Mo Xiaowei walked up, "Little sister, you're amazing. You've bullied all your brothers and sisters, and now you can't find an opponent. Are you feeling lonely?"
Mo Xiaowen was immediately ready to attack her sister, "You don't accept it? Let's have a spar?"
Mo Xiaowei's expression changed instantly, "I accept, I accept. You're beautiful, and your cultivation is high. I'm truly convinced."
Mo Qi had no interest in listening to their bragging. He gazed at the distant sky, "The wind is filling the tower before the rain. It seems peaceful days will no longer exist."
The Saintess looked at his worried expression and found him quite handsome. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you worried about?"
Mo Qi gave a wry smile, "I don't believe you haven't calculated it. This world will not be peaceful."
The Saintess sighed, "Man proposes, God disposes. We can only do our best. In truth, there are no eternal banquets. The sun rises and sets, the tides ebb and flow. All destinies eventually end, and when death comes, one should face it with a smile."
"Yes, you've thought of the same thing as me," Mo Qi chuckled. "Are you about to say that life is short, so one should enjoy it while one can?"
The Saintess gave him a sidelong glance, "You have so many beauties around you, isn't that enough for you to enjoy?"
Mo Qi cleared his throat, "You said before that once this tribulation passes, we would get married. Have you forgotten now?"
The Saintess smiled gently, "Hasn't it passed yet?"
"This hurdle might not be easy to overcome," Mo Qi looked into the Saintess's eyes. "There will be a tough battle ahead. You take my children and leave, protect them well. Perhaps, I won't have to bother you anymore."
"Such a character," the Saintess gave him a look. "We can help you here. Don't you need our assistance?"
Mo Qi shook his head, "No. If I can't win, more people will be useless."
"If you had told me this a moment earlier, I might not have believed you, but now I do. Take care of yourself. I'll take them inside. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they are safe." the Saintess said.
"What?" Mo Xiaowen was indignant and looked at Mo Qi, "Father, I want to stay and help you. I want to see what kind of formidable opponent this is."
Mo Qi lunged forward, grabbing Mo Xiaowen's wrist with one hand. "You're so powerful, try to hit me."
Mo Xiaowen tried to pull her hand back but had no strength. She tried to cast a spell but couldn't gather any energy, rendering her immobile.
Mo Xiaowen looked dejected, "Father, what did you do to me?"
"No matter what I did to you, didn't I subdue you in one move?"
"But, but I wasn't ready!"
"When you face an enemy, will the enemy give you time to prepare?" Mo Qi said righteously.
Mo Xiaowen felt a sharp pain in her hand and could only say reproachfully, "Father, I yield."
As the Saintess prepared to lead the children inside, dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed more intensely.
A voice boomed, "None of you will leave today."
"Why does everyone have the same tone?" Mo Qi said, looking at the sky.
Immediately, countless bolts of lightning struck down, covering the entire sky. It was as if the heavy firmament had collapsed.
"Quick, escape!" Mo Qi shouted at the others.
But the entire world seemed to be covered by lightning. Where could they escape to?
After shouting, Mo Qi realized his mistake and immediately changed his command, "Counterattack!"
Before he could speak, everyone else had already unleashed their divine abilities and begun to fight back.
Various divine abilities and spells of water, fire, lightning, and thunder surged towards the sky, like colossal dragons, shaking their heads and tails, roaring, and lunging upwards. They formed an endless line, their momentum undiminished.
However, Mo Qi could already see that their divine abilities and spells were no match for the opponent. They would be routed upon contact.
Then, the people below would be reduced to ashes.
Mo Qi dared not hesitate. He pointed his finger, and the Dinghai Divine Needle roared out, expanding rapidly, both horizontally and vertically. The edges rubbed against the air, igniting flames, and the intense heat of the surrounding space spread in all directions.
Even so, the Dinghai Divine Needle's coverage was too small compared to the lightning above. It could only strike the center, not the rest.
But the center of the lightning rapidly collapsed, instantly forming a massive hole, with debris flying everywhere. Beyond it lay a clear blue sky and white clouds.
However, the surrounding lightning struck down, and with a deafening roar, dust and stones were instantly thrown thousands of miles into the sky, once again obscuring the entire sky. Heaven and earth were plunged into chaos, as if the end of the world had arrived for Mo Qi.
The entire castle of the Sun Palace was instantly razed to the ground, and everyone inside vanished in an instant.
Mo Xiaowen and the others outside the city were not spared either. Affected by the aftermath, everyone suffered injuries, some minor, some severe.
But at that moment, everyone felt as if they no longer existed, their souls drifting in a void of chaos.
Changping Tianzun, Changqing Tianzun, and Shengshi Tianzun were also pushed back by the divine power of the Dinghai Divine Needle. Their blood and qi surged, and they rolled in the sky for a while before steadying themselves.
The three were greatly shocked. The small insects below actually possessed the strength to shake a great tree, which was truly astonishing.
It seemed that Taiping Tianzun had not died in vain.
However, what filled their hearts was greater anger. Facing mere insects, they had never suffered such setbacks and humiliation. Who could tolerate this?
Looking around, they saw that heaven and earth were vast and desolate. They felt that the insects below had been annihilated, and their anger was slightly appeased.
However, Mo Qi's anger at this moment was even greater. He saw his children lying on the ground, their lives uncertain. The grief and indignation in his heart were beyond words.
But he knew that if the powers from the upper realm were not eliminated, the disaster would not stop.
So, he suppressed his sorrow, let out a long roar, and suddenly flew up. He soared into the air, his figure suddenly disappearing as spatial techniques were unleashed.
The three only saw a vast expanse below, with occasional fluctuations of spiritual energy. They assumed it was those insignificant insects struggling, so they didn't pay much attention.
Changping Tianzun glanced at the other two and said, "Why don't we just destroy all the star worlds? Let all worlds restart, and then all tasks will be completed at once."
"Good, I agree," Changqing Tianzun said.
"I'll go first," Shengshi Tianzun said. As he spoke, he pointed his hand, and a beam of light shot out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through a star world.
Immediately, that star world exploded with a roar, and fragments scattered in all directions. The surrounding star worlds were affected. Some also exploded directly, while others were deformed and swayed precariously, on the verge of annihilation.
Changqing Tianzun curled his lips, "You're too slow. Destroying them one by one, how long will that take to finish? Watch this."
As he spoke, Changqing Tianzun produced a gourd-shaped magical artifact. He blew into the mouth of the gourd and then aimed the opening at the star worlds below. Countless points of light shot out, and each point of light struck a star world. A continuous roar of explosions was heard as one star world after another detonated.
Dust and debris spread infinitely in all directions, plunging heaven and earth into a haze.
Occasionally, mournful screams could be heard, quickly drowned out by the sound of meteorite impacts.
The magnificent spectacle concealed a catastrophe of epic proportions.
The three Tianzuns were very satisfied and laughed heartily to the heavens.
