You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

"Is this... the original bloodline power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast? Or is it after its awakening?"

Feeling the power of this contract from his animal companion, Qi Ping was immediately shocked!

This is definitely not a power that Qinghe herself should possess. Only Qinghe's parents, the little azure dragons, could achieve this kind of pure bloodline power.
"The Azure Dragon Sacred Beast's exclusive power, the Dragon Pearl, is still the pure, primordial bloodline power that evades the law power that obliterates all Mahayana stage cultivators."

"Did Qinghe's parents already know that the rule that would annihilate all Mahayana-stage beings and objects in the Star Sea World would appear? And also?"

"Qinghe actually awakened the exclusive holy power of the Azure Dragon Beast so quickly, and even sacrificed the dragon pearl left by her parents to me through her bloodline talent."

Qi Ping quickly grasped the cause and effect of this power.

At that moment, he felt both gratified and moved.

He hadn't expected Qinghe to have such high potential and comprehension. Most importantly, she possessed the rarest quality of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast clan, which was one of the most fundamental factors determining the strength of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast clan's bloodline.

What was even more unexpected was that Qinghe would sacrifice a sacred object of the Dragon Ball level without hesitation. After all, Qinghe hadn't been with him for very long, although he had indeed treated Qinghe quite well.

But the Dragon Balls are sacred objects that even cultivators at the Mahayana stage would go crazy for!
Furthermore, Qi Ping also realized that the immortal who annihilated all the Mahayana cultivators in the Star Sea World was definitely not a coincidence, and there must be a deeper entanglement and grudge behind it. This is probably something he will have to face in the future, and it may also be the reason why his Druid inheritance space cheat appeared.

However, he didn't have much time to think about these things at the moment. The most important thing right now was to use this power to deal with the terrifyingly strong black dragon in front of him!

Having understood the cause and effect of the matter, Qi Ping stopped thinking about it and focused all his attention back on the life-or-death battle at hand!
Under the power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast's primordial bloodline, Qi Ping's depleted primordial energy was rapidly restored.

The body, which had been forcibly reattached countless times, was also rapidly healed at this moment!
Even the burns on his body that had never been able to heal were beginning to recover, and the black demonic flames that Qi Ping had been unable to suppress even with all his strength were now gradually extinguishing.

The Azure Dragon Sacred Beast's power was terrifying. This wasn't because Qi Ping's Myriad Manifestations Druid power was weak, but rather because the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast's primordial bloodline power was too pure and strong.
Furthermore, the healing effect on injuries is merely a byproduct of this primordial bloodline power. The true effect of this power lies in the transformation of the physical body and the awakening of talents. Otherwise, if it were only for healing purposes, the Dragon Balls would not be worthy of being called a sacred medicine.

Therefore, under the influence of the Dragon Ball's power, Qi Ping's fighting strength increased rapidly!

However, while Qi Ping was happy, the dragon that fought him to the death was not!

"Dry!"

"The bloodline power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, and at this level no less! ********!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the black dragon immediately began to curse!
This was the first time Qi Ping had understood the words of the black dragon since the start of the war.

It's no wonder it was in a bad mood; it hadn't fought such a difficult battle in so many years, and one of its consciousnesses was almost completely burned away.
More importantly, the outcome of this battle is of paramount importance. If they can obtain the Immortal Key and the Power of the Imperial Path, and if they can also extract a trace of the Flowing Gold Creation, one of the Four Mysteries, this trip will definitely be incredibly lucrative!

However, if we lose, the demon fodder below will suffer heavy losses.

And that's not all. If the demon cubs are lost, they can just spend more time finding the coordinates of a few more worlds to devour and slowly recover. Maybe they can even mutate into some new demons.

However, the loss of a fragment is incalculable. You must know that at this stage, every resource of this level is extremely precious, and the resources that give birth to a fragment are among the most precious!
The battle, which had a relatively high probability of being won, was completely disrupted at this moment.

As one section of its tail was once again shattered by Qi Ping wielding the Mountain and River Seal, the black dragon finally began to show signs of defeat!
Its injuries healed more and more slowly, and the ferocity of its attacks gradually decreased.

In contrast, Qi Ping fought even more fiercely as his injuries healed rapidly!
Even more terrifying is that an astonishing power is brewing within Qi Ping.

