I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1369 - 716: Who Can Block My Path to Ascension! (Part 2)

——

Within the South Mountain Sacred Land.

The Human Clan universally exclaimed the Saint Master's might.

Today, the Human Clan held endless banquets everywhere.

"The Saint Master occupies the south and has established himself as king." The Kunlun Emperor's son paused and then said, "However, within the Netherworld, there are five Ghost Emperors. The remaining four will unite, and with the Ten Halls of Yama and dozens of Yin Generals wielding the power of the Netherworld... Such pressure, if it were to sweep over again tonight, might be hard to withstand."

"Last night, they dared not battle, tonight, too, they will not dare." Lin Yan said, "However, the Netherworld, with its ancient legacy, established from the end of the Archaic to the beginning of the Ancient Era, spans countless ages... cannot be underestimated."

"Then the Saint Master…" the Kunlun Emperor's son hesitated, "What should be done?"

"Last night, the higher-ups of the Netherworld dared not face me, tonight, they won't rashly come forth." Lin Yan replied, "They will certainly seek various abnormal techniques to restrain me; if swift enough, in less than a hundred days!"

"How should our Human Clan respond?" the Master of the Holy Alliance pondered.

"Respond?"

Lin Yan chuckled and said, "Since my birth, I have often won with weakness over strength. Starting last night, the higher-ups of the Netherworld united, yet dared not challenge me! After this, they no longer have the qualification to contend with me!"

With Lin Yan's words, he slowly stood and said, "I shall retreat into isolation and undergo another Red Dust Tribulation. Once I emerge, I shall be a True Immortal! With my True Immortal might, the authority of the Ghost Emperor within the Netherworld, from now on, shall not stir under the vast might of our Human Clan!"

——

In the ice and snow lands of the North, within the Ancient God Heavenly Court.

"The Human Clan has completely risen in power, the Netherworld missed the chance last night, did not fully strike out to fight, and henceforth will have no opportunity to kill the Saint Master."

Transformed by the Heavenly Yuan Divine Furnace's Artifact Spirit, the "Prime Minister of Tai Xuan" sighed and thought to himself, "For these recent days, I have been suppressing the revival of strong Ancient Gods in the Heavenly Court, avoiding affecting my rule over this Ancient God Heavenly Court."

"It seems now, if suppression continues, as the Human Clan fully rises, this northern Heavenly Court cannot resist that Human Race Saint Master."

"Being of the Emperor Realm, I still cannot suppress them."

"However, it is not impossible to suppress ancient beings of the Half-step Emperor Realm."

"Even if my authority as the Prime Minister of Tai Xuan is not real, I possess all the traditions of the Ancient Era, and the Heavenly Emperor's Method, given an early layout, can hold back beings of the Half-step Emperor Realm."

"The body of the Northern Black Tortoise Water Emperor has always been under my control, and it's time for its revival."

In his heart, the Heavenly Yuan Elder thought, "Thousands of years of refining, the body of the Northern Black Tortoise Water Emperor has been imprinted with seals by me... the seals from the Heavenly Emperor's Method, it cannot escape."

The Northern Black Tortoise Water Emperor, Western White Tiger Emperor, Eastern Canglong Emperor, Southern Vermilion Bird Emperor, Central Soaring Serpent Emperor, together they form the Five Great Emperors.

But these Five Great Emperors were, in fact, titles bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor.

In the Ancient Era, these Five Great Emperors never truly stepped into the Emperor Realm, but had grasped parts of its authority, alongside their Divine Beast bodies, immensely powerful, considered Half-step Emperor Realm.

Adding to this, these Five Great Emperors aided the establishment of the Heavenly Court in ancient times, with illustrious meritorious service, thus awarded the Emperor title!

"In today's world, with no Emperor Realm emerging, controlling the Northern Black Tortoise Water Emperor, I will sweep across the land…"

The Heavenly Yuan Elder thought, "In no more than ten days, the seal of the Black Tortoise Emperor can be completely perfected, and thus awaken it."

"By then, endless Ancient Gods dare not defy my command."

"The Netherworld has already been struck with complete loss of spirit. Our Northern Heavenly Court shall march south, reaffirming the might of the Heavenly Court."

"Whoever can reorganize the world shall be the creator of the next era."

Looking in that direction, he softly spoke, "Human Race Saint Master, we have interacted many times, yet you are not qualified!"

Above the South Mountain Sacred Land.

The Tribulation Treasure Ship, adrift in the world for decades, at last touched down upon the earth again.

The beings within the Tribulation Treasure Ship once more witnessed the great earthly vista.

Among them, the elders were in tears.

Following the Saint Master, entering the Tribulation Treasure Ship, isolated from the outside for decades, most friends and old acquaintances had faded away.

Yet they still did their utmost to find their former acquaintances.

