You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 448 The Corpse Collector

As the mark between Chang Qing's eyebrows gradually turned black, the deep green healing power in his essence also began to be tinged with black.

However, this force did not weaken the healing power of the power itself; instead, it added a terrifying devouring power to this healing power.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was not on that. Too many demons had come after hearing the noise, and they had to deal with the approaching demon cultivators as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if too many demons gathered, their situation would still be dangerous.

Fortunately, with powerful healing and recovery abilities as support, everyone unleashed their full potential under the blessing of the Azure God Army Formation, their spears striking like dragons and their giant hammers shaking the world. Each strike shattered a demon into several pieces.
Time passed in this way, and everyone except Chang Qing had gone into a frenzy of killing. Every inch of their bodies was covered with unknown entrails, and the surrounding area was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.
Due to excessive exertion, when the last demon fell, everyone's hearts were still pounding, their eyes fixed on every corner, all thoughts focused on the battle.
It wasn't until quite some time after the battle ended that Chang'e was the first to react:

"it's over?"

His words jolted the others awake from their reverie.

"it's over?"

"The demons are all dead?"

After frantically sweeping with his divine sense and continuously casting out detection spells, he still couldn't find anyone. Finally, Little Gun Immortal couldn't help but collapse to the ground.

The three members of the Azure God Army first set up an array before lying on the ground like mud.

Every part of my body seemed to freeze instantly at that moment.

Yes, it's over!

This damned war.
The slaughter was so fierce that flesh and blood flew everywhere, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood were formed.
Killing until numb and broken
At the beginning, almost everyone was filled with the desire to kill the enemy and achieve glory, but now, they have lost count of how many enemies they have killed, how many times they have been wounded, how many times they have teetered on the brink of death, and how many times they have seen their comrades fall beside them.
My entire being, including my consciousness, was enveloped in a dense, sticky mess of meat paste and blood.

In the end, they didn't know why they were killing the enemy, why they were there, or when it would end. There was no time to think about anything. The only thoughts left were killing the enemy and surviving!

The negative emotions that arose in their hearts were released wildly before they could even be thought out, turning into the power of killing.

They were still unable to break free from that state even after the battle ended.

Chang'e's question, "Is it over?" was like a call, waking them from that bizarre and terrifying dream.

At that moment, almost everyone shed tears, but they didn't know why.

Fear, dread, madness, murderous intent, exhaustion, despair—all the latent emotions surged forth at this moment.

Before this, the life-and-death battles they had experienced and the number of people they had killed were nothing compared to what they had experienced today!
The first battle was so brutal; no one expected it.

They had prepared for the worst possible outcome of the war, but only after experiencing it firsthand could they truly understand the despair, the pain, and the profound exhaustion that touched their very souls.

Only the three members of the Azure God Army were in better condition. They had been through many battles and were therefore more accepting of such killings, but this was the first time they had fought so desperately.

This is the first time I've encountered something this difficult.

If even they have such a hard time, what about everyone else?
Will those companions who spend every day with you survive?

This is only their first battle; it's far from over.
However, these people soon noticed that Chang Qing seemed to be in a strange state. He was enveloped by a bizarre power interwoven with black and blue, and the mysterious mark between his brows had also turned into a mixture of black and blue. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was enduring extreme pain.
The battlefield where Chang Qing, Xiao Qiang Xian, and the others were located was merely a microcosm of the many interdimensional battlefields.

They were unfortunate to have encountered a demon race that far outnumbered them, with the human-to-demon ratio reaching an astonishing one to over a hundred!

Hearing this number before the war even began would have been utterly despairing. Fighting a hundred opponents of the same level? Or a race like the Demons, whose combat strength is all above average?
But they ultimately won. Their formidable individual combat strength and teamwork, the legendary Azure God Army Formation, the talismans and armor crafted with the power of the entire starry sea, and the fact that each individual continuously pushed their physical limits to unleash their full combat power were the reasons that allowed them to be fortunate enough to win this battle.

