Chapter 171 The Truth

Fear King bit the bamboo skewer, vigorously stripped off the roasted lamb, fat and lean intertwined, and swallowed it into his belly.

Then, under the increasingly impatient gaze of the Pure Yang Sect Leader, he leisurely took a sip of mutton soup, letting out a satisfied sigh, "The one who becomes the Lord of the Sun is neither the Lord of the Stars nor the Lord of the Taiyin (Yin Moon), but your old enemy, Yuanshi Tianzun!"

Boom!

The Pure Yang Sect Leader's head felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Astonishment and shock directly overwhelmed his reason, plunging his mind into blankness. His face contorted, and he exploded in anger, "Don't joke like that!"

You know my mental state isn't good, and I can't handle stimulation.

Fear King looked at him with pity, "If the battle for the Sun's Source hadn't already ended, why would I return to reality?"

The Pure Yang Sect Leader's expression twisted, "What about the Lord of the Taiyin? What about the Lord of the Stars? Are they useless? Are they useless?!"

As he spoke, he constantly calmed his emotions, pulling his frantic mind back from the brink of the abyss.

The news of Yuanshi Tianzun becoming the Lord of the Sun was simply challenging his bottom line.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader's current level is a peak level 7 Nullmancer, a peak level 6 Star Official – he never had the chance to devour the Day Wandering God.

It was precisely because the Illusionist's level surpassed the Night Wandering God that he could rely on his mental manipulation ability to counteract his own madness.

Fear King sighed, "The Lord of the Taiyin has fallen, and the Lord of the Stars has defected to the Free Faction. He and Yuanshi Tianzun will have a battle in the near future to determine the fate of Order and Freedom.

"No, it's the fate of this planet."

The Pure Yang Sect Leader once again calmed his emotions, suppressing the overwhelming jealousy and anger.

What he couldn't accept the most was Yuanshi Tianzun becoming the Lord of the Sun. This was worse than killing him.

At the same time, the Pure Yang Sect Leader was very glad that he hadn't killed that middle-aged woman surnamed Zhou, otherwise he would have already been noticed by Yuanshi Tianzun.

"The Lord of the Taiyin actually fell. It seems the battle in the instance was much more exciting than I imagined." The Pure Yang Sect Leader gritted his teeth and said, "With no heroes in sight, a nobody becomes a god and determines the fate of this planet? Is the Evil Faction going to destroy the world?"

"Accurately speaking," Fear King smiled, "it's destroying the planet."

Upon hearing this, the Pure Yang Sect Leader carefully scrutinized him, "Are you in the Evil Faction even crazier than I am? Or do you have a way to preserve yourselves after the world is destroyed?"

Fear King nodded, "Naturally!

"All Evil professionals can live on other planets, experiencing different civilizations and intelligent races. But this planet can no longer exist. As for the specific reasons, you're not qualified to know yet."

He finished the last sip of soup and finally got to the main topic, "Yuanshi Tianzun is not yet a complete Lord of the Sun. The Lord of the Stars deduced that the clue to preventing Yuanshi Tianzun from obtaining the Sun's Source fragments is on you. Bishop Bing is looking for you, but you delivered yourself to our doorstep. Fate is indeed mysterious."

The clue to the Sun's Source fragments is on me? The Pure Yang Sect Leader was stunned, feeling both absurd and laughable.

If he knew the clue to the Sun's Source fragments, would he still need to wait for the Lord of the Stars to deduce it? He would have already taken control of it at all costs.

He scoffed, "I'm honored by the Lord of the Stars' favor!"

Fear King pondered for a few seconds and said, "Star gazing and deduction are just like that, mystical and unpredictable. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Since you can't remember it, let's put it aside for now.

"The Forest King, protector of Dark Night Rose, said you have important information to tell us?"

The Pure Yang Sect Leader's heart stirred. Yuanshi Tianzun's identity was problematic and contained mysteries. Combining this with his sudden rise to power and his almost unreasonable ascension to become the Lord of the Sun, the Pure Yang Sect Leader vaguely realized the truth of the Lord of the Stars' prophecy.

Perhaps the clue the Lord of the Stars wanted was in his important information.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader immediately said, "I've been investigating Yuanshi Tianzun and discovered that his background isn't simple..."

At this moment, the Pure Yang Sect Leader suddenly noticed that everything around him had become incredibly quiet.

He stopped talking, looked around warily, and discovered that the noisy and lively night market had suddenly become empty. Everyone had disappeared. The grilled meat on the barbecue rack was still sizzling and steaming, and the mutton soup in the pot was bubbling, with dense steam rising in wisps.

This gave the Pure Yang Sect Leader the feeling of being in a horror story, and a sense of panic inevitably arose in his heart.

"Banishment!"

A low voice came from his ear.

Before the sound reached him, Fear King suddenly grabbed the Pure Yang Sect Leader's shoulder and, with a shift like a change of form, appeared ten meters away, avoiding the teleportation.

Then, Fear King threw a bamboo skewer at a certain barbecue stall in the night market.

In front of the barbecue stall, a man in a burgundy suit was gnawing on a sizzling skewer.

"Pfft, pfft."

The bamboo skewer pierced through the man's figure and pinned him to the stall.

The man's figure disappeared like a dream bubble.

Fear King chuckled, "During the battle for the Sun's Source, the orderly faction's demigods were all plunged into slumber. Only three escaped the instance, and Void is one of them."

Before the Pure Yang Sect Leader could speak, he took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully.

