“My fate is sealed.” Dongxu Zhenren sighed in lament, the person Initial Emperor Jiang Li wanted to kill was doomed without a doubt and there was no exception.

Jiang Li indeed lived up to the title of the “Initial Emperor”, as he stood at the forefront fighting against the Heavenly Demons from beyond their realm, valiantly killing enemies, safeguarding the safety of the Nine Provinces, and his cultivation level was peerless across the ages.

The emperors of past generations could not be compared to him.

However, the Initial Emperor Jiang Li had the biggest problem – he was too brutal.

Even the slightest displeasing event would trigger a killing spree. It was said that when he returned to the Jiang family, he uprooted the family entirely, leaving no one alive, even a three-year-old child was not spared.

Anyone who had associations with the Jiang family was also killed, the City Lords, the Magistrates, and numerous other officials… Even the innocent who were related within nine generations, countless individuals lost their lives as a result.

This seriously violated Zhou state’s law and harmed the prosperity of the Zhou state.

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou wanted to punish Initial Emperor Jiang Li for disrespecting Zhou’s law, and Jiang Li responded by directly punching and shattering the national fortune of Zhou state.

Emperor Ji Zhi coughed up blood for three days, barely hanging onto his life. He is still unconscious to this day.

Not long ago, he wiped out the entire South Jiao Dragon Tribe, dyeing the South Sea red with blood.

Initial Emperor Jiang Li also participated in some secret realms, not allowing others to enter. He would go in alone, just so he could rank first.

People didn’t know why Initial Emperor Jiang Li was so obsessed with being first, nor did they dare to ask.

Mysterious Secret Realm, Sword Tomb, Ink and Wash Mystery… He had been to all of them.

If one was to compare the Initial Emperor Jiang Li and the Heavenly Demons from beyond their realm, Jiang Li indeed had great merits towards the Nine Provinces.

However, when people faced Initial Emperor Jiang Li and thought of his brutality, they still hoped that he could have a more benevolent personality.

The least they asked was for him to kill fewer people, they did not expect him to handle things perfectly.

Unfortunately, how could there be such a perfect person in the world who has a high level of cultivation and a good temper at the same time?

Anyone who accidentally upset Initial Emperor Jiang Li could only admit their misfortune and pray that he would not vent his anger on their family.

The actions of Initial Emperor Jiang Li finally led to dissatisfaction among the people. Some Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators wanted to rebel. They believed that if they could save Dongxu Zhenren, it would be the first successful step in their rebellion.

Dongxu Zhenren hoped that the cultivators at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage could successfully resist, even though the probability was very small.

“Sword Monarch, when I was in the Sword Tomb, I helped you out of the abyss of Heart Demon, are you still going to draw your sword against me?” Initial Emperor Jiang Li asked indifferently.

“Initial Emperor, I thank you for rescuing me, but this matter does not involve personal grudges.” The Sword Monarch drew his sword. Upon hearing Jiang Li’s question, he hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on standing against him.

“The people of the Nine Provinces thank you for saving them from the threat of the Heavenly Demons. You possess unrivaled strength, naturally allowing you to do whatever you want, kill whoever you want. We just hope that before you use your power, consider whether this person truly deserves to die?” Yu Yin in the dream world was quite different from the one in reality. She was respectful to Jiang Li, actively placing herself in a lowly position, her tone filled with a pleading sense.

“Take Dongxu Zhenren, for example, he merely took out a black box for you to draw cards, and you killed him because you didn’t win. A cultivator worked hard to reach the Body Integration Realm, only to die because of this minor incident. Don’t you find that funny?” Bai Hongtu in the dream world was no longer laughing, but was deadly serious when confronting Jiang Li.

In the face of Initial Emperor Jiang Li, who was mercurial, one had to be cautious.

Initial Emperor Jiang Li laughed heartily, seemingly uncaring about the pleas of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators, “My power is self-cultivated, how can I use it only with your permission?”

“Survival of the fittest is the order of nature. The weak should serve the strong. If I want to kill someone, that person can only accept death passively, obediently waiting to die.”

“You have often offended my divine might, the reason I did not kill you is due to the consideration that cultivation is hard to achieve. Do not let my tolerance towards you go to waste!”

