To this, these three cultivators at the fifth level of tribulation transcendence would naturally not foolishly fulfill others' wishes.
They could only curse inwardly and abandon the competition with the black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator at the sixth level of tribulation transcendence.
The three cultivators at the fifth level of tribulation transcendence each fought for the remaining two-thirds of the meteorite fragments.
Seeing this scene, the black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator at the sixth level of tribulation transcendence, who had taken one-third of the meteorite fragments, revealed a faint smile.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator as he looked around.
In this most remote corner, there were now a few cultivators at the first or second level of tribulation transcendence watching him with longing eyes as he grabbed the third of the meteorite cluster.
The aura of a sixth-level tribulation transcendence cultivator surged forth, and in an instant, those cultivators at the first and second levels of tribulation transcendence immediately abandoned their unrealistic thoughts. They feared that if they didn't obtain much from the fragments of the fallen star, they might be severely injured by this black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator due to their overestimation of their own strength.
They might as well spend their time searching the scattered meteorite fragments left behind by the black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator as he drew the meteorite fragments closer. Who knew, there might be quite a few fragments of the fallen star there as well.
Thus, the most intense battle on the scene was among the three cultivators at the fifth level of tribulation transcendence.
During the struggle among these three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators, there were also some cultivators at the third and fourth levels of tribulation transcendence who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
However, to their dismay, while these three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators were fighting amongst themselves, upon seeing cultivators with lower cultivation levels attempting to reap benefits, they immediately joined forces without hesitation, driving away the others first.
Only after the surrounding tribulation transcendence cultivators of slightly lower realms dared not participate did these three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators continue their own struggle.
As for the remaining tribulation transcendence cultivators who did not have the chance to snatch the remaining batch of meteorites, they could only search for scattered fragments of meteorites in the surroundings, or look towards the location of the distorted space.
The eruption from the distorted space was not a one-time event. After the largest cluster of meteorites erupted, there were still occasional "aftershock" meteorite fragments erupting, among which many fragments of fallen stars could be found.
This scene appeared to be very strictly hierarchical. Cultivators of higher realms would first divide, and then layer by layer, the weakest cultivators could only obtain some meager leftovers.
This scene was completely observed by Li Qi. Seeing this, he finally understood why, after four to five days of meteorite fragment eruptions, Yin Chuan had only managed to collect such a small amount of fragments from the fallen stars.
After all, this was not an equal distribution at all. It was like a pyramid, where a small portion of people with the highest strength could obtain the majority of the fragments from the fallen stars.
The middle layer of fragments from the fallen stars was neither too much nor too little.
And the fragments from the fallen stars, jointly divided by the majority of people with the lowest realm, were pitifully scarce.
"It's too distorted. Fortunately, my strength is also quite formidable, so I don't have to search for fragments of fallen stars among those scattered meteorites like Yin Chuan."
Li Qi could not help but sigh. This was the way of heavenly treasures and earthly wonders, to each according to their ability.
Immediately, Li Qi looked again at the two cultivators at the eighth level of tribulation transcendence. The fragments from the fallen stars within the originally massive number of meteorite fragments before them had been mostly picked through.
The two cultivators at the eighth level of tribulation transcendence did not bother with the remaining scattered meteorites.
After all, from the massive number of meteorite fragments, the amount of fragments from fallen stars they obtained was likely unimaginable. Why would they tire themselves out fighting with these lower-level cultivators for the scarce remaining fragments?
Then, Li Qi's gaze shifted to the black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator at the sixth level of tribulation transcendence who had snatched the remaining one-third. His situation was similar.
The meteorites in front of him had basically turned to dust, and all the fragments from fallen stars had been harvested clean.
At this moment, this black-robed, staff-wielding cultivator was clearly a big winner, looking very pleased with himself and making no further moves.
"I can only go and fight for that area."
Li Qi's gaze shifted, and he looked towards the direction where the three cultivators at the fifth level of tribulation transcendence were fighting.
At this moment, these three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators were still in a stalemate.
None of them could defeat their opponents. Helpless, these three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators could only use all their means to take away as many fragments of fallen stars as possible that were close to them.
With a thought, Li Qi directly headed towards the cluster of meteorite fragments surrounded by the three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators.
Li Qi's actions were immediately noticed by the three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators.
Facing outsiders, these three fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators presented a united front.
One of them, a middle-aged man in a blue long gown with a cold expression, looked at Li Qi approaching, and a cold light emerged in his eyes.
"A mere first-level tribulation transcendence cultivator wants to join the fray? Get lost!"
He raised his palm, and pale blue spiritual energy surged out, covering the sky and earth, almost enveloping the area within a radius of ten thousand miles around him.
Immediately, this pale blue spiritual energy transformed into a ferocious, pale blue giant python, emanating a terrifying pressure.
Its lifelike snake eyes appeared incredibly cold, and as it opened its mouth, two seemingly illusory fangs were revealed.
With a flash, this pale blue giant python directly transformed into a blue shadow, rushing towards Li Qi to devour him.
The terrifying destructive power it carried was such that even a third-level tribulation transcendence cultivator would be severely injured and spitting blood upon contact.
Even at this moment, the lower-level tribulation transcendence cultivators who were searching for scattered fragments of fallen stars around them felt the terrifying residual ripples, and their faces changed.
"Hiss, who is that kid? Is he tired of living? He dares to get involved in a battle at the fifth level of tribulation transcendence."
"A first-level tribulation transcendence cultivator going after fifth-level tribulation transcendence cultivators? Even someone at my third-level tribulation transcendence realm wouldn't dare to intervene. Is he tired of living? Isn't it better to find some scattered fragments of fallen stars like us with peace of mind?"
"I don't seem to have seen this person before. Could he be a newly breakthrough tribulation transcendence cultivator from the surrounding void black market? What a pity, this young fellow who just broke through is like a newborn calf. After this, even if he doesn't die, his injuries will be enough for him to recuperate for hundreds of years!"
However, Li Qi's expression remained unchanged, and there was not even a ripple in his eyes.
As the pale blue giant python was about to approach him for a fierce collision, Li Qi's palm also suddenly rose.
The calm space around him immediately rippled, and an inexplicable oppressive feeling emerged.
He abruptly clenched his hand forward and then suddenly squeezed down.
"Bang!"
A violent explosion occurred, and the previously unstoppable pale blue giant python suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Then.
"Boom!"
It completely exploded.
At the same time, the middle-aged man in the blue long gown, who had attacked Li Qi and had no intention of paying attention to him anymore, seemed to sense something.
He turned back with a pair of shocked eyes and looked at Li Qi's location with disbelief.
