Chapter 470 Let's go completely mad! True Demon State!
"The Void Refinement level battlefield... we actually won so spectacularly!"

Upon receiving the battle report, Lin Yue was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

He suppressed his intense emotions with his cultivation, just so as not to show his vulnerable side in front of his subordinates.

Heaven knows how much effort he put into managing the entire Nine Domains of the Star Sea. From the Qingtian Domain, which was left with only a mess, to later, with Qi Ping's support, from organizing and managing the team to ensuring that almost every system and policy in the Qingtian Domain was implemented perfectly, the amount of things that needed to be dealt with was unimaginable. During the busiest period, he hardly had any time to rest and relied on pills to get through it.

Later, the Azure Sky Domain and the surrounding eight domains were merged into the Nine Domains of the Star Sea. Lin Yue, who had finally had a little free time, had to put on his armor again. The number of things he needed to deal with increased exponentially. Fortunately, with the experience of building the Azure Sky Domain and the gradually maturing management team, the Nine Domains of the Star Sea developed rapidly to where they are today.

The operating mechanism of a cultivation civilization is very complex and difficult to manage. If a problem occurs in one link or someone interferes, the entire Nine Realms of the Star Sea could quickly become a mess.

All of this is the result of his painstaking efforts to build a civilized cultivation society... There is no absolute monopoly on cultivation techniques and resources... There is no arbitrary suppression and oppression of lower-level cultivators by higher-level cultivators... A relatively fair distribution mechanism... Everything can be obtained through strength and hard work...

Here, you can take a simple job and laze around cultivating, living a relaxed and leisurely life... or you can work hard to cultivate, or carry out dangerous missions to earn resources... or you can try to provide suggestions and methods for the construction of the Nine Realms of the Star Sea, or research technology... or you can even exchange your contributions for spiritual objects that can change your aptitude...

Today, the entire civilization of society aims to use the collective power to research and develop technologies and civilized production methods that will completely liberate the productive forces of the cultivation world... and how to increase the concentration and prosperity of spiritual energy throughout the cultivation world...

One day, these technologies and unique resources might even be used to open up markets across the myriad realms... Lin Yue had seen in some materials that the myriad realms had special trade routes and merchants from all over the world... but the Star Sea World didn't... Perhaps there were trading points set up nearby, but after its decline, no one knew the trading locations of the myriad realm trade routes...

The Star Emperor also told him that one day the Star Sea World would open up the market of the entire universe in a unique way!
This is the Star Emperor's hope, and he also hopes to see this day... This is a future he is willing to give his life to pursue!

He was willing to give everything to follow the Star Emperor in doing such things... even his cultivation... even his own path to immortality!

In order to build the Nine Realms of the Star Sea, Lin Yue had actually neglected his cultivation a lot... If it weren't for the abundant resources provided by Qi Ping, his cultivation level would have been far surpassed by others long ago.

Including this war in the Star Sea World, his contribution to the entire war was among the top, but he didn't enjoy any of the power of creation... because only those who participated in the interdimensional battlefield could receive it...

However, for Lin Yue, this was merely a pity. But as long as he could achieve final victory and allow the world he had poured so much effort into to survive and prosper, then it would all be worth it.

"As long as the Star Emperor exists... then that world that only exists in dreams... has a chance to become a reality!"

"Now, as long as we don't suffer a crushing defeat on the battlefield during the Integration Stage, and with the Nine Domains of the Star Sea as our last bastion, there is hope for victory in this war. The Nine Domains of the Star Sea may even be able to use this war to reach a new level..."

Currently, apart from the unknown battlefield of the Integration Stage, the Qi Refining Stage and the Void Refining Stage have both achieved absolute victories. Although the victory in the Qi Refining Stage battlefield was achieved by sacrificing lives, magical artifacts, and talismans, the victory in the Void Refining Stage was a genuine and overwhelming triumph. As a result, the Star Sea World has also gained three absolute Void Refining Kings, two of whom are qualified to break through to the Integration Stage at any time!

Although the other battlefields suffered heavy casualties, the defeats were not too devastating. Some victories and defeats were evenly matched. Most importantly, they also gave birth to a number of invincible super kings in their respective realms... such as Tianxin Shura Wanghe, Qi Ping's Thunder Tribulation Immortal Bamboo, Sister Nan's Blood Yu Demon Insect, and the Demon Doctor Chang Qing... almost every one of them is a being with near-monstrous strength!

