A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 561 - 443: Who Is the Chosen One_2

If that were the case, with the strength of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Body, the battle where Qi Ping swept across the Star Sea Continent would have had many variables.

Back then, the auspicious prediction of the Little Immortal Tiger might not have guaranteed victory, but rather was due to Ji Qingyue’s concession. Otherwise, it could have been an earth-shattering deadly battle, with many losing their lives.

Fortunately, Ji Qingyue yielded, while the monk from Celestial Dragon Continent, Fu Tuzi, did not inspire much confidence.

The Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body is just a general term, with each Dao that a Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body is close to being different. Some have many, some few, some high, some low, so ultimately how strong one is depends on analyzing specific cases.

From Ji Qingyue’s past performance, it shouldn’t be particularly weak.

"Hopefully, she can calmly eliminate the Demon Race, which would be great for us... but if she has any sly intentions, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Baili Yun snorted coldly.

"Can your True Demon Seed Restriction completely control her?" Meng Tianqi was somewhat apprehensive.

"Old Meng, rest assured! Even if she were in the Integration Stage, once the True Demon Seed Restriction controls the soul origin and consciousness, she absolutely cannot escape before I discover it, or else the True Demon Realm wouldn’t be so rare!"

"That’s good, most of them have gone in, we shouldn’t delay too long either!"

"Alright! You better come back alive, old Meng..."

"Worry about yourself! I’d hate to have no one left to spar with..."

As the words faded, the two exchanged a smile and stepped into the Realm Battlefield together.

Shortly after Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun entered the battlefield, Immortal Fall City began to empty out.

The once billions-strong immortal cultivation army had grandly set foot into the Realm Battlefield.

Sister Nan, Meng Yan, Han Li, Zhang Daniu, Wang He, Chang Qing, Chang’e, Little Spear Immortal... each entered with their own convictions.

Yet no one knew how many would fall within; if only half died, it would be incredibly good news.

If more than half perished, it wouldn’t be surprising either.

Complete annihilation wasn’t impossible either...

This is the harsh reality; although the Star Sea Continent has greatly improved recently, compared to the vast numbers and power of the Demon Race, it is still too large.

In terms of open strength comparisons, saying it’s a one-in-nine chance of survival isn’t an exaggeration.

The gamble now lies in the home-field advantage of the Star Sea Continent and its growth potential, betting that the emerging talents can push past their limits in the blood and fire trials, betting that the Star Sea Continent will unleash more potential, provide more Power of Creation, and help more reach ultimate breakthroughs...

This is a gamble and decisive battle that must be undertaken; the Star Sea Continent can lose, but the nodes in the Realm Battlefield must not all fall to the Demon Race, or the Star Sea Continent faces certain doom.

...

Quickly, everyone in Immortal Fall City stepped irrevocably into the Realm Battlefield.

Cyan Divine Army, the elders and disciples of Star Sea Academy, Star Sea Mercenaries, underground Beast Race, Spirit Wood Academy’s Tree-man Warriors enlightened by Qi Ping.... no one retreated.

Only a few wavered at the last moment, but ultimately steeled their gaze, gripping their magical treasures and rushing in.

This battle, advancing might mean death, but retreating would likely mean more death; there’s no choice but to fight to the death...

After everyone in Immortal Fall City entered the battlefield, two figures appeared in the city.

One was the true body of Qi Ping, though his aura was weak now, having chosen to infuse most of his power and origin into his Tree-man Avatar.

Originally, Qi Ping had considered sending his true body into the Realm Battlefield, but ultimately abandoned the idea, recognizing that while the Realm Battlefield was a decisive battle, it wasn’t everything.

The odds of completely destroying the Demon Race in the Realm Battlefield were low, so the real deciding factor was the Nine Star Sea Realms. The Tree-man Avatar could self-destruct, but the true body couldn’t afford any accidents. Any delay in true body revival or unexpected incidents would turn the whole Nine Star Sea Realms into scorched earth under Demon Race ravages...

The other was Lin Yue, who, as the overseer of logistics and the nurturing of new power, also needed to avoid any accidents.

With Lin Yue there, spiritual medicine, elixirs, magical weapons, and research against the Demon Race on the Star Sea Continent, along with the cultivation of still-developing talents, could all progress with the highest efficiency and adapt as war conditions change.

If Lin Yue were lost, the sustained combat capabilities of the Star Sea Continent would undoubtedly decrease significantly.

Now the entire Nine Star Sea Realms is operating at extreme capacity to provide more support to those on the frontline.

"Dean, how many do you think will come back?" Lin Yue gazed at the Realm Battlefield, his eyes full of mixed emotions.

Amidst these emotions lies concern for the warriors on the frontlines and their future and his regret at not being able to participate in the battle.

However, no one understands better than he does that he must not join the battle, for the Star Sea Continent would face disaster if he did.

"I don’t know... no one can know..." Qi Ping shook his head.

Who could calculate outcomes in a war of this scale?

Even the Heavenly Dao’s backlash alone could kill countless cultivators at the Mahayana Stage, and any survivors would pay unimaginable costs.

"Let’s hope more can survive, so long as not too many spatial nodes have been taken, there is still hope!"

"Yes, now it depends on how many can rise from desperation, and I also hope the Star Sea Continent has more hidden strengths to help them break through, for those who survive truly represent our hope!"

"But the enemy is too terrifying, I truly fear they can’t withstand it..." Lin Yue said worriedly.

He always appeared calm and confident in front of everyone, because as the one managing everything, any sign of weakness on his part would only increase others’ doubts and worries.

It was only before Qi Ping that he could express some genuine inner emotions.

For in his heart, Qi Ping was the one who could truly change the situation, and he trusted him immensely.

Being trusted by Qi Ping and working for him was what Lin Yue considered the most trustworthy thing in his life.

"At the right time, I’ll have them forcibly retreat from the Realm Battlefield. When those people pursue, I’ll completely detonate the Star Sea Grand Array after it holds them off for a while... Believe in them, after this battle, some will surprise us, and we don’t have to bear all the hope on our own shoulders...." Qi Ping reassured.

"Dean, you’re right, facing an entire Demon Realm, individual strength is insignificant; only by maximizing everyone’s roles and potential can we create unimaginable miracles!"

Yes, putting all hope on oneself is truly foolish; no one is the sole destiny...

...

Inside the Realm Battlefield.

As soon as Qi Ping stepped in, he found himself in a special spatial wonderland.

Here, he immediately released all of his animal companions:

A Void Level small Stone Spirit, also in the Void Refining Realm.

Nearly one hundred thousand Golden Marrow Bees, among which about thirty thousand are at the Divinity Transformation Level, and seventy thousand below that level. This number doesn’t seem as exaggerated as when they were low-level, but it’s actually incredibly terrifying.

From the Divinity Transformation Level onward, each bee’s size has greatly increased, and their individual combat power has skyrocketed, no longer requiring hundreds or thousands to kill one of the same level. So with this number of bees forming an array, they can cause incredibly deadly damage to same-level enemies...

Unfortunately, cultivating bees at this level requires too many resources, and even as the Star Sea Co-Master, Qi Ping couldn’t supply an exceptionally large number of bees...

Aside from the Golden Marrow Bees, the growth of the Void Fish group is also astonishing...
