Emperor’s Domination

Alas, once they saw the transformation of Silence Peak and how the other emperors were serving him, their original thoughts wavered.

Given their stately anima power, they were far stronger than Tortoise Emperor who only had twelve dao fruits. However, Dragon-pill, Crimson Virtue, and Solar Monarch were stronger than them.

Ten-realm Emperor focused his gaze on Li Qiye but didn’t notice anything. The latter ignored the intrusive gazes, continuing to feast and drink.

“Ten-realm, what is the meaning behind this?” Crimson Virtue spoke. Although he didn’t release his imperial aura, he gave the impression of being an immovable boulder underwater. No waves could move him.

Albeit weaker, he had more authority and prestige in Desolate Frontier for several reasons. First, he was the official successor of the primary branch. Second, he was the oldest with numerous contributions to the sect.

“I should be asking you this question.” Ten-realm stared at the emperors.

“This looks bad.” A regular ancestor felt something ominous while listening.

The rift between the two major factions was no secret. There was also a neutral faction including Solar Monarch and Whale Ancestor.

However, it seemed Solar Monarch had picked a side. What about Whale Ancestor? That would make Desolate Ancestor’s branch far superior.

At this time, Alch-deer and Huntblade returned to the peak. Crimson Virtue stared at them, awaiting an answer.

“I only sent the message but Ancestor Ten-realm refused to acknowledge our ancestor.” Alch-deer shrugged, aware someone else would pick up the slack since he was too weak.

This sentiment was not surprising since Solar Monarch felt the same way before. Moreover, Ten-realm Emperor came from the Chen so he certainly didn’t like an ancient ancestor from the other branch.

“Ten-realm, the tribute is secondary. Come greet the ancestor.” Crimson Virtue waved at the opposing trio.

Listeners couldn’t help but stare at Li Qiye again. This ordinary youth enjoying his feast didn’t look like a supreme ancestor at all.

Such a being should be terrifying, at least a primal ancestor or heaven-slayer. However, his lack of cultivation and carefree demeanor didn’t match the descriptions.

“Any clue?” Desolate gods and emperors whispered among themselves.

“I wonder who he is.” One emperor became frustrated.

They believed such an ancestor should be a supreme overlord but this youth wasn’t one, at least appearance-wise.

Ten-realm’s eyes became resplendent and he gained three more faces, one gazing at a cardinal direction. He peered deeper into the past but this didn’t work.

“Tetra-realms.” A spectator whispered the name of this technique.

When he activated this technique, nothing could hide from him. He could even gaze into the past and see all secrets.

“Be respectful!” Crimson Virtue roared and released his anima power.

“Bam!” Ten-realm was forced to stop his technique to block the attack.

“Ten-realm, apologize to the ancestor.” Crimson Virtue demanded.

His tone made everyone know the gravity of the situation. Although he wasn’t muscular, he looked like a colossal god after activating his imperial aura.

Some members understood how disrespectful it was for a junior to peer into an ancestor’s secrets. Emperors might be unbeatable for regular people but a supreme ancestor could crush one like an insect. Ten-realm’s act warranted such a punishment.

“Apologize? Whose ancestor is he?” Ten-realm’s gaze shifted between Li Qiye and Crimson Virtue.

His attitude warranted death if the youth was an actual supreme ancestor. His being on the limit path meant nothing.

“Brother Ten-realm, mind your attitude.” Solar Monarch shook his head and warned.
