Emperor’s Domination

ose nearby immediately ran away from this tree.

“The monster at Nine Dao Sovereign realm?!” A youth turned pale after hearing this title.

“That’s him, he destroyed his own sect.” An older cultivator nearby became serious.

The title was notorious in Sword Continent.
He wasn’t the strongest cultivator by any means but could be one of the cruelest.

Rumor has it that he came from an above-average sect.
However, he became at odds with the sect and eventually ambushed then devoured his fellow members.
He then took all of its resources and treasures.

This act made people’s hair stand up in anger.
Some heroes of justice declared a crusade against this demon.
However, they were killed instead.

The demon was elusive and traveled alone, managing to escape the law while committing evil acts.

He looked quite happy to see the crowd’s frightened reaction.
He sneered at Li Qiye: “Young Noble Li, I am a reasonable person, give me one billion Golden Sovereign Refined Jades and I’ll leave without ever thinking about opposing you.”

“One billion for peace of mind?” A crowd member commented.

He wasn’t the only one who viewed Li Qiye as someone with more money than sense.
However, he was the most blatant so far.
Other big shots couldn’t do the same thing since they cared about their reputation.

The sum was quite outrageous.
The demon could rob and steal for the rest of his life without ever reaching this amount.
His cultivation wasn’t high enough to make this demand.

When a cultivator reached Grand Dao Sacred Physique, they would have two potential paths – either a heavenly body or a golden avatar.

The former was the path of the sovereign while the latter would take one to the dao lord realm.

The first levels of Heavenly Sovereign included ten dao.
After reaching ten dao, that would take them to the next classifications – Golden Sovereign, Myriad Sovereign, Supreme Sovereign, and Immortal Sovereign.

At Nine Dao Heavenly Sovereign, the demon was strong enough to hold his own anywhere in Sword Continent.
Thus, even if he wasn’t evil, others would still be intimidated by him.

Alas, this cultivation realm wasn’t enough to demand one billion refined jades.
Few sects could come up with this amount, let alone an individual.
It was enough to cause a mass-scale conflict.

“One billion?” Li QIye chuckled after hearing the demand.

“That’s right.” The demon smirked: “One billion is nothing to you, akin to a drop of water compared to the ocean.
It is way too cheap considering that it’ll save your life, kekeke…”

The crowd did agree with this comment.
One billion was actually nothing to Li Qiye.
After all, he had billions of Dao Lord Refined Jades.

“Isn’t it nice to dream? I can produce this sum but I don’t think you’ll be alive to enjoy it.” Li Qiye calmly answered.
