He thought for a long time and realized that this was the only way. Only by doing this would Qin Chen trust them. This was not about good or evil; in a place like the Heaven Realm, anyone facing such a situation would have no other choice.
Qin Chen sighed. Although he valued Ao Lie and the others, and they had never betrayed him, they knew too many secrets. Naturally, he couldn't just let them leave so easily.
Having Ao Lie and the others submit to him was the best solution.
"In that case, I will accept. From today on, Ao Lie, your Cangxuan City will work for me. Rest assured, I never treat anyone unfairly."
Qin Chen said arrogantly, raising his hand.
Buzz! Suddenly, the entire Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree radiated light, releasing terrifying black demonic light. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, these black lights turned into fist-sized spheres, falling in front of each strong individual from Cangxuan City.
There were eighteen spheres in total, including Luo Wei and the other two from the three major cities, leaving only eighteen people present.
"These black spheres are the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source born from the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree. If you are willing to submit to me, there's no need for an oath. Just consume the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source, and my aura will remain within your body. From then on, you will be unable to betray me. Any thought of betrayal will cause the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source to explode, resulting in your instant death."
"Of course, the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source is formed from the immense power absorbed by the demon treasure, the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, from the Yan Luo Holy Lord. It contains the ultimate mysteries of heaven and earth. By consuming it, you will gain great benefits, and your future will be limitless."
"Think it over carefully. If you wish to accept, swallow the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source."
Qin Chen said.
Naturally, he couldn't afford to expend soul power to enslave everyone present, but fortunately, there was the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source.
Never betray Qin Chen?
Many strong individuals from Cangxuan City hesitated.
After all, who among those who could become Earth Saint-level experts would willingly submit to others?
"I am willing."
At this moment, Ao Qingling was the first to speak up, and without waiting for anyone's reaction, she swallowed the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source.
Buzz! Instantly, terrifying demonic light surged around her, but there was no trace of Demon Tribe aura. The demon of the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree was the demon of the Heavenly Dao, a rule, a mystery of the universe's operation.
This power was deciphering the most fundamental forces of heaven and earth, rapidly expanding Ao Qingling's aura and transforming her understanding of the world.
The Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source was transforming Ao Qingling.
"Everyone, swallow it."
Ao Lie remained calm and swallowed the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source directly.
Seeing this, the other strong individuals from Cangxuan City had no choice but to consume the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source.
Immediately, demonic light burst forth from each of them, flickering with supreme power, as if they had glimpsed the ultimate truth of the Dao.
Boom! Ao Lie's body radiated a series of terrifying auras, and he even touched the Heavenly Saint Realm. In fact, the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source didn't contain much power, but it held the highest Heavenly Dao, allowing Ao Lie to explore deeper levels of the universe on his own.
It wasn't just Ao Lie; everyone's aura surged as they sat cross-legged in enlightenment.
Qin Chen nodded slightly.
With the integration of the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source, this group of people could never betray him. However, their futures also became broader, as the Ten Thousand Realms Demonic Source would enlighten them, granting each individual immense harvests.
For someone like Ao Lie, he had a high chance of stepping into the Heavenly Saint Realm, while others could become supreme Earth Saints in a short time, though it would take more time to step into the Heavenly Saint Realm.
