Chapter 3474 Yin Shen Great Tribulation

: Neither human, nor demon, nor devil, nor immortal!

Yin God!

This name was the first time Shen Changqing had heard it. Seeing the confusion on his face, Ji Yang patiently explained, “The Yin God can be considered a strange product of the residual souls of all living beings. Normal Yin Gods lack a physical form.   Furthermore, Yin Gods are peculiar and, tainted by the power of the Yellow Springs, are extremely difficult to slay.   Furthermore, their powerful spirits often possess the bodies of others, or even gather the bodies of other beings, stitching them together into a complete form for their own use.   The monsters Master saw in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone were, in fact, the bodies stitched together by the Yin Gods.   These bodies are merely borrowed shells for the Yin Gods, and even if slain, they pose no threat to the Yin Gods themselves.   To truly slay a Yin God, one must utterly annihilate it with the sheer force of their spirit—”   Only then   did Shen Changqing truly understand.   What exactly was the so-called Yin God?   A product of the Yellow Springs!   Difficult to slay—   Shen Changqing understood this latter point well.   After the Yin God’s body was destroyed, it would have retreated underground into the Yellow Springs restricted area. Even if he wanted to kill it, it would be difficult to do so.   Of course,   if Shen Changqing were given enough time, he was confident that he could find the Yin God and then destroy it piece by piece.   However, doing so would definitely not take a day or a night.   Without sufficient years, it would be impossible to achieve.   ”Do you know what kind of existence the Yellow Springs is?”   Shen Changqing couldn’t help but ask.   He had previously collected a lot of information about the Yellow Springs, but the accounts were all different.   However, there was one point that all the accounts agreed on:   the Yellow Springs was dangerous and should not be ventured into rashly.   Ji Yang said, “I’m not sure what the Yellow Springs is. Some say it’s the final resting place of the dead, the place where the creatures of Chaos go after they die.   But in reality, the death of a creature is the return of the soul to the heavenly way, which should have nothing to do with the Yellow Springs.   However, there are some creatures whose souls fall into the Yellow Springs by chance.   After all, the Yellow Springs is very large, and no one knows where it ends. However, the entrance to the Yellow Springs can exist in multiple places at the same time.   Not only in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but even in the Chaos Void, there are entrances to the Yellow Springs.”   Ji Yang paused   at this point .   Then he continued.   ”There’s also news that the Yellow Springs runs through the entire Primal Chaos, but no one knows whether this is true or not. After all, no one has ever reached the end of the Yellow Springs, let alone explored it in its entirety.”   ”Furthermore, there are also claims that the Yellow Springs is the dojo of a supreme being.   Still others claim that the Yellow Springs is the tomb of a supreme being, and beneath the Yellow Springs lies a supreme immortal tomb!”   ”But rumors are just rumors. No one knows the details. But one thing is certain: the Yellow Springs holds great opportunities.   For countless ages, many ancient masters have found their opportunities in the Yellow Springs, ultimately establishing their power and leaving a profound mark in the long river of time.”   Upon hearing this ,   Shen Changqing fell into deep thought.   The secrets of the Yellow Springs were greater than he had imagined.   Even Ji Yang, who in his previous life surpassed the Supreme Being, had difficulty truly exploring the secrets of the Yellow Springs, but he could see a few things.   Then.   Shen Changqing looked toward the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, his brows furrowed slightly. “Is there a second method to destroy the Yin God?”   ”No… at least, this is the only method I know of!”   Ji Yang shook his head at first, but then realized he was speaking too slowly, so he added another sentence.   Finally,   he continued, “Master, there’s no need to worry. The existence of Yin Gods is forbidden by Heaven. These Yin Gods can only survive by relying on the protection of the Yellow Springs’ power.   If a Yin God leaves the range of the Yellow Springs’ power, it will incur divine punishment, and at that time, the Yin God will also perish.   Therefore, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone can be considered the Yin God’s lair. As long as you don’t enter the forbidden area, there’s no need to worry about the Yin God’s threat!”   ”I see.”   Shen Changqing’s expression understood.   If that were the case, then the Yin God’s threat was indeed not great.   ”But—”   Ji Yang paused, then offered a reminder.   ”It’s best not to let other cultivators enter the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone. These Yin Gods feed on the souls of living beings. The more souls they devour, the stronger they become.   If the Yin God becomes powerful and feeds back to the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, the area of the forbidden zone will inevitably expand.   One day, it’s not impossible for this life forbidden zone to even devour the entire fairyland!”   ”In fact, as early as ancient times, this situation had occurred. The power of the Yellow Springs leaked, forming a forbidden zone. A Yin God escaped from the Yellow Springs and occupied that life forbidden zone as its lair.   Later, over the long years, the Yin God’s strength grew, causing the life forbidden zone to expand.   Finally, the life forbidden zone covered an area of the fairyland, and the Yin God devoured all the living beings in that area, becoming a peerless demon.”   ”Not only that, the Yin God used some unknown means to gather the power of the Yellow Springs and consolidate itself, allowing it to escape the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone and slaughter everyone.   This incident caused quite a stir at the time, destroying many factions.   Eventually, several ancient Dao Masters intervened and engaged the Yin God in battle, ultimately defeating its Yellow Springs power and drawing divine punishment, thus completely annihilating it.   This unrest was called the Yin God Great Tribulation, and it was the smallest of the ancient calamities, except for the Great Tribulation!”   Ji Yang’s words   made Shen Changqing look serious.   He had originally believed that the Yin God could not escape the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, so as long as it did not enter, it would not pose much of a threat.   But now it seems that he was a little naive.   Yin God Great Tribulation!   Shen Changqing had already memorized the name.   It could have required the intervention of several Dao Masters, and it took them only to defeat the power of the Yellow Springs and draw divine punishment to annihilate the Yin God.   This showed just how terrifying this Yin God truly was.

