Dominator Emperor

Two Immortal Emperor True Artifacts and seven Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Artifacts. Everyone now knew just how many Immortal Emperor’s Artifacts the enemy on the Divine Altar had brought.

When the invincible might of the two Immortal Emperor True Artifacts and seven Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Artifacts combined into one, countless phenomena descended from the Azure Heaven: Immortal Emperors assailing the heavens, True Gods shattering laws, the myriad heavens themselves falling…

As these phenomena appeared, the entire Human Emperor Realm trembled. In that instant, many Old Undyings lying in their coffins opened their eyes. Even existences who had long been sealed were startled awake.

”Is the Celestial Dao Academy finished?” Feeling this invincible power, even Old Undyings who had lived for ages couldn’t help but murmur to themselves.

Could the Celestial Dao Academy withstand such a blow? If it landed, even an academy as powerful as theirs would likely be annihilated, turned to ash!

At this moment, all the spectators outside the Celestial Dao Academy were suppressed. Whether they were True Masters and Ancient Saints, or the Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors hidden in the shadows, all were completely suppressed beneath the might of so many Emperor Artifacts.

More than ten Old Undyings jointly controlled seven Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Artifacts and two Immortal Emperor True Artifacts. Such a lineup could slay gods and slaughter devils. What could possibly stand in their way?

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG… A sword cry resounded through the Nine Heavens. The Celestial Dao Academy’s ”All Heavens God Slaying Array” had also been pushed to its absolute limit. A single sweep of its blade could turn a billion star rivers to dust. Once the Sword Array was unleashed, it could refine the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Any Old Undying, no matter how strong, would be obliterated by such a Sword Array.

BOOM— The two sides clashed, Emperor Artifacts against the Sword Array. The All Heavens God Slaying Array faltered for a moment, and its Divine Sword, as massive as the sky itself, suddenly dimmed! Although the All Heavens God Slaying Array was once an incomparably powerful Sword Array, it was difficult to gain an advantage against the assault of so many Emperor Artifacts and Immortal Soldiers.

”The Celestial Dao Academy is not a place you can come and go as you please!” Just as the Divine Altar’s nine Immortal Emperor Treasure Soldiers gained the upper hand, a great shout echoed from the Celestial Vault.

HUMMM— The space Above the Nine Heavens instantly turned crimson red, as if the heavens themselves were being boiled. In the deepest part of the sky above the Celestial Dao Academy’s most sacred ancestral Divine Land, a massive vortex appeared. This immense vortex instantly set the Nine Heavens ablaze.

It was only then that everyone could see clearly. Seven old men had appeared Above the Nine Heavens. They were all ancient beyond belief, clearly Elder Ancestors who had been sealed for countless eons. Their lifespans were already depleted, and they looked as if they had one foot in the grave. However, even with their exhausted lifespans, their remaining Blood Qi was still enough to sweep through the world. With every move, they could reach for the Cyan Netherworld above and plumb the deepest abyss below. Each of them was an existence capable of chasing stars, seizing the moon, refining the six daos, and grasping the Eight Desolations.

The seven old men now jointly controlled a giant furnace. This furnace could refine the ten heavens above and incinerate the Nine Realms below. When it was opened, let alone all of creation, it could even refine Time Space itself. Under the joint control of the Seven Great Ancestors, the furnace erupted with boundless Divine Power. Even a True God would have to retreat in deference before it.

”Seven Great Ancestors, weren’t you trapped by the Domain God?!” an aged voice cried out in shock from the Divine Altar.

”Refinement!” However, the seven old men ignored the cry. The giant furnace unleashed an endless torrent of Divine Fire, aiming straight for the Divine Altar. As the boundless Divine Fire poured down, even the combined Divine Power of the seven great Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Artifacts and two Immortal Emperor True Artifacts was instantly suppressed.

CLANG— As their Divine Power was suppressed, the Sword Radiance of the All Heavens God Slaying Array grew even more brilliant and its might intensified, counterattacking the Divine Altar!

”The Primordial Furnace!” At this moment, it wasn’t just the mysterious enemies on the Divine Altar. Even some of the Old Undyings watching from the shadows turned pale with fright upon seeing the giant furnace controlled by the seven elders!

”The Primordial Furnace!” Sensing the power of the endless Divine Fire pouring from the furnace, countless Old Undyings buried beneath the ground in the East Hundred Cities awakened from their seals. Feeling that power, their expressions changed drastically. They murmured, ”The Primordial Furnace... wasn’t it rumored that the Celestial Dao Academy lost it several eras ago?”

The Primordial Furnace was the Celestial Dao Academy’s ultimate treasure. Its origins were extremely ancient, so much so that no one could clearly explain them. Some had speculated that the Academy’s Primordial Furnace came from the Mythical Era and possessed unfathomable power. One of the reasons the Celestial Dao Academy had been able to endure through the Human Emperor Realm’s most difficult and darkest times was because it possessed the Primordial Furnace!

However, legend later said that the Celestial Dao Academy had lost the Primordial Furnace. Because of this, the furnace had not appeared for a very long time, and the world had not seen even a shadow of it since.

And yet today, the Celestial Dao Academy’s ”lost” Primordial Furnace had truly appeared. Seeing it, all the Old Undyings—whether they were present or not—felt a sense of foreboding. Even those watching from the shadows felt a sudden chill.

’The Seven Great Ancestors… this is a trap!’ one of the observing Old Undyings thought, a cold shiver running down his spine.

