Although Yuan Xu was dressed like a monk, the deathly aura around him was extremely dense. He was basically a monstrous evil spirit. Where was the benevolence of Buddhism?
"Ye Xuan, you didn't expect that a Holy Monk of a generation would fall to such a state, did you?"
Yuan Xu laughed miserably as he stared at Ye Xuan. His eyes were filled with jealousy, venomous hatred, and a deep sense of unwillingness. When these emotions intertwined, it made Yuan Xu look even more ferocious and terrifying.
"I, Yuan Xu, am a monstrous talent and an unprecedented genius. I started practicing Buddhism at the age of four, stepped into the Qi Refining stage at the age of fourteen, entered the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixty, reached the Golden Core stage at the age of one hundred, and finally stepped into the Nascent Soul stage at the age of five hundred."
"I thought that within a thousand years, I would be able to step into the Tribulation Stage and transcend the Heavenly Tribulation with the supreme Buddhist Dharma, ascending to the legendary Earth Immortal Realm."
Yuan Xu's face twisted as he spoke. He looked at Ye Xuan with eyes filled with unimaginable jealousy and hatred. He roared, "But the world is ending and there is no path to immortality. My body is withering and my cultivation is dissipating. I can't accept this, I can't accept this. I can't accept this. I, Yuan Xu, can't become a Buddha. Why must I die of old age like a mortal?"
Yuan Xu's eyes widened. They were filled with blood-red light, as if he had fallen into a distant memory.
"The fear of death made me question Buddhism. I even set my sights on the evil spirits in the Demon Suppressing Tower. Because their cultivation was unparalleled and they had committed heinous crimes, I swallowed their flesh and blood and forcefully suppressed their Blood Spirit Essence in my body to slow down the aging of my body. For thousands of years, I have been practicing the Buddhist Dharma in this dark Demon Suppressing Tower. That's how I managed to survive until today."
As Yuan Xu spoke up to here, he looked at Ye Xuan with sinister and jealous eyes. He roared, "What about you, Ye Xuan? You're just a junior of this generation. I don't know what kind of opportunity you had, but you've become a Tribulation Stage cultivator and mastered the legendary Divine Arts. "
"I can't accept this. I don't understand why a junior like you can set foot on the Tongtian path of immortality, while I, the holy monk of Yuan Xu, have to submit to you?"
Yuan Xu roared at Ye Xuan. His eyes were red and the jealousy on his face was extremely vicious. He looked at Ye Xuan as if he wanted to eat Ye Xuan's flesh and drink Ye Xuan's blood.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan's eyes were emotionless. He had already understood what Yuan Xu had gone through. A deep look flashed across his eyes as he looked at Yuan Xu.
"The story is very interesting, and it also explains the sorrow of your life. Unfortunately, I, Ye Xuan, am not a kind person, nor am I here to listen to your story. Since you are not willing to submit to me, then I will personally send you on your way."
Weng!
The void collapsed and blood soared. Ye Xuan's face was cold and emotionless. His palm glowed. This was the light of the Soul Slaying God Destroying. It could destroy Yuan Xu's primordial spirit and prevent him from reincarnating.
In Ye Xuan's eyes, there was no such thing as friend or foe. Anyone who dared to oppose him was a dead man. There had never been an exception.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, before Ye Xuan could make a move, Yuan Xu spoke. Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes but did not release the Soul Slaying God Destroying Light in his hand.
Bang!
Under Ye Xuan's gaze, Yuan Xu's vicious expression disappeared. His expression was very calm, so calm that there were no ripples. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ye Xuan.
"I am willing to submit to you, but you have to promise me one thing. If you ascend and become an immortal in the future and are no longer in this world, I hope that you can impart your skills to me."
Yuan Xu did not want to die. He really did not want to die. He had bitterly endured for thousands of years, lingering at death's door until he finally obtained the Blood Qi Devouring Technique and could once again embark on the path of immortal cultivation. How could he be willing to die in Ye Xuan's hands?
The reason he roared at Ye Xuan just now was to vent the unwillingness and jealousy in his heart. This was because he couldn't accept it. He, a dignified holy monk, actually had to submit to a junior from this world.
However, Yuan Xu was also very smart. He could recognize reality very clearly. If he did not submit to Ye Xuan, he would only end up dead. In the face of the so-called choice between dignity and life, he chose life.
Bang!
All of a sudden!
Before Yuan Xu could react, a blood-red light directly slapped him away, causing him to spit out a mouthful of black blood. The Yin Light and Death Qi that surrounded him also exploded with a bang.
Ye Xuan strolled over until he was in front of Yuan Xu. His broad foot suddenly stomped on Yuan Xu's face, continuously crushing it with force.
"Remember, your life is in my hands. You have no right to negotiate with me. If it weren't for the fact that you still have some use, do you think you would still be alive now?"
Ye Xuan said sinisterly. Killing intent shot out from his eyes. As long as Yuan Xu had the slightest bit of unwillingness, he did not mind killing him on the spot.
In Ye Xuan's eyes, while geniuses were rare, they were also wild and untamed. A disobedient genius was of no use to Ye Xuan, so it was better to directly kill him. That was the best method.
Yuan Xu's face flushed red from being stomped on by Ye Xuan. However, he could completely hear the killing intent in Ye Xuan's voice. Even though he was infuriated and embarrassed, he still spoke with a trembling voice, "Mas … Master … Yuan Xu was wrong … Master, please show mercy."
"Remember, this is the first and last time. If you have any ulterior motives, I will send you to the underworld and let you be roasted by Nether Flames for eternity. You will never be able to reincarnate."
Ye Xuan said coldly as he moved his foot away, allowing Yuan Xu to quickly stand up. He did not dare to show even the slightest bit of hatred on his face.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a blood red talisman shot towards Yuan Xu. Before he could even dodge, the blood red talisman had fused into the center of his forehead. It caused Yuan Xu's expression to change drastically, and a wisp of despair appeared in his eyes.
"This is a blood-red contract. If you work for me loyally, this blood-red contract will be useless. However, if you have any ulterior motives, even if we are thousands of miles apart, I can still destroy your soul."
Trust? That did not exist. Not in this lifetime.
Ye Xuan would never trust anyone. He deeply understood that only by controlling a person's greatest weakness would they not betray him.
Take Yuan Xu, for example. Thousands of years ago, he was a holy monk who had founded the Little Thunder Temple.
However, he was greedy for life and afraid of death. He wanted to embark on the path to immortality. Even if he had to become a Buddha, he would not hesitate. Death was Yuan Xu's greatest weakness. Ye Xuan had grasped this very well and firmly controlled him.
"Now, leave this place with me," Ye Xuan said indifferently. He turned and walked out of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Watching Ye Xuan's departing figure, Yuan Xu's expression was extremely complicated. In the end, he sighed and quickly chased after Ye Xuan.
In truth, Yuan Xu's so-called submission was only a temporary measure. He was waiting for Ye Xuan to let his guard down. Then, he would definitely flee. How could he truly recognize Ye Xuan as his master?
