Emperor’s Domination

could turn into a dao source.

He entered the altar, causing the whole place to light up. The mountains were the next to light up, then all of the territories in Longevity.

It didnt matter how pure and complicated the grand dao that made up Longevity. They turned into seeds for the dao fruit, much simpler than even dao laws.

From complexity to simplicity, the dao fruit shot out a ray of light onto Li Qiye. The endless profundities of the grand dao started forming inside Li Qiye, allowing him to grasp the whole system.

“Is he controlling the power of our system?” People werent quite clear yet on his aim.

“Boom!” He instantly took hold of all the runes in Longevity. His chest became resplendent as if an immortal scripture was opening. There were too many symbols and runes to count.

“Is that the Longevity Scripture?” One ancestor murmured in a daze.

Alchemy Immortal relied on this scripture to create the system. Those who could understand the mysteries of the scripture would be able to grasp all the legacies and merit laws of the system.

The light coming from Li Qiye was different from everything else. It belonged to time and the myriad eras, from the past to the present, from the present to the future. This temporal affinity gathered around him.

His physical self was now the embodiment of time. His power, vitality, and grand dao from the past, present, and future all joined together at this particular juncture.

People shuddered because this new form had exceeded everything. Just a wave of his hand could annihilate gods and emperors.

“Longevity Physique…” The Untethered became startled.

The three girls stared in astonishment after hearing this name.

“Long… Longevity Physique…” The other ancestors jaw dropped to the ground.

“Is it really?” The other representatives asked for confirmation.

“It must be.” The Untethered stared at Li Qiye and noticed something: “But its strange, maybe it is a mastery of the dao source, not purely the Longevity Physique.”

She was the most knowledgeable one here but couldnt pinpoint the exact details. She felt that this resembled the Longevity Physique but could also be him simply controlling the dao source of Longevity.

“What is this physique?” One junior asked his ancestor.

“Its an ultimate merit law of our system from the progenitor. It is a common belief that only he had cultivated to perfection. Anyone else who tried only made it to the bare surface level. This art could be considered invincible.” His ancestor answered with a solemn expression.

The Silver Dragon Carapace saw Li Qiyes current state and fearfully took one step backward.

“Oh? This is called Longevity Physique? A bit of a coincidence.” Li Qiye smiled. [1]

This particular state was named Longevity Physique, but it had no relation with the Eternal Physique from the twelve Immortal Physiques.

This was an unprecedented art created by Alchemy Immortal, also his strongest. It gathered the power of the users various temporal forms, boosting the person to their strongest state.

No one had done it successfully before, until now. In fact, he didnt train it either. However, his dao fruit was able to derive the mysteries of this system, including this Longevity Physique from the Longevity Scripture.

In other words, he didnt need to cultivate anything and could use this Longevity Physique stemming from the dao foundation of the system through his dao fruit. It was akin to putting on a pre-existing armor.

1. The raw words I translated as Longevity in this arc are the same words used for Magus Eternal Physique. Ive used Eternal for a power level here already, and Longevity fits the alchemy theme more. Just know that the words are the same, thats why hes saying its a coincidence.
