353: Chapter 353 The Qin Clan's Rebellion

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed as a dazzling, boundless halo materialized behind Qin Wushang.

That was his saint ring!

"This is... how is this possible!"

The moment he saw the saint ring, Qin Yutian exclaimed in shock.

It was too huge!

If his own saint ring was a small star, then Qin Wushang's saint ring was an eternal sun.

Whether it was the flowing Dao principles or the shimmering patterns, none of it could compare to his own saint ring.

The saint ring blazed, Chaos flowed, evolving into a brilliant Chaos origin, manifesting the Realm of Origins.

He recognized it at a glance!

"Chaos Saint Ring... Chaos Saint, you actually cultivate the Ancient Path of Cultivation."

"You... you didn't imprint a dao seed; you use your body as the seed!"

As the son of Emperor Yun, in the era he hailed from, the Qin Clan was a colossal entity ruling over the entire Wild Heaven. He naturally understood the concept of using one's body as the seed.

That was an ancient cultivation method, a severed path of cultivation!

He had once thought of embarking on such a path himself...

But no matter how monstrous his talent, the ancient path was broken, becoming a dead end, not the so-called path of invincibility...

He severed himself again and again, attempted to plant the dao seed, but failed each time, gradually growing disheartened and resigned, forced to conform with the world...

Yet, emerging in this era, he witnessed the path of invincibility in a contemporary monster.

"Boom!"

Despite his shock, Qin Wushang's body trembled, manifesting the Emperor Descends Upon the Nine Heavens, forcefully propping up the heavens and earth as he threw a punch towards the golden Emperor's Decree.

The Emperor's Decree thundered, the recoil force snapping the stunned Qin Yutian back to his senses.

He continuously changed hand seals, spewing dense, intricate Dao patterns, constantly reciting true mantras.

"So what if it's the path of invincibility? It doesn't mean I will lose to you!"

"Kneel before this Imperial Son!"

He roared, his Emperor's blood burning.

Qin Wushang's body swelled violently, merging with the Emperor Descends Upon the Nine Heavens manifestation. He grew to a height of ten thousand zhang, towering between heaven and earth.

"Kneel? You are not qualified."

"The one who should prostrate and kowtow has always been you!"

He bellowed, the Chaos Saint Ring rotating as boundless fist light converged on his fist.

"Five Hundred Times World King Fist!"

"Boom!"

A single punch was delivered. The Great Dao of Strength manifested, shattering everything as it landed on the golden Emperor's Decree.

The Emperor's Decree exploded!

The terrifying punch was overwhelmingly domineering, peerless. Its momentum undiminished, it continued its devastating path.

Qin Yutian reacted swiftly, immediately activating his tempered body technique, erupting with terrifying physical strength as he threw a punch in return.

"Bang!"

Two fists collided, like two primordial beings clashing.

Qin Yutian was sent flying, vomiting copious amounts of blood.

"You have lost!"

Qin Wushang took a step forward, shouting loudly.

"Imperial Son!"

The other Qin Clan youths cried out, rushing over immediately to support Qin Yutian.

They were utterly terrified.

Everyone present knew of Qin Wushang.

The Qin Wushang of the past...

Compared to the current Qin Wushang, it left a very unpleasant taste in their hearts.

"Qin Wushang! This is our clan's Imperial Son! The Imperial Son Ancestor! How could you do this!"

"Aren't you afraid of the Ancestors' wrath?"

A woman shouted angrily, her voice trembling slightly.

She was very afraid, trying to make her voice louder to mask the fear in her heart.

"Qin Ruobing, you big idiot, shut up!"

Qin Wushang glanced at her disdainfully.

This woman was somewhat notable in the Qin Clan, possessing some talent. If she hadn't insulted him before...

She would be dead today!

"You!"

"Imperial Son... he!"

Qin Ruobing stamped her foot in anger, looking helplessly at Qin Yutian's pale face.

However, the other party directly reprimanded her.

"Silence!"

After speaking, he looked up at Qin Wushang, then cupped his hands in a gesture that surprised everyone.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness, the Imperial Son!"

He proclaimed loudly, with great respect.

"Oh?"

"Imperial Son... heh, shouldn't that be you?"

Qin Wushang spoke with some surprise.

He descended, standing at the same height, his aura withdrawn as he met the other's gaze.

"Father said to let me contend for the Emperor's Path with you."

"I was born powerful, with Heaven-Defying fortune. Naturally, I would not submit to you easily."

"After this battle, your strength has convinced me."

"Father is still that father... There is indeed a reason for his choice."

Qin Yutian murmured, his words holding no trace of resentment, instead very calm.

"Follow me... Emperor Yun..."

Hearing such words, Qin Wushang couldn't help but recall the old man from the inheritance ground back then.

"Even after death, he still made such arrangements."

"Was it worth it?"

Qin Wushang whispered.

"Grandfather released you. How is he?"

He thought for a moment and inquired.

"His life is nearing its end."

"He was already injured before, with limited Lifespan. He ventured into the Nine Nether Burial Abyss, was affected by the Burial Dao there, and is on the verge of Transforming into the Dao..."

Thinking of Qin Lie, Qin Yutian couldn't help but frown.

That old fellow was truly terrifying. With the strength of a Saint Venerable, relying on a single blade, he managed to fight his way deep into the Nine Nether Burial Abyss.

That was a place even Quasi-Emperors would be wary of!

"Limited Lifespan?"

Qin Wushang frowned.

"Let's go!"

"Since you said you will follow me, then come with me and leave for the Qin Clan."

After speaking, he immediately set off.

He had no interest in the Qin Clan. If they provoked him, he would destroy them.

His eyes held only his grandfather.

...

Qin Clan.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

In a quiet courtyard, a white-haired old man coughed incessantly.

He sat, yet resembled a withered flower, teetering on the brink.

"Qin Lie."

"You are going to die."

Another elder spoke. Though not as aged, he also exuded an aura of lifelessness.

"Ancestor, eternal life is but an illusion."

"Who in this world can truly be immortal?"

"It's merely a difference between dying early or dying late."

Qin Lie stated frankly.

To have persisted until now was already a Heaven-Defying feat for him.

He had gotten his money's worth.

"But, what the Progenitor entrusted to us is not yet complete."

"We few old bones may not be able to protect him."

The elder murmured, somewhat helpless.

"We will do what we can."

"Since they have come here, we will ensure they never return."

Qin Lie said, a blade gathering in his turbid eyes.

"I have secretly sent a message to your other son. If he can come, we will have no worries this time."

The elder said one more thing.

"Zhanzhou... no, Ancestor, you must not do this."

"You are setting them up for fratricide!"

"Although that unfilial son Zhantian has not shown himself, I am certain this is his doing."

"I am about to die. I do not wish to see my sons turn on each other again!"

"Let me use this old bone to take them out!"

Qin Lie said urgently.

He was about to die. If he saw his sons and grandsons killing each other before his death...

He would not rest in peace!

"Zhanzhou is already an Emperor in a different sense. His methods reach the heavens. It is entirely possible for him to pacify the Qin Clan and even restore its unity!"

"As for Qin Zhantian... if he truly lives, he must also die! It would be best if he is already dead!"

"He is merely a branch lineage with tainted blood! How dare he think of swallowing our main lineage! Seeking death!"

The elder spoke, killing intent radiating from him.

According to his plan, as long as the message was sent out, this turmoil within the Qin Clan would inevitably be under control.

"Old thing! You have no chance!"

"Your only choice is to offer half your people, then submit completely to our Taihuang Heaven Qin Clan!"
