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

The sheer amount of malevolent aura emanating from Lu Chen was enough to make anyone, even a fool, know what had happened.

This made Empress Tianhong very unhappy. She had Lu Chen trap those emperors so that she could deal with them when she returned.

As a result, Lu Chen single-handedly dealt with all those Great Emperors, and she was even thinking of using this opportunity to break through to a higher realm.

Seeing Empress Tianhong staring at him with hostility, as if he were her enemy, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Since you won't be back anytime soon, and my killing domain can't contain them, I had no choice but to take action and eliminate them ahead of time. You can't blame me for that."

Empress Tianhong glanced at Lu Chen. At this moment, the Spirit Gathering Array had been deactivated, and Lu Chen's clone returned to the second level of the Great Emperor realm.

This puzzled Empress Tianhong. How could Lu Chen, who was only at the second level of the Great Emperor realm, have killed all those Great Emperors in such a short time?

Those were over a hundred emperors!

She left with peace of mind because she felt that Lu Chen's killing domain could only trap those Great Emperors, not eliminate them all. After all, among those Great Emperors was a Seventh Realm Great Emperor and several Sixth Realm Great Emperors.

As a result, not long after I left, Lu Chen cleared the area out.

Even if Lu Chen had that immortal sword, he shouldn't be able to clear the area so quickly, right?

Empress Tianhong asked curiously, "How did you do that?"

Lu Chen replied calmly, "Spirit Gathering Array."

Upon hearing this answer, a hint of confusion appeared on Empress Tianhong's aloof and beautiful face.

Spirit Gathering Array?

Is that the same formation that Emperor Lingyun used before?

That formation gathered the power of all the Great Emperors into one Great Emperor's body. One Great Emperor could not withstand so much power, and those Great Dao powers would collide with each other at the highest point of a person's body.

Once the Spirit Gathering Array is used, the outcome could very well be the same as that of Emperor Lingyun; if it is not controlled, it could even result in the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

Empress Tianhong did not believe that the Spirit Gathering Array could be used as an offensive tactic. Regardless of the faction, they would only attempt to use the Spirit Gathering Array when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Lu Chen actually used the Spirit Gathering Array as a means of attack?

His body did not explode after he used the Spirit Gathering Array.

Soon, Empress Tianhong realized something. Lu Chen had so many clones, and his clones were quite special. It seemed that even if the clones exploded, it wouldn't have much of an impact on Lu Chen's main body.

If that's the case, it doesn't seem like Lu Chen can't use the Spirit Gathering Array as an attack method. If the clone explodes, he can just create another clone.

Of course, this was clearly a misunderstanding on the part of Empress Tianhong. Lu Chen saw through her confusion and said directly, "Have you forgotten that I possess all the power of the Great Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Tianhong was stunned. Lu Chen had indeed mentioned this to her before.

If that's the case, then no matter what kind of power enters Lu Chen's body, it won't have any effect on him. Does that mean Lu Chen can use the Spirit Gathering Array indefinitely?

In this way, Lu Chen's strength can always remain at the ninth level of the Great Emperor realm, and the more Great Emperors the Great Xia Dynasty has, the stronger Lu Chen will become.

Lu Chen's strength might even surpass that of the Heavenly Emperor. The thought of this possibility made Empress Tianhong feel a little jealous.

In this way, she will never be able to surpass Lu Chen in her entire life.

Empress Tianhong quickly came to her senses. The strength that Lu Chen gained from using the Spirit Gathering Array was only temporary. Even if he was strong in this state, it was not Lu Chen's true strength, so she didn't need to care so much.

After comforting herself, Empress Tianhong felt much better.

However, the thought that Lu Chen had wiped out all the emperors of the four great dynasties' allied forces, leaving none for her, stirred up discontent within Empress Tianhong once again.

Lu Chen can use the Spirit Gathering Array without limit, yet he still uses this method of killing to improve his strength. Shouldn't he give this opportunity to someone who needs it?

Sensing the resentment in Empress Tianhong's eyes, Lu Chen said, "You've already broken through to the seventh level. At the rate of your cultivation improvement, you'll reach the ninth level in no time. There's no need to rush."

When Empress Tianhong returned, Lu Chen clearly felt that her aura had increased significantly. He then checked with the system and found that Empress Tianhong's realm had indeed broken through.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Empress Tianhong couldn't help but wonder if Lu Chen had guessed from the beginning that he would be able to break through to the seventh level after killing the fleeing seventh-level emperor, and that he deliberately killed all these emperors to prevent his strength from increasing too quickly.

Thinking of this possibility, Empress Tianhong looked at Lu Chen with a hint of suspicion.

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The war is over, and we can deal with the next steps."

At this point, Lu Chen turned to look at the Thunder Emperor and the others, "Immediately send troops to attack the four great dynasties. You know what to do with those who do not surrender."

All the emperors said in unison, "We obey!"

Now, the emperors of the four most powerful dynasties within the Lingzhao Super Star Domain have been annihilated, and there is no longer any force within the Lingzhao Super Star Domain that can stop the expansion of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Next, all we need to do is send the Great Xia Dynasty's starships to the star systems of those dynasties, and those dynasties will naturally surrender. Of course, there may be some that refuse to surrender even at the cost of their lives.

As for those who refused to surrender, Lu Chen planned to let Empress Tianhong handle them, as he was not suited to deal with such matters.

The War Dragon Army acted very quickly. In less than two years, it took control of the entire Lingzhao Super Star Cluster and brought all the dynasties in the Lingzhao Super Star Cluster under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty also surged to a terrifying level, to the point that even the masters of those top powers could feel the power of the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune.

The Great Xia Dynasty's expansion speed has surpassed that of the Divine Moon Dynasty. After the Divine Moon Dynasty's army retreated, it was actually also waging wars outwards, but they were unable to control a super star cluster in such a short time.

This made the top powers in the universe realize that the Great Xia Dynasty was more threatening than the Divine Moon Dynasty. As a result, many top powers sent representatives to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, hoping to obtain a way to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Unfortunately, the owner of Tianji Tower was never seen.

The Divine Moon Dynasty.

Emperor Star.

Heavenly Palace.

A woman dressed in white cloud-patterned robes looked at the buildings on the horizon of the Imperial Star and said to Lu Yanghua beside her, "I believe that if our two major forces join forces, we will definitely be able to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty."

Lu Yanghua said, "It's not just our two major powers; more and more forces are realizing the threat posed by the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is also planning to deal with it." (End of Chapter)
