Chapter 154: Scorching Sun Illuminates
Only when he saw that giant celestial body and sensed the familiar aura did he realize that this might be The Way of the Extraordinary world.
Each time a Slaughter Instance was opened, the demigods would travel through The Way of the Extraordinary world, observing the battle from outside the Instance.
Fu Qingyang had mentioned that outside the Instance was a dazzling "starry river."
The aura of Taiyin, a complete Taiyin, stirred Zhang Yuanqing's heart as he gazed at the dark round moon, giving rise to an instinctive yearning and desire.
That black moon held a fatal attraction for Night Wanderers.
Zhang Yuanqing felt the Taiyin power within him begin to lose control, drawn out of his body by a powerful suction, converging towards the distant Taiyin. In just a few breaths, more than half of the Taiyin power he had painstakingly accumulated was lost.
"Ling Tuo!" The Devil Monarch's obsession gazed at Taiyin from afar, his voice rolling like thunder, like a tsunami: "I've come to avenge myself!"
Within the black moon, a pair of huge eyes suddenly opened, looking over from an infinitely distant place.
"A wisp of the Devil Monarch's remnant thought." A light laughter came from the air: "When you were alive, I could turn you to ashes. Now, with only a wisp of remnant thought, you still want to be a moth to the flame?"
Zhang Yuanqing felt an extreme anger surge into his heart, burning like wildfire, making his scalp tingle and his blood pressure rise.
He knew this was the emotion of the Devil Monarch's obsession. As the host, he was inevitably affected.
Those anger, unwillingness, hatred, and loathing, at this moment, turned into狂笑的: "I have cultivated for three years, bearing pollution, and I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. You deceived me for being young, setting up a trap to harm me. Winner takes all, and I have nothing to say. But today, I will make you, Ling Tuo, pay the price."
Ling Tuo's lofty voice echoed in The Way of the Extraordinary world: "When you were alive, you were a pawn under my control. After death, you are even less of a threat."
The Devil Monarch's obsession gave a "heh" sound, his arms shook violently, and a dazzling golden light sprayed from the seal on his forehead.
A golden light pierced through the starry river like a silk ribbon. As if sensing the golden light, that small and dim star suddenly lit up.
In the next second, in the vast and boundless starry river, a faint golden outline emerged. Because its outline was dazzling, the interior appeared dim, resembling the scene of a celestial dog devouring the sun.
The black moon was already a giant celestial body, but in front of it, it was as small as dust. As soon as this dim sun appeared in the world, The Way of the Extraordinary world was filled with a scorching aura, and golden particles rippled like flowing water.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly looked up, letting the golden light on his forehead shoot towards that dim sun. The golden light ignited the giant sun, causing it to burst out with a strong golden glow.
He stood proudly in the starry river, with the giant celestial body and the golden sun as his background. With a buzz, a round of golden sun appeared behind his head, and his short hair stood on end, entwined with golden light.
His eyeballs turned molten gold, and dark golden vine-like patterns covered his face, chest, and arms, solemn and ancient.
He raised his hand, and strands of golden light descended from the sun, condensing into a giant sword.
"Ling Tuo, although I failed to fuse with the sun, and my Yuan Shen and body turned to ashes, it was not without gain. Before I fell, I left an imprint in my 角我色卡 with the quasi-Sun Lord position, just waiting for this day."
The Devil Monarch turned his wrist and held the sword in front of him, proclaiming loudly: "Let the sun shine everywhere!"
Golden ripples spread from the tip of the sword, sweeping across the starry river like circles of ripples. Wherever it passed, heat surged, all spiritual power was emptied, and all darkness was illuminated.
The golden ripples swept across the black moon irresistibly, revealing the stars inside. One by one, the stars were lit up, igniting golden flames, dispelling the Taiyin power.
The black moon quickly disintegrated in the golden ripples, like a shadow disappearing in the sunlight.
"Devil Monarch!"
Ling Tuo's gloomy voice came from Taiyin: "I can stir up The Way of the Extraordinary world once, and I can stir it up a second time. When the Taiyin power is completely dissipated, I can still devour the Merit List. As long as I am here, the birth of a Sun Lord is impossible."
As the voice fell, the dark round moon completely disappeared.
