Main Formation!

The black hole, draped in a dazzling cloak, gradually expanded, encompassing everything and devouring everything. The massive, evenly matched sun had already been half-consumed by the black hole.

Half was swallowed into the black hole, while the other half struggled to resist.

The sun's origin being devoured by the black hole was a foregone conclusion.

Zhang Yuanqing currently controlled only five Golden Crows. The remaining four had been devoured by the black hole, severing their connection with him.

Fortunately, the Golden Crows had an owner and instinctively resisted the Star Lord's refinement. Otherwise, they would likely have become a force controlled by the Star Lord the moment they were swallowed into the black hole.

However, even in such a perilous situation, Zhang Yuanqing did not retreat in the slightest. He recklessly plunged into the black hole, using the power of five Golden Crows to scorch it.

At this moment, the main formation instance was already showing signs of collapse. The collision of the three most powerful source energies in The Way of the Extraordinary was something no instance could withstand.

Zhang Yuanqing could actually cut off an arm now, abandon the four Golden Crows, and break through the instance space to escape.

However, such a move would be like drinking poison to quench his thirst, utterly meaningless.

A majestic voice from the Star Lord echoed from the black hole:

"You're willing to suffer mutual destruction, willing to expend your origin, recklessly scorching me. Are you waiting for Ling Tuo's backup plan?"

Zhang Yuanqing ignored him.

The Star Lord continued:

"Not giving me a chance to recover, not giving me time to deeply refine Tai Yin, wanting to suppress my state to the lowest point, waiting for external assistance. Heh, Ling Tuo's backup plan is nothing more than Ling Jun's mother's seed.

"Once the thing she left behind can't cause me fatal damage, what difference is there between what you're doing and seeking death?"

He had long seen through the reason for Yuanshi Tianzun's mutually destructive fighting style. It was nothing more than anticipating that seed, anticipating Ling Tuo's arrangement, and anticipating external forces to severely injure him, then seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

From the sun's origin, Yuanshi Tianzun's soft laughter finally emerged:

"Among all the occupations in The Way of the Extraordinary, Fu Qingxuan is the sharpest attacker. And Fu Qingxuan inherited the mantle of the Old Marshal, so she could cut off the Distortion Realm and the Myriad Treasures Tree, rule-based items, with a single sword.

"You are the most outstanding chess player in the world, but the Old Marshal is also a master of deploying troops and setting up formations. I don't believe he left nothing behind. If I'm not mistaken, the means left by the Marshal are in Ling Jun's mother's seed.

"Since it's the Old Marshal's means, it's naturally something to look forward to."

After the Star Lord confessed his experience of "scheming and fighting" with the Old Marshal, Zhang Yuanqing clearly realized that the seed left by Ling Jun's mother was not to expose the Star Lord as a "fallen one."

On the one hand, it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, the Star Lord's essence was a Banana Man, not a fallen one.

So, what made Ling Jun's mother so solemnly hand the seed over to Elder Zhao? Judging from Ling Tuo's sentence, "Father, do you really think you've won?" it was likely a powerful killing move.

What killing move could deal with the Star Lord? The answer was obvious.

It was the means pre-arranged by the Old Marshal.

As for why Ling Jun's mother handed the seed to Elder Zhao instead of returning it to the Old Marshal, it was simple: it needed Tai Yin's protection.

"You've overlooked the characteristics of the power of the sun!" The Star Lord's tone was majestic and calm: "Sunlight illuminates everything, and everything is illusory, including the Marshal's sword."

As the words fell, the sky of the instance shattered, and a beam of light pierced through the instance's restrictions, shooting towards the black hole that occupied two-thirds of the sky.

This was a sword fused with the Old Marshal's divine thoughts, containing a sword intent sufficient to split the heavens and the earth.

He hid the sword energy and sword intent within the seed through the "reincarnation" method, and today it bloomed and bore fruit, cleansing the world!

However, under the irradiation of the sun's origin, its sword energy was weakened layer by layer before it could even flourish.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately retracted the sun, but he should no longer be able to resist the black hole, being firmly sucked in. Spiritual power was frantically lost, and another Golden Crow was forcibly taken by the black hole.

The sword light from outside the sky instantly surged, filling the entire instance with sword energy.

