I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Hearing this, Lin Yan's expression turned extremely grave. He sensed the millions of Evil Qi within him, revealing a look of contemplation.

After a moment, he didn't rush to channel all the Evil Qi into his cultivation, but merely extended his hand to pat the Human Emperor's Bag, and a long spear flew out.

Flame Dragon Spear!

Since the fall of Shangguan Youqi, the Flame Dragon Spear had fallen into slumber.

The Dragon Soul within it had barred external perception.

Even Lin Yan, without the corresponding Secret Technique, could not awaken the Flame Dragon Spear.

But just now, the original divine might contained in this Divine Eye had actually startled the Dragon Soul of the Flame Dragon Spear... no, to be precise, had awakened it!

"So that's how it is..."

A Dragon Soul emerged on the Flame Dragon Spear, coiled around the spear, its eyes filled with complex emotions.

Lin Yan spoke normally, "Dragon Lord, you seem to know the ins and outs of this matter?"

"Just a speculation."

The Flame Dragon Spear paused, then said, "Not long after I awoke years ago, I heard about the First Human Emperor leading his subordinates to suppress an Old God... This god was called the Giant Eye Heavenly God!"

"A mortal suppressing a Heavenly God, even with followers, was unprecedented across aeons!"

"The incident was shocking, stirring the ten directions."

"Among all the Immortal Gods, there is none known as the 'Giant Eye Dharma Body' god, let alone one being a Heavenly God."

"In fact, this matter is questionable, at least in my view, it lacks conclusive evidence."

He said thus, sighing, "Turns out, what was suppressed was not a true Heavenly God, but a Heavenly Eye! However, during its full strength, this Heavenly Eye was indeed not inferior to a true Heavenly God!"

"An eye not inferior to a Heavenly God?"

Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "How strong must its true form be?"

The Flame Dragon Spear did not respond.

Lin Yan's heart sank slightly, and he understood immediately.

An unspeakable existence!

"No wonder the Heavenly Ancestor Realm went into seclusion, able to clear the strange energy originally present within the Canglong Sacred Land, relying on a Heavenly Eye to absorb all the strange Qi Mechanism, sealing it here."

The Flame Dragon Spear said, "This sealing technique is unprecedented, it must have been passed down by that Ancient Immortal..."

According to legend, the Ancient Dragon Ancestor fulfilled the old covenant, and with the help of an Ancient Immortal, derived a Grotto Heaven and went into seclusion ever since.

Lin Yan fell into contemplation.

The strange energy was ubiquitous across the world.

Even within the Holy Lands, it was not completely isolated from the strange energy.

The high-levels of various Holy Lands would still have individuals who fall out of control.

To derive a Grotto Heaven and fully go into seclusion, it is first necessary to clear the dojo within, leaving no strange Qi Mechanism behind.

But even the Immortal Gods are wary of the strange Qi Mechanism.

Even the Great Sun God Monarch, who can dispel the night and bring back the light, was once eroded by the Deceit Night, and thus the True Sun Monarch was born.

"To think that this Heavenly Eye can actually absorb the strange energy..."

The Flame Dragon Spear continued, "Look, over the years, this Heavenly Eye, on the surface, still holds limitless divine might... Evidencing that the strange Qi Mechanism within hasn't completely corroded it yet!"

Its dragon head turned slightly, looking towards Lin Yan, and said, "I never imagined that in this world, someone could suppress the strange energy! No wonder throughout the history of the Upper Heaven, you have been seen as the hope of the Human Clan..."

"No wonder Shangguan Youqi, with the qualification to compete for the world and become the Third Human Emperor, would sacrifice himself at Shangri Sacred Land, to obtain the top of Heavenly Gang Righteous Skill for you, helping you form the Creation Seed!"

"Since the First Human Emperor, the entire Upper Heaven had been waiting for you, so that's how it is..."

He paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "No wonder during the First Human Emperor period, among the many treasures with intelligence, only I was left in the Upper Heaven to follow Shangguan Youqi, after all, it was for you!"

Lin Yan's eyes were solemn, he did not reply, but within his heart, he felt an immense sense of awe for the First Human Emperor's handiwork laid out over tens of thousands of years.

In the next instant, a dragon roar arose.

The spear's glare arrived instantly!

"Master, be careful!"

