Chapter 441 - 412: One Trillion Faith Points
"Boom——"
As Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s words had just fallen, a terrifying force descended upon him, causing his barely standing body to be instantly pressed flat to the ground.
The overwhelming Heavenly might left Demon Venerable Xuan Yin both shocked and furious.
Gu Qingyang’s expression was indifferent: "It seems you haven’t figured out your identity, or perhaps, this Emperor can try and see if it’s possible to slay a twelfth-rank True Immortal powerhouse.
It is said that immortals can live forever, but they are not truly invincible. As long as the power is sufficient, I believe eradicating an immortal is not impossible. Would you like to try it?"
"The power of the Heavenly Dao... You are the Heavenly Dao of this world; you can even achieve Body and Dao Integration. No wonder... no wonder you claim to be immortal. So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is——"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was so shocked that his words were incomplete.
Body and Dao Integration!
This is something that not many powerhouses in the Upper Realm can achieve.
After all, the risks of Harmonization are immeasurable, and it is easy to be assimilated by the forces of a world. Such traces of time cannot be easily resisted by mere strength.
But at the same time.
Once Body and Dao Integration is achieved.
The benefits are also very apparent.
The greatest benefit is being within the world, able to use the power of the world’s rules against enemies, which means being invincible to a certain extent.
At this point, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin finally understood why he was being so severely suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. It turned out that there was a Harmonizer in this world.
After the shock.
In the heart of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, there was a long-lost fear.
"Please do not be angry, Your Excellency, I am merely making a suggestion, yes, just a suggestion!"
This powerful Ancient Celestial Demon quickly cowered.
Just kidding.
No cultivator below the tenth rank can truly slay a True Immortal, but that only refers to ordinary ones, which definitely does not include the existence of a Harmonizer.
Any Harmonizer cannot be measured by common sense.
In other words.
If Gu Qingyang really wanted to kill him, even Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was not sure he could survive.
If being eternally sealed and suppressed is something Demon Venerable Xuan Yin fears, then compared to death, he would prefer to be sealed.
At least.
He could still live.
Yet Gu Qingyang’s expression remained indifferent, and the terrifying pressure descended on him, and the shadow of death loomed over him, causing great fear in Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s heart.
Living long does not mean not fearing death.
On the contrary.
The longer one lives, the more they cherish their life.
"If you spare my life, I can do many things. In the battle with the powerful beings of the Upper Realm, many fell, but many were also sealed in various places in the Starry Sky. As long as I’m here, perhaps I can find their whereabouts.
Moreover, I have lived through countless epochs and am well aware of matters in the Upper Realm. If you have any questions about it, I can answer them.
Sparing my life is far more useful than killing me."
To survive, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had no regard for dignity, pleading quite bluntly.
Though such actions were disgraceful, it was better than losing his life.
After speaking.
Gu Qingyang’s indifferent expression seemed to change slightly but still remained extremely cold: "How can this Emperor believe your words?"
Upon hearing this.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s expression changed unpredictably.
The pressure of the Heavenly Dao and the extremely terrifying power circled around like nightmares. At this moment, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin also understood that there was no way he could escape.
After a long time.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin seemed to make some major decision, sighed, and then a drop of Essence Blood appeared from his forehead. As the Essence Blood detached, it seemed to transform into a miniature version of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.
"This is my Essence Blood Origin. If this Origin is destroyed, then I will also perish. Simultaneously, if you integrate this Essence Blood Origin and subsequently die, I will perish as well.
With this, I believe you should be able to trust me!"
Hearing this.
Gu Qingyang looked at the miniature version of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, and the Eye of Heavenly Dao activated once more.
Suddenly.
The corresponding information appeared in his view.
...
Name: Essence Blood Origin
Rank: Twelfth Rank
Origin: The Essence Blood Origin of the Ancient Celestial Demon. Upon integration, you can control the life of the Ancient Celestial Demon!
...
Seeing this.
Gu Qingyang confirmed that the Essence Blood Origin was without issues and directly absorbed it into his body. Instantly, he discovered a slight connection had formed between him and Demon Venerable Xuan Yin. It seemed as though a mere thought could cause the other to be utterly obliterated.
In other words.
The life and death of the Ancient Celestial Demon before him were entirely under his control.
For a moment.
Gu Qingyang wanted to try and see how much Evolution Value devouring a heavily injured Ancient Celestial Demon could bring.
But after considering it.
He abandoned the idea.
After all, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was not at his peak, and devouring him might bring only limited benefits.
Compared to a dead Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, a living one was truly more useful.
Not to mention Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s strength, the knowledge in his mind was what Gu Qingyang needed.
At this point.
The pressure of the Heavenly Dao suddenly dissipated.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin nimbly got up from the ground and adeptly approached Gu Qingyang, saying with a flattering smile, "Divine Emperor, if there is anything you need in the future, just command, and I shall certainly obey!"
"..."
Gu Qingyang was somewhat speechless.
He realized that this Ancient Celestial Demon was truly flexible, seemingly not caring about face at all.
However.
It is often such people who can live longer.
Even though Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had been sealed for countless epochs, surviving until now certainly showed he had some abilities, so Gu Qingyang did not truly underestimate him.
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingyang looked at Demon Venerable Xuan Yin and said indifferently, "This Emperor gives you a chance. Within a day, develop a devout faith in this Emperor. Otherwise, this Emperor will end your life!"
"..."
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s face immediately turned stiff upon hearing this.
Develop faith?
What kind of request is this?
He thought that handing over his Essence Blood Origin would spare his life, but he did not expect such a demand to await him.
In an instant.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin felt immense fear, and while looking at Gu Qingyang, he tried to envision him as a majestic existence, like a supreme creator.
At the same time.
A prompt appeared in Gu Qingyang’s mind.
"Demon Venerable Xuan Yin has become your follower, and you have gained one trillion points of Faith Power!"
"Boom——"
Vast Faith Power surged, and thick golden lines of faith appeared from Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s head, converging into Gu Qingyang’s Essence Divine Tree.
