Dominator Emperor

Qing Xuanxiong’s words made many people exchange glances. The Old Undyings, in particular, felt a chill in their hearts. A year ago, the War God Hall had buried an Ancient Coffin in the Netherworld Ship. Could it be that the War God Hall was on the verge of collapse?

”It’s not Qingxuan Ancient Country’s turn to dominate the Middle Grand Realm.” At this moment, another voice spoke, one that sounded completely devoid of anger.

At this moment, an old man in a simple cloth robe stood in the Void. No one saw how he arrived. Beside him was a man surging with a boundless Emperor’s Qi—the Sun Demon Emperor!

The old man’s voice was calm, and his Blood Qi was restrained, revealing no hint of his invincibility. Yet, even someone like the Sun Demon Emperor could only stand by his side as an attendant!

”Master—” Seeing the Sun Demon Emperor, Li Shuangyan’s spirits immediately lifted. At this moment, she understood completely. ’This is exactly what I guessed!’

”Elder Ancestor Mu—” Upon seeing the old man, even Qing Xuanxiong, the National Preceptor of the Qingxuan Ancient Country, turned deathly pale and stumbled back several steps. DONG! DONG! DONG!

”Mu Chen—” In the distance, an Old Undying who had just arrived caught sight of the old man and his expression changed drastically with fear.

”What? The legendary disciple of the Muzhan God—” In an instant, all the great figures and Old Undyings who had ever been enemies of the War God Hall vanished into hiding.

News that the Holy Heaven Sect was attacking the Xiyan Ancient Sect had spread like wildfire through the Middle Grand Realm. Some Old Undyings had rushed over at top speed as soon as they heard. They were all after the Xiyan Ancient Sect’s Emperor Techniques, hoping to fish in troubled waters and snatch them amidst the chaos of war.

However, the moment these reclusive Old Undyings saw Mu Chen, they scattered like mice before a cat, immediately going into hiding. Many of these secluded Old Undyings had made their names during the Tough Dao Era, or even before. Some were even Heaven-Defying, invincible existences like Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors. But now, at the mere sight of Mu Chen, they were scared out of their wits and instantly hid themselves away.

”The Muzhan God’s disciple, is it really him?” This question stunned everyone. The name Muzhan God thundered in their ears. Even if he wasn’t an Immortal Emperor, having lived for two generations in a single lifetime already made him invincible.

”Even if he isn’t the Muzhan God’s disciple, he’s still an Elder Ancestor of the War God Hall!” one Old Emperor said, his face pale as he scurried to the side.

As for Gu Tieshou and the others, they found it utterly unbelievable. An Elder Ancestor from the War God Hall had come in person—this was completely unimaginable. For the Xiyan Ancient Sect, having anyone from the War God Hall show up would be a visit from a great personage. Yet today, an Elder Ancestor of the War God Hall had personally come to save them. What an immense show of respect this was!

Now, with a single word from the War God Hall’s Elder Ancestor, who would dare to touch the Xiyan Ancient Sect? That would be tantamount to making an enemy of the War God Hall!

Even Qing Xuanxiong, who hailed from the Qingxuan Ancient Country, was ashen-faced, staring at Mu Chen in disbelief. The War God Hall’s External Elder, Elder Jiang, personally coming to save the Xiyan Ancient Sect had been surprising enough. But now, the War God Hall’s Elder Ancestor, Mu Chen, had appeared in person. This had completely dumbfounded him!

Besides Qing Xuanxiong and the Old Undyings who had become famous before the Tough Dao Era, not many among the current generation of Sect Leaders, Emperors, or youths actually recognized Mu Chen.

”Is he really that strong?” a powerful expert of noble rank couldn’t help but ask an old Elder from his sect.

The sect Elder’s expression changed dramatically. He immediately silenced the noble expert and whispered, ”A true Heaven-Defying existence, rumored to be the disciple of the Muzhan God. Right now, even if the Nine Ancestors of the Qingxuan Ancient Country came personally, they would only be courting death!”

The heroic experts and nobles who didn’t know of Mu Chen’s past turned pale with fright upon hearing this. The Qingxuan Ancient Country had a total of Nine Ancestors, with the ninth being the strongest. He had once challenged the Ta Kong Immortal Emperor and, despite being flicked away with a single finger, it was a glorious defeat. In the present age, some people considered the Nine Ancestors of the Qingxuan Ancient Country to be on par with the Elder Ancestor of the Holy Heaven Sect!

To the cultivators of this era, to the heroic experts, nobles, True Masters, and Ancient Saints, figures like the Elder Ancestor of the Holy Heaven Sect and the Nine Ancestors of the Qingxuan Ancient Country were invincible existences. In the eyes of countless powerful figures, they were beings so lofty they were completely untouchable!

At this moment, some Old Undyings from Great Teaching Territories who had come to fish in troubled waters all had their expressions change drastically upon seeing Mu Chen. Even former Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors would be scared into hiding at a time like this!

”Why is *he* here?!” Some of the Old Undyings shivered upon seeing Mu Chen, their faces paling as they spoke.

”This is a legendary powerhouse. Didn’t he seal his blood and halt his life to lie within a Time Blood Stone long ago? Why has he come out today?” Even Old Undyings who had lived for tens of thousands of years were left with stunned, pale faces at the sight of Mu Chen.

A Supreme Elder from an older generation of a Great Sect sucked in a cold breath, a chill running down his spine as he muttered, ”What kind of connection does the Xiyan Ancient Sect have to actually get an Elder Ancestor from the War God Hall to personally come and back them up? This... this is simply impossible.”

