Chapter 126: Master, Go Ahead and Act Recklessly, You'll Bear the Consequences Yourself
"Boom!"
The bodies of the father and sons were blown apart. After re-forming, they looked at Zhimeng with despair on their faces.
She was too strong. Though they were all in the Divine Fire Realm, the difference between them was like that of clouds and mud.
Furthermore, at this moment, they could not escape just because they wanted to.
The entire void was Zhimeng's God-Dao Domain. They were like trapped beasts that had fallen into a muddy swamp.
To escape, they would have to break through Zhimeng's God-Dao Domain.
Qin Cuixiao could do it, and it would only take a single breath.
But a single breath was enough time for Zhimeng to blow him apart several times over.
At this thought, a look of decisiveness flashed in Qin Cuixiao's eyes. He sent a voice transmission to his two sons, then burned his essence, energy, and spirit to achieve the ultimate sublimation.
Even if it meant his death, he would drag Zhimeng down with him.
Shua! Qin Cuixiao's body withered at extreme speed, yet the sword intent around him became even more terrifying.
Man and sword became one, incomparably brilliant, illuminating the myriad heavens and worlds.
The Qin family was gone. The sons who had accompanied him for tens of thousands of years were also crippled, their realms falling.
And he was no better off. The terrifying Yin-Yang Chaos Law rampaged within his body, eroding his life force.
Even if he survived, he would become a cripple. Besides, Zhimeng would not let them go. Rather than wait for death, it was better to perish together with Zhimeng.
"Hm?" Zhimeng let out a soft hum. Qin Cuixiao's sword of ultimate sublimation made her feel a hint of crisis, but that was all.
Zhimeng opened her hand, and a narrow, curved blade appeared. Chaotic blade energy permeated the air, tearing the void. She chopped down with force, her blade light like a bolt of white silk, splitting the void itself.
Boom~! Unsurprisingly, the long sword was sent flying billions of miles away. The terrifying remaining power shattered countless stars.
"So fierce and cruel, the Goddess Lady is as violent as ever." Ji Ning stared fixedly at Zhimeng's invincible figure, her eyes full of yearning.
When would she be able to become as invincible as Zhimeng?
Thinking this, Ji Ning silently retreated.
Swoosh! The moment Qin Cuixiao broke through Zhimeng's God-Dao Domain, the two brothers escaped at extreme speed. In an instant, they arrived before Gu Qing and reached out to capture him.
Gu Qing sneered. Thinking they could capture him as a hostage was truly wishful thinking.
With a single thought, the Calamity Black Dragon flew out from his body.
"Sss~" "What is this thing..." The moment they saw the Calamity Black Dragon, the brothers' pupils shrank sharply. They felt a fear from the depths of their souls, as if they had seen an indescribable great terror that could not be gazed upon directly.
"Roar..." The Calamity Black Dragon opened its giant mouth and swallowed the two crippled men in one gulp.
"How thoughtful!" Gu Qing sighed with emotion.
The Calamity Black Dragon had been heavily injured by the World-Destroying Thunder Punishment, and he had been worrying about where to find living beings to repair its damage. These two had delivered themselves right to him. If that wasn't thoughtful, what was?
"Stop..." Qin Cuixiao's eyes were about to split from fury.
At this moment, his skin was wrinkled and withered, and his white hair danced wildly.
Seeing the sons who had accompanied him for tens of thousands of years fall, he let out a hoarse roar and charged forward without a second thought.
However, he was blown apart by a single punch from Zhimeng.
After re-forming his body, his aura had weakened to the extreme. Although he was still in the Divine Fire Realm, he did not even possess one-ten-thousandth of the strength he had at his peak.
"I regret it so much..." Qin Cuixiao shed tears of blood, full of endless regret.
At this moment, the person he hated most was not Zhimeng, nor was it Gu Qing. It was Qin Shou.
He hated himself even more.
He had overestimated himself too much.
He thought that after breaking through to the Divine Fire Realm, he was invincible in the world and fearless.
He thought that since Qin Shou's talent was unparalleled, he should be aggressive when young, for only with a clear Dao heart could he walk further.
