On the Soul Transformation battlefield, thanks to the presence of the Azure Dragon, Qing He—who was renowned across the myriad worlds—coupled with the Little Immortal Tiger's precognition and the full boost of the arrays, the Star-Sea world finally won a total victory at the cost of less than ten percent casualties!
This was a startlingly great victory, the most brilliant record the Star-Sea world had ever achieved since the war against the Demon Realm began!
The greatest contributor was naturally Qing He. The Azure Dragon's terrifying combat strength and sense of suppression completely crushed the pride of all the demons on the Soul Transformation battlefield. It swept through all the demons in the battlefield batch after batch with a posture that was unrivaled and unstoppable.
When the Soul Transformation battlefield completely ended, everyone looked toward Qing He with gazes of shock and reverence—this was the first time they had truly witnessed the might of a Sacred Beast. At the same time, everyone felt the most sincere respect and gratitude for the Little Immortal Tiger, who had used its precognition to do its utmost to preserve the life of every companion.
Being watched like this made both Qing He and the Little Immortal Tiger feel a special sense of pride. Especially for Qing He, given its age, it was essentially at the human equivalent of a teenager. Suddenly receiving such reverence made it feel a bit at a loss... in any case, it couldn't just sweep everyone away with its tail.
Compared to the Soul Transformation battlefield, the situation on the Void Refinement battlefield was much more difficult. Since Meng Tianqi had broken through to the Unity stage, the only ones left on the Void Refinement battlefield were Coal Ball, a void-aether lifeform, and Ji Qingyue, who had finally awakened the power of the Myriad Law Celestial Physique.
However, despite the difficulty, there was not much suspense regarding the final victory. In the first stage of the world-domain battlefield, only four Void Refinement battlefields had been opened. They were held by the Master of Life and Death Meng Tianqi, Ji Qingyue with the Myriad Law Celestial Physique, Coal Ball, and the battlefield where the Wood Immortal Crone had fallen shortly after the war began.
The fact that Meng Tianqi, Ji Qingyue, and Coal Ball could walk out of those battlefields alive proved that all the Void Refinement demons in three of the battlefields had been completely annihilated in the first stage. Thus, the number of Void Refinement demons appearing in the final showdown was only about a quarter of their original number.
These demons were indeed powerful, and their numbers were not to be ignored. But facing Ji Qingyue, who had completed her transformation and found her own path, combined with Coal Ball and a Void-Aether Fish assisting from the side, the battle did not create too many ripples.
First, the speed of the Void-Aether Fish was beyond imagination. With its support, Coal Ball and Ji Qingyue were always in a flexible position where they could fight or retreat, never allowing themselves to be surrounded by the demons.
Coal Ball and Ji Qingyue's combat strength was also beyond doubt. Coal Ball was not only massive and strong, but its defense was also at the top tier, making it nearly immune to almost any type of attack. More importantly, it could control ten thousand weapons—after devouring the essence of countless ancient weapons, its "Ten Thousand Weapons" talent had reached an unprecedented level. Most of the ancient weapons left in the Star-Sea world had been swallowed into Coal Ball's belly, showing how deep its foundation and combat strength truly were.
In a way, this was not just Coal Ball's own power, but a foundation forged by countless divine weapons over endless years.
As for Ji Qingyue, she was already one of the most talented cultivators in the Star-Sea world. The Myriad Law Celestial Physique was among the top tier of all special physiques, possessing incredible power. She had already awakened the Myriad Law Dao-Seed and could use the power of ten thousand paths with total mastery. With her assisting the Void-Aether Fish and Coal Ball from the rear, it was difficult for the demons' attacks to pose a threat.
Although the consumption was massive and the difficulty was not small facing the siege of a large number of demons, Ji Qingyue had already mastered her abilities and possessed sufficient Void Refinement combat experience to deal with such a situation. Thus, after a bitter struggle, Ji Qingyue and Coal Ball, with the cooperation of the Void-Aether Fish, safely annihilated all the Void Refinement demons.
The battle could have been easier, but because the black demon dragon had ignited the bloodlines of all the demons, significantly increasing their combat strength—and the Void Refinement demons were the primary targets of this ignition—it had resulted in such a difficult final battle.
Fortunately, Coal Ball's defense was extremely strong. Its consciousness and soul would not be affected until its massive physical body was completely destroyed. With Coal Ball holding the front line, Ji Qingyue, as the Myriad Law Celestial Physique, could mobilize ten thousand laws to assist at any time, both blocking attacks for it and helping it recover its state.
Under such tactical cooperation, even with the demons' combat strength exploding, they couldn't gain any advantage. Ultimately, they fell one by one, annihilated by the combined efforts of Coal Ball and Ji Qingyue!
Thus, after a difficult battle, the Void Refinement battlefield was won by the Star-Sea world! And there were zero casualties! The only ones who fell were the terrifying and hideous demon corpses.
The demons were capable of devouring myriad worlds; their inherent ability was beyond doubt. This was a calamity sweeping through the universe. Although this branch of the demons was only a small fraction, their combat strength was definitely not weak; they had slaughtered the lives of many powerful worlds.
The fact that Coal Ball and Ji Qingyue could defeat all these demons proved that they had truly achieved king-tier combat strength among the Void Refinement stage.
In this originally hopeless war, under such cruel tempering, the Star-Sea world had finally given birth to powerful kings with the strength and power to protect this world!
Ji Qingyue had also completely realized her own heart through this war, finding her own path. She began to truly control the power of the Myriad Law Celestial Physique, understanding and driving the physique from its origin rather than being a slave to it.
At the same time, this act held another layer of importance for her: while finding her own path, she had also completely overturned everyone's impression of her. Had she not turned the tide on the Void Refinement battlefield, the overall battle might not have been won; even Coal Ball might not have been able to withstand those demon kings whose combat strength had increased more than twofold.
"I'm finally back... the feeling of having a powerful world as a backer is indeed better!"
Having traveled alone in the void for so many years, she knew too well the difficulty of surviving in the void as a single individual. Facing that power of absolute void and spirit-rusting that could erode everything, even powerful cultivators appeared incredibly small.
In Qi Ping, she saw something she liked even more: the path of cultivation was not just about looting; creation was also a possible choice. Compared to killing each other for a bit of opportunity and destroying the foundation of the world, researching and stimulating the productivity of the entire world to the maximum was the right path. One could even research how to increase the level of the Star-Sea world; such a future was much more exciting.
After completely slaying the last Void Refinement demon, Ji Qingyue looked at the devastated land before her. However, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace and clarity in her heart, as well as an unprecedented strength! It was a feeling she had never experienced in the past.
Perhaps this was the significance of finding one's own path and home.
