It was not only useful to Sages, even after becoming a Daolord or even a demigod, this combat form could allow one’s combat strength to reach a height that ordinary people could not reach. After all, be it Daolords or demigods, they were at their strongest when they were in their domains.
This was also the main reason why Demigods Xingkui and Mu Wen had chosen to hide in their own domains. If Heavenly King Yao Xi was also in her domain back then, she might not die.
Although fusing his domain into his body would increase his combat strength greatly, the slumber of everyone in the domain would cause their cultivation to stagnate and they would not be able to continue increasing their strength. It would not affect them much in the short term.
But as time passed, Xiao Shi’s development would definitely be greatly hindered. Especially the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Currently, the important members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace were all in Xiao Shi’s domain.
Once they fell into a deep sleep, no one would manage the Heavenly Mystery Palace. At that time, the development of the Heavenly Mystery Palace would definitely be affected. If this continued for a long time, it would definitely do more harm than good. After all, the development of any domain could not do without the martial artists in the domain.
Merging the domain into his body was equivalent to causing the entire domain to stagnate. However, under the current circumstances, Xiao Shi felt that fusing his domain into his body was the best choice.
Although everyone in the domain would fall into a deep sleep, at least they would not be in danger of death and destruction.
Based on the current situation in the Tianwu Continent, the other two demigod Heavenly Kings were clearly shocked by the death of Heavenly King Yao Xi.
They did not even dare to snatch and occupy the region that had collapsed after Heavenly King Yao Xi’s death. They would not snatch her territory at this time.
And for some reason, the mysterious expert hiding behind the scenes had yet to appear. Even after killing Heavenly King Yao Xi, he still hid behind the scenes and did not appear. Similarly, they would not occupy the territory of the Tianwu Continent. This was because once they occupied any territory in the Tianwu Continent, they would be exposed to everyone.
Xiao Shi was the best example.
Before refining this special area, no one noticed him at all. However, after he refined this special area, no matter how much he tried to hide, he would definitely be noticed by everyone.
Therefore, Xiao Shi was certain. As long as the person behind the scenes was unwilling to show up, he would definitely not come to snatch his territory. As long as he did not stay in the altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect for long, he believed that his domain would still have enough territory to accommodate him after coming out.
Xiao Shi stopped hesitating. He decisively began to switch from his protective form to his combat form through the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe.
As the form of the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe changed, the nine golden dragons surrounding his domain immediately flew into the robe.
Xiao Shi’s domain fused into his body. It turned into a part of his body. Everyone in the domain, regardless of their cultivation, fell into a deep sleep at this moment. When this domain completely fused into his body, the huge area originally occupied by this domain instantly became empty.
However, the periphery was still hidden by Xiao Shi’s starlight. He believed that no one would notice in a short period of time.
An unprecedented sense of power filled Xiao Shi’s entire body. Even though he had yet to use the power of everyone in the domain, he could clearly feel the powerful increase brought about by the domain.
There was a huge burden accompanying this improvement. It was as if he was carrying a towering mountain on his back. But Xiao Shi’s physical strength could still withstand it.
“I hope I won’t be in the altar for long.” Xiao Shi thought as he condensed the shadows on the ground on his body, his body seemed to be covered by many black sticky substances. Even all the aura on his body was hidden. During this period, he would not be sensed.
After his entire body was covered by this black and sticky substance, his body immediately melted like a melted wax statue and sank into the ground, disappearing.
In a mysterious area in the Tianwu Continent, many sticky black substances suddenly emerged from the ground. These black sticky substances gathered together to form a pitch-black human figure. These black sticky substances entered the pitch-black humanoid body one after another, revealing Xiao Shi’s figure and appearance.
The moment Xiao Shi arrived, he sized up his surroundings. Currently, he was in a huge circular square. Above the square was the dark and gloomy sky. Although he could feel that the sky above the square was very different from the sky he usually saw, he was certain that this was still in the Tianwu Continent.
The entire square was filled with pressure. Not far in front of him was a huge statue. This statue gave Xiao Shi a strong sense of familiarity.
It was a statue of an evil ghost!
The entire statue exuded a ferocious aura. Xiao Shi stared at the statue in front of him carefully. He felt a familiar evil ghost aura from the statue. However, this statue in front of him was quite different from the evil ghost lineage of their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
It was as if this statue was purer than the evil ghost lineage of their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Just as Xiao Shi was thinking, a sound suddenly came from the statue. The stone skin on the statue cracked and kept falling off, revealing the huge evil ghost in the statue. The evil ghost was pitch-black, and its skin was covered in wrinkles and short sharp thorns. There was also a pair of black wings on its back, but the entire wing was currently in a contracted state. It was squatting on the stone pillar.
As the stone skin on his body fell off, his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. It revealed a red and malicious gaze. He suddenly looked at Xiao Shi and turned into a black light that rushed towards him.
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. When he observed this evil ghost, he discovered that not only was this place isolated from his spiritual sense, but it was also isolated from his cultivation. Coupled with the fact that this evil ghost’s power system was different from martial artists, it was difficult for Xiao Shi to determine the true strength of this evil ghost.
Out of caution, Xiao Shi decisively chose to use the Qianqi Dao Slash under the Slaughter Dao to test the strength of this evil ghost. But when he raised his hand, not a single weapon flew out. He did not activate his Slaughter Dao either.
“What’s going on!?” Xiao Shi was stunned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. However, he had no time to think. The evil ghost that was charging over had already rushed in front of him.
Xiao Shi hurriedly dodged.
Even though he had already dodged at the first moment, he still could not completely dodge it. The sharp claws of the evil ghost slashed open a blood mark on his chest.
Sizzle!
Black smoke emitted from the blood mark and emitted a corrosive burning sound. It was clearly poisonous. Xiao Shi looked down at the blood mark on his chest that was emitting black smoke and frowned.
Under normal circumstances, such injuries could basically heal in an instant. But now, he realized that he did not have the ability to heal himself.
“Not only do I lose my self-healing ability, but I also seem to have lost all my other abilities here. Whether it’s my Slaughter Dao or my other methods, they seem to be forbidden here.”
After Xiao Shi made a series of attempts, he discovered that he could not use his other abilities now. All of them were ineffective. There was only one ability that could be used here.
And that was the ability of the evil ghost!
