And at this moment, it floated in the air, seeming to deliberately evade people's attempts to grab it. Whenever someone reached out, it would suddenly sway and slip away.
Moreover, the island masters and star lords who had left earlier gradually returned to the scene, beginning to vie for the leaf.
All of this was enough to illustrate the leaf's power and preciousness.
Previously, there were too many experts, and the Creation Divine Tree didn't flee, so he had no chance.
But now, there were few experts left, and the leaf was running around again. It was still possible to fish in troubled waters, and with a bit of luck, he might get it.
At this moment, the five peak masters in the sky had unleashed their divine abilities, with water, fire, wind, thunder, and lightning crashing towards the Heavenly Emperor.
The momentum was such that it connected the sky and the earth, churning the rivers and seas. Yet, the Heavenly Emperor showed no fear, twirling the tree trunk in his hand.
With a hum, as if the primordial chaos was reopening, a red ripple spun out violently.
The divine abilities of water, fire, wind, thunder, and lightning vanished in an instant. The ripple struck the five individuals, sending them tumbling down like withered leaves in the wind, falling from the mortal world.
All five crashed to the ground, barely clinging to life.
"Ah? I was too heavy-handed," the Heavenly Emperor regretted. "If they all die, wouldn't Hongjun fight me to the death? Besides, if they die, the myriad worlds will lose several great generals! No, I can't let them die."
The Heavenly Emperor immediately descended from the clouds to check on everyone's injuries. Upon seeing them, his heart sank.
The five were left with only half a breath.
"Who has healing pills? Who has healing pills?" the Heavenly Emperor cried out desperately.
He knew that healing pills might not even work, but at this moment, he had to try anything.
Mo Qi heard his voice, but he couldn't spare him any attention at this moment.
Mo Qi was rushing towards the crowd scrambling for the leaf.
Meanwhile, Lian Min, Di Xiaodi, and others were chasing him from behind. When he sensed someone watching him from behind, he retracted his two petals and turned to face Lian Min and the others.
At this point, the great powers had not yet decided the victor. Going up would inevitably lead to a bloody battle. It was better to cut off the tail first before considering other matters.
At this moment, Xue Nü and Linghu Xiaoxian heard someone shouting, "Who has healing pills?" They exchanged glances: "We, we seem to have healing pills."
"Are they really effective?"
"Let's try!"
So, the two walked over. Xue Nü produced three healing pills, and Linghu Xiaoxian produced two. They handed them to the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor frowned as he fed the pills to the five.
After administering the pills, the Heavenly Emperor still sighed.
He didn't hold much hope for the pills provided by these two unfamiliar girls.
However, moments later, he was utterly astonished.
The five people stood up one after another!
Is this my hallucination?
The five were also very shocked. They had felt certain they were going to die, but who knew the Heavenly Emperor would save them.
Not only did the Heavenly Emperor not hold them accountable for trying to steal his possessions, but he repaid their misdeeds with kindness. Such magnanimity and bearing were truly admirable.
The five felt immensely guilty, apologized to the Heavenly Emperor, and thanked him for saving their lives.
The Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly and pointed to Linghu Xiaoxian and Xue Nü: "Don't thank me, thank them."
The five then bowed to the two girls and thanked them. The two girls felt ashamed and repeatedly said, "It was just a small effort."
The five bid farewell to the Heavenly Emperor and left.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the two cultivators with the cultivation of Grand Unity Golden Immortal before him, feeling a mix of laughter and tears.
How could such life-saving pills come from them?
However, in this world, there were many people who focused solely on alchemy and artifact refining, neglecting their cultivation.
"Where are you from?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.
The two were stunned for a long time: "We don't know!"
Is it that cold?
"Then who refined these pills for you?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.
"We don't know," Linghu Xiaoxian replied.
Do they need to be this cold?
Xue Nü pointed to Mo Qi in the distance: "It should be him who refined them."
"It is, or it isn't. Why say 'should be'?"
"He said he gave them to us, and we... lost our memories," Xue Nü said slowly.
"Oh." The Heavenly Emperor looked at Mo Qi, and countless images flashed through his mind.
"Interesting!" A hint of a smile appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's lips.
He then turned to the two girls: "You were injured by the Heavenly Book, weren't you?"
The two girls were full of surprise. This Heavenly Emperor was indeed extraordinary, understanding all the cause and effect with just a glance.
"Yes," the two girls nodded.
"Since you have lost your memories, don't know where you came from, and don't know where you are going, become my adopted daughters and come with me to the Silver River Heavenly Palace," the Heavenly Emperor said to the two.
The two looked at each other, unable to believe that the Heavenly Emperor would suddenly say such a thing.
This was like a thunderclap striking the two.
The Heavenly Emperor's daughters, second only to him and above all others, was something many dreamed of.
But how did such a good thing suddenly befall them?
Were they dreaming?
"It might not be appropriate. We are just commoners, and we would be a burden to you," Linghu Xiaoxian said.
"I am already burdened by the world, so I don't mind two more," the Heavenly Emperor replied.
Xue Nü and Linghu Xiaoxian remained silent for a long time, hesitating.
