There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Jupiter.

At the Taiyan Sect's headquarters, Li Miaolin, Miaoqing, Quecai, Tongyu Daoist, Ke Yue, and Luo Feng gathered in front of the Guizhen Hall. There were also dozens of core disciples of the Third Realm and thousands of disciples of the Side Sects at the Third Realm. There were also thousands of flying boats gathered at the nearby port.

However, they did not take action because Wang Ping's orders to them were to suppress all troublemakers who disrupted the order of the Dao Palace.

That's right, they weren't targeting the Vajra Temple, the Underground Gate, or the True Yang Sect, but rather preventing anyone from taking advantage of the True Lords' conflict.

As purple lightning streaked across the starry sky, Li Miaolin's disciple, Daoist Mingxing, flashed a streak of light and landed in front of the steps of the Guizhen Hall. He cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Master, the monitoring arrays in all ecological zones, including all the outposts on Zhongzhou Star, have been activated. As long as there are energy fluctuations exceeding the third realm, we can immediately detect them."

As he finished speaking, the token in his hand emitted a faint blue glow, and then he continued, "The monitoring array we secretly set up near the Demon Star is now reacting, and it's a fluctuation of energy from the fourth realm."

Mingxing spoke quickly, his voice tinged with worry and fear about the current state of the cosmos.

Just as Li Miaolin was about to speak, a streak of purple lightning flashed across the outer reaches of Jupiter's orbit, colliding with the Buddha's light in the starry sky. The resulting impact instantly spread to Jupiter and the surrounding ecological zone.

First came the light.

The ultimate light.

This light instantly swallowed up all other light in the starry sky, illuminating Jupiter and all the ecological zones in its orbit in a ghastly white light. All shadows were forcibly dispelled, and everything lost its original color, leaving only this destructive pure white.

Then came a torrent of energy.

It was silent yet possessed a destructive power that was substantial; the shockwave swept across Jupiter's orbit almost in the blink of an eye.

“Buzz——!!!”

The mirror arrays that Wang Ping had set up in advance at various points in Jupiter's orbit were activated to their limits at the same time, and the layers of spacetime images formed a huge barrier in front of Jupiter.

The barrier easily blocked the aftershocks of the two True Lords' power, while Li Miaolin and the others below the barrier could only watch helplessly. The people from various ecological zones had already entered the nearby Taoist temples under the coordination of the Taiyan Sect disciples, and knelt around Wang Ping's golden statue, praying softly.

Just then, the aura emanating from the token in Mingxing's hand suddenly intensified, clearly indicating that someone was transmitting a message to him. He forcibly shifted his gaze from the intense light surrounding the mirror array and reported to Li Miaolin, "The energy reaction of the demon star has reached its limit."

Miao Qing then said, "It seems that, just as True Monarch predicted, a large-scale rebellion has broken out within the demon race, with even many demons at the Core Formation stage participating in it."

The moment she finished speaking, the sun high above all living beings in the depths of the starry sky suddenly began to boil without warning!
In an instant, a blinding light descended upon Jupiter. At that moment, it was as if a pair of invisible giant hands had grasped the most violent energy source in the universe, forcibly squeezing out the light and heat that had been steadily released for billions of years in a near-destructive manner, and then spraying it out into the starry sky!

A vast and intensely white light, beyond description, instantly surpassed the limits of most people's perception, piercing through the starry sky in a flash. It was no longer a source of warmth and life, but transformed into a torrent of pure destruction.

At this moment, all things fell silent, and all colors faded away.

On the outskirts of Zhongzhou Star, the magic arrays set up by the True Lords were activated immediately. From a distance, they looked like layers of solid material barriers that blocked the heat of the light, but the barriers were melting at a visible speed.

Just as the destructive pure white beam of light was about to completely melt through the layers of protective arrays surrounding Zhongzhou Star, turning the star into scorched earth, a beam of emerald light came from the direction of the sun.

At first, it was as thin as a hair, almost invisible in the pure white frenzy that filled the universe, but the next moment it expanded and spread at a speed that defied common sense, like a seed rooted in the void that grew into a towering tree that supported the starry sea in a fraction of a second!
Wherever the azure light passed, the violent and scorching sunlight became docile and obedient, and the extreme light and heat were forcibly neutralized by the vast and boundless life force.

This is Wang Ping's aura, a manifestation of the characteristics of the Wood Spirit's rules!
Subsequently, the 'corrosive' property of the Wood Spirit's rules spread out, breaking down the excessively violent energy into the most basic energy particles, while the 'space' property gently but firmly pushed away the remaining destructive energy, and the 'time' property's flowing light entwined the starry sky, making this emerald light seem to have existed since time immemorial, and also seem to stand eternally in the future.

At this moment, all living beings below the Five Realms lowered their heads and prayed to their respective True Lords, begging for a swift end to the battle.

Near the Sun at the core of the starry sky.

