Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

However, at this critical moment, an old and majestic voice suddenly rang out between heaven and earth: "Stop!"

As the voice faded, a golden light seemed to transcend time and space, instantly appearing before the eighth ancestor of the Jin family, blocking the deadly finger strike. The golden light dissipated, revealing an old woman in golden armor, her hair white with wrinkles. Her face was etched with wrinkles, but her eyes shone like stars, radiating an unfathomable pressure—it was none other than the progenitor of the Jin family—Grandmother Jin!

Jin Taijun looked at Jiang Han, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes: "Who are you? Why do you want to wipe out my Jin family?"

Jiang Han looked at Jin Taijun who had suddenly appeared, and a slight change finally appeared on his face: "Jin Hong, you've finally come out."

When Jin Taijun heard Jiang Han address her by her name, she frowned and asked, "Does Your Excellency know me?"

"More than just acquaintances." Jiang Han smiled faintly, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "Ten thousand years ago, the Stone Clan's injustice—do you dare say it had nothing to do with you?"

Jin Taijun's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "The Shi Clan are descendants of sinful blood, that is an undeniable fact. How can you say it's a miscarriage of justice? You are meddling in other people's business."

"Ironclad facts?" Jiang Han snorted, his voice filled with disdain: "You and I both know the truth of what happened back then. In order to consolidate the Jin family's position, you joined forces with other royal families to fabricate charges, suppress the Shi clan, and cause the deaths of countless Shi clan experts. It's time to settle this score today."

"Insolence!" Jin Taijun roared, unleashing a terrifying supreme pressure that crushed towards Jiang Han: "A mere brat of unknown origin dares to speak ill of the past. Today I'll show you what true power and authority really mean!"

Despite facing Jin Taijun's supreme pressure, Jiang Han remained calm. The power of faith from all heavens within his body automatically activated, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the pressure from his body.

"Want to make a move? I'm ready to fight to the end." A fighting spirit flashed in Jiang Han's eyes. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, he would not only clear the name of the Shi Clan, but also make the Jin Clan pay the price for what they had done back then!
A true battle of supreme beings is about to erupt above the Jin family's cave, and the fate of the entire Imperial Pass will be rewritten in this battle. The cultivators watching from afar held their breath, their eyes filled with anticipation and fear. They knew that what was about to happen would be recorded in the annals of Imperial Pass.

"Could it be that she lived a second life?!"

The exclamation resounded like thunder outside the Jin family's cave, drawing the gazes of countless cultivators to the young woman in the center of the arena. Their eyes widened as if about to pop out of their sockets. Especially the later-arriving Wang family patriarchs and elders of the Heavenly God Academy, their mouths agape, their faces filled with utter disbelief. They had lived for countless ages, witnessing countless strange and wondrous events, yet this scene still exceeded the limits of their comprehension.

It must be understood that these were all highly skilled cultivators with incredibly sharp eyes. With just a glance, they could tell that Jin Taijun's current appearance was not the result of some unorthodox or supernatural transformation. The faint glow on her skin, like flower petals glistening with morning dew, was full of vitality; the light in her eyes was clear and bright, without a trace of the cloudiness of old age. This was clearly a truly vibrant young woman, an eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth.

Some cultivators couldn't resist extending their divine senses, cautiously scanning Jin Taijun's entire body. This scan sent a profound shock through them. Her bones, remarkably resilient and full of vitality, resembled meticulously carved jade, showing no signs of age. Her flesh flowed with vigorous life essence, every inch radiating vibrant life. All of this silently proclaimed that Jin Taijun was an eighteen-year-old girl, certainly not some ancient monster who had lived for countless years.

In the records of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is only one possibility that could cause such an inconceivable state—the other party has lived a second life!
Since the great upheaval of heaven and earth, the immortal matter of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has become extremely scarce, so rare that it is almost impossible to find. This directly led to the complete severing of the path to immortality. Even those cultivators with extraordinary talent and great supernatural powers could not escape the fate of demise. Even the supreme beings at the top of the pyramid, who could possess a lifespan of over a million years, still have an end to their lifespan, just like a burning candle that will eventually burn out.

