Chapter 423: Without That Bone, Shi Hao is Still Invincible! (Part 2)

An indescribably terrifying willow tree shadow flashed and disappeared.

Countless willow branches gathered, transforming into countless divine strikes, tearing through countless spaces!

The withered old man's eyebrows furrowed, his heart raced, and he instantly sensed something amiss.

This overwhelming power, this strength...

Was this still a junior who hadn't reached the Ninth Stage?

The Elder's Shock

How could he make himself feel like he was facing an opponent of equal cultivation, or even slightly stronger than himself?

"Hallucination!"

"It's all a hallucination!"

He didn't want to believe this was the truth, so he attacked with all his might, clashing with Shi Hao.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook.

The void shattered in an instant.

Shi Hao retreated.

But the withered elder flew backward at an even faster speed, the calm expression on his face disappearing, leaving only unimaginable shock.

"This..."

"How is this possible?"

"You, a junior, not even at the Ninth Stage..."

"Today's battle, I'll cut you down!"

"Such a conceited junior, do you think I'm made of clay and can be molded as you please?"

"Watch my move!"

The elder burst into action.

But he was a true ancient ancestor of the Shi Clan!

Not the kind that openly displayed their power, but one of the clan's hidden foundations.

Yet today, in full view of everyone, he was repelled and judged by a youth not even fifteen years old. How could he save face?

After living for so many years, he had never suffered such humiliation!

If he didn't suppress and even slay this youth, how could he ease the hatred in his heart? How could he remain calm?

He immediately unleashed his fury, using various secret techniques, even directly taking pills.

At this moment, nothing else mattered.

Only by crushing his opponent with overwhelming force could he regain some face.

In his eyes, although Shi Hao was strong, he must be relying on secret techniques and couldn't last long.

Moreover, he had already reached his limit earlier.

As long as he unleashed his full power, he could take down Shi Hao.

Although his talent was far inferior to Shi Hao's, his experience was still valuable, and his calculations were accurate. As he unleashed his power, he quickly gained the upper hand over Shi Hao.

The battle raged, stirring up countless laws and principles.

The sky was filled with dazzling phenomena, making people dizzy and unable to look directly.

During this process, Shi Hao gradually fell into a disadvantage, and by the end, he was continuously pushed back.

The ancient Shi Clan ancestor laughed loudly, "You're just a weakling!"

"You only know how to brag, but when it comes to fighting, you can't even handle an old man like me!"

He used his true killing move, aiming to decide the victor in one strike.

However, Shi Hao's expression remained unchanged. As this deadly attack hit, it almost wiped him out, but suddenly, countless fragments of time erupted from his chest!

Time fragments danced, and in an instant, they enveloped him.

Second Supreme Technique - Time Rewind!

It only affected himself!

His broken body seemed to heal in an instant, and Shi Hao moved backward, unleashing another terrifying attack.

The ancient Shi Clan ancestor was stunned.

"How is this possible?!"

"You?!!!"

He thought the battle was decided, but he never expected Shi Hao to suddenly recover and launch such a powerful attack. In this hurried moment, he could only barely defend himself.

"Why can't I do the same?"

Shi Hao remained calm, his attacks becoming more ferocious. "In my senior brother's words, you're just an old turtle!"

"Your experience is useless, and your intelligence is outdated."

"Moreover, you've lost your drive, and instead of daring to roam the Immortal Martial Continent to improve yourself, you hide away, hoping to reverse your fate through seclusion."

"In my eyes..."

"Such an old turtle doesn't even have the qualifications to be my opponent."

"Suppress me?!"

What was Shi Hao's temperament? Despite enduring countless hardships, these trials had forged his unyielding spirit.

With the guidance of the Willow Deity Technique, he cultivated an invincible belief.

What did it matter if there were countless strong cultivators in this world?

He would become invincible!

Whether it be a Saint Son or Divine Son, he would crush them with a single punch!

Those who had lost their drive and hid away, seeking to prolong their lives, were not worth his attention.

He would suppress an era and sweep away all enemies.

Ancient Clans? He would, in time, crush them!

"Break!!!

Shi Hao threw a punch, channeling all his power.

His vital energy surged, reaching the clouds, and the Heavenly Ring shone. His physical body's markings seemed alive, his back like a dragon's, and the Primitive True Solution appeared.

Even before this, Shi Hao could only display the first path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, but now, he was forced to display the second path.

It even merged with the Heavenly Tribulation Light!

Above, the ruined small tower descended.

Behind, the God-Slaying Stone flew over, wailing.

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!!!"

The ancient Shi Clan ancestor's heart sounded an alarm, sensing something amiss. He no longer cared about anything else and dodged at the first opportunity. He had become timid, even though he was at the eighth level of the Ninth Stage. But at this moment, he lacked the courage to face this onslaught!

"Weak old thief!"

"How pathetic!"

Shi Hao scoffed.

But...

Could he dodge it?!!!

The Heavenly Tribulation Light changed, transforming into Heaven's Hand, and it grabbed the old immortal.

Then, multiple attacks, accompanied by dazzling phenomena, struck the old man.

"Ah!!!"

The old man roared.

