Chapter 168 Coldness
"Miss, this is a great opportunity. As long as we control the Stone Kingdom, even if we cut off the connection between heaven and earth, the Butian Sect will be able to project its power in the wilderness and find the legendary opportunity for us." Grandma Xihua said excitedly.

In front of her, a masked woman of extraordinary beauty looked thoughtful and hesitant.

It's not that she is timid, but the impression Shi Yi left on her before was too deep, and his powerful image was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Therefore, she didn't quite believe the news about the destruction of Wushuang Palace and the death of Shi Yi.

"Could it be a trap?" she asked.

"It's possible, but unlikely. Miss, you know how terrifying the catastrophe is. Which venerable can escape the sweep of those three forbidden instruments?"

"I'm still worried, let me try it out first." Yuechan frowned.

"Miss, you are absolutely right."

……

In the imperial capital, in a royal residence, the nineteenth prince of the Stone Emperor strode out to welcome the distinguished guests from outside the domain.

This is a man in white clothes. He is not very old, very young, with a heroic air, deep eyes, a prominent position, and is extremely extraordinary.

"It turns out to be the hero of the Butian Sect!" Shi Chong spoke and greeted him respectfully.

"Your Highness Nineteenth is too polite. I'm here this time because of the matter of the throne of the Stone Kingdom. Your Highness should have heard that the Wushuang Palace and the Wushuang Emperor were both reduced to ashes, leaving the throne of the Stone Emperor vacant. According to the opinion of my sect's Saint Fairy Yuechan, only Your Highness Nineteenth is qualified to inherit the throne of the Great Imperial Capital."

The visitor was a young man with an imposing bearing and extraordinary talent, who volunteered to follow Yuechan.

When Shi Chong heard this, his eyes flickered and he looked thoughtful.

"As the son of the Stone Emperor, I naturally do not want to leave the Stone Kingdom leaderless. I don't want the throne to fall to anyone else. However, in the Imperial Capital, there are many uncles who are stronger than me and have ambitions for the throne. It will be difficult to defeat them all."

"That's fine. As long as His Highness Nineteenth is willing, our Butian Sect will provide assistance. All you need to do is promise to our sect after Your Highness inherits the throne..."

……

Soon, the two sides agreed on the terms and Shi Chong set off.

On the other hand, the princes of the Stone Kingdom could no longer hold back and were ready to make a move. King Lan, King Kun and others all received olive branches from foreign sects.

One is supported by Western religions, and the other is supported by Mount Bulao.

Of course, these foreign sects do not necessarily have to rely on them. For them, it does not matter who comes to power, as long as they can achieve their goals.

King Kun and King Lan set out one after another, leading their troops to attack the palace.

Also setting off were factions that cared about the Stone Kingdom and rejected external forces, such as the War King.

In the original novel, King Yu, who colluded with extraterritorial forces, stood on the side of King Zhan because of Shi Yi, which surprised the latter.

"Based on my understanding of the Rain Clan, you shouldn't be so active in maintaining the foundation of the Stone Kingdom. King Yu, what is your purpose?" King Zhan said in a deep voice.

King Yu snorted coldly and responded: "If it weren't for Yi'er, I wouldn't help you."

"The Peerless Emperor is not dead?" Upon hearing this, the War King's eyes lit up.

"I don't know, but I believe that he was born a Saint Emperor, blessed with incredible fortune. Even if he encounters a calamity, he will survive."

In the end, King Zhan believed it.

At this moment, Shi Hao also arrived at the imperial capital of Shi Kingdom. Sensing that the atmosphere here was not right, he rode his horse at full speed and rushed to the depths of the imperial capital.

The palace walls are guarded by royal guards to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the palace. At this moment, the situation is tense and people may come at any time.

Sure enough, shadowy figures came from afar and rushed towards the palace walls.

"Who are you? This is the royal forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter!" shouted the guards on the city wall.

Suddenly, the atmosphere here changed, becoming extremely solemn and murderous.

"Both the two great emperors of the Shi Kingdom have died. Why should we resist stubbornly? I will inherit my father's throne and stabilize the situation in the Shi Kingdom as soon as possible. This is the most important thing." The nineteenth prince Shi Chong said.

Behind him, there were quite a few monks, many of whom were from the Butian Sect and stood on his side.

"Without the order of His Majesty, no one is allowed to enter, not even His Royal Highness the Prince." The guard responded.

Just as Shi Chong was about to speak, King Kun and King Lan arrived from another direction. One was supported by the Western Religion, and the other was supported by Mount Bulao. Both were full of confidence.

"The throne is mine." Prince Kun spoke with full energy.

"It's mine." King Lan responded without any hesitation.

