You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

"Damn it! A madman! A madman! He's a complete madman!"

When the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile learned that Baili Yun had merged with the True Demon Realm, the entire demon was in a bad mood.

Last time, that True Demon Realm cultivator in the Mahayana stage slaughtered most of the demon race with the Dao Integration technique, and almost wiped out his own world, turning the entire world into a land rampant with demonic energy. In the end, he himself was assimilated and devoured by the laws of the Great Dao, becoming the resources for the growth of the laws.

And now another one has appeared!
Although the True Demon Realm cultivator in front of us is only at the Integration Stage, this is not a matter of the Integration Stage at all, but rather the True Demon Realm!
Once you reach the True Demon Realm, you can merge with the energy of heaven and earth in a True Demon state while preserving a part of your own obsession, and complete a long period of slaughter.

Moreover, once this fusion is completed, the physical body, soul, and Dao fruit of a True Demon Realm cultivator will all be integrated into a part of the Great Dao. Under such circumstances, the constraints of the realm itself will be greatly reduced, and what can truly support combat power is the "qi" of this world that can be transformed into demonic nature!
And what is this place? An ancient battlefield!

The sheer amount of resentment here has manifested into monsters at the Nascent Soul stage, which shows just how terrifying this region truly is.

Most importantly, the True Demon Realm in this state is the most difficult to kill. One thought can turn one into a demon, and the demonic nature of heaven and earth will arise spontaneously. As long as a wisp of demonic nature remains, one can quickly recover. It's outrageous!

This is the terror of the true demonic realm.
"Judging from the current situation, we would need to unite with at least a few top-tier Saint Demons to have any chance of completely annihilating this guy."

True demon realm cultivators are not invincible, but the difficulty is exceptionally high. Moreover, only those who are proficient in the Dao of Annihilation of Divine Soul and True Spirit can annihilate all demonic nature. For example, the Thousand-Eyed Giant Demon at the Integration Stage is a very suitable target.

The key problem is that it can't find any reinforcements right now!

It has lived for countless years, and its strongest points are only its physical body and defense. It is not good at the way of soul attack. Even the full-force attack of the True Demon Realm cultivator just now only cut off a few thorns on its blood shell.

"Damn it!"

The Xuanwu Demon Crocodile looked at Baili Yun, who had recovered again, and a trace of despair flashed in its eyes.
Its terrifying power could have annihilated Baili Yun countless times, yet it knew it couldn't kill its opponent, and that death would be its final fate if nothing unexpected happened.

"cluck"

After recovering, Baili Yun suddenly let out a strange and perverse laugh.

It twisted and stretched its newly formed body, seemingly enjoying the stimulating sensation. It was wonderful!

However, upon seeing the demonic blade behind it shatter into countless fragments, a hint of dissatisfaction and anger flashed across its face. Immediately, it raised one hand, and in an instant, the demonic energy of heaven and earth surged violently. Countless demonic energies rushed into the demonic blade, using a special power to condense the demonic blade into one.
But something even more astonishing happened: the demonic blades that had been fused together suddenly developed countless cracks, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch. But in reality, with just a slight movement, they cut a huge gash in the world, and their power increased by more than one level compared to before!
Moreover, under Baili Yun's mental control, the Demon Blade shattered and fused again and again!

Furthermore, their shape and size continue to change, each fragment resembling an incredibly precise piece that can be assembled into any shape one desires.

At that moment, Baili Yun seemed to have discovered a fun toy. But before he could play with it for long, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's snake head bit him again, and an astonishing illusion of terror swept across the heavens and earth!

Under this terrifying power, a vast expanse of heaven and earth instantly collapsed, and the earth turned into dust. An endless surge of destructive power!
Baili Yun was also destroyed once again by this force.
"do you died?"

After expending its power to obliterate Baili Yun, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile seemed somewhat exhausted, clearly indicating that its attack had taken a great toll on it.

It completely disregarded its own terrifying energy expenditure, instead unleashing wave after wave of attacks, continuously annihilating everything around it.
It stared intently at its surroundings, utterly uncertain whether it could kill a True Demon Realm cultivator in this state. It simply unleashed all its power. The power of a Saint Demon in the Integration Stage was terrifying enough; a vast expanse of heaven and earth, and the battlefield, were instantly annihilated into nothingness.
Even so, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile was still worried that it had absolutely no confidence.