The Way of the Extraordinary world returned to normal and began to repair itself. One by one, the stars quickly returned to their original positions, including the Instance hiding the Merit List.
This strike seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Zhang Yuanqing felt his will dissipate along with the energy in his body. He couldn't turn his head, but he could sense the projection of the sun slowly disappearing, returning to darkness.
Soon, the stars in The Way of the Extraordinary world flickered, returning to their original state, leaving only the residual heat after the sun's power swept through.
Heavenly Punishment Headquarters.
Thanks to the overtime work and non-stop efforts of the Newyue County branch of the Zhongting Construction Group, the building of the Heavenly Punishment Headquarters had been repaired.
Originally, the load-bearing columns and load-bearing walls had not been greatly damaged. After repairing the walls and reinstalling the water and electricity systems, it was quickly put into use.
However, other buildings were still surrounded by scaffolding. Even the Dirt Monsters and other cattle and horses could not repair the more than 60,000 square meters of the Heavenly Headquarters in just a few days.
Mr. Hui, who was holding a meeting in Jing City the second before, appeared in the conference room of the Heavenly Punishment Headquarters building the next second.
He held a slender glass, showing elegance and composure, and said with a smile, "Time is tight. Are you ready, oldman?"
Heavenly Punishment had three gangs, corresponding to the "Inspection Department, Execution Department, and Board of Directors."
All three gangs were Level 9 gangs. In the gang system, a Level 6 gang could appoint one vice gang leader, and a Level 9 gang could appoint two vice gang leaders.
The authority of the three vice gang leaders was almost equivalent to that of the gang leader. They could open gang instances, use items in the gang warehouse, recruit people into the gang, and kick members out of the gang.
The gang leader had only one more authority than the three vice gang leaders, which was the ability to remove the vice gang leaders from their positions.
Therefore, although the three demigods were currently overwhelmed, the high-level members of Heavenly Punishment could still mobilize the gang warehouse.
This mechanism was designed to prevent the gang leader from falling and causing the wealth of the entire gang to return to The Way of the Extraordinary world, wasting the efforts of countless people.
The high-level members of Heavenly Punishment looked at each other. Six peak Sovereigns simultaneously stared into the void, their pupils dilating. Milton. Mike was the first to take out a golden metal fragment.
Doyle Jerome and a peak Sovereign of the Board of Directors took out two palm-sized discs. Heavenly Punishment had seized three fragments of the Light Compass, two of which had been refined into rule-type props, and the other one remained in its original state.
"Very good!" Mr. Hui beckoned, and the three compass fragments automatically flew into his palm.
Without saying anything, he was about to snap his fingers and return to Jing City.
"Wait!" Milton Mike, who was about to close the gang interface, accidentally glanced at the character attributes and suddenly froze.
His expression suddenly became excited, and he said loudly, "The Moral Value has recovered! The Moral Value has recovered!"
The Sovereigns present almost simultaneously opened their character attributes and then saw that the [Moral Value] column had appeared in the attribute interface.
Jing City.
After listening to her phone call, Fu Qingxuan silently hung up and said, "Heavenly Punishment has agreed. Mr. Hui will bring the compass fragments over immediately."
As for the Five Elements Alliance, Grand Elder had already reported the results of the Nine Elders' discussion in a phone call, agreeing to provide the compass fragments.
As an official organization, the process was sometimes more important than the result. Even if it was just for show, the Nine Elders had to call and report the results of their discussion.
The Lord of Zhongting and the Leader of the Crimson Fire Gang immediately opened the gang warehouse and took out the two fragments in their custody.
Dazzling starlight descended from the sky, engulfing the two fragments.
Suddenly, the figure in the wine-red suit returned. Seeing the two fragments being engulfed by the starlight, he immediately snapped his fingers, and the two compass fragments disappeared, appearing in his hand.
The five leaders immediately looked over. The Leader of the Crimson Fire Gang raised his thick eyebrows in anger: "What are you doing!"
"The Moral Value has recovered." Mr. Hui, afraid that the vulgar fire master would directly attack, cut straight to the point.
Fu Qingxuan immediately opened the attribute panel, and the Leader of the Crimson Fire Gang suspiciously checked the attribute panel.
