Emperor’s Domination

Her insult struck their deep-rooted insecurities. They never wanted to bring up the past since it was their heart devil.

“You are out of line, Desolate Ancestor.” Bao Pu said sternly. His voice alone could crush stars or kill cultivators dimensions away.

“And? A broken dao heart cannot be improved. I should kill you two, whether it be for past matters or the future.” She said.

“You don’t even dare to fight any longer.” She stepped forward and sure enough, they retreated.

They no longer had the courage or ambition to fight anyone stronger. The dao required fearlessness and determination. Now, they had nothing of courage, pride, or tenacity.

“Go!” They exchanged glances and made a move, leaving only shadows behind.

They traveled through hidden dimensions using unimaginable speed, choosing two different directions. They fled like stray dogs on the street, valuing life above all else.

She stepped forward once, slowly unsheathing her saber…

Meanwhile, everyone else still observed the main fight.

“What will you use, Sacred Teacher?” Taichu asked.

“If you are using the primordial, I can’t use it or it would be rather unfair.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I have no doubt you can wrest the primordial will from me, you are second to none when it comes to primordial mastery.” Taichu said.

“That is why I won’t use it.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Then you will be using the power of the dao heart? My master had nothing but praises for your dao heart.” Taichu’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

“No need, I’m saving it for your master.” Li Qiye said.

“I see, I am not enough for you to use it.” Taichu accepted this and laughed: “I will try to force your hand then.”

“There used to be inborn dao in this world, all forgotten. It is the limit of the mortal world, I will test it now.” Li Qiye said.

“Inborn?” Taichu pondered before responding: “You must be referring to the innate gifts of the divine beasts.”

“Yes, now is a good time to test them.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Master told me how we need to seize the fortunes of the world to build our dao. The divine beasts, on the other hand, just needed to build upon their innate gifts.” Taichu said.

“Right, that is all they need to do.” Li Qiye nodded.

“And you can derive their inborn gift using a mortal body?” Taichu was impressed because he couldn’t do it.

“Anything inborn is, more or less, related to the primordial. These inborn gifts are mere remnants of the earliest days.” Li Qiye said.

“I see, the same source.” Taichu murmured.

“I saw it at the end of the primordial and understood a little bit.” Li Qiye said.

“A little bit of yours must be near infinite. Please show me.” Taichu smiled.

“Come, show me your primordial mastery as well.” Li Qiye gestured.

“I hope it won’t let you down.” Taichu pulsed with a primordial light penetrating all worlds.

Taichu became the lord of this world. Even immortals had to lower their head before his brilliance.

As for Li Qiye, he simply assumed a strange pose. It looked like he was dancing – a simple movement contained countless stances. He didn’t emit any power or profound laws. It appeared to be an instinctive stance, akin to an ant crawling up a street, a snake slithering in the sand, or a fish swimming at the bottom of a lake…

The instinct appeared capable of blocking or dodging any attack.

“Interesting.” Taichu said before shouting: “Primordial Suppression!”

“Boom!” The primordial light all over the world condensed into a blinding circle before shooting forward at Li Qiye.
