I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1290 - 677: The Fall of Heavenly Destiny City!
"Kill!"
The people of Tribulation Ash could no longer wait and stirred up chaos.
Outside, a storm of blood and violence raged.
The whole city was in peril!
This kind of scene was not uncommon in various places among the Human Clan and different factions of the Holy Alliance.
Yet, with Heavenly Destiny City being under siege by a Heavenly God, it appeared even more brutal.
"Which god is possessing my body?" At this moment, a weak voice emerged from within the patriarch of the Jiang Family.
"My name is Lin Yan, the Human Race's Saint Master," Lin Yan said in a deep voice.
"..." After a brief silence, the Jiang Family patriarch said, "How did the Saint Master descend upon my body?"
"You are already dead," Lin Yan sighed.
"Indeed, I knew that my body was out of control, my mind not clear. Before dying, I used the Old God's Magical Objects to nail myself down," the Jiang Family patriarch sighed.
"Heavenly Destiny City is going to be breached," Lin Yan said solemnly.
"The Saint Master's sudden descent upon my body, could it be..." The Jiang Family patriarch paused and softly said, "Is this the Immortal Road?"
"Before you died, your obsession was too great, which attracted my Primordial Spirit," Lin Yan explained, "I will undergo tribulation for you... once the tribulation is complete, and the achievement is perfect, I will be able to reach the heavens."
"I see," the Jiang Family patriarch paused and said, "Does the Saint Master believe he can succeed?"
"It is destined to succeed," Lin Yan replied with a deep voice.
"That is good. It is not in vain that the Human Clan has fully protected the Saint Master's physical form, nor in vain that the Holy Alliance has abandoned all sides, bearing a reputation of infamy for ten thousand generations, to fulfill the Saint Master's path," said the Jiang Family patriarch.
"..."
Lin Yan gently exhaled.
As far as the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow is concerned, the Human Clan is fully guarding and resisting the divine invasion, waiting for him, the Saint Master, to achieve the Tao and become an immortal, to become the pillar of the Human Clan, to turn the tide, and to create a new era.
At first glance, it seems extremely passionate and exciting.
But placed in Heavenly Destiny City, there is only endless despair.
The Holy Alliance abandoned Heavenly Destiny City.
The millions of humans here lost their protection.
A Heavenly God attacks, the Old Gods break the formation, evil spirits siege the city, this place becomes a purgatory, with misery and suffering everywhere, rivers of blood, Yin Qi soaring to the heavens.
There is no hope of safeguarding the future of the Human Clan, no fearless bravery, only despair awaiting destruction.
Listening to the endless sounds of anguish from outside.
"Throughout endless ages, such tragedies have occurred more than once. It is said that during the Red Nether Era, tribe after tribe was devoured by gods and demons... with individual after individual being used as blood food on the dining tables of filthy creatures,"
the Jiang Family patriarch said, "To this day, the prosperity of the Holy Alliance, with the awakening of the gods, is still a castle in the air! Only if a True Immortal arises among the Human Clan will we have the qualifications to contend against all gods..."
He said solemnly, "If you cannot become an immortal, the future of such dire situations will engulf all of the Human Clan!"
Lin Yan nodded, saying, "And the appearance of such a scene today is just to guard me and wait for me to carve out the Immortal Road for the Human Clan."
"All the lives in this full city have died because of you, do not let down the expectations of the Human Clan!"
The Jiang Family patriarch stated, "The Human Clan has forged your path to immortality with endless corpses! After you become an immortal, you must remember, you are an Immortal... a human among the gods, a god among the humans!"
Lin Yan paused, saying solemnly, "I am the Saint Master of the Human Clan, and this thought will never change!"
"Good."
The Jiang Family patriarch's voice suddenly became extremely weak. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Lin Yan voiced, "Your last wisp of thought is about to dissipate into the heavens and earth, is there anything else you regret?"
"With the Saint Master possessing this body, if my body perishes, what will the Saint Master do?" the Jiang Family patriarch inquired.
"If this body perishes, my Primordial Spirit will return to my original form," Lin Yan continued, "If your wish remains unfulfilled, there will be no gain, but if your wish is fulfilled, it will assist my path to immortality to take another step forward!"
"I wish to die in battle."
The Jiang Family patriarch laughed and said, "In this life, I'm not a virtuous person, conniving, scheming, seizing power, secretly plundering Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, assisting my own and my family's junior's cultivation, increasing Tao, consolidating status... in the past, I would be the villain that the Saint Master would seek to punish and kill."
