Chapter 331: The Return of the Spirit Spear

Blood Flame's pupils shrank.

Submit? Or die? This mysterious person, suspected to be the Spirit Spear, actually wanted him to submit?

For a moment, Blood Flame didn't know whether to call the other party confident or stupid, but he also felt the killing intent emanating from the mysterious person.

If he didn't agree to submit, he was afraid he would really die.

"Blood Flame, I will give you five seconds to consider. If you don't agree, then go die." Li Yuan's voice was cold. "Five, four, three..."

Whoosh!

"I am willing to submit." Blood Flame suddenly knelt on one knee and said in a low voice: "I, Blood Flame of the Myriad Demon Civilization, am willing to submit to Master."

But in reality, Blood Flame's heart was cold, filled with killing intent.

Master? After escaping the Mingxu Star Realm, in the future, he must find a way to kill this idiot.

Of course, Blood Flame also guessed that this mysterious person had likely already obtained the treasure of the civilization mothership, which was why he had such authority.

However!

So what if he obtained the treasure? As long as he escaped and returned to the Myriad Demon Civilization, the other party couldn't do anything to him.

A real man knows when to bend and when to stretch; as long as he could survive, Blood Flame didn't care about bowing his head temporarily.

"Good."

"This is the performance of someone who knows the times. Blood Flame, you are a talent, and talents are very precious." Li Yuan smiled.

How could he not understand what Blood Flame was thinking?

Surface submission, he was afraid that deep down he was thinking about how to bite back.

"Words are not proof." Li Yuan looked down at him. "Make a Law Oath."

Blood Flame heard this, and sneered in his heart: "Sure enough, a stupid person. Law Oath? Oaths only take effect after I become a god, and violating a Law Oath won't take my life."

A Law Oath does indeed have binding power.

But it cannot constrain a person's inner thoughts, nor will it directly kill the person who took the oath.

If one violates a Law Oath? The most serious backlash is just being continuously affected by the Great Dao, and the speed of comprehending the mysteries of the Laws will be greatly weakened.

Compared to becoming a servant, naturally, one's life is more important.

But for Blood Flame, his goal has always been to become a Fifth Rank god... Law Oath? He wasn't afraid at all.

Those who worry about Law Oaths are often those who yearn for power.

"Law Oath?"

A look of struggle seemed to appear on Blood Flame's face, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "I don't know what Master is called?"

"Spirit Spear." Li Yuan's voice was cold. "Why, is making a Law Oath very difficult for you?"

Up to now, Li Yuan still hadn't exposed his identity as 'Li Yuan'.

He was worried that Blood Flame had some secret communication treasure, and before he had absolute control of the situation, he should naturally be careful.

Blood Flame's face showed struggle, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said slowly: "I am willing to swear by the Law Dao..."

He quickly made the Law Oath.

"Good."

"Blood Flame, now release your soul defense; I need to plant a restriction in your soul to prevent you from betraying me." Li Yuan said coldly.

"Soul restriction?" Blood Flame's expression changed; this time he was truly shocked.

He knew very well that there were many secret treasures among gods that could control servants, and if they betrayed...

Once the restriction took effect, the servant's end would be very miserable.

"Why, are you unwilling?" Li Yuan stared at him coldly. "Could it be that you were just pretending? Actually, you are unwilling to submit to me?"

"Rest assured, this restriction won't take your life, nor will it affect you. Once this restriction is planted, I will let you return to the Myriad Demon Civilization so you can continuously pass information to me." Li Yuan said coldly, giving the other party a big promise.

Blood Flame's heart moved; let him go back?

He originally thought that Spirit Spear would take him back to the Seven Star Civilization, but if he let him go back... soul restriction?

In the Myriad Demon Civilization, there are several gods; could they not break a soul restriction planted by a Second Rank lifeform?

In short, a hint of expectation rose in Blood Flame's heart.

"I am naturally willing to submit to Master." Blood Flame said in a low voice. "Okay, I will release the restriction, but I hope Master will be careful... planting a soul restriction, if not careful, I am afraid I will be injured."

If the body is injured, most of the Yuan Force can recover.

But if the soul is injured, it is a minor injury to the vitality, and a major injury to becoming an idiot, or even soul collapse.

