I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"No matter how high the cultivation of the evil creatures, no matter how extraordinary their intellect, in this deceitful night, they inevitably adhere to the law of the jungle, embodying the nature of the hunt."

"I can assure you, before piercing through the Holy Land of Daliao, they will not easily meddle in this battle!"

Speaking to this point, Hong Xiao said solemnly, "According to the plan set by the Supreme Pavilion, we need to capture the Saint Master of Daliao before night falls, or delay will bring change!"

——

Within the Forbidden Land of the Netherworld.

Endless yin, dark energy.

A phantom silhouette gently floated out.

It did not leave the edge of this forbidden land.

Though it was not an evil spirit, but a true divine spirit, it still feared the daylight.

At the edge of this forbidden place, its eyes deep, it slowly said, "I never thought that in this era, the Human Clan would dare to counterattack the Demon Domain..."

"Duke Wei Ling, are you afraid?"

Deep within the forbidden land, a voice came, saying, "A pattern unchanged for thousands of years has suddenly changed today, there's only one explanation..."

"The Human Clan has a variable."

Duke Wei Ling stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "The greatest variable is none other than the Human Clan having birthed a Saint Master!"

He sighed and said, "Last time, among the Human Clan, a Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch who could revive from the river of time appeared, but he was not truly of the Human Clan, just blocking here, not starting a grand massacre!"

"If the Human Clan's Saint Master storms in, given his infamous name, it's likely he will start a great massacre!"

"It's shameful to say, earlier when the Saint Master passed through the Demon Domain, if not for the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch blocking the door, I had the confidence to destroy the Saint Master."

"In just the short span of a year, this Duke has also gained three parts of fortune, barely restored to the so-called Saint Realm."

"This Duke was only gravely injured, nursing himself, while he continued on his cultivation journey, as of today, he is far superior to this Duke."

"If you do not wake up, he will likely storm in soon!"

Following Duke Wei Ling's voice.

Deep within the forbidden land, one gaze after another emerged, fierce and mighty.

"The Human Clan's Saint Master, has he not yet achieved the impermeable body?"

"According to intelligence, he is not a Human Martial Saint." Duke Wei Ling said thusly.

"I have seen the second generation Human Emperor, back when he was at the Creation Peak, he killed a Heavenly Demon that broke through the Three Heavens!" An elderly voice within slowly spoke: "I wonder, how does the Human Clan's Saint Master compare in rank to the second generation Human Emperor?"

"Even surpassing the Human Emperor greatly, what of it?" Another voice, cold as ice, said: "Though I have been dormant till now, with a slight loss of power, I still have the ability to break the Eighth Heaven, killing this Human Clan's Saint Master isn't a difficult task."

"How to divide the Saint Master's fortune, this time we must decide in advance!"

"Last time, it was chaotic more than once, if not for the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch arriving... After killing the Saint Master, we long would have started mutual slaughter!"

"Where is the Human Clan's Saint Master heading today? Let's not let other evil creatures in this boundary seize the initiative, falling into someone else's mouth."

"The Saint Master's destiny persists, he won't die." Duke Wei Ling said with a smile: "After fighting several more times, with his luck nearly dissipated, that's when to strike, should have absolute confidence, can seize all his fortune!"

"Duke Wei Ling, if you agree, and hereafter let us leave freely, and then bestow upon us a Time Forbidden Technique, the head and heart of the Saint Master can be yours!"

"With this achievement, you can be crowned king!"

"When the great age descends in the future, with the Ghost King's position, you won't be lesser than those divine spirits left from the Ancient Era!"

"..."

Duke Wei Ling was silent for a moment and then said, "This time, many strong figures of the Human Clan, the great army pressing upon us, the Saint Master is not fighting alone, if you want to discuss terms with this Duke, wait until capturing the Saint Master, then let's talk!"

"Agreed!"

Deep within the forbidden land, one voice after another echoed forth.

——

Night was about to fall.

A warship was seen suspended above the sky dome.

As Lin Yan stood on the Tribulation Treasure Ship, he glanced back, sighed, and said, "Though long prepared, tonight, with the evil spirits lurking, and demons counter-attacking... Quite a few soldiers here are raiding the Demon Domain for the first time, lacking experience, afraid many will die or be injured."

