Chapter 444: Chapter 293: I am Wu Chang! Experience the Way of the Ghost God!

"A name that can’t be erased?"

Duke Murky Spirit’s expression grew solemn.

Any name that even the Book of Life and Death couldn’t erase was certainly not of the mundane world.

Even those in the Refining God Realm couldn’t withstand a single stroke of erasure from the Book of Life and Death!

But if this lad had become the New God of the current era, then the Judge of the Forbidden Land would have no jurisdiction over his name.

If the name had been apprehended, why then couldn’t it be erased?

"That’s not right..."

At this moment, the Martial Judge shouted, "This guy claims to be Wu Chang... but why isn’t Wu Chang among these three names?"

"That clearly isn’t his real name," said the Judge.

He then continued, "I have never encountered a name that can’t be erased."

A smile suddenly appeared on his extremely pale face as he said, "However, borrowing your eyes and using Uncle Xianyou’s Divine Seal to capture a wisp of Qi Mechanism might not be quite enough!"

"If his blood were used as ink to write on this Book of Life and Death..."

"Whether it be the Refining God Realm, the myriad realms, or even the Master of Holy Land who is honored as the Martial Saint of the human world, all would be erased in one stroke!"

"No matter how powerful a member of the Human Clan is, as long as they reside within the Three Realms and their fate lies within the five elements, they cannot escape this Book of Life and Death!"

The Judge said this with a ghostly tone, "He has already arrived, Martial Judge... do you have the confidence to harm him?"

"Harm him?"

The color drained from the Martial Judge’s face as he bellowed, "This immature youngster would’ve lost his head on the spot and filled the Tai Sui, if not for the two Generals’ intervention—presenting it to Marquis as a new body!"

"Then go," said the Judge slowly. "The Left General will form your vanguard!"

The hand of the Martial Judge gripping the knife tightened as he said in a deep voice, "Only the Left General? Is the Right General not accompanying me?"

"The Great Hall of the Yin Yang Bureau has already shown activity, and the Right General must go to slay those presumptuous ants of the Human Clan!" the Judge replied slowly. "Do you still lack confidence in your victory with the Left General by your side?"

The Martial Judge snorted coldly and turned to leave immediately.

The Judge, with his hands clasped behind his back, tilted his head slightly and asked, "How much longer before the newly appointed thirty Yin Souls can emerge from the Soul Cleansing Pool?"

"A quarter of an hour," came the voice of Duke Murky Spirit. "Conserve them. These thirty Yin Souls will be the cornerstone when I establish my own faction."

"Understood," replied the Judge, then continued solemnly, "In the deepest parts of the extreme north, there are quite a few beings, including demons, evil spirits, and members of the Human Clan... They are not under Marquis’ command, but they have received Marquis’ tokens and have self-proclaimed their dominion here! When Marquis establishes his own faction, he can take them along, giving them a chance to break free from this era and be reborn!"

——

Ahead lay darkness, cold and terrifying.

Here, the Yin energy was extremely dense. If a living person were to stay here long term, their blood circulation would stop, their body would become rigid, just like a dead person.

If a deceased person ended up here, Yin energy would permeate their body, turning them into a zombie, incorruptible and immortal.

If someone’s Yin Soul stayed here after death, it would not only survive but absorb the Yin energy and transform into a ghoul, akin to an evil spirit.

"There’s indeed a bit of the Netherworld’s Qi Mechanism here," Lin Yan said as he looked back.

The Tai Sui’s flesh had completely sealed the passageway behind them.

However, in Lin Yan’s eyes, the flesh of the newborn Tai Sui was somewhat soft, like tofu, which could easily be cut through.

Merely using Tai Sui’s flesh to block the pathway would naturally prove insufficient.

But now, he sensed within the Tai Sui’s flesh vague traces of what seemed like "tendons."

Those were not tendons, but the originally shattered patterns of an ancient Formation.

As the Tai Sui’s flesh connected the broken patterns horizontally and vertically, the severed Formation traces had, with the aid of Tai Sui’s flesh... like veins, reconnected.

Even if Lin Yan used the Divine Bow in his hand to shoot an arrow backward, he would no longer be able to break through the Tai Sui’s flesh.

For what he faced was not just the flesh before his eyes but the ancient Formation covering the outskirts of the Forbidden Land.

To cut through this "wall of flesh" was akin to shaking the entire Formation itself!

"Once entered, there is no going back," said the Little White Ape as it poked its head out from the palm of its hand. "The way in is sealed. We have to circumvent through the depths of the Forbidden Land and head towards the Great Hall of the Yin Yang Bureau..."

"Fortunately, this little ghost knows the way. Otherwise, once we’re finished fighting, having to discern the direction of the road would basically leave us no hope of escaping before the Formation seals off," it added, casting a glance at the Rapid Ghost ahead.

However, Lin Yan spoke slowly, "After the fight, discern the direction? Among them are Ghost Gods, not ordinary evil spirits to be optimistic about."

"Even the master is not confident?" The Little White Ape was startled and exclaimed, "With no confidence in victory, why did you agree to this so readily?"

"There was no choice but to come!" Lin Yan slung the knife behind his back, resting the back of the blade on his shoulder as he moved forward, his voice grave. "It’s true that falling into the trap of the Book of Life and Death was partly due to its profound and unpredictable nature, but it was also because I wasn’t cautious enough."

"My life, my second brother’s life, and Fu Zhong’s life are all recorded in the Book of Life and Death."

"And my life is connected to yours, as well as the Little Divine Venerate’s life."

"Only by tearing up the Book of Life and Death can we all survive."

