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

The Divine Martial Emperor once encountered an otherworldly enemy who used the power of time in the outer realms. If his cultivation level hadn't been higher than the enemy's, he might have been the one who died.

After returning to this universe, he had never seen a Great Emperor of the Way of Time. He thought that the laws of this universe did not allow the birth of a Great Emperor of the Way of Time. Unexpectedly, he met a Great Emperor of the Way of Time at the Heavenly Mystery Tower today.

Moreover, this emperor is also the master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

That's interesting. The owner of Tianji Tower is quite well hidden.

At this moment, the Divine Martial Emperor said, "I will pretend that everything that happened before the Divine Moon Dynasty never happened."

"If such a thing happens again, the Divine Moon Dynasty and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will fight to the death."

Xuan Tian smiled faintly, then said, "I was unaware of what happened in the Divine Moon Dynasty at first. Besides, I have already sent the culprit to the Divine Moon Dynasty, so you should be appeased now."

"Moreover, we now have a common enemy, so let's not let these trivial matters ruin our alliance."

Upon hearing Xuan Tian's words, the Divine Martial Emperor snorted coldly and did not continue the topic.

The most important thing now is not to deal with the Heavenly Mystery Tower, but to find a way to break through the Great Xia Dynasty's tortoise-shell defense and eliminate Lu Chen, the legendary Heavenly Emperor.

If Lu Chen is truly the Heavenly Emperor, then he must die, otherwise this universe may never give birth to another Heavenly Emperor.

The universe has its limits, just like those worlds of life. Every world of life has its own rules, and the types and numbers of powerful beings that can be born are all governed by the laws of nature.

The same applies to the universe; the number of emperors is limited, and the same applies to celestial emperors.

According to records passed down from ancient times, the Heavenly Emperor is a being who can mobilize the power of the universe's origin and has a certain possibility of rewriting the laws of the universe. Such a being is the supreme god of the universe, and it is impossible for a second one to be born.

If the Divine Martial Emperor wanted to take that step and become the Heavenly Emperor, he couldn't let others who might become the Heavenly Emperor get there first.

He must eliminate all those who have the potential to become the Heavenly Emperor before he can feel at ease.

The Divine Martial Emperor then asked, "How much do you know about the barrier of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Xuan Tian answered directly, "That barrier was constructed from a celestial artifact from another realm."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Martial Emperor was stunned. He didn't know how many years it had been since he had been so shocked.

"A celestial artifact?"

"How could this universe possibly allow such an existence?"

As far as the Divine Martial Emperor knew, there wasn't even an Imperial Artifact in this universe, so how did a Celestial Artifact suddenly appear?

Even if this immortal artifact comes from an outer realm as Xuan Tian said, it is very likely that it will be squeezed out by the laws of this universe and cannot exist in this universe forever.

Xuan Tian said, "The great calamity of the era is approaching, and the laws of the universe are in chaos, which is why that immortal artifact was left in this universe."

Upon hearing Xuan Tian's explanation, the Divine Martial Emperor felt that it made some sense. The universe was now in utter chaos, and its laws had become disordered. At this point, some of the universe's heavenly rules might indeed be unable to function.

If that's the case, does it mean that there might be other immortal artifacts in this universe?

Thinking of this possibility, the Divine Martial Emperor's heart became excited; it would be impossible for him not to be tempted by immortal artifacts.

That's a Celestial Artifact, surpassing even an Emperor Artifact. The Sacred Artifact in his hand is nothing compared to a Celestial Artifact.

At this moment, the Divine Martial Emperor said, "I want that immortal artifact from the Great Xia Dynasty."

He didn't know if there were other immortal artifacts in this universe, but since the Great Xia Dynasty possessed one, he was determined to obtain it after conquering the Great Xia Dynasty.

This kind of good stuff shouldn't fall into the hands of others.

Upon hearing Emperor Shenwu's words, Xuan Tian remained silent for a moment, not answering immediately. After a while, Xuan Tian said with a smile, "Obtaining that immortal artifact will probably not be easy."

Xuan Tian would never leave that immortal artifact in this universe. Whoever obtains an immortal artifact would be a huge threat to him, and he would not allow such an artifact that could threaten his own existence to exist.

Although that immortal artifact was only a defensive one.

Of course, Xuan Tian wouldn't say this directly.

Upon hearing Xuan Tian's words, the Divine Martial Emperor asked, "So you also have no way to break the barrier created by that immortal artifact?"

Xuan Tian replied directly, "Yes."

Upon hearing Xuan Tian's answer, the Divine Martial Emperor frowned. If even Xuan Tian didn't know how to break the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier, then he was probably even less capable.

Although he is skilled at killing, he only knows how to use brute force when it comes to breaking formations or barriers.

The two ninth-level Great Emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty have already verified that the barrier is not so easy to break. Although his strength is greater than that of ordinary ninth-level Great Emperors, his strength is only relative to other ninth-level Great Emperors.

If two Great Emperors at the Ninth Realm couldn't break the barrier together, he probably couldn't either. He had originally thought that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion might have a solution, so he came to find Xuan Tian.

If even the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can't break through the Great Xia Dynasty's barrier, then what's the point of its existence?

Thinking of this, the killing power within Emperor Shenwu surged once more, but he quickly suppressed his inner impulse.

Now is not the time to turn against him. Xuan Tian is the Emperor of Time, and we don't know what kind of methods he has. We can test Xuan Tian's abilities first.

The Divine Martial Emperor continued, "You once said that the Heavenly Mystery Maiden's deductive abilities surpass yours. I wonder if it would be feasible to have the Heavenly Mystery Maiden deduce the flaws in this immortal artifact?"

Upon hearing the Divine Martial Emperor mention Xuan Qingyun, Xuan Tian chuckled and then said, "You may not know this, but the Heavenly Mystery Woman most likely sided with Lu Chen from the very beginning."

This……

The Divine Martial Emperor's face instantly darkened.

The Heavenly Secret Woman is actually on Lu Chen's side?

However, Xuan Tian's guess was not without reason. Ever since Lu Chen went to the Tianchen World, he had been able to hardly sense Lu Chen's situation. If it weren't for Lu Chen running back to the Shenyue Dynasty and taking Chu Yunzhi away, he probably wouldn't have known for a long time that Lu Chen had such great abilities.

At that time, he suspected that Lu Chen's secrets were hidden by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which was why he could not sense Lu Chen's situation through bloodline, thus giving Lu Chen the opportunity to grow.

If he had known from the beginning that Lu Chen had such great abilities, he would have chosen Lu Chen as his target for possession, not Lu Yanghua.

If the Heavenly Mystery Woman had already deduced Lu Chen's origins, then it's entirely possible that she sided with Lu Chen from the very beginning.

The Divine Martial Emperor snorted coldly. No wonder the Heavenly Mystery Maiden had refused his repeated attempts to join forces against the Great Calamity of the Era; it turned out she had already chosen a target to support. (End of Chapter)
