Dominator Emperor

”KILL—” a disciple from the Tiger Roar Sect bellowed. Instantly, several thousand disciples charged out, their momentum overwhelming. They moved like a vast army with a fierce, valiant aura. The fact that the Tiger Roar Sect had stood strong until this day proved their reputation was well-earned.

”Fall back!” the Tiger Roar Sect Master bellowed, immediately recalling the disciples who had just charged out. He knew that sending more ordinary disciples would only be sending them to their deaths.

”CLANG—” However, before the thousands of Tiger Roar Sect disciples could retreat, a sword hummed to the Nine Heavens and a saber swept the Eight Desolations. The Six Paths Yin Yang Sword Formation flew from Li Shuangyan’s hands. The incomparably vast Sword Array instantly descended to kill. Myriad Sword Radiances descended like a meat grinder, and in a flash, blood sprayed and flesh flew within the array.

The Overlord Immortal Saber swept across the sky. Mountains were sliced apart like blades of grass and sent flying. The single slash carried an invincible air. As the saber swept through, blood erupted like fountains, shooting high into the air and forming crimson waves.

A slaughter swept through the land. Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao carved a path for Li Qiye, their powerful and invincible might pushing them instantly into the Tiger Roar Sect’s ancestral Sect Territory. Blood flowed like a river, and corpses piled up like mountains.

This domineering slaughter caused countless spectators to gasp. Against such overwhelming power, even an Ancient Saint would likely be throwing their life away!

”How utterly domineering!” Anyone who witnessed this felt a chill in their heart, shivering as they spoke.

The Tiger Roar Sect Master’s expression was beyond grim. He hadn’t even had time to intervene. In that instant, he was so enraged that he coughed up blood. For him, those thousands of disciples were the very foundation of the Tiger Roar Sect, and they had been slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

The Tiger Roar Sect Master was driven mad with rage and was about to activate the Grand Array, but the voice of the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor echoed from behind him. ”Let them in!” he said in a heavy tone.

In the blink of an eye, no one dared to block Li Qiye and his two companions. They pushed forward unimpeded, stepping into the very core of the Tiger Roar Sect’s territory in an instant.

When Li Qiye stepped into the Tiger Roar Sect’s ambush range, everyone within the sect breathed a collective sigh of relief. He had walked right into their trap. As long as Li Qiye dared to enter, he would never leave!

At this moment, countless people outside the Tiger Roar Sect held their breath, their eyes glued to the scene before them.

”You refused the open road to heaven and instead came barging through the gates of Hell! You little bastard, today is the day you die!” The Tiger Roar Sect Master, who hated Li Qiye to his very core, snarled through gritted teeth.

Li Qiye glanced at him, completely unruffled. He drawled lazily, ”Heaven, Hell—it makes no difference. I come when I please, and I leave when I please. Who could possibly stop me?”

”What arrogance!” a deep, cold voice resounded. The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor slowly stepped forward. The forty-nine Divine Rings around his body gradually unfurled, like forty-nine Great Daos pressing down on the world, suffocating all who were present.

The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor’s gaze was like a bolt of lightning, sharp enough to pierce through anything. He stared coldly at Li Qiye and his companions. ”Since you are here,” he said frigidly, ”don’t even dream of escaping!”

”You’re mistaken. I have no intention of escaping,” Li Qiye said with a calm smile. ”I’m going to obliterate this place before I leave!”

”Still spouting nonsense when you’re at death’s door.” The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor’s eyes grew terrifying. He said grimly, ”Surrender now, and I’ll grant you a swift death! Just hand over the Immortal Emperor’s Treasure, the Immortal Body Technique, and your other Ultimate Skills, and I can make your deaths painless. Otherwise, I will make you experience a fate worse than death!”

Li Qiye slowly looked at the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor, then smiled and shook his head. ”Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, feel free to use them. But before I act, allow me to offer your Tiger Roar Sect some kind and friendly advice: evacuate your old, young, infirm, and weak. That way, you’ll at least leave some descendants behind. Otherwise, when this land is shattered, their cries to heaven will go unanswered, and their pleas to the earth will be ignored.”

”HA, HA, HA...” The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor burst into wild laughter. The many Elder Guardians of the Tiger Roar Sect present also roared with laughter, as if this were the most hilarious joke they had ever heard.

Lightning seemed to flash in the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor’s cold eyes as he sneered, ”You ignorant thing. Today, I will show you what a fate worse than death truly is! Kill the Chi Family’s boy!”

Immediately, the experts from the Tiger Roar Sect shoved Chi Xiaodao forward. Meanwhile, the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor moved to block Li Qiye’s path.

The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor smiled grimly. ”Just as you said, today your cries to heaven will go unanswered! First, we’ll execute the Chi Family’s boy, and then we will slowly kill those around you, one by one!”

Many of the Cultivators watching from outside the Tiger Roar Sect were stirred. By executing Chi Xiaodao right in front of Li Qiye’s group, the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor was clearly trying to crush their morale and intimidate them.

But Li Qiye didn’t seem anxious at all. He simply smiled leisurely and said, ”Go on then. What are you waiting for?”

