There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

“Wei Ling no longer has a Star God Core in her body, but rather an energy source that can draw in demonic energy.” Xuan Qing’s voice rang in Wang Ping’s ears.

"The source of demonic energy is the fundamental element of extraterrestrial secret techniques," Bai Yan continued. "In the process of the destruction of the universe, nine sources of demonic energy were born, each corresponding to one of the nine life forms created by the two sages."

"You know?" Lieyang looked at Baiyan.

“There are some fragmented memories passed down, but they are not complete,” Bai Yan replied, then added, “My inherited memories come from my past life, which means they are not universal theorems, but rather the speculations of my predecessors.”

Upon hearing this, Lieyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Disaster has always been very close to us; we just haven't noticed it yet."

Xinghai's voice rang in Wang Ping's ears: "His speculation is correct. In the process of the destruction of the universe, the consciousness of countless beings became entangled and, over an immeasurable period of time, was transformed into the consciousness of destruction. Under the watchful eye of the Heavenly Dao's rules, they gradually became a reality."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping made a Taoist hand seal with his left hand and silently recited in his heart: "The sage is above."

Xinghai likely knows more about extraterrestrial life forms than most extraterrestrial beings. Unfortunately, before Wang Ping acquires this knowledge, he remains silent and is often in a state of deep thought, though it's unclear what he's pondering.

While they were talking, Diwen and Weiling did not rush to make a move.

Facing the heavy accusation that Diwen had put on him, Wei Ling calmly replied, "In the beginning, the universe was nothing but chaos. Before power was formed, how could there be Xuanmen, Tianmen, demon races, or spirit beasts? Since you have your power, the universe has entered an era of great destruction. It is the destruction of the universe that gave birth to the secret method I am cultivating now."

She extended her right hand and formed a hand seal. A solid black magic circle unfolded around her, and surging demonic energy immediately gathered around her. This demonic energy was no longer distorted and eerie; it became pure energy. However, this energy, once it appeared, autonomously disrupted the five elements and yin-yang rules of the starry sky.

Under Wang Ping's 'Heavenly Talisman's' gaze, the vast network of rules interwoven throughout the universe not only failed to connect with this power, but was instead corrupted and assimilated by it. However, during the assimilation, the power of the Destruction Rule was also weakening. If there were human intervention, this network of rules could also assimilate the 'Destruction Rule'.

Furthermore, Wang Ping discovered that the power within Wei Ling's body is currently unable to leave the demonic world constructed by the rebels, because the external order and rules are too powerful and would instinctively assimilate and destroy her existence.

"The fire spirit within me dislikes the power emanating from her." Lieyang's voice was filled with displeasure, and he seemed eager to step forward and fight Wei Ling in place of Diwen.

"If that's the case, I estimate that Wei Ling is cultivating the 'Extinction' demonic source, which corresponds to the fire spirit. It has a very obvious corrosive effect on the fire spirit, but this corrosion is relative. When your power is strong enough, you can also easily assimilate it."

Bai Yan explained in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Lieyang frowned slightly, clearly not believing that Wei Ling's cultivation level was sufficient to corrupt him.

Upon hearing Wei Ling's remarks, Di Wen, who was on the front lines, gathered his Xuanhuang Qi and said coldly, "In this starry sky, we are the rules. You... are nothing but a rebel, yet you dare to speak of the Great Dao."

Wei Ling was not angry. She politely clasped her hands and said, "Once we, the juniors, have cleaned up your so-called order, we will set the rules for this starry sky!"

"Unbelievable!"

Di Wen made a hand seal with his left hand and used his right hand to stop Bai Xin and Hou Ji, making them stand guard.

Wei Ling, on the other hand, took the initiative. She raised her fingertips slightly, and a black and white token floated in front of her. The black side shimmered with a ghostly light, while the white side was as ethereal as mist. As she slightly turned her wrist, the black token suddenly split into hundreds of pitch-black blades, which silently pierced towards Di Wen Zhenjun.

