The low-level cultivators watched Li Qi, who had broken through to become an immortal, with immense excitement.
Those above the seventh heaven of Mahayana, however, fell into a collective silence.
They knew that Li Qi's death was likely imminent.
"What a pity, why must we bear such a restraint from above?"
Someone despaired, a Mahayana eighth-heaven cultivator of exceptional talent who, if he had the chance, would have a hope of ascending to immortality in this lifetime.
But alas, under the pressure of the three immortals.
He dared not, for to break through meant certain death.
As expected, at this moment.
The three immortals ceased their pretense.
The cold voice of one of the immortals resounded.
"Kid... since your realm is broken, prepare to die."
As he spoke, an aura far surpassing the Mahayana realm erupted from the immortal.
Under this terrifying aura, the immortal's form seemed to blur.
But a sense of dreadful oppression instantly swept over an immense area.
Within its reach, even peak Mahayana cultivators felt only despair.
A group of people, unaware of the truth, looked on with confusion.
"Immortal, what are you doing..."
Immediately after, they seemed to witness something, and their surprise intensified.
"No, this immortal is going to attack that newly ascended fellow cultivator? Why!"
But no one answered.
Terrifying fluctuations roared through the void.
The expressions of countless cultivators changed drastically.
Some who reacted quickly retreated, while those slower were directly engulfed by the terrifying fluctuations and vanished.
Immortals were ruthless, disregarding collateral damage.
At this moment, Li Qi was completely covered by the immortal's attack.
It was a single strike from an immortal, a powerful immortal who had likely been in the immortal realm for countless years.
This strike was no less powerful than the one that had crushed Su Tianhao back then.
In the next moment, the attacking immortal seemed to discover something, his gaze narrowing slightly.
As the residual waves of his attack dissipated.
He looked intently.
Li Qi's figure had vanished.
Suddenly, as if sensing something.
The immortal's form flickered.
The aura of Li Qi, who had just broken through to immortality, was just a short distance away.
Seeing Li Qi approaching him directly, the immortal sneered.
"Seeking death."
Then, he unleashed a palm strike.
But in the next moment, the immortal's expression drastically changed.
For he found that Li Qi's figure, without evasion, was directly charging towards him.
Immediately after, Li Qi's figure closed in. The aura of immortality emanating from Li Qi erupted, like a volcanic explosion.
"What the hell? Self-destruction!"
But there was no time for him to think.
A brilliant light, nearly illuminating the entire void, erupted—a light a million, even a hundred million, times brighter than the explosion of a dying star.
This was the immortal's self-destruction.
The other two immortals who had been watching silently were now utterly stunned.
What was this newly ascended fellow doing?
Didn't ascending to immortality mean striving for higher realms? Why would he self-destruct like this? Wasn't it better to remain in the Mahayana realm?
"Cough cough cough. Damnable."
At this moment, at the center of the self-destruction, the immortal who had attacked was coughing rather disheveled, his initial imposing and terrifying aura gone.
Li Qi's sudden self-destruction had caught him completely off guard.
Fortunately, having been in the immortal realm for hundreds of thousands of years, he was no match for a newly ascended immortal like Li Qi.
"Hmph, self-destruct if you will, at least it was a quick death."
The disheveled immortal snorted. The three of them had come out together specifically to eliminate this newly ascended immortal.
Since Li Qi was dead, there was no need to linger.
But just as the thought of returning arose.
Suddenly, the disheveled immortal seemed to sense something.
At this moment, even his expression changed slightly.
Around him, five identical auras, belonging to newly ascended immortals, were approaching him.
And with this immortal's power, he could clearly sense that these five auras were not illusions; they were genuine.
"What the hell."
This time, even the immortal was stunned. This was something he had never witnessed before.
Similarly, with the appearance of these five immortal realms, the expressions of the other two immortals, who had not reacted earlier, also changed slightly.
And at this moment, the five immortal auras suddenly converged to attack the immortal who had initiated the strike.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations nearly illuminated the entire void.
Having already been caught off guard by the self-destruction of one immortal.
Now, they were being surrounded and attacked by five immortals.
At this moment, even one of the three attacking immortals could not react in time.
Fortunately, seeing that the situation was turning unfavorable.
The other two immortals naturally did not continue to stand idly by.
Although they did not know where these immortals came from.
It did not prevent them from wanting to kill all of them.
"Brother Qin, we are here to help you."
In the next moment, the terrifying auras of the other two immortals erupted.
With the arrival of these two veteran immortals,
The five immortal auras, which had seemed to hold an advantage moments before, were now at a significant disadvantage.
These five immortal auras were, in fact, Li Qi's summoned natal spiritual puppets.
The figure that had self-destructed earlier was, of course, not Li Qi himself.
At this moment, Li Qi's figure was concealed at the periphery.
Under normal circumstances, with three immortals present, even Li Qi would not be able to completely conceal himself.
However, it was fortunate that the three immortals' attention was entirely focused on his five natal spiritual puppets.
And in a mere moment.
The three immortals had already gained a significant advantage over the five natal spiritual puppets.
All five natal spiritual puppets had reached a state of imminent death.