But he was instantly overwhelmed.

Boom!!!

An intense explosion erupted.

The shockwave spread, causing even the Shi Clan's Clan Formation to tremble and show faint cracks.

"Ancestor!"

The Second Ancestor and the others looked grim and rushed forward to rescue him.

The howling wind blew away the remnants of the explosion.

The laws and anomalies in the sky were swiftly dissipating.

Shi Hao stood high in the sky, his aura of dominance overwhelming.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Wow!"

The withered elder was covered in wounds, and a gaping hole in his abdomen made it possible to see right through him. Already resembling a dried-up corpse, he now looked utterly terrifying, as if he might turn to ashes and disperse at any moment.

He coughed up blood profusely, his eyes wide with fear as he looked at Shi Hao.

It was hard to imagine how such a young junior could possess such terrifying power.

The Third Ancestor stuttered, "Old Ancestor, this child is naturally a Supreme Being of our clan, but due to a twist of fate, he awakened the Second Supreme Technique, allowing him to manipulate time to a certain extent..."

"You?!"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

Upon hearing this, the old ancestor almost lost control and coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood.

Damn!

Such crucial information, and you tell me now?

Why didn't you wait until I was dead to tell me?

Then, can you burn some paper money for me?

What a rip-off, no, a rip-off to the old ancestor! You guys are...

"It's nothing."

"This long life, I fear, has lived on as a dog."

"Okay, okay!"

As the old ancestor swallowed pills and healed his injuries, he gritted his teeth, "A sharp-tongued brat, but I, the old ancestor, want to see just how long you can keep up your arrogance!"

In his anger, he was about to take action again, but someone stopped him.

Immediately, three figures appeared.

They stood before the Shi Clan members, appearing as ordinary people with no cultivation base or trace of Immortal Energy fluctuations. Yet, the traces of their incredibly long lives and experiences were so dense that they were almost overflowing.

"He's not your opponent."

The central elder spoke.

The old ancestor, who had been thoroughly defeated by Shi Hao, instantly turned red, his face full of wrinkles unable to hide the flush, "Brother, I... I didn't use my full strength."

"I was just careless."

"If I give it my all, I can easily suppress him!"

"Is that so?"

But the other elder sighed, "How can you be sure that this child has already used his full strength?"

He paused.

Then, 'Brother' sighed again, "Such terrifying talent, at such a young age, with such power... In the history of the Immortal Martial Continent, there might not be a second person like him."

"I've come to understand the grudges between you and the Shi Clan."

"All I can say is, it's fate."

"With your talent, you could have been the most brilliant Divine Son of our Shi Clan, and even with your Double Pupil, you might have been able to subdue us all."

"Unfortunately, there are no what-ifs."

"What else?" The Great Demigod snorted and stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shi Hao. In a cold voice, he said, "Everything is a result of your Shi Clan's choices, the old man's indulgence, and his reckless actions."

"The past is unchangeable, and the present is the consequence of those past actions."

"Today, we, grandfather and grandson, have come to settle this cause and effect!"

The other elder remained silent.

Then, he sighed, "How do you want this to end?"

"Do you think what you've done is enough?"

"I'm old, and I may not be able to continue leading the Shi Clan, even we old folks, won't be around for much longer. We'll grow old and pass on."

"Is it enough for you to return to the Shi Clan?"

"It's impossible!"

"It seems we've killed many, but they deserved it!"

"Not understanding right from wrong, not distinguishing between friend and foe, listening to others and taking action against us, what wrong have we done? The wrong is that my grandson was born a Supreme Being, born with Supreme Bones!"

"..."

"The past is the past, and the seeds of today's events have been sown. Talking about this now has no use." The current 'Supreme Ancestor' of the Shi Clan shook his head. "Tell me."

"How do you want us, grandfather and grandson, to let go of this matter?"

"Do you want to annihilate the Shi Clan?"

"It seems, you've come to understand. But in reality, you've always known this."

The Shi Clan, why have they become one of the three strongest ancient clans in the Northeast Domain, even showing signs of becoming the sole strongest clan? It's because their strength is sufficient! The few old ancestors handling daily affairs are not the real supreme ancestors!

The true supreme ancestors are the ones right in front of them, and some are still in seclusion and have yet to appear.

Those individuals, unless it's a matter of life and death for the Shi Clan, won't come out of seclusion.

Even those in front of them, are not ones they can handle.

The Great Demigod, though unaware of the exact number of Ninth Stage cultivators, Apex cultivators, or even Loose Immortals within the Shi Clan, is determined to cause a ruckus and kill indiscriminately!

He wants to seek justice for his family and Shi Hao.

As for truly annihilating the Shi Clan, he hasn't thought about it.

Insufficient strength!

He looked up and spoke to the 'Supreme Ancestor', "This matter, perhaps, shouldn't be asked of me."

"My lineage faced destruction and bullying from our own clan. My grandson had his bones dug out, his Supreme Blood taken, and his life was hanging by a thread. Where were you then?"

"When my son and daughter-in-law returned, they suddenly received terrible news. Holding their young child, they single-handedly sought revenge, and just as they were about to kill that venomous woman, they were stopped by their own clan, and could only flee in a sorry state. Where were you then?"

