"Ziling, no one wants such things to happen. If you want compensation, just ask, but do not sever the limbs of my clan," the old man said calmly.
"Fifth Uncle, what are you saying?" Stone Ziling's eyes widened as he stood with his golden battle spear, glaring at the group of strong warriors opposite him. "You took my son's Supreme Bone, causing him to degenerate and die, and yet the disaster has become a support for the clan. How can you even say such words?"
"Old Fifth," referring to the fifth position in their generation, named Stone Yuan, was a senior elder of the clan, even a generation above Stone Ziling's father. He was a powerful and unfathomable figure.
"Ziling, let's not argue about the right and wrong of the matter for now. Calm down and sit down to discuss. We will give you a satisfactory answer," Stone Yuan said, his eyes flashing with divine light, exuding a chilling aura.
"Stop it," Stone Ziling said coldly, knowing full well that the clan had already made its decision and that there was no turning back. "Let's not discuss anything else. Hand over Haoy's Supreme Bone."
The faces of the group opposite changed. They were all from Stone Yuan's faction, numbering several dozen, and such a request was impossible to fulfill. They would never hand over the Supreme Bone no matter what.
"Ziling, the Supreme Bone has already been removed and cannot be restored. Please accept other forms of compensation," Stone Yuan said calmly.
"Restoring it is not your concern. What belongs to Haoy cannot be taken by anyone else," Stone Ziling shouted, his heart filled with frustration that a child's precious bone was so forcefully taken.
"No," Stone Yuan shook his head decisively. "For the prosperity of our clan, such things cannot be done. A naturally born Supreme cannot be allowed to disappear."
"You say no," Stone Ziling’s aura surged like a storm, his eyes flashing with lightning as he advanced with the battle spear, glaring ahead. "I'll take it myself."
He set his sights on Stone Yi, pointing his golden battle spear at his chest. The spear emitted brilliant rays and thunderous roars, preparing to take action.
On either side of Stone Yuan, many strong warriors held their weapons, their eyes filled with anger, ready to fight. They could not allow a person with divine eyes to die young, and they prepared for battle.
"Good, good, good," Stone Ziling said three times, his anger boiling, and the golden light in his eyes intensified.
"Ziling, any other demands are acceptable, but you must not harm Yi'er," Stone Yuan said as he stepped forward, his every move exuding an overwhelming aura, like the tides of the sea. He was an extraordinary strongman, renowned not only within the clan but also throughout the entire imperial capital.
Stone Ziling raised his spear. There was nothing left to say but battle. The golden battle spear was surrounded by one divine symbol after another, giving off a cold metallic feel, radiating an unparalleled divine might.
"Kill!"
Stone Ziling charged forward, shaking his spear. The entire sky trembled as the symbols seemed to come alive, emitting divine light and pressing down.
With a loud boom, the dozens of strong warriors opposite were forced to retreat involuntarily, as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down, causing everyone to tremble with fear and almost kneel.
This was the gap. Stone Ziling, known as the genius of the imperial capital, was far beyond their ability to resist. Only the senior elders of the clan could match him in battle.
Only Stone Yuan remained in the arena, with everyone else stumbling backward, unable to stand against the overwhelming pressure that would crush their bodies.
A rumbling sound came, Stone Yuan’s arms trembled, like a blood phoenix soaring to the sky. The red light around him surged upward, and his aura surged tenfold, blocking the might of the golden battle spear.
Boom!
The battle spear, like a rainbow, came with an unstoppable force, piercing through the heavens with countless golden symbols, making the world tremble.
Stone Yuan’s right hand, covered with symbols, struck forward, transforming into a divine wing, surrounded by phoenix red feathers, dazzlingly bright, and emitting a phoenix cry that shook the heavens.
The phoenix wings collided with the golden spear like two active volcanoes, with magma flowing and flames filling the sky, making the area blinding and obscured.
The two engaged in fierce combat, exchanging dozens of blows in an instant. One was enveloped in golden light, like a war god, while the other was bathed in red mist, like an ancient fierce bird. Their speed was astonishing, continually colliding, each impact emitting a blinding light.