The Celestial Dao Academy had many existences from the older generation, like the Thunder Ancestor, an Old Undying from the era of Ta Kong Immortal Emperor. However, existences like the Thunder Ancestor were not the Academy’s most terrifying Elder Ancestors.

Legend said that the Celestial Dao Academy had seven terrifying existences buried and sealed within. Their lifespans were exhausted, and they could pass on at any moment. These seven were known as the Seven Great Ancestors.

The Seven Great Ancestors of the Celestial Dao Academy would not emerge unless the Academy was on the brink of destruction. Because their lifespans were exhausted, their emergence would likely mean their final demise!

Not long ago, an alliance of Old Undyings scheming against the Celestial Dao Academy had obtained a secret piece of intelligence. A great schism had occurred within the Academy; the Domain God had gone berserk. To stabilize the Domain God, the Academy’s Seven Great Ancestors had been forced to emerge. However, they failed to stabilize the Domain God and were instead trapped by it in another Dimension!

It was precisely because of this that the alliance of Old Undyings, seeing the great schism in the Academy finally erupt, dared to make their move. They intended to destroy the Celestial Dao Academy and seize its heritage.

But seeing the Seven Great Ancestors appear today, and even the Academy’s long-lost Primordial Furnace, it was now clear even to a fool that this was all a trap. From the very beginning, the Celestial Dao Academy had laid a snare, waiting for those with ill intentions to jump in.

”Zhongli, you old bastard, you set us up!” an aged voice roared in fury from the Divine Altar. Zhongli was one of the Celestial Dao Academy’s Seven Great Ancestors.

”Go—” At this moment, another furious roar came from the Divine Altar. Under the combined pressure of the All Heavens God Slaying Array and the Primordial Furnace, the Divine Altar was at a disadvantage. The Ancestral Vein beneath the Celestial Dao Academy was fueling the array and the furnace with an infinitely vast amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. This immediately put the Divine Altar at a severe disadvantage, as if they were fighting on enemy turf.

BOOM! The seven Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Artifacts and two Immortal Emperor True Artifacts—the might of the nine Emperor Artifacts instantly merged into one. They no longer attacked the depths of the Celestial Dao Academy but tried to flee outward. At this point, they completely disregarded the men in black trapped within the Sword Array.

BANG! A deafening explosion. With more than ten Old Undyings jointly controlling the nine Emperor Artifacts and single-mindedly focused on escape, even the Celestial Dao Academy’s All Heavens God Slaying Array could not necessarily trap them. They forcibly punched their way out, stretching the Sword Array to its limits. It seemed only a matter of time before they broke through.

”Since you’re already here, don’t even think about leaving.” Just as the Divine Altar was about to break through the array and escape, Li Qiye’s voice rang out at this most inopportune moment.

WHOOSH— WHOOSH— WHOOSH— In that instant, endless Holy Light propped open the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. The boundless Holy Light was like a giant canopy, instantly covering the entire Celestial Dao Academy!

At that moment, an unbelievable scene occurred. Li Qiye was actually carrying a huge stone stele—no, to be precise, he was carrying a stone wall!

At the entrance of the Celestial Dao Academy stood a giant stone stele. Countless names of Elder Sages were carved upon it. Students who had graduated from the academy and later achieved fame would return to leave their names! This stone stele was a testament to the glory of the Celestial Dao Academy!

Hao Hai Immortal Emperor, Ta Kong Immortal Emperor, the Martial God, the Overlord Immortal Lion King, the Sword Ancestor… name after name that once shook the universe. Some names were so ancient they were impossible to trace.

For generations, countless cultivators had believed this stele was merely a symbol of glory. But today, something incredibly bizarre happened.

Li Qiye was actually carrying the stele on his back. Endless Holy Light erupted from within it, sacred and supreme. Under this supremely sacred light, the Ten Thousand Techniques all retreated. This Holy Light, like a giant canopy, enveloped the entire Celestial Dao Academy.

But that wasn’t even the most terrifying or moving part. One by one, the names on the stele began to surface. Sword Ancestor, Celestial Dragon, Sea God… One after another, ancient names appeared, and from within those names, one after another, shadows stepped out.

As each shadow stepped out, an aura of looking down on the world, of being unrivaled through the ages, instantly filled the entire East Hundred Cities. At this moment, everyone had the same illusion: the Sword Ancestor, the Celestial Dragon, the Sea God, Ta Kong Immortal Emperor, Hao Hai Immortal Emperor, the Overlord Immortal Lion King, the Martial God… one after another, these invincible existences were standing in the skies above the Celestial Dao Academy. It was as if all the gods of antiquity had been resurrected to guard the academy.

When the shadows of these timeless existences stood in the sky above the Celestial Dao Academy, the entire academy became as impregnable as a fortress of gold. It could repel an army of thousands from the outside and trap a thousand devils and gods within! Whether attacking from within or assailing from without, nothing could breach the defensive line formed by these shadows! This was a defensive line forged by ancient existences, effective both internally and externally!

”Impossible—” This scene didn’t just stun the outsiders; even many of the Celestial Dao Academy’s Elder Guardians were dumbfounded. They never knew the stele had such a function. Many Elders and Guardians had always thought the stele at the academy’s entrance was merely a testament to its glory!

However, it wasn’t until today that everyone understood. This stele was not just a simple testament to glory. Existences like Hao Hai Immortal Emperor, Ta Kong Immortal Emperor, the Martial God, the Sword Ancestor, and the Celestial Dragon… they hadn’t just left their names. They had left their imprints, their Laws!