It grazed over the head of the Sun Lord, and the scattered sword energy left countless bloody sword marks on him. With a force that destroyed everything, it crashed into the black hole.

The Star Lord did not choose to dodge; instead, he intensified the suction, firmly fixing Yuanshi Tianzun in the air.

He had already fused with Tai Yin, and as long as his soul was not scattered, any injuries could be recovered afterward.

The Sun Lord was already at the end of his rope, and the sword intent left by the Old Marshal, no matter how powerful, could not kill him in his current state.

As far as he was concerned, swallowing the Sun Lord in one go was the only way to go.

The next second, the rainbow-like sword energy crashed into the black hole, and then was silently swallowed. The sharpest sword in the world seemed unable to cut open this star with the highest current status.

But then, the black hole vibrated violently, and the power of stars and Tai Yin, like a solar storm, spewed energy particles in all directions.

Zhang Yuanqing, deeply trapped, clearly sensed that the Star Lord's primordial spirit was rapidly declining, suffering unprecedented damage.

If the Star Lord had been in this state just now, Zhang Yuanqing would have burned him to death.

A dozen seconds later, the black hole stabilized. The Star Lord, possessing the Tai Yin origin, was ultimately not so easy to kill.

A slightly weak, majestic voice came from within the black hole:

"I said, with my current status, the Marshal can't kill me.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, it's a pity. If you could have surrendered earlier, handing over the sun's origin, I would have left Earth at a lower price and gone to live on another planet.

"But now that the battle between you and me has reached this point, I will not spare your life."

Zhang Yuanqing laughed:

"Me neither!

"Star Lord, I have one more trick."

At this moment, circles of golden ripples rippled across the sky of the instance. Immediately afterward, a golden light pierced through the instance's restrictions and descended.

It was a small and exquisite, but terrifyingly hot, one-legged Golden Crow, its entire body burning with golden fire.

This Golden Crow swooped down, crashing itself into Zhang Yuanqing's forehead.

As for Zhang Yuanqing's clone, it had been burned to ashes after entering The Way of the Extraordinary world, but this did not hinder the fusion instinct between the Golden Crows.

Seeing this scene, the Star Lord's tone suddenly changed: "How is this possible?"

The black hole immediately collapsed inward, forming a powerful suction, wanting to seize the Golden Crow.

However, he was no longer at his peak at this moment. The power intertwined by stars and Tai Yin, although "attracted" the Golden Crow, did not form an overwhelming advantage.

It flew into Zhang Yuanqing's forehead.

Ten sun crows gathered!

Instantly, although he had already lost half of the Golden Crows, Zhang Yuanqing completed himself in status, becoming the true Sun Lord.

Within the black hole, one exquisite and petite Golden Crow after another emerged. They re-established contact with the Sun Lord, struggling and eagerly wanting to break through the shackles and return to their origin.

The black hole once again erupted with a strong suction, resisting this aggregation, like a desperate person bursting out with great potential.

The sun imprint on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead lit up. Strands of golden thread-like sun power stretched out into the black hole, pulling the four Golden Crows out bit by bit.

"Of course I know the Marshal's sword can't kill you, but it can certainly severely injure you. My reckless burning is not betting on Ling Tuo's trump card. In fact, the Marshal's sword and my actions are all just to severely injure you, pushing your state towards the abyss," Zhang Yuanqing said slowly:

"My trump card is this Golden Crow that disappeared in the river of time."

If it had been before the arrival of the sword intent, even if Zhang Yuanqing became the complete Sun Lord, it would have been impossible to retrieve the Golden Crows.

But now, the Star Lord had been scorched by the sun's origin for a long time and struck by the Old Marshal's sword intent, while Zhang Yuanqing had replenished the power of a Golden Crow, and his status had become complete.

With this ebb and flow, the Star Lord could no longer control him.

Now it was his turn to b*tch:

"With your wisdom, you should have thought about why the Devil Monarch would publicize the place where he hid his trump card? But you didn't have that time, because when I realized this, I chose to start the war early, forcing you to concentrate on dealing with it.

"When you set up the Ziwei Six Fiends Formation, leading me into the instance, completely isolating me from reality, at that moment, the ending between you and me was actually already determined. Afterward, even if you reacted in the formation, you couldn't make a change.