Endless years have quietly passed. Logically speaking, this Lady Jin should have long since grown old and frail, her movements slow, her life force like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. But the Lady Jin that appears before everyone now gives the impression of someone just starting out, about to rise to prominence. Her vigorous vitality is even stronger than that of some young cultivators.

To live a second life is an extremely rare occurrence throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. How many people in the world can achieve this? Undoubtedly, this is a manifestation of Jin Taijun's extreme strength, and a kind of capital that commands the awe of all cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I have already revealed myself. Are you still not going to let Xiao San go?" Jin Taijun squinted her eyes, her gaze carrying a hint of imperceptible coldness. Her voice was like ice in the dead of winter, exuding a chilling aura.

"I've come here today to hear about the matter of the sinful bloodline descendants you speak of." Jiang Han's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked indifferently at Jin Taijun. Then, with a slight flick of his finger, the giant hand beside him, formed from ripples, suddenly clenched, as if to crush everything within its grasp.

"what--!"

A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out, filled with endless pain and despair, sending chills down the spines of the surrounding cultivators. Immediately following was a deep, booming sound, like muffled thunder exploding in their ears. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the primordial spirits of the three Jin family dragons instantly shatter within the giant, rippling palm, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that ultimately dissipated into nothingness.

"you dare!"

The moment she sensed Jiang Han's attack, Jin Taijun's eyes sharpened instantly, and she launched her attack almost instinctively. The various strange phenomena appearing above her head instantly condensed into a crimson beam of light, seemingly imbued with world-destroying power, carrying an aura of annihilation as it hurtled towards Jiang Han.

However, before this seemingly indestructible crimson beam could even touch Jiang Han's body, it was struck hard by a rippling battle axe that appeared out of nowhere. With a crisp "crack," the crimson beam was instantly cleaved into a shower of light that scattered and eventually disappeared without causing Jiang Han any harm.

In the end, Jin Taijun was still unable to save the three Jin family dragons from Jiang Han's clutches.

"My God! This Ancestor Hongjun actually killed the three dragons of the Jin family right in front of Jin Taijun!" A cultivator couldn't help but exclaim in shock, his face filled with horror.

"That's too domineering! He didn't give Jin Taijun any face at all!" Another cultivator clicked his tongue in amazement, his fear of Jiang Han deepening. "A Supreme Being just like that is gone! This is a Supreme Being, someone who is usually high above and revered, and yet he's gone just like that!" Someone sighed with deep emotion, their voice filled with regret.

"Speaking of which, what deep-seated hatred does this Ancestor Hongjun have with the Jin family? How dare he attack the Jin family so recklessly!" Some cultivators speculated curiously, their eyes full of doubt.

……

The countless onlookers were terrified by this sudden scene. They stared blankly at Jiang Han's tall, imposing figure, their expressions dazed, as if they hadn't yet recovered from the shock. In their eyes, Jiang Han's actions were utterly insane. To dare to so decisively kill the three dragons of the Jin family in front of Jin Taijun, a supreme being who had lived a second life, was undoubtedly a declaration of war against the entire Jin family.

"Give me back my third brother's life!"

Like enraged beasts, Jin Da and Jin Er suddenly appeared on the battlefield, their auras surging forth without restraint. Their powerful pressure swept across the battlefield like a raging storm, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly. Their gazes were fixed on Jiang Han, their eyes burning with raging fury, their killing intent almost piercing the heavens and sweeping across the land.

"return!"

Just as Jin Da and Jin Er attacked Jiang Han from different directions with earth-shattering momentum, Jin Taijun suddenly waved her robe and let out a fierce shout that exploded like thunder.

Instantly, Jin Da and Jin Er froze in mid-air. They turned to look at Jin Taijun, their faces filled with deep resentment, but ultimately suppressed their anger and slowly retreated behind her. Even so, their gazes remained fixed on Jiang Han like venomous snakes, as if they might pounce again at any moment.

