Chapter 550: The Submission of the Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword! The First Battle Against the Holy Spirit!
Qian Yi held the sword, embodying the attitude of a rebellious noble, ready to start a rebellion.
However, Su Ping swiftly slapped the little creature, snapping Qian Yi out of his daydream of being the Death Sovereign.
Qian Yi shrank back, still holding the Death Sword, and followed closely behind Su Ping. Su Ping then turned his attention to the others.
He ignored the shocked and suspicious Lord White and focused on a seemingly insignificant 'little person' at that moment.
Among the Tomb Sky Force members, Zhu Linxin was indeed the most inconspicuous.
Moreover, he was the weakest in strength.
This was evident when Zhu Linxin entered the Soul Furnace and was the most affected by the Death Sword, his soul almost completely transforming into a Sword Soul.
After meeting Charles, Su Ping had quickly arranged for Charles to get all the Tomb Sky Force members out of the Soul Furnace.
However, Su Ping couldn't be sure about the consequences and fate of these members.
As he looked around, Su Ping's heart sank.
Even though it had been a while since they left the Soul Furnace, he could tell that not only his gaze but also everything around them, including Qian Yi's astonishing evolution and the White Tiger's true form, had failed to snap Zhu Linxin and some others out of their trance.
It wasn't that they hadn't snapped out of it, but their eyes were fixed on one thing—Qian Yi's pitch-black Death Sword. Apart from that, they sat in a daze, and they might have lain down on the ground if not for the support of their colleagues.
Only their dark eyes remained fixed on the Death Sword.
What chilled Su Ping's heart even more was the absence of several figures from the original hundred-strong Tomb Sky Legion.
Clearly, some members had failed to find their companions for support within the Soul Furnace and had completely transformed into Sword Souls, becoming nourishment for the Death Sword and the Soul Furnace.
It was cruel, but Su Ping knew it was inevitable.
Perhaps they had anticipated such an outcome.
Su Ping fell silent, recalling how he, Cold Grandpa, and the Saint Dragon Legend had tried their best to stop them from entering, knowing it was a deadly situation after learning about the internal affairs of the Tomb Sky.
No matter how many beast tamers there were, they would be of no use.
Only he, having acquired Charles' Tomb Sky or Death God Mark, could safely maintain his soul and approach the Death Sword, ascending the Bone Throne.
Others, any living being, including countless companion beasts, would likely end up as Sword Souls, nourishing the Death Sword within the Soul Furnace.
But there was no other way.
Even if Ghost Saint and the Saint Dragon Legend disagreed, these individuals themselves would not have consented.
Sacrifices, however, were never something to celebrate, especially for Su Ping, as these sacrifices could have been avoided.
He looked at Zhu Linxin, and the latter's gaze made him turn to Qian Yi:
"Qian Yi, can you restore the souls of Zhu Linxin and the others?"
Qian Yi never expected that his first task after evolving and acquiring unmatched power would be healing.
The little guy approached Zhu Linxin.
He wasn't particularly skilled in soul matters.
After this evolution, the essence of the undead was the fusion of souls and death, and there was an inseparable connection between the Sword Soul and him.
Qian Yi carefully observed Zhu Linxin and shook his head:
"Woof!"
Su Ping frowned, understanding the little guy's intention.
In fact, not only could the Death Sword do this, but it was merely a catalyst.
The Soul Furnace was a burial ground created at a great cost after the Death God's demise.
The layout of the Tomb Sky, the existence of the Bone Throne, and other factors contributed to this.
The Death Sword was indeed a critical node, but it wasn't the most influential factor.
For instance, the Soul Furnace, as its name suggests, is a place where souls are forged.
The process of sword-casting in a furnace involves melting metal at high temperatures and pouring it into a mold.
The Death Sword is the mold for these souls, but whether they can be restored is related to it but not the primary factor.
After understanding this, Su Ping sighed and turned to the White Tiger:
"Lord White, please convey my message to Saint Dragon. Find a way to heal their soul injuries, and let me know if there's anything I can do."
"Su Ping wasn't an expert in this field, and he knew that soul-related injuries and ailments were tricky to deal with.
