You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

"Trying to devour me? Not so easy!"

After realizing that he was about to be devoured by the laws of the Great Dao, Baili Yun did not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

Rather than letting his Dao Fruits be devoured, he would rather sacrifice them to Qi Ping, the Star Emperor, so that Qi Ping could wipe out all the demons for him!

Moreover, only Qi Ping's Great Dao can bear his sacrifice.

This was discovered by Baili Yun after he advanced to the True Demon Realm of the Integration Stage and saw Qi Ping's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for the first time. Qi Ping's Great Dao could actually contain the thoughts of true spirits!

He even sensed his own mark within Qi Ping's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He didn't know that this was because his growing faith and trust in Qi Ping had made him a follower of Qi Ping's faith, and his existence had become a part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

In addition, Baili Yun's successful attainment of the True Demon Realm of the Integration Stage was also a core factor that enabled Qi Ping's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to break through to the Integration Stage.

This is also why Baili Yun was able to sense Qi Ping's imprint on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Perhaps it was the existence of this mark, coupled with the unique nature of cultivators in the True Demon Realm, that made this sacrifice possible.

The moment Baili Yun initiated the sacrifice, the laws of the Great Dao erupted violently. At this moment, Baili Yun's actions were like snatching food from a tiger's mouth!
Even more terrifying shackles of the Great Dao appeared on Baili Yun's body.

However, Baili Yun's true spirit did not completely dissipate at this moment. In the end, his power transformed into countless demonic blades and slashed at the Great Dao shackles around him once again. The terrifying demonic nature and the will to slay the heavens caused the Great Dao shackles to tremble incessantly after hitting them, and even cracked open and froze in the void.

In the instant the shackles of the Great Dao came to a standstill, Baili Yun's Dao Fruit broke through the void in an unusual and strange way, disappearing without a trace from this world.

When Baili Yun's Dao Fruit reappeared, it once again tore through the void and descended upon the area where Qi Ping was.
However, after Baili Yun left that realm battlefield, the world node of the Star Sea World was completely exposed and was instantly sensed by the Saint Demon in the Integration Stage.

At this moment, many of the surviving Nascent Soul stage Saint Demons showed expressions of relief.

At this moment, they already knew that Baili Yun was in the Dao Integration state of the True Demon Realm, and they also knew that he had been killing like a madman on the battlefield of the realm. Even the Xuanwu Demon Crocodile, which was known as the demon with the highest defense, had fallen at Baili Yun's hands.

This naturally made these noble and powerful demons tremble with fear. They were invaders, ferocious, but also afraid of death. They were naturally willing to sweep over ordinary cultivators and the cultivation world with unparalleled force, but when facing such legendary True Demon Realm cultivators, they would try not to risk their lives. After all, the opponent would eventually be assimilated and devoured by the laws of the Great Dao and would not be able to leave this battlefield.

Moreover, this madman finally vanished into thin air!

"Good death!"

"I really don't understand how such a rare existence could appear in a cultivation world that has declined to this extent?"

"We could wipe out similar worlds with a wave of our hand, instead of facing one troublesome opponent after another like this?"

"No wonder that Futuzi from Tianlong Continent came to us. If they hadn't promised that there were creation-level items here, and if Tianlong Continent hadn't been one of the most famous cultivation worlds recorded in ancient history, why would we have crossed the vast void to come here? Now it seems that this starry world really does hold a great secret!"

"Now it seems certain! Otherwise, given the current level of the Star Sea World, there shouldn't be so many variables appearing one after another."

"However, now that their True Demon Realm cultivator has fallen, and he was also the only Integration Stage cultivator, there should be no one who can stop the advance of our Emperor Blood Demon Realm!"

"It's just a pity for those fallen demon comrades. Now that they've returned, it's uncertain whether they'll even be able to be resurrected in the demon's lair. Even if they are lucky enough to be resurrected, who knows how many years later?"

However, while many demons in the battlefield were relieved that Baili Yun was dead, two other demons felt it was a pity.

They stopped when they sensed the appearance of the world node, and their faces showed regret.

"I was hoping to witness the legendary True Demon Realm. What a pity, I wonder if this infamous True Demon can withstand my suppression!"

Then, the instant the world node appeared, a wisp of gray demonic energy descended, and its boundless force instantly crushed the entire space, including the world node.
This battlefield of realms... the Star Sea World has been defeated!
Just as Baili Yun sacrificed himself and perished, and the world node of the Star Sea World was destroyed, Qi Ping immediately sensed Baili Yun's aura. "Fellow Daoist Baili!?"

