I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 458 - 302: The New God Who Opened the Forbidden Land!

Chapter 458: Chapter 302: The New God Who Opened the Forbidden Land!

East Mountain Prefecture Master, his body bone white, Flames ablaze.

In the blink of an eye, his flesh and blood had completely burnt away, leaving only his skeleton.

All his mana burned like divine fire.

At present, his Divine Soul had dissipated entirely, becoming the source of power for the grand formation.

The formation was like ivy, firmly trapping the Forbidden Land. Over sixty years ago, it had been severed and was on the verge of withering, hence the instability.

Today, the East Mountain Prefecture Master nourished the formation with his own divine fire, causing it to restart.

This formation could roughly last for another sixty years.

"..."

The crowd stood before the entrance of the Yin Yang Bureau’s main hall, bowing deeply towards the front.

After a long while, the atmosphere grew heavy.

Lin Yan looked at the severed tongue in his hand, his expression complex.

"This too is an Old God’s Magical Object, the legend speaks of an ancient time before, when a heavenly lantern was shattered. The Flames fell to the mortal plane, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, extinguishing after three years."

The voice of Duke Murky Spirit came, saying, "Although the divine fire has perished, the fire seed has survived, forming its own Pure Land!"

Mr. Lu took over the conversation, saying, "Over eight hundred years ago, a Qi Refinement Realm practitioner near loss of control, entered the Pure Land, committed a taboo, and was burnt by the divine flame. Fortuitously, this turned into a blessing in disguise, his soul condensed, and he attained his Primordial Spirit!"

"Later on, this object passed among the Human Clan, until six hundred years ago when it fell into the East Mountain Prefecture, and from then on, it was passed down generation to generation by the people of East Mountain Prefecture."

"Cleansed by the divine fire, if one does not die, there exists a hope to ascend to the level of Primordial Spirit!"

"For six hundred years, within East Mountain Prefecture, without regard to bloodline or kinship, only the talented and virtuous are chosen to inherit this Flame."

"As of today, the successive inheritances within East Mountain Prefecture are known as the passing of the torch!"

Mr. Lu stated, "The former Saint Master established this divine flame, naming it ’Passing Torch’."

Fu Zhong fell silent for a moment before speaking, "The Prefecture Master said to let you arrange, which means it can be given to you to use, to help you cultivate your Primordial Spirit... Regarding this matter, I will report to the Holy Land to avoid any misunderstanding by the East Mountain Prefecture leadership."

Lin Yan did not respond, but secured the severed tongue and immediately looked towards his elder brother Lin Lei.

More precisely, he looked towards Duke Murky Spirit with Lin Lei.

"What are you looking at? I admit defeat, and that’s that!" said Duke Murky Spirit helplessly.

"You are transformed from Lord Qingling’s remnant soul and malicious thoughts, not entirely trustworthy."

Mr. Lu said this, then turned to Lin Yan, adding, "Originally, the Right Shackled General should have been suppressed by Lin Lei to serve as a commander... But Lin Lei’s cultivation is too weak, after subduing Duke Murky Spirit, he had no strength left to suppress the other one!"

Duke Murky Spirit let out a cold laugh but did not respond.

Lin Yan could tell that if one day Lin Lei appeared weak, he would surely face backlash.

Even as a Soul-binding Envoy, with the help of Netherworld Treasure.

But plainly speaking, it also fell under the category of exorcism.

Throughout history, whenever the owner of an exorcism method becomes weak, they must face the backlash.

If it were an ordinary Yin Soul, relying on the Netherworld Treasure, even in Lin Lei’s later years, there wouldn’t typically be any more mishaps.

But the one present was duke murky spirit in his previous life, and now possessed Uncle Xianyou’s divine position.

Although he missed by twenty breaths to fully refine the divine position, the authority of the divine position still remained with Duke Murky Spirit.

Even at his worst, he counted as a demigod.

"From this day on, offer Him three sticks of incense daily, beseeching Him to accumulate good deeds!"

Mr. Lu slowly articulated, "When your Blessed Land is restored, and a divine palace is erected, with Little God Venerate as the main focus, place Duke Murky Spirit’s divine effigy at one side as the Guardian God, receiving incense day and night."

