411: Opening up new areas

Originally, Xiao Shi's domain was unlike ordinary domains; it was the strongest domain created by the Martial Ancestor.

Now, as he became a Dao Master, under the baptism of the Heavenly Dao, the entire domain instantly became even more astonishing.

Moreover, within the domain, there was not only the secret protection of the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, Xiao Shi could clearly feel that his Dao of Slaughter would be manifested to its greatest extent here.

This even gave him a feeling... if he were to fight within his own domain, he might truly be able to contend with a demigod!

Not only that.

As the domain expanded.

Xiao Shi felt that he could entirely try to establish new areas within the domain, similar to the areas of other eras like the Martial Corpse Era and the Nether Moon Era.

The biggest difference in his domain was that it contained areas from five other eras.

This allowed the martial artists within his domain to cultivate the systems of those other eras.

Of course, Xiao Shi himself could also utilize the power of these eras.

Now, with the expansion of the domain.

Xiao Shi could fully continue to establish new areas.

It just so happened that this time in The Primordial Martial Era, he had acquired the power of the Scorching Sun Era.

He pondered that he might be able to establish a sixth area representing the Scorching Sun Era.

This way, his domain would simultaneously possess areas from the three eras of the sun, moon, and stars.

Besides this.

Xiao Shi could also establish a seventh area representing The Primordial Martial Era.

He even felt that if he established an area for The Primordial Martial Era, he might be able to contact the Martial Ancestor and Dao Ancestor within The Primordial Martial Era through this area, and perhaps even receive their support.

At the same time, he could also establish an area for the era of the silver-haired, silver-eyed Dao Master.

This way, his domain would have areas from eight different eras.

By then, his combat power would continue to receive an even greater boost!

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi did not hesitate.

He immediately began to establish and open up new areas within his domain.

At the same time.

As Xiao Shi returned from The Primordial Martial Era.

Although less than a second had passed on the Tianwu Continent.

The three demigod Heavenly Kings on the Tianwu Continent noticed an anomaly at the same moment!

"This is..."

They simultaneously looked up at the sky.

The sky that appeared in their vision was vastly different from the sky seen by ordinary people.

The sky seen by the three demigod Heavenly Kings was a brilliant Dao River.

Throughout the Dao River, tiny, bean-sized dao stars were densely scattered.

Usually, the Dao River in each era could only be seen by others in that era after the era's ruler activated it.

But after the Martial Ancestor's fall.

The Dao River of the Great Martial Era had always been visible in the sky, without needing to be specially activated.

Of course.

Only beings who had reached the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao could see the Dao River.

For ordinary martial artists below the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao.

They could not see the Dao River at all.

And these three demigod Heavenly Kings were extremely familiar with the Dao River of the Tianwu Continent.

After all, they only needed to look up to see the many dao stars in the Dao River above.

At the same time, as the strongest beings on the Tianwu Continent today.

They had always paid close attention to the Dao of the current Tianwu Continent.

They clearly knew how many dao stars existed in the Dao River of the Tianwu Continent in total.

However, at this moment, they were shocked to see... that in the entire Dao River of the Tianwu Continent.

Suddenly, many dao stars appeared out of thin air!

"These... Where did these dao stars come from!!!"

All three demigod Heavenly Kings were stunned.

Especially when they saw.

These dao stars that appeared out of thin air all emitted bright, dazzling light.

They were even more brilliant and striking than the other dao stars.

And what shocked their minds even more.

Was that these dao stars that appeared out of thin air all emitted an extremely ancient aura.

"This is..."

"Ancient Dao!!!"

The three demigod Heavenly Kings exclaimed in unison.

Their eyes were all wide open.

They had not been so flustered in many years.

The appearance of these Ancient Dao was simply too horrifying.

They knew deeply.

Usually, when an era collapses, once the Dao Master of that era falls, then the Dao of these Dao Masters will be completely destroyed.

For example, Cheng Riyou, the Pavilion Master of Martial Pavilion, who was killed by Xiao Shi earlier.

After his death.

His Dao was directly destroyed.

It was not preserved.

Only when an era is strong and intact, and a Dao Master within the era falls, can his Dao be preserved and become a masterless Dao.

At this time, the other Saints have the opportunity to contend for these masterless Dao, thereby advancing to Dao Master.

