Dominator Emperor

”The Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country,” countless Old Undyings said, visibly moved as they watched the massive shadow.

”You alone are not enough!” The Domain God was invincible. The Primordial Furnace in his hand slammed down, blasting his opponent back in a single strike. The sight was so terrifying it would have scared anyone out of their wits!

”Domain God—!” At that exact moment, the faint shadow above the Tiger Roar Sect let out a furious roar before instantly shattering and vanishing.

The scene was utterly stunning. For a Dao Body to shatter and disappear so suddenly meant its true body had suffered a grievous injury and could no longer sustain it from afar.

Countless people were left dumbfounded by this display. At this moment, an invincible aura swept across the entire East Hundred Cities. Whether they were Great Sect Ancestors, legendary experts, or even Immortal Beings, their hearts all pounded in terror.

”Impossible... Impossible! Isn’t the Domain God rooted in the Ancestral Vein? How can he leave the Celestial Dao Academy?” At this, the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor’s face turned deathly pale.

At this moment, countless people, including the Great Sect Ancestors, were utterly stunned. Many knew that the Celestial Dao Academy’s Domain God had lived for far too long and was long on the verge of death. They believed he would never emerge unless the academy faced a disaster of annihilation. Furthermore, it was common knowledge that the Domain God was rooted in the Ancestral Vein. Being rooted in the Ancestral Vein meant it was impossible for him to leave the Celestial Dao Academy. Unless he no longer wished to live, he was destined to die of old age sooner or later.

And yet, today the Domain God had left the Celestial Dao Academy without a shred of hesitation, charging into the Yao Guang Ancient Country all by himself. What did this mean?

”How is this possible? Could the Domain God be living a new life?” An untold number of people felt their skin crawl. A chill shot down their spines as cold sweat drenched their bodies.

At this moment, countless people regretted their part in the siege against the Celestial Dao Academy back then. At the time, many believed the Domain God had lived too long and was finished. Having also gone berserk from demonic influence, he seemed certain to die.

This belief was especially reinforced when the Domain God failed to appear during the Celestial Dao Academy’s disaster of annihilation. It convinced everyone that he was truly finished and no longer had the power to emerge.

But now, not only did the Domain God show no signs of senility, he had brazenly left the Celestial Dao Academy to invade the Yao Guang Ancient Country alone. For the many who had once besieged the academy, this was not good news.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— The battle in the Yao Guang Ancient Country tore heaven and earth asunder. Endless Divine Light flooded the entire ancient country. At this moment, countless living beings within the Yao Guang Ancient Country were suppressed, forced to their knees, unable even to move.

”Activate the Emperor Foundation—!” The terrified voice of the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast echoed across the lands. Hearing this, many were so frightened their legs went weak. Without a doubt, the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast could hold on no longer.

As the light of an Immortal Emperor enveloped the entire Yao Guang Ancient Country, an Immortal Emperor seemed to be resurrected. An invincible Emperor’s Divine Force and Immortal Force swept across the world, its endless, torrential might engulfing the Domain God.

”Domain God, my Yao Guang Ancient Country has stood for ten thousand generations! Before the Emperor Foundation of our Twin Emperors, you are nothing!” The furious roar of the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast thundered ceaselessly.

”If your Immortal Emperors were still alive, I would give them a wide berth. A pity they are no longer in this world. An Emperor Foundation cannot trap me!” The Domain God’s voice was incomparably domineering. Wielding the Primordial Furnace in one giant hand, he tore open the sky and charged in alone without hesitation.

Such a battle horrified the entire East Hundred Cities. Immortal Emperor True Artifacts soared into the sky and Immortal Emperor’s Treasures slaughtered in all directions, but the Domain God was invincible. The Primordial Furnace in his hand sought to bring about the Refinement of the eight directions; not even an Immortal Emperor True Artifact could stop it.

This heaven-shaking battle, this display from the Domain God, shocked every living existence in the current era. Be they Great Sect Ancestors, legendary experts, or even Immortal Beings, they all trembled before his might.

The Domain God was an extremely ancient existence. Although legends once claimed he was invincible in his era, with rumors saying that while he guarded the Celestial Dao Academy, not even an Immortal Emperor could shake it, few had ever truly believed such tales. This was especially true because the Domain God had not acted in a very, very long time. Even those who knew of his existence believed he was finished, his Lifespan depleted and his Blood Qi withered.

Yet today, the Domain God had acted. His dominance was unparalleled as he steamrolled the Yao Guang Ancient Country, shocking the entire world. At this very moment, a chill ran down everyone’s spine, and they were drenched in cold sweat. The Celestial Dao Academy had been unshakable for millions of years, and this was no empty boast!

”I suppose it’s our turn now.” At the Tiger Roar Sect, even though they couldn’t see the battle at the Yao Guang Ancient Country, all the experts were shaken by the aura of absolute invincibility that seemed to span the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. As countless people finally snapped out of their daze, only Li Qiye remained, leisurely watching the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor.

The Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor’s expression changed drastically. For them, this was supposed to be a perfect kill-trap. The Dao Body of the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast had personally descended, and four Emperor’s Soldiers were in place to suppress their foes. Their plan was not only to capture Li Qiye but to catch the Seven Ancient Ancestors from the Celestial Dao Academy, who they expected to support him, all in one fell swoop.

However, Li Qiye had arrived, but the Seven Ancient Ancestors they had imagined did not. Terrifyingly, the Domain God had emerged instead! They had believed it was absolutely impossible for the Domain God to leave the Celestial Dao Academy, that he was rooted in the academy’s Ancestral Vein and could never appear in the world!

