Chapter 80: Subjugation
Zhou Heng raised his hand, released the Blue Silver Emperor, and left it in its original spot.
Released from the Battle Instrument Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor's stems and leaves, which had been listless, now looked at least a little more spirited.
However, after returning to its spot, the Blue Silver Emperor's stems and leaves, which had just improved slightly, returned to their listless state.
Zhou Heng ignored it, released his spiritual power to scan the entire room, and subsequently found a small box inside.
Immediately, he moved his body to a corner of the room and placed his hand on the wall; it was actually a hidden compartment.
In such a dark environment, he would not have discovered this hidden compartment if not for his spiritual scan.
Zhou Heng took out the small box, walked over to the Blue Silver Emperor, and raised his hand to open it.
This box was made of lead stone, which could seal the treasure inside and prevent its vital energy from leaking out.
The moment the box was opened, the vital energy that had been sealed within for eight years instantly leaked out.
Dugu Bo and his companion were also attracted by the vital energy leaking from the box in Zhou Heng's hand and could not help but look over.
Inside the box, a soul bone that was entirely blue-gold in color came into everyone's view.
This was a Right Leg Bone, and because it had never been absorbed by anyone, this Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was filled with Life Essence.
However, Zhou Heng did not give the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan to absorb, but instead placed it directly next to the weak Blue Silver Emperor.
Upon sensing the Life Essence of its own Right Leg Bone, the weak Blue Silver Emperor shed its former frailty, spiritedly stretching out its branches, wanting to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to restore its own emptiness.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan did not stop it; this was the result of the three of them discussing and deciding together.
The goal was to let the Blue Silver Emperor recover quickly so that it could do things for them.
Zhou Heng did not pay further attention to the Blue Silver Emperor absorbing the soul bone, turning instead to face a wall; this wall was very smooth, and Zhou Heng was extremely satisfied with it.
"Tang Hao, this time, I will give you some 'surprises'," Zhou Heng thought to himself.
Zhou Heng gathered soul power in his hand, using the soul power as a pen and the wall as paper, and wrote a line on the wall:
"I never expected, never expected, that I, Tian Xie, could find a Blue Silver Emperor undergoing re-cultivation in such a dump.
It is truly heaven's mercy; I, Tian Xie, have been hunted by the Spirit Hall for over a decade, but with the help of the Clear Sky Douluo, I have finally shaken off the Spirit Hall's pursuit.
As long as I completely master the soul of the Blue Silver Emperor, I will be able to contend with a Title Douluo.
Regardless of whether this Blue Silver Emperor fell here by accident or was planted here by someone, I, Tian Xie, will return here after mastering the Blue Silver Emperor's soul."
To make Tang Hao believe him more, while writing these words, Zhou Heng also used his spiritual power to simulate the mental state of those evil Spirit Masters.
Therefore, when Zhou Heng wrote these words, he would occasionally scribble and revise, which caused these characters to look extremely sloppy, and these words also revealed a sense of madness.
After writing the words, Zhou Heng scanned them, confirmed there were no issues, and turned to look at the Blue Silver Emperor, which was surrounded by Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
At this time, the Blue Silver Emperor had grown from its original length of two fingers and the thickness of half a pinky finger to forty centimeters tall and the thickness of half a wrist.
This change was as if it were two different Blue Silver Emperors.
Zhou Heng looked at the Blue Silver Emperor, then directly put away the box that had contained the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
"How much longer do you want to pretend? You've already woken up, yet you still want to act like an ordinary Blue Silver Emperor?" Zhou Heng said coldly.
As Zhou Heng's voice fell, the Blue Silver Emperor, which had still been seeking nutrients, changed abruptly, and then a clear, ethereal voice sounded from the Blue Silver Emperor's body: "What do you want from me? As long as you can assist my recovery, I can help you all."
It was not that the Blue Silver Emperor did not feel the shackles in its Sea of Consciousness, but now that a Title Douluo was nearby, if it revealed any thoughts of wanting to break free from the constraints, it would likely be completely eradicated.
Zhou Heng felt disdain for what the Blue Silver Emperor said; whatever he wanted to do, he only needed to say a word, and his seven masters would certainly help him achieve it—why would he need the Blue Silver Emperor's help?
"You've become a Blue Silver Emperor with only a thousand years of cultivation, and you still want to make a deal with me? You aren't worthy!
Heh, my Battle Instrument Martial Soul can subdue Spirit Beasts to provide me with Soul Rings, and you, once a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, have now been subdued by me using the Battle Instrument Martial Soul.
Don't even think about resisting my orders; the spiritual imprint of the Battle Instrument Martial Soul is not something you can resist.
If you don't believe me, you can try."
Zhou Heng told the Blue Silver Emperor the characteristics of his Battle Instrument Martial Soul; right now, Tang Hao was in Nuoding City observing Tang San and that little rabbit, and would absolutely not return to check on the Blue Silver Emperor.
He also had a level 95 Poison Douluo by his side, and being in such a secret place, no one would ever know what he had said.
After Zhou Heng finished speaking, the Blue Silver Emperor disregarded the presence of a Title Douluo nearby, manipulated its spiritual power, and charged directly at the feeling of restraint in its consciousness.
However, the moment its spiritual power struck that restraint, the Blue Silver Emperor's spiritual power immediately weakened, and even its life aura began to drop.
And, from the Blue Silver Emperor's main body, streams of blue-green sap spilled out.
Zhou Heng just watched the Blue Silver Emperor's actions quietly, seeing the Blue Silver Emperor's main body spilling sap directly.
A smile appeared on Zhou Heng's face as he said to the Blue Silver Emperor: "How is it? Have you felt that sense of restraint? It seems you have your own experience now; from now on, follow orders.
Do you understand!"
By the end, Zhou Heng's words already carried a chill that pierced the Blue Silver Emperor's heart, causing it to tremble.
The Blue Silver Emperor felt the shackles on its consciousness, but it did not give up in its heart; even if subdued, the Blue Silver Emperor did not fear Zhou Heng—at worst, it would just be death, and it wasn't as if it hadn't died before.
Moreover, since it had already been subdued, the three of them naturally would not kill it right now.
That would not be in their interest.
Even if it died, it was not afraid.
It was just that, my child, Mother can no longer continue to accompany you.
Thinking of the child it had only seen once, a sigh rose in the Blue Silver Emperor's heart.
Zhou Heng looked at the Blue Silver Emperor, which was radiating sorrow from its body, and laughed, saying: "Blue Silver Emperor, you might not know, but after you sacrificed yourself back then, Tang Hao beat the former Pope into a serious injury, and in the end, the Pope even died from those severe injuries."
