"Come here and talk to me!"
Gai Jiuyou remained calm, the Chaos Green Lotus in his hand swaying with a clear light, ripples spreading out and emitting a faint fragrance.
Upon hearing this, Tuoyu Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just escaped death. He respectfully said, "Thank you for your mercy, Senior."
There is great terror between life and death; if one can live, who would willingly choose death?
"As expected, given his personality, he won't go on a killing spree..."
Su Yu murmured to himself, shook his head, and remained calm, showing no surprise at the outcome.
In the original timeline, Gai Jiuyou's only act was when the Primordial Royal Clan tyrannized the world and slaughtered Human Clan. He used his Emperor Weapon to kill two royal families and confronted several Ancient Emperor Clans Great Saint.
Given the current situation, unless Tuoyu Yuansheng refuses to surrender even at the cost of his life, his chances of survival are very high.
The other seven Ancient Saint followed behind the golden-robed Great Saint, carrying with them the thoughts of surviving a calamity, and came together to pay homage to the Quasi-Emperor.
"Greetings to the Imperial Clan Supreme!"
Clouds flowed and mist swirled. Tuoyu Yuansheng bowed deeply, performing a grand salute with utmost respect.
The other seven sages also bowed and said in unison, "Greetings to the Imperial Clan Supreme!"
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Gai Jiuyou's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Su Yu, his attitude very gentle, showing none of the majesty of Quasi-Emperor.
The Demon Jar hung in the sky, with countless strands of dark light descending from it. Its divine power shook the universe. Su Yu remained calm, bowed, and said, "I humbly obey my master's command. My cultivation is still shallow, and I dare not speak presumptuously."
The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo avatar beside him also bowed respectfully, his attitude solemn and his manners impeccable.
Seeing a group of Saint kneeling, Wang Teng was filled with emotion. These were all legendary beings, yet now they all bowed their heads, no different from prisoners.
Suddenly, he glanced to the side and noticed that Xiang Yufei seemed off; his eyes were unfocused, his expression was brooding, and he seemed lost in thought...
After receiving Su Yu's response, Gai Jiuyou nodded slightly, his eyes filled with even greater appreciation.
He knew that Su Yu's Chaos True Body cultivated the " Devouring Heaven Demon Art," following the Devouring Great Dao, which required devouring bloodlines.
However, there are different kinds of killing. In the struggle for the Emperor's Path, devouring the defeated is nothing. After all, the Emperor's Path is built of piles of bones, and everyone who walks the Emperor's Path knows the fate after defeat.
In other words, the Starry Sky Emperor Path is a test, like a competition among billions of insects to produce the final Gu King. Behind each of those Supreme who attained enlightenment, there were piles of bones and mountains of corpses.
If one engages in rampant killing, loses humanity, and tyrannizes the world for the sake of cultivation, then the cultivator who emerges from such a path is nothing more than a servant of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, controlled by the technique, and has no possibility of attaining enlightenment.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Ruthless One Lineage has produced many scoundrels who wreak havoc on the world. Lacking natural talent, they dare not wield their swords against the strong, but instead wield them against the weaker. The weak, lacking in bloodline power, often need to make up for it with sheer numbers.
As a result, these people aroused great resentment, eventually angering the world and being besieged and killed by various forces, disappearing without a trace.
This Ruthless Inheritance is able to suppress his demonic tendencies and has committed very few acts of killing since his birth, making him a rare exception in the Ruthless One Lineage...
Hearing the conversation between the two, Tuoyu Yuansheng was shocked and could not calm down. It was not until the cultivator who had taken the form of the Immortal Medicine spoke that he calmed down, his face remained calm, and a trace of the aura of a Great Saint reappeared.
" Tuoyu, we met once a thousand years ago, and now we meet again. It can be considered a kind of fate." Gai Jiuyou's voice was gentle and not arrogant. He smiled faintly.
"In the past, I was short-sighted and failed to recognize True Dragon, and I have been negligent in my duties. I hope you will forgive me, senior!"
The Golden-Robed Great Saint was enveloped in the True Solar Fire, his golden hair gleaming, making him appear very holy. Now that the life-or-death crisis was over, he regained his former extraordinary demeanor, indeed possessing a touch of invincible charisma.
However, after he finished speaking, the slender figure in front of him remained silent for a long time. Only wisps of clear light flickered, and the Daoist energy swirled, outlining the shape of a lotus flower, drifting around.
After an unknown amount of time, Tuoyu finally heard a sigh, "Your Dao heart is clouded; without a great opportunity, you will find it difficult to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm..."
Upon hearing these words, the Golden-Robed Great Saint Sage trembled, his aura instantly intensified several times, his eyes filled with gloom, and the golden patterns in his eyes burned fiercely, radiating brilliant light.
How could he not know all this? He was suppressed by three Emperor Weapon and then frightened away by Quasi-Emperor. His Dao heart was in turmoil, and in order to survive, he abandoned everything from the past.
