At this moment, Qi Ping donned a truly awakened Emperorās battle armor and held a demon blade powerful enough to slay the heavens and annihilate the earth, yet his attention was not on himself...
Because the awakening of this Emperorās battle armor and the emergence of the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber both originated from tragedy... from the deaths of countless Star Sea citizens...
More importantly, Qi Ping sensed Baili Yunās presence within the demon blade...!
"Contains Baili Yunās purest demon nature!"
"Furthermore, this demon blade was forged from Fellow Daoist Bailiās lifebound spiritual artifact, flesh, and complete Dao fruit... It merged with a terrifying force... containing Dao Laws... and the aura of the Ancient Battlefield... Therefore, the power contained within this demon blade nearly reaches the limits of the Integration Stage."
"Hence, despite Fellow Daoist Bailiās supposed demise, a trace of true spirit demon nature remains within... If this trace of true spirit is nurtured and strengthened, Fellow Daoist Baili may have a chance at resurrection!"
Thinking of this possibility, Qi Ping suddenly became excited!
Baili Yun still has a chance to revive!
"Path of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings... nurture true spirit!"
Discovering this possibility, Qi Ping immediately wielded the gentlest force within the Path of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings to carefully wrap that trace of true spirit in layers of protection, while imprinting Baili Yunās Dao mark onto the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber...
Only after painstakingly setting up protective restrictions and nurturing arrays did Qi Ping breathe a sigh of relief...
Looking at that subtly strengthened trace of true spirit demon nature, Qi Pingās eyes suddenly revealed a hint of a smile... At that moment, he could finally be sure that Baili Yun had hope for revival!
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Fellow Daoist Baili, I will definitely bring you back to the light!"
Because Baili Yun had hope for resurrection, the sadness in Qi Pingās heart somewhat diminished, allowing him more thought on his freshly transformed Emperorās battle armor and the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber formed from Baili Yun...
"So this is the true power of the Emperorās battle armor... The previous armor was simply bestowed upon me by the Star Sea citizens, a forced enhancement rather than an understanding or cultivation of mine..."
Truth be told, he was just a selfish person, afraid of death, wishing to slowly strengthen secretly, simply wanting a piece of high-level Spirit Field to quietly farm and gain strength.
If not for external threats later or the exploitation and destruction of the Power of Nature by some bastards, he would never have chosen to step out from seclusion...
But as a Druid, he couldnāt help but shoulder the responsibility of preserving the natural order, otherwise, losing the Druidic power would mean giving up the foundation of his immortal cultivation...
Slowly, forced by circumstances, he stepped toward being the master of the Qingtian Realm and eventually crowned as the Emperor of the Star Sea... Originally, all was for Druidic power growth or perhaps a slight desire to make a positive change in the world...
Could such a selfish person truly grasp the power of the Emperorās path?
Qi Ping had obtained the strength of the Path of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings, but at its essence, he was merely a child with a Divine Weapon...
Yet along this journey... watching the world gradually improve under his leadership and actions... witnessing Lin Yue, Wang He, Meng Tianqi, Baili Yun, and others tirelessly striving for seemingly unrealistic goals...
Seeing ordinary cultivators and non-cultivators alike living in unprecedented peace under his shelter... observing talents slowly blooming with their brilliance in various fields...
They smiled... praised Qi Ping, this unparalleled leader of the Star Sea World... offered him their complete loyalty and faith...
Unconsciously, Qi Ping was gradually transformed during this process, with an evolving goal beyond mere Druidic power enhancement...
In this battle for life and death between the Star Sea World and the Demon Realm, seeing his friends fight to the death for him... witnessing citizens battling for the Star Sea World... noticing the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber formed from Baili Yunās sacrificial Dao fruit... he finally recognized the change within him...
It was an Emperorās heart slowly revealing itself unknowingly...
At this moment, the Emperor power clinging to him was finally comprehended...
"Emperorās battle armor!"
"Path of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings... evolving with the power of all beings, I am the Emperor of the Star Sea Worldās beings, those standing behind me... Their strength is my strength..."
"Even now, this Emperor power represents my new realm... This realm is a unique path of immortal cultivation... That is to say, beyond my own cultivation, I now possess a foundation comparable to Integration Late Stage of Emperor path immortal cultivation."
"The Emperor path immortal cultivation foundation has its own strength and divine techniques, and can be bestowed upon any divine technique power I comprehend... "
"My own cultivation is still nearly perfect divinity transformation foundation, merely now possessing an Emperor path immortal cultivation foundation equivalent to Integration Late Stage!"
"Thatās how it is!"
After digesting the information about the Emperorās battle armor in his mind, at this moment, Qi Ping finally understood what the Path of Heaven and Earth and All Living Beings means!
This is a unique immortal cultivation foundation granted to him by the people of the Star Sea World, a special foundation collectively formed by Star Sea citizens!
Now Qi Ping saw information about the Emperorās battle armor on his attribute panel:
[Emperorās Battle Armor: Integration Late Stage]
[Immortal Cultivation Realm: Divinity Transformation Late Stage]
"And this Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber..."
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Baili, after achieving Integration, seized Dao Laws and Ancient Battlefield power... so transformed into an Integration Late Stage Daoist weapon with unique spirituality and life..."
"Besides the trait of slaying of skies, it additionally possesses the power to devour and strengthen itself by feeding on the Demon Race?"
"Doesnāt this mean that if I allow the demon blade to devour more Integration Stage Demon Race, Fellow Daoist Bailiās spirituality can recover faster?"
"Good, very good!"
"Demon Race bastards, itās time for you to pay the price!"
At this moment, Qi Ping thoroughly comprehended his own power, gaining greater confidence to slay more Integration Stage Demons.
Because both the Emperorās battle armor and the Celestial-Slaying Demon Saber possess power that typical Integration Late Stage cultivators cannot possess, a grand and lofty force!
This is the source of Qi Pingās confidence to slay more Integration Stage sacred demons...
"Demon Race bastards... itās time to pay for the Star Sea Worldās peopleās sake..."
As the thought settled, Qi Pingās figure immediately tore open the void and stepped out!
However, he quickly halted as a piece of information he had never expected appeared...
[Triggering fourth Druid Profession... Emperor Druid...]
[Emperor Druid awakening...]
