How Much For Your Soul

Since Yu Yan could only train in the Fire Law, Shen Yue decided to make the most of the area they were training in and absorb the Law of Water. This would stop him from stealing all the energy when cultivating the same Law next to each other.

Although there could only be one Spiritual God for each Law, that did not mean that no one else could train in that Law. It only stopped someone from taking the final step and merging with the Power of Law to become a Spiritual God.

Since the area was overflowing in the Water Law, Shen Yue's progress was five times as quick in understanding it compared to the Fire Law. A week later, when he had reached ninety-nine percent completion, he decided it was time to lure some demon beasts into a trap.

Looking over at the raging inferno that was Yu Yan, he yelled out for her to stop.

"It's time to take revenge for humankind, I plan to return the favour when the beasts drove us into hiding! We need to head to the desert to the east after retrieving my army." Said Shen Yue, driving Yu Yan's enthusiasm to the maximum level.

"Yes! I have waited for tens of thousands of years for this! Fate has brought you to me! You truly are the saviour I have been waiting for!" She gushed, as she hugged him passionately.

She was completely different from her aloof self when he had first met her. Yu Yan now gave off the feeling of a girl in love, and it was quite adorable. Of course, this was accomplished by brainwashing, so it was understandable about her drastic change in personality. There was no way the previous aloof Goddess would show a stranger such affection.

Looking down at the fiery beauty, Shen Yue couldn't help but become aroused.

"First, we head to the Endless Desert east of here. Not only will this help your cultivation speed, but it will also draw the attention of the new demon beast Spiritual God when you cultivate out from the barrier. Hopefully, he will charge arrogantly into our trap to save some lives of my men. But before that, I think we need to reward you for your hard work!" He said lustfully, as he wrapped his arms around the petite Goddess of Fire.

The little Fire Goddess blushed, but had an eager gleam in her eye as she tilted her head up to kiss the man that gave meaning to her entire existence! With a blissful moan, she eagerly removed her clothes and let herself be swept away by passion...

After he was finished relieving his lust, and both were presentable again, Shen Yue led the way through the traps. He gathered his guards and flew back to the village on the plateau.

He had drastically cut short his training time at the Black Spring once he realised the benefit of training in an environment suited to the Law being cultivated. As his Water Law had reached its maximum level without stepping into the realm of a Spiritual God, it was pointless to continue staying there.

As most of the army had free reign to hunt in the Infinite Forrest to harvest demon beast materials and spirits, he sent a mental command through his slave seal to order the officers to gather their squads. Since everyone could fly and cover a vast amount of ground quickly, it was not long before the thousand Heavenly Fate realm army had once again assembled.

As Shen Yue was not entirely a despot, the troops' harvest could be sold to the Family at a fair price. Even though he enslaved all his people, it was to protect against betrayal. Besides the several people Shen Yue brainwashed for selfish reasons, the majority enjoyed an affluent lifestyle with the profit they made serving the Nemesis Family. Just because he was a dictator, didn't mean he wanted his people to suffer!

The living standards of his subjects had increased dramatically after being assimilated into his burgeoning empire. Well, the people living as slave labourers or breeding machines would disagree. But he had given his enemies a choice. Since they chose to fight Shen Yue to the end, he didn't care how they were treated when he prevailed against them. They would not have been benevolent if it was him on the losing side!

After stocking up on supplies, the army headed into the desert to find a suitable location for a fight with the most powerful being on the planet! Shen Yue was really counting on Zhu Long's arrogance as a God to not look too carefully at the situation. He ended up just choosing a place deep in the desert where he could see the enemy approaching from a distance.

Something that had surprised and then delighted Shen Yue was that he had found hundreds of new books in his library. The last time he had checked it, was just before heading into the Black Spring.

After a quick investigation, he worked out that the library had scanned all the books Yu Yan had ever read when he sifted through her mind! It seemed that the limitation of needing an hour to search his enemies for books would be significantly reduced if he inscribed their souls with a slave seal.

