There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping, who was watching the artifact cultivator, observed, with the help of the consciousness of a three-pattern divine technique envoy, that many fourth-realm star gods from Dao Palaces were gathering in this direction under the distant starry sky, including the fourth-realm star gods under the rule of Taiyan Sect.

Yu Lian also received the news from Wang Ping and immediately gathered the seven Rakshasa envoys of the Divine Kingdom. Through Wang Ping's teleportation network that spanned the starry sky, they appeared on the edge of the battlefield even earlier than the four realms of the Dao Palace Star Gods.

Meanwhile, the battle next to the ecological zone had entered its most intense phase, with a dark red storm boiling in the shattered spatial cage in the distance!

The barrier that attempted to solidify space was pierced by a dark red sword beam that shot from the core the moment it lit up at the edge of the storm. Then, the surface of the barrier was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and it shattered with a roar as the storm swelled.

The moment the crimson light tore through the spatial cage, three long-prepared killing moves descended.

The Star God with the 'Gravity Shattering' ability launched the first attack, pressing down with both palms and shouting, "Suppress!"

An invisible yet terrifying gravitational field descended instantly, like countless invisible shackles, tightly binding every inch of space around the cultivator, causing the air around him to solidify, light to bend, and even the movement of the dark red light to suddenly slow down.

At the same time, the Star God with the 'Evil Fire' ability was also casting a spell. He formed a hand seal, and a condensed emerald green fire line that could burn the void silently pierced through the space distorted by gravity and shot straight at the brow of the weapon cultivator who was temporarily imprisoned!

This line of fire not only contains the evil power to burn away the primordial spirit, but its timing is also incredibly precise, because at this moment the weapon cultivator is constrained by gravity, and the old power has just gone and the new power has not yet been generated!
Nevertheless, the Star God on the left, with his 'barrier' ability, immediately constructed a defensive barrier. Layer upon layer of rhomboid crystal shields, shimmering with spatial ripples, instantly unfolded in front of his two companions. At the same time, a flexible yet incredibly strong spatial membrane silently covered the Gravity Star God and the Evil Fire Star God, forming a second layer of close protection.

The weapon cultivator, trapped in the gravity swamp, saw the killing move approaching. Instead of fear, his crimson eyes erupted with an even more intense madness.

"Roar--"

A destructive roar echoed through the starry sky, like the howl of a wild beast.

Ignoring the deadly emerald fire, an even more frenzied consciousness emerged from the array of magical artifacts around him. A sword beam flashed across the sky in an instant, shattering the incoming emerald flames. But that wasn't all. The sword beam expanded across the entire sky in a flash, crushing down on the three star gods and their crystal shields!

The three star gods remained expressionless and reacted instantly.

As the Star God, with his gravity abilities, continued to press down with both hands, he created a distorted gravity fault in front of him. His figure transformed into a distorted light and shadow, instantly shifting hundreds of miles away from the core area and landing near the Golden Lotus where the Spirit Sect was located.

The Evil Fire God's body exploded with azure flames, transforming into a ghastly green line of fire that sped away at extreme speed, grazing the edge of the sky, its trajectory also reversing back towards the Spirit Sect.

The figure of the barrier star god blurred and disappeared on the spot, and the next moment it appeared behind the golden lotus of the spirit sect.

"boom--"

The sword light crushed the crystal shield of the starry sky into a giant crater, and continued to attack the starry sky where the Spirit Sect was located. The Star God of the Barrier once again set up a defensive barrier to intercept the incoming sword light.

At the same time, the weapon cultivator's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared to the side of Lingzong and the other three in an instant, and the long sword in his hand was already stabbing towards the Star God with the ability of 'Gravity Powder'.

The Star God was prepared. He suddenly clapped his hands together, and the space within a hundred miles instantly collapsed, forming a terrifying gravitational vortex. However, the weapon cultivator's attack did not stop at all. A sword beam slashed out, accurately striking the weakest point of the gravitational field, and the vortex collapsed with a bang.

The Star God, wielding the power of gravity-shattering, retreated rapidly while shouting, "Lock him up!"

The Star God of Barriers responded immediately. He formed hand seals with his ten fingers, and countless transparent barriers frantically stacked around the cultivator, cutting space into countless fragments in an attempt to trap him.

But the artifact cultivator didn't even glance at it. A spiraling sword beam shot out from the array of magical artifacts, piercing through all the barriers like a drill, heading straight for the throat of the barrier star god...

"How brave!"

With a fierce roar, the Evil Star God unleashed nine emerald green fire lines that shot out from the void, weaving into a net in an attempt to intercept the sword beam. However, the destructive power within the sword beam instantly tore the fire net apart, and its remaining momentum continued towards the Star God of the barrier.

"Dang~"

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

It was Lingzong who made the move. With a flick of his left hand, the surging golden spiritual energy transformed into a cold light, striking the sword light and shattering its attack.

Then, the Spirit Master on the golden lotus suddenly swelled, his pitch-black Dharma body appeared, and with a powerful push of his palms, twelve golden spirit giant swords suddenly condensed in the void. Each sword contained a sharpness capable of tearing apart stars, slashing at the weapon cultivator from different angles...

