Chapter 50: Desiring to Kill Hongjun, the Natural Stone Kings Gather

"This time, I will not only take back the blood debts that have been owed to me for countless years in Kyushu, but I will also take back everything that Hongjun ate and took from me in Kyushu."

Standing atop the Dragon Clan's sacred mountain, He Lang of the Immortal Realm gazed outwards at the world beyond the Immortal Realm, then down into the Demon Well within the Dead City. His killing intent surged, causing even the Old Ancestral Dragon to feel his body about to split apart, barely able to withstand the overwhelming killing intent—it was even more terrifying than the killing light of the most evil land.

"I'll go with you then. Once the dragons are free, I can rest easy. Let me use my last remaining body to make up for the wrong choice I made back then."

The old ancestor dragon glanced fondly at the younger generation on the sacred mountain and said to He Lang of the Immortal Realm.

He Lang of the Immortal Realm knew what the Old Ancestral Dragon meant. During the last great war between the Otherworld and the Nine Provinces Ancestral Gods, the Old Ancestral Dragon chose not to take sides. The Nine Provinces Ancestral Gods Youchao and Suiren died in battle, and only the Ancestral God Shennong survived, which led to the Nine Provinces civilization being destroyed by the Otherworld once again.

However, the dragon race wasn't much better off. The Heavenly Stele descended from the heavens, suppressing both Dragon Island and the City of the Dead. The dragon race's divinity was suppressed, leaving only their bestial nature. Tragically, they lived on Dragon Island for countless years. Only a portion of the dragon race on the Continent of Immortality escaped the suppression. Clearly, the Ancestral Dragon felt that it was because of a wrong choice that the dragon race was abandoned by the heavens.

"Senior Zulong, please stay and oversee the Nine Provinces. I have trump cards in hand. Even if a stone man is born in another world, he will not be able to stop me."

As He Lang of the Immortal Realm spoke, he activated the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique, which activated the remnants of the nine-part stone man within his body. Several causal chains as thick as an arm pierced through the void, connecting with the other parts of the nine-part stone king's body.

Although the Ancestral Dragon was a powerful being at the level of an Ancestral God, it was too old. The fact that the Ancestral Dragon followed him made him feel restricted.

On the Devil's Plain of the Eternal Life Continent, in a Heavenly Palace hidden by a divine array, as He Lang activated the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique, two chains of cause and effect emerged from the void and fell into a rough stone sphere and a stone dagger respectively beneath the foundation of the Heavenly Palace.

The next moment, the two ancient stone artifacts trembled slightly, and the Youchao Heavenly Palace collapsed instantly. The two stone artifacts shattered the void and disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already hovering in front of He Lang in the Longevity Realm. Then they rushed into He Lang's body and disappeared.

The world of cultivation, the valley of burial soldiers, the world of death...

In each extremely dangerous place, chains of cause and effect fell, taking away the bodies of the nine-part stone men. Some of the nine-part stone men that had been temporarily suppressed were revived and almost killed their suppressors.

As the old dragon watched as one stone artifact after another appeared before He Lang in the Realm of Immortality, and then rushed into his body, it raised its dragon claw and rubbed its dragon eyes, looking utterly incredulous.

If it wasn't mistaken, these stone tools, along with the stone arm it had just given He Lang, together formed a perfectly round stone figure.

However, no one could answer the old dragon's questions for the time being, as both the projection of the Eternal Realm and He Lang himself were currently immersed in the endless Great Dao.

With the nine-part Stone Man complete, a full imprint of the Stone Man King's Great Dao spontaneously appeared in He Lang's heart in the Realm of Immortality.

All the mysteries of a stone king's path to transformation were revealed in the Great Dao Imprint, and were comprehended by the projection of the Eternal Realm and He Lang together. The Great Dao of the innate stone king was fully displayed before the two of them, making their realms even more unfathomable.

Although the paths of transformation for stone men look the same—both involve emerging from the Primordial Demon City—there are differences in the transformation process. Before transforming into a stone man, no one dares to say that their path is correct. Witnessing a complete stone man's path made the projection of the Eternal Realm and He Lang's understanding of the transformation path of the Stone Man King become clearer.

