Emperor’s Domination

pport from an ancestor, it renders him meaningless.” 

“Which ancestor?” The strategist became lively again.

“You’ll find out soon enough, that Li Qiye won’t be able to act haughty for long.
He’s nothing without the saber.” The crown prince’s eyes became murderous.

In the history of Vajra, as geniuses grew older and stronger, they would have an opportunity to enter Ancestral Temple.
It seemed that the prince had obtained some help from there.

“I’m at ease now after hearing this, Your Highness.
We’ll be victorious for sure.” The strategist said.

The third prince had everything, just missing the easterly wind.
The throne would be his with the help of Ancestral Temple.

“We’ll have an answer soon.” The prince planned to kill Li Qiye first.
The guy was a threat in all circumstances.
It was better to be sure.

“Yes, everyone will be waiting for your order.” The strategist felt assured.
The prince must have heard something from an ancestor in the temple.

The appearance of the saber messenger changed the political landscape and the undercurrents in Vajra.
Even the calm borders had activities.

Recently, Vajra didn’t worry about the borders.
Only minor skirmishes happened at best.

Today, on the side of Righteous Sect, a massive image of divine beasts illuminated the region.
It encroached on Vajra ’s territory.

“What’s going on?” Many became startled.

“It’s Righteous!” Everyone took a deep breath.

The image continued spreading with no end in sight.

“Are they mobilizing?” Others became afraid.

Righteous and Vajra were the two strongest powers in the southern West King.
They had control over two-thirds of the available land.

Righteous was formed later but rose just as quickly.
It had three dao lords and actually surpassed Vajra in certain generations.

A mountain can’t have two tigers.
Thus, the two sides have been fighting.
Minor skirmishes never stopped.

However, Buddha Supreme and Righteous Supreme fought side by side once.
This brought peace to the land for a period of time.

Now, this visual phenomenon seemed like a blatant provocation.

“Boom!” The image became larger and larger, nearly covering all of Buddha Holy Ground.

“Is war coming?” The court of Vajra became increasingly nervous.

“Impossible.” One timeworn big shot said: “After the two supremes fought Black Tides together, we’re pretty much an alliance now.
It can’t be a declaration of war.”

Finally, the image turned into a massive shadow and spoke: “I shall journey eastward to climb Minor Sacred Mountain.
Do not disappoint me, geniuses of the holy ground.”

The voice was domineering and confident.
It felt as if a young tyrant was standing among the clouds, looking down on the holy ground and its geniuses.

The members of the holy ground became emotional.
It wasn’t a declaration of war – just a direct challenge from one person.
