#1240 - Then I will help you
The Great Emperor Taikang did not continue to dwell on the matter of being controlled. He could also sense that this divine soul imprint would only take effect when they wanted to betray Lu Chen, and would not affect them under normal circumstances.
Now that they had surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty, they should prioritize the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty. Lu Chen had just said that the Great Xia Dynasty would soon advance into the Central Star Region, which reminded Great Emperor Taikang of the demonic power he had sensed earlier.
Subsequently, Great Emperor Taikang said to Lu Chen, "I wonder if Your Majesty has sensed a powerful demon entering the Central Star Region earlier."
Great Emperor Taikang thought to himself that since Lu Chen had appeared before them, Lu Chen had most likely sensed it as well.
Lu Chen said, "I sensed it. It's likely the Great Emperor Shenwu."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone was stunned. Great Emperor Shenwu?
The demon that exuded demonic power was Great Emperor Shenwu?
Soon everyone reacted, it was not impossible. After all, they had just seen a Ninth Realm Great Emperor turn into a demon before their eyes.
However, that demon was ultimately easily dealt with by Lu Chen.
Great Emperor Taikang tentatively asked, "Now that Your Majesty knows that the demon is Great Emperor Shenwu, I wonder if Your Majesty plans to attack the Shenyue Dynasty next?"
Lu Chen said, "The matter of Great Emperor Shenwu will be put aside for now. Our main task now is to continue expanding."
Regardless of whether they were currently inside the belly of the Chaos Beast, Lu Chen had to rely on the dynasty's fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty to become stronger.
It was now too difficult for him to get his wives and concubines pregnant. Even using a Celestial Realm clone, he couldn't get his wives and concubines pregnant.
This was clearly not a problem of realm, but some kind of rule was restricting him.
At first, he thought it was because his realm was too high that his wives and concubines couldn't get pregnant. Later, he deliberately created some bodies with lower realms, but these bodies also couldn't get his wives and concubines pregnant, so he couldn't continue to blame his realm being too high.
He was, after all, a Great Emperor who controlled the power of creation. A Great Emperor who controlled the power of creation couldn't create small lives, which was clearly not right.
Fortunately, he had become strong enough now, and he no longer had much reliance on getting stronger through having children.
What Lu Chen was most worried about now was not Great Emperor Shenwu, but Xuantian. He didn't know where Xuantian was hiding.
He would not have peace of mind until Xuantian was dead.
Great Emperor Taikang then said, "If Your Majesty does not plan to attack the Shenyue Dynasty, you can first try to take down the Qingyue Holy Land. Most of the people in the Qingyue Holy Land support me. As long as I return to the Qingyue Holy Land and solve the Qingyue Master, then the Qingyue Holy Land and the star regions controlled by the Qingyue Holy Land will all belong to the Great Xia Dynasty."
Hearing Great Emperor Taikang's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment. They did need a teleportation point in the core area of the Central Star Region. With a teleportation point, it would be more convenient for them to attack the Central Star Region in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said, "Okay, I will immediately send a large army to attack the Qingyue Holy Land."
Seeing Lu Chen agree to his proposal, Great Emperor Taikang was very happy. He had long disliked the Qingyue Master, and now he finally found an opportunity to get rid of the Qingyue Master.
He believed that with Lu Chen's strength, even if the Qingyue Master kept shrinking in the Qingyue Holy Land and mobilized the ancient formations of the Qingyue Holy Land, he would not be a match for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen kept his word. He did not hesitate and directly asked Great Emperor Thunder to take dozens of Great Emperors and Great Emperor Taikang with them to the Qingyue Holy Land.
At the same time.
Outer Domain.
Those top forces did not know about the Four Great Forces, but many Great Emperors from the top forces were planning to return.
Most people, after entering the Outer Domain, found that the Outer Domain was empty and there was nothing, let alone the treasures that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion said could allow Ninth Realm Great Emperors to take that step.
More and more Great Emperors realized that they had been played by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Soon, many Great Emperors also understood why the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion would spread such false information. The only force in the entire universe that could make the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion go to such lengths to set up a situation was the Great Xia Dynasty.
After figuring out that all of this was a scheme set up by the Four Great Forces led by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Emperors of those top forces cursed and went to the junction of the universe and the Outer Domain, preparing to return to the main universe.
At the same time.
Within a certain star region.
A purple immortal ship was slowly drifting in the void. Xuan Qingyun, dressed in a purple veil, stood at the front of the immortal ship, looking in the direction of the Central Star Region, and murmured, "It seems it's coming to an end."
"I didn't expect that he could turn defeat into victory after being refined by the Chaos Beast for so many years. Then, I will give you a hand."
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark black power was released from Xuan Qingyun's body. This power quickly spread throughout the universe. When some cultivators felt this dark power, they directly turned into demons.
At the same time, Shenyue Dynasty.
After transforming into a demon, Great Emperor Shenwu returned to the Shenyue Dynasty and was besieged by the Great Emperors of the Shenyue Dynasty. As a result, Great Emperor Shenwu just raised his hand slightly, and all the Great Emperors were suppressed on the ground by the pressure emanating from him and could not move.
Great Emperor Shenwu's scarlet eyes looked at the Great Emperors lying in front of him, and he said coldly, "You don't even recognize me!"
"Or do you want to rebel?"
Hearing Great Emperor Shenwu's voice, the Great Emperors present were stunned. How did Great Emperor Shenwu become a demon?
They had just felt that this person looked a bit like Great Emperor Shenwu, but he exuded a strong demonic power. They thought that a newly born demon had come to attack the Shenyue Dynasty, but they did not expect that it was Great Emperor Shenwu who had returned.
A Great Emperor lying on the ground mustered up the courage to ask, "Your… Your Majesty, what is this…"
Great Emperor Shenwu said coldly, "I was schemed against by Xuantian, so I became like this, neither human nor ghost."
"Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Since I am not dead, then let Xuantian know what the consequences will be for scheming against me."
As soon as Great Emperor Shenwu finished speaking, he felt a dark power sweep through his body. This dark power actually resonated with the demonic power in his body. For a time, the demonic power in his body became even stronger, and his realm was also rapidly increasing.
Great Emperor Shenwu was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Although he knew when he was in the Outer Domain that he could easily break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm after transforming into a demon, he did not expect that it would so quickly and easily raise his realm to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
Feeling the majestic power in his body, Great Emperor Shenwu couldn't help roaring, "Heavenly Emperor! Heavenly Emperor! I have finally become a Heavenly Emperor!!!"
Immediately, a Heavenly Emperor's pressure swept through the entire universe. For a time, all the cultivators in the universe felt this terrifying pressure.
