Chapter 100: First Steps on the Demonic Path (12)
Su Chen's heart sank. A man like Zhou Hao—a true hegemon—would never trust anyone so easily. A mere soul tether was far from enough.
He had once read about the Slave Seal Pill in ancient records from the Central Continent's Pill God Hall. It was an utterly vicious poison pill. Once swallowed, it would slowly erode the mind until the consumer became utterly obedient to whoever held the master seal. The method of breaking it…
"Are you… unwilling to submit to this seat?"
Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes. His towering figure loomed like a god or demon, his presence crashing down like an avalanche.
Su Chen accepted the Slave Seal Pill and swallowed it without hesitation. "This disciple is naturally willing to submit to the Sacred Lord."
Only after watching Su Chen consume the pill did Zhou Hao withdraw his killing intent. He spoke calmly. "From now on, you belong to this seat. This seat requires your cooperation to wipe out every last member of the Primordial Remnant Clan."
Su Chen nodded. After leaving the Sun-Devouring Hall, his mood was grim. A hegemon who had risen to Sacred Lord in a place as brutal as the Sun-Devouring Sacred Land was naturally far more dangerous than any opponent he had faced in his previous lives—cautious, ruthless, and terrifyingly powerful. That he even possessed something as vicious as the Slave Seal Pill spoke volumes. He had to refine the antidote before the pill's effects overwhelmed his state of mind!
Zhou Hao might be a hegemon, but he had overlooked one crucial fact. Su Chen was not merely the twenty-something Zhou Chen. He was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. For an ordinary will, the Slave Seal Pill might fully enslave the mind in three to five months.
But Su Chen had endured lifetime after lifetime of reincarnation and tribulation. His state of mind had long been forged into unbreakable steel. How could he possibly submit so easily?
