Chapter 818: Situation (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Shi floated in the air and looked down at the black-robed man who had turned into shattered bones that filled the sky. However, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned. A huge question appeared in his heart.

The Martial Emperor… died just like that? He found it unbelievable. As the leader of the previous era, even though he had yet to step into the ninth realm of the Martial Dao after his rebirth, he was still a Martial Emperor.

Xiao Shi had thought that he could defeat the other party. After all, ever since he stepped into the Martial Dao, no one in the same realm was his match. Especially as one’s realm increased. The stronger he was in the same realm, the more obvious it was.

Even if his opponent was the Martial Emperor, Xiao Shi was not afraid at all as long as they were in the same realm. However, he had never thought that he could kill the Martial Emperor this time. He felt that even if the Martial Emperor was no match for him, he would definitely escape through some means.

In fact, once he was forced into a desperate situation, he could also choose to break through immediately. With the Martial Emperor’s foundation, he could definitely break through to the ninth realm at any time.

The Martial Emperor’s current intention was to advance to the ninth realm of the Martial Dao with the five rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would definitely not advance to the ninth realm easily. However, once his life was in danger, He could only choose to break through. It was impossible for him to kill him just like that. The other party was someone that could not even be killed by the calamity of the ninth realm of the Martial Dao.

How could he be killed so easily by a demigod like him?

Everything in front of him made Xiao Shi feel that something was wrong!

He fell from the sky. The examination of the corpse began. However, he saw an item among the many shattered bones that the other party had transformed into.

This was an item that had dropped after the other party died.

This could not help but shock Xiao Shi. From the drop of this item, he could conclude that the other party was really dead! There was no such thing as a fake death. If it was a fake death, it was impossible for it to drop an item.

He was extremely surprised. He was even prepared that no items would drop and that the other party was only pretending to be dead. Because this was the most reasonable situation. However, the items dropped by the other party clearly showed that the other party was not faking his death, but a true death.

Otherwise, it was impossible for items to drop.

“I… I killed the Martial Emperor just like that?” Xiao Shi still felt that this matter was too ridiculous. Even if he had hit the other party with an important information gap in this battle, which was the weakening of the rules by the Soul Disc, the other party did not know that he could only weaken it once. Therefore, he detonated the trident in advance.

The Eye of Extermination that the other party had used previously not only had the power under the rule of extermination, but it also had the power of the trident to cooperate with it to form a powerful Eye of Extermination.

If he knew that he could only weaken the rules once a day, he would definitely not detonate the trident in his hand so early. He would definitely use the rule of extermination to fight him to the death. At that time, he might be forced to use the power of a High God.

Xiao Shi stared at the shattered bones in front of him. His frown deepened. He could conclude that the Martial Emperor would definitely not be killed by him so easily. However, the black-robed man who appeared this time was truly dead. This could be confirmed from the items dropped by the black-robed man after his death.

“Or is it…? This person is actually not the Martial Emperor at all?” A thought suddenly arose in Xiao Shi’s heart.

If the other party wasn’t the Martial Emperor, then everything could be explained. But if this person was not the Martial Emperor, who was he?

Whether it was the Rule of Extermination used by the other party, the trident that was condensed into a suspected emperor’s armor, or the power of the High God that was used in the end, these were all characteristics that only the Martial Emperor possessed.

Apart from the Martial Emperor, it was impossible for anyone else to possess these powers at the same time.

This was a little contradictory.

Xiao Shi also noticed something. Although he had killed this black-robed man, the rules of heaven and earth of this black-robed man still existed. It did not dissipate, nor did it fall into Xiao Shi’s hands.

This was also a strange thing.

Typically, once a demigod died, the rules of the world would either dissipate or fall into the hands of the person who killed them, just like the previous Yao Xi.

But now that this black-robed man had died, his Heaven and Earth Rules did not dissipate, nor did Xiao Shi sense the existence of his Heaven and Earth Rules.

It was as if the other party’s rules of heaven and earth were not on him at all. Therefore, even if he killed him, he would not be able to obtain the rules of heaven and earth.

This was very strange.

Xiao Shi could not help but fall into deep thought. He consolidated all the current information. “What I can confirm is that the Martial Emperor is definitely not dead. However, the demigod I’m fighting this time is truly dead. And the most important Rule of Heaven and Earth is not on him.”

When Xiao Shi integrated all this information, he gradually had a guess. “If that’s the case, the only explanation is that it is indeed the Martial Emperor I killed this time. However, it’s not the Martial Emperor’s main body, but… one of his clones!”

In fact, when Xiao Shi saw the exclusive ability of the Martial Emperor’s Cape, “Separation can be successful”, he vaguely thought of the Martial Emperor. Perhaps he had many clones.
