Dominator Emperor

Bai Jianzhen gave Li Qiye a cold, merciless glance. In the end, she said nothing and simply retreated to the side.

”Make your move. I’ll be happy to send you to Hell to reunite with your cousin!” Li Qiye said, looking at Young Emperor Nantian.

”You’re courting death, so I shall grant you your wish!” With Bai Jianzhen’s retreat, Young Emperor Nantian was secretly delighted. He sneered and took out his weapon.

DONG—! A deafening crash. The moment Young Emperor Nantian’s weapon landed on the ground, the very earth trembled. It was an incredibly thick copper staff, thousands of feet long and engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers. At that moment, Young Emperor Nantian’s right hand swelled to a gigantic size, easily lifting the massive Copper Staff!

At the same time, a Life Wheel appeared behind Young Emperor Nantian, and his Blood Qi surged to the heavens. In an instant, his inexhaustible energy flooded the land for thousands of miles. His Blood Qi was so abundant it seemed infinite. As it shot skyward, it resembled a bursting dam, a torrent of power rolling out to shake the very earth and drain the color from every onlooker’s face.

Young Emperor Nantian was born with a Holy Wheel, and the abundance of his Blood Qi was unmatched among his peers. Though his power was only at the Prince level, he possessed the Blood Qi of the True Realm. The sheer volume of his Blood Qi rivaled even that of an Ancient Saint. This was what made him so terrifying.

”The Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff!” Seeing Young Emperor Nantian wielding such a massive copper staff, a cultivator from the older generation recognized its origins, murmuring, ”A once-famous Saint Venerable True Artifact from Nantian Country!”

”A Saint Venerable True Artifact?” Hearing this, the younger cultivators who didn’t know the story were stunned. They felt that a Saint Venerable True Artifact was unworthy of someone of Young Emperor Nantian’s status.

After all, even Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist used a Great Sage Treasure, so how could Young Emperor Nantian use something lesser? That said, when comparing a True Artifact and a Treasure Artifact of the same level, the Treasure Artifact was far inferior. Some Ancient Saint Level True Artifacts could even contend with Saint Venerable Level Treasure Artifacts.

”This True Artifact has a grand history. A Saint Venerable of Nantian Country once used it to sweep through all opposition!” a cultivator from the older generation explained upon seeing it.

Nantian Country once produced a genius, also born with a Holy Wheel, who obtained a True Destiny Divine Stone. This stone was the root of a naturally heavy artifact. After being refined into the Mountain-Shaking Copper Staff, it weighed tens of millions of pounds.

Such a True Artifact could not be used by just anyone. Only a cultivator with sufficiently powerful Blood Qi could wield it as an extension of their will! It was for this very reason that this Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff was passed down to Young Emperor Nantian.

The Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff, weighing tens of millions of pounds, would be difficult for even a True Master to lift. However, in Young Emperor Nantian’s hands, it was as if it weighed nothing, a testament to how abundant his Blood Qi was.

”Taste my staff!” With the Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff in hand, Young Emperor Nantian roared and brought it crashing down with unparalleled speed. This strike contained no complex techniques, only the raw power of a tremendously heavy staff swung at incredible velocity, creating a deafening roar as lightning crackled around it.

”HRAAAGH—” Li Qiye let out a wild roar. Treating his own arm like a staff, he swung it upward to meet the descending Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff!

”You’re overestimating yourself—” Young Emperor Nantian sneered upon seeing Li Qiye block the staff with his bare arm. ’My Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff weighs tens of millions of pounds! With its power, I can shatter mountains and rivers with ease!’

BOOM—! The ground where Li Qiye stood instantly caved in, shattering into pieces as countless fissures spread out. Li Qiye himself was hammered deep into the earth!

The power of that single strike left everyone dumbfounded. A blow from such a heavy staff would turn anyone into meat paste. Not even an Ancient Saint would dare block such an attack with their physical body.

”That Little Ghost Li was far too arrogant. He was simply courting death.” Seeing the ground utterly shattered, everyone assumed Li Qiye was undoubtedly dead. ”He got what he deserved,” someone sneered.

RUMBLE! However, at that very moment, mud and rock flew everywhere as Li Qiye climbed out of the crater! He was covered in dirt and dust, and his arm was dripping with fresh blood—an undeniable injury from the Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff.

”Impossible—” Young Emperor Nantian’s expression changed drastically when he saw that Li Qiye’s arm was merely bleeding. ’I know the power of my own strike perfectly well! Even a True Master taking that blow head-on would have had their bones shattered and flesh pulped. And yet, Li Qiye’s arm is only bleeding—it isn’t even broken! This is unbelievable! What kind of physical body is that?!’

Countless onlookers gasped at this sight. ’What kind of physique could possibly block a blow of that magnitude? It’s simply monstrous.’

The gaze of Saint Child Bao Zhu, who had fought Li Qiye before, flickered with uncertainty. He couldn’t suppress the intense jealousy welling up inside him. At this moment, he understood. ’Li Qiye has definitely cultivated the Prison Suppressing Divine Body! That is my life’s goal, my lifelong pursuit!’

”My turn—” Li Qiye bellowed. His arms spread wide, spanning an impossible distance to wrap around a towering mountain peak. With a great heave and a deafening ”KRA-CHA,” the heavens and earth shook as Li Qiye snapped the entire mountain in two at its base. The peak, tens of thousands of feet high, was now held firmly in his grasp.

WHOOSH— In an instant, Li Qiye swung the colossal mountain peak through the air, bringing it down with tyrannical force. For someone with the Prison Suppressing Divine Body, which granted immeasurable weight and power, lifting a mountain was no difficult feat.