It certainly didn't want its accumulated strength of countless years to perish here.
But things didn't go as he wished. In the place where the destructive power was spreading, a wisp of demonic energy suddenly lit up, like a flame in the darkness.

The moment this wisp of demonic energy ignited, it was like a spark igniting a prairie fire. Instantly, countless demonic energies surged forth amidst the destruction. Like fish in water, they used the power of destruction as fuel, becoming even more vigorous.

This glimmer of demonic light instantly filled the heart of the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile with darkness.

"I'm not reconciled!" it roared inwardly.

But no one responded to its resentment; the only response was a terrifying demonic blade that instantly transformed from countless fragments, carrying an extremely eerie and demonic nature as it slashed down!

Under this terrifying strike, several cracks actually appeared on the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's blood shell!
But these few cracks made the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile even more terrified, because Baili Yun's attack was even stronger!
Moreover, with its defense, it could easily withstand attacks from late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. In the entire Demon Realm, there are few Holy Demons whose defense is higher than itss.

Although its injuries could heal, it knew it was all in vain.

What is despair? It's knowing everything, having the power to resist, yet being unable to change the final outcome, and being forced to watch helplessly as you approach death.
This was a feeling it had never experienced before, because in the past it had been the object of despair!

With its terrifying defenses and extreme attacks, how many can survive its attacks?
But now the roles have been reversed!
Baili Yun's subsequent terrifying attack proved that Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's guess was correct. Reborn from annihilation, Baili Yun became even more frenzied and unrestrained, displaying true demonic power in every move. Every move he made caused the heavens and earth to tremble with demonic energy.
In this state, an incredibly fierce battle unfolded! Heaven and earth collapsed, mountains and rivers turned to nothingness, and the battle between the two sides destroyed countless places. The fighting was so intense that the sky darkened and nothingness was visible everywhere!

The Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's wounds healed and were destroyed again, destroyed and healed again. By the end, its body was covered with countless pieces of its own flesh and blood, and its entire body had become deformed, as if it were a collection of irregular fragments.

The entire snake's head was twisted and deformed from the slaughter.
On the other hand, Baili Yun grew stronger with each kill, and the destructive power of each of his strikes was greater than before. The only cost was that Baili Yun's autonomy was also decreasing.

When Baili Yun's autonomy drops to zero, that will be the day he completely disappears, becoming nourishment for the laws of the Great Dao.

Even the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile could sense Baili Yun's fluctuating strength and autonomy, clearly indicating that Baili Yun was making a final struggle.
"It seems maintaining demonic nature in the ancient battlefield is quite difficult. Is it possible to give up? It appears the Fusion stage is ultimately a bit too weak."

Upon noticing Baili Yun's condition, the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile felt a surge of schadenfreude.
"Why bother? As a demonic cultivator from the True Demon Realm, few can kill you if you so choose. Why not live a good life? You can always choose to join another cultivation world."

But soon a sense of sorrow arose in its heart, because Baili Yun's autonomy was gradually weakening, yet it still seemed capable of killing it.
Baili Yun quickly responded with an unprecedented Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade strike from the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile. A fragment of the demon blade bypassed the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile's strongest defenses and converged on its weak points.
As the power of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade erupted, the already deformed and enormous body of the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile was instantly disintegrated.
No one knows how much time passed, how many mountains and rivers were destroyed, but the battle finally ended. From that endless land of destructive storms emerged a figure carrying a shattered demonic blade. And that endless land of destruction was left with only withered fragments.

However, after leaving this place, the figure suddenly paused, as if he didn't know where to go, and his body became even more ethereal. Invisible shackles of the Great Dao bound his body, suppressing Baili Yun's independent consciousness.

Under the pull of this force, Baili Yun's body began to slowly disintegrate.
If this continues, Baili Yun will soon transform into a Daoist and disappear.
"No!"

Just as Baili Yun was about to dissipate, a ferocious yet incredibly determined face emerged from a fragment of the demonic sword on Baili Yun's back!

As one face emerged, fragment after fragment appeared, revealing Baili Yun's face in succession!

