Chapter 1001: Did I Not Deceive You?
As he spoke, Su Yi furrowed his brows.
The Soul Devouring Emperor might already be beginning to question things, but because he is a proud entity from the Demonic Emperor Realm, it’s difficult for him to submit to humans without difficulty.
However, Su Yi was not planning to continue wasting time with the Soul Devouring Emperor. If necessary, he would take action and subdue him forcibly.
Setting up the Demon Spirit Contract is a dangerous task, especially if the demon beast resists.
In the case of the Soul Devouring Emperor, forcing his own soul imprint into its beast soul is extremely perilous for Su Yi.
But at this point, he has no other option.
“Human, if that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to discuss!”
Su Yi’s words immediately enraged the Beast Spirit Emperor.
His previously calm demeanor became agitated once more.
As a powerful Beast Emperor, the Soul Devouring Emperor had his own pride, and his stubbornness made it impossible for him to bow before Su Yi.
Glaring at Su Yi, the Soul Devouring Emperor declared, “You need not threaten me. I say again, if you want to kill or torture me, do so. Use whatever means you wish. If I even flinch, count it as my defeat.”
As the Soul Devouring Emperor spoke, those in the mysterious space couldn’t help but be astonished by his words.
“You ignorant old worm! It’s only because your true form is an Ice Medullary Spirit Eater that I haven’t roasted you and devoured you already. Let’s see how strong you are without that!”
Beside them, Su Xiaoshuai wore a disgruntled expression, glaring at the Soul Devouring Emperor as he spoke.
He was a small bird, but not just any bird – he was a Divine Bird Phoenix, a creature that didn’t feed on insects!
Most importantly, Su Xiaoshuai had witnessed the Soul Devouring Emperor’s true form, and the idea of consuming such a creature disgusted him to no end.
“Do you really think I have no way of handling you?”
Su Yi’s anger flared as he didn’t believe for a second that he couldn’t defeat the Soul Devouring Emperor.
Just as Su Xiaoshuai had said, had the Soul Devouring Emperor been another demon beast, Su Yi would’ve roasted and eaten him by now.
“In this space, you will submit to me like a dragon or a tiger! Even if you’re the Demon Emperor, I will still suppress you! I have the means to make you obey!”
Su Yi’s gaze was cold as he spoke, each word imbued with power.
He had no intention of dragging things out further. Since the Soul Devouring Emperor was unwilling to cooperate, Su Yi would resort to overwhelming measures.
The mysterious space reverberated with the sounds of thunder, dragon roars, tiger growls, bird calls, and turtle cries, as if ancient forces were at play, distant and otherworldly.
Simultaneously, a soul-shaking aura surged, exerting an overwhelming pressure upon the Soul Devouring Emperor.
This space belonged to Su Yi, and although he couldn’t directly manipulate the power within, he could subtly influence certain aspects with a mere thought.
Su Yi intended to subdue the Soul Devouring Emperor and make him suffer.
Under the immense pressure, the Soul Devouring Emperor let out a low groan, visibly feeling the weight of the force pressing down on him.
Yet, he gritted his teeth and endured, his face contorting in agony, though he did not beg for mercy.
At that moment, Yin-yang Dark Emperor stepped forward and stood in front of Su Yi. He blinked and said respectfully, “Master, please be gentle! Allow me a chance. Perhaps I can persuade the Soul Devouring Emperor.”
Su Yi studied Yin-yang Dark Emperor for a moment and then responded, “Fine. You have the time it takes to burn an incense stick.”
With that, Su Yi left the mysterious space, taking Su Xiaoshuai and Huang Jian with him. His decision was resolute, and the oppressive aura dissipated immediately.
Su Yi knew that while Yin-yang Dark Emperor and the Soul Devouring Emperor weren’t on the best of terms, they had interacted numerous times in the past.
Yin-yang Dark Emperor’s suggestion implied he had some confidence, and while the outcome wasn’t guaranteed, if it worked, it would save Su Yi considerable effort.
Inside the mysterious space, Yin-yang Dark Emperor and the Soul Devouring Emperor exchanged words.
When the time it took to burn an incense stick had passed, Su Yi reentered, arriving precisely on time.
“Master!”
Yin-yang Dark Emperor stepped forward, smiling handsomely, his face conveying a sense of “luckily, not disappointing.” Su Yi was surprised by this.
He could imagine that Yin-yang Dark Emperor must have persuaded the Soul Devouring Emperor with reasoning and promises, using great temptations to make him agree.
Sure enough, the Soul Devouring Emperor turned to Su Yi and said, “If you wish for me to truly submit, it depends on the kind of opportunity you offer. If you deceive me, I would rather die!”
This time, the Soul Devouring Emperor no longer called Su Yi “human, human,” speaking in a softer tone.
