442: Demigod Treasure

Besides this.

Xiao Shi also considered one point.

That is, even if he possessed three types of Heaven and Earth Rules, once Martial Emperor chose to break through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm, he still wouldn't be his opponent.

For powerhouses of the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

No matter how many types of Heaven and Earth Rules a Demigod possessed, it would be impossible to contend with the Martial Dao Ninth Realm!

Therefore, from all aspects.

Teaming up with Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen was the best choice.

Ultimately.

Martial Emperor was the number one enemy currently!

With this thought.

Xiao Shi immediately began to contact the two Demigod Heavenly Kings.

As these two Demigod Heavenly Kings were currently staying within their respective Great Domains, in a state of high alert, they would not easily step out of their Great Domains.

Xiao Shi pondered that given their current vigilance, to meet and converse with them, it would be best to choose to hold the meeting within Tianji Hall.

On one hand, Tianji Hall could ensure their safety and reduce their vigilance.

On the other hand, conversing in Tianji Hall would prevent their conversation from being detected by Martial Emperor.

Xiao Shi knew very well.

Martial Emperor must be observing all movements from behind the scenes now.

As long as he went to find these two Demigod Heavenly Kings, Martial Emperor would surely know.

Even the content of their conversation might be leaked.

Only by holding the meeting within Tianji Hall could they maximize the assurance that their conversation would not be detected by Martial Emperor.

After all, no matter how powerful Martial Emperor was.

He couldn't infiltrate Tianji Hall.

And the method to get the two Demigod Heavenly Kings into Tianji Hall was also very simple.

Within the Great Domains of both Demigod Heavenly Kings, there were members of Tianji Hall.

Earlier, Demigod Yao Xi had the opportunity to contact Xiao Shi precisely through the Tianji Hall members in her Great Domain.

Soon.

The Tianji Hall members located in the Star-Chief Great Domain and Demigod Mu Wen's Great Domain, under Xiao Shi's instructions, approached the two Demigod Heavenly Kings, stating that the Hall Master of Tianji Hall wished to see them.

"Hall Master of Tianji Hall?"

Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen were both startled.

They hadn't expected the Hall Master of Tianji Hall to seek them out at this time.

Previously, they had no interactions with this Hall Master of Tianji Hall.

However, when they connected it with the recent events, they immediately realized that the Hall Master of Tianji Hall seeking them out at this time must be related to the recent demise of Demigod Yao Xi and the replacement of Yan Huagu's Heaven and Earth Rules.

At the same time, they also knew that within Tianji Hall, there would be no threat to their lives.

Thinking of this.

Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen both entered Tianji Hall directly through these Tianji Hall members...

Soon.

Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen met the mysterious Hall Master of Tianji Hall within Tianji Hall.

However, the entire figure of this Hall Master of Tianji Hall was shrouded in darkness, and the two Demigod Heavenly Kings could not clearly see his figure or appearance.

Besides this.

They discovered that besides the Hall Master of Tianji Hall, there was another person present.

"It's you!?"

When the two Demigod Heavenly Kings saw Xiao Shi.

They both frowned.

"There's no need for surprise, both of you. This time, it was this Demigod of the Fifth Domain who specifically asked me to arrange this Demigod meeting here with you."

The Hall Master of Tianji Hall, shrouded in darkness above, said.

The pupils of Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen both constricted.

They clearly noticed the keyword mentioned by the Hall Master of Tianji Hall—

Demigod!

Even before this.

They had already guessed that the one who replaced Yan Huagu's Heaven and Earth Rules was most likely the master of the Fifth Domain.

But upon truly confirming it.

Their minds still couldn't help but be stirred by immense waves.

There was even a momentary daze.

Just a short while ago... the other party was still merely a Saint.

At that time, although he was given the title of Fourth Heavenly King by the world, all three of their Demigod Heavenly Kings looked down on Xiao Shi, filled with disdain for him.

Yet, in the blink of an eye.

This Saint, whom they had originally looked down upon, had already become a Demigod of equal standing with them!

Such a speed of advancement... had completely overturned their understanding!

They truly couldn't imagine.

How exactly did the other party, in such a short period of time, advance all the way from a Saint to a Demigod!

Normally, beings like them in the Upper Three Realms.

Each had experienced an incredibly long period of time before making breakthroughs in their cultivation realms.

