I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1282 - 673: Heaven-Reaching Scroll! Immortal Road!

"The medicine gatherer is a precedent, gathering the essence blood of all races, ultimately only becoming its prey!"

Lin Yan spoke with a complex tone, slowly saying, "My path to immortality should not head in this direction."

He closed his eyes slightly, sensing his own Divine Skills.

Qi Eating!

Demon Suppression!

These two Great Divine Powers originated from the Old God but were completed by the Human Clan.

It was through the offerings of incense by generations of the Human Clan from the Upper Heaven and Kunlun, performing ritual practices, that they were perfected, ultimately becoming part of Lin Yan's body, becoming the new hope of the Human Clan.

To abandon the Human Clan is to abandon the original intent of these Great Divine Powers, and to abandon his grand aspiration as a Saint Master.

"That path to immortality eight years ago was indeed quite peculiar."

The Little White Ape said, "Subdue all gods, with a myriad of deities bowing!"

People revere divine spirits, thus offering incense to them.

If the divine revere me, then I become the master of all gods, worthy to be the Heavenly Emperor.

"My abilities have reached the mortal world's peak, and with ten billion incense offerings, I can wield a strike comparable to that of a Heavenly God... But it is not enough to suppress all the divine spirits in the world."

Lin Yan chuckled and said, "If all the gods worship me, I will become immortal! However, if I cannot become immortal, I cannot make the deities worship! This is a dead end!"

Saying this, he looked at the Magic Method Young Master Ren had just sent over, saying, "Red Dust Training, comprehending the past... experiencing birth, old age, sickness, and death, going through joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, enduring gratitude, grievances, and enmity, witnessing the turning of seasons, tasting all the sufferings of the world, overcoming tribulations and being reborn, breaking out of the cocoon to emerge transformed."

In his mind, he recalled the past.

Starting from the Red Nether Era.

To the Human Emperor Era.

Until returning to the present age.

He had gone through many things.

Among them, some events increased his Dao Rhythm.

He saw Lord Lu and sent the old gentleman on his final journey, feeling inevitable sorrow in his heart, which led to an increase in Dao Rhythm thereafter.

He returned to High Willow City, where his family reunited, and after the joy, his Dao Rhythm also grew.

Previously, in Qifeng Prefecture City, he drank with Lv Tang, Han Zheng, and Lu Changsheng, and under the protection of the Wutong Divine Mother, relaxed and conversed freely, sleeping peacefully with an increase in Dao Rhythm afterward.

These incidents, piece by piece, proved that he could also increase his Dao Rhythm in the mortal world.

"This direction was considered back then, and after years of deduction, it indeed holds hope for immortality."

The white-haired young man muttered, "I just don't know how many years it would take to perfect a subsequent cultivation technique based on the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill as a foundation in this direction..."

Lin Yan slowly said, "These past ten years have not been without progress; they have been deducing the direction of 'Red Dust Tribulation' and simultaneously creating the Red Dust Tribulation cultivation technique..."

In these ten years, a framework has already been established with a basic foundation.

Next, the Ten Thousand Heroes of the Human Race are to work together, temporarily abandoning research in other directions to study the Red Dust Tribulation Method with full force, and Lin Yan believes it won't take too long.

He looked up, saying, "If the Taichu Divine Wood can keep burning, perhaps it won't be long before the Human Clan's immortality path is initially completed."

Unfortunately, after burning for over a decade, not much is left of the Taichu Divine Wood.

This Taichu Divine Wood came from the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch; back then, it was hidden from the Yin Tianzi and landed beside Lin Yan, growing through the Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball's ages.

Later it came into the First Human Emperor's possession, existed for thousands of years, and then into the Second Human Emperor's hands.

Afterward, in the Kunlun Ancestor Realm, it was cultivated for thousands of years.

A ten-thousand-year-old ancient tree, constantly being chopped, sent into the Enlightenment Furnace for over ten years of consumption, and today, only a stump remains.

If it goes on this way, we will have to dig up the roots of the Taichu Divine Wood and throw them into the furnace for burning.

It's fortunate that this Taichu Divine Wood never developed Spiritual Wisdom; otherwise, facing such an ancestor of trees, it wouldn't have been good to keep chopping it.

"How much longer can we hold on?"

The white-haired young man suddenly asked.

"I don't know."

Lin Yan lightly shook his head and said, "This Enlightenment Ancient Wood, which is the Taichu Divine Wood, can't withstand any more cutting unless we dig up the roots, but even then, it can't support a year."

Saying this, he added, "Within this year, if they cannot create the cultivation method to continue the Immortal Road... without the Enlightenment Divine Smoke, future progress will be much slower!"

