I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1303 - 683: The True Immortal Emperor’s Hope
"He might not use the Thunder Ancestor's methods again," the Heavenly Fire God Monarch said. "But back then, no one expected him to severely injure Yin Tianzi."
"Do you think he's guaranteed to win?" asked the True Monarch of Wealth God.
"It's not a certainty of victory, but a question of how long it will take to win," the Heavenly Fire God Monarch replied. "And how much of his reserves he'll need to use to slay this Upper Divine General."
"You certainly have high regard for him." The True Monarch of Wealth God was silent for a moment before saying, "It seems that the current Human Clan is quite different from what I imagined. It's time to get involved in the mortal world."
——
Qifeng Prefecture City.
After the battle with the Wutong Divine Mother, she had fallen into a deep slumber.
She already knew that Lin Yan had set out to intercept and kill that Upper Divine General.
But she also believed in Lin Yan's abilities.
He is a member of the Human Clan who excels at creating miracles.
He is a member of the Human Clan skilled in warfare.
Having attained immortality in the present, though outwardly no match for the Upper Divine General of the Thunder Department.
Yet since his emergence, Lin Yan has always faced enemies stronger than himself.
The Wutong Divine Mother had no doubt about the outcome of this battle.
She willingly descended into slumber to restore her divine power.
Meanwhile, the Qilin Ancestor was reminiscing with the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch, the two about to part ways.
One would return to the sea to maintain the Kunlun Ancestor Realm.
One was preparing to enter the mortal world, personally experiencing the worldly affairs of the Human Clan, following Lin Yan's path to become an immortal of the new era.
But at that moment, a great battle suddenly erupted.
The two exchanged glances, both looking solemn.
"This Human Race Saint Master truly acts unpredictably," the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch remarked. "Logically speaking, even with a force of two hundred thousand World Suppressing Army, he shouldn't be able to contend with an Upper Thunder General."
"But he never acts according to logic," the Qilin Ancestor replied. "The divine powers shaped by the two Emperor Realm Dao Fruits he possesses are enough to perform miracles."
"No matter how great the miracle, it shouldn't be like this..."
The Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch suddenly raised his eyebrows, softly saying, "That Upper Thunder General has fallen."
——
This battle!
Lasted only half a quarter of an hour!
When Lin Yan gathered the momentum of the entire military formation and set up the dojo, he charged at that Upper Celestial God.
Lightning erupted, covering all directions!
As countless senses converged upon this land!
The ground was turned into ruins!
Dust rose into the air!
Only to see a figure emerge from the dust!
His sword was already sheathed.
In his left hand, he held a headless divine body.
In his right hand, he carried a severed head.
This was the Upper Divine General!
In just half a quarter of an hour, the body and head were separated!
No one saw the truth of this battle clearly!
They only knew that in the span of half a quarter of an hour, the Human Race Saint Master, the foremost immortal of the time, had slain a battle-renowned Upper Celestial God of the Thunder Department!
The two hundred thousand World Suppressing Army suffered no losses, no casualties at all!
A great victory for the Human Clan!
A complete triumph!
——
This battle rendered heaven and earth silent.
All the Old Gods laid low, with no movement.
The evil retreated, leaving calm and tranquility.
"Luckily, this fiend had fallen into demonhood, and was greatly tainted by the strange aura."
Lin Yan thought to himself, "The Demon Suppression Divine Power was almost pushed to its limits, otherwise, to subdue this Upper Thunder General, I would surely be heavily injured, and the two hundred thousand World Suppressing Army might have suffered heavy casualties..."
He took a deep breath, stripped off the armor of the Upper Thunder General, and flung the divine body into the sky dome.
With mana, the sword light burst forth.
The True Words of Soldier Divine Power transformed into billions of sword beams.
In an instant, the divine body disintegrated inch by inch!
With this strike, he let all gods witness firsthand!
The current reserves of the Human Clan are enough to easily suppress an Upper Celestial God!
In an instant, the incense offerings soared.
Lin Yan understood that Human Clan reinforcements from all directions, such as Shangguan Youqi, the Kunlun Emperor, the Master of the Holy Alliance, and Li Chengdao, were all proclaiming his achievements at this moment.
Yet another Upper Celestial God, having assaulted the Human Clan's city, was slain by the Saint Master!
"Those who offend the Human Clan, even if they are Heavenly Gods, must meet their end!"
——
Silence across the ten directions.
