A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 525: Chapter 420: Decisively Seizing the Foundation of Time

Originally, the silhouette made up of black lines was confident in blocking that white divine punishment which struck fear into countless cultivators, even though it was one of the most terrifying divine punishments recorded in the world.

Facing such a terrifying divine punishment, the black silhouette did not show the slightest panic.

However, at the moment the mottled bronze flying knife tore through the void, the black silhouette immediately panicked, and even the black lines seemed to tremble uncontrollably.

Decisively, the black silhouette instantly disintegrated, turning into countless black lines that drilled into the void and merged with the Dao, and almost instantly all traces disappeared completely.

Faced with such a bizarre method, Qi Ping’s heart shook with madness.

This self-preservation technique was unbelievably strong, directly transforming into billions and merging into the void Dao. Among the various cultivation techniques and spells Qi Ping had seen for blood separation, consciousness separation, and clone self-preservation, none could compare to this self-preservation technique.

And this move was indeed effective.

In the face of such a method, the terrifying white divine thunder could only track and obliterate a part of it, possibly not even inflicting heavy damage on the opponent.

Yet just when Qi Ping thought the black silhouette could escape, the bronze flying knife acted!

At the moment the bronze flying knife slashed into the void, the entire world suddenly froze in time and space!

Then an even more shocking scene appeared, countless black lines were actually pulled out from the void Dao under the slash of the bronze flying knife!

And then the pulled-out black lines began to break inch by inch until they collapsed and vanished!

However, to Qi Ping’s regret, the bronze flying knife could not obliterate all the black lines because after destroying the vast majority, the power fluctuations from the bronze flying knife disappeared, seeming to have exhausted all its power, allowing some black lines to escape.

After the black lines left, only then did a black box appear in the void, followed by the appearance of a human Mahayana stage cultivator inside the box, whose blood had almost dried up.

With hands trembling as if in the last flicker of oil, he struggled to place the bronze flying knife into the black box.

Then he tore a piece of the only clean cloth from his body and began writing blood inscriptions on it.

Qi Ping distinctly saw that those blood inscriptions were exactly the ones he had seen.

"Black box, bronze flying knife, blood-inscribed cloth strips..."

At that moment, a part of the mystery surrounding the black box and bronze flying knife was finally unveiled.

And after cautiously and solemnly placing the bronze flying knife and the blood-inscribed cloth strips into the black box, the withered Mahayana stage cultivator then solemnly and piously cast the black box back into the Star Sea Continent...

After completing all this, that figure seemed to have completed all its tasks, and as the will supporting him disappeared, his whole being began to gradually dissipate, with the eyes on his dreadfully withered face showing one last trace of reluctance.

Subsequently, that withered-to-the-extreme Mahayana stage cultivator vanished into the void with a final sense of attachment, and everything about his existence was swiftly erased...

At this point, the scene before Qi Ping’s eyes faded away.

However, at the last moment, a unique technique also appeared in Qi Ping’s mind.

Though it was only a single technique, the Laws and Dao contained within it were extraordinarily grandiose, taking nearly a month before Qi Ping could barely accept it, and it would require a much longer time to comprehend its use.

"Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, Immortal Slaying Technique!"

After digesting that technique, Qi Ping finally understood the whole story.

Based on the information contained within the technique, Qi Ping realized that what he had just accepted was a weapon control method called the Immortal Slaying Technique, the weapon it manipulated being that bronze flying knife!

Which is precisely the described Immortal Slaying Flying Knife!

According to the technique’s description, the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife is a weapon with huge causality, created specifically for slaying immortals, which is both its greatest and sole function.

Curiously, however, every time the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife is used, it needs to devour a cultivator’s essence, qi, spirit, and flesh, and only extremely rare special cultivators can fulfill the needs of the bronze flying knife.

As long as the bronze flying knife devours satisfying flesh and the essence, qi, and spirit, it can unleash incredible power, capable of even slaying an immortal!

According to the information provided in the technique, the silhouette composed of black immortals was indeed an immortal, a Mahayana stage cultivator who crossed the threshold of immortality!

"Is this an immortal?"

Qi Ping found it somewhat hard to accept.

In his expectation, cultivators who have crossed the threshold of immortality should be extraordinary beings that live with the world and untouched by time, how could they become so terrifying and strange?

The whole body transformed into these terrifying black lines, if not a monster, then what is it?

"However, from one perspective, with such power and survivability, calling it an immortal isn’t entirely inappropriate, it’s just a bit eerie..."

Rather than an immortal, it might be more accurate to call it a demon or specter.

If this is called an immortal, then the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife exists precisely to cut down such things.

Killing such things doesn’t seem particularly hard to understand, it’s just that the method of controlling the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife made Qi Ping’s scalp tingle.

Draining a person’s flesh and the essence, qi, and spirit, how is that different from a sacrifice?

Or rather, why does the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife need to devour a rare, special existence before it can unleash its power?
