Emperor’s Domination

Li Qiye took out the lamp-like tube given to him by the skull. His glance shifted between the item and the ceiling, prompting a faint smile.

High Priest Mu carefully examined the tube but didn’t find anything special. Li Qiye floated upward and placed the tube on the insignia, slowly rotating it in a strange pattern.

The rotation changed direction inconsistently with varying speed. The tube gradually fused with the insignia, changing the time and space in the vicinity.

As everything melted, the tube explored a different dimension and world. One-third of it was inside now and Li Qiye stopped.

The melting paused and the tube became one with the ceiling tile. He pulled down and the tile came off with the tube. The insignia could be seen fully now.

He started spinning again and the insignia melted once more. There seemed to be numerous tiny tentacles crawling into the tube despite a lack of physical opening.

Half of the tube was taken over by the insignia while the bottom remained the same. The overlord nearby couldn’t understand it since this was at the immortal level.

Li Qiye traced his finger on the surface and activated its unique light. This was not a primordial light but something unprecedented. If it were to reach the mortal world, it would change everything dramatically.

“Still missing the core.” Li Qiye said.

“Only something like this can store it.” High Priest Mu speculated after hearing him.

“Yes, this is essential. Otherwise, knowing the location is useless.” Li Qiye nodded: “Well, I got what I wanted.”

“Would you like to rest a while? I’m sure you won’t be returning afterward.” He invited.

Li Qiye smiled and agreed to rest in this serene realm.

Meanwhile, a particular event rocked Heaven World.

Runic mantras appeared within Celestial City and illuminated the whole world. Each represented a will and a command.

“What is going on?” Not to mention regular cultivators, even overlords were shocked by this unprecedented event.

Celestial was home to Xian Chengtian, the strongest overlord of their world.

“Zhan Sansheng’s fourth life blossoms at the primordial tree.” Cultivators read the message and were shocked.

“Another? Each life is stronger than the previous.” One primal ancestor became emotional.

“Such an incredible immortal.” Another whispered with respect.

“In a sense, he had never died.” A heaven-slayer said.

“The primordial tree, is this true??” Those from Life-and-death Heaven were affected the most.

“The burning was a failure, how is his rebirth happening there?” All the big shots couldn’t believe it.

“We must report this to the lord.” They said.

“If this is true, we must humbly ask Desolate Ancestor to return.” Another took a deep breath.

“Why is this news coming from Xian Chengtian and not Supreme Heaven?” Some found this puzzling.

Was Xian Chengtian meddling in someone else’s affair?

Supreme Heaven’s members didn’t understand either. None of them knew Zhan Sansheng’s location.

“Will Desolate Ancestor and Life-and-death Heaven permit this?” This became the next question on everyone’s mind.
