Dominator Emperor

Looking at the Void Gate before him, Li Qiye took a deep breath. At this moment, he took out a Talisman Paper! It rested on his open palm.

It was a yellowed piece of Talisman Paper that looked completely unremarkable. But how many people in this world could know that such an unassuming, yellowed slip of paper was an extremely precious Immortal Order Paper? Only three sheets of Immortal Order Paper were left in existence!

At this time, Li Qiye dripped a single drop of Longevity Blood onto the Talisman Paper. He then began to chant True Words, his voice booming, ”With my soul as the bridge, connect to the Ten Thousand Realms! Neither gods nor devils shall stand in my way...”

The Longevity Blood was absorbed in a flash. As Li Qiye’s True Words faded, the Talisman Paper combusted. Before the ashes could even fall, a series of sharp zinging sounds rang out. In that instant, an Order Divine Chain forged from Supreme Immortal Rules constructed a supreme Immortal Bridge. This bridge instantly pierced through space and time, extending toward the Void Gate!

In that instant, for this Immortal Bridge, everything else became insignificant. Whether it was hundreds of millions of miles away or millions of years in the future, space and time were no longer barriers. As the Immortal Bridge pierced the void, the true Void Gate appeared. It instantly carried Li Qiye into another dimension as he flew toward it, borne upon the bridge itself!

Just as Li Qiye entered the other dimension and began flying toward the Void Gate, another person appeared. She was also hurtling toward the Void Gate at an unbelievable speed. In an instant, the two of them converged!

”Little girl, this thing is mine,” Li Qiye suddenly said, turning to look at Mei Suyao, who had rushed over using a Supreme Treasure.

Mei Suyao, otherworldly and peerlessly elegant, replied, ”Brother Li, isn’t that a bit too tyrannical? This is an ownerless item. It belongs to whoever is fated to have it.”

”Belongs to the fated?” Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, ”That depends on the item. For ordinary things, I couldn’t care less. But for this item? Not even if an Immortal King were to descend, not even if Azure Heaven itself graced the world, could they compete with me for it! Otherwise, I’ll slaughter Immortal Kings and annihilate Azure Heaven!”

At that moment, a ferocious aura erupted from Li Qiye, soaring to the heavens. It was as if an eternal, peerless being had been resurrected, and his eyes became terrifying to behold.

”Slaughter Immortal Kings and annihilate Azure Heaven! What arrogance! Not even an Immortal Emperor would dare make such a wild claim!” In a flash, Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi also arrived. His entire body pulsed with talisman light as a mysterious and invincible Talisman Power radiated from him. Anyone could tell with a single glance that he was carrying something terrifying.

At that moment, everyone within the Eternal Gate witnessed this scene. Countless people wanted to fly toward that portal, but even using all their strength, they couldn’t cross over into the other dimension, let alone reach the mysterious gate itself.

Although no one within the Eternal Gate could fly to this mysterious portal, they could all clearly see the events unfolding within.

Seeing Li Qiye, Fairy Mei Suyao, and Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi, everyone present was stirred.

Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi had also arrived using a Supreme Treasure. His bearing was godlike, as if he were a deity descended from the heavens. Every glance he cast revealed an aura of absolute supremacy over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Li Qiye merely glanced at him and said flatly, ”An Emperor’s Ancient Talisman. It’s just a small trinket, nothing special.”

These words from Li Qiye immediately caused Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi’s expression to sink. The Emperor’s Ancient Talisman! This was a supreme object he had obtained while studying the Dao at the Emperor World Academy. Countless people coveted this single Ancient Talisman; it was something they could only dream of possessing!

Divine Light pulsed in Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi’s eyes. He said, ”To look down on even the Emperor’s Ancient Talisman... it seems Fellow Daoist fancies himself peerless in this world!”

Li Qiye couldn’t even be bothered to look at him. ”If I were to enter the Emperor World Academy,” he said, ”I’d take the entire academy, not just some measly Emperor’s Ancient Talisman! Now, I’m taking this item. Get lost, if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, I’ll kill you with my own two hands!” As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Mei Suyao.

To Li Qiye, killing Ji Kong Wudi was of no concern. As for Mei Suyao, if she didn’t know her place, he wouldn’t spare her out of respect for Sleeve Water Immortal Emperor. Anyone who blocked his path would be killed without mercy!

”In that case, Miss Mei, it seems we should eliminate him first, then team up to enter!” Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi proposed to Mei Suyao. He wanted to join forces with her to slay Li Qiye before claiming the Void Gate!

”You?” At that moment, a melodious voice rang out. A woman appeared, seemingly walking on water. Azure waves billowed beneath her feet, and watery vapor coiled around her like a True Dragon. Riding the waves, she seemed like a goddess of the Vast Sea, the master of the endless ocean!

”The Heaven-Suppressing Goddess!” Seeing this person, countless people within the Eternal Gate were once again stirred.

’Miss Zi is here too.’ The Heaven-Suppressing Goddess, Zi Cui Ning, had also entered this space using a Supreme Treasure. Even Mei Suyao was moved by her appearance.

Even she, who was called a Fairy and possessed an Innate Immortal Bone, did not dare to underestimate the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess, Zi Cui Ning!

She was rumored to be the successor handpicked by the Black Dragon King! No matter how talented or monstrous a genius was, none dared to be careless when facing the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess!

