Chapter 664: Disdain (2)

However, just as he approached the fifth domain, his expression suddenly changed. He instantly lowered his head. His body below the waist silently turned to dust. So much so that he had yet to react and he had lost half of his body.
This made the Martial Demon Realm cultivator’s eyes widen. He did not even know what kind of power it was caused by. There was no warning at all beforehand, nor did he sense any danger. Half of his body was wiped out of thin air.
Not only that, after his lower body was erased, his upper body also turned to dust in less than a second. It was also erased.
In less than a second, this Martial Demon Realm cultivator was completely reduced to dust and his body and soul were destroyed.
This terrifying scene was immediately seen by a few Martial Demon Realm cultivators who were trying their best to rush over.
From their point of view, they only saw that the moment this Martial Demon Realm expert approached the fifth domain, he was instantly wiped away by a mysterious, powerful, and invisible force in less than a second.
Not even ashes were left!
Their charging bodies immediately stopped. Their faces were filled with fear, their hearts trembled, and their breathing quickened! They did not dare to approach the fifth domain again. Many people even hurriedly retreated, worried that they would be affected if they were too close.
This kind of obliteration was not done by the Sage who controlled the Fifth Domain. This power was not something a Sage could possess at all! This was something that only demigods could do!
“There’s a barrier set up by a demigod outside the fifth region. Anyone who approaches will be killed by the power of the barrier!” The Martial Demon Realm cultivators gasped. Then, they realized that the three demigod Heavenly Kings did not allow anyone to join the fifth region.
With everyone paying attention to the fifth region, this matter quickly spread throughout the entire Tianwu Continent and was known by everyone.
Many people were shocked by this. They originally thought that the three demigod Heavenly Kings had tacitly agreed to Xiao Shi’s identity as the fourth Heavenly King without expressing their stance.
It was only at this moment that they realized the reason why the three demigod Heavenly Kings didn’t express their stance wasn’t because they had tacitly agreed, but disdain! In their eyes, Xiao Shi was only an insignificant Sage. It was not worth them expressing their stance at all.
Who were they? Why would they express their stance to an ant?
Perhaps in the eyes of most martial artists, Sages were already important figures in the Tianwu Continent. But in the eyes of a demigod, sages were not much different from other Martial Demon Realms, and Martial Soul Realms. They were all ants that could be easily crushed to death with a move of their fingers.
To a demigod, anyone below the top three realms of the martial dao was an ant that could be ignored. And their disregard made everyone who was paying attention clearly sense the difference between demigods and Sages.
Especially for those intermediate and low-level martial artists. Be it Sages or demigods, they were all important figures in their eyes. Before that, they did not have much understanding of the difference between these two big shots.
Only at this moment did they understand that in front of a demigod, Sages were nothing.
As someone headed to the Fifth Domain and saw the nine golden dragons surrounding the Fifth Zone, they understood why the three demigod Heavenly Kings could tolerate this Sage taking charge of the Fifth Domain.
This was not because this Sage was powerful or special. Instead, the fifth domain was enveloped by a powerful array formation, preventing the three demigod Heavenly Kings from forcefully occupying it.
“I knew it. What right does a mere Sage have to be called the fourth Heavenly King?”
“In my opinion, this Sage is inferior to the various lords. At least the various lords still have room to increase their strength and expand their forces. As for this Sage who occupied the Fifth Domain, he’s destined to be an empty commander.”
Some people who were already envious of Xiao Shi began to gloat. The lords also felt much better. If this Sage really became the fourth Heavenly King and had an identity comparable to the three demigod Heavenly Kings, it would more or less make them feel unbalanced.
However, to many Martial Demon Realm cultivators, this made them feel a little uncomfortable. If not for the restrictions of the three demigod Heavenly Kings, they all had the chance to advance to the Sage Realm through this fifth domain.
However, no one could approach the barrier set up by the demigod Heavenly King, let alone enter the fifth region.
Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. After all, this was a barrier set up by a demigod. Apart from demigods, no one could withstand this barrier and forcefully enter the fifth region.
Xiao Shi had personally seen the Martial Demon Realm cultivator who was directly erased by the barrier after approaching his domain.
This made him clearly realize that not only did the three demigod Heavenly Kings prevent him from taking a step out of his domain, but they also wouldn’t let anyone enter his domain. They wouldn’t give him any room to develop.
They clearly wanted to cripple him in this way. After all, for Sages, the development of his own domain was also an important part. If he was trapped in his domain and could not leave, it was impossible for there to be any improvement and development.
“I have to think of a way to avoid the barrier outside and bring some people in first.”
Xiao Shi felt that he could not go out now. However, he needed to get some people into his domain first. According to his initial plan, he would first bring those people from the Red Tiger Sect over. After all, he had already left the Great Wu Empire.
It was naturally impossible for the Red Tiger Sect to continue staying in the Great Wu Empire. If not for the fact that Xiang Zizhen’s domain was in the Imperial Domain, Xiao Shi would have brought Xiang Zizhen to his domain to develop. Of course, he could also make Xiang Zizhen give up his domain.
This way, even if Xiang Zizhen lost his domain and fell from the Sage Realm, he could use his domain to advance to the Sage Realm again. In any case, his domain could give birth to Sages.
The biggest problem now was the barrier that the demigods had set up outside. Apart from having a powerful killing power, this barrier also isolated teleportation and other effects. Even if Xiao Shi established a teleportation array in his domain, he could not teleport.
However, Xiao Shi was not in a hurry. He already had an idea. Whoosh! He flipped his hand. A black Heavenly Mystery Mas appeared in his hand. The moment he put it on, he directly entered the Heavenly Mystery Palace and appeared in the dark and huge hall.
The moment he entered the Heavenly Mystery Palace, his gaze condensed on the three Heavenly Mystery Disc Fragments floating above the throne in the hall. These three Heavenly Mystery Disc fragments were constantly condensing and combining. The power of the Heavenly Mystery Palace spread between the three fragments, causing them to fuse and condense continuously.
Even if ordinary people obtained three fragments of the Heavenly Mystery Disc, it would be difficult to combine them into a complete Heavenly Mystery Disc. If he wanted to complete the restructuring, he had to have the power of the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Of course, if it was an existence like the Martial Emperor, he could reconstruct it even without the power of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“Soon…” Xiao Shi stared at the three Heavenly Mystery Disc fragments. Most of their reorganization was already completed. He believed that it would not be long before these three Heavenly Mystery Disc fragments were completed. At that time, he would have the powerful treasure, the Heavenly Mystery Disc.
Xiao Shi was looking forward to this strongest treasure of the Heavenly Mystery Palace. He retracted his gaze. This time, he did not come to the Heavenly Mystery Palace for the Heavenly Mystery Disc. Instead, he wanted to open up the area of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
Currently, he has successfully opened two of the four important areas. Only the area that could give birth to the Heavenly Mystery Box and another unknown area were left.
Before entering the Martial Emperor’s treasury, Xiao Shi did not know the use of this unknown area of the Heavenly Mystery Palace. However, among the many books in the Martial Emperor’s treasury, he saw some introductions to the Heavenly Mystery Palace and deduced the specific use of this unknown area.
Now, he planned to open this area!
