Dominator Emperor

Li Qiye’s brazen words left many people speechless. The Nantian Country was an incredibly ancient country, one that had once produced Immortal Emperor Feiyang.

One had to understand that among the Immortal Emperors throughout the eons, Immortal Emperor Feiyang was definitely one of the most brilliant! Legend had it that when Immortal Emperor Feiyang’s Feiyang Banner appeared, it could refine heaven and earth and suppress the Ten Thousand Realms!

”This Little Ghost is truly lawless!” even a cultivator from the older generation couldn’t help but mutter. As the National Preceptor of the Nantian Country, Nan Tian Hudu was definitely not someone who had gained his reputation for nothing. An Eight Palace Ancient Saint, a First Generation Dao Saint—how heaven-defying.

”You court death, Little Ghost—” At that moment, a cold snort echoed. Emperor’s Qi billowed as someone said coldly, ”You think you’re invincible just because you have a few treasures on you?”

Just then, six Emperors took a step into the void. The six units of iron cavalry behind them followed like flowing water, advancing and retreating with perfect freedom. The six cavalry units seemed to be one with the six Emperors. When the six Emperors moved, it was like the head of a dragon, and the six cavalry units would writhe through the air like a Flood Dragon.

”The Jiangzuo Six Emperors—” Seeing the six Emperors move, with their iron cavalry flowing like water, someone’s expression changed as they exclaimed, ”The Worthy King Six Vibration Array!”

”Legend has it that the Jiangzuo Six Emperors possess the Array Map for the ’Worthy King Six Vibration Array’ left behind by the Jiangzuo Prince!” Seeing these six Emperors, another person couldn’t help but mutter.

Many people paled at the sight of the Jiangzuo Six Emperors. A single one of the Emperors might not be particularly daunting to an Ancient Saint, but when all six appeared together, it was a different story. The appearance of the Jiangzuo Six Emperors signified the emergence of the ”Worthy King Six Vibration Array,” a heaven-defying Clan Suppression Array created by an invincible Worthy King.

Li Qiye had seen Marquis Jiangzuo’s ”Worthy King Six Vibration Array” before. Of course, the Marquis’s version couldn’t compare to that of the Jiangzuo Six Emperors! What the Marquis had used was merely a minor array; the one wielded by the Jiangzuo Six Emperors was the true ”Worthy King Six Vibration Array”!

Li Qiye glanced at the Jiangzuo Six Emperors and said calmly, ”Butt out.”

Li Qiye’s arrogant attitude left everyone speechless. It seemed this kid was domineering toward everyone, looking down on them all!

”You’re courting death, Little Ghost!” The expressions of the Jiangzuo Six Emperors changed, their gazes turning grim. The six Emperors took a step forward, and the Grand Array moved with them, poised to strike Li Qiye down.

It was no surprise that the Jiangzuo Six Emperors wanted to kill Li Qiye. He had schemed against and killed Marquis Jiangzuo and over a thousand disciples of the Jiangzuo Family. The Jiangzuo Family had wanted revenge all this time! Now that they had run into this Little Ghost, they certainly weren’t going to let him go.

”Junior, you have insulted my Upper Country. It is not too late to bow your head and apologize. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving this place today!” Nan Tian Hudu stared coldly at Li Qiye, his aura pressing down on him. In his eyes, Li Qiye was already a turtle in a jar!

Nan Tian Hudu’s words displeased some of the cultivators from smaller sects, who began to murmur in dissent. It was clearly Young Emperor Nantian who had ambushed Li Qiye first. Now that the Young Emperor had lost, they were demanding Li Qiye be the one to apologize!

Although some cultivators were unhappy, there was nothing they could do. The Great Teaching Territories had always been protective of their own. For them, right and wrong had long ceased to matter. To dare to oppose them was to court death!

”Leave?” Li Qiye said with a broad smile. ”It’s not hard for me to leave. Just pluck off that Nantian Boy’s head and give it to me. I’ll turn around and walk away without another word!”

Young Emperor Nantian, who was healing off to the side, turned ashen with rage and couldn’t help but tremble. He was a genius of the Middle Grand Realm, the pinnacle of the younger generation, and had always been insufferably arrogant. Yet today, in Li Qiye’s words, he had become someone whose life could be taken at will! How could this not make him want to vomit blood from sheer anger?

”National Preceptor, why waste words on him? Take him down!” Young Emperor Nantian said in a low voice. ”Make him understand that for daring to challenge the prestige of my Nantian Country, there is only one path: death!”

Nan Tian Hudu looked down at Li Qiye and said, ”Now, even if you wanted to leave, you couldn’t. Unless you cripple your own hands and feet and destroy your Dao Practice, my Nantian Country might, out of the kindness of its heart, spare your life!”

”You’re full of shit!” Li Qiye let out a long cry as his Blood Qi surged. He smashed both arms forward, swinging them down with the force of billions of catties, as if ten thousand Divine Peaks were crashing down.

”Be contained—” Nan Tian Hudu roared. The gates to his palaces swung open, instantly moving to envelop Li Qiye.

BOOM— With a deafening roar, Li Qiye’s arms struck down, shattering the earth for ten thousand miles and causing mountain after mountain to collapse. However, he didn’t harm Nan Tian Hudu in the slightest. Moreover, the world before Li Qiye’s eyes had changed. There was no Ancient Sky Corpse Land, no Nether River! Before him was a vast and boundless world! His tyrannical and ferocious strike had landed upon this vast, endless land!

At this moment, eight Life Palaces emerged above Nan Tian Hudu’s head. The Main Destiny Palace was the largest, and the other seven Life Palaces all revolved around it.