Observers were astonished. Stone Ziling was so powerful that he forced the clan’s formidable elders to fight desperately, which was unimaginable given the significant difference in their cultivation times.
A phoenix cry shattered the earth and stone, piercingly sharp, causing palaces to collapse. The strong were alarmed, quickly activating their symbols to protect themselves from injury.
Stone Yuan’s hair and beard stood on end, his eyes flashing with lightning, his entire body glowing. An ancient fierce bird emerged from his body, red all over, with vibrant feathers, soaring and attacking Stone Ziling.
He used his most powerful technique, his killing intent overwhelming, shocking everyone. The elder was pushed to this point.
"Roar!"
A deep, muffled roar erupted from Stone Ziling. His entire body shone with golden light, and a massive fierce beast appeared, filling the heavens and earth. It roared and made all beings submit, like a king appearing and looking down upon the vast land.
The beast’s shadow was indistinct, but everyone knew it must be one of the most powerful fierce beasts to have such an overwhelming presence.
With a thunderous roar, the massive beast’s paw came crashing down, covering a large area of palaces below. Its ferocity shook the world, making everyone tremble and ready to kneel.
The ancient fierce bird cried out, its vibrant wings sweeping, striking at the beast’s paw. The two clashed violently.
This was a battle of supreme techniques, a peak battle of life and death, with fierce clashes and divine light sweeping in all directions, shaking hearts.
"Great Uncle, strike his left ribs!" At this moment, Stone Yi suddenly spoke, his eyes glowing with divine light. Despite his young age, he exuded a commanding aura. His eyes could see through many sources, spotting a flaw in Stone Ziling and directly calling out to his great uncle to target that weakness.
Boom!
Stone Yuan’s eyes shot out lightning, activating his technique. The ancient fierce bird swooped down, targeting Stone Ziling’s left ribs to magnify the flaw.
"Roar!"
However, the enormous ancient fierce beast roared, shaking the mountains and rivers, instantly blocking the terrifying bird. Its paw slammed down, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
"Great Uncle, attack the beast’s left armpit!" Stone Yi spoke again, his eyes deep and mysterious, with threads of divine light emitting, and a terrifying power swirling.
With a loud boom, the ancient fierce bird attacked again, its wings spread wide, its beak open, emitting endless light. Each beam was enough to destroy a group of strong warriors.
Bang!
The fierce beast raised its massive paw and directly struck the bird’s beak, blocking all the light and preventing it from advancing.
"Strike its chest!" Stone Yi shouted again, his eyes burning with intense light, like two divine lamps. The emitted aura made many feel anxious and fearful.
Boom! The ancient fierce bird flapped its feathers, fast and ferocious, sweeping toward the beast’s chest. Unfortunately, it missed again and almost got hit by the huge beast’s paw, rapidly retreating.
"This is impossible; his speed is too fast," Stone Yi’s forehead was sweating. He continued to point out weaknesses, but Stone Ziling remained indifferent, treating it as insignificant. His strikes were lightning-fast, and his mastery of techniques was elusive.
Stone Yi, with his divine eyes, could see many sources and find flaws, but his guidance couldn't keep up with Stone Ziling's speed.
"Fifth Uncle, you are not capable," Stone Ziling said, his body erupting with even more dazzling light. The massive beast shadow rapidly expanded and then shattered, transforming into an ancient fierce beast symbol that surged into his body, merging with him.
He radiated brilliance, holding his battle spear as he moved. Each step he took made the earth tremble. His spear thrust out with incredible speed, piercing through the ancient fierce bird and directly killing it.
"Boom!"
The golden spear turned and surged forward. Stone Yuan, showing fear, dodged rapidly but was already too late. The symbol, wrapped in sharpness, pierced his shoulder.
Stone Yuan roared, channeling all his strength to concentrate all symbols onto his shoulder. The brilliance was blinding as he was sent flying backward. The mysterious symbols interwove, preventing the wound from spreading, leaving a blood hole that was transparent from front to back.
