Dominator Emperor

Heaven, Earth, Root! Three dao-runes born from the Treasure Gold, forming a sentence of True Words. The moment these three True Words appeared, they simply crushed all opposition.

If Li Shuangyan hadn’t been powerful enough, suppressing the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist with her absolute advantage as a Dao Marquis, he would have used these True Words to turn defeat into victory.

In truth, the Treasure Sword in Li Shuangyan’s hand was also incredible; it was a Great Sage Treasure Sword recently bestowed upon her by the Sun Demon Emperor! However, compared to the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s Great Sage Treasure, there was still a considerable gap in power!

”An incredible three-word True Word Treasure.” Li Qiye glanced at the battlefield and said calmly, ”Shuangyan, your Treasure Sword can’t break the ’Heaven and Earth Root’ True Words. Use the Celestial Disc!”

At Li Qiye’s command, Li Shuangyan no longer held back. Instantly, Holy Light erupted into the sky!

BOOM! With a tremendous roar, the sky was instantly replaced by a cosmos. All else faded into illusion as a Celestial Disc emerged, sovereign over all. As the disc tilted, it poured forth rivers of stars!

The Stellar Celestial Disc was an ancient treasure with an astonishing origin, having earned a glorious reputation during the ancient wars against the gods! Now, in Li Shuangyan’s hands, this ancient treasure finally unleashed its supreme Divine Power!

”Heaven and Earth Root!” The Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s expression changed the moment he saw the Stellar Celestial Disc. With a fierce cry, his Life Wheel rumbled and his Longevity Blood surged. He poured all his Blood Qi into his Great Sage Treasure and unleashed the three True Words. Instantly, they transformed into a boundless heaven and earth, like the dawn of primordial chaos!

BOOM! The cataclysmic explosion tore apart heaven and earth. Even the Laws manifesting within the Ancient City were obliterated. With a single strike, the Celestial Vault was shattered, transforming into a black hole.

Blood splattered across the sky as the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was blasted away. Even his Great Sage Treasure of the three True Words failed to protect him. His chest was pierced through, leaving a terrifying, bloody hole, as if his entire torso had been destroyed.

”Retreat!” After being sent flying, the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist gasped for breath and cried out. At this point, he couldn’t care about anything else. He dragged his dying body and immediately fled, not even caring if his physical body was destroyed in the process.

Li Shuangyan moved to give chase, but Li Qiye simply waved his hand and smiled. ”He can run, but he can’t hide.”

”Kill!” With Wansheng Jian dead, the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist in flight, and the remaining two elders slain on the spot, the disciples of the Holy Heaven Sect broke. Their will to fight shattered, they turned and fled. But how could the disciples of the Nine Saints Demon Gate pass up this opportunity? To not annihilate their enemies would be a betrayal of their fallen brothers. With morale soaring, they roared and counterattacked like a pack of wolves. They had paid for this chance with rivers of their own blood; they would not let a single disciple from the Holy Heaven Sect escape.

The air filled with the sounds of slaughter. In the end, very few disciples from the Holy Heaven Sect escaped alive. Blood stained the earth red as the disciples of the Nine Saints Demon Gate hunted their foes down, street after long street.

Witnessing this scene, all the powerful experts watching from the sidelines remained silent. The Nantian Country, the Jiangzuo Family, the Treasure Pillar Saint Sect... none of these mighty Great Teaching Territories dared to utter a single comment.

The conflict between the Nine Saints Demon Gate and the Holy Heaven Sect was already a war between titans. With the Qingxuan Ancient Country now involved, it didn’t matter how powerful an expert or Great Sect you were; no one dared to get drawn into such a war.

”Sweep the Holy Heaven Sect’s Grotto Heaven!” The moment the battle concluded, Li Qiye declared with a wave of his hand from atop the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle.

The moment Li Qiye’s words fell, not only Qu Daoli’s group but all the disciples of the Nine Saints Demon Gate felt their spirits soar and their blood boil. Following a command from Supreme Elder Chi Yun, the disciples charged like a tempest, sweeping ferociously toward the Holy Heaven Sect’s Grotto Heaven.

The Holy Heaven Sect also had a foothold in Celestial Ancient City, and their Grotto Heaven there was by no means inferior to that of the Nine Saints Demon Gate.

”KILL!” With a series of roars, the disciples of the Nine Saints Demon Gate descended like a pack of predators, storming the Holy Heaven Sect’s base and charging into their Grotto Heaven.

”Flee!” Seeing the ferocious disciples of the Nine Saints Demon Gate, the Holy Heaven Sect members guarding the Grotto Heaven lost all will to fight and immediately fled.

In the blink of an eye, the Nine Saints Demon Gate’s disciples had swept through the entire Grotto Heaven. Li Qiye and his companions hadn’t even needed to lift a finger. They had occupied the Holy Heaven Sect’s Grotto Heaven with ease.

In reality, both the Nine Saints Demon Gate and Li Qiye’s group found it empty. The fleeing Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist had not returned. Even the important figures from the Holy Heaven Sect who were stationed there had evacuated the Grotto Heaven the moment the battle was lost. They knew the Nine Saints Demon Gate would retaliate, so they had only left behind a few insignificant disciples as lookouts.

