I Pledge My Allegiance to You, My Liege!

"No!"

Amid Black Dragon Supreme's terrified roar, the thousand-foot Sovereign Dharma Body was cleaved in two by a heaven-shaking sword strike.

He had already burned his blood essence, leaving him in terrible condition.

Now that his Sovereign Dharma Body had been destroyed, he immediately suffered a dreadful backlash.

In an instant, his aura became utterly weak.

He could not even tear open space anymore!

Clad in black robes, Black Dragon Supreme slumped to the ground in utter disarray.

After dominating the Northern Heavens Continent for so many years, how could he have imagined that he would one day be reduced to this state?

A jet-black lightning sword in Zhao Chen's hand pointed at Black Dragon Supreme's glabella from close range.

If he wished, he could pierce it at once and end Black Dragon Supreme's life!

"Kill me!"

Black Dragon Supreme closed his eyes and gave up struggling.

The victor became king and the loser became bandit. That was all there was to it.

As for the crazed Yellow Dragon Sovereign, seeing Black Dragon Supreme's wretched and helpless state restored some clarity to his mind.

"Palace Master, I'll go to hell with you!"

Yellow Dragon Sovereign threw back his head and roared, immediately preparing to self-destruct his Sovereign Sea.

Even if he could not injure this Thunder Emperor, he would still make him pay dearly!

However, there was no way his plan could succeed.

"Insolence!"

A cool, authoritative voice rang out from nowhere.

A terrifying divine beast's pressure instantly suppressed Yellow Dragon Sovereign.

As space warped, an enormous black bird that blotted out the sky appeared before them.

Boundless purple Undying Fire burned wildly, turning the entire underground world into a sea of flames.

Black Dragon Supreme opened his eyes and looked toward the newcomer.

His heart skipped a beat. Was that the divine beast Nine Netherworld Dark Bird from the Heavenly Ranking of the Myriad Beast Record!?

Standing upon her back was a silver-haired girl in a black dress, holding a jet-black longsword.

She was the culprit who had successively killed Demon Dragon Son and Mo Xingtian!

"A Sixth-grade Supreme Realm divine beast, the Nine Netherworld Dark Bird, and the mysterious Thunder Emperor, who could fight six opponents alone and crush us Dragon Demon Palace Supreme Realm experts."

Black Dragon Supreme was filled with bitterness. Only now did he realize what kind of terrifying calamity their actions within the Western Extremity Hall's territory had brought upon the Dragon Demon Palace.

If they had provoked the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, they could still rely on their own strength to contend with it.

They could even gain a slight upper hand.

Enough to make the many Supreme Realm forces of the Northern Heavens Continent deeply wary of them.

But after provoking this Silver-haired Girl, they had instantly found themselves facing the disastrous outcome of total annihilation.

Black Dragon Supreme regretted it.

The Great Thousand World was simply too vast. There were countless forces stronger than the Dragon Demon Palace.

He truly had not expected to run into such a powerful force so soon afterward.

Had he known earlier, he definitely would not have stirred up trouble.

Originally, facing the Thunder Emperor, Black Dragon Supreme had only one path: death.

But now, his sliver of hope for survival had arrived!

Under Yellow Dragon Sovereign's incredulous gaze, Black Dragon Supreme immediately dropped to both knees before the Silver-haired Girl atop Nine Netherworld Dark Bird and bowed his head in submission.

"I, Black Dragon, am willing to submit to you, my liege!"

Even Zhao Chen was surprised by this scene.

As expected of the ruthless man who had led the Dragon Demon Palace to dominance over the Northern Heavens Continent.

If not for stubbornly going to war with the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, as well as the internal strife caused by White Dragon Supreme betraying the Dragon Demon Palace with the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, perhaps his achievements would not have ended here.

Zhao Chen looked toward Luo Li. What would she do?

If he wanted to kill Black Dragon Supreme, he could do so with a casual wave of his hand.

However, if Black Dragon Supreme truly submitted and was sufficiently loyal,

then having a veteran peak Fifth-grade Supreme Realm fighter would not be a bad thing for Luo Li, who wished to contend for dominance across the Northern Heavens Continent under the name of Luo God City.