The weapon cultivator didn't dodge at all. The array of magical artifacts around his body operated wildly, and seventy-two dark red streams of light converged into a sword beam that swept across the starry river!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!—"

The Golden Spirit Greatsword shattered one after another, but the remaining power of its sword light did not diminish. It struck Ling Zong directly in the chest, but Ling Zong's expression remained unchanged. Suddenly, the Dharma body on the Golden Lotus shone brightly with golden light.

Another metallic clang rang out, the sword's edge vanished without a trace, but it unleashed an unparalleled energy surge that shifted the position of the surrounding ecological zone.

The crimson in the cultivator's eyes intensified, and dark red light around him twisted and swirled like a living thing. A heart-palpitating buzzing sound erupted from the magic weapon array. Then, the magic weapon array around him frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of the starry sky and simultaneously shot out three sword beams, which actually attacked the three star gods at the same time.

Upon seeing this, the Gravity Star God suddenly clasped his hands together, creating layers upon layers of gravity barriers in front of him. However, the sword light of the weapon cultivator had already arrived and, like a viper spitting its tongue, instantly pierced through the seven layers of gravity barriers, causing the Gravity Star God to hastily turn to the side. His right shoulder was still pierced by the sword light, revealing the layers of spiritual veins beneath his skin.

The Barrier Star God formed hand seals, and countless transparent barriers grew wildly between the weapon cultivator and his companions. Each barrier reflected distorted spatial ripples. A spiraling sword beam cut into the weakest point of the spatial structure at an odd angle. With the crisp sound of the barriers shattering one after another, the Barrier Star God groaned and staggered back, a penetrating wound already appearing on his left abdomen.

"Feng Tian!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Evil Fire God's emerald flames suddenly surged, transforming into nine ferocious fire dragons that lunged at the sword light attacking the weapon cultivator. The moment the two forces intersected, he dodged several feet to the left, then stared in disbelief at his lost left arm.

Lingzong's Golden Spirit Dharma Body had expanded to a hundred feet in size, with dense golden patterns appearing on his dark skin. He made a grasping motion with both hands, and a giant sword made entirely of Golden Spirit Qi slashed down from the sky. This sword strike seemed simple, but it actually contained the speed and tearing effects of the "Six Tribulations of the Golden Body" spell.

Faced with this earth-shattering attack, the weapon cultivator finally stopped in his tracks. His crimson eyes held a strange mix of madness and calm. The array of magical artifacts around him suddenly contracted, and all the dark red light flowed into the broadsword in his hand. As the sword trembled, a dark red line, condensed to its extreme, shot out.

"Zheng——"

The sound of metal clashing resounded through the starry sky. The moment the Lingzong's golden spirit giant sword collided with the dark red thread, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the sword's body. The thread continued its momentum, spreading upwards along the sword's body, and wherever it passed, the golden spirit energy dissipated.

Lingzong groaned, and several marks appeared on the right arm of his Dharma body, revealing the broken spiritual veins inside, from which golden spiritual bubbles continuously seeped out.

Seeing this, the three Star Gods disregarded their injuries and surrounded the cultivator again. The Gravity Star God slapped the void with both palms, creating a distorted gravity vortex to restrict the cultivator's movements; the Barrier Star God flicked his fingers, setting up a spatial cage like a net around the cultivator; and the Evil Fire Star God offered up his core fire seed, which transformed into a stream of emerald light that went straight for the cultivator's brow.

However, the weapon cultivator advanced instead of retreating, his madness and hatred intensifying. Several sword beams flashed past, breaking through the encirclement of the three Star Gods. Then, countless sword beams filled the sky, attempting to annihilate the three Star Gods. Just at this critical moment, seven brilliant starlight suddenly shone from the depths of the starry sky. Seven Star Gods of the Fourth Realm, dressed in the blue robes of the Dao Palace, broke through the air and arrived. The leader held an ancient bronze mirror, and wherever the mirror's light shone, the space rippled like water.

"seal up!"

The seven shouted in unison, and seven beams of starlight intertwined to form a net that enveloped the entire battlefield. The bronze mirror hung high in the sky, casting down a clear light that suppressed all things. The dark red light around the weapon cultivator was immediately halted, and even the operation of the magic weapon formation became slow.

But the next moment, the weapon cultivator's eyes turned crimson, and a beast-like growl came from deep in his throat.

"boom--"

The magical artifact formation suddenly reversed its rotation, and seventy-two dark red streams of light tore through the suppression of the clear light. The leading Dao Palace Star God's expression changed slightly, and the bronze mirror in his hand trembled violently.

Then, the seven people simultaneously made hand seals, and the gravitational field in the starry sky immediately twisted and changed.

"Suppression!"

Seven immense forces of gravity pressed down from different directions, causing the space to groan under their strain. Yet the weapon cultivator remained upright, grinning as he raised his broadsword. Suddenly, the sword disintegrated on its own, transforming into countless fine, dark red threads.