"With the Demon Suppression, Worshiping Evil Method, and Soul Detention Decree all in place!"

"The longer the time, the greater the effect within a year and a half at the most, Duke Murky Spirit will no longer entertain thoughts of backlash."

Following Mr. Lu’s voice,

Lv Tang whispered, "Discussing these cunning schemes openly, isn’t it a bit indelicate?"

Then they heard Duke Murky Spirit’s cold laugh, "This, damn it, is what we call an overt plot!"

Mr. Lu slightly stroked his beard, chuckling, "You’ve been beaten so badly by Lin Yan, more damaged than before, in urgent need of incense nourishment, I am helping you..."

Then, he looked at Lin Yan, adding, "This beating, just right."

Lin Yan naturally understood what he meant.

If Duke Murky Spirit had been too strong, even with Netherworld Treasures, Lin Lei wouldn’t be able to suppress him.

Right now, Duke Murky Spirit was damaged just enough.

If Duke Murky Spirit had been a little more intact, with his formidable capabilities and hidden Secret Techniques, it would have been very difficult for Lin Lei to suppress him.

If Duke Murky Spirit had been further damaged, he could only maintain immortality, unable to use various tactics, and there was even the possibility of needing long-term hibernation, unable to assist Lin Lei.

"If it weren’t that I missed those twenty breaths, fully refining Uncle Xianyou’s divine position, I could have cast Taiyin Divine Light, and you would not stand a chance!"

Duke Murky Spirit snorted, then added, "Even if you won by chance, a mere Soul-binding Envoy wouldn’t be able to handle me."

Lin Lei involuntarily looked at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu pondered for a moment, then said, "Nowadays, the various powers of the world, the various designations, most are excavated from ancient remains, simply adapted and modernized to fit the present day."

"If we compare the divine positions of the Netherworld to the official positions of the Observatory,"

"Then your position as Soul-binding Envoy would be roughly equivalent to the Inspection Envoy of Qifeng Prefecture."

"Meanwhile, Uncle Xianyou’s divine position would be akin to the Commander of High Willow City."

"Thus, His divine position is much higher than yours."

With this said, Mr. Lu addressed Lin Lei, "You as the Soul-binding Envoy can suppress Duke Murky Spirit, but you can’t suppress Uncle Xianyou! Fortunately, there was a twenty breaths difference, Duke Murky Spirit is just Duke Murky Spirit, and has not become Uncle Xianyou..."

"That’s uncertain,"

Duke Murky Spirit sneered, "Of those who leave this Forbidden Land, every single one of them has offended Marquis Lingyou, especially you, Lin Yan!"

After a pause, Duke Murky Spirit continued, "He will be even three parts stronger than Lord Qingling in his prime!"

"He left the Three Prefecture territory and has seized a great opportunity. Once he fully assimilates it, I’m afraid his abilities may be on par with the Old Gods!"

"He has had this opportunity for a hundred years; it won’t be long before he completes the assimilation and returns to the Three Prefecture territory!"

"To fully subdue this old man, we’ll see if you can survive long enough!"

Upon hearing what Duke Murky Spirit said, the atmosphere became somber.

Everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.

Even Mr. Lu’s face stiffened for a moment.

It wasn’t until a short while later that Mr. Lu spoke, "If I’m not mistaken, this Marquis Lingyou is not inheriting the position of an Ancient Old God, but is a New God who has opened up a Forbidden Land?"

"Exactly!"

Duke Murky Spirit confirmed with a reply.

And Mr. Lu’s expression grew even more solemn.

Lin Yan remained silent for a moment, his left hand resting on the hilt of his blade as he calmly said, "Then let us wait for this New God to return and accept his challenge!"

He knew that Marquis Lingyou was strong.

At least for now, he was far from being his match.

But Marquis Lingyou has been refining the treasure for a hundred years without returning.

In the future, not to mention a hundred years, just give him, Lin Yan, another ten years, or even just three to five years.

He believed that when facing Marquis Lingyou, he might not be without a chance of victory!

——

Outside of the Forbidden Land, the sun was high in the sky.

Lin Yan and the others rested on the spot, welcomed by East Mountain Prefecture.

