Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Shi could vaguely sense that the secret of the Martial Progenitor’s “death” was not only related to the Martial Progenitor himself, but also to a ninth-stage expert like the Martial Emperor in the future.

Xiao Shi had always had a question in his heart. How did the Martial Emperor die? Logically speaking, for existences like the Martial Progenitor and the Martial Emperor who had already reached the peak of the Martial Dao, no one in the world could threaten them. Unless their lifespan was about to end, it was impossible for them to die.

However, the Martial Emperor was not the only one who died. The ninth realm of the Martial Dao in all eras seemed to have fallen. Otherwise, their era would not have ended. Now that he knew that even the Martial Progenitor was facing such a “death”, Xiao Shi was basically certain that at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao,

There must be a secret that no one knew about!

This made Xiao Shi hold his breath and listen carefully.

“The reason why I’m like this is because of the Great Tribulation.” The Martial Progenitor let out a sigh.

“Great Tribulation?” Xiao Shi was stunned.

“That’s right.” The Martial Progenitor nodded with a grave expression. “In fact, the ninth realm of martial arts is not the true end of martial arts. According to my understanding of your future era, 1 know that in the different eras in the future, many ninth realms of martial arts have appeared. Some of these ninth realms call themselves Martial Venerable, some call themselves Martial King, and some call themselves Martial Emperor. However, no one has ever dared to call themselves the Martial God. Do you know why?”

Xiao Shi shook his head.

“Because God… is the true end of martial arts!” The Martial Progenitor said seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately caused a shocking wave in Xiao Shi’s mind. He did not expect that the ninth realm of the Martial Dao was actually not the end of martial arts!

The true end of martial arts was God! In fact, one could tell from the fact that the eighth realm of martial arts was called a demigod. One could tell from the name that a demigod wouldn’t have the title of a demigod if there weren’t any gods.

However, Xiao Shi did not expect that even the ninth realm of the Martial Dao could not become a god.

“To be precise, the ninth realm of martial arts is actually still a demigod, but it’s infinitely close to a god. To reach the end and become a Martial God, one still needs to take the last step. But this step is extremely difficult to cross. You have to survive the Great Tribulation to become a god!” The Martial Progenitor sighed.

“So Senior, you became a living dead during the Great Tribulation?” Xiao Shi asked.

The Martial Progenitor nodded. Xiao Shi completely understood now. No wonder the Martial Emperor and the ninth realm of martial arts in every era had fallen. None of them could survive the great calamity and become Martial Gods.

In other words, no one had been able to reach the true end of martial arts.

“What kind of tribulation is this?” Xiao Shi asked curiously.

The Martial Progenitor shook his head. “This tribulation is indescribable. If you can reach the ninth realm of the Martial Dao one day, you will naturally know. Although 1 didn’t die under this tribulation, I became a living dead. 1 need a huge amount of luck to revive.

“Even after 1 revive, I no longer have the chance to break through to the Martial God Realm. I will stay at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao for the rest of my life. Everyone only has one chance at the Martial God Realm.”

Xiao Shi understood and realized that the tribulation that the ninth realm of the Martial Dao would experience was equivalent to a life and death division to a certain extent, If he could survive the Great Tribulation, he could reach the true end of martial arts and become a Martial God. However, if he could not survive the Great Tribulation, he would die.

In terms of results, most of the ninth realm martial artists in the other eras had already died in the Great Tribulation. There was only a special existence like the Martial Progenitor, that’s why he was not completely dead.

Xiao Shi was very shocked. He knew very well that even the demigods in the Tianwu Continent might not know the information he had come into contact with. This was a secret that only existences at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao could come into contact with.

After knowing this secret, it successfully resolved many of Xiao Shi’s doubts. Most importantly, this allowed Xiao Shi to see the true end of martial arts.

“Martial God…” Xiao Shi could clearly feel the weight of these two words. Now that he understood everything, it was time to revive the Martial Progenitor.

Even though the fate of the Great Wu Empire was very important to him and would affect the formation of the next era, it isn’t really up to him anymore. He could definitely only use the fate of the Great Wu Empire to help the Martial Progenitor revive.

Firstly, he could obtain the friendship of the Martial Progenitor. In the next 200 years, he could basically do whatever he wanted in the Beginner Martial Era. Secondly, the Martial Progenitor also said that if Xiao Shi could help him revive, he could help Xiao Shi achieve the Heavenly Dao.

The Dao Ancestor also told Xiao Shi that if the Martial Progenitor personally helped him form the Heavenly Dao, his Heavenly Dao would be far stronger than ordinary Heavenly Dao. After all, the Martial Progenitor was the leader of the entire Beginner Martial Era. The Heavenly Dao formed by him would be very different from ordinary Heavenly Dao.

Xiao Shi had no reason to refuse when he’s able to exchange the fate of the Great Wu Empire for such benefits.

However, the current problem was, if he wanted to use the fate of the Great Wu Empire to revive the Martial Progenitor, he had to first do some special treatment to these fates so that the Martial Progenitor could accommodate these fates of the Great Wu Empire..
