Lan Xiaoni wasn't willing to give up, and she said, "But doesn't the Divine Phoenix Maiden also need to guard Yue Tong City? So why is she able to join the God Slaying Team?"
"This..." An Lin blinked upon hearing this question. Lan Xiaoni had a point.
After a brief hesitation, An Lin still couldn't find any reason to refuse her request. Thus, he had no option but to grudgingly give in, saying, "Fine. But even though you've joined the team, your current task is still to lead the West Sea Alliance to guard Yue Tong City."
"Haha, rest assured Big Boss An Lin, leave it to me!" Lan Xiaoni patted her voluptuous chest with a triumphant expression.
Although she couldn't carry out the mission with them, joining the team still gave her a sense of belonging. Moreover, it also allowed her to feel closer to Big Boss An Lin. This was the reason why she was so happy.
An Lin was the leader of the God Slaying Team, while Xu Xiaolan was the second in command. The remaining members included Yun Mengying, the Battling Buddha, Michael, Demon Emperor Si Yu, Demon Lord Ling Gu, and Lan Xiaoni.
The reason for forming this team was to launch a surprise attack and directly assassinate a Supreme Heavenly God!
Right now, the two sides were locked in a stand-off.
Neither side was launching an assault.
However, in terms of power alone, both sides were already essentially equal. After a string of crushing victories, the Heaven Crushing United Army had already transformed their initially overwhelming disadvantage into a neutral situation. This was definitely something of a miracle.
However, even though they had overcome such a disadvantage, and even though they possessed such incredible morale and soaring battle intent, the Heaven Crushing United Army still didn't dare to act recklessly and rashly launch an attack. This was because, in such a high-level battle, a single mistake might cause the tables to turn again and perhaps even lead to a crushing defeat.
The Supreme Heavenly Gods also knew that the Heaven Crushing United Army wouldn't dare to launch an attack. After all, they could only unleash their full power with the help of the Heaven Vanquishing Formation in Yue Tong City.
However, it was under such conditions—where even the Heavenly Gods believed that they wouldn't attack—that they decided to carry out this assassination mission!
Of course, there was an even more important reason. The Heavenly Sea God, who they hadn't contacted for a long time, had secretly called An Lin and leaked some information to him.
The Heavenly Light Goddess would be at her weakest while undergoing her transformation. As such, this would be the best chance to attack her. Moreover, she wouldn't be able to activate her True Form of Dao during her transformations, as doing so would lead to a backlash that would immediately kill her.
In other words, attacking the Heavenly Light Goddess now would come with the highest chance of success.
An Lin felt that this made sense, so he immediately formed the God Slaying Team. He had decided to assassinate the Heavenly Life Goddess!
Yes, An Lin had decided to kill the Heavenly Life Goddess!
This was the Heavenly Goddess who had forced him to sacrifice one-fifth of his life before.
Of course, he hadn't decided to target her for the sake of revenge. Instead, there were other reasons behind his decision.
...
Night fell.
The sky was covered in dark clouds, and there was no moon or stars to be seen.
The land was shrouded in darkness, and only Yue Tong City remained ablaze with lights, like a dazzling pearl on a dark land. This was a bustling and flourishing city.
Several figures hid under the cover of darkness as they started to slowly creep toward the White Nectar Sea.
"Sect Leader An Lin, is it really okay for us to charge over just like this?" Michael asked anxiously.
The Battling Buddha chuckled in a mocking tone and said, "Heh, as the most powerful being of the Light Wing Clan, do you not feel ashamed of your cowardice? We'll definitely be safe if we follow Brother An Lin's orders. In any case, do you think he'll screw us over?"
Of the members of the team, Sun Wukong definitely held the most trust in An Lin.
This was a trait of his personality. He would unconditionally trust those that he acknowledged.
"M-hm... There are some things that I can't explain to everyone right now. I'm afraid that the Heavenly Dao might detect something if I explain now. After all, the Heavenly Dao is everywhere, and the more people that know, the more clearly it can detect something...
"Believe me, I can definitely lead everyone to glorious victory again!"
If it were someone else who had said this, the others would have definitely sniggered in disdain. However, these words had been spoken by An Lin, so they all chose to believe him unconditionally, even though they were all the most powerful beings of their tribes or territories. They believed that An Lin could truly lead them to another miraculous victory.
In fact, Demon Lord Ling Gu had already started to daydream about how many eggs he could eat after An Lin led them to victory...
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Yun Mengying, Michael, Demon Lord Ling Gu, Demon Emperor Si Yu, the Battling Buddha, and Lan Xiaoni... These were the members of the God Slaying Team.
They were about to perform another miracle!
An expanse of a pure white sea started to appear before them.
Within this sea, there stood a colossal tree that towered into the sky.
An Lin knew that this wasn't the World Tree. Instead, it was merely a replacement that the Heavenly Life Goddess had created for the World Tree. It didn't possess the trait of eternity, nor did it possess the ability to nurture life or miracles. This was nothing more than a symbol of the Heavenly Human Tribe's main encampment.
Hundreds of millions of members of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army resided on this divine tree.
At this moment, there were hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Human Tribe soldiers soaring through the sky as they patrolled the space within a radius of several thousand kilometers of the divine tree. Moreover, each patrol team was personally led by a Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General.
However, none of them detected the approach of An Lin and the others.
"Continue channeling the Void Body Mantra. Don't let your guards down." As he said this, An Lin enveloped everyone in a thin layer of darkness. This was their second layer of concealment. Even Supreme Heavenly Gods wouldn't be able to detect their presence unless they used their surveillance techniques.
An Lin and the others slowly neared the divine tree.
After a moment, An Lin's eyes suddenly became bright and clear as a peculiar wave spread throughout heaven and earth and observed everything in the surroundings.
Divine Simulation Technique!
This was the spell technique that would allow An Lin to best observe the situation of the surrounding heaven and earth.
In fact, this technique was nothing more than a branch technique of the Heavenly Darkness Power.
An Lin had only learned of this secret after obtaining the complete Divine Dao of Darkness.
Similarly, his Divine Might Technique was simply the unleashing of his unique might as a Supreme Heavenly God.
Meanwhile, his Divine Inspection Technique involved using the all-knowing nature of the Heavenly Dao to perceive and judge an item.
The Divine Plunder Technique utilized the engulfing ability of the Divine Dao of Darkness.
As for the enhancement technique, the Origin Energy of the Netherworld, this had involved using a wisp of his power of darkness in advance to do battle.
The Dark Immortal Transformation was an enhancement technique that channeled the Divine Dao of Darkness to its limits.
Of course, the Divine Dao of Darkness used by this high-rank mystic technique was extremely profound and even possessed an indistinct sense of otherworldliness. Even looking back at it now, An Lin still found this mystic technique to be extremely profound and astounding.
As for the Lightning Manipulation Technique or whatnot, the reason that he had been able to control divine lightning in apparent defiance of the natural order was ultimately still because of his Heavenly Darkness Power. In essence, he had been using his Heavenly Darkness Power to forcefully manipulate the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, the function of the system was seemingly to awaken the Heavenly Darkness Power in his body earlier.
Indeed, what he had initially viewed as impressive and heaven-defying techniques gifted to him by the system were actually all part of his own innate power. The true function of the system was most likely to activate his power and perhaps screw him over at the same time...
Sigh, the more I think about it, the more sinister I find it to be.
An Lin shook his head to rid himself of these complicated thoughts.
Right now, he was already fully aware of his surroundings thanks to the Divine Simulation Technique.
As expected, there are only two Supreme Heavenly Gods on the divine tree!
A look of delight gradually spread across An Lin's face.
