The Supreme God Chapter 4437 The Heavenly Vow

After being tortured by Austin, the governing god of the Long Sword Sect hunched over. His spiritual
soul was damaged to the point where it was leaking some of its essence.

All of a sudden, something happened.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

One by one, Austin's puppet strings began to explode, causing him to gasp.

Yet, he saw that the spiritual soul of the governing god had suffered from losing its divine essence.

'Oh no! Even though the Puppet Strings is a unique secret skill of the spiritual race, the strongest
creature it can control is a semi-governing god. It can't exert enough power to subdue a governing god.

I guess it makes sense. After all, every secret skill in the world has limited power. There will be a peak.

Once any secret skill reaches a certain level, no matter how hard you cultivate it, you can't increase its
power.'

At realizing this, Austin sighed and slumped his shoulders.

He knew that he had already cultivated the Puppet Strings to its strongest level.

Controlling a semi-governing god was

as far as the secret skill could go.

And this wasn't the first time he had caught governing gods and tested the Puppet Strings on them.

Without exception, all the tests had failed.

"All right."



Austin concentrated his mind and drew all the remaining puppet strings back into his Soul Sea.

Seeing as it wasn't helping, he also removed the Soul-cleansing Skill.

Immediately, the governing god stood straighter. The pain inflicted on his spiritual soul was gone. He
felt light-headed as he gasped for breath. His feet staggered as he tried to walk and almost collapsed in
the void.

Whoosh!

Once he had collected himself,

he tried to get as far away from Austin as possible. From a distance, he stared at Austin in horror.

He swore that the torture Austin had just posed on him was worse than anything he had suffered in his
life.

He had come so close to his spiritual soul being controlled by somebody else

and there was no worse fate for a warrior.

Now, Austin had managed to worm a sense of fear deep into his heart.

For the rest of his life, he would avoid being Austin's enemy.

From now on, every time he met Austin, he would actively try to avoid him.

The only person that seemed relieved by the outcome was the supreme grandmaster of the Long
Sword Sect. He sighed when he saw that the governing god was safe.

"Young man, does this mean you don't believe me and our Long Sword Sect?"



the supreme grandmaster asked.

"No, I don't believe you.

Words alone are not proof."

As he spoke, Austin kept his sword pointed at the supreme grandmaster from afar. Since trust hadn't
been established yet,

he had no intention of putting it away.

"Austin, what can I do to make you release our Long Sword Sect?"

the sect leader of the Long Sword Sect asked angrily, feeling humiliation wash over him.

Despite the Long Sword Sect putting everything on the line and surrendering to Austin, he still
continued to challenge them.

In fact, the entire Long Sword Sect was left feeling humiliated.

"Austin is too aggressive.

They are a super powerful force. Why is he still pushing them?"

All throughout the Sword Cosmos, countless creatures were watching. They were all beginning to think
that Austin had taken things too far.

"What do you think?"

Austin said flatly, barely even looking in the direction of the sect leader of the Long Sword Sect.



"Young man, I've been watching you. You are heartless and ruthless. You are decisive when problems
arise. You have it in you to rule a world.

I do have one suggestion.

In the ancient times, there was a type of Heavenly Vow that was widely used.

When a warrior makes a Heavenly Vow, all types of existing laws would be triggered, as if they are
included in the vow.

If the warrior were to ever break his Heavenly Vow, harm would befall him.

He would lose the ability to cultivate laws and to use them.

Now, I want the seven governing gods of our sect and me to make a Heavenly Vow together. We
promise that from now on, the Long Sword Sect will submit to you and obey your orders.

Does that allow you to trust us?"

the supreme grandmaster offered, gritting his teeth.

"What?

A Heavenly Vow?"

Austin snapped his head back to face the supreme grandmaster.

"That's right.

Young man, given your cultivation base, as long as we make a Heavenly Vow, you will understand and
believe us,"



the supreme grandmaster explained.

"Supreme grandmaster, are we really going to make such a serious vow?

It would mean that our Long Sword Sect would always have to follow his orders!

Can't we just fight him to the death instead?"

several governing gods of the Long Sword Sect asked the supreme grandmaster through their spiritual
senses.

"Do you really still not understand?

If there was still a chance to fight him,

I wouldn't have had to ask him for his mercy.

This young man alone has the strength to destroy our Long Sword Sect.

And it's all our fault. Instead of growing stronger, we have slacked off. We bring disgrace to the
ancestors of the Long Sword Sect.

So now we need to focus on keeping the heritage of our Long Sword Sect intact.

We can't let the Long Sword Sect decline because of our generation's wrong choices.

Besides, if we just wait and see,

this young man will unify the Sword Cosmos

and he will face an enemy far worse than we are.

The Blade Cosmos!



When the day comes, the Blade Cosmos will consider him their number one enemy.

Ha! I can't wait! Donovan of the Blade Cosmos is really strong.

He won't let this young man just walk away.

There will be a fight between them.

And it will be interesting. I don't think this young man can match Donovan.

I think it's very likely he will be killed by Donovan.

So, do you think it's worth fighting this young man and taking the risk of our sect being destroyed?

Why don't we just push him out and let him face the great Blade Cosmos?"

the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect asked the seven governing gods through his
spiritual sense.

The seven governing gods including the sect leader of the Long Sword Sect took several minutes to
weigh the pros and cons of what the supreme grandmaster had suggested.

"Yes. You are right, supreme grandmaster.

Austin is too powerful now.

There is no real need to fight him to the death.

It's not worth it!"

The other governing gods also came to the same conclusion and nodded their heads.



"Well, young man, here we go. We're going to make a Heavenly Vow right now.

Then you will believe us,"

the supreme grandmaster said to Austin.

"Go ahead. Try it,"

Austin said in a noncommittal tone. Now, he wasn't as tense as before.

"Let's make the vow together,"

the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect said.

"I swear in the name of the heaven.

I promise that from now on, the Long Sword Sect will submit to Austin and obey all of Austin's orders. If
I act against my vow, the heaven can punish me,"

the eight senior leaders, including the supreme grandmaster, vowed in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As they made the vow, the entire Sword Cosmos trembled at their feet. Faint, endless laws were called
to them as if they had some kind of telepathy.

Then streaks of strange, black runes that resembled black flowers appeared above the heads of the
eight senior leaders of the Long Sword Sect and identified their auras.

'Whoa. It looks like a type of unfathomable spell.



Once a vow is made, it's engraved in space and time and it leaves marks on almost all the laws. If a
vow is violated, all the laws that exist will punish that person.

Then they can no longer cultivate or use any law!'

Austin thought after using his spiritual sense to examine the effects of the vow.

Everyone knew that laws were one of the most important kinds of core fighting power in the realm of
governing gods.

If a governing god couldn't use laws, it would mean that he had lost more than half of his fighting
power.

That would make them even inferior to a semi-governing god.
