I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"So you believe that my current achievements are all due to the creation of momentum by the Holy Alliance?"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

The Little White Ape dove into Lin Yan's palm, thinking to itself, "Is this misinformation? Or did an anomaly emerge wanting to use the master's hand to eliminate them? However, to convince all those people, that one is definitely a rarity... Who wants to harm them?"

Boom!

Without hesitation, Lin Yan struck abruptly.

The Night Illuminating Divine Sword slashed through the sky!

——

Tonight, lying in ambush to assassinate Lin Yan were at least God Lords of the Creation level, and deep in the Sea Domain, two Sanctum Ascension evils had arrived.

But under Lin Yan's current prowess, they were mere paper tigers, all disintegrating completely!

"You're the Tribulation Ash from the Coastal City's Lord Qingling's Blessed Land, the one who seized a Suppression Object!"

Lin Yan reached out to clench the throat of the woman before him, saying flatly, "I remember you, Qiao Jing! The previous Commander of the Observatory personally apprehended you, but you managed to escape early..."

With a bang!

The woman turned to dust!

The Night Illuminating Divine Sword pierced through the Sanctum Ascension evil spirit, unleashing the Dawn Intense Sun Saber, turning it into nothingness.

While Lin Yan strolled leisurely, he had already killed nearly all these evils.

Only the small child, still standing afar, hadn't made a move, smiling serenely.

"Your cultivation level isn't high."

Lin Yan paused, saying, "But you seem to be the real mastermind of this plot!"

"The Saint Master indeed has a discerning eye!"

The child laughed heartily, waving a hand, causing a black jar to fly out from the bamboo basket behind him.

Great Evil Divine Artifact!

Yet Lin Yan's gaze slightly narrowed, realizing that this Great Evil Divine Artifact was not genuine, merely a replica from later generations!

Nonetheless, the Evil Thought within was exceedingly potent!

And in the next moment, this child looked up, uncapping the black jar, pouring its contents into his mouth.

A massive amount of black Qi Mechanism seeped into his body through his mouth.

His Qi Mechanism climbed successively, continuously strengthening.

"Saint Master, do you know why, though I could have devoured you personally, I brought along so many fools, allowing you to slaughter them?"

The child waved a hand, revealing a radiant sea below, blood light appearing within a hundred miles.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a Great Array had been set under the sea.

All life that fell within this array had their Qi Mechanism fully absorbed by the Formation, accumulating on him.

He laughed heartily, saying, "Saint Master, do you know my origins?"

Lin Yan responded calmly, "Your Cultivation Technique is quite strange, as is the Formation, harnessing all life within it to aggregate upon you, a method for cultivating Great Medicine!"

"You consider yourself the Great Medicine, absorbing their nutrients to augment yourself!"

"Looking at the medicine basket on your back, the hoe in your hand, it's evident... you're connected with the Medicine Gatherer!"

Pausing briefly, Lin Yan said, "But you're not as powerful as him; you're not him!"

"I am the attendant of the Medicine Gatherer!"

The child's stature grew continuously, speaking coldly, "Yet all the medicine I cultivate was ultimately consumed by him! I also knew this Cultivation Technique was refining myself into a Great Medicine, with my abilities growing, he would sooner or later consume me as well!"

"Knowing that the Saint Master has returned, I couldn't help but think that the old thing values the Saint Master highly, viewing you as the greatest medicine throughout history!"

"Why must the medicine be consumed by him and not by me?"

"If I obtained the Saint Master, couldn't I become the master, devouring the old one?"

"He will eventually consume you, even if you grow stronger; you won't escape his grasp."

"Once he consumes you, I become the side dish, doomed to death."

"Thus, I must eat you first..."

The child had grown into a giant of more than ten feet, speaking in a deep voice, "You have not yet become the Human Martial Saint, so the medicine has not matured, but you've been growing too quickly recently; if I wait any longer, I might not be able to consume you..."

"Can you consume me now?"

Lin Yan's expression was cold.

"Combined with the essence of all life you killed here, all the medicine power converges upon me..."

