Chapter 797: The Secret Behind (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

The first time Xiao Shi sensed that the other party might be the son of the Martial Emperor was during the battle with the prince.

At that time, Xiao Shi had borrowed strength from the other party. After he used the other party’s power, this power actually froze the prince’s figure.

From then on, Xiao Shi vaguely sensed the existence of the black coffin must have a deep connection with the Wu Empire. Many fates of the Great Wu Empire were sealed on the body of the prince.

If it were anyone else, even the three demigod Heavenly Kings were unable to freeze the body of the Great Wu Empire’s descendant. To be able to ignore the fate of the Great Wu Empire, the person who caused the prince’s figure to freeze was definitely someone with the same status as the prince.

Moreover, the prince had also recognized the power Xiao Shi used, and he was shocked. The prince did not directly point out the other party’s identity. But it also made Xiao Shi have many guesses.

When Xiao Shi arrived at the altar and saw the other party’s appearance, he became even more certain of his guess. Because the other party’s appearance was extremely similar to the prince in terms of looks, giving him a very strong sense of familiarity.

Most importantly, he already knew that the Martial Emperor had a total of three children. One dead, one crippled, and one missing! He had already confirmed that the crippled person was the prince.

Then, this person…

Xiao Shi could not help but ask, “Senior, are you the one who died or the one who went missing?”

These words sounded a little strange. From the other party’s situation, it was indeed possible that he was the one who died. However, this kind of death was not a true death.

Yan Huagu understood what Xiao Shi meant. “I’m the missing one.”

Xiao Shi was enlightened and asked again, “Then, is the one who died… really dead?”

He now suspected that the other demigod who had yet to appear in the Tianwu Continent might be another descendant of the Martial Emperor. The prince who was already dead in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, Yan Huagu shook his head. “He’s already dead… It’s impossible for him to still be alive.”

This immediately made Xiao Shi frown. “Then, who is the other demigod in the Tianwu Continent?”

Yan Huagu’s expression suddenly became solemn. He sighed. “Before I tell you this person’s identity, I think you need to know how the Great Wu Empire collapsed back then.”

Xiao Shi nodded. Although he already knew that the death of the Martial Emperor was a calamity that all ninth-stage martial artists would face, he did not know many details about the collapse of the Great Wu Empire.

“Do you know that… the ninth realm of the Martial Dao is actually not the true end of the Martial Dao? That above the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, there is an even stronger realm?” Yan Huagu said in a deep tone.

However, just as he finished speaking, Xiao Shi nodded. “I know.” Checkk new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆lbin(.)com

Yan Huagu was stunned and asked uncertainly, “You do?”

“Yeah, at the end of the Martial Dao is the Martial God.” Xiao Shi said calmly.

Yan Huagu’s brows raised. He did not expect Xiao Shi to know this secret. This was a major secret that even the three demigod Heavenly Kings didn’t know. He originally thought that Xiao Shi would definitely be shocked after he revealed this secret.

However, Xiao Shi had long known this information. This shocked Yan Huagu. It was also a little awkward. “Ahem. Since you know, I don’t have to explain the ultimate end of martial arts to you. But what I want to tell you is that the Martial Emperor didn’t die from the calamity of the ninth realm of the Martial Dao.”

Xiao Shi’s heart trembled. He subconsciously exclaimed, “How is this possible!”

When he learned from the Martial Progenitor that all the ninth-level martial artists would face a calamity, he realized that the ninth-level martial artists of various eras would definitely die under the calamity.

Other than that, he could not think of anything in the world that could kill these ninth realm martial artists.

“If the Martial Emperor didn’t die in the calamity… then… then how did he die?”

Yan Huagu sighed. His expression became complicated. He said in a low voice, “Strictly speaking, the Martial Emperor… isn’t dead!”

Xiao Shi felt as if a hundred thousand lightning bolts had exploded in his brain. The Martial Emperor… didn’t die?! How was this possible! If the Martial Emperor hadn’t died, how could the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire have collapsed?

The era of Great Wu would not end either. It was even more impossible for him to have the emperor’s armor! Many things would become unreasonable. After all, the decline of the Great Wu Empire began with the death of the Martial Emperor.

“For most people, they don’t know that there’s a higher realm above the ninth realm, nor do they know that they will face a calamity after reaching the ninth realm. This is the greatest secret in the world.

“In the earliest eras, only existences who had reached the ninth realm of the Martial Dao would know this secret. But as the times developed, more and more people knew about this secret. Just like you, you knew this secret in advance.”
