Chapter 623: Chapter 387 Dust Settles_1

The Demonic Sky Taoist, in a normal state, could sustain the barrier screens for a year and a half, but after burning the Origin of the Saint Seat to amplify his power by tens of millions of times, the barrier array began to struggle. Under such attacks from the Demonic Sky Taoist, it would shatter in less than half an incense stick’s time.

Logan immediately unleashed the Thunder Tribulation attack. In just an instant, dozens of Divine Thunders flew over, seemingly tracking the Demonic Sky Taoist unrelentingly. No matter which direction the Demonic Sky Taoist fled, he couldn’t escape, which plunged him into a state of frenzied rage.

To him, this was a no-win situation. After forcibly using the Origin of the Saint Seat, the power he had augmented could only last for one hour at most. If his own attacks couldn’t kill Logan and time kept dragging on, he would eventually exhaust himself to death.

Yet, the situation hadn’t hit rock bottom. Realizing the Divine Thunders were becoming more terrifying, he found that he could no longer dodge them like before. Dozens of Divine Thunders had him completely surrounded and, under the influence of the Thunder and Lightning Laws, even trying to escape through space was futile.

The number of thunders in the thunderclouds kept increasing. If he didn’t find a way to dissolve them, the dozens of Divine Thunders would continue to multiply. Fearing that there could eventually be hundreds, the Demonic Sky Taoist shuddered at the thought. By that point, not even ten of him would stand a chance.

Faced with dire straits, the Demonic Sky Taoist suddenly said, “Don’t you want me to acknowledge you as my master? I agree, but you’ll have to remove the Thunder Tribulation first, otherwise how can we proceed with the master-servant contract?”

As soon as he said this, Logan was taken aback. The Demonic Sky Taoist had already activated the Origin of the Saint Seat, which meant that after a certain amount of time, he would deplete his life force and die. So how could he possibly acknowledge Logan as his master now? Even if he did, it would be useless afterward, wouldn’t it?

It was clear that the Demonic Sky Taoist was lying. But a new problem arose: why would the Demonic Sky Taoist suddenly want to acknowledge Logan as his master at this moment? In an instant, Logan understood. The Demonic Sky Taoist was only trying to deceive him into withdrawing the array so he could seize the opportunity to attack.

To find an opportunity for attack, he could only try to dispel his own doubts. After figuring everything out, Logan chuckled to himself. It seemed the Demonic Sky Taoist had realized he was at an impasse and was forced to resort to an extreme measure, taking a desperate stab.

But Logan was no fool and certainly wouldn’t let the Demonic Sky Taoist succeed. However, he didn’t plan to expose him just yet. After all, even though the Demonic Sky Taoist had multiplied his strength a thousandfold, Logan’s Thunder Tribulation, though formidable, found it hard to keep up with him. Logan also wanted a quick resolution.

If the standoff went on, it wouldn’t be to his advantage. He had to create an opportunity to let the Divine Thunders strike the Demonic Sky Taoist. Since the Demonic Sky Taoist intended to confuse him in order to launch a killing blow, Logan decided to turn the tables and see who would have the upper hand in the end.

“I can accept you as my master,” Logan said, hands spread open. “But once the arrays are activated, they can’t be withdrawn. However, I can stop the Thunder Tribulation from attacking you, and as soon as the contract between us is signed, I’ll immediately stop both arrays from operating, ensuring you’re safe and sound.”

“That… works.” The Demonic Sky Taoist originally wanted Logan to stop the array first, and then, while signing the contract, seize the opportunity to suppress Logan. However, clearly, Logan was also a very cautious person, so the Demonic Sky Taoist realized he couldn’t think too simply. Signing the contract first was acceptable.

Normally, after acknowledging someone as a master, one must never attack their master. Otherwise, one would endure tremendous consequences, suffering backlash and punishment from the Heavenly Dao. Yet at this point, the Demonic Sky Taoist didn’t care about any of that. What did it matter if he could kill Logan and perish together?

“Alright, I’ll come over.” Both parties had their own plans. To make his act more convincing, Logan voluntarily dissolved the barrier and approached the Demonic Sky Taoist. However, with dozens of Divine Thunders closely watching, the Demonic Sky Taoist didn’t take the chance to attack Logan.

Meanwhile, outside the Barrier, the Lords were extremely anxious. How could Logan be so naive? It was clearly just the Demonic Sky Taoist’s ploy, all to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. They kept shouting into the barrier, hoping Logan wouldn’t be fooled.

Cain Scarlet, not holding anything back, utilized his Powerhouse ability. “The Demonic Sky Taoist cannot be trusted,” he said merely, before spitting out a mouthful of blood. Using his Powerhouse ability caused backlash to his Dantian, but he didn’t care; he just hoped Logan would hear him.

“What to do? There’s no need to negotiate with the Demonic Sky Taoist with the array in place!” Cain Scarlet couldn’t understand. With victory already within grasp, it didn’t seem worth taking such risks. Was it all just to gain another subordinate from the Saint Seat? Was his array-setting skill lacking subordinates?

Logan could clearly hear them, but he deliberately pretended not to. After all, as the Demonic Sky Taoist was scheming against him, he was also plotting, wasn’t he? Soon the distance between the two was only a meter. The Demonic Sky Taoist sketched runes in his hand, the oath for acknowledging a master.

Seeing Logan so close, the Demonic Sky Taoist was filled with bitter hatred, wishing he could crush him immediately. If there were no Divine Thunders to rely on, Logan would probably already have been flayed by him. Did he really need to continue this farce of acknowledging him as his master?

After a large rune was cast, the oath was already established. As long as Logan signed his name, the Demonic Sky Taoist would have no choice but to become his subordinate. Naturally, Logan swept his hand to sign, and the moment went incredibly smoothly. Whether it was the Lords or the people from the Demonic Sky Gate, everyone was stunned.
