Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1223: Chapter 527: Ying Zheng: Do You Think I’m Joking With You?

”In former days, when His Highness personally descended upon your Dragon Clan, he bestowed upon your Dragon Clan equal dignity and favor, allowing your Dragon Clan to possess enduring honor, and even entrusted all the lakes and rivers within the Great Qin Territory to your Dragon Clan for their upkeep.”

Han Xin’s gaze was icy cold, his voice as though coming from the Nine You, devoid of the slightest warmth; every word was like a keen blade, echoing through the Dragon Palace’s deep and shadowed expanse.

”Yet your Dragon Clan refused.”

Han Xin slightly raised his head, his eyes full of disdain, as if mocking the Dragon Clan’s past folly.

”Therefore, do not speak again of any favor.”

”What was once grace, now that Qin’s spear-edge has arrived here, there is no longer any talk of favor or no favor.”

”That your Dragon Clan may preserve itself from annihilation—this is already Qin’s greatest favor.”

Han Xin stepped forward once more, and the Blood Qi emanating from his body thickened in an instant; the immense pressure shook even the surrounding seawater.

”Swear, quickly.”

”Otherwise, the Dragon Clan shall not exist.” Han Xin’s words were firm as iron, leaving no room for negotiation.

These words shattered the Three Ancestors’ final illusions.

Before the campaign, Ying Zheng had already decreed: should the Dragon Clan surrender, their clan might be preserved from extinction; should they refuse, the Dragon Clan would be eradicated, and those who survived would be cast down as slaves.

This time, the Dragon Clan naturally chose resistance, and thus the outcome was utterly different.

To preserve the root of the clan was already Qin’s ”benevolence.”

Under such coercion, though the Three Ancestors’ hearts were filled with unwillingness and rage, when they looked around, they saw Qin’s powerhouses lined in ranks, Power of Laws overflowing on all sides, the shadow of death like dark clouds shrouding the entire Dragon Palace.

Their hearts were full of humiliation and helplessness, yet for the sake of the Dragon Clan’s continuation, they could only swallow this bitter breath.

”I, Azure Dragon, swear by the Human Dao: henceforth the Dragon Clan shall submit to the Qin Court; should we betray this, the Dragon Clan shall forever fall into the Dragon Abyss, until heaven and earth themselves are destroyed.”

Azure Dragon’s vast body trembled slightly, its voice laden with boundless unwillingness.

”I, Candle Dragon, swear by the Human Dao...” Candle Dragon’s voice was low and hoarse, every word squeezed out between its teeth; its gigantic claws carved deep scars into the floor of the Dragon Palace, venting the rage in its heart.

”I, Yinglong, swear by the Human Dao...” Yinglong’s voice too carried a note of grief.

The Three Ancestors, filled with fierce resentment, made their vow in the name of the Human Dao.

As their voices fell, the vast Human Dao pressure already pervading the space instantly took form; three blinding halos of Gold, like long spears made manifest.

They drove straight into their Dragon bodies.

Though what stood here were but incarnations, this Human Dao Rule Power was like seeking its source and returning to origin, piercing through layer upon layer of space and branding itself into the deepest reaches of their true souls’ Primordial Spirits.

Human Dao Oath!

As with a Heavenly Dao Oath, one who swears by it must be bound.

”This Human Dao Oath is the same as a Heavenly Dao Oath... it has branded our Primordial Spirits.”

”Moreover... it has entered into our Dragon Ancestors’ Qi Fortune.”

”What, in the end, is this Human Dao?”

At the moment the oath was completed, the Three Ancestors clearly felt the immense deterrent force carried by the oath, and, more terrifying still, sensed that this mysterious Human Dao power had already fallen into the Dragon Clan’s Qi Fortune.

As Dragon Ancestors, they represented the Dragon Clan itself; their oath was the oath of the entire Dragon Clan.

Naturally, it was branded into the Human Dao Oath.

”From this day forth, the Dragon Clan submits to Qin.”

Seeing this, Han Xin cried out in a voice like thunder, and the mighty Blood Qi that had surged around him, filling all directions, receded like the ebbing tide, dispersing swiftly.

The Blood Qi upon the many Shangjiangjun likewise withdrew at once.

The Qin powerhouses in the seabed Void also all retracted their outwardly released Power of Laws, no longer letting that dread-inducing aura run rampant.
