415: Demigod Rules

At this moment, although Xiao Shi and Demigod Xing Kui were suspended above Moonfall Territory, the martial artists within Moonfall Territory could not see the scene of their battle.

After all, a battle of this level was beyond what ordinary martial artists could witness.

They could only feel terrifying power fluctuations, as if capable of destroying heaven and earth, filling the sky above Moonfall Territory.

As Xiao Shi stretched out his hands and gripped the starry sky spear, an indescribably loud bang erupted, deafening and shaking the surrounding land, causing the void to tremble and distort, as if the entire Moonfall Territory had rolled over.

Fortunately, Demigod Xing Kui prevented the power from spreading, thus not affecting others in Moonfall Territory.

Otherwise, just their clash at this level would have instantly destroyed most of Moonfall Territory!

Boom boom boom!

The numerous mirror images behind Xiao Shi, performing the same actions as him, instantly shattered and exploded the moment Xiao Shi gripped the starry sky spear.

They were completely unable to withstand the immense impact of the starry sky spear.

At the same time, the ice covering Xiao Shi's body also exploded, causing the ice giant he had transformed into to shatter directly under the impact of the starry sky spear, reverting to his original form.

Concurrently, the starry sky spear, which Xiao Shi had raised his hands to grasp, suddenly paused under his grip.

Visible cracks spread across the spear, and cracking sounds emanated from it.

This starry sky spear, which had seemed to possess world-shaking momentum, could not withstand Xiao Shi's grip, and after a few breaths, it shattered into pieces and collapsed with a loud bang!

As it collapsed, the spear's fragments transformed into countless stars and rolled back.

Xiao Shi's body, however, retreated continuously due to the recoil.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, his chest was deeply caved in, and his entire body seemed on the verge of collapse, with numerous cracks visible all over his body.

Especially a crack on his forehead, which extended downwards, covering his entire face, looking horrifying.

However, a smile appeared on Xiao Shi's cracked face.

"I told you."

"This level can't kill me."

Demigod Xing Kui's expression was grim, and the sharp light in his eyes was extreme.

Such a situation was unprecedented since he became a demigod.

He knew very well that given the gap between a demigod and a Dao Lord, a demigod killing a Dao Lord was effortless.

There had never been a Dao Lord who could withstand his attack and survive in his presence.

"No wonder he could so easily kill the Dao Lords under my command..."

"The Ancient Dao is indeed extraordinary!"

Demigod Xing Kui narrowed his eyes.

His cultivation circulated again, and an aura even more ferocious than before erupted from him.

Although the attack he had previously unleashed was powerful, it was merely a casual strike from him.

Now, as his cultivation circulated, the countless stars in the sky above shone brightly, their starlight even more dazzling than before, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime!

These endless stars, as they emanated from the sky, converged once again.

This time, it was at least ten times more massive than the previous starry sky spear, and the oppressive aura far surpassed that of the spear.

Under continuous condensation, it transformed into a dragon of starlight, thousands of feet in size, occupying more than half of the starry sky!

Roar!

This starlight dragon let out a huge roar, its eyes as bright as stars, radiating a compelling glow, and with an even more powerful momentum than the spear just now, it stirred the entire starry sky and swept towards Xiao Shi with a roaring charge.

Its speed was so fast that it arrived in an instant.

Just as it approached, before even touching Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi's body was already unable to withstand it and began to shatter.

However, there was no fear of death in Xiao Shi's eyes.

His goal had been achieved!

It even exceeded his expectations.

Demigod Xing Kui's second move gave him an even deeper understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

Boom!!

In an instant, Xiao Shi's body was crushed and exploded under the impact of the starlight dragon.

Demigod Xing Kui's brow was deeply furrowed.

He felt no joy at having eliminated this Dao Lord.

Instead, his heart felt heavy.

Through their battle, he had clearly felt the power of this Ancient Dao.

This made him greatly concerned about Xiao Shi's strength.

"Just a high-grade Mortal Dao possesses such strength; how strong will the Ancient Dao be?"

Demigod Xing Kui was not worried that Xiao Shi's current strength could threaten him.

No matter how powerful a Dao Lord, he could not contend with a demigod.

What he worried about was that once Xiao Shi became a demigod, his strength would inevitably reach an extremely terrifying level.

"No matter what, I must never let him become a demigod!" Demigod Xing Kui thought to himself.

