Chapter 189 Behind by One Move

Looking at the Taiyin power that stretched across the starry river like a turbid current, polluting a large area, and watching the copy representing the Immortal Feather Sect being swallowed by Taiyin, Zhang Yuanqing knew that the Lord of the Stars still knew what his hidden backup plan was, knew where it was hidden.

Obviously,

the Pure Yang Headmaster had left a backup plan.

Zhang Yuanqing was not surprised by this. These thousand-year-old turtles and ten-thousand-year-old tortoises were as secretive as an old sow wearing a bra, with layer upon layer of schemes. Under the circumstances where the stars were disturbed and accurate deductions were impossible, he certainly couldn't "defend" without leaving any gaps.

Therefore, after purifying the Pure Yang Headmaster, Zhang Yuanqing rushed to the headquarters of Heavenly Punishment and took the original treasure map fragments from Kris.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Stars was one step ahead of him. Zhang Yuanqing did not hesitate to use Sunburst, a golden halo rising behind his head, blooming with sunlight that illuminated the entire The Way of the Extraordinary world.

The dense, pitch-black Taiyin power was immediately dispelled by the golden light, revealing the stars that had just been swallowed.

Zhang Yuanqing was about to rush into the copy when a starlight swept from a distant place and suddenly opened up, turning into a huge curtain, through which the golden light became dim.

The Star Origin was not good at fighting, and its only effect in the face of the scorching sun was its neutralizing ability.

It could weaken the power of sunlight.

This was determined by the characteristics of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, the three major origins. The domineering and fierce Sun could not tolerate the spiritual power of other systems.

Therefore, it needed starlight to neutralize and control in order to unify the Sun, Moon, and Star origins.

At the same time,

the Taiyin power that had been dispelled and purified surged again, merging into the starlight curtain, turning it into a hazy gray, interfering with deduction and purification, and carrying its own secret barrier.

A miraculous scene occurred: the sunlight that purified everything, suppressed everything, and illuminated everything,

was actually blocked by this hazy gray curtain and could not penetrate it.

After the initial integration of Taiyin and Star, it exhibited characteristics that restrained the Sun.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, the golden halo above his head shrinking back into his body. Then, his entire person transformed into an boundless and immense blazing sun.

At this moment, a golden sun appeared in the sky of every copy, and the spectacle of two suns in the real world reappeared.

"Chichi," the hazy gray curtain ignited with golden flames, like a piece of paper being lit.

It quickly burned clean.

However, the star representing the Immortal Feather Sect copy disappeared from Zhang Yuanqing's field of vision.

The huge golden sun quietly floated in The Way of the Extraordinary world, the golden light filling every corner, constantly searching, but he could not see the copy.

It had disappeared into thin air.

The huge golden sun collapsed and returned to human form. Zhang Yuanqing's eyes shot out brilliant beams of light, scanning all directions like searchlights. Finally, he found the copy.

It quietly floated on the periphery of the Third District, like a gem that had fallen into a turbid and filthy world.

A soft laugh came from the void, "The sun can illuminate any place in the world, I wonder if it can illuminate the Third District." This was the voice of the Lord of the Stars.

Zhang Yuanqing turned his head, his golden eyes piercing through the Taiyin power, landing on the Clash of Gods copy, and coldly said, "The Third District has not been opened. How did you send the copy into it?"

The voice of the Lord of the Stars came, layered and ethereal, from all directions, "The Star Origin is the central processor of The Way of the Extraordinary, responsible for the operation and calculation of The Way of the Extraordinary. Among them, the classification of copies, after the initial fusion of Taiyin, my position is the highest in the world, and I can already leverage some of the management authority of The Way of the Extraordinary, affecting the operation of The Way of the Extraordinary. Treating low-level copies as garbage and throwing them into the trash can is not difficult."

"This is originally one of the permissions of the Star Origin." The Lord of the Stars' tone was flat, neither selling anything nor showing off his pride,

like a rule-transformed god, without human emotions.

Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "I know the permissions symbolized by the Star Origin. After being promoted to Lord of the Sun, I guessed that you could affect the matching strength of the copies. The difficulty of the Fallen Kingdom copy was your doing. You wanted to kill me in the copy, eliminating a potential competitor. Yi Cai suddenly matched with an S-level copy, falling into a certain death situation, was also your doing. You wanted to prevent the Void Demigod from obtaining demigod items, prevent Zhai Cai from obtaining the Knight's artifact, and Ling Jun's birth mother, everyone thinks she died in a copy and has nothing to do with you. Star, you hid so well. You have always hidden your ability to influence copies and interfere with deductions, including now, you have caught me off guard again."

This was the real old fox, enduring for a century, rarely making a move.

The world could not see his chess path, could not see his layout... and did not know what his trump cards were.

At every crucial moment, his trump cards were played out one by one, each time catching the enemy off guard, taking the initiative.

Using the secret method of fusing the Star avatar with Taiyin, he killed the God of Wine and used the Night Emperor to put most of the Lawful faction's demigods to sleep.

He interfered with the stars, turning his enemy into a blind man.

Using the CPU authority, he sent the Immortal Feather Sect copy to the periphery of the Third District.

On the other hand, the enemy's methods and moves were all clear in his deductions. If it weren't for the help of the Great Emperor Haotian, the Demon Lord would not have been able to deceive the heavens, and the current Primordial Heavenly Lord would not have been able to become the Lord of the Sun.

The Star was not good at fighting, but it was more hair-raising than the powerful Asura. The Lord of the Stars' layered and ethereal response came from the void, "Reviewing is something that losers do. Lord of the Sun, you have already lost the qualification to compete with me. I haven't integrated Taiyin yet. A preemptive decisive battle is your best choice."

Zhang Yuanqing said indifferently, "I will come, but not now. It's not that easy for you to integrate Taiyin!"

He raised his left hand, the divine power of the Sun flowing, condensing into a large bow. Then, a golden sun floated behind his head, and he reached out to grab a golden inner arrow from the sun behind his head.

The high heat emitted by this arrow caused the void to "melt" and collapse. Zhang Yuanqing drew the bow like a full moon, aiming at the Clash of Gods copy, and released the bow.

The arrow contained the will of the Lord of the Sun, carrying the rule of "never extinguishing," like a ray of light traversing the Milky Way, the copies along the way annihilating in the golden light.

In the Clash of Gods copy, oil-like, pitch-black, viscous power gushed out, and brilliant, dreamlike starlight gushed out. They intertwined and merged, forming gray barriers. The golden light howled and penetrated layer after layer of barriers, its own power gradually weakening.

The Taiyin power and Star power in the copy were endless. As soon as a layer of gray barrier collapsed, another layer regenerated. Seeing the arrow becoming dimmer and dimmer, and penetrating the barrier becoming more difficult, Zhang Yuanqing bit his index finger and drew a sun mark on his forehead with golden blood.

His eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ear canals suddenly spewed out scorching golden flames, and the blazing sun mark between his eyebrows suddenly shone brightly. Miniature golden crows drilled out, flapping their wings and soaring, chasing the arrow and merging into it.

Instantly, a flash of golden light occurred in The Way of the Extraordinary world, and the arrow shot into the copy, piercing through the Lord of the Stars with a black crescent moon above his head, and penetrated out from the other direction.

The nine miniature golden crows vibrated their wings and flew back to Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows. In the copy world, the Lord of the Stars, his whole body burning with golden flames, smiled slightly, "Thank you for helping me a little, burning the remaining spirit of Ling Tuo."

The attack of the Lord of the Sun would injure his body and primordial spirit, but with the Star Origin neutralizing it, the damage could be reduced.

However, Taiyin was restrained by the Sun, and the continuous burning would seriously injure the Lord of the Stars, while Ling Tuo would completely perish.

