Emperor’s Domination

“Someone else? Who am I going to find?” Calamities found this surprising.

“First, has to be stronger than you, and considerably stronger.” Li Qiye said.

“That’s difficult.” He shook his head.

He was an overlord and only a few in Three Immortals were stronger. Among overlords, Xian Chengtian, Weizhen, and Supreme Black Ancestor were stronger. Then the immortals were next.

However, why would anyone want this burden?

“Moreover, the probability of them dying is all but guaranteed.” Li Qiye said: “You would have died countless times if you weren’t Jiao Heng’s descendant. It wasn’t your strength that saved you, only your bloodline. After all, your initial cultivation couldn’t endure these tribulations.”

“Yes.” He scratched his head and thought about the beginning. The pain was excruciating and as he grew stronger, it became more bearable.

“This bloodline gave you both success and pain.” Li Qiye said: “Someone else would have been relieved with death, not a cultivation boost.”

“Then I’m truly doomed. There’s no way I can find a sucker who wants to experience agony and death.” He said with a bitter expression.

Those weaker than him might covet the tribulations to gain a boost in both power and cultivation. However, they would die during the process.

Those stronger than him wouldn’t have the same desire, especially when aware of the potential outcome.

“Nothing is absolute, there will always be poor suckers.” Li Qiye said.

“Who would willingly ask for this mess?” He disagreed since it was a losing proposition.

“Everyone values things differently. In your eyes, these tribulations only have this much value.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Bear the tribulations to strengthen one’s dao. Isn’t this the only thing it can do?” He asked.

“This shows your inadequate level.” Li Qiye said: “Thus, you can only use it this way. If you were stronger, there would be other uses such as slaying immortals.”

“Slaying immortals?” He became startled.

The tribulations were monstrous. However, he was only an overlord and couldn’t fully release the upper-level tribulations. Therefore, he could only threaten the immortals, not kill them.

“Mmm, it is possible, not to mention it can kill some big fish.” Li Qiye smiled.

“This knowledge doesn’t save me from my current dilemma.” He said.

“You are just that eager to get rid of it?” Li Qiye said.

“Yes, I don’t even care about being an overlord, I only want to be alive and free. Someone else can have this burden if they want to be stronger.” He said.

At first, he thought the overlord realm was something incredible. Few had the privilege of reaching this realm. However, once he became one, he found the price unacceptable and wanted a way out.

“Looks like you’re losing the will to live from the pain.” Li Qiye saw his bitter expression.

“Yes, you have to save me, Boss.” He begged.

“You truly want to get out?” Li Qiye asked.

“Absolutely.” He bowed: “Please, if there’s any way at all, this can’t be my life for eternity.”

He saw no end in sight. The fact that he maintained his sanity was a remarkable achievement.

“The method is there, also the sucker.” Li Qiye said.

“Where do I find this sucker?” He blurted.

“You don’t have to do anything, the sucker will come knocking.” Li Qiye smiled.

“This makes no sense.” He said. Only a madman would want to do something like this.

“Times have changed. There is a need for it now, and if used properly, it will be potent and effective.” Li Qiye said.

“Where is this sucker?” He asked.

“You have to convince the sucker that this is worth taking.” Li Qiye smiled.

“What must I do?” He asked.

“Come closer.” Li Qiye smiled.

He leaned in and Li Qiye whispered the instructions into his ear.
