After the perfect opening, I joined the chat group

Chapters 289 and 298: The reckoning begins, a bloody massacre.
The trial of the Stone King?

Us?
The people inside the Imperial Pass were filled with terror at this moment.

A group of supreme beings?
To judge a Celestial King?
The entire Imperial Pass remained silent, silent, and still silent...

People continued to emerge from the original imperial city.

A ragged child, an old man whose life is nearing its end.

The elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

A city inhabited only by the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

"Ancestor!"

Those people also came out from the Stone Clan tribe in Diguan.

The Stone Clan within the Imperial Pass were the same, consisting of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, all dressed in rags.

The two groups of people gazed at each other from afar, their eyes filled with warm tears.

Neither side expected that their first meeting with their own people would turn out like this.

The people on one side are worse off than the people on the other side.

Countless people wept bitterly.

The people of Diguan have harbored resentment towards their ancestors countless times...

Did I resent them for making such a big mistake?
They must atone for their sins for countless lifetimes.

Now that they see this new lineage of their ancestors, they realize that their ancestors had never betrayed them.

They have even been fighting for them all along.

……

The people of the original Imperial Pass also believed that they had protected their kinsmen behind them very well...

Now we see this scene.

Their hearts were breaking.

What was the purpose of their long-term dedication?
Countless tears flowed.

An oppressive atmosphere filled the entire venue.

Seeing this group of old, weak, sick and disabled people gathered together, no one in the Imperial Pass dared to make a sound.

In the minds of countless people.

Just one idea.

“Very spicy!”

……

At this moment, the Stone King's anger was burning fiercely, and the entire world was changing with his mood.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, a fierce wind blew, and even the stars in the sky dimmed.

The Celestial King was enraged.

The heaven and earth shook.

"I, the Stone King, have returned. Who says I am guilty? Who convicts me?"

His voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Is this your Demon Dragon Sect?"

As soon as those words were spoken, countless people were momentarily stunned, and then suddenly found themselves in the sky...

From supreme powerhouses to minor cultivators at the Blood-Transfer level.

Nothing is left out.

Everything appeared here.

The members of the Demon Dragon Sect looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear, and countless voices begged for mercy.

"Senior, please spare our lives... It's not our will, but an order from the sect..."

"That's how it's recorded in the sect's ancient books... We were unaware of this!"

The chaotic noise was irritating.

Just for a moment.

Everyone was then muted.

"Is this your Sword Valley?"

Stone King ignored them and continued calling out names.

Another large group of people appeared here, forced to kneel on the ground, unable to speak.

Fear filled the eyes of countless people.

"Or are you from your Immortal Palace?"

Another large group of people appeared.

The voice of the Stone King was like a roll call, and batches of people kept appearing here, forced to kneel on the ground.

A moment's work.

The entire void was densely packed with kneeling people.

Among them are many masters at the Supreme Escape Realm.

"The most crucial ones are...you!"

The Celestial King extended a giant hand, reaching into the void, whereupon a terrifying power erupted.

"what!"

"Stone King, spare our lives! We are willing to atone for our sins and serve the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

"Now that a great calamity is about to begin, King Shi is merciful and should prioritize the greater good. Please give us a chance to atone for our sins!"

The mournful sound echoed throughout the entire heavens and earth.

The owner of these sounds is self-evident.

Exactly.

Damn immortal!

The immortals who hid in the Immortal Palace and other forces.

These people knew the truth back then, but instead of coming forward to explain, they deliberately suppressed the situation.

Those forces are nothing more than their gloves.

How could the Celestial King possibly let them go?

A True Immortal—how powerful must they be?
A single word can resonate throughout the heavens and the earth.

Even a crippled immortal could easily slay a supreme being.

And now.

They couldn't stir up the slightest trouble in front of the Stone King, the Celestial King.

A being of true immortal level is now suppressed here, kneeling before the Stone King.

His face was filled with fear.

"Has the struggle with the Kunpeng lineage blinded you to the bloodshed?"

The Stone King looked at the crippled immortals before him, especially the crippled immortals in the Immortal Palace, his words filled with anger.

"Stone King, we have been deceived and know we were wrong. Please give us a chance to fight against the great calamity!"

The remnant immortal of the Immortal Palace hurriedly begged for mercy.

Before the Stone King could speak, Shi Jian chuckled disdainfully from the side.

"A crippled immortal, terrified by foreign lands, still wants to atone for his sins and fight against the great calamity? In the end, won't he just surrender on the battlefield and run away?"

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die!"

“Ancestors… kill them all. If people like that can deal with foreign lands, then it’s utterly ridiculous!”

A cruel smile appeared on Shi Jian's lips.

