You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 466 If one hears the Way in the morning, one may die content in the evening.
The soul depends on the body, and consciousness depends on the soul. Consciousness that loses its soul will become a rootless duckweed.

Even cultivators at the Void Refinement stage cannot maintain their consciousness for long after losing their soul; they must rely on special items to sustain their consciousness.

Integrating consciousness into the laws of the Great Dao is an extremely dangerous thing; even with a divine soul, one could still be scattered by the terrifying power of the Great Dao.

At this moment, Meng Tianqi was doing something extremely dangerous!

Although at this moment he was merging with the power he had summoned and controlled, it was enough to prevent his consciousness from collapsing.

Once the power summoned by his self-sacrifice is completely exhausted, he must find a way to merge with the Dao, truly comprehend the laws of life and death, and ensure that he can survive within the laws of life and death for a long time.

Only in this way can he possibly reshape his soul and body.

If he can achieve this, there will be no doubt that Meng Tianqi will break through to the Integration Stage after his rebirth, because simply integrating his consciousness into the Great Dao is more difficult than breaking through to the Integration Stage.

Even cultivators at the Integration Stage must use their physical body and soul as anchors and shields when fusing their consciousness with the laws of the Great Dao; otherwise, they may still be completely assimilated and dispersed by the laws of the Great Dao.

This is also one of the characteristics of the Integration Stage. By fusing oneself with the laws of the Great Dao, one can make the greatest use of the power of the laws of the Great Dao. Being able to use such methods is the strongest power of the Integration Stage. At this time, the power of the laws of the Great Dao that one manipulates is incomparable to that of the Void Refinement Stage.

"Whether I can merge with the Great Dao or not, I don't know, but controlling the power of the Laws of Life and Death through sacrifice is enough to kill a bunch of trash like you!"

Meng Tianqi felt a complete fusion between his consciousness and the laws of life and death, and instead of fear, he felt extremely excited and joyful!
His cultivation of the physical body and foundation was based on the understanding of the laws. When he lacked the resources to cultivate, he often simply stopped cultivating and focused on understanding the laws of life and death. In his cultivation career, he spent most of his time dealing with the laws of life and death.

To him, the laws of life and death were, in a sense, another body.

Unfortunately, he always felt there was a barrier between him and the laws of life and death.

But now that barrier is gone!
Feeling the fusion and harmony with the laws of life and death, Meng Tianqi felt not fear, but joy at breaking through a long-standing predicament.

At this moment, countless things that were previously incomprehensible suddenly become clear!

The joy of having countless years of accumulated doubts and confusion instantly revealed was the greatest joy of Meng Tianqi's life!

At this moment, Meng Tianqi even forgot about his own life and death! "To hear the Dao in the morning and die content in the evening"—perhaps this is the true meaning of this.
However, there was one thing he hadn't forgotten: to use his last strength to offer a great gift to the demons who were pursuing him!
After all, he gained power by sacrificing his own body and soul, so he couldn't just die for nothing!

But this doesn't contradict his insights!
Because at this moment, as the doubts that had troubled him for many years were resolved, his control over the laws of life and death also surged instantly, and the power he summoned through sacrifice became even more powerful!

"The Realm of Life and Death. Life and death are impermanent, an endless cycle of reincarnation!"

The moment the ten demons approached, Meng Tianqi unhesitatingly unleashed his newly mastered ultimate attack!

It turns out that his strongest attack is the Grinding Wheel of Life and Death, which forms a huge grinding wheel of life and death in his own domain, and uses the power of the entangled laws of life and death to unleash the ultimate destructive power.

But at this moment, the laws of life and death merged wildly, and the entire domain instantly enveloped the ten Void Refinement stage demons! An endless and seemingly omnipresent grinding wheel of life and death erupted at this moment, even seeming to carry a pressure similar to that of the Integration stage!
The sheer power of such an attack, unleashed by a top-tier Void Refinement cultivator sacrificing himself, especially after achieving a significant breakthrough, is unimaginable.

Indeed, when Meng Tianqi's Domain of Life and Death and the Grinding Wheel of Life and Death instantly enveloped them, an unprecedented fear rose in their hearts.
"How could he possibly unleash such a terrifying attack?"

