A thousand years.
Li Qi remained still.
Two thousand years, Li Qi still remained motionless.
The years outside passed by rapidly, yet Li Qi appeared unchanged under their baptism.
Three thousand years...
Five thousand years...
Five thousand years of time was already the lifespan of an ordinary Void Returning stage cultivator, but it slipped by in a blur during Li Qi's seclusion.
Time flowed, and the exact amount had long been impossible to count.
But at a certain moment.
A ripple finally appeared on Li Qi, who had been meditating motionlessly for countless years.
Following that.
Li Qi's aura, which was at the peak of Mahayana stage, surged forth explosively, and at this moment, it continued to skyrocket.
Simultaneously, Li Qi, who had emerged from his cultivation, directly activated the isolation formation that enveloped the Earth Void Realm.
Under this terrifying isolation formation, the Earth Void Realm seemed to be directly erased from existence, leaving no trace.
Li Qi's eyes slightly lifted, staring silently beyond the Earth Void Realm.
The sky above showed no movement, as if the fluctuations of the tribulation were completely shielded, just like during previous breakthroughs.
But in the next moment, Li Qi's expression suddenly changed.
"Why..."
"Rumble!"
An incredibly terrifying torrent of lightning erupted.
At this moment.
No tribulation space appeared.
Because this lightning tribulation, at this moment, had directly materialized outside the Earth Void Realm.
And precisely because of this, the formation that enveloped the Earth Void Realm...
At this moment, this incredibly terrifying lightning tribulation's fluctuations instantly swept across countless worlds.
From the initial Small Expansion Zone, it spread to the Silver Vertical Domain, and then to dozens of surrounding Void Black Markets.
But it wasn't over yet.
In the prosperous lands, countless cultivators at the Mahayana stage and above also raised their eyes.
Their gazes were filled with unparalleled shock as they looked in the direction of the Earth Void Realm.
"What's going on, that commotion? Is it a lightning tribulation? But why is there such an unprecedentedly terrifying lightning tribulation?"
The lightning tribulation for breaking through to immortality from the peak Mahayana stage was something few people in the entire prosperous land had witnessed.
Those who had seen it were at least at the seventh heaven of the Mahayana stage.
But now, those cultivators at the seventh heaven of the Mahayana stage were even more aghast.
The last person to break through to immortality was Su Tianhao, but Su Tianhao was killed by an immortal immediately upon his breakthrough.
And this time, who dared to risk being killed by an immortal to break through to immortality?
Moreover, looking at the incredibly terrifying lightning tribulation, those cultivators who had witnessed the immortal's lightning tribulation before, suddenly discovered that this tribulation... seemed to be countless times more terrifying than the tribulation Su Tianhao had endured.
Following that, from the prosperous lands, figures directly shot towards the direction of the Earth Void Realm.
Li Qi's expression turned incredibly grim at this moment.
He stared intently at the terrifying lightning tribulation in the sky.
He had clearly shielded the tribulation space, and Li Qi thought everything was safe, only for this lightning tribulation to directly appear in reality?
Looking in all directions of the Earth Void Realm, Li Qi could sense the arrival of an endless stream of powerful cultivators.
In a short while, many powerful cultivators had arrived around the Earth Void Realm.
Among them were not a few cultivators at the seventh heaven of the Mahayana stage and above.
And when these cultivators at the seventh heaven of the Mahayana stage and above saw Li Qi, and felt the familiar soul aura emanating from him.
These cultivators at the seventh heaven of the Mahayana stage and above were all utterly shocked.
"He, he, he... isn't he that junior fellow daoist from back then? How is he breaking through to immortality!"
Ever since Li Qi broke through to the sixth heaven of the Mahayana stage, he had already shielded the tribulation space.
So in the eyes of other powerful cultivators, Li Qi had been silent since breaking through to the fifth heaven of the Mahayana stage.
Later, when many powerful cultivators met, they had discussed Li Qi, believing that Li Qi had exhausted his talent or encountered some accident.
But now, you're telling me Li Qi is at the peak of Mahayana and is about to break through to immortality?
Damn, this is a monster.
It has only been over ten thousand years since they first saw Li Qi break through.
And at this moment.
Three incredibly terrifying auras, filled with coldness and majesty, abruptly stopped.
Under this terrifying aura, everyone present fell completely silent.
Even the thunderclouds above Li Qi dimmed slightly.
Three Immortals, personally arrived.
"So, you're here. We've been searching for you."
At this moment, when they saw the unfamiliar Li Qi.
The voices of the three Immortals became even colder, and under the gaze of countless cultivators, they didn't even bother to conceal it.
In response, Li Qi's expression was grim, and he had already prepared himself for a desperate fight.
Furthermore, he had set his reset coordinates long ago.
Even if he were to be crushed to death by the three Immortals this time, he would still have a chance to try again in the future.
But in the next moment, Li Qi slightly narrowed his eyes, because he found that these three Immortals did not seem to intend to attack him directly, but were just staring at him quietly.
Suddenly, the three Immortals seemed to have noticed something.
They looked towards the nearby Earth Void Realm.
Following that, the cold glint in the eyes of the three Immortals intensified.
"Hmph, no wonder, no wonder, so this small Mahayana world is also here. No wonder we couldn't find a peak Mahayana cultivator or a Mahayana Heavenly Dao."
However, the three Immortals did not directly destroy the Earth Void Realm.
Because the Earth Void Realm had not yet reached the level that required the Cangyun Heavenly Dao to destroy it.
They had come specifically to wait for Li Qi to successfully break through and then kill him.
To find Li Qi, these three Immortals had racked their brains for such a long time.
Even to find Li Qi.
They had directly used the authority of the Plane Lord to cancel the tribulation space and adjust the immortal-level lightning tribulation to its most extreme.
They were waiting for Li Qi to break through at any moment and cause a commotion.
And after waiting for so long, they had finally caught a trace of Li Qi.
On Li Qi's side, he looked at the three Immortals who were not attacking him, and then looked at the lightning tribulation in the sky.
Although he didn't know what these three Immortals were up to.
Since they were allowing him to break through.
He would seize this opportunity.
"Rumble."
The world-ending lightning tribulation in the sky struck down with a roar.
Even a mere wisp of dispersed lightning could easily obliterate some low-level Mahayana cultivators.
As for Li Qi, although the lightning tribulation in the sky was terrifying.
However, Li Qi's strength was now vastly different from before.
Even though this was an immortal-level lightning tribulation, it posed little threat to Li Qi.
Compared to this lightning tribulation, the pressure brought by the three Immortals staring at him from not far away was clearly greater.
Li Qi, while warily guarding against the three Immortals, was slowly enduring the tribulation.
During this process, Li Qi could feel that for every additional lightning tribulation he endured, the killing intent in the eyes of the three Immortals would intensify.
At this moment, Li Qi understood that if nothing unexpected happened.
His fate would likely be the same as Su Tianhao's; after he broke through, those three Immortals would make their move.
However, the only difference was that Su Tianhao had only faced one Immortal.
While he would likely face three.
But if it were in the past, Li Qi might have been a little apprehensive.
But now, with his enhanced talent, he believed he could even contend with three Immortals.
And at this moment.
"Boom!"
The last lightning tribulation descended.
The thunderclouds disappeared.
On Li Qi's body, the aura of an Immortal surged forth.
Simultaneously, the killing intent of the three Immortals also appeared.
