A tyrannical aura emanated from Li Qi.
At this moment, the aura Li Qi exuded had reached the fifth level of the Dao Integration realm.
However, compared to a normal fifth-level Dao Integration cultivator, Li Qi's aura was even more terrifying.
"Under normal circumstances, my combat power is probably not weaker than an average ninth-level Dao Integration cultivator." Kuai Shu Ge.
Li Qi felt the surging power within him. After a while, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
Originally, his natal spirit puppet, with just the Extreme Burning secret technique activated, was comparable to Li Qi in his normal state.
Now, with the addition of the Eight Rebellious Strikes, its strength had likely surpassed Li Qi's normal state.
However, Li Qi had no intention of experiencing it himself again, as he had done before.
It was unnecessary. Li Qi decided to reserve the precious first use of his natal spirit puppet for Tian Mo, the lone commander in the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion.
And just then.
Suddenly, a thought from the will of the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm transmitted towards Li Qi.
"Gulu gulu~ Hungry, hungry. Baby, hungry."
(╥﹏╥)o
Feeling the will transmitted by the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm, Li Qi raised his head in confusion.
Above the Heavenly Dao space, two large, watery, and pitiful eyes looked at Li Qi.
"Baby hungry, baby tummy hungry! Gulu gulu~"
Before Li Qi could even ask in confusion.
He saw a slightly chubby little hand formed in the sky.
Clutched in the little chubby hand were four small spatial rings.
Li Qi recognized them.
One of the four spatial rings was the buffet space ring.
The other three spatial rings were naturally the spatial rings where Li Qi had purchased the wills of the Dao Integration realm Heavenly Dao.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Li Qi couldn't help but ask.
Immediately, the information from the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm quickly replied.
"All gone, nothing left!"
๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐
"No... nothing left?"
Hearing this, Li Qi was slightly stunned.
He grabbed the four spatial rings with his palm and entered them with his divine sense. Indeed...
They were empty!
Li Qi remembered that he had made a lot of Heavenly Dao wills by selling imitation pills back then.
"This...! You eat too much! You really are a fat..."
Before he could finish the last word of "pig," he looked up and saw those two pitiful large eyes. Li Qi swallowed the last word that was about to come out.
However, he also realized.
Although he had earned a lot of Heavenly Dao wills, most of those wills were from the Void Returning realm, which offered little improvement to the current strength of the Earthly Void Realm's Heavenly Dao. Similarly, they were digested quickly.
Furthermore, some time ago, his imitation pill business was disrupted by the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, leading to an imbalance between income and expenditure, and no continuous source of income to feed this gluttonous pig at home.
Now that several decades had passed, it was normal for the Heavenly Dao wills to be depleted.
It was likely that the three portions of Dao Integration realm Heavenly Dao wills he had purchased back then had taken the Earthly Void Realm's Heavenly Dao a long time to digest.
If not for the existence of those three portions of Dao Integration realm Heavenly Dao wills, the Earthly Void Realm's Heavenly Dao would have finished devouring all Heavenly Dao wills many years earlier.
"That damn Cangyan Medicine Pavilion!"
Li Qi couldn't help but curse inwardly.
He looked up again. The Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm in the sky was still looking pitifully at Li Qi, as if hoping to extract some more Heavenly Dao wills from him.
After all, it knew that it used to act cute like this, and then its planar lord would often bring it delicious food.
Li Qi sighed.
"You can be hungry for a while longer. After I've dealt with the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, I'll get you more Heavenly Dao wills."
Hearing this, the mood of the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm became joyful again.
(*^▽^*)
Immediately, the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm happily lay back down.
Li Qi's gaze also retracted.
With a thought, three natal spirit puppets, who were in the process of setting up layered formations, arrived in the Heavenly Dao space.
As for why all three were setting up formations.
It was because one of the natal spirit puppets, who had finished cultivating the Eight Rebellious Strikes, saw that Li Qi was still in seclusion.
It then, with great professionalism, seamlessly transitioned to setting up formations.
With another thought, Li Qi.
These three natal spirit puppets, whose strength was only at the fourth level of the Dao Integration realm, disappeared once more, ending their arduous lives.
The next moment, three natal spirit puppets, just like Li Qi, with the fifth level realm, were generated again.
Looking at the three natal spirit puppets with realms matching his own, Li Qi showed a satisfied smile.
"With the strength of you three at full power, you have likely surpassed me. This time, our objective remains a lightning strike on the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion!"
"Understood!"
The three natal spirit puppets nodded and immediately left the Earthly Void Realm.
Watching the three natal spirit puppets depart, Li Qi retracted his gaze after a long time.
With his current strength, he was getting closer and closer to being able to resolve the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
Once Tian Mo was also dealt with, his imitation pill business could be reopened.
He looked up again at the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm in the sky, which was filled with anticipation.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm had completely consumed Li Qi's previous Heavenly Dao wills, and its specific strength had finally reached the ninth level of the Dao Integration realm.
But immediately.
Li Qi recalled the difficulty the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm had experienced in breaking through from the Void Returning stage to the Dao Integration stage.
Li Qi's brow furrowed slightly again.
It was interesting to nurture this gluttonous pig from the first level of Dao Integration to the ninth level, one level at a time.
However, this time, for the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm to advance from the ninth level of Dao Integration to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
It was difficult to imagine how much hardship would be involved.
After all, in the Void Black Market where he was located, the three Dao Integration realm Heavenly Dao wills from last time were only purchased at the Azure Blue Auction.
Under normal circumstances, they were simply unavailable for purchase, regardless of price.
If it were to rely solely on feeding it with Void Returning realm Heavenly Dao wills.
The cost for the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Void Realm to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage…
Li Qi couldn't help but frown deeply again.
It was fortunate that he had chosen the right direction back then, choosing to earn spirit stones and Heavenly Dao wills by selling imitation pills.
If he had truly relied on the meager spirit stones within his Earthly Void Realm, which were considered abundant compared to other small worlds, he might have emptied the entire Earthly Void Realm and still not significantly increased the strength of the Heavenly Dao.
Just as Li Qi was contemplating this issue.
The three natal spirit puppets were already getting closer and closer to the Void Black Market.
