Dominator Emperor

Flame Dragon was undoubtedly acting under orders, first provoking Li Qiye to create an excuse to arrest him. However, Elder Lin never expected that even with all their preparations, they would still be utterly defeated in an instant.

"Get lost—" Li Qiye couldn’t be bothered to even glance at Elder Lin. With the appearance of his Thousand Hands Reverse Nine Realms, tens of millions of arms materialized behind him. In that instant, a pair of hands drew the Nine-Word True Bow.

OMMM—the bow was drawn to a full moon. An arrow of the word "Zhe" shot forth. As the Zhe Arrow emerged, it gathered the Heaven and Earth Power and borrowed the momentum of the Eight Desolations. The force of this single arrow was like the collision of heaven and earth.

With a deafening BOOM, the arrow struck the iron fist. Even a Saint Venerable would be dripping with blood from such a hit. This was the number one bow in the world. The arrow pierced straight through Elder Lin’s fist. Despite being a powerful Saint Venerable, he couldn’t block the might of an arrow from the Nine-Word True Bow with his bare flesh. The pain made him scream miserably.

"Your master is too late to save you," Li Qiye said with a smile. The moment his words fell, his five fingers squeezed.

"No—!" Flame Dragon sensed death and let out a blood-curdling shriek, but it was too late. With a POP, Flame Dragon was crushed into a bloody mist, his life extinguished.

"You little beast, you deserve to die!" At this moment, an incomparably furious roar echoed. In that instant, Elder Wang, Flame Dragon’s master’s master, appeared. A Divine Saber streaked across the sky. This was an Elder-level expert; a single slash could cleave heaven and earth. The Qianli River disciples present all trembled under the might of this attack, their faces pale with fear.

OMMM! This time, the Nine-Word True Bow fired an arrow of the word "Qian." This was the Qian Arrow, an arrow of protection. When it was released, Ten Thousand Realms manifested. In that instant, realm after realm opened before Li Qiye, like layers of giant shields protecting him.

BANG! The Divine Saber was practically invincible. With one slash, it shattered one realm after another. The incomparably domineering Sword Force sent Li Qiye flying, and he crashed heavily into his private courtyard, causing it to collapse.

Seeing this, Lu Baiqiu’s face went deathly pale. However, she couldn’t help in the slightest. A battle of this level was far beyond her ability to interfere.

CRASH! Li Qiye burst out from the rubble. In that same instant, figures descended from the sky, sealing off the area and surrounding Li Qiye.

The elders of the Qianli River sect appeared one by one, and there were even some of the senior Elders among them. They locked down the eight directions, leaving Li Qiye with no chance to escape.

"Elders, you all saw it! This fiend is vicious, he killed my disciple! If we don’t capture him, the whole world will laugh at our Qianli River!" Elder Lin’s eyes were practically splitting with rage as he spoke, his fury driving him mad.

Elder Wang had also arrived. He hovered high in the sky, looking down on Li Qiye with cold indifference as he commanded, "Capture him. Cripple his Dao Practice, then we’ll interrogate him slowly!"

At this moment, even the Qianli River disciples who witnessed this couldn’t help but gasp. All the Elders had appeared, even one of the senior Elders. This time, Li Qiye was a dead man for sure.

"Elder Wang, what is the meaning of this?!" Treasure Turtle Daoist had also rushed over. His expression changed drastically when he saw the scene. He had just gone through the trouble of persuading Elder Yang and the other senior Elders to consult the Elder Ancestors, not expecting such a thing to happen in the short time he was away—the Elders launching an attack on Li Qiye.

"This little beast viciously murdered Flame Dragon. His crime is unforgivable. The Elders have all come out to defend the prestige of our Qianli River," Elder Lin said in a cold, deep voice.

Treasure Turtle Daoist’s expression changed. He instantly understood what was happening. Someone in the Qianli River sect was getting impatient and forcing a move.

"Elder Wang, the one-day deadline hasn’t passed yet," Treasure Turtle Daoist said gravely.

Elder Wang glanced at Treasure Turtle Daoist and said coldly, "Sect Leader, you’re being foolish. An outsider has murdered a disciple of our sect. What is there to discuss? Capture this little beast, destroy his Dao Foundation, and interrogate him slowly."

"Senior Brother, we cannot hesitate on this matter any longer." At this time, the other elders present all sided with Elder Wang.

Treasure Turtle Daoist’s expression changed dramatically. He understood now that Elder Lin and the others were staging a coup. And right at this critical moment, the senior Elders who supported him were not here!

Treasure Turtle Daoist looked at the heavily surrounded Li Qiye and couldn’t help but sigh softly. He was powerless now. How this storm would end was no longer something he, the Sect Leader, could control.

"Do it," Elder Wang ordered coldly, looking down on Li Qiye.

But Li Qiye, despite being surrounded, was completely unruffled. He smiled leisurely and said, "Do you all really think I’m just a fish on the chopping block?"

"Junior, if you surrender now, you’ll suffer less. Otherwise, you’ll learn the meaning of a fate worse than death!" At this point, the Elders had sealed off the eight directions. It could be said that having so many elders appear in person showed just how much importance they placed on Li Qiye.

"Is that so?" Li Qiye gave a relaxed smile. "It seems I’ll have to go on a killing spree today after all. I can only say, it’s a pity for all of Qianli River’s hard work." As he spoke, he was already holding the Celestial Treasure Bottle.

