Emperor's Domination

Chapter 6266: No Guarantee

Finally, the black rock was refined and its true appearance became revealed - a seed with the purest life force.

Waves of golden light rotated around it like worlds. Countless runes could be seen on the surface, seemingly born naturally from within.

They rotated and changed continuously. Since they were so tiny and looked like texture, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to notice them.

When someone strong enough tried to observe, the runes would take them on a journey into the seed.

In this astral form, they entered a dao world filled with runes - each with unique mysteries and constant transformation.

When they came together properly, they formed dao words and chapters. If one could travel in this world, one would see the whole primal process of dao creation starting from a rune to a world.

Life came next and it would take billions of years for it to prosper into palpable life forms. Great trees appeared and filled the continents.

“Buzz.” A bodhi seed manifested into reality and wielded the whole life force and dao laws of this world. One day, it would become a special divine tree.

Li Qiye then delved into the unreachable part of the crater - the location of the earth vein. All dao laws were under its suppression and no one could reach it besides him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The vein was a natural vessel containing all things - something beyond the grasp of regular cultivators.

Once he reached it, he saw a clear liquid surging. This turned out to be dense worldly energy.

Li Qiye stared at it before glancing at the seed in his hand, letting out a sigh.

“I can’t guarantee your life but I can preserve this remnant soul. It won’t be a complete death.” Li Qiye said.

Bodhi Ancestor failed the immortal ascension but persisted all this time. He remained alive with the help of Desolate Ancestor and other masters, moving his corpse to the earth vein so he could live a borrowed life.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before the tribulation flames would win and turn him to ashes.

Nevertheless, his dao heart was firm enough to still stay alive, holding on to his sanity despite being burned by the flames for eras. He waited long enough for Li Qiye’s arrival.

Since his body was finished, Li Qiye accelerated the process. Once the old tree was gone, a rebirth process through fire could begin.

Li Qiye released the final remnant soul into the source of the earth vein after refining it with tribulation flames.

“Pop!” The falling seed remained resplendent with golden beams. The liquified worldly energy turned into bricks as time came to a stop.

The seed cracked and tiny roots came out, growing longer and thicker. They spread throughout the source and germinated.

“It is up to you now, what you deserve is adequately prepared.” Li Qiye smiled: “Your dao heart will determine whether you will grow and reach the immortal level later.”

Li Qiye didn’t have time to wait since it might require many eras or longer. He continued the descent and reached the bottom of the crater.

He saw an open space sealed numerous times. Alas, there was an opening with two figures inside - one larger and one small.

The large one was trapped while the small one held onto a divine chain - Ye Sha and Li Xuansu.

Her chain crossed through eight latches attached to Ye Sha, completing the seal. Unfortunately, she couldn’t finish the spell and relied on her power to keep the creature in place.

She looked seriously injured with bleeding wounds. She stood as still as a statue, focusing on keeping the chain in place.

Unfortunately, she was being corroded by a terrible power. Only her strong will kept her grasp tight enough on the chain, preparing to die for this goal.
