Outside the silent, distorted space, only three dense blood mists were so glaring.
Li Qi beckoned slightly, and ripples began to appear in the blood mist.
Immediately, a few sharp sounds cut through the air.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
From within the blood mist, several spatial rings flew towards Li Qi and were caught in his palm.
These were all the spatial rings from the three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation Transcendence.
He put away these spatial rings without any fluctuation.
Li Qi's eyes, however, swept around.
The surrounding Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, filled with uncertainty, quickly averted their gazes as they felt Li Qi's scrutiny.
At the same time, their eyes were filled with horror.
The fall of Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators.
And not just any weak ones, but those who were not new to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
And yet, the number of Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators who perished this time reached three!
Three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation Transcendence, if they wished, could join forces to destroy weaker markets in the Void or even the surrounding areas.
Yet, they were now killed as easily as slaughtering chickens.
Thinking of this, the bodies of the lower-ranked Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators around them couldn't help but tremble slightly, proving the fear and unease in their hearts at this moment.
Li Qi, however, paid no heed to this. He did not care about the horrified gazes of the surrounding Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.
He turned his gaze back to a small cluster of meteor fragments not far from him.
"Originally, I only wanted half. What do you mean by giving it all to me?"
Li Qi shook his head slightly and muttered to himself with a hint of helplessness.
His speed-enhancing talent, "Frenzied Speed," which granted a hundredfold increase, had undergone an augmentation. Unlike his other three talents that lasted only one minute, his hundredfold speed talent had a duration of a full ten minutes.
Yet, in just one minute, the three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation Transcendence were dealt with so easily.
Li Qi even regretted activating the "Frenzied Speed" talent; it was such a waste.
However, he did not waste any more time. Because of Li Qi's feat of easily dispatching three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation Transcendence, no one dared to have any designs on the meteor fragments in front of him.
His divine sense emanated from his body, slowly covering the batch of meteor fragments before him.
Before long, as Li Qi's divine sense covered more and more of the meteor fragments, his eyes lit up slightly.
"So many Dao Fall Fragments!"
In Li Qi's divine sense perception, amidst the dense meteor fragments, the Dao Fall Fragments, not too large but possessing special energy, were as dazzling as starlight in the night sky, drawing attention.
He gently raised his palm, and a gust of wind shot out from his fingers.
In the next instant, within that cluster of meteor fragments, a meteor about half a person's size instantly exploded.
Three fist-sized Dao Fall Fragments shot out from it. But before these three Dao Fall Fragments could fly too far, an inexplicable suction arose, and these three fragments were directly pulled into Li Qi's palm.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Streams of powerful winds shot out from Li Qi's fingertips, and with each shot, a meteor exploded.
Some yielded one or two Dao Fall Fragments.
And in the most abundant cases, Li Qi managed to find as many as eight Dao Fall Fragments within a meteor fragment roughly two people tall and one person wide.
In a short while, the number of Dao Fall Fragments collected by Li Qi had already surpassed three digits.
All eyes around watched Li Qi with longing, especially the cultivators at the first to third levels of Tribulation Transcendence. They could only search for the scattered Dao Fall Fragments left behind by the powerful Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.
During the previous meteor showers, they were busy searching for their own Dao Fall Fragments, not wanting others to get ahead, so they didn't have time to pay attention to the gains of the powerful cultivators.
But now, due to the delay, almost all other Tribulation Transcendence cultivators in the vicinity, except for Li Qi, had finished searching for all the Dao Fall Fragments they could find.
They could only watch as Li Qi alone harvested Dao Fall Fragments.
They were so envious.
From this small batch of meteors, the Dao Fall Fragments Li Qi had collected already surpassed the total number they, the lower-level Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, had gathered through scavenging and searching for scattered fragments over several days.
And it wasn't just a little more; it was several times more.
"Too enviable. This fellow Daoist has only come here once, and the Dao Fall Fragments collected have already broken a hundred. Unfortunately, in these few days, what I've found adds up to only a little over twenty pieces."
"Yes, Brother Song. I came a few days earlier than you. A few days ago, there were fewer fellow Daoists and less competition, but even so, I only managed to collect over fifty Dao Fall Fragments."
"Alas, comparing oneself to others is disheartening. If only I had the strength of that fellow Daoist, why would I be so humble, scavenging for scraps at the heels of those powerful Tribulation Transcendence cultivators."
The cultivators at the first to third levels of Tribulation Transcendence sighed, but they were helpless.
After all, Li Qi's current treatment was not due to luck, but earned by decisively killing three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation Transcendence.
If they had the strength to kill three cultivators at the fifth level of Tribulation Transcendence, they would naturally be able to enjoy the same treatment as Li Qi.
It was just that they didn't.
And in fact, not only these cultivators, but even Yin Chuan was looking at Li Qi with envy and jealousy.
No wonder Li Qi had refused the thirty-odd Dao Fall Fragments he had accumulated earlier.
He clearly looked down on such a small quantity. In just this short while, the Dao Fall Fragments Li Qi had obtained were several times his own.
And as the many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators watched Li Qi, their minds racing with various thoughts.
Nine-tenths of the meteor fragments in front of Li Qi had been thoroughly searched.
Within the nine-tenths of meteor fragments,
Li Qi had found a total of two hundred and forty-eight Dao Fall Fragments!
Li Qi's peculiar reaction was also noticed by the other cultivators who had been watching him.
Eyes, suppressing greed, looked towards the remaining unexplored meteor fragments in front of Li Qi. Someone couldn't help but wonder.
"Eh, aren't there still a small portion of meteor fragments left? Why isn't that fellow Daoist continuing to search? That remaining tenth of the area could at least yield dozens of fragments."
As he spoke, the Tribulation Transcendence cultivator couldn't help but swallow his saliva and casually said,
"Dozens of fragments? Could it be that that fellow Daoist had a change of heart and wants to bestow the remaining unexplored meteor fragments upon us Tribulation Transcendence cultivators?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they naturally drew rolling eyes from the surroundings, and some even began to tease.
"Fellow Daoist, wake up. Daydreams are sweet, but choose your time and place."
"Indeed, there are at least twenty to thirty Dao Fall Fragments in there. How could they be easily given to us? If you have the spare time for such fanciful thoughts, why not search your own surrounding meteors again and see if you've missed any Dao Fall Fragments, haha."
And just as this person finished speaking, everyone saw Li Qi's gaze fall upon a direction where a cultivator at the second level of Tribulation Transcendence was standing.
A faint voice rang out.
"This remaining small cluster of meteors, I'll give it to you."
