Previously, when Ji Tianxing forced the various territorial lords and Divine Kings to surrender, he also said the same thing, appearing particularly domineering, overbearing, and majestic.
At this moment, when that old grizzled territorial lord said these words, although it was a little like a fox exploiting the tiger's might, it also felt very comfortable and was exceptionally proud in his heart.
Under the suppression of the powerful aura, the 20,000 soldiers were in an uproar, all panicked and uneasy, at a loss on what to do.
The surrounding hundred-over Divine King powerhouses were all their immediate superiors, or clan heads, commanders, generals, and so on.
Even their leader swore an oath of surrender to Kenshin. Did they, these Divine Lord Realm small fries, still have the qualifications to resist?
The outcome was of course without suspense.
Many of the soldiers were already mentally prepared to surrender in their hearts.
Firstly, their strength was meager and could not resist on the spot. Otherwise, it would be a dead end.
Without needing Kenshin to make a move, just based on the hundred-over Divine King powerhouses in the field, they could kill all 20,000 soldiers.
Secondly, their leader already surrendered to Kenshin and pledged loyalty. They could not betray their own forces.
The various Divine Kings did not feel ashamed. They, these Divine Lord Realm small fries, naturally did not care about any face even more.
Hence, after the 20,000 soldiers were in chaos and clamor for a while, they all reached a consensus to admit defeat and surrender.
It was also at this time that Ji Tianxing finally appeared.
He walked out of the divine palace and crossed a distance of ten thousand feet in four steps, arriving right above the square, overlooking everyone present.
Even though he did not open his mouth to speak, nor did he release a powerful pressure.
But his entire body carried an aura that suppressed heaven and earth, an unparalleled sacred domineering aura, immediately making the entire square quiet down.
With those few territorial lords in the lead, 190 Divine King powerhouses all bowed and saluted Ji Tianxing in unison.
The 20,000 soldiers were stunned on the spot, all awed by Ji Tianxing's aura. Each and every one of them revealed reverence and fear, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing this scene, the few territorial lords hurriedly berated those soldiers.
"Are all of you dumb? Seeing Lord Kenshin arrive, still not quickly saluting? "
"What are you all in a daze for? Quickly salute and pay respects to Lord Kenshin! "
After being reprimanded by the Domain Lords, the soldiers came back to their senses and hurriedly bowed.
However, twenty thousand people were too many, and there was no tacit understanding between them. The scene was very chaotic and noisy.
The Region Masters, Godkings, and generals all blushed at this unsightly sight. They were so ashamed that they wanted to crawl into a hole.
These were the elite soldiers under their command. For them to perform in such an unsightly manner was a disgrace to them.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing did not mind this. He calmly waved his hand and shot out a white light, which condensed into a huge white light screen in the sky.
A large number of golden words appeared on the white light screen, showing a simplified version of the surrender oath of about three hundred words.
There was no need for Ji Tianxing to explain anything. Everyone understood that the 20,000 soldiers had to swear this oath to the Heavenly Dao before they could be considered to have surrendered and pledged their loyalty.
A familiar scene appeared once again.
The twenty thousand soldiers carefully read the Oath of the Heavenly Dao on the light screen. The more they read, the paler their faces became, and the more frightened they became.
The oath's content was harsh and complicated. It was truly unprecedented and made one's scalp tingle.
In the past, many soldiers had heard that when Kenshin ruled the Boundless Heaven Continent, he made a terrifying Oath of the Heavenly Dao. The content was very frightening.
Everyone thought that it was just forcing the enemy to swear an oath of surrender. It was nothing more than using their lives as a threat. What was there to be afraid of?
But now, everyone saw the content of the oath with their own eyes. Only then did they know that the frightening thing was not the consequences of violating the oath.
Instead, this Oath of the Heavenly Dao was very detailed. It took into account all the possibilities that the swearer could harm Kenshin's interests and threaten Kenshin's safety!
In other words, as long as they made this Oath of the Heavenly Dao, even if the soldiers did not mean what they said and secretly talked about Kenshin, it was not allowed.
Even if they had disrespectful or hateful thoughts toward Kenshin, directly or indirectly harmed Kenshin's interests, or passively treated Kenshin's orders, they would be punished by the heavens!
But anyone who made the Oath of the Heavenly Dao must be loyal to Kenshin wholeheartedly. Otherwise, they would be reduced to ashes!
The 20,000 soldiers suddenly understood. No wonder those 190 Divine Kings, their leaders were all so obedient and were very respectful toward Kenshin.
It turned out that it was all the effect of the Oath of the Heavenly Dao!
The plaza experienced a brief silence. Some soldiers with stronger mental fortitude began to recite the oath of surrender.
The other soldiers came back to their senses. They were afraid that they would show too much hesitation and resistance, and be killed on the spot as a warning to others …
Therefore, they did not hesitate anymore and hurriedly recited the oath loudly.
The plaza immediately became lively, clamorous, and a boiling cauldron of voices.
The order in which the 20,000 soldiers recited the oath was different. Their voices were either loud or soft and were not uniform.
Just by listening to the voices, it was very hard to distinguish who recited the oath and who muddled through.
But one thing was very obvious. They could clearly distinguish who was reciting the Oath of the Heavenly Dao.
That was … when the Oath of the Heavenly Dao was recited halfway, divine light would light up all over the person reciting it. Dao rhymes would appear above their heads.
This was the most obvious mark.
There was no need for Ji Tianxing to supervise and check. The 190 Divine King experts consciously carried out their duty of supervision.
Even though 99% of the soldiers were very honest, there were still a dozen or so soldiers who played tricks. They pretended to be reciting the oath, but in reality, they were spouting nonsense.
A few Divine King experts pulled those people out and killed them on the spot. Their methods were even more ruthless than Ji Tianxing's.
This action indeed intimidated all the soldiers, causing them to be filled with fear. No one dared to play tricks anymore.
Even those who spoke slowly were so frightened that they hurriedly sped up and finished reciting the oath of surrender as soon as possible.
Even so, it took a full 15 minutes for the 20,000 soldiers to recite the oath of surrender one after another.
Everyone was enveloped by divine light, and a wisp of faintly discernible Dao rhymes appeared above their heads.
In the sky above Youdu City, thunderbolts that covered the sky and earth appeared again. They flashed and boomed continuously.
Youdu City, which was almost drowned by the lightning in the sky, fell into panic once again. The million citizens were on tenterhooks as they discussed quietly.
The 30,000 soldiers guarding the city still didn't know what was going on. They were also very flustered and worried, and they all sent messages to the god generals to report.
Those soldiers guarding the city would never have thought that their generals had long pledged their loyalty to the Kenshin.
Hence, the reply that the 30,000 soldiers received was also very easy to guess.
Naturally, it was for them to remain calm and not panic.
When the soldiers guarding the city received the reply, they were still skeptical. However, there was nothing they could do. They could only stick to their posts.
Not long later, the 20,000 soldiers of the Netherworld Divine Palace had all surrendered. The entire Netherworld Divine Palace had completely fallen into Ji Tianxing's control.
He also appeared openly and didn't need to hide anymore.
At this point, the plan to swallow the whale was more than half completed.
As long as he subdued the 30,000 soldiers guarding the city, it would be over.