"go."

With a single, understated word, the dark red thread pierced through the gravity field as if it were alive, causing the gravity cages meticulously constructed by the Dao Palace Star Gods to crumble wherever it passed.

"How is this possible?" a Dao Palace Star God exclaimed in shock.

The seven of them cultivated the ability to shatter gravity together, and when they joined forces, they could even temporarily seal cultivators from the Xuanmen and Tianmen realms.

The artifact cultivators gave them no time to think. The dark red threads suddenly burst forth, shooting towards the seven people like a rainstorm. The Dao Palace Star God hurriedly changed his hand seals, setting up layers of gravity barriers in front of him. However, the threads seemed to have a spirit, finding weak points every time the barriers were formed.

"laugh--"

A thread pierced through the barrier, directly penetrating the palm of a Star God. The Star God's body trembled violently, and tiny cracks appeared in his spiritual form.

Seeing this, Lingzong's Golden Spirit Dharma Body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless golden needles that attacked the weapon cultivator from the side. The three heavily injured Star Gods also managed to regroup their magic power, with the three forces of Azure Fire, Gravity, and Barrier intertwining into a net.

Without turning his head, the weapon wielder swung his hand back, and half of the dark red silk threads suddenly rolled back, weaving into an impenetrable sword net in the air. The moment the golden needles hit the sword net, they made a crisp sound like rain hitting banana leaves, and were all shredded into golden dust.

The weapon cultivator suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. The array of magical artifacts around him trembled violently, and boundless sword light instantly spread across the starry sky. They had no target to attack; they were merely venting their frustration.

The seven Dao Palace Star Gods were well aware of the power of these sword beams, and immediately retreated a hundred miles. Ling Zong and the three injured Star Gods dared not be negligent.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Xiu soared into the sky, not to escape, but to frantically rush towards the nearest ecological zone.

"Stop him!"

Ling Zong's eyes were bloodshot with rage. As was the duty of the seven Dao Palace Star Gods, they immediately activated the bronze mirror, sending seven beams of starlight piercing through the air. But it was too late. The broadsword in the weapon cultivator's hand had already transformed into a thousand-foot-long blood-red beam, slashing fiercely down towards the ecological zone!

The outer barrier of the ecological zone shattered like an eggshell, and the violent sword light rushed straight in, splitting the continental plate in two. Magma from the earth's core gushed out, and countless creatures were reduced to ashes in the destructive sword intent before they could even scream.

"evil creature!"

Enraged, the Star God holding the mirror unleashed his power. The seven of them simultaneously used their abilities, and the bronze mirror suddenly split into seven faces, forming a seven-star formation that trapped the weapon cultivator in the center.

The artifact cultivator was completely unaware. He stared intently at the burning planet beneath his feet. The array of magical artifacts greedily devoured the aura of death, and the dark red light grew increasingly vivid, gradually becoming tinged with a strange black glow.

"It's time for you to go!"

A cool voice rang out in the cultivator's spiritual sea. Then, his consciousness felt a coolness, his mind regained some clarity, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the distant starry sky.

Under this starry sky, Yu Lian was surrounded by seven Rakshasa from the divine kingdom.

Then, the figure of the weapon cultivator decisively transformed into a blood-red meteor that streaked across the sky.

Upon seeing this, Lingzong's Golden Spirit Dharma Body roared in fury. The seven Dao Palace Star Gods simultaneously activated the bronze mirror, causing the gravity field of the entire star field to distort and deform, and then rapidly pursued the target in the distorted space.

Lingzong and the three Star Gods had no time to be angry. They immediately used healing spells to repair their injuries and then chased after the weapon cultivator in the direction he had fled.

This escape was destined for a bloody end from the very beginning.

Three months passed in the flash of the sword.

Although the escape route of the weapon repairman was illogical, he always managed to appear precisely in the ecological zone under the jurisdiction of the Vajra Temple, and each time he would completely destroy the ecological zone in a venting manner before the pursuers arrived.

He clearly came prepared, and his intention was to fight the Vajra Temple to the death.

Even Wang Ping had no choice but to order Xuan Ling and Que Cai, who were left behind by the Taiyan Sect, to come forward and join forces with the other cultivators from the Xuanmen and Tianmen sects to take down this unruly weapon cultivator.

With the help of cultivators at the fourth level of the Taiyan realm, this artifact cultivator was locked in a void of black and white starry sky in just ten hours.

The Jade Purity Sect made the first move, sending out Daoist Huaimo, who directly revealed his immortal body and created a Golden Core Universe domain to surround the starry sky where the cultivator was located.

However, they still underestimated the strength of the weapon cultivator. After a sword beam flashed, all the basic rules were disrupted, and the Golden Core Universe created by Huai Mo was pierced.

But when Qi Xiu was about to escape again, he found himself in an endless transfer network. Although his Qi Xiu formation was fierce, he would not be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation with these cultivators from the Xuanmen and Tianmen realms. But how could these people possibly fight him head-on?

And so, the situation remained deadlocked. (End of Chapter)
