Emperor’s Domination

“But Bear Immortal has not appeared for a long time. Did Dark Realm or The Fallen Ten do anything to him?” An expert said softly.

“Impossible, who can hurt the great immortal?” One cultivator shook her head.

“Don’t forget, Devouring was once the greatest alliance, they killed so many immortals. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.” The expert said.

“Once again, watch your words.” The city lord said again. However, he still added: “Don’t worry, rumor has it Bear Immortal has the potential to become a primordial immortal. He has strong ties beyond our imagination and a legendary item that can keep him safe.”

He paused for a moment, still aware that Devouring Alliance was the strongest in Stygian.

“Moreover, the mountain is still there, this shows that he is fine.” He continued, perhaps praying for the immortal or just consoling himself.

The future was uncertain for insects like themselves in Stygian. They could only pray for protection, and at the very least, they could survive in Golden Lamp as opposed to other regions.

“I hope the heaven will answer our prayers and protect the light of the dao heart so that our bloodlines may continue.” Some cultivators started to kneel in a particular direction.

Everyone on the ship joined in. As long as the light burned strong, they would be protected from the immortals of Devouring Alliance. These immortals couldn’t bear the judgment of the dao heart; it would crush their heart devil.

“The primordial tree and the fairy’s dao heart will help us, Golden Lamp will persevere forever.” One expert said.

“Persevere.” The others prayed sincerely.

Li Qiye smiled while glancing in that direction.

Thunder was a major kingdom in Golden Lamp, founded by Thunder Emperor. It had a sizable territory and provided peace to its citizens.

However, it was tiny compared to other places in Heavenrealm. A single kingdom in the major worlds was comparable to a minor world, strong enough to produce immortals.

Thunder, on the other hand, only had an emperor. Of course, it also had a backer, Blaze.

“State your name!” Living in Stygian meant always being on a state of high alert.

Thus, once the ship came close, it was immediately spotted by the patrols.

“The young and old of Tinyleaf seek Thunder Emperor’s protection. Please help us.” The city lord stopped the ship and said.

“Tinyleaf.” A big shot from Thunder pondered momentarily before replying: “Wait here, I will report this to Her Majesty.”

“Buzz.” A while later, an imperial aura erupted within the city.

A figure rose into the air, accompanied by wondrous phenomena like a phoenix spreading its wings.

Her aura also engulfed the ship as she boarded.

“Your Majesty.” The city lord and everyone else kneeled before the beauty dressed in golden phoenix armor. She possessed both a feminine grace and a heroic presence.

She held a lightning spear, always ready for battle. Lightning coursed through the metal frame; thunder occasionally detonated.

Her golden hair cascaded down her shoulders and back. She had an aquiline nose and deep sapphire eyes. She was one of the few emperors in Golden Lamp, rumored to have a phoenix bloodline. Chapters first released on novel(ꜰ)ire.net

While everyone had their knees touching the ground, Li Qiye remained standing. The city lord panicked and tugged his sleeve.

However, he still didn’t move, adding to the lord’s anxiety.

She naturally noticed him and found it strange that a mortal was not affected by her imperial aura.

“Rise.” Her voice was pleasant but had a strange tingling effect on listeners, like being shocked by a weak current: “Why did everyone evacuate?”
