Danzun War God

Chapter 235 Submission

The roc instantly cowered, losing all its initial arrogance. It prostrated itself on the ground and cried out, "Young hero, spare my life! I am willing to submit! I am willing to submit!"

Han Qi immediately communicated with the little demon, telling him to stop. At this moment, the little demon had already arrived at the primordial spirit's dojo of the Roc, and had transformed into a giant mouth, ready to swallow the primordial spirit of the Roc whole.

Upon hearing Han Qi's words, Xiao Yao immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and reluctantly stopped.

Han Qi then spoke to the roc, saying, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"

The roc, still shaken, said, "However, I have a condition."

"Conditions? Tell me about them," Han Qi said calmly, his expression as still as a deep well.

The roc then composed itself and said, "After I submit to you, you cannot ask me to deal with the God and Demon Lord. Everything else is negotiable."

Han Qi and the Demon King exchanged a glance. They could understand the Roc's request and couldn't help but think more highly of the Roc. However, they still wanted to try their best to get a powerful expert like the Roc, as he would definitely be of great help to them in the future. Han Qi nodded and said, "Alright, I can grant your request. Let's sign the soul contract then."

The roc sighed. "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It's already good enough that you're alive."

The little demon also reluctantly withdrew from the Roc's life palace. Immediately, a golden light shot out from between Han Qi's eyebrows and entered the Roc's eyebrows without resistance, directly connecting with the primordial spirit in the life palace. As Han Qi finished chanting an incantation, the two had completed the signing of the contract.

Han Qi then put away the star chart. The roc, like a wronged little wife, followed behind Han Qi with a dejected look on its face. At this moment, its size had shrunk to only that of a person.

Seeing that Han Qi had successfully subdued the Roc, the Demon King and his men finally showed joy. They hadn't expected to defeat this thorn in their side so easily.

After a quick tidying up, the group prepared to leave this realm within a realm. At this moment, the little demon jumped onto the roc's back, patted the roc's head with a small hand, and said, "You recognized me as your master later than I did, which means I'm older than you. You have to listen to me from now on, understand?"

The roc glanced at Han Qi, feeling utterly helpless. Although Han Qi was its nemesis, it said irritably, "Fine, I got it!"

"What? Not convinced?"

The little demon sensed the dissatisfaction in the roc's tone, and immediately released its full aura, which made the roc shudder and tremble. It hurriedly said, "No, I remember, boss!"

"Hmph! That's more like it!" the little demon said arrogantly.

At this moment, the Roc was internally devastated. He, a mighty Roc, had been so humiliated by a mere, insignificant flame, and couldn't even retaliate—what a disgrace! But in this era where the strong rule, what can you do if the other party is more powerful than you?

At this moment, the sealing array had lost its effect due to the fluctuations in the array, and they walked out easily. The roc glanced at the relief on the stone wall, which was a symbol of his former glory, but now it looked dim and dull.

"Master, can the sealing formation here be lifted? Otherwise, I'll be caught by this formation again in a day, and I won't be able to leave this dark forest." The roc said with a worried expression.

Upon hearing this, Han Qi turned his gaze to the old demon king, who nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

Han Qi then said to the Roc, "That's no problem. But do you know what the relationship is between the Tree of Life and this sealing formation?"

Upon hearing that he could break free from the seal and injection, the Roc finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was forced to submit to Han Qi, he gained freedom in return, which was worthwhile.

The roc hurriedly said in a flattering tone, "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but after so many years in this formation, I've noticed a clue. Activating this formation requires a person's primordial spirit as the formation's eye. I think the recovery of the Tree of Life can affect the primordial spirit at the needle's eye, which is why the formation fluctuates."

“Indeed, when we activated the great formation, my strategist suddenly vomited blood and died. I suppose the primordial spirit that the Roc spoke of was his.” At this moment, the Demon King recalled the scene when the formation was activated and then spoke.

"The formation that sealed the ever-changing demon god is also this great formation. Could the primordial spirit of this formation be the Fire God's own?" General Black Tiger thought of the great formation that sealed the ever-changing demon god at this moment.

Upon hearing the General's words, Han Qi immediately replied, "The General's thoughts coincide with mine; that's what I think too."

Then Han Qi said to Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, why are you in Tianxing Pavilion?"

The little demon rested its chin on its hand, deep in thought, looking incredibly cute. Everyone was once again charmed by its adorable, dazed expression. After a moment of thought, the little demon said, "I only remember that one day the Fire God told me he would take me to a place and that someone would bring me out to assist him. Then he took me to a house where I couldn't move at all. I don't know how many years passed before a few people appeared. At that time, I was so hungry that I devoured their souls."

Then, Master, you came in too. I almost devoured your primordial spirit, but then the Fire God appeared and took me away. However, at that time, the Fire God was only a remnant soul, attached to a stone statue, and then I ended up here.

Han Qi didn't get many useful clues from the little demon's words, but at least one thing made him understand: the pairs of skeletons he saw in the sixth level of the Heavenly Walker Pavilion were definitely the previous Heavenly Walkers, but their primordial spirits had been devoured by the little demon.

"It seems that the God of Fire foresaw today's events and made preparations in advance. Presumably, the primordial spirit in the sealing array of the Hundred Transformations God and Demon is the God of Fire himself. In other words, the God of Fire was not killed by the Hundred Transformations God and Demon, but did it intentionally." The old demon king said thoughtfully.

“That’s right. The only problem now is that we need to figure out how the Tree of Life and the Array Primordial Spirit influence each other. This is closely related to the safety of the Hundred Transformations God and Demon’s sealing array,” Han Qi said solemnly.

"Han Qi is absolutely right. If only we could find the strategist's primordial spirit," the old demon king said with burning eyes.

“Since the primordial spirit is the core of the formation, as long as the formation is still there, the core primordial spirit will remain. We can start from this point, and in the same way, we can strengthen the formation of the Hundred Transformations God and Demon.” Upon hearing what the old demon king said, Han Qi’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but admire the demon king’s wisdom.
