Chapter 188: Punishing Rebellion
That drop of lightning liquid was very extraordinary. Not long after the Stone King swallowed it, that drop of lightning liquid was like a downpour of rain on the dry land, and the Stone King was recovering rapidly.
"It has miraculous effects. Both the origin and the soul have been nourished, and a turning point has been ushered in. With the Immortal King's powerful vitality, even if it is only this little, he can recover on his own." The Stone King was a little amazed.
The power of this drop of thunder liquid was beyond his imagination. Just one drop of it really made his condition better.
This is the case with the Immortal Kings. They are almost immortal themselves. As long as they can get a little bit of a turn for the better, it will be enough for them and they don’t have to worry about their death.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the Stone King recovered directly because of a drop of Thunder Tribulation Liquid. The Thunder Tribulation Liquid is not that powerful. It just serves as an opportunity.
"Then fellow Daoist, just focus on your cultivation. After experiencing the transformation of life and death, I believe you can go further." Feng Xi said seriously.
"Yes, this kind of tempering is very rare even for an Immortal King." God Liu also said so.
Liu Shen has a lot to say about this because she grew up this way time and time again.
Every nirvana brought many insights to Liu Shen, allowing his own path to grow.
The Stone King nodded. Although the laws of the Tianyuan had weakened, with the ancestral spirits and Feng Xi in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he could indeed achieve Nirvana with peace of mind for a while.
It seemed that he had not rested since the end of the ancient times. Even though he was seriously injured, he had always maintained the power of the original imperial city because he was afraid that if he was not careful, the immortal king from another world would pass through.
After an era, everything was fine at the beginning. Even though he was injured, he had some spare strength thanks to his powerful magic power and unfathomable origin.
But since entering this era, especially the period of millions of years, he could feel that his condition was getting worse and worse, but he still did not dare to let his guard down.
It was not until today, when Feng Xi killed An Lan, suppressed Yu Tuo, and forced Wu Shang to retreat, that he felt a lot more relieved.
After leaving the Original Imperial City, Feng Xi thought about it and decided to go back to the Original Imperial City.
Endless rain of light fell, and when Feng Xi appeared in this huge city, those huge stars seemed to be surrounding him.
This was not something Feng Xi did intentionally, but his path was too high. Even this world was far lower than him. Therefore, wherever he stood, the world would welcome him respectfully.
At this moment, everyone in Diguan has experienced a series of processes from despair to hope, and then to shock, and their mood has been in shock the whole time.
The Immortal King is at the gate! How heavy is this sentence? Who can stop the Immortal King? With the help of the few supreme beings guarding the Imperial Gate?
When those millions of fierce soldiers stood in the desert with their aggressive momentum, except for a few people, everyone else was filled with extreme despair.
Many people even believed that this era was about to come to an end. Therefore, before the great battle, the creatures of Diguan raised their glasses and drank to say goodbye, not knowing whether they would have a tomorrow.
Many people had actually prepared themselves for death, but now, everyone realized that Jiu Tian was safe, safer than ever before.
The Immortal King of this world, in the abyss of heaven, forcefully confronted the kings of foreign lands. It was an unimaginable shock. Even now, many people actually felt as if they were living in a dream.
Many people are in the state of being hit by a huge surprise and feeling dizzy.
However, everyone in Diguan suddenly noticed that the world had changed. When they looked up and saw the figure that seemed to be standing in the galaxy.
"I've met the Immortal King!"
The entire imperial city was paying homage directly, with no one being the exception. This was necessary etiquette when facing the Immortal King, and it was also an expression of gratitude. They certainly would not say it out loud, because they knew that a king would definitely not care about their attitude.
However, at this moment everyone was the same, they worshiped the sky devoutly.
This is a true Immortal King-level creature, the king of the immortal way, far superior to the True Immortal. However, in the Nine Heavens today, there is not even a newly promoted True Immortal. To everyone, Immortal King-level creatures only exist in legends, and this is the first time to have such close contact with one.
However, not all people were happy and excited. Some creatures only had fake smiles on their faces. If you looked closely, you would find that their bodies were even trembling slightly.
Feng Xi was speechless. Under the worshipful gazes of all living beings, he descended directly to an area and came to the side of Shi Hao.