”Go back to where you came from,” Mu Chen said nonchalantly. In his eyes, the tens of thousands of iron cavalry from the Holy Heaven Sect, the once-breathtakingly talented Baosheng Human Emperor, and even the National Preceptor of the Qingxuan Ancient Country were all not worth mentioning. His casual words were like a supreme decree.

The Baosheng Human Emperor’s face was pale, and he didn’t dare to utter another word. Even if the Elder Ancestor of their Holy Heaven Sect were to come personally, it would not change today’s outcome!

Qing Xuanxiong couldn’t help but stamp his foot and say, ”We’re leaving!” Today, even if the Nine Ancestors of the Qingxuan Ancient Country emerged, they would be no match for the War God Hall’s Elder Ancestor. Unless one of the legendary powerhouses buried deep within the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s foundations were to emerge, there was no changing today’s situation.

”Leaving so soon?” However, Li Qiye, who had been calm and composed all this time, spoke up leisurely. ”Since you’re already here, don’t even think about going back.”

As soon as Li Qiye’s words came out, many of the heroic experts and nobles watching from the horizon exchanged glances. As for the Baosheng Human Emperor and Qing Xuanxiong, their expressions changed completely.

”Little Ghost, don’t be shameless!” Qing Xuanxiong said coldly. ”It is not your Xiyan Ancient Sect that I fear today. I am simply giving face to the War God Hall!” Although he couldn’t contend with an existence like the War God Hall’s Elder Ancestor, as the National Preceptor of the Qingxuan Ancient Country, he didn’t give a damn about the Xiyan Ancient Sect, let alone Li Qiye.

”Face for the War God Hall?” Li Qiye said with leisurely ease. ”Even without the War God Hall, I would still slaughter all of you today. I show no mercy to those who cross me, and that includes the descendants of Immortal Emperors!”

At this point, many people felt that Li Qiye was being far too arrogant. After gaining the War God Hall’s support, he was acting as if no one else mattered, completely lawless. However, out of fear of an existence like Mu Chen, no one dared to say a word.

Qing Xuanxiong glanced at Mu Chen, but Mu Chen gave no indication of his stance. He glared at Li Qiye, his eyes turning sharp as he said coldly, ”Little Ghost, we want to leave. You think you alone can stop us?”

”Kill them all,” Li Qiye said slowly, not even bothering to glance at Qing Xuanxiong. ”Let everyone in the Middle Grand Realm know: those who cross me will be shown no mercy!”

After Li Qiye’s words fell, no one moved. Gu Tieshou was stunned for a moment, caught in a dilemma of whether to act or not. Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted, ”Charge! Kill them all!”

”Has the Xiyan Ancient Sect gone mad? They just escaped a catastrophe, and now they want to counterattack?” a Sect Leader couldn’t help but mutter.

”Just with your Xiyan Ancient Sect?” Qing Xuanxiong sneered. At the same time, the Baosheng Human Emperor’s gaze turned cold. If the War God Hall didn’t make a move, and the Xiyan Ancient Sect dared to attack, their Holy Heaven Sect’s tens of thousands of experts would definitely annihilate them.

”I wasn’t talking to you.” Li Qiye shook his head at Gu Tieshou and waved his hand, signaling the Xiyan Ancient Sect disciples to stop.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— Just as Li Qiye’s words fell, four Stone People descended from the sky. In an instant, the four Stone People landed beside Li Qiye, surrounding and protecting his Four-Battle Copper Vehicle!

Seeing the four Stone People descend from the heavens, the Sun Demon Emperor was visibly moved, almost crying out in shock. Even Mu Chen couldn’t help but be affected. His gaze focused, becoming incomparably profound as he muttered, ”The Four War Stone Guard!”

”Today, I’ll let you witness the true foundation of my Xiyan Ancient Sect!” Li Qiye stood calmly atop the Four-Battle Copper Vehicle and said with unhurried composure, ”Kill them all!”

”KILL—” The four Stone People actually spoke human words. They moved in a flash. In an instant, the four Stone People attacked, taking a single step forward, and massive feet came stomping down.

”Activate the formation—” The giant feet blotted out the sky. The Baosheng Human Emperor’s expression changed drastically as he roared orders to his disciples!

OMMM— The Grand Array activated. The tens of thousands of iron cavalry from the Holy Heaven Sect roared, ”KILL—” In an instant, countless incomparably thick beams of Divine Sword light shot toward the sky, attempting to block the descending giant feet!

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM— However, a series of heaven-rending, earth-shattering sounds rang out. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! All the massive Divine Swords shattered beneath the giant feet; they were completely unable to stop the four stone appendages.

”AHHH—” In that one moment, wretched screams echoed across the heavens. A rain of blood filled the sky. As the giant feet landed, the Grand Array instantly collapsed, and thousands of the Holy Heaven Sect’s experts were stomped into meat paste on the spot. At this moment, no matter what Treasure Artifacts, no matter what Outer Daoist Soldiers were used, they were no match for the four Stone People.

”Retreat, retreat, retreat...” The Baosheng Human Emperor’s expression changed drastically. He had gravely underestimated the terror of the four Stone People. He activated a Dao Platform, opening a Daoist Door, and ordered the iron cavalry to retreat through the portal immediately.

’Reigning over the Nine Realms, sweeping through the Eight Desolations!’ Even though Li Qiye appeared calm and composed, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. He recalled those bygone years when his Four-Battle Copper Vehicle rolled forward, flanked by the Four War Stone Guard, fighting a bloody battle to the very end in the Immortal Slaying Campaign until the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered! What a thrilling battle that was, where countless legendary existences fell! Slaying immortals in a single campaign—what soaring, heroic pride.

Today, he witnessed that heroic ambition once more!
