The few items he had obtained this time were definitely the best among the Sage-level items. Only in the Beginner Martial Era did he have a chance to kill so many Sages. Only by killing a large number of them could he drop high-quality Sages. This was something that could not be done on the Tianwu Continent.
Although these items were all items in a reset state, most of the items could be used directly in the Beginner Martial Era. Even if he did not bring them back, it would not affect him much.
As Xiao Shi absorbed all three different Dao origins, the number of Dao Origins permeating his body suddenly increased. It directly increased by nearly three times on his original foundation.
“I wonder if I could master the Dao with this amount of Dao Origins?” Xiao Shi’s heart was filled with anticipation. He could clearly sense that the Dao Origin that filled his body was extremely abundant. He held the enlightenment stone in one hand. Under the enhancement of the enlightenment stone, he began to gradually transform the Dao origins in his body towards the Dao.
Usually, if one wanted to transform a Dao origin into a Dao, it mainly depended on two aspects. One was the number of Dao Origins. The more powerful a Dao was, the more Dao Origin it usually required.
The second was comprehension. This comprehension was not the comprehension that Xiao Shi had improved through various pills in the past. Instead, it was a comprehension that was specially targeted at the “Dao”!
Usually, the stronger one’s comprehension of the Dao was, the fewer Dao Origin was needed for the conversion.
For example, when ordinary people transform the Dao Origins into the Dao, it requires 1,000 Dao Origins. In that case, those who possessed powerful comprehension abilities in the Dao might only need 700 Dao Origins, or even fewer, to be able to transform Dao Origins into Dao.
And there’s usually no way to increase Dao’s comprehension. It basically depended on his compatibility with the Dao. For example, Xiao Shi had a very high compatibility with the Dao of slaughter. Therefore, the Dao Origin he needed was naturally much less than ordinary people.
Coupled with the enhancement brought by the Enlightenment Stone, he felt that he had a chance of directly mastering the Dao through the Dao Origin on his body. He was completely immersed in the transformation of the Dao origin.
Under the transformation, his entire mind was attracted. A surging and impassioned killing intent kept dissipating from his body. As a result, whispers of killing echoed in Xiao Shi’s ears. He felt the killing intent in his heart completely explode at this moment. An urge to kill everything appeared!
However, his rationality was still intact. He restrained the killing intent on his body. This would allow these killing intents to be controlled and not lose control.
This was the choice he was facing regarding the Slaughter Dao. Usually, there were many different branches of any type of Dao. For example, karma-type Dao. There were good and evil Daos, and at the same time, there was also the Dao of love. There were also many branches of the Slaughter Dao.
Now, Xiao Shi had chosen the controllable Slaughter Dao between it and the uncontrollable Slaughter Dao, even though he knew that the uncontrollable Slaughter Dao would be stronger than the controllable Slaughter Dao.
This uncontrollable Slaughter Dao would enter an explosive state once the killing intent on its body was detonated. In this state, his entire strength would increase greatly, but he would lose his rationality and lose control. His own concept would also be distorted. He would feel that everything in the world could be killed! There was no bottom line, no principles.
This was clearly contrary to Xiao Shi’s usual style. Naturally, he would not choose such a Slaughter Dao.
After making a choice, Xiao Shi quickly faced more choices on the controllable Dao of Slaughter. Compared to other types of Dao, there were actually not many branches of the Slaughter Dao.
Before undergoing the transformation of the Slaughter Dao, he actually already had the ideal Slaughter Dao in his heart.
“My Slaughter Dao… should focus on the number of kills. After all, I’ve been killing since I became a martial artist. At every stage and realm of my cultivation as a martial artist, I have carried out a large number of killings. The most suitable for me is definitely the Slaughter Dao that focuses on numbers!”
After having a specific direction in his heart, Xiao Shi decisively chose the Slaughter Dao he wanted according to the intention in his heart.
The many Dao Origins that existed in his body collapsed into his body and continuously gathered into Dao. His body was like an hourglass. Under the collapse and condensation of these Dao origins, it quickly took shape.
The entire process was beyond Xiao Shi’s imagination. He did not feel any difficulty at all. There was no problem that his Dao Origin was insufficient to condense them into a Dao. At this moment, images of the massacre in the past began to flash through his mind. From the first killing till the most recent massacre. These images interweaved and overlapped continuously like musical talismans, forming a graceful killing song.
A powerful killing intent kept growing from Xiao Shi’s body. The moment he opened his eyes, two scarlet killing Dao patterns immediately appeared in his eyes! Terrifying Dao power spread out from his body continuously, causing the desolate mountain he was on to tremble violently..
