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

Qi Zong controlled his Dharma form, striking the Empress Sword clones surrounding him in the void with palm strikes, while his main body was rapidly approaching Empress Tianhong.

Since there's no way to escape, then let's not run anymore. Qi Zong is prepared to perish together with Empress Tianhong.

Both were at the second level of the Great Emperor realm. He didn't believe that even with his divine soul burning, he was still completely helpless against the Heavenly Rainbow Empress.

Although he appeared to be fighting desperately, Qi Zong still had some ulterior motives. With a great calamity approaching, he believed that no emperor would want to get hurt at this time.

As both being at the second level of the Great Emperor realm, if he were to self-destruct his divine soul, it would inevitably cause harm to that woman.

If that crazy woman sees how desperately they're fighting, she might fear they'll self-destruct and stop chasing them.

Clearly, Qi Zong's idea was too naive. Empress Tianhong was not worried at all that he would self-destruct his soul. On the contrary, she was happy to see an emperor forced to self-destruct his soul. What she wanted to see most was despair in the eyes of her enemy.

Empress Tianhong's body transformed into a red streak of light, instantly arriving before Qi Zong's Dharma image. Empress Tianhong then gripped the Empress Sword in her hand and unleashed dozens of sword strikes, each carrying deadly power.

Even with his divine soul burning, Qi Zong could only passively defend against the high-frequency attacks of Empress Tianhong.

At this moment, Empress Tianhong raised her left hand. In the instant she raised her hand, a clone of the Empress's Sword, which had been floating in the air, flew into her hand. Empress Tianhong gripped the clone of the Empress's Sword and slashed out with the sword.

After Empress Tianhong unleashed a sword aura with the clone of the Empress's Sword, she immediately let go, and the clone of the Empress's Sword flew into the void.

And so, while attacking, Empress Tianhong grabbed a clone of the Empress Sword from the void and unleashed a sword aura.

Those clones of the Empress's sword, which unleashed a burst of sword energy, seemed unable to withstand the killing power emanating from Empress Tianhong, and began to slowly dissipate the moment they were thrown out by her.

Lu Chen, who was in the distance, quickly understood why Empress Tianhong was doing this. Empress Tianhong had infused too much killing power into her, and even the Empress Sword could not withstand it.

So Empress Tianhong first had the Empress Sword split into countless clones in the void. When Empress Tianhong attacked, she would grab one of the Empress Sword clones and swing it. After swinging out a sword aura, the Empress Sword clone would disintegrate because it could not withstand the killing power infused by Empress Tianhong.

Fortunately, the clone of the Empress Sword was formed from the spiritual power of the Rainbow Empress, so even if it dissipates, it will not affect the sword's essence.

It must be said that this Empress Sword is indeed suitable for Empress Tianhong.

When Empress Tianhong wielded her sword, the murderous aura around her changed from blood red to black, and her red dress gradually turned black as well.

Seeing this scene, Qi Zong's fear was amplified.

He was no match for the sword energy unleashed by Empress Tianhong. With so many swords still swung in the void, Qi Zong couldn't imagine whether he would still be able to stand intact after Empress Tianhong unleashed all her sword energy.

Qi Zong was somewhat unwilling. They were clearly at the same level, and he had even burned his divine soul, so why couldn't he even withstand a single sword aura unleashed by the Heavenly Rainbow Empress?

Is the emperor who wields the power of killing really that powerful?

While Qi Zong was distracted, the sword energy unleashed by Empress Tianhong became increasingly terrifying, and cracks appeared all over Qi Zong's golden Dharma body.

It should be noted that, so far, Empress Tianhong has not revealed her true form even once; she has already driven Qi Zong to the brink of despair by relying solely on the power of her physical body.

Seeing that even after burning his divine soul, Qi Zong was still no match for Empress Tianhong, he was utterly desperate. He then roared, "The Ye family has ruined me!!!"

Immediately afterwards, the power within him gathered together, transforming into countless blood streaks that flew into the distance.

The next moment, countless cracks appeared on Qi Zong's body, and blue light emanated from the cracks.

Empress Tianhong immediately saw that Qi Zong intended to self-destruct his divine soul. The destructive energy generated by the self-destruction of a Great Emperor could clear out the entire surrounding star field, leaving virtually no chance of survival for any life below the Great Emperor level.

Seeing that Qi Zong was about to self-destruct, Empress Tianhong realized that this battle should also end.

Next, Empress Tianhong personally told Qi Zong a principle: to self-destruct in front of a great emperor who wields the power of killing is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Empress Tianhong slowly raised her hand, and all the floating sword clones of the Empress in the void emitted a buzzing sword sound.

Empress Tianhong channeled all her killing power into her clone wielding the Empress Sword, and then with a wave of her hand, all the clones with the Empress Sword stabbed towards Qi Zong.

Before Qi Zong could even self-destruct his divine soul, his dharma form was shattered by the Empress Sword's clone. The next moment, countless Empress Swords carrying killing power pierced through his body. After his divine soul was eroded by the killing power, it exploded in a very short time.

Then a blue flame appeared in the void, and the aftershocks of the explosion instantly swept across the entire star field where they were.

However, Qi Zong's soul explosion was not pre-charged and was not a self-destruction of the soul, so its power was limited and did not cause much damage.

The explosion at Qi Zong's side quickly caught Qi Shi's attention. After sensing that Qi Zong's aura had completely disappeared, Qi Shi panicked.

He couldn't even defeat Pei Tianlu, let alone the Empress who wielded the power of killing.

Even their ancestor is dead, so he's probably next.

Qi Shi was unwilling to die so young. With his cultivation as an emperor, he should be able to live for at least another million years.

Qi Shi immediately declared loudly, "Lord of Great Xia, I am willing to surrender and pledge my loyalty to you!"

Qi Shi wasn't sure who was the boss, the Empress Tianhong or the Lord of Great Xia, but all he needed to do now was express his intention to join them.

Regardless of who is the leader of those two, they should both consider his words after hearing them, since he is a great emperor and is still of some use.

When Qi Shi proposed to pledge allegiance to Lu Chen, Pei Tianlu frowned. From his personal standpoint, he naturally did not want to see Qi Shi pledge allegiance to Lu Chen.

After all, the Qingyun Dynasty had interfered in the affairs of the Chiyue Dynasty and even wanted to annex the Chiyue Dynasty. Although he was now Lu Chen's servant, he still harbored some hatred towards the Qingyun Dynasty.

However, he also knew that Lu Chen was the master, and Lu Chen should have the final say in everything. Even if he had grievances in his heart, he had to listen to Lu Chen.

Pei Tianlu immediately stopped and looked at the Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship, which was a light-year away, waiting for Lu Chen to speak.

With the blessing of the Great Emperor's power, Qi Shi's voice quickly reached Lu Chen's ears, a light-year away.

Seeing that Qi Shi had offered to pledge allegiance to him, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. The Great Xia Dynasty would definitely expand in the future.

As the Great Xia Dynasty expands, it will encounter more and more enemies.

Right now, they've only encountered a dynasty ruled by three emperors, and these three emperors aren't particularly powerful. In the future, they might encounter a super power with a dozen or even dozens of emperors. At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty's current strength will be completely insufficient.

The more emperors there are, the more power there is.

Moreover, he had a premonition that in the near future, a war would inevitably break out between him and the Divine Moon Dynasty, which meant a war between him and the Divine Martial Emperor. (End of Chapter)
