Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

After listening to Empress Tianhong's words, Lu Chen's anticipation for the Outer Domain journey grew increasingly stronger.

Like Empress Tianhong, he was very concerned about the Chaos Beast, and he too had never heard of a Chaos Beast.

From the mouth of that otherworldly being, he learned that in the eyes of those beings from the Otherworld, people of this universe might all be the minions of the Chaos Beast.

Therefore, the otherworldly being who fought with Empress Tianhong couldn't understand why these humans would stand on the side of that so-called Chaos Beast.

As Lu Chen moved, he pondered, what kind of creature is this Chaos Beast?

He searched through his known memories but still had no clue; there really was no such thing as a Chaos Beast in this universe.

Could it be that those otherworldly beings meant the Heavenly Demons?

Forget it, it's better not to think too much. Once he arrives in the Outer Domain, he can simply capture an otherworldly being and ask them about it.

With this thought, Lu Chen no longer continued to ponder and started busying himself with his proper affairs.

Seeing that Lu Chen stopped asking her questions and instead focused on business, Empress Tianhong's blushing cheeks turned even colder.

This rascal came to ask me things, but only asked a few questions and now he's done?

What kind of questioning is this, he clearly has something else in mind.

Forget it, we already have a child together, let him do as he pleases.

Empress Tianhong did not fuss with Lu Chen, but later used the Mysterious Female Technique to suppress him variously.

A month passed quickly, and just before leaving the Daxia Dynasty for the Outer Domain, Lu Chen suddenly found his realm's bottleneck loosening.

This surprised Lu Chen a bit; the Daxia Dynasty had expanded such a vast territory and accumulated such strong Qi Fortune, yet his realm had not loosened at all during this time.

Unexpectedly, before heading to the Outer Domain, having a spat with Empress Tianhong caused his realm to loosen. It seems that breaking through realms really can't be rushed; going with the flow allows it to break through even faster.

At this moment, within Empress Tianhong's palace, she sensed the skyrocketing momentum emanating from Lu Chen, and her expression became extremely serious.

This scoundrel actually broke through at this moment!

Now, their realms have become equal again. This won't do. When they go to the Outer Domain next, she must unleash wanton slaughter to ensure her realm surpasses Lu Chen's once more.

Although due to the Artifact Spirit Contract, she currently has no way to deal with Lu Chen, at least surpassing him in realm can give her a sense of satisfaction.

If her realm were inferior to Lu Chen's, she would feel even worse. As a strong-willed Empress, she absolutely won't allow her power to be lower than that of this scoundrel, Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, at this moment, looked down at Empress Tianhong with a smile and said, "Honghong, thanks to you this time, I was able to break through to Great Emperor Sixth Layer Realm in such a short period."

"I must say, your Mysterious Female Technique is the best practiced among all my women."

Empress Tianhong coldly glared at Lu Chen without speaking.

Lu Chen continued, "Time is about right, we should be heading out."

As he spoke, Lu Chen slowly stood up, and seeing him rise, Empress Tianhong asked curiously, "Is your main body going?"

Lu Chen's main body was already in the Sixth Layer Realm, and coupled with the Spirit Gathering Array having no negative effect on him, once his main body enters the Outer Domain, basically no one would be his match.

Lu Chen said, "No need."

Having just broken through, he found that his Divine Soul could now control one more clone; however, Lu Chen still had some concerns.

If his clone leaves the Outer Domain, will it still be under his control? His clone is different from others; his clone is more like a puppet, controlled by the same Divine Soul at the same time.

He can achieve this in this universe, but the Outer Domain seems not to be part of this universe anymore. If the clone enters the Outer Domain, and the connection to his Divine Soul gets severed, then the clone is useless, reduced to a mere corpse.

Lu Chen planned to disregard this for now. Once he arrives in the Outer Domain, he'll know if it's feasible. If he cannot control them in the Outer Domain, he'll split a strand of his Divine Soul to create a true clone to replace him in going to the Outer Domain.

Currently, the most important thing is to create a new clone. After breaking through, he found that his Divine Soul had grown notably stronger, and should now be capable of controlling even more powerful clones simultaneously.

At this point, Lu Chen mobilized Creation Power, conjuring a Great Emperor's physical body out of thin air, and this Great Emperor's physical body had reached the Fourth Layer Realm.

Feeling the Fourth Layer Realm aura emanating from this body, Empress Tianhong felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She was well aware that Lu Chen's clones differed from others; even if his clone died, it wouldn't damage Lu Chen's Divine Soul, making them akin to puppets.

Lu Chen can now control Fourth Layer Realm clones, allowing him to handle matters without personally attending to them, making it unbelievably safe.

In situations like Lu Chen's, the main body could casually hide away and rely on clones to wear down enemies to death.

Empress Tianhong asked him, "Could you teach me your Puppetry Technique?"

Empress Tianhong was unaware that Lu Chen used Creation Power to create clones; she believed it was Lu Chen's more advanced Puppetry Technique. Previously, Lu Chen had passed on Holy Tier Puppetry Technique to her.

But the effects of Puppetry Technique vary greatly in different hands. Although she could make puppets to be remotely controlled, she couldn't achieve the lifelike vividness Lu Chen did, nor did it feel capable of being directly transmitted to the Divine Soul.

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "This isn't a mere Puppetry Technique, but a Divine Skill I created based on Puppetry Technique, requiring Creation Power. You are on the Slaughter Path, and won't be able to learn it."

Upon hearing Lu Chen, Empress Tianhong didn't speak further; she didn't doubt if Lu Chen was deceiving her, for such heaven-defying magic indeed shouldn't be something everyone can wield.

Were everyone able to master such magic as Lu Chen's, this universe would surely be overturned.

Once Lu Chen finished speaking, his Fourth Layer Realm physical body began to move; with a wave of his hand, a black-golden dragon robe draped his body, and Lu Chen then headed out of Empress Tianhong's chamber.

After Lu Chen's clone departed, his main body vanished as well. Seeing both of Lu Chen's bodies leave, Empress Tianhong snorted coldly.

Lu Chen was becoming more cynical with her, no longer bothering to comfort or, at the very least, take a bath together after finishing.

Even though they possessed Great Emperor bodies, able to cleanse themselves of impurities with a mere magic, bathing was more about cultivating feelings.

In the past, Lu Chen would still do those things, but now Lu Chen pulls up his pants and walks away.

Empress Tianhong didn't think much of it; leaving meant leaving, and she didn't need Lu Chen to cultivate feelings with her.

Soon after, Empress Tianhong also rose from the soft couch, raised her hand, and a phoenix robe with a gold-threaded red base appeared on her.

Then, she too left her chamber, heading toward the Heavenly Emperor Hall.
