Chapter 713: Emperor Suppression Art

“Who could stop the heavens from slas.h.i.+ng one’s lifespan? Not to mention G.o.dkings, even True G.o.ds with the blood of the heavens running through their veins wouldn’t be able to.” Li Qiye responded dismissively.

“G.o.dking” was a simple t.i.tle for top existences among cultivators. At the Virtuous Paragon realm, each of the individual levels had a certain t.i.tle.

These were divided into the following levels from weakest to strongest: great power’s ancestors, legendary masters, eternal existences, and apex existences.

Great power’s ancestors were normally ordinary Virtuous Paragons. Legendary masters were the the strongest among these ordinary paragons.

Eternal existences were different. To be able to earn the t.i.tle of eternal, these paragons must be able to earn a divine t.i.tle or be able to establish their own country.

As for apex existences, there were several theories. Some people considered G.o.d-Monarchs to be apex existences while others considered G.o.dkings to be at this level.

Of course, there were also those who considered G.o.d-Monarchs as eternal existences. There was also a distinction with this t.i.tle. If the monarch was bestowed the t.i.tle by an Immortal Emperor, then this monarch could be considered an apex existence.

So to speak, if a G.o.d-Monarch personally dubbed themselves with this t.i.tle or if it was flattery from low level cultivators, then they would only be considered an eternal existence.

Real G.o.dkings were even more extraordinary. They were top level existences without superiors! A real G.o.dking wasn’t only bestowed the t.i.tle by an Immortal Emperor, they must also be recognized by the nine worlds as well as the invincible generals and officials of that time! This type of G.o.dking was the real deal!

The truth was that a real G.o.dking would only appear twice or thrice each generation. As for those who called themselves “G.o.dking” or were referred to as such by others, they were most likely unqualified for this t.i.tle.

For instance, the Allpine Treefather. Without an Immortal Emperor bestowing the t.i.tle upon him, he decided not to call himself a G.o.dking. However, he was truly qualified to become one since he possessed the power of a G.o.dking.

“Indeed, even G.o.dkings are helpless against the high heavens.” The treefather said with a tinge of emotion: “When the heavens wants to end life, not even a True G.o.d can stop it, let alone a G.o.dking. In this world, only an Immortal Emperor would be able to withstand the heavens.”

“True G.o.d” was another t.i.tle. Just like its name suggests, they are real G.o.ds that did not belong to the human race, the demon race, or any other contemporary race!

Legend states that True G.o.ds were deities unknown to the rest of the cultivators. They were from a secret race that outsiders did not know of. People believed that they had the bloodline of the heavens, so they were destined to be deities upon birth! Even charming spirits, who were referred to as the heaven’s favored children, couldn’t compare to True G.o.ds!

True G.o.d was not just another name for supreme power, it also represented a very mysterious existence.

If a G.o.dking and a True G.o.d were to have the same strength, the same treasures, and the same merit laws, the True G.o.d would have a great advantage due to their heavenly bloodline. They had advantages that the rest of the cultivators in this world lacked.

Li Qiye smiled and said: “Not necessarily. Those who can withstand the heavens are not limited to Immortal Emperors. A few supreme lords can defy the heavens as well.”

“Supreme lords…” Even an apex existence like the treefather sighed after hearing this t.i.tle: “The ones who are able to tread this world freely, able to a.s.sail even Immortal Emperors.”

Although the treefather was currently the highest existence in the Stone Medicine World and even respected by a lineage like the Alchemy Kingdom, he was still without confidence when Emperor a.s.sailants were brought up.

These were existences that very few people knew about. In fact, how many people in this world actually managed to come into contact with one?

There were several theories regarding these supreme lords. Some considered G.o.dkings to be supreme lords, but many people did not support such a claim.

There were quite a few who considered existences capable of a.s.sailing Immortal Emperors to be supreme lords. This rang especially true for powerful cultivators; in their eyes, only existences capable of harming Immortal Emperors could be called supreme lords, experts capable of treading the world freely!

The treefather emotionally sighed. Even he didn’t dare to call himself a supreme lord or an Emperor a.s.sailant.

In the midst of his wishful thinking, the treefather calmed down and gently shook his head while revealing a gentle smile to say: “Since Young n.o.ble Li seems so confident, you must surely have a method to solve my problem.”

Li Qiye was as calm as ever. He smiled and said: “The high heavens wished to end life, so it sent down its power. I know that a terrifying calamity was left behind in your root. If this was in the past, then it would be very problematic. Even if it could be dealt with, it would require a lot of methods and even a thousand years of effort. However, it seems that lady luck is smiling upon you. Right now, I have a shortcut to deal with your problem.”

Although the treefather had lived for millions of years, he was still excited and quickly asked: “Nothing could be better then! What is Young n.o.ble Li’s condition?”

“There is no need to rush negotiations. Before that, I have a question for Treefather.”
