"The aura..." The shock in Li Tian's heart was like a raging tide.
Having personally experienced the aura of a powerful being from the Heavenly Realm, he understood very well that the terrifying aura that had swept out from Fang Chen's body earlier was not something a warrior from the Heavenly Realm could possess.
Although that aura was merely a trace and vanished quickly, it still left an unparalleled impact on Li Tian and the others. This aura likely originated from the Daoist Master Realm, or even from a Peerless Strongman of the Nirvana Realm!
Fang Chen could not possibly be the owner of this aura, yet it undeniably emanated from him. Could it be that Fang Chen was connected to such a terrifying existence?
Li Tian's eyes brightened as this thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If that were true, then perhaps submitting to Fang Chen wouldn't be such a disgraceful thing after all.
It should be noted that even within the Snowmang Kingdom, warriors of the Heavenly Realm were already at the pinnacle. As for beings above the Heavenly Realm, it seemed none had appeared for centuries. Even within the Ziyang Sect, it was said there was only one being at the Daoist Master Realm. If there truly was a Peerless Strongman behind Fang Chen, the benefits contained therein would be self-evident. Even a casual gesture from such an existence could yield immense rewards for them.
However...
Li Tian shook his head, his expression filled with uncertainty. If Fang Chen really had such a terrifying existence backing him, why would he need to seek out the Ziyang Sect? Moreover, as far as he knew, Fang Chen came from a remote place within the Great Zhao Kingdom and had no powerful forces behind him; how could he possibly be connected to such a fearsome entity?
Yet if there was absolutely no connection between them, Li Tian found that hard to believe. Thoughts raced through his mind as his emotions fluctuated wildly; at this moment, the expressions of Li Tian and his four companions were constantly changing.
At that moment, Fang Chen spoke for the third time.
"Submit or die?"
As he spoke, Fang Chen took a step toward Li Tian and his companions. A chilling light surged rapidly in his dark eyes, and a powerful aura firmly locked onto Li Tian and his group. Simultaneously, the Dark Power that had been rolling back under the influence of that trace of Nirvana Realm's terrifying aura surged tightly around Li Tian and his companions, as if it could transform into a colossal wave at any moment to completely devour them.
Everything indicated that Fang Chen's patience had reached its limit. If they did not submit, all that awaited them was Fang Chen's full-force attack.
If previously, Li Tian still held a glimmer of hope that he could escape from Fang Chen's grasp, then at this moment, after sensing the terrifying aura of the Nirvana Realm emanating from Fang Chen, that last shred of hope vanished without a trace.
As he looked at Fang Chen's calm yet menacing face, Li Tian felt increasingly aware of the depth and unpredictability of this young man. At the same time, his original thoughts began to waver.
"Submitting to such a person may not be an entirely unacceptable thing," Li Tian murmured to himself. The moment those words left his mouth, he couldn't help but feel surprised. However, his gaze flickered slightly, and he began to struggle internally once again.
In the current situation, if they did not submit, they would face Fang Chen's full-scale annihilation. Given the strength Fang Chen had displayed and the Dark Power surrounding them, how many of the five could truly submit? The most likely outcome was that all five would perish. On the other hand, submitting meant losing his freedom and having his life and death entirely in Fang Chen's hands. Even if there was a possibility of an unparalleled existence beyond the Heavenly Realm behind Fang Chen… it was just too hard to accept!
Li Tian clenched his hands tightly, not even noticing as his nails dug into his palms. Faced with Fang Chen's relentless pressure and the life-and-death crisis surrounding him, the intense internal struggle threatened to tear him apart.
At that moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded beside Li Tian.
"I submit."
Beside Li Tian, a very ordinary-looking young man dressed in black slowly knelt halfway before Fang Chen. He lowered his head and uttered those three words before falling silent.
"Xi Mu Yun!"
Li Tian and the others were taken aback. Although they had all felt some wavering after sensing Fang Chen's terrifying aura from the Nirvana Realm, no one expected that Xi Mu Yun would be the first among them to speak up in submission.
Xi Mu Yun was the last person among the five aside from Li Tian, Shizhongpeng, Zhou Yan, and Qin Feng. Unlike the other four, Xi Mu Yun had always been extremely low-key and was shrouded in mystery in their eyes. Even Li Tian, who led the group, was unsure of Xi Mu Yun's true limits of power.
Meeting the gazes of Li Tian and the others, Xi Mu Yun calmly raised his head. His eyes were clear as he said, "I don't want to die yet." After a pause, he turned his gaze toward Fang Chen and continued, "I see infinite hope in him. Submitting to him is not something to be ashamed of."
