I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

But in the next moment, his heart suddenly sank.

He only saw a flower bud appear in front of him as he fled.

The flower bud was illusory, blooming open, already forming a phantom lotus.

In the blink of an eye, atop the phantom lotus, stood a person.

Golden Patterned Black Robe, holding a long blade.

Face of cold resolve, expression icy cold.

"..."

You Heavenly Venerate's heart sank slightly.

If it were in the past, one more Creation God wouldn't pressure him.

But after tonight, he knows well the Saint Master's capability.

If it were a one-on-one fight to the death, the Saint Master wouldn't be his match.

Yet, just now, the Saint Master alone, under siege, was unharmed, but instead repeatedly killed his allies.

The Saint Master's fighting skills are simply incomparable to a typical youthful junior.

The Saint Master's skills, be it movement technique, saber technique, combat technique, utilization of the Inner Realm Divine Domain, or various fight techniques experience... any one of these could make a Human Martial Saint spend a lifetime studying!

This young junior, barely in his twenties, has cultivated so many of the world's top mysterious arts and has refined each magic method to extreme proficiency.

Normally, a Human Martial Saint wouldn't come into contact with so many top-tier techniques!

As the Heavenly Gate Master, he was qualified to acquire them.

But even he, nearly two hundred years old, had only mastered three kinds!

Among them, only one is the Old God's Technique!

The other two types were stolen from the Holy Alliance by celestial beings throughout generations, claimed to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Old God's Technique!

"In my youth, I was also praised as a prodigy of the Human Clan."

You Heavenly Venerate sighed, "Over the years, I've seen many so-called prodigies of the Human Clan, and eliminated many who were said to be unparalleled geniuses... whether it is me or those so-called Human Clan prodigies, in front of the Saint Master, we are like fireflies, unable to compete with the bright moon!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "You truly don't seem like a human! More like a deity!"

The Chief Supreme Elder's face changed slightly, giving Lin Yan a glance.

The Saint Master is merely in his early twenties.

Is there truly such an existence in the Human Clan throughout history?

To create new techniques, renowned worldwide, with mana profoundly mysterious, a majestic presence, able to calmly face and counter enemy forces beneath many Saint Realms of the Upper Three Heavens!

Having mastered various magic methods, all his skills are top of the world, each perfected to completion!

How could this be humanly possible?

"The Saint Master has upheld the backbone of the Human Clan, pioneering new methods for all generations, contributing countless merits to our Human Clan!"

The Heavenly Saint's single eye burned with intense heat, "If even the Saint Master is not of the Human Clan, who else in today's world can be called human? If even someone like the Saint Master, who fights wholeheartedly for the Human Clan, is not of the Human Clan... then what hope is there for our Human Clan?"

The Chief Supreme Elder's doubts disappeared as he looked at You Heavenly Venerate, saying, "Great Venerable, where are you?"

"..."

You Heavenly Venerate remained silent.

"How many remnants of the Heavenly Gate still hide within my Human Clan across various industries today?"

The Chief Supreme Elder's face turned cold, continuing to ask, "In Heavenly Destiny City and various Holy Lands, how many people have joined the Heavenly Gate?"

You Heavenly Venerate remained silent.

Lin Yan held his Divine Blade and stepped forward, saying, "Answer me one question, and I'll spare your life."

Only then did You Heavenly Venerate slowly raise his head to look at Lin Yan, but still said nothing, his eyes showing hesitation.

"In the current Supreme Pavilion, are there still celestials?"

Lin Yan spoke coldly, asking this.

"..."

You Heavenly Venerate's eyes suddenly held a touch of mockery, "Do you mean those from my Heavenly Gate? Or... those who consider themselves beyond the Human Clan, looking down on all beings, possessing the demeanor of celestials, but have not entered my Heavenly Gate?"

"If it's the former, at least as far as I know, there are no longer celestials in the Supreme Pavilion."

"If it's the latter, who in the Supreme Pavilion is not a celestial?"

He looked at Lin Yan coldly, "Including you, the Saint Master, seeing yourself so highly, possessing great skills, daring to act within Deceit Night without the usual Human Clan's fear of it!"

Lin Yan remained expressionless, not responding.

"Saint Master, you are admired by all, everyone thinks you are crucial among the Human Clan!"

You Heavenly Venerate laughed heartily, "The world believes you are the most important person among the Human Clan, and fears your demise in all planning!"