The Qilin Ancestor said softly, "It seems he is about to enter the Netherworld soon."
"This battle is sufficient to intimidate the world of today!"
The Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch remarked with a sigh, "I underestimated him; this child's potential is boundless. Before long, he may surpass me at my prime."
Having said this, the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch continued with a solemn tone, "But considering this way, the path to immortality in this new era is a far wider and smoother avenue than that of the Ancient Heavenly Court's Immortal God's path!"
"If this is the case, I should also immerse myself in the current human world and embark on the path to immortality as early as possible."
"..."
As the voice of the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch lingered.
There was a certain flicker in the Qilin Ancestor's eyes.
"You should wait a while."
The Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch said, "Once he enters the Netherworld, the mortal world still requires a strong power to guard it. You, as the Ancient God Qilin, are already one of the pillars of the Human Clan! Once he returns, you can then go for reincarnation, and with this merit, the Human Race Saint Master will undoubtedly aid you personally!"
Hearing this, the Qilin Ancestor pondered and nodded, saying, "Very well!"
——
Within Skyfire City.
This Heavenly Fire God Monarch was also of mixed emotions.
He had also returned to the peak state of an Upper Celestial God.
But now it seems that the current road to immortality offers a brighter future.
Maintaining the current status naturally made him the top combat power of the present era.
However, in the future, the era might change.
Reincarnating earlier and cultivating the Human Clan's methods of immortality may offer a hope of becoming immortal sooner, and therefore a greater opportunity to vie for higher authority.
"Do as you please."
The True Monarch of Wealth God said indifferently, "The authority I control is enough to influence the Ten Thousand Realms and receive endless incense. Abandoning divine authority to convert to the Human Clan's path of immortality is unwise."
He continued, "Moreover, only the Human Race Saint Master has taken this step in the current world! At present, he is merely at the rank of a Land Immortal; who knows what the future road to immortality will resemble?"
Holding such a great authority also symbolized immense power.
No matter the era, he would inevitably be the highest existence.
To abandon his stable divine authority in pursuit of an unclear path to immortality was evidently seen as extremely reckless by the True Monarch of Wealth God.
Heavenly Fire God Monarch said, "The Fire Ancestor Emperor has begun showing signs of awakening, and I cannot seize his authority."
"Before the great tribulation, throughout countless ages, I was already an Upper Celestial God."
"In the years to come, I can only remain an Upper Celestial God."
"If I tread the Human Clan's path to immortality, I may achieve the Emperor Realm through immortality in the future!"
"Though the hope is slim, it's not non-existent!"
"The Netherworld has already opened a path to the mortal world, yet it remains so calm today because the Netherworld is in turmoil."
"The source of turmoil lies in the gods leveraging the Netherworld's reincarnation to be reborn among the Human Clan."
"Many Divine Spirits have already determinedly stepped ahead of me."
"In such a situation, hesitation is inadmissible."
The Heavenly Fire God Monarch said with emotion, "As long as there's a shred of hope, it's worth striving for! Furthermore, in this era, Old Gods risk being corroded by Deceit Night, whereas the Human Clan's path to immortality seeks life amid death... it can eliminate the strange aura."
——
Where the Sacred Land of Heavenly Willow once stood.
Young Master Zi Yuan opened his eyes.
He cultivated to become a Human Martial Saint through the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill.
Now he has broken through to the domain of Breaking the Ultimate Heaven.
But he can channel starlight from the Nine Heavens above, utilizing the divine authority of his past life to boost himself, possessing the combat power of an Upper Celestial God.
"After today, I must sever the divine authority of my past life completely."
Young Master Zi Yuan gritted his teeth slightly and said, "The authority that has accompanied me for countless millennia, this severance will cost me the combat power of an Upper Celestial God..."
But only by severing divine authority can he suppress divinity.
With his humanity, he can integrate into the world and endure the Red Dust Tribulation.
Returning from the Red Dust Tribulation, only then can one become a True Immortal.
To travel a path far superior to the divine position of his past life.
One must forsake the powers of the past life.
With a new approach, become a Great Immortal among the Human Clan.
"The gods hesitate, none but me can make such a decisive choice."
Young Master Zi Yuan contemplated and said, "The Saint Master endured a single night of Red Dust Tribulation using the Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball, extending it to ten years! He is only ten years ahead of me in Tao, thereafter... I may yet surpass him, contending for the title of True Immortal Emperor of the new era!"