Suddenly, an angry shout was heard, and King of War, King of Rain and others arrived. The former cursed the Nineteenth Prince and the two princes for colluding with foreign forces and plotting to establish the foundation of the Stone Kingdom, which was a shame to the ancestors of the Stone Kingdom.

"King Zhan, please stop being so presumptuous."

The auras of the various factions collided like a needle against a thorn.

Seeing this, the generals in the imperial city sighed and thought that the Stone Kingdom was doomed to fall into chaos.

He ordered people to open the city gates and surrender directly to the forces behind the Nineteenth Prince, King Kun, King Lan and others.

"Kill them! Whoever reaches the Central Palace first and obtains the imperial seal will inherit the throne." A voice sounded.

The four forces suddenly collided violently and rushed into the imperial city.

Shi Hao also arrived. Seeing this scene, he chose to take action without hesitation and join the battle.

"It's Xiao Shi! He wants to get involved in this mess too?"

"Shi Hao, what are you doing here? Are you also coveting the throne of Stone Emperor?" the nineteenth prince shouted.

"Hmph, I have no interest in the throne of the Stone Emperor, but I will not let the Stone Kingdom's foundation fall into the hands of those who collude with foreign forces." Shi Hao snorted coldly and said this, opening and closing his hands and attacking the foreign genius.

He is much more ferocious than his contemporary self in the original novel, and he is like a man in his own land.

As soon as these words were spoken, the War King and Rain King stood on Shi Hao's side without hesitation.

Shi Hao glanced at the Rain King with cold eyes, because this creature once commanded the Rain Clan monks to hunt down his parents.

Moreover, the person who dug out his bones was one of the Rain King's most favored descendants.

However, Shi Hao did not take action. On the one hand, King Yu was now on his side. On the other hand, Shi Yi once said that all causes and effects were imposed on him and had nothing to do with others. It was up to the two of them to solve the problem and to fight.

"Xiao Shi, don't be so arrogant!" Qin Lun, the genius of Bulao Mountain, has arrived. He is an extraordinary genius and a powerful man.

The strongest prodigy of the Western Sect also emerged from the void, known as "Zhang Liu", mysterious and powerful. In comparison, the cultivators of the Bu Tian Sect seemed pale in comparison.

Fortunately, at this time, the extremely beautiful fairy Yuechan came and stood beside the nineteenth prince.

Although she had her face covered, it couldn't hide her stunning beauty. The nineteenth prince beside her couldn't help but look over.

"Yuechan, you are here." Shi Chong whispered.

"Hello, Brother Shi." Yuechan nodded, her voice was ethereal, giving people a hazy feeling of being out of reach.

All of a sudden, all four sides joined forces and the situation became tense, with everyone determined to seize the throne of the Stone Kingdom.

A huge melee broke out. Originally, the four forces refused to give in to each other and were fighting against each other, but later, three forces communicated with each other and reached a consensus to target Shi Hao together, which instantly doubled the pressure on him.

However, Shi Hao was very brave and strong. He was able to compete with Shi Yi in the Blood Moving Realm and the Cave Heaven Realm. Even when fighting one against three, he was not at a disadvantage.

When the iconic and only cave exploded, even a powerful fairy like Yuechan changed color in anger.

She, Qin Lun and Zhang Liu looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they increased the intensity of the attack. Moreover, more and more creatures joined the siege.

Although the War King, Rain King and others tried their best to stop them, the help they gave to Shi Hao was still limited.

"Shi Hao, there is a certain blood relationship between us. Your mother is the Saint Maiden of the Immortal Mountain. You have half the blood of the Immortal Mountain. As long as you are willing to return to your roots and get close to the Immortal Mountain, I can help you seize the throne of the Stone Kingdom." Suddenly, Qin Lun's voice sounded in Shi Hao's ears.

Shi Hao sneered.

"My ancestors are from the Stone Clan. What is Bulao Mountain? My parents are still missing, and I haven't come to you to settle the score yet."

After saying that, he directly targeted Qin Lun, and beat this one of the strongest geniuses of the younger generation of Bulao Mountain, causing him to cough up blood repeatedly.

“If you remain stubborn, don’t blame me for not considering our blood relationship.” Qin Lun’s eyes turned cold and he struck Shi Hao with heavy blows.

The four forces fought a great battle. Due to Shi Hao's strength, none of the three forces could defeat him and the situation was deadlocked. They fought as they moved towards the central heavenly palace of the Stone Kingdom.

During this process, the Stone Emperor's guards appeared and made a final attempt to dissuade the Nineteenth Prince, King Lan, King Kun and others who were colluding with foreign forces. Unfortunately, they were already bloodthirsty and the Central Heavenly Palace was just around the corner. At this time, who would be willing to give up halfway?

