Dominator Emperor

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist (Part 1)

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was a famed genius in the Great Middle Realm. By the tender age of fifteen, he was already governing a territory for the Treasure Sacred Upper Country, commanding an army of a million and rendering illustrious service.

With such a magnificent bearing, Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist stood out from the crowd wherever he went, truly exceptional.

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was the successor of the Holy Heaven Sect. Some said he was the biological son of the Treasure Sacred Upper Country’s Human Emperor, while others claimed he was a disfavored son. There were even those who said Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was not the Baosheng Human Emperor’s son at all.

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s origins were quite mysterious, and his Dao Practice was utterly Defying Heaven. It had long been rumored that he had already achieved the rank of Prince. Although he had not been officially ennobled as one in the Treasure Sacred Upper Country, he already possessed the status of a Prince and was even respected by many who held the title.

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist strolled over. Gallant and dignified, radiating an imposing Emperor’s Qi, he naturally drew all eyes. Even though both he and the gray-robed elder by his side carried themselves with a low profile, he still stood head and shoulders above the rest. It was impossible not to notice him.

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist strolled forward and stepped onto the edge of the cliff. His gaze focused, and it was as if all the stars in the sky had gathered within his eyes. A sharp glint of Dao Radiance shone from his pupils, seemingly capable of piercing the very Void.

At this moment, Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist stared at Li Qiye and said, "A junior at the mere Yun Body Realm, do you think you can run rampant through the kingdoms just because you have the Nine Saints Demon Gate backing you? The great era has already dawned; crouching tigers and hidden dragons are everywhere, and geniuses emerge in droves. A commoner like you is nothing more than the faint, fleeting glow of a firefly."

Although many of the great personages present could tell that Li Qiye’s Dao Practice was shallow, they hadn’t bothered to look too closely. Now that Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist had pointed out that Li Qiye was only at the Yun Body Realm, many of them exchanged glances in disbelief.

To many of the cultivators present, the Yun Body Realm simply couldn’t be taken seriously. To even have a footing here, one needed to be at the Bathing Nirvana or Celestial Essence realm at the very least.

"Crouching tigers and hidden dragons? Geniuses emerging in droves?" A corner of Li Qiye’s mouth curled up. Completely at ease, he drawled, "Dragons and tigers are nothing but mounts for me to ride. Geniuses? Hardly worth mentioning. Before me, even a once-in-a-myriad-ages genius must grovel. To me, geniuses are just withered bones paving my path to the apex of the Great Dao! The Great Dao is eternal, but my Dao Heart alone is invincible! So tell me, what’s a genius worth?"

"Such arrogance—" After Li Qiye’s outrageous declaration, the onlookers exchanged glances. One cultivator couldn’t help but mutter, "Where did this ridiculously conceited fool crawl out from?"

Li Qiye’s words earned him many scornful glares. He was boasting to the high heavens, daring to utter such madness as "What’s a genius worth?" Even the most peerless genius wouldn’t dare make such a wild claim!

"The Great Dao is eternal, but my Dao Heart alone is invincible!" Just then, a crisp, pleasant voice rang out in praise. "Well said! What’s so amazing about being a genius? It’s nothing more than being born with a better physique!"

The sudden remark made many of the cultivators exchange glances. To say something like that at this juncture—wasn’t that a direct challenge to Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist?

Everyone followed the voice and saw a horse-drawn carriage that had appeared at some point, hovering in the Void. The carriage itself was rather unassuming and wouldn’t attract much notice. The driver was just an old man wearing a felt hat.

However, when many people saw the insignia on the carriage, their expressions changed. "The Treasure Pillar Saint Sect!" a cultivator exclaimed.

Treasure Pillar Saint Sect. Upon hearing this name, many were visibly stirred. The "Pillar" (柱) in the sect’s name referred to the physical body—in other words, one’s physique!

The Treasure Pillar Saint Sect had a resounding reputation throughout the Great Middle Realm and even the entire Human Emperor Realm. Although the sect had never produced an Immortal Emperor, they were renowned for cultivating the highest number of Great Success Physiques in the Great Middle Realm, if not the entire Human Emperor Realm. Rumor had it that the Treasure Pillar Saint Sect possessed a vast collection of Body Techniques, arguably the finest in the Great Middle Realm. Some even whispered that they held an Immortal Body Technique!

It was once rumored in the Great Middle Realm that several Great Sages from the Treasure Pillar Saint Sect had come incredibly close to achieving Immortal Body Great Success. Because of this, many speculated that the sect truly did possess an Immortal Body Technique.

Seeing the carriage, Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist wasn’t angered in the least. He gave a dashing smile and said, "Bao Jiao, did you come all the way to Demon’s Back Ridge to lend your husband a hand, or are you just here to be difficult with me?"

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s words caused another stir. Many people instantly guessed the identity of the woman inside the carriage. "It’s the Princess of the Jade Xi Territory!" one person exclaimed, his expression changing.

"I heard there’s an arranged marriage between the Princess of the Jade Xi Territory and Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist," a cultivator whispered. "The Jade Xi Territory proposed the match to the Holy Heaven Sect years ago, betrothing the princess to him."

"Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist is the supreme talent of this generation, his genius is unparalleled. Countless successors of Great Sects and princesses of kingdoms wish to marry him. It’s only natural for the Treasure Pillar Saint Sect to seek a marriage alliance with the Holy Heaven Sect. They’re clearly betting on Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s future," remarked a cultivator who was in the know.

