Emperor’s Domination

As they delved deeper into the continent, they saw other cultivators and many big shots.

The majority chose to fly, either through regular flying or with swords. Some preferred traveling with more fanfare, using mobile islands or palaces.

”Look, that must be Ruyi Monarch.” Princess Chen pointed at the sky. [1]

They saw a chariot with a magnificent light illuminating the region. This light was due to the embedded treasures - rare pearls and jewels. Some were found deep under the ocean or glaciers...

Their gathering turned the chariot into an unbreakable fortress. A middle-aged man sat inside who clearly paid special attention to his attire. His robe was sewed with immaculate details. He seemed to enjoy all the luxury and wealth in this world while holding a ruyi scepter made of jade.

The scepter was free from imperfection - a peerless treasure refined through cultivation. His long, slender fingers wrapping around it seemed to be a perfect combination.

He had a faint smile on his face, exuding the charisma of nobility.

”The successor of Devil Cult.” Li Xian said.

”Hmph, little pretty boy, looks like he wants a beating sitting there so ostentatiously.” The monarch said with disdain.

”Well, he is rich.” Orchidcore said: ”He was a king before joining Devil Cult under the tutelage of an emperor. He has a talent for cultivation and administration, Devil Cult prospered under him so the ancestors there view him in high regard.”

”Both are pseudo-emperors but Senior Coldblade is much more humble.” Princess Chen said.

”Just difference in their path, one pursues the dao while the other pursues nobility.” Monk Zhu said.

”If that’s the case, Senior Coldblade is not inferior to him or Skyraiser Crown Prince. In fact, her background and status are greater. They belong to tributaries of Trinity and Seventy-two Skyraiser Sect while she is from God Frontier itself.” The princess said.

”God Frontier is indeed stronger than Devil Cult or Skyraiser Dynasty, so her status is stronger.” Orchidcore mused: ”Evilsurge Emperor is not qualified to be spoken in the same breath as Far-dao and Tenacious.”

”They’re not on the same level at all. Far-dao is equal to Seventy-two Origin Ancestor.” Princess Chen said.

”No, the current origin ancestor is no match for Far-dao after having been taken down by Supreme Black Ancestor.” Mu Hu remarked.

”Was he really beaten?” Princess Chen asked.

Mu Hu nodded confidently.

”From what I know, the ancestor was undergoing extinguishment to become an overlord.” Orchidcore continued.

”It’s not that easy.” Monk Zhu said: ”But he was one of the strongest primal ancestors in Old World. However, he’s been stuck in the indestructible realm ever since the defeat.”

”The ancestor was fierce back then, killing many members of the other side.” The princess said.

”Indeed, he played a part in our Ancestor Xianting’s death.” Mu Hu said.

”The first disciple of Desolate Ancestor, rumored to be more talented than North Kun God.” Li Xian said.

”Yes, that’s the one.” Mu Hu nodded.

”He was the number one genius, having commanded armies to attack Supreme Heaven.” Li Xian heard of his legends before.

”Yes, Ancestor Xianting could have become an overlord.” Mu Hu said.

”Why did Supreme Black Ancestor spare one of the culprits? It must not have been difficult for him to kill the origin ancestor, not to mention the latter being a loyal supporter of Moshi.” Princess Chen said.

”I heard that Seventy-two Origin Ancestor might be his friend’s descendant, but this is just unclear.” Mu Hu said.

”Sigh, don’t make it sound so mysterious. He’s the son of the three-eyed couple. They didn’t take good care of him so they felt guilty.” Black Witch Monarch said.

”You know more about this?” Princess Chen asked.

”Desolate Ancestor killed God Eye Progenitor but the three-eyed couple still supported her. This caused quite a stir in their system. Later on, they also died in battle and left behind a child. Because they sided with the enemies, the child was banished.” The monarch elaborated: ”Few are aware of this past. The brat wandered about and somehow met Moshi and was taught by him. His cultivation soared to reach the primal ancestor level. Because of this, he always supported Moshi and Supreme Heaven.”

The monarch paused for a moment before continuing: ”Later on, this brat led a group to ambush Xianting. The flames became too strong and they somehow killed him. This infuriated Desolate Frontier and Life and Death Heaven. Supreme Black Ancestor personally took action and brought him down from the extinguish path to the indestructible level.”

”Supreme Black Ancestor didn’t kill him.” Li Xian murmured.

”He actually saved him. The three-eyed couples had ties with the older generation, not their kid. Nevertheless, he did it to spare the kid from certain death because Desolate Ancestor would have not shown the same mercy. Although vengeance was inadequate, it served as a warning to everyone else.” The monarch said.

”Right, a supreme overlord had complete control in that situation.” The princess said.

”The brat was lucky to have the couple as his parents. Otherwise, Desolate Ancestor could have destroyed the entire system, not just the progenitor.” The monarch laughed.
