Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 3197

Chapter 3197: Chapter 3197: Martial Dao

Li Qiye only chuckled and didn’t dwell on the topic . Destroying a system to him wasn’t a big deal .

“You’re peerless, Senior . ” Cloudcrossing Progenitor praised: “We’ll never be able to catch up to you on the path towards the dao . ”

“Yes . ” Martial Ancestor joined in: “I think only one or two people at the expanse are at your level . ”

“Your martial dao is fleshed out enough to be its own school . ” Li Qiye smiled at the muscular man .

“I’m turning back again to the rugged path, that’s why I’m starting from the basics, building up this bag of skin . ” Martial Ancestor begrudgingly said .

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing . ” Li Qiye replied .

“If this body is useful and can endure, there is still hope . Otherwise, all of my efforts would have been in vain . All of my fortunes and resources are in it now, it’s a huge risk . ” Martial Ancestor responded .

He used martial arts to reach the dao back then . In the beginning, he trained mortal martial arts and eventually abandoned them for the dao .

However, after becoming a progenitor and training at the expanse, he once again embarked on the path of martial arts with a focus on the physique . He wanted to refine his body into the strongest weapon and container - excelling at both offense and defense on top of containing many grand dao .

“Martial art and the dao are the same things . ” Li Qiye said: “All laws start from a single thought or thing, even the tiniest creation and the weakest thought can become a supreme grand dao . Your body is a grand dao that can accommodate everything once you reach that level . ”

“Thank you for your words of encouragement, I will keep going . ” Martial Ancestor bowed .

Using regular martial arts to reach the dao wasn’t easy . Training this art again after becoming a progenitor was even harder .

He spent all of his vitality and resources on rebuilding his body, a different path from the other progenitors .

“Brother Wu’s determination is something else, that’s why his future height will be far greater than mine . ” Cloudcrossing Progenitor added .

“Brother Yun, please don’t tease me, I’m simply risking it all for a bet, who knows if this will work? It’s only an experiment . ” Martial Ancestor shook his head, lacking confidence .

“Yes, we can’t compare to the wise sages of the past and are nearing the end so we need to take shortcuts in order to break through . ” Cloudcrossing replied: “I just don’t have the same boldness as you . Picking the martial dao again is an amazing choice . ”

He was telling the truth . Though they were quite powerful, there were others above them such as the members from the Decemvirate . They would never be able to surpass these characters since they were inferior in all aspects .

Since these ten served as the peaks, they could see where they stood as well as their limit . They had no chance of surpassing the Decemvirate, let alone breaking through the limit of the grand dao .

That’s why Martial Ancestor made a bold move - picking martial arts . This was a path unwalked .

Of course, regular mortals have turned into cultivators by perfecting martial arts . However, he was doing so while being a progenitor .

The regular path of orthodox cultivation wouldn’t allow them to defeat the top ten progenitors . On the other hand, the martial dao might open an unprecedented path, a new height .

Martial Ancestor might not be able to beat the ten with this path, but at least he still created something new . Just surpassing himself could be considered a success .

“Life is unpredictable, who knows, maybe I’ll need your help in the future to stay alive again . ” Martial Ancestor said .

These two have seen and experienced enough to make light of death by this point .

“You must be chasing the darkness here, Senior . ” Cloudcrossing asked Li Qiye .

“You can put it that way, it’s just out of convenience though, a minor task while I train and kill . ” Li Qiye smiled .

Though he put it so nonchalantly, these two smiled wryly at each other . They looked around and saw the carnage .

What if he were to get serious? Maybe a tsunami of blood would engulf all of the expanse . They didn’t dare to think about it much longer .

“I’m sad to say that we couldn’t help with that . ” Martial Ancestor said .

“It’s not your fault . You have only entered the martial dao again when Zither Empress mobilized, not enough time to accomplish anything . ” Cloudcrossing revealed .

Darkness invaded the expanse in the past . Zither Empress and the other progenitors formed an alliance against it .

Martial Ancestor was too weak back then to join the battle . Cloudcrossing also stayed behind in order to protect him .

“This will end eventually, the expanse belongs to Three Immortals . We will never let it fall to foreign invaders . ” Martial Ancestor said while gazing towards the horizon .

“Soon . ” Li Qiye had a calm expression .

“It’s a shame that the mastermind behind this had disappeared without a single trace . Many have searched to no avail . Some are still looking . ” Cloudcrossing put on a helpless smile .

The war back then was shocking . Numerous progenitors fell as a result . These two didn’t participate so they didn’t know the actual outcome .

However, the dark lord disappeared afterward along with many brilliant progenitors . Later on, they found out that some progenitors have died while others chose the darkness . The latter group also stopped showing up .

Their side kept on searching but couldn’t figure out the dark lord’s hiding location . The expanse was just too vast . A powerful being of that level wouldn’t have a hard time hiding at all .

“An opportunity will arise unless he wants to be a turtle forever, no longer wanting to divide the spoils . ” Li Qiye smiled faintly .

“I hope I’ll be able to join that battle and contribute to this world . ” Cloudcrossing said .

“Count me in as well . I’ve lived long enough already . ” Martial Ancestor laughed .

Both of them sounded quite heroic at this moment .

“Rumble!” Suddenly, loud quaking came from below, culminating in monstrous tsunamis .

A terrible aura oozed out of the grotto . “Boom!” The water inside the grotto surged to the sky like a spring .

“Burden . ” Both progenitors recognized the aura .

“Finally came out . ” Li Qiye stood up and laughed: “It hid in there earlier . I’m full now, time to kill it too . ”

The two knew that Burden was dead for sure today regardless of how powerful it was .

A while later, dark energy surged out from the grotto . This dark energy instantly swept through the stars above, causing them to fall down like shooting stars . This was a testament to Burden’s might .

“Not bad, it survived one punch earlier too . Okay, time to take it down . ” Li Qiye smiled at this sight .
