I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch, a Heavenly God from the Ancient Era, maintains the laws of that era, and annihilates the guilty gods and immortals that cause chaos..."

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch said, "Nine out of ten, he has awakened from the reincarnation of ages by borrowing the body of a human clan... Just like those masters of the Holy Land, influenced by the consciousness of the Immortal God Arena over time, eventually viewing themselves as reincarnations of Immortal Gods, willingly becoming vessels for their rebirth... However, this Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch is most likely a complete reincarnation!"

Speaking of this, the Heavenly Gate Patriarch responded, "Leave him be, at least he doesn't harbor intentions of destroying the human clan, and even took the initiative to let us go... I suspect, the Heavenly Talisman that flew over later, is most likely the handiwork of this Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch, his gift to the human clan!"

Earlier, the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch intervened and seized the shattered Gate of Tao.

In the following Sea Domain, three Divine Spirits emerged.

Since the Ancient Era, Divine Spirits have avoided the world to escape the influence of Deceit Night.

But after the appearance of the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch, the three Divine Spirits, disregarding the erosion of Deceit Night, took action of their own accord.

Even those strong enough to break the Ultimate Heaven dared not meddle in the battle between the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch and the three Old Gods.

Thus the Heavenly Gate Patriarch and the Master of Holy Alliance each retreated.

Yet midway, a Heavenly Talisman unexpectedly descended from the sky.

And this Heavenly Talisman turned into a Death Sentence.

Within the Sea Domain, endless demons and evil spirits all attacked.

Among them, there were beings of the Saint Realm, even ancient evil spirits slumbering in the ages sensed the Qi Mechanism of the Heavenly Talisman, willingly broke their seals and came to seize it.

"You had already lost an arm when fighting for the Gate of Tao under an Ancient Divine Array."

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch said, "After breaking the Ultimate Heaven, your lifeforce continues to leak, and with the ongoing battle, it will leak even faster... Especially after you're gravely wounded, if it continues to leak, you'll die in this vast sea."

The Alliance Hierarch took a deep breath, looked at the endless demons surrounding him from all directions, and said, "The ancient evil spirit behind it doesn't plan to face me head-on, intends to exhaust me to death!"

"I can exhaust all Qi Mechanism of this corpse to lay a layer of protective divine light for you."

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch said, "Unless it's a Heavenly Demon with Ancestor Blood Sanctum Ascension, or a Sanctum Ascended Evil Spirit, otherwise it cannot be breached!"

"I can burn the corpse using the previous incense offering, for about five hours!"

"Within five hours, even the Evil Demon King cannot break the protective divine light, unable to exhaust your mana!"

"Five hours, enough for you to return to the Holy Alliance's eastern coast line."

"But there are those among the ancient evil spirits behind who are not mere fools, although affected by Deceit Night, there are those more cunning and mad... They will likely personally enter the fray, to seize the Heavenly Talisman!"

Before the Heavenly Gate Patriarch's voice fell, divine fire already ignited on the corpse.

The corpse as firewood!

Incense as flames!

A lifetime of cultivation derivatives into divine light, enveloping the Master of Holy Alliance's body.

"Heavenly Gate and my Holy Alliance, eternally opposed, you are the patriarch of Heavenly Gate, I am the leader of Holy Alliance."

The Alliance Hierarch sighed, "I never imagined that one day Heavenly Gate and Holy Alliance would join forces! And you, a fellow dead for thousands of years, would burn the last trace for me..."

"I founded the Heavenly Gate, not to destroy the human clan, but because I felt there was no hope for the human clan."

The Heavenly Gate Patriarch stood amid divine fire, saying, "Back then in the 'Heavenly Person Lineage,' there were also predecessors who mentioned the human clan's inevitable extinction in the future! To ensure the longevity of the clan, only by uniting the strongest group of humans into a firm fist, can they survive, does hope for survival exist!"

His expression complex, sighed and continued, "Those years, I thought I was the correct one, Heavenly Gate was the only path for the human clan, only a few could become Celestial, and be worthy of survival!"

