360: Place of Enlightenment

The attacker, a burly man, was merely in the Enlightenment Realm, insignificant to the Phoenix Lord. Li Qi, who was about to strike him down, found the Phoenix Lord to be even faster.

The Phoenix Lord's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her gaze ignited the burly man's body. In a blink of an eye, golden flames consumed his body entirely, turning him into dust that dissipated into the air.

[Potential Points +2 million]

Seeing his Potential Points increase by a small margin, Li Qi also stopped.

After dealing with the presumptuous fellow, the two did not linger and continued on their journey.

However, the chaos they witnessed along the way was far from over. Numerous powerful experts attempting to attack the Demon Sealing Net of the Demon World were a common sight, found everywhere, every three to five hundred miles.

Watching the many powerful experts trying to escape this Realm, the Phoenix Lord slowly said, "Li Qi, I have also tried to break through this sky-covering Demon Net. I can tear open a corner of it."

"If in the end, it truly proves impossible... you can leave with me."

The Phoenix Lord had completed eight Nirvanas many years ago, and her strength was incredibly formidable, reaching a level comparable to the Reincarnation Realm, enough to break through this Demon Net.

What the Phoenix Lord didn't know was that although Li Qi hadn't completed his eighth Nirvana, his martial Dao cultivation had also reached the Samsara Realm, giving him the ability to break through the Demon Net and escape at any time.

But what was rare was... the Phoenix Lord was willing to bring Li Qi along without knowing this.

This showed that she truly regarded Li Qi as one of her own.

This friendship alone... was enough for Li Qi to cherish.

"I will certainly remember the Phoenix Lord's kindness."

"But there's no need, I can also break through the Demon Net and escape to the heavens at any time..."

Saying this, Li Qi no longer concealed his strength, revealing a trace of the aura of a Samsara Realm expert.

The Phoenix Lord beside him was suddenly startled, looking at Li Qi in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

"Samsara Realm?!"

"You have already achieved the position of a Great Emperor?"

The Phoenix Lord exclaimed, staring directly at Li Qi.

Li Qi's completion of seven Nirvanas before had already surprised her enough, but now Li Qi's martial Dao cultivation had progressed at a divine speed, silently entering the Reincarnation Realm. How could the Phoenix Lord not be shocked?

Even looking across the entire Immortal Martial World, the number of people at this Realm would not even reach five fingers, and Li Qi and the Phoenix Lord were very likely the only two Samsara Realm existences in this Realm.

"Truly remarkable... I never expected you to have such an experience."

The Phoenix Lord had personally witnessed Li Qi's rise, still remembering when Li Qi was just an ordinary World King Realm expert. In a short time, he had already broken through to the Reincarnation Realm, becoming one of the few at the absolute pinnacle of a Realm.

He had become an existence on the same level as the Phoenix Lord!

"It seems I worried too much... your safety doesn't need me to be concerned about." The Phoenix Lord chuckled self-deprecatingly.

The two flew north towards the Immortal Martial World, and the places they passed became increasingly barren, desolate, and sparsely populated.

Eventually, all they could see was a vast expanse of wind and snow, and endless snowfields.

From this point on... there were no more traces of human activity.

"We're almost there," the Phoenix Lord called out.

Both were peak experts at the Samsara Realm level; a journey of hundreds of millions of miles passed in an instant. In less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at their destination.

"This is it."

The Phoenix Lord led Li Qi down from the sky to an ice cliff, looking at the sea ahead, which was covered in broken ice, and slowly spoke.

Li Qi also landed, standing on the ice cliff. He looked around and indeed sensed something unusual.

There was something wrong with the space here!

This was the edge of the Immortal Martial World, the furthest corner of the continent. Ahead lay a sea filled with floating ice, appearing unremarkable and without anything special.

The Phoenix Lord looked at Li Qi and smiled faintly, "I suppose you've noticed it too, there's something wrong with the space here."

"Yes... I did feel it."

"Follow me..."

The Phoenix Lord called out and flew forward, with Li Qi close behind. Soon, Li Qi understood what was going on.

Li Qi's figure seemed to pass through a thin membrane, arriving in a completely different place. This was a chaotic Void Realm, with space shattered into countless fragments floating everywhere.

Li Qi could even see his reflection through these spatial fragments; it was like a shattered mirror.

Witnessing such a sight, Li Qi couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined... there would be such a place."

The Phoenix Lord then explained to Li Qi, "This is the Immortal Martial True Lord's Land of Dao Attainment... Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky!"

"When the Immortal Martial True Lord achieved the True Lord position, the lingering True Lord's might has persisted to this day. The True Lord's might shattered heaven and earth, causing the space here to remain fragmented and unable to heal for a long time, thus becoming a peculiar place."

Because the power left by the Immortal Martial True Lord here was too terrifying, even space itself could not withstand it, leading to shattered space that has yet to heal.

And Li Qi clearly felt... that terrifying power, majestic like heavenly might.

"Is this the power of the Creation True Lord?"

"Truly extraordinary!!!"

This was only the periphery of the Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky, where the True Lord's power was thinnest, yet it already made Li Qi's heart pound.

If it were the core area of the Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky... how incredible would that be?

The Phoenix Lord was already leading the way: "Two thousand years ago, I came here once and saw some remnants deep within the Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky from afar; they should be what you need."

"Follow me."

With that, the Phoenix Lord led Li Qi in a certain direction, heading deeper into the Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky.

As the two delved deeper, the pressure on them grew heavier. Their full strength erupted, barely resisting the True Lord's coercion.

This was the True Lord's Land of Dao Attainment; ordinary people didn't even have the right to stand here. Even a supreme expert of the Harmony Realm who accidentally entered this place would instantly be crushed into a pulp by the boundless might of the True Lord!

Only a Great Emperor of the Samsara Realm... had the qualification to move freely here.

Previously, the Phoenix Lord said she would guide Li Qi and bring him to the True Lord's Land of Dao Attainment, not only because the place was hidden and hard to find, but also because of the terrifying power of the True Lord within.

At that time, the Phoenix Lord thought Li Qi's strength was insufficient to venture into this place, and she would need to protect Li Qi while he searched for the True Lord's relics.

The Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky was vast. Li Qi estimated this shattered space to be no less than a thousand miles. Li Qi's expression was solemn; he and the Phoenix Lord traveled together like two small fish wandering through it.

A giant spatial fragment flew diagonally towards Li Qi. The fragment's texture was crystal clear, like crystal, and its sharp edges were comparable to divine weapons!

Although the spatial fragment wouldn't scratch Li Qi's body, tearing his clothes would be no problem.

Li Qi's figure flashed to the left, dodging the incoming giant spatial fragment.

There were many such spatial fragments, constantly colliding chaotically, either flying into the distance or flying towards Li Qi and the Phoenix Lord.

While resisting the True Lord's power, they also dodged the flying spatial fragments, so their progress was not fast.

Suddenly, Li Qi's steps halted abruptly. His eyes caught sight of something rather special.

"That is..."

What Li Qi saw was a golden trace, imprinted in the Void Realm. The trace emitted an inexplicable, extremely profound meaning.

Upon discovering this golden trace, Li Qi immediately changed direction and flew towards it. When he reached the golden trace, Li Qi quietly began to examine it.

The Phoenix Lord followed closely and slowly said, "This is the trace manifested from the Immortal Martial True Lord's martial Dao Law comprehension when he attained Dao here back then."

At the same time, a System prompt flashed before Li Qi's eyes.