Just then,

"Hmm?"

He suddenly sensed the death of another Dao Lord under his command.

And the death occurred in another territory.

Whoosh!

Demigod Xing Kui's figure flashed, and he immediately teleported to this territory, where he saw another Dao Lord from the Fifth Domain.

This person was a handsome young man with a star mark on his forehead.

He had already killed a Dao Lord under Demigod Xing Kui's command.

"You're seeking death!!" Demigod Xing Kui's eyes blazed with fury, and he attacked directly.

At the same time, a doubt had arisen in his heart.

He didn't quite understand the meaning of the Fifth Domain doing this.

Even if they managed to kill the Dao Lords under his command, they themselves wouldn't be able to escape.

In fact, in a situation where both sides' Dao Lords exchanged lives, Demigod Xing Kui's side would still profit.

So what was the meaning of such an exchange?

Demigod Xing Kui knew very well that the Fifth Domain would not do anything meaningless.

He could vaguely sense that there must be some intention he didn't know about!

...Meanwhile, it wasn't just Demigod Xing Kui's Great Domain that was attacked by the Fifth Domain's Dao Lords.

The Wood Plague Great Domain and Yaoxi Great Territory also experienced attacks from the Fifth Domain's Dao Lords.

These Dao Lords from the Fifth Domain all used the reason of competing for territory.

They appeared in the Great Domains of the three Demigod Heavenly Kings and launched their attacks.

Although under the secret blessing of the Heavenly Dao, the three Demigod Heavenly Kings could not detect these Dao Lords immediately, after these Dao Lords made their moves and killed, they all instantly arrived at the kill location to deal with these invading Dao Lords.

In front of the three Demigod Heavenly Kings, even if these Dao Lords were far stronger than ordinary Dao Lords, they were completely unable to contend with the three Demigod Heavenly Kings and were successively annihilated.

Xiao Shi's main body remained in his own domain, not stepping out of it.

He closed his eyes, sensing the rules of heaven and earth he had come into contact with.

Through his clashes with the three Demigod Heavenly Kings, he had gained some understanding of the rules they wielded.

"What Demigod Xing Kui wields should be the rule of destruction. His attacks are fierce, domineering, and highly destructive."

"In terms of attack methods, he mainly forms a special starry sky to unleash powerful attacks."

"As for Heavenly King Wood Plague's rule, it is the rule of life and death. He can control life and death to a certain extent."

"Of course, his rule of life and death cannot directly cause the target to die. From what I've seen so far, his methods tend to accelerate the loss of lifespan..."

Xiao Shi recalled the scene of his previous battle with Heavenly King Wood Plague.

The moment they clashed, the lifespan of Xiao Shi's Dao Lord identity began to rapidly drain, giving him a feeling that only a second had passed, yet it felt as if ten thousand years had instantly flown by.

This caused his Dao Lord clone to become incredibly aged in a very short period.

This was even without Heavenly King Wood Plague making a direct move.

Xiao Shi guessed that this should be a method similar to a domain.

As long as one was within a certain range of Heavenly King Wood Plague, their lifespan would accelerate its loss.

And when Heavenly King Wood Plague made his move, the rate of lifespan loss became even more astonishing!

When Xiao Shi realized this, he immediately decisively ordered his Dao Lord clone to self-destruct.

He knew very well that after self-destruction, the Dao Lord clone could still be revived.

But if he died due to exhaustion of lifespan, he could no longer be revived.

After all, the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao's immortality did not include death from exhaustion of lifespan.

This also made him realize that Heavenly King Wood Plague currently had an extremely significant counter to him!

This prompted his other clones in the Wood Plague Great Domain to quickly self-destruct before engaging Heavenly King Wood Plague.

Heavenly King Wood Plague's rule of life and death was simply too much of a counter to him.

If he were to forcefully engage Heavenly King Wood Plague, there would be a risk of losing clones.

Xiao Shi could only give up on battling him.

"Heavenly King Yao Xi's rule is the rule of time. She seems to be able to control the flow of time to a certain extent..."

Xiao Shi felt that among these three Demigod Heavenly Kings, Heavenly King Yao Xi had the most bizarre and unpredictable methods.

During his battle with Heavenly King Yao Xi, Xiao Shi felt that the entire time was chaotic.

