Virtual World Network, a mysterious place, the fifth planet, "Neutron Star."

Xu Jingming stood in the area covered by a protective shield, unaffected by the harsh environment of the Neutron Star's gravity and temperature, quietly experiencing the constant improvement of his body.

"This is allowing me to experience each stage of body enhancement for seventh-order star life and eighth-order star life in advance." Xu Jingming's mental awareness could feel every cell constantly growing stronger.

The energy contained within the cells also became increasingly terrifying.

Improve, improve, and improve again!

As the cells grew stronger and possessed more and more cosmic energy, reaching a certain limit—

"Boom!"

Finally, that limit was broken through.

His body also ushered in a qualitative change!

"This is an eighth-order star life?" Standing within the range of the protective shield, Xu Jingming's entire body uncontrollably emitted light, his hair stood on end, and a terrifying aura uncontrollably impacted the surroundings.

At this moment, Xu Jingming was like a man-made star! As if he would explode at any moment!

This also meant that Xu Jingming could not restrain his own power.

"'The flesh is energy, and energy is flesh.'" Xu Jingming clearly felt the state of his body at this moment.

After a planet life advances to a star life, every cell in the body hides cosmic energy. Releasing cosmic energy can destroy everything in all directions.

Star life is divided into four stages: initial stage, middle stage, high stage, and perfection! In the first three stages, the physical body continues to become stronger, and the cosmic energy contained in each cell becomes more and more enormous.

But the last stage, "star life perfection," is the complete energy transformation of the physical body. The terrifying physical body can be transformed into energy, and vast energy can also be transformed into the physical body.

Energy transformation! Is a characteristic of eighth-order star life.

Only by reaching this step can the physical body exist stronger, and the lifespan reach ten thousand years!

Only with "energy transformation" can one walk on a neutron star!

"One must have a sufficiently powerful mental awareness to perfectly guide the physical body, so that the physical body can be energy-transformed," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "And now, the virtual world is forcibly enhancing the physical body."

"My body is still getting stronger," Xu Jingming felt silently.

Eighth-order star life cultivation is divided into two aspects.

One is the physical aspect, the physical body can be transformed into cosmic energy with a thought. But there are thousands upon thousands of cosmic energies, naturally there are high and low distinctions! And the goal pursued by every eighth-order life is "cosmic source power."

Cosmic source power can be approached! But it cannot be reached in the eighth-order stage.

The other aspect is mental awareness. Mental power needs to be constantly strengthened, strengthened, and strengthened again! When it is elevated to an unbelievable level, to the point where it can leverage "cosmic source power," then it is considered a success.

At this time, use mental power to leverage cosmic source power to assist the physical body, making the physical body truly source-powered!

When truly source-powered, that is a source life!

Ninth-order source life!

"My physical body is now getting stronger, and the energy I possess is becoming more and more majestic and profound." Xu Jingming gradually felt a sense of profoundness! Then he felt heaviness! The physical body brought him more and more pressure.

"I'm standing inside the protective shield, and I can feel that this body is extremely heavy?" Xu Jingming's face changed.

Thump!

Xu Jingming couldn't help but kneel down, supporting himself with his hands, and bursts of light erupted from his whole body!

Another full five minutes passed.

"It stopped."

"Finally reached the limit of the eighth order." Xu Jingming knelt, supporting himself with his hands, gritting his teeth to let himself sit cross-legged.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xu Jingming felt so tired! His body was as heavy as a towering mountain, every cell was trembling. "Not to mention cell-level control, even barely controlling my body feels tiring." Xu Jingming felt too much pressure. This was the pressure brought by the terrifying physical body. Fortunately, he was already a seventh-order star life! If his mental awareness was any weaker, his mental awareness would probably be directly crushed!

Just as Xu Jingming was familiarizing himself with this eighth-order limit physical body, suddenly—

A man appeared out of thin air beside him. He was two meters one tall, with silver hair and an exquisite hairstyle. His skin was as white as snow, and his eyes were blue and gentle, always with a smile. He looked at Xu Jingming, who was sitting there cross-legged, and said with a smile, "Moru Star Alliance, Vick, greets you."

Sitting cross-legged, Xu Jingming barely managed to say, "Wu Hook Star Alliance, Wu Ming."

"Don't rush when you first arrive on the fifth planet." Vick, the Moru Star Alliance man with the exquisite hairstyle, smiled slightly. "Being able to experience the body of the eighth-order limit in advance is also a rare opportunity. Get used to it slowly! First, be able to walk freely within the protective shield. After all, the protective shield is the normal neutron star environment. Walking on a neutron star is much more difficult."

"Thank you," Xu Jingming nodded.

"The key to walking on a neutron star is energy transformation. Controlling the energy transformation of the physical body is a new lesson for all of us," Vick said. "Energy transformation?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

"The neutron star is about 12 kilometers in diameter. We can see many places even when standing inside the protective shield," Vick said. "You can see the opportunities in many places on the neutron star! Even if you can't pass the neutron star test, you can still look at the opportunities, which is also a gain."

Xu Jingming did notice.

From the first planet to the fourth planet, the planets were very large. In the areas outside the test grounds, many places hid opportunities, which needed to be slowly searched for.

