A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 687: Chapter 527: Sea of Rotting Flesh and Blood

The Bald Golden Crow finished speaking and handed a space full of high-quality spiritual liquid to Qi Ping, stating it would come in handy later.

“Alright!”

By this point, Qi Ping had no hesitation and immediately accepted the spiritual liquid.

Seeing the mysterious portal about to shrink, he flickered, manipulated his position with the Space Law, and in an instant, entered the portal.

Even facing this eerie altar akin to the Immortal Alliance’s altar, he must investigate thoroughly.

Thankfully, this was only a spirit body crafted from his Tree-man Avatar fused with precious materials like Cloud Illusion Gold, giving it ninety-five percent of his original battle power, and he could fully afford the cost.

When Qi Ping’s form emerged from the other side of the portal, a pungent scent of blood immediately assaulted him!

As the scene came into view, Qi Ping felt a surge of physical discomfort.

Remains, decayed flesh, gore… these combined to form a sea of flesh and blood deeper than imaginable, with piles of demon beast corpses within this sea of blood.

“Just how many demon beasts have died?”

Qi Ping couldn’t fathom how many demon beasts must have perished to form such a sea of corpse blood.

At least Qi Ping was sure that even if the entire human race of the Star Sea World gathered, it couldn’t create such a sea of corpse blood.

Yet, it wasn’t just accumulated flesh and blood, but the corrupt flesh, which shouldn’t have rotted, crawling with disgusting maggots, endless repulsive spirits, and wandering souls……

The first impression it left was ineffable nausea, followed by chilling dread from the depths of the soul!

“What exactly happened?”

With Qi Ping’s current knowledge and achievement, he could not imagine what kind of power could create this hellish scene.

Nor could he imagine that such a brutal war had taken place in the Forest Sea Demon Realm.

It’s known that terrifying demon beast corpses of the Void Refining and Integration Stage were not lacking inside.

Suddenly, just as Qi Ping contemplated the scene before him, some exceedingly swift shadows rushed toward him.

With incredible speed, they appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye; only then did Qi Ping see it was a black maggot over ten times his size, dripping disgusting slime.

“Late Tier Seven!” Qi Ping’s heart tightened.

This maggot’s realm was unexpectedly the same as his!

Yet, even so, the eeriest thing was that this maggot carried an aura and pressure of the Mahayana Stage!

Due to the presence of such power, an ordinary Integration Stage cultivator might be shocked into paralysis!

Fortunately, Qi Ping’s foundations were deep enough, and he had slowly adapted to the pressure of the Mahayana Stage’s aura not long ago; otherwise, he might have fallen victim.

Nevertheless, it still brought him considerable pressure.

Mysterious Sky Shield-Wood!

Qi Ping instinctively cast a technique to block before him.

In the next moment, black liquid shot like arrows, blasting against the Mysterious Sky Wood Shield; the terrifying power attacked and shattered Qi Ping’s Mysterious Sky Wood Shield into pieces!

“What terrifying power!”

“The attack carries Mahayana Stage level power, is this power counteracting life force?”

In the first clash, the destructive force exceeded Qi Ping’s expectations.

Especially since they counteracted each other, the power of attack escalated to a higher level.

“Judging from the destructive force augment, the opponent’s power is not weaker than the Cyan Dragon Sacred Beast’s Oriental Extremes of Wood Power combined with Jungle Druid’s power!”

His wood attribute power had fused with the origins of an Tier Eight Cyan Dragon Sacred Beast, and the Power of Extreme Wood was unimaginably strong, yet now a maggot equaled it!

Such a claim would be unbelievable to others, and even Qi Ping was unwilling to believe it.

Yet evidence manifested before his eyes!

“I want to see what you’re made of!”

Having reached this point, Qi Ping naturally felt no fear, unleashing all the power belonging to the Wood Lord Dao Fruit, forming an indestructible wooden armor around him in an instant.

At the same time, the extreme power of wood gathered in his hands, forming a magic explosive akin to Flame Burst Technique, but far surpassing Flame Burst Technique in power and precision, definitely ranking as a top-tier Tier Seven technique!

This was the tactic Qi Ping derived from analyzing the current situation instantly, since the two forces countered each other, he employed the most extreme power to execute a decisive strike!

In the extreme speed between the man and maggot, they had exchanged more than a hundred violent strikes in an instant, turning the sea of corpse blood upside down!

Countless lesser realm spirits and maggots were obliterated in this terrifying clash of power.

“Quite troubling!”

Qi Ping gazed at the maggot, battered and torn by the strikes, his chest heaving violently.

It was unimaginable that just a maggot could push him to this extent.

However, to his surprise, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the Tier Seven maggot suddenly turned to flee!

But how could Qi Ping let it go as it wished?

Spatial Teleportation!

Extreme Wood-Burst!

In an instant, a series of earth-shattering blasts erupted between the man and the maggot.

Even Qi Ping’s wooden armor was shattered repeatedly!

Because the maggot’s counterattack power was not much weaker than Qi Ping’s, at times even slightly stronger!

Fortunately, Qi Ping displayed significantly higher sophistication and control in defense techniques; he quickly recovered the damage to both the wooden armor and his body.

Whereas the maggot relied solely on its intrinsic traits and talents for defense.

This might be despairing for ordinary Tier Seven beings, but for Qi Ping, adept in various techniques, it fell short.

Yet Qi Ping had to endure; the maggot was terrifyingly strong!

After over a thousand exchanges, Qi Ping finally obliterated the maggot that had ambushed him.

The entire sea of decaying flesh was churned into chaos, a scene of carnage stretched before him!

“This thing is truly eerie!”

Fortunately, though the battle had been fierce, for a Tier Seven expert, it lasted less than half an incense stick of time.

After collecting himself, Qi Ping continued onward.

He wanted to see what kind of uncanny place this truly was!

However, no matter how he proceeded afterward, he only saw scenes similar to the one before…

What truly darkened Qi Ping’s face was that not long after advancing, he was again targeted by Tier Seven maggots!

He was not only targeted by maggots, but also by two spirits at late Tier Seven and peak Tier Seven!

This made Qi Ping’s heart sink immediately; just one maggot had been troublesome enough, now there were two profound spirits added!

Moreover, in terms of attack methods, spirits were evidently more troublesome to deal with.

But what truly unnerved Qi Ping wasn’t just this; he discovered something even more terrifying:

“These uncanny things are of the same origin… perhaps even from… the same entity!”

“Which means, all these grotesque things on the sea of decaying flesh are merely avatars of some entity!?”