Thus, he repeatedly and willfully indulged Qin Shou's reckless behavior.
If he had not fought with the friendly Immortal Dao Lineages, perhaps they would have offered help based on their tens of thousands of years of friendship.
If he had not massacred clans and sects in the Central God Domain, perhaps Gu Qing would not have dared to openly destroy his Qin family.
All of this was his own fault; he had brought this upon himself and could not live.
The more Qin Cuixiao thought about it, the more he regretted it. His face twisted as he sank into boundless self-blame and pain.
He did not notice at all that the Calamity Black Dragon was watching him. His soul was being polluted by demonic energy, and wisps of demonic qi were emanating from his body.
"Revenge, revenge, I want to kill Qin Shou..." Qin Cuixiao's eyes were blood-red, his expression ferocious, like a mad demon, gradually losing his reason.
The Calamity Black Dragon devoured him in one gulp, then flew into Gu Qing's back.
Zhimeng's beautiful eyes shone with divine light, taking in all the changes of the Calamity Black Dragon.
The more she looked, the more shocked she became.
The Calamity Black Dragon grew stronger by devouring living beings and possessed an insidious curse that was impossible to defend against, as well as unrivaled attack power.
The grade of the Calamity Black Dragon was absolutely beyond her imagination.
When she saw that the Calamity Black Dragon was merely attached to Gu Qing, similar to a master-servant type of strange treasure, she was completely relieved.
As long as it was not a symbiotic being, with Gu Qing's talent and character, he would not suffer a backlash.
After collecting Qin Cuixiao's treasures, Zhimeng directly gave them to Gu Qing.
"There's no need, Master. I don't require them."
Gu Qing shook his head and refused.
Zhimeng froze for a moment. She looked at Gu Qing for a good while. For some reason, she actually saw a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Was it an illusion?
It must be.
After all, those were the assets of a divine artifact and a Divine Fire Realm cultivator. Who wouldn't want them?
Perhaps Gu Qing just felt he didn't need them for now, or perhaps he didn't want to accept such a precious treasure from her.
Thinking this, the corners of Zhimeng's red lips curved slightly, and her mood became pleasant.
"Just take them if I'm giving them to you."
"Fine!"
Gu Qing stopped refusing. After accepting the treasures, he asked, "Master, I want to return to the Star God Palace. Are you going back?"
"Go back? No!"
Zhimeng shook her head. A hint of a smile appeared on her cold, beautiful divine face, and a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes.
"As a master, breaking through to the Divine Fire Realm is such momentous news. Naturally, I must inform my junior martial sister at the first opportunity."
Her junior martial sister was Jiang Yu.
The two of them had been fighting openly and secretly for thousands of years, and in terms of strength, they had always been evenly matched.
But in other areas, she had lost completely.
Now that she had finally surpassed Jiang Yu in cultivation, she naturally wanted to flaunt it properly.
She really wanted to know if Jiang Yu could maintain her persona of an indifferent goddess, aloof from worldly competition, after learning of her breakthrough.
"Master, you're going to find the Palace Master?" Gu Qing's expression changed slightly.
"Mm!" Zhimeng replied, her expression eager to try, somewhat impatient.
Gu Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, the Palace Master is busy with two newly accepted disciples. We should probably not go and disturb her!"
"Then I have even more reason to go."
Hearing this, Zhimeng's eyes flickered.
She not only wanted to surpass Jiang Yu, but she also wanted Gu Qing to surpass Jiang Yu's disciples.
Gu Qing swallowed hard, wanting to speak but hesitating.
He knew without thinking that Zhimeng had no good intentions in seeking out Jiang Yu.
But Jiang Yu was an ultimate schemer, a seventeen-thousand-year-old Supreme Dao Venerable, currently at the Heavenly God Realm Perfection.
For Zhimeng to go looking for trouble with her was likely asking for it.
Gu Qing could not imagine what it would be like when these two women fought.
"Master, just go ahead and act recklessly. You'll bear the consequences yourself if something happens!" Gu Qing thought to himself.