Streams of gray-white thick fog floated out, rolling and spreading in all directions, enveloping the night market and still spreading, threatening to engulf the entire city.

The thick fog would make it impossible for Void to lock onto a target.

Fear King dragged the Pure Yang Sect Leader, constantly flashing and switching positions in the fog, and said, "I haven't finished what I was saying!"

"He won't be able to finish," an imposing voice came from the air. The next second, clear, pure golden light penetrated the thick fog.

The sun rose.

The gray-white fog quickly dissipated, like dust and stains being wiped away. The world regained its clarity.

A golden light descended in front of Fear King and the Pure Yang Sect Leader. It was Yuanshi Tianzun, covered in golden paint.

As soon as he saw him, the Pure Yang Sect Leader began to tremble all over, his face filled with fear, as if he had encountered his natural enemy.

"Go!"

Fear King's expression changed, and he pushed the Pure Yang Sect Leader's shoulder.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader took advantage of the momentum to retreat. First, he hid his figure with Night Wandering, and then he activated his Dream Jump ability, searching for dreams within a few kilometers and randomly picking one to jump into.

Fear King's figure suddenly grew taller, revealing his three-headed, six-armed dharma body. He transformed into a black shadow and crashed into the Lord of the Sun, buying time for the Pure Yang Sect Leader.

Zhang Yuanqing took a step forward, grabbed Fear King's neck, and pressed him to the ground.

Boom!

The earth instantly cracked.

Fear King was pinned to the ground, his eight arms flailing, wielding swords, spears, and clubs, raining blows on Zhang Yuanqing, creating the sharp sound of metal clashing.

Zhang Yuanqing looked down at Fear King, his tone both majestic and calm, "You only obtained one demigod authority. It's not enough. In close combat, Shura can barely suppress me."

Golden flames that burned the flesh, spirit, and soul blazed on Fear King's body.

The sun, moon, and stars symbolized the origin of the universe. Even an incomplete Lord of the Sun had a level that crushed ordinary demigods.

"Be careful behind you!"

The Void demigod's reminder came from afar.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't turn around and said calmly, "I see it!"

He turned around and crossed his arms across his chest.

A black shadow crashed in like a meteorite from the sky, the terrifying fist force that shattered the void landing squarely on Zhang Yuanqing's crossed arms.

Boom!

Violent shockwaves raged, sending the entire night market into the sky. Tables, chairs, buildings, pots, and pans all flew up like snowflakes. In the process, gas tanks frequently exploded, creating brilliant fireworks in the night.

The windows of the residential buildings around the night market shattered one after another, and cracks appeared in the walls.

Zhang Yuanqing's arm bones and sternum were broken, but he didn't take a step back. He stared at Shura, who had descended like a divine soldier, and curled his lips, "You're here too!"

Shura said calmly, "I knew you were watching us."

"After advancing to the Lord of the Sun, wherever my heart goes, my eyes follow. He knows the secret of the Taiyin and can't block my gaze, so he uses the level of the Lord of the Stars to stir up the Milky Way and interfere with deduction. I can't deduce anomalies in the river of fate. Fortunately, as long as I keep an eye on you, I can understand his purpose. I didn't expect the Pure Yang Sect Leader to have already touched my greatest secret." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly chuckled, "For a century, he has never announced to the world that he has the ability to interfere with deduction. If he had used this trick earlier, Ling Tu and I would have understood a lot."

After speaking, two scorching golden beams shot out from his eye sockets, shining into Shura's eyes like lasers. With a "sizzling" sound, Shura's head burst into flames, his skull instantly pierced, and the two golden beams pierced through the back of his head, melting through the ground ten meters away.

Shura slammed his burning skull hard into the Lord of the Sun's forehead.

Dong!

The burning skull shattered directly, and the Lord of the Sun flew backward hundreds of feet, smashing through two residential buildings along the way.

Shura, who was three meters tall, with three heads, eight arms, and black skin, like a guardian Vajra enshrined in a temple, looked at Fear King, who had been burned to a crisp, took a deep breath, and blew hard.

The raging, inextinguishable golden flames were extinguished on the spot.

"Go find the Pure Yang Sect Leader." He picked up the charred body and threw it out hard.

"Uncle, banish the people in this city!" Zhang Yuanqing's roar came from the ruins in the distance.

"This isn't called banishment anymore," the man in the burgundy suit appeared in the high sky, spread his arms, unbuttoned his suit, and danced wildly in the night wind, "but the Great Teleportation Technique!"

Snap!

He snapped his fingers.

In that instant, the sound of vehicles colliding and various chaotic noises came from all over the city. After that, there was silence.

The subsequent gas leaks, explosions, and other problems caused by the city's lack of maintenance would still need time to brew.

In the silence, a golden sun slowly rose, casting clear, pure sunlight.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader constantly jumped in the dream world, using one dream after another to get away from the night market.

He didn't know how long had passed when he was suddenly forced out of his predicament and appeared in a residence on the edge of the city.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader looked around and found the bedroom empty, but the quilt was warm.

He didn't have time to think and quickly activated Dream Jump. However, there were no dreams in his field of vision. Within a hundred meters, a thousand meters, several kilometers, there was not a single dream.

The life nearby seemed to have disappeared.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader finally understood why he had been forcibly pulled out of the dream, because there were no dreams in the entire city.

The entire city was empty.

At this moment, a starlight rose in the bedroom, and Yuanshi Tianzun stepped out of the dazzling starlight.

Unlike the previous Lord of the Sun, this Yuanshi Tianzun looked no different from ordinary people.