The Heavenly Emperor said, "I know your worries, that I might have some ulterior motives. But have you considered that the place you are going is the supreme existence of the Silver River world, supervised by all realms? As soon as I announce to the world that you are my daughters, no one will dare to do anything to you, including myself."
"Then, we thank Your Majesty for your favor," Xue Nü said.
Linghu Xiaoxian pulled Xue Nü aside: "What are you really thinking?"
"We've lost our memories, and losing our memories means losing all identity. The priority is to find a place to settle, to find our own identity. Whether we are the Heavenly Emperor's daughters is not important. What's important is that we can't continue to drift aimlessly."
"But, do we really have to leave him? What if he really... really is..." Linghu Xiaoxian stammered.
"Silly girl, how can we discern the truth with our own strength? If we become the Heavenly Emperor's daughters, there will be many ways to verify the truth," Xue Nü said.
Linghu Xiaoxian's eyes lit up: "Then, let's do it!"
At this moment, Mo Qi was locked in combat with Lian Min, Di Xiaodi, Mi Fan, and Yu Sang. Due to the confined space, none of their divine abilities could be fully utilized. They were all relying on fists and spiritual energy, simple, brutal, and direct, with every punch landing.
The princesses and princes were all at the fourth or fifth level of Saint Monarch cultivation. Any one of them could have annihilated Mo Qi. With the three of them joining forces, it was like an unbreakable wall of iron and copper for Mo Qi.
They even felt that Lian Min was a hindrance, so they kicked her aside.
Mo Qi could only employ his techniques, dodging between their fists and kicks.
Di Xiaodi roared, "Kid, you dare to provoke us, you're courting death! Hand over the petals, and we'll give you a whole corpse."
Hearing this, Mo Qi's heart hardened. He seized an opportunity and took out the petals, eating them.
"If you have the guts, kill me first. I've eaten the stuff," Mo Qi said while dodging.
Is this the kind of thing meant to be eaten?
Won't it poison him?
Di Xiaodi and the others were furious. He would rather be poisoned than return it to them. It was too detestable.
The few intensified their attacks, forming a circle and bombarding the center with a barrage of attacks. The entire space was enveloped in divine light. They didn't even need to see the person; in this indiscriminate attack, what difference did it make whether they saw him or not?
But how could they know that Mo Qi had already used spatial techniques to get behind Di Xiaodi?
Di Xiaodi, completely unaware, received a palm strike to the back of his head. He let out a muffled groan and met his end.
At this moment, Mo Qi also felt spiritual energy fluctuations behind him, someone ambushing him. Because he had eaten the petals of the Creation Divine Tree, his spiritual energy was surging wildly within him, like a tidal wave, surging and churning, causing his body to swell.
Without hesitation, he turned around, opened his mouth, and spat out his spiritual energy like a breaching river, rushing towards Lian Min, who was attacking him.
Lian Min was attacking with her Great Senluo Soul Power. As the two collided, both were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.
Mo Qi flew over Yu Sang's head and landed in front of her.
Seeing that he had killed Di Xiaodi, Yu Sang's eyes turned red. She suddenly erupted, her hands parting as if the entire space had cracked. A sharp divine light shot towards Mo Qi.
Mo Qi rolled over, and the Myriad Law Moon Wheel in his hand emitted a white light, slicing the divine light into two parts. Mo Qi's figure passed through the middle, and the Myriad Law Moon Wheel struck Yu Sang.
Yu Sang was greatly alarmed. This commoner was not as weak as she had imagined.
His arrogance was not solely due to his bad temper.
In a moment of desperation, Yu Sang raised her hand, and a ring-shaped magical artifact flew out, its light surging. With a hum, the heavens and earth trembled. The Myriad Law Moon Wheel was almost torn from his grasp, its light shattering instantly, and Mo Qi was sent flying backward.
Divine light flashed again from behind. Mi Fan, enraged, swung a large hammer. Lightning crackled around the hammer, its light dazzling, emitting continuous crackling sounds.
Mo Qi's back was about to collide with the hammer.
This lightning hammer was imbued with lightning power. Once it struck Mo Qi, he would be instantly annihilated.
And Mo Qi was already too close to escape.
It seemed Mo Qi's fate was sealed.
In Mi Fan's eyes, Mo Qi was beyond saving.
A smile crept onto his lips.
No matter how arrogant you are, you will be killed by me.
This is the price of arrogance.
However, Mo Qi's reaction disappointed him again.
The lightning hammer struck with a thunderous roar, creating a deep trench in the ground. Dust and stones flew everywhere, lingering for a long time.
But the person was gone.
Mo Qi had once again used spatial techniques to escape.
Mo Qi did not want to entangle with them further. He continued to use spatial techniques, shuttling through the air. Lian Min, Yu Sang, and Mi Fan, with their Heavenly Eyes open, could not find Mo Qi's trace.
In reality, Mo Qi had hidden himself to break through.
Although he had expelled some spiritual energy earlier, the spiritual energy within him was still violently colliding. If he didn't break through, his body would explode sooner or later.
He found a secluded cave, set up a barrier, and began his breakthrough.
