I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Chapter 1136 - 605: The Great Sun Fire Gradually Dims

Sixty years ago, most of the Human Clan's high-ranking members sacrificed their lives for a fleeting hope.

However, sixteen people backed out of this sacrifice at the last moment.

The Fire Ape Venerable before us is one of those sixteen.

The main reason Lin Yan does not kill him is considering this fact.

Despite withdrawing from the sacrifice, he once went with the intent to offer himself.

Only later, realizing the endeavor was indeed futile and unwilling to waste his life, did he retreat.

Even upon leaving, he never exposed the Human Clan's high-ranking scheme.

He never used this to curry favor with the Divine Demon Clan, seeking an opportunity to become a god or demon.

"If you don't take action, I will probably leave tomorrow."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "But why do you seek death?"

He reached out and grasped the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, slowly drawing it.

The blade was sharp, reflecting a cold light.

Simultaneously, Lin Yan's height soared to a hundred feet, looking down.

The Heavenly Eye opened on his forehead, with divine power surging forth.

All beings were terrified, not daring to face it directly.

"..."

The Fire Ape Venerable had turned into a red-furred old ape, his face ferocious, with sharp fangs and a menacing appearance.

His eyes turned crimson, and he said coldly, "Today, you must die!"

With a wave of his hand, countless flames shot from the mountaintop.

Each flame seemed to be a long spear.

"Countless Streams of Fire!"

The Fire Ape Venerable's eyes were filled with madness.

Each spear here was personally crafted by him.

This formation was a heritage from the Suppression Object of Zi Huo Monkey.

The more spears there were, the stronger the formation became.

Despite merging with the Suppression Object, his cultivation only equaled breaking the Fourth Heaven of the Saint Realm, far from being a match for this Human Clan's strongest.

But this formation was his accumulation over decades.

"Decades of accumulation explode in one moment; who in the world can withstand it?"

The Fire Ape Venerable laughed sinisterly, his entire mana pouring out.

The entire Holy Land's qi mechanism supported those countless spears.

"..."

Lin Yan sighed, pointed his long sword forward, and said, "Soldier!"

In an instant, every firelight froze in place!

"How is this possible?"

The Fire Ape Venerable showed a horrified expression: "Do you have the Treasure-Gathering Money?"

"Decades of accumulation explode in an instant, indeed enough to threaten me."

Lin Yan said slowly, "Unfortunately, it's not the accumulation of divine mana, but weapons."

Every flame, inside it, was a rune-engraved spear, all weapons.

The Treasure-Gathering Money is probably the only treasure that can restrain this Great Array.

But although Lin Yan didn't bring the Treasure-Gathering Money, he possessed the True Word of Soldier Divine Power.

Under this divine power, all weapons fell under his control.

Numerous spears dropped from the sky, embedding into the ground.

The formation collapsed without attack!

The Fire Ape Venerable roared with fury!

Lin Yan reached out and pressed, pinning him to the ground.

"You want to kill me?" The Fire Ape Venerable's eyes turned icy.

"What? Can't kill?" Lin Yan said coldly.

"Kill me, and this Holy Land becomes a Forbidden Land; hundreds of thousands will perish," said the Fire Ape Venerable. "The outside world is already devoid of life; even if you relocate them, they won't survive... As the Human Clan's most revered existence, do you truly wish to doom hundreds of thousands of your kin?"

"Is this the reason you dared to assassinate?" Lin Yan said calmly: "Relied on me not daring to kill you?"

"I dared to assassinate simply because I want to kill you!" the Fire Ape Venerable said coldly.

"Because you fled from the sacrifice that year?" Lin Yan fell silent for a moment before saying, "You can't get over it in your heart?"

"That was nothing but a vague, laughable suicide mission!"

The Fire Ape Venerable roared, "But how could that joke give birth to a figure like you?"

"How could their choice be right?"

"When I left back then, I was anxious, fearing I had ruined the Human Clan's great affairs."

"Until they failed, could I finally rest assured, knowing I was right."

"They died in vain, causing the Human Clan to lose key figures, making life increasingly tough, resulting in heavy casualties, plundered by gods and demons, and evil."

"Only I, keeping my life, saved many Human Clan people."

"They were wrong, and I was right."

"But now, you're standing here alive, proving I was wrong, and they were right."

"How could I be wrong?"

"Regarding the eternal affairs of the Human Clan, how could I have backed down?"

"How can I be the sinner who held back the Human Clan's development?"

"Born as a human, my life dedicated to the Human Clan, seeking the tribe's prosperity, standing righteous and upright in the world, with a clear conscience."

"But ever since hearing about you, I've felt nothing but shame; without your death, I cannot rest."

The Fire Ape Venerable howled in a hoarse voice.

Lin Yan was enveloped in silence.

Yun Qing's eyes were filled with sadness as well.

She seemed to see her future.

Clearly a strong Human Clan figure with a heart for the race.

In the end, under the influence of the Immortal God Arena, the whispers of self-deified gods and demons, and the corruption of Deceit Night, the other side turned grotesque.

"What kind of logic is this?"

Little White Ape couldn't help but peek out, angrily saying: "Since you've seen the right path, shouldn't you help us with all your might to strengthen the Human Clan? How can killing us to prove you were right not be self-deception, covering your ears but stealing the bell, and having a disordered mind?"

"Rubbish!"

The Fire Ape Venerable's eyes turned crimson, his whole body erupting in flames.

But amidst the flames, streaks of dark qi mechanism leaked out continuously.

He had gone mad.

Under countless influences, under the erosion of Deceit Night, under the weight of his guilt, he had become completely insane.