It naturally knew that the power of the Dragon Balls would give birth to a powerful talent in the human before it. If it were its original body, it would naturally not be afraid, but now it only had a wisp of consciousness left that was about to burn out!

As the new power within Qi Ping was about to be fully formed, the black dragon grew increasingly agitated. It felt wronged; how could a mere human possess such extraordinary opportunities and power?

First it was the power of the imperial way, then the gilded creation, and now the power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast's Dragon Pearl—when will this ever end? It might not have lost even if it were missing just one link!

As the transformation ended, a surge of life energy that even the black dragon found terrifying swept across the sky!

Immediately afterwards, as a ghostly green light enveloped it, it felt its life force being frantically drained, while the human opposite it was recovering from its injuries and gaining momentum at an even faster pace!
"Life drain!" the black dragon gritted its teeth and roared.

He was naturally familiar with this level of power; he had fought against terrifying creatures skilled in life-draining before, and after a difficult battle, he had successfully killed one.

But things are different now. It was already close to exhaustion and was fighting Qi Ping with great difficulty. How could it have more strength to resist the power that life draws from it?
The black dragon's mentality collapsed, and Qi Ping naturally felt great.

Just as the black dragon had judged, he had indeed awakened the talent of life absorption, but it was not just life absorption!
It's not about absorbing life and reviving life!

He can use the life force he absorbs to revive another living being. This talent not only has terrifying destructive power, but also super healing ability. It is one of the power forms that are awakened after reaching an extremely high level in the Way of Wood.

As one of the representatives of the power of the Wood element, it is not surprising that the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast can awaken such power. As a life-saving sacred beast that represents revival and protection, it also possesses terrifying destructive power!

"I don't care if you're some supreme being or an ancient power from a demon's lair, just die!"

At this moment, Qi Ping's heart was filled with boundless killing intent!
He had waited too long for this moment. He had never experienced such immense pressure and such despair in a battle. His physical body was forced into a deep sleep, and his consciousness was likely to be shattered and unable to awaken. The entire battle was an extreme experience of pain and torment.
Thankfully, we made it through!
He wielded the Mountain and River Seal and smashed it wildly at the black dragon. With his frenzied attack, the black dragon's scales kept exploding, and its flesh became a blurry mess, unable to heal itself due to the power of the Mountain and River!

The black dragon's blood dripped onto the ground, blasting out craters wider than ten thousand feet, creating an apocalyptic scene that highlighted the dragon's tragic decline, a stark contrast to its godlike appearance when it first descended.
"The Demon Lord... is he about to be defeated?"

"How is this possible?" "This is the Supreme Lord!"

Seeing the black dragon being brutally beaten by Qi Ping, its scales shattered and blood gushing out, the entire demon race of the Demon Realm was stunned!
This was a scene they had never dared to imagine, because influenced by their bloodline memories, they wouldn't even consider the possibility of the black dragon's failure.
But now this scene has actually happened, no matter how unwilling they are to believe it.

It was obvious to any discerning eye that the black dragon had exhausted all its tricks and its defeat was only a matter of time.

But how could the Supreme Demon Lord be defeated?
That's the supreme demon lord!
Although these demonic beings had never known of the Supreme Demon Lord's existence before, their awakened inherited memories, as members of the demonic race, made them more aware than anyone else of the Supreme Demon Lord's power and terror.

The thought of killing them was merely a fleeting one.

Especially those demons in the Void Refinement and Body Integration stages, because of their high positions and control over the upper echelons of the demon realm, were even more aware of how powerful this supreme demon lord was.

From that terrifying, godlike aura, one could tell that he was an absolute powerhouse who surpassed everything. Yet, such a powerhouse was defeated!
Witnessing the tragic defeat of the black dragon left almost all the demons on the battlefield stunned, their beliefs began to crumble violently, and even their bloodlines showed signs of collapse!

In contrast to the disbelief and shock of the demons, the people of the Star Sea World were completely excited!

"Lord Star Emperor is going to win!"

"The black dragon has been crushed!"

"The Star Emperor is mighty!"

At this moment, almost everyone was incredibly excited, and some even felt an urge to cry tears of joy.

