417: Four Dao Lord-level items

Above Purple Peak Territory.

After a colossal boom that sounded like the sky collapsing.

The entire Purple Peak Territory abruptly returned to tranquility.

Demigod Xing Kui still floated in the sky like a celestial being, gazing indifferently at the vacuum zone that had formed in front of him.

Everything there had been destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

This was also because Demigod Xing Kui and Xiao Shi mainly fought in the air.

If the two sides had fought on the ground.

With their final collision and impact.

The entire Purple Peak Territory would inevitably have been destroyed along with it.

Even so.

Under Demigod Xing Kui's final suppression of the starry sky.

A terrifying vacuum zone also appeared above the entire Purple Peak Territory.

Everything there had been annihilated into nothingness.

Including Xiao Shi's clone.

However, Demigod Xing Kui's face showed no joy at this moment.

Instead, his brows were tightly furrowed.

He still hadn't figured out the intention behind the Fifth Domain sending so many powerful Dao Lord Level cultivators to their deaths.

One thing was certain.

These Dao Lords were not cultivators of the current era.

“Except for the last Dao Lord, who displayed power suspected to be from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, the power of the other Dao Lords does not seem to belong to this era...”

Demigod Xing Kui fell into deep thought.

In fact, when they first saw numerous dao stars appear out of thin air in the Dao River, they had already realized that these suddenly appearing dao stars must be related to previous eras.

After all, in the current era, it was impossible for so many dao stars, especially Ancient Dao, to appear out of nowhere.

He just couldn't understand.

How the other party brought dao stars from past eras into the present era.

“dao star...”

Demigod Xing Kui's eyes suddenly lit up.

He instantly grasped the key!

He abruptly looked up, seriously gazing at the dao stars in the Dao River above.

Now, as the starry sky he had conjured dissipated, the Dao River above also became visible.

This allowed him to clearly and directly see the many dao stars existing within the Dao River.

In an instant.

His pupils contracted violently as if encountering a strong light.

He even let out an incredulous gasp.

“Impossible!!”

His face was filled with shock as he stared at the dao stars above.

He clearly saw that those Ancient Dao stars had not changed at all!

Originally, in his opinion.

As he killed these Dao Lords.

The Ancient Dao belonging to these Dao Lords would either directly dissipate or become masterless Dao.

But at this moment, under his gaze.

He found that these Ancient Dao had not changed in any way!

This completely bewildered Demigod Xing Kui... “Indeed, there is still an insurmountable chasm between my current self and a Demigod.”

Xiao Shi was comprehending The Rule of Dao.

He sighed in his heart.

Although he did not use the important items he possessed in this battle with Demigod Xing Kui, as once a clone died, these important items would not be recoverable.

Therefore, when Xiao Shi dispatched a clone to fight, he naturally wouldn't let the clone carry these important items into battle.

However, he knew that even if he used all the items he had, he would still not be a match for a Demigod.

Demigod Xing Kui's final strike was only slightly serious.

It was not his full power.

This also made Xiao Shi deeply feel the difference between a Dao Lord and a Demigod.

To summarize, there were only four words.

Invincible!

For Xiao Shi to be able to make Demigod Xing Kui unleash such a level of power this time was already an incredibly astonishing achievement.

No matter in which era.

No Dao Lord had ever been able to engage in this level of battle with a Demigod.

Under normal circumstances, a Dao Lord facing a Demigod would be instantly killed.

Due to the comprehension of The Rule of Dao being different from ordinary comprehension, one doesn't need to constantly immerse oneself in comprehension and do nothing else.

Therefore, Xiao Shi could do other things while comprehending.

Currently, he decided to revive his clones first.

Buzz!

As Xiao Shi's thoughts stirred.

He immediately, through his own Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao, formed a mottled, massive ball of flesh in front of him, and the entire flesh ball pulsed like a heart.

Hiss!

Suddenly.

The membrane on the surface of the flesh ball abruptly stretched, revealing the outline of a hand. This hand directly tore through the membrane, revealing a body, which was precisely Xiao Shi's clone!

The revived clone was like an infant tearing through its amniotic sac.

It sat up from within the flesh ball.

Its eyes opened, awakening from slumber.

Following closely were the second and third clones, awakening one after another.

In an instant.

All seven of Xiao Shi's clones, who had originally died in battle, were fully revived under the effect of the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao.

Except for the clone that fought Demigod Mu Wen, which suffered irreversible effects due to the depletion of its lifespan and became extremely aged, all other clones returned to their original state.

