"How is this possible, this speed!"
At this moment.
Witnessing Li Qi's terrifying speed that exceeded imagination.
Not only Qin Changwan, who had attacked, but even the other five cultivators, all at the eighth level of Tribulation, were utterly shocked!
They looked at Li Qi, whose speed was now so fast it was almost like teleportation, with disbelief.
He was clearly just a low-level Tribulation stage cultivator who had not even reached the third level of Tribulation.
Yet, the speed Li Qi had just displayed was something that even the two among them who were at the ninth level of Tribulation could hardly match.
But in reality, it was far more than that.
These individuals were all powerhouses from prosperous regions.
Their experience was far beyond that of cultivators of the same level in such small places.
At this moment.
The bodies of Qin Changwan and the others couldn't help but have their hair stand on end.
Because, in their opinion, the speed Li Qi had just displayed was something that even among peak Tribulation stage powerhouses, few could achieve.
"This guy is strange!"
At this moment, Qin Changwan and the others, who had initially paid little attention to Li Qi's low-level Tribulation stage cultivation, instantly developed a different perception of him.
And just then, a somewhat confused voice rang out from the side.
"Seniors, what's wrong?"
This was Qin Tianyi's voice.
If Qin Changwan and the other six could still vaguely sense Li Qi's terrifying speed, then Qin Tianyi, a cultivator who hadn't even reached the Tribulation stage, was completely oblivious to what had just happened.
From his perspective.
At most, a low-level Tribulation stage cultivator like Li Qi had, through some unknown means, evaded Qin Changwan's attack.
Although it was somewhat shocking, as someone from a prosperous region with many powerhouses, Qin Tianyi also knew that with some special techniques, one could indeed achieve such an escape behavior when facing a huge gap in strength.
But he had no idea that the true reason for Qin Changwan and the others' stunned and even terrified reaction was their realization of Li Qi's terrifying speed.
"It's nothing, Young Master Qin. That guy has some tricks up his sleeve, and his abilities slightly exceeded our expectations. It's not a problem."
However, Qin Tianyi was ultimately someone Qin Changwan and the others intended to invest in for the future, so they couldn't treat him with excessive coldness.
At their level, after a brief moment of shock, they quickly recovered.
Qin Changwan no longer looked at Li Qi as casually as he had before.
Although he didn't know if Li Qi had any other abilities, the speed Li Qi had just displayed was enough for him to treat Li Qi as an opponent of equal standing.
Because he also recalled what Qin Tianyi had casually mentioned to them in their leisure time before.
The force called Penguin Medicine Pavilion seemed to originate from a certain place in the prosperous regions.
Now, looking at it, Li Qi's terrifying speed alone was something that the native powerhouses of the merchant alliance, those at the seventh or eighth level of Tribulation, could not compare to.
With that in mind, Qin Changwan's address to Li Qi also changed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, no wonder you dared to meddle in our affairs. The hidden powerhouse behind Penguin Medicine Pavilion? Indeed, you have some strength, but unfortunately, only one of your Penguin Medicine Pavilion and my Qin Yang Merchant Association can establish a foothold here."
"However, I would like to see if your other abilities are as terrifying as your speed."
As he spoke, Qin Changwan unleashed his aura as a ninth-level Tribulation stage cultivator without any reservation.
In an instant, the surrounding space underwent inexplicable changes, involuntarily collapsing inch by inch.
Above the dark and void expanse, a sense of spatial pressure suddenly expanded, instantly covering a million miles.
Within the million miles, space was inverted and distorted.
And within that distortion, an incredibly terrifying palm swept out, turning everything it touched into nothingness.
Simultaneously, this palm covered Li Qi, and as it enveloped him, the distorted spatial pressure permeated Li Qi's surroundings, hindering his attempts to escape.
At this moment, Li Qi had effectively become a caged bird, unable to flee, with no choice but to face the attack head-on.
However, Li Qi, who was firmly restrained at the center of the attack and unable to escape, remained unfazed.
The terrifying speed he had previously displayed was, of course, due to a hundredfold amplification. His peak second-level Tribulation cultivation, combined with his original additional speed attribute points, and the hundredfold speed amplification, caused Li Qi's speed to reach a terrifying level in an instant.
Even Qin Changwan and the others' previous assumptions were somewhat incorrect.
Li Qi's terrifying speed was far from something that even peak Tribulation stage powerhouses could rarely match.
Li Qi's current terrifying speed was likely unmatched by anyone in the Tribulation stage.
It was more than enough to be called the number one speedster below the Mahayana stage.
Moreover, compared to other hundredfold amplifications, this speed amplification of Li Qi's had a duration of a full 600 seconds.
Therefore, what Li Qi had activated just now was only a single hundredfold speed amplification.
But facing the terrifying attack that was about to completely engulf him, Li Qi...
Under normal circumstances, Li Qi might have chosen to activate his other hundredfold amplifications and completely crush his opponents.
However, at this moment, Li Qi's expression showed a hint of contemplation.
It wasn't that he could now contend with a ninth-level Tribulation stage powerhouse without using hundredfold amplification.
If he were in his normal state now, without using other hundredfold amplifications, facing the full power of a ninth-level Tribulation stage expert, Li Qi would not be directly obliterated, but he likely wouldn't come out unscathed.
However, Li Qi did not wish to directly activate hundredfold amplification at this moment.
The reason was simple: nearly a hundred years ago, from the memories of Xu Qingfeng, a peak Mahayana expert, Li Qi had learned the divine ability of 'Nirvana Space'.
But unfortunately, for such a long time, the use of his Nirvana Space had been limited to madly absorbing spiritual energy from the Void Realm to nourish himself, or devouring various rare treasures and resources...
It seemed that up until now, he had never used Nirvana Space for combat.
After all these years, he didn't even know what level his Nirvana Space had reached.
"After all, it's a divine ability that a peak Mahayana expert valued greatly. Although I haven't cultivated it to perfection, I should have achieved something by now. Today, I can finally see the extent of my Nirvana Space's power."
With this thought, Li Qi looked up at the terrifying attack that was about to completely engulf him.
At this moment, Li Qi's expression was exceptionally calm, much like Xu Qingfeng's demeanor when he competed for the Daoist Fragment.
"Nirvana!"
A faint voice sounded from Li Qi's lips.
In an instant, an incredibly deep, serene, and utterly void space of absolute silence spontaneously materialized in front of Li Qi, forming a barrier.
