You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 467 Hunter and Prey. The deal's been made!
"Is he dead? Oh well!"

"This is the world after death, but shouldn't true spirits enter the cycle of reincarnation? If I can still enter the cycle of reincarnation..."

With his last regrets, Meng Tianqi was gradually assimilated into a state of blurred consciousness, on the verge of death, when he discovered that his consciousness had miraculously returned.

Meng Tianqi already knew that in his current state, there was no way to reverse the situation, so he should be dead.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"Huh? That's not right. How come I'm still within the laws of life and death!?"

"And, has my consciousness returned?"

Meng Tianqi was shocked as he felt his consciousness gradually recover and strengthen. He never thought he could recover, because it was almost impossible.

"Unless it's the power of creation!"

"really!"

Feeling the power emerging in his consciousness, Meng Tianqi instantly understood.

The only thing that could restore his consciousness was that mysterious and incomparable power of creation!
Although he had never seen such power before, it did not prevent him from recognizing it, especially since his understanding of the laws had reached this level, and his knowledge of the various mysterious forces in the world was becoming increasingly profound.

As that mysterious power of creation surged into his consciousness, and into the location where he was about to perish, the power that had been dissipated by the millstone of life and death began to slowly condense.

Even more miraculously, this special millstone of life and death, formed by Meng Tianqi's sacrifice and subsequent absorption of a large number of Void Refinement stage demons, actually regained the taste of flesh and soul under the influence of the power of creation.

"What is this? My flesh and soul are starting to coalesce again?"

Feeling that power so closely connected to him, Meng Tianqi was utterly shocked!

After experiencing the feeling of losing both soul and body, Meng Tianqi truly understood what it felt like to have a body and soul. They were the foundation of a cultivator; losing them meant becoming like a bubble in the ocean, easily crushed by any wave.

And now, his physical body has finally returned!
"And it seems they've not only returned, but they've become even stronger!"

Meng Tianqi knew his former physical body all too well; his highest talent was only a superior wood-attribute spiritual root and a top-grade yin spiritual root.

This talent might be good for ordinary cultivators, but for Void Refinement cultivators, it's practically the worst among all Void Refinement cultivators in the Star Sea World.

The reason he was able to rise step by step was because he obtained a fragment of the Life and Death Seal in his youth, and with his understanding of life and death, he embarked on the rare path of life and death.

However, that fragment of the Life and Death Seal was nothing special; it was merely an item for those at the Nascent Soul stage. After he became a Nascent Soul cultivator, it lost all its function.

What truly enabled Meng Tianqi to rise step by step was his extremely high comprehension and absolute focus, as well as his unwavering Dao heart.

The way of life and death can only be mastered by experiencing life and death and having reverence for life and death. Ordinary cultivators can't even touch the threshold of it.

It was precisely because of this quality that Meng Tianqi rose to prominence and became a legend who single-handedly rewrote the history of a region.

Sweep away all enemies and overturn the darkness that hangs over our heads.

In some ways, Meng Tianqi's legendary status is no less than Qi Ping's achievements in the Azure Sky Domain, and perhaps even more difficult.

But now, Meng Tianqi felt that his body had completely changed!
The spiritual roots are still the original wood-attribute spiritual roots and yin-attribute spiritual roots, but they have both reached the level of heavenly-grade spiritual roots!
Moreover, what was even more exaggerated was the change in his physique. An aura that was extremely compatible with the laws of life and death emanated from that new body, which also possessed extreme vitality and pressure. This powerful physique seemed to be somewhat similar to those of the Void Refining Demon Clan.

The only difference is that this physical body has no demonic aura at all, but has been honed and shaped by the power of life and death.

"What kind of constitution is this?"

Meng Tianqi was now completely shocked.

Although he had never seen such a physique before, he was certain that the powerful aura emanating from it was no less than that of most of the special physiques he had ever seen, and he even estimated that it was comparable to the most outstanding ones he had ever seen!
He never imagined that one day he could possess a body so perfectly suited to his path of cultivation!
But now he has not only been resurrected from the brink of death, but has also gained a powerful body that he never dared to dream of!
Just as Meng Tianqi's physical body was reshaped, his consciousness felt a powerful suction force, and he followed the suction force back into his body without hesitation.

