Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Lu Yanghua was able to prove the Dao and become an emperor in such a short time partly because he practiced the Heaven Stealing Technique, and partly due to the help from Tianji Pavilion.

Without these two factors, he wouldn't have become an emperor so quickly. If Lu Chen could become an emperor in such a short time without anyone's help, then what level of talent must Lu Chen possess?

Lu Chen said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. You will soon understand what's going on. Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"Lu Yanghua is almost here, and I am right here. If you act against me now, you will be a great hero when the time comes."

Thunderbolt Emperor was silent for a moment, then knelt on one knee, saluting Lu Chen, saying, "I swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and will serve Your Majesty with all my heart."

As Thunderbolt Emperor knelt, the Thunderbolt Army behind him also knelt uniformly. Since their General had made his choice, they could only choose to follow Thunderbolt Emperor.

The Thunderbolt Legion was founded single-handedly by Thunderbolt Emperor, and compared to the Shenyue Dynasty, they were more loyal to Thunderbolt Emperor. This is why Lu Yanghua was constantly depleting the Legion by giving them tasks.

Seeing that Thunderbolt Emperor chose to ally with the Daxia Dynasty, Lu Chen's lips slightly curved upwards. With the Thunderbolt Legion joining, the Daxia Dynasty's strength increased dramatically.

It should be known that within the Shenyue Dynasty's military, many of the Quasi-Emperor were only lacking some Qi Fortune, and thus unable to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, becoming mere cannon fodder on the front lines.

After these Quasi-Emperors joined the Daxia Dynasty, with its Qi Fortune support, there's a high probability they would immediately break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Thunderbolt Emperor, "Stand up, you've made the right decision."

"In fact, what you see is not my main body; what is here is just a clone of mine."

Hearing this, Thunderbolt Emperor, who was just about to stand, was suddenly stunned.

A clone?

How is this possible?

He clearly felt his Divine Soul was complete, how could it be a clone?

But on second thought, he had already chosen to pledge allegiance to the Daxia Dynasty; it seemed Emperor Xia had no need to deceive him now.

If this was just a clone, then what strength must his main body possess?

Could it really be the Heavenly Emperor?

Thinking about this possibility, cold sweat dripped down Thunderbolt Emperor's back.

After all, not everyone dares to claim to be the Heavenly Emperor. Those who proclaim themselves as such without being one have long been punished by the Heavenly Dao, and someone proclaiming without consequence suggests that even if he isn't the Heavenly Emperor in this life, he might have been in a previous one.

Now that Emperor Xia says this body is just a clone, the real main body of Emperor Xia might indeed be a Heavenly Emperor.

If he hadn't chosen to pledge allegiance to the Daxia Dynasty, he would likely now be a corpse.

Thinking of this, Thunderbolt Emperor instead felt relieved, feeling fortunate he chose the Daxia Dynasty.

Next, it would be up to Emperor Xia to deal with the Shenyue Dynasty's army.

Lu Chen glanced at the soldiers of the Thunderbolt Legion, then controlled the Immortal Spirit Umbrella to continue expanding.

When the blue barrier passed over Thunderbolt Emperor's body, electric arcs immediately splashed, and shortly thereafter, a purple avenue filled with lightning appeared before Thunderbolt Emperor.

Thunderbolt Emperor could hardly believe it. He had just defected from the Shenyue Dynasty to the Daxia Dynasty, and he directly broke through?

How could the Daxia Dynasty's Qi Fortune be so abundant?

As the barrier of the Immortal Spirit Umbrella continued to expand outward, more and more vague images of avenues appeared in the void, soon startling the crowd.

"I broke through! I actually broke through!"

"What's going on? Wasn't my Dao Heart shattered? Why was it suddenly restored!"

"Oh my god, the Daxia Dynasty's Qi Fortune is actually so abundant!"

...

The soldiers of the Thunderbolt Legion were all shocked by the Daxia Dynasty's rich Qi Fortune. Some of them originally did not want to join the Daxia Dynasty, only forced by circumstance due to the leadership's choice. If they didn't follow, their only option was death.

Some even thought of pretending to join the Daxia Dynasty first, then switching allegiance when the Shenyue Dynasty army arrived.

But after experiencing the benefits brought by the Daxia Dynasty's abundant Qi Fortune, those soldiers with defection plans in their hearts immediately dropped their ideas.

Such abundant Dynast Qi Fortune suggests that the Daxia Dynasty's strength might far surpass the Shenyue Dynasty's.

In this battle between the Shenyue Dynasty and the Daxia Dynasty, the outcome was uncertain.

Soon, most of the Quasi-Emperors in the Thunderbolt Legion broke through to the Great Emperor Realm, and Lu Chen, after investigating, found that there were now more than twenty additional Great Emperors.

Thunderbolt Emperor stared blankly at his own legion, realizing that their overall strength now could rival some top empires.

This was merely because they changed empires, truly astounding.

Could the Daxia Dynasty have such abundant Qi Fortune because Emperor Xia is truly the Heavenly Emperor?

Considering this possibility, Thunderbolt Emperor's breathing became rapid.

That would be the Heavenly Emperor!

The most pinnacle existence in the cosmos, he hadn't even heard of anyone taking that step.

...

After witnessing the Daxia Dynasty's rich Qi Fortune, not a single soldier in the Thunderbolt Legion wanted to leave the Daxia Dynasty. The high-ranking officers in the Thunderbolt Legion, especially those who attained the Great Emperor status due to the Qi Fortune, had become utterly devoted to the Daxia Dynasty.

If not for the Daxia Dynasty's Dynasty Qi Fortune, how many Quasi-Emperors would fail to break through to the Great Emperor Realm on the day of the Era Tribulation?

The collective defection of the Thunderbolt Legion to the Daxia Dynasty swiftly reached the ears of those in other Shenyue Dynasty armies at the rear.

Spirit Martial Star Domain, Wind Moon World.

Here was where the Ziji Legion was temporarily stationed, inside a grand and spectacular building where a group was gathered, looking at the star map in the main hall and discussing matters.

Just then, a voice from a Quasi-Emperor Deputy General echoed outside the hall, "General, something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing the deputy's urgent voice, Emperor Zi Ji's brows furrowed. Something terrible had happened?

What kind of bad things could they encounter?

Could it be that another top-tier force declared war against the Shenyue Dynasty?

That's unlikely. With the Tianji Pavilion as a backing, what top-tier force in the cosmos would dare declare war against the Shenyue Dynasty?

Emperor Zi Ji glanced at the deputy reporting intelligence, asking, "What happened?"

The deputy quickly replied, "News from the front lines: Thunderbolt Emperor has defected, taking the Thunderbolt Legion to join the Daxia Dynasty."

"It was led by the Ninth Prince... Oh, no—by that rebel who founded the empire."

Hearing this, everyone present, including Emperor Zi Ji, showed a look of disbelief.

Thunderbolt Emperor pledged allegiance to the Daxia Dynasty?

This...

Was Thunderbolt Emperor insane to pledge allegiance to the Daxia Dynasty?