In the age when the Black Dragon King was still present, even Immortal Emperors kept a respectful distance from him. Now, even with the Black Dragon King gone, who would not be wary of the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess, his legendary chosen successor?

Upon Zi Cui Ning’s arrival, Ji Kong Wudi’s face fell. His eyes narrowed, seeming to gather the light of the stars, and an incomparably terrifying Divine Power erupted from him. In that instant, he seemed like one possessed by a Divine Being!

Within the Eternal Gate, many who saw this scene looked at each other in shock. The sight left many of them deeply stirred.

”The Fierce One, Li Qiye; Fairy Mei Suyao; Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi; and the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess, Zi Cui Ning. You could say that the four pinnacles of the current younger generation have finally gathered in one place,” someone murmured, seeing the four of them enter the other dimension.

”Ji Kong Wudi and the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess are mortal enemies. Whenever they meet, it’s a life-or-death confrontation!” a prince was heard muttering.

The battle between the Black Dragon King and the Ta Kong Immortal Emperor was an event known throughout the Nine Realms. In that fight, the Black Dragon King tore apart the Celestial Mandate. Afterward, both the Black Dragon King and the Ta Kong Immortal Emperor disappeared. Legend says that ever since that battle, Heavenly Sea City and Takong Mountain have been irreconcilable foes.

Ji Kong Wudi is the heir of Takong Mountain, while the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess is the heir of Heavenly Sea City. As the saying goes, when enemies cross paths, their eyes burn with hate. Now that the two of them had met, they would likely fight to the death.

The Heaven-Suppressing Goddess rode the waves forward, wielding the Black Dragon Spear. She pointed it at Ji Kong Wudi and Mei Suyao, her aura as magnificent as a rainbow piercing the sun. ”The two of you can come at me together!” she declared.

Such domineering words stunned countless onlookers. Her opponents were Fairy Mei Suyao and Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi, yet the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess was challenging both at once. This was the pinnacle of arrogance, looking down upon all others in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

”Suyao has no interest in fighting,” Fairy Mei Suyao stated with her usual otherworldly detachment. She instantly disengaged from the standoff with an unbelievable movement, her body transforming into a streak of dao light as she shot toward the Void Gate.

The Heaven-Suppressing Goddess started to move, but Li Qiye had already acted. Riding his Immortal Bridge, he gave chase, saying, ”Leave her to me.”

Ji Kong Wudi stepped forward, but the Heaven-Suppressing Goddess thrust her spear, seemingly sealing the Nine Heavens and instantly blocking his path. ”Don’t even think about leaving today!” she declared.

”Does Takong Mountain fear a fight?!” Ji Kong Wudi roared. He unleashed his power, appearing like a Divine Being descending upon the world. Laws split the heavens, and his tyrannical Immortal Power surged!

”Takong Mountain? What is that supposed to be!” Heaven-Suppressing Goddess Zi Cui Ning thrust her Black Dragon Spear. It was like a black dragon soaring through the sky, its cry echoing endlessly. For a moment, it created the illusion that the Black Dragon King himself had been reborn. Beneath this single thrust, stars were extinguished and Wan Dao crumbled. Any genius or prodigy witnessing this strike would have turned pale with fright.

’Has the Black Dragon King been reborn?’ Seeing the might of that one spear thrust, anyone who witnessed it was horrified. Even the most arrogant of geniuses felt a chill creep into their hearts.

One was a Divine Being, the other a Divine Maiden. One was the sixth-generation descendant of an Immortal Emperor; the other, the chosen successor of a legendary hegemon. When they clashed, the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered. Even old-generation experts like Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors would turn pale watching their Divine Techniques!

On the other side, Fairy Mei Suyao rushed into the Void Gate in an instant, and Li Qiye immediately chased after her. The two of them vanished inside.

When Li Qiye stepped into the Void Gate, he wasn’t transported anywhere. To be precise, he discovered that upon entering, he had walked into a dead end.

He had just stepped inside, only to find that the Void Gate was more like a room. Other than the entrance, there were no other exits. The entire space was built from Supreme Law, a natural part of creation itself, as if born from chaos at the beginning of the world. It had no dazzling light or brilliant colors; it was an embodiment of Returning to the Truth, a return to the very first step. It felt as if everything was just beginning.

There was only one object inside: a single rune, about the size of a fist. The entire rune was simple and primitive. It was so ancient that not even the greatest contemporary rune masters would be able to recognize its meaning. Its head and tail were connected, its left and right sides embraced, and its top and bottom were linked. The entire rune formed a single, unified whole, with no beginning and no end.

One glance was enough to know this rune was not some later creation, nor was it a relic left behind by an Immortal King. It was born of heaven and earth, a complete entity in and of itself. This simple rune seemed to expound upon the mysteries of the cosmos and illustrate the Profound Communication of the ages.

The moment he saw the rune, Li Qiye was completely captivated. As someone who understood heaven and earth and knew the secrets of the ages, he immediately grasped its significance. This was an absolutely priceless treasure.

But Li Qiye wasn’t the only one captivated. Mei Suyao, who had entered a step ahead of him, was also staring at the rune, deeply moved. A single rune that contained the mysteries of the cosmos and illustrated the Profound Communication of the ages!
