Chapter 396: The Fifth Supreme Power

Ma Xiu's strength all over his body dissipated, the supreme power fully retracted, with nothing retained.

As long as Shen Qing wishes, he can take Ma Xiu's life at any time.

Ma Xiu did this just to show enough sincerity.

Shen Qing lowered his head to look at Ma Xiu: "To be honest, after so long, there aren't many like you."

Shen Qing didn't rush to kill Ma Xiu, after all he originally planned to also subdue a clever servant, so that he could cooperate with Xu Luo among the rebels later, making things more convenient.

In the past, there were certainly not few who surrendered, but someone as strong as Ma Xiu, who lowered himself so humbly, was absolutely the first.

Ma Xiu showed a fawning smile: "There's no need to continue a battle that must be lost; life is still precious."

"Besides, I have a reason I must stay alive."

"A reason you must stay alive? Tell me."

Ma Xiu took a deep breath: "My wife and I are childhood sweethearts; we grew up together to the Divine Realm, and came together to the Third Layer World; we are very much in love."

"So your reason to stay alive is your wife?"

Ma Xiu shook his head, hatred appearing in his eyes: "No, my wife was killed by a Heavenly Dao! I must avenge her!"

As he spoke, Ma Xiu lifted his head to look at Shen Qing, his eyes full of determination: "When I begged you, I am willing to give everything! I will do whatever you ask! But please let me live!"

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, speaking the truth, his hatred deep as the sea, he is a sentimental person.

"Alright, then open your mind, allow no resistance; you only have one chance."

Ma Xiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he also understood what Shen Qing was about to do: to perform the Enslavement Method, which generally damages the mind.

But losing the mind is still better than death, after all, only by living does one have a chance to take revenge.

Ma Xiu exhaled, completely opening his mind: "Come on!"

Shen Qing raised his finger and softly chanted a phrase.

"My seal appears, myriad souls submit!"

Karmic power wrapped around the spirit, quickly inscribing the soul seal onto Ma Xiu's spirit; before long, the seal was completed, extraordinarily easy, with not a trace of resistance, even easier than subduing Xu Luo.

"That's enough."

Ma Xiu opened his eyes, his eyes showing a hint of confusion: "Is that it?"

Ma Xiu tried thinking a bit and found no sign of damage to his mind, yet he could clearly feel his spirit had changed; looking at Shen Qing, a feeling of submission welled up from within him, and he could not raise any thought of resistance.

Shen Qing also sensed Ma Xiu's doubt: "Don't think about it; I don't like that mind‑damaging secret art—subduing a few fools is useless."

Ma Xiu said: "Then what should I do?"

Shen Qing tapped his chin toward the few rebels fighting Li Lun and Xu Luo: "Don't rush; first go kill those rebels."

Ma Xiu hesitated not at all, immediately carrying out Shen Qing's order, standing up and walking toward them, while the just‑settled supreme power surged again.

As the distance closed, his speed increased until his figure vanished completely; when he reappeared, Ma Xiu had already killed his way to the center of the battlefield.

The dwarf Luo Mu thought Ma Xiu had come to support them, but before he could get excited, Ma Xiu's punch blasted out, straight toward Luo Mu's face, the air flashing with red ripples, extraordinarily terrifying and distorted.

Bang!

Luo Mu's head exploded on impact, his upper body mostly shattered; Luo Mu didn't even have a chance to react.

Don't think that just now Ma Xiu and Shen Qing fought for half a day without even touching Shen Qing—this doesn't mean Ma Xiu is weak; on the contrary, Ma Xiu is strong, it's just that Shen Qing's ability is too strange and powerful.

And now, Ma Xiu has reached this part of the battlefield, which is a dimensional strike; moreover, Luo Mu himself is already down to his last breath.

"Ma Xiu, what are you doing?"

"Are you crazy?"

The two remaining rebels shouted in anger.

Ma Xiu ignored the two, instead looking at Li Lun and Xu Luo: "Come together, help master deal with these two."

As soon as the word "master" came out, Li Lun and Xu Luo understood, they stopped haggling and directly attacked the remaining rebels from left and right.

Adding Ma Xiu from the front, the two remaining rebels had no way to escape.

The two rebels looked at Shen Qing: "Stop! I also want to surrender! I also want to submit to you!"

Hearing this, Li Lun hesitated a little, but Xu Luo beside him and Ma Xiu had no intention of slowing down; they had received the order to kill the rebels, and without Shen Qing's command to stop, they would certainly not hold back in the slightest.

Shen Qing looked at the two rebels: "There's no need; you might as well go die."

At the same time, the Primordial Source Eye began to decompose the two rebels' energy and flesh.

Shen Qing had no intention of acquiring too many servants; after all, servants are servants, easily exposed, having two hidden among the rebels as undercover agents is enough.

With the aid of Shen Qing's Primordial Source Eye, the three's attack proceeded extremely smoothly; estimated not long before these two would die, Shen Qing also couldn't be bothered to watch the battlefield, instead raising his hand to activate the Steal Heaven and Replace Sun Technique to devour the supreme power left behind by Luo Mu's death.

This is a twisted power, faintly reddish; Shen Qing also came to know the name of this supreme power.

Twisted Power.

Its strength is comparable to that of Annihilation Power and Destruction Power.

But adding one more power means that Shen Qing's Supreme Lotus can gain another color.

This is not as simple as four plus one; the speed and destructive force of the Supreme Lotus can be greatly increased.

Moreover, Shen Qing has just comprehended the Life Force Domain; the stability of the Supreme Lotus has also been greatly enhanced, so accommodating another supreme power presents no problem at all.

Shen Qing's attack power can therefore rise another level.