These sharp blades are formed from the source of the Extinction Demon. Wherever they pass, the rules of the starry sky are scorched, leaving behind charred and ethereal trails. Karma and causality entwine around the blades, and once they touch their target, they will ignite the opponent's foundation of Dao, burning it from the inside out.

This is the most basic characteristic of the 'Extinction' demonic source: it can burn a cultivator's cultivation level and foundation, and even burn karma when cultivated to the highest level.

Earthly True Monarch remained unmoved. The array beneath his feet slightly rotated, and the earth elemental energy surged like waves, condensing into nine layers of Xuanhuang barrier in front of him. Each layer of the barrier contained the 'devouring' property of the earth elemental energy. When the black blade pierced in, the demonic flames on the blade were worn away layer by layer by the earth elemental energy, and finally annihilated into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ling's white token suddenly lit up, and a wisp of smoke drifted out from it, winding around the earth spirit barrier like a snake, and directly attacking the brow of the Earth Script True Lord.

This smoke is formless and intangible, yet it can erode one's primordial spirit. Once it invades the spiritual platform, it is like a bone-deep carbuncle, difficult to remove.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Earthly True Lord revealed the 'Mountain-Suppressing Tower' in his palm. A flash of mysterious light appeared at the base of the tower, and a sudden gravitational impact erupted. Before the wisp of smoke could even get close, it was crushed by the invisible pressure and scattered into specks of black stars.

At the same time, Diwen Zhenjun made a hand seal with his left hand, and the array diagram under his feet suddenly expanded. The earth spirit barrier silently unfolded, covering the entire battlefield. The rules of the starry sky within the barrier were forcibly rewritten, and Wei Ling's demonic energy was like being trapped in a quagmire, with its circulation speed decreasing sharply.

With a light tap of her fingertip, Wei Ling caused the Extinction Demon Source to suddenly boil, transforming into a pitch-black sea of ​​fire. Wherever the flames licked, cracks appeared in the Earth Spirit Barrier.

"It's burning the rules, not the matter of the mortal world!"

Lieyang's tone was solemn.

The others did not respond; they were all focused on the battle at the front.

The flames Wei Ling unleashed at this moment did not burn physical objects, but instead burned the rules themselves. No matter how strong the earth-based barrier was, it was burned to the point of collapse.

A few breaths later, Earthly True Monarch snorted coldly, and the Mountain-Suppressing Pagoda soared into the air. Ten thousand streams of Xuanhuang Qi poured down from the top of the pagoda like a waterfall, forcefully suppressing the demonic flames. When the runes at the bottom of the pagoda lit up, the petrifying power spread, and the void beneath Wei Ling's feet began to solidify, turning into a hard rock layer, attempting to imprison her.

Wei Ling swayed slightly, the black and white tokens swirled and intertwined, and the black blade appeared again. This time, however, it did not strike the earth directly, but instead slashed at the space around her. The petrification power was forcibly severed where the blade passed, and then she was seen drifting away like smoke for thousands of miles, breaking free from the confinement range.

"Impressive cultivation level, it's a pity it shouldn't exist in this world!"

While praising Di Wen, his eyes blazed with boundless killing intent. Then, he formed hand seals, and the array beneath his feet suddenly contracted, transforming into a profound runic array that imprinted itself on the void. The next moment, the power of Di Wen's Reincarnation Realm was fully unleashed. The earth elemental energy of the entire starry sky, as if under a decree, transformed into billions of chains that intertwined into a net. Each chain contained the power of life and death sealing, and it coiled towards Wei Ling.

Wei Ling's eyes narrowed. The black and white tokens hung above her head. The black side shone brightly, and the Extinction Demon Source boiled like a sea, transforming into a black fire ring that spread outward. Wherever the fire ring passed, the earth spirit chains crumbled inch by inch and were burned into nothingness ashes. However, the chains constructed by the earth spirits were endless, and the expansion speed of the fire ring gradually slowed down.