He had clearly made a move and unleashed a powerful attack, yet the moment he struck, his time was directly reset by Heavenly King Yao Xi to several seconds ago.

This directly caused his attack to have no fluctuations or sound, instantly becoming ineffective.

Such a method... Xiao Shi had never encountered before, nor even heard of!

This led to his Dao Lord clone being completely one-sided in its clash with Heavenly King Yao Xi, without any ability to resist.

Heavenly King Yao Xi's manipulation of time caused Xiao Shi to be killed before he could even clearly see her figure.

Of course, Heavenly King Yao Xi's time manipulation also had considerable limitations.

From what Xiao Shi had observed so far, he speculated that Heavenly King Yao Xi could only manipulate within ten seconds.

That is to say, Heavenly King Yao Xi could make the target's time return to ten seconds ago during battle, or make the target's time appear ten seconds later.

The main thing was to advance or rewind time by ten seconds.

At the same time, her manipulation of time could only affect individuals, not the time flow of the entire world.

Of course, this was only what Xiao Shi saw in his initial engagement with her.

What was certain was that this was definitely not Heavenly King Yao Xi's full strength.

After all, Xiao Shi's Dao Lord clone was not enough to make Heavenly King Yao Xi go all out.

Therefore, Xiao Shi also couldn't speculate to what extent Heavenly King Yao Xi could manipulate time when at full strength... In summary, in his clashes with these three Demigod Heavenly Kings, Xiao Shi was only able to hold out longer against Demigod Xing Kui.

In front of the other two demigods, he was instantly killed.

But this did not mean that Demigod Xing Kui's combat power was inferior to Heavenly King Wood Plague and Heavenly King Yao Xi.

It was simply that, given Xiao Shi's current situation, he only had a slight ability to contend when facing a demigod like Demigod Xing Kui, who fought head-on and didn't have as many bizarre methods.

He wouldn't be instantly killed.

However, this was also under the condition that the opponent was not using their full strength.

Xiao Shi knew that although he could rely on the immortal and indestructible nature of the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao to battle these three Demigod Heavenly Kings through his clones, he could not determine their true strength through these battles.

Firstly, these Demigod Heavenly Kings would not use their full strength in their battles with him.

Their powerful ultimate moves were never unleashed.

At the same time, they would not use their powerful treasures, such as demigod-level forbidden treasures!

As the realm increased, the power of treasures would also become increasingly terrifying.

Especially at the demigod realm, the strength of a demigod often depended not only on themselves but also on the treasures they possessed, which would play a decisive role.

It could be said that what Xiao Shi saw now was merely the tip of the iceberg of what the three Demigod Heavenly Kings displayed.

And just this tip of the iceberg had already made him clearly feel the huge gap between a demigod and a Dao Lord.

Fortunately, through his clashes with the three Demigod Heavenly Kings, Xiao Shi had successfully come into contact with their rules.

He had gained a lot of insights into the rules of heaven and earth within Tianwu Continent.

However, the current insights alone were clearly far from enough to allow him to transform his own Dao into rules.

Xiao Shi pondered that he needed to come into greater contact with these rules of heaven and earth.

However, among the three Demigod Heavenly Kings currently, battling Heavenly King Wood Plague carried the risk of losing clones.

And Heavenly King Yao Xi's methods were bizarre, resulting in instant kills, so her usefulness was limited.

Only with Heavenly King Xing Kui could he have more opportunities to come into contact with the rules of heaven and earth.

After all, the longer the battle, the longer the contact time.

At the same time, the more rules these Demigod Heavenly Kings used, the deeper Xiao Shi could access.

For example, if these three Demigod Heavenly Kings directly unleashed their full-strength killing moves, then Xiao Shi would be able to access the deeper aspects of the rules of heaven and earth at once.

But such an opportunity clearly did not exist.

These three Demigod Heavenly Kings would not unleash killing moves on a Dao Lord.

Xiao Shi felt that he could currently gain the most benefit only from Demigod Xing Kui.

Thinking of this, his clone, which had not yet acted, decisively chose to go to Demigod Xing Kui's Great Domain at this moment.

This clone was different from his other clones that cultivated other era systems.

This clone was formed by the ordinary ability of his martial emperors cloak.

To some extent, the combat power of this clone was far stronger than the previous ones.

After all, this clone could perfectly inherit the combat power of Xiao Shi's main body.
