Chapter 109: Subjugation

How powerful were Chen Ansheng’s divine sense and mental strength?

How could they be thwarted by the Dragon Lord’s small sneak attack?

As soon as he noticed, he remained composed and secretly activated his celestial power to enhance his defensive celestial armor.

This celestial armor was considered a celestial treasure even in the celestial realm; how could it possibly be breached by a mere cultivator at the ninth level of the lower realm!

Crack!

The dragon’s claw struck Chen Ansheng’s neck, but the claw nearly broke.

“How is this possible!”

The Dragon Lord was filled with fear and instinctively wanted to withdraw and flee, but at that moment, Chen Ansheng moved.

His blood energy surged rapidly, and celestial power condensed into his celestial sword as he swung it backhandedly.

“Roar!”

A deafening cry shattered the space within a hundred zhang radius.

From the shattered space, a black shadow shot into the sky, scorching dragon blood splattering down, igniting the earth.

“You, how could you break through my defenses!”

The Dragon Lord stared at the pristine white sword in Chen Ansheng’s hand, his heart racing with fear.

Chen Ansheng narrowed his eyes at the Dragon Lord, who had lost a claw, and said faintly, “Just an insignificant bug; tearing you apart is as easy as pie. Why are you so surprised?”

“You!”

The Dragon Lord suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of unease.

“This isn’t right. This person has too strange an origin; he might be a being from the forbidden zone, definitely not someone I can provoke. It’s better for me to flee today!”

Having been trapped for tens of thousands of years, the Dragon Lord had only just escaped half a month ago; he certainly did not wish to take risks and lose his life.

Thinking this, the Dragon Lord did not hesitate, crashing through the space to escape.

“Flee?”

Chen Ansheng narrowed his eyes. After making such a big commotion today, he wasn’t satisfied at all and wouldn’t let him escape!

Chen Ansheng locked onto the Dragon Lord with his divine sense and teleported after him.

A thousand miles away, Chen Ansheng appeared, swinging his sword forward with one hand.

Boom…

The space cracked, and the purple dragon breath shield on the Dragon Lord was sliced through by the celestial sword, causing him to fall out of the shattered space, tumbling several kilometers away.

In shock, the Dragon Lord looked down at his chest.

Not only was his celestial armor destroyed with a single strike, but many of his dragon scales had also broken.

“This is bad. With such a strong celestial armor and celestial sword, I cannot possibly be his opponent. Today is perilous!”

The Dragon Lord’s true form was a black dragon at the ninth level of the celestial realm, meaning its scales were theoretically tougher than even the best celestial weapons, which was its greatest reliance!

But to his surprise, there existed a celestial sword capable of breaking through his dragon scales.

“Please, slow down, brother. I have something to say.”

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Lord no longer felt proud and wanted to bow down and seek peace with Chen Ansheng.

“You can talk, but I won’t listen,” Chen Ansheng teased.

The Dragon Lord was left dumbfounded for a moment, then thick-skinnedly said, “Dao brother, we have no enmity; why must we fight to the death? I am willing to become brothers with you today and share the world. You rise high, and I will remain low. What do you think?”

Chen Ansheng crossed his arms and pretended to ignore him.

The Dragon Lord grew anxious; he truly did not want to fight to the death.

So, in a pleading tone, he said, “Good Dao brother, I have some innate purple lotus roots here. You can take them; let’s be friends.”

“Innate purple lotus?”

Chen Ansheng’s heart stirred.

This was a very precious medicinal material; “innate” referred to life cultivated from the innate path of the Great Dao, and it was hard to find in both the celestial and lower realms.

Its roots were among the most important materials in the Body Transformation Technique, worth no less than that of the “Devouring Celestial Insect.”

“Truly a windfall; bring it to me!”

Chen Ansheng beckoned, secretly grateful that he hadn’t acted immediately, or even if he killed the dragon, he wouldn’t have obtained this medicine.

The reason lay in the rules imposed by the mustard seed bag and storage bag.

It was said that this rule was forged by ten ancient celestial emperors to prevent cultivators from killing each other for treasures.

Otherwise, after endless years of slaughter in both the cultivation and celestial realms, they would have long been exterminated.

The Dragon Lord, hearing this, finally relaxed and used his celestial power to send four roots to Chen Ansheng. “Good Dao brother, I have a slight enmity with the Long Family, but that was because I did not know you were protecting them. After this, I promise to clear up any grievances with the Long Family and will never offend you again. Please forgive me.”

Chen Ansheng accepted the purple lotus roots, checked them, and confirmed they contained a certain unknown path, surely not fake.

Seeing the Dragon Lord so sincere and humble, Chen Ansheng felt quite pleased.

“You’re quite cunning, good at reading the situation,” Chen Ansheng said, his gaze indifferent. “As long as you wear this collar and obey my command from now on, I’ll spare your life.”

The collar Chen Ansheng summoned was a gift from a high elder when he was trapped in the Alien World not long ago.

This collar had the function to subjugate demonic celestial beings. Chen Ansheng had originally planned to keep it for later when he needed to subjugate a celestial fox or similar creature, but it was necessary now.

“This… Dao brother, you’re going too far. Are you treating me like a beast?” The Dragon Lord thought about retreating, but he believed he hadn’t yet fallen to the level of becoming someone’s pet.

Chen Ansheng laughed, “I am not that kind of person; befriending me will surely benefit you. How could I treat you like a beast? However, if you refuse, we’ll have to fight!”

Saying this, Chen Ansheng activated two celestial symbols, one a spatial lock to firmly restrain the Dragon Lord. The other was a high-level killing celestial symbol, which when activated, manifested the law of the heavens into a dark sword body, floating in the sky.

“Damn, this guy is way too terrifying. He’s actually capable of such means!”

Looking at the slaying sword hovering in the sky, the Dragon Lord felt he could cry but had no tears.

He already felt he might not win against the one before him, and now that the opponent was using apocalyptic killing methods, he had no chance left.

Sigh, accept your fate.

“Dao brother, slow down! Please don’t attack!”

The Dragon Lord had no other choice. To preserve his life, he had to grit his teeth and put on the collar.

As he obediently donned it, the collar’s rules took effect, and within the Dragon Lord’s consciousness, Chen Ansheng became his supreme master.

Seeing this, Chen Ansheng was very satisfied.

After all, if he were to use a master-servant contract, the other party would definitely not willingly submit, and regarding a puppet contract, it would deprive this little dragon of self-awareness and growth potential, rendering it useless.

“Very good. Your true form is a black dragon. From today onward, I shall call you Little Hei,” Chen Ansheng said.

“……” The Dragon Lord looked like he wanted to die and said, “Master, can’t we have a different name? That name sounds like a common household dog.”

“Is that so?” Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow. “Let me think… Got it! Since your true form is big, black, and rough, I’ll call you ‘Heizhu.’ That sounds good; any objections?”

Heizhu felt like crying again and rolled his eyes.

“Heizhu, obey!” Chen Ansheng began to issue his first command. “Immediately transform into your dragon form and fight me with all your strength!”

Heizhu: “???”
