Chapter 442 The Domain of the Great Dao
This concentrated and powerful will of all living beings made the Great Dao of All Living Beings within Qi Ping more active than ever before!
It grew stronger at an unbelievable speed.

At the same time, even more astonishingly, this terrifying and concentrated will of all living beings seemed to form a special armor around Qi Ping's body.

However, it is less like armor and more like a field condensed to the extreme!

"A Great Dao Domain at the Integration Stage."

Having fully grasped the function and power of this domain, Qi Ping found it difficult to suppress his excitement.

This kind of domain can only be created when one's understanding of a law is raised to the level of the Integration Stage. The existence of this domain is also the reason why Integration Stage cultivators can crush Void Refinement Stage cultivators.

Just like Baili Yun, after breaking through to the Integration Stage, he comprehended the terrifying True Demon Domain!

"Unexpectedly, this war became an opportunity for a rapid breakthrough."

Qi Ping never imagined that this war would allow his Dao of Heaven and Earth to advance so rapidly, even far surpassing Meng Tianqi's Dao of Life and Death, which had improved so quickly amidst life and death!

This concentrated and extremely powerful will of all living beings was simply his best tonic!

It should be noted that in the other Great Dao of Laws he cultivates, the Great Dao of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, he can use the abilities of the [Plant Monarch] to quickly gain insights into the laws from the spiritual plants he has contracted.

Having thoroughly digested all the tree species of the Star Sea Continent, Qi Ping now has over a hundred types of high-potential spirit trees under contract, including nine of the rarest Yin-attribute spirit trees. Therefore, Qi Ping's comprehension of these laws is extremely fast, and he has now almost completely pushed them all to the level of late-stage Nascent Soul to perfect Nascent Soul.

However, this speed is still insignificant compared to the speed at which all living beings in the world comprehend the Great Dao.

"From this perspective, I have already possessed two Great Daos that far surpass my own realm."

In general, the strength of a cultivator will not exceed the limit of their own realm, but there are exceptions.

For example, a little stone spirit can become a void-level life form. This means that the evolution of its physical body and life level has broken through the limits, and it has embarked on another special path.

For example, by borrowing some extraordinary and powerful force, such as the spirit of the ocean in the boundless ocean, one can draw upon the power of the ocean; or the earth immortal in the realm of earth immortals, one can draw upon the power of the entire world. Within the realm of earth immortals, one will become the absolute darling of the world, almost an invincible existence.

However, this power has great limitations. Once you leave the area where you are located, your strength will plummet. For example, the combat power of Qi Ping in the Nine Star Seas is not even in the same league as that of Qi Ping outside the Nine Star Seas.

Among all the exceptions, the most common and adaptable situation is when the comprehended laws and principles far exceed the limits of one's realm.

Just like Qi Ping now, even though his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he has actually comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and all living beings to the level of the Integration stage!
However, such situations are extremely rare. Whether it is a world-class super war or gaining this level of prestige and faith, uniting the will of all living beings in the world, it is far more difficult for ordinary people to transcend their limits and comprehend higher levels of the Great Dao.

This is also why, in historical records, those who achieved something outstanding generally possessed extraordinary combat power.

Those who comprehend the laws of the Integration stage at the Nascent Soul stage are often found among reincarnated or reborn cultivators who have possessed another body. They have already cultivated a Great Dao to or beyond that level. What they need to do now is to integrate the laws of the Great Dao with their physical body. As long as their physical body and foundation can withstand it, they can unleash power far exceeding their own level.

However, this does not mean that one can reach this level simply by reincarnating or possessing another body. It is necessary to have the right timing, location, and people to make one's physical body and cultivation foundation capable of withstanding two realms beyond oneself. Even one out of ten reincarnated masters may not be able to achieve this.

However, Qi Ping's terrifying Yin-Yang and Five Elements foundation is precisely the most robust and solid foundation. Furthermore, under various special conditions, Qi Ping has elevated his Five Elements foundation to an unprecedented level.

In particular, the innate advantages brought by the Earth Immortal Druid have allowed Qi Ping to hone his foundation to a near-perfect degree. Among all the existing cultivators of the Star Sea Continent or the historical figures recorded in history that Qi Ping has seen so far, there has never been one who can rival him in terms of foundation!

It was precisely because of this powerful foundation that he was able to withstand the laws of the Integration stage at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, as well as the special laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and all living beings. And his Yin-Yang and Five Elements foundation was precisely the foundation that best suited the special laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and all living beings.