Zhang Yuanqing hooked the corners of his mouth and said "Heh." In the infinitely distant place, he raised his hand,

and snapped his fingers.

The golden flames on the Lord of the Stars instantly extinguished.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing's body transformed into a pitch-black, deep vortex. This vortex did not devour matter, it only devoured spirit.

In the center of the vortex, countless pale arms clung to the edge of the vortex, trying to climb out, pale faces protruding, emitting a mournful roar.

There were men, women, old, and young... with different expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. In the vortex, a low, dreamlike call came: "Ling Tuo."

The call of Ling Tuo seemed to contain a strange power, awakening the dead and stirring up a chaotic mental storm.

The mental storm howled in The Way of the Extraordinary world, unable to penetrate the barriers of The Way of the Extraordinary copies, but accurately entered the Lord of the Stars' body.

It made the black crescent moon above his head shake, made the darkness in his right eye explode with powerful energy, and made the veins on his forehead bulge. Ling Tuo's remaining spirit seemed to have obtained huge nourishment, fighting against his father and vying for the dominance of the body.

This was Zhang Yuanqing's purpose.

The previous attacks were just to break through the Lord of the Stars' defense,

to break through the barriers of The Way of the Extraordinary copy, so that he could successfully awaken Ling Tuo's remnant spirit.

The Lord of the Stars destroyed his path to complete the Sun Origin, so he increased the difficulty for the other party to integrate Taiyin, minimizing the losses.

Fu Jiawan Study.

Zhai Cai, wearing a black mink coat, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a limited-edition cigar in his hand, looking at the sky, frowning.

Just now, a golden sun appeared in the sky again. Zhai Cai sighed, "In a place we can't see, another demigod-level battle has occurred. As a sixth-generation single descendant of the Holy See's Knight, I can only hide in a luxurious study and smoke limited-edition cigars."

On the sofa in the reception area, Xiahou Aotian also sighed, "As the protagonist, I can only shamefully drink vintage red wine."

Saying that, he took a sip of the finest wine, said to be brewed in 1770, auctioned for 3 million federal coins, and each pour was equal to ten years' salary for an ordinary person.

Feeling the mellow and sweet aftertaste, Xiahou Aotian whispered, "Speaking of which, is it really okay for us to be like this? If Fu Qingyang returns, will he give us a slash each?"

After Zhai Cai fled to Fu Jiawan, he never returned to the Free Federation. In his words, since the end of the world is coming soon, why work?

But Xiahou Aotian heard Secretary Dong An Dieqi say privately that the boss was on standby here at any time.

Anyway, Zhai Cai stayed in Fu Qingyang's villa, enjoying the services of bunny girls. In two days, he squandered Fu Qingyang's collection. The focus was on cigars and wine.

Zhai Cai also generously invited Xiahou Aotian to squander together. Xiahou Aotian originally did not dare, after all, the reputation of Master Qian was deeply rooted in the Second District, and he was also a major shareholder of the Mechanical Manufacturing Company, the big boss behind the scenes.

Although Xiahou Aotian was promoted to the eighth-level Dominator, he did not dare to be too reckless.

But Zhai Cai said that Young Master Fu had entered an S-level copy. Based on my experience, it was a near-death experience!

If he can't come back, these things will most likely be inherited by his good buddy Primordial Heavenly Lord.

I feel bad eating Young Master Fu's things, but I am happy to eat the things of Primordial Heavenly Lord, that dog thief.

Moreover, the end of the world is coming soon. Maybe now is the last carnival of life. What is it to smoke cigars and drink some wine if we don't go out to commit crimes?

Xiahou Aotian thought it made sense, so he happily joined.

At this moment, Xiahou Aotian saw a figure slowly outlined by the desk, it was Qian Gongzi, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, so handsome that it was breathtaking.

Xiahou Aotian swallowed, and suddenly felt the wine in his hand a little hot.
