Lords had broken through to become Dao Lords under normal circumstances!

This power was not only enough to support his advancement to the Upper Mortal Dao, but it even held the hope of allowing him to challenge the Heavenly Dao!

This left him with no dissatisfaction towards Xiao Shi whatsoever.

It was also at this moment that he received Xiao Shi's voice transmission.

Although he was puzzled by Xiao Shi's desire to understand the power system of his era, at this point, no matter what Xiao Shi said, he would agree.

With the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord's nod, Xiao Shi felt that he could now use the martial emperors cloak to form seven ordinary clones.

He was very much looking forward to using the next two hundred-plus years to make all seven of these clones Dao Lords!

However, just as he was about to use the martial emperors cloak to form clones, suddenly, a huge fissure directly appeared in the sky.

This fissure was a thousand feet in size, and after appearing, it abruptly opened and closed, transforming into an eye!

A cold and emotionless gaze emanated from this eye, suddenly looking down at Xiao Shi's figure.

At the same time, a second fissure, a third, a fourth... In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was densely covered with countless fissures. These fissures, the moment they appeared, immediately opened and closed, forming one eye after another!

All equally cold, equally emotionless, and all looking at Xiao Shi!

This scene was too sudden, without any premonition or sign for Xiao Shi.

However, the moment these eyes appeared, the tianji plate in the Tianji Hall had already issued an unprecedented crisis warning to him.

Although Xiao Shi could not do anything through the Tianji Hall in The Primordial Martial Era, the tianji plate was unaffected.

The sense of crisis conveyed by the tianji plate at this moment caused a scene to appear in his mind.

In the scene, the countless eyes in the sky simultaneously blinked, and with each blink, streaks of sword light directly flashed out from these eyes, transforming into long rainbows, rushing towards Xiao Shi with indescribable speed, leaving afterimages.

The sword light was so numerous it was uncountable!

One could only see the sky completely replaced by this sword light in that instant.

As they intersected and whistled, they seemed to form a sword net, and in a flash, they instantly pierced through Xiao Shi's body.

Even with Xiao Shi's current Dao Lord cultivation, he was completely powerless to resist before these sword lights.

He was instantly torn to shreds by these sword lights.

With a crack, the scene shattered.

Xiao Shi was drenched in cold sweat, feeling that he was facing the greatest crisis of his life at this moment!

At the same time, he also saw that the eyes in the sky had already begun to blink, just as he had seen in the vision earlier...
