Dominator Emperor

Many people were giving Li Qiye strange looks, especially the older generation of Cultivators. This brat was only fifteen or sixteen, yet he was already flanked by two peerless beauties—and both of them were older than him!

”I didn’t expect this little brat to have such tastes. He likes older women!” one of the older Cultivators chuckled mischievously.

Another elder Cultivator sighed wistfully, ”It’s great to be young. Arrogant and unrestrained, completely carefree!”

”What kind of nonsense are you all spouting!” Hearing the old Cultivators’ wistful sighs, Li Qiye was left speechless. He could feel countless odd stares fixed upon him.

At that moment, Li Qiye felt deeply wronged. It was a classic case of being unable to clear his name, as if even the Yellow River couldn’t wash him clean. Though Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao had been with him for so long, he truly had never done anything inappropriate with them!

”A bunch of dirty old men!” Chen Baojiao and Li Shuangyan immediately understood the meaning behind the old Cultivators’ strange looks. Li Shuangyan remained as cold and proud as a winter plum, but Chen Baojiao’s face flushed red.

As for the younger Cultivators, they couldn’t help but look at Li Qiye with envy and jealousy. This was especially true for the young geniuses, who considered themselves dragons among men, the only ones worthy of such peerless women. Yet, here were two of them following a mere brat. How could they not be consumed by jealousy?

”Pah! A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh,” one genius finally spat out, unable to stomach the sight.

Meanwhile, Bai Jianzhen’s beautiful eyes were grim. Her gaze was like Sword Radiance, sharp enough to sting the skin and send a chill through the heart. Most people didn’t dare to meet her eyes.

”What’s wrong? Weren’t you brimming with confidence just now?” Li Qiye said leisurely. Seeing Bai Jianzhen radiating killing intent, he felt a sudden urge to tease her. A mischievous smile crept onto his face. ”Frankly, I’m the one getting the short end of the stick here. You’re as cold as a block of ice. As a bed warmer, I’m worried you won’t even be able to get the sheets lukewarm. A girl who lacks passion will have a hard time finding a husband, you know. I’m making a huge sacrifice just by keeping you around!”

His words left many in the crowd speechless. This little brat had gotten a great deal and was still playing the victim! Even Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao let out a soft, reproachful sigh.

Bai Jianzhen was the successor to the Sword God Holy Land, after all. A renowned genius of the current era, her killing sword was merciless. Between her status and her level of Dao Practice, absolutely no one in the younger generation would ever dare to provoke her like this.

But now, a brat several years her junior was openly teasing her, causing many in the crowd to exchange glances in utter disbelief.

”This brat’s arrogance really is one of a kind,” an elder Cultivator remarked with a wry smile. Just imagine—even in their youth, they would never have dared to tease Bai Jianzhen. The Sword God Holy Land was a nest of killers who wouldn’t bat an eye at slaughter. Who would dare provoke them?

As for Bai Jianzhen herself, the target of his jests, she showed no anger. Her expression was as placid as an ancient well, her demeanor frosty. Yet, her killing intent continued to surge, and the Sword Radiance in her eyes seemed ready to pierce Li Qiye’s heart.

Finally, Bai Jianzhen replied, her voice as cold and merciless as her gaze, ”So be it.” She didn’t even blink. Her expression remained utterly unchanged, as placid as an ancient well, as if she weren’t discussing a matter concerning her entire future.

Bai Jianzhen’s words stunned everyone into silence. People exchanged bewildered glances. This was too ridiculous! No one could have imagined that Bai Jianzhen would actually agree to such terms.

”As a toad, I happen to enjoy eating swan’s flesh!” Li Qiye lazily glanced at the one who had just mocked him and said with carefree ease, ”When a dragon or a phoenix eats a swan, that’s not skill. But when a toad eats a swan, now *that* is true skill. I may not have any other talents, but my ability to live off women is absolutely second to none! What, you got a problem with it? If you’re not convinced, come and bite me.”

The young genius who had mocked Li Qiye earlier flushed crimson, finally just letting out a cold snort.

As for everyone else, they were simply speechless. Most Cultivators would be ashamed to be known for living off women, yet this kid was shamelessly proud of it!

His two maids, Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao, who knew him best, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If their Young Master had to resort to living off women, then every other man in the world must be utterly useless!

”Enough talk. Draw your sword!” Bai Jianzhen said, her voice frigid and merciless. Her killing intent flared, her aura surging like a leopard that had spotted its prey.

”It seems the lady is in a hurry to become my Bed Warmer Girl,” Li Qiye laughed, clapping his hands together. ”Sword, come!”

CLANG! Li Shuangyan, who was holding the Six Paths Sword, didn’t even move. The blade shot out of its sheath and landed perfectly in Li Qiye’s hand.

The moment the sword was in his grip, Li Qiye’s entire demeanor shifted. The flippant jokester who had been teasing Bai Jianzhen vanished, replaced by a true master.

Sword in hand, Li Qiye stepped off the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle. He fixed a cold gaze on Bai Jianzhen, his expression solemn and his aura majestic. The teasing youth was completely gone.