Li Qiye’s attitude stunned the great figures of the Tiger Roar Sect, including the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor. They were about to execute Chi Xiaodao right in front of him, yet Li Qiye looked completely unfazed.

SHINK— Just as the Tiger Roar Sect’s upper echelon, the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor included, were momentarily stunned, a cold light flashed. Before the masters holding Chi Xiaodao could even react, their heads tumbled to the ground as blood sprayed from their necks.

The one who had struck was the very executioner meant to kill Chi Xiaodao. With a flash of his blade, heads rolled. Moving with unbelievable speed, he rescued Chi Xiaodao in an instant and brought him to Li Qiye’s side.

The turn of events was too fast for anyone to process. Even the Elder Guardians and the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor were dumbfounded. The executioner was one of their own disciples. When had he decided to betray the Tiger Roar Sect and rescue Chi Xiaodao at such a critical juncture?

Even the many Cultivators watching from a distance were stunned by the sudden twist. No one could believe it. Inside the Tiger Roar Sect’s own territory, at the most critical moment, their own executioner had betrayed them to save Chi Xiaodao. It was utterly unbelievable.

”Who are you?! How dare you betray the sect!” The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor trembled with rage. His perfect plan had been ruined by a traitor from within.

However, the executioner who had saved Chi Xiaodao shimmered and transformed, changing into a completely different person in the blink of an eye. He grinned and said, ”Who ever said I was a disciple of your Tiger Roar Sect?”

Who else could this person be but Sikong Toutian? He had infiltrated the Tiger Roar Sect long ago under Li Qiye’s orders. It was precisely because Sikong Toutian was already in place that Li Qiye had been so assured of victory!

”Kid, you owe me one now,” Sikong Toutian said to Chi Xiaodao with a wide grin.

”Alright, you all can go now,” Li Qiye instructed them after Chi Xiaodao was safe.

”You think you can leave?” The Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor was seething with hatred. His grand show had been utterly ruined. He spoke with grim menace, ”You have entered a Heaven and Earth Net. Even if you sprouted wings, you could not escape. Prepare to die!” As he spoke, he strode forward alone, his forty-nine Divine Rings flaring open, their pressure suffocating.

”You think you can stop me by yourself?” Li Qiye glanced at the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor with a smirk and said slowly, ”If this is the best the Tiger Roar Sect can do, then I’m truly disappointed.”

”Dealing with a Little Ghost like you is hardly a difficult task.” At that moment, another cold voice rang out.

BOOM! An old man took a single step forward, instantly blocking Li Qiye’s path of retreat. With that one step, the very heavens and earth seemed to tremble.

The old man was not particularly large, but he exuded an incomparably tyrannical aura, as if the power contained within his body could erupt at any second.

”The Old Imperial Tutor of the Nu Xian Sacred Country!” Upon seeing this old man, a Sect Leader from an older generation among the spectators outside cried out in alarm. ”Didn’t he retire into seclusion? How can he have appeared in the world again!”

”The Old Imperial Tutor of the Nu Xian Sacred Country... Legend says he is an incredible Saint Venerable, with a Great Success Dominating Saint Body!” Many in the East Hundred Cities had heard of this legendary figure, a famous expert from the Tough Dao Era.

”Rumor has it he had already stepped into the Saint Emperor Realm when he went into seclusion. When he achieved his Tyrant Saint Body, the Lion Roar Saint Emperor of the Lion Roar Country was just beginning to make a name for himself!” someone exclaimed, clearly stirred.

The Old Imperial Tutor of the Nu Xian Sacred Country... some said his Dao Practice was unfathomable. But what was even more frightening was that he had already achieved Great Success with his Tyrant Saint Body. This was one of the legendary Eighteen Holy Bodies; once one reached Great Success, its power was immense, a cause for fear for any expert.

Li Qiye glanced at the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor, then at the Old Imperial Tutor of the Nu Xian Sacred Country. He smiled leisurely and said, ”They’re just small-timers. Not even worth my effort.”

Li Qiye’s outrageously arrogant words left many people exchanging speechless glances. How could he be so conceited? These were Saint Venerables, one with a Great Perfection Holy Body!

But then, remembering Li Qiye’s path of slaughtering gods and butchering demons, many couldn’t help but feel that he had earned the right to be this arrogant.

”Take care of the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor first,” Li Qiye said, retracting his gaze as he gave the order to Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao.

Without a word, Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao stepped forward. One held the Six Paths Sword, the other the Overlord Immortal Saber. In an instant, their combined momentum was overwhelming.

”Insolent fools! Mayflies trying to shake a great tree!” Scorned so openly by Li Qiye, the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor trembled with rage. His expression darkened as his forty-nine Divine Rings flared open, unleashing the might of a Saint Venerable to crush Chen Baojiao and Li Shuangyan.

In that moment, Li Shuangyan was like a blooming Holy Lotus, radiating an incomparably sacred Immortal Light. In a flash, she passed straight through the crushing Dao Rings of the Hu Xiao Supreme Emperor.

Holy Light bathed the area. As Li Shuangyan advanced, she remained untouched by the Ten Thousand Techniques, and all the paths of the world gave way before her! This was Li Shuangyan’s Pure Body!