Especially since those Supreme Realm forces that had originally feared the Dragon Demon Palace would surely feel inclined to surrender upon seeing that even Black Dragon Supreme had submitted.

As the saying went, victory without shedding blood.

"How can you make me believe you will not betray me?"

Luo Li looked down at Black Dragon Supreme, her expression cold and carrying a trace of authority.

She was already preparing in advance to take power within her clan.

Traitors were despised.

Yet they were also impossible to guard against.

Relying on someone's verbal loyalty while they betrayed you behind your back

could bring about a terrifying calamity at any moment and plant no small hidden danger!

"I am willing to surrender a wisp of my Divine Soul and form a Servant Contract!"

Previously, Black Dragon Supreme could still have sought a swift death for himself, but now he had changed his mind.

Since this Silver-haired Girl wished to dominate the Northern Heavens Continent, what difference was there between that and the Dragon Demon Palace ruling it once more?

The only difference was that he would no longer be the Palace Master and would have a superior above him.

Yet the changes this could bring would be immense.

Because she would certainly not limit herself to the Northern Heavens Continent. She would develop far further.

Developing further meant better resources, which he might have the opportunity to use.

Breaking through to a higher realm would clearly only be a matter of time.

Compared with before, it would undoubtedly be far better!

"If I harbor even the slightest ill intent toward my liege, may I be struck dead by five bolts of lightning on the spot!"

Seeing that Luo Li was somewhat moved, Black Dragon Supreme raised his hand and swore directly.

Luo Li nodded slightly at this. With the Servant Contract, he would never be able to betray her for the rest of his life.

Even a Heavenly Sovereign had no right to silently dissolve the contract.

Luo Li was no stranger to Servant Contracts.

She reached out and grabbed the wisp of Divine Soul that Black Dragon Supreme had voluntarily offered, and it landed in her palm.

It was a miniature black dragon, like the essence soul of a spirit beast.

It seemed that crushing it would allow her to severely wound Black Dragon Supreme on the spot, or even kill him outright.

A Six-pointed Star Array emerged, and she cast it into the formation.

After the light receded and entered Black Dragon Supreme's body, it formed a winding river-shaped mark upon his glabella.

"From this day onward, you are my, Luo Li's, servant."

With but a thought from Luo Li, Black Dragon Supreme could die on the spot.

She could sense his thoughts of good and evil, so she was not worried that he might betray her.

"Thank you, my liege!"

Black Dragon Supreme practically slid forward on his knees and prostrated himself in worship.

Zhao Chen's mouth twitched. This guy had surrendered a little too quickly, had he not?

Had he known this would happen, perhaps he should not have killed the other Supremes?

Of the Dragon Demon Palace's six Supremes, only Black Dragon Supreme and Yellow Dragon Sovereign remained.

It did seem somewhat regrettable that the others had died.

"Yellow Dragon, stop pretending."

Then Black Dragon Supreme looked toward the suppressed Yellow Dragon Sovereign and said solemnly:

"Your Divine Soul far surpasses those of Supremes at the same level. You would not go mad so easily. If you want to kill your way back, you must first stay alive."

He and White Dragon Supreme, who had betrayed the Dragon Demon Palace, shared the same goal.

Although there had been irreconcilable differences in their methods, leading them to fight fiercely and resulting in White Dragon Supreme's death,

their paths ultimately led to the same destination. Whoever became powerful would choose to return home and take revenge upon their enemies!

At present, only the two of them remained among the survivors who had fled from their homeland to the Great Thousand World.

No matter what, neither of them could die again.

Otherwise, they would never be able to return to their former homeland.

And those hateful enemies would continue doing whatever they pleased in their homeland!

Nor would anyone be able to return and save the compatriots who might still be barely clinging to life, humbly struggling to survive!

Upon hearing this, Yellow Dragon Sovereign immediately calmed down.

That was right.

White Dragon Supreme, whose ideas about becoming stronger had clearly differed from theirs, was already dead.

They had originally hoped that the supreme treasure would return, allowing them to continue developing and growing stronger under Black Dragon Supreme's leadership.

But after provoking such a great figure, only the two of them had survived.

If they did not cherish this rare sliver of hope now, then it would truly be over!

"Yellow Dragon greets my liege!"
