The Supreme God

Hearing what the sect leader of the Sky Sword Sect had to say, Austin laughed with his long sword pointed at the leader.

"Your Sky Sword Sect tried to assassinate me.

If you had had the chance during that battle, you would have sprung into action.

And now, since you are at my mercy, you want me to let it go just like that? Do you really think I'm the kind of person who lets go of grudges so easily?

Do you think I'm that benevolent?"

Austin asked.

The sect leader held his head low in silence.

The governing gods of the Sky Sword Sect and the other five governing gods who didn't belong to the sect stood in dismay. They had no will to fight.

"Austin, what would you have us do? What do you want from us? Do you really want to annihilate our entire sect?"

the sect leader of the Sky Sword Sect asked Austin humbly.

"Austin, please tell us what you want. If you let us live, we will follow you for the rest of our lives and obey your orders without question."

One of the five governing gods that didn't belong to the Sky Sword Sect begged for some sort of negotiation.

The five of them had been persuaded by the Sky Sword Sect to join them in plotting against Austin.

Now, they regretted their decision.

They had no one to blame except themselves for their fate.

The consequence of provoking Austin was too much to bear.

"Words are meaningless.

I don't trust you, and I never will,

unless you make the Heavenly Vow and surrender to me right now,"

Austin said flatly.

The Heavenly Vow was an ancient secret skill that had long been lost. Austin had learnt it from the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect.

Once a Heavenly Vow was made, it could not be broken without serious consequences.

Once the vow was broken, the person would no longer be able to cultivate or use any law.

For a governing god, that would be equivalent to losing at least half of his fighting power.

So, powerful warriors at the level of governing gods would not dare to break the Heavenly Vows they made.