At this moment, all the living beings in this area felt as if the sky was pressing down on them, making them dare not look directly at the sky. Among them, Qingyi, the witch and other people from the three thousand Daozhou were looking at Feng Xi in disbelief.
More than ten years ago, they had all seen this man, the invincible man in the Three Thousand Dao States, the immortal killer, the number one man in the Three Thousand States.
All these are dazzling enough for one person, but it has only been a dozen years. The man whose back could be seen at the beginning has now reached an unbelievable height.
The Immortal King is the highest, which is almost considered the pinnacle of practice by many cultivators. Many people present have never even thought about becoming an Immortal King.
Their goal from the beginning to the end was just to become immortal.
“Yes, you have reached the peak of the first level of Escape and have a solid foundation. You are expected to break through to the Supreme realm within a few decades.” Feng Xi nodded and looked at Shi Hao's practice progress with satisfaction.
Shi Hao was rarely out of control. He touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It's still a long way to go."
Feng Xi smiled, turned to look at the others, and nodded. Many of these people had good foundations, just a little weaker than Shi Hao. However, even if these people were placed in any ancient history of cultivation, they were extremely outstanding.
When these people noticed that Feng Xi's gaze had shifted to them, they all felt a little nervous. After all, facing the gaze of an Immortal King, it would be difficult for any living being not to react.
Just a while ago, they saw that this Immortal King, with just a glance, cut through the heaven and earth on the other side of the Tianyuan, and no one knew how many immortals had perished.
At this time, many powerful auras came to this area, and without exception, they were the original highest combat power of Emperor Guan.
"Divine Eyes greets you, sir!" The Three-Eyed Quasi-King has now fully recovered, and his aura is terrifyingly powerful, but at this moment, he also bowed down.
Feng Xi had already saved his life, but at that time, God's eyes were more concerned about the ancestral spirit. But it is different now.
Now, Feng Xi is already a true Immortal King, and he is no longer the same as before. "Meng Tianzheng greets you, sir." Meng Tianzheng has a tall and majestic figure, and has recovered from his gray-haired and youthful appearance to a middle-aged appearance. With the aura of the Supreme flowing through him, he stands at the top of the extreme way and can be said to be the number one Supreme.
"Emperor Guan Qingmu, greetings to His Excellency." Qingmu Supreme, the owner of the Five Spirits Chariot, spoke respectfully.
In addition, there are several supreme beings, including the supreme beings of the three academies, the old emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, etc. This is the most powerful force on the side of the Imperial Pass, but to the foreign lands, this force is simply an ant, and they only need to send out a quasi-immortal king to sweep them away.
Feng Xi looked around and found that the number of people here did not match. For example, Wang Changsheng from the Wang family and Taijun from the Jin family were not seen anywhere.
As if seeing Feng Xi's doubts, Divine Eyes stepped forward and said, "Sir, after I took charge of the Imperial Pass, I discovered that there were many surrenderists in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They were secretly colluding with foreign lands. Now I have suppressed them. I am waiting for you to return and then I will make a decision."
After saying this, some people suddenly became uncomfortable. The divine eye only suppressed the few people who were the leaders. The divine eye ignored the others because they were not worthy of his attention at all.
Feng Xi understood the key instantly after hearing this. As an invincible giant, his spiritual power was so powerful that he knew the location of those suppressed people with just a thought.
But he did not arrest these people now. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "I heard that Shi Hao brought back a rotten wooden box. The foreign land wanted to cross the border, probably for it. Where is it now?"
Hearing this, Meng Tianzheng, Wang Changsheng and others looked in the direction of the Jin family. When Shi Hao returned that day, he brought back a rotten wooden box, but in the end, it was taken away by the Jin family on the pretext of checking safety.
There were many cultivators in the Jin family lineup. Although Jin Taijun was suppressed, the divine eyes were too lazy to pay attention to the other members of the clan and did not care at all.
Now, when Feng Xi mentioned this rotten wooden box, the people of the Jin family suddenly felt their hearts beating wildly.
"Sir, we just think that the rotten wooden box has a strange origin. We plan to observe it carefully and then return it to young friend Shi Hao." Jin Yi of the Jin family quickly stood up and said tremblingly.
However, just as he finished speaking, the expression on his face froze, and then, in front of everyone's horrified gazes, he turned into ashes and disappeared.