If it had been someone else, their body would have cracked all over and then shattered. Even with superior techniques, that arm would have most likely been destroyed. But Stone Yuan's technique was extraordinary, solidifying the wound. Though severely injured, his arm was at least not shattered.
Nevertheless, he lost his fighting strength. He seemed to age ten years instantly, collapsing into the crowd, unable to continue fighting.
With the senior elder defeated, Stone Yuan’s faction had no one who could match Stone Ziling. This was shocking—he was only in his twenties, yet he had overwhelmed the strongest members of the clan.
The scene fell silent, and Stone Yuan’s faction was filled with fear.
Stone Ziling advanced step by step, his golden spear pointed forward. He fixed his gaze on Stone Yi and said, "My good nephew, was it you who told your mother that Haoy had the Supreme Bone? What deep thoughts you have."
Stone Yi remained silent, standing still, with divine light flickering in his eyes.
"The clan wants to punish your mother. You threaten that she cannot be killed, right? But today, if I kill her again, will you really draw your sword and cut her down?" Stone Ziling said calmly.
"Esteemed elders, aren’t you going to act?" someone shouted.
Stone Ziling did not turn around. He already knew that as soon as he acted, the elders had moved. They used the ancient relics' precious bones to seal off the entire residence, preventing the sounds of battle and shouting from reaching the outside.
"Ziling, all the mistakes are ours. This wicked woman can be killed or tortured as you please, but Yi’er must not be harmed," several senior elders appeared together at this moment.
Each of them was extraordinarily powerful, having been reclusive for many years. They were several generations above Stone Ziling, their eyes shining like small suns. These were the true supreme experts of the clan.
In front of them was a bound woman, escorted close.
"Sister-in-law, is your heart red or black?" Stone Ziling gritted his teeth and then shouted, "Truly a heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog!"
Not far away, Stone Yi's face was cold, his heavy pupils glowing with an astonishing aura. A chilling air emanated from him, making everyone shiver.
Stone Ziling continued, "I said, if you break one of my son's bones, I will break a hundred of your son’s bones. Even if the King of Heaven comes today, he cannot stop me."
The woman looked up, her face icy, not saying a word, but her heart was filled with fear and regret. Her family had indeed dispatched their strongest fighters to intercept the couple, yet they still managed to return alive.
"I will make you see with your own eyes," Stone Ziling shouted, then suddenly turned to face Stone Yi. He raised his golden spear and swung it like an iron rod.
"How dare you!" an elder shouted angrily.
"Ziling, stop! Do not harm Yi’er. Everything else is negotiable," another elder shouted.
"Stone Ziling, are you rebelling?" The elders aligned with Stone Yuan shouted even louder.
They all acted simultaneously, unleashing their techniques, illuminating the sky with their power.
"Rebel? What of it? I said, no one can stop me," Stone Ziling roared. His golden spear continued its unchanging trajectory toward Stone Yi.
However, a group of elders blocked the path, using various techniques, with symbols sealing off the way. The spear fell.
Stone Ziling shook his arm, the symbols interweaving in a complex manner, emitting a strange power as they traveled down the golden spear.
"This is not good," all the elders exclaimed in shock.
They felt a secret power penetrating through their techniques, impacting Stone Yi. Although it weakened as it passed through them, it was still terrifying.
"What kind of technique is this?" they were alarmed. The clan had no records of such a technique. It was so strange that it passed through their bodies and techniques, heading forward. They realized it was too late to stop it.
"Ah!"
Stone Yi let out a painful cry, flying sideways into a rockery, his body covered in blood. The bones in his body snapped loudly, with hundreds of bones breaking instantly.
"Yi’er!" The woman screamed in terror, then suddenly looked up with an astonishingly fierce gaze, staring at Stone Ziling, and coldly said, "My father and others will not spare you."
"Shh!"
With a flash of golden light, Stone Ziling coldly threw his golden spear. With a thud, it pierced through her body, sending her flying several dozen yards away, pinning her to the ground.
