Chapter 417: Soul Enslavement, Taming the Winged Serpent
"Flame" spoke with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Despite the winged serpent's current state, flailing around blindly within the spatial cage like a headless fly, it was still a powerful spiritual beast with a physical strength comparable to a Golden Core Realm being. Suppressing it was no easy task and required a significant amount of Flame's energy.
Previously, Lu Qing had been focusing on his cultivation, with a breakthrough imminent.
Additionally, with external threats to his Golden Core, the situation was urgent.
As a result, Flame had refrained from disturbing Lu Qing over this minor matter.
But now that Lu Qing had achieved his breakthrough and attained the Golden Core Realm, Flame could no longer hold back from reminding him.
"I did indeed forget about this matter."
Lu Qing looked at the multicolored winged serpent, first startled, then he smiled and said.
He had genuinely forgotten about this creature.
Recently, there had been a lot going on, and with his focus on cultivation, he had no time to spare for this little creature.
As the multicolored winged serpent continued to struggle and rage within the spatial cage, Lu Qing waved his hand, releasing it from the confinement.
As the master of the Flame Cauldron, he naturally had control over the spirit artifact's space.
The sudden release caught the multicolored winged serpent off guard, and as it landed outside, its eyes showed a moment of bewilderment.
Ever since it was confined to that tiny, lightless space, it had lost all hope.
No matter how hard it tried, it was completely unable to break through the spatial barrier.
Its once proud and powerful physical body was useless against the spatial cage.
The only reason it continued to struggle and ram against the barrier was due to its innate arrogance, refusing to submit so easily.
So when it suddenly found itself released from the spatial cage, the multicolored winged serpent couldn't react for a moment.
However, the bewilderment in its eyes quickly vanished, replaced by intense anger.
It had spotted, among the two figures ahead, one that it would never forget, even in its dreams.
This person had not only taken away the treasure it had guarded for a thousand years, shattering its hopes for advancement, but had also imprisoned it in that lightless spatial cage.
This hatred was deeply etched in its heart, unforgettable for a lifetime!
"Hiss!"
The multicolored winged serpent's eyes gleamed with hatred as it let out a hiss, charging towards Lu Qing with incredible speed.
Its physical strength erupted layer upon layer, as it sought to use its indestructible body to smash its enemy into pieces!
Facing the winged serpent's rampage, Lu Qing remained unmoved, calmly uttering a single word.
"Still!"
Instantly, the rapidly advancing body of the multicolored winged serpent froze in place.
Countless powerful spatial forces enveloped its body, not only halting its momentum but also pinning it down, unable to move even a hair's breadth.
"Hiss!"
Despite being restrained, the multicolored winged serpent showed no sign of submission. It continued to struggle fiercely, trying to break free from the bindings with its physical strength.
Its eyes remained fixed on Lu Qing, as if wanting to engrave the enemy's face into its soul.
"Little serpent, do you want to live or die?" Lu Qing asked calmly, facing the winged serpent's gaze that seemed to want to devour him.
At the same time, the strand of divine soul incarnation suddenly radiated a brilliant light, rapidly expanding until it became towering, almost filling the entire spirit artifact space.
An immense and boundless aura emanated from Lu Qing's body.
A majestic voice, as if descending from the heavens, declared, "If you want to live, open your mind and let me imprint a soul mark.
If you choose death, I will obliterate your body and soul, turning your physical form into a puppet for my use!"
This earth-shattering change instantly stunned the multicolored winged serpent.
It couldn't believe that the presence it had sensed earlier, which was on par with its own, had suddenly become so terrifying.
It was tempted to doubt that what it saw before it was an illusion, but the oppressive pressure it felt in its mind made it realize that everything was real.
"Little snake, tell me, your answer, do you want to live or die?"
Lu Qing's voice echoed from high above once more.
The multicolored winged snake shuddered and swallowed its saliva.
Feeling the pressure on its mind, like a mountain, it wanted to continue being stubborn.
But its instinct told it that if it truly rejected the existence before it, the other party would not hesitate to annihilate its divine soul.
Recalling Lu Qing's earlier words, that after annihilating its divine soul, he would also refine its body into a puppet, the winged snake lost all resistance.
Since death meant enslavement of its body anyway, it was better to stay alive.
"Hiss~"
Under Lu Qing's gaze, the multicolored winged snake let out a pitiful low roar and lowered its head.
Simultaneously, it emitted a wave of submissive divine soul energy.
"Hmm?"
Lu Qing was taken aback.
He thought he would need to spend more effort to intimidate this winged snake.
Unexpectedly, it had surrendered so quickly.
Apparently, this winged snake born in the mystic realm was even more innocent than he had imagined.
"Since you choose to submit, release your mind," Lu Qing said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the multicolored winged snake didn't hesitate and immediately released its mind.
Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony; a divine soul mark descended from the sky and imprinted itself on the deepest part of the winged snake's soul.
With the soul mark imprinted, from then on, the multicolored winged snake was officially enslaved by him.
From that moment, the winged snake's life and death were entirely in his control; with a single thought, he could annihilate its soul at will.
After subduing the multicolored winged snake, Lu Qing's divine soul incarnation returned to its original state, and all the oppressive aura subsided.
"Congratulations, Young Master, on successfully taming a powerful spiritual beast."
"Flame," who had stepped aside earlier, now approached.
However, it, too, was still somewhat shaken.
The divine soul pressure Lu Qing had just displayed was almost unbearable even for it.
"Young Master has successfully crossed the tribulation and achieved the Golden Core Realm, becoming increasingly unfathomable."
"Flame" muttered to itself.
Even before crossing the tribulation, Lu Qing had often left it astonished.
Now, after entering the Golden Core Realm, he had become completely incomprehensible to it.
"Hiss~"
Upon seeing Lu Qing's restored form, the multicolored winged snake swam over, rubbing against his palm in a flattering manner.
There was not a trace of its previous hatred left in its eyes.
Its attitude change was as swift as a face-lift.
This was the terrifying aspect of soul enslavement.
Once the mark of enslavement was imprinted, not only was life and death controlled, but even the mind would be twisted, causing the enslaved to develop a liking for its master and obeying them completely.
This was also the reason Lu Qing had always been wary of demon cultivators.
Although the demon cultivator had always shown unwavering loyalty on the surface, Lu Qing suspected that the fellow had not completely lost his mind.
Seeing the flattering manner of the multicolored winged snake, Lu Qing reached out and patted it.
Sensing the Five Elements power within its body, an idea came to his mind.
"From now on, your name will be 【Five Elements】."
