As Jiang Xiu had guessed, the spiritual energy of Earth had withered, and it became difficult to attain Godhood by cultivating the body using spiritual energy. Hence, it was better to grow through achievements and virtue. And the North Emperor signified the supernatural beings like ghosts; thus the Evil God has cultivated to such a path of Evil Divinity.

In other words, this Evil God would no only kill Xiao Xuetong, he would also seize her soul, and this would add a sin. The more souls he took, the more his power grew. And this North Emperor Godhood Halo would similarly get stronger.

The amount of divine faith from Xiao Xuetong's fans was also quite significant.

"This person is Ming Lun.. The Heavenly Dao is sealed, and it's hard to advance the Godhood. So I had no choice but to give up the corporeal body and attain Yin Divinity." Ming Lun sighed, "I'm really ignorant. I doubted whether this word really had Yang Divinity cultivators."

"I've never heard of someone in the past millennium but finally seen it today."

"Alas, it's too late!"

His voice was filled with remorse.

Yin Gods couldn't accept restraints and were Evil Gods who lived in depravity and used sacrifices. They didn't follow the Orthodox path and strayed from it. They were similar to illusionary images, just like ghosts. To simplify it, they were souls, and if we break it down to even simpler words, momentary existences.

There was no doubt they were a lower grade existence.

Although Jiang Xiu still hadn't become a genuine God, he was walking the path of Yang Divinity. If he becomes a God, he would also separate from his physical body and create an all-new Yang God Body.

On the Immortal Martial Continent, there was a controversy between which among the Yin and Yang God were stronger. The debate had come to an end due to an incident.

According to the legends, during the early stages of the Immortal Martial Continent, there existed two brothers. One of them cultivated Yin Divinity and the other Yang Divinity. The day they had finally became Gods was the day Jasper blossoms bloomed in the Imperial Capital. Commonfolk weren't allowed to see it. As both of them had become Gods, they said, "Let's go watch the Jasper blossoms bloom in the Imperial Palace." Thereupon, they sat in meditation, drinking tea while looking at the Jasper blossoms bloom. After their primal souls returned, both of them smiled, speaking in unison, "Let's fetch a blossom." The Yin God brushed his sleeve to the side, and there was no flower, while when the Yang God brushed his sleeve aside, there was a flower.

The Immortal Martial Continent continued to develop crazily after that and history served as the proof. Yin Divinity was the path of destruction and wasn't worth it was it was difficult to reach high levels in it. Due to this, most of the Divinity Cultivators on the Immortal Martial Continent followed the path of Yang Divinity, and the Yin Divinity Gods were left helpless.

From the viewpoint of the Heavenly Court of Fortune in Immortal Martial Continent, Yin Gods weren't qualified to obtain a Godhood.

To say it bluntly, if a person cultivated Yin Divinity, his future was done for.

There were no prospects at all.

In the past, Ming Lun had struggled hard to cultivate by following the instructions of the ancient documents. It was written that there was Yin Divinity and Yang Divinity, so he naturally chose Yang Divinity, but the path was quite arduous. It was hard to make progress, let alone all the sufferings he had to go through. After seeing that his companions too hadn't succeeded with Yang Divinity, he doubted whether Yang Gods really existed, so he finally chose to cultivate Yin Divinity.

But now, after seeing Jiang Xiu casually destroy the Yin Snake he had to spend a hundred years to raise, he was really dejected. Only, he still laughed heartily, "There's no need end to the path of Yang Divinity, it's neverending."

"There's no need for you to choose a path with a dead end. Why don't you cultivate Yin Divinity like me?"

Jiang Xiu sneered, "Ming Lun, the path to Yang Divinity might be a closed dead end to you, but it's a vast and free Grand Dao to this Deity. It's just a matter of time for this Deity to become a Yang God, it would take one or two years at most. As for Yin Divinity, just hearing about it makes me feel offended. It's only a deformed form of divinity. Though they are called Yin Gods, there's no difference between them and ghosts."

There was a burden of the corporeal body in Divinity Cultivation as the spiritual energy on Earth had withered. It was possible to rely on external means like martial arts and heavenly treasures to make headway, but they weren't enough to reach the final stages. In the higher realms, martial arts and heavenly treasures weren't of any use.

"No. You aren't even a ghost. It would be right to call you a monster!"

In Jiang Xiu's viewpoint, the man ahead of him of him didn't have a human appearance. He had only a single eye and a scaled body while his body exuded a sinister aura, which seemed to be his real avatar.

He had also undergone variation like the Wang family's Demigod and ended up in such a way.

The more Jiang Xiu talked, the uglier Ming Lun's face became.

