Which meant, if Xiao Shi pointed at the attack area through the needle of the Soul Disc when he was attacked by the enemy, the enemy’s attack would increase by three times. Similarly, this could also be used on Xiao Shi himself.
Now, Xiao Shi used the Soul Disc on himself and controlled the needle of the Soul Disc to point at the defensive area. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).
Back then, after he used the Item Upgrade Scroll to upgrade the Soul Disc from the Martial Soul level to the Martial Demon level, he no longer needed to let the needle spin clockwise like before. Every time the needle spun, it pointed to a fixed area.
Xiao Shi could completely choose the area he pointed to according to his heart. The only restriction was that they could only point to the same area once a day. It can’t point to one area more than once.
Now that the Soul Disc was pointed at the defensive area, the golden light on Xiao Shi’s body immediately became incomparably dense. Then, Xiao Shi controlled the Soul Disc and pointed the needle at the amplification area.
Immediately, the medicinal pills that could strengthen and recover his body, including the Martial Emperor’s Combat Boots, tree armor, and so on, all increased by three times.
Xiao Shi had undoubtedly raised his physical defense to the maximum! His entire body was covered in golden light. He thought that in this state, there should be hope of withstanding the impact of the corpse power.
Even if he could not withstand it, there was no need for him to explode and die on the spot.
After Xiao Shi took a deep breath, he quickly stepped forward. He walked straight to the Red Refined Corpse. He split a small portion of his soul and used this small portion to feed the Red Refined Corpse in front of him. It was only a small portion of his soul that had been severed, so it would not affect him much.
When the Red Refined Corpse in front of him ate a small portion of his soul, its tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. It revealed a pair of completely pale eyes. Be it the whites of the eyes or the pupils, they were all white.
However, after these eyes opened, they immediately began to change. It gradually changed towards Xiao Shi’s pupils. And in the process of transformation, a terrifying corpse power impact directly rushed towards Xiao Shi at an astonishing speed.
Even though Xiao Shi was already prepared, the moment he was hit by this corpse power, he still felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed meteorite. His entire body flew back uncontrollably. His feet left a deep mark on the ground. He kept flying back until there was a bang.
The protective mirror in front of his chest was the first to shatter and explode. Immediately after, many tree armors wrapped around his body also cracked and exploded.
All the bones in Xiao Shi’s body shattered, and intense pain swept over like a huge wave. His internal organs surged, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. More blood flowed out of his seven orifices. Even his body could not withstand it at this moment. Cracks appeared on his golden skin, and his flesh and blood collapsed.
In the blink of an eye, it was dyed red from the inside out. Even his head felt like it was about to explode.
This was the strongest attack Xiao Shi had suffered since he stepped onto the Martial Dao. He kept flying back. All the injuries on his body were healing at an astonishing speed. However, as soon as it healed, it immediately tore. Clearly, the recovery speed was not comparable to the speed of the wound tearing.
Just like that, Xiao Shi brushed past the ground and flew thousands of meters back. Apart from leaving a deep mark on the ground, wherever it passed, there was also a lot of blood and shattered flesh.
There was a rumble.
While Xiao Shi was retreating, he crashed into the wall of the valley behind him. It shattered the mountain wall on one side of the valley.
Zhou Hong, who was in the black fog, could not see this scene. However, he was also shocked by this huge bang. “Please don’t die…” His heart was filled with anxiety. He knew that once the other party could not withstand the impact of the corpse power, he would most likely explode and die.
If Xiao Shi died, he did not have such a thigh to hug in the subsequent stages. He naturally did not want to see Xiao Shi die.
Under Zhou Hong’s nervous and uneasy emotions, the surrounding black fog gradually dissipated. When his vision became clear, Zhou Hong immediately saw the two terrifying long marks on the ground and the mountain wall on the side of the valley that had exploded. It had completely turned into ruins formed by many fine rocks.
He swallowed his dry throat. He wondered if this was him, there was probably nothing left. This also gave him a deeper understanding of the terror of Sages.
“How… How is he?” Zhou Hong released his spiritual sense. He wanted to check on Xiao Shi. However, he could not sense anything. He was about to go to the pile of waste stones to search when an arm covered in blood and festering flesh, so much so that bones could be seen, suddenly stretched out from the pile of waste stones.
Although it looked tragic and shocking, it made Zhou Hong heave a huge sigh of relief. This was good. The other party was still alive!
Although the arm that stretched out from the pile of rubble looked terrifying, the injuries on it were healing at a visible speed. As the arm pushed hard against the rubble, Xiao Shi, who was covered in blood and could even see the shattered internal organs in his body, walked out of the rubble. His face was a little pale. He was panting a little. He felt like he had walked around the gates of hell.
The feeling of approaching death was something he had never felt before.
“The power of a Sage… is actually so terrifying!!” Xiao Shi’s heart palpitated. He realized that his previous estimation of Sages was still too low. The power of a Sage far exceeded his imagination. Moreover, the attack of a true Sage was definitely far stronger than the impact of this corpse power.
After all, the impact of the corpse power was only targeted at the body. It would not hurt his soul. And the attacks of Sages were not only targeted at the physical body, but also at the soul. If not for the fact that he had used various methods to strengthen his defense to the greatest extent, he would definitely die under such an impact. There was no hope of survival!
“As expected, Sages are not people that can be resisted by Martial Demon Realm cultivators!” Xiao Shi sighed in his heart.
Although his injuries were serious now, his powerful recovery ability was also displayed at this moment. Be it internal or external injuries, they were recovering at a visible speed.
Xiao Shi ignored Zhou Hong’s shocked, aghast, and happy gaze. Instead, he walked straight to the Red Refined Corpse in the coffin in front of him. When he walked in front of the Red Refined Corpse, he clearly saw that the pupils of the corpse had already turned into pupils identical to his. There was also a powerful sense of control, allowing Xiao Shi to see himself standing in front of the Red Refined Corpse.
“It worked!” Xiao Shi was excited. This sense of control was just like the avatars he controlled previously, However, because he did not know the Red Refinement Secret Technique, even if he could control this Red Refined Corpse, he could not let this Red Refined Corpse unleash the complete power of a Sage. He could only give some simple orders.
“This Red Refinement Secret Technique must be a Sage-ievei secret technique! And it’s a secret technique from the Martial Corpse Era!” Xiao Shi thought to himself. Usually, such secret techniques had basically been lost. If they were not left behind, they basically did not exist.
Which meant, the Tianwu Continent no longer had this secret skill. However, it was not impossible for Xiao Shi to obtain this secret technique. He felt that if he could kill a Sage, there was definitely a chance of dropping this Sage Secret Technique.
“If I can obtain this Red Refinement Secret Technique in the future, I can perfectly control this Red Refined Corpse.”
Xiao Shi’s heart burned.. After all, this was a Sage!