At this moment, Lin Yan was seen with his eyes closed.

Transformation (100/100)

Evil Qi: 36127

"Over thirty-six thousand Evil Qi, unimaginable in the past, but now it doesn’t seem that much."

This was what Lin Yan thought. Since he entered the Forbidden Land, he had been slaying Ghost Gods and Great Evil Spirits, amassing over a hundred thousand Evil Qi in total.

However, during intense battles, there was no time to spare. Every slash and every arrow he shot was an all-out effort, expending all the True Qi in his body.

Immediately replenishing himself with Evil Qi afterwards, each time consuming several thousand.

But precisely because of this, his True Qi seemed endless and his techniques inexhaustible, never showing signs of weakness. This made the fearsome evils of the Extremely Yin Land dread him, daring not to engage him lightly.

Thus, he delved deeper, seized the Book of Life and Death, and returned at ease.

Had it not been for Marquis Lingyou suddenly awakening, his return journey would have been even smoother.

"After returning this time and completing the new technique, I will be able to focus on cultivation." Mr. Lu came to his side and said, "With your talent, perhaps by the day Marquis Lingyou returns, you will be able to fight with him!"

"Actually, it’s no big deal." The Little White Ape popped its head out and said cheerfully, "They have great regard for the master. When the entrance to the Extremely Yin Land was sealed, Marquis Lingyou even reminded you, afraid that the master would be cut in two..."

"Naive!" Lin Yan said indifferently, "I was holding the Book of Life and Death at the time. If I were cut in two, the upper half of my body would fall outside, and the Book of Life and Death would also end up outside! From the beginning, Marquis Lingyou was not cherishing talent, but wanted to retrieve the Book of Life and Death!"

"Earlier you said, this Book of Life and Death records the lifespans of all Ghost Gods, Great Demons, Evil Spirits, and even the strong warriors of the Human Clan from the Extremely Yin Land..." Lv Tang couldn’t help but lean forward and ask, "How regretful to destroy it, why not take it with you? Perhaps it could command Ghost Gods and drive hordes of demons!"

"Marquis Lingyou relied on the Book of Life and Death to seal the exit to the outer scene of Extremely Yin." The voice of Duke Murky Spirit came, saying, "If he hadn’t destroyed the Book of Life and Death, he wouldn’t have been able to leave at all."

"There’s another thing." Lin Yan said, "On the surface, he granted me the title of Uncle Xianyou, intending to recruit me, and after I refused, he was willing to pardon my offense! In fact, he was stalling..."

"Stalling?" Mr. Lu frowned slightly.

"On the Book of Life and Death, my name became increasingly bold and clear." Lin Yan explained, "It must be that by me holding the Book of Life and Death, it was silently absorbing my Qi Mechanism, perfecting this ’name’... By then, my lifespan would truly be under Marquis Lingyou’s control!"

"So, he was continuously forcing you to put down the Book of Life and Death, sparing your life; actually..." The Little White Ape suddenly understood and said, "He made you think that the Book of Life and Death was your bargaining chip with Marquis Lingyou, and also your hope to live and leave the Forbidden Land, thus you couldn’t easily let go of it."

"Clever indeed."

Duke Murky Spirit chuckled and added, "The Book of Life and Death is very important, do you know why Marquis Lingyou didn’t take it away?"

Before anyone could respond, he said hauntingly, "This Book of Life and Death wasn’t created by Marquis Lingyou; it’s a Netherworld Treasure from the Netherworld!"

"The Judge back then thought he controlled the Book of Life and Death, but over time, his Divine Soul became permanently bound within it, unable to leave, essentially becoming the sentience of the Magic Artifact."

"If you had kept holding the Book of Life and Death, then your soul would also become part of the book, just like the Judge!"

"And Marquis Lingyou, from beginning to end, was the true master of the Book of Life and Death."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan was unsurprised.

And at that moment, Fu Zhong approached, speaking softly, "We’ve received news from the Holy Land; the Landscaping Technique has been completed and duplicated, dispatched by the Chief Disciple of Li Shen Sect with a hundred trusted aides, en route to Qifeng Prefecture City, arriving in three days!"
