"Slash!"
A strong killing intent surged in Li Youming's eyes.
From all directions, five massive golden blades appeared, and a terrifying bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!
This time, after receiving the blessing, not only did the 'Minor Cloud and Mist Body Protection Technique' transform into the 'Cloud Mist Technique,' but he also learned another technique.
Minor Sky Thunder Technique!
Boom—!
The giant black snake was struck by the lightning. Its body stiffened and was then sliced into six segments by the five massive golden blades!
Icy snake blood splattered down.
The segments of the snake's corpse slammed onto the cloud mist, rising and falling, completely devoid of life.
In its originally cold and ferocious vertical pupils, only despair and deathly silence remained.
The land God of the Obedient Ridge River was killed by Li Youming!
In Azure Wood Town, which was only about twenty-five meters away—
All the townspeople who witnessed this scene were wide-mouthed, their expressions filled with terror.
What did they just see?
...The... The land God...
Was sliced into five or six pieces!
At this moment, they all felt as if they were dreaming.
Otherwise—
How could they witness such an unbelievable scene?
That was the land God!
A great demon who had come to Azure Wood Town sixty or seventy years ago and could never be resisted by the Human Clan!
The land God that even crying children were not dared to be threatened with.
Because this land God had eaten too many people from their Azure Wood Town over the past sixty or seventy years!
"Ho...how could this be..."
"The land God was killed..."
"How could these lowly Human Clan... kill the land God..."
The Shaman's face was ashen, and she slumped onto the ground, muttering in disbelief.
From all directions—
Townspeople suddenly looked over with fierce hatred.
"Beat this old hag to death!"
With a furious roar, dozens and hundreds of people instantly rushed forward, fiercely attacking the Shaman!
Although the Shaman was also a mid-stage Body Refinement Realm martial artist of high rank 1, among the rushing townspeople, there were also martial artists. They knocked her down with a few punches and kicks, and then a large number of common people swarmed forward, beating her to death!

In the Wei Family—
"What did you say?"
"The land God was killed?"
The Wei Family Clan Leader looked at the clan member who came to report, his face filled with excitement, and said in disbelief.
"Yes!"
"Temple Keeper Li Youming used golden blades to kill the land God!"
"The land God's body was broken into five or six pieces. They're lying outside the town!"
The clan member said excitedly.
"Really... really killed?"
The Wei Family Clan Leader's eyes instantly lit up. He looked at Wei Wei excitedly:
"The Temple Keeper of Four Seas Village is really that powerful, he actually killed the demon land God!"
Wei Wei's face was full of pride, hands on his hips:
"Of course!"
"Temple Keeper is a newly appointed God, acting on behalf of Venerable God in the mortal world!"
He was also incredibly excited in his heart.
Temple Keeper is indeed powerful!
"Could it be that in this world—"
"There really are Gods?"
The Wei Family Clan Leader muttered to himself. He quickly rushed out of the Wei Family and ran towards the Ridge River.
---
In the town.
A large number of townspeople heard the reports from their neighbors. At first, they were in disbelief, then became incredibly excited.
A large crowd immediately ran towards Ridge River.
They wanted to see the demon land God's body with their own eyes.
Even more people were in tears, kneeling on the ground and paying respects to their relatives who had been eaten in the past, telling them this great news.

In the Divine Domain—
Li Yue glanced at the personal task.
It showed that a third-rank demon had been killed.
"Li Youming's actions are not slow."
A smile appeared on his face.
He had only issued the divine edict yesterday, and today he had already achieved success in slaying demons.
He was quite satisfied with the Temple Keeper he had chosen.
He had decisiveness and courage.
His gaze looked outside the Divine Domain.
Quite a few Human Clan people from the Land of Demons had already been brought over.
"Last night, Li Youming went to the Land of Demons and killed all the demons there."
"Today, the hunting team went to the Land of Demons to pick up people, while he himself went to kill the third-rank demon."
"The population of Four Seas Village is growing."
"After the second Great Ritual, Four Seas Village will be upgraded from a village to a town."
"And I need to be promoted from high rank 9 to low rank 8 God Realm..."
Li Yue's eyes flickered.
The personal information showed that it required consuming fifteen thousand God Power.
But in reality—
To be promoted to low rank 8 God Realm, there was also a hidden condition.
"Once I reach low rank 8 God Realm, I will no longer be the land deity of a village."
"But the earth deity of a town."
"To become the earth deity of a town, Four Seas Village needs to first become Four Seas Town."
His eyes sparkled.
His Land God Temple was located in Four Seas Village.
Four Seas Village was his foundation.
Only when Four Seas Village became Four Seas Town could he truly be promoted to low rank 8 and become the land deity of a town!
Of course—
Saying these things was still too early.
After all, fifteen thousand God Power was a huge threshold.
He didn't have much God Power right now.
Therefore—
He was greatly looking forward to the second Great Ritual.
He hoped that the offerings, after being amplified a hundred times, would allow him to exchange for enough God Power to be promoted to low rank 8!
"It's a pity that the Blue Star Gods are not wealthy right now."
"Third-rank Netherworld Soldier Artifacts will definitely not be easy to sell..."
He shook his head.
There were not many high rank 9 land deities yet.
The cost of a third-rank Netherworld Soldier Artifact was as high as fifty God Power.
He would have to sell each one for at least a hundred God Power, right?
At this stage—
Who could afford to spend a hundred God Power to buy a Netherworld Soldier Artifact?
Not to mention those high rank 9 Gods.
Even he—
Was reluctant.
Just then, he suddenly felt an abnormality somewhere in his Jurisdiction.
"Hmm?"
His gaze immediately looked over.
It was on the side of the mountain path leading from Four Seas Village to Azure Wood Town.
Originally, it was just a patch of bushes, not noticeable.
But now—
A Paper Shop had appeared there.
In front of the Paper Shop, there were seven paper figures with eerie smiles at the corners of their mouths and their faces covered in blush.
The black door was open, and sounds of laughter and joy seemed to emanate from within.
But even as a high rank 9 land deity, the master of this Jurisdiction, he couldn't clearly see the scene inside the Paper Shop.
"Evil Being..."
Li Yue's eyes immediately narrowed.
He hadn't even noticed how this Paper Shop had appeared within his Jurisdiction.
Although that place was on the edge of his Jurisdiction, it was still completely within it!
Jurisdiction—
It was the area radiated by his Godly Path Law.
Now, a Paper Shop could appear within his Jurisdiction without him even noticing.
"It actually dispersed the radiating Godly Path Law power..."
"Is this an Evil Being?"
"How does it feel..."
Li Yue frowned.
Of course—
He could sense that the strength of this Paper Shop was not high, at most at the fourth rank level.
But it was extremely strange, subtly containing a trace of the power of law!
And it was similar to the Godly Path Law!
Whoosh—
He took a step out of the Divine Domain and stood outside this Paper Shop.
At this moment—
His surroundings instantly changed.
It was no longer a mountain path, but a flat area filled with massive scattered rocks.
In front of the large scattered rocks, the ink-black Paper Shop emitted dense black energy, covering the sky and the earth.
A Little Girl wearing a pink and white bellyband, with a face as pale as a corpse and holding a rattle, walked out from within.
The Little Girl tilted her head and smiled sweetly:
"Elder Brother, let's play hide-and-seek."
"If A Yin finds Elder Brother, Elder Brother will have to stay here with A Yin forever..."
