Outside the Duxu Realm, everything had completely turned into nothingness.
If other places occasionally had some meteors streaking across the sky.
The void outside the Duxu Realm, even the meteors were gone.
Not even a speck of dust remained.
As for Qing Zhengyang, the lord of the Xiaoqing Realm, not even a trace of him could be found.
A powerful realm lord at the sixth level of Void Returning, just... completely evaporated?
The realm lords hidden in the shadows all revealed looks of dread, gazing at the solitary figure of Li Qi in the void.
This person, who appeared to be only at the peak of Nascent Soul, what other means did he possess?
Or, how many more trump cards had the former lord of the Duxu Realm left for this new one?
The terrifying formations that had appeared in the sky above the Duxu Realm moments ago were still vivid in their memories.
Regardless of the reason, it was highly likely that in the future, few realm lords would dare to approach the vicinity of the Duxu Realm.
One day, by accident, they might be evaporated by Li Qi controlling those formations.
It was a pity that Li Qi was unaware of their thoughts.
Otherwise, he would likely have complained bitterly.
How could the formations he had meticulously drawn and set up over so many years be mistaken for the remnants of the previous realm lord, who only knew how to harvest essence blood?
Li Qi’s gaze, serene and distant, turned towards the void further out.
Whether intentionally or not, the direction Li Qi looked was precisely where the group of peeping realm lords were located.
The group of peeping realm lords was immediately startled.
How could they dare to linger any longer? They swiftly withdrew their spiritual senses and quickly departed.
After Li Qi sensed that the peeping gazes from all directions had completely vanished.
He also ceased to linger any longer.
Before returning to the Duxu Realm, he cast a satisfied glance upwards at the dense formations above the realm.
His nearly a century of painstaking effort in setting up these formations had indeed not been in vain.
Just a slight activation today had effortlessly vaporized a sixth-level Void Returning cultivator.
However, Li Qi knew that the limit of his formations was not yet reached.
"I must not become complacent. I must continue to strive on this long journey of setting up formations."
"I shall set a small goal: to be able to easily vaporize cultivators at the tribulation, great ascension, and even Loose Immortal stages in the future."
Li Qi said to himself in his heart.
After finishing this thought, his figure once again returned to the Duxu Realm.
...
Somewhere in the void not far from the Duxu Realm.
Several realm lords with grim expressions were gathered together.
They were all individuals who had suffered losses at the hands of the previous lord of the Duxu Realm.
"Damn it, how many trump cards did that old monster, the former lord of the Duxu Realm, leave for the new one? He can't rest in peace even after death."
"Are we just going to let the losses we suffered at the hands of that old monster go unavenged?"
"Then what do you want? Qing Zhengyang, whose strength was similar to ours, was also directly killed."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the realm lords present turned somber, tinged with dread.
It was evident that the methods Li Qi had displayed earlier had also made them tremble with fear.
A cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul, in any other place, they could have easily crushed.
But unfortunately, he had the Duxu Realm behind him, and those dense formations made their scalps tingle.
Just then, one of them suddenly spoke.
"Perhaps... we can find a way to force out the new realm lord of the Duxu Realm?"
"Force him out? How?"
"..."
...
Since the day the realm lord from the Xiaoqing Realm who came to cause trouble was dealt with.
For a considerable period, not a single realm lord dared to pass by the vicinity of the Duxu Realm.
And Li Qi, after that day, did not return to continue his seclusion.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Dao Space, he used his authority as the realm lord to survey the entire Duxu Realm.
The first thing he looked at was naturally the five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Huangxuan Realm.
This glance was surprising.
After nearly a century had passed.
The strength of those five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Huangxuan Realm had all made significant breakthroughs.
Relatively speaking, with the abundant spiritual energy and resources of the Duxu Realm,
The eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator who had guided Li Qi that day had now reached the peak of Nascent Soul.
As for the other four, who were slightly weaker, the lowest had reached the eighth level of Nascent Soul.
Furthermore, during their century of life in the Duxu Realm, these five Nascent Soul cultivators had each formed relationships with influential families and established channels for resource acquisition.
Looking at these five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Huangxuan Realm, who seemed to have completely integrated into the Duxu Realm.
A slight smile appeared on Li Qi's face as he activated his authority as the realm lord.
"Come and see me."
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it accurately transmitted from the Heavenly Dao Space, reaching the ears of the five Nascent Soul cultivators.
And when the five of them heard Li Qi's voice.
In an instant, they, who were in seclusion and cultivation, all opened their eyes.
Simultaneously, a spatial rift formed beside them, an entrance to the Heavenly Dao Space.
Without any hesitation, the five Nascent Soul cultivators stepped into it.
