This Is Impossible, the Spirit Clan Is an Emperor Clan, This Can't Be Real!

As he spoke,

Qing Luo directly took out a token of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and a scale from a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Buzz—

As the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's token and the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's scale appeared,

In an instant,

An incomparably ancient, twisted life pressure belonging to the magical beast race enveloped the entire hall!

Feeling that pressure originating from the supreme magical beast clans,

Within the hall,

Those Saint elder, including Shi Zhentian, all stood frozen in place with dazed, shocked expressions.

Storms raged in their minds as they recalled what Qing Luo had just said.

The Ancient Void Dragon Clan,

The Ancient Heavenly Snake Clan,

One was the lord of the three great magical beast clans, while the other had been one of the magical beast overlords ten thousand years ago.

The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan,

Had already vanished from the continent ten thousand years ago. Yet as long as even one of that clan remained alive, it would be enough to stir up monstrous waves across the Central Plains.

And now, Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had actually taken the initiative to mention this clan.

Moreover,

He had clearly stated that the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan was an ally of the Emperor Alliance. Shi Zhentian had no choice but to consider whether that clan had truly gone extinct or was living somewhere hidden.

In contrast, the Ancient Void Dragons were still the undisputed overlords of the Magical Beast World.

The strength of their clan

Was enough to rival top-tier Emperor Clans like the Yan Clan and Thunder Clan.

They were simply not something the Stone Clan could compare itself to.

As for the two sects of the Central Plains and the Pill Tower, since they had already joined the Emperor Alliance, the news that the two Central Plains sects had joined was most likely true.

Qing Luo's words

Contained information so shocking that it was terrifying.

Coupled with Qing Luo's confident expression,

And his initiative to remain in the Stone Clan and personally watch them be slaughtered,

That confidence

Made Shi Zhentian not dare question whether his words were true.

The reason was simple.

He could not afford to gamble, and neither could the Stone Clan...

It was not only the Dou Saints of the Stone Clan and Shi Zhentian who were shocked.

There were also Pill Tower Ancestor Mu Tong Dan Xuan, who had come to the Stone Clan with Qing Luo.

Although Dan Xuan stood beside Qing Luo,

At this moment,

He felt that the distance between them was incomparably vast!

The Ancient Void Dragons, the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons, and the two Central Plains sects—were they all allies of the Emperor Alliance?

Was the Emperor Alliance's foundation truly this terrifying?

The problem was,

Qing Luo had never told him about any of these foundations or trump cards...

What did that mean?

Did Qing Luo think he was unimportant, or was Qing Luo guarding against him?!

Either way,

Dan Xuan felt that he needed to have a proper talk with the Alliance Leader.

Qing Luo indifferently observed the expressions of everyone in the hall,

The confidence in his eyes growing ever stronger.

Earlier,

After arriving at the Stone Clan, the reason he had remained silent and handed the initiative to Dan Xuan

Was because he had been secretly assessing the Stone Clan's overall strength.

After all,

In the memories of those Stone Clan experts within the Demon Flame Space, the Stone Clan's Emperor Clan bloodline had already begun to wither several thousand years ago.

The number of Dou Saints in the clan had been continually decreasing.

Based on Qing Luo's deductions and his understanding of the original plot,

The current Stone Clan

Should have possessed combat strength comparable to the Pill Tower.

However, the moment they entered the Stone Clan's main hall, the experts the Stone Clan displayed, whether in number or quality, had exceeded Qing Luo's expectations.

It was only when Shi Zhentian told them to leave

That Qing Luo finally confirmed

The Stone Clan had merely been putting on a show.

The reason was not difficult to understand.

If the Stone Clan truly still possessed the foundation of an Emperor Clan, then when they heard Dan Xuan speak of the secret to Attaining Emperorhood,

Whether that secret was true or false,

The Stone Clan would never have let them leave. They would certainly have sent elders to capture them and obtain the secret to Attaining Emperorhood Dan Xuan spoke of.

Yet Shi Zhentian had told them to leave.

This proved

That with the Stone Clan's capabilities, they had no confidence in capturing them at all.

Dan Xuan was a Six-Rank Dou Saint, while Qing Luo's current incarnation was only at Peak Dou Zun.

