I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"You cannot escape judgment for what you did to my brother, not even by hiding for thirty years!"

Lin Yan's Heavenly Eye on his forehead showed a fierce expression, speaking coldly, "This time, you are a divine spirit, and I am still a mere mortal. Perhaps I cannot defeat you yet! But today you dare not kill me, and in the future... if I gain the power to slay immortals and gods, I will certainly not relent against you!"

The South Sea God was silent for a moment and finally said, "Above my left ear is the Divine Soul of the ancient Green Snake. You should take the Green Snake, use mana to activate it, and surround him to stabilize his soul..."

"Moreover, the Green Snake will help him fend off the invasion of the sinister aura."

"Coastal City was established earlier than High Willow City, but this Divine Body is less influenced by the power of incense, making my divine thought relatively weak. Once awakened, I cannot fully control this body."

"For years, both the sinister aura and the power of incense have been blocked by these two Green Snakes and two Red Snakes."

"The Green Snake on the left receives more power of incense, so it is relatively amiable towards the Human Clan and will not harm your brother's soul."

Paused, the South Sea Guardian God sighed and said, "With this god's power, I can only go this far, preventing further deterioration of your brother's uncontrolled symptoms! After all, this sinister invasion has always been irreversible through the ages..."

"I will take this Green Snake."

Lin Yan gestured with his hand, and the green earring on the Divine Statue's left ear came to life, glowing brightly like a swimming dragon, falling into his palm.

Then Lin Yan continued, "Someday, I will return here. If the power of incense prevails, so be it... But if the old divine thoughts still suppress you, the guardian god of incense, I will have no choice but to slay the god!"

Slay the god!

What a fierce declaration!

The South Sea God is held as the highest deity in the hearts of Coastal City's populace!

Just like how Liu Zun is a revered presence in High Willow City's people's minds!

Yet the South Sea Incense God remained silent.

For anyone else in the Human Clan to speak such bold words would be nothing but a laughing matter!

But this person is a Great Fate Teller, a Saint Master of this era, potentially surpassing past Human Emperors!

As long as he lives, the future Saint Master will at least possess abilities rivaling the divine spirits of this age!

Slaying the god might not be mere talk for the future Saint Master!

"What I said today is not out of anger or mere bold words, but to inform you..."

Lin Yan spoke coldly, "When I smash the Demon Domain, not just the populace of one city but even the populace of a Holy Land can relocate using the Holy Alliance's resources! If deemed the city cannot lack divine protection, then I will relocate the entire city's populace!"

"Understood!"

The South Sea Guardian God responded!

Lin Yan walked out of the Temple.

The Great Temple Priest waited for a long time but saw the Saint Master leave the Temple without saying a word.

He was still puzzled when someone reported, "Not good... The Divine Venerable's left ear, the Azure Dragon Spirit, is missing..."

"What?"

The Great Temple Priest was shocked.

He is the temple priest of this city and knows that under the Divine Venerable's double ears and feet are considered four divine spirits.

These four divine spirits are the attendants of the South Sea God.

From the Ancient Era to now, they have never separated.

Today, the Saint Master managed to strip an Azure Dragon Spirit from the Divine Venerable's body?

Was it granted by the Divine Venerable?

Or... forcibly taken by the Saint Master?

If it is the former, it proves that, in the eyes of the Divine Venerable, the Saint Master is the most promising figure in the Human Clan's history, thus showing favor!

If it is the latter... does it mean even the Divine Venerable dares not offend the Saint Master?

"What level has the present Saint Master of the Human Clan reached?"

The Great Temple Priest's eyes were filled with shock, his mind in a turbulent storm of disbelief.

Meanwhile, in the Observatory.

Lin Yan returned, waved his hand, and a Green Snake appeared.

"This..."

Lord Lu took a half step forward, showing surprise, and said, "You took down this Ancient Green Snake from the South Sea Divine Venerable's body? This thing is between a Magic Treasure and a Divine Spirit..."