The few present knew that the fact that they were still alive was not due to the kindness of Initial Emperor Jiang Li, but because they were at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, only second to the Initial Emperor Jiang Li himself.

If he killed them, Initial Emperor Jiang Li would only be able to rule over those at the Body Integration Realm.

Those at the Body Integration Realm were just like larger ants to Initial Emperor Jiang Li, ruling over them held no excitement.

“In that case, let us bare witness to the moves of the Initial Emperor.” Li Er spoke slowly and started to mobilize his laws.

The Commander of Willow transformed into a gigantic willow tree, towering into the sky with verdant green leaves and stretching branches that lashed towards Jiang Li, shattering the Void with its formidable power.

Facing the invincible Initial Emperor Jiang Li, the Commander of Willow didn’t hold back, unleashing his most powerful move.

As the branch of the willow tree that could shatter the Void approached, Initial Emperor Jiang Li didn’t dodge or avoid, instead stretching out his hand to grab the formidable branch, stripping off the leaves with his bare hand.

Each leaf was equal to the true blood of the Commander of Willow, which could only be restored over time.

Initial Emperor Jiang Li kicked the willow tree that the Commander of Willow had transformed into, breaking it off. The Commander of willow reverted back to human form, coughing up a great amount of blood.

Yu Yin, with the national fortune enhancing her power, brandished her ink and brush, launching her paintwork arts. All sorts of exotic creatures came alive from her brush, attacking Initial Emperor Jiang Li with both terrifying presence and immeasurable energy.

The Heavenly Origin Chessboard appeared beneath the feet of Initial Emperor Jiang Li. He stood in the center of the chessboard with the exotic creatures attacking him from all sides without end.

“Yu Yin should have stopped using her painting skills after reaching the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!” Bai Hongtu furrowed his brows.

As Yu Yin had not used her painting ability, Dongxu Zhenren should not have been able to imagine it.

Even if he forcefully imagined it, it definitely should not have been able to be as it is now.

A cultivator at the Body Integration Realm absolutely could not imagine the abilities of a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator.

Bai Hongtu could tell, if Yu Yin were to unleash her painting ability, this would be the scene.

“It seems this is indeed as Dongxu Zhenren said, it is something happening in a parallel world.” Jiang Li’s face darkened as if water could be wrung out of it.

If it were not a dream that could not be changed, he would indeed have wanted to battle with this Jiang Li who declared himself the Initial Emperor, to give his alternate counterpart a bit of a lesson!

Amidst the relentless attacks, Initial Emperor Jiang Li remained nonchalant. With a gentle wave of his hand, he turned those fierce creatures back into black ink that could never reassemble.

Jiang Li, with such unparalleled speed, stood before Yu Yi. His essence, qi and spirit surged, threatening to immerse the entire Nine Provinces.

Initial Emperor Jiang Li gently caressed the delicate face of Yu Yin, examining her closely, “Such a handsome lady, why would you want to step into the limelight to become an emperor?”

“A hero should be accompanied by a beauty. Once I establish the Nine Provinces Celestial Dynasty, I will take you into the harem!”

“Yu Yin, Pure Heart, Red Dust, Dream Yu Yu, Song Ying, Li Nian’er… all the beauties in the world should belong to my harem!”

The real Bai Hongtu believed that Initial Emperor Jiang Li had no affection for beauties, but only raw possession.

Initial Emperor Jiang Li only wanted to collect all the beauties in the world, to flaunt his power to the world.

If this was truly happening, Saintess Pure Heart probably wouldn’t like the Initial Emperor Jiang Li, and she certainly wouldn’t be pleased about becoming part of his harem.

“Spit!” Yu Yin was extremely disgusted with Initial Emperor Jiang Li’s invitation, and she no longer maintained her respectful demeanor.

Initial Emperor Jiang Li pinched Yu Yin’s slender neck and flung her away.

“Someone doesn’t appreciate kindness!”

Jiang manifested his divine power, running rampant in all directions, unbeatable. Bai Hongtu, who was watching the battle, finally understood what it would look like when Jiang Li made his move.

This was probably him still holding back, otherwise none of the people present would have survived.

“Where is the Immortal Artifact?” Bai Hong recalled, seeing that all of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators were using Spiritual Treasures, and asked himself why they weren’t using Immortal Artifacts.
