Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker

"Master, what's happening?"

In the midst of the flower bud, Qin Zi was entangled by numerous golden stamens, feeling as if he was being strangled by golden snakes, making it hard to breathe.

Not only that.

The bud was filled with golden mist, intensely hot, so dense it seemed like it could ignite!

"This bud is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, but generally speaking, it should not have consciousness. This bud doesn't appear to be sentient, so it's very likely... someone has tampered with it, controlling it artificially!"

The voice of the blonde woman sounded.

"Artificially?"

Qin Zi's eyes flickered, almost instantly thinking of the Lu Family!

Because aside from the Lu Family, he had no other enemies on the Main Continent for the moment.

Moreover, consuming such a precious heavenly spiritual object to kill him, ordinary powers wouldn't be so lavish.

It must be the Lu Family!

"Oh no, Master, I'm being absorbed! These stamens are drawing out my life essence!"

Suddenly, Qin Zi shouted in panic.

He felt the power within his body draining rapidly, leaving an illusion of being hollowed out.

"Use the Night Emperor's Heaven-Slaying Blade!"

The blonde woman said, but apparently growing impatient, she said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

In an instant, she took control of Qin Zi's body, his hair turned golden and started growing uncontrollably.

"Night Emperor's Heaven!"

She raised her right hand, her golden pupils transformed into black, her hair flying as strands of black light emanated from her body.

These black lights converged above her head, forming a pitch-black crescent moon, exuding an unparalleled sharp aura!

"Slash!"

She swung her right hand, and the pitch-black crescent moon whistled past, circling around Qin Zi's body.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

All those golden stamens were severed, not only that, as the pitch-black moon blade swept across the petals of the bud, with a slicing sound, the petals were cut open, then she controlled Qin Zi's body to charge out.

"I'm exhausted..."

She weakly said, then her Primordial Spirit fell into a coma, allowing Qin Zi to regain control of his body, floating in the air.

"Thank goodness, thank..."

Qin Zi breathed in fresh air, relieved, patting his chest, but midway through his second "thank goodness," he froze.

"Master? Master!!"

He tentatively called out twice, receiving no response.

So, he stiffly forced a polite yet awkward smile forward.

"Greetings, esteemed senior..."

Ahead of him stood a figure shrouded in black qi, exuding a terrifying aura as it coldly looked at him.

"A mere Two-Heavenly Layer Saint can escape from this bud, a remarkable talent indeed, but you must not be spared."

The black qi figure spoke.

"Spare me, senior!"

Qin Zi decisively knelt, assuming the posture of catching a blade barehanded, crying out, "I still have value!"

"Oh?"

The black qi figure gave Qin Zi a surprised glance, curious about what tricks this young man intended to play.

Just for amusement.

As for this young man turning the tables on him...

He wouldn't consider such a thing, for if he feared even ants, he wouldn't dare to step outside!

He was a Nine Tribulation Emperor of the Eight-Heavenly Layer, rendering a mere Two-Heavenly Layer Saint like an ant before him.

Since he was here anyway.

Instead of killing him outright, why not play around with this ant a bit? After all, at his level, interesting things were now rare.

"Senior, to be honest, my real name is Qin Zi, and I come from a Fragment Continent."

Qin Zi quickly said.

"I know."

The black qi figure said indifferently.

"Actually, I also have a father!"

Qin Zi added hastily.

"I know!"

The black qi figure frowned slightly, seemingly displeased — I grant you a few more seconds of life, and this is how you humor me?

"Senior, my father once took me to an Ancient Battlefield on the Fragment Continent, where there's an Emperor's Artifact!"

Qin Zi exclaimed loudly.

"An Emperor's Artifact!!"

The black qi figure's eyes radiated with astonishing light, piercing through the surrounding black qi like two beams.

He grabbed Qin Zi's shoulder, breathing heavily, asking in a low voice, "You're not lying??"

The Emperor's Artifact, to most beings on the Nine Heavens Continent, was the most precious treasure.

There was almost nothing comparable!

An Emperor wielding an Emperor's Artifact could undoubtedly shake a quasi-emperor; what a terrifying weapon that would be?

"Senior, I'm in such a state, how dare I lie?"

Qin Zi, still in the "handless grasping blade" stance, shook his head with a wry smile.

Without waiting for the other to speak, he again smiled obsequiously, displaying strength, adding:

"However, that place was reached with my father's guidance, found within a spatial fold, so I don't know the exact location. To find the Emperor's Artifact, you must first capture my father."

The black qi figure coldly chuckled: "You want me to find your father and walk into a trap, right?"

"Senior, what are you implying!"

Qin Zi's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he spoke earnestly:

"I know my father's strength; he can't possibly match senior. Consider an emperor from a Fragment Continent, how strong could they truly be? They're just locals!"

The black qi figure paused, still smirking coldly:

"Such an amusing young guy, though you say it with your mouth, you still think in your heart that your father is stronger than me and can suppress me."

"But..."

He slowly turned his back to Qin Zi, speaking with a touch of amusement: "My power exceeds your imagination; since you say so, I don't mind taking out your father along the way!"

He thought this statement would certainly throw this smart-aleck young man into panic, leaving him ashen-faced.

However.

Qin Zi displayed strength once more with a grin:

"Senior, honestly, my father isn't as easy to deal with as he appears, but he has a fatal weakness. If you promise to spare me, I can tell you!"

"You!!"

The black qi figure seemed astounded once again by this youth's fresh take, inhaling deeply and then exhaling slowly.

"You would betray even your own father, how could you not betray me? It seems, I can't entertain you any longer!"

Boom!

In the next moment, his right hand lifted, carrying pitch-black destructive thunder, striking directly towards Qin Zi!

With one palm, the sky and earth collapsed!

"Lazy pig, if you don't come out now, your pigsty is going to be demolished!!"

Qin Zi roared hoarsely.

In fact, he had been stalling for time, inwardly begging the nine-phoenix furnace in his Dantian, hoping this Emperor's Artifact of the Celestial Eternal Race would awaken, but it remained immobile.

Now, it was a matter of life and death!

"Die!!!"

The black qi figure's eyes shot out with frenzied light, seemingly relishing the thrill of slaughter — after all, he was of the demonic path.

He came from the Lu Family, practicing demonic arts.

At this moment, beyond the valley, Qin Chuan, hiding in the shadows, also held his breath, ready to save Qin Zi at any moment.

But he was still waiting.

Until the very last moment, he would not intervene because surprises often happen at the final moment.

"Buzz!!!"

In the next instant, a bright crimson light flared up, a tremendously fearsome flame unfolding.

Instantly, the mountains on either side vaporized as if mirages, even a crimson hemisphere appeared on the horizon...

"It's happening!"

Qin Chuan's eyes sparkled with excitement, trembling all over, then he raised his massive Memory Stone to start secretly recording.

Qin Xiaozhu utilizing the Celestial Eternal Race's Emperor's Artifact!

This Memory Stone, if released in the right setting, would definitely catch Qin Xiaozhu completely off guard, possibly even leaving him utterly flabbergasted.

The little rascal.

I'm showcasing your inadequacies with overwhelming force!!