White Tiger glanced around and nodded.
Then, he turned his questioning gaze towards Su Ping.
It was obvious that even White Tiger was a bit lost about what to do next.
In fact, even in Saint Dragon Legend's imagination, it was unimaginable that Su Ping would complete his exploration of the Tomb of Heaven and emerge from it in just one day.
Su Ping noticed White Tiger's hesitation and, after taking a look at this eerie place, said, "Anyway, let's head back to the military camp."
Only by returning to the camp could he later organize today's situation and report it to Leng Ye and Saint Dragon Legend.
Although they had left the Tomb of Heaven, the struggle surrounding it was far from over; in fact, it could be said that it had only just begun.
Su Ping had firmly chosen his side, and the future battles for the other two Tombs of Heaven would become a true test of strength.
With this in mind, Su Ping let out a sigh.
White Tiger then looked around and asked, "What about them, meow?"
Obviously, 'them' referred to the other undead creatures that were crawling in such a state.
Su Ping turned directly to Qian Yi:
"Qian Yi, let them disperse. Also, tell them not to invade the northern border of Dragon Country again. If the number of undead born in this Tomb of Heaven is too large, then don't restrain them. Let them fight among themselves, and only the fittest will survive."
"At that time, I will report to the upper echelons of Dragon Country. We won't actively send high-level beast tamers to clear out the Holy Spirit Rank and some Imperial Rank creatures.
But this place will become a trial ground for Dragon Country. Dragon Country beast tamers can enter and undergo trials, harvesting some undead resources. As long as they don't actively attack those high-intelligence Holy Spirit Rank ferocious beasts, those beasts also cannot casually attack our Dragon Country's beasts."
"Go and ask those leading undead ferocious beasts to see if they can agree!"
"Wow!"
This was Su Ping's well-thought-out plan, and it was just the beginning.
Currently, within the Tomb of Heaven, the number of undead ferocious beasts was in the tens of millions, possibly even over a hundred million.
There was no reason to eliminate such a massive undead tide.
Now that he had control over the Bone Throne, he had partial control over this deadly area of the Tomb of Heaven.
As long as Charles didn't cause any trouble, Su Ping could leave his mark on this land in the future and replace these currently wild undead ferocious beasts with new ones.
So, for now, it was best to use gentle means to appease these creatures.
Of course, given the situation, if these creatures could fully submit to Qian Yi's positional skill, Su Ping wouldn't mind keeping them around.
He had other ways to make these creatures obey, but he didn't have the mood or energy to meticulously control the Bone Throne and force them into submission.
It was enough for them to obey for now, allowing him to leave and process everything.
Su Ping's prediction turned out to be accurate.
When Qian Yi approached and exchanged a few words with the largest Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword, he returned.
And the first feedback he received through the soul pact was precisely this.
Su Ping looked at Qian Yi in surprise:
"The Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword wants to follow you? And it wants to enter your Death Sword Domain?"
Qian Yi nodded, looking mighty and impressive.
Indeed, he deserved to feel proud.
The Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword was a high-level Holy Spirit.
However, according to Qian Yi's analysis of the Death Sword Master skill, the sword possessed three buffs: Death, Undead, and Sword.
With these buffs, the Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword could be considered fully stacked.
Although it seemed abstract that a Holy Spirit Rank creature would submit to an Imperial Rank, witnessing Qian Yi's ability made it seem like a barely acceptable situation.
However, this thought was completely shattered by the second piece of information that Qian Yi conveyed.
Su Ping frowned:
"What? The other Holy Spirit Rank undead creatures don't agree with this proposal? And they say you don't have the qualifications to command the undead ferocious beasts of the northern border of the Tomb of Heaven?"
Qian Yi nodded again, but this time, his two-dimensional face showed a sense of righteous indignation.
Hearing this, Lord White spoke up from the side:
"Su, I told you, these undead creatures are nothing to worry about. If they dare to gather around, I'll just eat them all."
Obviously, for Lord White, as long as they didn't hide and pester him, gathering around was just a matter of a few swipes of his claws.
Su Ping didn't seem to be in a hurry to deploy this 'nuclear weapon'.
