Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 1486: Protecting Ethereal

Translator: Legge

Rakshasa Yu had already realized that Desolate Martial would truly refine her to ashes if she did not submit!

Desolate Martial did not care about women at all!

For some reason, Rakshasa Yu suddenly felt aggrieved.

Up till this point of her cultivation, her talent was terrifying and her beauty was unparalleled across the races. There were countless paragons and monster incarnates pursuing her—when had she ever suffered such grievances?

She had never been bullied like this before!

She was the young mistress of the Rakshasa race and was unusually prideful.

In her opinion, there was no one in this world who could make her submit!

In fact, there was no one in the entire Rakshasa race that was worthy of her, let alone make her submit!

However, the dominance of the Martial Dao Prime Body caused Rakshasa Yu's conviction to collapse!

Up till this point of her cultivation, she had never encountered someone so unreasonable and domineering. Instantly, she was flustered and had no idea what to do.

"Am I going to die in the hands of a Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord today?"

"This Desolate Martial is truly detestable! Extremely detestable!"

"Isn't there a third choice?"

In that moment of life and death, Rakshasa Yu's thoughts were completely messed up.

Nobody wanted to die.

At this point of her cultivation, if nothing went wrong, there was a high chance she would advance to the Mahayana realm and become a Patriarch. She did not want to die here at all!

However, Rakshasa Yu was indignant.

Was she really going to have to submit to Desolate Martial?

Rakshasa Yu's conviction had already begun to waver and she fell into immense pain with a conflicted expression.

However, the purple flames in the Martial Dao Furnace did not have any intention of stopping and began to burn on her body!

"Desolate Martial, you're truly way too detestable!"

Rakshasa Yu shrieked!

Desolate Martial was not even willing to give her any time to consider!

Rakshasa Yu's eyes reddened and tears welled up in them. However, she was unyielding and refused to let them fall.

Finally!

She grit her teeth and said hatefully, "I can submit, but I'll never betray the Rakshasa race or harm my clansmen!"

She was the young mistress of the Rakshasa race and the bloodline of the Rakshasa flowed within her.

That was her bottom line!

Suddenly!

Rakshasa Yu felt her body lighten and the sense of danger that her life was hanging on a thread had vanished.

The purple flames that surrounded her initially had vanished as well.

It was as though she had returned to that familiar world.

The surroundings were no longer suffocating or scorching.

The air was fresh.

Not far away, the Martial Dao Prime Body sat casually at a stone table and sipped tea leisurely with an indifferent expression.

The tender and obedient child stood guard behind him quietly.

Everything looked peaceful.

Rakshasa Yu felt the joy of escaping a calamity!

Even that extremely detestable person looked much more pleasing to the eye.

However, she quickly realized her situation.

Right now, she had already submitted to Desolate Martial.

Theoretically speaking, the Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord before her was her master!

However, she could not bring herself to call him 'master'.

With a cold expression, Rakshasa Yu said in a deep voice, "Desolate Martial, I'll submit to you, but I won't call you master!"

"As you wish,"

The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently without being angered or forcing anything.

Rakshasa Yu frowned slightly—this was not the reaction she had expected.

After a moment of silence, she continued, "Also, I'll definitely not do something like serving tea or pouring water!"

"As you wish,"

That was still the Martial Dao Prime Body's reply.

Rakshasa Yu was stunned for a moment.

Why did Desolate Martial suddenly become so easygoing?

Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something and could not help but change her expression slightly. Clenching her fists tightly, she grit her teeth. "Desolate Martial, don't even think of touching me! As the young mistress of the Rakshasa race, I'll definitely not betray my body…"

"You're thinking too much,"

Rakshasa Yu was interrupted by the Martial Dao Prime Body before she could finish.

This time round, Rakshasa Yu was truly a little dazed.

There was no need for her to call him master, pour him tea, offer her body or betray her clansmen…

From the looks of it, there was nothing to lose by submitting to Desolate Martial.

The moment that thought crossed her mind, Rakshasa Yu spat internally.

The reason why she was in such a state was completely because of Desolate Martial—how could she have such thoughts?!

Rakshasa Yu shrugged her head and lamented internally, "I must be confused because of the immense heat just now."

Right then, the Martial Dao Prime Body said slowly, "I won't have any demands or restrictions on your freedom under normal circumstances."

"In fact, you can even challenge me at any time if you feel that you're strong enough. As long as you can defeat me, there's naturally no need for you to submit to me."

When she heard that, Rakshasa Yu's eyes lit up as she asked, "Are you serious?"

This was equivalent to giving her hope!

As long as she could defeat Desolate Martial, she could break free from this shackle!

"You don't have to question my words,"

The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently.

"What exactly do you want me to do then?"

Rakshasa Yu asked in a deep voice.

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "Make a move now and head to Ethereal Peak to guard it in secret. Kill anyone who trespasses into Ethereal Peak!"

"That's all?"

Rakshasa Yu could not believe it.

The reason why Desolate Martial wanted her to submit was because he wanted her to protect a sect.

"That's all,"

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded.

Rakshasa Yu looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body with a conflicted expression.

She suddenly realized that she could not understand this person.

A moment later, Rakshasa Yu suddenly asked, "I want to know why you gave me a choice instead of killing me outright."

"There are two reasons,"

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "First, you stopped that Rakshasa outside Ping Yang Town. Furthermore, you didn't kill any mortals."

"Second, the reason why I spared your life was because I wanted you to protect Ethereal Peak."

"That's all?"

Rakshasa Yu frowned slightly.

"That's all,"

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded.

"Hmph!"

Rakshasa Yu harrumphed coldly and turned to leave.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss and frustration.

Before long, she suddenly turned around and looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body, sneering, "Desolate Martial, I haven't even made a Dao oath. Aren't you afraid that I'll escape secretly?"

"If you escape, I'll naturally capture you back,"

The tone of the Martial Dao Prime Body was calm but his words were unusually domineering!

"He's still as detestable as ever!"

Rakshasa Yu sneered internally and turned to leave.

A gust of wind blew past and her figure vanished.
