"Wu!"
Qin Ming opened his heavy eyelids, and a luxurious room appeared before his eyes. He was momentarily stunned, then sat up, holding his slightly painful chest.
"Didn't I already die?"
Qin Ming recalled the vicious woman with a national beauty, her eyes filled with hatred.
Thinking of himself as a Ninth Rank Pill Sage, he was actually killed by his closest woman.
That woman, for his Pill God body, poisoned him at the critical moment when he broke through to the Pill God realm and formed his Pill God body. He would never forget this grudge.
"Where am I?"
Qin Ming looked around at this familiar yet unfamiliar room, unable to remember for a moment.
Just then, "Zhi!" the door was pushed open, and a woman about thirty years old, with a beautiful face, entered carrying a bowl.
Seeing the woman enter, Qin Ming seemed to be in a daze.
"Mama!" Two clear tears slid down his cheeks.
"Min'er, you're awake!" The woman said happily, then quickly walked to the bedside and sat beside Qin Ming. "Why are you crying? Is your body hurting somewhere."
As she spoke, she began to check Qin Ming's body.
Qin Ming hugged the woman tightly. "Mama, it really is you! I'm not dreaming!"
Hearing these words, the woman realized that Qin Ming was homesick, not because of pain. She patted his back gently and softly said, "What's wrong? Min'er, after such a short time, you miss me so much?"
Qin Ming's body trembled as he held onto the woman tightly.
He felt the warmth of her embrace; countless times in his dreams, he had dreamed of his mother, only to wake up with tears streaming down his face.
In his previous life, his entire family was murdered by the Zhao family under the protection of his parents. He would never forget the scene where his father and mother died before him.
Later, when he broke through to the Spirit Beast realm and returned to seek revenge, the Zhao family had already been wiped out. Qin Ming searched for a long time but could not find out who had ordered their murder. He only knew that they were hired to kill his family. Despite all his efforts, he could not find any trace of the real enemy.
Now, Qin Ming had been reborn, and his mother was right in front of him.
Qin Ming clenched his fists tightly; in this life, he would protect his loved ones well and absolutely not allow anyone to harm them.
After a while, he reluctantly let go of his mother and wiped away his tears with his hand.
"Come on, Min'er, it's time to take your medicine," Qin Mother held the medicine bowl and slowly fed it to Qin Ming with a spoon. "From now on, don't fight with others anymore, okay?"
Hearing Mother's reproachful words, Qin Ming nodded. Looking at the spoon she offered, he drank it.
The medicine was very bitter, but it tasted sweet because Mother was feeding it to him!
When Mother mentioned about fighting, it also told him which time period he had been reborn into.
If he remembered correctly, it was this morning when Zhao Kuai stopped him and said he wanted to ride his sister and said many insulting things about her. He couldn't stand it and fought with Zhao Kuai. Zhao Kuai, relying on his Third Rank Martial Artist strength, beat him up badly and knocked him unconscious.
The Zhao family would attack tonight and massacre his entire family.
"Thank you, Heaven! Thank you for letting me return to this time!
I won't let this disaster happen."
After feeding the medicine, Mother said many caring words and instructed him to rest more. As she left Qin Ming's room, she carefully closed the door behind her.
After Mother left, Qin Ming stood up as energy surged within him.
A series of ghostly shadows appeared behind him.
At first, he didn't think he needed to use weapons against such an opponent. But now he had no choice but to take out his weapon; otherwise, he would struggle to defend himself. Rebirth through fire was powerful but required continuous consumption. If his bloodline power was overused, it would harm its source.
"I must admit that you exceeded my expectations. But now I will use all my strength." With Cao Yuwei's words, True Phoenix Fire converged towards him like a vast ocean, retracting the domain of True Phoenix Flame.
Intense True Phoenix Fire gathered around its body and transformed into a magnificent golden-red armor covering its entire body. Holding a battle saber, it stared at Miyoko with the appearance of a demon god.
Miyoko did not pursue further; she stood at a distance and slightly calmed her excited heart. Although this battle lasted only a short time, her emotions were becoming increasingly excited.
Before facing a Great Immortal King-level Undying Phoenix Fiend for the first time, she wasn't sure if she could withstand it. Her confidence came from Tang San's teachings previously. As the battle continued and she truly began to suppress her opponent while protecting herself from True Phoenix Flame using Seven-Colored Heavenly Fire Liquid, she knew she could do it.
