The God of Heavens

Chapter 156 Yin Shen
Two Yin Gods, each six thousand years old, appeared.

This time, Lin Yu had encountered a real ghost. The figure of the Feathered Emperor on the stone carving was blurry, as if in the mist, while the two Daoist boys were lifelike, as if they had walked out of the stone wall, vivid and lifelike.

In the past, the first ancestral vein of the Central Plains was shrouded in immortal energy, with auspicious clouds bursting forth and rainbows spanning the sun and moon, resembling a supreme immortal land.

Now, the overwhelming ghostly aura soars to the heavens, all spirits wail in despair, and countless vengeful ghosts have been bred over endless years.

The two exquisitely crafted Daoist boys before me were originally attendants of the Feathered Emperor. In life, their cultivation was extraordinary, and after death, they were buried in an extremely mysterious place. Their primordial spirits perished, but their physical bodies remained immortal. After hundreds of thousands of years of nourishment, their bodies regenerated, and new consciousness was born.

“We will not blame you for disturbing our slumber, after all, this place has been sealed for many years, but you need to apologize to the Emperor.”

The two young Taoist disciples gestured, indicating that the Feathered Emperor was sleeping in the small world ahead, and that he should go and apologize.

The young Taoist boy, with his rosy lips and white teeth, appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old, yet he exuded the aura of an ancient saint. Even as they witnessed Lin Yu's rampage through the first thirty-four levels of heaven, they remained calm and composed.

In their eyes, Lin Yu was at most a Saint, and the two of them together were more than a match for him. Moreover, they firmly believed that the Feathered Emperor was still backing them up, which was their greatest reliance.

However, Lin Yu's ability to break through the previous obstacles must mean he is quite strong, especially those four half-saint level god-slaying insects. Even if they joined forces, it would take them a lot of effort. Therefore, they still chose to use coercion and inducement.

During the cultivation process, each breakthrough in a major realm unlocks a divine treasure within the body, allowing for continuous enhancement of potential, much like a divine pupa undergoing metamorphosis or a complete transformation.

The Feathered Divine Dynasty twisted the original physique with evil magic, turning it into array patterns representing the ascension of many people who sacrificed themselves.

Lin Yu knew that these two Yin Gods wanted to use him as a sacrifice to awaken the Feather Emperor. The existence of a saint would be a grand feast.

With a flick of their fingers, the two young Taoist boys pointed to an ancient road that led directly to the highest holy temple. The temple gates were tightly closed, and deep inside, hanging from the eaves, were many demons with devil wings. They were all descendants of the Yin God, and their appearances were ferocious and chilling.

The young Taoist boy sneered and said, "Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you. Please enter the Temple of the Supreme Ancestor."

With a flick of her sleeve, the stone gate in the distance burst open with a loud bang, revealing the final layer of the temple's miniature world.

Endless auspicious clouds burst forth, thousands of auspicious rays piercing the heavens and earth, ten thousand divine rainbows intertwining into a net. The essence of the dragon's energy from the first ancestral vein of Central China converges here.

Thousands upon thousands of rays of divine light rose up, illuminating the heavens and earth with dazzling brilliance. Nestled among the mountains was a cluster of ancient temples, sacred and serene.

Several temples resonate with the main road, their surfaces entwined with countless chains of divine order, each containing the insights of ancient sages.

Some temples were constantly spewing out divine light, with crimson and purple mists intertwining and dancing, clearly containing astonishing divine ingredients.

Lin Yu was startled. The familiar fluctuations made him instantly certain that there must be immortal gold hidden inside one of the temples.

Furthermore, the ancient temple emanated bursts of chanting, as if reciting the supreme Dao scriptures. The densely packed ancient characters were imprinted in the void, exhaling boundless divine light.

At the entrance of the ancestral cave, a stone formation floats and sinks. It rises and falls with the auspicious clouds, dances with the rainbow, and constantly absorbs the essence of the ten directions, making it sacred and extraordinary.

"With the Great Emperor's Holy Embryo before you, why don't you kneel down and apologize!" The two child-like Yin Gods, though small in stature, spoke in rough, aged voices filled with chilling coldness.

Lin Yu's gaze swept over the two young but sinister faces of the Daoist disciples with a deep and unsettling look, and he sneered inwardly.

