Emperor’s Domination

“What is this…” Alch-deer and Huntblade’s face soured.

“No one else is in Star Ocean, right?” Alch-deer asked.

“No.” Huntblade said: “Only Solar Monarch. Absolute Ancestor is somewhere else, Ancestor North Kun is in isolated training.” 

From the strand of aura felt earlier, there must be something monstrous in Star Ocean. This was enough to draw Li Qiye’s interest.

He took a dimensional leap and entered Star Ocean.

When Huntblade and Alch-deer returned, they didn’t see Li Qiye.

“Where is the ancestor?” They asked.

The juniors pointed at the sky.

“Sigh, we missed it then, should have followed him to take a look.” Alch-deer angrily stomped the ground.

“You can do it later.” Huntblade said.

“Gonna take a long time when I have just one dao fruit.” Alch-deer complained.

The mysterious prison was available for all disciples provided them being strong enough. Huntblade and Alch-deer were far from it and would only become food to the strongest beasts in Three Immortals.

Just like its name, Star Ocean was massive with many floating peaks. Star floated around them, a testament to their size.

It appeared boundless even to the most discerning gaze. An unknown visitor would never think of it as a prison for colossal beasts.

Of course, upon closer inspection during dusk or night, they would see the outline of many eyes. If they were to open, they would unleash terrible explosions.

These were the mightiest creatures including tiger god, hawk devil, and many others… Some were at the divine level.

Although they couldn’t leave the prison, it was vast enough for them to live freely. The initial wars brought peace; they eventually divided the prison into regions.

At this time, someone was dragging the corpse of a golden dragon. However, it still had more evolving to do since its head was still the shape of a serpent. Once this took the shape of a dragon head, it would be a true golden dragon.

Nevertheless, it would have no trouble devouring emperors and desolate gods. It was considered a king here, feared by the other creatures.

However, it was killed by someone; its head smashed to a pulp. The killer dragging its corpse was an old man wearing a strange black robe. His hat was particularly weird, looking like an upside-down hook.

He had no issue dragging this dragon away despite its size. He took it to the highest peak and hung it up there. Stars only made it to the ridge but the dragon’s tail touched the base.

He took out a sharp knife and disemboweled the dragon. Everything was precious and shiny, whether it be the scales or blood.

Monsters hiding in the shadow salivated while looking at this corpse. Unfortunately, no one dared to make a move. They witnessed the old man killing it in just three moves.

He didn’t care for the other parts and only took the liver.

“Hiding here out of all places?” Someone spoke to him, causing him to jolt in astonishment.

He looked back and saw Li Qiye.

“You nearly scared me to death, Young Noble, I thought it was a ghost.” He patted his chest and said.

“You, scared?” Li Qiye said.

“Haha, others can’t scare me to death but you can.” The man took out a jade bench for Li Qiye to sit down.

“Young Noble, you came just in time, we’ll be feasting on dragon liver and roasted dragon spine.” He was none other than Black Witch Monarch. 

“Did you go help collect Jiang Ba’s corpse or here to sneak some meals?” Li Qiye sat down and asked.

“Haha, I visited to see if I can help out but Desolate Ancestor’s descendants are rather capable, they didn’t need my help. Since I was already here, I thought I hadn’t eaten anything good in a long time so I spent a few days here. The dragon finally came out so it was the perfect time to have some liver.” The man laughed and said.

The monsters listening in the shadows became afraid. They were feared by all yet were treated as meals by this man.

As he roared the liver, he salivated and said: “Young Noble, you will see how good of a cook I am soon.” 

“This is why you’re staying here?” Li Qiye stared at the wannabe chef and said.
