Dominator Emperor

The Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country. The title alone shook everyone to their core. This was an existence so terrifying it made one’s scalp tingle. He had lived for several eras and had even been invincible in one of them.

Legend claimed the Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country was sealed away within the Imperial Capital, buried deep within the nation’s profound heritage. There, he resisted the erosion of time with the help of a massive amount of Time Blood Stones!

For millions of years, no one had dared to provoke the Yao Guang Ancient Country. Even the most powerful Great Sages wouldn’t dare stir up trouble within its borders, let alone make an enemy of it.

Many knew that beyond the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s unfathomable heritage, its Guardian Divine Beast was still alive. Even Great Sages would find it difficult to oppose him!

Today, the Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country had personally arrived. The news shocked everyone’s soul; countless people were scared witless just hearing his name!

”This is a dead end!” a wise man murmured. ”No matter how heaven-defying Li Qiye is, he won’t be able to escape this calamity!”

Outside the Tiger Roar Sect, countless people revealed gloating smiles. Li Qiye was too heaven-defying, too monstrous. As long as he existed, he would forever remain an insurmountable mountain for the younger generation!

”To think a mere junior would force my Dao Body to descend. Junior, you should feel honored.” The faint shadow in the heavens above looked down upon Li Qiye and spoke slowly. ”However, it is all worth it.”

”It’s a Dao Body!” someone exclaimed, exchanging a glance with another. Still, the sight was staggering. Even if it was just the Dao Body of the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast, it could suppress numerous Great Sages. And that wasn’t even mentioning the four Immortal Emperor’s Treasures it brought with it. This was an invincible combination.

Countless people took a deep breath. The moment the Guardian Divine Beast’s Dao Body appeared, everyone understood that the war was about to end.

”Junior, not even the gods can save you today,” the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor said grimly. This war had cost their Tiger Roar Sect dearly, but for the sake of the Emperor Technique and the Immortal Body Technique, it was all worth it.

”Don’t bother with a pointless struggle.” The faint shadow remained high above, looking down on Li Qiye. ”Just obediently hand over the Emperor Artifacts, your Immortal Body Technique, and everything else. Do that, and I can grant you a quick death.”

An existence like the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast would not emerge so easily. Even sending out a Dao Body was a heavy loss for a being of his stature. These Immortal Beings had little lifespan remaining and were merely clinging to life. Generally, they would never emerge unless faced with an extinction-level threat.

However, to ensure the retrieval of the Immortal Emperor’s Treasure and to seize the Immortal Body Technique from Li Qiye, the Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country had finally manifested its Dao Body.

For an existence like the Guardian Divine Beast, however, manifesting its Dao Body was now worth it. Before him were three great Immortal Body Techniques: Li Qiye’s Prison Suppressing Divine Body, Li Shuangyan’s Pure Body, and the Tiger Roar Saint Emperor’s Angry Immortal Dominating Body!

If the Yao Guang Ancient Country possessed three Immortal Body Techniques, their potential would be unimaginable. In the future, they might be able to catch up to a lineage like the Long River Sect, or perhaps even surpass it.

At this moment, countless people held their breath. Even the Lion Roar Saint Emperor’s face turned deathly pale. This was a dead end. If it were only an existence like the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor, they might still have a chance to survive. But with a being like the Guardian Divine Beast of the Yao Guang Ancient Country making an appearance—even as just a Dao Body—they were almost certainly doomed.

”Li Qiye is finished. Not even two Immortal Emperor’s Treasures can save him now,” someone couldn’t help but remark upon seeing the situation.

A disciple from a Great Teaching Territory sneered, ”He’s just courting death. No matter how heaven-defying, someone from a minor sect can’t make big waves. Making an enemy of an Ancient Country? He won’t even know what hit him! Hah, the Yao Guang Ancient Country, a lineage of Twin Emperors, has stood for millions of years. How could a junior like him possibly shake it? It’s like a mayfly trying to topple a great tree!”

”Let’s just wait and see how this so-called genius dies a miserable death,” another Great Sect Disciple said excitedly. These disciples, who held grudges against Li Qiye, couldn’t wait to see him die.

”What a pity, what a true pity.” Li Qiye glanced at the faint shadow in the sky. ”The so-called Guardian Divine Beast only sent a Dao Body. I’m truly disappointed.”

”An ant like you is not worthy of my True Body’s presence.” The faint shadow in the sky looked down on Li Qiye. ”Hand over the Immortal Body Technique at once, and I’ll grant you a swift death!”

Li Qiye laughed. ”If your True Body were here, I might have been interested in showing you my Immortal Body Technique. A pity it didn’t come. I was actually planning to wait for your True Body to arrive so I could perform a Refinement on it. An old fossil like you who’s lived for countless eras would be tough to chew, but I’d be more than happy to perform a Refinement on your true form and turn your Beast Blood into Treasure Blood. That would be a great supplement.”

Li Qiye’s words left everyone stunned. Once they recovered, many thought Li Qiye had lost his mind. This was an Immortal Being, stronger than the legends of old, to say nothing of an Old Undying like the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor!

