Emperor’s Domination

Chapter 6839: Relay Race

No one has been this far before, not even Goldsilver Tree. This was due to the mountain’s blockade.

In reality, even without the physical nature of the mountain, no one could reach this place. The light here was intense and shot straight at the dao heart.

Not to mention emperors and ancient ancestors, not even overlords and immortals could endure this. It could shake their dao heart and reject entry. This so-called Illumination kept Golden Lamp standing all this time.

Mang had tried to devour this place but since he had fallen, the dao heart nearly destroyed him and quelled future attempts.

As she observed the distant dao heart, tears flowed down her cheeks. This Illumination was unbreakable even for immortals. At its core was a fair-sized primordial tree, giving the impression of being the center of Stygian.

This tree was special in that it exuded dao heart light instead of primordial light. The source of the light was the blazing flame dancing around the tree. Even the leaves were on fire.

Instead of harming the tree, the flames harmonized with it. Moreover, temporal arrays wrapped around the tree, allowing it to appear anywhere on the river of time. Thus, the tree she saw might not be its present version.

The tree itself, the flames of the dao heart, and the temporal source were all just physical manifestations. The true key point was the indomitable dao heart.

“So this is Illumination.” She didn’t think she would have the privilege of looking at it.

“The dao heart’s flames, ignited by Golden Immortal.” She murmured.

According to legend, when the Golden Immortal was on the brink of defeat, the great being ignited his dao heart and burned it for eternity.

Of course, nothing could last forever. The flames weakened with time.

“It’s a relay race.” Li Qiye sighed.

“Right, the flames were ignited again by the primordial tree.” She said.

Long ago during Heaven Pit, the power of the high heaven crashed down on everything. Stygian was also affected, as were the dao heart’s flames.

The inhabitants lived anxiously, worrying that the flames might be extinguished. Fortunately, the next major event – the dao proliferation from Li Baye – blessed Stygian.

A primordial tree grew in the core and harmonized with the flames, allowing it to burn bright again.

“Fairy of Time also ignited this dao heart too.” She said.

She was a legend in Golden Lamp. No one knew her origin and background. It was just that she descended with a temporal river and saved the flames, hence her title. She also possessed a dao heart like no other and chose to ignite it here in Golden Lamp.

“Fairy of Time.” Li Qiye smiled after hearing this title.

“The temporal arrays must have been done by her.” Since she hadn’t reached the right cultivation, she didn’t know the stage and significance of dao heart illumination.

Upon seeing the arrays, she had the feeling that even without the flames, the temporal arrays would continue to illuminate their world.

“Just how determined was her dao heart?” She couldn’t help but praise.
