King of Creation
Chapter 1157: Chapter 1142: Third Stage of Thunder Secret Technique of Fright
Looking at Ou Tu’s pleading gaze, Ning Shiyi had a bitter expression.
Ning Shiyi was well aware that in this situation, only he could save Ou Tu. If he didn’t help, Ou Tu might be forced to death by Ye Zhen or by himself!
However, Ning Shiyi saving Ou Tu didn’t mean that Ning Shiyi could just say a few words and let Ye Zhen spare Ou Tu.
Previously, Ye Zhen had already released their Ning Family’s Young Tower Chief and four future Tower Chief candidates without hesitation, repaying the debt of imparting martial arts, thus settling all grudges.
The reason it was said that Ning Shiyi could save Ou Tu was mainly because Ning Shiyi could at least have a conversation with Ye Zhen.
As for others, they probably wouldn’t even manage to finish their opening words before their own descendants would be plucked out by Ye Zhen, either to have their thighs torn apart or heads twisted off.
But, Ou Tu couldn’t be left unsaved.
In the next moment, Ning Shiyi let out a long sigh and, from a distance, bowed his hands towards Ye Zhen, "Ye Zhen, I am left with no choice but to shamelessly speak up again.
On behalf of my face, could you give Ou Tu a way out?"
"Of course, I’m not just speaking empty words. I will offer the third stage of the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright that I’ve never imparted to outsiders!" Ning Shiyi revealed a jade scroll in his palm.
Ye Zhen looked at the jade scroll, somewhat surprised.
To be honest, whether it was the Thunder Light of Fright or the Heavenly Thunder of Fright, both had great power.
The Divine Thunder of Fright that Ning Shiyi exhibited earlier, just a faint aura, made Ye Zhen’s four-colored Innate Soul Light feel an inexplicable pressure.
Evidently, it was quite extraordinary.
Unfortunately, after settling the grudges with Ning Shiyi earlier, Ye Zhen knew he would have no further ties with the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright’s third stage Divine Thunder of Fright in this life.
Even if Ning Shiyi were beaten to death, he wouldn’t hand over such a secret divine skill manual to his mortal enemy, Ye Zhen.
But Ye Zhen didn’t expect a silver lining to emerge from the darkness.
Ning Shiyi, in order to save Ou Tu, actually took out the third stage of the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright directly.
One had to admit, Ning Shiyi was quite straightforward in his actions.
If Ning Shiyi had just directly asked Ye Zhen to spare Ou Tu, Ye Zhen would most likely not refuse. However, who knew what the Sky Wing Three Saints might say.
"Since Senior Ning has spoken, this respect must be given. Today’s transaction, let’s handle it officially!" With his five fingers stretched, Ye Zhen took the third stage of the Thunder Secret Technique of Fright that Ning Shiyi had offered.
At the same time, Ou Tu, covered in cold sweat, finally sighed in relief!
His life was saved today; what remained was to see how to redeem the young ones of their families.
When Ye Zhen spoke this sentence, Gai Jun also sighed because he could finally speak proactively.
"Since we are to redeem people, just name your price, as long as our Stars Tower......"
"Who said I said you should redeem them right away?" Ye Zhen suddenly interrupted Gai Jun.
Gai Jun, Huang Tan, Ou Tu, Ning Shiyi, and Yan Wudi’s expressions suddenly became extremely stunned; each of them couldn’t help clenching their teeth, afraid that Ye Zhen might come up with more tricks.
"To redeem people, there’s a prerequisite condition: you five must each swear a Divine Soul Oath that henceforth, none of you is to set foot into the Black Dragon Domain or Heavenly Wing Island, or be cursed with having no descendants while all male offspring become slaves and all female offspring become prostitutes...."
Ye Zhen demonstrated an extremely vicious Divine Soul Oath with an indifferent expression, causing the faces of the five present Tower Chiefs of Stars Tower to change dramatically, even the Sky Wing Three Saints’ expressions turned somewhat strange.
Precisely because for these five, the curse fitted all too well, as their martial art pursuits had essentially reached their peak, what they truly cared for was their family legacy and bloodline lineage.
"Isn’t this oath too vicious?" Huang Tan frowned.
"Oh, right, you also need to reveal your Spirit Palace’s true form publicly before invoking your Innate Divine Soul to swear this Divine Soul Oath. Your Stars Tower is large and resourceful, who knows if you might have those priceless Substitute Soul Puppet Talismans after all!"
"As for whether the oath is vicious or not, do you even have a choice?" Ye Zhen sneered dismissively, "Moreover, merely restricting the five of you from setting foot on the Black Dragon Domain or Heavenly Wing Island—such a simple Divine Soul Oath, and you still dare to question it?"
"Should I come up with something harsher that restricts more of you, to see if you can refuse?"
With that, Ye Zhen arrogantly swept his gaze over Gai Jun, Huang Tan, Ou Tu, Ning Shiyi, and Yan Wudi, "The reason you are made to swear such a simple Divine Soul Oath,
is simply that you harbored ill intentions before, perpetrating such a despicable and shameless act! According to your plan, you intended to slaughter hundreds of billions of innocent civilians in a fit of pique.
Forcing you to make such a Divine Soul Oath now is merely to preempt this matter."
Upon Ye Zhen’s words, Gai Jun, Huang Tan, Ou Tu, Ning Shiyi, and Yan Wudi’s faces turned as red as tomatoes.
