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

The Great Xia Dynasty's starships have been stationed in the Tianyue Starfield for more than two months, and they have sent many people to persuade the dynasties to surrender, but those dynasties remain unmoved, and all their immortal ship formations have been activated.

This clearly indicates a determination to fight a decisive battle against the Great Xia Dynasty's War Dragon Army.

Even so, Emperor Thunder and his men did not act rashly, because they knew that Lu Chen valued the dynasty's fortune more. If they launched an attack and destroyed those dynasties, they would lose a considerable amount of the dynasty's fortune.

They are all waiting for Emperor Xia Tian's orders, but Emperor Xia Tian has been doing something for the past two months and has not given them any orders. It seems that he has gone into seclusion.

At this point, the Thunder Emperor said, "Let's send another person to persuade them to surrender. If they really refuse, we'll ask His Majesty for instructions on whether or not to attack."

As soon as the Thunder Emperor finished speaking, Lu Chen's clone appeared in the conference hall. Upon seeing Lu Chen's clone, all the emperors in the conference hall stood up and bowed to Lu Chen in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

Lu Chen grunted in response and waved his hand downwards, indicating that they should all sit down.

Lu Chen then said, "Empress Tianhong has broken through to the sixth level of the Great Emperor realm. You should send people to persuade them to surrender first. Tell them that if they still do not surrender, then what awaits them is a one-sided massacre."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Most of the emperors present had surrendered to the Divine Moon Dynasty before, and many of them had followed the Divine Martial Emperor in his campaigns.

Everyone knew very well how powerful a Great Emperor who had attained enlightenment through killing would be once he reached the sixth level.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's order, the Thunder Emperor did not hesitate at all and directly instructed another emperor to go to the other side's immortal ship again to persuade them to surrender.

Soon, Emperor Haiquan, who had been sent by Emperor Leiting to persuade them to surrender, arrived in front of the dozen or so imperial ships. "The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that you must immediately surrender to the Great Xia Dynasty, or none of you will be spared."

Upon hearing Emperor Haiquan's shout, Emperor Lingwu chuckled and then said directly, "Trying to make us surrender? That's wishful thinking! If your Great Xia Dynasty is really that powerful, then just attack us!"

"I'd like to see if you have the ability to break through our blockade."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Haiquan sighed and then said, "I have delivered my message. You'd better take care of yourselves. I hope you won't regret it later."

At this point, Emperor Haiquan suddenly realized something. Emperor Xia Tian's purpose was for the dynasty's fortune, and he even sent him to persuade the emperor to surrender again, proving that Emperor Xia Tian actually did not want to start a massacre.

Emperor Haiquan then added, "Oh, right, I have some bad news for you. A sixth-level Great Emperor from the Great Xia Dynasty, who specializes in killing, will be arriving here soon. If you choose to resist stubbornly before her arrival, don't blame the Great Xia Dynasty for unleashing a massacre."

These words immediately sparked a heated discussion among the emperors on Emperor Lingwu's side.

One of the emperors said worriedly, "Sixth level! Really? We're probably no match for an emperor at the sixth level of the killing realm, aren't we?"

Another emperor said, "I heard that when the Divine Martial Emperor was at the sixth level, no emperor in the outer realms dared to provoke him. Even some emperors at the ninth level would have to take a detour when they saw him."

The crowd erupted into chaos.

"It's all over! The Great Xia Dynasty actually has a sixth-level Slaughtering Emperor!"

"How can the Great Xia Dynasty have so many emperors who have attained enlightenment through killing! We might as well just surrender!"

"This is troublesome. The highest level we have is only at the sixth realm, and they didn't even attain enlightenment through killing. Even combined, we're no match for that sixth-realm Slaughtering Emperor!"

……

Hearing the discussions among the emperors behind him, Emperor Lingwu's face darkened. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly shouted, "Enough!"

As soon as Emperor Lingwu spoke, the emperors who were discussing fell silent instantly. After the crowd was completely quiet, Emperor Lingwu then spoke: "You believe what the enemy says? He says there is a sixth-level Slaughtering Emperor, so there really is a sixth-level Slaughtering Emperor?"

"How ridiculous!"

"Didn't you realize he was trying to divide us?"

"If there really were a sixth-level killing emperor, how could they have waited until now without launching an attack?"

"In my opinion, they are just bluffing."

Upon hearing this, the emperor present instantly "woke up".

One of the emperors said, "That's right. If they really had a sixth-level killing emperor, they would have made a move long ago. They've tried to persuade them to surrender so many times, but they haven't seen them bring out that sixth-level killing emperor."

Seeing the emperors' reaction, Emperor Haiquan shook his head helplessly. This was none of his business. He had already delivered the message and even added a comment, but some people still did not intend to surrender.

Just as Emperor Haiquan was about to leave, suddenly, the Dharma form of Emperor Lingwu appeared in the void, saying, "Since you're here, then don't leave!"

Emperor Lingwu was no longer willing to wait. He could sense that some emperors in the crowd were starting to have their own ideas.

He didn't know if the Great Xia Dynasty had any sixth-level killing emperors, but even if it didn't, there must be some emperors from other dynasties who couldn't withstand the pressure and wanted to defect to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, he must take the initiative and provoke a war between the two sides as soon as possible to prevent anyone on their side from succumbing to the pressure and choosing to betray them.

The instant the image of Emperor Lingwu appeared, a gigantic golden bell materialized in the void. Emperor Lingwu roared, "Soul-Breaking Bell!"

Upon seeing the broken Soul Bell, Emperor Haiquan frowned. He wasn't too worried about getting injured or encountering any trouble, since Emperor Xia Tian was nearby and would definitely intervene if anything happened to him.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor doesn't intervene, the Thunder Emperor and the Purple Emperor will.

Emperor Haiquan could sense that the Soul-Breaking Bell posed a great threat to him.

Just as he was preparing to reveal his Dharma form to fight the Spirit Martial Emperor, a streak of blood-red light suddenly flew over from afar.

The streak of blood-red light crashed into the Soul-Breaking Bell of the Spirit Martial Emperor, and the Soul-Breaking Bell shattered instantly at that moment.

But this was not the end. The next moment, a long sword carrying a strong killing power emerged from the void. The sword appeared directly behind Emperor Lingwu. Before Emperor Lingwu could even react, the sword pierced through his body.

Fortunately, Emperor Lingwu was only at the sixth level of the Emperor realm, so he did not perish immediately. After realizing what had happened, he quickly withdrew his Dharma form and teleported to a distant void.

"Who goes there!"

Upon seeing the injuries on Emperor Lingwu's body, all the emperors present immediately became vigilant. (End of Chapter)
