The strong never feared death!
But when death could be avoided, who would choose to die?
More than anyone else, the strong wished to live long lives. The stronger they were, the more so. Otherwise, why would they frantically increase their strength?
They wanted to live longer!
Now that the path to immortality had been severed, Supreme Experts stood at the peak of the Inner Universe.
The Life source Wang Xian had bestowed upon them gave these Supreme Experts hope of survival. Since they could live, they naturally would not choose death.
Thus, every Supreme Expert looked at Wang Xian with anticipation, urgency, desire, even greed and menace.
Ignoring their gazes, Wang Xian said calmly, "Acknowledge me as your master, and I'll save you!"
"Alright!"
Poison Oblivion was the first to agree. He rose to his feet with difficulty and trembled as he made his way before Wang Xian.
Before Wang Xian could say anything, Poison Oblivion immediately made a Great Dao Oath. "Great Dao above, today I, Poison Oblivion, acknowledge the person before me as my master. In every word and deed, every action and movement, I shall follow his will. Should I violate this oath, my body shall fall into Nine Nether Hell, my soul shall enter the Abyss of Weak Water, and the Great Dao shall bear witness!"
As soon as Poison Oblivion's voice fell, a vast ripple descended. Then, a faint, indistinct voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"Oath formed!"
"Master, can you save me now?"
Poison Oblivion looked at Wang Xian with eager longing written all over his face.
"No!"
Wang Xian shook his head decisively.
Upon hearing Wang Xian's refusal, Poison Oblivion's expression changed instantly. He roared, "Why? I've already acknowledged you as my master!"
"You've acknowledged me as your master? On what basis?
