Chapter 1199: Then Find a Way to Deal with Him First
Seeing that the Nirvana Master did not believe, Emperor Poyun continued, "We also cannot confirm if that Lu Chen is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, but the barrier of the Great Sum Dynasty he established is so formidable that even Great Emperors of the Ninth Layer cannot breach it."
The Nirvana Master still sneered and said, "The barrier of our Holy Land can also withstand the attacks of Great Emperors of the Ninth Layer."
The Nirvana Master is a person from the previous era, so he could never believe in the existence of a reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. As for the mentioned barrier, as long as it's from those ancient Holy Lands, it can generally withstand attacks from Great Emperors of the Ninth Layer, so what's new about this?
The Nirvana Master did not understand why Emperor Poyun would bring up such a matter.
Seeing the disdainful look on the Nirvana Master's face, Emperor Poyun added, "Even Emperor Ye Hun and Emperor Xuanlin tried everything but still could not break that barrier."
Upon hearing Emperor Poyun's addition, the Nirvana Master's brows immediately furrowed.
Emperor Ye Hun and Emperor Xuanlin are the left and right arms of Emperor Shenwu. Although their strength is not as great as Emperor Shenwu's, they are among the top-ranked Great Emperors of the Ninth Layer in the universe.
If even both of them used all their strength and could still not break through the barrier of the Great Sum Dynasty, it indicates that this barrier is indeed extraordinary.
Even those top-tier Holy Land barriers, including the one from Nirvana Holy Land, cannot perpetually withstand the continuous bombardment from powerhouses like Emperor Xuanlin and Emperor Ye Hun; sooner or later, cracks will appear in the barrier.
But then again, a barrier is just a barrier. Even if the Great Sum Dynasty's barrier is extremely sturdy, the Nirvana Master still doesn't believe Lu Chen is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.
Perhaps the barrier of the Great Sum Dynasty was acquired by Lu Chen from those otherworldly beings in the Outer Domain; it's not unlikely that such beings possess various formations capable of resisting Great Emperors of the Ninth Layer.
Thinking of this, the Nirvana Master continued, "Continue speaking about that Lu Chen."
Emperor Poyun did not immediately speak; instead, he compiled all the information about Lu Chen into a Memory Pearl, then extracted it from his mind. Seeing the blue Memory Pearl floating in front of him, the Nirvana Master did not hesitate and directly scanned the information within the Memory Pearl using his Divine Thought.
After reading the contents of the Memory Pearl, the Nirvana Master furrowed his brows; this Lu Chen seems to have some potential.
If it was just about the barrier of the Great Sum Dynasty, that wouldn't be much, but Lu Chen managed to grow rapidly in such a short time and even annexed the entire Lingzhao Super Star Domain Group, which would indeed be impossible without some capabilities.
Although the Lingzhao Super Star Domain Group is relatively remote in the universe, its area is still vast, and the Qi Fortune of the Great Sum Dynasty now seems to have reached a terrifying level.
Thinking about the imperial destiny, the Nirvana Master suddenly realized something. He had been close to taking that step, but suddenly his path was blocked again.
In the previous era, it was rumored that only one Heavenly Emperor could emerge in a universe. When someone's Qi Fortune became exceedingly strong, their chance of becoming the Heavenly Emperor increased. Once someone's Qi Fortune became too powerful, it cut off other Great Emperors from the path to becoming the Heavenly Emperor.
The Nirvana Master now feels that Lu Chen has cut off his path to becoming the Heavenly Emperor.
Upon realizing this possibility, the Nirvana Master's face darkened. He didn't expect that after closing himself off for tens of thousands of years, this era would give rise to such a formidable talent.
This Lu Chen absolutely cannot be allowed to survive; compared to Emperor Shenwu, he poses a greater threat.
Seeing the Nirvana Master immersed in silence and not speaking, Emperor Poyun asked from the side, "Ancestor, what should we do now?"
After thinking, the Nirvana Master said, "Since that Lu Chen poses the greatest threat, we should first find a way to eliminate him."
"The Shenyue Dynasty and Tianji Pavilion are probably already discussing how to deal with the Great Sum Dynasty. We can send emissaries to Tianji Pavilion and the Shenyue Dynasty to gather some information."
Although Emperor Shenwu also poses a threat to the Nirvana Master, Lu Chen's rise is simply too rapid. He has grown to this level in less than a thousand years, which is faster than the development of the Nirvana Holy Land.
If the Great Sum Dynasty continues to expand and allows Lu Chen to keep growing, the position of the Heavenly Emperor will likely fall to Lu Chen, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, Lu Chen must die; only with Lu Chen's death can the Nirvana Holy Land confidently face Emperor Shenwu.
Most importantly, the Nirvana Master also discovered a more serious problem from Emperor Poyun's Memory Pearl: Lu Chen has claimed to be the Heavenly Emperor for a long time, yet this universe's Heavenly Dao has never issued punitive measures.
If other Great Emperors dared to call themselves Heavenly Emperor, they would likely have been destroyed by the Heavenly Dao long ago. From this perspective, even if Lu Chen is not the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, he possesses the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor, a seed of the Heavenly Emperor, so this universe's Heavenly Dao has not acted against him.
This is very unfair to other Great Emperors; while others are figuring out how to take that step, Lu Chen, not even a Great Emperor of the Ninth Layer, has already been designated by this universe's will as the Heavenly Emperor.
Just from this single aspect, the Nirvana Master is indignant, so no matter what, Lu Chen must disappear from this universe.
The Nirvana Master then instructed Emperor Poyun to dispatch emissaries to Tianji Pavilion and the Shenyue Dynasty, planning to join forces to confront the Great Sum Dynasty.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. At present, eliminating Lu Chen is the core interest of the Nirvana Master.
Once Lu Chen is eliminated, they can figure out how to deal with the Shenyue Dynasty afterwards.
Time flowed, and several more years passed.
The Mysterious Moon Palace successfully relocated to the Central Star Domain, stationed in an edge star domain of the Central Star Domain. Now, the edge star domains of the Central Star Domain are no longer as bustling as before; in the past, even the edge star domains had Immortal Boats coming and going.
Nowadays, only a few scattered Immortal Boats remain, the entire void appearing very desolate and empty.
All the major forces in the Central Star Domain are preparing for war. Some weaker forces know that if they stay, they will only serve as cannon fodder, so they have simply distanced themselves from the Central Star Domain.
Of course, most small forces are unaware of the matters concerning the Era Transition Land, so they have chosen to distance themselves from this zone of trouble.
The top-tier forces are different, especially those ancient Holy Lands; even if they don't rank highly in strength, they have no intention of leaving the Central Star Domain.
The atmosphere of war has already enveloped the entire Central Star Domain.
Red Rain World.
In a certain tavern, Lu Chen's clone sat inside, drinking wine and listening to the cultivators in the tavern discussing matters of the Nirvana Holy Land.
