Dominator Emperor

It was just as Li Qiye had said. This land had once given birth to five incredibly powerful Holy Spirits. The leading Holy Spirit was born from the root of this land, while the other four were formed from its mountains and rivers, their Creation resulting in the Four Symbols: True Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.

Unfortunately, although the Lord of the Holy Spirits could be called invincible, he failed to cherish his own heaven-and-earth Creation. He formed an alliance with the Ancient Netherworld, defected to them, and became an accomplice to their evil deeds.

In that era, the world belonged to the Ancient Netherworld. After the Tiger Emperor City, built by the Lord of the Holy Spirits, pledged allegiance to the Ancient Netherworld, it swept across the world on their behalf, suppressing the Human Race.

This provoked the great anger of Li Qiye, who was the Yin Ya at the time. He led countless Elder Sages and commanded the War Generals of the Human Race to storm the Tiger Emperor City. It was an earth-shattering battle that tore the world asunder and made rivers of blood flow.

In the end, Li Qiye and the countless Elder Sages of the Human Race crushed the Tiger Emperor City. From then on, the city sank into the earth, never to be seen by the world again.

Li Qiye killed the Lord of the Holy Spirits, destroyed his Treasure Body, and finally severed the Earth Vein Root. He had the Elder Sages and True Gods use heaven-defying, unparalleled methods to suppress it beneath the ground, intending to use millions of years for its Refinement.

The Lord of the Holy Spirits was a being formed by this very land. When Li Qiye slaughtered him, severed the Earth Vein Root, and suppressed it underground, his primary goal for the million-year Refinement was to allow the Earth Vein Root to nourish this land in return, hoping another miracle would appear in this Land of Creation.

Just as Li Qiye had expected, this land eventually underwent a new Creation. As the Earth Vein Root was refined, an endless supply of Essence of Heaven and Earth nourished the ground, shaping it into the White Tiger Earth Vein.

Later, the Primordial Ancestor of the Tiger Roar Sect also received this land’s Creation. He ultimately completed his Cultivation from an ordinary white tiger into a Tiger God, establishing an Immortal foundation for the Tiger Roar Sect.

”The Human Emperor Realm is the domain of the Human Race. How could we allow other races to run rampant!” Li Qiye said nonchalantly. ”The Tiger Emperor City pledging allegiance to the Ancient Netherworld was a death wish. It was ultimately destroyed by the Human Race’s Elder Sages and True Gods, sinking beneath the earth ever since. Eons passed, and this land’s Creation transformed it into the White Tiger Earth Vein. Only then did the Tiger Roar Sect come to be.”

Chi Xiaodie and the others were stunned for a moment after hearing Li Qiye’s words. They never would have thought that the Tiger Roar Sect was actually built upon the legacy of another behemoth!

”How do you know there’s a Tiger Emperor City under here?” Chen Baojiao couldn’t help but ask.

”This is what I’ve told you before. You need to read more. The more you read, the more you know,” Li Qiye said with a smile, gently tapping Chen Baojiao on the head.

Chen Baojiao shot him an annoyed glare. She didn’t believe that for a second. ’I knew he’d say that! Even though I knew asking was pointless, I still hoped for a different answer!’

”This land is about to change masters,” Li Qiye said with a grin. He then shook his head. ”It’s not easy to build an Immortal foundation. Out of respect for their ancestor’s hard work, I was originally going to let them keep the great Creation of their Earth Vein. Unfortunately, the Tiger Roar Sect is blind. They really thought they had me in the bag! This is them courting their own death.”

Li Shuangyan and the others were speechless. The Tiger Roar Sect was doomed to a tragic fate. With their Earth Vein severed, even if they survived, the sect would inevitably decline in the future.

Finally, Li Qiye took out a Dao Bone. It was Little Confusion’s Dao Bone. Li Qiye was quite reluctant to part with it, but he eventually said slowly, ”Go. Whether you can obtain the Creation beneath this land again will depend on your own fortune. I hope that after thousands of years, you can rise up on this land once more!” After speaking, he threw the Dao Bone into the depths of the lake.

BOOM! In that instant, the earth trembled as if a great serpent was moving underground. The cry of a dragon and the song of a phoenix rang out as the Dao Bone instantly burrowed deep into the earth!

Watching the Dao Bone disappear into the depths of the lake of Essence of Heaven and Earth, Li Qiye sighed softly in his heart. ’This place is a supreme treasure land. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the Elder Sages and True Gods seal this place back then.’

’However, whether Little Confusion can rise again in a heaven-defying manner will depend on its own Creation. Even if it manages to do so in the future, it might have already forgotten its past life.’

’In any case, this is a good thing for Little Confusion. At the very least, it’s a rare opportunity. If it can obtain this land’s Creation, it will surely be reborn!’

Li Qiye collected his thoughts. Looking at the Earth Vein Root in the coffin, he said to Chi Xiaodie and the others, ”Act as my Guardians. I’m going to refine this into a domain.”

