Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Self-Sabotage Cultivation Level

Ling Xiao’s words left Kong He trembling with fear, feeling as if his entire body had been drenched with ice-cold spring water, chilling his heart to the extreme.

”Sha Tong Tian, what is your choice?”

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

Within his casual inquiry was a tone that brooked no doubt.

Sha Tong Tian looked towards Jiao Batian, still unable to make up his mind.

”You don’t need to look at him anymore; he is now nothing but my puppet,”

Ling Xiao openly stated that he had no more use for Jiao Batian.

Hearing this, everyone felt a chilling terror.

Ling Xiao had actually taken control of the Sea Emperor!

He had taken control of the Emperor of the True Demon Empire!

No wonder the Sea Emperor suddenly invited everyone to attend the banquet today; it was all Ling Xiao’s strategy.

As soon as he withdrew his Soul Power, Jiao Batian collapsed to the ground, and in an instant, his body disintegrated.

This scene completely deflated Sha Tong Tian’s fighting spirit, and he sighed in despair, ”Chosen Son of Heaven, this time the Sea Race admits defeat. I am willing to have the Sea Race retreat to the Stormy Ocean.”

”Very good, your choice is wise.”

Ling Xiao responded with a slight smile, ”However, that’s not enough. All of you here must cripple your own Cultivation Level, or else you know the consequences.”

Although Ling Xiao did not wish to commit a massacre, he was not about to let Sha Tong Tian and the others go. What if they caused trouble after being released?

Thus, the most direct method was to destroy these ruffians’ cultivation. Without these experts, the Sea Race simply couldn’t become a threat.

Of course, things in the future might change, but that’s for later. For now, Ling Xiao can drive these ruffians back to the Stormy Ocean, then build defenses and rebuild the Sacred Dynasty.

Of course, the name of the country would need to change, and all things would have to be redefined.

His fresh memories included a complete and effective political system that could be used for reference, which he believed would be very good.

As for the name of the country, he planned to simply call it the Heavenly Dynasty.

In the future, once he had collected all the Ancient Nine Dragons, he could use them as guardian Divine Beasts of the Heavenly Dynasty and confidently enter Heaven’s Chosen Gate.

Of course, those were future endeavors. Currently, he still needed to deal with the troublesome Sea Race.

It was certain that he couldn’t kill all the Sea Race. Even if he killed Sha Tong Tian and these Sea Clan Warriors, there would be more fighting against him.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to first offer kindness followed by force.

The mighty First Demon General, who might not have even known who Ling Xiao was or cared to consider him before, yet today ironically found his life in Ling Xiao’s hands.

Sha Tong Tian looked at Ling Xiao and asked, ”What if we refuse to cripple our own cultivation?”

”That’s fine, but then I won’t be so kind as to help you cripple your cultivation, because it’s too troublesome. So I might choose a massacre instead! I give you fifteen minutes. If there is anyone here who hasn’t crippled their cultivation by then, I’ll have to do it myself.”

Ling Xiao’s voice remained indifferent, as if he were discussing a very ordinary matter.

He now had the power and the ability to be so domineering!

”The countdown begins!”

Ling Xiao stated lightly.

”There’s no need to think it over, I will listen to you,”

Sha Tong Tian suddenly said.

”You are indeed tactful and also very smart,”

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Sha Tong Tian forced a bitter smile.

Smart?

He was simply helpless.

Having witnessed Ling Xiao’s arrogant and domineering actions, he was absolutely certain that Ling Xiao would dare to slaughter all of the Sea Clan present.

As a member of the Sea Race, Sha Tong Tian may regard human lives as expendable, but he values the lives of his own Sea Race very highly.

Therefore, no matter what, he actually had only one choice, and that was to cripple his own cultivation.

”Start, whoever hesitates, I’ll help them personally.”

Sha Tong Tian knew that among those present, not every Sea Clan Warrior had his level of resolve, so he had to ensure that all of them crippled their cultivation.

Otherwise, if even one person failed to do so, all his efforts would be in vain.

”I’ll go first!”

Bai Qianjiao took a deep breath and suddenly raised her hand, striking towards the location of her Heavenly Pulse.

”You don’t have to.”

Before Bai Qianjiao could make her move, Ling Xiao lightly waved his hand to stop her.

”Why?”

”Because I think you’re not a bad woman, it’s just a pity we’re currently enemies. I hope you understand, if the Sea Race wants to live on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, I’m not against it, but not through conquest.”

Ling Xiao had a very good impression of Bai Qianjiao, and he couldn’t bear to see her cultivation be crippled.

”What about my junior sister?”

Bai Qianjiao asked.

”She can’t. You saw what happened just now. I truly detest women like your junior sister; she must cripple her own cultivation.”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

”Ling Xiao, I’m from the Phoenix God College, do you dare let me cripple my cultivation?”

Hong Li was terrified.

She had cultivated for so many years, and it wasn’t easy to achieve the cultivation level she had today. Was she really expected to cripple and retrain it? That was just too cruel.

”Don’t bring up the Phoenix God College to me, or I’ll kill you right now!”

Ling Xiao said coldly.

”I can’t just watch my junior sister cripple her cultivation and be safe myself, thank you for your kind intentions.”

Bai Qianjiao sighed; she felt a hint of warmth in her heart, but unfortunately, if Hong Li were in trouble and she was unscathed, returning to the Sea Race, she would still not have a good outcome.

So, she had no choice but to cripple her own cultivation.

”As you wish.”

Ling Xiao also felt some regret, but he could not compromise.

Ultimately, Bai Qianjiao’s delicate jade-like hand struck down on her own Heavenly Pulse, and fresh crimson blood streamed from her mouth; her Heavenly Origin Power was completely dispersed, and at this moment, she became even weaker than an ordinary person.

Ling Xiao felt a pang of pity; he stepped forward to support Bai Qianjiao. While no one was paying attention, he surreptitiously slipped a pill into her mouth, saying, ”Why put yourself through this?”

The pill was to protect the Heavenly Pulse.

It would allow Bai Qianjiao’s crippled cultivation to recover faster, which was a bit of indulgence on Ling Xiao’s part.

With Bai Qianjiao setting the example, someone finally gritted their teeth and started to comply.

However, those who truly had the determination to cripple their cultivation were, after all, only a minority. Most were crippled by Sha Tong Tian’s doing.

”Chosen Son of Heaven, I hope you will keep your promise.”

Having said that, Sha Tong Tian also crippled his own cultivation.

Among those present, his cultivation level was the highest. Once crippled, his loss was the greatest. This man truly was a good man of the Sea Race.

Regrettable as it was, they were currently on opposing sides, so Ling Xiao could not afford to be soft-hearted.

”Rest assured, your people of the Sea Race can go now. Just make sure not to cause trouble; you know the consequences.”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Though his tone was indifferent, it was indeed a threat.
