Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Empress Tianhong had no recollection that her sword was an imperial weapon.

However, the aura emanating from the sword in her hand was exactly the same as the sword she used in her previous life.

Moreover, she could feel the sword's excitement upon returning to her hand.

She remembered that her sword could only be considered a semi-sacred artifact at best, so how did it become an imperial weapon now?

Empress Tianhong's gaze fell on Lu Chen again. Since Lu Chen was the one who took out the Empress Sword, its upgrade must be related to Lu Chen.

Empress Tianhong really wanted to ask Lu Chen how the Empress Sword was upgraded to an Emperor Weapon, but in the end she hesitated to speak.

After a moment, Empress Tianhong asked, "Do you intend to hand this sword over to me?"

Although the sword was her own, the Empress's Sword had become an Imperial Weapon, and Empress Tianhong was unsure whether Lu Chen would give her another Imperial Weapon to use.

This universe has very few sacred artifacts, let alone imperial weapons.

Lu Chen said, "Weapons can only unleash their full power when they are in the right hands. Although this sword is of a high grade, it is too light, and I am not used to using it."

Empress Tianhong's heart stirred slightly. So, Lu Chen really intended to hand over the Empress Sword to her?

The Empress Sword had been with her for countless years, and its blade was imbued with a thick aura of malevolence, which helped her to better unleash her killing power and greatly enhance her strength.

Seeing Empress Tianhong's anxious expression, Lu Chen said calmly, "Although I'm not used to using it, it is, after all, an imperial weapon."

Empress Tianhong frowned slightly. "What are your conditions?"

Empress Tianhong also knew that Lu Chen was unlikely to return the Empress Sword to her so easily, after all, it was an imperial weapon.

Lu Chen said, "I haven't yet thought of anything you can offer that I would value in exchange for the Empress Sword."

After a moment's thought, Lu Chen continued, "How about this, you can use it for now. I'll tell you when I've figured out the conditions for exchanging the Empress Sword."

Empress Tianhong looked at Lu Chen with a cold expression. She knew that Lu Chen was deliberately dragging things out to keep her hanging on.

As long as Lu Chen doesn't make any demands, she will always owe him a favor.

However, in order to keep the Empress Sword, she was willing to incur a favor from Lu Chen.

Empress Tianhong then said, "Alright!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Tianhong put away the Imperial Daughter Sword, fearing that Lu Chen would change his mind.

Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the distant void, followed by three terrifying pressures descending upon the Brahma Sea Starfield.

Lu Chen's expression immediately turned serious.

The Azure Cloud Dynasty has arrived!

Lu Chen immediately gave the order for all the starships to line up in a row and retreat. The next battle would be between the emperors, and the starships would be the ones to fight later.

Lu Chen then released his divine sense to explore the distant void. In his divine sense perception, a celestial ship that resembled a small world was slowing down, and behind that huge celestial ship were dozens of other celestial ships.

Upon seeing this giant immortal ship, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback. How could such a huge immortal ship exist in a dynasty at the edge of the universe?

He thought the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship was already big enough, but today he actually saw an immortal ship that was even bigger than the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship.

I'm afraid even ten Flying Rainbow Immortal Ships combined wouldn't be as big as this one from the Azure Cloud Dynasty.

However, although the Qingyun Dynasty's immortal ship is enormous, its attack formations may not be as numerous as those on the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship; it may only be a facade.

Just as Lu Chen was using his divine sense to investigate the situation of the Qingyun Dynasty's immortal ship, three powerful divine senses suddenly collided with Lu Chen's divine sense.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen withdrew his divine sense.

at the same time.

On the giant immortal ship of the Qingyun Dynasty.

The three emperors looked sharply into the distant void.

After a while, Qi Zong spoke up, saying, "That divine sense just now should belong to that Great Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Qi Shi laughed and said, "He has already realized that three great emperors have come this time, and he's probably so scared that he wants to run away now."

Ye Hongyun said, "That's not necessarily true. The Great Xia Dynasty has so many strange and unusual things. It's hard to say whether the Great Xia Dynasty has obtained any kind of inheritance. They might even have magical treasures that could threaten the Great Emperor."

Ye Hongyun had read all the intelligence gathered by the Ye family spies. He did not believe that the Great Xia Dynasty was just an ordinary dynasty. Although he also did not think that the Great Xia Dynasty was a match for the Qingyun Dynasty, he was more cautious than Qi Zong and Qi Shi.

Even a battle between emperors, like a lion hunting a rabbit, requires the full force of the attack, because no one can predict what underhanded tricks the emperor might be hiding.

Those who can become emperors are basically old creatures who have lived for tens of thousands of years. If they didn't have some special skills, they wouldn't be able to live long enough to become emperors.

Qi Zong said, "Now we'll see if they retreat. If they do, it proves they don't have any magical treasures that can threaten the Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zong also released his divine sense, intending to investigate the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty's fleet.

As Qi Zong's divine sense swept across the Great Xia Dynasty's fleet, the smile on his face gradually froze. There were many soldiers at the Nascent Soul Realm and the Void Return Realm on those fleets.

It's not surprising that a dynasty has a large number of Nascent Soul Realm and Void Realm cultivators, but the Great Xia Dynasty is only a newly established dynasty, so how could it have so many Nascent Soul Realm and Void Realm cultivators?

Would the Great Xia Dynasty summon all the cultivators in the Void Realm of the entire dynasty?

Qi Zong had a vague feeling that the overall strength of the imperial soldiers he brought was actually inferior to that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, Qi Zong's brows soon relaxed. He thought to himself that the key to victory or defeat in this war lay with these emperors, while the soldiers of the dynasty were merely responsible for cleaning up the mess.

No matter how strong the enemy army was, it posed no threat to the three emperors.

But Qi Zong soon discovered another problem: after scanning the entire fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty with his divine sense, he found no Emperor.

Qi Zong withdrew his divine sense and turned to Ye Hongyun, saying, "Ancestor Ye, now use your divine sense to investigate the situation of those immortal ships of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Ye Hongyun didn't ask Qi Zong why. He immediately released his divine sense and was slightly surprised to find that the soldiers brought by the Great Xia Dynasty were all very strong, but he didn't care too much.

Ye Hongyun shared the same idea as Qi Zong: when it comes to wars involving the Great Emperor, the outcome depends on the Great Emperor, not on the soldiers.

However, Ye Hongyun also quickly noticed something was wrong. He scanned all the immortal ships of the Great Xia Dynasty present with his divine sense and found no Great Emperor.

After withdrawing his divine sense, Ye Hongyun murmured, "The Great Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty just ran away like that?"

Just now, all three of them felt the divine sense of an Emperor-level being probing their situation. However, when they tried to probe the other side, the Emperor had vanished. Doesn't this prove that the other side most likely escaped? (End of Chapter)
