My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

The gap between a Yang God and an Yin God is larger than that between a human and an ant.

Each Yang God has a star that belongs to them, one that emits endless light.

In Qi Yuan's understanding, such a star is a sun.

A Yang God is equivalent to a sun!

In his previous life on Blue Star, the sun was the ruler of the solar system.

The sun accounted for 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system.

In the Canglan Realm, an ordinary Yin God could, at full strength, destroy an entire nation.

But a Yang God... if given enough time, could devour the entire Canglan Realm.

At this moment, in the distant starry sky, two colossal, incomprehensible Yang Gods stared down at everyone with their enormous eyes.

The impact of facing them head-on was terrifying and horrifying.

The true form of the Blood Sun Great Saint moved, and the stars around her rotated like ornaments in her cascading hair, which flowed like a waterfall.

When she spoke, her voice was vast, as if it echoed from within everyone's heart: "Those who do not reach Yang God are all ants!

You are all impressive quite, but you are doomed to have no future!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan shrugged. "I've heard that kind of talk too many times!"

When he was in the Qi Refining stage, he heard Foundation Establishment cultivators say that those who hadn't reached Foundation Establishment were ants.

Later, he heard the same from Purple Mansion cultivators.

As his strength grew, the phrase changed to Yin Gods, and now it was Yang Gods.

"You NPCs need to update your dialogue!"

Facing two Yang Gods, Qi Yuan was fully on guard, sensing intense danger.

But he wasn't afraid.

If he was scared of Yang Gods in the game, would he bow down to them in reality?

At this moment, the Blood God Great Saint stood by, sealing off this space to prevent Qi Yuan from escaping.

The Blood Sun Great Saint couldn't be bothered with words.

"Devouring you will complete me!"

As her voice echoed, her enormous form moved.

The stars hanging in her hair jingled like ornaments.

A gigantic hand descended from the sky.

This is the true form of the Yang God, her Dharma Body .

In the upper realms, Yang Gods will never appear in their Dharma Body.

But this was the space between worlds.

The enormous hand descended, as if it could grasp the entire Mortal Heart Realm in its palm.

But in reality, such a hand could, at most, kill all the ordinary beings on the surface of the Mortal Heart Realm.

A world of this level could not be easily crushed into powder.

It was a vast and unparalleled strike.

This was the strongest blow Qi Yuan had faced since his reincarnation.

All the ancient gods looked grim.

How could they block such a blow?

Could it be stopped by human strength?

But none of them felt fear; not a single ancient god hesitated!

"Kill!"

Qi Yuan shouted as he charged forward.

In the Mortal Heart Realm, he hadn’t killed many gods.

But his experience points had skyrocketed.

Plus, after visualizing the Three Pure Ones, he had reached the peak of the Path of Myth.

Otherwise, how could he have reverse-slain a Yang God's past self as a Mythical Being?

Now, he was facing the present self of a Yang God—her true form!

Qi Yuan transformed into a stream of light, rushing toward the Yang God's Dharma Body.

Compared to the Yang God's vastness, this light was like a mere speck.

But even a speck of light can ignite a wildfire.

"I shall assist the Heavenly God!"

"The Nine Luminaries illuminate the heavens!"

"All Thunder Division, kill!"

"All Battle Division, fight!"

"Emperor of Heaven and Queen of Earth, master of yin and yang, nurturer of all things!"

Nearly five thousand Great Venerables struck at once, closely following the Origin Heavenly God.

In the vast, empty space, countless lights soared into the sky.

These lights were insignificant compared to the Yang God, but they were like a spark that could set the world ablaze.

"Heavenly Stars Formation!"

"Big Dipper Formation!"

"Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!"

"Nine Netherworlds Twelve Earths Formation!"

Each ancient god transformed into a star.

Nearly five thousand stars formed the Heavenly Stars Formation!

Qi Yuan's form soared, and in his hand, a blood-red sword emitted an aura of boundless slaughter.

He alone sat at the heart of the formation, becoming its core.

The blood-red sword seemed to be empowered by the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Execution-Slaying Sword, the Trap-Slaying Sword, and the Absolute-Slaying Sword.

Looking at the vast Yang God, Qi Yuan's voice echoed through the heavens: "Together with all of you, I will strike a single sword!"

In the formation, every ancient god wielded a blood-red sword.

Slaughter, execution, destruction, entrapment... terrifying auras filled the air.

Nearly five thousand innate deities, holding swords, stood solemnly.

At that moment, all the gods swung their swords!

"Strike!"

"Strike!"

"Strike!"

The Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, Ten Heavenly Lords, Six Celestial Ministries, Three Sovereign Emperors...

