I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

In the Human Emperor Hall, it seemed as though the world had transformed.

Mists rose inexplicably, shrouding all directions.

Every wisp of mist was like a sharp blade.

Blades were everywhere!

In an instant, Lin Yan employed the Vajra Body, standing firm in the hall.

Meanwhile, Little White Ape swiftly threw out the Taiji Yin Yang Bottle, enveloping himself in Yin Yang Qi.

"The intentions of the Upper Heaven are mysterious!!!"

Little White Ape cried out, "Master, we trusted too easily, and now we'll die here!"

Lin Yan appeared calm, recalling the earlier mural.

The mural was clearer than those before.

In the Human Emperor Hall.

A figure was beheaded.

Beside it, a small ape with wings was cut in half.

Above in the hall, another figure clad in ancient Upper Heaven attire appeared.

"What do you think the earlier mural depicted?"

Lin Yan glanced around and asked thusly.

Little White Ape sighed, "Isn't it obvious? We were tricked and died here, only to be replaced by a member of the Upper Heaven's Human Clan..."

"So around here, there should be the Four Symbols Spiritual Array to seize Great Luck?"

Lin Yan spoke calmly, "Kill us, create an Upper Heaven prodigy to replace the Saint Master!"

"Perhaps from the start, the prodigy the Upper Heaven awaited was not you, Master."

Little White Ape shouted angrily, "Now it seems we are just 'materials'! What Shangguan Youqi, what Heavenly Saint, what current Alliance Hierarch, all to deceive us into a death trap of the Upper Heaven…"

"Such a vicious scheme, having the Upper Heaven feign goodwill, even sacrificing Shangguan Youqi, just to deceive us and gain trust!"

"Had I not studied the art of strategy, I would have died without understanding!"

Sighing, it said, "But dying aware isn't preferable either, it's better not to die at all..."

Then suddenly, this Little White Ape bawled, regretting the past, saying, "Had I known, I wouldn't have wasted time, but delved deeper into the art of strategy, discerned the plot earlier, and avoided death!"

"If life could start anew, I would train diligently, study with wisdom, and enlighten my spirit."

"Despite my cosmic talent, surpassing tiers, and nearing Ancestor Blood Sanctum Ascension, I am to be buried here."

"Eighteen concubine quarters, not one occupied, it feels like dying with regrets…"

"Just hope the Heavenly Ancestor Realm has some conscience, doesn't obliterate the True Spirit, and lets us visit the Netherworld to see mother, fulfilling a wish…"

It cried loudly, then paused, tearfully looking up, and said, "Master, at the brink of death, unrewarded ambitions, aren't you going to cry?"

"You cry first."

Lin Yan held the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, brows furrowed.

Little White Ape couldn't help but advise, "Soon we'll be dead, you won't be able to cry then, better to leave no regrets... I haven't seen you cry before, maybe try now?"

Lin Yan gazed intently, then suddenly smirked coldly.

Seeing this, Little White Ape ceased persuading, thinking its master still maintained composure, but at least had a cold sneer, somewhat venting emotion, preventing death with unresolved feelings.

"I see now..."

Lin Yan suddenly stepped forward, his blade attacking.

This strike targeted the mist's corner.

Amidst the boundless mist, there was no stir, no direction.

Yet this strike was aimed precisely here!

The atmosphere quieted down.

After a while, an elder's voice remarked, "How did you perceive it?"

"One watching me, how could I not notice?"

Lin Yan replied indifferently, "The first mural, at the very top, seemed to symbolize the Ancient Immortal's Eye breaking the void!"

He retrieved his sword, as the mist began to fade.

Little White Ape showed a look of surprise.

And Lin Yan continued, "That wasn't the Ancient Immortal's Eye, nor the scene engraved on the mural! It was truly the mural that had broken..."

The mural had broken!

An eye was behind the mural, peeking through the breach into the Human Emperor Hall!

"..."

Little White Ape was stunned; with its wit, it never expected such an absurd conclusion!

The mist gradually faded.

The mural bulged outward.

As if something inside was swelling, breaking through the wall, distorting the mural, creating numerous cracks.

From the cracks burst forth a dazzling light, impossible to look at directly.

Martial Artists below the Refining God Realm, if they glance, their eyes risk being scorched and destroyed.

With a roar!

The mural shattered, fragments of stone spewed everywhere.

Divine power rolled, unmatched and mighty!

Dazzling light covered the entire Human Emperor Hall.

It was an eye!

An eye a hundred meters wide!

Even Lin Yan's thirty-six meters Golden Body appeared rather feeble before the eye.

To an ordinary person, before that eye, it was like a grain of sand.

——

Outside the Human Emperor Hall, the Upper Heaven's high echelon had gathered.

The six Heavenly Saints, just awakened, and people like Yuwen Qi, the Great Elder.

Everyone's eyes showed grave expressions.

They didn't know why His Highness left this test for the Saint Master.

Because His Highness perished in Shangri Sacred Land, proving that today's Saint Master is the one foretold in the mural to pacify Shangri Sacred Land with His Highness!

Endowed with Great Luck!

With grand aspirations in heart!

Creator of a New Technique for all ages!

The skill to suppress Evil!

All this proved that the Saint Master is the one the Upper Heaven awaited!
