After the Dao Tribulation core shattered, it turned into countless glittering dust particles that scattered everywhere. The energy in Qingli Shenhuan's Dao lineage completely vanished, gradually fading away within the Grand Array's range. While sighing at this scene, I also felt a sincere sense of regret over what Qingli Shenhuan had done.