He had realized there was no escaping – there were only two options: submit or die, and the Soul Devouring Emperor was unwilling to accept either of them.
But Yin-yang Dark Emperor had spun a compelling vision for him, based on recent observations, which had genuinely tempted him.
The Soul Devouring Emperor thought he could take the risk, even if it meant facing certain death. Even if Su Yi set a trap, nobody could stop him if he chose to die.
And if, by some miracle, the “great opportunity” Yin-yang Dark Emperor had mentioned turned out to be as extraordinary as promised?
“Definitely. I promise you won’t regret it!”
At last, Su Yi smiled and declared, “There’s no time to waste. Let’s begin now!”
Without hesitation, Su Yi began the process of arranging the Demon Spirit Contract.
He had used this method before, having already bound both the Green Emperor’s and Yin-yang Dark Emperor’s souls with the Demon Spirit Contract, so it was familiar territory for him.
With the Soul Devouring Emperor not resisting, Su Yi found the process relatively easy.
Handprints formed in Su Yi’s hands, exuding an ancient, mysterious aura. With the activation of Su Yi’s Divine Demonic Ancient Verse, there was a sensation of enchantment free of malice.
The powerful soul force condensed into a seal within the Soul Devouring Emperor’s mind, finally marking its beast soul.
Once the process was complete, a beam of light flashed, and Su Yi regained his calm.
“Squeak…”
When the Demon Spirit Contract was successfully imprinted, the Soul Devouring Emperor emitted a high-pitched sound, akin to the sharpest voice stabbing through one’s head, making it unbearably uncomfortable.
At that moment, a bright light flashed, and the Soul Devouring Emperor transformed into a white, worm-like creature about half a yard long.
This creature resembled a centipede, its body a chilling icy hue with a faint blood-colored glow. It had no legs but wings as thin as cicada wings, and its head resembled that of a large bee.
This was the true form of the Soul Devouring Emperor, the Ice Medullary Spirit Eater. Its appearance immediately caused the temperature in the mysterious space to plummet, making Su Yi shiver from the cold.
“Boom…”
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed through the mysterious space, like thunder exploding. From deep within, a vast, fluctuating breath surged. Divine light descended, accompanied by a majestic aura and radiant colors, enveloping the true form of the Soul Devouring Emperor.
“Rumble…”
The powerful and overwhelming aura, accompanied by lightning and thunder, poured directly into the Soul Devouring Emperor’s Ice Medullary Spirit Eater.
Instantly, the injuries previously inflicted by the Green Emperor and Yin-yang Dark Emperor began to heal at a rapid pace, as a mysterious ancient energy surged through its body.
“Hmm…”
The Soul Devouring Emperor let out a roar, standing tall and gazing upward, as the divine light embraced him, greedily absorbing the ancient energy.
“It’s done!”
Yin-yang Dark Emperor smiled and murmured to himself.
Having experienced similar situations before, he knew that the Soul Devouring Emperor was now gaining an immense opportunity.
Yin-yang Dark Emperor understood that once the Soul Devouring Emperor had obtained all the benefits, he would willingly submit to Su Yi, and his stubborn nature would fade.
After all, the power within this mysterious space was something even their demonic clan revered!
“Overlord Sect has gained another powerful Demonic Emperor Realm expert!”
Su Yi laughed joyously, knowing that due to the Demon Spirit Contract, the Soul Devouring Emperor had earned the approval of this mysterious space and was now receiving ancient inheritances and benefits.
Based on past experience, no demon beast could resist such an opportunity. Even the proudest and strongest of demon beasts would submit to these incredible rewards!
“Consider this disgusting bug sensible!”
Su Xiaoshuai stood on Su Yi’s shoulder, letting out a soft hum.
But the outcome was already satisfactory, and that was enough for him.
As the tremendous power receded, the Soul Devouring Emperor reverted to his original size, returning to his human-like form.
The old emperor’s face still showed signs of excitement, his amazement at the incredible benefits he had just received.
“To receive such extraordinary benefits, far beyond my expectations! From this moment on, I willingly serve you as my master and vow to follow your will without question!”
At last, the Soul Devouring Emperor turned to Su Yi, his face flushed with awkwardness, which quickly disappeared as he spoke earnestly.
His heart was in turmoil, and at this point, the Soul Devouring Emperor was truly ready to serve Su Yi.
Had he known the rewards in store, he would have agreed from the very beginning.
“Soul Devouring Emperor, didn’t I tell you? You’re still going to be this stubborn?”
Yin-yang Dark Emperor’s lips curled as he teasingly remarked.
The Soul Devouring Emperor’s face turned red again at these words.
“From now on, we are all allies, no need for formalities!”
Su Yi’s face lit up with joy as he pulled out a bottle of Spiritual Essence from his bag and handed it to the Soul Devouring Emperor.
