Chapter 435 True Demonic Realm!
"Fellow Daoist Baili!"

"The Demon Blade Master!"

Seeing Baili Yun's completely annihilated physical body and soul, everyone on the Star Sea Continent, including Qi Ping, Meng Tianqi, and the Wood Immortal Daoist, felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

Because the destruction of the soul and the body results in utter death!
Baili Yun's performance just now was already incredibly powerful, but under the bombardment of the Nascent Soul stage lightning tribulation and the combined attack of many demons, he has finally reached this point.

"Heh heh! Damn humans!"

"Good death!"

"To dare to break through under such circumstances, and even attempt to use lightning tribulation to block our return and destroy the void passage, what difference is there between such foolish behavior and courting death?"

"It's a pity about the Thousand-Eyed Troll. He was actually killed by such a madman. Otherwise, our invasion would have been much easier!"

"But this group of humans is nothing special. Go back and open the altar, rebuild the passage, and welcome the arrival of our race's combined holy demon and the world's will. Once we take this place, all the losses will be recovered, and our race will become even stronger!"

The initial defeat in this battle was somewhat unexpected for them, but it did not discourage them.

In this battle, they have thoroughly grasped the limits of the strength of the Star Sea Continent, which is much higher than the intelligence indicated. However, that's all they are capable of. In terms of overall strength, they are many times stronger.

Once we are prepared, those annoying guys from the Star Sea Continent will surely die!

Especially that madman with the knife, he's completely dead!

They were still somewhat wary of this madman, Baili Yun. They had never seen such a terrifying demonic cultivator before. If this guy with the knife became a Nascent Soul cultivator, although they would still win, their casualties would inevitably increase significantly.

"Wait!"

"You won't live much longer!"

"We will soon return and devour your flesh and soul piece by piece!"

"Foolish humans, you are nothing but food for our Holy Demon race. The purpose of your existence is to be devoured by us!"

As these demons left the passage, a continuous chorus of mocking laughter rang out.

Although they were defeated just now, it did not affect their morale, which is one of the scary things about them.

No matter how many people die, they will find an opportunity to devour each other. The death of any companions cannot frighten them. When they appear again, all the moves of the Star Sea Continent will be rendered ineffective!

As the demons disappeared one by one into the void passage, it meant that the Star Sea Continent had ultimately won the first battle against the demons!
However, there wasn't much joy in the hearts of the people at that moment.

The initial excitement and joy were quickly overshadowed by the continuous stream of demons emerging from the passage!

The number of demons far exceeds that of their side, from the Void Refinement stage to the Nascent Soul stage!

But the most terrifying of all the demons are the low-level demons, who are like natural disasters! The number of high-level demons is already so large, so how many of those terrifying low-level demons are there?

If it weren't for the extraordinary combat power of Qi Ping and the Qing Shen Army, they would probably all be dead by now; if those high-ranking demons hadn't been unwilling to risk their lives, they definitely wouldn't have won this battle so easily.

The disheveled state of Qi Ping and the others was now clearly displayed before everyone.

This was the first time they had ever seen Qi Ping fight so badly. Since Qi Ping became famous, he had always swept across the world. But now he had come to this.

Especially the Demon Blade Dao Ancestor, whose soul and spirit were completely annihilated!

A sense of sorrow and a hint of despair rose in people's hearts. Although their fighting spirit and killing intent remained fierce, this emotion was still unavoidable.

Qi Ping also noticed the spread of this sentiment, but he didn't say anything more.

The digestion and acceptance of such emotions takes time, and he had already taken so many precautions before the war. If he couldn't even bear this level of despair, he wouldn't be qualified to make great strides on the path of cultivation and soar to new heights.

Those who are able to cultivate step by step to the highest realm have mostly experienced similar desperate predicaments, only on a smaller scale.

But this world-class war is also a rare opportunity!

In a world-class war, the heavens and earth tremble, the power of laws becomes active, and the difficulty of cultivation and the speed of comprehending cultivation will increase rapidly. If a cultivator has excellent aptitude, he will also unleash unimaginable potential under such pressure.

Although Qi Ping disliked wars where the outcome was uncertain and did not like achieving breakthroughs in the face of life and death, he had to admit that life-or-death battles and large-scale wars were the best ways to unleash personal potential.

