I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 758 - 427: Legend of the Heavenly Talisman! Extreme

The first layer of protective barrier outside Shangguan Youqi’s body cracked under the saber light.

"You’ve reached the peak level of the Creation stage."

Shangguan Youqi nodded slightly and said, "You still haven’t reached the combat power of a Human Martial Saint; this is not your true skill."

Lin Yan’s gaze focused slightly.

In the next mont, his Qi chanism rose steadily.

The Power of Incense replaced the Mana!

His not yet perfected Primordial Spirit unleashed power comparable to a Peak Primordial Spirit.

Then his eyes beca extrely resolute.

Dou Character True Mantra Divine Power!

Soldier True Word Divine Power!

Netherworld Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

At the sa ti, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword in his hand took the initiative to perform the Netherworld Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade, combining with Lin Yan’s saber technique.

The saber light reappeared, and thunder rose again!

At this mont, the first layer of protective barrier outside Shangguan Youqi shattered in an instant.

Even the second layer of protective barrier couldn’t hold, destroyed by the saber light!

The remaining montum of the saber light struck the third layer of protective barrier!

Boom!!!

The third layer of protective barrier imdiately beca covered in cracks!

"A little stronger, and it could break through the Third Heaven."

Shangguan Youqi said with a slightly heavy tone.

In the next mont, Lin Yan took a lotus step, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the third protective barrier.

Golden light erged on his body, transforming into a towering robust man over ten zhang tall, with muscles knotted, hands and feet hinting at dragon roars and tiger howls.

The power of one dragon and two tigers!

Five Mountains Dragon Capture technique!

He clenched his fists and blasted through the third protective barrier!

Maintaining the Golden Body Divine Power, he took hold of the Night Illuminating Divine Sword and slashed down!

The fourth protective barrier erupted with light!

This strike nearly pierced through the fourth protective barrier!

Then Lin Yan retreated, sheathing his sword.

The next mont, light appeared on the fourth protective barrier, healing it once more.

"Able to break the Third Heaven, but to break the Fourth Heaven, it’s relatively close."

Shangguan Youqi remarked with awe, "Such skill, even among Human Martial Saints, is not common. It’s hard to imagine... you haven’t yet achieved the Human Martial Saint level."

"..."

With a calm expression, Lin Yan pondered to himself.

In the face of the powerful experts of the Human Clan, he was roughly at the threshold before the Fourth Heaven.

But against sothing like demons and evil spirits, along with the Demon Suppression Divine Power, his offensive power could break through the Fourth Heaven, engaging Heavenly Demons and Holy Spirits head-on.

With the Qi Eating Divine Power, constantly restoring his own mana, plus the foundation of incense.

It’s not impossible to kill Fourth Heaven’s Heavenly Demons and Holy Spirits.

He mused, estimating.

The Taiyin Thunder Envoy of the Demon Domain, almost beyond the category of the Creation stage, now seed to rely on thunder divine skills to break the First Heaven.

The Flag Master Tian Kui of the Taixuan Garrison was likely at this level as well.

As for the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master, regarding alchemy dao mastery, he was peerless, but his ability to fight head-on might not break the Third Heaven.

Of course, if the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master planted an early ambush, trapping the opponent in the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the situation would be entirely different.

Thinking about it, he estimated that the previous generation old prince of the Southern King City should be at the level of breaking the Third Heaven.

The incense golden body of the Demon-Repelling True Master is difficult to estimate.

As for the Great Saint of Beishan, currently Lin Yan couldn’t gauge His combat abilities, but at least for now, he wasn’t confident of surpassing Him at His peak.

Had it not been for the early attack on Beishan Holy Land that led to the Great Saint of Beishan being severely injured, he might not have managed to escape, let alone later using the God-breaking Mallet and Niu Yan to trap and kill the Great Saint of Beishan!

"The current Prince Zhen Nan, with Creation Peak cultivation, using the Inner Realm Divine Domain of Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun, and commanding fifty thousand troops."

"Plus the power of the three Old God’s Magical Objects, his offense and defense should not be weaker than a Human Martial Saint who has broken the Third Heaven."

"But fifty thousand troops aren’t the limit. Throughout the ages, the Southern King has controlled millions of elite troops... If they form a military formation, aiding him within the Inner Realm Divine Domain, his strength is unpredictable."

Lin Yan secretly said, "No wonder he can guard the southern border of the Holy Alliance, standing against the entire Demon Domain without reaching Human Martial Saint level!"