"Infinite hope." The bodies of Li Tian and the others trembled slightly as shock appeared in their eyes.
Others may not understand the significance of Xi Mu Yun's words, but they are well aware that receiving such an evaluation from the intuitively accurate Xi Mu Yun means that Fang Chen's martial arts future is undoubtedly bright. As long as he does not falter, he may even reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future.
"I am willing to submit."
"I am willing to submit."
"…"
After Xi Mu Yun's words fell, the four who were still struggling, Li Tian and his companions, immediately knelt down one by one. Within just a few breaths, all five of them were half-kneeling on the ground, expressing their submission. Even Zhou Yan, who had been severely injured by Fang Chen at the beginning, dispelled the deep resentment in his eyes and instead appeared fearful.
"Haha, good." Fang Chen laughed. In fact, the so-called submission was merely a whim he had thought of suddenly. Even he did not believe that Li Tian and his companions would truly submit entirely; after all, every genius has their pride, and for a genius like Li Tian, that pride is even more pronounced. It would not be easy to make them submit. He had originally thought that perhaps after killing a few of them with explosive force, someone might submit, but he did not expect it to turn out this way.
As the laughter subsided, Fang Chen's expression became serious as he looked at Li Tian and his companions and said, "Open your minds and allow me to place a strand of Power of Creation into your Soul Sea."
Since it was submission, mere verbal promises were obviously insufficient. As long as Fang Chen placed a strand of Power of Creation into their Soul Sea, with just a thought later on, he could completely detonate their Soul Sea; that would be true life-and-death control.
Upon hearing this, Li Tian and his companions nodded and opened their minds, allowing Fang Chen to transfer a strand of Power of Creation into their Soul Sea.
After completing this process, Fang Chen's smile grew even wider. The submission of Li Tian and his companions was undoubtedly a significant gain for him—a card no one had expected! Moreover, in the future, Li Tian and his companions would enter Ziyang Sect; with their strength, they were very likely to become disciples of Ziyang Sect.
For Fang Chen, this meant he had preemptively subdued five future disciples of Ziyang Sect. This would bring him tremendous benefits within Ziyang Sect in the future.
"Get up." Fang Chen smiled. As he spoke, he flicked his finger towards Zhou Yan, who was slightly trembling and weak among the five. A small white beam of light shot out from his fingertip. The beam gently circled around Zhou Yan before directly entering his body.
"Fang Chen, you…" Li Tian exclaimed in alarm to stop him. However, he soon seemed to realize something and his expression changed slightly. At this moment, he had already submitted to Fang Chen; life and death were entirely in the latter's control. Such a reprimand while directly calling out Fang Chen's name was undoubtedly reckless and could potentially bring him great peril.
However, the terrifying event he feared did not occur. Fang Chen simply waved his hand lightly, and at that moment, under the gaze of Li Tian and the others, the dense Death Power that had enveloped Zhou Yan began to dissipate rapidly. Simultaneously, the extremely weak aura surrounding Zhou Yan suddenly improved significantly.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Yan opened his tightly shut eyes and felt the changes within his body. At this moment, he held immense admiration for Fang Chen. Others might not know, but he was very clear about what had happened inside him.
"Death Power can actually be transformed into Life Force! This is simply unbelievable!" Zhou Yan was shocked. It was precisely because of the Life Force transformed from Death Power that his body, which had been weakened to the extreme, experienced such a rapid recovery.
"In the future, you don't need to call me Master; just address me by my name," Fang Chen said. He then cast a faint glance at the somewhat pale Li Tian and added, "There won't be a next time."
Upon hearing Fang Chen's words and feeling his already damp back, Li Tian finally let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He looked deeply at Fang Chen and then respectfully lowered his head, completely erasing the last bit of pride he had.
Smart people do smart things. Since he had already submitted to Fang Chen, there were certain taboos he naturally would not touch upon again.
"I will let you go shortly. Remember not to let others know about our relationship; externally, you only need to maintain an attitude of hostility towards me," Fang Chen's voice suddenly rang in the ears of Li Tian and the others.
The five were not foolish; as soon as Fang Chen's words echoed, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in their eyes. Now they were like grasshoppers on the same rope with Fang Chen—sharing glory and disaster together. If anything happened to Fang Chen, they would definitely not have a good outcome either.
If their relationship with Fang Chen remained undisclosed, it would be beneficial for both them and Fang Chen without any harm. In fact, at certain critical moments, it might even become an opportunity for a turnaround.
