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

After the aftershocks of the golden dragon's explosion subsided, Lu Chen dismounted and patted the mare's rump, signaling it to stay away from the battlefield.

Lu Chen's horse immediately understood his meaning and turned around to run away.

Lu Chen then stood still, gazing at the epicenter of the explosion, and exclaimed, "I never imagined that Dayue's battle formation would possess such power! It's just a pity it's not strong enough!"

Hearing this, Yuehuang snorted coldly. Although this man had successfully blocked the aftershocks of the Shangqing Tenglong Formation, and his strength was not bad, it was only the aftershocks of the Shangqing Tenglong Formation after all, and those golden dragons did not directly contact Lu Chen's body.

If the golden dragon phantom of the Shangqing Tenglong Formation were to directly collide with a person, not to mention a pseudo-celestial being, even a celestial being could be severely injured or even perish.

Of course, regardless of whether Lu Chen's words were a provocation or not, the Empress Yue would not allow her soldiers to attack Lu Chen directly, since she still planned to capture him and give him to her good sister as a male concubine.

At this moment, Lu Chen took out the shrunken God-Slaying Spear from his sleeve. As soon as the God-Slaying Spear came out, it instantly grew larger, becoming the size of a Barrett rifle.

Both Yuehuang and Mu Yunxi were stunned when they saw the strange weapon in Lu Chen's hand.

Empress Yue didn't know what grade the God-Slaying Spear was; she just felt that the weapon was very strange.

When Mu Yunxi, who was next to Emperor Yue, came back to her senses, she frowned. She immediately realized what grade the God-Slaying Spear was.

Although she didn't know what type of spiritual weapon the God-Slaying Spear was, or how to use it, as long as it was an Earth-rank spiritual weapon, it would definitely be able to play a very important role.

Mu Yunxi was puzzled. How could a level-elemental spiritual artifact appear in this world?

Would the Heavenly Dao of this world allow the existence of a spiritual artifact of such immense destructive power as a Rank 1 Earth artifact?

The magical artifact is too powerful; when used, it may damage the very essence of this world, thereby destroying it.

Looking at the God-Slaying Spear in Lu Chen's hand, Mu Yunxi fell into deep thought.

This is a bit troublesome. She was already being careful enough, and she didn't dare to act rashly because she was worried about the Heavenly Dao. But she didn't expect that the dangerous things in this world were not only the Heavenly Dao, but also Earth-rank spiritual artifacts.

If the magical artifact in Xia Huang's hand is an offensive type, then given the power of an Earth-rank magical artifact, it is entirely possible that it could injure her body.

No, she can't just sit here and wait to die.

It seems she'll have to sell out her ally, Emperor Yue, first.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi was already prepared to escape, while Emperor Yue, Li Qingrou, was completely unaware that her ally was already plotting an escape.

Just then, the sound of horns rang out again from the Dayue army, and several golden dragons appeared in the sky once more.

Upon seeing these golden dragons, Lu Chen raised the God-Slaying Spear without hesitation and aimed it at one of the golden dragons.

Lu Chen then said to Xia Tianyuan and Mu Hongguang, "Sect Master Xia, Palace Master Mu, come back and replenish my spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, the two reacted instantly. They immediately came to Lu Chen's side and transferred the spiritual energy in their bodies into Lu Chen's body.

Using the God-Slaying Spear consumes a great deal of spiritual energy. Lu Chen is currently only a pseudo-Celestial Being. Even if he can reduce the consumption of the God-Slaying Spear to a minimum, the God-Slaying Spear is still an Earth-rank spiritual weapon, and even the minimum spiritual energy consumption is still enormous.

Seeing Mu Hongguang and Xia Tianyuan return to Lu Chen's side, Mu Yunxi felt even more threatened. However, she still held onto a sliver of hope. Lu Chen was just a pseudo-celestial being. How could a pseudo-celestial being possibly make a terrestrial-grade spiritual artifact recognize him as its master?

Perhaps this Earth-rank spiritual artifact hasn't yet recognized a master. If someone forcibly uses a spiritual artifact that hasn't recognized a master, it could very likely cause a backlash from the artifact.

Backlash from magical artifacts is extremely dangerous, especially high-grade magical artifacts.

Mu Yunxi is now waiting for Lu Chen to be devoured by the spiritual weapon. If Lu Chen is devoured by the spiritual weapon, she can not only easily get rid of Lu Chen, but also obtain a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Although Mu Yunxi's plan was clever, she soon realized that she had underestimated Lu Chen.

Just then, a large ball of purple spiritual energy condensed at the muzzle of the God-Slaying Spear. The spiritual energy contained extremely terrifying power, and just seeing it made Emperor Yue, Li Qingrou, and Mu Yunxi feel their hearts tremble.

Li Qingrou raised an eyebrow. She had been in the Misty World for so many years, and she had never encountered anything that could make her feel this sense of life and death crisis.

This weapon is probably not simple!

Just as Li Qingrou was thinking this, Lu Chen pulled the trigger, and a purple beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the God-Slaying Spear, instantly wiping out all the golden dragons in the sky.

The instant those golden dragons vanished, the massive backlash from the battle formation caused all the soldiers who had constructed it to fall to the ground, with some weaker soldiers dying instantly.

Seeing the Dayue soldiers lying dead in a mass of fallen bodies, Li Qingrou frowned deeply; this was something she had not expected at all.

She originally thought that Lu Chen's reliance was those four celestial beings, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen's real reliance was the terrifying weapon in his hand.

How could such a powerful weapon exist in this world!

Li Qingrou quickly regained her senses; now was not the time to think about this. She coldly said to Mu Yunxi beside her, "You once said that none of the Celestials in this world were your match. Lu Chen is just a pseudo-Celestial, so he's probably no match for you either?"

Upon hearing this question, Mu Yunxi did not show any negative expression. She smiled sweetly and then said, "Of course I am not afraid of him."

Hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Li Qingrou breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now it all depended on whether this barbarian goddess was reliable or not. If this barbarian goddess was unreliable, she might really not be able to deal with Lu Chen.

What Li Qingrou didn't know was that Mu Yunxi wasn't afraid of Lu Chen, but she was terrified of the God-Slaying Spear in Lu Chen's hand.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi thought to herself that it was not so easy for her to gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of this world. She needed to think about this matter carefully.

Although she longed to return to her hometown, she was not about to risk her life for it.

After Lu Chen shattered all of Dayue's battle formations with a single spear thrust, he didn't aim his gun at the carriage carrying Li Qingrou. Instead, he sheathed his God-Slaying Spear and asked, "Does Emperor Yue still consider Dayue's battle formations formidable?"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a series of bell sounds emanated from Li Qingrou's carriage. The next moment, a powerful aura surged out of the carriage, and the carriage door was instantly forced open by this aura.

The next moment, the purple ribbons of his dress were blown wildly by the force of the wind, and a charming and beautiful woman appeared in Lu Chen's field of vision.