"Mother, our third brother cannot have died in vain!" Jin Da and Jin Er took a deep breath, trying to calm their turbulent emotions. Countless phantoms of stars appeared behind them, and as the stars swirled, they released a power powerful enough to shatter the heavens, clearly ready to strike at any moment.

"Shut up!"

Jin Taijun whirled around, coldly glancing at Jin Da and Jin Er, before letting out another shout, her voice brimming with unquestionable authority. Then, she turned her gaze back to Jiang Han, her brows furrowing tightly, and said with a hint of gravity, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, are you determined to fight the Jin family to the death for the sake of a few mere ants of sin?"

Jin Taijun's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in everyone's ears. Her chilling tone carried an invisible pressure, inexplicably sending a shiver down everyone's spine, as if they were being watched by an ancient, ferocious beast.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Stone Clan members' eyes immediately filled with intense resentment and anger. Millions of years ago, their ancestors were the most powerful royal family in the Imperial Pass, renowned and awe-inspiring; but now, they had become "sinful ants" that could be trampled on at will by others. This enormous disparity filled their hearts with humiliation.

"Sinful Blood? You know the truth about what happened back then better than anyone else!" Jiang Han took a step forward, a powerful aura emanating from him. His gaze was like a sharp sword, staring intently at Jin Taijun. He let out a cold snort filled with endless mockery, "For hundreds of thousands of years, everything you've done, every single one of it, is enough to make you die a hundred times over!"

"I'm afraid you're the real sinner!"

"I have come to your Jin family today to clear the name of these so-called descendants of sinful blood! I want everyone in this Imperial Pass City to see whether they are truly descendants of sinful blood!"

In an instant, Jiang Han's majestic voice, filled with supreme authority, resounded throughout the entire Imperial Pass City like rolling thunder. The sound vibrated and dissipated in the sky, lingering for a long time, and every word clearly reached the ears of everyone in the Imperial Pass City, shaking them all.

"What do you mean by that!" Upon hearing Jiang Han's words, Jin Taijun's figure trembled slightly, and for the first time, a look of emotion appeared on her face. Even when Jin San was killed earlier, her emotions had not fluctuated as much as they were now; clearly, Jiang Han's words had touched the most sensitive spot deep within her heart.

"Since you're all here, why are you hiding? Why not show yourselves and discuss this matter of the Blood of Sin?" Jiang Han slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping lightly over the direction where the patriarchs of the Heavenly God Academy, the Wang family of the Longevity Clan, and the Zhao family were, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you have done what I have always wanted to do but have never been able to." Behind the elders of the Heavenly God Academy, a purple mist suddenly appeared, like the fog of a fairyland, slowly dissipating. An old man stepped out from the mist, his steps not fast, but each step seemed to tread on the heartbeats of everyone present.

"Elder!" The moment the old man appeared, all the elders of the Heavenly God Academy immediately clasped their fists and bowed deeply to him, showing the utmost respect.

Almost simultaneously, figures emerged from behind the patriarchs of the Wang and Zhao families, two prominent clans of immortality. Unlike the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy, these two figures appeared incredibly young, seemingly no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with handsome faces and eyes that revealed a depth and vicissitude beyond their years.

“That…that’s Elder Meng Tianzheng of the Heavenly God Academy, the Supreme Being of the Imperial Pass!” A knowledgeable cultivator recognized the old man’s identity at a glance, his voice filled with excitement and awe.

"For tens of thousands of years, he has been the one who has intimidated the supreme beings of other realms! I never thought that I would be able to witness his magnificence so closely today!" another cultivator said with emotion, his eyes full of admiration.

"Could those two be Wang Changsheng, the ancestor of the Wang family, and Zhao Haotian, the ancestor of the Zhao family?! Judging from their appearance, could it be that they've also lived a second life?!" Someone pointed at the two young figures, their tone filled with shock and doubt. (End of Chapter)