But for most of the Human Clan, from birth, they were within the heavens inside the Tribulation Treasure Ship.

The outside world was extremely unfamiliar to them.

They only knew it as the ancestral land of their ancestors, who later migrated into the Tribulation Treasure Ship, roving across the void of the Ten Thousand Realms.

"To this day, the Human Clan has stabilized, all of you may return to your homeland."

Lin Yan bowed and said, "Decades of separation from the world, for the future development of the Human Clan, all of you have toiled and achieved much merit. Here, I pay my respects to all of you."

Seeing the Saint Master raise his hands, bending his knees to the ground.

The Human Clan within the Tribulation Treasure Ship bowed one after another, shouting the Saint Master's name.

"..."

Afar at Qifeng Prefecture City.

Lu Changsheng smiled and whispered, "This is our Human Race Saint Master, even having achieved the Immortal God Level, possessing the authority of the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, he remains true to his origins, unwavering in his belief in the Human Clan…"

"He lacks the arrogance to overlook all beings, the pride of his merits, nor the disdain for the Human Clan after achieving Immortality, transforming into a Ghost Emperor."

"He can kneel to the weak Human Clan before him and perform this grand salute."

"In his heart, no matter how strong, he remains Human Clan."

With Lu Changsheng's words.

The Wutong Divine Mother appeared, reflecting emotionally, "Endless deceitful nights, humans' dark hearts, have never destroyed his conviction, nor changed his genuine intention, truly rare."

Lu Changsheng sighed, "If the mentor were still alive, witnessing today's Saint Master, successful and famed, gazing upon the Three Realms with pride, yet still remembering the belief of being born as a human, surely the mentor… would be immensely joyful."

Saying thus, he whispered, "Now that the Saint Master has become the Southern Ghost Emperor, I wonder where the mentor landed within the Netherworld, whether he can return, to rejoin our Human Clan?"

——

Lin Yan personally arranged for the Human Clan within the Tribulation Treasure Ship.

He further laid his Netherworld Internal View upon the South Mountain Sacred Land.

He completely acquired the authority of the Southern Emperor, and relying on the might of the Blood Sea of War God… in terms of authority, he far exceeded the Southern Emperor, sufficient to stand alongside the Central Ghost Emperor.

Although the Central Ghost Emperor held the Reincarnation Divine Artifact.

But Lin Yan occupied the Southern Netherworld… within him was the complete Netherworld Dojo, able to temporarily grant part of the authority of "Reincarnation" within his body.

He could send the heroic spirits of the Human Clan who died in battle over the past two days into "Reincarnation", bypassing the Reincarnation Divine Artifact in the hands of the Central Ghost Emperor, conducting reincarnation directly on the southern lands.

"When these heroic spirits of the Human Clan reincarnate and return, it will be your turn."

Said Lin Yan, looking at the high-ranking Human Clan members such as the Kunlun Emperor's son, "In the coming days, I will begin another cycle of a hundred trials! So long as the true Emperor Realm does not emerge, then once I break free, in today's world, whether the Heavenly Court, Mortal World, or Netherworld… none shall ever again be the disaster for the extinction of our Human Clan!"

Saying this, his gaze fell upon a child, his expression complex.

This child's previous life was named Shangguan Youqi.

In this life, yet to awaken innate wisdom.

But Lin Yan had already refined Shangguan Youqi's Great Sun Bloodline, embedding it entirely into this child's body.

In this life, this child's talent would not pale compared to Shangguan Youqi's previous life.

Even more crucial, this life's Shangguan Youqi, will surpass the achievements of the previous life with the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill.

"Your grandfather, Shangguan Xuanniao, led the heroic spirits of the Human Clan ancestors, disrupting the foundations of the Ninth Hall, diverting all the higher-ups from the Netherworld."

Lin Yan softly spoke, "He achieved great merits, establishing the current stability of the Human Clan, worthy as the father of the First Human Emperor…"

Saying thus, he gazed towards the position of the Ninth Hall, his eyes chilling.

The authority of the Southern Ghost Emperor in hand.

Henceforth, Lin Yan wished foremost to annihilate the Ninth Hall.

Because Shangguan Xuanniao, Shi Wen, and more heroic spirits of the Human Clan were all laid to rest there.

"Once I emerge, the first matter is to destroy the Ninth Hall."

Lin Yan thought to himself, within the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow, beginning his retreat.

Little White Ape, Niu Yan, Little Liu, separately stood in positions, protecting Lin Yan.

This time, Lin Yan relied once more on the cycle of a hundred trials, opening a new hundred cycles.

At the moment of commencing the Red Dust Tribulation Chapter, Lin Yan sensed anomalies.

"In the midst of mysteries, indeed, there is an intangible force affecting my reincarnation, delaying the completion of my Dao Fruit…"

Lam Yan thought, "I must see who still dares to stand in my path to becoming a Dao!"