"If we can’t escape, at least my second brother will live, and the Lin Family will still have a pillar to lean on."

"Of course, Fu Zhong would also survive. He is a man of decent character and profound cultivation. As long as he doesn’t die young, he will be able to join the upper echelons of the Human Clan."

As Lin Yan said this, he quickened his steps and hurried forward.

The little white ape grumbled, "This doesn’t seem like your style, it’s more like Mr. Lu’s... With an air of twilight all over, as if preparing for the last moments of life."

"It’s not that bad."

Lin Yan’s eyes were cold and sharp, and he slowly said, "If I give up the new path, I’m confident that within half an hour, I can ascend to the Refining God Realm, finish this battle, tear apart the Book of Life and Death, and return to the Yin Yang Bureau in time."

He paused, then added, "But the current cultivation path of the Human Clan is fraught with hidden dangers; at the end, it leads to a fall into the abyss, into decay and corruption."

"The ultimate outcome is to either commit suicide or turn into an evil spirit, becoming a huge threat to the Human Clan!"

"With the new path right before my eyes, if I were to choose the old path now followed by the Human Clan, then what would be the point of resisting the urge to advance, maintaining my current realm all these days?"

"Over the past few days, Mr. Lu, my second brother, and I have been discussing and researching this new path."

"We have embraced the desire for this new path, hoping to forge a great road for the Human Clan, and to lay a solid foundation for future generations with this untroubled new law!"

"If I were to take the old path now, then everything I have done these days would have been in vain, wouldn’t it?"

With Lin Yan’s voice,

the little white ape whispered, "So you’d rather die than enter the Refining God Realm?"

Lin Yan raised his hand, looked at the little white ape, and said, "Haven’t you inherited the old man’s wisdom? Do I look like such a fool?"

As his voice fell, his gaze became colder, and he slowly said, "If I die here, the new path will be wasted, even more laughable!"

"Today’s situation hinges on one thing... whether the Ghost God deep within this Forbidden Land is as powerful as I imagined, whether it will push me to a dead end, forcing me to take that step into the Refining God Realm."

"Entering the risky road of the Refining God Realm, with an uncertain future, is better than dying here today."

As Lin Yan spoke, the little white ape peered ahead.

He saw not the slightest fear in that man’s eyes.

On the contrary, there was an extremely rare shade of excitement.

Since reaching the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm and mastering the Five Mountains Dragon Capture, his combat prowess matched that of those in the Refining God Realm. With his Demon Suppression Divine Power, he suppressed powerful demons and evil spirits.

It could be said that within the Three Prefectures, aside from the Old God, there were very few powerful opponents who could force him into such a difficult situation.

"Facing such a scene, not alarmed but rather delighted, ready to unleash the long-suppressed fighting spirit?"

The little white ape couldn’t help but grumble to himself, "Still says he’s never been fond of battle or bloodshed. He’s fooling ghosts..."

"This journey is more than just simple."

Lin Yan tapped its head and said, "My elder brother’s chains have been taken by Judge Fu Zhong, which will diminish his powers in the future."

"Duke Murky Spirit has been our predestined prey, the spirit of suppression chosen for my brother!"

"What’s more important is that the shackles and the key that can free the Saint Master are on those two Ghost Generals we just saw."

"Isn’t this why we left High Willow City, to accomplish these things?"

"The chains, the shackles, the key, Duke Murky Spirit, and the Book of Life and Death, everything is here, how could we not make this journey?"

"Judge Fu Zhong’s Qi Mechanism is ahead; He has come to stop me!"

Speaking, Lin Yan sheathed his sword, took up his longbow, aimed ahead, and continued, "Rapid Ghost, after I shoot this arrow, use the momentum of the arrow to cover you and go ahead to scout the depths of the Forbidden Land, to see how many fleshy Ghost Gods there really are!"

As his words concluded, the arrow was launched!

This arrow unleashed a surge of yin energy like a cold flood dragon, shooting straight along the passage into the deeper parts of the Forbidden Land.

With the intense sound of the arrow,

Lin Yan’s voice could be heard spreading in all directions.

"I am Wu Chang, here to witness the techniques of the Ghost Gods!"

"Boy, you’re courting death!" The voice of Judge Fu Zhong came from afar.

"To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening would be contentment!"

Lin Yan stowed the longbow and advanced with the sword in his right hand.

At the same time, in his left hand, he held the Divine Essence Treasure Bead passed on from Mr. Lu.

With this aid, he could defeat Judge Fu Zhong first!

——

Meanwhile, in front of the Yin Yang Bureau’s main hall.

A silence of many years was finally broken by the sound of footsteps.

The people following the East Mountain Prefecture Master here were now reduced to three.

Mr. Lu, Lv Tang, and an old Martial Artist from the East Mountain Prefecture, in the Refining Essence Realm.

"Using so many lives to pave the way, we have finally arrived here."

The expression of the East Mountain Prefecture Master was solemn. In his eyes, there was a joy that he could not hide.

By now, three tentacles had grown on his face.

But at this moment, he no longer bothered to remove them.

Because he was going to die.

To die for the Human Clan!

To not fail the East Mountain Prefecture!

This was the ambition of his lifetime!

"Wait!"

Mr. Lu reached out to stop him, his gaze slightly focused, and said, "At the gates of the Yin Yang Bureau’s main hall..."

The eyes of the East Mountain Prefecture Master sharpened as he used his mana to enhance his vision, looking ahead.

He saw in front of the Yin Yang Bureau a huge skeleton with both hands firmly locking the gate.

But its head was nowhere to be found!
