Nitian Guyun looked up and said with a smile, “Are you sure you can defeat me with the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior which you haven’t completely absorbed?”
“What if I attack you together with him?” A majestic voice, which could startle everyone in the Frozen River Bottom, sounded at that moment.
Nitian Guyun was surprised. Then he slowly uttered a name. “Yongye Jiuyang?”
Swish!
A large area of black divine light swept away across the sky. Then, half of the sky above the area became dark.
From the world of the dark night, a strongly built middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold helmet walked out. With a pair of deep eyes that were filled with the light of the sun, moon, and stars, this man looked like an ancient king!
The Holy Maiden couldn’t help but tremble at this time. She murmured with a wry smile, “Isn’t the Master of the Heaven-defying Empire enough? How could Yongye Jiuyang, the Ruler of the Empire of Darkness, also appear in this place now?”
She was quite despondent at this moment.
Nitian Guyun stared at Su Yu. He knew Yongye Jiuyang must have been startled by the aura of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior’s corpse when it was woken up by Su Yu.
After pondering it for a short while, Nitian Guyun said, “Yongye Jiuyang, I tried to ambush the members of the Moonwatch Sect by setting up a trap here. My action was not aimed against the Empire of Darkness, so please don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Yongye Jiuyang replied coldly, “Really? Since you have captured the Holy Maiden, you can leave now!”
Nitian Guyun glanced at the Holy Maiden but didn’t want to leave at once.
In order to change the restriction of the Great Path Rules in this ancient tomb, he had paid a huge price, which was far greater than the excavation efforts of the Empire of Darkness in the past several thousand years. Therefore, he would not give up in such an easy way.
Therefore, Nitian Guyun said assertively, “You can’t take exclusive possession of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior’s tomb!”
“This ancient tomb is in the territory of my country, so it is not for you to say whether or not I can take exclusive possession of it!” Yongye Jiuyang replied coldly. “I know you are quite powerful, even more powerful than I am, but still, the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior is mine!”
Nitian Guyun said with a disdainful smile, “So what? A Divine Warrior’s corpse is intelligent. You can’t control it with regular methods. Only the leaders of the four Imperial Sacred Factions like you and I can control the corpse of a Divine Warrior in the Ancient God Realm! I’m afraid you are barking up the wrong tree if you hope this young man can control the corpse of a Divine Warrior!”
The corpse of a Divine Warrior was an extraordinary item. Even if the soul of a Divine Warrior perished, the remnant skills and techniques of that Divine Warrior were still kept in the corpse. Therefore, it was never an easy task to control the corpse of a powerful Divine Warrior.
Without extraordinary strength or special skills, it was essentially impossible to control a Divine Warrior’s corpse!
That was also the reason why Nitian Guyun attacked Su Yu without the apprehension that Su Yu could control the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior.
He simply did not consider the possibility that Su Yu could do that.
Yongye Jiuyang frowned slightly. Suddenly, his head moved a bit, and he looked surprised. It seemed as though someone was sending him a message through telepathy.
After the expression of his face changed several times, Yongye Jiuyang calmed down. “Do you think it is impossible for him to control the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior? It is quite simple! I can teach him how to do that!”
Then he flicked his finger to throw out a light spot towards Su Yu. When the light spot flew into Su Yu’s forehead, Yongye Jiuyang said, “This is the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control, an exclusive secret art of the Yongye Family, which can only be acquired by the current family leader. Now, calm down and absorb this secret art. I’ll stop Nitian Guyun to buy you some time!”
Seeing this, Nitian Guyun shouted in surprise, “Yongye Jiuyang, have you lost your mind? The Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control is a secret art created by the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior. It is also the most powerful secret art of your family! Are you going to just give it to a stranger like this?”
Yongye Jiuyang said with a faint smile, “It is worth the sacrifice, as long as he can stop you from obtaining the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior!”
A strand of anger and killing intent appeared in the eyes of Nitian Guyun. Suddenly, he waved his hand towards Su Yu from afar!
He could stop Su Yu from controlling the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior if he killed him. Moreover, he was sure he could defeat Yongye Jiuyang. Then he could take away the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior as a trophy.
However, Yongye Jiuyang was determined to stop him from doing that. Yongye Jiuyang laughed and said, “How could you attack such a lowly young man? This is sheer humiliation for the Emperor of the Heaven-defying Empire! Don’t forget I am your real opponent here!”
“Eternal Darkness between Heaven and Earth!” Yongye Jiuyang murmured in a low voice. Soon, the entire sky was covered by impenetrable darkness.
In the darkness, Su Yu heard an earth-shaking sound that was generated when Nitian Guyun’s attack towards him was stopped by an irresistible force.
Su Yu closed his eyes and sat down on the ground with his legs crossed. Then, he started to absorb the light spot that was thrown into his forehead by Yongye Jiuyang.
The art of the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control created by the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior was contained in this light spot.
The ‘Mind’ here didn’t refer to the mind of creatures, but to high-grade precious items with strong self-awareness.
The corpse of a Divine Warrior could also be regarded as a precious item!
Su Yu was a little bit disappointed when he discovered the function of this secret art. With the help of the Milky Way Star Sand, he could already tame all kinds of precious items.
However, Su Yu was further surprised when he discovered more about this secret art.
After a long time, Su Yu opened his eyes, which were full of astonishment. Then, he murmured quietly, “No wonder it was created by a Divine Warrior! I didn’t expect it could be so powerful!”
The core concept of the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control was the word ‘Control’.
Those who had acquired this secret art could control the equipment of their opponents during a fight!
For example, when Su Yu tried to attack his enemy with the Nine Suns Sword Formation, his enemy used this secret art to control the sword formation. Then it became extremely dangerous for Su Yu, who was not prepared for the attack of his own sword formation.
