"The Heavenly Dao, our Heavenly Dao is gone!"
"The will of the Heavenly Dao has been stolen!"
Simultaneously, countless powerful beings within the Dao Qian Minor World watched with even greater horror in their eyes.
They too had felt the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao's will the moment it happened.
Their gazes, filled with mounting terror, turned towards Li Qi, who stood serenely outside the Dao Qian Minor World.
First, he had slain the Lord of the Dao Qian Minor World, a cultivator at the Mahayana stage. Then, he had stolen the will of their Minor World's Heavenly Dao.
What had taken countless years to build, one of the tallest structures within the Qing Rao Domain, had crumbled in an instant.
Yet, alas, faced with this reality, these cultivators were powerless.
They knew that even if they truly wished to act, under Li Qi's absolute power, only death awaited them, and not even their remains would be left behind.
Meanwhile, on Li Qi's side.
Holding the will of the Dao Qian Minor World's Heavenly Dao, a peak Tribulation Crossing stage entity, in his hand, Li Qi took a brief moment to examine it, sensing the dense pressure of the Heavenly Dao.
"If the Heavenly Dao of Dixu is allowed to absorb this level of Heavenly Dao will, it should grow significantly," Li Qi mused. With this thought, he no longer intended to linger.
He cast one last glance at the terrified powerhouses within the Dao Qian Minor World.
With a flash, Li Qi vanished from outside the Dao Qian Minor World, leaving behind only the bewildered and stunned cultivators of the Dao Qian Minor World, standing lost in their original spots.
Not long after Li Qi's departure, dense spatial fluctuations emanated from outside the Dao Qian Minor World.
Immediately following, two terrifying auras surged forth, drawing closer and closer to the Dao Qian Minor World.
If Li Qi were present, he would have immediately sensed that the wielders of these two terrifying auras possessed Mahayana stage cultivation.
Furthermore, their strength was slightly superior to Li Qiansheng's.
One was at the peak of the first Heaven of the Mahayana stage, and the other was at the second Heaven.
"The fluctuations from the Dao Qian Minor World just now were quite intense. Who was fighting Li Qiansheng?" the Mahayana second Heaven cultivator asked with a grave expression.
Battles between Mahayana stage cultivators were incredibly terrifying. Even though Li Qi and Li Qiansheng had fought for only a brief moment before a victor was decided, the immense fluctuations had still been perceived.
The other cultivator, at the peak of the first Heaven of the Mahayana stage, shook his head.
"I don't know. In this Qing Rao Domain, besides the two of us Mahayana cultivators, there is only Li Qiansheng and 'that person.' And as for 'that person,' Li Qiansheng wouldn't dare to provoke them."
The "that person" the first Heaven Mahayana cultivator referred to was, naturally, the strongest being in the Qing Rao Domain, a cultivator at the fourth Heaven of the Mahayana stage.
Li Qiansheng, being merely at the first Heaven of the Mahayana stage, might be capable of dealing with others, but against the strongest cultivator of the Qing Rao Domain, who was three minor realms above him, he would never dare to act.
"Could it be a powerful being from outside the Qing Rao Domain? Although the distance is considerable, I haven't encountered the aura of the one who just fought Li Qiansheng before."
If it were indeed an external Mahayana stage cultivator, then they had even more reason to investigate.
After all, cultivators of this caliber arriving in their Qing Rao Domain usually did not bode well, and they needed to be vigilant.
It would be troublesome if any incidents were to occur within their territory.
As the two conversed, the Dao Qian Minor World gradually appeared before them.
But in the next moment, as their gazes fell upon the Dao Qian Minor World, they were utterly stunned.
The peak Tribulation Crossing stage Heavenly Dao pressure that should have existed within the Dao Qian Minor World had completely vanished.
Li Qiansheng's figure had long since disappeared without a trace.
They could also see the evident dazed expressions on the faces of many cultivators from the Dao Qian Minor World outside.
A sense of ominous foreboding washed over the two of them.
They exchanged a look, and with a flicker, they appeared before a half-step Mahayana cultivator.
The pressure emanating from the two Mahayana cultivators jolted the somewhat dazed half-step Mahayana cultivator back to his senses.
"What is going on?" the Mahayana second Heaven cultivator asked sternly.
The half-step Mahayana cultivator recognized who was before him and immediately bowed and knelt.
"My lord! Please save our Dao Qian Minor World!"
Recalling what had just transpired, a look of horror once again flickered in the eyes of the half-step Mahayana cultivator.
He rapidly recounted the attack on the Dao Qian Minor World.
Then, Li Qiansheng had emerged to fight, even utilizing the amplification of the Plane Lord.
Finally, when the half-step Mahayana cultivator explained that Li Qiansheng had used nearly all his trump cards yet was still utterly crushed by the suddenly appearing Li Qi, the eyes of the two Mahayana cultivators were filled with utter dread.
"My lords, please save our Dao Qian Minor World. If our Dao Qian Minor World's Heavenly Dao will is also gone, then the Dao Qian Minor World will truly be finished."
Subsequently, not only the half-step Mahayana cultivator but countless powerful beings within the Dao Qian Minor World also knelt before the two Mahayana cultivators.
Although with their strength, they could live comfortably even without a Minor World, who would willingly wander perpetually if they could have one?
After all, becoming the Plane Lord of a peak Tribulation Crossing stage Minor World would bring them immeasurable benefits.
However, the two Mahayana cultivators remained silent.
Especially when they heard that Li Qiansheng, despite using all his trump cards, was easily crushed, they finally understood why the previous battle had lasted such a short time.
It wasn't that both sides had ceased fighting; it was that Li Qiansheng had been killed in such a short period.
The ability to achieve such a feat, within the entire Qing Rao Domain, was likely only possessed by their strongest entity.
Then, the two Mahayana cultivators exchanged another look, gazing at the kneeling Dao Qian Minor World cultivators before them. After a long pause, their eyes narrowed slightly and then relaxed. Finally, they sighed.
One of them spoke.
"The Dao Qian Minor World is, after all, one of the top Minor Worlds in our Qing Rao Domain. It is not easy for such a Minor World's Heavenly Dao will to be born. That fellow daoist should not have gone too far. Fellow Daoist Qin An, let us both go and see. If possible, we can try to negotiate with that daoist and see if we can get the Dao Qian Minor World's Heavenly Dao will back."
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators of the Dao Qian Minor World present showed expressions of pleasant surprise.
