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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Emperor Yue immediately replied, "If you want to see what I look like, then we'll have to see if you, Emperor Xia, have the ability."

When people meet on the battlefield, most would talk about morality and such, but Emperor Yue did not say anything about these things.

Lu Chen had already prepared his reply. As soon as the Emperor Yue said that he had invaded Dayue, he would immediately say that the Emperor Yue had colluded with the barbarians, betrayed the ancestors of Dayue, and betrayed the people of Dayue.

As it turned out, Emperor Yue didn't say any of these superficial things, so Lu Chen's prepared rebuttals were completely useless.

Since the other party wasn't going to bring up these issues, Lu Chen, as the aggressor, couldn't very well bring up matters of morality.

Then it all comes down to who has the more ruthless methods and the stronger fist.

Lu Chen then said, "You will soon find out whether I have the ability or not."

At this point, Lu Chen immediately drew his Emperor's Sword from his waist and shouted, "Attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the artillerymen immediately began to form ranks. In no time, the artillerymen had formed their ranks, and at the same time, Dayue's army had also formed ranks.

The battle strategy devised by Lu Chen and his team was very simple: first, use cannons to bombard the Dayue army. Faced with cannons, the Dayue army could only use the so-called battle formation for defense. As a result, the battle formation would inevitably suffer some losses.

After the battle formation of Dayue was exhausted, the celestial beings of Daxia were able to make their move.

However, Lu Chen soon realized that their plan was not going to work.

As the bugle sounded, a cannon boomed, followed by the echoes of countless shells reverberating over the basin.

Just as the cannonballs were about to hit the Dayue army, suddenly, the sound of bells came from the carriage where the Emperor Yue was sitting.

Immediately afterwards, the sound waves from the bells seemed to become visualized, turning into ripples like water.

The next moment, when the shells hit the ripples of the bell, they were directly attracted by the visible sound waves, and then the shells exploded in the air above the Dayue army.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Great Xia army were stunned. What kind of powerful force was this that could block all the cannonballs?

At this moment, the soldiers of Great Xia also realized that the battle that followed was no longer something they could participate in. The Celestials had already made their move, and only the Celestials could deal with them.

Seeing the shells exploding in the sky, Lu Chen was not surprised. He had long realized that the barbarian goddess and the Moon Emperor might be celestial beings.

Since we have to deal with the Celestials, we have no choice but to send them into battle. Lu Chen then shouted, "All troops, retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the drums of the Great Xia army sounded, and the Great Xia army quickly retreated. At this time, the Great Yue army remained in place and did not launch an attack.

The Great Xia army completed its withdrawal in a very short time, retreating to a very far place. At this time, only Lu Chen, the Luoyang Sword Sect, and the people of the Taichu Holy Temple remained in the original location.

Sensing the auras of the two powerful figures beside Lu Chen, Mu Yunxi and Yue Huang were both puzzled. Wasn't it said that Lu Chen had four Celestial Beings by his side? Why were there only two Celestial Beings at this moment?

Where did the other two celestial beings go?

Or perhaps their intelligence was flawed, and in reality, the Great Xia only had two Celestials?

If the Great Xia only had two Celestials, even without a battle formation, the two of them would be able to fight against the Great Xia.

Just as Mu Yunxi and Emperor Yue were thinking this, Lu Chen, riding on his horse, said loudly, "I've heard that the Great Yue's battle formation is extremely powerful, possessing the ability to contend with celestial beings. I'd like to know if it's as rumored."

"I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to let me see it!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yue immediately replied, "Since Emperor Xia wishes to witness the battle formations of Great Yue, then I will grant Emperor Xia's wish!"

At this point, Emperor Yue coldly ordered the Great Yue army, "Form ranks!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than horns sounded above the Dayue army, and soon the sound echoed throughout the basin.

Immediately, the armies of Dayue quickly adjusted their positions. Although they did not immediately activate their battle formations, they could do so as soon as the celestial beings of Daxia made their move.

Lu Chen was puzzled when he saw that the Dayue soldiers had adjusted their positions and then stopped moving. This was what they called a battle formation, and it didn't seem like anything special.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, suddenly, a huge golden dragon appeared in the sky above an army of Dayue.

The golden dragon headed straight for Lu Chen and his group. Lu Chen hadn't expected Dayue to launch an attack. It seemed that Dayue didn't take them seriously.

Lu Chen then said to Mu Hongguang and Xia Tianyuan, "Palace Master Mu, Sect Master Xia, it's up to you two now!"

The two replied in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Tianyuan immediately drew his sword and slashed out, unleashing a powerful sword aura that instantly surged towards the golden dragon.

After Xia Tianyuan made his move, Mu Hongguang followed suit, unleashing his aura so powerful that the Dayue soldiers were unable to lift themselves.

However, the soldiers of the other Dayue armies reacted instantly. They immediately used the Shangqing Tenglong Formation, and then four golden dragons rushed towards them.

These four golden dragons exuded a pressure no less than that of celestial beings, and even Mu Hongguang and Xia Tianyuan felt their lives threatened.

As Lu Chen felt the oppressive aura emanating from the golden dragon, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. It was fortunate that he had come in person; otherwise, if he had only sent two Celestial Beings, they might not have been a match for Da Yue.

I never imagined that a battle formation could play such a significant role. If the Great Xia army learns this battle formation, will they be able to withstand the powerful figures from the Misty World in the future?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled.

Just then, four golden dragons arrived in front of Xia Tianyuan and Mu Hongguang, about to attack them. Fortunately, they were celestial beings, so dodging such attacks was not a big problem.

Mu Hongguang and Xia Tianyuan moved at the same time. In a flash, the four golden dragons collided directly, and a huge burst of spiritual energy exploded. The shockwave from the explosion almost blew Lu Chen away from a distance.

Emperor Yue and Mu Yunxi were both surprised to see that Lu Chen was still able to sit on his horse without moving.

Although they all sensed that Lu Chen only possessed the strength of a pseudo-Celestial Being, judging from his ability to withstand the aftershocks of the Shangqing Tenglong Formation's explosion, Lu Chen's true strength was likely already infinitely close to that of a Celestial Being.

This man is indeed quite capable.

Empress Yue snorted coldly, thinking to herself, "No wonder my best friend is so infatuated with this man. He's powerful, has potential, and is so handsome, like a celestial being descended to earth. What woman wouldn't be attracted to him? Perhaps only a heartless woman like her wouldn't be interested in a man like him." (End of Chapter)