"How pathetic," he sighed inwardly.

These two Yin Gods, who have lived for six thousand years, are ultimately nothing more than pitiful creatures left behind by the Feathered God Dynasty. They devoutly guard a faith that has long since ceased to exist, placing all their hopes on a vague and illusory phantom.

Lin Yu knew perfectly well that the so-called "Supreme Holy Temple" contained only an empty stone embryo, and the so-called Feathered Emperor was no longer there.

"You..." Lin Yu spoke slowly, his voice tinged with pity, "Do you really believe that the Feathered Emperor is still slumbering inside?"

Upon hearing this, the two young Taoist disciples' expressions changed drastically. Their childlike, innocent faces instantly twisted into ferocious expressions.

"How dare you! How dare you question the Great Emperor!" the boy shouted shrilly, his body surging with yin energy.

Lin Yu remained unmoved and continued, "Since you awoke from your slumber, have you heard of any decrees issued by the Feathered Emperor?"

"Shut up!" the little girl shrieked, her childish voice trembling with a piercing intensity. "The Great Emperor's achievements are beyond the comprehension of a mortal like you!"

Looking at their hysterical state, Lin Yu understood that in the face of fanatical faith, any rational questioning was futile.

"Since that's the case," Lin Yu slowly raised his right hand, his palm beginning to gather dazzling divine light, "then let me send you to see the Great Emperor you've been longing for."

"boom!"

The entire world trembled as a divine furnace, its entire body gilded, slowly descended from the void, its boundless holy radiance filling the entire world.

The Hell Furnace stretched across the void, its surface covered with countless ancient runes that lit up simultaneously, each rune containing the immense power to suppress heaven and earth.

Heavenly fire spewed out from the furnace mouth, transforming into nine fire dragons that coiled and danced, sealing off the area within a thousand miles and forming a furnace between heaven and earth.

The two young Taoist disciples' expressions changed drastically; they felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Lin Yu raised his right hand, and the Hell Furnace crashed down with a deafening roar. Nine fire dragons coiled and danced, surrounding the two Daoist boys. Ancient runes on the furnace surface flickered, transforming into golden chains that wrapped around them.

"How dare you! You dare to disrespect the Emperor!" the boy screamed, his body filled with yin energy that transformed into thousands of vengeful ghosts that pounced on the fire dragon.

"Today I will surely destroy you, body and soul!" the girl chanted, reciting an ancient incantation.

In an instant, one Dao pattern after another flickered and shone with brilliant divine light, attempting to activate the array here to sacrifice Lin Yu alive.

Lin Yu sneered, and the divine flames of the furnace surged, instantly obliterating the approaching vengeful ghosts. Golden chains pierced through the barrier of yin energy, firmly binding the two Daoist boys. "Impossible! How can you possess such cultivation!" The boy exclaimed in horror as he discovered that the yin energy within his body was rapidly dissipating.

The little girl screamed, "You're about to die! Such a sin, even if you die a thousand times, you can't atone for it!"

The two Yin Gods were terrified. Who was this person? So stubborn! The Feathered Emperor was right in front of them, yet he still dared to attack them. Moreover, his strength far exceeded their expectations, and now they were about to be annihilated here.

"Why don't you invite the Feathered Emperor out here?"

Lin Yu looked at the floating stone embryo, and a chaotic sword aura condensed at his fingertips: "Your Great Emperor is long gone!"

"Stop!" the boy cried out, his eyes wide with fury. "How dare you desecrate the Great Emperor's sacred embryo!"

Lin Yu ignored him, his sword energy bursting forth and striking the stone embryo.

"boom!"

The stone body cracked in response, but instead of the expected imperial might, only fragments of light drifted out and slowly dissipated in the void.

"Impossible!" The little girl stared blankly at the shattered stone embryo. "Six thousand years ago, the Great Emperor revived from the ancestral veins and awakened us as well, bestowing upon us the memories of our past lives and entrusting us with the task of guarding the Supreme Temple..."

The boy suddenly screamed wildly, "It's fake! It's all fake! What kind of illusion did you use?!"

Lin Yu coldly stared at the two crazed Yin spirits: "Now you understand? What you're protecting is nothing but an empty shell."

