I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1266 - 666: True Dragon Spine Exchange!

Qifeng Prefecture City.

Lin Yan returned here once again.

This time, he was no longer in a hurry and paid his respects to the Wutong Divine Mother once more.

Han Zheng, Lv Tang, Lu Changsheng, and others were already waiting in the city.

Old friends reunited, bringing much joy and happiness.

In Lord Lu's residence, Lu Changsheng arranged a banquet.

"You're leaving tomorrow?"

Han Zheng couldn't help but look complex and said in a low voice, "Since you left High Willow City, you haven't stopped for a day. For more than ten years, I haven't seen you, and upon your return, you're leaving again..."

"After the ancient catastrophe, the Human Clan has been turbulent until now. It seems stable, prosperous, and flourishing, but in reality, it's like a castle in the air, without any solid foundation."

Lin Yan spoke with a heavy tone, slowly saying, "I cannot become immortal, my skills are ultimately limited, and there are no more significant advancements to be made... Moreover, without continuing the Immortal Road, future Human Clans cannot break the shackles. Even the strongest Human Martial Saints are nothing more than ants in the face of Immortal God chaos."

He took a deep breath and said, "If one day, I meet an untimely end and there is no one to succeed me, today's Holy Alliance will fall like the Human Emperor era of old, collapsing along with me!"

The atmosphere in the room was silent.

Han Zheng remained silent.

Lv Tang appeared even more depressed.

Lu Changsheng paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Then you must live forever."

Lin Yan raised his wine cup and smiled, saying, "Even all heavens immortals have times when they fall, let alone a mere mortal like me. The future is uncertain! As long as the Immortal Road continues, future Human Clans will produce immortals capable of matching Divine Spirits, and the Human Clan will always have hope..."

In all heavens and myriads of worlds, the countless realms are too numerous to count.

Since the Deceit Night invasion, all realms have suffered.

Some mortal worlds have practitioners.

But many other mortal worlds have only martial artists, and at most, one can reach the Peak of Inner Strength to become a local master.

As Deceit Night invaded, evil beings wreaked havoc across the land.

Generation after generation of the Human Clan, through various trials and the cruel Demon Transformation Technique, found a way to advance to the Refining Essence Realm.

Only at the Refining Essence Realm can one qualify to deal with evils.

For Lin Yan now, it is the same.

Martial Artists at the Refining Essence Realm can only handle ordinary evils but cannot match the likes of Evil Demon Kings. Nonetheless, it gives the Human Clan the power to contend with evils.

As long as the Immortal Road continues, perhaps future immortals, in short time, can only stand shoulder to shoulder with Land Immortals and can't contend with Heavenly Gods, but at least immortals will have the power to rival Divine Spirits.

In the distant future, the Human Clan may possibly see immortals who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Heavenly Gods!

Since before the Red Nether Era until this era, many schemes bear fruit with the focus not on the present but on the future.

For example, from the First Human Emperor until now, many succeeding plans awaited Lin Yan, the Saint Master, to take over.

"You've always been a sword hanging over the Human Clan,"

Han Zheng said slowly, "When you were in High Willow City, you were the same, a sword hanging in the heavens, overseeing all beings!"

He took a deep breath and said, "In ancient times, there were 'people above the people', and in modern times there are 'celestials'; if future Human Clans truly become immortals, can these immortals still regard themselves as part of the Human Clan?"

"Without balance, immortals will reign above the Nine Heavens, looking down upon all beings, treating the world as ants!"

"Whether the Immortal Road continues or not, your sword must always hang above the Nine Heavens."

Saying this, Han Zheng raised his wine cup and said solemnly, "Yan, I know you have walked out of slaughter, long indifferent to life and death, but your life is tied to the fate of the Human Clan, you must cherish it, if not for yourself, then for the Human Clan, preserve your life."

"Actually, Lord Lu once said, the fate of the Human Clan is the fate of thousands of the Human Clan and should not rest on one person's shoulders."

Lv Tang said this, his face serious, "Even if your journey is dangerous, don't die prematurely. It won't take long, with my talent, second only to you, I'll soon reach where you stand. When that time comes, you can disregard your life, and I will shoulder it for you..."

Little White Ape squatted nearby, murmuring, "For you to have Heavenly God combat power, you might have to go through a hundred reincarnations. By that time, my master will have slain all heavens immortals and become the Great Heavenly Emperor of All Realms."

"You damned monkey, dare to look down on me!"

Lv Tang was instantly furious and shouted, "Do you know that in these past ten years, not only have I mastered the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, but I've also perfected the Inner Realm, preparing to condense the Primordial Spirit? Who in this world is better than me?"

"I've heard the Holy Alliance produced someone who, through the New Technique, became a Human Martial Saint."

Lu Changsheng said slowly, "You have a past with the Saint Master, along with Lord Lu's assistance, you've obtained more resources than the other side..."

Lv Tang's eyebrows twitched, sullenly said, "Then I should be considered third in the world..."

Han Zheng said quietly, "This time, I secluded myself and cultivated the Primordial Spirit, after all, obtaining benefits from the Holy Alliance and the South Mountain Sacred Land, with the merits of mentoring the Saint Master..."

"At most, I'm fourth in the world." Lv Tang said angrily.

"Shen Jiang, being the first to master the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, has been heavily cultivated and has recently achieved the Primordial Spirit as well." Han Zheng continued.

"Fifth in the world..." Lv Tang said, dejected.

"Li Shen Sect's Closed-door Disciple, Junior Divine Sect Xu Dingye, achieved merits by attacking the Demon Domain. Three years later, he perfected the Qi Refining Realm, and later mastered the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, also approaching perfection." Lu Changsheng said quietly, "He is confident he can achieve perfection within a year and cultivate the Primordial Spirit within three years."

"Sixth in the world..." Lv Tang said expressionlessly.

"The Holy Alliance is vast, gathering talents from all over the world, many have mastered the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, and there are numerous who have cultivated the Primordial Spirit..." Han Zheng continued, "There are quite a few who have perfected the Primordial Spirit."