If they survive this battle, they will surely achieve an unprecedented rebirth and breakthrough.

However, in the entire Golden Core battlefield, many more people are unfortunate because the enemy is simply impossible to kill!

The weapons were all broken.

The talismans are all used up.

The healing and recovery pills are all gone.

One by one, his companions fell, until he was the only one left.

When he finally reached out his hand at the very end, all he found was a broken weapon, a shattered suit of armor, and himself covered in wounds.

The storage bag was empty, the spiritual energy was depleted, and even the companions had all collapsed.

But the demons continued to pour in!

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as he was torn apart by a pair of sharp claws, and then, amidst the final pain, he fell into a deep sleep.
This is the current state of the Golden Core stage battlefield.

No one knows what these people were thinking in their last moments before death—whether it was the unattainable dream of becoming an immortal, the family they would never see again, or the regrets that could never be fulfilled.
A crushing defeat on the battlefield during the Golden Core stage!

Countless prodigies and powerful Qing Shen Army soldiers perished on this battlefield. Their past glories and bright future were all buried with them on that cold battlefield, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.
The only consolation was that a person wearing a special concealment artifact appeared on the battlefield, collecting the demon corpses and also carefully placing the tattered corpses of the Star Sea Warriors and their belongings into a specially made jade coffin.
They are a team of corpse collectors specially trained by the Star Sea Continent. They are not good at fighting, and all their magical treasures and methods are designed for hiding and escaping.

Their purpose in entering the battlefield was to collect the corpses, gathering the demon bodies to use as resources for the Starsea World, and to bring back the remains of every Starsea warrior, giving them a place to rest in peace.
However, although the Golden Core level battlefield suffered a crushing defeat, there were still some realm battlefields where victory was achieved, just like the world where Chang Qing and Chang E lived!

What's even more surprising is that this extremely brutal battlefield, with the lowest survival rate, gave birth to even more extraordinary talents who surpassed their time!

Just like Chang Qing at this moment, after experiencing the initial pain and extremely difficult transformation, his cultivation foundation is now several times stronger than before!
When Chang Qing stood up from the extreme pain, his eyes had completely changed.

His once gentle eyes had turned one blue and one black, especially the black one, which radiated extreme terror, as if it could devour everything it saw!
The entire body also exudes a suffocating feeling that is currently beyond its complete control.

"elder brother."

"The Chang Brothers"

"Friend Chang"

"How are you feeling?" The others asked with concern as they saw Chang Qing awaken from his pain.

Chang Qing simply shook his head and said:

"I'm fine, don't worry. I've gained a lot from this breakthrough. You all rest well. I'll be here guarding the place; no demons will be able to disturb you."

"Brother, are you really alright?" Chang'e grabbed Chang Qing's arm, her eyes filled with worry.

"It's nothing, it's just that what happened was too complicated, and I still need to process a lot of things. You should rest and recover. With your brother here, everything will be alright!"

Chang Qing patted Chang E's head affectionately.

Chang'e finally felt relieved after seeing that familiar smile.

"it is good!"

After giving Changqing a warm hug, Chang'e finally felt at ease and fell asleep beside him.

She was so exhausted, and seeing that her brother was alright, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
After leaving Chang'e, Chang Qing's gaze turned icy as he looked at the demon corpses not far away.

"Demon race, the next battle will be the final battleground of the Golden Core stage. You will not have an easy time in this battle!"

Simply learning medicine won't save these friends; they'll need to devour demons.
If you devour all the enemies, you can save your companions!

Every life-or-death crisis his sister and her brother, Little Gun Immortal, had faced had deeply wounded his heart.

But starting today, that will absolutely not happen again!
He absolutely will not allow this to happen again!
On the same battlefield where everyone was at the Golden Core stage, above the endless corpses of the demons, towering figures rose up one after another.

Some of them are towering, blood-red willow trees.

Some were swordsmen covered in blood.

Some are Dharma practitioners who have frozen thousands of miles away.

