Yuan Ming wasn't familiar with Daoist Huo Mei and the Blue Robed Beauty, but when Su Wu summoned Su Yingxue's clone, his heart started pounding.

That clone, whether in demeanor or in that elegant orchid-like aura, was identical to the Su Yingxue he knew, as if she was reborn.

As Su Yingxue and the two others appeared, they gracefully dispersed like dancing butterflies, each forming hand seals to assist Su Wu in refining the Forbidden Wood Pillar.

Their techniques were skillful and exquisite, clearly masters in the way of formations, and the refining methods they employed were unlike anything Yuan Ming had seen before.

Xi Ying let out a soft exclamation and whispered a reminder, "This is the number seven ranked 'One Qi to Three Pure Ones' divine skill from the Creation Heaven List, capable of summoning clones equal in strength to the original. You must be careful."

Yuan Ming's heart tightened, and he hurried to accelerate his refining speed.

With the addition of Su Yingxue and the others, Su Wu's refining speed greatly increased, and the array patterns refined by the black light expanded rapidly, soon surpassing Yuan Ming and beginning to erode the area he had previously refined.

Working together, their Mana was like a storm, slowly pushing Yuan Ming's Mana out.

In just a moment, the area Yuan Ming had refined was compressed to only a quarter of its size, while the area refined by Su Wu had already taken over the majority.

Yuan Ming, anxious, desperately searched for a solution.

However, in terms of numbers, cultivation, or refining technique, he was clearly at a disadvantage, seemingly with no way out.

"If that's the case, then I can only take a risk!" A trace of determination flickered in Yuan Ming's eyes.

He activated the roots of the Undying Tree, attempting to refine the inner part of the Forbidden Wood Pillar.

As soon as the roots touched the pillar, a dense wave of wood qi from the World Tree rushed towards him.

Before Yuan Ming could actively absorb it, the wood qi poured along the roots into his Dantian, infusing the body of the Undying Tree.

In an instant, it was as if thunder exploded within Yuan Ming's Dantian, and all the roots of the Undying Tree uncontrollably pierced the void, delving deep into the Forbidden Wood Pillar.

Streams of pure and abundant wood qi from the World Tree frantically surged in, infusing the Undying Tree.

The color of the Undying Tree's body rapidly changed, and the last small portion began transforming into the World Tree, with an invisible wave emanating from within the Forbidden Wood Pillar.

Su Wu seemed to sense something but paid it no mind, continuing to focus all his efforts on refining the forbidden area.

Jie Cha cast a fleeting glance at Yuan Ming but took no action.

With the support of Su Yingxue's three clones, Su Wu's progress in refining the pillar proceeded steadily.

As for Yuan Ming, due to constant encroachment, the area he had refined was dwindling, making it difficult even to contend with Su Wu.

At this moment, however, Yuan Ming's attention was entirely focused on the body of the Undying Tree within his Dantian.

As the surging wood qi from the World Tree rushed in like a river, the last bit of black bark on the Undying Tree was gradually washed away, transforming into an ash-green color under this power.

The entire Undying Tree, at this moment, seemed to undergo a rebirth akin to Phoenix Nirvana, transforming completely into a brand-new World Tree, standing proudly within Yuan Ming's Dantian, emanating vibrant vitality.

The moment the World Tree was formed, a vigorous and immense vitality surged within Yuan Ming's Dantian.

This vitality spread like a spring breeze over the earth, making his Mana seem somewhat uncontrollable, as a layer of dazzling green spirit light enveloped him, as if shrouded by a mysterious green veil.

At the same time, nourished by the origin power of the World Tree, his Mana became increasingly vigorous, as if infused with new vitality.

His previously slow refining speed suddenly surged, successfully resisting Su Wu's erosion.

Su Wu sensed the sudden backlash of Yuan Ming's Mana, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.

He remained unperturbed, joining his three clones in exerting their full strength, and immediately subdued the momentum that Yuan Ming had just gained.

Meanwhile, the formations refined by the three Array Master clones also completed their final linkage at this moment.

Their Mana poured down like a storm, pressuring Yuan Ming's Mana to retreat step by step.

In just a few breaths, the area Yuan Ming had initially controlled was largely occupied by black Mana.

On the entire Forbidden Wood Pillar, seven or eight-tenths of the area were already covered by Su Wu's black Mana, leaving only a small space under Yuan Ming's control, tenaciously shimmering with green light, struggling against the advance of Su Wu's four.[/p]

In the eyes of others, Yuan Ming appeared to be at the end of his rope, a foregone defeat.

But at this moment, Yuan Ming's face showed no sign of defeat; instead, there was a confident smile on his lips.

His eyes shone with an emerald light, and the World Tree within his Dantian swayed gracefully, releasing rings of silver-white light that rippled out in all directions.

These lights contained intense spatial ripples, as if capable of tearing the void and creating a new world.

"Condense!"

Yuan Ming's hands made a virtual grip, and he uttered a low shout.

In an instant, a massive silver light domain appeared out of thin air, enveloping a vast area with Yuan Ming at the center.