"Rest assured."

"Relax, don't resist." Li Yuan looked down at him, having already silently unleashed the "Heart-Soul Nine Refinements".

Hum~

An invisible spiritual fluctuation had swept over, like a sharp thorn directly permeating into Blood Flame's soul.

"Ah~" Blood Flame only felt severe pain in his soul.

"Don't struggle, pain is normal; it's just a restriction, it will be fine in a while. If you struggle and your soul collapses, don't blame me." Li Yuan's voice was cold, continuing to bluff.

In reality, if Blood Flame resisted with all his might, it would be very difficult for Li Yuan to completely control the other party; at least the other party could destroy his own soul.

After all, Li Yuan was also just a Flying Heaven level soul; although stronger than the other party, there was no qualitative gap between them.

Like Semi-Gods and Void Gods controlling enemies with heart-soul, most first severely injure the other party with soul attacks, making the other party unable to struggle... Li Yuan couldn't do that.

But Li Yuan knew how to bluff.

Sure enough!

Under Li Yuan's coercion, Blood Flame dared not resist, enduring the severe pain in his soul, and let Li Yuan continuously unleash it... the whole process lasted about ten minutes.

Suddenly, Blood Flame faintly sensed something wrong; he felt many thoughts rising uncontrollably in his heart, and a hint of light erupted in his eyes, along with a hint of fear: "Wrong! Wrong! Spirit Spear, this is not a soul restriction! It is the heart-soul control method mentioned by my master."

"No!"

"I am absolutely unwilling to be controlled by heart-soul!!" Blood Flame suddenly let out a roar, and a hint of determination erupted in his eyes.

Surface submission? Being planted with a soul restriction? Blood Flame felt there was hope to break free in the future.

But being controlled by heart-soul? Then it was all over!

Puff~

A slap hit Blood Flame's body hard, slamming his body, which had just recovered, onto the ground, and a large mouthful of blood sprayed out again, with no power to resist.

"Discovered?"

"Too late!" Li Yuan's voice was cold, and nine thoughts suddenly rushed into Blood Flame's soul like a torrent.

The final step of heart-soul control began—heart control.

"Ah!" Blood Flame wanted to struggle, wanted to destroy his own soul, but was horrified to find that he could no longer manipulate his soul.

During the previous ten minutes, he had let Li Yuan unleash it... he had already lost autonomous control of his soul.

"It's over!!" Blood Flame's heart was filled with despair, and even more with monstrous hatred: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this."

"Damn Spirit Spear, actually able to unleash heart-soul control? Actually lied to me?"

He would rather die than be controlled by heart-soul.

One minute later.

"Master!" Blood Flame, covered in blood, knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with reverence: "Blood Flame, pays respects to Master."

This time, it was from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, good." Li Yuan revealed a smile, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Unleashing heart-soul control once consumed a lot.

But the price paid was worth it; through the heart-soul imprint, Li Yuan could clearly sense Blood Flame's thoughts, which was absolute submission from the bottom of his heart.

This was true enslavement.

Like soul restrictions, Law Oaths, servant contracts, etc., none of them could control a servant's inner thoughts... only heart-soul control could directly change a person's heart.

"The first Yuan Martial Artist of the Myriad Demon Civilization has been controlled by me just like this." Li Yuan smiled.

Li Yuan also had a hint of vigilance in his heart: "In the future, I must guard against enemies and must never be controlled by heart-soul... once controlled, it is almost equivalent to death."

"No, even more terrifying than death."

With one order from the master, the servant would kill his wife and children without hesitation, and would believe from the bottom of his heart that everything was correct.

How terrifying?

Of course.

Heart-soul control is not absolute; there are as many as four ways to break it. The first is for the master to lift the control.

The second is to kill the master; once the master dies, the servant's heart-soul imprint naturally dissipates.

Third, the servant's strength grows, and as the soul power becomes stronger, they break through the heart-soul imprint blockade and regain freedom unknowingly.

Fourth, a super powerhouse proficient in the soul helps to crack the heart-soul imprint.

"The 'Heart-Soul Nine Refinements' is a method created by a powerhouse among Heavenly Gods." Li Yuan thought to himself. "Even if the heart-soul imprint I planted is very weak, it would at least take a True God peak to break it without damaging Blood Flame's soul."