That was truly heartbreaking and despairing!
The black dragon's godlike aura and oppressive power, coupled with Qi Ping's incredibly difficult and agonizing battle, made them acutely aware of the hardship and pressure involved, especially after their own hellish struggle.
In particular, Qi Ping's battle not only represented personal victory or defeat, but also carried the fate and hope of the entire Star Sea World.

The previous battles were already so difficult; now, an even more terrifying and bloody final battle is about to begin. If the Star Emperor is defeated, what will happen in the subsequent battles? What good will it do to defeat those demons of the same realm? Who can withstand that black demonic dragon, which is like a god?

If Qi Ping loses, then the entire Star Sea World may be without hope. Family, home, everything they cherish, and even themselves may fall into an abyss of darkness!

Fortunately, Qi Ping is about to win!

As Qi Ping smashed the black dragon's body to pieces once again, the emotions of almost every citizen of the Star Sea were unleashed at that moment.
It's been so difficult. But finally, I see a glimmer of hope!

"Fight!"

"Even the strongest being in the Demon Realm is about to be defeated!"

"Starry Sea World can win!"

As the black dragon gradually fell, everyone's fighting spirit soared once again.

As long as we can win, nothing else matters; all the previous sacrifices are worthwhile. What I fear most is fighting a battle that has no meaning or hope.

Although they would choose to fight to the last drop of blood no matter what, the feeling of having hope and not having hope is different. As long as there is hope, even sacrifice is worthwhile. The Star Emperor will definitely ensure that his family receives the best protection and resources!
However, Qi Ping, who was fighting on the other side, was unaware of the emotional changes of the people of the Star Sea World and the beings of the Demon Realm. He was caught in a fierce battle and dared not be distracted in the slightest. He would not allow any factor that might affect his victory to lead to failure.
For the sake of his homeland and his future path to immortality, he absolutely cannot lose this battle!
Therefore, he would not be distracted in the slightest before the black dragon was completely dead!
Fortunately, after Qinghe sacrificed her Dragon Ball, the scales of victory have completely tipped in his favor!

With Qi Ping relentlessly unleashing his attacks, the black dragon's body was completely blasted apart by the terrifying onslaught of the Mountain and River Seal, leaving only its lone forelegs, unable to regenerate in any way!

Blood and flesh were scattered, and the earth collapsed into a perilous and desperate place.
Soon, a corner of the black dragon's head was blasted off, one eye exploded, and even one of its horns disappeared completely!

Then his chin was smashed apart, and his front legs were gone.
Under Qi Ping's frenzied slaughter and arduous bombardment, the black dragon was finally reduced to a half-destroyed head.
At this moment, the Black Dragon had completely lost any chance of turning the tide!

If it weren't for the protection of its last remaining head by the power of consciousness, it would probably have been completely blown to pieces by now!

However, it's only a matter of time before consciousness is completely blasted and crushed.
"Humanity, you have won!"

After experiencing extreme anger and exhausting all his resources, the black dragon finally accepted the fact that all his plans would be ruined, suffering heavy losses!

Qi Ping, however, showed no reaction to the black dragon's telepathic communication for the first time, focusing solely on wielding the Mountain and River Seal to unleash devastation. After all, what was the point of communication? Killing the dragon was the only real goal; falling into its trap would only cause more trouble.
The black dragon showed no surprise or anger at Qi Ping, who remained silent and only focused on relentless attacks; it had already witnessed Qi Ping's fighting spirit.
But.
"Although I lost, it doesn't mean you won," the black dragon's eerie voice suddenly rang out.

These words made Qi Ping's heart skip a beat, but he showed no reaction on the surface, and his hands continued to move.

The black dragon's voice remained eerily calm.
"I know this won't affect you, and I don't expect to turn the tide. Now I just want to ask you one question."

"If you win, but end up as a commander without troops, with all the soldiers who fought alongside you to the death dead, can you accept that outcome?"

"Now that you're all alone, what makes you think you can call yourself emperor? Heh heh heh!!!"

"My demon brethren, let my blood be your guide, go berserk, and slaughter all the enemies before you!"

As the black dragon's final words faded, its entire head suddenly burst into incredibly violent black flames!
Then it transformed into countless black lights and vanished without a trace.
The black dragon perished completely at this moment!

However, throughout the entire battlefield, all the demons, from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, went berserk without exception. The vanished black flames slowly rose again in the eyes of every single demon! (End of Chapter)
