Dominator Emperor

"Steady yourself!" Li Qiye’s deep voice boomed. It was like a morning bell and an evening drum, a sharp rap on the head that jolted the agonized Chi Xiaodao back to his senses. Like a sacred anointment, the sound shocked him into clarity. He desperately tried to stabilize his mind, but his entire body still trembled and convulsed in extreme pain.

At this moment, Chi Xiaodie couldn’t help but clench her fists, so nervous she nearly forgot to breathe.

Then, as if performing a magic trick, Li Qiye’s right hand manipulated the threads of fire that had pierced the ancient turtle. The fiery lines flowed and intertwined within its body, weaving into a profound and mystical rune in the blink of an eye. This rune seemed to be branded into the deepest part of the turtle’s soul, glowing with a brilliant light!

"Rise!" The moment the profound rune was complete, Li Qiye held the Furnace God in his left hand and activated the medicinal liquid with a Medicine Dao Skill. Instantly, the cry of a phoenix echoed as the liquid transformed into a flying phoenix. It carried all the remaining essence from the Medicine Cauldron and soared up, charging toward the ancient turtle.

In that instant, the mystical rune woven from threads of fire erupted with a powerful aura and a dazzling light. The magical rune instantly devoured the charging phoenix, swallowing all of the medicinal liquid and absorbing its Medicinal Power at an unbelievable speed.

BANG! After absorbing the essence of the medicinal liquid, the rune suddenly swelled, taking root inside the ancient turtle’s body.

"Go!" Li Qiye commanded the medicinal dragon. With a long cry, the dragon released the Overlord Lion and shot toward the rune rooted in the ancient turtle. The entire dragon, formed from medicinal liquid, was instantly absorbed by the rune.

Once it had absorbed the essence of all the medicinal liquid, the rune was like a sapling that grew into a towering tree in the blink of an eye. In that moment, the rune expanded to the size of the ancient turtle and fused with it completely.

"ROAR!" At that moment, having lost its opponent, the Overlord Lion let out a ferocious roar and pounced on the ancient turtle, intending to bite it. Just then, the ancient turtle suddenly opened its eyes. They glowed like a pair of Divine Torches.

SLAM! The ancient turtle suddenly swiped down with a giant claw. With a loud crash, it pinned the Overlord Lion to the ground. The Overlord Lion roared furiously, trying to get back up, but it couldn’t move an inch under the suppression of the giant claw.

HUMMM— Divine Light flowed across the ancient turtle’s body. The surging light gathered and interwove upon its shell, transforming into a small patch of azure sky that the turtle carried on its back. A turtle shouldering the heavens! At this moment, the ancient turtle’s aura was majestic and vast, as if it had transformed into a Divine Turtle capable of holding up the Nine Heavens.

THWACK! Just then, the ancient turtle swatted its giant claw again, instantly slapping the Overlord Lion back into the body. The Overlord Lion shuddered, wanting to charge out, but ultimately stopped. It stared at the ancient turtle with visible apprehension. The heaven-shouldering aura radiating from the turtle was enough to make the Overlord Lion fearful, and it receded back into the body.

"Success." Seeing this, Li Qiye nodded. The tormented Chi Xiaodao also began to slowly calm down. Now, the ancient turtle accompanied his True Destiny, shouldering the azure sky, looking as serene and composed as a true Divine Turtle.

Watching this scene unfold, Chi Xiaodie was both shocked and overjoyed. ’He actually succeeded! This is simply unbelievable!’

CRACKLE! Just as Chi Xiaodie let out a sigh of relief, lightning suddenly descended from the heavens. A bolt as thick as a water vat rained down from the sky, aiming straight for Chi Xiaodao, intent on striking him dead.

"A heavenly tribulation!" Seeing the lightning bolt as thick as a water vat, Chi Xiaodie’s face paled as she cried out in alarm.

"Rise!" Li Qiye bellowed. The Ten Thousand Furnace God instantly opened its massive maw, and its deepest Fire Source surged forth. In that instant, the Fire Source transformed into a gigantic, unfathomably deep mouth that seemed capable of devouring anything. CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE! The lightning bolt flickered, and before Chi Xiaodao and his sister Chi Xiaodie could even react, the Fire Source had devoured the descending Thunder Tribulation completely.

After devouring the lightning from the heavens, the giant mouth-like Fire Source still seemed unsatisfied as it slowly retreated back into the depths of the furnace.

"A mere minor tribulation dares to strike?" Li Qiye remarked nonchalantly after the Fire Source devoured the lightning.

Any decent Furnace God has experienced heavenly Thunder Tribulations. As for the Ten Thousand Furnace God, it went without saying. It had weathered countless tribulations, including the most powerful ones imaginable. A tiny little Thunder Tribulation like this was a mere appetizer, not even enough to get stuck between its teeth.

"It is done." As the Chi siblings stood there in a daze, Li Qiye put away the Medicine Cauldron, released Chi Xiaodao, and spoke with the same nonchalant air.

For a moment, Chi Xiaodie just stood there, completely stunned and unable to come back to her senses for a long time. The scene had been too shocking. Fate alteration—such a profound art of the Medicine Dao. Countless Pharmacists had spent their entire lives unable to even touch upon this domain. Even for a Legendary Pharmacist, successfully altering one’s fate was an extremely difficult feat.

