Chapter 1219: The Rock Emperor’s Imprint, The Strongest Foundation
The Rock Emperor Sword, the emperor weapon that accompanied the Rock Emperor throughout his entire life!
It could be said to be the greatest foundation of the entire Shi family!
After the ultimate recovery, it couldn’t be said to be on par with the emperor. At the very least, it was unrivalled at the Immortal King Realm.
It was also the real foundation of the various Emperor clans. Unless the emperor attacked them, no Immortal King would be able to shake their foundation.
Even for the Shi family or the Yuan family, which had long lost their Emperor Lord, there was no need to worry about being left behind.
Because the only ones who could stand against the emperor clans were the emperor clans.
If they truly angered the emperor clan and revealed their cards, there would be no direct benefits to anyone.
This was also the reason why even though Lu Xuan’s cultivation base was extremely high, he still restrained his temper and didn’t attack the Shi family.
The emperor clans had been passed down for many years, how could those who had just risen up be able to catch up to them.
“Not enough. Although the Rock Emperor Sword is not bad, it is something that you cannot control with your current strength. If you are only at this level, I could kill you in seconds!” Lu Xuan said indifferently.
“Why does Immortal King Lu remind him as if Shi Tatian is not strong enough?” Someone asked in puzzlement, as if he didn’t understand Lu Xuan’s actions.
“Because Immortal King Lu has absolute confidence. No matter how hard Shi Tatian struggled, he wouldn’t be able to escape from his grasp!”
“This is like killing a monkey to scare a chicken. If this monkey isn’t strong enough, everything would be meaningless. If Immortal King Lu can defeat and kill Shi Tatian when he is at his strongest, then the Shi family would instantly disintegrate and no longer pose any threat!”
Lu Xuan’s plan was clear even to the bystanders, and also Shi Tatian. He naturally saw clearly that Lu Xuan had absolute confidence in his own strength.
No matter what kind of foundation he had, no matter how much his strength increased, he probably wouldn’t be able to turn things around.
If he could defeat him in one move, then the Shi family would also be defeated without a fight!
“What a good plan. However, Lu Xuan, you have underestimated me. Ever since I found out that you had escaped from the Myriad Sovereign Slash, I have been preparing for this day. Do you think that I would be unprepared?” Shi Ta Tian sneered.
Indeed, he had miscalculated many times when he plotted against Lu Xuan. However, it did not mean that he was unprepared.
In truth, although his talent was outstanding, he was extremely cautious. It was also because of this that he was able to dodge Lu Xuan’s attacks many times.
It was just that Lu Xuan was too outstanding. It could be said that Shi Tatian was extremely careful towards Lu Xuan. Every single time, he would make a move that exceeded the norm. If it was an ordinary Immortal King, even if he was an innate saint, he should have been killed when suffering so many attacks.
It was only when he met Lu Xuan that he seemed to be beaten up everywhere.
“Watch carefully, this is the Shi family’s foundation. An outsider like you will never understand!”
Shi Tatian shouted. His born Taoism aptitude emitted a shocking light.
From the Shi family’s ancestral land, a shocking golden shadow appeared and entered Shi Tatian’s body.
“Boom!”
Shi Tatian’s body was filled with boundless killing intent. Terrifying mana surged and engulfed the entire Shi family’s ancestral land.
At this moment, all the emotions in Shi Tatian’s eyes disappeared without a trace. His humanity had disappeared, leaving behind only a cold indifference.
Countless people felt that this killing intent was bone-chilling. It was as if Shi Tatian was a slaughtering asura and not a human.
“This is your last resort, isn’t it?” Lu Xuan was unmoved by Shi Tatian’s sudden change.
He already knew what that astonishing golden shadow was.
This was also a unique technique of the emperor clan. After cultivating the God Realm, they would leave their imprints in the world. Even if they had already fallen, the imprint would still be there.
As long as the descendants continued to offer sacrifices and incense, after a million years or tens of millions of years, the accumulated power of the incense would be strong enough to awaken the Imperial Emperor’s imprint from the God Realm.
If there was enough time to rescue, it was not impossible for the awakened imprint to have the combat power of a living person.
And the Shi family’s summoned imprint was clearly a bit lacking power. It was still a breath away from the God Realm. But even so, it was already invincible against experts below the God Realm.
However, this imprint also had a huge limitation. It couldn’t last long. Every minute and every second consumed the incense that the Shi family had accumulated over countless years.
Furthermore, it couldn’t be too far away from the Shi family’s ancestral land.
This was also why Shi Tatian’s first reaction was to return to the Shi family’s ancestral land after receiving the news that Lu Xuan had killed many innate saints.
This was because only here could he borrow the imprint of ancestor Rock Emperor. Only here could he have a chance to defeat Lu Xuan.
On the path of cultivation, he had already been left far behind by Lu Xuan. It was impossible for him to catch up within a short period of time, so he could only resort to unorthodox methods.
At this moment, after fusing with the imprint of ancestor stone emperor, the humanity in Shi Tatian’s eyes dissipated, leaving behind only the divinity. It was the kind of lofty majesty that looked down on all living things.
“Lu Xuan, in this battle, I used the imprint of ancestor to kill you. It can be considered that I did not disgrace your bloodline!” Shi Tatian said coldly. His voice actually did not contain the slightest bit of human emotion. Regardless of whether it was love or hate, it did not exist in this voice.
“Disgrace my bloodline?” Lu Xuan laughed loudly. “Shi Tatian, do you know the biggest difference between you and me?”
“It is because of this so-called bloodline. You respect the Rock Emperor’s bloodline, and you don’t dare to overstep your boundaries. You have spent your entire life developing the Rock Emperor’s bloodline, so you will never be able to surpass the Rock Emperor!” Lu Xuan said calmly, “This is your limitation, but I am different. I have never felt that my strongest strength is the born Taoism aptitude. I will always be the strongest because the born Taoism aptitude is just a tool to make me stronger. The Rock Emperor is not unsurpassable in my heart, so I can advance valiantly while you can only fade away in the masses!
“Every generation has its own talents, and each of them has been in the limelight for hundreds of years!
“Each generation is stronger than the previous, and that is the path of development. It’s laughable that all of you are infatuated with the abilities of the ancients. You don’t dare to question them, and you don’t dare to step out of the boundaries set by the Rock Emperor. Each generation is weaker than the previous, and you will never have the possibility of becoming an emperor.
“All of you treat the bloodline of the Rock Emperor as a god. It’s better if you don’t have it. Other than the Immortal Kings, none of you can become an Emperor!”
Lu Xuan’s words were deafening, and like a great bell, it struck everyone’s heart.
Since ancient times, after an emperor clan produced an emperor, there was no other emperor. Many people had tried to find the answer, Lu Xuan gave the answer from another angle.