But on the fifth planet, the neutron star was too small, and opportunities were easy to find! The only problem was that it was difficult to walk to the opportunities! Generally, one could only stand inside the protective shield and watch the opportunities in the distance.

"Okay, I'm going to set off. I hope you and I can both reach the sixth planet." Vick smiled slightly, then clicked on his personal panel and instantly reached the eighth-order limit.

Only the first attempt must be slowly improved from weak to strong.

In later attempts, you can choose to improve slowly, or you can instantly reach the eighth-order limit through the personal panel.

"I hope we can both reach the sixth planet," Xu Jingming also said.

Vick then walked out of the protective shield range.

Crash!

On the neutron star, which was like a large iron ball, the surface temperature was terrifyingly high, and the gravity distorted space-time. The figure of Vick, which was visible to the naked eye, faintly emitted light and was distorted. But Vick still walked slowly, step by step.

Xu Jingming stood up after adapting for a moment inside the protective shield.

"Since mental awareness is too weak relative to such a physical body, then I can't pursue fine control," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "I have to get used to vaguely controlling the body! Guiding the body's instincts!"

Since embarking on the path of evolution, he has been accustomed to cell-level control.

Now he has to change his habits!

"It feels not bad."

Xu Jingming walked back and forth within the range of the protective shield, without any energy leaking, and his walking was still considered normal.

"First, change clothes. Ordinary clothes are not suitable for walking in the neutron star environment." Xu Jingming clicked on his personal panel and changed into a set of silver-gray robes, which would not be damaged in the neutron star environment and would be very light.

"Let's begin."

Xu Jingming walked to the edge of the protective shield and immediately stepped out.

Walking out of the protective shield, what does it feel like to truly enter the environment of a neutron star? "Boom boom boom!!!"

Terrifying high temperature, all kinds of radiation impacts, and that unbelievably strong gravity.

Of course, Xu Jingming's current eighth-order limit body can ignore these temperatures of over a million degrees and ignore a little radiation impact, but this gravity, which is hundreds of billions of times stronger, still caused Xu Jingming's body to tremble.

Splatter!

Xu Jingming's body suddenly couldn't support itself, and his entire body suddenly collapsed, turning into a piece of paper and sticking to the surface of the neutron star.

At this moment, Xu Jingming's consciousness still existed.

"I was crushed into a piece of paper?" Xu Jingming was still alive.

But then this piece of paper completely decomposed, decomposing into countless energies, dissipating in all directions.

Xu Jingming's consciousness was on those energies, still existing for a few seconds. As the energy dispersed in all directions, the consciousness completely dissipated. Whoosh!

Xu Jingming reappeared inside the protective shield.

"This gravity is too strong." Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "Eighth-order star life can walk on a neutron star because of energy transformation. Maintaining the energy transformation state greatly weakens the influence of the neutron star's gravity."

Xu Jingming clicked on his personal panel, instantly raising his body to the eighth-order limit.

"Again."

Xu Jingming stepped out of the protective shield.

Splatter!

Turned into a piece of paper!

Splatter! Splatter! Splatter!

Every time he went out, he became a piece of paper, and then he collapsed. Xu Jingming changed his methods.

Dashing out! Jumping out! Flying out!

"I have no experience with physical energy transformation at all. Vick is right, physical energy transformation is a new course for all of us." Xu Jingming sat cross-legged at the edge of the protective shield, carefully extending a forefinger, extending this forefinger out of the protective shield range.

Buzz!

Other parts of the body were still inside the protective shield, only the finger part was in the outside world, affected by the neutron star environment.

Various radiation impacts, high temperature effects, and terrifying gravitational forces acted on this finger. The finger trembled and glowed, the entire finger completely "energy-transformed." It seemed to maintain the shape of a finger, but in reality, it was an accumulation of energy.

After energy transformation, the influence of gravity was much weaker.

"We star life are accustomed to controlling the physical body," Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "And the key to the fifth planet's test is to control the physical body's energy transformation."

Xu Jingming gradually extended two fingers, three fingers, and even his entire right hand. Xu Jingming slowly realized. "How wonderful."

"After the physical body is energy-transformed, it's actually like this."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, a brand new world appeared before him. After all, for so many years, he had never had the experience of "physical energy transformation."

He is now learning in advance the problem faced by eighth-order star life, how to more effectively control the physical body's energy transformation!

With the mental awareness of a seventh-order star life, one must at least vaguely control the "full body energy" of the eighth-order limit physical body.

The difficulty is extremely high!

However, those who can reach the fifth planet are all geniuses from various star alliances in the universe. Observation space.

"Hey, what is that newbie from your Wu Hook Star Alliance doing?" The short fat man looked at Xu Jingming from afar. "Just reaching out a hand to feel the neutron star? Is he roasting his palm?"

"Without any physical energy transformation experience, of course, you have to get familiar with it slowly," Observer Chang said. "In any case, being able to reach the fifth planet! The potential in the mental aspect is also high enough, at least he can become an eighth-order star life, not weaker than you, Observer Gulu!"

"Compare with me?"

The short fat man snorted, "I'm not far from the eighth-order limit, can he compare with me?"

"Why can't he compare with you? Maybe, he will reach the eighth-order limit, and you haven't reached it yet," Observer Chang said. The two chatted casually, also observing the explorers of each other's star alliances.