Even if they had not carried out the act, it was Stars Tower who had committed it.
This is a cap that they had to wear.
"As for me, indeed I’m not afraid. After today, if you seek revenge, come find me, Ye Zhen, directly! Even during my time in the Vein Forging Realm, I was not afraid of you,
much less now that my cultivation has broken through to the Establishment Realm, why should I fear you?"
As he spoke, Ye Zhen released his aura, and in an instant, the unique spirit pressure of an Establishment King radiated in all directions.
In an instant, the faces of Gai Jun, Huang Tan, Ou Tu, Ning Shiyi, and Yan Wudi turned extremely unpleasant.
When Ye Zhen’s cultivation was merely at the sixth and seventh stage of the Vein Forging Realm, he could easily turn their Stars Tower upside down and effortlessly slay martial artists from the mid to late Establishment Realm.
Now that his cultivation has broken through to the Establishment Realm, he is even less to be trifled with. It might be hard to find an opponent for Ye Zhen under the Ninth Stage of the Establishment Realm.
The people of Stars Tower were worried, while the loose cultivators from Sky Wing Three Saints and various places of Phoenix Tail Island, especially the spies from different factions who knew Ye Zhen’s true strength, were all shocked.
The Great Saint of Jinghai, Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and Sea-Breaking Great Saint exchanged glances, a flicker of understanding in their eyes—Ye Zhen’s combat power surpassing theirs would just be a matter of time from now.
Under Ye Zhen’s bold and determined words, the five current tower chiefs of Stars Tower were very clear that they had no choice but to swear a Divine Soul oath.
If they dared not even swear such a simple oath, surely someone would suspect them of still harboring intentions to commit some despicable and shameless acts.
If that were the case, some of Stars Tower’s business partners might truly feel threatened.
The repercussions for Stars Tower in the future could be profound.
"I will swear!"
Taking a deep breath, a towering divine aura arose around Gai Jun. Suddenly, a Spirit Palace shrouded in mist emerged from behind his head. Almost simultaneously, Gai Jun summoned his Innate Divine Soul and swore this very simple yet very humiliating oath.
Previous Tower Chief Gai Jun did it, so naturally, it wasn’t a problem for the others. They each, in front of Ye Zhen, revealed their Spirit Palace image and summoned their Innate Divine Soul to swear the oath.
The unexpected happened to Ning Family’s ancestor, Ning Shiyi.
Just as Ning Shiyi was about to publicly swear the Divine Soul oath, the young Tower Chief just sent back by Ning Family and Ye Zhen suddenly stepped forward to stop him, "Ancestor, this oath is something our Ning Family shouldn’t need to..."
"Shut up, you disgrace!"
Ning Shiyi’s face turned blood-red in an instant and he spat saliva all over Ning Tu’s face, probably because given the many people present, Ning Shiyi might have added a few slaps if it weren’t for that.
Immediately, Ning Shiyi solemnly swore the Divine Soul oath, and Yan Wudi was no exception, completing Ye Zhen’s first demand.
"Ye Zhen, we’ve fulfilled your request. Tell us, what will it take for you to release them?" Gai Jun asked.
"Release them? It’s simple, redeem them with Spirit Crystals. Surely, you wouldn’t be unprepared, right?" Ye Zhen said.
The reason Ye Zhen staged all this was primarily to resolve his worries.
Once his worries were resolved, even if Dao Realm experts pursued him, Ye Zhen was confident he could handle it.
Actually, Ye Zhen had a simpler method, which was to force these people before him to swear an even more severe Divine Soul oath against him.
But truly, does it work?
Ye Zhen had carefully researched records related to various Divine Soul oaths.
Ye Zhen found that the so-called Divine Soul oath, passed down from ancient times, once sworn, under the cycle of Heavenly Dao, must be fulfilled.
However, this claim, passed down from ancient times, had no proof of its effectiveness.
Records showed that some had sworn simple Divine Soul oaths and later violated them without consequence.
But no one dared attempt excessively malicious Divine Soul oaths.
Thus, passed down from ancient times, all martial artists held a reverence for these Divine Soul oaths.
That’s why there’s a current notion that Divine Soul oaths can restrict martial artists’ behavior.
Yet, is it truly effective?
At least Ye Zhen hasn’t discovered proof of it, nor has there been anyone fulfilling the oath.
Nonetheless, one thing is true: If a martial artist swears a severe Divine Soul oath and later violates it, they often suffer from being possessed—especially serious when breaking through cultivation realms.
Ye Zhen believes this relates to the martial artist’s own Heart Demon.
The effectiveness depends on everyone’s reverence in their mind.
All this discussion leads to one point—it’s more reliable to depend on oneself for safety assurance than relying on the vague and uncertain fulfillment of Divine Soul oaths.
As for Ye Zhen asking the five tower chiefs of Stars Tower to swear the Divine Soul oath publicly, it wasn’t about the content of the oath but to let the many onlookers bear witness.
From today, the despicable and shameless reputation of Stars Tower would spread across the world, affecting every action Stars Tower considers.
Of course, the most important aspect is still strength.
If Ye Zhen doesn’t have the strength that Stars Tower fears, they could crush anything related to Ye Zhen with a single word.
But now, Stars Tower must seriously consider whether they can withstand Ye Zhen’s revenge after committing such unruly acts.
Just like now, Ye Zhen was about to teach the unruly Stars Tower a lesson, sharp and unforgettable, perhaps even to the point of spitting blood!