This also made Xiao Shi deeply wary of Demigod Mu Wen.

From the current situation.

Demigod Mu Wen's restraint over him was too great.

Before he could find a way to break this restraint.

He must not engage him in battle under any circumstances.

And after successfully reviving all the clones.

Xiao Shi then began to sort out the gains from this trip.

Besides fighting three Demigods this time, he also killed several Saints and Dao Lords.

Thus, he acquired several Saint Grade and Dao Lord Level items.

Saint Grade items were no longer of much use to him.

They were basically all used for forging Saint Weapons.

Xiao Shi focused on the Dao Lord Level items.

He was currently most lacking in Dao Lord Level items.

This made him extremely value the four Dao Lord Level items he acquired this time.

【Name: Dao Suppressing Sword】

【Type: Weapon】

【Grade: Dao Lord Level】

【Introduction: An extremely rare Dao Sword, one can choose to suppress a type of Dao within the sword, thereby granting the sword the ability of that Dao.】

【Note 1: Can only suppress one type of Dao.】

【Note 2: This Dao must be a masterless Dao.】

...Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly lit up.

This [Dao Suppressing Sword] was undoubtedly an extremely powerful Dao Lord Level Dao Weapon!

If he chose to suppress his own Dao of Slaughter within the [Dao Suppressing Sword], then this [Dao Suppressing Sword] would be equivalent to wielding the Dao of Slaughter.

This way, even a Dao Lord who did not personally wield the Dao of Slaughter could use this Dao Weapon to unleash the power of the Dao of Slaughter!

To some extent.

This [Dao Suppressing Sword] was equivalent to being able to wield an additional type of Dao!!

However, this Dao would not exist within his own body.

Instead, it would be suppressed within the sword.

This still had a significant difference from Xiao Shi simultaneously wielding three types of Dao.

At the same time, the [Dao Suppressing Sword] could only suppress masterless Dao.

“If that's the case...”

“Perhaps I can choose from the four Dao Lords I killed earlier!”

Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

When those four Dao Lords were killed by him.

Their Dao also became masterless Dao.

Meeting the conditions for the [Dao Suppressing Sword]'s suppression.

However, such masterless Dao also needed to be contended for.

And within the Tianwu Continent, whenever a masterless Dao appeared, it would cause all Saints to frantically scramble for it.

After all, this was the only way for Saints in the current Tianwu Continent to advance to Dao Lord.

Xiao Shi pondered that he could find a way to contend for these masterless Dao later.

He then looked at the second item.

【Name: Dao Guiding Stone】

【Type: Special Stone】

【Grade: Dao Lord Level】

【Introduction: A unique and peculiar stone born from heaven and earth, which can be used to attract masterless Dao in the world, thereby bringing the masterless Dao into one's hands.】

【Note 1: Can only attract one masterless Dao.】

【Note 2: Can only guide Dao once, and after guiding Dao is completed, the Dao Guiding Stone will completely dissipate.】

...Well, no need to contend for it.

He could just directly use the [Dao Guiding Stone] to attract a masterless Dao and suppress it into the [Dao Suppressing Sword].

The combination of these two items was quite good.

At the same time, Xiao Shi knew deeply.

This [Dao Guiding Stone] was definitely a priceless treasure in the Tianwu Continent!

After all, possessing this [Dao Guiding Stone], to some extent, meant that a Saint would definitely be able to advance to a Dao Lord!

Xiao Shi could also use this [Dao Guiding Stone] to freely choose among the four masterless Dao currently in the Tianwu Continent.

Then came the third item.

【Name: Dao Beast Egg】

【Type: Beast Egg】

【Grade: Dao Lord Level】

【Introduction: A special beast egg born from heaven and earth, which can only be hatched using one's own Dao.】

【Note 1: Different Dao will hatch different Dao Beasts.】

【Note 2: The Dao Beast can be integrated into one's own Dao, thereby further enhancing one's Dao.】

...“It's actually a Dao Beast!!”

Xiao Shi's eyes instantly brightened.

He had heard about Dao Beasts from the Dao Ancestor during The Primordial Martial Era.

According to the Dao Ancestor.

Dao Beasts were extremely rare and peculiar beasts.

They were companion beasts of the Dao.

Dao Lords had a certain probability of giving birth to Dao Beasts when they Grasping the Dao.

However, regarding the birth pattern of Dao Beasts... even the Dao Ancestor knew nothing.

According to the Dao Ancestor's words.