After all, each leap between realms in the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao.

The difficulty was extremely astonishing and immense.

The time required was even more incredibly long.

However, Xiao Shi here broke the norm, displaying a speed of advancement never before seen on the entire Tianwu Continent.

"Both of you, I've sought you out this time because there's a very important matter I need to tell you."

Xiao Shi, with a solemn expression, thoroughly informed the two Demigod Heavenly Kings about Martial Emperor's situation.

When Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen learned that the mastermind was actually Martial Emperor, their expressions all became grave.

They also hadn't expected... Martial Emperor was still alive!!

Instead, he had been plotting everything behind the scenes.

Now, he even desired to gather five types of Heaven and Earth Rules to advance to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

The impact this matter had on them was immense.

It caused their minds to be swept by a raging storm.

"Therefore..."

"Now, the three of us must join forces."

"Only by the three of us joining forces can we contend against Martial Emperor."

Xiao Shi said in a deep voice.

Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen both nodded.

Although before this, they and Xiao Shi had always been adversaries.

But in the current situation.

They knew.

If they did not join forces, they would surely be defeated one by one by Martial Emperor.

Currently, without having gathered all five types of Heaven and Earth Rules, Martial Emperor would not be in a hurry to break through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm; as long as they joined forces, they could temporarily still contend against Martial Emperor.

"What are your thoughts?"

Demigod Xing Kui looked at Xiao Shi.

"Although we now know that the mastermind is Martial Emperor, it is difficult to find Martial Emperor's true body after his rebirth. So, instead of us painstakingly searching, it's better to wait for Martial Emperor to actively seek us out!"

"Since he wants to use the Heaven and Earth Rules in our hands to advance to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm, he will inevitably make a move against us."

Xiao Shi told them his thoughts.

Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen both nodded in agreement.

Waiting for Martial Emperor to act was indeed better than them searching like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, even if they found Martial Emperor.

With their strength, they could at most contend with him, but not kill him.

So, even finding the other party would be meaningless.

"I have already reached an agreement with the Hall Master of Tianji Hall. Tianji Hall will fully support us, allowing us to communicate with each other using the heavens secret mask. Once any of us encounters an attack from Martial Emperor, we will immediately use the heavens secret mask to transmit information."

"Even if Martial Emperor uses a higher-level blockade, he will not be able to block the transmission of information via the heavens secret mask."

Xiao Shi said, while looking at the Hall Master of Tianji Hall in the darkness above.

The Hall Master of Tianji Hall nodded and said.

"Our Tianji Hall has always been an adversary of Martial Emperor; I will fully assist you."

With the guarantee from the Hall Master of Tianji Hall.

Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen felt much more at ease.

And just like that.

They successfully reached an agreement.

They would jointly contend against Martial Emperor.

"Next, it's time to wait for Martial Emperor to act..."

Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

Although he had these two Demigod Heavenly Kings as allies, his heart was still filled with heaviness.

As long as he hadn't reached the Martial Dao Ninth Realm, he could only protect himself.

And this self-protection was based on the premise that Martial Emperor would not advance to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

Once Martial Emperor gave up on advancing to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm with five types of Heaven and Earth Rules, then what awaited them would surely be a dead end!

However, Xiao Shi currently had no clue about breaking through to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

Even though he had already opened the passage to The Primordial Martial Era and could borrow a portion of power from Martial Ancestor, this borrowed power was not enough for him to contend against Martial Emperor.

Once Martial Emperor advanced to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

Even if Martial Ancestor personally descended upon the Tianwu Continent, he might not be Martial Emperor's opponent.

Martial Ancestor had already stated earlier.

Martial Emperor had already surpassed him in many aspects.

"Perhaps..."

"I am now destined to be unable to advance to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm in a short period through normal means."

"To advance to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm at the fastest speed, I can only rely on item drops!"

Xiao Shi's heart suddenly stirred.

He remembered that after he had killed Martial Emperor's Demigod clone, an item had dropped!

As he was in a hurry to open the passage to The Primordial Martial Era at the time, he hadn't immediately checked this item.

According to the Demigod cultivation of Martial Emperor's clone.

This item would surely be a Demigod-level item.

This made Xiao Shi's heart pound.

He felt that this item... might just be an item that could allow him to improve and break through.