"After the illusion is destroyed and reality returns, I will first go to the world of death to harvest those Stone Man Path experts who are undergoing transformation in the world of death, and then go to the other world to harvest some more. Then the foundation of the Stone Man Path will be almost complete."

After discussing with his inner self, He Lang from the Realm of Immortality, he immediately came up with a bold idea: to gather as much life essence and stone path as possible to make the most miraculous transformation.

Not only must his physical body undergo a transformation, but the foundation within his divine acupoints must also be transformed into a foundation at the level of the Stone King. Just imagine the foundation within the countless divine acupoint worlds within his body; if they were all transformed into a foundation at the level of the Stone King, then after his breakthrough, he would undoubtedly become the most powerful Stone King, becoming an emperor and a truly invincible emperor.

At that time, it might even be able to resist the rule that emperors cannot exist in all realms. In He Lang's view, the reason why emperors cannot exist is simply because they are not strong enough. As long as they are strong enough, they can break all restrictions.

The nine-part stone figure merged, transforming into a small stone figure that sat cross-legged within his body, resonating with him as if they had become one. This caused He Lang's physical body in the Longevity Realm to constantly shift between a stone body and a flesh-and-blood form. With his current cultivation level, he could not fully unleash the power of the Stone King Body by activating the nine-part stone figure, but he no longer needed to worry about encountering the Stone Path in the future.

When the projection of the Immortal Realm came back to its senses from its sea of ​​consciousness, it saw a pair of eyes close to its face. It almost couldn't help but throw a punch, but at the last moment it realized who the eyes belonged to and stopped in time.

"Senior Zulong, what is this?"

"Your battle body shifts between the stone body and the flesh body. I never expected that you could control the stone man. The stone man is said to be related to the path after the Ancestral God. I have studied it before, but I have not found anything. I cannot even activate it. I only know that it is very powerful. Even the Ancestral Dragon's Claw could not destroy it. Unfortunately, I did not see anything. I only saw a void inside your body."

The old dragon regretted not being able to see the mystery of the stone man before. Now that the complete stone man has appeared and is being controlled by He Lang of the Longevity Realm, it is naturally very curious.

He Lang from the Immortal Realm was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. His body was not so easily seen. His battle body, perfectly honed by the Heavenly Stele Mystic Method, was truly immortal and indestructible. Even if the universe were to reopen, it would not be able to break through his skin, let alone see it clearly.

However, he still took out the perfect stone figure and let the old ancestor dragon study it for a while. The old ancestor dragon shook its head, still unable to see the mystery within. After studying it for a while, it returned the stone figure to He Lang of the Longevity Realm.

Just as the two were talking, Xiao Chen and Ke Ke reappeared. Xiao Chen was holding a long sword of the Ancestral God level, while Ke Ke was holding many precious divine medicines and spiritual fruits.

"Brother He Lang, Senior Zu Long!"

Xiao Chen greeted He Lang and the old ancestor with a smug look on his face.

"Xiao Chen, you've experienced what the Realm of Immortality is like. I plan to send you back to the Nine Provinces. With the Dragon Clan's collection, you won't lack external resources for your cultivation for the time being. Go back to Ancestral Dragon Village to cultivate in seclusion for a while. I'm about to destroy the illusory world."

He Lang said to Xiao Chen.

"Okay! Be careful, Brother He."

He Lang nodded slightly, and then a divine thought entered Xiao Chen's heart, evolving into the profound law on the Heavenly Stele.

"This is the follow-up Qi cultivation diagram of the Heavenly Stele Profound Method. Go back and cultivate it diligently."

Xiao Chen looked at the six Heavenly Stele imprints in his sea of ​​consciousness, feeling incredibly excited.

He Lang from the Immortal Realm passed on the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique to him mainly because he felt that Xiao Chen in the original work was too tragic. He was like a human delivery box, sent wherever he was needed. He died several times and came back to life. His relatives and friends were also tragic.

Now that he's risen to prominence, Xiao Chen no longer needs to deliver packages, but He Lang doesn't want him to waste his potential like this. Xiao Chen still has good potential in road construction.

"Brother He, thank you!"

"No need to be so polite!"

After Xiao Chen and Ke Ke discussed it, Ke Ke also decided to go to Kyushu with Xiao Chen. In an instant, He Lang broke through the space between the Realm of Immortality and Kyushu, sending them back to Zulong Village.