”HRAAAGH—” His face paling, Young Emperor Nantian let out a furious roar and swung his Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff to meet the attack.

BOOM—! A deafening crash. A waterfall of earth and stone rained down from the sky. Young Emperor Nantian was swatted away like a fly, sent flying for hundreds of miles before crashing into the ground and creating a bottomless crater.

Everyone was dumbfounded. This was just too insane! Young Emperor Nantian used a Heavy Staff as his weapon, but Li Qiye was even more outrageous—he used an entire mountain!

A moment later, Young Emperor Nantian shot out of the crater, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His body was covered in wounds. His constitution was nowhere near as heaven-defying as Li Qiye’s. Even though he had blocked the mountain with his Heavy Staff, the impact with the ground had still broken several of his bones.

At this time, Young Emperor Nantian’s True Destiny appeared, channeling Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to heal his injuries. He was a Prince, and his True Destiny had already been cultivated into a Celestial Destiny Primordial Spirit! As long as his True Destiny was not extinguished, he could survive even if his physical body was destroyed.

”AAARGH—” His Blood Qi was peerless and he was a master of the heavy staff; this was his advantage. To think he would be sent flying by Li Qiye today! The humiliation drove Young Emperor Nantian into a frenzy. He let out a furious roar as his Life Wheel, round as a full moon, materialized behind him. Upon the wheel, a Longevity Treasure appeared.

The moment the Longevity Treasure appeared, Young Emperor Nantian’s Blood Qi began to roar. It surged toward the Celestial Vault like a Celestial Waterfall as Longevity Blood coursed through his Life Wheel, unleashing a boundless eruption of power. In an instant, the endless Blood Qi flooded the heavens, blotting out tens of thousands of miles of sky.

BOOM— BOOM— BOOM— The terrifying Blood Qi churned without cease, shaking the heavens and the earth. At this moment, even the sun and moon lost their luster, and the world was plunged into darkness, completely shrouded by Young Emperor Nantian’s Blood Qi.

Even more terrifyingly, a Vermilion Bird emerged from Young Emperor Nantian’s Longevity Treasure. As it spread its wings, it fanned the endless Blood Qi, instantly creating a monstrous Sea of Blood that blotted out everything.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the Sea of Blood in the Celestial Vault. ’What kind of tyrannical Blood Qi would it take to blot out the entire sky!’

”The Celestial Sparrow Reincarnation Wheel—and the Vermilion Bird Longevity Technique!” Seeing Young Emperor Nantian erupt with Blood Qi that made even True Masters tremble, many paled. To have such abundant Blood Qi would make anyone wary. At this level, the nuances of cultivation techniques and the power of treasure artifacts seemed irrelevant. Blood Qi itself had become the ultimate weapon!

”An Immortal Emperor Longevity Technique! A Million-Year-Life Wheel!” Seeing Young Emperor Nantian’s Blood Qi, countless people were moved, and countless more were filled with envy.

Young Emperor Nantian was born with a Holy Wheel, and his Blood Qi was already immense. What was even more monstrous was that he possessed an ancestral Celestial Sparrow Reincarnation Wheel! This Life Wheel had been refined from the Annual Ring of a Million-Year-Old Celestial Fire Sparrow. The Blood Qi from a million-year-old Longevity Spirit was simply majestic and incredibly powerful.

More terrifying still, Young Emperor Nantian’s Longevity Technique was an Immortal Emperor Longevity Technique left behind by Immortal Emperor Feiyang—the Vermilion Bird Longevity Technique!

An Immortal Emperor Longevity Technique, paired with Young Emperor Nantian’s Holy Wheel talent, made him even more formidable! What was even more astounding was that the Vermilion Bird Longevity Technique and the Celestial Sparrow Reincarnation Wheel were a perfect match, amplifying Young Emperor Nantian’s Blood Qi to an incredible degree.

”DIE—” Being sent flying by Li Qiye was the ultimate humiliation for Young Emperor Nantian. With a furious roar, he swung the Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff with crazed abandon.

As the staff swung down, it shattered the Void. A phenomenal vision appeared: it was as if ten thousand mountains were crashing down from the heavens, as if the very earth was collapsing! His endless Blood Qi had transformed into the ultimate power, giving this single strike enough force to slay an Ancient Saint!

The power of this strike made the color drain from everyone’s faces. Today, they finally witnessed the terrifying nature of a Holy Wheel talent. A Supreme Longevity Technique, a peerless Life Wheel, and the talent of a Holy Wheel—a person with such a combination was like a Son of the Heavenly God!

Li Qiye met the attack with a wild roar of his own, swinging the mountain peak to meet it head-on. Both sides clashed with pure, brute force. At this point, fancy techniques were irrelevant. Before absolute weight, all laws would be pulverized!

BOOM— BOOM— BOOM— Three times they clashed. The Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff and the mountain peak collided with brutal force! The impacts were so great they seemed to change the color of the sky, make stars fall from their paths, and reverse the flow of the Celestial River.

For a moment, a waterfall of mud and rock rained from the sky. Li Qiye was at a great disadvantage without a proper weapon. Although the mountain was enormous, it was no match for the Heaven-Shaking Heavy Staff. Under its relentless assault, the mountain peak finally disintegrated, and a heavy blow struck Li Qiye squarely.

Li Qiye was sent flying like a shooting star. BANG— BANG— BANG— He crashed through several mountain peaks before his body was finally embedded deep within a mountainside!

Everyone was left speechless by this tyrannical display. They had thought Li Qiye was like a Strong God, with his own monstrous power, but in the end, it wasn’t enough. When someone’s Blood Qi reached such an insane level, any genius of the same generation would feel an existential threat!