In fact, a large part of the reason he was able to advance so quickly in the Upper Three Realms of Martial Dao was because he could obtain items for rapid breakthroughs through killing.

Under normal circumstances, such items.

No longer existed in the current Tianwu Continent.

But Xiao Shi was able to obtain them through killing.

And the higher the grade of the item.

The greater the probability of dropping such items that bring rapid breakthroughs.

Immediately.

Under Xiao Shi's expectant gaze.

The relevant information about this item then appeared in his vision.

【Name: tianwu wish】

【Type: Wish】

【Grade: Demigod-level】

【Description: This is a wish formed by the will of Heaven and Earth when the Tianwu World was born. One can use it to make a wish to the Tianwu World, and according to the wish made, the Tianwu World will fulfill it for you.】

【Note 1: Not all wishes can be fulfilled.】

【Note 2: The wish made must be within the capabilities of the Tianwu World.】

【Note 3: Some wishes may require a price to be paid for their fulfillment.】

...Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly brightened.

This wasn't the first time he had dropped such wish-type items.

However, the [tianwu wish] dropped this time was undoubtedly the top-tier wish-type item among all wish-type items.

Typically, such items would have certain restrictions.

The wish made could not be too vague or ethereal.

For example, if Xiao Shi were to make a wish to immediately become a High God.

Then the Tianwu Continent certainly couldn't fulfill it.

However, Xiao Shi felt that if he made a wish for his Slaughter Rule to transform into Slaughter Origin.

Perhaps there was a chance it could be fulfilled by the Tianwu Continent.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi immediately no longer hesitated.

He immediately tried to make a wish to the [tianwu wish] in his hand.

Buzz!

The moment he grasped the [tianwu wish].

He clearly felt the will of the entire Tianwu Continent descend with a roar.

He quickly used the [tianwu wish] in his hand to convey his wish to the will of the Tianwu Continent: to transform his Slaughter Rule into Slaughter Origin.

After making this wish.

Xiao Shi began to wait, feeling nervous and uneasy.

He also couldn't be certain if his wish could be fulfilled by the Tianwu Continent.

But he felt there should be a good chance.

Soon.

The will of the Tianwu Continent replied.

"Requires sacrificing two Demigod-level treasures?"

Xiao Shi frowned slightly.

It was also mentioned in the notes of the [tianwu wish].

Some wishes require a price to be paid for their fulfillment.

Now, the wish he had made required sacrificing two Demigod-level treasures as a price to be fulfilled.

Such a price, to a certain extent, was actually quite a good condition.

Although Demigod-level treasures were rare and uncommon.

But compared to the origin of the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

Their value was worlds apart.

To exchange for an origin with two Demigod-level treasures, such a condition would undoubtedly be accepted by any Demigod without hesitation.

However, Xiao Shi currently only had the [eye of imperial judgment] as a Demigod-level treasure.

Besides this.

There was no second Demigod-level treasure.

And the most troublesome thing was.

In the current situation where there were no Demigods to kill.

He also couldn't obtain more Demigod-level items through killing.

"Or, should I borrow the Demigod-level treasures from Demigod Xing Kui and Demigod Mu Wen?"

Xiao Shi knew that these two Demigod Heavenly Kings most likely had Demigod-level treasures in their hands.

But he thought carefully.

Although he and these two Demigod Heavenly Kings had formed an alliance for now.

Their relationship was actually not solid.

Once Martial Emperor, their common enemy, was gone, they would inevitably return to their previous adversarial stance.

In this situation.

These two Demigod Heavenly Kings would not lend their Demigod-level treasures to Xiao Shi.

Especially since Demigod-level treasures were extremely important to themselves.

He could only think of another way.

"First, let's see if Martial Ancestor can send Demigod-level treasures through the passage..."

Xiao Shi began to contact Martial Ancestor.

He knew that Martial Ancestor did have some Demigod-level treasures.

If Martial Ancestor could send Demigod-level treasures to the Tianwu Continent, it could resolve his immediate crisis.

At the same time, Xiao Shi believed that Martial Ancestor would also be willing to help him with this.

However, when Xiao Shi successfully contacted Martial Ancestor.

Martial Ancestor stated that this passage connecting to The Primordial Martial Era could only bear a portion of his power at most.

And the power of Demigod-level treasures had already far exceeded the passage's bearing limit.