An existence like the Yao Guang Ancient Country’s Guardian Divine Beast could easily slay an ordinary Great Sage. As for Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors, they were nothing more than ants in his eyes!

And now, Li Qiye dared to make the outrageous claim that he wanted to perform a Refinement on an Immortal Being like the Guardian Divine Beast. The arrogance was simply off the charts.

”Hah, has this kid lost his mind? He must be scared stiff, just spouting nonsense,” someone couldn’t help but roar with laughter. ”Him? Refine an Immortal Being? It could crush him with a single finger!”

”My patience is limited!” the faint shadow in the sky declared in a cold voice. ”Hand over the Immortal Body Technique at once!” If not for his desire to obtain the technique, he would have annihilated Li Qiye with a single hand long ago.

”Forget it. I have no interest in a mere Dao Body. Your Immortal Emperor’s Treasures, on the other hand, are somewhat interesting,” Li Qiye said with a smile. ”You can go back now. Just leave the four Emperor’s Soldiers behind.”

Never mind the outsiders, even the Lion Roar Saint Emperor was dumbfounded by Li Qiye’s arrogance. The Saint Emperor himself believed this was a dead end, yet here was Li Qiye, still spouting wild boasts and shooing away the Guardian Divine Beast’s Dao Body as if it were a common fly.

The Lion Roar Saint Emperor was left speechless. He couldn’t help but feel that Li Qiye’s arrogance knew no bounds.

”Heh, heh. The venerable Divine Beast could crush you with a single finger. The four Emperor’s Soldiers weren’t brought for you—you think far too highly of yourself. They were meant to suppress and kill those Elder Ancestors from the Celestial Dao Academy. It’s a shame they didn’t show up. Otherwise, they would have met the same fate of no return,” the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor said grimly.

Hearing the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor’s words, many felt a chill run down their spines. This was a grander scheme than they had imagined. The Tiger Roar Sect didn’t just want to slaughter Li Qiye’s group; they were prepared to suppress and kill any Elder Ancestors from the Celestial Dao Academy who came to help.

”It’s time to end this.” Li Qiye ignored the Tiger Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor and looked up at the faint shadow, a smile on his face. ”Today, your Yao Guang Ancient Country is destined to fall. My only regret is that your True Body didn’t show up. I was planning on performing a Refinement on it to nourish myself a bit.”

”You court death!” The eyes of the faint shadow in the sky sharpened, their gaze piercing through the ages. At this display of anger, even a Saint Emperor would be forced to their knees, drenched in a cold sweat.

BOOM! With a deafening roar, the heavens and the earth shook. The entire Tiger Roar Sect trembled. No, the entire East Hundred Cities trembled. For a moment, it was as if an Immortal Emperor was on the move, as if the whole of the East Hundred Cities was being flipped upside down.

It wasn’t just the Tiger Roar Sect; countless people across the East Hundred Cities felt it. A peerlessly invincible existence had emerged, crossing the entire world in a single step!

”Who has emerged—” In that instant, countless Old Undyings from the Great Teaching Territories across the East Hundred Cities were startled awake, some even crawling out from their subterranean seclusion, their faces pale with fright.

At this moment, never mind Old Undyings on the level of Great Sect Ancestors—even legendary experts and Immortal Beings felt their hearts pound with fear.

BOOM! With another tremendous roar, the entire East Hundred Cities felt like a small boat in a raging storm. At that moment, from the direction of the Yao Guang Ancient Country, countless rays of Immortal Light shot into the sky. Endless Emperor’s Power erupted, surging forth to drown the heavens and earth as one Unparalleled Great Array after another activated.

But it was useless. Many people witnessed a world-shaking scene: within the Yao Guang Ancient Country, one Guardian Array after another shattered as a giant hand descended from the sky, crushing them to dust!

”Domain God—!” A defiant roar echoed from the deepest part of the Yao Guang Ancient Country. ”Weren’t you forbidden from leaving the Ancestral Vein?!”

”That was in the past!” A voice of supreme majesty descended from the heavens. A figure dropped from the sky, unstoppable, and strode directly into the deepest sanctum of the Yao Guang Ancient Country.

BOOM! At that moment, an Immortal Emperor True Artifact shot into the sky from within the Yao Guang Ancient Country, followed by one Immortal Emperor’s Treasure after another, rising to meet the powerful foe!

”Break!” The Domain God was domineering and invincible. Wielding a great furnace in one hand, he poured down a torrent of Divine Fire, intending to directly perform a Refinement on his enemy!

”The Primordial Furnace!” someone in the depths of the Yao Guang Ancient Country roared. ”Domain God, do you intend to make an irreconcilable enemy of our Yao Guang Ancient Country?”

”You’re right!” The Domain God advanced alone, bringing the Primordial Furnace down to suppress everything. As a deafening rumble sounded and the Ancestral Land began to crack, the Domain God’s voice echoed across the world: ”The day you besieged my Celestial Dao Academy, you should have known this day would come!”

”Kill!” At that moment, from the deepest part of the Yao Guang Ancient Country, an immense shadow shot into the sky, single-handedly wielding one Emperor’s Soldier after another!
