It was death or submission!
This was an easy decision to make for the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate and the Black Wind Demon Venerate. Hence, the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate immediately replied before Luo Yunyang started to get impatient. "I am willing to surrender."
"I am also willing to surrender!" The Black Wind Demon Venerate wasn't a determined person either so he made the same decision after hearing what the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate said.
Luo Yunyang was not surprised by what the two Demon Venerates did. It would only have been strange if the two Demon Venerates had chosen to fight against him!
However, Luo Yunyang wouldn't simply believe the two of them just based on their words.
Yu Mo might die horribly in their hands if he did not restrict them.
"Since you have chosen to submit, release your spirit consciousness!"
The faces of the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate and the Black Wind Demon Venerate fell right away after they heard what Luo Yunyang said. They knew what Luo Yunyang was going to do right away.
"Sir, we can swear on our lives!" The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate objected loudly.
"Sir, we will definitely not agree to put our lives in someone else's hands." The Black Wind Demon Venerate also chimed in.
"Then go to hell!" Luo Yunyang did not want to waste time talking to them anymore.
"My Lord, we'll release our spirit consciousness now!" Sensing that Luo Yunyang was not joking, the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate and the Black Wind Demon Venerate cried out in unison almost at the same time.
The two of them were unwilling to be controlled in this manner but they might have a chance to escape someday. If they were slain on the spot now, there would be nothing left to do anymore.
They could sense the threat of being obliterated immediately by the Samsara Wheel that was revolving around Luo Yunyang.
When they released their spirit consciousness, Luo Yunyang imprinted the Samsara Life-Death Seal directly on it.
The Samsara Life-Death Seal would be able to crush the two Demon Venerates into powder at any time if they dared to show any intention of rebelling.
Originally, the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate and the Black Wind Demon Venerate had still intended to search for flaws to exploit and escape after being sealed by Luo Yunyang. However, both of them finally understood how terrifying the Samsara Life-Death Seal was after having it imprinted on them.
Under normal circumstances, the Samsara Life-Death Seal was like a treasure to them. It could not only change their aura but also weaken any attacks directed at them.
It could be said that the Samsara Life-Death Seal had many uses. However, they would meet their demise if they dared to resist Luo Yunyang in any manner.
After experiencing the Samsara Life-Death Seal for a while, the Black Wind Demon Venerate glanced at the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate in resentment.
If the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate hadn't claimed that Luo Yunyang's cultivation base wasn't much stronger than his own, the Black Wind Demon Venerate wouldn't have gotten involved in this.
As a result, he had become someone else's slave.
"Shouldn't both of you say something to me?" Luo Yunyang grinned after putting the two Demon Venerates under his control.
Knowing how terrifying the Samsara Life-Death Seal was, the two of them did not sense any warmth in Luo Yunyang's smile. Instead, they reckoned this was a cold, grimy smile.
"What do you want to know, my Lord?" The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate summoned up his courage and replied once he realized that the Black Wind Demon Venerate wasn't going to say anything.
"In the past, there were no signs of Demon Venerates like the two of you in the Four Great Sky Continents. Why did the two of you appear in the Sky Continents?" Luo Yunyang asked with a smirk on his face.
He only vaguely understood the upcoming disaster, as he was still not aware of why or how the disaster would be arriving.
Since he couldn't find answers in the Taixu Sect, he naturally hoped to solve the puzzle by asking the Demon Venerates.
The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate and the Black Wind Demon Venerate glanced at each other and said, "My Lord, although we roamed the Sky Continents in the past, most of our strength was suppressed by the Demon-Sealing Array of the Four Great Sky Continents.
"If we roamed the Four Great Sky Continents openly, even beings at a lower level than us could kill us in that state.
"Now, the Demon-Sealing Array has collapsed so Demon Venerates like us don't have to maintain a low profile. Plus, we must condense 1,080 Divine Crucifixion Stakes in the next 10,000 years in order to transform the Demon-Sealing Array into a Yuan-Sealing Array.
"Then, only Demon Venerates like us will be able to roam freely in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm. The fellas from the Taixu Sect and the Dakongfan Sect will only hide in their own tiny realms and won't come out."
Demon-Sealing Array. Divine Crucifixion Stakes!
Luo Yunyang felt dazed as he listened but he felt that he roughly had the complete picture.
"Then let me ask you something. What is the Yuanfu Catalog?" Luo Yunyang glared at the two Demon Venerates as he asked this.
"My Lord, you actually don't know about the Yuanfu Catalog?" the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate said in astonishment.
He seemed shocked that Luo Yunyang didn't know his own name!
Although a multitude of thoughts was going through Luo Yunyang's head, he still replied faintly, "So what if I don't know about it? Is it wrong not to know about the Yuanfu Catalog?"