"If I can find the last Golden Crow and complete myself, you are destined to lose. Conversely, you will win. In this process, you still have one chance to kill me, one chance to fight me to the death.

That is to kill me during the heyday of the Ziwei Six Fiends Formation, but you sought stability, choosing to delay the time and consume me, causing two auxiliary formations to be broken, losing your absolute suppression of me.

"And if there were no Marshal's sword intent, now it would be you and me fighting to the death, and your winning rate should be higher, but now, with your state..."

When he said this, the four Golden Crows broke free from the entanglement of the black hole, vibrated their wings, and entered Zhang Yuanqing's forehead one after another.

He stopped talking nonsense and said in a deep voice:

"Star Lord, have you seen the real sun!"

A huge golden sun slowly rose.

Since the birth of The Way of the Extraordinary, the real Sun Lord was born.

At this moment, the entire instance was ignited. Golden flames burned in the sky, burned on the ground, and burned in the air.

At this moment, in The Way of the Extraordinary instance and the real world, a golden sun rose simultaneously, and night turned into day.

At this moment, countless creatures in The Way of the Extraordinary and the real world, regardless of their intelligence, were awakened from their sleep, looking at the golden sun in the sky and outside the window, feeling awe, longing, dependence, and panic from the bottom of their hearts.

All chaos was curbed, all infringements stopped, and all filth vanished.

The black hole, located in the same instance, was also ignited by the scorching sun. Dazzling starlight continued to emerge, trying to neutralize the flames, and deep black light gushed out, trying to extinguish the flames.

But it all failed!

Seemingly realizing that death was inevitable, the black hole's resistance slowly weakened, allowing the flames to burn fiercely.

The Star Lord's voice came again, and it was also the last time:

"Yuanshi Tianzun, when you fuse the three origins and become the symbol of the universe, the master of The Way of the Extraordinary, you will choose to maintain order like me..."

The voice gradually weakened until it disappeared.

Ke Yang Formation!

Fu Qingyang, his face full of tiredness, raised his head, watching the celestial bodies in the sky collapse and the golden sun hanging in the sky, emitting endless pressure and light.

He was not dead. At the moment of his life's end, the doll Yuanshi Tianzun gave him played its role, bearing the end of death.

But the Devil Eye and Fear, the two Heavenly Kings, were truly annihilated.

Yuanshi successfully completed himself, becoming the true Sun Lord... He silently exhaled a breath, finally feeling relieved.

At this moment, a prompt sound from The Way of the Extraordinary came to his ears:

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the multiplayer The Way of the Extraordinary mission: "Tai Chi Ziwei Six Fiends Formation - Ke Yang Star Formation", number 0-4, difficulty level unknown. Calculating rewards]

[Reward calculation in progress... Obtained item/prop: None]

[Reward experience value: None]

[Main mission calculation completed!]

[Calculation completed! Immediately exit The Way of the Extraordinary...]

"Won! Won!"

Xiahou Aotian looked up at the sky, cheering and jumping for joy.

He didn't know the situation of the main formation, but watching the golden sun rise, he seemed to have received a revelation in the dark, knowing that Yuanshi Tianzun had completed the origin of the sun and become the true Sun Lord.

The high and mighty majesty, the fierce and domineering aura, made people believe from the bottom of their hearts that this was the real sun.

Niangniang of Three Dao Mountain raised her eyes, staring intently at the magnificent sun. Under the golden light, sealed memories suddenly awakened. She remembered the conversation on the East Sea, and the conversation in the dream.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is," she muttered to herself.

When Niangniang of Three Dao Mountain looked at the golden sun again, she felt a sense of loss in her heart. That was the power she had dreamed of, the pursuit she had longed for.

But soon, the comfort and the joy of the disaster being resolved that surged in her heart occupied her mind.

The Sun Lord was her disciple!

Jiang Yu'er gazed at the sun in the sky, a smile on the corner of her mouth, but tears welled up in her eyes.

After experiencing the bitter struggle during the Devil Monarch era, and the race against death during the Yuanshi Tianzun era, he finally, finally... became the Sun Lord, standing at the peak of The Way of the Extraordinary world.