Further out, more princes and princesses arrived with a large number of troops, hoping to take advantage of the fatigue of the four forces and reap the benefits.

All of this was seen by the guard, who had a look of pity in his eyes, as he had already seen their tragic end.

He was the one who deliberately spread the news of the demise of Wushuang Palace and Wushuang Emperor.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the four groups of people charged into the Central Heavenly Palace, and the princes and princesses from all parties followed in one after another.

The Heavenly Palace is majestic, with flowing bright light. It is magnificent and grand. It is built with immortal golden rock. It has a magnificent atmosphere, and the whole country's fortune is gathered here.

This is the spiritual holy land of the Stone Clan. Throughout history, one emperor after another has sat here, looking down on the world with overwhelming power.

From ancient times to the present, this place has been the place where the Stone Clan’s unyielding faith is placed.

The Heavenly Palace is vast, with twelve huge stone pillars standing, rough and simple, carved with legendary supreme ancient beasts such as real dragons and Kunpeng.

Being in the palace, it feels like being in a small world, with thick chaotic energy flowing everywhere, and it is hazy.

It is very spacious and quiet here. If you listen carefully, you can even hear echoes from ancient times, which is shocking.

But at this moment, the tranquility here was broken by the shouts of killing. The four forces extended the war to this place. All parties were really angry and killing each other. The princes and princesses who followed up also joined in, wanting to take the throne and inherit the dynasty.

They refused to give in to each other, and whenever someone moved forward, others would try to stop them.

Among them, Shi Hao was under the greatest pressure, as his strength attracted sieges from all sides.

Although he is strong and aloof, he has too many enemies, and there are creatures secretly watching him covetously. They are the powerful Venerable-level forces from outside the domain, and they may be defeated at any time if they confront him in secret.

As time went on, the chaos spread to the depths of the Central Heavenly Palace. Through the chaotic mist, one could vaguely see the supreme throne standing high above.

The dragon energy transformed into a celestial dragon, swirling around the throne and emitting a deafening roar.

"The throne!"

"I saw the imperial seal. It was on the table next to the throne."

"Kill them, and the throne will be within reach."

The eyes of all living beings from all sides are red with rage. Once they sit on the throne of the Stone Emperor, the benefits will be unimaginable. You know, that is the place where the luck of the whole country gathers.

However, just as everyone was shouting and ready to fight to the death for the throne, Shi Hao, Yue Chan, Zhang Liu and other geniuses suddenly changed their expressions, looked at the throne with serious expressions, and stopped what they were doing in their hands.

The others were confused and looked over there. As the chaotic mist dissipated, the scene there became clearer.

The space beneath the supreme throne was not empty. There was a figure lying on his back on the throne, staring coldly at the ground below. It was difficult to describe what kind of eyes they were. One was full of vitality, the other was filled with destructive aura. They were like the eyes of a god, overlooking the world without a trace of emotion.

At this moment, all living beings stopped fighting at the same time. Their bodies felt cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their souls seemed to be frozen. Especially the princes, emperors, and princesses, whose faces turned pale in an instant.

"Unparalleled Emperor..."

King Kun spoke, and even his words were stuttering, which showed how frightened he was.

There is no way. Shi Yi's battle record is there. At the level of a Venerable, he has personally slaughtered so many gods from the upper realm. His strength has long been engraved in the deepest part of people's hearts.

Shi Hao was not surprised. He didn't believe that Shi Yi would fall in the catastrophe from the beginning.

Fairy Yuechan and others were in a state of uncertainty. The thing they were most worried about happened. The Wushuang Emperor was not dead at all. This was a trap.

Shi Yi sat upright on the throne. Just a glance from him could make all living beings feel fear from the bottom of their souls. He had no expression on his face, and was intimidating without being angry. He was extremely cold, like a dragon looking down at ants.

Everyone was sweating profusely, intimidated by an invisible pressure, and couldn't even turn around and run away.

"Miss, let's go quickly."

Granny Xihua appeared from the void and tried to take Fairy Yuechan away from the Central Heavenly Palace. Several venerable outsiders who had been secretly confronting her also came out, wanting to do the same thing.

However, the next moment, a terrible thing happened. All the venerables were hit by an irresistible and terrible force. In front of everyone, they were torn to pieces without even a grunt.

Blood rained down, broken arms and legs were scattered everywhere, and a strong smell of blood filled the palace. This was the blood mist of the Venerable, which contained a vast amount of divine brilliance. For cultivators, it was a great opportunity. However, no one could laugh, and the place was completely silent.

People mechanically turned their heads to look at the figure on the throne. From beginning to end, he did not move even a finger.

The indifferent look in his eyes was extremely cold, as if he despised all living things, making people's bodies stiff.