According to the records of the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control, nobody dared to use any equipment in front of the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior. Even the World Annihilation Emperor, who was the No.1 expert, didn’t dare to use the World Annihilation Plate when he fought against the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior!
This was because the World Annihilation Plate used to be controlled by the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior, who almost defeated the World Annihilation Emperor.
Only a few people were able to put the World Annihilation Emperor into such a dangerous situation.
However, the control of Emperor-based Saint Artifacts was not the limit of the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control. According to the assumption of the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior, those who could master this secret could control the Great Path Chain at last!
For him, the Great Path Chain was also an item with a degree of self-awareness. If he could continue to research this secret art, he could control the Great Path Chain.
It was a pity that the Eternal Darkness Divine Warrior was only powerful enough to control Emperor-based Saint Artifacts. Having achieved that level, he failed to make any further progress.
For Su Yu, even the incomplete Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control was something that could go against the rules of nature.
The time was so limited, so, Su Yu had to learn this art as soon as possible. The next moment, the speed of time passage has enhanced a thousandfold.
While one hour went by in the outside world, Su Yu had spent one month in his world.
In the darkness, Yongye Jiuyang shouted, “You don’t have enough time to acquire it completely. You only need to get some superficial knowledge now. You can find many study notes left by previous family leaders. With the help of these notes, even an ordinary person could learn some basic knowledge of this secret art within ten minutes!”
“It should be enough for you to control the corpse of this Divine Warrior!”
Nitian Guyun was quite anxious. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said with a cunning smile, “Yongye Jiuyang, you are the Leader of the Yongye Family. Why didn’t you learn the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control? Now, you asked a stranger to learn it! Heh! Heh! I guess you are harboring an evil plan!”
Yongye Jiuyang retorted calmly, “No matter how evil my plan is, it is a lot kinder than your plan of killing all of us here! Young alien, focus your attention on acquiring this secret and don’t be distracted by him!”
Hearing this, Nitian Guyun continued to speak. “Heh! Heh, Yongye Jiuyang, did you really give him the complete Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control? Aren’t you afraid he could control the corpse of the Ice and Fire Divine Warrior completely once he masters this secret art? Once that happens, even you won’t be able to stop him!”
“You don’t need to worry about that, my friend!” Yongye Jiuyang said coldly. He didn’t take Nitian Guyun’s warning seriously.
Yongye Jiuyang knew all about the difficulty in acquiring the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control. Even an expert like him would need at least one month to acquire the entire secret art by referring to the study notes of the previous family leaders, let alone a young man like Su Yu!
Therefore, Yongye Jiuyang didn’t believe Su Yu, who was just a young mortal, could learn a lot in such a short time.
Time went on slowly. The fight between Yongye Jiuyang and Nitian Guyun became more and more fierce.
Their ruthless battle stirred up the water in the entire Frozen River.
Ten minutes later, Su Yu opened his eyes suddenly. Then, a strand of chilly light gushed out from his pupils.
It seemed Su Yu’s eyes could penetrate through everything in this world. Nobody dared to have direct eye contact with him.
When the chilly light disappeared from Su Yu’s eyes, he turned in the direction of the Saint Realm.
Rumble!
The abyss in the Saint Realm collapsed. It seemed as though something that was sleeping had woken up. The horrible aura swept over the entire Empire of Darkness and even started to flow towards the other empires.
Su Yu even heard exclamations from the other two empires. It seemed that the powerful experts of those empires were also startled by this horrible aura.
Nitian Guyun changed his expression abruptly as he stepped back. Then, he turned around and looked at the Saint Realm with deep concentration.
On the other side, Yongye Jiuyang laughed loudly. “Hah! Hah! Hah! You made it!”
Then, he turned to Su Yu and said approvingly, a hint of respect showing in his face, “Good job!”
After saying that, he turned to Nitian Guyun. “So? Are you still going to fight against me?”
Nitian Guyun was quite annoyed. He made such a huge investment to remove the restrictions, and he didn’t expect Yongye Jiuyang would be the one to take advantage of all his hard work.
“I don’t believe he can control the corpse to attack me!”
Yongye Jiuyang replied with a disdainful smile, “Since you don’t believe in the effect of the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control, I’ll show you how powerful it is!”
Then, he ordered Su Yu, “Now, command the corpse to attack with the Extreme Ice Eye!”
Su Yu nodded. Then, under his control, the corpse of the Divine Warrior, which was billions of kilometers away, abruptly shot out extremely powerful icy energy.
Seeing this, Nitian Guyun’s expression changed slightly. Then he sped up into the sky to dodge the attack.
However, Yongye Jiuyang also flew into the sky at the same time.
“How dare you! What are you doing?” Yongye Jiuyang was extremely angry because the corpse shot out two strands of icy energy.
One strand of energy was flying towards Nitian Guyun, but the other strand of icy energy appeared to be targeting Yongye Jiuyang himself!
Su Yu replied coldly, “I am trying to save myself!”
“Save yourself? It is I who saved your life!” Yongye Jiuyang shouted angrily.
Su Yu replied, shaking his head, “You taught me, a stranger, the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control, which could only be acquired by the past leaders of your family. Everyone should know what would happen to me at last, right? Even you decided to show your mercy and spare my life, I guess you would still ruin my training achievements together with my memories! However, as a leader of a family that controls an empire, I doubt you would be that merciful after all. So it is more likely that you would kill me in order to keep the secret of the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control!”
Hearing this, Yongye Jiuyang looked quite startled.
Nitian Guyun couldn’t help but laugh wildly. “Hah! Hah! Hah! Yongye Jiuyang, this is going for wool but coming home shorn! Do you know why I kept him alive until the last moment? He is not any ordinary foreigner! I didn’t expect you would also be fooled by him!”