Wang Ping, born in the Wood Spirit World, gazes at Lie Yang, who has transformed into a golden crow, as an energy storm rages from the collision of fire spirit energy and Jupiter's energy.

A vast, verdant world stretching for tens of thousands of miles, like a perfect emerald growing under the starry sky, floats on the edge of this infernal land. This is the Wood Spirit World that Wang Ping has unfolded.

The interior is filled with boundless vitality and evolution. The enormous phantom of the Jianmu tree is layered upon each other, and life sap flows between its branches and leaves. Countless vines meander and swim like jade dragons, stirring up the purest wood spirit energy. There are also strange phenomena of blooming flowers and withering and flourishing plants, which are born and die in an endless cycle.

In stark contrast to this vibrant world was the Golden Crow true form of the Blazing Sun True Lord. He drew upon a portion of the sun's power, and his enormous size was engulfed in crimson flames of destruction!

Between the two lies a starry sky in complete turmoil!

The raging torrent of fire spirits and the vast and boundless wood spirit energy collided, eroded, and annihilated each other. On one side was extreme destruction, and on the other was infinite vitality. The space at the edge of the collision between the two forces was like fragile glass, constantly breaking, repairing, and breaking again, revealing the bizarre and chaotic dimensional currents beneath.

Wang Ping stood at the center of the Wood Spirit World, the towering phantom of the Jianmu tree behind him unmoving, merging seamlessly with the entire Wood Spirit World. His gaze was calm and profound, as if the collision before him, capable of destroying galaxies, was merely a gentle breeze. Five talismans around him slowly rotated, mobilizing the immense power of the entire Jupiter's rules, rivaling the power of the sun.

The golden crow, formed from the blazing sun, let out a piercing shriek that shook the starry sky. With a flap of its wings, it unleashed a raging storm of flames that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, frantically crashing against that seemingly gentle yet indestructible emerald world.

At this moment, Wang Ping did not use his full strength. It was not that he deliberately held back his strength, but that he needed to devote some energy to preventing the Dragon King's methods, while also constantly deducing the future secrets of heaven to ensure that the game was under his control.

At this moment, Yu Lian, who was perched on his sleeve, said to Wang Ping, "The news from the Star God Alliance is that, apart from Zang Yi, Yue Xi, Zhi Xin, and Pei Daoren who firmly stand on your side, the other five Star Gods, including those who previously defected from the rebels, have all pledged allegiance to the Dragon Lord. The Star God Alliance is now in complete chaos." As if to confirm Yu Lian's words, in the direction of the Star God Alliance's headquarters in the Central Continent Star, streaks of brilliant light, like shooting stars, streaked across the sky, appearing quite beautiful from afar. These streaks of light were all converging towards Jupiter, and at the same time, the aura of the Earthly True Lord was also converging towards Jupiter.

Meanwhile, Zang Yi, Yue Xi, Zhi Xin, Pei Daoren, and Niu Pan were stopped by Bai Xin, Hou Ji, Zhu Wu, and Wang Xuan. The two sides had already fought near Da Luo Xing, and judging from their fighting condition, it seemed that no one could be determined in a short time.

Their fighting was chaotic, and the civil war among the demon race on the demon star was even more chaotic, even showing signs of spreading to the Great Luo Star. What was even more deadly was that the Dao Palace allied forces at the front line collapsed in the battle between the cultivators of the five realms. The defenses that had been held for hundreds of years collapsed at this moment. The eight bronze towers that had lost the protection of the five realms were swallowed up by demonic energy in an instant.

Wang Ping's state of 'self-discipline' only fluctuated for a moment. He stared at the blazing sun and said coldly, "Is all of this what you wanted?"

The raging sun's consciousness surged violently, flames churning around the Golden Crow's physical body. Its voice, carried by the rolling flames, reached Wang Ping's ears: "This is my choice. I will maintain everything I possess, and no one can take it from me, even if this entire starry sky is destroyed because of it!"

"You look too high on yourself!"

Wang Ping looked towards Mercury. A gray-white spatial turbulence was unfolding on the outer edge of the Wood Spirit World. He decided to finish the battle quickly. Since the Dragon Lord had not yet shown himself, he would force the Dragon Lord to reveal himself.

At this moment, the last trace of hesitation in his rational consciousness completely dissipated, replaced by absolute rationality as cold as eternal ice. Among the five talismans slowly rotating around him, the most ancient 'Heaven-Stealing Talisman' suddenly shone brightly!
"Om-"

A mysterious and profound fluctuation of rules spread out from Wang Ping, like an invisible hand quietly reaching into the close energy connection between the golden crow formed by the blazing sun and the sun.

Lieyang suddenly felt a pang of fear. He discovered that the connection between himself and the enormous sun behind him had become obscure and sluggish!
Furthermore, the once readily available solar fire now seemed to be bound by an invisible shackle, making it extremely difficult to use.

