Qin Chen knew that within their bodies, they all possessed a special power, a power that was terrifyingly capable of enslavement, which could directly cause backlash, leading to their souls scattering.
Even Elder Gu Xu had this power within him; otherwise, Qin Chen would have long since enslaved Elder Gu Xu and extracted everything he knew about the Tian Gong's spies and the Demon Tribe.
By the time one reached the venerable realm, their essence had already transcended the heavenly realm's path of heaven, making enslavement not so easy.
“Master, let me take a look,” the Blood River Saint Ancestor stepped forward. Instantly, a blood-colored power enveloped the bodies of the few individuals. After a moment, the Blood River Saint Ancestor narrowed his eyes and said, “Master, there should not be just one type of power within their bodies, but rather two strange powers fused together. Although this power is not abundant, it is extremely terrifying, deeply imprinted in the depths of their souls, intertwined with their destinies. It is a form of restraint, not to be taken lightly, and this power should come from the Demon Tribe.”
“Right, Qin Chen, isn’t that lord of the Abyssal Demons here as well? He might know something,” the Primordial Ancestral Dragon suddenly said.
Qin Chen was struck with a thought; indeed, the lord of the Abyssal Demons might know something. Immediately, Qin Chen waved his right hand, and suddenly, the lord of the Abyssal Demons appeared here out of thin air.
“Master,” the lord of the Abyssal Demons knelt before Qin Chen, his demeanor respectful.
“This... such rich aura of the Abyss Demon Tribe?” Feeling the power emanating from the lord of the Abyssal Demons, the Feather Demon Earth Venerable was almost going crazy. What did he see? An expert of the Abyss Demon Tribe addressing Qin Chen as Master?
“Lord of the Abyssal Demons, you are the heir of the Abyss Demon Tribe and know many secrets of the tribe. Come and take a look at the restraints within these people’s souls,” Qin Chen commanded.
“Yes, Master,” the lord of the Abyssal Demons stepped forward.
Heir of the Abyss Demon Tribe? Lord of the Abyssal Demons?
Suddenly, the Feather Demon Earth Venerable seemed to think of something and his expression turned horrified. “You are the lord of the Abyssal Demons? How is that possible? Didn't you die long ago?”
The lord of the Abyssal Demons was the son of the current leader of the Demon Tribe, Yuanmo Ancestor. It was rumored that he had fallen many years ago; how could he appear here and become Qin Chen's servant? If this were to get out, it would cause an uproar throughout the entire Demon Tribe.
The lord of the Abyssal Demons remained silent as a surge of Abyss Demon power rapidly integrated into the bodies of these individuals. After a moment, he raised his head and said, “Master, each of these people has the top-tier restraint of our Abyss Demon Tribe, the Demonic Soul Curse. Those who have been implanted with the Demonic Soul Curse cannot betray the Demon Tribe. If any secrets are leaked, their souls will instantly scatter, and neither gods nor demons can save them.”
“The Demonic Soul Curse? Is there any way to break it?” Qin Chen frowned.
“The Demonic Soul Curse can generally not be implanted by ordinary people; it can only be sown using our Demon Tribe's sacred artifact, the Demonic Soul Source Artifact, and it requires a supreme-level expert to unleash its terrifying power. If I were at my peak, there might have been a slim chance to break it, but now... The Demonic Soul Source Artifact is a sacred artifact of the Demon Tribe, and I cannot defy its power,” the lord of the Abyssal Demons shook his head. Suddenly, he paused.
“Wait!” The lord of the Abyssal Demons looked towards the Myriad Realms Demon Tree. “If the Myriad Realms Demon Tree assists, there might be a chance.”
The Demonic Soul Source Artifact is a sacred artifact of the Demon Tribe, but the Myriad Realms Demon Tree is the ancestral tree of the Demon Tribe. Using the Myriad Realms Demon Tree may counteract the power of the Demonic Soul Source Artifact.