After Meng Tianqi returned to his body, an incredibly powerful feeling instantly shocked him.

"This force."

The ultimate foundation and the ultimate compatibility with one's own path of cultivation!
The moment Meng Tianqi opened his eyes, an extremely terrifying pressure swept across the heavens and earth, as if a god who controls life and death had awakened!

A powerful law of life and death spontaneously emerged in every corner of the surrounding space.

A phenomenon of resonance with the laws!

This was a law phenomenon that only cultivators at the Integration Stage could master, but now it was directly under Meng Tianqi's control!
Although his experience with the laws of life and death did not grant him the power to roam freely within them, it still represented a significant leap forward in his understanding of them.
"The Realm of Life and Death: The Endless Millstone!"

With Meng Tianqi's will, the power that he had previously unleashed by sacrificing his physical body and soul could now be easily unleashed with his will, and its power seemed to be stronger and its control had also improved a lot.

However, the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy. In just the instant it is activated, the spiritual power in Meng Tianqi's body is released like a dam breaking. At this rate, a single move will probably consume more than half of his power, and his physical body will also suffer huge and irreparable damage.

This is clearly not a forbidden spell that a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage could master.

"But it's not bad! The physical shackles that once bound me have been completely removed, and now a broad road lies before me!"

At this moment, Meng Tianqi's Integration Stage was within reach!

However, he didn't do that. Instead, he summoned the Void Fish again, preparing to storm the Void Refinement stage battlefield as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once he successfully broke through to the Integration stage, he would be teleported to the Integration stage battlefield by the Realm Battlefield, at which point the Void Refinement stage battlefield would be completely defeated!

"Battlefield Star Emperor of the Fusion Stage, Old Qi, wait for me! I'm coming right away!"

Thinking back to the glimpses of those Nascent Soul stage Saint Demons he had seen from afar before the Realm Battlefield opened, Meng Tianqi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
That's a power that's absolutely incomparable to what they can achieve at this stage.

If Baili Yun hadn't achieved the True Demon Realm and could be resurrected simply by preserving a trace of demonic nature, they would never have dared to let him step into the battlefield of the Integration Stage.

Because once you step inside, the inevitable end is utter annihilation. It's a battlefield that even nightmares and hell cannot adequately describe. There's no room for any accidents. The battlefield, with its Saint-Demon cultivators at the Integration Stage, was one they had already decided to temporarily abandon, reserving it for a future conflict based in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea.
Thinking of the terror of those Nascent Soul stage Saint Demons, Meng Tianqi's heart grew even more anxious. There was no time to lose; he had to finish this quickly!

We didn't have enough strength before, but now that we have the opportunity, we can't just sit idly by.

In order to survive in the Star Sea World with its world coordinates exposed, it is necessary to ensure that everyone survives as much as possible. Therefore, Meng Tianqi has made up his mind to sweep through the Void Refining Battlefield as quickly as possible, while using the Law of Life and Death to devour enough power to break through to the Integration Stage as soon as possible.

These demons are now his best resource in terms of life and death; the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed!
With Meng Tianqi reborn and his physical body undergoing a tremendous transformation, the Void Refining Battlefield was no longer a question for him.

There were no demons on the battlefield who could threaten him, unless a handful of king-level demons surrounded him, but that was absolutely impossible. Although this demon race was extraordinary, it was impossible for them to have so many king-level beings.

And that was indeed the case. After Meng Tianqi broke through, the Wheel of Life and Death was unleashed, and all the demons he encountered were crushed by the Wheel of Life and Death, and then instantly transformed into Meng Tianqi's power.

This is actually one of the advantages that cultivators have over demons.

Because demons don't have any cultivation aptitude; they only possess the ability to devour and have bloodlines.

The demon's lair in the demon realm will give birth to countless demons, and these demons will grow stronger by frantically devouring their own kind or anything that invades the world.

During the process of devouring, under the influence of the demon bloodline, they will develop different innate supernatural abilities and physical bodies based on the power they devour.

Some powerful bodies and strengths can be fixed in the Demon Nest, and newly born demons have a high probability of awakening this powerful power. This powerful power is also the power that they solidified by devouring countless races and then carefully selecting the best.