Behind nearly five thousand Great Venerables were countless celestial gods roaring in fury!

Behind each Great Venerable, there were at least ten celestial gods!

Qi Yuan, sitting at the formation's core, looked serious as his blood-red robe fluttered.

All the celestial gods roared, transforming into a series of decrees.

The Three Pure Ones behind him opened their eyes as if they were sweeping in from the primordial era!

"Strike!"

Qi Yuan roared.

He unleashed the most powerful sword in the world!

This sword was the projection of the celestial heavens in this world!

This sword was the strongest sword in the Mortal Heart Realm!

The sea of stars trembled.

Time and space seemed to freeze.

In the empty sea of stars, everything disappeared.

Only slaughter remained.

The ultimate strike of slaughter, combined with the roar of millions of celestial gods, cut through the heavens!

The sword clashed with the Dharma Body.

It was a clash between the ultimate slaughter in the mortal realm and the Yang God!

There was no sound, no ripple.

The massive Dharma Body had its hand severed by the strike.

The cut was smooth, with no blood flowing out.

As if cutting through cooked meat.

The Blood Sun Great Saint's eyes revealed a trace of astonishment.

This sword had actually injured her!

A mortal sword had injured her!

It was simply unimaginable!

Though the Dharma Body’s defense wasn’t particularly strong, it wasn’t something a Mythical Being could harm!

But she wasn’t angry or afraid; instead, she was delighted.

"The stronger you are, the more excited I am!"

The chasm between Yin God and Yang God was insurmountable.

These ancient gods, born in the Innate World, were destined to never break through to Yang God.

Since the beginning of time, there had never been a case of an Yin God killing a Yang God.

The Blood Sun Great Saint remained calm. She shook her hair, and the stars in it exploded. The severed hand reattached itself.

"This sword is enough to shock the upper realms!

But alas, you are destined to die in obscurity, to perish here and complete my ascension!"

The mighty hand continued to descend.

The strongest sword strike seemed to have barely scratched her.

Qi Yuan’s expression was grim.

All the ancient gods were fully focused, their divine power at its peak, raising their defenses to the maximum.

Boom!

The Yang God’s strike descended with an unreasonable, unstoppable force.

All the formations of stars flashed brightly.

In the vast, dark night sky, the formations emitted an intense glow, like a spider web.

But facing the Yang God's strike...

Every ancient god’s face turned pale, and they spat blood.

The millions of celestial god projections behind them trembled and many collapsed.

Qi Yuan's face turned deathly pale.

Even with so many followers fighting alongside him, forming such a massive formation...

The gap between them and the Yang God was still too vast.

The power of a star, how could it be compared to an ordinary world?

"If you do not reach Yang God, how can you be worthy opponents of mine?

Origin Heavenly God, show me your full strength!"

The Blood Sun Great Saint shouted coldly.

She wanted to face Qi Yuan at his strongest, to consume him at his peak.

Only then could she maximize the benefits!

At that moment, her eyes were filled with greed.

After all, the Origin Heavenly God’s past life must have been unimaginable.

Every one of the gods the ancient ones visualized filled her with dread.

But so what?

Now, she was a Yang God!

The title Yang God represented everything.

The massive hand continued its push.

The Heavenly Stars Formation stood in front of the Mortal Heart Realm, and Qi Yuan stood at its core, channeling all his divine power to resist the terrifying onslaught.

Once again, the light of the Heavenly Stars Formation dimmed.

Qi Yuan’s blood-red robe was stained with fresh blood.

Among the nearly five thousand Great Venerables, nearly a hundred of them perished, their bodies disintegrating into ashes.

The once-mighty Black Dog, even after having visualized additional gods, was reduced to nothing more than a pile of dust under the Yang God’s assault.

The scene before Qi Yuan was eerily reminiscent of his encounter with the Bright Palace.

But this time, they were in the position of the Bright Palace, while the Blood Sun Great Saint had taken on his former role.

Facing the Yang God, they were unable to mount a direct offense; all they could do was defend.

But if things continued like this, they would all surely die under the Yang God's relentless attacks.

"Heavenly God saved me from the flames of war. To die for him is my honor!"

Shi Chongshan's wife, once a helpless woman, was shattered into fragments under the Yang God’s blow, leaving only a pool of blood that fell into the Heavenly Stars Formation, continuing to fuel the formation’s operation.

Without the Heavenly God, they would have perished long ago.

Dong Jianghe was covered in blood, laughing bitterly. “If the spring wind has mercy on the flowers, could it grant me youth once more?”

His body was broken, teetering on the edge of death. If the Yang God struck again, he would surely perish!

At this moment, Qi Yuan remained terrifyingly calm.

This battle... their deaths were inevitable.