The Little White Ape spoke softly, "I've read the military books, any elite army must surely be founded on weathered old soldiers who have survived countless battles! Without undergoing this blood and fire slaughter, they are merely new recruits... Cannot be called elite!"

"Lord Bai's words are quite correct."

Li Chengdao said solemnly, "The plan we made earlier endeavors to minimize casualties, but since we are going to battle, there will surely be some damage! Even if the Saint Master spends a century's effort to delve into military strategy, finally setting a more precise deployment, casualties will still occur..."

He said this, "Even in the Human Emperor's Era, figures inheriting Ancient Heavenly Soldiers' warfare were crowned as Grand Marshals of the realm's military, yet they could not manage to wage war without sacrificing a single soldier!"

"Let's go!"

Lin Yan said, "The Taiyin Thunder Envoy should have been waiting for a long time!"

His voice fell, lotus bloomed beneath his feet, he already stepped out beyond the Tribulation Treasure Ship.

Li Chengdao's gaze slightly condensed, he did not follow.

The Little White Ape stood at the ship's prow, looking down.

"Actually, watching my master's silhouette drift away, it's as if bidding farewell to him heading for death; it's truly curious."

The Little White Ape spread his hands, said, "Yet you, elder, seem not to worry in the slightest..."

Li Chengdao did not speak, just silently piloting the Tribulation Treasure Ship toward the distant horizon.

——

Underneath the cave.

A silence.

Lin Yan opened his forehead's Heavenly Eye, where he saw within the dark unseen caverns uncountable human bones, littered everywhere.

Even some white bones lunged toward him.

Many envious souls and vengeful ghosts mingled.

This time, Lin Yan neither drew his blade nor used the Demon Suppression Divine Power.

He simply opened the Netherworld Internal View, enveloping these envious souls and vengeful ghosts, and the scattered white bones into his Inner Realm Divine Domain.

And he kept moving forward.

Ahead, white smoke curled, a charred blackness.

Boundless countless miles of underground world had been battered beyond recognition, with innumerable broken stones, demon corpses, and confusing evil spirit and strange energy mingling.

It seemed as though it had experienced a Heavenly Tribulation!

As if baptized by thunder, leveling all evil in its wake.

"The Taiyin Thunder Envoy, upon first reaching the Saint Realm, should not possess such might..."

Lin Yan whispered and moved forward.

Then suddenly heard a booming sound!

All directions, countless thunders meshed into a web, covering this subterranean cavern, everywhere, sealing Lin Yan within.

"Indeed, I lack such prowess, but this Tenfold Constricting Thunder Web surely holds this wondrous effect!"

From within this divine web of thunder, came the voice of the Taiyin Thunder Envoy, laughing, "It's said the Saint Master has unparalleled talent, cultivation advancing rapidly, but unfortunate within the deceitful night, there ever remains a risk of losing control, thus nurtured by battle, using enemy killing to calm the Heart Realm!"

"Whenever you slay an enemy, your heart is pleased, your cultivation invariably increases! Just right, this Tenfold Constricting Thunder Web, all extinguished life will augment my Tao journey!"

"So let the Saint Master also taste a flavor of being used as nourishment by foes to promote cultivation!"

With the Taiyin Envoy's voice falling.

Lin Yan remained silent, looking straight ahead.

"Earlier this Tenfold Constricting Thunder Web had slain two Heavenly Demons, one Holy Spirit... Exceeding tier Demon King Evil Venerable, all twelve!"

"Most ferocious and evil demons, over a hundred in number!"

"In the past, this was unforeseeable!"

"Only the Saint Master's power could intimidate them, causing them to cast themselves into the thunder web!"

"Frankly, I must thank the Saint Master's gift!"

The Taiyin Thunder Envoy said softly, "Now, my Tao journey far surpasses before... The Tenfold Constricting Thunder Web now is stronger fivefold than previously! Saint Master, please be my nourishment..."

As the voice fell, the Tenfold Constricting Thunder Web abruptly shrank inward!

To be precise, it's collapsing inward!

Thunder resounded!

Inside vanished into thin air!

"What? Fake?"

The Taiyin Thunder Envoy's voice was filled with shock!
