Chapter 424: Emperor of the Heaven-Vanquishing! Shi Hao Dominates the Shi Clan! (Part 1)
2024-09-20
"What a bold move."
The Supreme Ancestor let out a helpless smile.
"Then..."
"Little Third." He pointed at the Third Ancestor, "Although he wasn't the mastermind behind this matter, if it weren't for his protection, things wouldn't have escalated to that point."
"What if I offer his death as compensation to you?"
The Third Ancestor was stunned.
(ΩДΩ)?!
Damn, how did this get dragged onto me?!
And they want me to compensate them with my death?!
Why should I?!
"Supreme Ancestor!"
The Third Ancestor hurriedly spoke up, "You can't do this! They are the ungrateful ones in our clan. Over the years, I have been loyal to the clan, making countless contributions. I have fought for the Shi Clan, and I have shed blood for the Shi Clan!"
"If you handle this, won't it dishearten the clan?"
"Dishearten the clan..."
The Supreme Ancestor's expression gradually turned cold, "His grandson, including their entire lineage, were they not once our clan members? Your actions have thoroughly disheartened them, leading to today's outcome."
"If you had stopped this matter immediately after learning about it, instead of protecting them, and handled it fairly and justly, removing the bone from Stone Qi's chest and returning it, then dealing with the involved parties, would there be such dire consequences today?!"
"Don't you know you're wrong?"
"Me?!"
The Third Ancestor's face turned deathly pale, but he didn't believe he was in the wrong at all. He retorted, "I'm not wrong!"
"How am I at fault?!"
"Everything I did was for the sake of the clan! The achievements of the Twin-Pupil Practitioner are destined to surpass the Young Supreme, and our clan doesn't need two Supremes!"
"Using him to support the Twin-Pupil Practitioner will only make the latter even more invincible, becoming the Invincible Supreme. Only he can lead our Shi Clan to greater heights!"
"Everyone knew about this matter, and it was already concluded. If the bone is returned now, it's one thing whether Stone Hao can raise him, but Stone Qi will definitely suffer a severe injury."
"Why should I let them have it back?"
"Everything I did was for the Shi Clan, for the future of our clan."
"I'm not wrong!"
His expression was agitated, and he roared loudly.
"Hahaha."
Stone Hao laughed.
He burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came to his eyes.
"Well said, you're not wrong. Well said, everything you did was for the Shi Clan. You're truly selfless and admirable."
"But have you ever thought that it's my bone, my possession?"
"Using my bone to be generous on your behalf, in your name? For the Shi Clan?"
"What are you?"
"My bone, I decide its fate. Even if I feed it to the dogs, it's better than letting that old fool use it to be 'generous.' It's better than you stirring up trouble here, spouting nonsense in the name of the clan."
"Disgusting!"
The Great Demigod even spat in disgust beside him.
The Third Ancestor was furious, roaring repeatedly, wanting to refute, but he was unable to even open his mouth as he was bound by a wave of the Supreme Ancestor's hand.
"He's gone mad."
"Claiming to do everything for the clan, but in reality, it's all for his personal gain. The clan doesn't need people like him."
Boom!
As his words fell, the Third Ancestor exploded, annihilating both body and soul.
The Great Demigod laughed.
He laughed and sneered, showing his disdain.
Well said!
The clan doesn't need people like him?
Although he was a 'hot-headed fool', he understood that every power needed people like this to maintain control.
And they needed them too much!
But these people were the dark side of every power, never to be exposed.
Like maggots in the dark.
Almost every power needed these maggots to do their dirty work, but they would never put them in the spotlight because everyone had their pride.
Of course, those pure demonic sects were an exception.
For the demonic sects...
Pride?
Pah!
Damn it, being in the spotlight is having pride!
We've done so many great things, if we hide them, wouldn't it be like walking in the night with a golden robe? How could that be? Of course, we should proclaim each deed, preferably for everyone to know!
But the Shi Clan still had its pride, and it wasn't a demonic sect.
If this matter hadn't escalated, the Third Ancestor could have continued living comfortably as the old ancestor.