More importantly, the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow might not last a year.

In the recent decade, the divine invaders, evil creatures' harassment, Celestials' provocations, and Tribulation Ash ambushes have been frequent.

Within and outside the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow, there have been constant casualties.

The Ten Thousand Heroes of the Human Race exhausting themselves to death, those assassinated by Celestials and Tribulation Ash, and some losing control in madness...

Externally, the World Suppressing Army, along with the millions of Kunlun troops, faced similar situations... Moreover, while guarding the outside, they withstand the evil harassments and attacks from the Old Gods, feeling despair amidst endless wars.

Many strong humans, knowing they couldn't master the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, yet had to protect the new volume of the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill with their lives.

In the decade, the Human Clan's elites have died batch after batch, being replaced time and again.

And outside, the Deceit Night becomes more rampant, evil creatures constantly emerging, divine spirits growing stronger... The world is in turmoil, and as these elites are drawn to the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow, all sides feel immense pressure.

With some high-ranking humans using the God of War Emperor Clan's Magic Artifact, employing the Heavenly Soldier Technique from the older days, training with soldiers... the consumption is just as enormous, and human resources are continuously diminishing.

If it goes on like this, the Human Clan's internals will collapse first.

"The Upper Heaven and Kunlun have both entered the world... and Penglai shows signs of doing the same, already sending people to the Holy Alliance!"

Lin Yan took a deep breath, saying, "Hopefully, with Penglai's resources, we can hold on a little longer! Relying on the talents of Shangguan Youqi and the Kunlun Emperor's son, they should be able to suppress the situation..."

Saying this, he added, "However, defending the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow might not be easy."

Northern Territory border.

The cities at the border have been breached by the Northern Evil God.

The leading god was the Prime Minister of Tai Xuan from the old days.

He wielded the power of the Heavenly Court, commanding this era's gods.

Before Him stood a savage wolf, with divine might vast, drawing starlight.

One of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Kui Wood Wolf.

Before him, bound by the Old God's Magical Objects, awaiting slaughter, was a woman.

The Supreme Elder of the Holy Alliance and Human Martial Saint.

The former Great City Guard of the Ninth City in the Northern Territory, Lu Qingshuang.

She ascended to the Supreme Pavilion alongside Prince Zhen Nan, Hong Xiao, in their generation of remarkable talents.

In the past, she witnessed Lin Yan slay Marquis Wangxi.

Over twenty years without seeing each other, she has broken through the Fourth Heaven.

But in the presence of the Heavenly God, she is just delectable Blood Food.

"I once thought I could ascend to the top of the world in my lifetime, breaking through the Nine Heavens, even Breaking the Ultimate Heaven."

Lu Qingshuang's eyes dimmed, thinking, "It is said that the Saint Master has a Heavenly Method that allows one to Break the Ultimate Heaven while maintaining a Leakless True Body... Alas, I will never touch it in this life."

She sighed and, in her mind, she couldn't help but think of the Saint Master from back then.

Alas, since the parting at Heavenly Destiny City, she has never seen the Saint Master again.

From now on, she will never see him again.

She wondered if such a person as the Saint Master would eventually attain the Dao and become immortal?

And also wondered if such a person as the Saint Master would eventually marry and have children?

Her thoughts were in disarray when she heard the voice of the Prime Minister of Tai Xuan coming to her ears.

"All of you have restored to the battle power of Upper Celestial Gods, reaching the peak of ancient times."

The Prime Minister of Tai Xuan slowly said, "Humanity, over a decade ago, drew all the outstanding members of their race, attempting to forge a path to immortality..."

His gaze swept over them as he slowly said, "If there is a new path to immortality, wouldn't we become the dregs of an old era? Just like when the Heavenly Court was established in ancient times, the divine spirits of the ancient era were mostly discarded by the times, leading to their demise..."

"These past ten years, we dared not fight to the death while our abilities were yet restored."

"Today, we have probed the foundation of the Human Saint Master; even with the blessings of millions of army formations, he is only at the mid-level among the Heavenly Gods in combat power."

"As long as those present join forces, suppressing and killing the Human Saint Master would require no great effort!"

"Hundreds of thousands of human elites, a so-called Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow, are fundamentally insignificant."

"With the combined force of six Upper Celestial Gods, our safety is guaranteed, the consumption is minimal, yet we can thoroughly annihilate the Human Clan's path to immortality!"

Saying this, he added, "I have another method, attacking from both the inside and outside, to achieve success in one swift move!"

As his words fell, his gaze landed on Lu Qingshuang.
