Chapter Ten: Tremble, Human Pet!

As the scene unfolds, the previously serene realm of the immortals is suddenly pierced by the sound of trumpets!

 

Outside the realm, terrifying figures emerge, their overwhelming presence shaking the gates of the immortal domain.

 

The Immortal King defending the realm engages in an unprecedented battle with the Immortal King from another domain.

 

This battle causes the heavens to shatter and the laws to break, with even the void beginning to collapse.

 

[As one of the most powerful Immortal Kings in the realm, the Eternal Immortal King naturally cannot stand idly by. He charges alone into the Immortal Domain to force the Immortal King to retreat.] Witnessing the Eternal Immortal King single-handedly confronting the alien race, his indomitable aura inspires countless celestial cultivators.

 

The image on the screen shifts.

 

The Eternal Immortal King's figure draws a blood-red river across the heavens as he flies towards the gates of the immortal realm.

 

At this moment, his celestial armor, forged from phoenix blood and golden-red, is shattered, and his aura fluctuates wildly, unstable.

 

An ancient bell above him envelops the Eternal Immortal King, emanating immense vitality to heal his wounds.

 

As the figure draws nearer, it becomes clear that the Eternal Immortal King is holding a severed head.

 

"Is that... Puzhu?!"

 

The Immortal race hovering outside the realm gasps in shock.

 

Puzhu is a top-tier being in the Immortal Domain, comparable to the Immortal Kings of the celestial realm.

 

To see him slain directly by the Eternal Immortal King, with his head removed, is shocking!

 

The Immortal Kings outside the realm display expressions of apprehension. The strength of the Immortal Kings is so formidable that the chances of being defeated in a one-on-one battle are too great.

 

Fortunately, the number of Immortal Kings in the realm is limited.

 

The Immortal King, with a cold gaze, declares, "Immortal Kings of the celestial realm, for the sake of your people, please come out and fight."

 

Before the Eternal Immortal King can speak, a black dog standing atop the Immortal Gate speaks with human-like speech.

 

"What are you? You think you're worthy of having Immortal Kings come out for battle?"

 

The Immortal King, astonished at being reprimanded by a dog, coldly regards the Black Emperor as if it were a mere dead dog.

 

"Insulting the king! A mere True Immortal Realm dog dares to be so insolent, are you not afraid of death?"

 

The Black Emperor, enraged, rises and, with arms crossed, sneers, "You are the dog, and your entire family are dogs! I am a disciple of the Immortal King; you are honored to address me as Black Emperor. Bow three times and I might spare your life!"

 

"Rogue!"

 

Unable to contain his cold demeanor, the Immortal King's face flushes with anger. As the supreme ruler of the Immortal Domain, he has never been so insulted, especially by a mere dog!

 

"You are the rogue! Not bowing to the Emperor means your fate is sealed! We shall meet again on the path of reincarnation!"

 

"You black dog! If we breach the celestial realm, you shall meet a miserable end!"

 

"Be silent! Your words may be skillful, but your strength is no match for the Eternal Immortal King, who can defeat you effortlessly! If you continue to be insolent, Puzhu's head will be displayed at the Immortal Gate for all to see!"

 

The Immortal King's face contorts with rage. This dog is outrageously shameless!

 

Remaining silent seems like conceding to this wretched dog, but continuing the argument would be beneath his dignity and futile.

 

Moreover, if Puzhu's head were indeed displayed at the Immortal Gate, it would be the greatest disgrace to the Immortal Domain, a responsibility he cannot bear.

 

For a moment, the Immortal King finds himself in a most awkward predicament.

 

"...This dog's specific strength is hard to determine, but its skill in distorting truth and turning the tables seems to have reached perfection."

 

"Arrogant and shameless, a source of universal outrage; indeed, that is no exaggeration."

 

"To act so boldly in the face of an Immortal King far superior in strength; I cannot imagine the scene if it were someone of similar strength."

 

Ordinary cultivators, facing someone far stronger, would be rendered speechless, their hearts filled with terror.

 

Yet this black dog, emboldened by its association with the Immortals, dares to berate an alien ruler, making it a rare anomaly.

 

"To not bow to the Emperor is to forfeit one's fate; seeing your shadow on the path of reincarnation... Why does this phrase seem to carry a subtle aura?"

 

"When uttered by a mighty figure, it has a certain resonance, but from this black dog, it feels oddly out of place."

 

With the first scene appearing, the image of the Black Emperor has deeply ingrained itself in the minds of the multitudes.

 

Cultivators across the realms are beginning to wonder when this dog will be vanquished.

 

...

 

[As the great battle intensifies, many Immortal Kings and Immortal rulers fall. The Eternal Immortal King, after numerous assaults on the Immortal Domain, ultimately perishes at the hands of the alien rulers.]

 

[The Black Emperor, gravely injured during the battle, is eventually sealed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King, entombed within the shattered celestial realm.]

 

In the end, the entire ancient celestial domain is shattered into nine heavens and ten earths.

 

The rulers of the Immortal Domain have slain all the Immortal Kings.

 

The Black Emperor, sealed by the Six Paths Immortal King before the final battle, falls into slumber.

 

[After the Black Emperor is sealed, as time progresses and the ancient era fades, the time reaches the Chaotic Ancient Era.]

 

[In the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Black Emperor awakens, breaking the seal. However, he has lost much of his memory and his strength has diminished significantly, barely a fraction of his former self.]

 

On the screen, the Black Emperor emerges from a desolate grave, looking around dazedly.

 

His mind holds only fragmented memories.

 

One day, the Black Emperor encounters his first person since his awakening in the barren hills.

 

"Fatty, are you planning to dig up my grave with that shovel?"

 

The Black Emperor glances sideways at the shovel-wielding Cao Yusheng.

 

Cao Yusheng: "..."

 

Having encountered the grave's owner before even starting to dig, what should he do?

 

The Black Emperor circles Cao Yusheng, sniffs, and suddenly exclaims, "What are you hiding within? Did you steal it from me?"

 

The scent the Black Emperor detects is from the famed Third Killing Formation of the immortal battlefield, which had even suppressed Immortal Kings.

 

Despite the memory loss, the Black Emperor is resolute.

 

This belongs to him.

 

This fatty is now his pet!

 

Hmm... what is a pet? The term feels strangely familiar, as if often used in the past.

 

Cao Yusheng looks at the black dog as if it were a fool.

 

"Who the hell stole from you..."

 

The Black Emperor waves a paw, cutting off Cao Yusheng.

 

"You came to dig my grave, so you must be aware of my esteemed status.

 

Here's the deal: I won't make things difficult for you. Considering your arduous cultivation, hand over all your treasures. Then swear an oath to become my pet, and I will overlook the grave-digging incident."

 

Cao Yusheng is stunned.

 

What kind of shameless dog is this, running loose without a leash?

 

He has seen shamelessness before, but never to this extent.

 

"Is this dog looking for a beating? Did it get its brain damaged down there?"

 

"Woof! Little fatty, who are you calling a foolish dog? I am..."

 

"Fuck you!"
