126: Master, just do your best. If anything goes wrong, you will bear the consequences.

"Boom!"

The bodies of the father and two sons exploded, then reformed again, as they looked at Zhi Meng in despair.

She was too strong; though they were all in the Divine Fire Realm, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Moreover, at this moment, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

The entire void was Zhi Meng's Divine Dao Domain; they were like trapped beasts in a muddy swamp.

To escape, they would have to break through Zhi Meng's Divine Dao Domain.

Qin Cui Xiao could do it, and it would only take him one breath.

But one breath was enough for Zhi Meng to blast him apart several times over.

Thinking of this, a look of grim determination flashed in Qin Cui Xiao's eyes.

He sent a message to his two sons, then burned his essence, qi, and spirit, undergoing an extreme sublimation.

Even if he died, he would drag Zhi Meng down with him.

Whoosh!

Qin Cui Xiao's body rapidly withered, yet the sword intent around him grew even more terrifying.

Man and sword became one, shining with extreme brilliance, illuminating the All Heavens Myriad Realms.

The Qin Family was gone.

His sons, who had accompanied him for tens of thousands of years, were also crippled, their realms rapidly falling.

And he wasn't doing any better.

Terrifying Yin-Yang Chaotic Laws raged within his body, eroding his life force.

Even if he survived, he would become a cripple, his realm plummeting.

Besides, Zhi Meng wouldn't let them go.

Rather than waiting for death, it was better to perish with Zhi Meng.

"Hm?"

Zhi Meng hummed softly.

Qin Cui Xiao's ultimate sublimated sword strike made her feel a hint of danger.

But that was all.

Zhi Meng opened her hand, and a long, narrow curved blade appeared, exuding chaotic blade energy that tore through the void.

She brought it down with a powerful chop, the blade light like a bolt of silk, splitting the very void.

Boom~!

Without surprise, the longsword was sent flying hundreds of millions of miles, its terrifying aftershock shattering countless stars.

"Too brutal, Goddess Adult is as savage as ever."

Ji Ning gazed intently at Zhi Meng's invincible figure, her eyes filled with longing.

When would she be as invincible as Zhi Meng?

Thinking this, Ji Ning silently retreated a distance to avoid being harmed by the aftermath of the divine abilities.

Whoosh!

The two brothers, the moment Qin Cui Xiao broke through Zhi Meng's Divine Dao Domain, fled at top speed, instantly appearing before Gu Qing and reaching out to grab him.

Gu Qing sneered, thinking they wanted to take him hostage was truly overthinking it.

With a thought, the Calamity Black Dragon flew out from his body.

"Hiss~"

"What is this thing...?"

The moment they saw the Calamity Black Dragon, the brothers' pupils constricted, feeling fear from the depths of their souls.

It was as if they had seen an unspeakable, great terror, something not to be looked at directly.

"Roar..."

The Calamity Black Dragon opened its huge maw and swallowed the two crippled men in one gulp.

"How thoughtful!" Gu Qing exclaimed with emotion.

The Calamity Black Dragon was severely wounded by the World-Ending Lightning Punishment, and he was worried about where to find living beings to repair its damage.

These two just delivered themselves.

What else could this be but thoughtfulness?

"Stop..."

Qin Cui Xiao's eyes were bloodshot and about to split.

At this moment, his skin was wrinkled and withered, his white hair wildly disheveled.

Seeing his sons, who had accompanied him for tens of thousands of years, perish, he immediately roared in anguish, charging forward recklessly.

However, he was blasted apart by Zhi Meng's punch.

After reforming his body, his aura had weakened to an extreme degree; although he was still in the Divine Fire Realm, he didn't even possess one ten-thousandth of his peak strength.

"I hate it..." Qin Cui Xiao shed tears of blood, regretting his actions.

At this moment, the person he hated most was not Zhi Meng, 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 would be invincible in the world, unconstrained by anything.

