I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"So, we've fought our way through this path, isn't it a bit too ostentatious? Just killing without cleaning up afterwards might provoke widespread anger!"

Shangguan Shang pondered, "Or, I could return to the Dragon Head Tribe, declare war on all directions, claim the surrounding territories, and seize their Human Clan... This might actually align with the 'survival of the fittest' philosophy those northern Gods and Demons have!"

"What if I say..."

Lin Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I'm actually trying to attract those powerful northern Gods and Demons?"

Shangguan Shang was momentarily stunned, his eyes slightly focused, "Do you have the assurance to challenge the various alien races?"

"I am confident in annihilating any invading enemy."

Lin Yan spoke seriously, "I know you have recruited a group of trustworthy Human Clan elites outside to serve as the backbone, vigorously developing and expanding your influence! As for external enemies, I will deal with them myself..."

Shangguan Shang hesitated, "How can the master's strength alone resist enemies from all directions?"

"There are Divine Spirits in the world who avoided the great catastrophe of that era, hidden in the world, once received the Ancient Immortal's Injunction, and signed a contract; once appearing in the world, they have the responsibility to protect the Human Clan!"

Lin Yan looked up for a moment, then said, "In the current era, the Old God has yet to appear, but the time is soon!"

He had perused records from the Upper Heaven and consulted Li Chengdao.

Even though the era was ancient, the details remain insufficient.

However, it can still be deduced that during the reign of the Human Emperor, the power of various Old Gods was harnessed to establish a Human Clan city.

And according to the deduction, Old Gods have successively appeared across places, likely before the First Human Emperor broke through the Extreme Heaven.

With Shangguan Shang's skills, once he ascends to become a Human Martial Saint, he will inevitably be able to break through the Sixth Heaven.

The distance to the Upper Three Heavens is not too far away.

With Shangguan Shang's talent, breaking the Ultimate Heaven should not be too far off.

Careful calculation shows that this should happen in recent years.

"Relying on myself, even with great ability, I can only protect one side."

Lin Yan said, "The power of the Old Gods can only maintain the stability of one city, but there won't be few Old Gods emerging thereafter!"

He looked at Shangguan Shang and said, "Before the Old Gods appear, I will surely guard within your range, solid as a rock, providing you time for growth, achieving great undertakings, restoring prosperity to the mortal world!"

Shangguan Shang's expression was solemn as he bowed and said, "The master's righteousness, Shang remembers firmly in his heart!"

"Everything for the continuation of the race!"

Lin Yan's expression was serious, his heart indeed heavy.

He knows that in this era, perhaps some Ancient Divine Spirits who avoided the great catastrophe back then and were not bound by the Ancient Immortal's Injunction might attack.

Therefore, he let Shangguan Shang fully expand his influence, attracting various alien races to attack.

This is also to quickly elevate his own cultivation, to counter those Old Gods who hold immense hostility towards the Human Clan.

——

This time, in the valley of the Earth Official of the Plague Department, more than thirty powerful aliens were slain.

Every alien was at least comparable to the Creation Level.

Many reached the Saint Realm.

Especially those God and Demon descendants, whose bodies contain Divine Blood, after being slain, yield greater benefits than ordinary evils.

The total Evil Qi gained exceeds 1,900,000.

Among them, the Evil Qi from the Earth Official of the Plague Department was used by him to heal wounds, fully recovering, pushing his abilities to the extreme.

The remaining Evil Qi, over a million, was put into his cultivation.

Cultivation: Human Martial Saint (12092/365957)+

Another 570,000 plus Evil Qi was invested in the Fire Prison Nether Mountain Dragon Capturing Seal.

This cultivation technique is a method to refine the body and enhance strength, and also a physical combat technique.

However, practicing it is highly consuming.

To avoid slowing down Shangguan Shang's cultivation, he didn't directly impart it but compiled it into a book, leaving it for Shangguan Shang to practice upon breaking the Ultimate Heaven.

And Lin Yan, with more than 570,000 Evil Qi, directly cultivated six seals.

They are located on his arms, chest, back, head, and neck!

Now beginning to practice the seventh seal (1/95260)!

"The completion of the Fire Prison Nether Mountain Dragon Capturing Seal is akin to wearing armor of the Old God's Magic Artifact level!"

"Plus my Vajra Indestructible Holy Body, the physical toughness of my flesh can be compared to the body of an Old God."

"The arms, chest, back, head, and neck are like weapons, as firm as divine iron, ready to counter mighty foes."

"Once all eleven seals are fully cultivated, I can steadily enhance my cultivation while gradually practicing Vajra Indestructible Holy Body and other magical methods."

Thinking thus, he felt quite satisfied.

Previously, he had already slain many God and Demon descendants.

Presumably, in the near future, this land will see many more Gods and Demons attacking, perhaps even royal families.

By then, the Evil Qi he will gain will be even more immense.

"Not long after the great catastrophe of ancient times, perhaps there are still surviving Immortal Gods, or bloodlines of direct lineage of Immortal Gods, as well as Old God Magic Artifacts imbued with abundant Divine Power..."

Lin Yan thought to himself: "In confronting foreign races, my combat power is nearly breaking the Extreme Heaven! But in this Red Nether Era, the phenomena of Immortal Gods bleeding have not yet dissipated, so the legacy of Immortal Gods must be plenty; when facing the strongest God and Demon descendants... I might not truly be invincible, I must become even stronger!"

——

Shortly after returning to the Upper Heaven.

Shangguan Shang has already begun seclusion, attempting to break through to become the Human Martial Saint.

Shangguan Xuanniao, with potential slightly inferior to Shangguan Shang, only waited for his own unfilial son to succeed in cultivation before gaining some experiences and then trying himself.

But this time, he has become increasingly reverent towards Lin Yan.

He initially suspected Lin Yan to be a God and Demon descendant.

Later, he discovered Lin Yan was the Human Clan's supreme powerhouse, surpassing the era's divisions of realms.

And now seeing Lin Yan being genuinely willing to impart techniques, aiding their family in advancing to become Human Martial Saints.

This great kindness and virtue make Shangguan Xuanniao eager to cut himself open, drain all his essence blood, to dissolve the corpses of various demons, providing Lin Yan with an unending supply of gourmet sustenance.
