I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"The Human Clan is truly the most intelligent race of this era, breaking through the innate shackles one after another."

The old chieftain glanced at Lin Yan, sighing, "Many years ago, first at the end of the Refining God Realm, they imitated the Immortal God Arena, forming the so-called 'Creation' realm! Now they have completely breached the 'Creation' level, broken through the shackles, and stepped into a new realm..."

He sighed and said, "Initially, I expected it to be a Human Clan strongman with the bloodline of the Great Sun God Monarch walking the path of Gods and Demons."

"Unexpectedly, it was in the direction of the Human Clan's cultivation that a new path of cultivation was opened!"

"But you are not that person of the Human Clan with the Great Sun God Monarch's bloodline."

"Who exactly are you?"

The old chieftain spoke in a solemn tone, slowly.

"I stand with my blade in this world, having only one identity!"

Lin Yan said calmly, "The Human Clan!"

The old chieftain was silent for a moment, then said, "Old Third died at your hands. From that moment, I have not underestimated the Humans on this land."

"This time, we are not here to hunt! I regard you as a true opponent!"

"Therefore, in my eyes, the thirty-six tribes are not thirty-six prey groups, but thirty-six veins of the Divine Demon Clan!"

He said deeply, "But you are underestimating my Green Emperor Clan!"

"Thirty-six tribes, and you alone with a single blade, think you can slaughter us all here?"

As the voice fell, mist shrouded all around.

All the demons and evil spirits along the way, amid cries of agony, gradually turned to smoke, merging into the formation.

This is the Ancient Era's Immortal God Great Array.

"Since the arrival of Deceit Night, the Human Clan is perhaps being truly acknowledged by the Imperial Tribe Divine Demons for the first time!"

Lin Yan's eyes slightly narrowed.

The voice of the Wutong Divine Mother came to his ears.

"This is a chessboard that the Eastern Green Emperor once accidentally created in the Wooden Emperor Palace in the past."

"Later, it was adapted by the Heavenly Court to become a military formation."

"A Divine General becomes a piece, can use Heavenly Soldiers as pawns, trapping and killing powerful enemies."

"However, the bloodline is limited, and the formation incomplete, with many flaws."

"..."

Lin Yan did not forcefully break the formation, only looked at the endless mist.

And within the mist, the old chieftain of the Green Emperor Clan slowly emerged.

Boom!

Lin Yan slashed forward with his blade.

The blade light was like blood, passed in a flash!

This old chieftain did not resist!

Allowed the blade light to cleave him in half!

Afterward, vitality reunited, restoring him as before!

Lin Yan was not surprised by this.

The Imperial Tribe Saint Heir, ranked third, still had nine lives.

This long-time leader of the Imperial Tribe would not be any less.

However, what Lin Yan found strange was that the opponent did not deploy any means of resistance.

"This old guy, not unable to block, just too lazy to block?" Little White Ape whispered, "He's that arrogant? How many lives does he have?"

"Something's off!" Niu Yan said, "This formation is mysterious, similar to the 'formation diagram' within that Imperial Tribe Saint Heir last time, it must come from the same origin!"

"..."

Lin Yan's eyes grew solemn, not making another move.

And the old chieftain stood before him, solemnly stating, "You killed Old Third, you should know that the Green Emperor Clan is full of vitality."

"He had nine lives."

Lin Yan nodded and said, "I wonder how many you have?"

The old chieftain slowly said, "Old Third's bloodline was not really that strong, it was just abundant in vitality and hard to die and resurrect! But, he fused with the inherited bloodline formation diagram from the clan, as long as not instantaneously annihilated, he could borrow the vitality within the formation, recreating himself..."

He waved his hand and said, "And this Great Array is modeled after the bloodline formation diagram."

In a trance, Lin Yan saw that the surroundings had become a chessboard.

"He brought his kin, constructed the Great Array, forming a chessboard."

The voice of the Wutong Divine Mother continued to come, saying, "Those demons and evil spirits were used by him as materials, condensed into chess pieces."

"This entrapment formation method, takes a unique approach... it seems the descendants of the Green Emperor are quite talented!"

"You truly don't intend to, preemptively break the formation?"

Only to hear the voice of the Wutong Divine Mother, once again entered his ear.

Lin Yan shook his head slightly.

This old chieftain, holding the supreme suppression object of the Imperial Tribe, was forced to abdicate.

Meaning, within the Green Emperor Clan, there is now an extremely powerful existence.

The old chieftain was forced to abdicate the Emperor's Throne.

And now the opponent holds the Emperor's Throne, it is feared to be comparable to the might of the Old God!

This time slaying the former leader of the Green Emperor Clan, will inevitably draw the new Green Emperor.