Of course, if Blood Flame wanted to regain freedom on his own, becoming a Void God peak would be about enough... after all, the heart-soul imprint Li Yuan unleashed was only 'Semi-God level'.

"No rush."

"It will take a long time for Blood Flame to become a Semi-God peak."

"When my strength is stronger, and I cultivate a 'Void God level heart-soul imprint', I will re-imprint it on his soul." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Heart-soul control is not once and for all, but the benefits are also great; one can harvest an absolutely loyal servant.

"Blood Flame."

"I will let you go in a moment."

"After returning to the Myriad Demon Civilization, prioritize your own cultivation." Li Yuan said. "I will let the Seven Star Civilization's intelligence network contact you secretly and pass some information back regularly; for specific details... remember, before breaking through to become a god, remember to send me a message."

With Blood Flame's talent, even if affected by the heart-soul imprint, his potential would be greatly reduced, but he still had hope of becoming a god.

And Li Yuan would also continuously help him.

"Yes, Master." Blood Flame said respectfully: "Master, the inheritance and treasures I obtained before, does Master need them?"

"No need."

"When you go back this time, you are not a loser, but a winner." Li Yuan shook his head. "After you go back, do not leak the secrets of the mothership's inner layer... just tell the Myriad Demon Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization that there are six divine inheritances hidden in the mothership..."

In the future, the Seven Star Civilization will definitely have geniuses coming to accept the Alien God inheritance in the mothership, and the news of the divine inheritance will spread sooner or later.

So, covering up Blood Flame's identity is very important.

"Also, don't continue to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm." Li Yuan instructed. "Return directly to the Myriad Demon Civilization."

"Yes." Blood Flame nodded.

Time passed.

Li Yuan arranged all the details for Blood Flame... and used the mothership authority to let Blood Flame leave the mothership.

"The game is set."

"If one day, Blood Flame can become the leader of the Myriad Demon Civilization, that would be great." Li Yuan had a hint of expectation in his eyes.

The Myriad Demon Civilization is a great threat to the Seven Star Civilization... and the hatred of both sides for over a hundred years, especially the destruction of Flying Star... makes the Seven Star Civilization extremely eager to take revenge.

The Myriad Demon Civilization longs to destroy the Seven Star Civilization.

The Seven Star Civilization also wants to annihilate the Myriad Demon Civilization.

Not long after, almost repeating the same trick, Li Yuan suppressed the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor again.

Of course, the process was much more difficult.

Because the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor's strength was too strong, with a life level as high as 36, coupled with the inheritance he just obtained, in a one-on-one fight, Li Yuan was actually at an absolute disadvantage.

The gap in the foundation was too obvious.

Forced, Li Yuan used the mothership authority to completely suppress the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.

However!

After being completely suppressed, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was quite straightforward, and Li Yuan easily unleashed the 'Heart-Soul Imprint', quickly controlling him.

"Master." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, resembling a Fire Qilin, said respectfully.

"You alone, do you have the confidence to control the Mingxu Beast Clan?" Li Yuan inquired.

"Yes." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was very confident.

"The inheritance you obtained, no need to hand it over to me; keep it well, cultivate well, and strive to become a Semi-God in the future." Li Yuan waved his hand: "Additionally, these Fifth-Layer star arts, Sixth-Layer star arts, you can choose some to learn."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan gave the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor some star arts.

Affected by the Law Oath, Li Yuan dared not leak star arts above the Seventh Layer; this was Venerable Qiu Bing's requirement.

But below Seventh-Layer star arts? Venerable Qiu Bing let Li Yuan spread them at will, wanting to teach whoever he wanted.

"Thank you, Master." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor only felt that the Master treated him, this servant, extremely well.

"Go, first go solve the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor." Li Yuan smiled.

"That idiot." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent: "Actually dared to try to kill Master, no need for Master to act, I will kill him in a moment."

In the past, the three great Beast Emperors were like brothers... but at this moment, Li Yuan's enemy was the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor's enemy.

"Mm." Li Yuan smiled: "Then I will leave it to you."

The two quickly left the inner layer and flew toward the outer layer of the mothership.

Outer layer, in a quiet room.

