Emperor’s Domination

The thirteenth peak looked like the highest place possible, infinitely close to the high heaven or even above.

Of course, the world didn’t know the true height of the high heaven. They just got the impression that nothing could be higher than this peak. Desolate Frontier looked tiny in comparison even though the peak was not grand in size.

The resources and supreme momentum, albeit vast and powerful, had to submit to this peak. Perhaps everything here was built with the thirteenth peak as the foundation. If it didn’t exist, neither would Desolate Frontier.

The true pillar of this place was not the endless worldly energy and supreme momentum but rather, the towering peak. Just staring in the direction of its summit required courage.

This was akin to being in the presence of an immortal. The great being might not forbid others from looking but they still felt too inferior to look up.

Now robed, he looked down at all of Desolate Frontier as the winds blew gently. Meanwhile, Driedtree’s battle with the tribulation raged on. The thirteenth peak was serene - a stark contrast to the explosions above.

Ten-realm continued to struggle but couldn’t break free from the invisible hand.

Li Qiye glanced at him and said: “Driedtree was right, you mistook stupidity for craftiness.”

Ten-realm was red with rage and embarrassment. A limit-path emperor such as himself was as helpless as a chicken, unable to put up a fight.

Others watched in silence, not daring to disturb the supreme ancestor. He looked like an immortal, reminding them of their golden age when the progenitor was still around.

They were the lord of Three Immortals then. All had to yield before their lineage. Now, this supreme ancestor gave them the same feeling.

“I, I have six Desolate Orders, the arbitration I proposed was by the rules of Desolate Frontier, everyone must obey the ancestral teachings...” Ten-realm mustered his strength to speak.

“The badges in your hand originated from Desolate Ancestor while I am her ancestor.” Li Qiye interrupted him.

The orders represented the progenitor’s will and must be obeyed. However, did this apply to her ancestor?

“What do you want?” Ten-realm’s confidence waned.

“There’s no chance I would spare you a second time.” Li Qiye said.

Everyone shuddered upon hearing this, realizing the finality of his words. This meant Ten-realm Emperor’s head would soon touch the ground; no one could save him.

“Death? Real men do not fear death, bring it.” Although he turned pale, he arched his chest forward and didn’t beg for mercy before his peers and other sect members.

“Killing you is not something I need to bother myself with.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Bam!” The invisible hand disappeared, giving Ten-realm control of his body again.

He looked around and saw Li Qiye sitting down on a grand chair. He shifted back and forth, seemingly trying to find a comfortable position to nap.

“Bam!” Absolute Ancestor landed in front of him.

“Your execution, for you have strayed on the wrong path.” She said while her sacred anima suppressed the grand dao nearby.

Ten-realm staggered backward, having the urge to run when death truly came knocking.

The invisible hand earlier robbed him of freedom and agency. Now, he had his power back and access to all his treasures. Thus, he could still fight but the logical choice was to run.

“Boom!” Absolute made her move and used her Heavenbreak Badge.

He mustered his dao and merit laws only for them to be crushed by the badge. Her sacred anima’s power trapped and knocked him to the ground.

“Activate!” He was on his knees despite his effort to stop her sacred anima.

She showed no mercy and crushed his imperial aura. He felt as if thousands of divine mountains were pushing down on him.

Meanwhile, sect members watched silently as he was on his knees, awaiting execution.
