Emperor’s Domination

“Not there.” The lord spoke and warned him but it was too late.

An all-encompassing void existed in the aftermath, engulfing the nine paragon powers. It became immeasurable so those within couldn’t see Li Qiye.

“Pop!” The void crushed the nine figures as if they were dust specks.

“Bam!” Nine-turns Sage leaped out of the void while vomiting blood.

Paragon appeared before everyone again. The nine realms were no longer there, only the lord and his unreachable domain.

“Your nine paragon powers aren’t easily used.” Li Qiye also appeared again. The whole exchange earlier felt like a dream.

Of course, the wounded sage knew it was no dream due to the agonizing pain.

“If the nine aren’t enough, I still have my high heaven paragon power.” The lord said.

“Oh, but you’re not above the high heaven. “Li Qiye stroked his chin.

“Brat, there is no end to my paragon dao, I have a hundred methods to crush you.” The lord trembled with rage.

“No end yet I can shatter it with a single thought, it is feeble before me.” Li Qiye waved dismissively.

“You’ve grown arrogant, brat, so different from the little shepherd back then...” The lord said.

“That’s all in the past, let’s live in the present, shall we, and out of this dream too.” Li Qiye said.

“This is no dream, it is my paragon domain, eternal and unbreakable.” The lord disagreed.

“I suppose I have to wake you up forcefully then.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Come.” The lord was furious and pulled up his sleeve, looking more like a brute than a dignified cultivator.

“I’ve been wanting to beat you up so this is the perfect opportunity.” Li Qiye rolled up his sleeves as well.

“Such an unfilial child!” The lord stomped the ground like an angry father.

“Let’s be honest, there’s nothing you can do to stop me.” Li Qiye smirked.

“You...” The lord pointed at him while stammering.

“Of course, I am very fair and will give you a chance to use your high heaven paragon.” Li Qiye continued.

“Have it your way, I will show you.” The lord said before asking the whole realm: “Who wants to be bestowed the high heaven paragon?”

The existences in Paragon looked up at him. This group consisted of emperors and primal ancestors who knew they weren’t as strong as Nine-turns, Skyraiser, and Eight-armed Immortal Child.

The three lost and nearly threw their lives away. Therefore, the rest didn’t wish to accept the blessing.

Victory was one thing, they also didn’t know whether they could tolerate the high heaven blessing. Nine-turns Sage was special enough to receive nine paragon blessings. They, on the other hand, might just explode.

Although this was a dream, death was still permanent.

“Looks like your high heaven blessing isn’t that cool, no one wants it. Sigh, change to something else, don’t be embarrassed again.” Li Qiye said.

“...” The lord nearly vomited blood from anger: “You pieces of trash! Not daring to accept the ultimate power, what’s the point of being here?”

The others still didn’t dare to accept.

“Trash!” He yelled at them again.

“If no one wants to do it, you should do it yourself. Show me the so-called high heaven paragon, immemorial paragon, whatever paragon.” Li Qiye said.

“Blustering before me now that your wings have grown.” He said.

“Not just bluster, I’ll beat you until you wake up.” Li Qiye said.

“Unfilial bastard, asshole, scoundrel...” He cursed repeatedly.

Li Qiye waited patiently until he was done before asking: “Tired yet?”

“None of your business.” The lord stopped and said: “Don’t you know you can’t do anything to me? I am one with the dream realm. As long as I am around, so will the dream.”

“I can just destroy you.” Li Qiye said.

“Do it then.” The lord arched his chest forward as if daring Li Qiye.