"Damn it, the Moral Value is really back!" The leader's rough face instantly lit up with excitement.
The leaders were relieved. The Lord of Zhongting pondered, "The Way of the Extraordinary world's self-repair mechanism has triggered a repair. In any case, it's impossible for Ling Tuo to have a change of heart and voluntarily release the Merit List."
The Shura, who was as sturdy as a black iron tower, opened the attribute panel and looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around and left without saying a word.
"Shura, take me with you!" The Devil Eye Heavenly King was shocked.
"Okay!" Shura unexpectedly agreed, then kicked his legs and soared into the sky, shooting into the clouds like a cannonball, disappearing into the northwest sky.
Devil Eye Heavenly King: "..."
Mr. Hui snapped his fingers before the five leaders could act: "Banish!"
The Devil Leg Heavenly King disappeared!
Newyue County, Port.
Hundred-meter-high waves frequently impacted the barrier. In the repeated impacts, suddenly, the city-wall-like waves quickly receded, and the sea surface returned to calm at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the deep purple clouds covering Newyue County, came unwilling, angry roars, which then quickly dissipated.
The twisted realm of the ruined Sea God Church voluntarily withdrew. The Gu Dragon, the Ancient War God, and the Senluo Illusion retreated one after another. The body of the Smoker suddenly disintegrated, and pieces of flesh splashed in all directions, smashing into the ruins and the distant buildings.
The man in the suit stepped out and returned to the port island.
The demigods of the evil faction retreated unwillingly, leaving only the Sea Emperor holding the trident and the giant with the Heart of the Ocean embedded in his chest.
The two Siren-class demigods dispersed their dharma forms, sat down separately, exhaling huge amounts of oxygen, panting heavily.
In The Way of the Extraordinary world, Zhang Yuanqing felt the will in his body quickly dissipate, and the burning sensation also receded like a tide. He gradually sensed his own body.
"The sun is without a master, and its radiance will slowly dissipate over time. You need to become the Sun Lord as soon as possible and control the Merit List. Otherwise, next time, no one will be able to clean up the mess." The Devil Monarch's obsession said lightly: "I'll give you a clear path. I left something very important in the treasure vault of the Yuhua Immortal Sect. When you are in a desperate situation, you can open the treasure vault, and perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."
"Before you are completely desperate, I don't recommend you explore there. Some things lose their value once they are made public." After saying that, the Devil Monarch's obsession turned into starlight and left The Way of the Extraordinary world.
Today, dazzling starlight rose in the shrine. Zhang Yuanqing returned to the Slaughter Instance. He glanced around and saw that Qing Zhu was healing Jiang Ju, and Xiahou Aotian was sitting cross-legged, refining medicinal power to restore his vitality.
Xiao Yuan was driving the god, standing guard beside a charred body, to prevent the two enemies from dying completely, and also to prevent the law-abiding professions from stealing the kill.
The others remained silent, waiting silently.
Seeing him return, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lei Li Youjin looked strangely at Zhang Yuanqing: "Should I call you Gou Mang, or Yuanshi Tianzun?"
He had already learned from Alicia that "Gou Mang" was the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun. He never expected that the Beast King he had fought alongside was actually the famous Yuanshi Tianzun of the Second District.
"Of course, it's Yuanshi Tianzun." Zhang Yuanqing moved his limbs, feeling that the control of his body had completely returned, finally relieving the trace of vigilance in his heart.
Zhang Yuanqing briefly reviewed what happened, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
But now that the Devil Monarch's obsession had dissipated and completely died, no one could answer his doubts.
"Why are they still here?" Zhang Yuanqing looked at Huang Taiji and Yin Ji.
Yin Ji pursed her lips and said nothing. Huang Taiji said, "Wait for you to return and settle the clearance rewards together."
He finally had no scruples and stepped on the neck of the Bloodthirsty Liquid, completing the finishing blow.
Yin Ji then took out a prop,摄 out the spirit body of the sleeping Dragon Lord, and pierced his heart with a dagger.
After doing all this, the Lingjing notification sound was received in everyone's ears:
"Ding, congratulations on completing the Slaughter Instance, World Museum, No. 0000, Difficulty Level: Unknown, Settlement of rewards in progress."
