I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1271 - 668: Prime Minister of Tai Xuan! The Origin of Qi Eating Divine Power!

The Nine Great Ministers, in terms of combat power, may only compare to a single upper celestial god.

However, when it comes to authority, even beings like the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch or the Ancient Cyan Dragon Emperor must obey them.

Their will often symbolizes the decree of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor.

"No wonder they have the confidence to rebuild the Heavenly Court; it turns out they possess such powerful divine authority that they can command the gods with the Heavenly Emperor's might."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

He initially thought that the Great Evil God was the backbone of rebuilding the Heavenly Court.

But now it seems that the Great Evil God does not have the qualifications to command the gods.

He looked at the false Grotto Heaven not far away, saying: "This void has almost solidified into a Grotto Heaven, truly masquerading as the Kunlun Ancestor Realm. The Qi mechanism here is chaotic, with traces of at least thirty Heavenly Gods."

The Little White Ape gasped, saying: "More than thirty Heavenly Gods, working together to forge such a Grotto Heaven, to bury the master?"

"This Grotto Heaven cannot last long. The formation is tangled and is barely supporting it."

Lin Yan opened the Heavenly Eye on his forehead and said: "Once I step inside, if someone operates the formation, the void will shatter, the Grotto Heaven will collapse, and I will be buried within it..."

Niu Yan said in a low voice: "According to the records of the Divine Demon Clan, the collapse of a Grotto Heaven is like the destruction of a world... even a true Heavenly God may not survive."

——

Holy Alliance Territory, Eastern Coastal Line.

"What a pity, it was so close to success."

Young Master Zi Yuan, with his hands behind his back, sighed: "No matter how strong his abilities, how high his combat power, his foundation is insufficient. Until he becomes immortal, he is still a mortal. Facing the power of world destruction, he will surely turn to ashes and vanish..."

Behind him was a man holding a black Evil Jar, who sighed: "It's a pity, over thirty Heavenly Gods worked tirelessly for days, expending a great deal of divine power, to construct a tomb. Yet, when it came to the tomb, he was unwilling to step in."

"This is my mistake."

An elder in white robes came walking over the waves, stroking his beard and said: "I didn't expect to show a flaw and be noticed by the Saint Master."

He was precisely the Prime Minister of Tai Xuan mentioned earlier.

Looking at his demeanor now, there was no hint of panic or fleeing. Instead, he appeared very composed.

"It's not the Prime Minister's fault."

Another Heavenly God appeared in the sea, shaped like a monkey, one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Alnilam.

He sighed and said: "This person has the ability to predict fortune and misfortune, and bears the destiny of the Human Clan, being the person favored by fortune in this era. We cannot obscure his Heavenly Mechanism."

"Is that so?"

Just then, starlight descended, transforming into an evil wolf, who said coldly: "Prime Minister should be the one among us who has recovered the fastest, already possessing the combat power of an upper celestial god."

"This Human Clan's Saint Master is not yet immortal, limited by his cultivation. Even if he exhausts all his skills, the abilities he can currently display are only at the level of a newly ascended Heavenly God."

"With the Prime Minister's combat power of an upper celestial god, why would you need to flee in panic?"

"If you had torn away the facade earlier and directly engaged in battle, even if the Prime Minister is not skilled in combat, he could suppress the Human Clan's Saint Master with sheer cultivation alone."

"But it seems the Prime Minister does not trust us!"

This Kui Wood Wolf said faintly: "You're afraid, after eons of regaining your divine power, if it is exhausted, you will fall into slumber again..."

This Prime Minister of Tai Xuan, stroking his beard with a smile, said: "I serve the Emperor's decree, summoning the gods. If my divine power is exhausted and I fall into slumber, even with your protection... the matter of rebuilding the Heavenly Court would become empty talk."

The Heavenly Gods present all fell silent.

The other holds the Prime Minister's Seal of Tai Xuan Province, with the authority to command the gods.

Although the Heavenly Gods present already suspected that the other did not possess the Heavenly Emperor's decree,

yet due to authority constraints, they still had to obey the other.

Otherwise, it would be rebellion against the Heavenly Court.

With the other's Prime Minister's Seal, it is enough to gradually strip them of their divine positions over a long period.

Without a divine position, one is no longer a Heavenly God, just a Land Immortal.

"Unless one rebels against the Heavenly Court..."

Young Master Zi Yuan thought: "Or... another Prime Minister revives to counterbalance with the same Prime Minister's Seal!"

Among the Nine Great Ministers of the Heavenly Court back in the day, only the one before him has returned from the river of time.