The huge Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor lay quietly here.

"Damn it! The passage hasn't opened, and I haven't been able to leave the mothership for so long." The Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor thought to himself: "Myriad Scales, that guy, could it be that he hasn't entered the control room?"

If the passage to leave had opened, he would have run away long ago.

"However, I have been hiding here, I'm afraid Spirit Spear hasn't been able to find me." The Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor muttered to himself.

Suddenly.

"Boom~" The door of the quiet room opened with a boom, making the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor suddenly shocked, his heart tense to the extreme, and he turned his head to look.

Seeing the figure at the door, the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor felt relieved in his heart and revealed a smile: "Myriad Scales brother, you are out? How is it?"

"I have already solved Spirit Spear."

"Also got the inner layer inheritance, come out." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor said enthusiastically.

"Good." The Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor didn't suspect anything, and his figure moved and flew toward the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.

Completely unguarded.

The long years of being together made him quite trust the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.

Just as the two sides approached.

"Roar~" The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor suddenly opened his bloody mouth and bit hard toward the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor's neck.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" Two hoof claws grabbed hard toward the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor's chest and heart.

Puff~ Bang! Blood splashed everywhere.

"Myriad Scales!!" The Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor was severely injured in an instant, completely stunned, finding it hard to believe.

"Dare to hunt down Master, go die!" The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor's eyes were cold, killing intent soaring to the sky.

Boom~

The door of the secret room closed with a boom, making the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor unable to escape even if he wanted to.

Two minutes later.

"Boom~" The door opened with a boom, and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, covered in blood, flew out of the secret room and respectfully came to Li Yuan: "Master, this is the treasure left by Heavenly Snake."

"Very good." Li Yuan put away the treasure, becoming more and more satisfied with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.

The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor's strength was very strong.

With this servant, the Mingxu Star Realm would be as stable as Mount Tai, and even if he left, the Tianliang Civilization wouldn't be able to make any waves.

The disadvantage was that he could only stay in the Mingxu Star Realm.

As for the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor? Li Yuan never thought about enslaving him; it was simply a waste of a spot.

"Wait for Blood Flame to go back and eliminate his own suspicion."

"Let's continue to cultivate in the mothership for two days." Li Yuan said softly.

"Yes." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor naturally complied.

In the quiet room.

"Cultivate." Li Yuan didn't want to waste time and continued to cultivate urgently.

Although the contemplation method was painful and torturous, he couldn't be lazy.

Comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, and contemplating various auxiliary cultivation treasures, was even more a work of accumulation over time.

Two days later.

"Go." Li Yuan said, turning into a stream of light and flying toward the passage, with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor following closely behind.

On the towering Ming Mountain, thousands of kilometers high.

The Heavenly Snake Lake, which had become dilapidated, no longer had its past beauty.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures darted out from the bottom and rushed out of the water.

"Myriad Scales, have you remembered my instructions?" Li Yuan looked at the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.

"Remembered."

The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor nodded respectfully: "Master, I will quickly summon the Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and then lead them to kill toward the Tianliang Civilization's base."

"In this way, not only will the Tianliang Civilization be destroyed, but the power of the Mingxu Beast Clan can also be significantly consumed silently." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor said solemnly: "Everything is for the Seven Star Civilization."

Now, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor also considered himself a member of the Seven Star Civilization.

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Destroying the Tianliang Civilization's base was not difficult; as long as he used the mothership's power, a main gun bombardment from tens of thousands of miles away would probably be able to kill most Flying Heaven initial stage powerhouses.

But!!

That would expose the fact that the Seven Star Civilization had completely controlled the mothership... which would significantly increase the risk of Blood Flame being exposed.

Secondly, the remaining power of the Mingxu Beast Clan was still too strong.

It would be very uncontrollable in the future.

Therefore, the plan Li Yuan set was to hide himself, pretending that 'Spirit Spear' only obtained one of the six Alien God inheritances.

Then, let the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor lead the Mingxu Beast Clan to fight the Tianliang Civilization... silently and thoroughly disintegrating the power of the Mingxu Beast Clan.

Until the territory and resources of the entire Mingxu Star Realm were completely controlled by the Seven Star Civilization.