He was also curious:
"Qian Yi, how many Saint Spirit Rank beings are there here?"
Qian Yi shook his head.
From the attitude of the beings before them, it was clear that the Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword was the most obedient.
Moreover, it had taken the initiative to submit to becoming a subordinate's subordinate.
The large circle of low-level undead around them was most likely under the command of the Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword.
However, Leng Ye had previously stated that the Tomb of Heaven was a perilous place, and the number of Saint Spirit Rank beings was always shrouded in mystery.
He couldn't launch an attack recklessly.
Therefore, it was apparent that the internal affairs of the high-level undead in this perilous tomb were not harmonious.
And the Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword, due to the emergence of the Death Sword, had immediately submitted without hesitation.
However, the other high-level undead beings clearly didn't care about this sword.
If a Death God were to appear, there wouldn't be a single undead being on the Blue Planet that wouldn't submit. But Qian Yi, not to mention the gap between him and the Death God, even the merged Death Sword was merely a shell with a trace of the sword's power.
The attitude of the other undead beings was understandable.
However, understanding and acknowledging were two different matters.
Su Ping thought for a moment and turned to Lord White:
"Lord White, please stay here to protect Captain Li and the others. I'll go and take a look."
With Lord White present, those high-level undead wouldn't dare provoke them, let alone even consider it.
Lord White thought for a moment: "Be careful, my friend!"
"Qian Yi, let's go. I want to see who dares to disobey."
Qian Yi didn't waste any words. This place had already become his territory.
Most Saint Spirit Rank beastly beings were no less intelligent than humans, possessing complete wisdom.
He led Qian Yi slowly from the center of the Tomb of Heaven.
The Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword came into view.
On the massive evil sword, crimson pupils rotated, eerie and sinister. But to Su Ping's surprise, he genuinely sensed the sword's sincere humility towards Qian Yi.
Could this thing be genuinely sincere?
"Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword? Do you truly wish to submit to Qian Yi?"
The crimson pupils instantly locked onto Su Ping, and a clear mental shock reverberated throughout the area:
"Human, I was born from the fusion of the Death Sword's intent! Therefore, I submit to the Death Sword Lord, not to you, a mere human!"
Su Ping smiled slightly, stopping Qian Yi's protest, and then said:
"No harm done!"
The Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword's voice rang out again:
"Human, if you think that by ordering the Death Sword Lord to command me, you can make the entire Tomb of Heaven submit, then you are gravely mistaken!
In this perilous tomb, there are over ten Saint Spirit Rank beings! Although we dare not defy you because of the legendary totem, you are mistaken if you believe you can make the Tomb of Heaven your human servant."
Over ten?
Su Ping inwardly took a deep breath, but his expression remained calm. He glanced at the Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword and said:
"In that case, I recall a Saint Spirit who spoke to Qian Yi in this manner. Let's call him out and see.
In the world of beasts, strength is always revered, right? So, let's have your subordinates show their true colors!"
The Supreme Demonic Spirit Sword was taken aback. Show their true colors?
It looked at Qian Yi. Although it had absolute faith in the Death Sword Lord, the aura of the Death Sword was too powerful.
However, the Sword Lord before them didn't seem to have inherited all the previous Sword Lord's power. His aura was merely at the initial stage of the Imperial Rank.
Who was he challenging?
At that moment, a sharp voice echoed through the endless dark mist:
"Ignorant human! How dare you speak so boldly in the Tomb of Heaven, relying solely on the power of the totem!"
Su Ping glared at the figure in the black mist:
"I swear by the Soul Pact; as long as life and death are not at stake, Lord White will not intervene. You, hiding in the shadows, are probably not a top-tier being in the Tomb of Heaven, right?
In that case, my pet has just evolved to the initial stage of the Imperial Rank. I dare you to challenge it!"
His voice was cold, and with the spread of his mental power, his words reached ten miles.
The next moment, the black mist churned, and a figure emerged from the air:
"In that case, I'll see how a human's pet can make this evil spirit sword submit."
Su Ping's lips curled upward as he looked at the figure that had appeared.
He recognized the being at first sight.
It was a Saint Spirit Rank undead beast, a Winter Frost Demon King of the ice attribute.