It could be said that

if a Yin God of this level appeared in the Divine Heaven Realm, then Shen Changqing’s only option would be to ask Jiuye to take action.

However, Shen Changqing was unsure whether Jiuye could deal with a Yin God of this level.

After all, the former was indeed the Lord of Chaos, but that Yin God had been able to force several Dao Zuns to attack, and yet they were still unable to kill it directly. This was enough to show that the Yin God’s power was terrifying, and not something that ordinary Dao Zuns could match.

This kind of existence.

Even whether the Lord of Chaos could kill it was still a question. If

Jiuye couldn’t deal with it, there was only one option left, and that was to run.   There was no other possibility

except running .   ”In other words, as long as other cultivators are restricted from entering the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, otherwise the Yin God will have the opportunity to devour and grow, then it will not be a big threat!”   Shen Changqing asked in a deep voice.   Ji Yang nodded. “Master is right. As long as we don’t give that Yin Spirit the chance to grow, the threat won’t be great.   Fortunately, the Yin Spirit that emerged from the Yellow Springs this time wasn’t very powerful. If it were a powerful one, it would be troublesome.   After all, there are many Yin Spirits in the Yellow Springs, and among the powerful ones, even Dao Zun would be drenched in blood!”   ”That’s easy,”   Shen Changqing exhaled. As long as the growth of the Yin Spirits is restricted, the problem won’t be a big deal.   After all, the dangers of this battle in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone are obvious to all.   No other cultivator, unless they’re not foolish, would dare to enter this forbidden zone.   Unless, perhaps,   a great opportunity arises within the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, perhaps attracting other cultivators.   After all, opportunities are the most alluring, often causing other cultivators to forget the dangers, or even disregard them entirely.   But at this point, there’s no chance of a great opportunity within the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   Of course,   nothing is absolute.   But with caution, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone won’t be a major problem.   Moreover—   when he reaches sufficient strength in the future, Shen Changqing will reenter the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone and slay that Yin God once and for all, eliminating any future trouble.   Shen Changqing believes that while he cannot currently defeat that Yin God, after breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm, it should be no problem.   Such a Yin God is, at most, a pseudo-Saint-level Yin God. How much greater could it possibly be?   Even if the opponent is difficult to slay, the difference in realms is enough to slay it.   Even if he can’t slay it just after reaching the Semi-Saint realm, that’s fine. If   he can’t slay it after one tribulation, then he can slay it after two, three, or even eight or nine.   Shen Changqing doesn’t believe a Yin God can grow faster than himself without sufficient nourishment.   Then,   Ji Yang departed.   Shen Changqing was left alone in front of the Immortal Mansion.   ”Yin God!”   A cold glint flashed in his eyes, then quickly faded into silence.   At that moment,   the communication jade talisman vibrated.   Shen Changqing’s mind entered it, and a moment later, Qingxu appeared.   ”Sect Master!”   ”What brings you here, Grand Elder?”   ”I seem to have seen records of something in the Yellow Springs restricted area in some ancient ruins. It’s a being called the Yin God.   It’s said to have come from the Yellow Springs and is extremely difficult to deal with—”   Qingxu arrived and immediately spoke, stating the matter of the Yin God.   He had expected Shen Changqing to be shocked, but he discovered that the Sect Master looked calm as usual, without a trace of shock at all.   ”Sect Master… I’m saying that this Yin God came from the Yellow Springs…”   Qingxu was worried that the other party hadn’t heard clearly, so he repeated it again.   Shen Changqing’s expression was calm. “I already know the origins of the things in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone. However, these Yin Spirits are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Without the protection of the Yellow Springs, they will incur divine punishment.   Therefore, at present, it seems that this Yin Spirit has no chance of leaving the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   Furthermore, Yin Spirits feed on spirits. As long as other cultivators are prevented from entering the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone and becoming their nourishment, the threat posed by these beings will be greatly reduced!”   Shen Changqing’s words left Qingxu stunned.   He had thought Shen Changqing was unfamiliar with things like Yin Spirits, but now it seemed that he had been showing off his knowledge.
