Emperor’s Domination

This slaying was unprecedented in the mortal world. The previous immortal war, Nightwatch, had no casualties. The last slain immortal was Heavenly Sin during Heavenslay.

That war devastated Three Immortals, not to mention the chaos preventing the spread of information. It took a long time before people knew about Heavenly Sin’s death.

Today was a one-on-one situation with Desolate Ancestor slaying Bao Pu. Everything happened sequentially without chaos.

Although they couldn’t witness the details of the fight, they knew her blade destroyed the primordial waves. Her domination over Three Immortals became apparent and shattered everyone’s pride and arrogance.

“Bao Pu is dead.” People eventually calmed down and pondered the aftermath.

“Dead…” The ancient progenitors didn’t know how to feel.

Bao Pu was the founder of the progenitor path and guided everyone. In the end, he chose a broken path and ate a corpse for ascension. The disparity was too large and he lost the battle.

“A broken immortal, can’t compare to a true one.” A primal ancestor sighed.

“I don’t mind becoming a broken immortal.” Another said sentimentally.

Although the process was disgusting and gloryless, he was still an immortal.

“Will Desolate Ancestor become the strongest immortal?” A junior asked.

The young ones felt the same way as this was their first time seeing a fight of this level. Moreover, she was the founder of their path and occupied a special spot in their heart.

No one could answer this question, not even the overlords.

Only the immortals from the redemption grounds remained after Bao Pu’s death. However, they were primordial immortals.

“Primordial immortals are dreadful yet shackled.” Xian Chengtian murmured to himself: “The others include you all and Zhan Sansheng.”

Meanwhile, many thought about another immortal – Zhan Sansheng.

“He’s returning, right? Who would win in a duel?” A primal ancestor asked.

“I believe Desolate Ancestor will win in this era.” A peerless cultivator said softly.

The competition between Desolate Ancestor and Zhan Sansheng was unceasing. For the most part, Zhan Sansheng had the upper hand but was restrained by the three immortals and the four redemption grounds.

However, he suffered an unknown death and had to come back to life. Everyone knew another fight was inevitable. Perhaps he was no longer the clear favorite for the next.

“Bao Pu’s finally dead.” High Priest Mu said in a daze.

He knew more about Bao Pu and other secrets compared to others. Thus, watching the fight left him emotional. After all, he and others once fought together with Bao Pu.

“I suppose it’s not all bad, dying to Desolate Ancestor is fair.” He added.

“What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.

“Oh? What was off?” He asked.

“I have to go.” Li Qiye smiled and stretched instead of responding.

“Already?” He spoke while watching Li Qiye depart.

“Farewell, Young Noble, I wish you the best. I will be here and as long as I exist, so will this place.” He bowed deeply and swore with his true fate.

Li Qiye entered Uncrossable Expanse and reached Corpse Wasteland.

“What’s happening here?” The skull peeked out from a pouch.

“Not playing dead anymore?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Haha, was just taking a nap.” The skull laughed.

“Letting go is a type of rebirth.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I’m too old to throw a fuss with a young one.” The skull yawned.

“How dignified of you.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh before scanning the area.

This region contained numerous corpses that were wiped out in battle. However, there were still some unknown powers rippling.

“Was it that brat, Bao Pu? Are you sure?” The skull asked.

“Who is not important, but several were here.” Li Qiye smiled.

“It’s all just schemes and trickery, how boring.” The skull said with disdain.

“Schemes and trickery caused your boat to capsize.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Hey, a nice person doesn’t reveal others’ flaws or make them lose face.” The skull glared.

“Fine.” Li Qiye went along with it and said: “This isn’t anything respectable but no one can do anything about it outside of mumbling curses.”

“I don’t know how Big Eye’s group picked such a treacherous guy for their disciple. He can’t become an immortal, no matter how talented.” The skull said.
