Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable Chapter 311 310: Subduing the Golden Roc

"Wh-what exactly do you want?"

The Golden-winged Roc wore a bitter expression.

From the mont Yang Xiao had chosen to imprison him in the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace instead of killing him outright, he knew this man who had killed his brother...

...was after sothing from him.

He had already resolved that no matter what, even if it ant death, he would not let this man succeed.

So, the mont he was released, he didn't hesitate to try and provoke Yang Xiao.

But he never expected…

'This guy is completely unpredictable! Isn't he afraid I'd rather die than submit?'

The Golden-winged Roc was utterly miserable.

It was also his bad luck for being released at the wrong ti.

Yang Xiao was anxious and short-tempered; why would he bother using conventional thods to subdue him?

He would just use brute force.

If there was defiance, it would be beaten down.

And if that still didn't work…

...then his only option was to extract the Essence Blood and refine it directly.

'A Pure Blood Divine Beast cub like this is a Top Grade ingredient for cultivating a Supre True Body. If this kid still dares to be arrogant, I'll just refine him and be done with it!'

The mont the thought ford, his killing intent stirred.

Yang Xiao sized up the Golden-winged Roc.

It sent a shiver through the creature's heart.

Yet, he put on a brave face, trying to maintain his dignity as a Divine Beast.

"I'll give you one choice: submit to !"

Yang Xiao said coldly.

"Submit? You want to be your servant? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The Golden-winged Roc imdiately shrieked.

He had thought Yang Xiao might be a little more subtle, but he never imagined he'd be so blunt.

How could the dignity of a Divine Beast allow him to yield?

Impossible.

'Besides, he killed my brother!'

With that thought, the Golden-winged Roc decided he would rather die than submit.

But when he saw Yang Xiao's icy gaze...

...his heart trembled once more.

'Just as I thought! This guy! This is too crude and brutal! He's trying to crush to death!'

The Golden-winged Roc saw the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace rise again.

He grumbled inwardly.

He was about to change his answer.

Unfortunately…

...because of that internal grumble…

...he was half a beat too slow.

So, with a SLAM...

...the Golden-winged Roc was slamd to the ground again.

Just when he thought it was over and that Yang Xiao would ask for his answer again...

...the Golden-winged Roc saw...

...the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace fly up once more.

And then...

...it continued to press down.

SLAM!

SLAM! SLAM!

Over and over again.

It was just like before, but what made the Golden-winged Roc's heart race with panic was that this ti, Yang Xiao's face was devoid of expression, and he showed no sign of stopping.

One ti, two tis, three tis…

Soon…

...it had happened more than ten tis.

The Golden-winged Roc was on the verge of death, unable to even twitch.

But Yang Xiao…

...still hadn't let him go.

He was still suppressing him.

It was as if he truly intended to kill him.

At this mont…

...the Golden-winged Roc was utterly terrified.

He was a Divine Beast! He had a limitless lifespan! Once he reached adulthood, he was guaranteed to beco a True God! How could such a noble existence die just like this?

'So, should I really beco his servant?'

The Golden-winged Roc was unwilling.

But when the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace ca crashing down rcilessly once more...

...the unwillingness in his eyes vanished.

'If this is the only way to live, then... I guess I'll choose to be a servant.'

At this mont…

...he had lost all shred of arrogance. He didn't even dare to hesitate for a second.

He shouted loudly, "I agree! I agree! Stop!"

But the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace still ca down.

SPLAT.

The Golden-winged Roc felt as if every single part of him was being crushed to pieces.

Even his Divine Soul seed to have been wounded.

'Just one more ti... and I'll probably die.'

'Was I too late? Does he really not want to subdue anymore?'

The Golden-winged Roc felt himself drifting, his consciousness blurring.

"Since you've agreed, then swear the oath."

And at that mont, Yang Xiao's voice drifted over faintly.

The Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace had already risen.

Yet it remained hovering over the Golden-winged Roc's head, as if ready to crush him to death if he made the slightest wrong move.

"I, Jin Yan of the Golden-winged Roc Clan, swear an oath to heaven and earth. I am willing to submit to Yang Xiao of the Human Race as my master, to never betray him in this life. Should I violate this oath, may heaven and earth strike down!"

The Golden-winged Roc's weak voice rang out.

As Divine Beast cubs, they were beloved by heaven and earth. Ordinary slave imprints and the like were impossible to place on them; only an oath sworn to heaven and earth would be binding.

That was why Yang Xiao wanted him to swear an oath to heaven and earth.

"Good. Your na is Jin Yan? That na suits well."

Yang Xiao said faintly.

He then glanced at the Golden-winged Roc.

Seeing the creature's terrible state, he couldn't help but frown. 'I was too heavy-handed just now. In his current state, he'll need a long ti to recover. What a loss.'

But Yang Xiao also knew…

...that if he hadn't been so ruthless and made the creature feel the touch of death…

...given the arrogant nature of the Golden-winged Roc Clan, it would have been impossible for it to submit to him.

Subduing it now was still a good thing.

Once this fellow recovered, he would at least have the combat power of soone approaching the Great Divine Power Realm. Furthermore, the Golden-winged Roc had been trapped on the third layer of the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion, unable to break through due to the rules of the space.

But now, he was the master of the Sword Mansion. He could directly lift that restriction and take him out to achieve a breakthrough. Once he broke through and beca a Tier Seven Demon Beast…

...the Golden-winged Roc's strength would be even greater.

It could fight above its station, challenging Tier Eight Great Demons equivalent to the Great Divine Power Realm. Moreover, it would probably reach the Peak of Great Divine Power very quickly after breaking through.

It might not be any weaker than his own Fire God Clone.

"Since you're in no condition to fight, there's only one other way. Jin Yan, hand over half of your Lifebound Blood. I have a use for it."

Yang Xiao said coolly, looking at the Golden-winged Roc.

At these words…

...the Golden-winged Roc's face stiffened.

He wanted to curse Yang Xiao's mother.

But then he recalled Yang Xiao's rcilessness from before.

Besides, he had already sworn the oath to heaven and earth.

He couldn't possibly attack Yang Xiao anymore.

He could only swallow his anger.

And chalk it up to bad luck.

"Hurry up. I don't have ti to dawdle with you."

Yang Xiao urged.

The Golden-winged Roc, Jin Yan, could only speed up the process, forcing out half of his Essence Blood. It ford a large, round sphere that flew toward Yang Xiao.

Seeing this large, shimring golden ball of Divine Beast Blood, Yang Xiao felt a flicker of excitent.

'With half of Jin Yan's Essence Blood, plus all the Essence Blood from that Hairy Roc on the 2nd Layer, I can cultivate a powerful Golden Roc Clone. Its strength might not be much weaker than the current Jin Yan, and in terms of speed, with my comprehension of the void, it might even be faster.'

As the thought crossed his mind, Yang Xiao began to condense the Golden Roc Divine Blood, refining its impurities. He then rged it with all the Essence Blood from the Hairy Roc, getting rid of the dross to keep the essence.

Then, he refined it into his own body, nurturing it with his True Greater Yang Fire.

Soon…

...a shimring, golden Golden-Winged Roc True Body instantly erged from his body.

Its aura…

...was at the Peak of the Small Divine Power Realm!

Just then, a blood-red figure approached from a distance.

It was none other than Xue Yi, whom Yang Xiao had also subdued previously.

From the look on her face, she seed to have a favor to ask.