He thought Qin Shou had unparalleled talent, and that a young man should be arrogant and uphold his Dao Heart to go further.

Therefore, he had repeatedly indulged Qin Shou's reckless behavior.

If he hadn't clashed with the immortal Dao Lineages he was friendly with, perhaps with tens of thousands of years of friendship, they might have offered assistance.

If he hadn't wantonly slaughtered sects and annihilated clans in the Central God Domain, perhaps Gu Qing wouldn't have dared to openly destroy his Qin Family.

All of this was his own doing, his own evil deeds leading to his demise.

The more Qin Cui Xiao thought, the more he regretted, his face twisted, immersed in boundless self-reproach and pain.

He completely failed to notice that the Calamity Black Dragon was watching him, his soul polluted by evil demonic energy, his body emitting wisps of demonic qi.

"Revenge, revenge, I will kill Qin Shou..." Qin Cui Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, his face ferocious, like a madman, gradually losing his sanity.

The Calamity Black Dragon swallowed him in one gulp, then flew into Gu Qing's back.

Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes shone brightly, taking in all the changes of the Calamity Black Dragon.

The more she looked, the more startled she became.

The Calamity Black Dragon could grow stronger by devouring living beings, and it possessed strange, insidious curses and unparalleled attack power.

The level of the Calamity Black Dragon was definitely beyond her imagination.

When she saw that the Calamity Black Dragon was merely attached to Gu Qing, similar to a master-servant exotic artifact, she was completely relieved.

As long as it wasn't a symbiotic entity, with Gu Qing's talent and temperament, he wouldn't suffer a backlash.

Collecting Qin Cui Xiao's treasures, Zhi Meng directly gave them to Gu Qing.

"No need, Master, I don't need them."

Gu Qing shook his head, refusing.

Zhi Meng was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Qing for a while.

She didn't know why, but she actually saw a hint of disdain in Gu Qing's eyes.

Was it an illusion?

It must be.

After all, those were divine artifacts and the net worth of a Divine Fire Realm cultivator; who wouldn't want them?

Perhaps Gu Qing just felt he didn't need them temporarily, or perhaps he didn't want to accept such precious treasures from her.

Thinking this, Zhi Meng's red lips curved, her mood joyous.

"Take them when I give them to you."

"Alright!"

Gu Qing no longer refused.

After accepting the treasures, he asked, "Master, I want to return to the Star God Temple. Are you going back?"

"Go back? No!"

Zhi Meng shook her head, a hint of a smile appearing on her cold, beautiful divine face, her eyes glinting with a mischievous light.

"As your Master, such important news of my breakthrough to the Divine Fire Realm must naturally be told to my junior sister at the first opportunity."

Her junior sister was Jiang Yu.

The two had been openly and secretly competing 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 had to show off and boast.

She was very curious to know if Jiang Yu could maintain her detached, calm, and uncontending goddess persona after learning of her breakthrough to the Divine Fire Realm.

"Master is going to find the Palace Lord?" Gu Qing's expression changed slightly.

"Mm!" Zhi Meng hummed, her expression eager, somewhat impatient.

Gu Qing: "..."

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Master, the Palace Lord is busy with two newly accepted disciples. Let's not disturb her, shall we?"

"Then I must go even more."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Meng's eyes sparkled.

She not only wanted to get ahead of Jiang Yu, but also wanted Gu Qing to get ahead of Jiang Yu's disciples.

Gu Qing swallowed, wanting to speak but holding back.

He didn't need to think to know that Zhi Meng's visit to Jiang Yu definitely had ill intentions.

But Jiang Yu was an ultimate schemer, a supreme Dao Venerable who had lived for seventeen years, currently at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm.

Zhi Meng going to provoke her was probably asking for trouble.

Gu Qing couldn't imagine what it would be like when these two women started fighting.

"Master, just go ahead and cause trouble; you'll bear the consequences yourself!" Gu Qing thought to himself.

Since he couldn't stop her, Gu Qing was helpless and powerless.