Little White Ape exclaimed!

Boom!

Lin Yan's expression tightened slightly, the Vajra Body Divine Power shone even brighter!

He was about to deploy the Soldier True Word Divine Power to suppress the Flame Dragon Spear.

But in an instant, he hesitated.

Then, the spear pierced right between his brows!

The spear's glare was extraordinarily sharp, yet it did not penetrate his skull.

It merely left a fissure between his brows.

The spear's glare retracted instantly.

Lin Yan touched his brow.

There was a wound on his brow.

But no blood oozed out.

He looked at the Flame Dragon Spear in front of him and said, "I've walked from High Willow City, battled through countless fights, sustained many injuries, but never has anyone pierced my brow, almost claiming my life..."

This thrust bore no killing intent, no sharpness.

Mystical yet profound!

"Do you know the origins of the old man?" The Dragon Soul sighed, speaking aloud.

"I do not." Lin Yan shook his head.

"The old man's original form was the True Flame Dragon Monarch, in charge of a Fire Hell, cultivation reaching the True God's realm, bringing benefits to all directions, later bestowed a Heavenly Talisman, meant to ascend and rank among the Heavenly Gods!"

The Dragon Soul sighed, "Upon ascension, I saw a Divine Arrow shoot through the Great Sun God Monarch! As the Great Sun God Monarch fell, the world transformed, divine fire filled the sky. I was hit by one streak of divine fire, plummeting to the mortal world, my flesh burned to ashes..."

Little White Ape paused, saying, "That's quite a misfortune you had there."

The Dragon Soul continued, "Originally, not only was my flesh consumed, even my Primordial Spirit would have been obliterated! It was due to an Ancient Great God, who pitied my contributions for the four directions and my merit perfection yet faced unfounded calamity. Thus, with the 'Star Shifting' skill from the Heavenly Gang Righteous Skill, He took one strand of His hair from His forehead to replace my Primordial Spirit, enduring this tribulation for me!"

Said thus, the Dragon Soul continued, "Later, I was forged into this Flame Dragon Spear, becoming the treasured artifact of this Ancient God! And one of His powers was known as blessing..."

"Blessing?"

Little White Ape's eyes lit up.

Lin Yan couldn't help but touch his brow and said, "You grant me a strike, and that is your blessing?"

The Flame Dragon Spear said slowly, "Since I am now a Divine Spear, the way to bestow blessings is to pierce you with a strike!"

Lin Yan pondered, "Then what blessing are you granting to me?"

"I have used the Star Shifting skill from the Heavenly Gang Righteous Skill to leave a void between your brows that can accommodate the Heavenly Eye!"

The Flame Dragon Spear continued, "Knowing that this Heavenly Eye was the blessing from Upper Heaven for you, I understood why the First Human Emperor and Shangguan Youqi eventually left me at your side! Because you need this strike..."

"So the greatest opportunity left for me by the Heavenly Ancestor Realm is this Heavenly Eye that has been purged of its strange Qi Mechanism?"

Lin Yan looked towards the now dim and dull giant eye and said, "Next, I need to transfer this Heavenly Eye into my brow, becoming the third eye?"

"Indeed!"

The Flame Dragon Spear said, "This eye happened to be sealed here! You happened to be able to suppress its strange Qi Mechanism! You happened to possess the Vajra Body! Moreover, you are not a Human Martial Saint, not yet a Leakless True Body!"

"What fits even more is that at this moment, the old man is beside you, possessing the power of 'blessing', with the means of Star Shifting..."

He sighed, saying, "With so many coincidences, it simply can't be a coincidence! If that's not the original intent of the First Human Emperor, who would believe it?"

Pausing, he looked at Lin Yan and continued, "If it were ten thousand years ago, I wouldn't help you, but all these years, affected by the Upper Heaven's incense, inevitably, I was deeply influenced..."

Little White Ape murmured, "All these years of incense, seems it wasn't free after all, unknowingly getting roped in."

The Flame Dragon Spear sighed, "The First Human Emperor, though he only lived to a thousand years, was so cunning, even an existence from ancient times may not match him!"

His voice fell, saying, "This Heavenly Eye can discern illusions, illuminate the void, observe all directions, its might supreme, surpassing the Old Gods of this era. Do you accept it?"
