"The Black Market is shattered!!!"
Many cultivators who had escaped stared wide-eyed, some in disbelief at the scene.
This was merely the aftermath.
If such an explosion had truly occurred within the Void Black Market, wouldn't that mean it could instantly be blown to smithereens?
Looking at the Void Black Market, now broken into dozens of pieces.
The shops that were usually bustling with people had turned into ruins.
Fortunately, the cultivators doing business in these shops were smart.
They immediately hid their precious treasures in spatial rings and fled with the main group.
Otherwise, if they had stayed to guard their shops, not only would they be gone, but their treasures would likely have vanished as well.
Now, it was merely a loss of a shop at most.
Hadn't the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion shop been smashed so many times and yet quickly repaired?
"Ahhhh!"
Just then, from the center of the explosion, Tian Mo's figure leaped out.
The cultivators who had already distanced themselves from the Void Black Market saw Tian Mo's current state, their pupils involuntarily contracting.
Tian Mo was utterly disheveled.
His aura was weak, he was covered in blood, and many parts of his body were a bloody mess.
For a Tribulation Stage expert to be so pathetic was something these cultivators of the Void Black Market had never witnessed.
Some frequent visitors to the Void Black Market were naturally aware of the identities of the three cultivators who had come to trouble Tian Mo.
They were the masterminds behind the counterfeit pills that had once appeared in the Void Black Market.
Back then, they had assumed that even the true powerhouses of the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion had intervened, the masterminds behind the counterfeit pills would be powerless and forced to leave in dejection.
Yet, the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, which had been repeatedly reduced to ruins by surprise attacks, and now, the Tribulation Stage expert guarding the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion was in such a tragic state.
A thought suddenly arose in the minds of these cultivators.
Could it be...
The person selling the counterfeit pills was about to... return again?
At this moment, Tian Mo's heart was filled with shock.
Under the self-detonation of his three Natal Spirit Puppets, even he had suffered severe injuries.
If not for his solid strength and his early entry into the Tribulation Stage, he would have been a peak first-level Tribulation Stage expert.
Anyone who had just entered the Tribulation Stage would have likely perished there and then.
"This place is not safe! I must return quickly."
At this moment, Tian Mo felt a sense of urgency.
Before, his confidence in guarding the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion in this Void Black Market alone stemmed from his absolute belief in his own strength.
But this time, he was already severely injured.
Furthermore, he didn't know if the mastermind behind the counterfeit pills would send more Dao Integration Stage cultivators capable of mutual destruction.
He had survived these three self-detonations.
If there were three more, he might truly perish here.
With a thought, he forcefully suppressed his injuries and, without further delay, planned to leave this Void Black Market immediately.
......
Meanwhile, in the Earth Void Realm, within the Heavenly Dao Space.
Li Qi sat quietly.
Within his mind, the final images transmitted by his three Natal Spirit Puppets before their self-detonation were playing.
A faint smile played on Li Qi's lips.
The effect of this self-detonation combined with the Eight Chaotic Rebellions had far exceeded his imagination.
Even he had not expected the self-detonation to be so exaggerated; it wasn't just 1+1 equaling 3.
It was directly 1+1 greater than 10.
"The self-detonation of one Natal Spirit Puppet already caused that old fellow to suffer considerable injuries. With two more, that old fellow should be at least severely wounded?"
Li Qi speculated, though he didn't know the exact situation.
Because all he knew was the information from before the Natal Spirit Puppets detonated.
Immediately, Li Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"If he's truly severely wounded, then I can't let this opportunity slip away!"
If, according to his calculations, Tian Mo was indeed severely injured.
Then his combat power would have plummeted significantly.
If he could seize the opportunity while Tian Mo was heavily injured and make a move himself, perhaps...
He wouldn't need to raise his cultivation again and could directly kill him.
At this moment, Li Qi frowned.
He blamed himself for being too cautious.
If he had known that the lethality of the Eight Chaotic Rebellions combined with self-detonation was so terrifying, his main body should have personally ventured out and hidden near the Void Black Market to observe the battle.
"No, I must go to the Void Black Market quickly. It would be even better if I could capture that heavily injured old fellow."
With a thought, Li Qi decided not to waste too much time.
His figure flickered and he vanished directly from the Earth Void Realm.
With Li Qi's current strength.
Before even two days had passed, he had already arrived at the Void Black Market.
The aura of the self-detonation from a few days prior still lingered intensely.
When Li Qi saw the state of the Void Black Market, he was also startled by the scene before him.
The Void Black Market, which had been shattered into dozens of pieces, now floated silently.
Simultaneously, quite a few cultivators were using their power to move these shattered pieces of the Void Black Market together and using their cultivation to reassemble them.
However, judging by the attire of these cultivators, most of them seemed to be the powerful guards of the shops that originally operated there.
After all, it was rumored that in the very beginning, the Void Black Market was created by the combined efforts of the powerhouses behind these shops for business purposes.
Compared to the once heavily trafficked Void Black Market.
The number of people currently in the Void Black Market had decreased by at least half.
Most people were likely terrified by the previous battle and wouldn't dare to come back for a while.
Li Qi's figure flickered slightly as he entered a larger fragment of the Void Black Market.
Inside, quite a few people were still gathered together.
