Everyone stared at the dark, eerie crater, shock and gravity written across their faces.
Was it over?
Was Qin Jishi still alive?
Almost in an instant, no fewer than ten thousand divine senses spread out, probing toward the dark crater.
However!!
The result disappointed many.
They could not detect the slightest trace of life, which meant that Qin Jishi was already dead.
"Qin Jishi ultimately failed to withstand the final Lightning Tribulation and was reduced to ashes."
"Honestly, being able to achieve this much, even in death, he could take pride in it."
"The Heavenly Dao sent down nine divine thunders, something unseen since time immemorial. What a pity that heaven envies genius."
"..."
Many were filled with disappointment.
They could not be blamed for feeling this way. Someone who could evoke fear from the Heavenly Dao—deep in their hearts, they had hoped even more that Qin Jishi would create a miracle.
Even though they clearly knew the outcome, hope still lingered in their hearts.
Unfortunately!!
This result was one they could not accept.
Phew!!
Compared to the vast majority, a small number of people heaved a long sigh of relief inwardly.
They were glad!!
Glad that Qin Jishi was dead!
Otherwise!
After having offended him so deeply before, if he one day truly stood at the pinnacle of this world, their fates would naturally be easy to imagine.
"Ji... Jishi's aura?"
Lord of the Black Fiend Realm frowned tightly. "Senior Dugu, why can't I sense Jishi's aura?"
"Could it be!"
Clearly, Lord of the Black Fiend Realm was unwilling to believe what he had detected.
There was not a trace of aura. Could he truly have been reduced to ashes?
Dugu Qiubai's expression was grave to the extreme, and he said nothing.
To be honest!!
He was not sure
