This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 1402 40: Alliance of Ninefold Power, Northern Barbar

The pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth did not cease, it suddenly exploded atop the Cloud Sea, piece by piece it shattered, transforming into seventeen massive golden stars burning fiercely.

They trailed long tails of fla, carrying the might of destruction, crashing down with a thunderous roar!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...!

Seventeen thunderous explosions resounded one after another, with the seventeen golden stars precisely and unerringly striking the tops of the seventeen stone pillars.

In an instant, every stone pillar trembled violently.

Roar—!

Screech—!

Screech—!

Hiss—!

The deafening roars, each distinct yet all imbued with primordial oppression, ripped through the space.

Atop each stone pillar, terrifying phantoms, massive as mountains and diverse in form, rapidly coalesced from the endless golden light!

Scale armor glistening, claws rending the sky, wings blocking out the heavens, fangs hideous... Every contour of their bodies exuded an ancient and savage aura. They were indeed the seventeen renowned and formidable Ninth Grade Beasts that once left a notorious na upon the lands of the Northern Barbarians!

The seventeen towering phantoms of Ninth Grade Beasts simultaneously raised their heads, able to shake mountains, roaring towards the vast Sky Do torn apart by the golden light.

The roars converged into a visible golden sonic tidal wave, like a tangible shockwave, sweeping across the land with the altar as the center!

Where the wave reached, the mountains quaked, myriad beasts lay dormant, and the winds and clouds recoiled!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Present at the scene, Wuyana and the others felt their heart and spirit tremble, as if sothing exceedingly heavy had landed upon their hearts amidst an unseen force.

The higher the Realm one possessed, the clearer they could sense this change.

Wuyana knew this was the oath of the Desolate God Alliance becoming reality!

The actions they, the representatives of the Northern Barbarian Seventeen Clans, took with Li Fei on the altar at the beginning, were the 'preamble' to this oath.

The terms of the contract had been pre-determined, following which Li Fei only needed to infuse the Source Blood of the Ninth Grade Beast into the altar for the oath to take effect—

From now on, the Northern Barbarian Seventeen Clans would bow in allegiance to the Da Lan Dynasty!

If they were to breach it, the fate of the Northern Barbarian Seventeen Clans would be affected.

And the Northern Barbarian Seventeen Clans almost represented all tribes of the Northerners; as long as these seventeen clans stood down, the rest of the tribes were incapable of posing any harm to the Da Lan Dynasty.

Atop the altar, Li Fei sensed the oath of the Desolate God Alliance coming into effect.

Without hesitation, he cast the remaining half of the Source Blood into the void.

If all of the Source Blood of a Ninth Grade Beast were used to sustain an oath, it could extend the duration of the oath.

Referring to the last Desolate God Alliance, it lasted for nearly a hundred years!

Now, since Li Fei only used half of the Source Blood, this ti the Desolate God Alliance could likely only last fifty years.

However, Jiao Yuan was stronger than the previous Jiao Ming, so the duration might be longer.

Li Fei deliberately kept half of the Source Blood for signing an oath with Void Pool Clam in the future.

He was not adept in oath-related magic and could only take advantage of the Desolate God Alliance to 'go with the flow' and establish another oath in succession.

But such an oath would significantly reduce the effective ti.

There was no way, as Li Fei now lacked the ti and resources to build another altar to slowly negotiate with Void Pool Clam on how to sign an oath.

Previously, he told those Ninth Grade Beasts they would work for him for a hundred years, it was purely an exorbitant demand.

Even if the other party agreed, the oath couldn't possibly last a hundred years.

In the void, as Void Pool Clam saw the Source Blood flying towards it, sensing the imnse Power of Oath, the contents of the oath naturally surfaced in its heart and spirit:

"Within ten years, Void Pool Clam forms an alliance with Li Fei.

Li Fei is responsible for ensuring Void Pool Clam's safety in the Human World, and Void Pool Clam is responsible for assisting Li Fei when needed, but will not engage in actions endangering its own life.

At the end of the ten years, Li Fei will hand over the {Forget River} Taoism to Void Pool Clam and must not obstruct in any way Void Pool Clam's absorption of the {Forget River} Taoism."

This oath only lasted ten years and the binding terms were not so absolute.

The parties were in an alliance, not a master-servant relationship, so Void Pool Clam would not unquestioningly obey Li Fei.

If faced with extrely dangerous situations, Void Pool Clam would prioritize its own safety and not risk its life for Li Fei.

It seed that Li Fei was trading a Taoism for an uncooperative ally, which appeared to be a disadvantage.

But he possessed a significant advantage — he would only hand over the {Forget River} Taoism to Void Pool Clam after ten years.

To Void Pool Clam, signing this oath ant enduring a ten-year period of risk.

During this ti, no matter what, it had to ensure Li Fei's safety.

If Li Fei died, the oath would beco void, and it might never reclaim the {Forget River} Taoism from human hands.

Li Fei did not need Void Pool Clam to cooperate in everything, but he could use his own safety to forcibly 'bind' the other party!

Henceforth, whenever Li Fei sought 'death', Void Pool Clam would have to accompany him in seeking 'death'.

Initially, Void Pool Clam required Li Fei to directly give it the {Forget River} Taoism; in exchange, it could cooperate with Li Fei for thirty years, or even longer.

But Li Fei refused.

Firstly, because under the second oath set through the Desolate God Alliance, it couldn't possibly last thirty years.

Secondly, he didn't know what changes would occur once the Ninth Grade Beast obtained the Taoism, and if the other party could then forcibly break the constraints of the oath, what then?

Ultimately, Li Fei and Void Pool Clam established such an oath.

Sensing the other three Beasts about to charge out from the Extre Abyss, Void Pool Clam hesitated no longer, and a golden orb of light flew out from its body.
