I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 788 - 442: Seize the Saint Master and Reborn! [Extra Update]

Chapter 788: Chapter 442: Seize the Saint Master and Reborn! [Extra Update]

A scorching sun shone brightly in the sky.

Wherever the light reached, there was a blade’s aura.

All manner of demons and evils perished!

"Within the Withered Glory Sacred Land, this is the fourth demonic force to have signed a pact with the Kurong Saint Master."

Lin Yan’s expression was solemn as he looked towards the direction where the Little White Ape was heading.

That was the direction of the Withered Glory Sacred Land.

Based on Shangguan Youqi’s previous calculations, the Kurong Saint Master had already cultivated the Withering and Flourishing Saint Technique to its highest level.

The holy elephant ancestral being that survived from the era of the two emperors, during its slumber, was most likely regarded by the Kurong Saint Master as a vessel for rebirth.

One branch with two leaves.

When one leaf withers, the other flourishes.

The latter would inherit everything from the former.

The union of the two would reach a higher level.

According to Shangguan Youqi’s understanding, the transformation of the Withering and Flourishing Saint Technique does not occur instantaneously.

The first must die, and the latter would inherit everything, at least after ten breaths of transformation.

But if within the same breath, the "two leaves" could be slain swiftly, preventing "life and death from embracing," stopping the transformation, then both leaves would wither!

By then, the Supreme Town Object of the Withered Glory Sacred Land would fall into silence.

The silence of the Supreme Town Object would likewise turn the sacred land into a harsh dead zone, unsuitable for any life form’s survival.

But over time, in about sixty years, it would recover.

"Sixty years, for an ordinary person of the Human Clan, is a lifetime."

Lin Yan sighed.

During this sixty-year period, within the scope of the Withered Glory Sacred Land, the Human Clan would inevitably be unable to suppress the various demonic forces.

All prefectures, cities, and Pure Lands would lose their support, making it even harder for the human populace to protect their lives.

A single Saint Master, in terms of combat strength, may not necessarily be stronger than a Human Martial Saint.

But the sacred land behind him, being the arena of the Immortal God, in invisibly suppresses a region, restraining the birth of demons and evil spirits.

But once a sacred land is destroyed, unless there are more than four Human Martial Saints taking over from different positions to replace the presence of the sacred land to suppress the demons,

otherwise not to mention the current chaos of demons and evils, within ten years, a large number of demons and evil spirits would be born and devour each other, thereby giving rise to powerful demonic forces.

Back when the Heavenly Yuan Saint Master unexpectedly fell, the sacred land was in turmoil, taking sixty years to recover and appoint a new Heavenly Yuan Saint Master.

And during those sixty years, within the scope of the Heavenly Yuan Sacred Land, the number of demons increased a hundredfold, and among them, there were no fewer than ten Demon Kings and Evil Lords that surpassed their tier.

Even an Ancestor Blood Sky Demon and two Sanctum Ascension evil spirits emerged.

When the final sixty-year period came, and the Supreme Town Object of the sacred land was restored, these powerful demons even sought to seize the sacred land, to establish a demonic force led by a Saint Master.

Ultimately, it was the contemporary Alliance Hierarch who personally intervened, sweeping away the demons, capturing the Supreme Town Object of the Heavenly Yuan Sacred Land, and bestowing it upon a rising star of the Holy Alliance.

——

Withered Glory Sacred Land.

If outside, the Kurong Saint Master’s combat strength was only equivalent to breaking through the Sixth Heaven.

But within the sacred land, harnessing the might of the Immortal God Arena, his combat strength exceeded the ordinary.

Unlike the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, which specialized in alchemy and medicine, the Withered Glory Sacred Land has long been famed for its prowess in battle.

However, the Supreme Profound Yang Demon Sealing Nail pierced through the Withered Glory Sacred Land, inflicting an injury on the Saint Master comparable to a blade piercing through the chest.

"As expected of someone who once contested for the position of Alliance Hierarch, relying solely on personal cultivation to break through the Upper Three Heavens!"

The Kurong Saint Master sighed and said: "With merely an Old God’s Magical Objects, almost breaking the Nine Heavens! I am not a match..."

He sat high and sighed: "If I hadn’t inherited the Withered Glory Sacred Land, perhaps by following a conventional path of cultivation, I might have broken through the boundaries of a Human Martial Saint. Give me another hundred years, and I wouldn’t be weaker than you..."

Integrating with the Immortal God Arena is a shortcut to ascension.

But it’s also a cliff that pretty much cuts off the path forward.

One step to great heights is just the peak.

How high that peak is depends on the origin of this Immortal God Arena.

Being one with the Withered Glory Sacred Land, his path of cultivation has reached its end.

Following conventional magic methods, advancing further is impossible!

That’s why he’s scheming for the Heavenly Gate!

The Gate of Tao mastered by the Heavenly Gate Master!

Regrettably, the Heavenly Gate Master fell, the Gate of Tao disappeared, and Heavenly Gate City was destroyed, catching him completely off guard and happening too suddenly for him to intervene.

"I am a prodigy of the heavens, if relying on my cultivation, in the future, I may have been able to compete for the position of Master of the Holy Alliance..."

The Kurong Saint Master said sternly: "But those old things only deemed my cultivation of the Human Clan’s cultivation techniques as talented yet not world-shaking... They believed my physique was most suited for the Withering and Flourishing Saint Technique, far surpassing my predecessors! They forced me to abandon the path of the Human Martial Saint and unite with this sacred land..."

As his voice continued.

The Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall was approaching ever nearer.

During this time, the high ranks of the sacred land were constantly attacking him.

The entire sacred land’s Qi Mechanism weighed upon him.

Every move seemed as if mired in a swamp.

The mountains within the sacred land rose from the ground, blocking his way.

"..."

This Commander of the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department could have delayed matters, defeating the Kurong Saint Master with less effort.

But he remembered the twenty-breath military order.

He didn’t hesitate to exchange wounds for lives.

Forcefully using himself to counter the pressure of the sacred land.

Forcefully with his Martial Saint’s body, breaking through the mountains of the sacred land.

He finally reached the Kurong Saint Master.

"..."

The Kurong Saint Master, his expression unchanged, looked at the Commander of the Demon Suppression Department who had come to kill him, and said: "I do not accept fate, nor admit defeat, so..."

"What’s the point of talking? It’s the nineteenth breath now..."

The Commander, covered in blood, expressionless, slashed out with his blade.

The blade’s light suddenly rose!