This game had become his most challenging yet.

But he felt no fear.

For as soon as he learned of the two Yang Gods and realized that this realm offered no path to become a Yang God, Qi Yuan knew how this game would end.

He had tried countless methods; his right eyebrow had been twitching constantly, indicating extreme danger.

If they delayed, perhaps they would grow stronger, but once the Blood Sun Great Saint fully devoured the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Heart Realm, their true death knell would ring.

Right now, the Blood Sun Great Saint was at her weakest.

This was their best chance.

Because as their strength increased by 1, the Blood Sun Great Saint's strength would increase by 10.

So they had no choice but to fight.

Although, to everyone else, it seemed like they were marching to their deaths.

Human strength has its limits.

“Show me all your cards!” the Blood Sun Great Saint bellowed.

In the distance, the Blood God Great Saint watched the battle with ease.

How could Yin Gods possibly fight a Yang God?

Such a thing had never happened since the beginning of time!

“There is no absolute in this world!”

At that moment, Qi Yuan spoke, and his aura became more obscure.

Even though his right eyebrow was twitching wildly.

As time passed, the twitching grew more intense, signaling the terrifying danger ahead.

“The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven gives forty-nine, but one is hidden!”

The one hidden represents a thread of life.

However, to grasp this thread of life, he needed to fulfill all forty-nine.

At this moment, he would face two Yang Gods with his strongest form!

“The Great Sun shines brightly, illuminating all directions!

I don my black robe, decreeing nine chapters!”

In the starry sky, a virtual image of a star suddenly began to pulse.

A massive solar shadow hung in the night sky.

The terrifying solar shadow grew closer and closer.

The Blood Sun Great Saint's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. “A star’s shadow? Impressive, but it’s just a shadow... and nothing more.”

She was utterly indifferent.

But in the next moment, her expression turned to one of shock.

“Two stars? Interesting!”

In the midst of the massive solar shadow, another star’s shadow appeared.

Two star shadows hung in the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

“Not enough, you can become even stronger.

Then... devouring you will be all the more satisfying!”

The Blood Sun Great Saint’s eyes were filled with greed.

With the summoning of the two solar shadows, the threat posed by the Origin Heavenly God escalated once more.

But since he hadn’t become a Yang God, she felt no fear.

This was like watching from the top of a five-thousand-meter-tall building, holding a sniper rifle while looking at Qi Yuan below.

Qi Yuan was wielding a massive blade, which had become sharper and longer, but how could it possibly threaten her?

“Xiao Jia!”

Qi Yuan’s voice rang out coldly.

In an instant, Xiao Jia's figure appeared, her wedding dress fluttering in the starry sky, her aura deeply profound.

The once silent Blood God Great Saint now revealed a look of astonishment. “A Yang God’s past self? No, not quite!

“Clad in robes, Together as One!” Qi Yuan shouted.

Blood-red armor appeared on Qi Yuan’s body as he sat at the center of the great formation, his form towering, reaching an unimaginable height.

The terrifying, ferocious armor made him look like a demon from the depths of hell.

Wielding a blood-red sword, the towering giant seemed capable of cleaving the world apart with a single strike.

But under the shadow of the Yang God’s enormous Dharma Body, he was still tiny, like a slightly larger ant.

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s strength had increased by six levels.

But the gap between him and the Yang God was still far too vast.

“Not enough, not enough, nowhere near enough!” The Blood Sun Great Saint’s eyes gleamed with greed. “What other surprises can you give me?”

The stronger the Origin Heavenly God grew, the more benefits she would gain from devouring him.

At this moment, Qi Yuan, with the two solar shadows supporting him, and clad in blood-red armor, seemed to have reached his peak.

His terrifying strike could rival the one unleashed by the ten-thousand-star formation earlier.

But... even such a strike had only caused minor damage to the Yang God’s Dharma Body.

It had not touched the core, let alone killed the Yang God.

At this moment, the village elder Yulei sighed deeply. “We are willing to lend the Heavenly God a hand!”

Shi Chongshan stepped forward. “We are willing!”

Zhu Zhuangshi grinned. “We are willing!”

The priest Shentu's voice echoed through the world.

“I have a technique, called ‘Assimilation.’ We are willing to become the Heavenly God’s nourishment, to help the Heavenly God slay the evil god!”

The Assimilation Technique was obtained from the evil gods.

The villagers of Qingshui Village, after becoming True Gods, had been studying the Assimilation Technique all along.

Their research was not only to save ordinary people who had been assimilated by the evil gods but also because... they were willing to be assimilated by the Origin Heavenly God, to become a part of him and boost his strength!

The Assimilation Technique echoed throughout the Heavenly Stars Formation.
