Limitless Empire

## Origins

In an ancient era, there existed an endlessly powerful empire, which stood on top of the cultivation world for hundreds of millions of years. It spread over myriad worlds in the universe and unceasingly kept expanding. Leading this great nation was a man called Emperor Limitless. He was said to have reached the peak of cultivation, and many still consider him the strongest being to have ever existed. Of course, many also believe that the System has allowed the powerhouses of the Multiverse to reach further heights compared to the ancient cultivators.

Emperor Limitless had already reached the peak of cultivation long ago and instead set his boundless ambition upon his empire. His goal was to turn all creation into his empire, to control all life in existence. Therefore, he waged wars, fighting for millions of years, the empire ever expanding. The battlefields grew more numerous, and the empire actually started to run out of soldiers.

Trillions of lives were lost in the battle across millions of worlds, and the empire had problems producing new powerful warriors. Almost all cultivators were forced into the battle, leaving few competent teachers behind to train the next generation.

Emperor Limitless and a few of his closest generals and magistrates came up with a daring solution. They wished to create a synthetic being that would connect with every single cultivator in the empire and train them into strong warriors. A cosmic teacher that would lead the empire to further heights, as no potential genius would go unnoticed, and no cultivator would train inefficiently due to bad teachings.

The creation of this entity took an astounding time, and everyone who worked on the project died, generation after generation, from old age, except Emperor Limitless with his almost infinite longevity. The resources that were poured into the project can’t even be calculated, and just a small fraction of it would cause a bloody storm to erupt, even on an A-ranked continent. But finally, they were done. The last step was to activate it and attach it to the Heavenly Dao itself, allowing it to spread to all space. Billions and billions of the strongest of the Ancient Empire gathered at their main continent, and together infused this construct larger than a sun with energy. The activation was a success, and the cosmic being spoke its first words to the world **Insufficient energy**. Those were the first two words of the System, and every cultivator in existence heard it. What followed were the Dark Ages.

Something had gone horribly wrong with the being, and it forcefully started absorbing energy. First the cultivators who were part of the activation were absorbed until they died. Even the emperor was almost killed. He escaped after paying a terrible price, but the System wasn’t done and started absorbing the ambient energy from the universe. The absorption continued, and soon once glorious cultivation havens were turned into wastelands due to lack of spiritual energy.

Even worse, the Dao of the Heavens had somehow become clouded, and progression on the path of cultivation became impossibly hard. All the powerhouses in the Multiverse were furious, as Emperor Limitless’ experiment essentially cut off their path of progression. With the empire being weakened and all forces banding together, the Ancient Empire crumbled. Emperor Limitless was slain as well, as the System had stolen most of his power already. The chaotic times continued for a million years, and the sparse energy and obscured Dao became the new norm. Emperor Limitless was remembered as the sinner of the world of cultivation. **Book 1 Chapter 77** *as told by Alyn Azh’Rezak*

## Identity of the Limitless Emperor

Perala Janodrok, the Void Priestess, states that Emperor Limitless was actually Laondio Evrodok but Zac's bloodline visions also show Karz suggesting he either has a mixed bloodline or the Emperor's identity is not so clear cut.

## Power

The ancient era was a different time, The star of the Limitless Empire was almost blinding. It was like an insatiable beast, consuming everything in its path. They had accumulated strength far beyond what you can imagine. Even today, nothing comes close. The Emperor and his trusted generals travelled the dimensions, seizing one powerful treasure after another and slaying everything that had staked a claim on the Dao.

Some were powerful enough to resist their conquest for a while. But the Empire's expansion could only be delayed, never halted. Even the greatest beings were forced to compromise. The Primo was one of them. He was forced to pay a painful price in return for the Emperor turning his blade in another direction. **Chapter 1,040**

The Limitless Empire called D-grade Golden Core and based their titles on the concepts of discovery, gathering, purification, and dissolution. A Late Hegemon would be a Pure Lord, whose focus is getting their core ready to form an Inner World. **Ch 1,147**

## Makeup

The original inhabitants of the Limitless Empire were Selvari. Far from all Selvari were satisfied with the changes brought from the Technocrat Codex. The Technocrat Inheritance was simply too alien compared to the natural path of cultivation. Many renounced the Technocracy, especially those belonging to orthodox sects and clans. They fled their homeland and migrated to remote galaxies in a bid to return to traditional cultivation. **Chapter 1,064**

## Generals

**Indra Eyler** - "I was called Indra Eyler, but the world knew me as the Emperor's Spear. Right or wrong, I followed my beliefs to the end." **Chapter 1,121**

## Remnants

The most powerful factions of the Limitless Empire collapsed almost immediately when their undertaking was finished. The System's awakening killed off too many patriarchs and great generals. But out of the ashes, seven phoenixes rose. A few clans acted more decisively than others, turning on the Empire the moment they saw which way the wind blew. They attacked their masters and pillaged the treasures of the Limitless Empire. Not much later, the great beings of the Multiverse realized what Emperor Limitless had done and descended on the Limitless Empire with fury. But by that point, these seven clans were long gone, having stolen the riches and hidden in various corners of the Multiverse.

They only emerged much later, when the energy had returned to the Multiverse. And they were more powerful than ever. Using their stolen foundation, they are all incredibly powerful factions to this day. Except for one clan that was exterminated for some reason. If they were the top tier powers of the Empire, they would have been present for the System's awakening and absorbed with the rest of the leaders. These seven clans were either middling factions or upstarts. But make no mistake, that was then. Today, they're all genuine A-grade factions with unfathomable foundations. **Chapter 949**

These factions formed the Imperial Heavens.
