Emperor’s Domination

The stone appeared ordinary at first glance but upon closer inspection, it resembled a bottomless abyss. Its true shape couldn’t be discerned since it devoured all nearby light.

Instead of looking like a gaping jaw, it was more of an endless prison. Not to mention overlords, perhaps even immortals couldn’t get out once trapped. Once its true nature was known, no one would dare to get close.

However, when attached to this youth, there was an open window in the form of his body, granting access to the prison within. Thus, a prison turned into a world.

Light still came in, illuminating the monstrous tribulation. A single one could kill a primal ancestor, supreme overlord, or even an immortal.

They seemed to be twisting together to form a humanoid shape. Alas, there were too many of them with varying affinities and types. Thus, the shape immediately collapsed despite the attempts.

Although the tribulations couldn’t escape the stone, they traveled through the man’s body and reached the outside world. This was akin to a prisoner able to see and reach their hand out of the window.

“Boss, this is perfect, you can suppress the tribulations.” The youth said excitedly.

“So what if I can suppress them?” Li Qiye sat down and said.

“Boss, please save me from these damned tribulations.” The youth kowtowed.

“If I take them away, you won’t be Calamities any longer.” Li Qiye said.

“Sigh, that’s fine, I still have my skills without them.” The youth shook his head repeatedly.

“You young ones are too greedy. Jiao Heng left a warning before, no?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Well… yes.” The youth looked embarrassed.

The feared overlord looked like a brat being yelled at by a senior, wanting to apologize.

“Then why did you still attach it?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Oh, well, I was curious, that’s all.” He smiled wryly.

“Jiao Heng left this as a threat, not for anyone to take.” Li Qiye said.

“Didn’t you leave a seal of command, Sir?” The youth smiled awkwardly.

Currently, everyone knew him as Calamities – a supreme overlord of Arrogance Enterprise.

However, when he first met Li Qiye, he was only a peddler trying to sell strange coupons such as life-saving coupons and escape coupons…

Of course, others didn’t know he was the successor of Arrogance Enterprise then, only as Liu Sanqiang. He was fortunate to spend time with Li Qiye.

“Did my seal tell you to put this curse on yourself?” Li Qiye said.

“It’s just that my dao was improving and I wanted to take a look. After all, no one had done so after the progenitor kept it hidden. I didn’t expect it to latch onto me.” He told the truth.

He was only close to breaking through but still had a long way to go before becoming an overlord. However, the stone changed everything and made him reach the next realm.

From the cultivation perspective, this was incredible since everyone wanted to reach this realm. Alas, there were only ten or so in the history of Three Immortals.

Unfortunately, this was also a disaster since the tribulations tortured him from within, always pushing against his true fate. Strangely enough, they couldn’t kill him and only made him stronger.

Nevertheless, the pain drove him mad. He was the most pitiful overlord given the circumstances. He endured the pain and controlled the tribulations all this time.

Thus, he wanted to beg Li Qiye to save him.

“Do you know what the core issue is here?” Li Qiye asked.

“What?” He asked.

“You have Jiao Heng’s bloodline.” Li Qiye smiled.

“What?!” He blurted out in astonishment.

Arrogance Enterprise was not based on bloodline and operated as a sect. Although Jiao Heng was the founder, his children didn’t take over subsequently.
