Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. So far, he had deified three people: Nong Yi, Flowing Cloud, and Mu Jun. None of the three could compare to Xia Shenji, who was an absolute Ancestor. He had endured the slash unleashed by the Death God's left arm in concert with Gou Lian after they had drained all the death energy from Kunze. If his clone hadn't gravely wounded itself in their previous battle, Lu Yin would have had to withstand Xia Shenji's peak strike, and that would have been no easy feat.
Xia Shenji could be considered on the level of the Nine Mountains Eight Seas, surpassing the three Ancestors Lu Yin had deified before.
To put it bluntly, the three Ancestors might not even be able to defeat Xia Shenji if they joined forces.
Deifying Xia Shenji would be a bit risky. If Lu Yin wasn't careful, he might suffer a backlash, just as he had when deifying Senior Brother Mu Xie.
But he was far stronger than he had been back then. He should be able to succeed.
Deification had nothing to do with the condition of the person being deified. Even if Xia Shenji was gravely wounded, or on the brink of death, that wouldn't increase the odds. Success depended on the subject's willingness and the deifier's strength.
Lu Yin watched intently as the shadow slowly entered the Divine General Record and was imprinted upon it. Only then did he finally relax. He had succeeded.
Elder Chan smiled. They had succeeded. With Xia Shenji's help, Lu Yin wouldn't be so helpless when facing an enemy, even someone like Bai Wangyuan or Wang Fan. Xia Shenji was powerful.
Xia Shenji himself also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the deification succeeded, Lu Yin would surely make use of
