A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 565 - 445: Sacrifice (2)

Legend has it that there is almost nothing that can withstand the Eight-Armed Praying Mantis!

Now, the Integration Stage malicious soul under its feet is evidence of this.

Previously, outside the support of Starfall, when this Integration Stage Holy Demon appeared, it even made a throat-slitting and dismembering gesture towards Qi Ping and other high-level leaders, making it the most arrogant among the many Holy Demons.

However, its current state is not good; its originally fierce aura now appears somewhat listless.

Because this Eight-Armed Praying Mantis has a very obvious weakness, its destructive power is unparalleled in the world, but its endurance is much worse. Only with a constant supply of fresh blood and corpse essence can it ensure absolute endurance.

But in this disaster battlefield, there’s not even a trace of blood or corpse essence for it to absorb and replenish!

Its resistance to this kind of Integration Stage catastrophe is really mediocre.

And the moment Qi Ping discovered it, the Eight-Armed Praying Mantis also simultaneously discovered him.

"Hey! Was it you who wanted to kill me just now?"

Faced with this arrogant guy, Qi Ping also made a throat-slitting gesture.

Such a terrifying Demon Race Holy Demon must be dealt with here; otherwise, once this guy leaves here, the entire Star Sea Continent, except for the Nine Star Sea Realms, will be massacred by this guy. Even Qi Ping doesn’t have much confidence to stop this guy outside.

So now is the best chance to kill this guy!

Though Qi Ping was arrogant with words, his body was honestly deploying all his defensive means: All Living Beings Realm, Five-Colored Immortal Light (Destruction), Yin Yang Five Elements Divine Shield...

Facing this guy, Qi Ping was really afraid he might be chopped into sixteen pieces by a single slash!

"Blood meal!"

At this moment, the Eight-Armed Praying Mantis was already far from its initial arrogance; now it was almost driven crazy by the rampant Integration Stage catastrophes in the disaster battlefield.

Who would have thought of arriving at such a cursed battlefield!

Not having seen the enemies, nor having attacked Star Sea Continent to snatch food, it was almost ground to death by these omnipresent catastrophes.

But now finally, food has arrived!

Upon seeing Qi Ping, the eyes of the Eight-Armed Praying Mantis instantly turned blood-red, and then its figure appeared almost at a teleportation speed in front of Qi Ping, or faster than teleportation!

Advance, swing foot!

Incomprehensibly simple actions, the whole world instantly divided into sixteen slices!

Everything in front of it, all Integration Stage catastrophes, split in two at this moment!

Eight blades sweeping across all things in the world—it was nothing more than this!

As the first perspective being attacked, the pressure brought by this attack on Qi Ping was immensely terrifying.

At this moment, Qi Ping doubted whether he had already been cleaved. Facing this kind of attack, with his awareness and combat power, he almost had no chance to react...

"Damn fierce! Is this the fearsome nature of Demon Race Holy Demons?"

This race could cause the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms to panic for a reason.

Incredibly strong!

In just a face-to-face moment, Qi Ping’s Yin Yang Five Elements Divine Shield was cut like tofu...

....

As Qi Ping fell into the Eight-Armed Praying Mantis’ onslaught, other battlefields on the Realm Battlefield had already turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Countless horrific carcasses lay scattered across every corner of the battlefield.

Among them were some from the Demon Race, others from warriors of the Star Sea Continent...

In every battlefield, once the two sides met, a fight to the bitter end with no retreat or compromise would unfold, until one side was completely vanquished!

Since entering the Realm Battlefield, almost every second saw the fall of countless lives...

At this moment, in the Qi Refining Level battlefield.

This level of battlefield has the lowest cultivation but the largest number!

And because the Qi Refining Level realm battlefield is smaller, once engaged, corpses would fall like wheat.

Due to the restrictions on carrying items exceeding this level on the Qi Refining level battlefield, every Qi Refining warrior of the Nine Star Sea Realms carries matching-level items.

Regarding the strategy for the Qi Refining battlefield, the Star Sea Continent also adopted a brutal strategy.

Sacrifice!

Based on the development of the Nine Star Sea Realms, the Human Race cultivators, due to the environment, have given birth to a large number of infants with extremely unique and powerful talents and physiques.

These highly talented children, after undergoing growth cultivation paths most suitable for them researched by Star Sea Academy, have gradually grown over the years into the most powerful batch of Qi Refining Cultivators in the history of Star Sea Continent, some even very strong Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Because they have the best cultivation techniques and the best cultivation systems, their cultivation foundations alone surpass any era of Star Sea Continent in ancient and modern times!

Coupled with the equipped weapons, their combat power absolutely sweeps away Demon Race of the same level.

But ultimately, all these people were prohibited from going to war!

Because the number of Qi Refining Stage Demons is simply too vast, and after the Realm Battlefield, there will be even more brutal ultimate showdowns.

Once these highly-talented Qi Refining cultivators join, there will undoubtedly be heavy casualties!

But these people must not die; once there is massive loss, Star Sea Continent will face a serious talent gap.

Therefore, to preserve this group, Star Sea Academy ultimately decided to hire Star Sea Mercenaries to fight. These people’s talents and combat power might be very average, even their foundations might have significant flaws.

But none of this mattered, because the only thing they needed was a steadfast determination to face death!

The Talisman Hall of Star Sea Academy would provide them with the largest amount of slaughter-type talismans.

Their only purpose was to wear the thickest armor, carry as many talismans as possible, and slay as many Demon Race members!

Then to come back alive...if possible...

Star Sea Academy would also reward them richly based on the number of enemies killed; their families or designated relatives would be incorporated into Star Sea Academy’s special cultivation plans...

Before announcing this plan, concerns were about whether enough Qi Refining cultivators would do this, but the number of volunteers was unexpectedly high, even Qi Ping underestimated the allure of these resources...

But this, too, was a kind of sadness; for Qi Ping, resources that were now slightly insignificant could buy the lives of so many cultivators!

And they compete to do this! Because it was far better than the circumstances they faced before; to die in such value was almost a luxury.

But though Qi Ping felt sympathy, he didn’t say much more, only slightly increased the overall rewards.

There would always be some who would sacrifice during the process, and all he could do was make their departure more peaceful and valuable.

Only Qi Ping did not know that quite a few were not for the profits, but for supporting Qi Ping. They had long lost hope for the future, but the existence of the Star Emperor made this Immortal Cultivation Realm seem a bit different.

They were willing to go completely mad once for this difference.

And maybe if they killed enough enemies, they might defy fate...

In short, this strange and not very combative Star Sea Mercenary group became the main force of the Qi Refining battlefield.

And the Talisman Hall, which gathered all the talisman-making talents and knowledge of Star Sea Continent, provided the greatest help to the Qi Refining battlefield.

The annual output of Qi Refining talismans from the Talisman Hall now far exceeds the total of the previous ten years combined, because today’s talisman-making talents and the process, success rate of making talismans are incomparable to before.

Even the quality was far ahead of what was known.