Without the decree of the Heavenly Emperor, without other Prime Ministers' Seals, then this Prime Minister of Tai Xuan before him is the highest official position in the Heavenly Court.

"The Prime Minister views this child as having extremely high abilities, not to be subdued by anything less than an upper celestial god."

The Prime Minister of Tai Xuan said calmly: "In the current world, those who have restored to the combat power of an upper celestial god are not just one! We must invite them to subdue the Human Clan's Saint Master..."

——

Above the sea.

Lin Yan was about to unleash the Night Illuminating Divine Sword to shatter this Grotto Heaven.

But suddenly, on a whim, he withdrew the sword.

With a wave of his hand, he scattered various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which floated around the Grotto Heaven.

"Master, Liang Chuan is dead. What should we do now to find the location of the Kunlun Ancestor Realm?" Niu Yan said in a low voice.

"Return to the Holy Alliance?" the Little White Ape pondered.

"Since we're here, there's no need to return," Lin Yan said: "Previously in the Thunder Department's Penal Judiciary of the Demon Domain, I exerted my full strength, and the Kunlun Ancestor Realm could sense it... Now that I am in the East Sea, having previously shown the Great Vajra Incense Fire Divine Body, Kunlun surely knows of my arrival."

"True, our master's Eternal Mirror is still within the Kunlun Ancestor Realm." Niu Yan realized and said: "At worst, we'll display the Netherworld Internal View and search all the way there. As long as we get close, the Eternal Mirror will surely resonate."

"It's coming."

With a step forward, Lin Yan saw starlight appear and move ahead.

Before he traveled ten thousand miles, a divine light pierced the sky, coming in this direction.

It was a warship!

Though not as grand as Upper Heaven's Tribulation Treasure Ship, it was still an extraordinary warship!

In an instant, the warship approached, hovering in the air.

On it, a large flag waved in the breeze, displaying two large characters.

The characters differed from the current world's writing and did not match the Ancient Divine Text, but were more similar to the scripts of the Red Nether Era.

However, Lin Yan couldn't understand them.

"These two characters..."

The Little White Ape pondered for a moment, confidently saying: "They should be the characters for Kunlun!"

"Bai Yun."

A voice came from the warship, sighed: "The 'Bai Yun' of 'blue skies and white clouds'."

With the voice, a young man stepped out, saying: "These characters belong to the Kai Ming Divine Dynasty, inherited from the Emperor Era, but after thousands of years of derivation, they are also different from that era."

This person was dressed in splendor, with a sword at his waist, and the Qi mechanism pierced through the Nine Heavens.

He personally descended from the warship, bowing in greeting, saying: "Greetings, Emperor's Master."

"..."

Lin Yan's heart was stirred slightly.

The other did not address him as the current Human Clan's Saint Master.

But rather as the Emperor's Master from the Upper Heaven Era of yesteryear.

"Upon detecting the Emperor's Master's Qi mechanism, I immediately departed Kunlun."

This young man said softly: "According to the Qilin Ancestor, this scheme was set by Tai Xuan, one of the Nine Ministers of the former Heavenly Court."

Lin Yan nodded and said: "This being indeed claims to be the Prime Minister of Tai Xuan, whether true or not, remains to be seen."

"But to flee in panic under the Saint Master's single strike... it seems that the so-called Prime Minister of Tai Xuan is only so-so."

This young man from Kunlun said thusly.

"You're too kind."

Lin Yan said: "The other possesses genuine upper celestial god strength, but unfortunately is not adept at battling. If we were to fight, I would die, and he would be severely injured, divine power exhausted..."

Here, Lin Yan said: "He merely cherishes life and dares not to risk it with a mere mortal like me."

"The Emperor's Master is overly modest."

The young man said: "A great civil god, unskilled in fighting and merely issuing orders, no matter how high the authority, cannot command the Emperor's Master, and in battle, it would be hard to decide a winner in the short term!"

"As long as you cannot defeat the Emperor's Master in one go, then with the Emperor's Master's divine skills, Eating Energy and Stealing Evil, the tide could turn."

"Thus, battling him for three days and nights would be enough to even the playing field, possibly turning the tide and even slaying this god."

"..."

Lin Yan's heart sank slightly.

Eating Energy and Stealing Evil?

In the next moment, Lin Yan solemnly asked: "You know my Divine Skills?"

The young man nodded with a smile and said: "My Kai Ming Divine Emperor, with the foundation of an era, buried a dynasty of the Human Clan to acquire the 'Divine Dao Seed,' do you find it handy, Emperor's Master?"
