A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 547 - 435: True Demon Realm! (Part 2)

Especially within the Cyan Divine Army, after undergoing the baptism of a true life-and-death battle, these one-in-ten-thousand geniuses of the Human Race began to gradually awaken their own potential.

"There’s not much I can do. I’m only giving you the best platform to grow, a platform superior to all eras. Not a single one of your Talents will be suppressed. I hope you won’t let me down!"

"The enemy is very strong—so strong that if we clash with them head-on as we are now, we’ll be reduced to dust. But on the Realm Battlefield woven together by two worlds, anything is possible. I’ll give you the best Cultivation Techniques and resources. Among you, there must emerge powerhouses who will stand above the All Heavens and Myriad Realms of tomorrow!"

Looking at some of the figures beginning to stand out, a trace of expectation involuntarily rose in Qi Ping’s heart.

A desperate situation—but not one without the chance to break through in a single stroke!

If you want to live well in this world, how could your path possibly be smooth sailing?

...

Qi Ping withdrew his gaze from the people behind him, his mood not fluctuating much. He had long since been mentally prepared for a situation of this Level.

At this moment, Qi Ping’s gaze was focused more on the terrifying Demon Nature permeating between heaven and earth, and on that Thunder Tribulation which still had yet to disperse.

"Is it as I guessed?" A trace of anticipation rose in Qi Ping’s heart.

Normally, when both body and form are annihilated, one is dead beyond dead—but there are exceptions. For example, Qi Ping right now could, even with both Divine Soul and flesh extinguished, rapidly be reborn. It’s just that achieving this degree is unbelievably difficult.

But if one can do it, the meaning it represents is no longer ordinary.

Very soon, the others aside from Qi Ping also noticed this anomaly.

"Why is the Demon Nature between heaven and earth still this intense? After the Demon Blade Daoist Master fell, shouldn’t this Demonic Qi rapidly decay?"

"And that Integration Stage Thunder Tribulation also has not dispersed!"

"Look, those golden bolts of Thunder Tribulation are slaughtering that Demonic Qi. Could it be... the Demon Blade Daoist Master is still alive? No way, right?"

"It’s possible. Otherwise the Thunder Tribulation would absolutely have stopped! Has anyone ever heard of a Tribulation continuing after the one crossing it is already dead?"

"But... the Demon Blade Daoist Master clearly had both body and spirit annihilated!"

"Could it be... that the Demon Blade Daoist Master has already reached the True Demon level in his comprehension of demons? How is that possible?"

"What is a True Demon?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"A True Demon is one of the supreme Realms pursued by Demonic Dao Cultivators. This Realm is not constrained by Cultivation. Once attained, one can completely break free of all shackles, follow one’s ultimate emotions and nature, and no longer be limited by flesh or Divine Soul. With one thought, one’s body becomes Demon Nature and merges into heaven and earth; with another thought, one can re-condense a True Demon Body!"

"A Demon Cultivator who reaches this step cannot be killed by ordinary means! It’s just that... this is only a legend. No one can even be sure if it’s real!"

"But what we’re seeing right now is far too similar to the legends of the True Demon Realm!"

The one explaining was an old man at the Divinity Transformation Stage, who now served as an Elder managing the Cultivation Technique Pavilion of Star Sea Academy.

As his words fell, all eyes were filled with unimaginable shock.

If this was real, then the Star Sea Continent would have a True Demon Cultivator at the Integration Stage!

Such strength absolutely was not something ordinary people could easily imagine!

At this moment, anticipation rose in everyone’s hearts. They were looking forward to the descent of a True Demon!

Suddenly, a Demon Cultivator seemed to be struck by enlightenment. His entire body’s Spiritual Power and Demon Nature began to surge, then transformed into the purest energy and insights, flying toward the place where Baili Yun’s body and soul had been annihilated.

After one Demon Cultivator took the lead, more and more Demon Cultivators began to follow suit. One, two... a thousand... ten thousand...!

As these streams of power poured in, it was like droplets of water cast into boiling oil. The Demon Nature between heaven and earth instantly boiled several levels higher!

Afterward, the countless Demon Nature seemed to have gained sufficient power and half-formed consciousness, and began to rush at Extreme Speed toward the point where Baili Yun’s body and soul had been annihilated!

Very soon, a blurry figure began to gradually take shape, and an earth-shaking True Demon aura began to emerge!