"Tonight, the Holy Alliance has set ambushes everywhere, but even if they achieved huge victories, once you, the Saint Master, die, it will all be failure."

"Thus, the Chief Supreme Elder and this Heavenly Saint both came to rescue you."

"Could an ordinary member of the Human Clan have the privilege to attract both of them?"

"Such as you, are you not already above common members of the Human Clan, like a celestial?"

"Saint Master..."

You Heavenly Venerate sighed, "In truth, we are the same kind!"

Lin Yan shook his head slightly, "Different, born as humans, you see the Human Clan as ants, killing wantonly! While I have always remembered, I am human!"

The Heavenly Saint laughed heartily, "Indeed! In the past, the Human Emperor ruled above all beings, who dared say he was not of the Human Clan? The Human Emperor was the leader of the Human Clan, he could fight for the Human Clan, could die for the Human Clan!"

"Generations of celestials only desired to control the Human Clan's power, treating all beings as commodities, trading with the world's evils, and various Old Gods, to gain personal strength! This is the fundamental difference!"

"To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to continue the teachings of the sages, to bring peace for all generations... with such grand aspirations, who throughout history is more pure than the Saint Master?"

"Even if the two generations of Human Emperors were alive, upon seeing the Saint Master, they would surely revere him as the Emperor's Master!"

This is how the Heavenly Saint spoke.

The Chief Supreme Elder's gaze slightly condensed, muttering softly, "Emperor's Master?"

With an unusual expression, he glanced at Lin Yan, then looked at You Heavenly Venerate, "Are you really unwilling to cooperate? Stubborn, on a path to death!"

"Celestials, born of selfish hearts, have no sense of racial kinship."

Lin Yan suddenly said, "What you call celestial kinship, in your eyes, is merely an alliance, one that can be betrayed at any moment! You aren't unwilling to speak, you're unable to speak..."

You Heavenly Venerate's expression stalled, hesitating to speak.

But in the next moment, a blaze of fire suddenly erupted on his body.

Flames illuminated the surroundings.

He opened his mouth, issuing a silent scream.

Seeing this, Lin Yan abruptly slashed forward with his blade.

Before the flames could completely devour You Heavenly Venerate, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword burst forth with the Nine Palace Demon Extermination Seal, severing both his flesh and Primordial Spirit completely!

Evil Qi received!

This made Lin Yan involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

This You Heavenly Venerate, having broken through the Upper Three Heavens with substantial depth, his Evil Qi massive, reaching more than ninety-eight thousand.

This spoils in hand, nearly lost!

"..."

The Chief Supreme Elder had a peculiar expression, musing, "You Heavenly Venerate was in a situation of certain death, this extra slash expending mana unnecessarily, what was the Saint Master's intention behind it?"

The Heavenly Saint stepped forward, "A mysterious entity, killing him with curses from afar! What kind of technique is this?"

The Chief Supreme Elder said, "To instantly kill a Human Martial Saint of the Upper Three Heavens, this hidden Great Venerable must be more troublesome than any previous Heavenly Gate Master!"

Lin Yan furrowed his brows slightly, a scene of Heavenly Gate City suddenly flashing in his mind.

"No! It's the Heavenly Gate!"

"These so-called celestials, many have passed through this legendary Gate of Tao."

"They are most likely implanted with methods by the Gate of Tao!"

"Shangguan Youqi at the time slashed the Heavenly Gate Master, but the other's Primordial Spirit escaped into the incomplete Gate of Tao, disappearing without a trace."

"Could it be this Heavenly Gate Master who has not completely died?"

Lin Yan thought so, but swept over and said nothing.

He merely slowly closed his eyes, sensing the gains from this time.

Since leaving Heavenly Destiny City, along the way, he had killed many evils, including the white-robed old man wielding the Great Kindness Divine Artifact.

Plus this time, all the evils within a thousand miles radius.

The Evil Qi from You Heavenly Venerate, Earth Dragon, Wind Saint, Deputy Commander Zhou Xi, and the City Captain of the Flame Spirit Prefecture.

Total Evil Qi, nearly four hundred thousand.

But because of You Heavenly Venerate's Divine Eye, piercing through his Inner Realm Divine Domain.

Though incense could supplement it, it would take a long time.

So Lin Yan at the time used Evil Qi, immediately making repairs.

After a great battle, the remaining Evil Qi totaled over three hundred sixty thousand.