"What kind of move is this? Did this human sacrifice himself?"

"Even sacrificing oneself wouldn't allow one to unleash such a technique. It's somewhat similar to the Dao Integration Technique of the human race, but isn't that a power that only cultivators in the Integration Stage can unleash?"

"Damn it, go all out! Otherwise, we'll all die here today!"

These Void Refinement Demons were no ordinary beings, especially the five King-level Void Refinement Demons. But it was precisely because of this that they were able to better appreciate the terror of this attack!
This is definitely power that reaches the Fusion Stage!

At this moment, they had no chance to hesitate and unleashed their power, using their most powerful and secret techniques!
Life and death hang in the balance at this moment. If they could get through this, Meng Tianqi would be completely dead. But if they couldn't get through this, they would have to be buried with Meng Tianqi!
Therefore, at this moment, every Void Refining Demon Clan member unleashed earth-shattering power, revealing their formidable physical bodies and extremely powerful, bizarre talents!
Under normal circumstances, such a force would be enough to sweep across a large area, and no one in the Void Refinement stage could stop it. Even the little stone spirit would have to retreat in the face of such a lineup.

However, it did not play a significant role in Meng Tianqi's field!
A life-or-death struggle, only offense, no defense!
When the omnipresent Demonic Disc of Life and Death erupted, a voice that seemed to come from the Netherworld instantly resounded in every corner of the Realm of Life and Death. Then, the physical bodies of every demon began to wither away madly, turning into nothingness and losing some of their vitality!
Of course, these energies do not disappear into thin air, but rather serve as a replenishment of power to the millstone of life and death, and then continue to transform into power to attack them!
In just a moment, the ten demons suffered heavy losses!

Then, a series of earth-shattering explosions rang out. Meng Tianqi's life and death domain was pierced in three places, and three figures flew out. They were none other than three king-level Void Refinement Demon Clan members!
However, they looked extremely miserable after they flew out. More than half of their life force had been drained by the millstone of life and death, and their entire bodies were being eroded by the power of death. Their bodies were still decaying at an alarming rate.

"madman!"

"He's a fucking lunatic!"

The three king-level demons stared at the life-and-death domain that had nearly devoured them, their eyes filled with uncontrollable fear! Who could have imagined that ten Void Refinement Demons, five of whom were top-tier king-level beings, would almost be wiped out by joining forces!

Now, as the commotion within the Realm of Life and Death gradually subsided, the fate of the seven Void Refinement Demons who managed to escape was self-evident. Even those who escaped suffered unimaginable heavy losses!
Before they chased after Meng Tianqi, they never expected that seven of the ten demons would perish! The remaining three were also severely injured, their strength less than half of their peak.

Given their current injuries, it will be extremely difficult for them to recover. How to completely eliminate the death energy within them is a very thorny issue.

Fortunately, after this power erupted, the domain of life and death shrank rapidly, and Meng Tianqi's aura also quickly faded away.

This means that Meng Tianqi no longer has the strength to fight, or that he has perished after sacrificing himself.

With the complete disappearance of the realm of life and death, the situation inside was revealed.

As the realm of life and death dissipated, the seven withered demon corpses fell from the sky. They no longer possessed any vitality, only a layer of death power that made the three surviving demons' scalps tingle!
Once they come into contact with that power, their injuries will definitely worsen again!

However, what terrified them even more was that Meng Tianqi's power had not completely dissipated, but left behind a small millstone of life and death in the air, containing the rich life force from their demon race and a trace of Meng Tianqi's aura!
However, the remaining millstone of life and death had no intention of attacking them; it simply flickered and vanished into the void.
Faced with this scene, the three surviving King-level Void Refinement Demons exchanged glances and, instead of giving chase, chose to leave in the opposite direction!
Although they knew that if they chased after Meng Tianqi, there was a very high probability that they could completely kill him, but at the same time, one of the three demons among them might also perish!
This is something they absolutely do not want to face.

The fearlessness of death is only directed at those demons with low mental capacity, and only when driven by high-level demons will they have no fear. How could these high-level demons possibly throw their lives away for nothing?