Tang San had taught her many combat techniques over these hundred years that were best suited for her. Just like before when she used Dark Heaven Piercing Strike and Dark Heaven Hundred Claws. And just now when she cut Cao Yuwei's finger with Sword Star Cold for the first time. According to Tang San, these were true divine techniques that he slightly modified and taught to Miyoko—techniques most suitable for her to use.
The more she used these abilities, the more she admired Tang San wholeheartedly. Initially when Tang San told her these were divine techniques, she had some doubts. But now that she could continuously injure opponents and suppress them without divine techniques due to the gap in cultivation levels—how could it be possible?
Standing atop the Pillar of Imperial Heaven, all the emperors present couldn't help but look at this little girl with new respect. When True Phoenix Flame Domain appeared, they considered how long Miyoko could last under its influence. Even Tiger Emperor and Crystal Phoenix Emperor were ready to intervene and rescue her. However, as the battle continued, they were shocked to see Miyoko actually suppressing an Undying Phoenix Fiend Great Immortal King—truly suppressing it—and forcing it to undergo rebirth through fire. This was beyond belief!
As Cao Yuwei thought in his heart: A Great Immortal King of one rank higher than ordinary Great Immortal Kings isn't the same thing! Especially in the Heavenly Empire where they ranked among the top three powerful races. In terms of depth of heritage, Undying Phoenix Fiend lineage could be considered the strongest in the Heavenly Empire—it wasn't impossible since Fox Fairy Clan wasn't good at combat.
But even so, this little girl managed to suppress someone one rank lower than her. The Peacock Clan didn't have any Emperors now! Miyoko was still a Ninth Rank existence half a year ago and participating in the Ancestral Temple Elite Competition. Yet today she could contend with a Great Immortal King—what kind of strength would she have after another few years? How long would it take for her to become an Emperor? The emperors present were all bewildered because Miyoko's displayed strength far exceeded their expectations!
The Fox Fairy Emperor frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes in thought.
From his perspective, everything he did was for the better continuation of the monster clan and spirit clan so that Jie Jing Continent could remain as the core of the plane world.
Why target this little girl? It was because when she won back then, he sensed something unusual on her; from her companion's side too. Even as an Emperor, he could feel this threat—it wasn't directed at himself but what he protected.
Therefore, he secretly guided Dark Demon Emperor to chase after Tang San and Miyoko.
When Dark Demon Emperor returned saying there was similar divine power blocking him but already eliminated by him—the boy named Xueba completely annihilated—Fox Fairy Emperor indeed couldn't sense Xueba's aura anymore.
So all that was needed was to eliminate this little girl in her infancy or at least interrupt her fate; then the threat should disappear.
However, even Fox Fairy Emperor hadn't expected Miyoko's growth rate to be so fast. In just half a year or so, not only did she successfully transcend realms but also contended with one-rank-higher Great Immortal King-level bloodline power. The stronger her abilities became, the greater threat Fox Fairy Emperor felt from her. And this threat had risen to a new level.
Cao Yuwei's battle saber flashed with glaring golden-red light as killing intent permeated everywhere. Taking a step forward, he slashed fiercely. The sky twisted violently as intense blade intent enveloped Miyoko's body.
Still using brute force to break through skillfulness.
Miyoko's expression remained unchanged as she stepped forward proactively again and unleashed another Heaven's Profound Circle.
Once again, Cao Yuwei's powerful strike was deflected aside. All present were top-tier experts who could clearly see that what Miyoko was using now was undoubtedly a divine technique among divine techniques. Despite her opponent being much stronger than her in power, she couldn't break through her formidable defense.
No one doubted where this ability came from either; after all, Peacock Clan's greatest talent was Star Shift—a technique similar to what Miyoko used here.
After defusing Cao Yuwei's attack without rushing to counterattack immediately, Miyoko stood still without moving.
Cao Yuwei frowned slightly; how sharp-sighted was this little girl? After transforming into armor with flames on him initially, he had other means available if Miyoko attacked further—he would use those means to control her. But since Miyoko didn't advance further, it interrupted his readiness for action.
His battle saber slashed again with even stronger killing intent than