"It must be hidden deep within our ancestral veins! The Great Emperor would never abandon us!"

The little girl screamed hysterically, her body churning violently with yin energy, "I'm going to find the Great Emperor..."

"boom!"

Lin Yu remained unmoved, and the divine flames of the Hell Furnace intensified. The bodies of the two Daoist disciples began to disintegrate, and pure primordial power was extracted.

"Roar!"

The boy's face contorted, and he suddenly let out a shrill scream. In an instant, the demonic winged descendants of the Yin God hanging under the eaves opened their scarlet eyes and swarmed towards the furnace.

"In vain." Lin Yu snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, he scattered a dazzling rain of light. The light spots were like runes and divine lamps, colliding and clanging with each other.

They were all thumb-sized god-slaying insects, their bodies covered with tiny golden scales, resembling hornless little dragons.

"what…………"

A scream rang out, and golden rain fell, covering all the descendants of the Yin Gods, devouring the essence within their flesh and blood, not even sparing their primordial spirit.

It has to be said that these little things are incredibly useful for clearing out mobs.

Upon seeing this, the girl suddenly bit her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She formed hand seals and chanted an ancient incantation: "Earth's dragon energy, heed my command!"

The entire earth began to tremble violently, and dragon-shaped ley lines of earth energy burst forth from the ground, coiling towards the Hell Furnace. However, a mocking smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips: "Playing with the earth's veins in front of me?

With a stomp of his foot, the Origin Heaven Patterns instantly spread out for thousands of miles. The raging dragon-shaped earth energy suddenly became docile, instead changing direction and binding the two Yin Gods even more tightly.

"Impossible!" the girl screamed. "This is the dragon-controlling technique of the Feathered Divine Dynasty! How could you possibly..."

"You dare to show off your mere dragon-controlling skills in front of Master Yuan?" Lin Yu made a hand seal, and the divine flames in the Hell Furnace surged.

The nine fire dragons simultaneously let out a deafening roar, the temperature inside the furnace soared, and the bodies of the two Yin Gods began to melt at a visible speed.

"You thief!" the boy screamed shrilly, "The Feathered Divine Dynasty will not let you get away with this!"

The little girl cursed viciously: "When the Great Emperor returns, I will ensure you are never reincarnated!"

Lin Yu snorted coldly: "Stubborn to the end."

The divine flames in the furnace surged, and the forms of the two Daoist boys completely dissipated, leaving only two pure primordial energies floating within the furnace. Those primordial energies were crystal clear, radiating a rich vitality and Daoist charm, like two dazzling stars floating in the divine fire.

Lin Yu reached out, and two wisps of primordial energy flew out of the furnace, condensing into two pure white divine pills the size of dragon eyes in his palm. Natural Dao patterns flowed on the surface of the pills, and dragon energy seemed to move within them, emitting a refreshing fragrance that soothed the mind and body.

"As expected of a Yin God's essence nurtured for over two hundred thousand years." A hint of admiration flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

The life force contained in these two divine pills is so immense that it could transform a mortal, and they are rare treasures even for a saint. If refined using alchemy techniques, they could even create a new saint.

He took out two jade boxes and sealed the divine pills separately. Instantly, fine Origin Heaven Divine Runes appeared on the surface of the jade boxes, firmly locking in the essence of the divine pills.

He had other plans for these two divine pills; whether they were used to cultivate trusted confidants or to aid in breakthroughs, they were excellent choices.

After dealing with the two Yin Gods, Lin Yu turned his gaze to the descendants of the Yin Gods who were still putting up a stubborn resistance.

He snorted coldly, and a vortex of hell appeared, sweeping across the sky and the earth. Wherever it passed, the monsters with demon wings turned into blood mist and were completely swallowed up by the dark golden vortex.

"Absorb!" Lin Yu made a hand seal and pointed, causing the Hell Furnace to spin in the air, absorbing all the remaining Yin energy. The entire thirty-five-layered small world was instantly cleared, and the gloom that had permeated it for six thousand years finally dissipated.

Having done all this, Lin Yu stepped towards the open stone door. The thirty-sixth level of the small world was right before him; the most crucial secret of the Feathered Divine Dynasty was about to be revealed.
