A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 467: Chapter 390: Fury

With the death of the Earth Deity and the complete annihilation of all traitors at the Star Sea Alliance Headquarters, this abruptly initiated civil war has essentially declared victory.

This battle essentially killed all known high-level cultivators who had defected to the Celestial Dragon Continent, and all the Void Refining level traitors have perished.

Now, the only ones left are the forces with only low-level cultivators.

After the victory, Qi Ping swiftly collected all the spiritual mechanisms and bodies from the cultivators, sealing all the essence within them.

After completing all of this, Qi Ping turned his gaze towards the extremely excited Meng Tianqi, Baili Yun, and others.

At this moment, they were looking at Qi Ping with eyes full of admiration, as if they were looking at a deity.

"Senior Feng, we won!"

Baili Yun laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about maintaining the dignity of a strong person, the free-spirited nature of practicing the Demonic Dao manifested at this moment.

"Senior Feng is truly prescient, in this battle we overcame strength with weakness without any damage at all, it’s simply miraculous!"

This battle did not dye the entire world with blood or shockingly ravage the whole Star Sea Continent; instead, it began suddenly and ended quickly, so much so that many cultivators probably do not yet know the battle even took place.

But precisely because of this, it is the most remarkable!

Triumphing over strength with weakness and at such a minimal cost managed to preserve the vital forces of the Star Sea Continent to the greatest extent, preserving the true foundation of the Star Sea Continent.

The phrase "The best fighters have no impressive feats" is very aptly used to describe the current situation.

The biggest loss might be the sacrifice of several incredibly gifted top-tier cultivators, like the first Body Cultivator Ancient God, the most talented Body and Technique Dual Cultivator Bai Yuan, and the deeply hidden master of earth manipulation Earth Deity... If these people had been on their side, they could have added significant force to the battle.

But alas, the Star Sea Continent, long untested by external enemies, simply couldn’t unite like a single rope, and that’s the price that had to be paid.

Yet, in exchange, they now have a Star Sea Continent free of all obstacles and thoroughly united, which is indeed worth it no matter how you look at it.

Another pleasant surprise is that, through the baptism of this battle, most of their eighteen members have made considerable breakthroughs.

Especially he and Baili Yun, it seemed almost as if they were born for this war.

At this moment, both he and Baili Yun had strong confidence that, in the not-too-distant future, they would surpass all others, with one person alone being enough to fill the strategic gap this battle caused!

"Mighty Senior Feng!"

"With Senior Feng here, we can certainly protect the Star Sea Continent!"

"With Senior Feng leading us, a prosperous era is in sight!"

...

Praises echoed one after another, all coming from the most top-tier cultivators in the current Star Sea Continent.

What is more astounding is that these seemingly flattering words showed no trace of insincerity when spoken, as they were uttered from the bottom of their hearts.

The result of this battle was truly astonishing!

It was a scenario they never even dared to dream of achieving.

And as Qi Ping listened to their praises, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy. To allow these top-tier cultivators of the Star Sea Continent to willingly bow before him was indeed a singular achievement in its recorded history.

However, Qi Ping did not claim all the credit but smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need for this; the achievement of this battle was earned by all of us risking our lives, not just my doing. Without your trust and assistance, at best, I could have retreated to the Qingtian Realm..."

As Qi Ping spoke, sincerity filled his eyes, for these words were genuinely from his heart.

His gaze swept across the eighteen people before him, noting their blood-stained magical robes and bodies repeatedly wounded and healed, and the fatigue that couldn’t be hidden deep in their eyes. His heart was inevitably moved.

This battle appeared to be a grand victory, but it was not easy for anyone; it was attained by fighting for their lives.

"Since we have resolved for a fight, there’s no need for too much formality. In the future, each of you, fellow Daoists, can enjoy the favor of the mountains and fortunes in the Qingtian Realm, and during your Thunder Tribulations, I will fully protect the law for you!"

"Nonetheless, this battle has not truly ended. Behind these cultivators we just eradicated are powerful sects, and now we must hurry to eliminate them to prevent significant turmoil and avoid harming too much of our foundation... Let’s swiftly clear away all unstable factors first!"

"Thank you, Senior Feng, we are willing to continue fighting alongside you!"

...

In the time that followed, after deliberating with Meng Tianqi and others, Qi Ping immediately decided to divide the troops into two routes.

One team was led by Qi Ping with Demon Blade Baili Yun, forming the most mobile team.

The other team was led by Meng Tianqi along with the other sixteen individuals.

The reason for this was that the subsequent task of eliminating the remaining forces was also a troublesome affair.

Although the top experts of these forces have already perished, their sects themselves still possess strong foundations, and those long-accumulated trump cards of ancient heritage are definitely not easily dealt with.

It can be said that if these remaining forces are willing to act, they can almost instantly turn the regions where their forces reside into rivers of blood!

Or utterly devastate the regions’ Earth Veins and Spirit Veins.

Such costs are ones that Qi Ping and others are absolutely unwilling to bear. Having already lost many top-tier experts, the Star Sea Continent cannot afford to lose so many foundational cultivators again; that would truly be a heavy blow.
