As those words sounded, various oaths were sworn beneath the heavens, including all the crew members of both sides. With this, unless they were willing to throw away their lives, they would be subjected to the fierce and switch deliverance that was the Heavenly Punishment Lightning. As for those who were at the Heavenly Creation Realm, this oath was far intense as they would receive the direct rejecting of the heavenly forces, only those who've established their own Original Law have some modicum of a chance to survive.

Therefore, to Park Ji-Hu and Venerable Ghost Blade, this oath was one that would never violate.

”Now…” Yi Seo-Jun smiled as the oaths finished, turning his attention towards the only person who had yet to swear an oath, the grey-robed celestial! She was the only loose-end amongst them and a factor that must be eliminated at all cost, for both sides.

The grey-robed female softy sneered, her tone filled with disdain and contempt. Her posture, her stance, aura, and actions were all steady and without any sense of urgency. It was as if her situation was nothing to her.

This startled Venerable Ghost Blade as he contemplated the circumstances. The problem with Celestials is that their paths were not one that required the will of the heavens, and thus heavenly oaths were all but useless before them. The path of Celestials was one that created their very own heaven within themselves, fortifying it with truths, resources, and various forms of energies of the multiverse.

It would be like a King trying to impose their will on to pirates! They may attempt to eliminate them, but when have pirates ever feared kings?!

For Celestials, only Dao or Soul Oaths can be applied, but those oaths held no chance of survival and can even affect one's future cultivation in either of those paths, even if they do not break the oath. However, that wasn't always the case. Soul Oaths or Dao Oaths can help solidify one's cultivation as well, especially relating to Dao Oaths.

Yi Seo-Jun turned his attention to this grey-robed celestial, ”I have one question: Willing or Not?” As those words sounded, there was a formless pressure that seemed to form, pressing down on the chests of all those in the surroundings. This pressure was like a question from an emperor of a nation talking about the fate of commoners.

The grey-robed female took a second glance at Yi Seo-Jun before directly laughing. This laughter was like the fluttering of beautiful music that contained the woes and highs of life! It was tantalizing to listen to, but it didn't seem intentional.

”Not.” After that laughter, she turned her gaze towards the Yaoguai, no longer paying attention to this Yi Seo-Jun.

Frowning, Yi Seo-Jun contemplated some matters. There were several options before him, but did he really need to take action? Instead, he turned towards Venerable Ghost Blade and smiled. This smile contained hidden meanings that were quite obvious.

However, unexpectedly, Venerable Ghost Blade directly ignored him. He was not some pawn of this Crown Prince, nor was he going to be used as a measuring stick. If he was so naive, wouldn't his cultivation since be reduced to nothing but a joke?

”Hmph,” witnessing Venerable Ghost Blade's indifference and unwillingness to take the first path in offending this random celestial, he felt slightly cold in his heart. The only reason he would compromise with the death dealers of the Yeomna Empire was because of his attempts to keep the pursuit of the Non-Entity a secret from everyone.

It was also why he informed Venerable Ghost Blade. If he knew his actions were linked to a Non-Entity, he could easily deduce that if he didn't agree to the conditions, Yi Seo-Jun would wipe him off the face of the Fortune Cemetery! However, this celestial was different.

Celestials were rulers in many parts of the expansive Heavenly Origin Grounds, and it was difficult to determine who they were connected to. Also, they weren't limited by the same laws they were or subjected to the benefits or disadvantages like heavenly cultivators that require drawing power from the heavens. If they desired, their combat strength, regardless of their location, will always be one hundred percent.

This made their forces a very dangerous in the Heavenly Origin Grounds were laws strength was dependant on location. Especially with the possibility to change the environment or laws within the world to their liking, it simply made things incredibly difficult to deal with. However, this was only a small aspect of a true celestials power! A tip of an iceberg, so to speak. Despite that, it was more than enough to cause many Empires and forces to think thrice before acting.

”Fine, as long as you give your word to not spread a word of this incident, it'll be enough,” conceded Yi Seo-Jun. He felt somewhat embarrassed by his previous words and her curt response. However, if he had enough strength to kill Venerable Ghost Blade, he would've done so. At least, he couldn't do so without informing his father of his actions.

It was this unwillingness that led him to compromise with the death reapers that were the Yeomna Empire. In any other case, where he could use or had his usual guards with him, he would've personally laid out the order to dig the graves of this savage lot, including this rude celestial. Unfortunately, circumstances dictate actions.

However, he never expected the reply from the celestial gave.

”It'll be enough if you leave from my sight.” Her tone was beyond rude, even somewhat annoyed. Her words invoked rage in every one of the Oneuli Empire's crew, including Park Ji-Hu. Hahm Eun-Jung, the beautiful woman that always stood beside Yi Seo-Jun, couldn't withstand such words and lashed out.

”You slut! How daring of you to say such words, are you courting death?!” Hahm Eun-Jung's words were like a light, as her sentiment was echoed amidst the crew.

However, beyond shocking, a reply came from Park Ji-Hu that silenced them all. With a disdainful and cold snort, he roared imposingly, ”Who's the slut?! You're the slut! All of you, be silent!”

Before the grey-robed woman could even turn her head around in response, these words flew wildly about in rage. Even the grey-robed woman couldn't help but be startled by the sudden infighting. In truth, she was just about to teach these little idiots a lesson, but now...she felt a little bit awkward.
