Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1972

"A trick, huh? Well, I guess it may seem like that to you."

After putting away his weapon, Yuan slowly approached the First Elder.

Seeing this, the First Elder hastily distanced himself from Yuan.

A profound light flickered within Yuan's eyes, and he spoke in a low but commanding tone, "Halt."

"?!?!"

The First Elder was greatly shocked when his body suddenly stopped listening to his commands and halted all movements.

"Get on your knees."

As if Yuan's words held dominion over his very soul, the First Elder dropped to his knees and knelt before him.

"W-What is going on?! What did you—"

"Shut up. You will only speak when given permission."

"??????"

The First Elder tried to speak, but not a single word escaped. His lips felt as heavy as a mountain, and even the act of opening his mouth was beyond him.

He frantically darted his gaze across the battlefield, desperate to see if anyone was witnessing this humiliation. But in the midst of the blood-soaked chaos, where every cultivator fought for their life, not a single soul noticed the silent, one-sided submission playing out between Yuan and the First Elder.

'What the hell is going on?! Why isn't my body listening to me?! Did he poison me again?! But when did he do it and how?!' The First Elder believed he was poisoned again, but he'd never experienced or heard of such a powerful poison.

"What's on your mind? Let me guess… Are you thinking that I'd poisoned you again?" Yuan suddenly spoke.

The First Elder's eyes widened with surprise at Yuan's words.

"So I'm right, huh? Well, fortunately for you, I didn't poison you."

The surprise on the First Elder's face turned to puzzlement after hearing this. If he wasn't poisoned, what could be the cause of this phenomenon?

"Since you're going to die soon, I'll let you in on a secret."

Yuan moved his lips near the First Elder's ears but spoke through voice transmission just in case, "I was lying when I said that I was Dragon Goddess Yeyou's envoy. In reality, I am the Immortal Monarch."

"?!?!?!"

The First Elder's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from shock.

'The Immortal Monarch?! What kind of nonsense is he talking about?!'

However, as much as he wanted to deny it, it would explain why he was obeying Yuan's every command.

"Now… die for me."

Yuan wasted no time and commanded the First Elder to die.

The First Elder coughed up a mouthful of blood as he subconsciously destroyed his own heart.

However, although the First Elder's physical body died, his soul was still alive, and while his cultivation had dropped to the True Immortal realm, his soul was still at the God Ascension level.
