The Chaos Sword Formation, a set of Supreme Treasures he had designed and crafted himself, drew partial inspiration from the designs of the Nine Great Divine Weapons used by Spirit Readers. This first form, Heavenly Execution, appeared remarkably similar to the ninth form of the Yan God Weapon, Immortal Can Also Be Defeated.

Of course, it was merely a visual resemblance. As a high-tier Supreme Treasure set, the power of this form was in a completely different league from the ninth form of the Yan God Weapon.

One could tell from the name of the Yan God Weapon's ninth form, Immortal Can Also Be Defeated, that it could only rival an ordinary Immortal. In contrast, the first form of his Chaos Sword Formation, Heavenly Execution, possessed power that reached at least the King-level High tier, even when wielded by him at the World Lord Level.

"Puchi!"

Although Golden Cauldron King had tried his best to intercept it, he failed to block it completely, and the mysterious longsword instantly pierced through his divine body.

Naturally, Golden Cauldron King was a King-level Immortal after all. By pushing himself to the limit, he was currently operating at nearly the King-level High tier, so he could not be defeated by a single strike.

However, despite not being taken down in one hit, Golden Cauldron King's expression was incredibly grim.

From that single strike, he realized he had no hope of victory.

One strike, just one strike, and I've lost 5% of my divine body. Combined with the fact that I'm currently burning my divine body, at this rate, it won't be long before I'm beaten into a deep slumber. And when that happens, it means death.

Golden Cauldron King was filled with terror. He had never imagined that one day he would be rendered completely helpless by a World Lord Level fighter. He did not want to wait for death like this, yet he was utterly powerless.

He had even considered abandoning his God Kingdom to flee and cling to life, but... it was impossible!

The Chaos Sword Formation was not just an offensive Supreme Treasure; it was also a domain-type Supreme Treasure. The domain of the treasure had long since encompassed Golden Cauldron King. Even within his own God Kingdom, he could not escape the constraints of a high-tier domain-type Supreme Treasure.

He thought about begging for mercy, but looking at the killing intent in Tang Ping's eyes, he understood that they were now locked in a life-or-death struggle. Furthermore, he had learned the other party's secret.

Yes, no matter how foolish Golden Cauldron King might be, he no longer believed Tang Ping was using a Heavy Treasure. Although he did not possess one himself, he had seen other King-level Peak and King-level Limit fighters use Heavy Treasures.

While they were indeed much stronger than Pseudo-Heavy Treasures, they could never allow a World Lord Level fighter to suppress a King-level Immortal like him. Therefore, no matter how unbelievable the remaining possibility was, it had to be the truth.

That was—what the Xiaoyao World Lord was using was undoubtedly a legendary Supreme Treasure.

At Golden Cauldron King's level, although he had never seen a true Supreme Treasure before, he had heard the legends. It was said that even most big shots at the Venerable level did not possess Supreme Treasures.

A Supreme Treasure that even ordinary Venerables lacked had appeared on a World Lord Level fighter. Either the other party was a core genius from one of the Human Race's five giant powers, gifted the treasure by the higher-ups, or... he had crafted it himself.

The second possibility was actually more terrifying than the first, because if the other party could craft one Supreme Treasure, he could clearly craft a second, a third, or even more. Moreover, to protect this secret, the other party would absolutely never let him go.

While Golden Cauldron King sank into despair, Tang Ping naturally did not stop. The mysterious longsword shuttled through the void time and again, appearing around Golden Cauldron King, only to be blocked by the numb and desperate King or to pass directly through his body.

The attacks of a Supreme Treasure-grade weapon were incredibly fast. Even though some were blocked, Golden Cauldron King's divine body aura plummeted like a cliff.

"Sigh! My divine body has lost 50%. My strength is less than 10% of its peak. It's over! Hundreds of millions of years of cultivation and struggle, all for nothing." With over half his divine body gone, Golden Cauldron King gave up resisting.

"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!"

After Golden Cauldron King gave up, Tang Ping continued to manipulate the mysterious longsword to attack several more times. Only when the King's divine body dropped below 30% and his strength was less than 1% of its peak did Tang Ping finally stop, certain that there would be no more surprises.

It was not that Tang Ping had suddenly developed a saintly heart and wanted to spare Golden Cauldron King. He had suddenly realized that since Golden Cauldron King had previously tried to soul-enslave him, now that the situation had reversed, he could naturally enslave the King himself.

As for how a World Lord Level fighter could soul-enslave a King-level Immortal, that was a joke. His Heaven Rewards Diligence System provided critical rewards for improvements in soul and willpower. Over the past few years, his soul strength and willpower had become comparable to that of a Venerable. Soul-enslaving an entry-level King, especially one who was severely wounded, was incredibly easy.

It could be said that when Golden Cauldron King tried to soul-control him earlier, even without the protection of a soul-type Supreme Treasure, it would have been impossible to shake his soul and willpower.

As for soul-control techniques, Tang Ping had purchased a very good one while on Craftsman God Planet. Enslaving a King-level fighter was no problem at all.

Facing Tang Ping's soul enslavement, Golden Cauldron King did not resist.

Or rather, when he gave up resisting earlier, he had been waiting for this moment. For some, being soul-controlled was worse than death, but clearly, Golden Cauldron King was not that type of person; otherwise, he would have self-destructed earlier.

He felt that it was better to live in disgrace than to die. Even being soul-controlled was better than perishing. He was merely a barely-King-level Immortal and did not belong to the Human Race's five major powers; if he died, there was absolutely no chance of being resurrected.

Being soul-controlled by a genius World Lord of the same Human Race was well within Golden Cauldron King's psychological acceptance.

Since Golden Cauldron King did not resist, the soul-enslavement technique proceeded very smoothly.

"Golden Cauldron greets Master." Golden Cauldron King knelt submissively and bowed to Tang Ping.

"Mm, get up. Take these treasures to restore your divine body and recover as quickly as possible." For Golden Cauldron King, who had become his slave, Tang Ping naturally did not need to settle scores. Besides, he hadn't suffered any losses; on the contrary, he had gained a King-level slave. Casually tossing some treasures for divine body recovery to Golden Cauldron King, Tang Ping sat cross-legged on the ground and began to reflect on the gains and losses of this battle.

"Overall, this battle didn't really require much skill; it was a complete steamroll. It's just that because I've never had experience fighting an Immortal-level opponent before, my assessment of my own strength was inaccurate, leading to some errors in judgment."

"Fortunately, the gap in strength was enough that it didn't affect the final outcome. I need to go out and fight more in the future to avoid having a vague understanding of my own capabilities. After all, I won't be able to steamroll my opponents every single time."