"When I broke through and returned, wanting to seek an explanation from our clan, these old things repeatedly protected and pressured. Where were you then?"

"As fellow clan members, I've been extremely patient."

"But you are disrespectful to the elders and unjust!"

"Do you want me to stop, for us, grandfather and grandson, to let go?"

"You're asking us how we can let go?"

"Shouldn't you be asking yourselves that question?"

Shi Hao nodded. "That's right!"

"This decision should be made by you yourselves."

"If you two are satisfied, we will leave and pretend that nothing happened."

"But if your true ancestors insist on protecting them, my grandson and I will not hesitate to fight to the death! But before that, your Shi Clan will suffer heavy losses!"

The Third Ancestor's eyes instantly turned red. "How dare you!"

"To speak so recklessly in front of the Supreme Ancestor?"

"Ancestors, please kill these two ungrateful, disloyal, and traitorous bastards who have betrayed our clan!"

"..."

However, the Supreme Ancestor remained calm and didn't bother to respond.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Indeed, the fault lies within the clan."

"But we were all in seclusion and unaware of the situation, so we couldn't stop it in time. It's our fault for not keeping a close watch over our subordinates. I take responsibility, and as compensation, I offer you two ten treasures each."

"Hehe."

The Great Demigod laughed, "Hahaha!"

"You don't know if it's because you're used to your high position, but here, your words carry no weight!"

"You?!"

The Ancestors' faces changed.

How arrogant!

However, the Supreme Ancestor gently raised his hand to silence them and said, "I understand. Words alone cannot make amends for countless mistakes."

"But this is my attitude."

He calmly stated, "As the current Supreme Ancestor of the Shi Clan, I should consider the entire clan and its development. In my opinion, fairness, justice, and harmony among the clan members."

"Someone made a mistake, and it's my fault for not stopping it in time. Apologizing is the right thing to do."

"But to make amends..."

He paused, "The first treasure vault of the clan, you two can each choose ten treasures. How about it?"

"After all, although the past events were unfair to you, your family hasn't suffered substantial losses. You're all still alive, and you live with some grievances and pain..."

"Hahaha, that's a nice way to put it!"

But Stone Qi didn't give an inch, "It's just some grievances, isn't it? Isn't it because of your suffering?"

"Whether it's ten, a hundred, or a thousand, even if it means emptying our vault, we will not let this go!"

The Ancestors frowned.

They believed that the grandfather and grandson were greedy.

However, one of the Ancestors was about to take action, but the Supreme Ancestor stopped him and said, "You were born with the Supreme title, but you had your bones dug out, causing a loss of divine nature equivalent to several years..."

"Bone for bone."

"Our Shi Clan also possesses a Supreme Bone of unknown origin, but it's incredibly remarkable. It's a complete Supreme Bone, and it holds a Supreme Treasure Art that can be called astonishing."

"I'm willing to give this bone to you for perfect fusion."

"How about it?"

The Great Demigod laughed and looked at Stone Qi.

He didn't speak.

This matter...

It concerned his grandson's strength and future!

He knew that although Stone Qi had his bones dug out, he had already regrown a second Supreme Bone, and the Second Supreme Art came from this. If he could obtain another Supreme Bone, he would possess two Supreme Bones and gain the 'Third Supreme Art'!

If this were the case, his strength would undoubtedly soar, and his future would be limitless.

What a pity!

However, Stone Qi couldn't make the decision, and he didn't even open his mouth.

Stone Qi had grown up.

It was time for him to make his own decisions!

"Hahaha."

Stone Qi roared towards the sky, "Supreme Bone?"

"You ask how the invincible Supreme Stone Qi was defeated? How could someone with the Double Pupil lose to me, a 'useless' person with dug-out bones?"

He muttered, "My master once said: The Double Pupil is an invincible path, why borrow another's bones?"

"And this saying applies to me as well!"

"My strength, Stone Qi, comes from my innate invincible belief, my master's cultivation, the guidance of the Willows, and the care of my fellow disciples."

"All my strength, I rely on my own hard work and adventures!"

"Even without that bone, I can still be invincible."

"Moreover, it's someone else's bone!"

"Hmph!"

He scoffed.

These people were underestimating him.

Did they think that possessing a Supreme Bone made them 'Supreme'? With his own Double Pupil, he didn't care about a mere Supreme Bone of others!

"How arrogant!" The Third Ancestor, deeply poisoned by arrogance, continued to shudder.

But the Great Demigod burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"

"Good!"

"Without that bone, I can still be invincible."

"This is my good grandson!"

"Did you hear that?"

"Supreme Ancestor, your conditions are not enough. We refuse!"

"..."

The Supreme Ancestor fell silent.

The two of them were so arrogant and reckless, but the Ancestors didn't get angry. Instead, they felt regret and bitterness.

What astonishing spirit!

Such great ambition!

With this confidence, as long as he didn't die, Stone Qi would surely become a saint and an ancestor, surpassing even the Ancestors.

What a pity!

Such an existence was forced into opposition.

Now, with their enmity, it was a shame they couldn't reconcile.

What a pity!
