Emperor’s Domination

They saw Li Qiye being engulfed in the tribulation flames. Only Black Witch Monarch remained calm and successfully consoled them.

Their fear came from the might of the tribulation flames; it had killed Bodhi Ancestor before. How did Li Qiye survive and most importantly, be completely unharmed?

As they stood in a daze, two supreme beauties landed behind Li Qiye. Their appearance and aura stole the scene.

“An-ancestor!” Li Xian shuddered after seeing one of them and prostrated immediately. He was shocked to be in the presence of his clan’s progenitor.

The other youths were shaken to see Li Xuansu - a being above primal ancestors. They got on their knees even though she didn’t exude any pressure.

Seeing her was surprising enough. Bronze-blade took a look at the other woman and due to his experience, he recognized her.

“Violet Dragon Empress.” He took a deep breath and said her title.

The youths became startled while Li Xian blurted: “What?!”

Their neighbor, True Dragon Court, was eradicated by Zhan Sansheng. However, there was a survivor here right now.

Bronze-blade and Coldblade bowed deeply to show respect to these influential figures.

“Where’s the old man and the girl?” Li Qiye slightly frowned after not seeing Black Witch Monarch and the girl.

“He got busy.” Princess Chen said.

“Oh?” Li Qiye said.

“Everlasting Jiang and Fardao sparred to learn the dao, a tribulation descended and killed them both.” Bronze-blade elaborated.

“He ran for their corpses.” Princess Chen clarified, clearly not happy with the despicable old man.

Li Qiye couldn’t help but chuckle before asking: “And the girl?”

“Ancestor Jiang is dead so the ancestor returned to Desolate Frontier.” Mu Hu bowed and said.

“Fighting to start a dao.” Li Qiye glanced at the horizon and said: “Truly difficult but someone has to do it.”

“Young Noble, I must return to the sect and can’t follow you after the ancestor’s passing. If I can ever be useful in the future, just say the words and my life is yours.” Coldblade bowed respectfully.

God Frontier had just lost its founder, Fardao. As a key member, she must return to the sect regardless of her location. Although she wanted to follow and serve Li Qiye, this was not the time.

“Go.” Li Qiye waved gently.

Coldblade bowed one more time before rushing back to God Frontier.

“Fardao and Everlasting Jiang are both dead, who will finish the path now?” Violet Dragon said sentimentally.

The juniors didn’t dare to speak in the presence of these masters.

“They started the everlasting and accelerated the desolate god path, both were incredible pioneers.” Li Xuansu said.

“A path, founded, will still need to be walked. The breakthrough has to be carried out, not just existing in theory.” Li Qiye said.

The group respected Fardao and Everlasting Jiang for their sacrifices. Sure, they did it for themselves but still contributed magnificently.

“Our dao is long and arduous.” Violet Dragon Empress had chosen the everlasting path and understood how difficult it was.

“There is a realm above for this path. Who will be the first to break through?” Li Xuansu said.

“More than talent is required.” Violet Dragon said.

“You can try.” Li Qiye smiled at her.

“You think too highly of me, Young Noble.” She said: “My talent and power can’t compare to Everlasting Jiang.”

“Before, yes, not even close. Now, you have a chance despite the low probability due to the difficulty.” Li Qiye said.

“Please elaborate, Young Noble.” She asked.

“Do not underestimate Long Dingtian’s pill and regalia. Their wild power was not yours to control but you did break through the limit of your cultivation for a prolonged period. You no longer have this power now and your cultivation is stagnated, but the two treasures still left behind an indelible impression. This will be useful as you try to reach it the right way, the sensation will resurface.” Li Qiye said.

Violet Dragon pondered and agreed. She bowed and said: “Thank you for enlightening me, I will meditate later in preparation for that day, if it ever comes.”

“It depends on your comprehension and dao heart. Persevere and it’s only a matter of time.” Li Qiye nodded.

“I won’t forget, Young Noble.” She said.

“I should meditate also.” Li Xiansu said: “My cultivation is damaged and fixing it will take a long time. Another breakthrough attempt might never come.”

“Hard, yes, but not impossible. Perhaps with your improved foundation this time around, you will be able to surpass your peers.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I appreciate the kind wish, Sir.” Li Xuansu bowed deeply.
