Chapter 210: Taking a Primordial Deity as a Dog
Li Jian's words were extremely arrogant, and the primordial powerhouses understood their meaning: he wanted them to become his dogs. They were enraged. As primordial powerhouses, they were peerless prodigies who dominated entire provinces. Even the Dark Saint, to whom they had submitted, never treated them with such contempt.
"Arrogant, who do you think you are?"
Two primordial deities roared in anger. One conjured the Sky Net Umbrella, a weapon refined from divine bones, and attacked Shi Jian. The formation set up by the Underworld Race also activated, and the immense killing intent accompanied the umbrella's descent.
"Seeking death," Shi Jian murmured.
He took a step, and the void twisted. His kick landed in the empty air, creating a roar and a fierce wind that shattered the Sky Net Umbrella and the formation instantly. The shockwave shattered the Underworld Race powerhouses, and the three primordial deities coughed up blood from the shock. They stared at Shi Jian in horror, realizing that his terrifying combat power might even surpass the Dark Saint's.
They were called Underworld Generals, primordial beings who had become gods several months ago. Yet, they were instantly defeated by a single kick from a man who appeared to have suffered severe injuries during his breakthrough.
"Die!"
Shi Jian used his hand as a blade, casually slashing out a strike. The blade light raged toward the three primordial powerhouses.
"Not good!"
The three were greatly alarmed, each employing divine abilities to block the attack. One roared like a dragon, another conjured a treasure, and the third moved like a phantom. They used all their might to block the casual strike.
"Pfft..."
The primordial being who moved like a phantom was killed, his head separating from his body. The other two, despite blocking with all their might, suffered severe injuries but still had a trace of life.
"To survive my attack... you are worthy of being my dog!"
Shi Jian walked before them and sent a Soul Imprint into their bodies, a legacy from the Meteorite Star Master. The imprint would allow him to control their lives and deaths and, over time, make them sincerely submit. The two dying deities let out piercing screams and immediately begged for mercy.
"Lord, I am willing to submit, please withdraw your Divine Ability!"
Having already submitted to the Dark Saint once, they had little backbone. Now, after witnessing Shi Jian's strength and enduring the pain, they willingly submitted. Shi Jian did not need their loyalty; he only needed a few emotionless machines to harvest spirit medicine. The Soul Imprint would teach them loyalty later.
He sent a wisp of First Wood Essence Qi into their bodies, and their vitality recovered slightly.
"Say thank you!"
The two knelt before him in fear. "Thank you, Lord, for saving our lives..." They only mentioned his essence qi saving them, not how they had almost died because of him.
Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction. "Tell me, where are the spiritual plants and spirit medicine you collected for the Dark Saint? Also, where is the Dark Saint?"
One of them explained that they did not know the Dark Saint's secluded location, and the other pointed towards the valley. "All the spiritual plants and spiritual medicine we have collected during this period are here..."
Shi Jian walked to the spring pool where their treasures were stored. The pool was a precious treasure land, and endless spirit medicine was laid out near it. He began to refine these resources and the spring pool itself. His withered body, lacking life qi, needed great replenishment. In just a few hours, he absorbed all the divine substances, and his body was restored. His hair grew to his waist, his skin was as white as snow, and he once again exuded vitality. The two primordial deities waited respectfully beside him.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, people were furious. The Nether Race was enraged, wanting to enter the Immortal Ancient and kill Shi Jian for plundering their resources and killing their clansmen.
"This Sin Blood Great Fiend truly acts extraordinarily, truly uninhibited!"
Others who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim. They recalled how Shi Jian was named "Uninhibited" on Demon God Island. He lacked resources, so he simply robbed them and trampled the face of a great sect into the ground.
"What is this? That Sin Blood Great Fiend previously used unknown means in the Spirit Realm to kill thousands of core disciples of forces like the Dragon Dao Sect, and even slew several Heavenly Gods!"
Someone revealed Shi Jian's past actions, which caused the surrounding people to gasp in shock. Any force suffering such losses would be severely crippled. The top forces were worried, thinking Shi Jian's Dao Foundation was destroyed, but he now appeared even more powerful.
After Shi Jian's appearance was restored, the two primordial deities finally recognized him as the Sin Blood Great Fiend. They had heard of him before entering Immortal Ancient and now knew his terror. They were certain that the Dark Saint did not possess such terrifying strength.
The Dark Saint, an ancient corpse from the previous epoch, had to take some effort to defeat them. Shi Jian, however, had done it effortlessly.
"Take me to the Immortal Palace's station..."
After plundering all the resources, Shi Jian ordered the two primordial deities. The two assented, and the three took a teleportation formation back to the Dark Divine Palace in the city. The entire ordeal had taken only a few sticks of incense.
The onlookers who had not yet dispersed were all greatly shocked. They had thought Shi Jian was going to his death, but now they saw him leading two of the Dark Divine Palace's Underworld Generals.
"Is this the Sin Blood Great Fiend? Was the person who just killed his way into the Dark Divine Palace that Sin Blood Great Fiend?"
"Are the people following him the Underworld Generals of the Dark Divine Palace? Why do they look so submissive? Could it be that they have now submitted to the Sin Blood Great Fiend?"
Muttering discussions arose. When the crowd saw the two divine fire primordial beings leading Shi Jian towards the Immortal Palace's station, a sudden cry of surprise came out. Everyone looked at each other.
"Could it be that they are going to cause trouble for the Immortal Palace?"
Everyone knew that Shi Jian had the deepest hatred for the Immortal Palace. It was a widely known secret that an Immortal and an old Supreme from the Immortal Palace had once attacked him.
