It was not just Du Ling and Du Ying. Cultivators throughout the Divine Path Mountain Range, for hundreds of miles around, sensed that utterly terrifying pressure...

It was a tremendous, unexpected joy.
In truth, Li Xiaoya had already reached the peak of the early Great Void stage in the Mysterious Place. After that, he had fought a great battle with the Devastation Devil Lord, faced the threat of heaven's condemnation twice, and accumulated several decades of cultivation.

He had hovered on the brink of death several times and gained considerable insight. Had the Human Realm's heaven and earth spiritual qi not been so
