Chapter 3688 - 3688: Subduing the Demon Exalt

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s heart immediately trembled when he heard the Primeval artifact spirit’s words. He felt an unprecedented threat of death engulf him, which left him both anxious and fearful.

He was a powerful Demon Exalt who specialised in souls. His research and control in this area had already reached a level of mastery. Even if only a feeble wisp of his soul remained, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was confident about possessing any Immortal Emperor with ease.

Let alone the fact that his soul right now was countless times more powerful than just a feeble wisp. In particular, after incinerating his body, he had momentarily strengthened his soul with the remaining power of his body, which allowed his soul to reach half of his peak strength.



Under this state, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was confident about possessing even Immortal Exalts, let alone mere Immortal Emperors.

However, he never thought that the Immortal Emperor he tried to possess would actually have three sovereign god artifacts. This immediately turned the possession that he had absolute confidence in into a pipe dream.

Suppressed by the three sovereign god artifacts, not only was the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt unable to resist, but he did not even have the strength to move.

At this moment, he had already become a sitting duck, completely at Jian Chen’s whim.

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. Would he devour the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s remaining soul to strengthen his own?

Under ordinary circumstances, he would never do that. After all, even if the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt stood no chance against him, he could still flee. However, with the assistance of the three sovereign god artifacts and the fact that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had entered his sea of consciousness himself, that immediately turned something impossible into a possibility.

“If I devour the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul, the benefits I receive won’t be limited to my soul strengthening. I’ll also receive the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s memories.”

“That’s equivalent to... inheriting everything that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt possesses.”



“After all, you’ve already found out about my greatest secret. If I don’t kill you today, you’ll make all of my secrets public the next day, and I’ll probably never be able to find peace.”

“That’s easy.” A unique wisp of the power of the soul floated out from the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s soul. “This is my lifebound true soul. My lifebound true soul is connected to my life. Once my lifebound true soul perishes, I will perish too.”

“I am giving you my lifebound true soul right now. As long as you control my lifebound true soul, it means you control my fate.”

“From today onwards, my life no longer belongs to me but to you.”

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt demonstrated great resolve.

Jian Chen stared at the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s lifebound true soul as he secretly communicated with the artifact spirits of the three sovereign god artifacts.

He was obviously nowhere near as knowledgeable as the three sovereign god artifacts. Jian Chen did not dare to be careless at all as he faced a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt.

“The source of the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s life is condensed from countless resentful thoughts, produced after a series of man-made mutations. This lifebound true soul is equivalent to his life core,” said the Source of Life.

“Apart from this, there’s no better way to go about it for now. After all, master’s cultivation is a little low. Even with some of those ancient slave imprints, it’ll be very difficult to control a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt with master’s current cultivation,” said the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall.



Jian Chen nodded as he extended his finger gently. The lifebound true soul that the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt had offered up flew into the Primeval Divine Hall, suppressed by the Primeval Divine Hall forever.

As for whether the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s lifebound true soul would try and turn against the Primeval Divine Hall, that was not something that Jian Chen was worried about. Unless Grand Exalts took action personally, even Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts would not be able to make the artifact spirit of a sovereign god artifact yield by force.

Having the Primeval Divine Hall watch the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt’s lifebound true soul was truly a perfect safeguard. It dealt with all of the potential problems.