This new influx of inscription patterns helped expand his library's base knowledge. This would help when it came time to extrapolate all the inscription patterns to create an inscription that suited his needs. Such as was the case now.

The first thing he had to do, was to set up the inscription array to capture Zhu Long. Unfortunately, Nie Li had not read many killing or sealing inscription arrays. But the ones he did, combined with Yu Yan's knowledge, had been modified into suitable traps that would severely limit Zhu Long's movement and strength.

The first inscription array that he had set up was designed to entrap Zhu Long so that the army could launch long-range attacks with impunity. The second array used Yu Yan as a focus and would cover the area in fire energy. Hopefully, this would limit the amount of ice energy Zhu Long could use in retaliation.

The first step was to lure in the two legend idiot brothers so they could bring in the big fish. As Yu Yan was creating a blazing firestorm, the rest of the army was creating defences to counter any attacks that they might receive by the powerful Ice Spiritual God. They were instructed to hide their cultivation level as best as they could, so as not to scare off the two legend rank beasts.

With the Fire Law being blatantly used, it was only ten hours later that dumb and dumber approached at high speed. If Zhu Long was this arrogant, then the battle was already half won! Not caring about the thousand people surrounding Yu Yan, the demon beasts approached.

They were only wearing cloth trousers and had all kinds of strange runes covering their bodies. The first demon beast was very well-built, but with a hunched over body and arms that looked like they belonged to an ape. He had an expression of disdain as he surveyed the small army assembled.

The second demon beast possessed a lean figure, and his hands resembled a hawk's claws. The bridge of his nose was sharp, his eyes glimmering with a chilling light. But he looked ridiculous with his face painted the colour of a rainbow.

"Wretched Yu Yan, we have finally found you. Since you're no longer hiding at that Black Spring turtle shell of yours, we'll show you a good time!" The well-built man bared his teeth, giving others an ominous feeling.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect your body to have already reformed. However, that's also something good. With such a petite body, there'll definitely be a different taste when playing with it!" The skinny one sinisterly said.

"Luqian Sha, Luqian Mo. Back then, both of you chased me to the Black Spring in an attempt to seize my shattered Divine Spark and have been guarding the Black Spring for many years. I never thought that both of you would still be alive! But today, I will have my revenge and kill you both!" Yu Yan coldly stared at her hated foes.

Although they were only Legend rank pinnacle existences, their bodies had been bestowed with a curse and couldn't be easily destroyed. Luqian Sha's origin is a Scarlet Shark while Luqian Mo is a Ghastly Chameleon. Of course, this didn't matter when they had stupidly approached a thousand Heavenly Fate experts! Even Yu Yan had enough strength to kill them with her Divine Spark mostly repaired!

Shen Yue was baffled by their arrogance, or maybe it was stupidity. Either way, before they could spew out any more threats, he gave the signal to capture them. A couple of minutes later, they were trussed up and unconscious. Shen Yue wanted to brand them so he could read their minds before he harvested their spirits.

The loot that was collected was worthy of recognition. The Green Poison Pearl filled with terrifying venom, a Legend rank Silvermoon long sword and a black dragon scale. He would give the sword and scale to Duan Jian when he returned to Glory City. It was nearly time for the starter cities to make contact, so he had a reason for the different races to walk around out in the open.

With the two demon beasts unconscious, it was a simple task to overpower their defences and enslave them. Even though they put up a fight, it was trivial when compared to being awake and in control. Their minds revealed some interesting things.

It seems that they could not perceive the cultivation levels of his men and had assumed that they were ordinary mortals! His men had been ordered not to reveal their auras, but they didn't actually have any particular ability to suppress their level. The Luqian brothers just didn't have any techniques to judge cultivation levels other than when a person's aura was exposed!

Thinking back to the novel, Nie Lie didn't have any ability to disguise his level either! Even though he was a thirteen-year-old gold ranked demon spiritualist, nobody had known until he revealed it in battle! When he had run around creating waves in the Draconic Ruins, only the supreme experts could see through him.

Shen Yue had overestimated his enemies, let's hope that Zhu Long was also unable to perceive the shit storm he was about to walk into!
