Dominating Martial King

The Southern Pole Star Lord frowned, even more puzzled.

In the very next instant, he realized something, his pupils suddenly dilating.

"The Divine Contract Stele!"

It suddenly occurred to him that the core parts of the Divine Contract Stele were very likely now in Chu Xisheng’s hands.

Back then, the most crucial fragments of the Divine Contract Stele had been taken by the Yang God Tai Hao and the Time God Zhu Guangyin.

After Tai Hao fell, the pieces in his hands scattered across the Mortal World; as for those of the Time God Zhu Guangyin, although they were deeply buried within the Heavenly Candle Star, not long ago, the roots of the Wood Sword Immortal had already plunged into the Heavenly Candle Star.

And the Fire God Yanrong, the Water God Tiangong, and the Golden God Bai Zhu—these three Ancestor Gods who had recently revived—the fragments in their hands had also dispersed into the Mortal World.

The number of Divine Contract Heavenly Tablet Fragments in Chu Xisheng’s hand might already have reached a certain scale.

"So what if it has?"

The Southern Pole Star Lord further urged his Life Essence, extending more Wooden Hands outside his body: "The Heavenly Stele fragments in your hand are at most one-eighth of the total number of fragments."

The Divine Contract Stele was a Divine Artifact forged by the first Heavenly Emperor, reputed to be the "number one acquired treasure."

This thing was not only the Dharma Form Saint of the Contract Heaven Skill, but also the Dharma Form Saint of the Borrowing Heaven Skill! Through the power of contracts, it could borrow strength from the Gods who had left their names on the stele.

Back then, any of the All Gods with even a shred of status had been deceived by the first Heavenly Emperor into leaving their names and Divine Soul Imprints on the Divine Contract Stele; he, the Southern Pole, was no exception.

They had even lost a portion of their power to maintain the nine-layered Cloud Sky.

That vicious woman had actually used their own power to seal and restrict them, preventing them from entering the Mortal World as they pleased.

But with only one-eighth of the Heavenly Stele Fragments here in Chu Xisheng’s hands, what could he possibly do?

It was impossible for him to borrow any power from himself!

Yet in the next instant, he saw Chu Xisheng flick his sleeve, causing a gigantic stele to appear behind him.

The stele was wordless, about nine zhang tall, its whole body a deep black, floating in midair.

The Southern Pole Star Lord’s eyes grew even more doubtful. What was this thing?

It didn’t even look like the Divine Contract Stele; the true Divine Contract Stele wasn’t this large.

The true Divine Contract Stele had been refined from the most strengthening materials between Heaven and Earth, immortal and indestructible, second only to the Evil Exorcism Divine Thunder.

"Doesn’t really look like it, does it? But all the fragments I had have been fused into it."

Chu Xisheng raised his head and met the Southern Pole Star Lord’s gaze with hidden meaning: "The number of fragments I have is indeed a bit lacking, originally they couldn’t do anything to you, Southern Pole. I used to feel they were just chicken ribs, until not long ago I had an idea.

I don’t have to collect all the fragments; as long as I perfect the Forbidden Techniques and Divine Arrays within the Divine Contract Stele, I can further enhance its power, perhaps even approach completeness.

The key is, the core part of the Divine Contract Stele is in my hands. Then could the missing portion be replaced with sufficiently strengthening material, refined into a complete Divine Contract Stele? Even if the Forbidden Techniques and Divine Arrays we deduce ourselves are imperfect, even if this stele is a bit weaker, it doesn’t matter! Even if it’s merely a Lower Eternal Tier Divine Contract Stele, its Divine Might is vastly different from before.

As it happens, under my command I have enough sorcerers, and I have the capital to perform Mediate Creation. What ultimately came of it is this thing—yes, it’s a bit big, and not particularly durable. But all the functions a Divine Contract Stele should have have already been restored—"

In truth, it was nowhere near that simple. A dozen First Grade Mages could not possibly, in less than two months of preparation, deduce what a complete Divine Contract Stele should look like.

During the process of Mediate Creation, Chu Xisheng had also used his Lifebound Divine Artifacts and as many as one thousand Wish Stones to wish for the Divine Contract Stele to be restored to completeness to the greatest extent.

The Southern Pole Star Lord once again focused his mind on that stele, and his expression instantly changed drastically.

This little bastard had actually restored the Divine Contract Stele in such a way?

His first reaction was to immediately draw back and gather his own power, rather than wantonly venting and casting as he’d done before.

He had to ensure that none of his power could be borrowed by the other party—absolutely not!

Yet in the next moment, he saw Chu Xisheng’s hands form a Seal, and then mysterious and wondrous characters surfaced one after another on the surface of that Divine Contract Stele.

The Southern Pole Star Lord suddenly felt his entire body go empty, as though something inside him had been lost.

He immediately discovered that his Wooden Hands’ regeneration speed had already slowed, far inferior to before.

The Southern Pole Star Lord had originally been using Si Huangquan’s heart to interfere with and obstruct Si Huangquan’s transformation.

But in this instant, he lost the vast majority of his ability to interfere.

It was the Life Skill!

This bastard Chu Xisheng had already forcibly borrowed from him his Life Heavenly Rule of up to fifty-eight layers!

PS: My body’s been a bit unwell recently, the frozen shoulder and tenosynovitis still haven’t improved. Over these two months I, Kai Huang, want to nurse my health a bit, so updates will be slightly fewer. I hope everyone can understand.

As for Monthly tickets, just go with the flow; Kai Huang really has no face to ask for them now.

Of course, having Monthly tickets would still be even better, ▼ω▼.
