There was a hint of helplessness in Yan's tone.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this winged serpent is currently wandering around aimlessly in its spatial cage like a headless fly.
However, it is still a powerful spirit beast with physical strength comparable to the Golden Core Realm, [N O V E L I G H T] so suppressing it is not easy and requires "Yan" to expend a lot of energy.
Lu Qing had been honing his skills and was on the verge of a breakthrough.
In addition, there are external enemies at the Golden Core stage, making the situation urgent.
Therefore, it's not good for "Yan" to bother him with such a trivial matter.
But now that Lu Qing has broken through and achieved the Golden Core stage, it finally couldn't help but remind him.
"I had really forgotten about that."
When Lu Qing saw the five-colored winged snake, he was first taken aback, then laughed.
He really had forgotten about this guy.
The main problem is that he's been busy with a lot of things lately, and he's also been focused on cultivation, so he hasn't had time to take care of this little thing.
Seeing the five-colored winged serpent still struggling and raging in the spatial cage, Lu Qing waved his hand and released it from the spatial cage.
As the owner of the Fire Cauldron, he was naturally able to control the spiritual artifact space.
The five-colored winged serpent was suddenly released, and when it landed outside, a look of bewilderment appeared in its eyes.
Ever since it was locked in that dark, cramped space, it had long been in despair.
No matter how hard it tried, it was completely unable to break through that spatial barrier.
The powerful physical body that he used to be so proud of was useless in the face of that spatial cage.
The reason it continues to struggle and charge is simply because its inherent pride prevents it from submitting.
So when it suddenly emerged from that spatial cage, the five-colored winged serpent was caught off guard and didn't react for a moment.
However, the confusion in the eyes of the five-colored winged serpent quickly disappeared, replaced by boundless rage.
Because it saw one of the two figures in front of it, a figure it could never forget, even in its dreams.
That person not only stole the treasure it had guarded for a thousand years, but also cut off its hope of advancement and transformation.
They even locked it in that dark and gloomy spatial cage.
This hatred and resentment are etched into my bones and will never be forgotten!
"hiss!"
With hatred gleaming in its eyes, the five-colored winged serpent roared and charged toward Lu Qing at top speed.
His physical strength erupted layer by layer, wanting to use his indestructible body to smash his enemy to pieces!
Faced with the rampage of the five-colored winged serpent, Lu Qing remained unmoved, simply uttering a single word.
"Certainly!"
In an instant, the five-colored winged serpent's rapidly advancing body suddenly came to a standstill.
Countless powerful spatial forces were applied to it, not only halting its advance but also suppressing it firmly in place, rendering it completely immobile.
"hiss!"
Despite being suppressed, the five-colored winged serpent showed no sign of yielding and continued to thrash about, trying to break free of its restraints with the strength of its own body.
His eyes were fixed intently on Lu Qing, as if he wanted to etch the face of his enemy into his soul.
"Little snake, tell me, do you want to live or die?"
Meeting the gaze of the five-colored winged serpent that seemed to want to devour him whole, Lu Qing asked calmly.
At the same time, this wisp of divine soul suddenly shone brightly, rapidly expanded, and became extremely tall, almost supporting the entire spiritual artifact space.
An immense and boundless aura emanated from Lu Qing.
A grand voice, as if descending from the heavens: "If you wish to live, open your mind and let me imprint my soul mark upon you."
"You want to die? I'll annihilate you right now, body and soul, turning your flesh into a puppet for my use!"
This earth-shattering change immediately terrified the five-colored winged serpent.
It couldn't believe that the aura that had been a formidable enemy not long ago had suddenly become so terrifying.
It was tempted to doubt that what it was seeing was an illusion, but the oppressive aura it felt made it realize that it was all real.
"Little snake, tell me your answer: do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
Lu Qing's voice once again descended from the high heavens.
The five-colored winged snake trembled and swallowed.
Feeling the oppressive force, like a mountain, pressing down on its mind, it wanted to continue to be defiant.
But its instinct told it that if it truly rejected the being before it, the other party would not hesitate to annihilate its soul.
Remembering what Lu Qing had just said, that after destroying his soul, he would refine his body into a puppet.
In an instant, the five-colored winged serpent lost all will to resist.
Since death doesn't guarantee the body will be enslaved anyway, it's better to live.
"Hiss~"
Under Lu Qing's gaze, the Five-Colored Winged Serpent let out a low, aggrieved growl and lowered its head.
At the same time, it emitted a wave of divine soul submission.
"Um?"
This surprised Lu Qing.
He thought he would need to put in more effort to scare the winged snake.
I didn't expect it to back down so quickly.
It seems that this winged serpent, born in the secret realm, is even simpler than he had imagined.
"Since you've chosen to submit, open your mind," Lu Qing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the five-colored winged serpent did not hesitate and immediately relaxed its mind.
Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony either. A divine soul imprint fell from the sky and struck the deepest part of the winged serpent's soul.
With the mark imprinted on his soul, the five-colored winged serpent was officially enslaved by him from that moment on.
From then on, the life and death of the winged serpent were entirely in his hands; he could annihilate its soul at will in the blink of an eye.
After subduing the Five-Colored Winged Serpent, Lu Qing's divine soul avatar returned to its original state, and all its imposing aura and pressure subsided.
"Congratulations, young master, on successfully taming a powerful spirit beast."
"Yan," who had just retreated to the side, now approached as well.
However, it was also somewhat shaken.
The divine soul pressure that Lu Qing just displayed was something even it could hardly withstand.
"After successfully overcoming his tribulation and achieving the Golden Core, the young master has truly become more and more unfathomable."
"Yan" thought to himself.
Even before Lu Qing underwent his tribulation, he had already frequently astonished it.
Now that it has entered the Golden Core Realm, it can no longer see through it at all.
"Hiss~"
Seeing that Lu Qing had regained his form, the five-colored winged snake slithered towards him and nuzzled his palm in a flattering manner.
There was not a trace of the hatred from before in his eyes.
His attitude changed so quickly it was like a face-changing act.
This is the terrifying aspect of the enslavement of the soul.
Once the mark of enslavement is planted, not only will their life and death be completely controlled, but their mind will also be distorted, causing them to develop affection for their master and become completely obedient to him.
This is also why Lu Qing has always been wary of demonic cultivators.
Because the demonic cultivator had too many of his own secrets, even though he appeared to be loyal to him on the surface.
But Lu Qing suspected that the guy hadn't completely lost his mind.
Seeing the Five-Colored Winged Serpent's fawning manner, Lu Qing patted its head as well.
Feeling the power of the five elements within it, a thought struck me.
"From now on, your name will be 【Five Elements】."