What shocked him even more was that the core structure of the fire spirit rules contained in his Golden Crow body was being forcibly analyzed and stripped away by an external force!
The golden crow, formed from the blazing sun, let out a shrill cry of alarm and anger, its wings flapping wildly as it tried to gather even more powerful flames.

But Wang Ping gave him no chance at all. Under his full power, the Wood Spirit World expanded with a roar. Its boundaries were no longer the soft emerald green, but transformed into countless giant corrosive vines that grew wildly, twisted and entangled!

These vines, like ferocious beasts that have been thirsty for millions of years, actively rushed towards the blazing white torrent of fire spirits.

Chi Chi Chi -!
A sickening corrosive sound instantly resounded through the starry sky. The raging flames, powerful enough to incinerate stars, collided with these emerald vines as if they had met their nemesis. Their violent energy was rapidly decomposed by the corrosive aura flowing from the surface of the vines, turning into the most basic energy particles, which were then greedily absorbed by the vines.

The blazing sun roared, and the Golden Crow's true form suddenly contracted, its extreme light and heat condensing inward, attempting to summon a terrifying explosion powerful enough to form a spacetime black hole.

However, a blue light flashed gently from the fingertip of Wang Ping's Wan Tong Talisman.

The next moment, the extremely unstable explosive energy that had just gathered around Lieyang was instantly defined and rewritten!
The destructive energy cluster on the surface of the Golden Crow, which was about to explode, strangely transformed into a vibrant and life-giving green halo, even sprouting several tender buds that grew rapidly among its feathers!
At this moment, Lieyang's consciousness was filled with absurdity and horror. His magic and his rules had been so easily altered and used by Wang Ping. This was obviously the result of the other party's cultivation level far exceeding his own.

"Your madness ends here."

Wang Ping's voice pierced the storm of energy with icy coldness. The illusory voice of Xinghai appeared as his words fell, clearly to prevent the Dragon Lord from suddenly attacking while Wang Ping was fully focused.

Then Wang Ping raised his hand, and the ten-thousand-foot-tall Jianmu phantom behind him merged with his own body, and the power of the entire Wood Spirit World gathered at his fingertips.

Then, a highly refined, needle-like emerald light shot out from Wang Ping's fingertip.

Ignoring spatial distance, it pierced through the boiling energy storm, upon which was the ultimate manifestation of the Wood Spirit's rules. The vastness of the 'Life' characteristic endowed it with an indestructible foundation; the annihilation of the 'Corrosion' characteristic condensed its sharpness; the 'Space' characteristic allowed it to ignore all obstacles; and the flowing light of the 'Time' characteristic entwined it, locking onto every possible evasive position in the past, present, and future.

The golden crow, formed from the blazing sun, let out a sharp cry. It gathered all its power in front of it, forming a fiery shield that was so intensely white that it was indescribable. The 'Nirvana' property flowed wildly across the surface of the shield.

At this moment, Wang Ping sensed the future suppression and sealing of the blazing sun.

The victory seemed to come somewhat suddenly, and Long Jun had no intention of making a move, which made Wang Ping a little unsure. Nevertheless, Wang Ping could not give up the victory that was within his grasp.

Immediately afterwards, the emerald green needles collided with the blazing white shield. There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely soft "poof" sound.

The needle tip instantly emitted endless emerald light, covering the scorching starry sky and concealing the golden crow's physical body formed by the blazing sun. Immediately afterwards, another wood spirit world appeared, from which countless vines with wood spirit runes carved on their surfaces grew and wrapped around the blazing sun's golden crow body.

Ignoring the destructive flames on the Golden Crow's body that burned everything, the vines quickly decomposed and neutralized the outermost layer of raging fire spirit. Then, like cold shackles with life force, the vines tightly gripped the Golden Crow's burning feathers, claws, and even every inch of its condensed energy body.

"Wow—!"

The Golden Crow let out a shriek of extreme resentment and anger. Its massive body struggled and twisted wildly as it was entangled by countless emerald vines with flashing runes. Each struggle caused the surrounding space to tremble violently as it tried to unleash its last bit of solar true fire to break free from its restraints.

However, every time it exerts its power, the runes on the vines that wrap around it light up for a moment, decomposing, absorbing, and devouring all the terrifying energy it unleashes.

The vines tightened more and more, like a giant python completing its final strangulation, and the emerald light completely covered all the flames on the Golden Crow's body.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous golden crow that had drawn upon the power of the sun transformed into a giant cocoon tightly wrapped in countless emerald vines.

This is a sealing method that Wang Ping developed when he first entered the country. The reason he used sealing methods is because the blazing sun near the sun is almost immortal.

Seeing the trapped Lieyang, and confirming that he was entangled, Wang Ping separated a portion of his consciousness to observe Mercury. The Dragon Lord remained motionless. However, in that instant, inside the vine-wrapped cocoon, the Golden Crow's body transformed into pure, solid flames, and simultaneously, a frenzied and explosive consciousness emerged from within.