In world-class wars of this magnitude, because all cultivators, from high-level to low-level, are involved, and cultivators at every level experience life and death, unimaginable and astonishingly powerful individuals are often born in these wars, a fact supported by numerous records.

Moreover, Qi Ping also saw that among the guys behind him, although some had a look of sorrow and fear in their eyes, most of them gradually digested this emotion, and some even burst forth with unimaginable fighting spirit. Their aura was constantly gathering and becoming stronger, and their eyes were shining with an unprecedented light.

Especially within the Azure God Army, having experienced the baptism of a true life-or-death battle, these exceptional human prodigies, one in a million, began to gradually awaken their potential.

"There's not much I can do, except provide you with the best platform for growth, a platform superior to any of the past. None of your talents will be suppressed. I hope you won't let me down!"

"The enemy is very strong, so strong that a direct confrontation with us would reduce us to ashes. But in the intertwined battlefield of the two worlds, anything is possible. I will give you the best cultivation techniques and resources. You must give birth to the strongest among the myriad realms of tomorrow!"

Looking at some of the promising individuals, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

A desperate situation, but not without a chance to break through!
How can one expect to live a good life in this world without any setbacks?

Qi Ping withdrew his gaze from the people behind him, his emotions not fluctuating much. He was already mentally prepared for this level of situation.

At this moment, Qi Ping's gaze was more focused on the terrifying demonic energy permeating the world, and the lightning tribulation that had not yet dissipated.

"Is it the same as I guessed?" A sense of anticipation rose in Qi Ping's heart.

Normally, if one's body and soul are completely destroyed, one is definitely dead beyond any doubt. However, there are exceptions. For example, Qi Ping is able to quickly regenerate even when his soul and body are destroyed. However, achieving this level of regeneration is extremely difficult.

However, if one can achieve this, it signifies something extraordinary.

Soon, everyone except Qi Ping also noticed this anomaly.

"How can the demonic energy in this world still be so strong? After the Demon Blade Dao Master fell, shouldn't this demonic energy have quickly diminished?" "And that Nascent Soul stage lightning tribulation hasn't dissipated either!"

"Look, those golden lightning tribulations are killing off those demonic beings. Could it be that the Demon Blade Dao Master is still alive? No way!"

"That's possible, otherwise the tribulation lightning would definitely stop! Has anyone ever heard of the tribulation continuing after the person undergoing it dies?"

"But...the Demon Blade Dao Master has clearly been completely annihilated, body and soul!"

"Could it be that the Demon Blade Master has already reached the True Demon level in his understanding of demons? How is that possible?"

What is the true demon?

Someone asked in confusion.

"True Demon is one of the highest realms pursued by demonic cultivators. This realm is not limited by cultivation level. Once reached, one can completely break free from all constraints, be of the purest and most genuine nature, and not be restricted by the physical body and soul. With a single thought, one can transform into a demonic being and merge into heaven and earth; with another thought, one can re-condense a True Demon body!"

"A demonic cultivator who has reached this stage cannot be killed by ordinary means! But this is just a legend, and it's impossible to be sure if it's true!"

"But the current situation is too similar to the legends of the True Demon Realm!"

The explanation was given by an elderly man in the Nascent Soul stage, who is now an elder in charge of the cultivation technique pavilion at Xinghai Academy.

As he finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened in unimaginable shock.

If this is true, then a True Demon Cultivator at the Integration Stage will appear on the Star Sea Continent!

That level of power is something that ordinary people can't easily imagine!
At this moment, everyone felt a surge of anticipation, hoping for the arrival of a true demon!

Suddenly, a demonic cultivator seemed to have an epiphany, and his spiritual power and demonic nature began to surge, then transformed into the purest energy and insight, flying towards the direction where Baili Yun's soul and spirit were annihilated.

After one demonic cultivator took the lead, one demonic cultivator after another began to follow suit, one, two, a thousand, ten thousand!

With the intervention of these forces, it was like water being thrown into hot oil, and the demonic energy in the world instantly boiled up several levels!
Then, countless demonic forces seemed to have gained enough power and consciousness, and began to rapidly converge on the location where Baili Yun's soul and body had been destroyed!

