You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

At this moment, Qi Ping donned a truly awakened imperial armor and possessed a demonic blade powerful enough to cleave the heavens and destroy the earth, but his attention was not on himself...

The awakening of this Imperial Armor and the appearance of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade both stemmed from tragedy... from the deaths of countless Starsea citizens...

More importantly, Qi Ping sensed Baili Yun's aura within the Demon Blade...!
"It contains the true, pure demonic power of Baili Yun!"

"And this demonic blade was forged from Fellow Daoist Baili's natal spiritual weapon, physical body, and all his Dao fruits... It also incorporates a terrifying power... It contains the laws of the Great Dao... and the aura of an ancient battlefield... Therefore, the power contained in this demonic blade has almost reached the limit of the Integration Stage..."

"So it is precisely because of this that Fellow Daoist Baili, who should have perished, still retains a trace of true spirit and demonic nature within him... In that case, if this trace of true spirit is nurtured and strengthened, Fellow Daoist Baili may not be without a chance of resurrection!"

Upon realizing this possibility, Qi Ping immediately became excited!

Baili Yun still has a chance to be resurrected!

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and all living beings... nurtures the true spirit!"

Upon discovering this possibility, Qi Ping immediately manipulated the gentlest power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, carefully protecting that wisp of demonic true spirit layer by layer, while simultaneously imprinting Baili Yun's Great Dao mark onto the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade...

Only after setting up protective barriers and nurturing formations as much as possible did Qi Ping breathe a sigh of relief...

Seeing the wisp of true spirit demonic nature that had grown stronger, a smile appeared in Qi Ping's eyes... At this moment, he could finally be completely certain that Baili Yun had hope of being resurrected!
"Hahaha, good good!"

"Fellow Daoist Baili, I will definitely bring you back to the light of day!"

Because Baili Yun had a chance to be resurrected, Qi Ping's grief lessened somewhat, and he was able to focus more on his newly transformed Imperial Armor and the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade that Baili Yun had become...

"So this is the true power of the Imperial Armor... The previous armor was merely bestowed upon me by the people of the Star Sea, or rather, it forcibly enhanced my power, rather than something I cultivated and comprehended..."

Ultimately, he was a selfish person who was afraid of death, wanted to survive by slowly growing stronger, and only wanted a high-level spiritual field of his own to quietly cultivate and become stronger.

If it weren't for the subsequent external threats he faced, and the wanton destruction of the Druids' foundation—the power of nature—by some scoundrels, he wouldn't have even chosen to emerge from seclusion...

However, as a druid, he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the natural world; otherwise, without the power of the druid, he could forget about the foundation of his path to immortality...

And so, slowly, swept up by the tide of events, he rose step by step to the position of Lord of the Azure Sky Domain and then to the co-ruled Emperor of the Star Sea... but all of this was initially for the sake of making the Druids stronger, for himself... and perhaps also for a sliver of a desire to make the world a better place...

How could such a selfish person possibly comprehend the power of the imperial way?

Qi Ping obtained the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but in essence, he was just a child who obtained a divine weapon!
But as he walked this path... Qi Ping watched the world gradually improve under his guidance and actions... He watched Lin Yue, Wang He, Meng Tianqi, Baili Yun, and others struggle tirelessly for a seemingly unrealistic goal...

Watching ordinary cultivators and non-cultivators alike enjoy unprecedented peace under his protection... watching geniuses gradually shine in their respective fields...

They were laughing... praising Qi Ping, the unprecedented leader of the Star Sea World... They dedicated all their loyalty and faith to Qi Ping...

Gradually, without realizing it, Qi Ping was also slowly changed in this process. He didn't even realize it himself, but his goal gradually became more than just increasing his druidic power...

In this life-or-death battle between the Star Sea World and the Demon Realm, Qi Ping looked at his friends who fought to the death for him... looked at the people who fought for the Star Sea World... looked at the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade transformed from the Dao Fruit sacrificed by Baili Yun... he finally truly realized the changes within himself...

That was a heart yearning for imperial rule that had gradually emerged without anyone knowing when...

It was at this moment that he truly comprehended the imperial power attached to him… “Imperial Armor!”

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings... evolves from the power of all living beings. I am the Emperor of All Living Beings in the Star Sea World, and behind me stand the living beings of the Star Sea World... Their power is my power..."

"And now, this imperial power is another realm for me... This realm is an alternative path of cultivation... In other words, besides my own cultivation level, I now possess an imperial cultivation foundation equivalent to the late stage of the Integration Realm..."

"This Imperial Path Immortal Cultivation Foundation possesses its own power and supernatural abilities, and can also enhance any supernatural power I comprehend..."

"My cultivation level is still a near-perfect Nascent Soul foundation, but I now possess a Royal Path Immortal Cultivation foundation that is equivalent to the late-stage Integration Realm!"

"I see!"

After digesting the information about the Imperial Armor in his mind, Qi Ping finally understood what the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was!

This is the foundation for his cultivation bestowed upon him by the people of the Star Sea World, a special foundation jointly formed by the people of the Star Sea World!

At this moment, Qi Ping saw information about the Imperial Armor appear on his attribute panel:
[Imperial Armor: Late Stage of Fusion]

[Cultivation Realm: Late Nascent Soul Stage]

"And this Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade..."

"It turns out that after Fellow Daoist Baili merged with the Dao, he seized the power of the Great Dao Laws and the ancient battlefield... and thus transformed into a late-stage Dao Soldier with special spirituality and life..."

"Besides its Heaven-Slaying characteristic, it also possesses the power to devour demons and grow stronger?"

"Does that mean that if I let the Demon Blade devour more Nascent Soul stage demons, Fellow Daoist Baili's spirituality can recover faster?"

"good very good!"

At this moment, Qi Ping fully understood his own power and had greater confidence in killing more Nascent Soul stage demons.

Because neither the Imperial Armor nor the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade possesses power that ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can have; it is a magnificent power that is at an absolutely high level!

This is the source of Qi Ping's confidence in being able to kill more Saint Demons at the Integration Stage...

"You demon bastards... it's time for you to pay the price for the people of the Star Sea World..."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Qi Ping immediately tore through the void and stepped out!

But he soon stopped again, because a piece of information he had never expected appeared...

[The fourth Druid class has been triggered... Royal Druid!]
