Nandou Domain,
West Island.
Scarlet hot blood flowed on the ground, dyeing the entire ground dark red. The demon avatar, who was wearing a mask that covered his face, bent down and picked up the items that had dropped. He placed it in the storage space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
At the same time, Xiao Shi, who was paying attention to this scene through the demon avatar’s perspective, clearly saw that after the demon avatar killed the martial artist from the demonic faction in front of him, black gas suddenly floated out of the martial artist’s body and was sucked into the demon avatar’s body.
This black aura was the demonic nature that all demonic path martial artists possessed. When the demon avatar absorbed the other party’s demonic nature, his own demonic nature immediately increased.
This was how the demon avatar formed its own system. The demon avatar would use a large amount of demonic nature to form its powerful strength system in the Martial Demon Realm. Usually, for martial artists from demonic path factions, the stronger their demonic nature was, the lower their humanity.
When the demonic nature reached a certain level, it would replace human nature. As long as it was someone who cultivated to become a demon, they had long lost their humanity. However, the demon avatar was special. No matter how strong the demonic nature in its body was, it was still under Xiao Shi’s control.
Xiao Shi was not worried that after its demonic nature increased, it would leave his control. In fact, with his understanding of the demon avatar, he had expected that the demon avatar’s strength system in the Martial Demon Realm would be related to demonic nature.
Now, the demon avatar mainly killed martial artists from demonic factions and absorbed their demonic nature to build its own strength system.
Although Xiao Shi could not take the initiative to help the demon avatar construct the system, he had long given an order to the demon avatar. The power of the demon avatar’s construction had to be a powerful extreme power. It could not be just ordinary strength. In terms of strength, he had to reach a level that was not inferior to Xiao Shi’s extreme power.
Several days later, Xiang Zizhen had successfully advanced to the Sage realm. From this, the Great Wu Empire successfully had an additional Sage. Although this matter completely went against the wishes of the Prince, for various reasons, he still congratulated Xiang Zizhen on the surface and conferred him the title.
After all, Sages were already like vassals on the Tianwu Continent. No matter how dissatisfied the Imperial Prince was with Xiang Zizhen, he could not lose any of these titles and rewards that he deserved.
As Xiang Zizhen advanced to the Sage Realm, this Nandou Domain also became Xiang Zizhen’s Sage Domain. It was completely under Xiang Zizhen’s control. When Xiao Shi saw Xiang Zizhen, Xiang Zizhen’s entire aura was fundamentally different from before. The powerful aura emitted by Xiang Zizhen made Xiao Shi feel that the Xiang Zizhen in front of him seemed to have been reborn and was completely different from before. This was even when Xiang Zizhen had restrained his aura and had not completely revealed it.
Even so, Xiao Shi felt that Xiang Zizhen was like a giant in front of him. That indescribably powerful feeling gave him an extremely strong impact. This was the first time he had faced a Sage up close. Before that, he had never had the chance to come into contact with a Sage.
Even if he already had a certain understanding of Sages, when he really came into contact with them, that powerful and invincible feeling made him deeply feel the huge difference between a Sage and a Martial Demon Realm expert.
As the peak of the three intermediate realms, the difference between a Sage and a Martial Demon Realm was not just a realm. There was an extremely exaggerated chasm between the two. Once one became a Sage, not only would their strength increase, but the entire level would also change.
This could be seen from the number of the two. There were many Martial Demon Realms in the entire Tianwu Continent. But there were less than a hundred Sages!
Now that Xiang Zizhen had become a Sage, Xiao Shi could use Xiang Zizhen to understand the higher levels of the Tianwu Continent.
There were two main aspects on what he needed to focus on. Firstly, was there any area on the Tianwu Continent that could be refined? He needed to find an area that could be refined to prepare for his breakthrough to the Sage Realm in the future.
Secondly, whether the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect still had a deeper secret. Xiao Shi needed to use this to determine if the existence in the black coffin could be revived through the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
These two points were extremely important to Xiao Shi.
The matter of Xiang Zizhen breaking through to the Sage Realm did not only attract everyone’s attention in the Imperial Domain.
The three Heavenly Kings outside the Imperial Domain also paid close attention to this matter. After all, the Great Wu Empire’s fate had increased greatly back then, making the three Heavenly Kings suspect that it was brought about by Xiang Zizhen.
Although they could not enter the Imperial Domain, they all had different ways to grasp the movements in the Imperial Domain. Especially something as important as a new Sage, it could not be hidden from them.
The moment the three Heavenly Kings learned that Xiang Zizhen had advanced to the Sage realm, they all observed the fate of the Great Wu Empire at the first moment.
If the fate of the Great Wu Empire soared at this moment, then the person who had brought about a huge increase in the Great Wu Empire’s fate previously was definitely Xiang Zizhen. However, under their observation, the three Heavenly Kings realized that not only did the fate of the entire Great Wu Empire not increase, but it also decreased.
“Hmm?” This made the three heavenly kings frown at the same time..