With these people as the foundation and spark of the Star Sea world, and with the Nine Realms of the Star Sea as the last bastion, the dawn of hope has already broken!

The only thing that's still uncertain is the battleground of the Fusion Stage...

Not long ago, Qi Ping's main body entered a state of dormancy, and Baili Yun, who had achieved the True Demon Realm Integration Stage, had not sent back any messages from the beginning... Now, any information about the Integration Stage battlefield has become a mystery!
However, the battlefield during the Integration Stage is precisely the most important. The importance of Star Emperor Qi Ping to the Star Sea World is self-evident. As the only Integration Stage cultivator in the Star Sea World, and also a cultivator from the Ancient and Modern True Demon Realm, Baili Yun absolutely cannot afford any mistakes...

As the two strongest combatants in the Star Sea World, their safety should have been the least of their worries. However, they were facing an unknown number of demons at the Integration Stage!

It should be noted that almost every Saint Demon in the Integration Stage is one of the most terrifying monsters in the Demon Realm, with incredibly strong physical bodies, vitality, combat methods, and innate supernatural abilities... Some of them are even at the late or peak of the Integration Stage. Faced with these enemies, Lin Yue or anyone else simply cannot imagine what methods Qi Ping and Baili Yun would use to win this battle...

Even in the fleeting moment before the boundary battlefield opened, one could sense the terror of those holy demons... They were beings whose mere presence was enough to suppress an entire world...

……

The battlefield of the Fusion Stage...

On the shattered earth, immortal bones wither and immortal weapons decay...

The entire world was devoid of life, all things decayed and withered, leaving only the murderous aura and endless resentment forming killing souls... These killing souls had no consciousness, but a few of them possessed the strength of the Integration Stage!
This is actually a special battlefield left over from ancient times...

At this moment, on this desolate battlefield, a solitary figure shrouded in demonic energy is walking alone.

A large, black sword, stained with countless drops of blood, was tucked onto his back, with drops of red and green liquid sliding down its blade, as if it had just slain something...

However, what was terrifying was that even the residual force of the blood dripping from the blade's tip blasted deep craters into the solid battlefield, and the blood itself continued to slide into the ground as if there was no end in sight...

The power of a single drop of blood can be so immense!
One can only imagine how terrifying the figure that killed the blood's owner must have been!
This eerie, demonic figure seemed to have lost all consciousness, merely moving swiftly across the battlefield, as if searching for something. Simultaneously, it frantically absorbed the surrounding resentment and killing intent, transforming them into the purest, most extreme demonic power!
However, these resentments and murderous intents seem extremely violent, making them not only extremely difficult to transform, but also exceptionally difficult to control as pure demonic power after transformation.

They surrounded the figure carrying the sword, forming a power even more terrifying than the figure itself!

It seems that this is why the aura of the figure carrying the sword is extremely unstable, like an uncontrollable super beast that would tear apart anything that gets close to him!
The figure carrying the sword traveled through this ancient battlefield for an unknown amount of time, moving at an incredible speed that could even shatter space itself. He then frantically traversed the battlefield until he encountered another equally terrifying figure!

It was a terrifying figure, eight thousand feet tall, resembling a tortoise. Its entire body was encased in a ferocious, blood-red shell that contained boundless pressure. Above the shell were barbs comparable to divine weapons, and the sharp aura it exuded seemed to be no less than that of divine weapons and immortal artifacts.
However, the most chilling feature was the jet-black snake head. A row of ferocious fangs was covered with a strange liquid that had corroded the earth, creating countless giant pits. Red dots, capable of plunging ordinary cultivators into illusions, also emanated from the snake's head.
With just a single breath, it unleashed a powerful storm, causing even space itself to shatter violently.
This is a Saint Demon of the Demon Race in the late stage of the Fusion Realm!
Xuanwu Demon Crocodile!