"Just a Divine Spiritual Artifact."

Lin Yan told Lord Lu everything he just said.

Lord Lu fell silent, knowing Lin Yan's abilities were now unparalleled, but hadn't expected him to threaten the current divine spirits.

"Your final threat actually brought more benefit than harm."

Lord Lu reflected and said, "Though you have thoroughly offended the South Sea God, as long as you are alive, He will constantly worry about this!"

"In the future, for Him, whether the body is dominated by the new divine thoughts or His old thoughts involves a life-and-death choice."

"When there's worry, there's a flaw."

"At least during this period, in handling the power of incense, He will be extremely cautious."

"As long as there's hesitation, then the remaining Green Snake and two Red Snakes are likely to loosen the power of incense, letting the new divine thoughts absorb more incense."

"Coastal City will become more stable!"

Lord Lu continued, feeling impressed, "Your every word and action holds profound meaning, planning far ahead, it has surpassed what I can comprehend..."

"Lord Lu overpraises."

Lin Yan said coldly, "I didn't think that far, only this time using my brother as bait, was merely an ambush for me, involving this South Sea God... So I truly plan, if someday, this god's thoughts on guarding the Human Clan remain unchanged, I'll slay him as a personal vendetta!"

Lord Lu's expression halted, coughing, and said, "Consider that I didn't say anything."

Lin Yan exercised mana, surrounding his brother with the Green Snake.

Lord Lu had already exhausted all his mana and repeatedly consumed the elixirs Lin Yan brought back. Time after time, using mana, he stabilized his brother Lin Miao's soul.

The Heavenly Talisman was among them, proving effective on souls.

"Previously I also cast a divination."

Lord Lu hesitated and said, "According to your idea, there should be an eighty percent chance of preserving his soul; as for revival in the future, that's uncertain..."

"As long as it's preserved now, there will be methods in the future."

Lin Yan spoke, eyes partly closed, whispering, "This body..."

Lord Lu paused and then said, "Actually, people are born with Three Souls and Seven Spirits hidden in the body."

"Soul is the essence of 'True Spirit'."

"The body is the house of 'True Spirit'."

"With the body, one can resist the invasion of sinister aura; otherwise, the soul roaming the world for long would have turned into an evil spirit."

"But your brother's body under control signifies the sinister aura has exceeded the body's capacity."

"This house was meant to shield against the wind and rain, but now is on the brink of collapse."

"Preserving the body not only does not protect the soul but instead allows further invasion of the sinister aura into the soul."

Speaking this, Lord Lu softly said, "It's useless now..."

Lin Yan had anticipated this, yet still felt uneasy, he touched with his finger.

The Green Snake held the Heavenly Talisman in its mouth, surrounding his brother, the Talisman touching his soul.

"Lord Lu, it's better if you..." Lin Yan sighed, withdrawing his hand.

"Alright!"

Lord Lu immediately extracted the soul!

The soul revealed externally typically faces two outcomes.

Either the soul shatters and vanishes.

Or becomes corrupted by sinister invasion, degrading into an evil spirit.

But with the Green Snake surrounding and the Heavenly Talisman guiding, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits were gathered within.

And this uncontrolled body became an empty shell.

Little White Ape sighed, using the Taiji Yin Yang Bottle to collect this flesh.

Lin Yan collected his brother's soul, along with the Green Snake holding the Heavenly Talisman, into the Inner Realm Divine Domain, placing it within the Ice Hell.

He remained silent for a moment and then said, "I have various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as well as Elixir Pills here. Although Lord Lu cannot create realms, allowing you to cultivate to the Peak of the Refining God Realm should be enough..."

"Upon returning to High Willow City, could you restore three parts of his consciousness, enabling the three brothers to reunite at home?"

Thus speaking, Lin Yan sighed gently, "Perhaps... there may not be another chance in the future..."
