As Li Qi's gaze fell upon the three remaining cultivators at the eighth level of tribulation.
A dense aura of death suddenly surged within the hearts of the three cultivators, who were already severely wounded and on the brink of death.
Without any hesitation.
"Run!"
This thought emerged in the minds of all three.
Then, enduring the searing pain and suppressing their disordered spiritual energy, their figures attempted to retreat and flee.
As for the fate of the remaining low-level tribulation cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce and Qin Tianyi after their escape, they could no longer concern themselves.
Now, under the pressure of impending death.
They only wished to save their own lives.
But alas.
Even this sole hope of survival was unattainable.
For compared to Li Qi, their speed was too slow.
Even before these three dying cultivators at the eighth level of tribulation could make any move.
Li Qi's figure had already appeared before one of them.
The dying cultivator at the eighth level of tribulation before Li Qi's eyes had only just begun to show terror in his gaze.
The next moment.
A sky full of blood splattered.
"Bang!"
The body of the cultivator at the eighth level of tribulation instantly exploded, his life extinguished.
Even in death, he had no time to resist.
Thus.
Only two remained alive.
Witnessing Li Qi's decisive and ruthless methods, the terror in the eyes of these two intensified.
With the demise of the first unfortunate soul.
It also bought a little time for the two still alive.
In an instant, the figures of these two had already moved at least half a small world away from their original positions.
"You cannot escape."
A calm voice echoed.
Li Qi's speed was so astonishing that even the divine soul could hardly perceive it.
But only.
The sudden emergence of two explosive sounds, followed by two plumes of bloody mist, indicated Li Qi's actions.
Thus.
Two cultivators at the ninth level of tribulation, and four cultivators at the eighth level of tribulation, all perished by Li Qi's hand.
Even at this moment, Li Qi's hundredfold amplification still had over ten seconds remaining.
The scene fell into a moment of complete silence.
Those low-level tribulation cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, as well as Qin Tianyi, were utterly subdued, without a sound.
However, unconsciously, an ineffable atmosphere began to permeate the group from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
Fear, despair, disbelief...
These were emotions intertwined with countless negative feelings.
The next moment.
Qin Tianyi and the remaining low-level tribulation cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce trembled violently in their hearts.
A pressure of death surged from their hearts.
Because at this moment, Li Qi's gaze had, at some unknown time, shifted towards them.
"Cutting the grass and uprooting it" was a principle Li Qi had understood since first stepping into the cultivation world.
And the low-level tribulation cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce reacted quickly.
"Run!"
The spiritual energy within each tribulation cultivator erupted to its maximum.
These tribulation cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce and Qin Tianyi prepared to flee directly.
But in front of Li Qi, if he intended to kill these low-level tribulation cultivators.
How could he possibly let these fellows escape?
With a thought.
The Space of Annihilation once again materialized before Li Qi.
The Space of Annihilation was a thousand meters wide and tall.
Within the Space of Annihilation, an aura of void, profoundness, and depth emerged.
Amidst it was a void.
And the next moment.
An immensely terrifying suction force appeared from the Space of Annihilation.
Following this, the group of fleeing cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce was utterly terrified.
Because they discovered their furiously fleeing figures had stopped.
Behind them, a terrifying suction was pulling them towards the interior of the Space of Annihilation.
Although they did not know what they would encounter upon entering the Space of Annihilation.
Their cultivator's spiritual sense told them that this was definitely a perilous matter.
"No, don't!"
The low-level tribulation cultivators from the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce went mad.
In despair, their spiritual power surged wildly, and various incantations were cast.
Attacks that would normally be incredibly terrifying were hurled towards the Space of Annihilation.
But regarding this.
The Space of Annihilation, which could even swallow a considerable portion of the attacks from cultivators at the ninth level of tribulation, could not stir much more than a ripple against the attacks of these cultivators who were at most at the sixth level of tribulation.
These attacks were directly swallowed into the interior of the Space of Annihilation and, in an instant, were refined into the purest energy to be fed back to Li Qi.
Ultimately, under the terrifying suction of the Space of Annihilation, these tribulation cultivators grew closer and closer to it.
Expressions of despair, unwillingness, and terror flickered.
Finally, these cultivators were completely sucked into the interior of the Space of Annihilation.
A terrifying destructive force emerged from within the Space of Annihilation.
Starting from the most basic flesh and blood, these cultivators who had entered the Space of Annihilation were continuously ground down.
In a short period, the flesh and blood of these tribulation cultivators, who were considered incredibly powerful in the outside world, were quickly ground away, revealing the white bones beneath.
Following this, even the bones could not withstand the destructive force within the Space of Annihilation and were rapidly dissolved.
By this point, the bodies of these cultivators had completely dissipated, and everything contained within their flesh and blood, such as spiritual energy and vital energy, had transformed into pure energy for Li Qi's use.
Souls without bodies, filled with utter terror, dispersed within the Space of Annihilation.
But immediately, the destructive force within the Space of Annihilation surged again and was applied.
These souls were also completely ground down.
Following this, a series of wooden specters emerged from within the Space of Annihilation, wandering aimlessly.
Seeing this scene, Li Qi's eyes twitched.
The Space of Annihilation was indeed brutal. This was the first time he had used the Space of Annihilation against cultivators.
The result was that everything about those cultivators was completely annihilated and turned into the purest energy for their use.
Even their souls were transformed into specters by the divine souls of annihilation.
If Li Qi wished, he could even summon these specters from the Space of Annihilation to fight.
At the same time, because Li Qi had completely annihilated everything about these tribulation cultivators, the feedback energy continued to elevate Li Qi's current realm.
Unlike the pure energy obtained from simply absorbing spiritual energy, the energy ground out from these tribulation cultivators.
It also contained obscure Dao rhymes, which seemed to be the insights and understanding these cultivators had gained in their cultivation during their lives.
For low-level cultivators, these insights and understandings would naturally be of no use to Li Qi.
But the tribulation cultivators Li Qi had dealt with previously, although referred to as low-level tribulation cultivators.
In terms of pure realm, their cultivation level was even higher than Li Qi's.
Under such circumstances, the Dao rhymes ground out from these cultivators within the Space of Annihilation were of considerable help to Li Qi.
It was precisely because of this.
At a certain moment.
Unconsciously.
A faint cracking sound echoed in Li Qi's ears, as if some barrier had been broken.
Simultaneously.
Li Qi's realm, which was at the peak of the second level of tribulation, suddenly surged.
Li Qi, in one fell swoop, broke through to the third level of tribulation.