Just as the chains were about to engulf Wei Ling, Diwen Zhenjun lightly tapped his fingertip, and the 'Dust Light Technique' array suddenly took shape. A sky full of black and yellow sand swept out, each grain of sand containing the corrosive power of the Life and Death Realm. It poured down on Wei Ling like a torrential rain. When the sand touched the demonic flames, it produced a sound like metal clashing with stone. Some of the sand grains were burned, but more penetrated the ring of fire and directly attacked Wei Ling's spirit body.

Wei Ling's figure suddenly became ethereal, and the characteristic of the Extinction Demon Source, "burning without scorching", was activated to the extreme. A layer of dark light membrane appeared around her. When the flying sand touched the light membrane, it was like falling into a swamp, and was eventually worn away by the demonic flames.

However, Diwen Zhenjun's offensive did not stop. He pressed down with his right palm, and the 'Suppressing Mountain Tower' continued to expand and crashed down. The runes at the bottom of the tower shone like the blazing sun. The sealing power of the Opening Meridian Realm erupted, and the entire void seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, causing the space around Wei Ling to solidify inch by inch, and even the flow of demonic flames became difficult.

Wei Ling snorted coldly, and the black and white tokens suddenly merged into one, transforming into a blade of annihilation. As the blade sliced ​​through, the solidified space shattered like a mirror. Her figure flickered, approaching Diwen Zhenjun like a ghost, and the blade aimed directly at the core of his spiritual vein.

Earthly True Lord neither dodged nor evaded, and the Reincarnation Seal silently unfolded. Nine Xuanhuang halos appeared around his body, each representing a layer of life and death cycle. The Blade of Annihilation pierced into the halos as if sinking into a quagmire, and the demonic flames on the blade were peeled away and dissolved layer by layer.

Wei Ling's spirit body trembled slightly, and the source of the Extinction Demon fluctuated violently, causing fine cracks to appear on the surface of her spiritual veins, from which wisps of black mist overflowed. She retreated rapidly, while activating the black and white tokens to protect her body, but the Earth Spirit Barrier of the Earth Script True Lord had already contracted again, blocking her retreat.

At this moment, the demonic flames around Wei Ling had been suppressed to within three hundred feet, and the power of the Extinction Demon Source had greatly diminished. Meanwhile, Diwen Zhenjun stood in the void, the array diagram beneath his feet rotating like a millstone, rapidly grinding away at her living space.

"Your newfound power has made you forget your sense of awe!"

The cold voice of the Earthly True Lord echoed under the starry sky. He was about to finish off Wei Ling in the next moment, but he suddenly looked up and used the Xuanhuang Qi to drag Bai Xin and Hou Ji away rapidly into the starry sky behind them.

Just as Earthly True Monarch retreated, Wei Ling's body suddenly erupted with dazzling black light, and the dormant Extinction Demon Source within her body was completely released. It was a crow condensed from pure rules of destruction.
Her appearance does indeed resemble a raven, and the black demonic energy emanating from her entire body, reflected by the starlight, makes her raven-like image even more fitting.

When she spread her wings, it was as if a rift was torn open across the sky, and dark red patterns flowed on her black wings, like lava flowing in an abyss. Each feather contained a terrifying power that burned the rules of life.

The crow raised its head, and three scarlet eyes slowly opened. Wherever its gaze fell, the rules of space melted like wax. It did not cry out, but the entire starry sky groaned under its presence, unable to bear the weight of its existence.

At the very moment the World-Burning Raven appeared, the sky was suddenly stained with an eerie black and red light, and countless streams of light spread through the veins of the starry sky, causing the stars to lose their color wherever they passed.

But then, a tall, slender figure appeared, stepping through the starry river. With each step, a dazzling aurora vortex bloomed beneath his feet. He was another cultivator who had switched to cultivating demonic energy, and his body was surrounded by a mesmerizing glow that could corrode the mind.