"I possess a divine power here called the Great Bloodline Technique. It is through this technique that I established a connection with you. This technique uses bloodline as a medium; when one attains enlightenment, even one's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"

"If you refine all these people into my Stone Clan's bloodline, then my Stone Clan's bloodline will become a hundred or a thousand times stronger, and everyone will be like a dragon!"

"Consider this compensation for the persecution these forces have inflicted upon my Stone Clan for countless generations..."

Shi Jian pointed with his fingertip and then passed on the Great Bloodline Technique to the Stone King.

Upon hearing Shi Jian's words, Shi Wang initially thought that this junior had fallen into evil ways and was practicing heretical magic.

Listen to Shi Jian's description.

This is a bizarre and cruel method.

That would definitely be against the natural order.

There may be hidden dangers.

It might make the Stone Clan prosperous in the short term, but in the long run, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

This can't be done!

Just as Shi Wang was about to speak to admonish Shi Jian, his expression suddenly froze.

This Great Bloodline Technique does seem to have some merit?

seem.

It's not some crooked or evil practice?
Upon careful deduction, the Stone King gasped in shock.

This is a damn broad road!

Great Bloodline Technique?

Could there really be such terrifying supernatural powers and techniques in this world?
Even though the Stone King was knowledgeable, he recognized the power of this Great Bloodline Technique after only a few glances.

This is definitely a technique above the level of a Celestial King.

The methods were a bit cruel, but the technique itself was flawless.

The Stone King looked at the many powerful figures kneeling before him, and then at the many old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the Stone Clan.

If I were to use these people as a guide to cultivate the Great Bloodline Technique, and then use their cultivation to nourish the bloodline of the Stone Clan.

The Stone Clan will surely rise to power.

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone can be like a dragon!
The Stone King made a decision: "I, the Stone King of the Stone Clan, have lost countless sons in this era to defend the borderlands and fight against foreign lands... I never expected that the Stone Clan would be slandered as a sinful bloodline... I demand an explanation!"

His voice shook the heavens and the earth, and those kneeling on the ground were terrified, their eyes filled with fear.

"Those who know the truth, those whose blood is stained with the blood of the Stone Clan—die!"

"Those who are unaware of the truth and have not been stained with the blood of the Stone Clan, may remain at the Imperial Pass and live!"

Cold words were spoken.

As his words fell, those powerful figures kneeling on the ground exploded one after another, turning into a bloody mist.

The Stone King had the power to wipe them out with a single thought, but he chose to let them die one by one.

Feel fear.

After these powerful cultivators died, their blood surged forth and flowed into the void...

Stone King began to use these bloodlines to cultivate the Great Bloodline Technique!

Once the Great Bloodline Technique is mastered, the cultivation bloodline of these individuals will become nourishment for the Stone Clan's bloodline, nourishing every member of the Stone Clan!

The people from all the major factions had lost their former composure, leaving only a disheveled state, with deep fear in everyone's eyes.

They had initially thought that the Stone King might consider the bigger picture and spare their lives...

But I didn't expect it.

The Stone King acted so decisively against them.

Celestial God Realm, Void Path Realm, Self-Severing Realm...

One master after another died, and their bodies became nourishment for the Great Bloodline Technique.

Which of these people doesn't usually look down on the Stone Clan and the Sin Clan?

With a single word, he decided the fate of the Stone Clan.

but now.

They were terrified and pathetic, like dogs.

One by one, they went to their deaths.

This scene chilled countless people in the Imperial Pass to the bone.

Some even felt that the Stone King was too cruel, as these were the main forces fighting against the alien realm...

But so what?

When those forces dealt with the Stone Clan, they chose to remain silent.

Now that the Stone King has returned, he will deal with these forces...

They dared not utter a sound!
Shi Jian was quite satisfied with this scene...

Fortunately, the Stone King was not pedantic.

If he's stupid enough to consider the bigger picture and not stand up for the Stone Clan...

Then Shi Jian will forget his roots.

But the good thing is.

Shi Wang isn't that brain-dead.

Shi Jian looked toward the Imperial Pass and at the people inside.

A gentleman does not lie.

But a wise person will remain silent.

But can someone who remains silent be considered a gentleman?

A great calamity is about to befall us, and many people are panicking.

Many people were prepared to die in battle.

But they didn't expect that.

Before the foreign invasion even began, the Imperial Pass had already suffered heavy losses.

How many cult leaders have died?
How many gods have died?

Too much is too much.

countless.

Countless.

But this is what Imperial Pass has to endure.

This is what they have to endure since they condemned the Stone Clan and other races as sinners.

Among the dead.

There must have been some tragic deaths.

Some people died innocently.

