At the brink of life and death, Yang Yan naturally would not care about this minor loss.

The problem was that even if Yang Yan was willing to give, this Primordial Spirit would have to form a Soul Contract with him to receive it.

The connection of their souls would then allow the transfer of each other’s Soul Power.

How could Yang Yan care about these things?

Survival was naturally the priority!

He urged the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, "What are you waiting for? Hurry and finish the binding process with me."

However, at such a crucial moment, the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit hesitated and did not act immediately.

In fact, the Void Devouring Race was an esteemed existence throughout the Star Realm.

Even in death, their pride did not allow their bloodline to be tainted.

Though Yang Yan was the prophesied Child of Prophecy, the chosen one, under current circumstances, he seemed unworthy of forming a contract with them.

After all, the strongest bond of a Soul Contract meant that from then on, both parties were bound to live and die together.

Therefore, even in this predicament, it was being cautious.

The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit was still mulling it over, and Yang Yan knew exactly what it was hesitating about.

With a bitter smile, Yang Yan said seriously, "I know you’re questioning my abilities, and I can certainly understand that. However, you haven’t been with me for long, and your knowledge of me is very limited."

"Do you know, I have only been cultivating for a mere few years, and I have already reached such a level, back then..."

Then, relying on his bold rhetoric, Yang Yan continuously communicated telepathically, revealing his extraordinary past.

However, this fellow kept a cautious mindset, wanting to take the lead in the opportunity.

Yang Yan immediately saw through the small ploys of this Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit.

But he didn’t say much.

For these Primordial Spirits, strength was paramount, and power was the hard truth.

In simple terms, his strength wasn’t enough, and he lacked the means to win the other’s trust.

When he got serious and expressed his remarkable and dominating insights, it left it unable to refute.

To verify this, he directly transmitted parts of his thrilling past to it.

"See, I wasn’t lying to you, right? The situation is urgent, stop hesitating! If we delay any longer, we really might die here today."

Upon realizing that these experiences were just the tip of Yang Yan’s iceberg, the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit’s view of Yang Yan changed.

It simply cast aside all its shackles and swiftly formed the Soul Contract with Yang Yan.

The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit faced Yang Yan, while Yang Yan controlled a drop of his essence blood onto the king character on its forehead, then recited a complicated spell.

Suddenly, behind Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, their souls appeared.

Yang Yan’s soul looked much like his body, albeit shifty and indistinct.

The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit’s form was that of the Flying Divine Tiger.

"I, Yang Yan, willingly form a Soul Contract with the Void-Devouring Tiger."

"I, Void-Devouring Tiger, willingly form a Soul Contract with Yang Yan."

As the words fell, a blinding light enveloped Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit.

A moment later, the Soul Contract was completed.

Even though Yang Yan’s cultivation was currently not high, could the potential of someone who could kill from the Forgotten Land to the cultivation world be any less?

This Primordial Spirit was so shocked it was thoughtless, and it wasn’t until after the contract was completed did it realize it had signed a master-servant type Soul Contract with Yang Yan.

Specifically, Yang Yan’s soul was the main, and itself as the subordinate.

Though it did not affect the exchange of Soul Power between them, Yang Yan now truly controlled its life and death.

Unless Yang Yan, as the master, was willing to sever the contract, if he perished, it also would join him in burial.

It originally wanted to form an equivalent type of contract with relatively lighter restrictions, but under Yang Yan’s intimidation, a momentary lapse has led to eternal regret.

Actually, Yang Yan also thought of forming an equivalent contract, not wishing to take advantage of it.

The souls of the contract parties could only perceive each other; regardless of which party died, it wouldn’t impact the other, though it could unilaterally break the contract forcefully.

However, comparatively, the restraining relationship is much weaker, failing to fully exert the real power of a Soul Contract.

Ultimately, Yang Yan decided that, during the forging of the Soul Contract, he would take the lead to gain absolute advantage.

Though he briefly felt like he was kidnapping a child, he soon came to terms with it.

He told the somewhat sullen Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit:

"You’re merely worried I won’t make you do anything against your faith, and if your reasons are strong enough, you can even refuse my requests."

"I’ll greatly respect your freedom. Moreover, there’s plenty of opportunities staying by my side, you can rest assured."

"Furthermore, I’ll try my best to help you enhance your cultivation, and I’ll make every effort to ensure your safety."

After receiving Yang Yan’s promises, the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit thought for a moment before speaking: "Let it be so, I’ll also do my best to assist you."

"Moreover, regarding my requests, I hope you try your best to fulfill them. I will definitely not be cannon fodder."

"If you insist on making me cannon fodder, I would rather you use the contract’s power to kill me than you succeeding."

Yang Yan chuckled lightly, nodded and said, "No problem, I can promise you these, do you have any other requests, speak up quickly."

The Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit tilted its head and pondered for a while, then shook its head:

"I can’t think of anything else for now, if I think of something later, you must agree."

"Of course, in the future, I’ll make only one more request, and it won’t trouble you..."

"Hmm... also, remember to dissolve the contract before you die; I don’t want to be buried with you."

Yang Yan readily agreed, "Okay, no problem, I agree to everything, is that alright now?"

After making the promise, Yang Yan continuously transferred his Soul Power to the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit.

Upon receiving Yang Yan’s support, it suddenly accelerated, its aura climbing steadily until it stopped growing upon reaching the late-stage Foundation Establishment strength.

This Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit charged full speed towards the spatial rift at the exit, almost catching up with the collapsing passage’s speed.

As the endpoint of the Space Passage drew closer, the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit burnt its soul to build a space shield that remained unyielding.

Time ticked away, as Yang Yan continued to transfer his Soul Power to the Void-Devouring Tiger Spirit, and the distance to the endpoint steadily decreased.

Thus, within the Space Passage, emerged a soul spirit carrying a person racing against the space collapse in this thrilling spectacle.

But just as they were about to reach the fissure at the end of the passage, large masses of dark Demonic Qi suddenly surged out from the shattered space, rapidly enveloping the entire passage.

Though Yang Yan sensed something amiss, he couldn’t react in time and was swallowed by the Demonic Qi along with his pet.