And at his original position, a rotten wooden box fell to the ground.
Feng Xi reached out to pick up the rotten wooden box, looked at the other people with ulterior motives, and said, "Don't lie in front of the Immortal King. Nothing of yours can be hidden in front of me."
After saying that, he looked at the rotten wooden box in his hand. This thing was very extraordinary. He tried to use force, but the rotten wooden box showed no signs of breaking.
This was extremely shocking, because Feng Xi was an invincible giant. With a squeeze of his palm, the endless galaxy would be turned into powder, but the rotten wooden box would not move at all.
However, this is only natural, because even Feng Xi today does not dare to think too much about the origin of this rotten wooden box, and even actively stops himself from thinking about it, for fear of being discovered by the things inside.
After just a curious look, Feng Xi put away the rotten wooden box, and then he looked at the people around him.
"Now that the foreign lands have retreated, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will be at peace for a while. However, not everyone can enjoy this peace."
After hearing these words, some people immediately began to tremble all over. They had guilty consciences and did not dare to imagine what would become of them.
"During the confrontation with the foreign land, some creatures emerged here that deserve respect, and some that deserve shame and contempt. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished!"
The cold words were like a bolt of lightning that struck through the hearts of all living beings.
Those who have a clear conscience will naturally not be nervous. On the contrary, they are somewhat happy. In the past, they were powerless even if they wanted to uphold justice. Now they are very happy to hear that the guilty will be tried.
As for those who feel guilty, their legs have gone limp and their souls are trembling with fear. They ask themselves if there is something wrong with their style of doing things over the years. In order to consolidate their power, they have eliminated dissidents on a large scale and have harmed countless lives.
Shi Hao's relatives and friends, Qingyi, Shi Yi, Cao Yusheng, Changgong Yan, Tianjiao Yi, Taiyin Yutu, Tianzi, etc., all looked at the Jin family, Feng family, Wang family, etc.
These forces that are being watched by everyone feel like they are being stabbed in the back, making them feel uneasy.
This is the invincible Immortal King who defeated the foreign land. Who can resist him when he wants to judge? All they can do is bow down.
"boom!"
It was as if the world was spinning, and many creatures that were originally suppressed appeared here. They were very confused and didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw Feng Xi surrounded by the Great Dao of the Heavens, they suddenly understood everything.
Among them, Wang Changsheng, Jin Taijun, the leader of the Feng clan and others all looked horrified at this moment.
They are the supreme ones, so they can naturally feel how powerful Feng Xi is. Especially Wang Changsheng. The moment he saw Feng Xi, his eyes immediately became gloomy.
Looking at these people, there was nothing to say, so Feng Xi started the trial directly.
"Yuan Qing, for the sake of profit, you wantonly harmed the heroes of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you should be executed!"
Yuan Qing's soul was shaken and he immediately understood the current situation. He quickly knelt on the ground and defended himself.
But unfortunately, before he could finish his words, the Dao Fruit on his body exploded invisibly, and the Half-Step Supreme was dead in an instant.
Yuan Qing, a Half-Step Supreme who was connected with many high-ranking officials of the Nine Heavens and had tremendous power, was killed just like that. All those who felt guilty could not help but shiver in fear.
This is a matter that truly concerns one's own life and death. No one can remain calm. Even those who have achieved great cultivation and are at the supreme level in the human realm cannot face death calmly.
"Jin Taijun, for the sake of profit, you harmed the heroes of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and you yourself have connections with foreign lands, you should be killed!"
"Please spare my life, sir. I did this for the sake of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. At that time, just one famine could ensure peace in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for five hundred years, which could avoid many sacrifices." Jin Taijun was terrified and quickly opened her mouth to defend herself.
But unfortunately, the Immortal King's words were binding and could not be changed by the will of others. Jin Taijun had just finished speaking when he disappeared. The supreme Dao fruit turned into the laws of the Dao, interweaving in the sky above the Imperial City, and then dissipated, feeding back to the Dao of this world.
An invincible supreme being, Jin Taijun, who was once invincible in the nine heavens and ten earths, was killed just like that without causing the slightest ripple. Even the strange phenomenon of the supreme being's fall did not appear.
It was as if everyone in this world believed that Jin Taijun should die, and no strange signs would befall her because of her death.