For a time, sadness and joy were intertwined.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the multiplayer The Way of the Extraordinary mission: "Tai Chi Ziwei Six Fiends Formation - Di Kong Star Formation", number 0-6, difficulty level unknown. Calculating rewards]

Xiahou Aotian's joyful expression suddenly solidified as he heard the prompt sound from The Way of the Extraordinary in his ears:

"Zero rewards? Why are there zero rewards? I risked my life for the Sun Lord, and I can't even get a piece of cornbread?"

Jiang Yu'er said with a smile, "Yuanshi becoming the true Sun Lord is the best reward."

Xiahou Aotian thought about it and felt it made sense, muttering:

"When I return to reality, I want to join the Five Elements Alliance headquarters, become one of the Ten Elders, and also make my uncle abdicate, and give me the position of family head..."

As he spoke, he turned his attention to the knight's sword left by Zhai Cai that was stuck not far away.

Xiahou Aotian's eyes gradually grew silent.

In a certain instance hidden by Tai Yin, Fu Qingxuan's white eyelashes trembled, and she woke up from eternal sleep.

She sat up, somewhat blankly looking around. Her memory was still stuck on the scene where the Star Lord summoned the Night Emperor. Her vision reflected the half-gods of the Lawful Faction, seeing them wake up one after another, all looking around blankly, examining each other.

And at the same time, they raised their heads, looking at the brilliant, vast, majestic, and upright sun.

Head Jiang shouted loudly, "The Sun Lord is born! That dog thief of the Taiyi Sect Master still let him succeed."

Main Formation.

The Great Sun converged, and Zhang Yuanqing stood proudly in the air. At this moment, he had a sun wheel hanging behind his head, and his body was not covered by a single thread. His muscles were full and strong, and every muscle curve could be described as perfect.

His eyes were golden, and his hair was entwined with golden light particles, like a handsome and brave sun god in mythology.

Zhang Yuanqing, like a god, looked at the outside world with a majestic expression.

His gaze penetrated the instance, bringing the six formations of Di Kong, Ke Yang, Yinghuo, Tuoluo, Di Jie, and Ling Xing into view.

He saw the half-gods who had long stopped fighting and looked up at the sky.

Zhang Yuanqing stretched out his right hand, and the power of the sun spurted out, condensing into a bow with restrained divine power. He pulled the bow open, and three Golden Crows drilled out of his forehead, turning into arrows.

Zhang Yuanqing aimed at the "Di Jie Formation" and shot the arrow.

The golden light roared away, and in an instant, it appeared in the Di Jie Formation. In an instant, the arrow shattered all things, and all the spiritual power in the instance was evaporated.

The Northern School Illusion God in the formation had no way to avoid it, and was pierced through the chest by the golden light.

Golden flames blazed, and the Northern School Illusion God let out a heart-wrenching scream. Immediately, all emotions returned to nothingness. He stood quietly in the air, accepting this ending.

In the golden flames, he turned into ashes bit by bit.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately pulled the second bow, and seven Golden Crows drilled out of his forehead. The arrow aimed at the Tuoluo Formation merged with three Golden Crows, and the arrow aimed at the Ling Xing Formation merged with four Golden Crows.

Pulling the bow like a full moon.

Two arrows streaked across the sky, broke through the instance restrictions, and disappeared.

In the Tuoluo Formation, the Gu Dragon, who was fighting fiercely with the Old Ancestor of the Xie Family, felt something and suddenly raised his head, seeing the golden light roaring from outside the sky.

In an instant, the temperature in the instance rose sharply, and the heat wave was pressing. And the most terrifying thing was that when this golden light descended, the originally chaotic spiritual power was cleared away.

The Gu Dragon's sense of crisis in his heart rose sharply. His vertical eyes shot out filthy black light that could corrupt all things, and his mouth spewed out terrible world-destroying fire.

At the same time, he cast a blessing on himself to enhance his skill strength.

However, these skills had just taken shape when they evaporated. The arrow attached to the Golden Crow hit the Gu Dragon's head and pierced through it.

The Gu Dragon's huge body stiffened, and raging flames ignited. He frantically twisted his body and let out a shrill roar:

"Waste, waste! The Star Lord wronged me!"