Some are body cultivators whose physical bodies are extremely brilliant.
These prodigies, who rose from despair and death, were all imbued with an extreme killing intent.
The only thing they had in common was that in the next battle, they would never let their comrades fall beside them again, because if it weren't for their presence, they would have already fallen and become cold corpses.

Each of these individuals is a terrifying prodigy born from the most dire circumstances. After this true baptism of blood and fire, they will awaken their true potential and become the most terrifying killing demons.
Their resolve is so firm that nothing can shake it.

At this moment, in addition to the Golden Core battlefield, the Foundation Establishment battlefield also presented a similar scene.

However, the situation on the Foundation Establishment battlefield was relatively better. As the battle progressed, the win rate gradually caught up with that of the demons.

After experiencing extreme adversity and slaughter, one after another, these young prodigies grew into truly towering and invincible powerhouses.

There is a reason for this, because the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Battlefield and the Golden Core Battlefield are the geniuses born after Qi Ping reshaped the Nine Domains of the Star Sea, and the Golden Core cultivators are the group with the highest potential and talent among them.

The Foundation Establishment stage represents the largest group of prodigies.

Unfortunately, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators are precisely the weakest levels on the Star Sea Continent. So even though they knew before the war that it would be exceptionally brutal, they had no choice but to send everyone up.

Especially those promising talents, without their participation, these two battlefields would undoubtedly be lost.

So even knowing that death was the most likely outcome, and that most of the prodigies would perish in battle, they still had to push forward.

Otherwise, if we suffer defeat here and defeat there, everyone, including the entire Star Sea Continent, will be completely destroyed!

Fortunately, these exceptional talents have awakened and revived amidst the flames of blood and fire. Having experienced the most desperate, terrifying, sorrowful, and powerless moments, nothing can defeat them now.

Now that they have gained even greater combat power, they are convinced that they can tear apart any enemy in their path!
Moreover, they knew that there must be others like them, waiting for the next decisive battle to break through the enemy's lines!
Having witnessed the true power of the Azure God Army, they also knew that the real moment for their counterattack would come when the surviving warriors gathered together and formed the true Azure God Army formation.

Furthermore, the earthen mound of the Star Sea World also played a crucial role in enabling the birth of such powerful and numerous prodigies in this battle.

It is precisely because of the almost equal recruitment and training conditions, the best training system, the most accurate talent discovery and perception methods, and the most suitable cultivation techniques, coupled with the ultimate equipment, pills and talisman resources that the Star Sea Continent can provide today, that more people are able to barely break through and transform at the limit.

Otherwise, if one or more of these links were missing, the Foundation Establishment battlefield and the Golden Core battlefield would probably be almost completely wiped out by now.

A world that only knows how to establish classes and control will not produce many strong individuals, and will eventually be overtaken by stronger successors.

At this moment, in the eyes of those truly transformed peerless geniuses, the real war has only just begun.

On the next battlefield, they will show the demons what fear truly means!

However, while the battles between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators were fierce, the battles between Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators were much better.

Although there are many battlefields at these two levels, there are several that can turn the tide of battle.

The Void Fish were the most prominent among them. With their spatial talents, they were extremely strong in escaping, defending, and attacking. However, what truly allowed them to rewrite the battlefield landscape was their ability to break through the barriers between realms.

This ability allowed them to lead those beings with absolute power to sweep across the battlefield at the Nascent Soul level!

On these battlefields, the most dazzling performers in killing enemies were the demonic insects.

As the Lord of the Star Sea, Qi Ping's strongest spirit bees perfectly covered the battlefield of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation levels.

The Nascent Soul battlefield features the Heavenly Emperor Bees and the Netherworld Bees, as well as the Balanced Bees, which combine the characteristics of these two bee species. They are already among the best in terms of Nascent Soul level combat power, and when their numbers increase, they are almost invincible among their peers. The military formations and battle formations composed of them further enhance their combat power.

However, while Qi Ping's Golden Marrow Bees were powerful, the most dazzling performance came not from them, but from another, even more ferocious, blood-red demonic insect.
