One by one, the members of the Qi family dropped to their knees. The more this happened, the more it clearly demonstrated that they did not believe that Qi Zun would actually appear. This showed that they had learned the truth.
Even so, the truth was something that they refused to accept. They still hoped that Qi Zun would appear and give them a glimmer of hope.
Qi Gong saw the kneeling members of his family, and the strength drained from his entire body.
He looked up at Lu Yin in the sky.
Lu Yin’s eyes fell upon the patriarch, though nothing was said. Lu Yin simply stared.
Qi Gong clenched his fists tightly. "Third Boss, there is no irreconcilable enmity between you and my Qi family."
Lu Yin sneered. "Qi Guan showed me no respect, and Qi Shangjun ambushed me, nearly killing me. How do you think such enmity can be resolved?"
Qi Gong gritted his teeth. "Qi Guan is your captive to do with as you wish. As for Qi Shangjun, she betrayed the Consciousness Domain long ago and has been exiled from the Qi family. Her actions have nothing to do with us."
Lu Yin laughed heartily. "Smart move! Sacrificing a pawn to save the king. Unfortunately, I’m not buying it.
"I’ve said that I would destroy the Qi family, and I will do just that. Even if the High Seraph himself shows up, that won’t change.
"You think that you can scare me with Qi Zun? You are underestimating my Grandverse Manor."
With that, Lu Yin raised his hand before pressing it down upon the Qi family.
The Qi family took up a vast portion of the Consciousness Domain, and it had countless pavilions and towers that were extraordinarily beautiful.
As Lu Yin’s hand pressed down, all of the sunlight was completely blocked out as he brought an apocalypse to the Qi family.
Qi Gong roared in fury, "Third Boss, does the Grandverse Manor intend to force things with my Qi family beyond the point of no return?"
"You’re not worthy." Lu Yin’s voice carried no emotion at all as his hand fell.
Qi Gong’s consciousness surged upward, clashing with Lu Yin’s hand. All the while, the patriarch shouted, "All members of the Qi family, attack!"
The next moment, every cultivator who was a part of the Qi family moved to form spiritual treasure formations. As they were completed, consciousness erupted from various locations, each attacking Lu Yin like scattered rays of light that crossed the sky.
Lu Yin stood alone, high above everyone else. He towered above them like a mountain, allowing all of the consciousness attacks to strike him as his hand continued to press down, which caused Qi Gong to spit out blood.
The Qi family members stared in a daze. Why had Ancestor Qi Zun still not taken action?
Why? Could the reports that he was still alive have all been lies? Had their Ancestor never been planning to appear?
Had they known this, they would have fled the Consciousness Domain long ago. Why would anyone have waited?
The hand continued to descend.
Pavilions and towers were shattered, and mountains and lakes broke apart. The Qi family’s territory steadily crumbled.
As he coughed up blood, Qi Gong shouted, "Attack!"
The Qi family controlled the Consciousness Domain. While the Revolt Alliance had grown powerful enough to rival the Qi family, the Consciousness Domain had still been created by Qi Zun, and the Qi family’s foundations far exceeded the Revolt Alliance’s. For example, the Qi family was able to use the surrendered conscients, which was not something that the Revolt Alliance could match.
From underground, conscients rose up. Some had passive forms, while others actively took on the appearance of specific life forms. Regardless, all of them were conscients, and they all attacked Lu Yin at Qi Gong’s orders.
Dozens of conscients attacked. Included among them were four Stellar-realm conscients, nine Starlight-realm conscients, and dozens more of varying strength.
The weakest possessed consciousnesses at the Nine Gears realm, which was equal to a Semi-Progenitor’s strength.
Any conscient that was qualified to be taken to the Consciousness Domain would not be weak.
Dozens more streams of consciousness assaulted Lu Yin, but there was still no effect on him.
His star of consciousness remained as steady as a mountain.
Unless a Universe-realm conscient like Wu Wei attacked, it was impossible for anyone to shake Lu Yin’s consciousness.
Even when Qi Shangjun joined forces with three Spirit Ancestors to unleash a Celestial-level consciousness attack, they only succeeded in giving Lu Yin a brief wave of dizziness, which had little effect.
Lu Yin’s palm finished falling, and the mountains and rivers of the Qi family’s territory were destroyed.
Qi Gong spat out blood, his consciousness having scattered.
The other members of the Qi family let out cries of despair.
The Qi family was seeing its end.
Far away, Daoist Fengzhi shook his head and sighed. "Is the once-mighty Qi family going to be destroyed just like this?"
He was a member of the Revolt Alliance, and his consciousness had reached the Stellar realm, which made him as strong as a sequence powerhouse. He was second only to Shi Lin within the Revolt Alliance.
He had always considered his own power of consciousness to be quite formidable, but not even four conscients at his level of strength could shake the Third Boss, even when working together.
Unless some miracle occurred, the Qi family was doomed.
Shi Lin coldly watched from the side.
While outsiders believed that the Revolt Alliance and the Qi family stood in stark opposition to each other, the truth was that they had both been established by the High Seraph. Their enmity was nothing more than a performance for outsiders.
While their rivalry was false, Shi Lin saw no reason to help the Qi family at this moment. They had offended someone whom they could not afford to offend, and that was their problem alone.
The Revolt Alliance had also sent people to approach the Third Boss. Why had he decided to target the Qi family specifically? That was because of their attitude towards him.
Even if Shi Lin himself stepped forward, he would not be able to defeat the Third Boss. While the alliance leader was confident that he could survive against Wu Wei’s consciousness, he would also find it nearly impossible to harm Wu Wei, which the Third Boss had accomplished.
There was no doubt that the man possessed a Universe-realm consciousness. He was not an opponent to be trifled with.
If the Qi family was destroyed, then the Revolt Alliance would become the sole ruler of the Consciousness Domain for a period of time.
"Shi Lin, why hasn’t the Revolt Alliance taken action yet?" Qi Gong roared.
