From the relevant information displayed by the left eye of the Great Wu Empire’s prince, it was not difficult for Xiao Shi to tell that he could not release the fate of the Great Wu Empire sealed inside. He still needed to maintain the sealed state.
Originally, he thought that after he had these fates of the Great Wu Empire, he could be like the prince from before and augment himself with all these fates to form a powerful protective body. But in order to do that, he had to have the ability to condense his fate. Otherwise, once he released the fate sealed inside, this fate would directly dissipate and it was difficult to condense them on his body.
As such, this fate had to continue to be sealed in the left eye of the prince. Although he could not use the fate of the Great Wu Empire for the time being, Xiao Shi was not in a hurry.
If the fate of the Great Wu Empire was the key to the establishment of the new dynasty by the three demigod heavenly kings, then as long as the fate of the Great Wu Empire was in his hands, the three demigod Heavenly Kings could forget about establishing a new dynasty.
Xiao Shi was now holding the key to whether they could establish a new dynasty. From his own standpoint, he naturally didn’t want to see the three demigod Heavenly Kings establish a new dynasty. After all, the three demigod Heavenly Kings had always been eyeing his fifth domain covetously.
They were enemies with each other. If they established a new dynasty, this would definitely increase their strength to a certain extent. At that time, his situation would only be even more dangerous.
Now, as long as Xiao Shi held the fate of the Great Wu Empire, the key to establishing a new dynasty, he was not afraid that they could establish a new dynasty.
This time, Xiao Shi’s gains were not only limited to this eye that had many fates of the Great Wu Empire. What he was looking forward to the most was the item dropped after killing Cheng Riyou!
Before this operation, Xiao Shi had already thought of a problem. That was, if the clone he had formed with the Martial Emperor’s Cape completed the kill under the self-destruction, how could he take away the items after killing it?
And he thought of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. He had already made all the arrangements before the operation. When he completed the kill, he immediately used the Ancient Cang’e Tree to take away the items dropped after killing them.
However, he had not expected to be able to kill Cheng Riyou in one go. The power of the self-destruction of the clone was indeed powerful. Under normal circumstances, it was definitely impossible to kill the Daolord!
The reason why he was able to kill Cheng Riyou in one go was because he was in an extremely poor state. In addition, his strength had been sucked dry by Chen Yuan. Although he had recovered a little after being injected with the power of the three royal guards, the power that filled his body was not something he could control himself.
This caused Xiao Shi’s self-destruction to kill him. Xiao Shi was very excited about this.
He knew that there was an incomparably huge gap between a Daolord and a Sage. Even he, the strongest Sage, could not compete with the Daolord under normal circumstances. After all, there was more than a realm difference between a Sage and a Daolord. There was also a huge dividing line between the upper three realms of martial arts and the intermediate three realms.
Since ancient times, there had almost never been a situation where a Sage killed a Daolord. The further one’s martial arts realm went, the difference in strength between them was even greater. It was impossible for him to fight above his level again. Especially when he was at the intermediate three realms, it was even more impossible for him to defeat the upper three realms.
Xiao Shi could kill a Daolord with the strength of a Sage. This was already the first in history.
And all of this was thanks to Chen Yuan’s help. In fact, with Chen Yuan’s state at that time, he did not need to absorb the power of these Daolords at all. He already had the power of a demigod. Whether he absorbed it or not would not be affected.
The reason why he deliberately sucked the power of these Daolords dry was to help Xiao Shi successfully escape from the Imperial Domain after saving Xiang Zizhen and the others. Otherwise, once Chen Yuan died, even if Xiao Shi successfully saved Xiang Zizhen and the others, he would not be able to escape from these Daolords.
After all, from Chen Yuan’s point of view, he did not know that Xiao Shi was only a clone. Therefore, before he died, he specially planned a way out for Xiao Shi. However, even Chen Yuan did not expect that his action actually allowed Xiao Shi to kill the Daolord Cheng Riyou.
With this, he completed the first kill of the Daolord!
Xiao Shi was very excited. There were very few Daolords on the Tianwu Continent to begin with, and they were even more difficult to kill. It was undoubtedly a huge opportunity for him to kill a Daolord under such circumstances.
According to the pattern of the first kill, it would either drop the highest-grade Daolord-level items or demigod-level items. No matter what kind of item it was, its value was incomparably shocking.
Even among the many items he dropped, it was one of the best. Although Xiao Shi currently had many high-level items, for example, the black coffin in his body, the Heavenly Mystery Mask, the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, and the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, these were not the items he had dropped from killing them.
Apart from the Emperor’s Equipment, only the items dropped this time were considered high-level items..
