Chapter 775: Dao Beast, Black Dragon (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Heavenly King Yao Xi narrowed her eyes. She looked at the black-robed man in front of her calmly. She asked coldly, “Who are you?”

The black-robed man grinned. He reached out and grabbed the hood of the black cloak. He lifted the entire hood and revealed his true appearance in front of Heavenly King Yao Xi.

The moment Heavenly King Yao Xi saw the other party’s face, her originally calm expression instantly changed drastically! A violent earthquake occurred in her entire pupil. “You are!!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes were bright as he looked at the Dao Beast hatched after the beast egg shattered. It was a five-clawed black dragon with a long horn, long dragon whiskers. Its body was covered in pitch-black dragon scales. A surging and shocking killing intent kept dissipating from the black dragon’s body.

It was as if this black dragon was born to kill. Even if this black dragon was only the size of a palm now, judging from the terrifying killing intent spreading from its body, it would not be treated as an ordinary cub just because it was small.

Xiao Shi felt that even if a Sage saw this Dao Beast Black Dragon, his legs would probably tremble and he would find it difficult to stand still. Only Daolords who grasped the Dao of Slaughter could control such a slaughter Dao Beast.

Hatching was only the first step. What was more important next was to fuse this Dao Beast Black Dragon into his Slaughter Dao. He immediately began to integrate.

“Wu!!” When the black dragon sensed Xiao Shi’s Slaughter Dao, it immediately let out a happy roar. Clearly, his Slaughter Dao gave it a lot of comfort. Its entire body could not wait to fly up. He headed straight for the Dao River in the sky.

In an instant, the black dragon arrived in front of the Dao Star that represented Xiao Shi’s Slaughter Dao in the Dao River and roared as it fused into it. The moment the black dragon fused with Xiao Shi’s Slaughter Dao Star, this Dao Star in the Dao River actually disappeared bit by bit.

It was no longer in the Dao River. Instead, it was transferred from the Dao River to Xiao Shi’s body!

Boom!!

Xiao Shi’s body trembled violently at this moment. He could clearly feel that his body was undergoing a drastic change.

Usually, only the Dao River could carry the Dao. Now that Xiao Shi’s Slaughter Dao had appeared in his body, to a certain extent, his body was equivalent to transforming into a new Dao River.

This made him clearly feel that every aspect of his body was transforming. The Dao aura emitted from his body became incomparably shocking. Xiao Shi finally understood why the Daolord who had given birth to a Dao Beast in the Beginner Martial Era had died suddenly.

If the other party was like him and needed to use his body to bear the Dao, he would definitely die if he did not have a strong enough body. Fortunately, Xiao Shi’s body had always been very powerful.

After enduring such a transformation, his body successfully transformed into a new Dao River. However, his Dao River could only accommodate one Dao at the moment. It could not accommodate other Daos other than the Slaughter Dao.

He felt that if he could think of a way to open up his own Dao River, he might be able to accommodate his other two Dao in the future.

At that time, his Dao would no longer be observed by other martial artists in the upper three realms of martial arts.

Xiao Shi even felt that if he could take another step forward, perhaps he could even absorb all the Dao of the Tianwu Continent into his own Dao River. It would replace the current Dao River of the Tianwu Continent. Once he reached this step, all the Daos in the Tianwu Continent would be in his hands. However, this was clearly not something that could be achieved in a short period of time. The opening of the Dao River was not a simple matter. It required a lot of time and energy.

Now that he had successfully integrated the Dao Beast Black Dragon into his Slaughter Dao, Xiao Shi could clearly feel that his Slaughter Dao had undergone a huge change.

However, the Slaughter Dao was fighting and killing Dao. Its strength could only be reflected in battle. Although Xiao Shi could now feel that the Slaughter Dao had been greatly strengthened, he would only know how strong it had become during the battle.

“Hmm?” Xiao Shi suddenly felt a fluctuation from his Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao. He raised his head and focused. He discovered that the hidden starlight around the Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao had been dispersed. “Is it starting to see through the secrets of my Heavenly Dao?”

Xiao Shi was not surprised at all. He knew that with how conspicuous his Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao was in the Tianwu Continent, the three demigod Heavenly Kings would sooner or later break through his Heavenly Dao.

However, he was not worried at all. Even if the three demigod Heavenly Kings worked together to disperse the hidden starlight, it was impossible for them to crack his Heavenly Dao secrets. After all, his Heavenly Dao itself had a very strong secret and was the strongest Heavenly Dao since ancient times.

Even if the three demigod Heavenly Kings joined forces, it was destined to be fruitless. He did not care about their actions at all. After successfully hatching and fusing with the Dao Beast, Xiao Shi began to think about which Dao to suppress in the Dao Suppression Sword. He began to observe the ownerless Dao in the Dao River above.

Previously, after he killed four Daolords, there would be four ownerless Daos in the Dao River. He could choose among the four ownerless Daos.

“Eh?” However, after making some observations, he realized that there were far more than four ownerless Daos in the Dao River. Instead, five ownerless Daos appeared! “There’s actually another one!”

Xiao Shi’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. Before a new ruler appeared on the Tianwu Continent, there would definitely not be a new Dao. Only the person in charge of the era could create the Dao of his own era.

Therefore, he was certain that this sudden appearance of an ownerless Dao was not a Dao born out of thin air. Instead, after the death of a certain Daolord, this Dao became ownerless. But what was strange was that he had clearly only killed four Daolords this time.

Why did five Daolords die?

“The three demigod Heavenly Kings won’t kill the other party’s Daolord without officially starting a war.

“Even if there are grudges between these Daolords, it’s very difficult to determine life and death in a battle between Daolords. Furthermore, it’s impossible for the three demigod heavenly kings to allow their Daolords to engage in a life and death battle.

“Then how did this Daolord… die?”

Xiao Shi vaguely felt that something was amiss. Not to mention the Daolord, it was very difficult for deaths to happen between Sages. The death of any Sage or Daolord would definitely cause a huge commotion in the Tianwu Continent.

One thing was certain. This Daolord must have died in the near future. When Xiao Shi returned from the Beginner Martial Era, he had observed the Dao River of the Tianwu Continent. At that time, he had not discovered that there was an ownerless Dao River.

Therefore, it was certain. This Daolord only died after he returned. What he was puzzled about now was, who was the dead Daolord? Which Daolord under a demigod Heavenly King?

Currently, the Daolords in the Tianwu Continent were either under the three demigod Heavenly Kings or under Xiao Shi. There were no Daolords without any faction.

Xiao Shi vaguely felt that there was something wrong! However, he lacked important information now, so it was difficult to deduce the situation. He shook his head. He temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He thought that he might be able to investigate through the Heavenly Mystery Palace later. The most important thing now was to choose an ownerless Dao and suppress it in the Dao Suppression Sword.

Xiao Shi seriously observed the five ownerless Daos. He had already come into contact with and understood four of the ownerless Dao when he fought with the four Daolords previously. He was mainly observing the fifth ownerless Dao.

These five ownerless Daos were all inferior-class mortal Daos. After all, superior-class mortal Daos were extremely rare in the Tianwu Continent. And Xiao Shi’s Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao was the only Heavenly Dao.

The current Daolords on the Tianwu Continent were basically in charge of inferior-class mortal Daos.

After Xiao Shi observed these five ownerless Dao seriously, he made a choice.
