Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2620

Chapter 2620

“Buzz . ” The portal opened, revealing a pulsing light . However, no one has come out just yet .

The runes intertwining inside the portal made its direct connection to the clan apparent .

“Rumble!” The runes on the mound continued to spread until it covered the nearby mountain range .

Next, pavilions and other buildings erected from the ground . They were made of runes and empowered by the strongest imperial blessings . This area quickly became the land befitting that of an emperor .

The crowd shuddered in response . The emperor wasn’t here yet; he could be located at the Mu Clan or any remote region in Imperial Lineage .

In the far reaches of space, he just needed to throw an imperial banner towards the vicinity of Mingluo City . This allowed him to open a portal connecting the clan to Stone Harmony System .

Outside of possessing a great treasure, this also showed the emperor’s power and might, causing many Eternals to feel dread .

More importantly, he wasn’t here in person yet but his grand dao laws have already built a fully-empowered dao land here - allowing the dao to spread without shackles .

“Anything below the realm of an emperor is only rotten wood . ” One Eternal lamented .

Even the Eternals with similar battle prowess to Puresword True Emperor were shaken .

This particular phrase made sense to a certain degree since a True Emperor should be stronger than an Eternal, provided that the gap between the two sides isn't overwhelming .

After all, becoming an emperor meant opening twelve palaces, something above the reach of Ascenders and Eternals .

When a Grand True God opened their third palace, they would become an Ascender, a first-level True God . A second-level Ascender would have four palaces, a fifth-level would have five, and so on and so forth…

After becoming a ninth-level Ascender, they would have eleven palaces . At twelve, they would turn into Eternals with a new world opened up for them .

Though they were called “Eternals”, this didn’t imply immortality or supremacy - hence the phrase above .

True Emperors simply had access to greater techniques and new grand dao unavailable to Eternals . This resulted in better future potential and overall power .

An Eternal had twelve palaces just like a True Emperor, but there existed a fundamental difference . Emperors’ palaces were lit up, allowing for a better concentration of true energy and grand dao .

The admiring spectators were envious of the creation ability of this emperor .

“Looks like Puresword True Emperor has five palaces now . ” One person speculated based on the grand dao aura permeating the dao land .

“Right, the fifth one should be lit up now . I heard he was a four-palace emperor already before entering his most recent isolated cultivation . ” One old expert said .

“Hmm, that’s when they have access to Perpetual Weapons . ” An Eternal sighed with envy .

“From pondering immortality stems the creation of true weapons . ” An even stronger Eternal said: “We need to be at the amaranthine level to create them . ”

“Not all Amaranthine Eternals can do so, many need to be at the epoch level first before crafting something like this; the success rate can be low too . ” An ancient Eternal added .

So after lighting up four palaces, emperors became qualified to ponder the mysteries of eternal life . With that, they could start crafting Perpetual Weapons . Of course, a long and arduous path lay ahead of them .

“That’s normal . Talented men can become Eternals but still don’t have Perpetual Weapons . ” One more Eternal said with a tinge of regret .

Not all Eternals were equal . They were graded on a temporal scale . example, a regular Eternal could go back by one generation in the river of time . If they could go back by one hundred generations, they would become a Centurial Eternal…

Thus, the levels were from lowest to highest: One Generation Eternal, Centurial Eternal, Millenium Eternal, Myriad Eternal, Ceaseless Eternal, Amaranthine Eternal, and Epoch Eternal . [1]

“Well, anything below the realm of an emperor is only rotten wood, this phrase is only for us . For the emperors, they might be looking up to the progenitors instead . ” Another commented .

“True, there are levels for progenitors too, the grand dao is so long . ” One more smiled wryly .

For people all over the world, becoming an Eternal was already incredible enough . However, after actually getting to this level, they realized that there was still a long way to go .

“The dao requires longevity . We need to become an Everlasting before we can talk about truly being eternal . ” An old Eternal in the bunch slowly said .

“Everlasting indeed . ” The rest murmured .

Becoming an Everlasting is the pursuit of many Eternals, their lifelong goal . Say, an emperor’s goal was to become a progenitor . An Everlasting was an equivalent to a progenitor .

“That’s probably when we’ll be qualified to talk about Perpetual Weapons and the rumored world of immortality . ” One Eternal said .

Some believed that an Everlasting could potentially take down a progenitor . This gave Eternals hope in catching up to the progenitors .

Of course, this topic wasn’t easy either for them . Becoming an Everlasting required incredible talents . All the previous Everlastings in history were amazing geniuses .

The juniors nearby were in awe of this conversation as well . They thought that their ancestor was already powerful and famous enough in Imperial . This was their first time hearing about the various levels in this realm . Plus, above the realm of Eternals was Everlasting . It was a throne up in the clouds, impossible to reach .

They finally understood why people said the grand dao was long and arduous .

In their mind, becoming an Eternal was an impossible test already . But for Eternals, becoming an Everlasting was the real achievement . Maybe there were differences among Everlastings too .

This was the case for progenitor as well . Their power level varied despite reaching the grand dao .

“Buzz . ” The portal on the mound slowly opened again, interrupting the various conversations .

A youth walked out - a stranger to many visitors . However, the natives of Mingluo knew him quite well . He was Yang Tingyu of Luo Faction, previously defeated by Li Qiye .

“Oh? That brat is Puresword True Emperor’s disciple in name, the strongest expert in Stone Harmony . Becoming the emperor’s disciple is a good indicator of his abilities . ” People recognized him .

After all, Puresword True Emperor was too famous . Even just recruiting an in-name disciple was a big deal . That’s why many knew about Yang Tingyu .

An army with great momentum followed right behind him . Not a single weakling was part of this group . These were the experts of the Mu .

1 . One gen will just be Eternal . Ceaseless is one million, amaranthine is ten million . A literal translation would have been One Million Generation Eternal and Ten Million Generation Eternal . Not good for readability and brevity later