Throughout The Primordial Martial Era, only one Dao Lord had ever given birth to a Dao Beast.

But this Dao Lord died violently because he could not control the Dao Beast.

After that, no Dao Beast ever appeared again.

Therefore, the Dao Ancestor's understanding of Dao Beasts was also very limited.

He only knew.

The Dao that gave birth to a Dao Beast would experience an incredibly significant improvement and change!

Xiao Shi hadn't expected to actually drop such a rare and immense treasure this time!

But thinking about it carefully.

It didn't seem strange.

Firstly, Dao Lord Level items were not numerous to begin with.

Generally, the higher the level of an item, the rarer it tended to be.

Secondly, every Dao Lord Level item was extremely extraordinary.

Items below the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao would still have quality distinctions.

But items in the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao no longer had such quality distinctions; any Dao Lord Level item possessed extremely high quality.

Therefore, every Dao Lord Level item Xiao Shi now obtained through killing drops was immensely useful, priceless, and of the highest quality.

Xiao Shi carefully gazed at the [Dao Beast Egg] in his hand.

This [Dao Beast Egg] was somewhat different from the Dao Beasts he had learned about from the Dao Ancestor.

There was a certain distinction between the two.

The Dao Beasts mentioned by the Dao Ancestor were born during Grasping the Dao.

However, what Xiao Shi had obtained now was a beast egg that needed to be hatched.

There was a significant difference in their birth methods.

At the same time, the Dao Beasts understood by the Dao Ancestor, if they could not be controlled after birth, would carry the risk of violent death.

But Xiao Shi felt that the Dao Beasts hatched from the [Dao Beast Egg] should be much gentler and would not directly lead to violent death.

Currently, his main consideration was which Dao he should use to hatch this [Dao Beast Egg]?

After all, he had three types of Dao.

“There's no need for the Exclusive Dao...”

Xiao Shi first excluded the Exclusive Dao, primarily choosing between the Dao of Slaughter and the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao.

Although the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao was the most powerful Dao among his three Dao.

However, the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao also had a problem.

That was, there was no longer any room for improvement.

After all, the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao was already close to perfection in all aspects.

Xiao Shi felt that even if he used the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao to hatch the [Dao Beast Egg], there probably wouldn't be a particularly significant improvement.

As for the Dao of Slaughter, as his combat Dao.

The strength of the Dao of Slaughter would directly determine Xiao Shi's combat ability. If the Dao of Slaughter could be further strengthened, he believed his combat power would experience an even greater increase.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi felt that using the Dao of Slaughter to hatch the [Dao Beast Egg] was more suitable than the Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao.

However, he was not in a hurry to hatch it immediately.

Instead, he looked at the last item dropped this time.

He planned to examine all items first before proceeding with the hatching of the [Dao Beast Egg].

Soon.

Information about the fourth item appeared in Xiao Shi's vision.

【Name: The Rule of Dao】

【Type: Rule】

【Grade: Dao Lord Level】

【Introduction: This is an extremely special Rule of Dao. Through comprehension, one can witness the process of the Dao of Heaven and Earth transforming into The Rule of Dao.】

【Note: Can be comprehended by Dao Lords to gain a deeper understanding of The Rule of Dao.】

...Xiao Shi's heart violently stirred.

Compared to the previous three items.

This item was clearly the most important and crucial to him at present!

This was the key item that could accelerate his breakthrough to become a Demigod!

Currently, Xiao Shi's biggest headache was the difficulty in accessing The Rule of Dao.

He believed that even if he continued to use his Dao Lord clone to fight Demigod Xing Kui, Demigod Xing Kui would no longer bother with him.

With a Demigod's wisdom.

Even if he didn't know about the immortal and indestructible nature of his Behind-the-Scenes Heavenly Dao, just by seeing that the dao stars in the Dao River hadn't changed, he would know that these Dao Lords hadn't actually died earlier.

He definitely wouldn't fall for it again.

Now with this [The Rule of Dao].

Xiao Shi could use this item to access a special Rule of Dao.

Thereby accelerating his comprehension.

He was no stranger to such items.

He knew that among items of various realms, there were always some that could help one quickly break through to the next realm.

Just like when he was in the Saint Realm, he had dropped items like [Enlightenment Stone], [Hair of the Passage], [Dao Source Forging], etc., which could accelerate his journey to becoming a Dao Lord.

Naturally, among Dao Lord Level items, there were also items that could accelerate his journey to becoming a Demigod.
