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

Just as the Imperial Dragon Sect and other forces in the Imperial Mountain Star Region were preparing to flee, a powerful pressure suddenly enveloped the entire Imperial Mountain Star Region.

Under this oppressive force, no cultivator could move, not even a saint.

Moreover, people soon discovered that the entire Huangshan Starfield was sealed off. At this time, the Huangshan Starfield was like a cage, and they were all locked up.

The faces of those saints turned deathly pale in an instant. Their oppressive aura could spread throughout the entire star field and seal off the space of the entire star field. Only a Great Emperor could do that.

In other words, the Great Emperor of the Chaotic Star Sea has arrived in the Huangshan Star Region!

How is that possible!

Although the Chaotic Star Sea appears to be right next to the Huangshan Star Region, the two are actually quite far apart. Logically, even an emperor would need some time to travel there, so how could the other party have arrived at the Huangshan Star Region so quickly?

Could it be that Emperor Xia did not only have one Great Emperor by his side, but also arranged for another Great Emperor to guard the Huangshan Star Region in order to prevent them from escaping?

Upon considering this possibility, all the saintly cultivators in the Huangshan Star Region fell into despair.

At this moment, the Golden-Armored Emperor's powerful voice resounded throughout the entire star field, "Cultivators at the eighth level of the Returning Void Realm or above, immediately hand over your life essence blood! Otherwise! Die!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the Imperial Dragon Sect were on the verge of tears. They had just offended the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan and were originally planning to escape, but they were stopped by the Great Emperor. If they continued to stay in the Huangshan Star Region, the Quasi-Emperor of Huangshan would definitely find a way to eliminate them all.

Now there is only one way left, which is to completely surrender to the Great Xia Dynasty and become its lackey. Under the protection of the Great Xia Dynasty, even if Emperor Huangshan wants to do anything to the Imperial Dragon Sect, he will have to consider the Xia Emperor's opinion.

Thinking of this, Wu Peng immediately said to the cultivators of the Dragon Control Sect, "Listen to that Great Emperor's words and hand over your life essence!"

As soon as Wu Peng finished speaking, all the cultivators above the eighth level of the Returning Void Realm of the Imperial Dragon Sect handed over their life essence blood. The next moment, all the life essence blood floating in the air flew into the hands of the Golden Armor Emperor outside the Heavenly Fire World.

After collecting the life essence of those cultivators, the Golden-Armored Emperor respectfully handed it to Lu Chen and said, "My lord, there are still a few Saint-level cultivators who haven't handed over their life essence. What do you think we should do with them?"

Lu Chen chuckled lightly. There were always one or two people who were hoping for the best, thinking that the Great Emperor wouldn't discover that they hadn't handed over their life essence. The Great Emperor's detection range was the entire star field; how could those saints possibly hide?

Lu Chen collected all the life essence blood from Wu Peng's hand and then said, "Since they are unwilling to submit, then kill them all."

Although Lu Chen needs to expand his power, if his subordinates are disobedient and turn east or west, then having more subordinates is useless. It's a good opportunity to eliminate some people to deter those traitors.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's command, the Golden Armored Emperor beside Lu Chen did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand, and immediately streams of law power spread out from his hand. The next moment, a giant golden hand appeared in the sky above several saints hiding in the Huangshan Star Region.

Sensing the giant golden hand, the saints were terrified and fled, but they soon discovered that their bodies were bound and they could not move at all. They could only watch helplessly as the giant golden hand fell and crushed their bodies and souls together.

Below the Great Emperor, all are ants. A Sage can still contend with a Quasi-Emperor, but when facing a Great Emperor at the peak of his power, he can only be unilaterally crushed.

After dealing with those saints, the Golden-Armored Emperor respectfully said to Lu Chen, "My lord, those saints have all been dealt with."

Lu Chen nodded. "Summon all the leaders of the top-tier forces within the Huangshan Star Region to come to the Tianhuo World to see me immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

Immediately afterwards, the Emperor's voice rang out once again in the minds of all cultivators in the Huangshan Star Region.

"Leaders of all first-rate forces, immediately proceed to the Heavenly Fire World to pay homage to your master!"

Upon hearing this message, the leaders of the various forces in the Huangshan Star Region did not hesitate at all and immediately flew towards the Heavenly Fire World, especially Wu Peng of the Imperial Dragon Sect.

They have offended Emperor Huangshan, and now their only way to avoid Emperor Huangshan's retaliation is to curry favor with Emperor Xia, otherwise they are doomed.

Before long, the leaders of all the top-tier forces in the Huangshan Star Region arrived in the void of the Tianhuo World. When they saw Lu Chen, they were immediately incredulous.

Their secondary bodies had already transmitted Lu Chen's appearance to their main bodies through a divine connection, so they all knew what the Xia Emperor looked like.

What people found hard to believe was that Emperor Xia had arrived in the Huangshan Star Region in such a short time. How did he manage to do that?

Could it be that the Xia Emperor before us is an avatar? In fact, he has already existed in the Huangshan Star Region?

It seems that this is the only explanation right now.

People no longer knew about the Saint-level teleportation gate, and could only regard Lu Chen in front of them as the main body or an avatar.

However, now is not the time to care about these things. The world in the Huangshan Star Region has changed. From now on, they are all just servants of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Xia Emperor.

The thought of becoming someone else's slaves and losing their freedom made all the leaders present look extremely ugly, each of them appearing constipated.

Lu Chen glanced at the leaders of all the factions present and said calmly, "It seems you're all quite dissatisfied?"

Upon hearing this, the people immediately bowed and said, "We are completely convinced!"

Lu Chen didn't say anything more. His gaze swept over these people, and he used the system to identify their personal information.

This time, he subdued a total of twenty-three saints, none of whom had a loyalty level exceeding forty.

However, Lu Chen didn't care about their loyalty. Now that their life essence was in his hands, even if they were unwilling to be loyal to him, they had to obey him. Otherwise, he could eliminate them with just a thought.

Lu Chen didn't intend to say anything more at this moment. The reason he had invited these people was simply to see their personal information. Now that he had a basic understanding of their situation, all he needed to do next was to bring the entire Huangshan Star Region under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lu Chen then said, "From now on, the Huangshan Star Region will be incorporated into the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, and you will all be subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Alright, you may all return today. I will convene a cultivators' conference in a month, at which time I will issue some imperial decrees."

Immediately, everyone bowed and said in unison, "We take our leave!"

Soon, the leaders of the various factions returned to their respective factions, but Wu Peng and a group of Yulong Sect cultivators did not leave.

Seeing that Wu Peng had not yet left, the Golden-Armored Emperor asked, "Why haven't you all left yet!"

Wu Peng immediately led the elders of the Imperial Dragon Sect to kneel down. "Your Majesty, we disturbed Your Majesty by leading Venerable Huangshan to the Chaos Star Sea. We beg Your Majesty's punishment!" (End of Chapter)
