87: The slave mark enters the soul, and one thought controls life and death
The advantage of Divine Sense communication is that,
even different races can understand each other's intentions.
The Demon Dragon in front of him lowered its head and prostrated on the ground, clearly having given up resistance.
Zhang Sheng recalled a Spell he had obtained earlier, and transmitted his voice, saying,
"You stay here for now. Resist, and you die!"
Rooted spiritual wood vines grew from beneath the Demon Dragon's feet, tightly wrapping around its body.
Multiple Wood Prison Cages!
Zhang Sheng then transformed into a rainbow light and chased after the other Demon Dragons.
Seemingly understanding Zhang Sheng's intent, the Demon Dragon trapped in the Wood Prison Cage did not resist at all.
Even if it broke through the Wood Prison Cage, Zhang Sheng could turn back in time and slay it.
There were a total of seven Divine Breath Realm Yao Dragons fleeing in all directions.
Despite Zhang Sheng's best efforts to pursue them, he only managed to catch up to three of them, slaying them one by one.
All three corpses were collected into his storage ring.
What a pity. It would have been better to kill them in the Secret Realm, then they might have dropped items.
Turning back,
the Demon Dragon that had surrendered and begged for mercy was still in its original spot.
Because it was a Perfected State Wood Prison Cage Spell, Zhang Sheng had only left for a moment, and the spiritual wood cage had not dissipated.
"Human, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything!"
"Anything?"
"If I order you to kill your own kind, will you comply?" Zhang Sheng sneered.
The Demon Dragon, upon hearing this, excitedly said, "Of course! How can those crude kin compare to my own life? As long as you give the order, I'll go kill them right now!"
But in its heart, it secretly thought, "Human, as long as you let me go, once I become strong in the future, I will surely devour your flesh and suck your marrow!"
Zhang Sheng ignored it.
"Follow me!"
The Demon Dragon had no choice but to follow Zhang Sheng as he flew.
Seeing that the Demon Dragon's speed was not fast, not even twice the speed of sound, a brilliant blue Flying Dagger flew out from Zhang Sheng's hand.
It stabbed towards the Demon Dragon's anus!
"Ah~"
"My lord, spare me!"
"Fly faster! Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Dragon trembled all over, and its speed suddenly burst forth.
After flying three hundred kilometers, Zhang Sheng and the Demon Dragon stopped in a deserted mountain hollow.
"You stay put. I'll Cultivate for a while!"
The spiritual Wood Prison Cage once again wrapped the Demon Dragon in layers.
"Water Binding!"
The moisture in the air instantly gathered, filling the gaps in the Wood Prison Cage.
"Freeze!"
The spiritual Wood Prison Cage encasing the Demon Dragon became a large ice ball.
Although the Demon Dragon was terrified, it understood that Zhang Sheng did not intend to kill it, but rather to completely trap it.
To prevent it from escaping while Zhang Sheng was Cultivating.
From the moment the Demon Dragon begged for mercy, Zhang Sheng remembered a Spell he had obtained not long ago in the Kirov Blue-level Secret Realm—the Slave Seal.
Now was a good time to try it. If he could control this Divine Breath Realm Beast, it would be perfect.
The Slave Seal Spell requires using Mental Energy to condense a special mark within the Sea of Consciousness and implant it deep into the opponent's Divine Soul.
However, during the casting process, the opponent must not resist.
If the Demon Dragon resists, at best it will fail, and at worst, the Slave Seal will explode within the Demon Dragon's Sea of Consciousness, severely injuring the Demon Dragon.
For Zhang Sheng, it didn't matter if the Demon Dragon was injured, but wasting time for it was extremely uneconomical.
Holding his breath and concentrating,
the Mental Energy in his Sea of Consciousness, under Zhang Sheng's control, gathered into lines, and the lines formed a seal.
However, the lines of the Slave Seal were too complex; it was not a planar structure, but a three-dimensional one.
The Slave Seal collapsed directly before even half of it was formed, reverting to a gray mist of Mental Energy.
This was even with Zhang Sheng having already mastered the Perfected State "Profound Spider Soul Condensing Art"; otherwise, constructing the Slave Seal in the Sea of Consciousness would have been several times more difficult.
However, there were still gains.
The talent panel had changed.
"Detecting learning Spell—"Slave Seal", progress: 45%"
Numerous errors and omissions from the first attempt at constructing the Slave Seal appeared in his mind, and he suddenly understood.
Zhang Sheng began to condense the Slave Seal again.
All the previous errors were avoided, and this time, the constructed Slave Seal had a higher completeness.
"Detecting learning Spell—"Slave Seal", progress: 83%"
Only a few minutes had passed during the two attempts to construct the Slave Seal.
After strengthening the Demon Dragon's cage, he cast the Spell again.
When the progress reached 100%, the talent panel also changed accordingly.
A new line appeared in the Spell column.
"Spell: Slave Seal (Beginner: 1/100)"
This was the power of the unique "Once Certified, Forever Certified".
Even without successful casting, one could gradually understand, master, and improve progress until successful casting.
For a Tier 2 Spell, it takes a hundred attempts to go from Beginner to Proficient.
Zhang Sheng, however, did not have the time to Cultivate this Spell to the Proficient level at the moment; the Entry-Level version would suffice.
Zhang Sheng unsealed the cage trapping the Demon Dragon, which was now shivering from the cold.
"Now I will cast a Spell on you, sending Mental Energy into your Sea of Consciousness. You must not resist throughout the entire process, or you will surely die!"
"Understand?"
The Demon Dragon quickly transmitted its voice, "Yes, I understand, I understand!"
He was the fish on the chopping block, and the image of his boss being shattered by this human's spear kept replaying in his mind.
The Demon Dragon's only belief at this moment was to survive. Even if the person in front of him asked him to lick his toes, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
A gray orb the size of a ping-pong ball flew out from Zhang Sheng's glabella.
This orb was the Slave Seal Zhang Sheng had constructed in his Sea of Consciousness. The orb had no physical form; it was entirely composed of Mental Energy.
The orb entered the Demon Dragon's Sea of Consciousness from its glabella. Because the Demon Dragon did not resist, the Slave Seal easily merged with the Demon Dragon's Soul.
Success!
From this point on, Zhang Sheng could not only control the Demon Dragon's life and death with a single thought but also perceive whether the Demon Dragon was lying or harbored hostility.
The Demon Dragon would recognize Zhang Sheng as its master deep within its Soul.
However, this Entry-Level Slave Seal could only last for three days. After three days, the Slave Seal implanted in the Demon Dragon's Soul would automatically dissipate.
If an Entry-Level Slave Seal was cast again after the previous one dissipated, the duration would be shortened until it had no effect at all.
Three days should be enough. At worst, he could just grind this Spell to the Proficient level during that time.
"Demon Dragon, you should now understand that your life is in my hands, and you cannot lie to me!"
"From now on, your name is Long Yi."
Feeling the spiritual constraint, the Demon Dragon naturally knew that Zhang Sheng's words were true.
"Master, please give your orders!" the Demon Dragon respectfully said.
"Were you once a lost civilization?"
"Reporting to Master, we are the Yao Beast civilization born on Mochong Star. We failed the civilization assessment projected by the myriad worlds pearl."
"Ultimately, it led to the demise of our civilization and the destruction of our planet."
This was consistent with the information transmitted by Xiao Ling. Zhang Sheng continued to ask,
"Long Yi, do you know who planned India's operation? Who is currently commanding your Yao Beast race? And what are the next plans?"
"Master, our Swift Dragon Clan was able to descend into the present world completely unharmed thanks to the Parasitic God Insect Emperor!"