This is also the most common way for Saints to advance to Dao Master on the Tianwu Continent.

Therefore, the Dao that Xiao Shi saw in The Primordial Martial Era can no longer be seen in the current Tianwu Continent.

Usually, a Dao that can last two or three eras is already an extremely extraordinary Ancient Dao.

Most Dao will be destroyed when an era collapses, due to the death of the Dao Master.

But now, extremely ancient Ancient Dao have appeared!

And they appeared suddenly without any warning.

This greatly shocked the three demigod Heavenly Kings.

Even with their extensive knowledge.

They could not explain this phenomenon.

Their minds were completely blank.

However, this was just the appetizer... After all, what they saw at first glance were only the lower-level The Mortal Dao at the bottom of the Dao River.

As their gaze moved upwards.

When they saw the Heavenly Dao at the top of the Dao River.

In the minds of the three demigod Heavenly Kings, it was as if a hundred thousand thunderbolts exploded simultaneously!

Causing their bodies to tremble.

"Heaven... Heavenly Dao!!!"

Their expressions were incredibly horrified, and the muscles around their eyes twitched uncontrollably.

If someone familiar with the three demigod Heavenly Kings saw this scene, they would undoubtedly find it unbelievable.

Such expressions... logically should not appear on the faces of the three demigod Heavenly Kings.

But at this moment, the hearts of these three demigod Heavenly Kings were all stirred by monstrous waves, causing their expressions to completely lose control.

Since the fall of the Martial Ancestor.

The entire Tianwu Continent had no Heavenly Dao.

According to common sense.

Before a new Martial Dao Ninth Realm supreme expert is born on the Tianwu Continent, and before a new era is formed, no Heavenly Dao will appear.

But now, a Heavenly Dao had appeared out of nowhere on the Tianwu Continent!

And this Heavenly Dao... was an Ancient Heavenly Dao from an ancient era!

The impact this brought to the three demigod Heavenly Kings was immensely strong.

They felt a great subversion of their understanding.

This was not the first time they had witnessed the Heavenly Dao.

But now they felt that the Heavenly Dao appearing at the very top of the Dao River was vastly different from the Heavenly Dao belonging to the Martial Ancestor they had seen before.

This difference was not only reflected in the difference in Dao.

But even though they were both Heavenly Dao, they felt that the Heavenly Dao that had appeared now was more advanced than the Martial Ancestor's Heavenly Dao of the past!

It was just that the starlight enveloping and surrounding the Heavenly Dao, swirling around it, prevented them from penetrating it to clearly see this star of heavenly dao.

They could only feel the power of this star of heavenly dao.

"Why did an Ancient Heavenly Dao suddenly appear?"

"And it's... an Ancient Heavenly Dao that has already been taken control of?"

The three demigod Heavenly Kings were completely puzzled.

The only explanation they could think of was... that someone from another era had come to the current Tianwu Continent.

But normally, no matter which era it was, there had never been a means to travel to the future.

Even the supreme experts of the Martial Dao Ninth Realm could not achieve this.

"No matter what."

"The top priority is to first find the person who controls the Heavenly Dao; I believe that once this person is found, everything will become clear."

The three demigod Heavenly Kings all had the same thought.

But they had just conceived this thought.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, they perceived Xiao Shi's Fifth Domain.

Ever since the Fifth Domain appeared on the Tianwu Continent, they had been continuously monitoring it.

Any unusual movement or anomaly in the Fifth Domain would be noticed by them immediately.

Now, the expansion of the Fifth Domain, and the rising starlight swirling around it, instantly drew their high attention.

Through the swirling starlight, they recognized at a glance that these lights were exactly the same as the starlight swirling around the star of heavenly dao above the Dao River!

This struck them like lightning, and they instantly knew who controlled the Heavenly Dao.

But in their hearts, they still felt it was a bit too absurd.

The master of this Fifth Domain had just become a Saint... how did he suddenly become a Dao Master?

And he even controlled an Ancient Heavenly Dao!

In an instant.

A sense of solemnity arose in the hearts of these three demigod Heavenly Kings.

Before this.

They completely looked down on the master of this Fifth Domain.

They regarded him as an ant.

They had never acknowledged that this person could be ranked alongside them as a Heavenly King.