In the angry curses, he turned into ashes in the raging fire. In the Ling Xing Formation, the uncle, whose suit was already tattered and who had changed into defensive armor, looked at Old Mai, who was staring at the sky with a stiff expression, and smiled:

"This is a great moment. We have witnessed the birth of the true Sun Lord. In the near future, I will also witness the birth of the Master of The Way of the Extraordinary, but you will not be able to see it.

Old Mai's expression was angry, but his eyes were filled with helplessness and despair. "I can't understand..."

He couldn't understand why the Star Lord lost.

The uncle shrugged: "I can't understand either. I even prepared to return to The Way of the Extraordinary, but now, I just want to invite people all over the world to drink a glass of champagne."

Bright, domineering golden light streaked across the sky like a falling star.

Old Mai, holding the Dionysus Scepter, sighed and did not resist, because any resistance was futile.

He was immediately pierced by the golden light and turned into ashes in the flames.

When the Golden Crow returned, Zhang Yuanqing turned his attention to the Yinghuo Formation. The battle between the Wind and Thunder Gods and Asura had stopped. The two, who were of similar status, had not determined a winner.

But relying on the formation to enhance his power, Asura's aura was stronger than that of the Wind and Thunder Gods. If he was given a little more time, it would not be a problem for him to kill the Wind and Thunder Gods.

Zhang Yuanqing slowly pulled open the bowstring, and one Golden Crow after another rushed out of his forehead. The first Golden Crow turned into an arrow, and the subsequent nine empowered it.

Ten sun crows came out together!

Before the arrow was shot, its aura had already become terrifyingly strong.

Zhang Yuanqing was equal to smashing the entire sun's origin, because he knew that nine Golden Crows could only severely injure Asura and could not kill him.

"Swish!"

The arrow was like a meteor against the sky, dragging a golden tail flame, disappearing into the instance.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow descended on the Yinghuo Formation. The scarlet star in the sky was annihilated on the spot. Asura looked solemnly at the arrow shot, and raised the bronze scimitar!

Just when he aimed at the right time and slashed at the arrow, the golden light suddenly dispersed, turning into ten one-legged Golden Crows burning with flames.

Ten Golden Crows, wrapped in tidal flames, brushed past Asura. The golden fire wave instantly engulfed him.

"Huff, huff..."

In the dense sound of flapping wings, the Golden Crows flew away.

The Wind and Thunder Gods immediately looked at Asura. This former strongest person in The Way of the Extraordinary world had turned into a pale statue.

Who would have thought that Asura, who had deterred the Lawful Faction, the Star Lord who had insight into the world, and many other half-gods who had been influential, would be knocked off the altar and end up miserably by a junior who had been practicing for less than five years?

The Wind and Thunder Gods were momentarily dazed.

She waved her hand, and a gust of wind rose sharply. The three-meter-tall, three-headed, eight-armed pale statue scattered with a bang, turning into snowflakes of flying ashes.

Zhang Yuanqing picked up the Star Lord's relics, which were a star-interwoven robe and a palm-sized black round moon.

The two source energies simultaneously turned into pure starlight and black light, merging into his body. The next second, a gorgeous starlight robe unfolded behind him.

A jet-black round moon rose behind his head.

The power of the sun condensed into a golden sun imprint on his forehead.

At this moment, the entire The Way of the Extraordinary world was shaking, and countless creatures were prostrating on the ground.

Zhang Yuanqing's consciousness spread in all directions, covering The Way of the Extraordinary world, penetrating The Way of the Extraordinary world, covering the entire Earth, and then the entire solar system.

He felt himself ascending to a higher dimension again, and the planets became "floating" toys in front of his eyes.

The universe, from the micro to the macro, was dissected bit by bit in his mind. The matter, energy, and operating rules contained in the universe had become knowledge that could be read.

He had not completely absorbed Tai Yin and the stars. He only had preliminary control, but he already felt like he had become the master of the universe, and destroying a galaxy was only a matter of thought.

He disappeared in the instance and appeared in the vast and boundless The Way of the Extraordinary world.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his head, looking at the infinite heights, his eyes piercing through endless distance, and saw the evil gods entrenched outside The Way of the Extraordinary, and saw a layer of time law enveloping the entire The Way of the Extraordinary, with Haotian Shangdi coiled up in the void, struggling to maintain the huge formation.