The eight Life Palaces had constructed a new world, forming a country that had instantly sucked Li Qiye inside. Li Qiye’s strike had landed within this world, making it impossible to harm Nan Tian Hudu.

”Eight Palace Country Formation—” Everyone’s expression changed at this sight. This was the terrifying power of an Eight Palace Ancient Saint.

For a cultivator, there were three opportunities in life to open a Life Palace. This meant that upon reaching the Ancient Saint Realm, a cultivator would have four Life Palaces! Four Life Palaces was the minimum requirement to become an Ancient Saint.

However, for a genius, four Life Palaces was just the foundation! The more Life Palaces one opened, the stronger they were, and the farther they could walk upon their path, perhaps even shouldering the Celestial Mandate to become an Immortal Emperor.

Four Palaces Form a Territory, Eight Palaces Form a Country, and Twelve Palaces Form a Heaven! An Eight Palace Ancient Saint was terrifying enough to make one’s blood run cold, as they could slay enemies without even lifting a finger.

An Eight Palace Ancient Saint was a heaven-defying existence even among Daoist Saints. When their Eight Palaces formed a country, they wielded the power of an entire nation. They didn’t even need treasures or Cultivation Techniques to slay their foes!

”Eight Palaces Form a Country, using the power of a nation to refine ten thousand foes... This is simply too terrifying.” Seeing Li Qiye get sucked into the eight-palace world, even the older-generation Ancient Saints turned pale. Faced with such a powerful enemy, even they would have no choice but to flee.

Li Qiye landed in the Eight Palaces Realm. He looked out at magnificent mountains and rivers filled with endless vitality. It was as if countless living beings resided within, with millions of creatures seemingly offering their faith to this world!

”Little Ghost, today is the day you die!” At this moment, Nan Tian Hudu’s voice descended from the sky within this world. His voice was incomparably majestic. Within this Eight Palaces Country, he himself was the Supreme Being; he was the god here! He possessed absolute authority that no one could challenge.

The moment Nan Tian Hudu’s words fell, a giant hand blotted out the sky and slapped down toward Li Qiye.

”BREAK—” Li Qiye roared furiously. His Life Wheel spun, the Yin Yang Blood Sea churned, a Blood Moon rose, and a blood sun soared into the sky. A Kunpeng leaped into the void. As Li Qiye smashed his arms forward, the wings of the Kunpeng attached to them, making them seem like two Divine Sabers cleaving the world apart.

BOOM— BOOM— BOOM— However, even as Li Qiye swung his arms out, he still couldn’t shatter the giant hand. Even with the force of billions of catties in his arms, he could not cleave it apart.

If the cleaving force of Li Qiye’s arms was as heavy as ten thousand Divine Peaks, then this giant hand possessed the power of an entire world. This was because he was inside the domain of Nan Tian Hudu’s Eight Palaces Country. Compared to this world, Li Qiye was merely an ant. How could he possibly block the power of an entire nation?

BOOM— BOOM— BOOM— Under the crushing pressure of the giant hand, Li Qiye switched from attacking to defending. He raised his arms as if to prop up the heavens, catching the descending hand. But even with the might of his Prison Suppressing Divine Body, he still couldn’t hold back the power of an entire nation. A series of rumbles echoed as the ground beneath Li Qiye’s feet began to fracture.

CRACK— CRACK— CRACK— The sound of the earth shattering was so clear that even the cultivators outside could hear it distinctly! With Li Qiye at the center, massive fissures began to appear in the thousand miles of land beneath his feet, splitting even great rivers.

BOOM— With another thunderous bang, the pressure from the hand intensified. Half of Li Qiye’s body sank into the ground. His arms were already bending under the crushing force of the giant hand, and the bones throughout his body creaked as if they could shatter at any moment!

Li Qiye’s face was flushed red. He had unleashed all his power, but he still couldn’t stop the crushing hand! This was the power of an entire nation; within this world, Li Qiye was simply unable to fight back.

”A Daoist Saint! Eight Palaces Form a Country, wielding the power of a nation. How could anyone possibly resist!” Seeing this, never mind True Masters, even Ancient Saints turned pale. If you encountered an Ancient Saint who could form a country with their eight palaces, even if you were at the Great Saint Perfection realm, you had better run. You would be no match for them at all!

”That Little Ghost really has cultivated a Supreme Immortal Body Technique. To still be alive after being crushed by the power of a nation.” A cultivator, seeing that Li Qiye was still struggling to hold on, couldn’t help but feel envious. ’A Supreme Immortal Body Technique... That’s something countless people drool over!’

A member of the younger generation sneered, ”So what if he has a Supreme Immortal Body Technique? He’s still facing a dead end against an Eight Palace Ancient Saint. The fool doesn’t know life from death. Daring to challenge a Daoist Saint with such shallow Dao Practice... he truly doesn’t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth!”

Seeing Li Qiye struggling desperately, Young Emperor Nantian felt a wave of glee and sneered, ”Hmph, Supreme Immortal Body Technique or not, right now it’s just the final throes of a dying man!”

”Junior, hand over the Supreme Immortal Body Technique, and I might spare your life! Otherwise, I will slowly torture you today until you give it up! Then, you will know the meaning of a fate worse than death!” Within the Eight Palaces Country, Nan Tian Hudu’s voice descended like that of the lord of heaven and earth, the sovereign of all life and death in this world.

”Still running your mouth,” Li Qiye sneered, his face flushed red as he fought against the immense pressure. ”It’s not over ’til it’s over!”
