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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's reminder, the restless hearts of the Great Emperors calmed down slightly.

What their Heavenly Emperor said was correct; the Heavenly Demons of the Shenyue Dynasty were very powerful, with quite a number of Emperor-level Heavenly Demons, perhaps not fewer than those of the Daxia Dynasty.

Of course, the power of the Heavenly Demons was one aspect, but another was that the Heavenly Demons of the Shenyue Dynasty were different from those they've encountered before, who only knew how to devour humans. Most Heavenly Demons of the Shenyue Dynasty were transformed cultivators, smarter than ordinary Heavenly Demons and knowledgeable in human strategies.

So even if their power had a suppressive effect on the Heavenly Demons, those demons would certainly think of other methods to reduce this suppression, like setting up traps or formations.

If the Great Emperors of the Daxia Dynasty treated those Heavenly Demons as just some star-eating demons, they might suffer a loss.

Seeing the Great Emperors in the hall calming down a bit more, Lu Chen continued, "Of course, there's no need to worry too much either."

At this moment, a Great Emperor asked, "Your Majesty, are we deploying the entire army this time?"

Since the Shenyue Dynasty had almost occupied half of the Central Star Domain, they thought that this time the Daxia Dynasty would have to put in all their effort to wipe out the Shenyue Dynasty.

Lu Chen said, "Not for now. I plan to send only five hundred Great Emperors and two thousand starships."

To be honest, Lu Chen was somewhat worried that Xuan Tian might suddenly appear at this time.

The remaining five hundred Great Emperors could use the Spirit Gathering Array to allow him to instantly gain the power of a Heavenly Emperor.

Leaving five hundred Great Emperors, even if Xuan Tian came, he would still have the strength to fight. If all the Great Emperors were sent out and Xuan Tian took the opportunity to attack the Daxia Dynasty, it would be troublesome.

Strangely, ten years had passed, and Xuan Tian still hadn't come to find trouble with him.

Xuan Tian surely knew he was continuously expanding, and as the Qi Fortune of the Daxia Dynasty grew thicker, the number of Great Emperors increased, and his strength grew stronger. By then, it wouldn't be so easy for Xuan Tian to kill him.

Why hasn't Xuan Tian taken action all this time? What is he waiting for? This was the part Lu Chen couldn't figure out.

Fortunately, Xuan Tian hadn't immediately attacked the Daxia Dynasty, giving him a chance to grow. He believed that with the Qi Fortune of the Daxia Dynasty now, plus the five hundred Great Emperors using the Spirit Gathering Array, it wouldn't be easy for Xuan Tian to kill him.

Regardless of whether Xuan Tian decided to attack the Daxia Dynasty, the threat of the Shenyue Dynasty had to be dealt with. The expansion of the Shenyue Dynasty was too rapid, and the growth rate of the Heavenly Demons was increasing.

According to Lu Chen's guess, when the number of Heavenly Demons reaches a certain point, the Era Tribulation would descend. To prevent it, the demonic cave of the Shenyue Dynasty had to be eradicated.

Initially, he was worried about an attack from Xuan Tian, so he refrained from waging war against the Shenyue Dynasty, which instead brought the Daxia Dynasty more benefits.

Among the Great Emperors present, many joined the Daxia Dynasty out of fear of the Shenyue Dynasty, accelerating the expansion of the Daxia Dynasty even more than before.

Lu Chen's actions seemed to harbor the suspicion of nurturing bandits to self-strengthen, but this method was indeed quite effective.

Now that the Daxia Dynasty had enough Great Emperors, it had become the foremost power in the universe. Even without the Shenyue Dynasty, as long as the Daxia Dynasty went to war, those top forces could no longer contend with it. Even the current Immortal Alliance Army would keep their distance upon encountering the fleet of the Daxia Dynasty.

The Shenyue Dynasty was of no use to the Daxia Dynasty anymore; it was time to clean it up.

After discussing the expedition with the Great Emperors, Lu Chen proceeded to arrange which Great Emperors would accompany him on the campaign and who would stay behind in the Daxia Dynasty.

Once the candidates were determined, it took the Daxia Dynasty six months to complete the gathering of the military forces.

The fleet arrived directly at the Central Star Domain through the Holy Tier Transmission Array of Red Rain World.

Just as the Daxia Dynasty's fleet reached the Central Star Domain, they found the Immortal Alliance Army's Immortal Boats retreating toward the Red Rain World's direction.

The Immortal Boats of the Immortal Alliance Army were dilapidated, and the retreating Great Emperors bore various injuries.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of over two thousand starships, the Great Emperors of the Immortal Alliance Army were stunned. Had they just escaped one danger only to fall into another?

Seeing the Daxia Dynasty's fleet, the Ninth-layer Realm Great Emperor leading the Immortal Alliance Army immediately ordered all Immortal Boats and Great Emperors to stop and not continue retreating. They stayed in the void, quietly observing the starships of the Daxia Dynasty.

At this moment, a Great Emperor said in front of the leading Great Emperor of the alliance, "This should be the Immortal Boats of the Daxia Dynasty; I've seen them before and they look just like this."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunjing breathed a slight sigh of relief. If they were Immortal Boats of the Daxia Dynasty, they still had a chance to escape; if they were from the Shenyue Dynasty, there would be nowhere to run.

Emperor Yunjing directly transmitted his voice across several light years, asking, "Are you heading to the Central Star Domain to support the Immortal Alliance Army?"

At this point, almost half of the Central Star Domain had been occupied by the Shenyue Dynasty. The appearance of the Daxia Dynasty's Immortal Boats in the Central Star Domain was likely aimed at the Shenyue Dynasty, which was great news for the Immortal Alliance Army.

Lu Chen released his Divine Sense to probe the situation of the Immortal Alliance Army and saw that all the Great Emperors who had escaped were seriously injured. He felt somewhat moved, realizing that dealing with Heavenly Demons still required professionals like them.

Lu Chen then transmitted his voice, "I am the Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty! Where is the leader of your Alliance Army? Come see me at once!"

If this was in the past, Emperor Yunjing would have been very angry upon hearing this, as he too was an Emperor of an empire with dignity. Could he just come at someone's summon?

But now, Emperor Yunjing had been beaten by the Heavenly Demon Army to the point of having no temper at all. Upon hearing Lu Chen's transmission, he didn't hesitate even for a moment and stepped forward, instantly appearing before Lu Chen.

Upon arriving in front of Lu Chen and observing that Lu Chen was only of the Eighth-layer Realm, Emperor Yunjing paused slightly and then tentatively asked, "Are you the rumored Reincarnated Heavenly Emperor Lu Chen?"

Emperor Yunjing had thought Lu Chen would at least be in the Ninth-layer Realm, but to his surprise, he was only at the Eighth-layer Realm.

To fight against the Heavenly Demon Army, countless Ninth-layer Realm Great Emperors of the Immortal Alliance Army had perished. What could an Eighth-layer Great Emperor possibly do?

Regaining his composure, Emperor Yunjing continued, "Take my advice: go back to your Daxia Dynasty quickly; this isn't something you can meddle in."

"The Immortal Alliance Army has already been utterly defeated; no one can stop the Heavenly Demon Army. You going over will only be sending those demons food."
