Qin Chen knew that he wouldn't care; he just coldly looked at the Profound Ghost Old Demon below.
At this moment, the Profound Ghost Old Demon lay slumped on the ground, trembling all over. Once an invincible powerhouse, he now resembled a beggar on the roadside, kneeling beside Qin Chen, as if he had completely submitted.
Qin Chen took a step forward. His devilish footsteps caused the Profound Ghost Old Demon to shudder involuntarily.
"Lift your head," Qin Chen said coldly.
The Profound Ghost Old Demon raised his gaze slightly. The once unyielding and proud look in his eyes had completely vanished, leaving only a look of humiliation.
"It seems there is still a trace of unwillingness in your heart?" Qin Chen sneered.
"I dare not," the Profound Ghost Old Demon trembled and hurriedly replied, his mind recalling the unbearable pain and torment he had previously endured.
But how could he be willing?
Once he became a slave, he would completely lose his freedom and become someone else's dog. How could he accept this as the master of a forbidden zone in a forsaken land?
Qin Chen's eyes were indifferent: "If you are unwilling, I will not force you. You can end your own life; I will not refuse. But if you sincerely submit, then let us merge our paths."
"Merging paths?"
The Profound Ghost Old Demon raised his head in surprise, "Does that mean no slave mark?"
In the Underworld, normal submission involved placing a slave mark to control another's soul.
"Hmph, idiot."
At this moment, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor stepped forward and coldly laughed, "Submitting to Young Master Chen requires no slave mark. Instead, it involves merging your path with this Inner World, integrating your Dao with Young Master Chen's world. Young Master Chen is a Cosmic Reincarnator, and within this world, he possesses the rules and Dao of the cosmic sea of the Yang realm. Once merged, it will allow the rules within you to blend the yin and yang, bringing you an incredible gain."
"It can be said that once you merge, the benefits for you will be unparalleled. If it weren't in this forsaken land, Young Master Chen would not even look at you, an old ghost, while you foolishly cling to your so-called pride. How pathetic."
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor said disdainfully.
"Cosmic Reincarnator? Merging with the rules of the Yang realm?"
The Profound Ghost Old Demon changed color, as he naturally understood what this meant.
"Alright, enough talk. Let’s begin," Qin Chen said indifferently.
Place a slave mark?
With Qin Chen's current cultivation, to completely enslave an Eternal Order realm expert would be an incredibly high difficulty.
Eternal Order realm experts had souls that reached eternal imperishability under the power of the Dao. Unless destroyed by external forces, their souls could be preserved forever, much like Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, who had survived for so long even as a remnant soul.
Of course, this so-called eternity still has a time limit. After all, to preserve a soul requires a constant consumption of energy.
However, Qin Chen would never use this method to control a third layer transcendent because the drawbacks of such methods were too many and could even lead to backlash. Unless Qin Chen's soul broke through again to reach the eternal realm, becoming imperishable as well, only then could he use such methods.
Now? It was simply impossible.
"Merge your path," Qin Chen spoke again. The waters of the Dead Sea around them began to ripple gently. Before the other party merged, Qin Chen naturally would not release the bindings.
"Yes."
The Profound Ghost Old Demon gritted his teeth, feeling a mix of anxiety and unease, but in the end, he took a bite and looked up at the sky.
Boom!
A terrifying aura of eternity surged upward in an instant, it was the source of order he controlled. Once this source of order appeared in the world, it emitted a rumbling sound, releasing an endless terrifying aura.
Following this, the Profound Ghost Old Demon closed his eyes, and his aura quickly connected with the Heavenly Dao of the Chaotic World.