Some powers have never appeared before, and these are related to the power of devouring. For example, if the demons devour a world and race that are good at using the power of the sun, they may give birth to sun-related innate abilities.

Especially after completely conquering a world and devouring all its spirituality, a new demon race and new terrifying talents and supernatural abilities will most likely be born in the demon's lair.

However, it is precisely because of this reason and the way they become stronger that the demon race rarely experiences the vast difference in realm and understanding of laws that humans do.

For example, Meng Tianqi, at the Refining Void Realm, achieved the Law Resonance that only the Integration Realm can possess!

Once faced with such an enemy that surpasses the limits, the demon race will be at a great disadvantage in the realm battlefield, unless a terrifying being with supernatural power comparable to the Integration Stage also appears in this battlefield, but the possibility of this is extremely low, much lower than the probability of a cultivator being born that surpasses the limits of their realm.

Even if they do appear, they will most likely appear in the Holy Demon Battlefield at the Integration Stage. The Integration Stage and the Great Ascension Stage are the most terrifying foundation of the Demon Race, containing terrifying Demon Race members that would make the entire heavens tremble! There are many powerful Demon Race members at the Refinement Stage, but they are far from representing the entire Demon Race.

The cultivation world is a terrifying existence that can only be born from countless years of accumulated civilization and knowledge, coupled with special talents. It is also a unique advantage of the cultivation world civilization, a limit that is passed down from generation to generation.

In the other two realm battlefields, after the little stone spirit killed the Black Hole Demon God, the subsequent battles were no longer in suspense. Soon, it gradually killed many demons, and with the death of the demons, the world nodes belonging to the demon realm gradually emerged.

At this point, the outcome was already predetermined, and the world node of the Demon Realm was soon broken by the little stone spirit.

A battlefield for refining the void has finally achieved a complete victory!

However, Ji Qingyue encountered trouble again on the battlefield.

After hiding away and cultivating in a secluded place to fully recover from her injuries, Ji Qingyue began her path of slaughter under the influence of the Myriad Laws Flowing Domain.

Originally, with the help of the Myriad Laws Flowing Wine technique, she could have remained hidden until the end of the Realm Battlefield, but she did not do so.

If we're talking about survival, she's already lived long enough. The two times she almost lost control of her power and went into demonic possession were because of her attachment to life and death.

When they were still low-level cultivators, they wanted to pursue immortality. But after they actually gained a long lifespan, they realized that without a strong Dao heart to support them, they would eventually collapse and suffer from demonic possession. There are far too many examples of this in the cultivation world.

Only after truly experiencing it will you know how boring living a long life can be, and sometimes death is a relief.

Only a strong enough Dao heart and a strong enough obsession with the path of cultivation can support a cultivator to continue on the path and constantly break through the limits.

Ji Qingyue was once the most talented Void Refinement cultivator on the Star Sea Continent, but the stability of her Dao Heart was almost the lowest, a problem that had troubled her for countless years.

But now she is different. She has a strong enough obsession and a clear enough goal, which is the foundation for her unstoppable progress on the path of cultivation.

For her, simply surviving meant absolutely nothing.

"Sweeping across the entire Void Refining Realm battlefield is only the first step for me to return to the Star Sea World. If I can't even do this one step, then forget about anything else."

"The Starry Sea World also gave me the incredibly powerful physique of the Myriad Laws Immortal Body, which is rare in the world, but it also caused me to waste and bewilder countless years in the Void Refinement stage. Perhaps it was all for this day."

"It's time to return to the world."

Ji Qingyue suddenly had an epiphany. This might be the first step in her journey to enlightenment and the Dao, rather than relying on her superior aptitude to advance rapidly. Physical constitution has its limits; only a powerful true spirit can steer the physical body, this colossal ship, through the endless, towering waves.
It was for this reason that even though Ji Qingyue had found the path to fusion, she still chose to risk fighting.

At first, her killing spree went fairly smoothly. With the almost flawless nature of her Myriad Laws Immortal Body, she swept through all the demons she encountered. Until she met a strange demon composed of blue lines, a terrifying and deadly crisis she had never experienced before suddenly arose in Ji Qingyue's heart!