"It is the 'Bewitching Heart' demonic source, which corresponds to spirit beasts. They are most sensitive to the spirituality of the universe and stars, and are most likely to be the new darling of the Heavenly Dao."

Bai Yan reminded him again.

Wang Ping immediately used the 'Heavenly Talisman' to observe it. The appearance of this power caused countless spiritual beings to appear out of thin air in the world of inspiration. They gathered in front of this power, forming a gray magic array that covered most of the spiritual world on the border.

However, that was not the end of it. Suddenly, the border star field was plunged into an eerie twilight, changing unpredictably in the darkness, turning half of the battlefield into a magnificent picture of fiery clouds.

In this twilight, a towering figure walked slowly forward, carrying a giant blade wrapped in starlight on his shoulder. Wherever the blade sliced, it left behind a long-lasting, dazzling trail of light in the space, and the starry sky flickered with decaying cracks wherever it passed.

"This is the 'Erosion Edge' demonic source, which corresponds to the Golden Spirit Qi. I don't know anything else about it."

Bai's tone had become extremely solemn.

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence at that moment.

The raven's jet-black wings, the eerie figure stirring the world of inspiration, and the magnificent afterglow of twilight—three completely different demonic phenomena—divided the starry sky into three distinct yet mutually encroaching domains. Even the earth elemental energy of the Earth Script True Lord was suppressed and trembled slightly.

Bai Xin's snake-like pupils narrowed to slits, and Hou Ji's clone unconsciously took a half step back!

"We shouldn't have given them time to breathe!" Lieyang muttered to himself, clearly regretting not pressing his advantage after the battle with the alien planet.

"What's the use of saying all this now? This is clearly not something that can be accomplished in three hundred years. Yuanwu's intelligence is wrong. They may have been preparing long before the war even started!" Xuanqing remained extremely calm. After all, if it really came down to a battle of cultivation, the True Monarchs were not afraid of the rebels at all, not to mention they could also mobilize the rules of the starry sky.

"Their power of rules is not yet recognized by this starry sky, and they can only stay in the demonic world on the border for now!" Wang Ping reminded them softly.

Just as they were talking, the lotus platform beneath the feet of the Celestial Craftsman on the outer planet burst forth with billions of golden rays. As it rotated, it stirred up the golden spiritual energy of the entire star field, and a dazzling golden torrent surged out from the depths of the void. Wherever it passed, the suspended dust condensed into sharp phantom images of weapons.

In the blink of an eye, Master Tiangong appeared beside Diwen. The golden light around him suppressed the darkness of the starry sky, relieving the pressure on Diwen. Bai Xin and Hou Ji also revealed their true forms one after another, using secret techniques to try to dispel the destructive rules brought by the demonic source.

At this moment, the starry sky was divided in two by an invisible boundary.

Amidst raging demonic flames, Wei Ling, transformed into the World-Burning Raven, had three scarlet raven eyes that seemed to melt away like wax. The Bewitching Demon Cultivator was surrounded by twisted spirits, with aurora weaving a mesmerizing spiderweb beneath his feet. The wielder of the Corrupting Edge carried a giant star-shaped blade, the corrupting twilight flowing over its edge.

On one side, the Daoist magic was magnificent, and the Earthly True Lord stepped on the Nine Palaces Formation Diagram, with the Xuanhuang Qi transforming into a continuous mountain range; the Heavenly Craftsman's lotus platform was filled with golden light, and the phantoms of weapons rang out in the star space; Bai Xin manifested a ten-thousand-foot-long serpent body that coiled in the void, with dark light flowing between its scales; Hou Ji's clones formed a mirror killing array, and space folded and shattered around it.

At the central boundary, rules collided and were reborn. A demonic flame collided with the primordial energy, exploding into chaos that stretched for thousands of miles; a golden spear pierced into the twilight realm, stirring up brilliant starlight.

At this moment, the starry sky is like a fully drawn bow, as if the arrow will be released at any moment. (End of this chapter)
