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

Lu Chen's first sword strike was merely a probing attack; he wanted to see if his own source power could withstand Xuan Tian's soul-devouring power.

The green power made Lu Chen feel very uneasy. He was worried that his power would be suppressed by the Soul Devouring Power.

The fate of the Divine Martial Emperor was still fresh in his mind, leaving him no choice but to be cautious.

Seeing Lu Chen unleash his sword, Xuan Tian's lips curled into a disdainful smile. He sneered, "Lu Chen, it seems you're already past your prime!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen said calmly, "You'll soon find out whether it works or not."

Soon, Lu Chen's sword energy collided directly with the giant dragon formed by the power of soul devouring. Just when Xuan Tian thought that Lu Chen could not withstand the power of soul devouring, Lu Chen's sword energy actually pierced through Xuan Tian's power of soul devouring.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene, even Xuan Qingyun stared at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression.

Why was Lu Chen's seemingly effortless sword strike able to sever Xuan Tian's strongest power?

Xuan Tian muttered to himself, "Impossible, this is impossible! How could you possibly suppress my Soul Devouring Power!"

The power of soul devouring is its strongest power. Using the power of soul devouring will even corrode its own body. Yet Lu Chen was able to resist it with ease. How could Xuan Tian accept this?

Xuan Tian then mobilized the Soul Devouring Power once more, and countless Soul Devouring Powers converged together, forming a massive cosmic wave that crashed directly towards Lu Chen.

Seeing the towering waves before him, Lu Chen steadied himself and once again mobilized the primal power within his body, or more accurately, his immortal power.

Lu Chen then gathered all his immortal power into the Shattered God Sword.

That was a probing attack. After discovering that Xuan Tian wasn't as powerful as he had imagined, Lu Chen decided not to waste any more time.

This sword strike will decide not only victory or defeat, but also life or death!

As Lu Chen's power converged into the Shattered God Sword, cracks slowly appeared on the sword's blade, clearly indicating that the Shattered God Sword could not withstand all of his power.

After all, the Shattered God Sword was only a low-level immortal sword. Although Lu Chen had not recovered his power as an immortal king, he had already burned some of his divine soul power. The divine soul power of an immortal king was not something that a low-level immortal sword like the Shattered God Sword could withstand.

Sensing the surge of power emanating from Lu Chen, Xuan Tian realized that Lu Chen was going to fight desperately. He once again mobilized the power of Soul Devouring. In an instant, almost every place in the entire universe, except for the void where they were and the Great Xia Dynasty, was filled with the power of Soul Devouring.

Just as Lu Chen was about to make his move, all the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty suddenly appeared at the edge of the Immortal Umbrella's barrier. Seeing that Lu Chen was preparing to fight Xuan Tian to the death, they immediately said, "Everyone, form an array and lend His Majesty a hand!!!"

Upon hearing this, all the emperors present joined the Spirit Gathering Array without hesitation. In an instant, a powerful seven-colored force passed through the barrier of the Immortal Spirit Umbrella and flowed into Lu Chen's body, making Lu Chen even stronger because of this force.

His appearance kept growing larger, as if he were about to expand the entire universe.

Just as the Soul Devouring Power was about to strike Lu Chen, Lu Chen gathered all his power into the Shattered God Sword and unleashed a sudden slash.

This sword strike did not cause mountains to collapse or the earth to split open.

This sword strike was extremely calm, without even a trace of sword energy.

However, this one sword strike caused Xuan Tian's expression to change drastically. In a very instant, a golden horizon cleaved the entire universe in two, and countless black gases diffused in from that golden horizon.

Feeling the wound that had been torn open in his body, Xuan Tian said in disbelief, "Why...why is your soul power still so strong even though it's almost dissipating...?"

Lu Chen has reincarnated so many times inside its body that its spiritual power is almost dissipated. Logically, Lu Chen shouldn't be this strong. Even with the "worms" inside its belly, it's impossible for them to split its body open.

Just then, Xuan Qingyun's voice rang out, "It's not that it has become stronger, but that you have become weaker."

"Don't you realize how much damage the power of soul devouring has done to you?"

Xuan Qingyun glanced at Lu Chen and said calmly, "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark power was released from Xuan Qingyun's body. The next moment, countless black sword energies pierced towards Xuan Tian, ​​who had not yet dissipated.

Xuan Tian roared in despair, "No!!! I will not die!!!"

"You ants! How dare you harm me! I will refine you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tian tried to mobilize the Soul Devouring Power again. This time, the Soul Devouring Power underwent a significant change, turning into green flames.

Seeing this, Lu Chen had a bad feeling. His power was almost exhausted. If Xuan Tian still had the power to fight back at this time, they would surely die.

However, to Lu Chen's surprise, when the Soul Devouring Power turned into green flames and burned, it was not them who suffered first, but Xuan Tian himself.

As soon as the green flames touched Xuan Tian's body, they burst into flames. "No!!!"

Xuan Qingyun raised her hand and waved it, and a huge black sword formed in the void. Xuan Qingyun raised the sword and swung it, and in an instant, a huge rift appeared in the void. Without hesitation, Xuan Qingyun directly entered the rift.

At this moment, Xuan Tian, ​​who was being eroded by the power of soul devouring, suddenly seemed to sense something, and a look of terror appeared on its face. It immediately roared and threatened, "You damned dregs of pills, how dare you harm me! My master will not let you get away with this!!!"

However, just as Xuan Tian finished speaking, his body suddenly exploded.

This……

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He had thought that Xuan Tian was going to retaliate, but it just said a harsh word and then died.

No, Xuan Tian is just a manifestation of the Chaos Beast's consciousness. Even if the consciousness disappears, it doesn't mean that it is dead!

Lu Chen did not let his guard down. However, at that moment, a black sword aura suddenly flew past Lu Chen. A rift spanning the universe appeared again in the void not far from him, and then Xuan Qingyun's body flew out of the rift.

At this moment, Xuan Qingyun held a huge bead that emitted black gas in her hand.

Suddenly realizing something, Lu Chen immediately asked, "This is the core of the Chaos Beast?"

Xuan Qingyun said, "You're not too stupid. With this bead, I will no longer be affected by the power of chaos."

"Now that the Chaos Beast is dead, farewell. You may continue to stay inside its belly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Qingyun and her immortal ship transformed into a black mist and flew towards the distant golden horizon.

Seeing Xuan Qingyun's departing figure, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "You people from the Nine Heavens Academy are still searching for you, the Heavenly Maiden, inside the Chaos Beast's body, but you've managed to escape all by yourself." (End of Chapter)
