Emperor's Domination

Chapter 5719: Die For The Dao

“Splash!” The giant machine stood up, causing another tsunami.

“Buzz.” Energy vectors engulfed it, resembling self-immolation. However, the cracks on the plates melted and fused together. None could see any damage now - a stark contrast to its beaten former prior.

“Just like that?” Many cultivators found this astonishing.

“Auto self-healing.” An ancestor murmured.

This wasn’t rare for powerful cultivators. Emperors and monarchs were resilient and could heal after being reduced to ashes, provided that their dao fruits or heaven’s wills along with the true fate were still available. The rebuilding process wouldn’t take long as long as these key items weren’t damaged as well.

Nonetheless, seeing a machine regenerating automatically was new and magical to them.

“Looks like you have mastered this art from the Machine Epoch.” Li Qiye said with a smile.

“Overlord!” The machine had a serious tone.

Those controlling the machine were overwhelmed emotionally since they had access to key secrets. They understood that an overlord stood before them.

They had seen overlords from a distance but never fought one previously. The mysterious guest of Celestial Court was an overlord - or so they speculated for a long period.

Today, another overlord was so close to them and they could watch him in action.

“It is an honor to fight you, Sacred Teacher, worthy of losing our lives.” The machine said loudly.

These apex cultivators returned to being hot-blooded youths. The desire to challenge this powerful being ignited, longing for a battle of life and death.

Ever since they reached this level, they haven’t felt this way before. Fighting other apex cultivators became commonplace and numbing.

Seeing a supreme overlord was different. Perhaps this was the rarest opportunity in their lifetime. If they could somehow survive, they would find a chance to break the limit. Given the potential reward, they had no regrets about risking their lives.

“How courageous.” Li Qiye smiled.

“This is how the dao journey should be! Sacred Teacher, please give us pointers.” The machine laughed and expressed the heroic ambition of the controllers.

Back during their dao debut, they diligently sought the dao due to the limitless potential. Each battle made their blood boil.

They were broad-minded and optimistic, always sprouting the same phrase - learning the dao in the morning and dying in the morning is just fine.

They lost this feeling in time, only wanting to survive instead. Having the privilege of facing an overlord today rekindled their passion for cultivation.nove(l)bi(n.)com
