Chapter 2177 - 2162: Slave Collar

Chapter 2177: Chapter 2162: Slave Collar

Rumble!

A thin and rapid streak of thunder light suddenly shot down from the Thunder Light Whip above Ye Zhen’s head, gently tapping on the swiftly fleeing white light.

As the thunder light flickered, the white light let out a mournful cry, and Ye Zhen’s hand seal transformed with Primordial Spirit Power suddenly reached out, directly grasping that beam of white light.

It turned out to be a white bone wheel.

Falling into Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Hand, the white bone wheel struggled violently.

This was the Artifact Spirit of the white bone wheel struggling.

Ye Zhen said no more, and as the thunder light on the Thunder Light Whip flashed consecutively, several bolts of thunder struck directly on the white bone wheel, which let out continued miserable cries, becoming immediately docile.

After casually applying several seals, Ye Zhen tossed it into the space within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Right now, Ye Zhen had no time to examine what kind of treasure it was, nor did he have time to refine and tame it.

Forcefully seizing the Acquired Spirit Treasure of other experts and wanting to refine it for personal use demands substantial effort.

In the next instant, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense submerged into the vast memory imprints sent by the Little Demon of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

These memory imprints cannot be maintained for long, and Ye Zhen must view them quickly.

The sea of memories, reminiscent of boundless seawater, surged toward Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit. The Wish Power from all living beings within the Primordial Spirit shimmered, as per Ye Zhen’s wishes, directly turning those useless waste memories into nothingness.

At that moment, Ye Zhen observed the life trajectory of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong from a condescending perspective.

From birth to cultivation, to breakthroughs, every detail was absorbed by Ye Zhen’s eyes.

Ye Zhen was immersed in the life trajectory of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, unaware that the fall of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong had already stirred an uproar.

The first to discover the death of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong were the nearly four thousand remaining demon clan elites.

Previously, these demon clan elites were buoyed with morale and battle intent due to Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s divine display.

But at this moment, when they saw the white light fleeing from the head of Prophet Demon Master and his body motionless within countless green lights, what was even more critical — the overwhelming aura of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong vanished from their perception.

It vanished completely.

These demon clan elites, all experts themselves, knew well what the complete disappearance of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s aura signified.

Instantly, each cried out in despair!

"No!"

"Lord Demon Master, no, you can’t!"

"Prophet Demon Master, wake up, wake up quickly!"

Each demon clan elite shouted desperately, their eyes filled with dejection and pain.

What was particularly disastrous was that the demise of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong dealt a fatal blow at their spiritual level.

If even Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong had fallen, then what hope did they have?

As their will faltered, the battle intent of these individuals plummeted sharply, with some even losing the confidence to continue resisting.

The military’s morale broke apart.

The collapse of military morale resulted in these remaining skilled and experienced demon clan elites beginning to flee in disarray.

These demon clan elites were quickly destroyed and killed at an even faster rate than before!

Zheng Dangshi, who was enjoying slaughtering with the Demon Spirit Soldiers, was suddenly reminded of a past task by the blood of a powerless demon clan — the past instruction given by Ye Zhen: if there was an opportunity, capture the demon clan elites as much as possible.

This instruction was given a long time ago, but until now, Ye Zhen had always engaged in surprise attacks, hit-and-run tactics without any chance to capture demon clan elites.

As for why capturing was necessary, the reason was simple.

The demon clan could enslave the human clan, so why couldn’t the human clan enslave the demon clan?

However, most of the time, humans preferred to kill the demon clan.

The main reason was the battle merits.

Capturing the demon clan counted as battle merits, but only half the worth.

Therefore, on the battlefield, humans rarely captured the demon clan, as decapitating them counted more towards battle achievements.

Of course, some did capture demon clan as slaves, and such demon clan slaves would be recognized by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The reason Ye Zhen wanted to capture demon clan as slaves was simple — power!

The individual combat power of the demon clan was very strong; using demon clan slaves in battle meant powerful combatants, and without concern for their deaths.

As for battle merits, Ye Zhen was in no hurry.

There would be plenty of opportunities for battle merits, but the most crucial aspect now was surviving the thousand-year war and acquiring more powerful strength.

That was why this instruction was given.

"Grand Marshal’s order: those who surrender can’t be killed!"

"Grand Marshal’s order: everyone, keep them alive if possible!"

Zheng Dangshi, recalling Ye Zhen’s command, roared out.

Needless to say, prolonged training and numerous battles ensured that Ye Zhen’s military orders were executed thoroughly.

Almost instantly, the Demon Spirit Soldiers at the forefront managed to suppress their raging killing intent, turning to capture the demon clan instead.

The collapse of their will caused these hopeless demon clan elites, a third of them instantly giving up resistance, kneeling directly on the spot.

Those who didn’t kneel in surrender had lost their battle intent, making resistance very limited.

In no time, the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea reaped a large number of elite demon clan captives.

Initially controlled by the Demon Spirit Soldiers, the priests of Barbarian Spirit Hall rushed forward from the rear, without a word, they came up and each fastened slave collars refined by Barbarian Spirit Hall onto them, then activated the magic formula to merge these slave collars directly into their bodies, binding their Divine Souls and heads.

This was dual enslavement of the flesh and Divine Soul.

Much like the demon clan’s enslavement secret technique, this slave collar of the Ancestor God Temple was all the more vicious, and reliable.

Once a demon clan member is donned with this slave collar, they face only two destinies — death or enslavement; no third option exists.

Within less than half a quarter-hour, over three thousand demon clan elites were entirely donned with these slave collars. Once the Jade Slip of Secret Curses controlling these slave collars was handed to Ye Zhen, a thought of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense could dictate the life or death of these demon clan elites.

Among the over three thousand demon clan elites, those of the Middle Late Dark Palace Realm made up the majority, and there were also three from the Realm King Realm.

Without exaggeration, in direct confrontation, these over three thousand demon clan elites could already contend against Ye Zhen’s Demon Spirit Soldiers.

However, Ye Zhen who was examining the memories of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong at this moment was still unaware.

Simultaneously, just returned to the demon camp before the Blood River Fortress by Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s Great Divine Power, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Cong Yun, finally let out a sigh of relief.

Yii Si, who was extremely anxious, also sighed in relief; if anything happened to the Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun, his life would be wholly ruined.

"Prince, it’s good to see you safe and back."

While the two were speaking, suddenly a young Moon Demon rushed over, and Yout was just about to shout, but his expression changed suddenly and stopped the guards from blocking him.

This young Moon Demon was none other than the child servant who had been attending Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, also considered one of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s disciples.

As soon as the young Moon Demon rushed over, he knelt before the Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun and cried out in sadness, "Seventh Prince, the Prophet Altar within the vehicle of Lord Prophet Demon Master has collapsed!"

"What?"

At these words, the newly seated Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun abruptly stood up, his single eye staring wide, "What did you say, say it again?"

"Prince, the Prophet Altar left within the vehicle by Lord Prophet Demon Master has just collapsed!" The young Moon Demon repeated once more, already sobbing uncontrollably.

The Prophet Altar was the life-commitment altar cultivated by the Prophet Demon Master since becoming a Prophet Demon Master, using his own power and countless Heaven and Earth Treasures to condense it.

As long as the person is there, the altar remains!

Once the person is dead, the altar collapses!

The collapse of the Prophet Altar signifies the fall of the Prophet Demon Master.

In the demon clan, any noble demon clan member with any status would know of this matter.

Upon hearing this, the single eye of the Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun froze, his face turned pale, chest trembled, and a stream of blood arrows suddenly spewed from his mouth, causing him to fall backward!
