The War God pressed the Slavery Soul Seal towards Xiao Yi's glabella.
In the fluctuation of black light, the Slavery Soul Seal transformed into specks of spiritual light that surged into his glabella, heading straight for the soul. As long as the Slavery Soul Seal could be branded on the soul, even if he one day broke through to the Longevity Secret Realm, he would still have to obey the War God's commands.
Life and death would be decided by a single word from the War God.
A look of smug satisfaction emerged on the face beneath the War God's mask, "Even at the peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, he possesses such combat strength. This boy's talent is definitely extraordinary, and there must be a tremendous opportunity on him. Once I enslave him, I won't only gain a powerful servant but also seize his opportunity…"
"Enslave my boss? You're dreaming!" Little Lin's disdainful voice suddenly came from Xiao Yi's embrace.
The War God's face changed.
Little Lin wriggled out of Xiao Yi's embrace and stood up on his shoulder, scoffing continuously, "A piece of crap War God, you think you can enslave my boss with such ability? I really don't know what you were thinking!"
The War God's face changed abruptly, never expecting to be looked down upon by a little beast.
With a darkened face, the War God shouted coldly, "You little beast, you're looking for death!"
The War God swung his battle-axe fiercely, but to his shock, the axe didn't move an inch. As the War God hesitated, he saw an iron fist already appearing before his face and with a thud, it struck him squarely on the face.
The helmet-mask over his face shattered explosively, and his entire face concaved in.
His body flew backward from the impact of the violent force, and his head smashed against the wall with a bang. The whole underground palace trembled, echoing the enormous collision sound.
As the War God rose to his feet, he felt a buzzing, intense pain in his head and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, his body staggering to the ground once more.
He looked at Xiao Yi in utter bewilderment, "You—you—you haven't been controlled by my Slavery Soul Seal?"
"The Slavery Soul Seal? Are you talking about this thing?"
With a mocking smile, Xiao Yi lifted his hand, and a black Slavery Soul Seal appeared on his palm. It was the same seal that the War God had previously injected into Xiao Yi's body, but now, it was forced out of his body?
"This is impossible, how could my Slavery Soul Seal fail…" The War God was completely dumbfounded.
Xiao Yi sneered, "Just a mere enslavement secret technique, and you think it can shake my soul? Ridiculous!"
The War God's complexion alternated between shades of green and white.
This was his greatest reliance, yet it was unable to enslave Xiao Yi.
His gaze shifted quickly, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, "Little guy, I admit defeat. About today's incident... "
He suddenly smacked his palm.
Black streams of air immediately spurted out within the underground palace, instantly covering the entire area, his smug laughter echoing throughout, "Boy, do you know why I have been able to securely hold the title of War God? Because even if I can't kill you, I have a hundred ways to put you to death! Hahaha..."
The War God's laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by screams of agony and incredulous outcries, "Impossible, how could you possibly find this secret passage? Without my secret technique, it's impossible to open it, you..."
Inside the secret passage.
Xiao Yi held the War God by the neck with one hand, his expression emotionless as he looked at him and sneered, "Using poison to kill us and then hiding in the secret passage is indeed a good move. But you seem to have forgotten, if I'm fast enough, I can catch you before the passage closes!"
The War God's face turned utterly resigned.
He knew he had hit a snag today.
The War God exhaled a long breath of foul air and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I concede defeat. State whatever conditions you have!"
Having controlled Gold Field Island for so many years, this was the first time someone had gone this far against him!
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes as Little Lin climbed along his arm to the War God's shoulder.
Opening its mouth, it revealed two sharp and fierce fangs.
War God gasped sharply and quickly shouted, "Wait, wait... Let's talk, don't do this..."
Little Lin's crimson letters pulsed.
Pulsing with a faint cold light, his eyes fixed firmly on War God.
Xiao Yi said in a heavy voice, "Where is my friend Yue Shanchuan?"
"He, he's right below the underground palace, I, I will take you there right now. Just don't kill me, and I promise to set him free..." War God hurriedly said, knowing that as long as he stayed alive, he could rebuild another War God Temple.
Xiao Yi let Little Lin wrap around his neck and said indifferently, "Lead the way, you'd better not try any tricks, or with just one bite from Little Lin, not even a deity could save you!"
War God dared not play any more tricks, obediently leading Xiao Yi and Little Lin through the secret passageway.
Thirty thousand meters beneath the underground palace.
This place was a world of its own, a more magnificent underground palace than the one above, built around a blood-colored Spiritual Spring in the center. Around the spring, figures sat cross-legged.
From the Blood Spring flowed streams of blood-colored water, weaving a web-like network.
These powerhouses were seated in the midst of the network, wherever the blood-colored water flowed.
"Spiritual Blood Pool?"
The moment Xiao Yi saw the Blood Spring, he recognized it.
It was mentioned in the inheritance of the Wind Thunder master.
That Spiritual Blood Pool was a naturally occurring, extremely rare cultivation paradise.
There are three paths to Nirvana.
Physical Nirvana, Spiritual Nirvana, and Dharma Phase Nirvana.
Relatively speaking, Spiritual Nirvana takes the longest time, Physical Nirvana produces results the fastest, while Dharma Phase Nirvana carries the lowest risk.
There are many treasures that can enhance the success rate of Nirvana and compress the accumulation time required for Nirvana.
Spiritual Blood Pool in front of him, which is the most precious paradise for those strong in Spiritual Nirvana. Ordinary Spiritual Nirvana powerhouses need to spend years, even decades, enhancing their spiritual power to withstand the next Nirvana Heavenly Tribulation.
This process could last several hundred or even thousands of years.
But with the help of the Spiritual Blood Pool, this time could be reduced to a tiny fraction of that!
War God's face turned slightly pale, and he had not expected that Xiao Yi would recognize the Spiritual Blood Pool, suddenly feeling a strong unease. The Spiritual Blood Pool was the foundation for his establishment, and it was because of it
That War God was able to raise his cultivation to the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm so quickly.
It was due to his strong spiritual power and innate third eye that allowed him to activate Spiritual Secret Skills and condense the Slavery Soul Seal that led to the glory of the War God Temple today.
"Young hero, your friend is over there..." War God quickly changed the topic.
Xiao Yi gave a grunt and soon found Yue Shanchuan.
"Please wait a moment, young hero, I will release his Slavery Soul Seal!" War God said obsequiously, proceeding to release Yue Shanchuan's Slavery Soul Seal.
As the Slavery Soul Seal was released, the confusion vanished from Yue Shanchuan's eyes, restoring clarity.
He immediately saw Xiao Yi and asked incredulously, "Eh? Xiao, how come you're here?"
Xiao Yi then recounted the events to Yue Shanchuan.
Yue Shanchuan suddenly understood, and recalling his previous encounter in the underground palace, he glared at War God and said angrily, "Son of a bitch, such a bastard like you also dares to call yourself War God?"
War God gave an awkward smile, "It's just a title others gifted me!"
Yue Shanchuan glared at him viciously, and said helplessly, "I can't believe I lost to a bastard like you..."
Xiao Yi chuckled, "Don't dwell on it!"
Yue Shanchuan frowned deeply.
But War God turned to Xiao Yi, tentatively saying, "Young hero, I have already removed his Slavery Soul Seal, what do you think..."
Xiao Yi's mouth curved slightly upwards, his teasing gaze fixed on War God, seeing right through his thoughts, and he said leisurely, "What's the rush? I just happen to want to try the way of Spiritual Nirvana, and the Spiritual Blood Pool is not something you can find just anywhere. How can I leave without giving it a try?"
War God's face fell, "..."
