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

At this moment, Emperor Ziji wondered if he had been under a lot of stress lately and if there was something wrong with his ears.

What did he hear?

Did the Thunder Emperor go to join the Great Xia Dynasty founded by Lu Chen?

After regaining his senses, Emperor Ziji asked the deputy general who had reported the news again, "What did you say? Emperor Leiting has defected to the Great Xia Dynasty?"

The deputy general could tell that Emperor Ziji was unwilling to believe it, so he said again, "This is absolutely true. The Thunder Legion has already entered the defensive formation created by the rebels."

Emperor Ziji said, "Is it possible that they are feigning allegiance and then taking the opportunity to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty?"

The lieutenant reminded him, "General, with the Thunder Legion's strength, there's no need to resort to such methods to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty."

Emperor Ziji raised his left hand and rubbed his temples. Indeed, they were an army from the Divine Moon Dynasty after all. Facing these low-level dynasties, they didn't need to use any tricks or schemes; they could just sweep them aside.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the Thunder Emperor has indeed submitted to the Great Xia Dynasty.

But this...

How could that be?

Emperor Thunder isn't stupid. Doesn't he realize that the Great Xia Dynasty is already on its last legs? Lu Chen failed in his power struggle and is no longer of any value. Why would he go and seek refuge with Lu Chen?

Betraying the Divine Moon Dynasty at this time, especially by standing on the opposite side of it, wouldn't that be courting death?

If he were to ally with another top power in the universe, he might not be surprised to hear this. In recent times, the Thunder Legion has been waging wars everywhere, and it is obvious to everyone that Emperor Shenyue is intentionally weakening Emperor Thunder's strength.

It wouldn't be too strange if the Thunder Emperor left the Divine Moon Dynasty with his legion at this time, but what's strange is that the Thunder Emperor would not go to join a dying man.

There's a problem...

There must be a big problem here...

Emperor Ziji immediately said, "Send someone to confirm whether the Thunder Legion has truly betrayed us. Also, report this news to His Majesty."

Emperor Ziji suddenly seemed to remember something and then said, "Never mind, I'll go and confirm it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Ziji's body disappeared from the spot, and he quickly arrived at the outer edge of the Baiyan Starfield Cluster.

As a result, when he used his divine sense to investigate, he found that the Thunder Emperor and his Thunder Army had indeed disappeared without a trace. In front of the White Rock Starfield Cluster, there was a blue barrier protecting the entire White Rock Starfield Cluster.

Emperor Ziji's expression was rather unpleasant; he hadn't expected it to be true.

What exactly is going on?

Emperor Ziji then revealed his Dharma form.

The next moment, his Dharma form was surrounded by purple, and the Purple Emperor raised the giant palm of his Dharma form, mobilized the power of the Great Dao, and unleashed a palm strike.

Sky Dome Palm!

A giant purple palm slammed into the barrier created by the Celestial Umbrella. However, the giant palm collapsed and dissipated the instant it hit the blue barrier, and even the power of the Great Dao contained within the giant palm dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Ziji was stunned in the void.

What's going on with this barrier? It can even withstand his Heavenly Palm!

Emperor Ziji refused to believe it and attacked again, unleashing several more palm strikes, but still failed to break the barrier created by the Immortal Spirit Umbrella.

Emperor Ziji ultimately had no choice but to give up.

He immediately shouted into the blue barrier, "Thunder, get out here!!!"

Emperor Ziji's voice transformed into waves of sound, creating ripples in space that spread towards the White Rock Starfield Cluster.

Soon, the Thunder Emperor, who was resting in the White Rock Starfield Cluster, heard the voice of the Purple Emperor.

Upon hearing the voice of the Purple Emperor, the Thunder Emperor immediately headed to the star field where the Purple Emperor was located.

When Emperor Ziji saw Emperor Leiting, he was about to ask Emperor Leiting why he had betrayed the Divine Moon Dynasty, but he found that the pressure emanating from Emperor Leiting was far greater than his own.

This……

Emperor Ziji was somewhat bewildered. What was going on?

Emperor Thunder betrayed the Divine Moon Dynasty. Logically, since he was no longer protected by the dynasty's imperial fortune, his strength should have declined to some extent.

How come the Thunder Emperor's realm not only didn't decline, but actually broke through?

Once you reach the Great Emperor level, advancing to the next realm becomes extremely difficult.

Seeing Emperor Ziji staring at him blankly, Emperor Leiting instantly guessed what Emperor Ziji was thinking. He then smiled and said, "Ziji, what brings you here?"

"We are enemies now. Aren't you afraid that the Divine Moon Emperor will become suspicious of you by coming to see me alone?"

Upon hearing Thunder Emperor's words, Purple Emperor finally came to his senses. Purple Emperor felt that he had guessed why Thunder Emperor had betrayed the Divine Moon Dynasty.

He said, "I'm a little curious, why is the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune so strong?"

Upon hearing Emperor Ziji's question, Emperor Leiting chuckled and then said, "You called me out so urgently just to ask this question?"

"Shouldn't you be yelling for me to come out now, so you can get rid of this traitor?"

Emperor Ziji's expression instantly changed. He smiled and said, "Thunder, what kind of relationship do we have? How can you think like that? We're brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. Even if you really made a mistake, I would never lay a hand on you."

Both of them walked the path of thunder, and they came from the same sect since childhood. Compared to their relationships with other emperors of the Divine Moon Dynasty, the two of them got along relatively well.

Therefore, after hearing about the Thunder Emperor's betrayal, the Purple Emperor still considered whether or not to pull him out.

Of course, even though they all follow the same path, the relationship between the Great Emperors is not so simple; they still prioritize interests.

The Thunder Emperor then said, "Come on, you call me a brother who's been through thick and thin with you? I bet you've already reported that I've defected to the Great Xia Dynasty."

Emperor Ziji said, "Alas, it's my duty. Never mind, let's not talk about that anymore. Just tell me why you chose to pledge allegiance to the Great Xia Dynasty."

Emperors are all driven by self-interest and have little regard for emotions. In the eyes of Emperor Ziji, Emperor Leiting is not a fool. It is impossible for him to knowingly surrender to the Great Xia Dynasty when he knows that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to be destroyed by the Divine Moon Dynasty.

Then there is only one possibility: the Thunder Emperor has probably witnessed the true strength of the Great Xia Dynasty and knows that there is a great deal of uncertainty in the battle between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Divine Moon Dynasty, or that the Great Xia Dynasty has some trump card that can defeat the Divine Moon Dynasty.

Judging from the Thunder Emperor's breakthrough in realm, it indirectly confirms that the Great Xia Dynasty has a very strong fortune, or perhaps the Great Xia Dynasty gave the Thunder Emperor some extraordinary rare treasures that helped him break through.

However, both of these points prove that the Great Xia Dynasty, to which Lu Chen belongs, is not an ordinary dynasty, and the blue barrier in front of him is not constructed from ordinary formations.

With the great calamity of the era approaching, the emperors all sought to break through to a higher realm in order to withstand the calamity.

Judging from Emperor Ziji's current cultivation level, it will be difficult for him to make any further breakthroughs until the Great Tribulation of the Epoch arrives.

Seeing that the Thunder Emperor, who also followed the Great Dao of Thunder, had broken through to a higher realm, he naturally had some thoughts in his mind. (End of Chapter)