CLANG— Bai Jianzhen drew her sword as well. The moment she accepted the duel and the Black Sword left its sheath, she transformed. A chilling murderous aura erupted from her body, so palpable it seemed to form corporeal strands of light that swirled around her. Each strand was utterly merciless, capable of slaying anything and evoking the visceral sensation of dripping blood.

The unsheathed Black Sword sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. It was not a sword, but death itself, summoned from the depths of Hell. With the Black Sword in her hand, Bai Jianzhen’s form became indistinct, and the shape of the blade itself was impossible to discern. It was nothing more than a black blur, radiating pure killing intent and the stench of death, a weapon that seemed capable of reaping all life.

It was as if Bai Jianzhen herself had vanished. All anyone could perceive was Sword Intent—a vast and merciless Sword Intent that seemed to have clawed its way up from Hell, reeking of death.

”The Path of the Killing Sword from the Sword God Holy Land!” Seeing such a potent Sword Intent, the expressions of the older generation shifted. The younger geniuses, like Saint Heir Bao Zhu, Young Emperor Nantian, and Princess Xiuse, all paled.

”As expected of the sword the Yeti Immortal Emperor wielded in his youth. It truly can slay all living things.” Seeing the Black Sword unsheathed, countless people felt a chill crawl up their spines. This was the terror of the Sword God Holy Land. Many Cultivators were defeated by fear alone before a battle with its disciples even began. Their killing intent was simply too horrifying, their Path of the Killing Sword too dreadful!

”She really does have the Yeti Old Man’s flair from his youth,” Li Qiye remarked, not stingy with his praise as he observed Bai Jianzhen’s state.

HUMMM— The Six Paths Sword in Li Qiye’s hand flared with brilliant light. In an instant, a black and white radiance engulfed him, swirling around his body like the two halves of a Yin Yang Fish.

As the black and white light flowed, two Supreme Daos manifested. The white was majestic and grand, a path that led to the heavens. The black was a bottomless abyss, an endless prison from which the wails of countless beings could be heard.

One Supreme Dao belonged to the Six Paths Lotus, the other to the Pumo Tree. The sword contained the profoundest essence of both!

Most of those present were astute enough to recognize quality. Seeing Li Qiye’s Six Paths Sword command yin and yang, manifesting as black and white light, they were all moved. They understood this was an incredible treasure.

BOOM! With a soft sound, Li Qiye’s Life Palace materialized above his head. Dao Patterns flowed and evolved endlessly within it. A Kunpeng then leaped out from the palace. As it emerged, it cast down strands of Law that wove together into a supreme Emperor Chapter. This Chapter manifested as a Vast Ocean, and the Kunpeng moved within it as naturally as a fish in water.

”An Emperor Technique!” Seeing the Kunpeng, many were stirred with envy. An elder Cultivator murmured, ”The legendary Kunpeng Six Transformations. It was one of the Mingren Immortal Emperor’s strongest Emperor Techniques!”

”Azure Heaven Is Merciless!” Li Qiye roared. As his voice fell, he thrust his blade skyward, unleashing the Three Talents Sword. In that instant, the Six Paths Sword manifested the endless Path of the Azure Heaven, transforming the very heavens into a sword. Boundless, pure yang energy cascaded down as a torrent of white light, forming into countless Celestial Swords. Each one hung high in the Nine Heavens, and a single descending blade was enough to sunder mountains.

But the might of Li Qiye’s sword did not end there. In that same instant, the roar of crashing waves filled the air as a vast sea rose up behind him. As this ocean submerged the heavens, all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was drawn into it, becoming his own.

This was the Sea Transformation of the Kunpeng Six Transformations. The sea became a vast ocean that devoured Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, channeling the Might of the Great Dao. In a flash, the power of Li Qiye’s sword strike multiplied several times over.

Merciless Azure Heaven, righteous and impartial! The Three Talents Sword was a Supreme Path. This single strike, carrying the endless Dao essence of the Six Paths Lotus, could cleave stars and shatter the sun and moon. At the mere sight of such a slash, never mind a Prince—even a True Master would be deeply shaken.

Such a fatal strike was utterly merciless. It was a blade that demanded blood with every fall, a sight that would move any who witnessed it.

SHIING— In that instant, Bai Jianzhen attacked. In that split second, there was no Bai Jianzhen, no Black Sword—only a single streak of Sword Radiance flashing by.

That lone streak of Sword Radiance made everyone’s heart skip a beat. It was a light that could pierce the six paths and extinguish all life.

Her sword thrust struck directly at the weakest point of Li Qiye’s Azure Heaven Sword. In that spark of an instant, Bai Jianzhen had somehow, with impossible speed, found a nearly imperceptible flaw in his technique. She was a true genius of the sword!

In that same instant, Li Qiye was startled. It all happened too fast. He changed his sword form at an incredible speed, a speed so great it seemed to dim the stars and stop time itself.

SPURT! A sword pierced through everything, and blood sprayed through the air. Li Qiye was sent flying backward, a sword wound in his chest.

THUD, THUD, THUD... Li Qiye staggered back several steps, blood dyeing his chest red. The sword had pierced his torso, nearly running him all the way through.

One must understand that Li Qiye possessed the Prison Suppressing Divine Body. Ordinary attacks couldn’t even scratch his tough physique, yet this sword had pierced straight through his chest!
