The spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius was drawn in by the Spirit Gathering Array, converging into a river, almost submerging Lang Ya.
Lang Ya’s spirit was lifted, and he began to absorb the spiritual energy frantically, gulping it down like a starving animal.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
Lang Ya used this vast surge of spiritual energy to once again impact the barrier.
"Crack..."
The sound of eggshells cracking echoed.
But it wasn’t Lang Ya, it was Yun Mengyao.
A circle of strong multicolored light radiated from Yun Mengyao’s body.
The woman had made a breakthrough.
Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly upward; now only Lang Ya was left.
Lang Ya found breakthroughs somewhat difficult; the higher the cultivation, the harder the breakthrough.
Inside Lang Ya, it was like a drum beating, constantly emitting booming sounds.
Qin Yi controlled the great array, absorbing spiritual energy to supply Lang Ya’s consumption.
Suddenly, Qin Yi’s brow twitched—someone was coming.
Over a dozen figures approached in unison; their cultivation was not high, not yet reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
It seemed they were attracted by the spiritual energy.
"Scram!"
Qin Yi opened his mouth, roaring in anger, genuinely twisting the void within thousands of meters around.
The divine souls of the dozen Qi Refiners nearly scattered from the shock, teetering on the brink of collapsing from mid-air, each face filled with horror, not daring to advance.
"We were unaware that a senior was cultivating here and have caused a disturbance. We humbly ask for forgiveness; we are leaving now."
The dozen people fled in panic.
A single angry roar nearly shattered their divine souls; such a formidable figure was not someone they could provoke. No one is foolish enough to persist in folly, so they left swiftly without any nonsense.
Yet, Qin Yi underestimated the sensation caused by his absorption of spiritual energy within the ten-mile radius.
People kept coming to investigate.
One wave was scared away by Qin Yi, only for another wave to arrive.
This made Qin Yi immensely annoyed.
However, Lang Ya was at a critical stage of breakthrough and could not be disturbed.
Qin Yi frowned, stood up, and looked at the distant silhouettes watching from afar, opening his mouth to roar.
"Everyone, get lost! Come any closer, and you will be killed without mercy."
The voice exploded like thunder, sweeping across several miles.
The crowd was frightened but did not retreat; unable to see the situation clearly on this side, they assumed there must be treasures emerging.
Moreover, they did not recognize Qin Yi.
The character of Qi Refiners is mostly eccentric; cultivation itself is an act against heaven, and every Qi Refiner has their pride. If they do not genuinely sense danger, they will not easily leave.
Yet, Qin Yi’s roar also intimidated them.
So, they neither left nor dared to approach easily.
However, Qin Yi knew this situation could not last long, with more and more Qi Refiners being attracted, numbers emboldened, there would definitely be those who dared to venture closer.
Thinking this, Qin Yi noticed someone already beginning to approach.
People are just like that—once someone takes action, the rest will follow suit.
Qin Yi roughly estimated that there were already over a hundred Qi Refiners attracted, and the number was still increasing.
Although these Qi Refiners did not include any very powerful figures, so many people would still be troublesome if chaos erupted.
Thus, intimidation was the most effective method.
"You’re courting death."
Qin Yi’s eyes turned cold, "Last warning, take one more step closer, and there will be no mercy."
"And who might you be to act so domineering?"
A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious brocade robes spoke.
This person’s cultivation was decent, at the Unification Late Stage, but just decent.
Now, for Qin Yi, anyone under the Tribulation Crossing are mere ants.
"Who I am is not something you’re worthy of knowing; you only need to remember my words."
Qin Yi spoke lightly.
"This is Fengbo City, not even the City Lord is as domineering as you."
The other said provocatively, taking a step forward.
Qin Yi’s eyes turned icy, but his lips curved slightly upward; in that case, use you as the chicken to warn the monkeys.
He formed a sealing with one hand.
God Slaying Blade.
The purple light surged, transforming into a sky-reaching giant blade.
With two fingers as a blade, he slashed down through the air.
"Puff!"
The Qi Refiner who provoked Qin Yi was scared out of his wits; amidst his terrified screams, with a puff, blood rained from the sky, and he was directly split in half.
The surrounding Qi Refiners were so frightened that they quickly retreated.
Even a Unification Realm Late Stage was split in half with a single blade, dying a gruesome death—they naturally had to consider their own actions.
Qin Yi snorted coldly, speaking indifferently, "If you’re not afraid of death, feel free to come forward."
Around him, a dead silence prevailed.
"What a mighty display of power."
Suddenly, an angry shout echoed from afar.
The distant Qi Refiners quickly retreated.
Because the ones approaching, from their attire, were known to be Netherworld Envoys.
In the region of the Nether Sea, each Netherworld Envoy represents the Netherworld King, and no one dares to block the path of the Netherworld Clan.
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, the opponent’s voice was deep and their cultivation was not weak.
The sound of breaking through the air rang out; Qin Yi focused his gaze, seeing over a dozen people approaching together.
Ten Netherworld Envoys and seven Transcendance Tribulation Stage experts clad in sky-blue robes.
No matter the world, positioning is essential; those with higher status naturally stand in front, and others dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
The leader in black, shrouded in a black robe, just standing there seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Qin Yi’s eyes flickered; this was a strong opponent, their cultivation not inferior to Jing Wangyou or Old Sloppy, likely an expert with an Absolute Domain.
To own an Absolute Domain indicates that one has passed through nine Heavenly Tribulations, being a peak expert of the Tribulation Crossing.
Such figures, Qin Yi had only encountered three in total, underscoring their rarity.
Indeed worthy of the Netherworld Clan, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert in some small places would be enough to establish a sect.
But for the Netherworld Clan, Tribulation Crossing experts seemed plentiful, almost all Netherworld people he encountered were at the Tribulation Crossing.
What Qin Yi didn’t know was that the primary requirement to become a Netherworld Envoy is reaching the Tribulation Crossing, so all the Netherworld Envoys he met were Tribulation Crossing experts.
However, there was one person standing shoulder to shoulder with the leading Netherworld Envoy.
This person, dressed in sky-blue brocade robes, over a hundred years old with graying hair, but wearing a jade crown, girded with a jade belt, stood erect, with an aura of authority over him.
However, his cultivation was inferior to the leading black-robed figure.
Qin Yi guessed this person to be the City Lord of Fengbo City.
Only a City Lord has the stature to stand alongside a Netherworld Envoy.
A hundred meters from Qin Yi, the group halted.
The old man in sky-blue brocade robes looked at Qin Yi, speaking arrogantly, "You must be Qin Yi?"
Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly upward; he had caused quite a stir in Wufeng City, killing so many Netherworld Envoys and stood against a wisp of the God Slaying Netherworld King’s divine soul. The God Slaying Netherworld King already issued a hunt for him, so their recognition was unsurprising.
"I am Dugu Ao, City Lord of Fengbo City. Will you surrender, or shall I personally make a move?"
Dugu Ao truly was arrogant, looking at Qin Yi down his nose, with an expression of utter disdain.