Just as demonic thoughts surged in Tuoyu's mind, another heavenly voice of tribulation crossing came, carrying an ethereal immortal Immortal Qi that bathed his primordial spirit in a Qingfeng, bringing a sense of tranquility.
"Follow him, and you'll have a chance to continue your path to Quasi-Emperor. This is your only chance. Apart from him, in this vast world, no one else can help you..."
From the outside, Gai Jiuyou shook his head, somewhat moved, as he watched Tuoyu Yuansheng deep in thought.
The path of life and death is the most terrifying; even the strongest person cannot remain calm in the face of death.
Sometimes, retreating temporarily is not a shameful thing.
But the one before us is different; he cultivates the Way of Domination and harbors an invincible will.
Such a person, if undefeated, will advance triumphantly and Dao Fruit considerable success. However, once defeated or forced to retreat, the invincible mindset in their heart will backfire, making it extremely difficult to regain.
After all, the difficulty of rebuilding from the ashes is no less than being Lifetime. In his nine thousand years of life, only Xiang Yufei has accomplished this. How many people like the Central Emperor are there?
In this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only this chosen one can help others defy fate and change their destiny. The opportunity has been given; it remains to be seen whether this old friend can seize it.
After instructing Tuoyu, Gai Jiuyou's eyes flickered slightly, and the sound of his blood flowing within his body was like thunder from the Nine Heavens, resounding in the ears of the seven Ancient Saint, making them shudder and feel even more that the person before them was invincible.
"I have made a solemn vow of faith, and this matter is now closed."
Chains of order swirled, celestial light swirled around, Gai Jiuyou remained calm, his body glowing with a layer of Gai Jiuyou light, the Chaos Green Lotus trembled, scattering a burst of imperial radiance that made it impossible to look directly at him.
"This..."
Upon hearing the Quasi-Emperor's request, several Saint King showed signs of struggle, while the other Saint also looked troubled and somewhat resistant.
Chapter 435 Subduing the Saints [Bonus Chapter for 30,000 Favorites]
Although the Great Oath of the Dao Heart is not as humiliating as the Soul Forbiddenness, once violated, one's state of mind will be flawed, which will hinder one's path to enlightenment.
These ancient sages all came from the Immortal of the Foreign Realm lineage, with ancestors who included Great Saint and Quasi-Emperor, and they were unwilling to be controlled by others.
"Your Supreme, we are willing to obey your decree and follow your orders..."
The Saint King Cangyue turned pale and expressed his opinion, wanting to atone for his sins and offset his oath of Dao Heart through other means.
The other Ancient Saint also had shining eyes, filled with hope.
"Interesting!"
Yang Yi chuckled softly, her voice as melodious as a silver bell.
Her silver dress swayed as she stepped forward. Above her head, the Lihuo Divine Furnace floated and sank, emitting countless strands of Eternal Immortal Fire, shimmering and radiant, incomparably magnificent, exuding Supreme power that suppressed everything, causing the seven Ancient Saint to tremble and tremble with emotion.
"Look at the situation clearly. You are all prisoners, what right do you have to speak? Today, His Supreme has issued a decree: if you do not swear a great oath of faith, you will die." Yang Yi's voice was cold, his hands moving rapidly to form the Heaven-Burning Seal, as if he was about to fight at the slightest provocation.
Upon hearing this Jade Lake Saintess from ten thousand years ago address him as Supreme, Gai Jiuyou's expression froze, and he felt slightly embarrassed.
At his peak, although he mastered some of the Imperial Dao Laws, he did not truly achieve Alternative Dao Attainment. His immortal body was tempered to the extreme, comparable to Supreme, but his primordial spirit was a step behind, still somewhat inferior to those ancient beings in the forbidden zones, and he did not deserve the title of Supreme.
Especially since he and Yang Yi lived in similar eras and he knew this "Jade Lake Saintess," he was surprised to find himself a generation older than her upon their reunion. Hearing her praise seemed rather odd.
This Imperial Lord Su is indeed skilled at using both soft and hard tactics, successfully poaching the former Source Heavenly Master's men. Now, one plays the good cop and the other the bad cop; their methods are truly impressive.
Hearing Yang Yi's threat, and seeing that terrifying imperial furnace, several Saint trembled, unable to bear the weight of the threat. They could only prepare to make a great oath of faith with a sense of humiliation.
" Yi'er, don't be rude."
Suddenly, a gentle voice dispelled the power of the Immortal Fire, like a cold winter passing by, and the sun shone high in the sky.
Su Yu reprimanded Yang Yi, then smiled faintly, his expression full of sincerity. He treated everyone with respect and humility, personally helping the seven Ancient Saint up, starting with Eastern Sea Saint Li. His sincerity and genuine affection were like a gentle breeze...