The Forbidden Wood Pillar was enveloped by the silver light domain, isolating Su Wu and his three spiritual clones outside, unable to pose any more threat to Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming nodded with satisfaction, for this was precisely the unique ability of the World Tree—space creation.

As the transformation in the dantian space of the World Tree completed, he immediately sensed this miraculous ability.

The World Tree contained space characteristics, with roots that could absorb space power from void turbulence, thus forming a space uniquely its own.

If time permitted, this space could even evolve into an entirely new world.

Before Su Wu and the others could react, a layer of space power pushed them away, completely severing their connection with the Forbidden Wood Pillar, unable to see what's inside.

Yuan Ming, using the power of the World Tree, successfully turned the tide of battle, earning himself valuable time for a counterattack.

"What kind of divine skill is this?"

Su Yingxue's clone showed a look of surprise, gently flicking a finger, and suddenly, a massive purple thunder array materialized out of thin air, covering the silver light domain as if it were something from beyond.

Inside the array, blinding streams of Lei Guang circulated, seemingly capable of tearing through void space.

Jie Cha observed the scene and spoke calmly: "You may compete in refinement but must not assault each other; otherwise, you'll be expelled from the Three Realms Immortal Boat!"

His words, though peaceful, carried undeniable authority.

Su Wu's eyes subtly shifted, scanning around, then returned to calm, seemingly unbothered by Jie Cha's warning.

Su Yingxue again formed seals, and hundreds of purple lightning bolts as thick as bowls suddenly fell, each flashing a strong aura of Destruction Thunder.

These purple bolts came together to form a Thunder Forest, roaring and bombarding the silver light domain.

The silver light domain merely trembled slightly, as if protected by an invisible force, showing no signs of fragmenting.

Yuan Ming was not surprised by this, as he understood the mysteries of the silver light domain.

This was not a simple barrier but another entrance to the void space, its toughness incomparable to the silver barrier summoned by a boarding order.

Unless there were divine skills capable of breaking the void, this silver light domain could not be penetrated.

Red Eyebrow Taoist and Blue Robed Beauty also acted, their attacks simple yet direct, each releasing a massive fireball and a massive water sphere.

The fireball blazed fiercely, seeming capable of burning all things; the water sphere emitted a chilling aura, as if freezing space-time.

These two massive energy spheres emanated intense power of Dao fluctuations, especially the fireball, within which a figure stood, dressed in a fiery red emperor robe, donning a Flat Heavenly Crown, exuding boundless momentum.

Nearby fire attribute nature's spiritual energy gathered madly, as if worshiping the fire emperor.

"This is the Fire Emperor True Intent! The supreme true intent within the fire attribute, its power surpasses the Illusion Sun True Intent of the Xi He Tablet! The silver light domain may not withstand it!" Xi Ying quietly remarked from the side, in caution.

Yuan Ming's gaze flickered, his ten fingers continuously moving, seemingly performing some divine skill.

Suddenly, the silver light domain blended into the void, vanishing without a trace as if it never appeared.

The massive fireball and water sphere missed and hit the altar, causing it to quake violently as if about to fly off.

At this moment, rays of green light appeared on the ground nearby, these green lights seemingly acting as a stabilizing force, quickly restoring the altar's stability.

Su Yingxue, Red Eyebrow Taoist, and Blue Robed Beauty all showed expressions of surprise, as did the ones below.

They never imagined Yuan Ming could possess such methods, disappearing into thin air, evading their attacks.

Su Wu frowned, fingers brushing across his brow, a white mark emerged.

White beams shot out from the mark, moving with apparent sentience, wandering in the void, like an eye scanning the surroundings.

He was searching for Yuan Ming's whereabouts, trying to locate the silver light domain.

Meanwhile, in the void turbulence, the silver light domain hovered quietly, seemingly isolated from the world.

Yuan Ming and the Forbidden Wood Pillar were brought along, placed within this silver void, as if entering another world.

"The World Tree actually possesses such divine skills, truly worthy of being the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Trees." Xi Ying smiled joyously, praising highly.

Yuan Ming remained silent, focusing all mana on refining the Forbidden Wood Pillar with utmost concentration.

He understood well that while the silver light domain could retreat to void turbulence, it might not remain undisturbed for long, as Su Wu had numerous methods, possibly finding a way to locate him.

Previously, Su Wu had nearly completed the refinement of the entire wood pillar, and though the silver light domain now isolated Su Wu and others' mana, their mana still resided within the pillar, not dissipated.

Yuan Ming steadily expelled the mana from Su Wu and the others while carefully completing the refinement, progressing steadily but not swiftly.

He recalled Su Wu's earlier use of the One-Qi-to-Three-Pure-Ones divine skill, his heart stirred, and he waved his sleeve.

Four spirit beans flew from his sleeve, landing nearby, flashing with spirit light before transforming into four spiritual clones of Yuan Ming, identical to the clones Su Wu had just summoned, and began assisting in refining the wood pillar.