But Lin Yan admitted, with his current skill, he is not yet able to effortlessly kill the Old God!

"The Green Emperor Clan, has many lives."

Little White Ape suddenly realized: "Master thinks, if the new Green Emperor is comparable to the Old God, killing once is easy, but completely killing is hard."

"The other side can die many times, but the master must not die."

"So, the plan is to further understand the Imperial Clan from here, familiarize ourselves with the tactics of the Green Emperor Clan, know the enemy and ourselves, and emerge victorious in a hundred battles."

Niu Yan said, "In the past, the master fought enemies head-on, directly confronting them! But the Green Emperor Clan's methods are indeed peculiar... We must familiarize ourselves with them since the new Green Emperor is by no means an ordinary person!"

——

"Make your move!"

Lin Yan looked at the old man across from him and said, "I've made a strike, but it can't kill you... This formation can't be broken by brute force!"

"What a clever human clan, truly rare. In that case, I'll go first."

This old patriarch of the Green Emperor Clan suddenly revealed a blade in his hand, laughed heartily, and cut off his own head.

His headless body grabbed the head and tossed it forward.

The head transformed into a chess piece, landing on the board.

And in the next moment, within the formation, a demon screamed in agony, its power completely drained.

The old patriarch of the Green Emperor Clan used the formation to absorb all the demon's power, and a new head grew from his neck.

He looked at Lin Yan and smiled, saying, "It's your turn to make a move."

There were about twenty descendants of the Green Emperor within the formation.

This meant that he had twenty lives.

But those of the same clan were not as powerful as him!

Therefore, the former old subordinates, along with the demons subdued along the way, were to make up the difference.

Within this formation, he had twenty lives.

And every time he was reborn, he wouldn't be weakened!

——

The Northern Land.

Within the Imperial Clan.

The new Green Emperor gazed southward and said, "The formation reworked by my father, along with his methods, are too crude... For this era, they're too outdated."

"What do you think should be done?"

The voice of the Divine Spiritual Artifact echoed hauntingly.

"Naturally, face them head-on!"

The Green Emperor said, "Even without the Emperor's Throne, my father may not necessarily be defeated by him!"

"The same combat power that breaks through the Nine Heavens, my father has twenty lives, while the opponent has only one... How could he not dare to fight?"

"After all, he is old now."

"First being killed by the opponent once, then committing suicide once, he has already lost two lives now."

"Using two lives to force the opponent to become part of the board is a gain that doesn't offset the loss."

With the Green Emperor's voice, he calmly said, "Using the formation to seize the opponent's will, defeat their Primordial Spirit, and melt their flesh... Although this tactic gains much, it has too many flaws!"

——

Lin Yan quietly watched ahead.

After the opponent made a move, the formation's power greatly increased.

One life, one move!

This is the chessboard!

"This chessboard was created by the Green Emperor."

The Wutong Divine Mother said, "If you don't make a move, the game will be deadlocked, and if it lasts over two hours, it will attract a Heavenly Punishment!"

But the chess pieces on both sides must be equal!

The move dropped by the opponent was a life, a head!

And Lin Yan couldn't just use any object to substitute for a chess piece.

It had to be of equivalent weight!

"This chessboard isn't about chess skills, it's about who has more lives!" The Little White Ape gasped.

"Even if the master chops off both our heads, it would still be just two chess pieces." Niu Yan said sullenly, "Two moves can't win."

"This formation is simply shameless." The Little White Ape said, "Once we're drawn in, we have to act according to their rules?"

"At the level of the Eastern Green Emperor, words become law, within the chessboard, a world forms, and that is the rule!"

The Wutong Divine Mother said, "If you don't heed advice and break the formation early, it's likely hard to escape now!"

"Two hours!"

Lin Yan patted the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, "Kill him twenty times, and the formation's foundation will naturally be broken!"

——

"The situation is set, there's no need to watch anymore... As the formation solidifies, this human clan could either chop off their own head or wait for Heavenly Punishment, definitely doomed!"

The new Green Emperor withdrew his gaze, looked northward, and said hauntingly, "If I can conquer the nine great Imperial Clans and make them all bow before my Emperor's Throne, can I establish a great force within a hundred years?"

"Feasible!"

The Divine Spiritual Artifact said, then paused and said, "However..."

"Hmm?"

The new Green Emperor's expression turned grave, "If I establish a great force and enter the Immortal God Realm, what else could be the matter?"

The Divine Spiritual Artifact whispered, "It's not a matter of achieving the great force of the Immortal God."

Hearing this, the Green Emperor sighed and said, "If it's not about achieving the Immortal God status, it's not worth mentioning!"

"Your father has already been cut down nineteen times."

"..."
