The Terror of the Soul Contract

Lu Chuan had long expected the Golden Eagle's reaction.

This fellow had always thought highly of himself, considering himself extraordinary.

Now, asking him to become a mount was naturally even harder for him to accept than death.

However, no matter how proud the Golden Feathered Eagle was, Lu Chuan had a way to subdue him.

"So, you're forcing This King to make a move?"

Lu Chuan looked down at the Golden Eagle, his tone turning somewhat cold.

"Lion King, you've gone too far!"

At his words, a strange gleam flashed in the Golden Eagle's golden eyes. He then opened his beak, firing a streak of golden sword light straight at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan smiled faintly. A soft purple glow emerged from his body and condensed into an Amethyst Shield, effortlessly blocking the golden sword light.

Seeing this, the Golden Feathered Eagle was greatly shocked. He knew that he was no longer Lu Chuan's match.

The next moment, the Golden Feathered Eagle spread his enormous wings and flew into the distance.

Rather than become Lu Chuan's mount, he chose to flee for his life.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."

Lu Chuan sneered at the sight.

Then, Lu Chuan's figure flashed. Stepping through the air, he vanished from the spot in an instant.

When Lu Chuan reappeared, he was already blocking the Golden Feathered Eagle's path.

Seeing Lu Chuan standing in his way, the Golden Feathered Eagle was horrified. This fellow's strength was actually this terrifying!

"Golden Eagle, you have only one path today: become This King's mount."

Lu Chuan gazed indifferently at the Golden Feathered Eagle before him, his tone calm.

"Lion King, don't push me!"

Knowing that he likely could not escape today, the Golden Feathered Eagle immediately prepared to fight for his life. A ferocious aura erupted from his body, and his golden feathers shone with dazzling light.

"Use your full strength. If This King doesn't beat you into submission, you won't willingly become This King's mount."

Dazzling purple light gradually emerged from Lu Chuan's body as he calmly watched the Golden Feathered Eagle before him.

"This King will fight you to the death!"

With a sharp cry, the Golden Feathered Eagle's golden radiance reached its peak. The next moment, countless streams of sword qi condensed around him and shot toward Lu Chuan like a sky full of golden sword rain, carrying a terrifying momentum.

"Trifling tricks."

Lu Chuan sneered and raised his right hand slightly. He then condensed an enormous Purple Light Pillar and blasted it directly toward the golden sword rain filling the sky.

The two powerful forces soon collided. Like a purple dragon, the Purple Light Pillar annihilated the golden sword lights everywhere it passed.

Without the slightest ability to resist, the Purple Light Pillar swept through everything in its path, directly destroying the Golden Feathered Eagle's full-powered attack before mercilessly slamming into his massive body beneath his horrified gaze.

Screech!

The Golden Feathered Eagle immediately let out a miserable cry. After suffering such a heavy blow, his enormous golden body fell from the sky.

Yet, worthy of being a flying magical beast, the Golden Feathered Eagle beat his wings again before reaching the ground and soared back into the air.

Just as the Golden Feathered Eagle was about to flee again, he suddenly felt a chill run down his back. Turning around, his eyes widened in terror.

Another purple beam was shooting toward him.

With no time to dodge, the purple beam struck the Golden Feathered Eagle directly amid his despairing gaze.

The next moment, the Golden Feathered Eagle discovered in horror that he could no longer use the power within his body.

"Amethyst Seal!"

A flash of realization soon appeared in the Golden Feathered Eagle's eyes. He had lived beside the Amethyst Winged Lion King for many years and naturally knew the latter's abilities. Feeling the state of his body, his heart filled with despair.

It seemed that he was doomed today!

"Golden Eagle, submit to This King at once."

Lu Chuan flashed forward and stepped directly onto the Golden Feathered Eagle's back, his voice cold.

"Lion King, even if This King dies, This King will never become your mount!"

Pinned beneath Lu Chuan's foot, humiliation flashed through the Golden Feathered Eagle's eyes as he cried out angrily.

"Since you want to die, This King will grant your wish."

Seeing how unruly the Golden Feathered Eagle remained, a chill flashed through Lu Chuan's eyes. He stomped down hard, and tremendous force struck the Golden Feathered Eagle, sending him plummeting from the air and crashing heavily into the ground.

Then, with a thought, Lu Chuan directly unleashed the Great Devouring Technique.

Terrifying black light surged from his palm once more, enveloping the Golden Feathered Eagle's massive body.

"What is this?"

The instant the black light enveloped him, the Golden Feathered Eagle felt as though his cultivation was about to be devoured. Terror filled his eyes.

"Wait!"

"Lion King, This... I am willing to submit!"

Faced with such a terrifying way to die, the Golden Feathered Eagle finally lost his nerve and hurriedly shouted at Lu Chuan.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately stopped using the Great Devouring Technique, and all the black light returned to his body.

Seeing the black light vanish from his body, the Golden Feathered Eagle finally breathed a sigh of relief. That feeling just now had been far too terrifying.

"Lion King, I am willing to become your mount!"

Though he felt utterly humiliated, the Golden Feathered Eagle ultimately lowered his proud head in order to live.

"This King rather admired that unruly look you had just now."

Lu Chuan's lips curved slightly as he looked at the Golden Feathered Eagle prostrating himself at his feet.

The next moment, a transparent scroll suddenly appeared in Lu Chuan's palm.

It was the Soul Contract!

Soul Contract: Swear upon one's soul, and it cannot be violated. Life and death are controlled by the host.

Although the Golden Feathered Eagle had submitted to him in order to survive, Lu Chuan did not trust him.

"Since you are willing to submit to This King, This King wants you to swear now that you will forever obey This King's will and never harbor a second thought!"

The Golden Feathered Eagle froze. He glanced at the Soul Contract in Lu Chuan's hand. Though he did not know what it was, he had an ominous feeling.

But to preserve his life, he could only comply. "I am willing to submit to Master, forever obey Master's will, and never harbor a second thought!"

As soon as the Golden Feathered Eagle finished speaking, the Soul Contract in Lu Chuan's palm trembled slightly before turning into a transparent beam of light and entering the Golden Feathered Eagle's mind.

Seeing this, a smile immediately appeared on Lu Chuan's lips.

With this Soul Contract, he would no longer need to worry about this fellow betraying him in the future.

"This..."

As the Soul Contract entered his body, the Golden Feathered Eagle's scalp immediately went numb.

He suddenly felt as though his soul had been shackled.

As long as Lu Chuan willed it, his soul would instantly be annihilated and vanish completely from this world.

Lu Chuan sensed it as well. At this moment, the Golden Feathered Eagle's life and death were entirely within his grasp.

As long as he willed it, the Soul Contract would take effect and instantly destroy the Golden Feathered Eagle's soul.

"What an overpowered effect..."

A trace of amazement appeared on Lu Chuan's face. This Soul Contract was truly terrifying.

He suddenly felt that using this Soul Contract on the Golden Feathered Eagle was somewhat wasteful.

He had to make good use of the remaining two.
