This was an earth-shattering bloody battle!
Even though the demon race was barely repelled under the joint efforts of Qi Ping's group and the Qing-God Army, it was only because these High-Rank demons were unwilling to lose their lives for this. What they were best at was using the boundless, death-defying low-level demons to sweep through and invade everything within a world!
Therefore, with these High-Rank demons determined to escape through the void tunnel, even if Qi Ping and the Qing-God Army exerted their full strength, they could not completely block the demons fleeing toward the tunnel.
In just a short moment, Qi Ping and the Life-Death Dao Lord Meng Tianqi suffered heavy injuries from the deathbed struggles of some demons.
Particularly the self-detonation of some High-Rank Void Refinement demons; even the Three-Powers Formation could not completely block all these attacks.
In just a few rounds of attacks, Qi Ping's and Meng Tianqi's physical bodies had cracked apart countless times. If not for the fact that they had prepared enough healing honey, their combat power would have already been greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the power of some demons was too bizarre, like maggots on a bone that could not be shaken off in the short term, constantly eroding and weakening the power of the physical body and the spirit-soul. Poison and illusion-type effects were merely the simplest among them.
The Little Stone Spirit's injuries were even more disastrous.
Its massive body was blown full of pits and hollows, and countless stones that formed its body were shattered.
Most of the powerful Military Conquest runes on its body had turned dim, losing their original strength.
For a Void-grade lifeform to be injured to such an extent, one could imagine the terrifying intensity the war had reached in a short time. If not for the defensive effect of the Three-Powers Formation, even the Little Stone Spirit might not have been able to endure.
This was also the horror of a Void Refinement level battlefield; bizarre methods emerged one after another, and a single move often meant the difference between life and death!
If fighting one-on-one, the difficulty of killing each other would increase, but on this war-scale, no one knew how many attacks would land on them in the next moment. If one encountered a power that countered them, they would be even more likely to die without a grave.
Soon, Qi Ping and the other two reached their limits, and demons constantly bypassed them to charge into the void tunnel.
On the other side, the state of the Qing-God Army was also not optimistic.
Many of them were originally at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages. Although there were many Nascent Soul cultivators, they did not occupy the mainstream. After launching several consecutive attacks, the spiritual energy in their bodies rapidly hit rock bottom.
However, this was not the most serious issue. The depletion of spiritual energy could be supplied by Spirit-Replenishing Pills; everyone carried a sufficient amount of them.
The most serious problem was the powerful pressure and burden the Qing-God Immortal-Slaying Formation placed on the spirit-soul and physical body!
This formation was indeed powerful, but it was not without a price. The load on the spirit-soul and physical body far exceeded any other type of formation.
Thus, after the "Qing-God General" phantom launched several attacks, soldiers began to faint, unable to bear it.
One must know that every soldier of the Qing-God Army was a genius chosen from a thousand, with a deep foundation incomparable to those of the same rank. Even these paragons could not endure it, showing just how massive the pressure and burden brought by the Qing-God Immortal-Slaying Formation were.
Faced with this situation, Qi Ping had no choice but to use a soul transmission to stop the Qing-God Army from continuing their attacks, shifting them instead into a defensive state.
Because if they continued to attack, many soldiers would suffer irreparable damage!
This situation was absolutely not allowed to happen.
Because the Qing-God Army was one of the most critical factors in whether this upcoming world-domain war could be won.
This role was something Qi Ping and his animal companions could not replace—even half of them could not compare.
What was the most terrifying aspect of the demon race in a world invasion? One of the most terrifying points lay in those endless low-level demons. Besides their low intelligence and lack of fear of death, their physical bodies and foundations were not at all weaker than cultivators of the same rank.
Even the weakest demon would be stronger than an ordinary cultivator.
Therefore, when the world wills converged and the world-domain battlefield was formed, the endless quantity of low-level demons would frantically carry out the slaughter of living beings and destroy the world's interlaced power points.
Faced with this situation, even Qi Ping's massive swarms of Golden Marrow Bees were powerless.
So after the world-domain war began, in that super-war that resembled a meat grinder, Qi Ping could only rely on the Qing-God Army, the Star-Sea Academy, and the Star-Sea Mercenaries. Among these three forces, the Qing-God Army had the smallest numbers, but it was still the most important side.
Capable of fighting ten against one, they combined the military battle formations they had practiced countless times and needed to take on the responsibility of facing the violent demons that far surpassed them in number and cultivation.
This would be an incomparably difficult war, and the Qing-God Army would also need to bear the enemies' most violent and frantic culling.
Under Qi Ping's command, the Qing-God Army stopped.
More and more High-Rank and Middle-Rank demons bypassed Qi Ping's line of defense.
They flew toward the void tunnel like locusts, fleeing here while braving the threat of the Unity stage lightning tribulation.
As the number of demons grew large enough, the advancement tribulation of the Demon Blade Baili Yun also strengthened to a limit, making it impossible to kill a large number of demons in a short time.
Thus, in such a situation, many demons with energy to spare launched their strongest attacks at Baili Yun before plunging into the void tunnel.
They were currently wishing for Baili Yun to die. If not for Baili Yun killing the Thousand-Eyed Troll, they would not have fallen to such a state.
Baili Yun's danger level suddenly surged!
Faced with this situation, both Qi Ping and Meng Tianqi had the intention to help, but they were powerless. They themselves were in a state of heavy injury, so how could they erupt with power to assist?
Most importantly, once they appeared near Baili Yun, they would be targeted by the Unity stage lightning tribulation. This would not only fail to help but might also cause chaos.
Those demons dared to enter that range because they could cross the void tunnel into the chaotic currents of the Boundary Sea, where the lightning tribulation would find it difficult to hunt them.
Although Qi Ping and the others could adopt this method, what was the difference between following the demons into their headquarters and seeking death?
At this moment, Baili Yun could only rely on himself.
Most importantly, this was Baili Yun's own choice—to enter the most dangerous breakthrough impasse via the most dangerous breakthrough path.
A breakthrough candidate possessing such audacity had not appeared in the cultivation world for many years.
But if Baili Yun could succeed in his breakthrough, not only would it bring unimaginable benefits to the Star-Sea Continent, but he himself would become world-famous. A demonic cultivation genius rarely seen in a thousand years would echo through the myriad realms!
If he could break through.
In just a short moment, under the power of the demons and the golden lightning tribulation, Baili Yun's physical body and spirit-soul shattered into countless fragments in a short period!
Baili Yun's aura also instantly weakened to the extreme, and his will almost completely dissipated.
But strangely, the lightning tribulation in the sky did not stop, but continued!
Because although Baili Yun's physical body and spirit-soul had already dissipated, the demonic nature permeating the entire world remained violent and intense...