Yet what was most exhilarating was that within that vague silhouette, there appeared an aura everyone was incredibly familiar with!

"The Demon Blade Daoist Master is back!"

"He’s really back!"

The people on the Star Sea Continent side erupted, but those who were even more ecstatic were the Demon Cultivators!

"The True Demon Realm! The True Demon Realm actually exists!"

Qi Ping and Meng Tianqi also had a trace of a smile flash through their eyes as they witnessed this scene.

Baili Yun had actually succeeded!

"What a madman," Qi Ping sighed.

"But isn’t this exactly what a pure demon should be?" Meng Tianqi replied.

Yet compared to Baili Yun’s ascent to the legendary True Demon Realm, what shocked Meng Tianqi even more was Qi Ping.

In this moment, he felt even more deeply that awe-inspiring imperial might that emanated from Qi Ping.

Because if it weren’t for Qi Ping, the Star Sea Continent would still be mired in mutual slaughter and suspicion. No one would be willing to see the birth of an Integration Stage powerhouse, and those ordinary Demon Cultivators would never have offered up their own strength when Baili Yun faced his crisis.

The unity and support within the Star Sea Continent was more unprecedented than ever.

The emergence of such an atmosphere was a thing countless times rarer than the True Demon Realm itself.

For while a single True Demon Realm Cultivator could indeed shake the ages, what was even more terrifying was the soil that could nurture the birth of a True Demon Realm Cultivator!

The former is a single powerhouse—but only a single one. Whereas as long as this kind of soil exists, powerhouses on the level of the True Demon Realm will absolutely not be limited to just one!

At this moment, Meng Tianqi’s admiration for and confidence in Qi Ping had almost reached its peak.

At this moment, he finally saw a corner of the boundless breadth of Qi Ping’s heart. Perhaps it was precisely because a person like this existed that the Star Sea Continent could gradually enter such a prosperous era, instead of scheming over trivial scraps of land and resources.

"Such an emperor—throughout ancient and modern times, there is but this one man!"

Originally, Meng Tianqi had thought that aside from the difference of his Earth Immortal status, he might not have no chance of catching up to Qi Ping in Cultivation. But now he truly felt that what Qi Ping pursued was a tempest of stars and seas that he had never seen, and had never even imagined.

And to follow such a person would inevitably mean soaring ever upward, rather than having one’s Will shackled by petty trifles before one’s eyes.

At this moment, Meng Tianqi was truly convinced by Qi Ping.

Meanwhile, Baili Yun’s recovery ran into trouble. Under the terrifying Thunder Tribulation, Baili Yun’s not-yet-fully-condensed True Demon Body was repeatedly shattered by the golden bolts, making it impossible for the True Demon Body to fully coalesce.

Right now, Baili Yun was forcing the condensation of his True Demon Body too much. Even though he had succeeded in this step, there was still enormous risk.

However, this problem was quickly resolved, because Meng Tianqi saw Qi Ping take out numerous Elixirs and honey. Under the effect of a five-colored radiance, these diluted Treasures all transformed into the purest energy, which poured continuously into Baili Yun’s repeatedly condensing and collapsing True Demon Body.

With the aid of this power, there was no longer any suspense over the condensation of Baili Yun’s True Demon Body. Those terrifying golden bolts of Thunder Tribulation also could no longer pose a fatal threat to him, instead becoming nourishment to temper the True Demon Body.

At this moment, there was no longer any suspense about Baili Yun’s Integration Stage Thunder Tribulation.

As the Thunder Tribulation gradually drew to a close, the aura of a Demon Cultivator grandmaster at the Integration Stage rose, swiftly suppressing the entire stretch of heaven and earth!

That terrifying True Demon aura nearly made heaven and earth themselves tremble!

When the feedback from heaven and earth was completely absorbed by Baili Yun, a supreme Integration Stage True Demon was thus born!

All things under heaven—within a single thought, all can become demons!

Yet after the birth of such a super True Demon, he did something that left everyone utterly stunned:

He appeared before Qi Ping in a flash, dropped to one knee, and said with the utmost respect:

"Your subordinate Baili Yun thanks the Star Emperor for his grace!"

When this voice fell, the people of the Star Sea Continent didn’t feel much; they only felt that this was how it should be, that Qi Ping was worthy of it. But the Cultivators of the Celestial Dragon Continent watching this scene through the Celestial Secret Treasure were completely dumbfounded.
