Emperor's Domination

“All supreme overlords must want to become immortals.” Orchidcore asked Coldblade: “Senior, is that also your path? Is there no other?”

For the young geniuses, the imperial realm was still far. Perhaps they would never be able to reach it.

The same couldn’t be said for the pseudo-emperor Coldblade. She had a chance to obtain a primal anima and become a primal ancestor. Extinguishment would be the next trial before the overlord. At the very least, she had a minor hope of reaching the next stages.

“Most likely, but I do not know for sure about other paths.” Coldblade answered earnestly.

“I do not think so.” Mu Hu always got straight to the point.

“I agree, it has to be the imperial path. The desolate god path does not reach far enough.” Princess Chen said.

“Talking about your ancestor?” Mu Hu laughed.

“As if it’s not the case for your frontier as well.” Princess Chen glared at him.

“Everlasting Jiang.” Everyone thought about a particular cultivator.

“Are you saying there is nothing after heaven-slayers?” Li Xian was the weakest and didn’t quite follow the conversation.

“We don’t know.” Orchidcore said.

The group turned to Coldblade, wanting to learn more.

“You are a disciple of Desolate Frontier, you should ask Senior Jiang regarding this matter.” She told Mu Hu.

“I have never seen him before.” Mu Hu scratched his head and said: “Have you seen the ancestor of God Frontier?”

“Far-dao.” Princess Chen murmured.

“I have met the ancestor.” Coldblade didn’t mind the sensitive question since they were students of Orchid Academy.

“Is it possible for them to become overlords?” Orchidcore asked.

“My ancestor told me Senior Far-dao has walked the farthest since he created this path.” Princess Chen said softly.

“Sure, but that’s not always the case. Senior Jiang and Immortal Bronze Palace’s Fairy Companions might not be behind.” Coldblade said.

“Senior Far-dao said this?” The group said.

God Frontier had soared in power, rumored to be as strong as Desolate Frontier, Immortal Gate, Seventy-two Skyraisers, and Trinity Kingdom.

It had two great existences - Far-dao and Tenacious.

Far-dao created an everlasting path long ago, something similar to what Desolate Ancestor had done. Rumor has it he had made it to the end of this path and could break through at any moment.

Another accomplished cultivator of this path was Everlasting Jiang, or Jiang Ba. Despite being a latecomer, he was believed to have caught up to others.

The everlasting path was similar to the desolate god path. The final result was becoming a heaven-slayer by obtaining a sacred source and using it as a fuel for life. Two famous cultivators included a couple known as Fairy Companions.

Everyone was envious of them since they were loving husband and wife, cultivating and adventuring together. They were the first to become heaven-slayers in Three Immortals under the tutelage of Desolate Ancestor.

They became stronger than Far-dao, Tenacious, or Jiang Ba despite being juniors. This might be due to their immaculate connection with each other and the help of an immortal in Desolate Ancestor.

However, they were one step away from the overlord stage just like the others.

Primal overlords must surpass extinguishment while heaven-slayers must survive a process known as return.

Because they haven’t done it yet, everyone believed the imperial path to be the superior one. The desolate god path or the everlasting path couldn’t make it far enough.

“No one knows the path forward.” Coldblade said.

“So there is still hope for those on other paths.” Monk Zhu murmured.

“But it doesn’t apply to you since you want to become a Buddha.” Princess Chen said.

“Amitabha.” Monk Zhu placed his palms together.

“We’re overthinking it.” Orchidcore smiled wryly and said: “We might not even become desolate gods, why care about the path beyond? We’re being arrogant right now.”

“True, one step at a time, and it only gets harder.” The princess smiled wryly.