Both sides simultaneously cast their gazes, responding to the Sun Lord's gaze.

Zhang Yuanqing provocatively made a gesture of drawing his bow and shooting to the evil gods outside The Way of the Extraordinary.

This brought about a more fierce impact from the evil gods.

The next second, Zhang Yuanqing came to Haotian Shangdi's side and sat down cross-legged.

At this time, he still couldn't see Haotian Shangdi's features clearly, but he had already seen his essence. The human body was the manifestation of the gods, and originally had no face.

His essence was a living rule, a symbol of time.

"Congratulations on becoming the Master of The Way of the Extraordinary," Haotian Shangdi said with a smile.

"I haven't absorbed the stars and Tai Yin yet. My instinct tells me that this is an adventure," Zhang Yuanqing said.

After becoming the living rule and the incarnation of the sun's origin, his personality changed greatly. Although his consciousness was still Yuanshi Tianzun's, his temperament had been assimilated by the sun's origin.

If he absorbed the stars and Tai Yin, he might lose himself, just like the unity of heaven and man in Xianxia, becoming a faceless rule of heaven and earth.

Haotian Shangdi said in a deep voice:

"You can absorb the stars first, adapt to their power, and stabilize your consciousness before refining Tai Yin.

"This is a cultivation. Absorb slowly, and don't be too hasty. If you want to become the incarnation of the universe's origin, you must accept its grandeur and vastness."

"How long will it take?" Zhang Yuanqing asked cautiously.

Haotian Shangdi shook his head and smiled: "I don't know. Before you, no creature has ever controlled the origin of the universe."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and glanced at it: "Do you need me to deal with these evil gods for you?"

Haotian Shangdi sighed:

"They are more powerful than you think. Across The Way of the Extraordinary, you cannot truly sense the power of these gods. If you want to obliterate them, you must at least absorb the origin of the stars."

Zhang Yuanqing reminded him: "If I absorb the origin of the stars, I may not be willing to take the path you arranged. I will not allow the Star Lord and the Yin gods to destroy the earth, but it does not mean that after absorbing the stars, I will still support your ideas."

He would be affected by the sun's origin and change his personality, and naturally he would also be affected by the origin of the stars.

"You are different from the Star Lord. You absorbed the sun in advance. The sun is biased towards order and hates destruction. It will be your ballast stone." Haotian Shangdi said calmly:

"Of course, if you really choose to maintain 'order' like the Star Lord, I will lead the lawful gods who agree with our ideas to continue fighting."

His emotions were calm from beginning to end, like advanced intelligence.

Zhang Yuanqing stopped dwelling on this topic and said:

"I will open the third district and open the administrator privileges to reduce your pressure."

"Good!"

This was exactly what Haotian Shangdi needed.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes shot out two golden lights, looking at the third district. The moment his eyes shone into this forbidden place, his true body descended here.

This place was shrouded in boundless chaos. The stars representing the instance were dim and dull. The towering giant tree growing in the "galaxy" flowed with filthy turbid liquid and burned with the fire of destruction. Various destructive rules eroded its remains.

"It's time to kill the virus!"

The black moon and the starlight robe behind Zhang Yuanqing's head shrank back into his body. He turned into a huge star, hanging in the "galaxy" of the third district, emitting light and heat.

The golden flames ignited the entire third district. The boundless chaos was evaporated first, and the galaxy was clear.

The flames burned to the sky-covering god tree. The filthy turbid liquid melted in the flames, and the black fire of destruction was dispelled by the power of the sun. Those rules that wrapped around it and shrouded it all vanished.

When the third district was clear, and the chaotic rules and forces had evaporated, the huge sun converged, returning to Zhang Yuanqing's appearance.

Then, he took back the sun's origin into his body, summoned the starlight robe, and raised his hand, snapping his fingers, lighting up one star after another.

Suddenly, the third district became a brilliant galaxy.

The huge god tree growing in the galaxy began to grow new buds, restoring its vigorous vitality.

The third district opened!

At this moment, the lawful half-gods in the world all resonated with The Way of the Extraordinary, and established contact with this cosmic magic weapon with planets as units.

One by one, The Way of the Extraordinary's permissions were gradually opened.