Even if it had escalated, as long as things were handled cleanly, and Stone Hao and the others were all dead, it wouldn't matter.
But the problem was...
Things had escalated!
Stone Hao's family was still alive!
Most importantly, they were all so strong!
This...
Sealed the Third Ancestor's fate.
So, the Great Demigod wasn't the least bit surprised by the Third Ancestor's death, only sneering repeatedly.
Even Stone Hao was only momentarily surprised, just for a fleeting moment, before he calmed down, "Quite a show."
"Indeed, quite a show, but it's not enough." The Great Demigod continued the conversation.
"..."
"Not enough?!"
An apex cultivator beside the Supreme Ancestor spoke coldly, "The wrongdoers have been identified."
"Stone Qi and his mother are dead, the Yu Clan has been annihilated, and the Little Third, as the protector, has also been personally executed by the Supreme Ancestor, annihilating both body and soul. He even promised to compensate for your losses."
"Still, you want to take advantage of the situation?!"
"Well said, taking advantage of the situation."
The Great Demigod chuckled, "But are you saying we're fools who don't know better?"
"You make it sound nice, but you didn't know about the matter at all?"
"But I don't believe you. I don't think not a single one of you knew."
"In the end, it's just that no one openly supported, but you were all 'silent' accomplices."
"But accomplices are still accomplices."
"Supreme Ancestor, weren't you just asking how we could let go of the grudges from back then?"
"Now, I've thought of something."
The Great Demigod's expression gradually turned solemn as he stared at the Supreme Ancestor, emphasizing each word, "I should have known about this matter from the start, yet I did nothing, and even became an accomplice..."
"All of you! Annihilate your physical forms and souls!"
"If you can do that, then on top of the previous conditions, our grandfather and grandson will consider this matter as if it never happened."
"You?!"
In an instant, most of the Ancestors became furious.
Especially the 'Regular Ancestors'.
How could they possibly not know?!
Aside from the Seventh Ancestor, who initially didn't speak up and even secretly aided the Third Ancestor, they all tacitly accepted this matter.
If they agreed to such conditions, wouldn't they have to kill them all?!
Moreover, there were still many people below.
If they started killing, wouldn't it lead to a massacre and a river of blood?
How could this be?!
The Supreme Ancestor frowned, "This condition is a bit too much."
Another Apex Cultivator angrily said, "Just now, you said that even without the Supreme Bone, one could still be invincible in the world, and you looked down on others' bones. Now, you want it again?"
"Of course, I look down on it."
Shi Hao calmly replied, "But if you dig out my bones, it's only right to compensate me."
"Moreover, just because I look down on it doesn't mean I don't want it."
"I have a little friend who is a monkey, and I think he would be interested."
"Even if he doesn't want it, I can still feed it to the dogs. What dog doesn't like bones? What do you think?"
"You're being utterly arrogant!"
The Ancestors present instantly flew into a rage.
Even the Supreme Ancestor, who had been trying to reason with them, furrowed his brows, and his formidable aura began to spread, "That's too much."
"You..."
"It's indeed going too far."
"Is that too much?"
Shi Hao scoffed, "After killing those who harmed me and offering additional compensation, is that too much?"
"It seems you haven't thought of a proper solution."
"Compensation can be given, but the responsible parties are already dead. If you insist on digging deeper, how many of the Shi Clan will be left?"
"As the Supreme Ancestor of the Shi Clan, I should uphold justice for you, but I can't disregard the entire Shi Clan's future just for your family."
He was well aware that if he killed them all, too many people would be implicated, and the consequences would be severe!
It would definitely lead to a massacre, and by then, the Shi Clan would be left crippled.
Even if these top-tier elders were still around, the number of people below would be reduced by half or even more...
What's the point of that?
With a weakened foundation, how could they rely solely on their heritage?
Hereditary power could also die out or ascend.
The Shi Clan had enemies, and it was unlikely that their opponents wouldn't take advantage of this opportunity to kick them while they were down.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to agree to this matter.
"So what?"
"Is it our family's doing?"
Shi Hao glared coldly, "The cause was planted by them, and the consequences should naturally be borne by them!"
