A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 456: Chapter 384: Becoming a Demon (Part 2)

Now, the only thought in the Ancient God’s mind is to seek the breakthrough of the Ancient Immortal’s body and complete this destined final battle with Demon Blade Baili Yun!

In an instant, countless past insights frantically surfaced in his mind at this moment, and a path of Body Refining he had always been afraid to try before also emerged in his mind.

This is the cultivation method with the highest mortality rate in his line, using extreme decay to facilitate the most extreme rebirth, reorganizing through Soldier Resolution, each success would unleash the body’s utmost power!

Now, this is the first time since the Ancient God’s rise to fame that the Ancient Immortal’s body has been beaten to such a wretched state, but this precisely aligns with the mental realm of decay.

"Reviving in decay, I understand, hahaha... Come... Ancient Immortal, Soldier Resolution!"

In an instant, the Ancient God’s body and Divine Soul shattered explosively, a terrifying energy shook the heavens!

The array formed by seventeen people violently trembled at this moment, cracks appeared, and blood spewed from the mouths of many, their bodies cracking under the immense pressure.

Yet this was only for a moment, for in the next instant, the array rapidly recovered, and their injuries healed at an astonishing speed as well.

Even so, this was astonishing enough, considering each of them was the strongest leader of their faction, and even though their strength hadn’t reached Void Refining, they could temporarily unleash such power with Secret Treasures and Secret Techniques, enhanced to an unprecedented level by Qi Ping’s array.

In such circumstances, for the Ancient God to still unleash power of this magnitude was truly breathtaking!

However, this was not the end; the shattered body of the Ancient God instantly reformed, then emitted boundless golden light, the blood burning like a blazing sun within!

Then the energy of the Ancient God’s entire being concentrated onto his right fist in an instant, an energy like the sun converging on his right fist, the strong oppressive feeling enveloping the world!

It could be said that this punch from the Ancient God carried a power and will strong enough to shatter heaven and earth!

A punch, shocking the universe!

The emergence of this punch instantly formed an extreme contrast with Baili Yun’s sky-cutting blade shadow that tore through the heavens!

At this moment, countless people, even in distant battles with Huang Daoxing and Qi Ping, sensed the extreme power between these two forces in the world.

Undoubtedly, this was a duel worthy of being recorded in the annals of history!

"Ancient Immortal... Extreme Fist!"

As the punch formed, a voice full of immense ease resonated through the heavens.

"Baili Yun, a battle to the death!" the Ancient God roared.

Then the Ancient God charged towards the sky with that annihilating punch, as if to smash the whole sky!

"As you wish!"

Baili Yun’s gaze remained clear, yet his voice carried an uncontainable excitement!

Then Baili Yun’s Sword Intent instantly erupted towards the sky, the shadow of the colossal blade immediately cleaving down, followed by the immediate condensation of the law blade!

Suddenly, it mysteriously transformed into the size of an ordinary blade, yet its power increased instead of diminishing with extreme condensation!

The terrifying power seemed enough to crush the entire world, the mere aftermath causing countless cracks in the earth!

In the next moment, the two forces of extreme power collided!

In an instant, the whole realm fell into an eerie silence, as if the terrifying power momentarily evaded the influence of the time law!

But after the silence came a force impact fiercer than a mountain collapsing or a sea surge by countless times!

The horrifically terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions!

Everything passing by—the cultivators, trees, even mountains and rivers—was swept away, shattered, reduced to dust!

The sixteen cultivators besides Baili Yun were also sent flying back like rag dolls!

Fortunately, they had already employed defensive measures, and with the array’s deflection, they didn’t suffer severe injuries, merely sustaining significant internal damage: spitting some blood, bodies tearing open in several places...

As long as no power remained, this was not a major issue for Divinity Transformation Cultivators, only a short while before their injuries substantially healed.

Yet they looked to the unclear central battleground, eyes full of shock.

Although Baili Yun bolstered their strength, reaching this level was more than they had expected.

Just relying on this move from the two was enough to compete for top experts of the Star Sea Continent!

Incredible!

Especially the Ancient God’s last breakthrough in battle; the word ’astonishing’ was insufficient to describe it.

Such a performance undoubtedly lived up to the title of the first Body Cultivator in the Star Sea Continent.

"Did we win?"

At this moment, they even felt a bit unsure; the Ancient God’s defiance in a decayed state was utterly astounding.

And after this move, the commotion at the center of the battlefield vanished...

Only after a long time, when the aftershocks subsided a bit, did everyone clearly see the central battlefield scene.

A black figure holding the Demon Blade half-knelt in the battlefield center, body covered in countless cracks like ceramic, dense golden Law Power lingering on it...

The Demon Blade too was split open with several hideous cracks, a few drops of utterly lifeless golden blood lingering on it...

In front of this black figure, a corpse devoid of life lay scattered; under the ravaging Sword Intent, the fragmented body lost its original form, with only faint traces revealing it was once the first Body Cultivator of the Star Sea Continent... the Ancient God!

This first Body Cultivator revered the victor’s glory, and pursued goals at any cost, yet in the end, he completely perished, becoming an outright loser, leaving only the blazing fist intent in the world as evidence of his existence in this Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Demon Blade Baili Yun looked at the lifeless Ancient God corpse with an inexplicable gaze, a tinge of regret arising in his heart.

Although the final battle determined life and death, the array’s enhancement and the Ancient God’s rushed breakthrough contributed to the outcome; in a fair fight, the result might have been different.

Yet regret is regret; Baili Yun felt no remorse.

For Baili Yun, his Demon Blade was more than just a blade—it’s also demon, embodying more—the loved ones, home, and his most cherished and upheld values along the way.

This layer of ’demon’ was his essence, and he would not sacrifice his life for a thrilling fight, as his pursuit wasn’t solely battle itself.

At this moment, Baili Yun transformed his regret into another form of power, letting his Demon Intent rise once more, eyes becoming clearer.

Then Baili Yun shook off the blood on the blade, slowly stood up.

As he rose, the blade of Sword Intent and Demonic Qi surged anew, and the cracks on his body began to slowly repair under the flowing Demonic Qi, as did the fractured Demon Blade.

This Demon Blade had accompanied him since embarking on the Path of Cultivation, having shattered countless times along the way but, without exception, mended and transformed stronger under the influence of battle!

Soon after the battle ended, Qi Ping and Meng Tianqi, dragging Huang Daoxing, emerged from the spatial channel.

Compared to the Ancient God, Huang Daoxing’s death was much more humiliating, his corpse’s expression filled with terror and resentment.

"Alas..."

Seeing the Ancient God’s corpse, Qi Ping couldn’t help but sigh.

He had watched clearly; without a doubt, this first Body Cultivator of the Star Sea Continent was a figure enough to dazzle an era—it’s a pity he stood on the opposing side; otherwise, he could have become a great guardian of the Star Sea Continent.

Differing paths couldn’t lead to working together; such a life-and-death scenario was unchangeable.

Yet Qi Ping saw Baili Yun’s surging presence after slaying Ancient God and felt that Ancient God’s death might not be a bad thing for the Star Sea Continent, for it forged a stronger Demon Blade...