As Su Yu persuaded the Sages of Ziwei, Gai Jiuyou's eyes shone brightly, piercing through tens of thousands of miles in a single glance. Two dazzling divine lights shot from his eyes, like two torches, soaring into the sky.
"Fellow Daoist, come and have a chat!"
Gai Jiuyou extended a giant hand, swirling with Chaos azure light, as if forged from divine metal, carrying a vast and profound imperial aura, instantly tearing through the sky.
The Void shattered, rippling like water, and a figure fell from it, emanating a terrifying Taichu Laws.
The tall, blue-haired old man was dressed in a star-patterned robe and carried a silver sword. Although he was shrouded in an aura of decay, his divine power was as deep as the ocean and as vast as the sea, enough to tear this world apart.
He is the third of the seven generations of Heavenly Tianlang of Heavenly Wolf Mountain, the Star Lord Lucun. His cultivation has broken through the Saint King Heavenly Barrier and entered the Great Saint Realm. He is an unparalleled giant among the Demon Clan.
"What's going on? Where's the Humanoid Immortal Medicine? It's actually a quasi -Quasi-Emperor!"
Star Lord Lucun frowned, looking coldly at the approaching imperial aura hand. He drew his silver sword from his back and used the Tianlang Divine Art.
" The Tianji Dao, the Falling Sword Art, traverses all directions!"
The Third Perfected One activated his silver sword, and in an instant, wind and clouds rose, stars trembled, Big Dipper shone brightly, as dazzling as a canopy in the sky, casting down countless rays of light.
Sword energy surged forth, its power overwhelming, Dao patterns intertwined and shifted, converging into clusters of starry sky, covering the world, stirring the nine heavens, and revolving through the Three Thousand Worlds.
The chilling silver light crisscrossed, bursting forth like Chaos light, blooming into a dazzling silver lotus in the world. Light rain fell like a waterfall, withering away wantonly. All sorts of sword laws surged, condensing into one, transforming into supreme sword energy, and slashing down at the azure hand.
"So it's Star Lord Lucun from Heavenly Wolf Mountain, come here!"
Gai Jiuyou remained calm, reaching out and unleashing a massive, Shrouding the Heavens hand of imperial aura that shattered countless sword lights in an instant.
As soon as the blazing Quasi-Emperor Law was unleashed, nine strands of Green Lotus mist transformed into strands of Dao traces, intertwining to form azure-gold chains that captured the Second Ancestor of Heavenly Wolf Mountain and suppressed him in the clouds.
Star Lord Lucun let out a muffled groan as the Taichu Immortal Light on his body shattered. Impacted by the Extreme Dao Emperor Qi, his aura was greatly reduced, and he almost died on the spot.
Unlike the Longevity Saint and the Ancient Saint Tianlang, he was not in good condition and had not retained much lifespan. This time, he was also trying to gain Lifetime lifespan for the sake of the Immortal Medicine.
However, what awaited him was not the Immortal Medicine, but an invincible Quasi-Emperor, thus tarnishing his Lifetime reputation.
Later generations have misled me; what can I do?
"The progenitor..."
Above the clouds, the Ancient Saint Tianlang, with his blue eyes and gray hair, looked grief-stricken and extremely depressed, harboring great resentment towards Su Yu.
If I had told you earlier that you had Quasi-Emperor backing you, who would have dared to provoke you? Using Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon to deal with a few juniors at the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform is clearly entrapment. It's inhuman and truly despicable.
In this way, the Heavenly Wolf Mountain has exhausted its resources, lost its Quasi-Emperor Artifact, and is only protected by a remnant Quasi-Emperor. How can it possibly withstand the Big Dipper Imperial Clan? It would be better to surrender.
Thinking of all this, the Ancient Saint Tianlang stood up and made a great oath to his Dao heart. Not only that, he also offered up a wisp of his life soul, showing the utmost humility.
"It is truly a fortunate event that Fellow Tianlang has come to join us today!" Su Yu said solemnly, taking out a metal piece as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Buzz!"
Its lapis lazuli is brilliant and dazzling, its sound clear and crisp, like the most beautiful blue diamond, flowing with a dreamlike starlight luster.
The metal plate exuded a vast and heavy pressure, making people tremble. It had layers of wing-like ripples on it, like Flying Immortal Yuhua, possessing Wuliang power!
" Feathered Green Gold!"
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon this thin sheet of metal, their hearts trembling. This was an extremely rare and precious material, one that could not be found in the entire world.
Ancient Saint Tianlang was even more excited. While smelling the fragrance of the Divine Medicine, he looked at the Immortal Gold and felt as if he had fallen into a sweet pool.
"This time, Fellow Tianlang has abandoned darkness and embraced light, submitting to the Imperial Dynasty. I hereby grant you a month to study the Emperor Scripture," Su Yu said softly, his lips barely moving.
Upon hearing this, many Saint' eyes lit up instantly, their minds burning with fervor.