Hunters can swarm to seize their prey, but sacrifice is absolutely unacceptable!
Many of them climbed up from the bottom of the demon race, and many were among the most cowardly and intelligent. They possessed the most extreme evil and were best at attacking their prey like venomous snakes.
But under no circumstances, unless they are controlled, they will never choose to sacrifice themselves.

To live! And then to devour everything that can be devoured—that is their most instinctive desire!
This is the current situation of the entire Demon Clan's high-ranking officials.

Therefore, faced with a battle they were not confident of winning, they turned and left without hesitation.
This starry world is so strange; none of the cultivation worlds they've encountered before have been like this.
On the other hand, Meng Tianqi was not completely dead, but he was close to it.

If he had used the last hiding place, the millstone of life and death, to launch an attack, he would have been confident of killing another demon, but he did not do so.

He has already made his choice regarding the greater good, and he believes that at this point, the rest can be left to the others in the Star Sea World. Now he needs to fight for himself!
He wanted to use this last precious bit of time to comprehend and integrate the laws of life and death!
This millstone of life and death cannot last long. Within this time, he must ensure that he reaches a level where he can survive in the laws of life and death for a long time. Only in this way can he have the chance to be reborn!

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, because Meng Tianqi was already completely obsessed!
"So this is the true law of life and death!"

Meng Tianqi's last consciousness was hidden in this void, fully experiencing the joy of being in harmony and intertwined with the Great Dao.
All the doubts and questions that had troubled him for countless years were now suddenly clear!
"I see. I see!"

It feels so good to have this confusion dispelled and to have my past pursuits fulfilled.

Although when the power of the Wheel of Life and Death can no longer withstand the erosion of the Law of Life and Death, that will be the time when he is completely integrated with the Law of Life and Death and perishes.

But isn't this exactly what he's always wanted to try?

Ironically, his obsessive state was also the best way to save himself. Without proper control over the laws of life and death, it would be absolutely impossible to resist the erosion of the Great Dao.

As time passed, the space where Meng Tianqi hid within the millstone of life and death grew smaller and smaller.
Gradually, it finally began to give way and completely collapsed.
In an instant, the power of the laws surrounding Meng Tianqi surged, forcing him to control his consciousness and merge it into the laws of life and death.
The moment Meng Tianqi's consciousness merged with the laws of life and death, he felt as if he had entered a dream palace, where everything was familiar and beloved to him, and what he had pursued with all his life.

But at the same time, this temple is twisting wildly, and his favorite things are constantly impacting and devouring him!

At this moment, Meng Tianqi was like a lone boat in a raging tsunami, incredibly small and helpless, with no one but himself who could help him.

This was the first time Meng Tianqi had truly witnessed the laws of life and death, which were far more powerful and vast than he had imagined. He had previously thought that he had a good grasp of the laws of life and death, but now it seemed so ridiculous.

He is still far from truly mastering the power of the laws of life and death!
"What a charming place! It's a pity I'll never have the chance to see it again."

Meng Tianqi never stopped trying to understand and explore, but as his consciousness gradually became blurred and weak, he knew he didn't have much time left!

In the end, he overestimated himself and underestimated the laws of life and death!
No wonder it is said that only in the Fusion stage can the power of the Great Dao Laws truly begin; before the Fusion stage, it is nothing more than a minor skirmish!
"Well, at least I was able to truly glimpse this Great Dao Palace before I die, so this trip wasn't in vain!"

As his consciousness began to fade completely, Meng Tianqi finally let out a final sigh.

There was helplessness, satisfaction, and a hint of regret that the mission was not yet completed.

On his deathbed, Meng Tianqi thought of the Star Sea World, which had undergone a dramatic transformation under Qi Ping's guidance, and a sense of inexplicable peace and relief appeared in his mind.

This world may not stay rotten forever; perhaps one day it will see the light of day.
After that last thought flashed through his mind, Meng Tianqi completely lost the ability to think. His understanding of the laws of life and death was being devoured by them like a hungry wolf.
However, at this most critical moment, an unimaginable power of creation descended upon Meng Tianqi's consciousness, which was about to completely dissipate.
