I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 401 - 272: The Incense of the Divine Spirit!

Chapter 401: Chapter 272: The Incense of the Divine Spirit!

The sudden change that appeared left everyone in the Three Gods Valley shocked and horrified.

Earlier, the people of the Three Gods Valley had been on high alert, fearing another disruption to their sacrifice.

The willingness of the three Great Divine Venerables to accept the offerings again was clearly a sign they had confirmed there were no external threats.

But now, the opponent was actually hidden among the trees on the riverbank.

Taking a step forward, a resplendent golden light pierced into the great river.

Boom!!!

The great river shook violently, its waves undulating at both ends.

In the center, the water surged with thousands of streams and numerous water spouts shot up like arrows, reaching for the sky.

Their majestic power swept through all directions!

The evil spirits of the eerie night also retreated under such intense might.

Ordinary small demons and spirits, perhaps not highly intelligent, still felt a fear of death due to their instinct for survival.

The evil spirits and demons that had gained intelligence had their own thoughts and wisdom, they sought good fortune and avoided disaster, quickly steering clear.

This battle shook all directions!

——

At the same time, to the east of the Three Gods Valley.

A burly man stood atop a cliff, looking down.

Bathed under the star and moonlight.

This man was dressed in a black robe, approximately in his fifties, with a heavy air of authority between his brows.

He frowned slightly and looked up at the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, a tentacle was growing from his neck, twisting like a small snake, breaking through the flesh and writhing out.

This was a mighty being on the brink of losing control over his body!

He was expressionless, stretching out his right hand.

His fingers were slender and long.

At the tips, they were so fine they resembled talons.

Suddenly, he extended his index finger and thumb, grasping the base of the tentacle.

With a squelch, his nails pierced his neck.

His eyes distant, the corners twitching, he pressed his fingers inward until half of both fingers were embedded in his neck.

Then, he exerted force on his arm and jerked it fiercely!

The tentacle was forcibly torn out along with the "root" beneath the flesh, bringing with it a chunk of rotting flesh.

On his neck, blood spurted out, revealing a bloodied, unnerving hole.

Soon after, the flesh wriggled, and the wound began to heal.

"The Lord’s injury has not yet healed, and such incidents occur daily. Without a solution, I fear complete loss of control in less than two months," said the young man emerging from the shadows.

This man, in his thirties with robust Qi-Blood, was at the Refining Essence Realm.

But surrounding his body was a shadow, that of a formidable evil spirit.

He was a powerful Cultivator!

"Two months is not a short time," the Lord said calmly. "Had it not been for the Old God’s Magical Objects I fortuitously obtained thirty years ago, which allowed me to cultivate the Primordial Spirit, I would have completely lost control over twenty years ago."

"It’s a pity that the Old God’s Magical Objects only helped me cultivate the Primordial Spirit, but couldn’t help condense Mana to refine the Divine Body," he lamented.

"Without the Divine Body, the speed at which I lose control of my flesh is much faster than that of a normal Qi Refining and God Transformation practitioner."

"But living these twenty extra years, seizing the position of East Mountain Prefecture Master, and doing these things for the Human Clan, I consider my life well spent."

As he spoke, the Prefecture Master calmly continued, "The commotion has begun in Three Gods Valley. Are the follow-up arrangements here ready?"

The Cultivator spoke softly, "Everything is ready, but... that temple priest at the Refining God Realm has only been so for just a few days, and the others are not at the Refining God Realm, so they will certainly not prevail against the three Great Divine Venerates. Will you intervene?"

"The order I received was to help handle the aftermath in the Three Gods Valley. As for this battle..."

The East Mountain Prefecture Master shook his head slightly and said, "The Holy Land did not order the extermination of the Three Gods Valley! They took it upon themselves to move against the Three Gods Valley. Victory or defeat depends entirely on their own abilities... if they die here, it’s their own recklessness!"

"What if they win?" asked the Cultivator.

"Then we’ll have to clean up their mess," the East Mountain Prefecture Master said with a smile.

"This Three Gods Valley, even the Holy Land finds it troublesome. I never expected a newly Primordial Spirit-cultivated temple priest, a young man at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, along with a few insignificant characters, would dare to overturn the entire Three Gods Valley," the Cultivator said softly. "Aren’t they just courting death?"

"Do not underestimate them,"

the East Mountain Prefecture Master said slowly. "The former temple priest of Wutong Temple in Qifeng Prefecture City, the mentor of the current Great Temple Priest, is no fool. Since he dares to make a move, he must be confident!"

"That young man named Wu Chang, known as the pride of Qifeng Prefecture, wouldn’t be brought here to die by Mr. Lu if there wasn’t confidence in his abilities."

"Just keep watching the battle and prevent the surrounding demons and evils from interfering with the Three Gods Valley. That’s helping them enough."

With hands clasped behind his back, the East Mountain Prefecture Master said with a smile, "This battle won’t last long."

The Cultivator looked toward the distance, "For a temple priest who achieved Primordial Spirit not through martial means, but rather through Qi Refining and God Transformation, there are significant weaknesses. And it’s only been a few days, I can hardly imagine him defeating the three Great Divine Venerables."

"You’re mistaken,"

suddenly interjected the East Mountain Prefecture Master. "The ability to defeat the three Great Divine Venerables doesn’t lie in that Refining God Realm practitioner."

"What?" The Cultivator looked startled. "Not in that Refining God Realm practitioner?"

"It lies in that young man," the Prefecture Master said, his expression solemn.

"But he’s clearly in the Qi Refining Realm," the Cultivator’s face was a mask of changing expressions.

"He’s not a normal Qi Refining Realm," the Prefecture Master said. "He killed the Vice Sect Hierarch of Tribulation Ash and also the Supreme Elder... both of Tribulation Ash’s high ranking officials were at the Daluo Immortal Body level, surpassing human limits and nearing the Refining God Realm!"