"Holy Alliance's philosophy is to protect all lives, let everyone survive as much as possible, through a large population, give rise to many talents, thereby ensuring in the future era, strong human clan leaders emerge!"

"Over thousands of years, it's evident the path of Heavenly Gate has failed."

"Perhaps Holy Alliance's philosophy will eventually fail in the future era! But at least now, it seems fundamentally correct!"

"At least, under your philosophy of sheltering the mortal world, in the minutiae, emerged a Master of All Generations, creating a safe new technique, opening a new chapter for the human clan!"

His figure disappeared amidst the divine fire, leaving only one sentence: "I chose the wrong path earlier in life, today let it be made up for! Alliance Hierarch, take the Heavenly Talisman back..."

——

Eastern coastal defense line.

The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department Main Hall suddenly shivered, muttering, "He actually came back alive... Three thousand miles!"

In the next moment, the Supreme Commander raised his hand and shouted, "Full military alert, activate the Great Array!"

"..."

The Great General in charge of East Sea coastal defense, wielding a long-handled saber, hurried over, showing an unusual expression.

"The Alliance Hierarch has returned!"

The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department Main Hall said, "He carries an opportunity exchanged with his life!"

The Great General's expression changed dramatically.

For the Alliance Hierarch to exchange life for!

More significant than the current life of the Master of the Holy Alliance!

What kind of opportunity could this be?

"Full military assault!"

The Great General raised his saber forward, shouted, "Fenghuo Formation, burn the sky and boil the sea!"

This military formation, sourced from the Ancient Era.

Rumored to originate from the dojo of the Ancient Fire God!

Within that dojo, there were once a hundred thousand Golden Armor warriors, refined into Daoist Soldiers, using this Great Array, guarding the dojo's location.

Once this array is activated, it has the momentum to burn the sky and boil the sea.

In some ancient legends, west of the Holy Alliance, endless wilderness, was originally a vast sea.

It was covered by this array, causing the sea to evaporate, the source cut off, turning into endless wilderness.

"My East Sea coastal line, a million elite, jointly set up the array..."

The Great General said in a deep voice, "Throughout generations, predecessors refined Magic Artifacts, as hidden stakes, driven into the seabed! Every so often, either repaired, or replaced, never ceased..."

Along the coastal line, a hundred miles forward, everywhere have hidden stakes, interconnected, forming the foundation of the array.

These treasures are also crucial to condensating the array!

And every time the array is utilized, it must extract Qi-Blood from these soldiers, exhausting the foundation, impacting martial arts advancement, even affecting life span!

Therefore, unless necessary, the eastern coastal line guards, facing massive invasions from sea demons, mostly choose strategic withdrawal, rarely activating the array!

The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department Main Hall nodded slightly.

He naturally knew of the existence of these seabed Magic Artifacts.

The reason for ordering the coastal guards not to retreat is to enable timely array activation and timely interception when the moment comes!

"You come to preside over the array, remember to provide timely response!"

The Supreme Commander said, "I will set out first to intercept the enemies pursuing the Alliance Hierarch!"

His voice hadn't fallen, yet he already headed in the direction where the Alliance Hierarch returned.

"..."

The Great General focused his gaze, raised his head again, only to see the commander already disappearing beyond the southeastern horizon... viewline inducing!

What manner of individual is the Alliance Hierarch?

The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department Main Hall was defeated by him in those years!

Now, the Alliance Hierarch is being pursued, and he must intercept the pursuing enemies!

Also instructed his men to provide timely response to the Alliance Hierarch!

Meaning, this commander never considered the possibility of returning alive!

——

"Three thousand miles!"

The Master of the Holy Alliance's face was deathly pale, opened his mouth, spitting out blood.

The protective divine light that the Heavenly Gate Patriarch burnt into had already extinguished long ago, outside of ten thousand miles.

This seven thousand miles, was his path of slaying through.

At this moment, he was utterly exhausted.

Moreover, the continuous operation of the array, heavily drawing external Qi Mechanism, near death, he felt his emotions fluctuate, no longer under control!