"Spare those who spare you, after all, we are of the same clan..." The Supreme Ancestor wanted to persuade them further.
"Don't preach kindness to others if you haven't experienced it yourself!"
"I thought there would be someone in the Shi Clan willing to reason, but now it seems that although you are slightly stronger than them, you are also limited. The only way..."
Shi Hao raised his hand, slightly separating his index finger from his thumb, "Just a little bit."
"..."
The Supreme Ancestor fell silent.
Then, he sighed, "So... there's no room for negotiation?"
"You two should think it through. I'm talking to you because of your exceptional talent and the fact that you are of the Shi Clan's bloodline. But you're pushing us too hard and not letting go even when you're in the right..."
"If we really start fighting, you won't be able to leave the Shi Clan."
"Hahaha!"
The Great Demigod burst into laughter, "What a twisted logic!"
"You're talking to us because we're of the same clan, or is it because we still have some strength left?"
"If we were weak, would you have shown up? Would you have reasoned with us?"
"Nonsense!"
"You wouldn't have appeared if we were weak, and you wouldn't have cared if we were crushed to death. You wouldn't have even noticed, let alone cared about our injuries. Do you really think that by coming out to uphold justice at this moment, you represent 'righteousness'?"
"In fact, you're no different from them."
"Still pushing us and not letting go even when you're in the right? If I let you have your way, what's the point of having the 'right'?"
"If I don't let you have your way, does that mean I should let you push me around?"
"What a joke!"
The negotiation had fallen apart, but it didn't matter.
The Great Demigod had already prepared for this outcome. Even if he died today, he was determined to seek justice for his son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
As for the safety of his grandson, Shi Hao...
He had already made thorough preparations.
Today, he might die in battle here, but Shi Hao could leave safely.
Whether he lived or died didn't matter.
What was important was to make the Shi Clan suffer, to make these high and mighty Ancestors realize that not everyone was willing to be corrupted like them.
Some things were worth fighting for, even if it meant death.
"So there's no room for negotiation?"
The Supreme Ancestor sighed again.
"There was never any room for negotiation."
"Indeed, there was never any room for negotiation!"
The grandfather and grandson both expressed their stance.
"You're truly arrogant."
Two Apex Cultivators beside the Supreme Ancestor stepped forward, and their auras burst forth.
Meanwhile, the Ancestor who had been severely injured by Shi Hao earlier secretly rejoiced.
Just now, he had felt extremely aggrieved.
He had thought that he would have to offer a grand gift and reconcile with Shi Hao and his grandfather. If that were the case, how would he deal with his own grievances? Would his beating and injuries have been in vain? Thankfully...
It seemed that reconciliation was not possible, and now with two Apex Cultivators taking action, the grandfather and grandson were undoubtedly doomed.
The two Ancestors simultaneously lunged forward, attacking Shi Hao and his grandson. At the same time, they roared, "Since you don't understand the principles, and even when given a chance, you don't know how to cherish it, hmph."
"No room for negotiation? Then, let's not negotiate!"
They made their move, and the sky was instantly filled with their attacks.
Shi Hao and his grandson retaliated immediately.
But just at that moment...
Boom! The heavens shook, as if everything had frozen for a moment.
"Sword Twenty-Three!"
Xu Feng appeared, and although he only froze time for an instant, it was enough to successfully buy some time.
Randomly, Xiao Ling'er and YaYa simultaneously took action, using their astonishing power to block the attacks of these two Apex Cultivators from the Shi Clan. They then stood in front of Shi Hao.
"Well done, Shi Clan. Not only do you not understand principles, but you also slander my junior brother for the same. Now, you even want to bully the weak and gang up on the few?"
The Great Demigod was stunned.
Shi Hao scratched his head, "Senior Sister, you... how did you get here?"
"Moon-Intercepting Sect." The Supreme Ancestor of the Shi Clan frowned, "This is our family matter; what does it have to do with you?"
"Family matter?"
Xiao Ling'er responded with anger, "If I remember correctly, they are no longer part of the Shi Clan. Moreover, when you dealt that poisonous blow, did you ever consider their family?"