"It's all about timing and luck!"

"This is a surprise, but it is also reasonable. Without the accumulation of experience in the past, such as the polishing of the foundation and the dedicated development of the Star Sea Continent, we would not have achieved today's results."

Qi Ping felt immense joy; this breakthrough had come at just the right time!
"Fellow Daoists, I will be the first to step into this battlefield. I hope to see your triumphant return after the Realm Battle is over!"

After Qi Ping's confident and authoritative voice fell, he was the first to step into the teleportation channel of the boundary battlefield, leaving behind only a special Dao Domain pressure that only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could unleash!
"What kind of oppressive aura did Lord Star Emperor unleash at the end just now?"

"The Great Dao Domain of the Integration Stage?"

"So, does this mean that Lord Star Emperor also possesses the combat power of a Fusion Realm cultivator?"

"May the stars be blessed!"

"Fellow Daoists, follow Lord Star Emperor and charge in! Let those little brats of the Demon Realm become our nourishment!"

One after another, incredibly encouraging voices rang out within the City of Fallen Immortals.

This was undoubtedly the last boost to morale before the battle; no amount of rousing words could compare to Qi Ping's final breakthrough in battle!

With the Star Emperor of the Star Sea Faith breaking through once again, everyone knows that Qi Ping's already unpredictable combat power will become even more terrifying.

In this way, the chances of winning this battle are even greater, and the fear brought about by the newly appeared Saint Demon in the Fusion Stage has dissipated considerably.

Of all the people present, Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun were naturally the most shocked.

Baili Yun is a cultivator who has just broken through to the True Demon Realm and reached the Integration Stage. As a True Demon, whose power is extremely rare, there is no doubt about it.

But just a moment ago, he sensed an extreme danger emanating from Qi Ping!
What does this mean? It means that Qi Ping has once again gained power that can threaten him!

Meng Tianqi was even more bewildered. He should have been the fastest among everyone to advance to the Integration Stage, but now two people had rushed in front of him.

Originally, Baili Yun was one thing, after all, as a demonic cultivator, he walked the most extreme and insane path. He himself only broke through to the Integration Stage after becoming a true demon and reshaping his physical body when he was close to the point of no return.

But now, in the blink of an eye, Qi Ping has suddenly raised the Great Dao Law to the Integration Stage and awakened the Great Dao Domain. This is simply outrageous!

However, Meng Tianqi glanced at the countless spirited cultivators behind him and, recalling Qi Ping's unique cultivation path, immediately had a guess in his mind.

"As expected of the Star Emperor!"

"But no matter what, I need to speed up my breakthrough to the Integration Stage. If special circumstances arise, it wouldn't be unreasonable to advance the Dao of Life and Death to the Integration Stage ahead of schedule and awaken the Domain of Life and Death."

Meng Tianqi quickly made a decision. "Hey Lao Meng, look, even the Star Emperor has awakened his Great Dao Domain. I think you need to speed things up!"

Baili Yun looked at Meng Tianqi with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.

"If I wanted to, I could force a breakthrough right now, just so I could beat you up badly afterward and accumulate more experience. Then it won't be of any use for you to beg for mercy." Meng Tianqi rolled his eyes at the gossipy Baili Yun, who really had no sense of dignity as a Nascent Soul stage expert.

However, Meng Tianqi quickly added:
"Old Dao, there are quite a few Saint Demons in the Integration Stage on the other side. Although we will have a stronger boost from the Realm Battlefield as the home team, it may not be enough to turn the tide. So you'd better stay alive, lest I have no one to beat up later!"

However, Baili Yun was somewhat dismissive of these words.

"Hey Lao Meng, have you forgotten something? When the Star Emperor awakens his Great Dao Domain, he'll probably appear in the Saint Demon Battlefield during the Integration Stage. Anyone in the Void Refinement Stage..."

Baili Yun didn't continue speaking, but Meng Tianqi's expression changed drastically.

"Damn it!" Meng Tianqi couldn't help but swear.

Although it's a bit of a pain, I'm still confident enough. I have a trump card that allows me to forcefully break through the fusion at any time, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

"hey-hey!"

Upon seeing Meng Tianqi, who was somewhat exasperated, Baili Yun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Meng Tianqi get his comeuppance made him feel incredibly satisfied!
"Let's enter the interdimensional battlefield as well!"