And yet, the Domain God who absolutely should not have been able to emerge had done just that, charging into the Yao Guang Ancient Country alone and sweeping through it. The Dao Body of Yao Guang’s Guardian Divine Beast hadn’t even had a chance to act before it vanished. To think that the Guardian Divine Beast’s true body was grievously wounded the moment the battle began—one could only imagine how terrifying this fight truly was.

The Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor’s face was pale. What was meant to be a perfect kill-trap had gone completely awry. He was, after all, a Great Sage who could command the wind and rain. Taking a deep breath, he steeled his heart and said coldly, ”It is still unknown who will emerge victorious!” His gaze fell upon the four Emperor’s Soldiers.

They had set this trap with the intention of suppressing the Seven Great Ancestors of the Celestial Dao Academy. With four Emperor’s Soldiers, they had laid out a deathtrap—a true Killing Array.

”With just you? Your Blood Qi is already depleted. Do you think you can control four Emperor’s Soldiers?” Li Qiye narrowed his eyes as he looked at the four Emperor’s Soldiers suppressing the area. He smiled. ”Fine by me. I happen to be in need of four handy weapons! Go on, make your move.”

At this point, Li Qiye had already set his sights on the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s four Emperor’s Soldiers. ’I already have the Profound Earth Turtle Staff. Paired with these four Emperor’s Soldiers, it would be a perfect match.’

”Rise—!” In an instant, the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor vanished from the horizon and reappeared on a mountain peak. That place was the control hub for the entire Absolute Killing Array. Instantly, the Elder Ancestor poured all of his Blood Qi into the hub to activate the four Emperor’s Soldiers. In that moment, the four weapons unleashed an overwhelming Emperor’s Force and Immortal Power!

HUMMM— Just as the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor was about to use the Absolute Killing Array of the four Emperor’s Soldiers to kill Li Qiye, the four weapons suddenly trembled and tore open the Void!

”Not good—!” Li Qiye’s expression changed drastically. He wanted to intervene, but it was too late. In a flash, the four Emperor’s Soldiers tore through the Void and vanished.

BOOM! At that moment, a tremendous explosion rang out. In the distance, the Celestial Vault above the Yao Guang Ancient Country was blasted into a black hole. At the same time, waves of Immortal Sound, like an Immortal Emperor preaching the scriptures, echoed from the ancient country.

”So fast! I didn’t expect the Yao Guang Ancient Country to fold so quickly and use its trump card!” Li Qiye was instantly filled with regret. He never thought the Yao Guang Ancient Country would be unable to hold on and would be forced to play its ultimate move, instantly recalling the four Emperor’s Soldiers that were deployed at the Tiger Roar Sect!

’I should have known to strike first!’ Li Qiye was kicking himself. He should have used his own trump card right from the start to seize the four Immortal Emperor’s Weapons. Now, the duck that was almost in his mouth had flown away.

At this moment, it wasn’t just the people of the Tiger Roar Sect; many across the entire East Hundred Cities paled. No one had expected that under the Domain God’s assault, the Yao Guang Ancient Country would be unable to hold on for so long and would be forced to use its ultimate trump card, its Emperor Essence!

Back at the Tiger Roar Sect, the Elder Ancestor’s face was ashen. His greatest weapon was gone in a flash. The four Immortal Emperor’s Weapons had just flown away. It was as if his cries to the heavens and earth for help were met with utter silence.

”Let’s end this little war,” Li Qiye said, his mood soured by the departure of the four Immortal Emperor’s Weapons. He no longer wanted to waste any more time. He intended to end this quickly so he could rush to the Yao Guang Ancient Country and seize its Creation. ”If you have any other tricks, use them now. This is your last chance. Otherwise, I will enact Refinement upon this entire land!”

The Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor’s face was livid. Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, he snarled, ”You little beast, let’s take each other down! Open the Evil Tombs!”

As his words fell, the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor spat out all of his remaining Longevity Blood onto the four Evil Tombs in the deepest part of the Tiger Roar Sect’s Ancestral Land. In an instant, the four Evil Tombs took on an eerie glow.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— The Tiger Roar Sect was rocked by violent tremors, as if the entire sect was about to be torn apart.

GRIND—GRIND—GRIND— A series of heavy, grinding sounds echoed as the tombs opened. A monstrous, deathly aura surged forth, instantly turning the entire Tiger Roar Sect into what seemed like Hell’s own Yin Mansion, a sight that made one’s skin crawl.

At that moment, the four Evil Tombs opened. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! A series of great rumbles hammered the earth as four immensely tall shadows emerged from within, like four Death Gods stepping out of their graves!

An overwhelming deathly aura and billowing Ghost Qi instantly filled the Tiger Roar Sect with a frigid chill. The four towering shadows stood within the sect’s grounds, seemingly about to transform the entire area into a Ghost Realm.

”The legendary Four Symbols Evil Tombs!” Many spectators outside the Tiger Roar Sect shivered at the sight. The four colossal shadows stood within the sect like four Death Gods, a truly terrifying spectacle that made one’s blood run cold.

White Tiger, Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu. The four giant shadows crouched there like four Divine Beasts, their hollow eyes chilling all who saw them to the bone.

”The Four Symbols Evil Tombs... Legend says they are ancient beyond measure. They were later forged through sacrificial refinement by the Tiger Roar Sect’s Primordial Ancestor, the Tiger God, to become the sect’s ancestral foundation!” Seeing these four immense shadows, countless people outside the Tiger Roar Sect felt their blood run cold.