"Now, Shi Hao is a disciple of the Moon-Holding Sect, and Senior Brother Great Demigod is our Offering."
"We are family."
"You old stubborn fools." Wang Teng arrived and immediately scolded, "Bullying the weak, bullying our family, you're right about that. This is indeed our family matter!"
"Hmph!"
"Junior Brother, don't worry." Su Yan arrived, glaring at the Shi Clan crowd, "Today, fight boldly, kill without hesitation!"
"If the heavens fall, we'll block them for you!"
Swish, swish, swish!
One by one, figures appeared.
The last to arrive was Tianna, holding an old turtle.
They appeared, forming a battle line with Shi Hao and the others. The astonishing auras combined, like a raging flood and beast, relentlessly assaulting the Shi Clan crowd!
The sky was filled with dazzling anomalies.
Thunder rumbled!
The Talented Youth Rankings, the Little Pagoda, the Broken Sword, the Bronze Mask, and other treasures soared, emitting immortal light...
"You, from the Moon-Holding Sect."
The Supreme Ancestor's gaze was icy, and he said, "Are you sure you want to stir up this muddy water?"
YaYa's face turned cold, "Bullying my family, and you remain so calm, even threatening us? Truly remarkable."
"However, I'd like to return those words to you as is."
"You old folks, are you sure you want to be stubborn and make a mistake to the very end?"
"Reverse the Heaven-Defying Array!"
The Ancestor, who had reached the Eighth Stage of the Ninth Stage, had mostly recovered. Seeing a group of young people from the early stages of the Ninth Stage, and some not even at the Ninth Stage, acting so arrogantly, he instantly flew into a rage.
"Mere ants, thinking they're invincible just because they're on the Talented Youth Rankings?"
"Talented Youths are still just that, and only those who grow into true Talented Youths can be considered so?"
"Today, you will perish here!"
"Is that so?"
In Wang Teng's hand, a pitch-black sphere spun wildly, "Just afraid you don't have the ability."
"Since it's like that."
The Supreme Ancestor sighed, "There's only one way—a battle."
"Battle!"
At Xiao Ling'er's command, a fierce battle erupted.
Xiao Ling'er blocked one of the Apex Cultivators.
YaYa blocked the other.
The Ancestor at the Eighth Stage of the Ninth Stage was also very powerful, but Wang Teng took the initiative to confront him. Without any hesitation, he suddenly appeared behind his opponent using the Xing Character Secret Technique, and in his hand, the Black Sphere pressed down on the opponent's waist!
Boom! A black hole appeared...
"Supreme Self-Respect Divine Art!"
"Path Severing Technique!"
YaYa unleashed her power.
Although she wasn't the protagonist, she was even more formidable!
The only one who can truly rival the protagonist."
Moreover, with Lin Fan's guidance, her growth far surpassed the 'original story'. Now, although she had just entered the Second Stage of the Ninth Stage, her strength exceeded everyone's imagination!
Boom! In the sky above, the Talented Youth Rankings shone with sacred light, and Xiao Ling'er's name hung at the peak. Nine types of exotic fires erupted, and the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations had already been displayed.
Three Thousand Thunder Illusions appeared endlessly, temporarily delaying the opponent.
Meanwhile, her true self formed the seals, Heaven and Earth, Flame Emperor True Body!
Boom! A towering flame giant stood in the sky, and in his hands, ten-colored exotic fires burned fiercely.
"As my master instructed, I created a higher-level Burning Flame Technique. Currently, I still have a long way to go, but... Buddha's Wrath Lotus, I have already taken it to the next level."
Boom, boom, boom! The ten-colored flames leaped, struggled, and reacted violently in the giant's hands.
But under his control, they were forcibly merged and constantly changed shape.
Then, a ten-colored lotus filled with destructive aura quietly took form.
"Destruction Lotus!"
Almost simultaneously.
All Three Thousand Thunder Illusions exploded, and countless bolts of lightning gathered in an instant, forming an 'electric net' that trapped the opponent for a moment.
In that instant, the Flame Emperor True Body attacked, and the terrifying Destruction Lotus descended upon the opponent!