In other words,

The Stone Clan was not even confident it could capture a single Six-Star Dou Saint.

From that point, Qing Luo concluded that the Dou Saints and experts they sensed in the hall were the entirety of the Stone Clan's foundation.

With that being the case,

Qing Luo naturally had no intention of giving the Stone Clan any face.

He directly mocked them,

Bringing up allies such as the Ancient Void Dragons, the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons, and the two Central Plains sects to make the Stone Clan face reality.

Of course,

Qing Luo was not lying.

The Dragon Emperor was locked at the entrance to the Dou Di Cave Mansion. Qing Luo was one hundred percent certain he could take over the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

As for the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python,

It was in the Tagor Desert. Though it still needed to be nurtured, was it not a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python? Did the Snake-People Tribe not count as the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan?!

The two Central Plains sects,

Whether it was the Sound Sect or the Flower Sect, although the original work contained very little description of the Sound Sect,

Overall, both were on the righteous side.

They were not on the same path as the Soul Clan.

With Pill Tower Ancestor Mu Tong Dan Xuan here, persuading those two sects to join the Emperor Alliance would not be a problem either.

Qing Luo had merely changed the order of events and informed the Stone Clan of these factions in advance. It was simply a negotiation tactic, not deception.

As for remaining in the Stone Clan for three days, after which the Stone Clan would certainly perish,

Qing Luo was not trying to scare them either.

Not long ago, he and Dan Xuan had opened the Spirit Clan's seal, and Qing Luo had also left traces of Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame within the Spirit Clan.

Nihility Devouring Flame would certainly sense it.

Now,

Once the Soul Clan's experts reached the Spirit Clan, they would know that their secret slaughter of the Spirit Clan had been exposed.

At that time,

If Qing Luo, as Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, released some of his own origin aura within the Stone Clan,

And allowed Nihility Devouring Flame to sense it,

Could the Spirit Clan still survive?

The only difference was that it would not be the Ancient Void Dragons, the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons, or other Emperor Alliance forces making the move.

Rather, it would be the Soul Clan.

The faction taking action would be different, but the result would not change in the slightest.

As long as Shi Zhentian dared keep him in the Stone Clan,

Qing Luo dared make the Stone Clan perish completely.

It was merely the Stone Clan.

Even without the Stone Clan, Qing Luo was confident that he could still overturn the Soul Clan.

Conversely, if the Soul Clan moved in advance and destroyed the Stone Clan, the other Emperor Clans would certainly notice and discover the Soul Clan's ambitions.

With the other Emperor Clans keeping the Soul Clan in check, Qing Luo could also take advantage of the chaos to nurture his own forces and rise amid the turmoil.

No matter which outcome it was,

It would benefit Qing Luo!

This was why Qing Luo dared be completely fearless and berate the Stone Clan so fiercely.

Seeing the Stone Clan's Dou Saints stand as if struck by lightning, while Shi Zhentian clenched his fists and seemed lost in thought,

Qing Luo casually waved his hand.

A Pure Lotus rose within the hall, its cleansing fiery haze transforming into a curtain that reflected above the hall.

"Stone Clan Chief, I have another grand gift for you!"

Upon hearing this,

Shi Zhentian and the Stone Clan elders all turned their gazes toward the curtain above the hall.

Energy flowed through the curtain.

In the end,

It revealed the hellish scene after the Spirit Clan had been slaughtered: the realm shattered, mountains and rivers flowing backward, and corpses carpeting the ground.

"This is... the Spirit Clan?!"

Shi Chui cried out in shock. "This is impossible... the Spirit Clan is an Emperor Clan. This can't be real!!!"

He had visited the Spirit Realm several times, so he recognized at a glance that the scene within the image belonged to the Spirit Realm.

Shi Chui's shocked, terrified voice echoed through the hall.

To the Stone Clan's Dou Saints and Shi Zhentian, it sounded unbearably harsh.

But now,

Not a single person spoke to refute him.

Because, as Dou Saints,

They could tell that the image on the curtain had not been condensed from Dou Qi by Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Rather, it directly projected the scene of the Spirit Realm into the hall.

They did not know how Qing Luo had accomplished this.

But one thing was certain.

All of it was real!!!
