I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 561 - 359: Divine Soul Enslavement_2

If he were to reincarnate one or two more times, he would likely wear out his primordial essence and lose the potential to awaken again.

After so many reincarnations, one could say his appearance and soul essence had completely transformed.

Logically, even those Demon Generals who had served under the Demon Lord alongside him would find it extremely difficult to recognize him.

How did Lu Qing manage to see through his disguise?

And who was he, really?

The Demon Cultivator was utterly baffled, yet Lu Qing had no intention of explaining.

Instead, he said indifferently, "Demon Child, stop wasting your effort; your little schemes cannot escape my eyes.

I’ve come here for one thing only.

If you release the talismans from those few Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples that you control outside, perhaps I will grant you a swift end.

But if you refuse, I will refine your Divine Soul,

leaving your True Spirit obliterated with no chance for reincarnation."

"Are you here for those mere ants?" the Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul was startled.

He hadn’t expected Lu Qing to come for such a trivial matter.

However, a glimmer of hope soon emerged in his heart.

Perhaps this was his chance to escape his predicament.

"Exactly, so are you willing or not?"

"If Your Excellency wishes me to release the talismans on their bodies, it’s not impossible.

Promise me with a Divine Soul oath that you will let me go, and I agree to your terms!"

With these words, the entire Spiritual Artifact Space suddenly fell silent.

Lu Qing quietly observed the wisp of the Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul without speaking.

After examining the depths of the Demon Cultivator’s soul until he felt uneasy, he slowly said, "Demon Child, it seems I was not clear enough.

I meant that if you release the talismans from their bodies, I could leave you a remnant of your True Spirit so you could reincarnate.

If you refuse, then I will obliterate your True Spirit as well!"

"Impossible, once the Divine Soul is obliterated, even if the True Spirit remains, what use is it!

Even if I reincarnated, it would no longer be me.

Boy, if you don’t leave me a way to live, then we both part ways!

But I’ll tell you, as soon as my Divine Soul is obliterated, those few ants outside will surely die as well, serving as my funeral companions!"

However, before the fluctuations of the Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul settled, countless flames suddenly appeared around him.

Accompanying them were Lu Qing’s icy words, "What gave you the illusion that you have the status to negotiate terms with me?

Or do you really think that I would succumb to your threats for the sake of those few ants?

Since you’re unwilling, then go to your death!"

After that, those countless flames surged towards the Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul.

As they drew near, strands of black Qi appeared above the Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul and were utterly refined.

"Ah!!!"

The Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul had not expected Lu Qing to turn hostile without any room for negotiation.

Feeling his own Demonic Qi essence continuously being refined, he knew that once it was entirely dissipated, he would truly plummet into oblivion.

"Your Excellency, let’s discuss this!" the Demon Cultivator’s Divine Soul shouted shrilly, "Even if you refine me, it won’t benefit you in any way.

I know you must be here for Wei Zihao, as he is the son of your close friend.

If he dies, surely you won’t be able to explain yourself to your friend.

Since that’s the case, let’s both take a step back.

If you promise not to refine this wisp of my Divine Soul, I am willing to open my Heart and Spirit, and serve you as my master, becoming your servant!"

In his desperation to survive, the Demon Cultivator couldn’t care less about anything else.

Even if it meant becoming Lu Qing’s slave, it was still better than dying.

As long as he could live, there was still hope.

"Very well, then release your Heart and Spirit now, and let me imprint a Divine Soul mark!"

Lu Qing’s voice came, cold and merciless.

This time, the Demon Cultivator dared not hesitate at all.

As he pleaded, Lu Qing did not slow down the refinement of his Divine Soul.

If he did not make a decision quickly, he feared he wouldn’t last a few more moments before completely perishing.

The Demon Cultivator fully opened his Heart and Spirit without hesitation.

At the moment his Heart and Spirit opened, almost instantaneously, a Divine Soul Enslavement Mark descended from the heavens and struck the True Spirit Core of the Demon Cultivator.

Simultaneously, the raging Spiritual Fire that had been scorching his Divine Soul instantly dissipated.

It was as if it had never appeared, everything laid down was just an illusion to the Demon Cultivator.

However, the Demon Cultivator knew it was not an illusion.

Because in that brief moment of scorching, two-thirds of his Divine Soul’s essence had dissipated.

He was barely spared, almost having been completely refined.

"Greetings, Master!"

Feeling the Divine Soul Enslavement Mark on his True Spirit Core, the Demon Cultivator did not dare to delay, disregarding his weakened Divine Soul, and bowed to Lu Qing.

His True Spirit now marked, he was completely enslaved by Lu Qing, with no room left to resist.

"Very good, now release the talismans on Wei Zihao and the others,"

Lu Qing did not show sympathy for the Demon Cultivator’s weakened Divine Soul but instead directly commanded.

The Demon Cultivator’s heart jerked, and he cautiously said, "I dare not deceive Master, I am too weak now without my Physical Body.

I am unable to perform the spell and might not be able to release the talismans on Wei Zihao and the others for now."

"So, you were deceiving me before?" asked Lu Qing coldly.

The Demon Cultivator was greatly frightened and hastily explained, "I did not intend to deceive Master, it was merely a desperate measure earlier.

Rest assured, Master, as soon as my Divine Soul Power recovers a bit, I will immediately release the talismans on Wei Zihao and the others."

"And how can you recover?" Lu Qing asked.

The Demon Cultivator hesitated, then carefully responded, "If I could absorb some Primordial Demon Qi, I should be able to recover quickly."

"This matter we’ll set aside. Let me think it over!

Besides this, isn’t there another way to remove the talismans, or at least stop them from draining their Life Energy?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing knew the intentions of the Demon Cultivator.

Naturally, the one of the same origin with the Demon Cultivator was his own Demon Body.

However, thinking of the implications, Lu Qing did not want him to return to his Demon Body just yet.

After all, this Demon had a profound background, hailing from the mysterious Heavenly Origin Great World.

Although now enslaved by his Divine Soul, who knew whether he had a Secret Technique to break free from the enslavement.

There are no certainties in this world; without absolute assurance, Lu Qing was not looking to complicate matters.

"Master’s teachings are correct!"

Though disappointed, the Demon Cultivator knew that having just been enslaved, it wouldn’t be easy to gain Lu Qing’s trust.

Hence, he did not show it, instead humbly saying, "If not completely removing the talismans and merely stopping their operation, that’s much simpler.

One just needs to know how to control the spell, and I shall teach it to Master right now."

Saying this, the Demon Cultivator transmitted a Divine Soul Fluctuation to Lu Qing through the Divine Soul Enslavement Mark on his True Spirit.

The Divine Soul Enslavement Mark was the key connection between the two.

It allowed the master and slave to communicate through the Heart and Spirit at any moment.

However, such a connection only acknowledged a hierarchy.

The enslaved could not sense any activities of the master.

Even when communicating through the Heart and Spirit, he could only transmit thoughts in the form of requests.

Whether the other side accepts or not, that is up to the master’s mood.

On the other hand, as the Master, Lu Qing had absolute initiative.

He could sense the changes in the thoughts of the Demon Cultivator whenever he pleased and could even control the thoughts to make him self-destruct his Divine Soul instantaneously.

Moreover, if the Demon Cultivator fell, it would have no effect on him, but if he died, the Demon Cultivator would also perish.

Such was the terror of Divine Soul Enslavement.

Unless absolutely necessary, or there really was no other way, no Cultivator would willingly accept such enslavement.

As he received the thoughts from the Demon Cultivator, this message also appeared in Lu Qing’s mind.

He did not hesitate and chose to simulate the download.
