Chapter 3688: Subduing the Demon Exalt

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalts heart immediately trembled when he heard the Primeval artifact spirits words. He felt an unprecedented threat of death engulf him, which left him both anxious and fearful.

He was a powerful Demon Exalt who specialised in souls. His research and control in this area had already reached a level of mastery. Even if only a feeble wisp of his soul remained, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was confident about possessing any Immortal Emperor with ease.

Let alone the fact that his soul right now was countless times more powerful than just a feeble wisp. In particular, after incinerating his body, he had momentarily strengthened his soul with the remaining power of his body, which allowed his soul to reach half of his peak strength.

Under this state, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was confident about possessing even Immortal Exalts, let alone mere Immortal Emperors.

However, he never thought that the Immortal Emperor he tried to possess would actually have three sovereign G.o.d artifacts. This immediately turned the possession that he had absolute confidence in into a pipe dream.

Suppressed by the three sovereign G.o.d artifacts, not only was the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt unable to resist, but he did not even have the strength to move.

At this moment, he had already become a sitting duck, completely at Jian Chens whim.

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. Would he devour the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts remaining soul to strengthen his own?

Under ordinary circ.u.mstances, he would never do that. After all, even if the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt stood no chance against him, he could still flee. However, with the a.s.sistance of the three sovereign G.o.d artifacts and the fact that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had entered his sea of consciousness himself, that immediately turned something impossible into a possibility.

If I devour the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts soul, the benefits I receive wont be limited to my soul strengthening. Ill also receive the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts memories.

Thats equivalent to inheriting everything that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt possesses.

Jian Chen had to admit that he was rather tempted.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt could sense Jian Chens thoughts, which immediately left him with chills. He had a spark of inspiration in the face of danger and said hurriedly, No, you cant devour me. I possess over a hundred million years of memories. If you devour that, my sea of memories will swallow your memories. By then, my memories will dominate. Your actions, personality, and so on will be influenced by my memories. You will no longer be you.

Under the suppression of us three sovereign G.o.d artifacts, many of your memories will be shattered. Only some of the useful memories will remain. It wont affect master at all, said the sword spirits. They stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt coldly and said, Even if a side effect like that really does exist, well just crush all of your memories so that master only absorbs the pure power of your soul.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt panicked even more. He said in a hurry, No, no, no. You cant do that. I fought beside you after all. You cant backstab me like that.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt looked at Jian Chen again and pleaded with him. Fellow, no, brother, please give me an opportunity. I escaped from the torturings of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants after all this difficulty. I havent even been able to witness the destruction of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants yet. I refuse to die just like this.

Jian Chen stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt quietly and said nothing at all.

At this moment, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt seemed to make some kind of decision. He gritted his teeth and said, Brother, if you forgive me, I swear that from this day onwards, I will serve you like a dog and obey your every command.

A hint of light flashed through Jian Chens eyes when he heard that. He stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt in interest and said emotionlessly, Youre a mighty Demon Exalt, while Im just an Immortal Emperor. In your eyes, Im probably just a slightly stronger ant. Are you really willing to abandon your great status and obey me?

After deliberating for a moment, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt said, If you were just an ordinary Immortal Emperor, Id never yield even if I faced death, but youre different. You possess three sovereign G.o.d artifacts and you have a wisp of true Chaotic Force in your soul. How can you be ordinary?

As a result, Im willing to believe that even if youre still very weak right now, you will definitely become someone significant in the future given your fortunes. You might even have a chance at becoming a sovereign of the world!

Reaching there, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts eyes became filled with yearning. If I can a.s.sist a future sovereign of the world, it would be of utmost glory to me.

However, youre a Demon Exalt, and an expert who studies the Way of Souls. You can probably overcome many restraints on the soul. How can I trust you completely? Jian Chen stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt brightly. His sharp eyes seemed to see through the depths of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts heart. Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, dont tell me Im supposed to trust you completely just based on your word?

After all, youve already found out about my greatest secret. If I dont kill you today, youll make all of my secrets public the next day, and Ill probably never be able to find peace.

Thats easy. A unique wisp of the power of the soul floated out from the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts soul. This is my lifebound true soul. My lifebound true soul is connected to my life. Once my lifebound true soul perishes, I will perish too.

I am giving you my lifebound true soul right now. As long as you control my lifebound true soul, it means you control my fate.

From today onwards, my life no longer belongs to me but to you.

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt demonstrated great resolve.

Jian Chen stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts lifebound true soul as he secretly communicated with the artifact spirits of the three sovereign G.o.d artifacts.

He was obviously nowhere near as knowledgeable as the three sovereign G.o.d artifacts. Jian Chen did not dare to be careless at all as he faced a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt.

The source of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts life is condensed from countless resentful thoughts, produced after a series of man-made mutations. This lifebound true soul is equivalent to his life core,

said the Source of Life.

Apart from this, theres no better way to go about it for now. After all, masters cultivation is a little low. Even with some of those ancient slave imprints, itll be very difficult to control a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt with masters current cultivation,

said the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall.

Jian Chen nodded as he extended his finger gently. The lifebound true soul that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had offered up flew into the Primeval Divine Hall, suppressed by the Primeval Divine Hall forever.

As for whether the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts lifebound true soul would try and turn against the Primeval Divine Hall, that was not something that Jian Chen was worried about. Unless Grand Exalts took action personally, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would not be able to make the artifact spirit of a sovereign G.o.d artifact yield by force.

Having the Primeval Divine Hall watch the Thousand Soul Demon Exalts lifebound true soul was truly a perfect safeguard. It dealt with all of the potential problems.
