Watching the currently pathetic Su Tianhao, it was hard to imagine that he was actually a powerful cultivator whose realm had surpassed the Mahayana stage.
At this moment, Su Tianhao resembled more a mortal whose bones had been broken in a street fight.
His faint breath was imperceptible.
Only the madness in Su Tianhao's eyes remained.
But now, in his current state, the madness in Su Tianhao's eyes gradually turned to despair.
As fellow immortals, the gap between him and his opponent was too vast.
Su Tianhao seemed to open his mouth, but only vague, indistinct sounds emerged, likely conveying a sense of unwillingness.
At this moment, the immortal figure slowly descended from the sky, calmly arriving before Su Tianhao.
"Su Tianhao, for cultivating demonic arts, you shall be executed!"
At this, Su Tianhao's pupils widened. His eyes held defiance, and reflected in them was the immortal's hand, drawing ever closer.
Then, Su Tianhao's consciousness plunged into utter darkness.
Having only just stepped into the immortal realm for less than half an hour, Su Tianhao thus met his demise.
After killing Su Tianhao, the immortal remained motionless.
A long while passed.
Finally, the immortal made a move.
Although the immortal appeared incredibly blurry at this moment, for some reason, his eyes were remarkably clear.
But the oppressive aura contained within them was immense.
And then, those eyes, brimming with a potent pressure, suddenly looked towards Li Qi and his companions.
In an instant, everyone, including Li Qi, was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of dread.
This fear arose involuntarily. Even if Li Qi possessed the ability to reset and be resurrected by the immortal here, he still felt an inexplicable fear.
But in the next moment, just as Li Qi and his group were enveloped by terror, the immortal, who had been in the tribulation space, suddenly vanished.
Along with him, Su Tianhao's corpse on the ground had also disappeared at some point.
Though the immortal seemed to have departed, none of the powerful individuals present dared to make a move, fearing that any action might provoke the immortal, who might not have gone far, leading to their deaths.
It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that these cultivators finally dared to stir slightly.
Yet, the atmosphere among them remained deathly silent; no one spoke.
But Li Qi could perceive that, for some reason, in the divine souls and emotions of these individuals, there was a trace of sorrow and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
Still, no one spoke.
However, the cultivators present seemed to have lost their interest in staying any longer. Even Li Qi, whom they were previously very curious about, did not approach for conversation.
Finally, seeing that few cultivators remained, Li Qi also lost the desire to linger.
With a slight shift of his thoughts, his divine soul retreated from the tribulation space.
...
Returning to the Earthly Void Realm, Li Qi's expression was heavier than ever.
After what he had witnessed and heard today, he finally understood completely what had happened to the three great immortals.
The former Xu Qingfeng must have been directly erased because he was about to step into the immortal realm.
At this moment, Li Qi finally understood the cause of Xu Qingfeng's death.
Because Xu Qingfeng's strength was sufficient to reach immortality, Xu Qingfeng deserved to die.
Just like that Su Tianhao.
Thinking of this, Li Qi felt even more somber.
With his current strength, he wouldn't even need ten thousand years.
He would undoubtedly be capable of reaching the peak of Mahayana and even breaking through to immortality.
And just now, he had truly witnessed the terrifying power belonging to an immortal.
It was a truly indescribable and immense gap.
"What should I do?"
Suddenly, Li Qi's eyes flickered. He seemed to have thought of something.
That immortal could detect Su Tianhao's breakthrough.
Then, could he find a way to prevent the immortal from knowing about his own breakthrough?
Like the isolation arrays he had set up before?
To quietly break through within the array?
Thinking of this, Li Qi's eyes lit up slightly.
If it were anyone else, researching an array that could conceal the fluctuations of an immortal breakthrough might be wishful thinking.
But Li Qi himself had immersed himself in the way of arrays for countless years and possessed a hundredfold analysis of arrays.
He was currently only at the third level of Mahayana, and there was still a long time ahead. Perhaps... he could indeed try.
With this thought, Li Qi's previously somber mood slowly began to relax.
Immediately, a name surfaced in Li Qi's mind.
The Starfall Minor World.
This was a name he had heard earlier in the tribulation space.
It seemed to be the minor world where Su Tianhao, who had broken through in the tribulation space, was from.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
With a thought, Li Qi actively contacted the two natal spirit puppets he had stationed in the Qingrao Domain.
The two natal spirit puppets were somewhat surprised by Li Qi's active contact.
They immediately inquired why Li Qi was looking for them.
"Help me inquire about information regarding the Starfall Minor World."
Li Qi said, and then severed communication with the natal spirit puppets.
The efficiency of the two natal spirit puppets was indeed remarkable.
In less than half a month, they contacted Li Qi again.
They recounted a lengthy piece of information about the Starfall Minor World to Li Qi.
Li Qi calmly absorbed the information. The initial parts were fine.
However, regarding the strong individuals within the Starfall Minor World, for example, its World Lord was a cultivator at the peak of Mahayana, named Su Tianhao.
The will of the Heavenly Dao in the Starfall Minor World possessed the strength of a sixth-level Mahayana Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, the Starfall Minor World contained quite a few Mahayana cultivators.
One at the seventh level of Mahayana, three at the third level of Mahayana.
Nine at the first level of Mahayana.
There were even more cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage.
And then, as Li Qi received the next piece of information, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Just a short while ago, the Mahayana peak cultivator of the Starfall Minor World had unfortunately failed his attempt to break through to a higher realm and perished.
If Li Qi had not entered that tribulation space that day, he might have believed this explanation.
After all, lightning tribulations for such realms were not easily overcome, and it was normal to perish from a failed breakthrough.
But at the time, Li Qi had seen with his own eyes that Su Tianhao, who had successfully broken through, was brutally killed by one of the three immortals.
The subsequent information about the Starfall Minor World caused Li Qi to narrow his eyes again.
Because the previous World Lord of the Starfall Minor World had perished.
To prevent the Starfall Minor World from being without a World Lord.
The Mahayana seventh-level cultivator of the Starfall Minor World would succeed him and become the new World Lord of the Starfall Minor World.
Furthermore, a succession ceremony would be held in some time.
In fact, due to the former strength of the Starfall Minor World, said to be the most powerful below the Upper Realm.
Therefore, immortals would descend at that time.