"Go." Li Yuan instructed: "For the next period of time, I will still stay in the Mingxu Star Realm; if there is anything, you can contact me through the heart-soul imprint."

The master and the heart-soul servant can communicate through the soul; the stronger the soul of both parties, the further they can communicate.

Even, if both souls are strong enough, they can communicate across different worlds.

"Yes, Master." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor nodded.

Immediately, he turned into a stream of light and left.

The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor had obtained the 'Mothership Map Authority' granted by Li Yuan, and could easily find every Beast King... and with the prestige of the Beast Emperor for so many years, coupled with the fall of the other two Beast Emperors... it was destined that he would easily control the Mingxu Beast Clan.

"Preparing to go back." Li Yuan watched the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor leave.

"This trip to Ming Mountain has been a huge harvest; in terms of wealth and treasures, many Semi-Gods in the Seven Star Civilization are not as good as me." Li Yuan thought to himself: "In terms of inheritance... in terms of height, I'm afraid the entire civilization's accumulation is not as good as mine."

Counting it up, Li Yuan had already obtained two True God inheritances, one Earth-type True God and one Wind-type True God.

"Also obtained Xiao Bing, this spirit beast, a future True God peak powerhouse." Li Yuan felt ambitious in his heart: "Many accumulations."

"Next."

"It is to cultivate step by step; now, I am the civilization's first Yuan Martial Artist."

"In the future, it is to strive to become the strongest Flying Heaven martial artist, the strongest Semi-God." Li Yuan thought to himself: "I am not going to compare with the geniuses in the history of the Seven Star Civilization."

"But to compare with the Third Rank and Fourth Rank geniuses in the Divine Realm." Li Yuan thought to himself.

The top geniuses of the vast Divine Realm are Li Yuan's benchmark for comparison.

"Until one day, thoroughly eradicate all Star Realm threats and make the Seven Star Civilization thoroughly strong." Li Yuan had a longing in his heart: "Become like the Xianxu Civilization, or even stronger."

The Xianxu Civilization is absolutely strong.

Over long years, the Xianxu Civilization never worried about invasion by other civilizations in the dimensional domain.

"Return to the Mingyue Base."

"After handling everything in the Star Realm, go back to the Xia Nation, to see Uncle and Aunt and the others." Li Yuan knew.

Half a year without news, even if Yu Jinghe passed back news, the civilization high-level officials probably wouldn't reveal too much to Uncle and Aunt.

Family must be very anxious.

Swoosh! Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky.

Just as Li Yuan flew out of the Heavenly Snake Lake.

At the Mingyue Base, inside a Fourth Rank warship, in the conference room, only one life crystal remained.

"Yu Jinghe said Spirit Spear is still alive."

"But so much time has passed, and there is no news at all." Tavares sighed lightly.

"Spirit Spear might have been alive then, but what about now?" Jiang Zai also shook his head.

The two of them were very worried.

As Flying Heaven martial artists, they couldn't leave the Mingxu Star Realm, so naturally, they were worried about having to flee in the future.

They weren't afraid of death, but that didn't mean they wanted to die.

Suddenly.

"Boom!" The life crystal, which had been white for the past few months, suddenly bloomed with dazzling red light.

"Hmm?"

"What? The life crystal has recovered?" Tavares and Jiang Zai were stunned for a moment, and immediately, looks of wild joy appeared on their faces.

Clatter~

In the center of the conference room, a huge light screen suddenly appeared, revealing a figure in a black battle suit, looking at the background, it seemed to be flying at high speed.

"Spirit Spear?"

"Really came out?" Tavares and Jiang Zai were excited.

"So excited?" Li Yuan's voice carried a hint of a smile: "Send a message to Venerable Baishan and the others, just say I have obtained the divine inheritance and came out alive."

"Not long after."

"You will also be able to enter the Divine Land and try to accept the divine inheritance."

There are many benefits in the civilization mothership.

Li Yuan didn't look down on them, but they were helpful to most Flying Heaven martial artists.

"Good! Good."

"Divine inheritance?" Tavares and Jiang Zai were both surprised and happy.

"Spirit Spear is back." This news was passed to Fang Hai, Venerable Baishan, Venerable Demigod Sanye, and the others at an astonishing speed.

Senior Dongfang Ji also learned of it very quickly.
