Emperor's Domination

“You know of your progenitor’s struggle, what about Zhan Sansheng’s?” Li Qiye smiled.

“I do not.” She shook her head.

“Do you think his route toward immortality was smooth? Easy rebirth and re-cultivating?” Li Qiye asked.

“...” She couldn’t answer because few cared about the details.

They knew about his deaths, the first of which happened during Immortals Slaughtered where he fell along with the three immortals.

The second happened during Heavenslay, killed by Desolate Ancestors and other progenitors. He still came back to life and assumed his prime again.

Putting aside the process, just each death must have been agonizing.

“Everyone believes if they can become immortals, they will not fear death.” Li Qiye smiled: “But is this the case? If I guarantee you a rebirth, will you be able to face death without any hesitation?”

“A rebirth.” She became emotional.

“Yes, death and then life again.” Li Qiye said.

She took a deep breath without answering, glancing at the sky.

“Most attribute success to luck and circumstances.” Li Qiye said.

“I would give it a shot.” She gritted her teeth and said.

“The opportunity is before you right now.” Li Qiye revealed.

“Before me?” She looked around and saw no chance of death, only Founder Tablet.

“What did your progenitor write on the tablet?” Li Qiye asked.

“Desolate Scripture.” The answer was obvious.

“Is that so?” Li Qiye said: “But no matter how I look at it, I see only two words, dao heart.”

She gave him a look of doubt as if he were lying.

“See, this is a matter of the dao heart. Watch.” Li Qiye smiled and placed his palm on the tablet.

As he made a circle, the tablet started spinning at increasing speed. The woman couldn’t believe it since it hadn’t moved since the start of their sect.

Its shadow became faint as the rotational speed increased. Once it reached its limit, all eighty-one words were thrown out.

Instead of disappearing, they came together. The woman’s vision became dark at first before she saw a dao world.

She stood up in astonishment, no longer being in Desolate Immortal Peak. This was a void with a path before her.

As she followed it, she saw magnificent scenes, including the dao source. The hymns were wondrous and majestic so she became fully immersed.

From the start of cultivation to the first fruit to becoming a desolate god. The sacred anima was next and then the origination through heaven slaying. The sacred anima then morphed to life - truly a joyous process.

She had experienced all of this before because these were her achievements. The everlasting joy of each step was ingrained in her.

“Buzz.” She was pushed up another path and an unknown dao mystery. Her fate palaces became active along with her grand dao. Dao laws emerged, telling her to bathe in this special place.

“These mysteries are mine!” She realized this was the key to breaking through.

Therefore, she mustered all her strength and speed, wanting to catch this dao mystery with the best grasping technique.

“Boom!” The dao source erupted and sent her flying.

She, a heaven-slayer, could look down on all of Old World. She reacted swiftly by building several barriers. However, the dao explosion took them down instantly.

“Rumble!” A tribulation manifested near the dao mystery to her horror.

“Boom!” It surged dramatically and sent down lightning bolts, capable of reducing billions to ashes.

She had never seen a tribulation of this magnitude before so she retreated, warping from one dimension to another.

Alas, the tribulation was attached to her like her own shadow. Lightning in the shape of a palm appeared above, sending down smaller lightning bolts and flames.

“Sky Cutter!” She knew running was not an option and delivered a vertical slash using her grand dao.

Unfortunately, the palm crushed her dao slash and the remaining barriers. Bolts and flames detonated upon contact.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m finished…” She closed her eyes, accepting death.

“Bam!” Pain coursed through her and just when she thought she would become ashes, nothing else happened.

She opened her eyes and saw that she was knocked to the ground. The immortal peak and Founder Tablet appeared the same as before.
