Chapter 658 - 658: The Strongest Sage! (2)
Xiao Shi felt that this might be the opportunity to figure out who was inside the black coffin. Since the mysterious person in the black coffin had a deep entanglement with the Martial Emperor, that might be able to awaken a portion of the mysterious person’s memories through the Emperor’s Soul.
Xiao Shi immediately called out to the existence in the black coffin. However, the existence in the black coffin did not respond.
This made Xiao Shi frown. He felt that the existence in the black coffin seemed to have fallen asleep again because it had suffered too many injuries previously. After all, the existence in the black coffin was already in a terrible state.
Being able to attack this time was already the limit of what he could do. Even if he was not severely injured by the Emperor’s Soul, his mind would become even more incomplete. After being severely injured by the Emperor’s Soul, he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Shi could not understand its identity through the incomplete consciousness in the black coffin. However, after this experience, he had already understood that the mysterious person in the black coffin had a deep entanglement with the Martial Emperor. He might be able to follow this clue in the future and investigate the identity of the mysterious person.
Currently, Xiao Shi could only temporarily put aside the identity of the mysterious person. He thought of another question. “The box I opened previously should contain a remnant soul of the Martial Emperor. But why did the Martial Emperor specially leave a remnant soul in such a box and block it through the power of laws?”
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. He felt that all of this might have to be thought about in the direction of the Martial Emperor establishing this treasure vault. After all, it was unusual for the Martial Emperor to build a treasure vault here.
Logically speaking, the Martial Emperor could have left all the treasures in the treasure vault to the prince, but he chose to hide this treasure vault in this special area. It seemed like he did not want anyone to enter.
“What reason does the Martial Emperor have to not willingly hand over the treasures in the treasure vault to the prince and not willing to let anyone enter?”
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. He thought that the answer should be among the treasures in the treasure vault. Before that, he felt that it was because of the Heavenly Mystery Disc fragment in the treasure vault. He felt that the Martial Emperor didn’t want anyone to reconstruct the Heavenly Mystery Disc.
But just this point alone was not enough. Apart from the Heavenly Mystery Disc Fragment, there might be other reasons.
“Then there’s only this box.” Although there were many treasures in this treasure vault, the only high-level treasures were the Heavenly Mystery Disc Fragment, the Martial Emperor’s Emperor Robe, and this box that seemed to contain the remnant soul of a Martial Emperor.
Xiao Shi felt that the remnant soul in this box must be related to some important secrets that he did not know. “If someone else enters this treasure vault or doesn’t have the Martial Emperor’s Belt like me to form an Emperor’s Soul, what will happen after opening this box?”
Xiao Shi suddenly thought of a key point. From his previous experience, the remnant soul of the Martial Emperor in the box seemed to have a huge desire for souls.
If not for the Martial Emperor’s Belt forming the Emperor’s Soul, he felt that it was very likely that the remnant soul of the Martial Emperor would choose to directly devour the soul of the person who opened the box.
“In other words, the Martial Emperor didn’t let anyone enter this special area because he didn’t want anyone’s soul to be devoured after opening this box? Then why did he make such a box?”
Xiao Shi felt that he was still missing some important information. He looked at the Emperor’s Soul that was currently sealed in the Ancient Cang’e Tree and thought that if he wanted to know the answer, he might have to think of a way from the Emperor’s Soul.
Unfortunately, the Ancient Cang’e Tree could only seal the Emperor’s Soul now. It could not interrogate him. The Emperor’s Soul was also incomplete and could not speak.
“Since I can’t think of a way from the Emperor’s Soul, I’ll try to study that box.” At the thought of this, Xiao Shi’s gaze focused on the box in his hand. After the entire box was opened, there was nothing special. However, the box still had the shielding rule.
After some research, he could not find any useful information from the box. He thought for a moment. He simply cut off a portion of his soul and placed it in the box, imitating the Martial Emperor.
Soon, he realized that this box seemed to have the effect of preserving souls. It could allow the soul he placed inside to be preserved very well. It would not gradually dissipate because of the incomplete soul.
Under normal circumstances, an incomplete soul might not have any problems in a short period of time, but as time passed, it would be difficult to maintain his entire soul and it would gradually dissipate.
“If that’s the case, did the Martial Emperor use this box to preserve a remnant soul of his back then?” Xiao Shi was deep in thought. Although there were still some things that he did not understand, this experience made him realize a potential danger that existed in his body.
That was the Emperor’s Armor.
Not only would it bring him improvement, but it might also cause a backlash. Previously, the Emperor’s Soul had mainly relied on the Emperor’s Armor on him to increase his strength. This was under the condition that he was not wearing the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe.
Xiao Shi had a strong premonition. Once he wore the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe earlier, with the enhancement obtained by the Emperor’s Soul, he would probably be devoured by the Emperor’s Soul before the Ancient Cang’e Tree completed its transformation.
Even if the mysterious existence in the coffin attacked, he might not be able to snatch his soul from the Emperor’s Soul.
“The Emperor’s Armor belongs to the Martial Emperor after all. It doesn’t really belong to me. If 1 encounter a similar situation again, I’ll suffer the backlash of the emperor’s armor at any time!”
Xiao Shi felt that the current emperor’s suit was more like a double-edged sword. While it could bring him a huge increase and amplification, it could also cause a backlash. This made him hesitate if he should continue to collect the remaining two pieces of the Emperor’s Equipment.
He was now worried about a problem. That was, once he gathered all the emperor’s equipment, would there be a crisis like this?
Although the Martial Emperor had already died, no one knew if there was a similar remnant soul of the Martial Emperor in the Tianwu Continent. If these remnant souls all had ill intentions towards him, the emperor’s armor would become a sharp weapon for the remnant souls to kill him.
“If I can maintain enough strength in the later realms, I might not have to be in a hurry to collect the last two Emperor’s Set. In any case, it’s difficult for these two emperor equipment to drop through killing.”
There weren’t many people at the Daolord Realm and demigod realm who could be killed. It was basically impossible to drop an Emperor Equipment.
After this crisis, Xiao Shi felt that he still had to be careful. In any case, the current six emperor armors were enough.
“Or rather, I need to think of a way to make the Emperor’s Equipment mine and make it no longer belong to the Martial Emperor.” Xiao Shi’s eyes flashed.
But he also knew that it was almost impossible to do this unless he could reach the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. At that time, he might be able to directly erase the ownership of the Emperor’s Armor and make it his.
Soon, Xiao Shi’s soul completed the transformation of this special area and successfully transformed this special area into his domain. He also broke through in one go. He had successfully reached the Sage Realm!
Xiao Shi looked at the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe in front of him. Although there was a certain hidden danger in the emperor’s armor, he still needed the power of the emperor’s armor. He immediately extended his hand.
After grabbing the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, he put it on. Although he had only just broken through to the Sage Realm, with the strength of this special area and the current Holy Demon Body he possessed, he would definitely become the strongest Sage the moment he broke through to the Sage Realm!
He did not have to worry about not being able to wear the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe at all.
Whoosh!
The moment he put on the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, the other five emperor armors of Xiao Shi also appeared on his body.. With six pieces of Emperor equipment, he activated the protective form of the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe and activated the Nine Heavenly Dragons on it to form the Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation!