Thinking this way, he looked at Shangguan Youqi in front of him and said calmly, "How many heavenly realms can you break through?"

"..."

Shangguan Youqi sighed and said, "At my peak, I also broke through the Nine Heavens realm, but now, my Dao injury hasn’t healed, and I’ve weakened a lot..."

He spread his hands and said, "For now, I can only rely on these various treasures to protect myself."

Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, pondered for a mont, and then asked, "In ancient tis, breaking through the Nine Heavens realm ant one could ascend in a blaze of glory?"

"That’s how it is in legend."

Shangguan Youqi nodded and said this.

"Then what was the scene like after you broke through the Nine Heavens realm?"

Lin Yan asked aloud.

"Standing above the azure sky, I could overlook all living things."

Shangguan Youqi sighed and said, "But above my head, there was a barrier, pressing down to the mortal world, unable to lift my head."

Lin Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed and he said, "A barrier?"

Shangguan Youqi said, "In the era of the first Human Emperor..."

He hesitated here for so reason, looking complex, and sighed, "In those tis, it was called the Immortal God Barrier!"

"The Immortal God Barrier?"

Lin Yan pondered slightly.

Shangguan Youqi continued, "But in the ti of the Second Generation Human Emperor, it was called Extre Heaven."

"The Second Generation Human Emperor believed that nine is the ultimate number; breaking through the Nine Heavens ans standing at the highest point of the mortal world."

"Standing at the highest point of the mortal world signifies that the path of cultivation has reached its end."

"Only by breaking through this endpoint can there be a new beginning."

"So he called this Immortal God Barrier Extre Heaven, and later on, it was referred to as the Tenth Heaven."

Shangguan Youqi spoke with a very complex tone.

Lin Yan was silent for a mont and asked, "After the ancient era, has anyone broken through Extre Heaven?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Youqi nodded solemnly.

"Did they ascend or beco an Immortal God in this mortal world?" Lin Yan asked in a heavy voice.

"They died." Shangguan Youqi shook his head and said.

"Died?" Lin Yan frowned deeply.

"Breaking through Extre Heaven also breaks through the imperable body of the Martial Saint." Shangguan Youqi said slowly, "So, the end of cultivation is a dead end! Throughout history, those with astonishing talents break through this final step, only to turn to dust within sixty years..."

"..." Lin Yan was silent for a mont and asked, "What is the reason?"

"I don’t know."

Shangguan Youqi shook his head and said, "It’s just that through the ages, so predecessors of the Human Clan have speculated that taking this step is to beco an Immortal God!"

"But after the Deceit Night descended, even Immortal Gods beca silent, and people of later generations could not tread the path to beco Immortal Gods."

"It’s like a towering peak ahead, once connected by a divine bridge reaching to the sky."

"But the bridge has been broken."

"If we continue forward from the mountaintop, we’ll only fall into the endless abyss."

"So those who break through Extre Heaven are unable to escape death."

He said this, sighing.

Lin Yan’s gaze slightly narrowed.

The Little White Ape also showed a serious expression.

And Shangguan Youqi, with peculiar eyes, continued, "Before the First Human Emperor, those who broke through Extre Heaven would always perish within a cycle of sixty years."

"They often contained themselves like ordinary n, with not a trace of great power, sealing off the loss of vitality, suppressing the circulation of mana."

"But these figures, if they ever took action, could suppress the strong of their era, thoroughly dominating a generation!"

After thinking for a mont, Shangguan Youqi continued, "They are like a stack of campfires."

"In ordinary tis, they only retain a fire seed to prevent the flas from extinguishing."

"Whenever the fire seed is about to go out, they add a stick to continue the burning; before this stick is burned out, they add another stick."

"In this way, they maintain the long existence of the fla... but can keep the fla for only sixty years at most."

"If they encounter a calamity, they would throw all their sticks into the fla, and by then, they ignite into a blazing fire, scorching waves rolling in, hotter than anything, like the blazing sun."

"But only in that mont, the dazzling light blooms, brightening even the dark night."

Shangguan Youqi sighed, "Afterward, only ashes remain... and they themselves turn to dust."

He looked at Lin Yan, his expression solemn, and said, "Throughout history, only three people, after breaking through Extre Heaven, managed to preserve themselves and go further, competing with Ancient Old Gods."

"Two Human Emperors?"

Lin Yan realized imdiately and pondered, "And the third person?"

Shangguan Youqi’s expression grew increasingly complex; he sighed, shook his head, and said, "The final outco, I have never seen."