"No has dared to vilify this Deity ever."

"Seeing that you are young and inexperienced, if only you kneel down and offer sacrificial souls to this Deity, I'll pardon your life."

In his view, Jiang Xiu was just an unaccomplished Demigod.

A Demigod was nothing but a joke in front of God.

Jiang Xiu sneered back at him, "It's a pity, this Deity wants you millennium cultivation. Even if you kneel down and acknowledge to serve me, I'll still devour your power."

"You're quite arrogant, brat!"

"Even Heavenly Dao Palace's Zuo Wentian, Bodhi Gene's Li Bodhi and Medicine King Valley's Ninth Immortal Lin don't dare to speak to me in such a way."

"You're courting death!"

A green light flashed through Ming Lin's eye. His gray hair started to float while his voice turned ghastly, seeming similar to a beast's howling.

The people outside the woods turned pale.

An aura burst forth along with his scream, causing an evil wind to engulf the woods. Even the moonlight was obstructed, and the woods seem to have transformed into an evil spirit with howls resounding all around.

"This Deity shall make you understand what's the power of a God."

"North Emperor's Godhood Halo!"

In an instant, endless black fog rushed out like a flood. It was a strange power which seemed to possess its own consciousness and eroded everything, the mind and body, leaving nothing in its wake.

"Hmm? This is.."

Jiang Xiu was shocked. This Godhood Halo was similar to the God's Domain he knew of.

"DIE!"

BOOM!

A huge black claw lunged at Jiang Xiu's chest with the intentions of piercing through it. Black scales covered that claw, and its fingers were unusually long, longer than a foot when compared to human feet. They also had fingernails 10 cm long. It was quite a scary appearance.

The claw's speed was quick and possessed ample power to pierce through the steel plates of an armored car.

"Hah!"

Jiang Xiu snorted. The man opposite to him wasn't a genuine God. He only believed that he had become a God. Ultimately, he just had a Godhood Halo. 5000 sins for imprisonment, 6000 sins to enter Hell, 10,000 sins to become a Yin God, such was the way.

He was too far away.

In fact, the reason he possessed such strength was due to the divine faith he had gathered through Xiao Xuetong. This superstar had too many fans, and since there was a concert today, that power was at its peak.

Bzzztt!

Jiang Xiu pointed his finger towards the claw. A golden light flickered on his finger. Before the two powers could even collide, a twisting sound as if two magnetic fields had struck each other.

Yin Divinity cultivators couldn't win over Yang Divinity cultivators unless they reached the Divine Realm. Before that, they were completely vulnerable.

Spurt!

In a split moment, just like a punctured tire, a huge gaping hole was left behind on the claw as Jiang Xiu's finger had pierced through it. In the end, Jiang Xiu's divine energy had won the battle.

"Hmm?"

Ming Lun's expression changed while he retreated back. He looked at his claw with disbelief. This move was his strongest magic and also the most powerful place of his Yin God Body.

"H-How can this be?"

But Ming Lun quickly recovered his calm, "Looks like you indeed have a little skill. No wonder you came to make trouble. Only.." His hand grabbed the black smoke and scattered it, which healed the hole on his palm. "In the end, you're just a Demigod, not a God. You'll never understand the fearsomeness of a God."

"No power in this world can kill me!"

"I can live forever with my North Emperor Godhood Halo."

..

At the police cordon outside the woods.

"What's happening inside? It's been a long time since Mr. Jiang went inside. Nothing would happen, right?" Wu Rong asked anxiously.

"There was some noise a moment ago, but nothing after that."

Shaman Zhang explained, "I know it. The Yin Snake was raised and controlled by someone. If I'm not wrong, that person is inside. A monster from 100 years ago who even the three generations of my ancestors couldn't handle, there's no way that Mr. Jiang can handle it."

"I fear he's already a pile of dried up bones by now."

"Quick, look over there.."

Everyone followed the voice and looked towards that direction. A giant snake's image had appeared in the sky over the woods.

"Looks like I was right. That Mr. Jiang has been defeated already."

Shaman Zhang shook his head while sighing, "This Shaman had already advised him not to show off, but he didn't listen. See now, he has lost his life."

Gu Dezhi pursed his brows. If Jiang Luoxia couldn't handle an insignificant monster, there was no need for the Gu family to rope him in.

BOOM!

A silhouette flew out from within the woods, knocking a dozen trees down in its wake. It fell to the ground then slid back a few metres.

"Hmm?"historical

"What's happening?"

Jiang Xiu slowly came walked out of the woods at this moment while shaking his head, "You think you're quite strong?"