"My Lord, you must have your reasons for not knowing. Ha ha ha!" The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate chuckled and said, "The Yuanfu Catalog and the Divine Crucifixion Stakes are actually the same thing.
"The condensation of the Divine Crucifixion Stakes requires the spirit consciousness of those recorded inside the Yuanfu Catalog. To form 1,080 Divine Crucifixion Stakes, the spirit consciousness of 1,080 people in the Yuanfu Catalog will be necessary.
"I heard that the Yuanfu Catalog was a pact signed by our Demon Path's Great Demon Venerate, the Ancestral Masters of the Taixu Sect, and the Dakongfan Sect.
"After signing the pact, those listed in the Yuanfu Catalog will be hunted down. The more people in the Yuanfu Catalog of each respective side are hunted down, the stronger the array formation created to suppress the opposing side will be."
After explaining everything in one breath, the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate took in another gulp of air and added, "Last time, we had to lurk in the Endless Demonic Realm for many years just because we had three fewer Divine Crucifixion Stakes than your side."
The Yuanfu Catalog was a pact signed by the Great Demon Venerate of the Demon Path and the Ancestral Masters of the Taixu Sect and the Dakongfan Sect!
This did not surprise Luo Yunyang. According to Luo Yunyang's estimations, the Sacred Venerate should have a part in the Yuanfu Catalog.
"Who are the people who can get listed on the Yuanfu Catalog?" Luo Yunyang hesitated for a moment before asking the two Demon Venerates this question.
"Naturally, those who can get listed on theYuanfu Catalog are no ordinary folks. Not only do they need to possess strong cultivation, but they also have to be extraordinarily talented. Otherwise, the Divine Crucifixion Stakes condensed from them won't be able to suppress the Vast Sky Sacred Realm and will thus be useless."
The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate shot a glance at the Black Wind Demon Venerate before saying grimly, "Back then, the Black Wind Demon Venerate's eldest brother was listed on the Yuanfu Catalog and became one of those Divine Crucifixion Stakes."
"What will happen to those listed on the Yuanfu Catalog of the side that won the battle?"
"As long as one is listed on the Yuanfu Catalog, they will eventually have to be turned into a Divine Crucifixion Nail. It would be difficult to stabilize the Vast Sky Sacred Realm again if there weren't enough Divine Crucifixion Nails."
The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate then said, "It seems that there is a substitution technique in the Taixu Sect or the Dakongfan Sect, but I don't know anything about it."
Substitution Technique? The first thought that came to Luo Yunyang's mind was his son!
If he'd still had some doubts before, then after listening to the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate, he was now certain that what Yuan Sage Shending was using should be the Substitution Technique.
"What happens after one becomes one of the Divine Crucifixion Stakes?" Although Luo Yunyang had some speculations regarding this question, he still wanted to hear it from the two Demon Venerates.
The two Demon Venerates would surely tell him everything they knew truthfully. Furthermore, his questions for them weren't a secret.
"My Lord, when you become a Divine Crucifixion Stake, you'll become like a star in the sky. Although you could shine brightly, you'll have to follow the trajectory of the constellation and will not be able to move at all."
The Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate added, "All previous Divine Crucifixion Stakes will dissipate along with the abolishment of the present formation array before the new Divine Crucifixion Stakes are formed for the new formation array."
In other words, the Planet-Destroying Demon Venerate was trying to say that no one would survive after being condensed into a Divine Crucifixion Stake!
It would also be an ordeal after becoming a Divine Crucifixion Stake!
This was Yuan Sage Shending! These three Ancestral Masters had signed the pact of the Yuanfu Catalog!
Seeing that Luo Yunyang was deep in thought, the Black Wind Demon Venerate said icily, "My Lord, given your cultivation, it is normal for your name to be listed on the Yuanfu Catalog. After all, according to the requirements of the formation array, at least three-quarters of the strongest powerhouses in the realm must be listed on the Yuanfu Catalog!"
What the Black Wind Demon Venerate said was reasonable, and his estimation was spot on. However, Luo Yunyang had the urge to torture the Black Wind Demon Venerate after hearing what he said.
This fella really didn't know his limits.
"What you said really makes sense, but I think your mind needs to go through several Samsara cycles." Luo Yunyang, who was in a very unhappy mood, didn't feel like being nice to the Black Wind Demon Venerate as he activated the Samsara Life Death Seal right away.
Six different colors of light appeared around the Black Wind Demon Venerate, causing him to feel like his head was on the verge of splitting apart.
He wrapped his hands around his head and tried to smash it against a rock. Unfortunately, despite his tremendous strength, he fell straight to the ground after taking a few steps.
The Black Wind Demon Venerate did not beg for mercy. Instead, he shouted out loud, "My Lord, it's not my fault that your name is listed on the Yuanfu Catalog. If you don't agree, you should find the person who listed your name on it! Why are you pinning the blame on me?"