Although her brother’s procedure was a Promotion, not a true fate alteration, it was still fraught with immense difficulty. It required an extremely profound and powerful level of Medicine Dao cultivation and mastery of incredibly arcane techniques. The entire process could not have the slightest error. When faced with a problem, there could be no hesitation, as the window of opportunity was fleeting. Once the moment was missed, the procedure would be ruined, and it could even lead to death.

And yet, a matter that would challenge even a Legendary Pharmacist was performed by Li Qiye with such nonchalance, as if it were a trivial affair.

At this moment, Chi Xiaodao’s body crackled and popped like roasting soybeans. When he opened his eyes, they were bright and full of spirit. His Blood Qi had become even more majestic, so much so that one could hear the sound of it flowing, like the roar of raging waves.

"It really worked! My Blood Qi feels like ten thousand galloping horses!" Chi Xiaodao was ecstatic. Before, his Blood Qi had been stagnant and his Dao Practice had come to a halt, stuck at the God Nurturing Realm. But now, he could feel the Blood Qi stampeding through his body like a herd of ten thousand horses, majestic and overwhelmingly powerful.

"This is the advantage of the Lion Dominator Body—abundant Blood Qi," Li Qiye said, nodding after assessing Chi Xiaodao’s condition. "Now that your True Destiny can suppress your physique, breaking through to the Prince realm will be no problem at all."

Chi Xiaodao came back to his senses and took a deep breath. He then prostrated himself on the ground and said with immense gratitude, "Brother Li, this little brother will never forget the grace you’ve shown in giving me a new life. In the future, if you ever need me, just say the word. I would not hesitate, even if it meant spilling my guts on the ground."

Li Qiye accepted Chi Xiaodao’s grand gesture of respect and nodded. "Get up. Go and enjoy the gifts brought by your Lion Dominator Body and Celestial Turtle Destiny."

Chi Xiaodao bowed again and again, overjoyed, the gloom in his heart completely swept away. Although he was a cheerful person, having his Dao Practice stuck at the God Nurturing Realm, unable to advance a single step, had been a heavy burden. But today, that nightmare was finally over. For him, it was as if the sun had broken through the clouds, and he felt incomparably relieved.

Chi Xiaodie stood to the side, silent. Before this, she had once thought Li Qiye was a swindler. When he first spoke of altering fate, she had been even more certain he was just spouting arrogant nonsense, completely ignorant of the immensity of the heavens and earth. And yet, a feat that she—and many others—believed to be impossible had been accomplished in his hands with such nonchalant ease, as if it were nothing at all. It seemed that in his hands, anything in the world could be done so simply, without any difficulty whatsoever.

Chi Xiaodao’s successful fate alteration immediately sent shockwaves through the upper echelons of the Lion Roar Sect. The sect’s elders found it utterly unbelievable. However, after examining Chi Xiaodao’s condition, they confirmed that his fate had indeed been successfully altered. This revelation left the Lion Roar Sect’s elders completely stunned.

Upon learning of this, the Lion Roar Sect elders who cultivated the Medicine Dao immediately came out of their seclusion. Casting aside their pride and putting on a thick skin, they came to ask Li Qiye for his guidance on the matter of fate alteration.

"A minor technique, that is all," Li Qiye replied to the elders’ inquiries, dismissing them with a single, nonchalant sentence.

’A minor technique, that is all.’ Hearing such a nonchalant statement, the Lion Roar Sect elders could only smile wryly, left speechless for a long time. ’This is fate alteration we’re talking about! How many Pharmacists spend their entire lives without ever being able to touch upon such a domain? Only a Legendary Pharmacist could accomplish such a thing!’

Although his words sounded incomparably arrogant, the Lion Roar Sect elders had to admit that Li Qiye was qualified to say them. To be able to alter fate at such a young age meant his future was boundless. He was absolutely destined to become a Medicine Emperor in the future!

Since Li Qiye was unwilling to offer guidance on the art of fate alteration, the Lion Roar Sect elders didn’t dare say anything more. Such a Secret Technique would never be passed on to outsiders by any Pharmacist or sect.

However, one of the Lion Roar Sect’s elders still shamelessly sought Li Qiye’s guidance on Medicine Dao Cultivation. One must understand, this elder was a prominent figure with high attainments in the Medicine Dao himself. Yet, in front of Li Qiye, he was as devout as an apprentice, showing the utmost sincerity as he visited time and time again to ask for his teachings.

"Fine. For the sake of your ancestor, I will give you a pointer or two." In the end, Li Qiye agreed to offer this elder some guidance on his Medicine Dao Cultivation.

Li Qiye had no interest in teaching the Medicine Dao to outsiders. However, this elder was truly sincere, and Li Qiye, remembering that the Lion Roar Sect’s ancestor had once served him with unwavering loyalty, decided to make a special exception and offer him some guidance.

Hearing Li Qiye’s words, the elder bowed again and again, absolutely ecstatic. He would have gladly become Li Qiye’s apprentice.

When Li Qiye began to guide him in his Medicine Dao Cultivation, the elder was completely shaken. Li Qiye’s pointers brought him a sudden epiphany, and problems that had previously been incomprehensible were now resolved with ease.

What shocked the elder even more was how Li Qiye’s eloquent teachings on the methods of the Medicine Dao led him into its true sanctuary. It was only at this moment that this Pharmacist truly understood what was meant by the Medicine Dao. Everything he had practiced before was merely a trivial path in comparison.