Just as Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun were preparing to enter the Realm Battlefield, an unexpectedly beautiful figure appeared outside the Immortal Fall City.

"Ji Qingyue?"

"What is she here for?"

Immediately afterwards, Baili Yun, who had already achieved the True Demon stage of the Fusion Realm, forcibly brought Ji Qingyue over without saying a word. Faced with Baili Yun's confinement, Ji Qingyue did not choose to resist, but allowed Baili Yun to imprison her.

"Ji Qingyue, didn't you run away? Why are you back? Are you tired of living?"

Baili Yun asked without any politeness.

The reason he didn't take action was because when Ji Qingyue escaped, she didn't try to take advantage of the situation, but instead left behind the strongest spiritual vein of the Star Sea Continent, which is now the strongest seven-colored ancestral vein of the Star Sea Continent.

The seven-colored ancestral vein has played an indispensable role in enabling Baili Yun and Meng Tianqi to reach where they are today.

In addition, Ji Qingyue also left behind many rare spiritual herbs, cultivation techniques, research insights, and treasures in her secret base. These things have played a significant role in the development of the Star Sea Continent in recent years.

It is precisely for this reason that Baili Yun has now chosen to detain and interrogate her. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have already killed this traitor with a single blow, even though Ji Qingyue has not actually done anything to betray the Star Sea Continent.

Meng Tianqi looked at the former number one expert of the Star Sea Continent with some curiosity, wondering why this guy had come back. Wasn't he afraid of being cleaved in two by Baili Yun?
At the same time, Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. It's really important to follow the right person!

Ji Qingyue, once the strongest person on the Star Sea Continent, is no longer one at all.

It's hard to say whether Meng Tianqi will win against this terrifying guy, but Qi Ping and Baili Yun can both kill him at any time.

"Of course I chose to return to fight for the Star Sea Continent. With the Demon Clan invading, it's only right that I do my part," Ji Qingyue replied calmly.
"However, I also know that because of what happened back then, you won't believe me. So, to show my sincerity, I'm willing to offer up my soul essence and make a vow to the Heavenly Dao."

Ji Qingyue was naturally prepared for this question.

Wasn't her decision to leave behind those assets and resources precisely so that she would have more options?

In retrospect, her backup plan back then was indeed a good one.

But he also knew that without showing any sincerity, the two people in front of him would never believe him.

Upon hearing this answer, Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun exchanged a glance, but dared not make a decision rashly, so they immediately informed Qi Ping of the current situation.

Qi Ping quickly responded:

[We can give her a chance, but she must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and obtain her soul essence. In addition to these, we must plant a true demonic seed in her consciousness and soul, and detonate it immediately if anything goes wrong.]

After receiving Qi Ping's reply, the two of them immediately felt reassured.

Qi Ping did this for a simple reason: Ji Qingyue initially sided with the opposing camp, so she could not be trusted under any circumstances.

However, the other party eventually softened their stance, leaving behind something that would greatly benefit the Nine Realms of the Star Sea. For this reason, she deserves a chance. Furthermore, as the former absolute strongest person on the Star Sea Continent, her combat power and talent are beyond question. If she is willing to fight sincerely, she can play a significant role in this battle.

However, no matter what, the oath to Heaven must be made, the origin of the soul must be obtained, and the demon seed restriction of the True Demon Realm must be lifted. In any case, these safeguards are essential.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ji Qingyue finally felt relieved.

"Alright! No problem, I agree to all these conditions! In addition, I am willing to contribute all my cultivation techniques and treasures except for spiritual herbs and pills."

After saying that, Ji Qingyue immediately handed over many things, including her soul essence. These things allowed Baili Yun to plant a True Demon Seed restriction, and she also made a very strict oath to the Heavenly Dao.

After doing all this, Ji Qingyue gave Baili Yun and Meng Tianqi a deep look, and then rushed into the battlefield of the realm.

Seeing that these two people, who were once weaker than her, had grown to such a level, especially Baili Yun who was terrifyingly strong, she naturally felt a mix of emotions.

She made the wrong choice back then!

Fortunately, she had left herself some room for maneuver; otherwise, she wouldn't even have a chance to fight to the death now. But as long as she kills enough enemies now, there's still a chance. After all, the Star Sea Continent still needs more power to deal with the terrifying number of demons.
Although the chances of Starsea Continent winning are not high, it is precisely because of this that there is a real opportunity for easing tensions.