"But my Jiang Family, our ancestors helped the first Hierarch of the Holy Alliance establish the present era, receiving the grace of the Holy Alliance through the generations, allowing the family to flourish."
"Countless people of the Human Clan fight in the deceit night, while my Jiang Family lives in peace in Heavenly Destiny City."
"To this day, this old man is willing to give the last bit of strength for the Human Clan."
"I do not wish to become a Physical Body Evil, so I have nailed myself here."
"Such a disgraceful way of dying, does not suit me... Since the Saint Master has taken over my body, please fight on my behalf, I wish to die in the battle to defend the city, staying true to my name as the Supreme Elder of the Human Clan's Holy Alliance!"
With that, the voice of the Jiang Family patriarch disappeared entirely.
Soon after, one could see the scale-armored corpse suddenly open its eyes and say deeply, "I agree!"
BOOM!!!
The chamber shattered!
The scale-armored figure shot up into the skies.
With a casual wave, a blade of light slashed down, killing the members of Tribulation Ash on the spot.
Lin Yan enveloped himself with mana, shielding his presence from the humans in the city.
To the people in the city, it appeared as though the Jiang Family patriarch had finally emerged from seclusion once more to face the great enemy.
"Supreme Elder, mighty!"
"Jiang Family Patriarch, mighty!"
"Please, Supreme Elder, guard our Heavenly Destiny City!"
Voices echoed from all directions.
Lin Yan lifted the Commander's Seal, shouting, "Soldiers of the city, do not scatter, regroup the military formation, follow me to confront the enemy!"
His mana surged and spread all around.
The originally defeated army in the city, scattering and fleeing, suddenly found a leader at the forefront... many brave souls gathered, formed formations, and converged on the Commander's Seal.
"It's not enough!"
Lin Yan's eyes dimmed slightly.
Yet he still did not retreat.
He advanced forward.
This was a Heavenly God.
One of the True Gods of all heavens, a Divine General of the Thunder Department.
He had not been entirely corroded by the Deceit Night but was tainted with quite a bit of strange aura.
This god received the decree condensed by Prime Minister of Tai Xuan, arriving to attack Heavenly Destiny City.
However, the remaining humans in Heavenly Destiny City fought desperately, and incredibly had managed to hold him off for a day and a night without being completely destroyed.
"Though there are many Cowardly humans among the Human Clan, before a great battle, there are always some fearless ants,"
This Divine General of the Thunder Department, armored and with complex eyes, couldn't help but say, "Humans like you are truly respectable; in the Ancient Era, you might have ascended to heaven and become a god for the sake of righteousness. Pity you were born in the wrong time..."
He held a long spear, surrounded by thunder, and said slowly, "The Human Martial Saints in Heavenly Destiny City, excluding those who have completely lost control previously and became Physical Body Evils, the rest have all been killed by me, you should be the last one!"
As his voice fell, the spear thrust forward, the thunder instantly pierced the void.
The speed of thunder, arriving in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, it pierced through the body of the Jiang Family patriarch.
"Having killed you, Heavenly Destiny City will have no Human Martial Saints left, the military formation will collapse, unable to muster any momentum, no longer able to resist divine punishment!"
As the Divine General's voice fell,
In the next moment, this god was taken aback and said, "An illusion?"
He saw starlight flickering.
The Jiang Family patriarch, pierced by thunder, was merely an illusion.
This was the Heavenly Star Ten Thousand Shadows Mirage Wind Divine Cloud Step!
This current body, the foundation of a Human Martial Saint!
Although Lin Yan's Divine Skills were absent, the myriad techniques he had learned were fully engraved in his heart. As long as he had enough mana... he could bring them to life!
"It's the Human Race Saint Master's movement technique!"
The Divine General of the Thunder Department raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly, a light struck from behind.
It was a blade of light!
Ninefold Returning Ruins Ten Thousand Tribulations Annihilation Profound Blood Sun Saber!
BOOM!
Lightning exploded!
The blade shattered!
"The blade of the Human Race Saint Master?"
The Divine General pondered, "Previously, when I casually struck you down, you did not exhibit such capabilities! But, even if you have suddenly grasped the Human Race Saint Master's true techniques, you still are not the Saint Master..."
He turned around, sneering, "As it turns out, you have already become a Physical Body Evil, no longer human."
"This body may change, but the heart does not!"
Lin Yan's cultivation technique activated, suddenly transforming.