Legend has it that this being was born from the demonic tide of the demon race devouring the corpse of Xuanwu, one of the Four Sacred Beasts. It not only possesses the terrifying defense and earth-shattering power of Xuanwu, but also the bloodthirstiness and eeriness of the demon race. This is a terrifying demonic holy demon that makes countless Nascent Soul stage cultivators tremble in fear!
Aside from being slightly slower, it is top-tier in attack, defense, and recovery!
An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would only have one choice upon encountering such a being: either turn tail and run, or die.
However, upon seeing this terrifying demon saint, the figure carrying the sword did not hesitate at all. Instead, he became excited as if he had seen something alluring, and then charged forward with even more astonishing speed!
"How brave!"

"It's been so many years since I've encountered such a reckless cultivator!"

When the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile saw Baili Yun, who was only the size of an ant, daring to charge at it, it almost laughed out of anger.

It simply couldn't be bothered to move because the combined battlefield was too vast and its own actions and battles consumed too much energy. It just wanted to wait until it conquered this world and then divide up a portion of the world's origin.

Now, even though he didn't intend to do anything, an ant has come knocking on his door.

It looks quite impressive, but can it be broken through?
It couldn't even remember the last time its defenses were breached, because that time was far, far too long—so long that even a Saint Demon at the Integration Stage could barely recall it.
“I really miss it.”

However, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's calm state did not last long before its eyes, which were full of doubt, suddenly turned into fear!

Because the moment Baili Yun approached it, a terrifying demonic blade powerful enough to cleave the heavens and earth instantly took shape!

Most terrifyingly, this demonic blade was connected to the grand forces of heaven and earth of this ancient battlefield, with countless killing intents and resentments converging upon Baili Yun's demonic blade.
As the demonic blade that made heaven and earth tremble took shape, it struck its body with unstoppable force.
Then the blood-red light that had just risen on the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile was immediately shattered, and countless blood-shell thorns broke off instantly!

The intense pain that shot through the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's head instantly enraged it.

In an instant, its terrifying and ferocious head flashed, and the next moment, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's mouth bit down on Baili Yun with an unavoidable speed!
Immediately afterwards, the Xuanwu Crocodile unleashed its supernatural power. The terrifying destructive power was instantly detonated by the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile!
Under the force of this violent power, Baili Yun's body instantly exploded, and countless fragments of his body turned into nothingness under the power of the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile.
"He's a mere ant with some skill, but that's all he is!"

"It's a pity we overestimated this ant's defenses, otherwise it could have been a good snack!"

A hint of regret flashed across the face of the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile.

This is also why it did not choose to actively hunt Baili Yun; such an ant is not worth its trouble.

And do you really think it's slow? It's just that the energy consumption of moving at high speed is too great.

However, before the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile could rejoice for long, a familiar figure re-emerged under the power of the boundary battlefield!

Immediately afterwards, a strange laugh came from Baili Yun's mouth.
"He's not dead?"

A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile. Its attack had clearly annihilated all of Baili Yun's true spirit. It had also killed many Nascent Soul stage cultivators with this attack. Those who could not escape or defend themselves were basically all dead.

But now Baili Yun has actually been resurrected?
"No. Is he connected to this world, to the killing intent and energy here?"

At this moment, even the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile, who had lived for countless years and seen all sorts of strange things, was completely stunned that someone could actually merge with the energy of the ancient battlefield.

If the difficulty of a cultivator reaching the Dao stage during the Integration stage is already as difficult as ascending to heaven, then the difficulty of Baili Yun's current compatibility with the aura of the ancient battlefield is a whole level higher!
"how is this possible?"

The Xuanwu Demon Crocodile was filled with disbelief.

Upon noticing Baili Yun's state, a sense of fear involuntarily arose in its heart.

It knew all too well how terrifying this ancient battlefield was!
And soon, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile also found the memory of Baili Yun's state in its vast memory: "It's the True Demon Realm!"

"He actually managed to harmonize with the energy of this battlefield in his True Demon Realm state? But he just broke through to the Integration Stage, how dare he do this?"

In the memories of the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile, a demon clan that was stronger than them also seemed to have encountered a cultivator in the True Demon Realm. That cultivator, having completely merged with the Dao in the True Demon state on his homeland, actually reversed the situation and severely injured the demon clan!
However, after that True Demon Realm cultivator repelled the demon race, he never awoke again. After slaughtering his own world, he was completely assimilated and devoured by the Great Dao.
"Damn it, he's insane! Isn't he afraid he'll never wake up again?"
