A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 621 - 477: Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber Perfection

"Although I do not know the exact reason, I cannot let them succeed so easily!"

Feeling a sense of unease within his heart, Qi Ping knew he must do his utmost to prevent this from happening. As a Druid with four paths, he possessed an extraordinary Spiritual Sense unmatched by others, a fact proven countless times in the past.

This feeling of unease is definitely not without cause!

Therefore, Qi Ping knew he must stop all of this from happening!

The Star Sea World has sacrificed so many to reach this point, even the rare True Demon Realm Demon Cultivators have nearly fallen, and Qi Ping felt he must ensure these sacrifices are not in vain, even if it means using every last bit of potential and life.

Otherwise, he would never forgive himself.

"Kill!"

The killing intent surged within Qi Ping’s heart as he transformed into a radiant light, shooting across the void at an incredibly terrifying speed toward the distance.

After traveling for a while, Qi Ping soon spotted a mid-stage Integration Demon Race similar to a larva.

Faced with such an enemy, Qi Ping naturally chose to strike without hesitation.

Spatial Blade!

Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber!

Due to several mystical upgrades, the power of the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber was now extraordinary, and with the Integration late-stage realm provided by the Emperor’s Battle Armor, Qi Ping easily shredded the larva-like demon into pieces, removing any possibility of resistance or escape.

The black tendrils of the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber swiftly swept up all the remains, voraciously absorbing every ounce of energy from the fragments!

With just a glance, Qi Ping continued shooting in the direction of the two Demon Race saints.

Meanwhile, he frantically absorbed and refined the Power of Calamity from the battlefield, replenishing his battle consumption.

The advantages of being a Druid and mastering the Yin Yang Five Elements Path became apparent at this moment; after some adaptation, Qi Ping could absorb most of the Power of Calamity.

Thus, Qi Ping traveled while rapidly recovering his battle expenditures.

Before long, Qi Ping unexpectedly encountered two more Demon Race saints!

One was at the mid-stage Integration, the other was at the Integration Perfection stage!

The mid-stage Integration demon was easy to deal with, but the Integration Perfection demon caused Qi Ping significant trouble.

It was a terrifying Demon Race Saint Ape born from the bloodline of divine apes and golden dragons, with an incredibly formidable physical body!

Wielding an apocalypse-wielding giant staff, each strike carried near-world-ending force!

Even more terrifying was its astonishing agility and speed, surpassing the previous humanoid saint, with almost unbelievable physical defense!

As if aware of Qi Ping’s intentions in advance, the Demon Race Saint Ape immediately unleashed its most powerful Innate Divine Techniques, shattering Qi Ping’s Emperor’s Battle Armor with a single blow and blasting apart half of Qi Ping’s body... Its combat power was terrifyingly unparalleled!

In terms of basic combat power, this Demon Race Saint Ape could crush Qi Ping!

Until Qi Ping unleashed the Emperor Slash... the Demon Race Saint Ape was rendered completely immobilized mid-air. It seemed unable to escape absolute paralysis, unlike the previous humanoid saint, as if it had met its nemesis...

This made Qi Ping feel grateful for choosing the Emperor Slash skill, or he would have known the taste of death in this battle.

Even so, rendering the Demon Race Saint Ape absolutely paralyzed, Qi Ping’s full-strength slash only barely broke through its defenses. When its golden-black blood spilled onto the ground, it caused the earth to tremble violently, triggering a terrifying explosion!

A single drop of ordinary blood exerted unimaginable pressure on the earth!

Fortunately, the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber possessed powerful demon-eating Traits, and even under Qi Ping’s peak attack strength, its devouring ability did not falter, nor did the Saint Ape’s power significantly slow its devouring speed...

Combined with the extended paralysis duration caused by the Emperor Slash, nearly twenty percent of the Demon Race Saint Ape’s body was devoured in one blow!

Hence, Qi Ping executed two more Emperor Slashes, and finally, after three uses, the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber devoured nearly seventy percent of the Demon Race Saint Ape’s body!

Yet, by this point, the power of the Emperor Slash was nearly exhausted! Another attempt was almost impossible.

Fortunately, with only thirty percent of the Demon Race Saint Ape’s combat power remaining, Qi Ping barely managed to take it down using the enhanced Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber...

When the last piece of flesh of the Demon Race Saint Ape was devoured by the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber amidst its roars and unwillingness, Qi Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

Too close!

Even with the absolute restraint of the Emperor Slash, it still took Qi Ping incredible effort to barely slay this foe, and even so, he exhausted a near-death recovery, and the power of the Emperor Slash was nearly depleted!

The regrouping and accumulation of all beings’ Spirituality was an unknown duration away.

Even the near-death recovery Trait of the Emperor’s Protection was left with just one more use....

Recalling the pain from being almost obliterated, Qi Ping’s eyes revealed a hint of lingering fear.

This was the first Integration Perfection demon he encountered, whose horror was terrifying! If not for the restraint of the Emperor Slash and the devouring ability of the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber, it would have been a death sentence if not escaped after a few encounters.

However, if a single Integration Perfection saint was so terrifying, how horrifying would it be if those remaining saints gathered together?

And what are they gathering for?

That consistently measures far beyond the power of this Demon Race Saint Ape! Qi Ping didn’t believe those Integration-stage demons only had this much power!

Yet, Qi Ping harbored no fear; instead, he was more resolved in his determination to press forward!

Regardless of the outcome, he must never allow this bizarre gathering to proceed smoothly!

As if sensing Qi Ping’s determination, the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber imparted a terrifying intent for slaughter, signaling its willingness to stay with Qi Ping!

Seeing the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber in his hand glowing with brilliance from devouring the Demon Race Saint Ape, a reassuring smile crossed Qi Ping’s face. At least he was not fighting alone!

At that moment, a look of pleasant surprise suddenly covered Qi Ping’s face.

"Is the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber about to ascend to the Integration Perfection stage?"

Feeling the surging aura and transformative information from the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber, Qi Ping laughed joyously to the sky.

After devouring so many powerful demons, especially the terrifying Demon Race Saint Ape with divine ape and golden dragon Traits, it was certainly time for advancement.

"Whether the following journey can proceed smoothly depends on the level you, my old friend, can reach!"

Realizing the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber’s ascension was still underway, Qi Ping resumed his journey, as time was of the essence!

The Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber emitted an earth-shattering hum in response to Qi Ping’s words, seemingly indicating: Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!

The upcoming battles, I’ll be with you till the end!
