Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Peak of the Void Refinement stage!?

Lin Mo suddenly raised his head, pushed open the roof of the pavilion, and stared intently at the sky above the capital.

The once cloudless blue sky now resembled a torn rag.

A black void rift, tens of thousands of feet long, exploded above the imperial city with a deafening roar!

A terrifying, suffocating pressure, like a celestial river pouring down, crashed down on the Great Qian Imperial Palace!

"Husband... what is that?!"

Qin Ruxue drew her Lianhua sword and stood protectively in front of Su Qingyue, her expression extremely solemn.

Lin Mo stared at the ever-growing black crack, and his dark golden chaotic true essence suddenly erupted, transforming into a huge shield that tightly protected the entire Imperial Garden.

His eyes were icy cold, and a chilling murderous intent curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems someone is eager to settle scores with us."

"Snap—!"

A deafening roar, seemingly capable of tearing the entire world apart, exploded over the capital city.

The once cloudless blue sky was now like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, instantly covered with countless black cracks.

Immediately afterwards, the sky was torn apart by an unimaginable, violent force.

A void rift, tens of thousands of feet long, stretched across the heavens and earth.

The depths of the rift were pitch black, with countless crimson spatial turbulences churning and writhing like raging pythons.

A fierce wind howled as it poured in through the cracks, and the temperature in the entire capital city plummeted to freezing point in just a few breaths.

In the Imperial Garden, a strong wind whipped the water of Taiye Pond up several meters high.

Lin Mo raised his hands to the sky, unleashing his chaotic true essence from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm without reservation, transforming it into a massive dark golden semi-circular shield that completely enveloped the entire pavilion below.

"puff!"

Xia Youyue, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the black cloth covering her eyes was instantly soaked with blood.

Her "Netherworld Body," which could originally see through cause and effect, suffered a terrifying backlash the moment she looked directly at the crack.

"Close your eyes! Withdraw your consciousness!"

Lin Mo roared, pulled out a handful of top-grade Qi-replenishing pills, and stuffed them directly into Xia Youyue's mouth.

"Husband! What is this thing?!"

Qin Ruxue drew the Lianhua Sword from her waist, its blade flashing with dark golden light.

She had a small belly sticking out, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the sky, without any fear in them, only an intense fighting spirit.

Su Qingyue, Liu Yiyi, and the other women also stood up. Although their faces were pale, they did not lose their composure.

After all, they had all soaked in the Immortal Pool of Creation, and after undergoing a complete transformation, their temperament had already far surpassed that of ordinary people.

"People from the upper realm have come knocking."

Lin Mo's eyes were icy as he stared intently at the ever-expanding void rift.

In his mind, the system's red alert was still screaming frantically.

The words "peak of the Void Refinement stage" weighed on my heart like a mountain.

Above the Nascent Soul stage lies the Void Refinement stage!

It represents a leap of more than one major level.

This is definitely the strongest enemy he has ever encountered in the mortal world.

"Red Lotus!" Lin Mo shouted.

The air distorted, and Honglian, the leader of the Phoenix Hidden Guards dressed in black, appeared out of thin air in the pavilion, kneeling on one knee.

"Take them to the underground chamber! Activate all defensive formations. No one is allowed to come out without my order!"

"I'm not going!"

Qin Ruxue suddenly took a step forward, her long sword trembling.

"With a formidable enemy at hand, you expect me to hide underground like a coward?!"

"Stop fooling around!"

Lin Mo suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, and an undeniable domineering pressure forced Qin Ruxue back two steps.

"You're carrying my child, that's 'Innate Battle Bone'! Going up there now is just suicide!"

Lin Mo grabbed Qin Ruxue's shoulder, his tone extremely stern.

"I am the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up first! Your task is to survive peacefully!"

Qin Ruxue bit her lip hard, her eyes reddening, but she ultimately did not refute her.

"Honglian, take them away! Anyone who disobeys, knock them unconscious!"

"yes!"

With a wave of her hand, Honglian summoned more than a dozen Phoenix Shadow Guards who instantly appeared, protecting Su Qingyue, Qin Ruxue, Xia Youyue, and the other women as they quickly retreated towards the underground chamber.

Watching the women leave safely, Lin Mo took a deep breath and slowly straightened up.

With a backhand grab, the rusty, heavy "Great Wilderness Annihilation Sword" instantly appeared in his hand.

"boom--!"

Lin Mo bent his knees slightly and suddenly stomped on the bluestone floor of the pavilion, shattering it.

His entire body transformed into a dark golden streak of light, heading straight into the sky against the terrifying spatial turbulence!

At this point, the capital city had completely fallen into panic.

On Suzaku Avenue, millions of people stared in horror at the massive crack in the sky.

That was a celestial power that mortals could not comprehend, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Countless people knelt on the ground, trembling.

However, the army of Daqian did not fall into chaos!

"Clang!"

On the Meridian Gate tower, Zhao Wu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, drew his sword from his waist and roared furiously.

"Imperial Guards, listen to my command! Form ranks! Defend the Imperial City to the death!"

"drink!"

Fifty thousand imperial guards drew their swords in unison, their shields forming a forest, surrounding the entire palace like an iron barrel.

West of the city, the royal firearms testing ground.

"Quickly! Bring out all ten 'Psionic Destruction Cannons'!"

Gu Ling'er stood on the command platform, jumping up and down and cursing.

"Old Lu! Fill in the spirit stones! Light up all the highest-level array patterns!"

Lu Dachui, shirtless, led hundreds of blacksmiths, risking their lives to push ten enormous objects onto the high platform, their dark cannon muzzles pointing straight at the sky.

Meanwhile, at Daying on the outskirts of Beijing.

The 300,000 elite cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty, who had just completed their transformation, quickly entered combat mode under the command of strategist Chu Mengyao, like a cold war machine.

"All troops, listen to my command! Load muskets! Draw your swords!"

Chu Mengyao, clad in silver armor, stood on the high platform, her voice resounding throughout the entire army via the spirit-gathering array.

"Click-click-click—!"

Three hundred thousand psionic firearms were raised simultaneously, and three hundred thousand standard flying swords hovered in mid-air, converging into a terrifying torrent of steel.

Although they are only at the Qi Refining stage

But with the blessing of the Great Qian Dynasty's national fortune, this united military might actually tore through a layer of clouds in mid-air!

"There are no cowards among the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

Lin Mo hovered a thousand feet above the imperial city, glanced down at the army standing ready below, and a sneer of arrogance curled at the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head, his gaze fixed on the bottomless crack.

"Boom—!"

Deep within the rift, the spatial turbulence suddenly surged violently, and a massive, suffocating shadow slowly emerged from the void.

That's a massive interdimensional teleportation array!

It is ten times larger than the Xuan Tian Sect spirit boat that crashed earlier!