Even if this person successfully controlled the Fifth Domain, in their eyes, he was ultimately just a Saint.

Especially since he was confined within the Fifth Domain by them, not daring to step out of it.

In their view.

Even if this person possessed excellent talent, without being able to leave the Fifth Domain, he was destined to remain a Saint for life.

There would be no greater room or opportunity for advancement.

Such a Saint could be crushed by them with a mere flick of a finger.

Naturally, he was not worth their attention.

But now... with Xiao Shi's advancement to Dao Master, and in such a mysterious and inexplicable way, they could no longer view the master of this Fifth Domain with the eyes of an ant!

...When Xiao Shi successfully opened up the area corresponding to The Primordial Martial Era.

He immediately tried to contact the Martial Ancestor through the power of The Primordial Martial Era.

Although The Primordial Martial Era and the current Tianwu Continent were not in the same space-time.

Xiao Shi pondered that the power of the same era might be able to resonate, allowing him to establish contact with the Martial Ancestor in The Primordial Martial Era.

This was an idea that flashed through his mind when he left The Primordial Martial Era.

Since The Primordial Martial Era would no longer be reset, its time would also remain consistent with the time of the Tianwu Continent.

However, to establish such contact, Xiao Shi's main body could not do it.

Only the Dao Master clone that cultivated the power system of The Primordial Martial Era could implement it.

So Xiao Shi tried to contact the Martial Ancestor through this clone.

Buzz!

Soon.

After several attempts, his clone successfully contacted the Martial Ancestor.

They could transmit messages to each other using the power of The Primordial Martial Era as a hub.

However, this transmission seemed a bit blurry and not very clear.

It gave Xiao Shi a feeling of bad signal, like in his previous life.

Nevertheless, in his conversation with the Martial Ancestor, he could tell that the Martial Ancestor was very amazed by his method of transmitting messages and conversing.

At the same time, the Martial Ancestor indicated that if Xiao Shi could try to establish a channel... perhaps the Martial Ancestor could transmit power to him from The Primordial Martial Era, further strengthening his domain.

However, the establishment of such a channel was extremely complex, and it involved issues of space-time.

Xiao Shi would need to spend a considerable amount of time studying it.

Although it would require a lot of time and effort.

Xiao Shi was willing to study it.

He knew that once such a channel was successfully formed.

Then, even if the Martial Ancestor could not come to the Tianwu Continent, he could still provide him with significant assistance.

This was the aid of a Martial Dao Ninth Realm expert!

No matter what.

He had to try to establish such a channel.

And so.

Xiao Shi made a division of labor.

His main body continued to open up the other two areas.

His clone, on the other hand, focused on researching the channel.

When he successfully completed the opening of three areas, so that his domain had areas from eight different eras.

Xiao Shi could clearly feel the enhancement brought by the domain.

At the same time, he could also give his martial artists within the domain more choices in their cultivation.

Although cultivating the systems of these eras could not give birth to more Dao Masters.

However, cultivating to the Saint realm was not difficult.

At least in terms of difficulty.

It was much lower than the difficulty of cultivating to the Saint realm on the current Tianwu Continent.

After all, the areas within the Tianwu Continent were limited, making it impossible for so many Saints to be born.

And Saints were equally crucial for any domain.

Xiao Shi felt that if this continued.

His domain would definitely comprehensively surpass the great domains of the three demigod Heavenly Kings.

"Next, it's the opening of the last area of the Tianji Hall!"

Xiao Shi's eyes burned with fervor.

Because he could not enter the Tianji Hall when he was in The Primordial Martial Era, he had not proceeded with the opening of the last area of the Tianji Hall after becoming a Dao Master.

Until now, returning to the Tianwu Continent.

He eagerly wanted to proceed with the opening of the last area of the Tianji Hall.

Whoosh!

He flipped his hand.

The black heavenly secret mask appeared in his hand, and the moment he put on the heavenly secret mask.

Xiao Shi directly entered the Tianji Hall, appearing inside the dark, vast hall.

The Tianji Hall contained a total of four areas.

Before this.

Xiao Shi had already opened three areas consecutively.

Now, only the last area representing the heavenly secret box remained.

Once this area was opened, Xiao Shi could form the heavenly secret box through the Tianji Hall!