Despite finding it empty, it was still a moment of great joy for the disciples of the Nine Saints Demon Gate. They had been on the verge of defeat, yet they had successfully counterattacked and seized the Holy Heaven Sect’s Grotto Heaven. For the Nine Saints Demon Gate, today was a blessing in disguise.

Only Supreme Elder Chi Yun wore a solemn expression. Despite the great victory, there was no joy on his face. He knew that with the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s involvement, this would become an absolute catastrophe for the Nine Saints Demon Gate.

”The Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist and the Hall Masters of the Holy Heaven Sect have fled into the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven.” Soon, Li Qiye and the others received this report from the Nine Saints Demon Gate’s scouts.

”The Qingxuan Ancient Country!” Chi Yun’s expression darkened. He knew that the invasion of their Nine Saints Demon Gate must have had the support of the Qingxuan Ancient Country. He was filled with resentment, but no matter how furious he was, he could only suppress it. He understood that the current Nine Saints Demon Gate could not afford to provoke the Qingxuan Ancient Country.

”The Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven?” In contrast to Chi Yun, Li Qiye’s eyes narrowed into a smile. ”They should be thanking their lucky stars I haven’t gone to trample their Grotto Heaven flat yet, and now they dare to shelter my enemies. Fine. Today, I’ll see just how capable the Qingxuan Ancient Country really is! Let’s go. We’re heading to the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven!”

Chi Yun was startled. ”But... but that’s the Qingxuan Ancient Country!”

”So what if it’s the Qingxuan Ancient Country?” Li Qiye said with a calm, unhurried smile. ”If they provoke me, I’ll poke a hole through the Azure Heaven itself.”

Chi Yun’s heart pounded in his chest, terrified of this lawless young progenitor. The Qingxuan Ancient Country was a titan of the Middle Grand Realm; who could possibly afford to provoke it? Yet, from the way this young man spoke, it was as if they were just some insignificant Minor Sect. Chi Yun realized with dawning clarity that this young progenitor was a truly lawless individual who didn’t give a damn about any enemy. His philosophy was simply ’With me here, I am invincible!’

”A matter of this magnitude... shouldn’t we... shouldn’t we report to His Majesty first?” Chi Yun said hesitantly. As a Supreme Elder, he couldn’t afford to be as lawless and reckless as this young progenitor.

Li Qiye just smiled and shook his head. ”It’s a trivial matter, hardly worth mentioning. Just inform the Sun Demon Emperor after he arrives.”

”But...” Chi Yun’s face soured. Attacking the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven? Wasn’t that signing his own death warrant?

Chi Yun was about to try and persuade Li Qiye to abandon the idea of attacking the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven, but Li Shuangyan discreetly shook her head at him.

No one here understood Li Qiye better than Li Shuangyan. Now that the Qingxuan Ancient Country had provoked him, he would absolutely not let it go. If Chi Yun continued to argue, it would only serve to annoy him.

”Elder Yun, there’s no need for you to get involved. Since you have your reservations, I will just take my own people,” Li Qiye said, looking at Chi Yun.

Chi Yun gritted his teeth and finally said, ”I and the other elders and Hall Masters will accompany Young Master Li!” He had to make a choice. The Nine Saints Demon Gate and Li Qiye were firm allies. Li Qiye had helped them when they were in trouble. Now that he was going to attack the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven, it would be unacceptable if he didn’t provide reinforcements. It would seriously damage their relationship.

Chi Yun knew that provoking a titan like the Qingxuan Ancient Country meant they were in for major trouble, but they had to stand on the same side as Li Qiye!

”Good. Let’s go.” Li Qiye was pleased with Chi Yun’s response and nodded.

Chi Yun didn’t hesitate. As a Supreme Elder who had weathered many storms, once he made a decision, he acted with decisive speed. He immediately mobilized the elders, Guardians, and Hall Masters within the Ancient City, leaving only the ordinary disciples behind.

Against a titan like the Qingxuan Ancient Country, mobilizing ordinary disciples would just be sending them to their deaths. It was far better to mobilize only the most elite and powerful experts to face the enemy.

”This Grotto Heaven belongs to my Xiyan Ancient Sect from today onward. You all can help me watch over it for now.” With that one sentence before leaving, Li Qiye single-handedly decided the ownership of the captured Holy Heaven Sect’s Grotto Heaven. Chi Yun and the others were in no position to argue with him over it, so they readily agreed.

When Li Qiye led the grand procession toward the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s estate, many onlookers were left completely stunned.

After the Nine Saints Demon Gate’s great victory over the Holy Heaven Sect, all the Great Teaching Territories in Celestial Ancient City had assumed the matter would end there. With the Holy Heaven Sect having fled and the Nine Saints Demon Gate occupying their Grotto Heaven, it was already a remarkable victory.

Yet, within the very same day, Li Qiye was leading his forces on another campaign, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

”He’s insane!” Hearing that Li Qiye was going to attack the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven estate in Celestial Ancient City, many Sect Leaders and Emperors from the various Great Teaching Territories were utterly stupefied.

Attacking the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s Grotto Heaven? Only a madman would do such a thing. To attack their Grotto Heaven was to declare war on the Qingxuan Ancient Country.

Declaring war on the Qingxuan Ancient Country meant being overwhelmed by their countless Princes, True Masters, and even Ancient Saints. If things got out of hand, even reclusive beings like Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors might be forced to act.

Declaring war on the Qingxuan Ancient Country was simply courting death!