This Medicine Gatherer's attendant laughed heartily, saying, "Do you think I've followed that old one for so many years to cultivate medicine for nothing? Drawing on the Great Evil God's power, tonight I possess the combat power to break the Nine Heavens, and after consuming you, I will break the Ultimate Heaven and seize the fortunes of All Gods..."

His voice abruptly stopped.

Then he roared in extreme terror, "Where's the medicine power? Where's the medicine power?"

——

Residual Prison Mansion.

At the mountain's peak of the Snow Mountain.

The old farmer sighed, saying, "This child has betrayal in his bones; had I not taken him in back then, he would have died eight hundred years ago."

"For so many years, I've endeavored to teach him, imparting the medicine cultivation method, allowing him one out of every ten Great Medicines."

"I knew he secretly cultivated medicine and consumed it, too."

"I even considered that if, after devouring the Saint Master, I could break the shackles and complete the fusion of myriad laws, I would no longer eat this child."

"Unfortunately, he couldn't settle down and lived an extra eight hundred years for nothing."

One could hear the old farmer lament, "A waste to have extended his life span using the Human Pill..."

The Snow Demon King fell silent, then said, "For so many years, he indeed counts as a rare Treasure Medicine; do you intend to let him die outside without consuming him?"

"Who said my medicine, once outside, wouldn't return?"

The old farmer stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Look at the array the attendant set, using the fallen life as fertilizer to nourish himself... But his array failed."

The Snow Demon King felt puzzled.

The old farmer asked, "Why did it fail?"

The Snow Demon King softly replied, "There's no medicine power within the array?"

The old farmer nodded with a smile, "Then where did the medicine power go?"

The Snow Demon King's eyes brightened, saying, "The Saint Master obtained it? No wonder... No wonder he nurtures battles with battles, becoming stronger after each conflict!"

"Thus, the attendant died, and the medicine power will be acquired by the Saint Master, and when I consume the Saint Master, the medicine power will return."

The old farmer said pensively, "It's unfortunate the Saint Master's abilities are still lacking; otherwise, both the Tribulation Ash Grand Sect Master and the Longevity True Monarch of Residual Prison Mansion could be sent over to help the Saint Master mature sooner..."

Thus speaking, the old farmer lightly sighed, "I guess I'll have to wait until he breaks through the Demon Domain before eating him!"

The Snow Demon King remained silent for a moment, then said, "So this ambush was merely to ripen the Great Medicine, adding nutrients?"

The old farmer gently shook his head, saying, "The Saint Master is far from maturity; even if he turns around to consume me, it's still not enough! This time wasn't to ripen him, just..."

Pausing slightly, the old farmer smiled and said, "I fear that once he achieves the Human Martial Saint, he might actually manage to slay me! But now it seems much of his ability stems from the Heavenly Eye on his forehead..."

"This Heavenly Eye prevents even the Old God dormant in the South Sea from taking action!"

"But I fear not the power of the Heavenly Eye; his most formidable means are useless to me!"

"Thus, even if the Saint Master becomes the Human Martial Saint, he will not be my opponent!"

"So the day the Saint Master becomes the Human Martial Saint will be the day I harvest the Great Medicine."

Having said this, the old farmer patted the Snow Demon King's head gently, saying, "Living so long, caution comes first! You ought to learn well, and if you do, when I devour the Saint Master, perhaps I won't need to eat you..."

——

Above the South Sea.

Lin Yan crushed the giant child's chest with a palm.

The giant child roared in fury, "The old thing deceived me! He said your true combat power hadn't even reached the Upper Three Heavens! He claimed that by consuming you in the future, this Formation was stronger than the legendary Four Symbols Spiritual Array..."

"Seems like you're a pawn he used to gauge my abilities."

Lin Yan reached out, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword in hand, perpendicular to the child's neck, saying, "More precisely, a sacrificial pawn!"

With a swishing sound!

The Medicine Gatherer's attendant was decapitated!

And Lin Yan, following the dying attendant's gaze, looked afar.

"Medicine Gatherer, if you don't come to kill me today, then next time, it'll be my turn to kill you."