Soon, a blurry figure began to take shape, and an earth-shattering aura of true demonic power began to emerge!
However, what was most exciting was that an aura that everyone was extremely familiar with appeared among that blurry figure!

"The Demon Blade Master has returned!"

"I'm really back!"

The people on the Star Sea Continent were in an uproar, but the demonic cultivators were even more excited!

"The True Demon Realm! The True Demon Realm actually exists!"

Qi Ping and Meng Tianqi smiled slightly when they saw this.

Baili Yun actually succeeded!
"What a crazy guy!" Qi Ping exclaimed.

“But shouldn’t a pure demon be like this?” Meng Tianqi replied.

However, what shocked Meng Tianqi even more than Baili Yun reaching the legendary realm of true demon was Qi Ping.

At this moment, he felt even more deeply the true aura of a king that Qi Ping possessed.

If it weren't for Qi Ping, the Star Sea Continent would still be filled with mutual slaughter and suspicion, and no one would be happy to see the birth of a Nascent Soul stage expert. Ordinary demonic cultivators would not have contributed their strength when Baili Yun faced difficulties.

The unity and support within the Star Sea Continent are unprecedented.

The existence of this kind of atmosphere is countless times rarer than that of the True Demon Realm.

The appearance of a True Demon Realm cultivator is certainly enough to shake the world, but what is even more terrifying is this earthen mound that can support the birth of a True Demon Realm cultivator!
The former is a strong person, but only one. As long as there is such a soil bag, there will definitely be more than one strong person similar to the True Demon Realm!
At this moment, Meng Tianqi's admiration and confidence in Qi Ping reached its peak.

At this moment, he finally saw a corner of Qi Ping's incredibly broad mind. Perhaps it was because of the existence of such a person that the Star Sea Continent was able to gradually enter such a prosperous era, instead of just scheming against each other over a tiny place and resources.

"Such an emperor, throughout history, is unique!"

Meng Tianqi originally thought that apart from the difference in his status as an Earth Immortal, he might have a chance to catch up with Qi Ping in terms of cultivation. But now, he truly felt that what Qi Ping might be pursuing was the chaotic sea of ​​stars that he had never seen or even imagined.

And by following such a person, one is bound to soar to great heights, instead of having one's will bound by trivial matters.

At this moment, Meng Tianqi was truly impressed by Qi Ping.

Just then, Baili Yun's recovery encountered trouble. Under the terrifying lightning tribulation, Baili Yun's incompletely condensed True Demon Body was constantly being shattered by the golden lightning tribulation, preventing the True Demon Body from truly condensing successfully.

It's still too difficult for Baili Yun to condense a true demonic body. Although he barely succeeded, there are still huge risks involved.

However, this problem was quickly resolved, because Meng Tianqi saw that Qi Ping had taken out a large number of pills and honey. Under the influence of a five-colored light, these diluted treasures were all transformed into the purest energy and flowed continuously into Baili Yun's continuously condensing and dissipating True Demon body.

With the help of this power, the condensation of Baili Yun's True Demon Body was finally a foregone conclusion. The terrifying golden lightning tribulations could no longer pose a fatal threat to him, but instead became resources for tempering his True Demon Body.

At this moment, Baili Yun's tribulation at the Integration Stage was finally over without any suspense.

As the tribulation lightning gradually came to an end, the aura of a powerful demonic cultivator in the Integration stage rose up and quickly dominated the entire world!

That terrifying aura of true demons almost made the heavens and earth tremble!

After the feedback from heaven and earth was completely absorbed by Baili Yun, a supreme True Demon in the Integration Stage was born!
Everything in the universe can become a demon in a single thought!
However, after such a super true demon was born, it did something that surprised everyone:
He swiftly appeared before Qi Ping, knelt on one knee, and said with utmost respect:

"Your subordinate, Baili Yun, thanks the Star Emperor for his grace!"

When that voice fell, the people of the Star Sea Continent didn't feel much, only that it was as it should be, and that Qi Ping was worthy. However, the cultivators of the Heavenly Dragon Continent who saw this scene through the Heavenly Treasure were completely dumbfounded.
Those are demonic cultivators from the True Demon Realm!