As Qi Ping watched the Dao Fruit suddenly fly towards him, an overwhelming sadness welled up in his eyes...

In this battle, far too many people have died in the Star Sea World... Now, more than half of those participating in the interdimensional battlefield have perished...

Because the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and most of these people were Qi Ping's followers, he could clearly sense the fallen Star Sea citizens and warriors... The appearance and Dao attainment of each of them were clearly imprinted in Qi Ping's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and All Beings...

At this moment, their marks have faded one by one... completely losing all vitality...

And now, even Baili Yun's mark has faded... He was a True Demon Realm Integration cultivator, yet he has ended up like this!
Only after truly witnessing the terrifying combat power of the Demon Saints can one understand the horror of the interdimensional battlefield during the Integration Stage...

Not to mention Baili Yun, even he himself had nearly perished countless times, and had barely managed to escape on several occasions by risking his life.

He was only able to barely escape because he was proficient in the ways of space and could perfectly adapt to the battlefield of calamity.

As for defeating him, I don't have the current strength to do so.

Although he was blessed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which gave him power that only those in the Integration Stage possessed, he was ultimately no match for those powerful Saint Demons in the Integration Stage, and could only flee when he encountered them.

If Baili Yun perishes, he will be the only one left with the strength to fight at the Integration Stage.
Once the interdimensional battle ends, they will have no choice but to retreat to the Nine Realms of the Star Sea.
Therefore, when Qi Ping saw Baili Yun's Dao Fruit appear, looking at the lonely Dao Fruit, a deep sense of sorrow arose in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Baili."

Qi Ping clenched his fists tightly, and a terrifying power spread from them, stirring up the heavens and earth, just like the turbulent emotions in Qi Ping's heart.

He had thought he was mentally prepared for this outcome; it was a sacrifice that was destined to happen.

However, when those who believed in him disappeared and faded from the path of heaven and earth, his heart inevitably began to waver.

Now, this very Blade Demon, whom he now admires and who is the only cultivator to reach the Integration Stage in the Star Sea Continent in all these years, has also perished on this battlefield. He had only just broken through to the Integration Stage, and should have had a bright future ahead of him.
This made Qi Ping's emotions almost uncontrollable. Too many people had died, and they were mostly his followers and those who had fought alongside him from the beginning.
"Am I really wrong?"

Qi Ping even had a hint of doubt in his heart. If he hadn't become an Earth Immortal Druid, he wouldn't have attracted the revenge and extermination of the Heavenly Dragon Continent so quickly, and the Star Sea World could have survived for a long time.

However, Qi Ping quickly extinguished this sliver of doubt!

"It's not those people who deserve to die!"

If he hadn't become an Earth Immortal Druid, the Star Sea World would still be waging war against each other under the instigation of the Heavenly Dragon Continent, resulting in countless deaths and injuries every year, and the entire world would continue to decline under the constant harvesting.
With this group of people looming over us, suffering will not stop, tragedy will continue, and destruction is only a matter of time.
This was destined suffering, but things are different now; those people are no longer afraid!

They fear that this mysteriously appearing earth immortal might become the hope for the Star Sea World to break free from its shackles!
They feared that the final struggle of the Star Sea World would disrupt their countless years of planning!
"So the key now is not sacrifice, but that the sacrifice must be worthwhile!"

"I also want to have greater power to prevent this tragedy from happening!"

"I need even greater power!"

Never before had Qi Ping so desperately craved power, so desperately craved the ability to avenge his enemies, to protect the homeland he had painstakingly built, and the people who believed in him—not merely to eke out a living.
In fact, having grown to this point, he had long since lost the right to survive. At this moment, there was no remote place left to support him on his journey.
At the same time, at this moment, Qi Ping's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings seemed to resonate with his state of mind, and a warm golden light shone down on Qi Ping's trembling body.
Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented golden armor, imbued with the will of all living beings, was draped over Qi Ping's body.

If a knowledgeable person were to see this, they would recognize it as a manifestation of the Great Dao that only appeared on a true human emperor from ancient times. Moreover, it seems that Qi Ping's armor now displays not only the manifestation of a human emperor, but also various spirit beasts and spiritual trees imbued with astonishing spiritual power.
At that very moment, Baili Yun's Dao Fruit instantly merged into the golden armor, transforming into a demonic blade that was both jet black and golden. A heaven-slaying intent erupted from the demonic blade.
The terrifying aura even repelled the surrounding earth fire and lightning.
However, Qi Ping's greatest attention wasn't on the powerful armor at this moment, because he actually sensed a trace of Baili Yun's true demonic spirit within the Demon Blade. Although very weak, it was undeniably present! (End of Chapter)
