A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 524: Chapter 419: Bronze Flying Knife (Part 2)

"Finally, I’ve found items above the Integration Stage, but is this bronze flying knife really at the Mahayana Stage level? Or does it belong to a different system altogether?"

In Qi Ping’s perception, there’s something strange about this bronze flying knife.

However, after Qi Ping opened the strip of cloth covered in blood-stained writing, he finally glimpsed a hint of secrecy within.

This is an extraordinarily resilient piece of cloth, and the bloodstains on it are definitely human blood, moreover, it’s the blood of a human Mahayana Stage cultivator!

"The blood of a Mahayana Stage cultivator....but as for this text, I don’t recognize any of it...."

This left Qi Ping somewhat shocked.

After all, having studied extensive knowledge about the Star Sea Continent, Qi Ping was very familiar with various ancient scripts, and until now, he had never encountered any writing he couldn’t recognize.

This is the first time!

This immediately piqued Qi Ping’s interest.

This kind of unknown knowledge had an immense allure for him, and so he immediately started to explore it.

However, to be on the safe side, he opened this black square box away from the Seven-Colored Ancestral Vein, and used an array to seal off the surrounding space, and operated it using a Tree-man Avatar.

No matter when, keeping a low profile was his first principle.

Qi Ping studied the mysterious blood writing for quite a while, but couldn’t grasp its essence until he blended a drop of his own blood into it...

After Qi Ping turned one drop of his own blood into the power of Qi blood and merged it into the blood writing, an extremely dazzling blood glow surged up from the cloth.

Then, Qi Ping’s vision blurred, and a harrowing scene appeared before his eyes.

Or rather, his consciousness seemed to have arrived in a space imbued with the mysterious power of time, and in this space, Qi Ping saw a black shadow standing on an extremely prosperous world of life, its face and attire unclear.

The black shadow surveyed the world before it like a deity, as if observing ants, a school of fish.

In front of the black shadow, three Mahayana Stage auras soared into the sky, heading straight towards the black shadow!

The Mahayana Stage figures and power were extremely radiant, like a dazzling sword light wanting to shatter the darkness before them, each possessing the power to pierce the heavens!

The might of the Mahayana Stage was fully displayed.

Under the formidable pressure of the Mahayana Stage, even the power of the laws could be cleaved, and Qi Ping was astonished by this power.

"Is this the power that Mahayana Stage cultivators can unleash? So powerful!" Qi Ping marveled inwardly.

Such levels of power and control were currently beyond Qi Ping’s reach; the power he wielded now was merely manipulating the power of heaven and earth, not truly controlling it, and its form was vastly different from this intensely condensed and radiant power.

According to the records in the texts, Mahayana Stage cultivators were those who had taken one path to its ultimate, able to perfectly control a power of law, and this power of law was the key to breaking through the Immortal Gate.

However, even facing such a terrifying Mahayana Stage existence, the overlooking black shadow remained unperturbed and unflustered, merely raising its right arm, following which three black threads extended from the black shadow’s palm...

But clearly three black threads, yet after leaving the palm of the black shadow, they bizarrely proliferated at an incredible speed!

Within moments, they transformed into millions, countless black lines, rooting downwards into the world below, humans, spirit beasts, trees, the earth...even spiritual qi and laws!

It seemed there was nothing that couldn’t be rooted into!

Once the black threads completed their rooting, they suddenly grew taut!

As the black shadow’s uplifted right arm jerked backward, an incomparably crisp cracking sound was heard!

At the moment the cracking sound rang out, Qi Ping’s form shuddered violently as if threshing; every pore was gushing with blood, and even his divine soul trembled uncontrollably!

This crisp cracking sound was terrifying, as if every inch of skin and flesh, every strand of divine soul, consciousness, memory, and even the laws of heaven and earth were breaking apart!

This pain surpassed all the pain and terror Qi Ping had ever experienced!

And just as the crisp cracking sound echoed, an even more terrifying scene unfolded....

The previously dazzlingly radiant Mahayana Stage figure suddenly collapsed silently like a bubble, then vanished into nothingness in the blink of an eye, as if it never existed...

"The Mahayana Stage cultivator, just gone like that?"

Qi Ping’s eyes widened abruptly in shock!

That was a Mahayana Stage cultivator, dammit!

In all records, the Mahayana Stage cultivators were already standing at the pinnacle of existence! In the absence of the Immortal Path and Immortals, Mahayana Stage cultivators were the absolute peak, as was the case in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm!

But under those black lines, three Mahayana Stage cultivators bizarrely vanished in an instant, as if they never appeared in this world.

"This is so damn ridiculous!"

Yet it was not over, following the three Mahayana Stage cultivators, under the gaze of the black shadow, all the Mahayana Stage powers were weirdly extracted and then dissipated one by one!

This should have been invisible, yet for some reason, Qi Ping could see it!

And undoubtedly, the continent overlooked by the black shadow was, of course, the Star Sea Continent!

"Is this the reason why there’s no Mahayana Stage power in the Star Sea Continent?"

"Directly severing any power related to Mahayana Stage cultivators and erasing all traces of Mahayana Stage power, what exactly is this power?"

At this moment, a nameless fear rose in Qi Ping’s heart.

He believed that he had learned many methods of various powers in this world and thought that no matter what, he would have some means to deal with it, which was a kind of confidence in himself.

But just now, facing those bizarre black lines, all the powers he had cultivated seemed utterly useless; any attack, any defense, appeared ridiculously laughable before these black lines.

The only thing Qi Ping thought might have a chance was utilizing the power of the Earth Immortal Druids, suppressing such existences with the power of a part of heaven and earth.

Because Qi Ping could see, at the last moment when the thousands of black lines entered the Star Sea Continent, they were visibly suppressed; the strongest places in the earth veins seemed to effectively delay the black lines’ invasion.

Additionally, Qi Ping thought there might be a chance with the Five-Colored Immortal Light capable of annihilating all things, but he wasn’t sure whether those black lines were among the myriad things evolved from the Five Elements.

Aside from those, what truly frightened Qi Ping was just hearing that crisp sound; his avatar’s body far from his main body spat a large mouthful of fresh blood, with spiritual power inside also becoming chaotic and tumultuous.

Even the Lifebound Spirit Wood bonded with him through the Life Contract was greatly affected.

What made Qi Ping feel a bit reassured was that the True Spirit consciousness he had hidden and sealed seemed not to have been detected by this force.

This allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Having consecutively shattered his main body and Life Contract Spirit Tree avatar, and not knowing if his ability to resurrect using the power of the living would be affected, at least the True Spirit consciousness he had sealed remained unaffected, with the knowledge and power he controlled now, also not needing a cultivation realm to use prayer language, it would be enough to quickly make a comeback.

This proved that many of the backup plans he prepared were indeed useful.

In front of Qi Ping’s eyes, after unleashing the black lines, the black shadow’s own aura suddenly decreased, and the black energy around it dissipated greatly.

Meanwhile, an incredibly terrifying white divine punishment also struck out from the void after the black shadow unleashed the black lines!

This was the divine punishment from heaven and earth for actions defying the heavens, enough to annihilate even Mahayana Stage cultivators!

However, even faced with such terrifying white divine punishment, the black shadow remained unhurried, surrounded by a black hole formed by countless black lines, actually swallowing the omnipresent white divine punishment!

But the black shadow was not unharmed; the black lines were continuously consumed by the white divine punishment, albeit slowly.

So the black shadow wasn’t flustered either, seemingly having enough confidence to resist this white divine punishment.

Yet, as a bronze flying knife shot out from the void, Qi Ping could clearly feel the black shadow suddenly panicking....