Hearing his words, their hearts grew tense. With grave caution, they took up defensive positions, each guarding a different direction to protect Li Qiye.

Li Qiye took a deep breath. BOOM! As his Main Destiny Palace opened, his other Life Palaces instantly appeared, and all six arranged themselves in an instant.

Li Qiye circulated his Dao Foundation. The Kunpeng soared into the sky as chaos filled the air. Within the chaos, the six Life Palaces arranged themselves in a mysterious order. As they settled into place, they instantly propped open a new world. BOOM! In that moment, it was as if Li Qiye’s six Life Palaces were creating heaven and earth. They took form in the blink of an eye, supporting this new world like giant pillars!

Four Palaces Form Territory, Eight Palace Country Formation. Right now, Li Qiye possessed six Life Palaces, more than enough to open up a new world and refine it into his own Absolute Domain!

At this moment, Li Qiye’s six Life Palaces supported a vast territory. A long cry rang out as the Kunpeng, his Dao Foundation, flew into this new land. The Kunpeng flapped its wings, and chaos raged like wind and thunder. Suddenly, roiling chaos, like a torrential downpour, flooded the territory.

As the chaos fell upon the territory, it seemed to be nourishing the vast land, as if preparing a vast and fertile ground for the birth of countless future lives.

”Rise—” Following Li Qiye’s great shout, the unsealed Earth Vein Root was sucked into his domain. With a loud BOOM, the Earth Vein Root was instantly erected within the territory!

”Let me bestow life upon you!” Li Qiye shouted. His Main Destiny Palace rumbled open, and the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace appeared. The Tree of Life showered endless green light upon the territory. The Water of Life trickled into the land, and the Life Furnace poured out blazing embers, bringing hope to this new world.

Even more powerful was the Pillar of Life. It had undergone a great change after absorbing the ancient runes of the Void Gate. CLANG, CLANG, CLANG! The Pillar of Life shot out Order Divine Chains. In an instant, the Order Divine Chains constructed a supreme order for this territory. All living beings, all the Laws of life, would evolve and derive from the order established by Li Qiye’s will!

Li Qiye’s Pillar of Life was now incredibly powerful. It could directly establish a supreme order. Within the Chapter Order, his will could directly act as Sovereign over all things. This was simply incomparably domineering!

With the assistance of the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace, and under the Refinement of Li Qiye’s supreme order, the Earth Vein Root took root within his Absolute Domain. It began to emit billowing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, nourishing the new world. It seemed that once life was born, a nation could be founded and a National Capital established.

However, for Li Qiye’s boundless territory, even the billowing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi from the Earth Vein Root was far from enough—at least, not in the short term.

”Rise—” Li Qiye shouted. His Absolute Domain swept towards the lake of concentrated Essence of Heaven and Earth before him. A continuous roaring filled the air as his Absolute Domain began swallowing the essence from the lake like a whale devouring water!

For a moment, it was as if rivers were flowing backward. An endless torrent of Essence of Heaven and Earth was sucked into Li Qiye’s Absolute Domain. In the blink of an eye, his domain was suffused with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. As he absorbed more and more, the pervading essence grew increasingly dense!

While Li Qiye’s Absolute Domain was ceaselessly devouring the Essence of Heaven and Earth, his Dao Foundation, the Chaos Kunpeng, transformed into one Supreme Law after another. These Supreme Laws descended and intertwined around the Earth Vein Root. Streaks of law and order were branded onto it, refining it.

BUZZ! Li Qiye’s True Destiny stepped out of his Main Destiny Palace. The sound was very light, like the flutter of delicate wings stirring the air, and in the blink of an eye, the True Destiny stepped into the Absolute Domain.

PFFT— PFFT— PFFT— Sparks flew as Li Qiye’s True Destiny carved his Supreme Will into the Earth Vein Root, transforming that will into the root’s very core consciousness and connecting it to his Life Palaces. The Earth Vein Root rumbled as the link was forged. Li Qiye’s Supreme Will now directly controlled it, having become its new consciousness.

Once Li Qiye’s will became the Earth Vein Root’s core consciousness, it was as if he had bestowed sentience upon it—a sentience that was his own will!

At the same time, the Pillar of Life branded its supreme order onto the Earth Vein Root. The Life Furnace also began to refine the root with its blazing Fire of Life, forcing it to return to the truth and burn away all impurities. Not even the tiniest speck remained; under the Refinement of the blazing Fire of Life, everything impure turned into green smoke and dissipated...

「The day of the full moon was only a dozen or so days away, and the time passed in the blink of an eye.」

During these days, a great storm brewed in the East Hundred Cities. Undercurrents surged as various powers made their own plans.

Countless experts traveled to the Tiger Roar Sect. The sect had invited the various powers of the East Hundred Cities to witness the execution, but most were unwilling to get involved in such a messy affair. Even those who came to spectate did not enter the Tiger Roar Sect as guests, choosing instead to remain outside and watch from a safe distance.

Even more people with ulterior motives hid in the shadows, observing the developing situation and hoping to fish in troubled waters for their own gain.