They shouldn't have died at the hands of their own people, but rather died a glorious death on the battlefield.

but.

So what?
Shi Jian didn't care.

Weren't the people of the Stone Clan who died innocent?
Aren't the deaths of the Stone Clan members a pity?
The hatred accumulated by the Stone Clan over millions of years...

Shouldn't they pay with blood?

When Meng Tianzheng and the middle-aged sage saw this scene, they looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.

From the moment the middle-aged men heard about the Stone King, they sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

As it turns out.

The situation unfolded as they had anticipated.

Too many people died.

The two couldn't bear to watch.

Among those who died were those who fought alongside them.

Some people made great contributions to protect the imperial pass.

They wanted to plead for leniency.

But he couldn't bring himself to speak.

It's not just because of the Stone King.

Also because of the old, weak, sick and disabled members of the Stone Clan.

In terms of merit, whose merit can compare to that of the Stone King and those people of the Stone Clan?
Who made heroes bleed and weep?
They dared not offer advice, and could not bring themselves to do so.

……

While killing people, Stone King was also comprehending the Great Bloodline Technique.

The more you understand.

The more he felt this technique was amazing, the more incredible it seemed.

Once the cultivation and bloodline of those who died reached a certain level, the Stone King waved his hand and activated the Great Bloodline Technique to absorb them!

A divine light emanated from his forehead.

Great Bloodline Technique.

It resonated in some way with the "sinful blood" of the Stone Clan.

An invisible wave swept out.

Suddenly, all the Stone Clan members shuddered, and their blood and qi erupted.

Whether it was an elderly person whose blood and energy were depleted, or a child who was just learning to speak, an amazing aura burst forth from their body!

"This technique can actually make the bloodline of my clansmen move closer to my Immortal King bloodline?"

"If I alone become an Immortal King, countless members of my clan can also become Immortal Kings through bloodline?"

Shi Wang gasped.

Under the resonance of the Great Bloodline Technique, the true blood within countless clansmen was revived...

Each of them underwent astonishing changes.

The lines on their foreheads became clearer.

There's a saying about the lines on the forehead of the Stone Clan: the stronger one's talent and potential, the more complete the lines on their forehead.

Promotes the flow of qi and blood.

Qi and blood can collapse like clouds.

The ability to break through the clouds with qi and blood is something only the top geniuses of the Stone Clan can achieve.

And now.

Almost all the Stone Clan members had runes on their foreheads that emitted a brilliant light, and the patterns that appeared were no longer just one or two horizontal lines.

It is a complete character.

His blood and energy surged to the heavens.

The clouds burst open.

Every single person...

All of these are signs of qi and blood collapse.

It's not just the Stone Clan people at the Imperial Pass.

Even in that sinful state
The same applies to the people of Lower Stone Village.

Countless people experienced a resurgence of their bloodline, with their aptitude and potential soaring upwards.

This is the Great Bloodline Technique.

One person attains enlightenment...

Even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Since the Stone King possesses the cultivation level of an Immortal King, he can naturally be considered to have obtained it.

Shi Jian's bloodline also underwent some changes, his strength increased, and he gained some benefits.

However, this benefit is only the most basic.

to him.

The true benefits of this great bloodline technique will only become apparent when he breaks through to the Immortal King realm...

There exists a Celestial King named Stone King.

With the aid of the Great Bloodline Technique, Shi Jian will find breaking through to the Immortal King realm much easier...

Seeing the changes in his people, the Stone King became even more excited.

This method is somewhat cruel.

It has a bit of the magic of the demonic path in it.

But as long as it works well, that's all that matters.

Once he has completely refined these people, the Stone Clan's talent will reach an even higher level.

At that time, every member of the Stone Clan will be an unparalleled genius...

It is not impossible for one clan to suppress foreign lands.

As for these people...

If you die, you die...

Seeing the expression on Shi Wang's face, Shi Jian's lips curled into a slight smile.

A picture formed in my mind

"Stone King, you have killed so many experts from the Imperial Pass. How will the Imperial Pass resist the alien realm?"

Upon hearing this, the Stone King smiled faintly, took a step forward, and then loudly proclaimed:
"It's very simple... I, the Stone Clan, can simply become a Venerable One, can't I?"

After he finished speaking, he no longer concealed his aura.

Immortal King Realm!!!

Several remnant immortals were still kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with fear.

There were several stone statues that Shi Jian was quite familiar with, as he had dealt with them in the lower realm.

"Leave two of these remnant immortals to sacrifice to the flag when the war with the alien realm begins... Kill the rest. They've been hiding for so long, they're already terrified of the alien realm to the bone!"

"Once on the battlefield... they'll be nothing but traitors!"
