A Level 10 cultivator is considered a pretty strong opponent. The opponent was able to find an opportunity to kill a robot with the strength of a Level 10 mid-stage cultivator, and the robot also had good talent.
Perhaps they couldn't bear to let such a strong opponent die.
Of course, Lin Yun's current strength can already match the average Level 9 mid-stage cultivator.
At the current rate of cultivation, it won't be long before his strength surpasses that of a Tier 10 martial artist.
He is confident that he can suppress this person.
At the same time, Lin Yun has the stars in his heart.
At that time, his subordinates will definitely not only be the current 180,000.
They will also be more than just those on the Blue Star.
There will definitely be people from other planets and other civilizations.
If so, then let him take the first step towards conquering the stars and other living beings.
'You can save me?'
Perhaps, having already faced death, Fang Ao yearned for life even more. Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the aura that had erupted from his body immediately weakened. He looked up at Lin Yun in disbelief.
Anyone who loses their heart is fatally wounded. Ordinary people can still hope to survive with an artificial heart created by technological power, but he is a level 10 powerhouse, and a normal artificial heart simply cannot support him.
As far as he knows, the Codis Empire can only produce artificial hearts that can be used by level 8 cultivators in this regard, and stronger ones won't work.
He guessed that it would be difficult for even a level 7 technological civilization to produce an artificial heart that a level 10 cultivator can use.
Although the opponent has a level 10 peak martial artist... However, the battleship used by the opponent is very low-level and very mixed. He guessed that the opponent's status in that level 7 technological civilization should not be very high.
Otherwise, why would they come to this low-level civilization's star system and occupy his home planet?
Even if that level 7 technological civilization had such technology, it would be difficult for the opponent to possess it!
However, upon hearing Lin Yun's words, he still had a glimmer of belief and his mood was greatly shaken.
A force of desire for life once again spread throughout his body.
'I can save you, but the price to be paid is not small. If you are willing to pledge allegiance to me, I can save you and spare your men,' Lin Yun nodded slightly.
Seeing that the other party's tone had softened a little, Lin Yun glanced at the place where the other party's heart was missing, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
An artificial heart that can support a Level 10 cultivator is not cheap on the universal trading system. If he had known this, he would have ordered Yang Er not to do it.
However, perhaps, it was also because the other party had received such a fatal injury and heard that he could be saved that he had a loosened mentality?
Otherwise, it would not be an easy task for him to subdue the other party?
Everything happens for a reason.
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Fang Ao fell silent.
Allegiance...
Even the royal family of the Codice Empire did not say such things, and they only asked him to be a guest.
This is a loss of freedom and dignity.
He has been successful in his cultivation his entire life, and has ultimately become a top figure in this star domain. How can he accept being injured like this and having to pledge allegiance to the other party?
'Think carefully before you answer. You should know that if someone is lying, their spiritual energy fluctuations will be abnormal. If you are of normal strength, I am not certain that I can detect it, but I am quite certain about this now. Also, you should know that we have used a special device on some of your subordinates on Tianzhu Star. As long as they have any treachery in their hearts, we will be able to detect it. If you pledge allegiance to me, I will also use this device.'
'If you refuse now, I will let you die in peace. If you agree, and then change your mind, I will let you know what it means to be in hell.'
Just then, Lin Yun said slowly.
He didn't want to spend a large sum of money only to get a person with a change of heart, which would make him lose a large sum for nothing.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Fang Ao frowned even more.
The idea of having that kind of loyalty device implanted in him, which would prevent him from changing his mind, was even more difficult for him to accept.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, a few minutes had passed.
Lin Yun did not rush the process either.
This was not a trivial matter, and the other party really needed to think about it carefully.
Only by doing so could the decision be made properly and followed.
'By the way, I can restore your heart, and your strength and potential will not be lost. However, if it takes longer, it's hard to say.'
However, just then, Lin Yun once again said such a sentence.
'I...agree...' This sentence became the straw that broke the camel's back. Fang Ao finally looked up at Lin Yun and gave a faint bitter smile.
In the span of just a few minutes, he had experienced a lifetime's worth of events, almost going over them in his mind several times.
His stage in the starry sky had just begun, and he really didn't want to disappear from it like this.
The other party's identity, status, and strength were all higher than his, and perhaps, it wouldn't be a disgrace to pledge allegiance to someone like him.
'Hum——'
Just as Fang Ao said this, Lin Yun's spiritual energy instantly radiated out, covering Fang Ao entirely, as if probing the truth of what he had said.
'This is... peak ninth-level spiritual energy?'
Fang Ao's body trembled, his face full of disbelief.
Spiritual energy is a power that is difficult to cultivate. Although his strength has reached the realm of the tenth level, his spiritual energy is still only at the late ninth level, which is still quite good.
The tenth-level cultivators he met in the royal family of the Codice Empire, many of them only had ninth-level junior or intermediate spiritual power.
The role of spiritual power in cultivation is very important.
Peak ninth-level spiritual power... What is the concept of this?
Moreover, wasn't the opponent's strength only at the seventh or eighth level?
Could it be that the opponent was not a martial artist, but a spiritual power cultivator?
A sudden thought popped into Fang Ao's mind.
Spiritual energy cultivators are also a type of cultivator that is not weaker than martial artists, and their strength is also very powerful.
However, this cultivation system is also very difficult to cultivate.
A peak spiritual energy cultivator of the ninth level has subordinates who are even at the peak of the tenth level. He is really not disgraced to pledge allegiance to someone like this.
Fang Ao let out a small sigh.
'Wait...this...this age...this...this is in his twenties? How is this possible?'
However, the next moment, Fang Ao once again widened his eyes in disbelief.
A peak-level 9th-level cultivator in his twenties?
Are you kidding me?
Since when has cultivation been so easy?
In their twenties... In many powerful civilizations, they're not even considered adults yet.
A child has actually reached this realm?
Where does that put cultivators like them who have spent thousands or tens of thousands of years to reach this realm!
Even many cultivation geniuses who have spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of their lives have not reached this realm!
There are only a dozen Level 10 cultivators within a radius of 200 million light years.
Although there are many peak Level 9 cultivators, compared to the huge base of life, they are pitifully few. Each of them is a world-shaking figure who dominates a star domain.