He squinted, looking at all the elders present. At a time like this, he would show no mercy and slaughter them all.

"Junior, surrender!" Elder Lin roared, taking the lead to attack. His Divine Saber slashed across the sky, releasing a monstrous killing intent so terrifying it felt like being plunged into an ice cellar.

A cold glint flashed in Li Qiye’s narrowed eyes as killing intent surged from within him.

PFFT— Time itself seemed to ripple. Before the Divine Saber could even land, everything turned into a bloody mist. But the one who became mist wasn’t Li Qiye; it was the attacking Elder Lin.

This sudden, bizarre turn of events made the hair of every elder on scene stand on end. Those who were about to attack all froze in their tracks.

OMMM— In that instant, rays of Immortal Light shot up from the entire Thousand Carp Lake. Each ray was like it was cast from gold, resembling fine golden threads. These rays of Immortal Light soared into the Celestial Vault, reaching beyond the heavens and alarming the existences within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

At this moment, a Divine Tree materialized where the Yin Yang Pool was located. A Divine Willow, seemingly cast from pure gold, stood tall enough to prop up the heavens, its canopy covering the entire Thousand Carp Lake.

This scene shocked everyone in the Qianli River sect. All the disciples stared with their mouths wide open, looking up at the heaven-propping Golden Divine Willow, finding it completely unbelievable.

"Stand down." Just then, a voice rang out. It seemed to travel across eons, arriving from a distant, ancient era.

The sudden appearance of this voice moved all the elders present, and they couldn’t help but exchange glances.

"Who goes there—" Elder Wang’s face sank. He turned toward the source of the voice and shouted.

SHING— In that instant, a single finger extended and struck Elder Wang. He immediately collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball. With just one finger, his entire Dao Practice as a senior Elder was sealed.

Before the other Elders could even react, a giant hand grabbed Elder Wang and threw him into Siguo Cliff, a sealed area within Thousand Carp Lake. This sudden development left Treasure Turtle Daoist and the others completely stunned.

Elder Wang, a Saint Emperor, had no power to resist at all. He was sealed and thrown into the forbidden grounds in an instant.

"Reflect on your mistakes." At this moment, a figure appeared beneath the Golden Divine Willow. As this silhouette emerged, the Six Paths and Eight Desolations seemed to grow distant, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands felt insignificant. This shadow stood above heaven and earth, above Wan Dao, grasping the universe and reigning as Sovereign over all!

An invincible Emperor’s Power instantly enveloped the entire Thousand Carp Lake. With a series of THUDS, all the disciples of the Qianli River sect fell to the ground in prostration. Under this invincible Emperor’s Power, they kowtowed in worship, submitting from the very depths of their souls!

A Supreme Immortal Emperor! Before an Immortal Emperor, everything in the world becomes insignificant. Saint Venerables, Saint Emperors, even Great Sages were all rendered trivial at this moment. With a mere gesture, an Immortal Emperor could sweep away the stars of the Ten Thousand Realms and obliterate the Six Paths of Reincarnation! This was an Immortal Emperor—an existence that shouldered the Celestial Mandate, an invincible being who commanded the universe!

"What’s happening?" At this moment, from Nanyao Yun in the south to North Marsh, from the Eastern Netherworld to West Cang Water, countless powerful existences were shaken by the sudden emergence of this invincible Emperor’s Power.

"Immortal Emperor—" Treasure Turtle Daoist prostrated on the ground, weeping with emotion, so excited he could barely speak. "Emperor Ancestor, you’ve manifested! Emperor Ancestor, your descendants have been unfilial!"

At this moment, countless disciples of the Qianli River sect were prostrated on the ground. Countless Guardian Elders were shocked beyond comparison. Some disciples even had tears streaming down their faces. They had never dreamed that they would one day witness the manifestation of their own founder, Qianli Immortal Emperor.

"Master Ancestor!" Deep within the Thousand Carp Lake, an ancient Divine Coffin emerged from the lakebed. A terrifyingly ancient Elder Ancestor, so old it was impossible to be any older, climbed out and prostrated on the ground.

"The Saint Ancestor has emerged." A reawakened Elder Ancestor from the Qianli River sect was deeply moved. As for the elders and senior Elders of the sect, they were too shocked to speak.

This person buried in the deepest part of Thousand Carp Lake was the legendary grand-disciple of the Qianli Immortal Emperor. Although the senior Elders of the Qianli River sect had heard that such a terrifying existence was sealed within their sect, no one had ever seen him, not even some of the other Elder Ancestors who had been buried and sealed away.

Yet today, the Saint Ancestor’s Divine Coffin had floated up from the deepest part of Thousand Carp Lake. The Saint Ancestor had even climbed out from his sealed Time Blood Stone to pay respects to his Master Ancestor.

"Master Ancestor, your grand-disciple has failed in his teachings." The Saint Ancestor kowtowed before the Emperor’s Throne, shouldering thorns to beg for punishment.

Beneath the Golden Divine Willow, the shadow of the Qianli Immortal Emperor remained forever inscrutable, an eternal enigma. But the invincible Emperor’s Power he exuded was enough to make even a Great Sage bow their head in submission.

Today, all the disciples of the Qianli River sect were shaken to their core. Only after witnessing the manifestation of their founder did they truly understand the meaning of "Immortal Emperor." Only then did they truly understand what it meant to be invincible.

Before an Immortal Emperor, the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands seemed small, and the Six Paths and Ten Thousand Realms became insignificant!
