Because it was foreseeable that, after slaying nine Golden Core Cultivators this time, his next breakthrough would unlock hell-level difficulty!
However, Qi Ping felt no fear about this; instead, he was determined to seize this opportunity to eliminate the vermin plaguing the Qingtian Realm!
Only when these pests disappeared could he truly develop and grow the Qingtian Realm while obtaining the "Power of the Living" from most beings in the Qingtian Realm, and then continually strengthen those from whom he could gain this power!
Once everything was completed and the Qingtian Realm was powerful enough, he would become a true immortal!
...
After Qi Ping quietly returned to his territory, the news of nine Golden Core Cultivators being killed spread, instantly causing a massive earthquake in the Qingtian Realm!
And not just the Qingtian Realm, but the surrounding Celestial Fire Realm, Mountain Sea Realm, and other Great Realms were all thrown into immense shock!