"You think far too highly of yourself! Who said I was your fiancée?!" A cold voice shot back from within the carriage. Unquestionably, the woman inside was extremely displeased with Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s words.

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist laughed dismissively. "Bao Jiao, marriage is a serious matter decided by our elders. Since your Treasure Pillar Saint Sect has betrothed you to me, you should learn to be a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"Get lost—" The Princess inside the carriage instantly flew into a rage. A figure shot out of the carriage, streaking toward Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist like a rainbow across the sky.

Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist, however, remained perfectly composed. With a single wave of his hand, an inescapable net seemed to form. Radiating pure Emperor’s Qi, he manifested a giant hand that easily blocked the strike.

However, the woman who had burst from the carriage was incredibly fierce and fiery. She instantly unleashed a dozen techniques, each one fierce and overbearing. Her attacks flowed without end as her Blood Qi surged in ever-stronger waves.

Yet, even facing this barrage, Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist handled her attacks with ease. With a flick of his sword-fingers that produced a sharp RING, he transformed his fingers into a sword. Each of his movements was profound and vast, carrying the air of a grandmaster, effortlessly neutralizing her offensive!

BANG! Finally, Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist raised his sword-fingers vertically. A Senluo gateway of myriad laws manifested. With a single press of his finger-sword, which seemed to contain a universe of phenomena, he easily repelled the woman. She was, without a doubt, far from being his match.

Only when the woman steadied herself did the crowd get a clear look at her. Upon seeing her face, many gasped in admiration; they were utterly captivated.

The woman before them appeared to be twenty-three or twenty-four, and she was an absolute peerless beauty. Her jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her shapely eyebrows were like distant mountains, and she had a delicate, oval face with almond-shaped phoenix eyes and lips like a stroke of vermilion red. She was utterly captivating; those phoenix eyes of hers shimmered like autumn pools, and her every frown and smile was soul-stealing, a bewitching and enchanting sight.

What truly made one’s head spin was her figure. Even though she wore loose robes, they failed to conceal her breathtakingly full bust, high and firm like twin peaks, so round and ample they seemed ready to burst from the fabric.

Her willow-like figure was graceful, with a waist so slender it looked as if it could be encircled by a single grasp. That tiny waist, however, only served to accentuate her equally heart-stopping, perky hips. They were full and rounded, and even her loose skirt couldn’t completely hide the tantalizing curve of her backside.

Even more mesmerizing were her long, elegant legs. They were perfectly sculpted and shapely—not an inch too thick, not an inch too thin.

In terms of sheer beauty, perhaps she wasn’t the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was undoubtedly a bombshell who could make a man’s head spin—the very definition of a femme fatale that would make any man want to pull her into an embrace and possess her at first sight.

The sight of this woman drew sighs of amazement from everyone present. She was simply too captivating. With her bewitching face and devilish figure, she was the absolute ideal of a goddess in every man’s heart!

"Bao Jiao, you have only just ascended to the Heroic Hero realm. You’re still far from being my opponent!" Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist said with a suave smile, his eyes unable to stop themselves from greedily lingering on her for a moment longer. "Stop throwing a tantrum. Just be a good girl and come with me."

"Bullshit!" This beautiful bombshell, however, had a temper as fiery as her looks. She snapped, "In your dreams!"

"It seems your husband will have to take matters into his own hands and subdue you personally!" Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist’s eyes narrowed as he sent a massive hand grabbing toward the woman!

"Get lost!" the woman shrieked, lunging at Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist once more. This woman was the princess of the Jade Xi Territory, Chen Baojiao. She had been betrothed to Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist by the Treasure Pillar Saint Sect, but she fiercely resisted the marriage, even if she was powerless to decide her own fate.

"Good. Very good," Li Qiye said, his eyes locked on Chen Baojiao from the moment she appeared. He finally gave a slight nod. "I’ve decided I want this girl."

Seeing Li Qiye staring so intently at Chen Baojiao, Li Shuangyan, who was beside him, grew irritated. She shot him a glare and said huffily, "Even if you are a lecher, do you have to be so obvious about it?"

Li Qiye shot Li Shuangyan a sidelong glance. "Shuangyan, your view of things is too superficial. I was complimenting her for being a fine prospect, not for her beauty. Appearance, in my eyes, is nothing but a skin bag. Even a woman with the beauty of a Celestial Immortal is someone I wouldn’t waste my resources on if she lacked potential!"

Li Shuangyan couldn’t help but glare at him again, a bizarre feeling welling up inside her. This boy before her, only fourteen or fifteen and younger than anyone else present, was critiquing women with the air of a worldly, seasoned old man.

BANG—BANG—BANG! The battle between Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist and Chen Baojiao was nearing its conclusion. Although Chen Baojiao’s talent was excellent, there was still a massive gap between her and Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist. If he hadn’t been holding back, she would have been defeated long ago.

The duel between Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist and Chen Baojiao was a sight that filled countless onlookers with envy. Though many young elites were jealous, they had to admit that only a heaven’s chosen son like Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was worthy of a beauty like Chen Baojiao.

"Bao Jiao, come back with me!" Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist declared as he spread his great hand. Chen Baojiao was now completely outmatched. Before his massive palm, she was like a helpless moth, unable to escape the closing net.

Seeing this, the old man driving Chen Baojiao’s carriage narrowed his eyes, but he remained seated, unmoving.