Soon, countless faces appeared on the entire demonic blade.
On that face covered with countless marks were memories of Baili Yun's life, his understanding of the Dao, and his obsession with cultivating demonic arts and forging swords throughout his life.

That was his final struggle against himself, a gamble against the Great Dao.

He intends to use himself as bait, merge with the power of the Great Dao Laws, and borrow the power of a realm to arm himself.

If you lose, your entire Dao Fruit will be devoured by the laws of the Great Dao, you will lose the chance to reincarnate, and you will never be able to be reborn!

If they win, they will slay countless demons and holy demons, securing a crucial victory for the Star Sea World! Then they will vanish into nothingness.
And a slim chance to attain the Great Dao, devour and control the laws that enter the game, and from then on, his cultivation and understanding will skyrocket, making him a true demon realm cultivator capable of destroying the world. However, judging from his current state, this is obviously a pipe dream, because he has only killed a few holy demons and is already almost unable to hold on.

The battle with the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile, in particular, destroyed his physical body too many times. With each destruction, his autonomy diminished.
After the battle, he had to resort to the trump card he had hidden in the Demon Blade.

This demonic blade has been with him since he slew his enemies and embarked on the path of cultivation. It has witnessed his bloody battles and bittersweet experiences, and recorded all his memories. Therefore, he incorporated his most crucial true spirit and demonic nature into it, just so that he could break the shackles of the Great Dao when he was about to be devoured and transformed into the Dao.

Baili Yun didn't know how many times he could keep up with this action.
Just as the countless faces appeared on the demonic blade, an invisible demonic power erupted, instantly disintegrating the entire blade and transforming it into countless sharp blades that slashed towards the shackles of the Great Dao.
Beneath those fragments of demonic blades, the shackles of the Great Dao binding Baili Yun's body instantly broke and shattered, and his body, which was about to dissipate, solidified once again!

After all this was done, Baili Yun's face instantly fell silent.
Having lost the shackles of the Great Dao, Baili Yun seemed to have returned to his previous state and continued to roam the battlefield. The price of this was a significant reduction in the spirituality of the Demon Blade.
One battle ends, and another quickly begins.
Moreover, as the Holy Demons he encountered grew stronger, and he faced more than just one at a time, Baili Yun's battles became increasingly difficult. In the midst of constant destruction and death, he gained more autonomy, and the shackles of the Great Dao wrapped around his body also increased.

His every strike grew stronger, and his movements became faster, but he gradually became mechanical, losing the agility and individuality of Baili Yun.

However, this effect was also extremely terrifying. One after another, Saint Demons at the Integration Stage died at Baili Yun's hands and were completely devoured by the laws of the Great Dao.
In the end, nearly half of the Saints and Demons in the entire world who had reached the Fusion stage died!
This terrifying mortality rate terrified the Holy Demons of the Demon Clan, causing them to gather together.

Little did they know that Baili Yun had finally given up, and his final strike had failed to sever the shackles of the Great Dao.
"Did you lose?"

A final sigh emanated from the fragments of Baili Yun's demonic blade.
On those fragments of the demonic blade, Baili Yun's face, filled with regret, appeared. He looked at the unmoving shackles of the Great Dao, his heart filled with remorse.

The power of heaven and earth is not so easily borrowed.
However, being able to slay so many holy demons should be something to be proud of.

The only pity is that he ultimately failed to protect the world node of this battlefield, and the enemy's world node was not destroyed either.
So what if the True Demon Realm is rare throughout history? In the end, it still cannot withstand the power of the Great Dao's laws.
At this moment, Baili Yun finally felt the immense power of heaven and earth, which was something that human beings could not easily shake.

"Starry Sea World. I apologize to Old Emperor Meng! In the end, I was powerless to turn the tide."

"Lord Star Emperor, you cannot lose! Let me use all my Dao Fruits to help you with your last bit of strength!"

With that final sigh, a strange smile appeared on Baili Yun's face. Devouring him wouldn't be so easy!
Immediately afterwards, Baili Yun unleashed his last bit of willpower, transforming into a true demon to control his physical body, and then instantly sacrificed all his power!
As this sacrificial power unfolded, a demonic blade, with unparalleled strength, shattered the void and merged into Qi Ping's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. (End of Chapter)
