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

As Emperor Shenwu struck, everyone above the Heavenly Mechanism World was quickly annihilated, leaving only the main members of the Tianji Pavilion hiding within the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

Gazing at the tower rising in the Heavenly Mechanism World, Emperor Shenwu sneered and once again mobilized the Heavenly Demon Power.

The power of the Heavenly Demon instantly converged into a massive handprint, directly striking towards that tower.

The moment the handprint formed by the Heavenly Demon Power came into contact with the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, the tower's spire cracked inch by inch, and soon the entire tower started to collapse downwards.

The cultivators within the tower, sensing its collapse, were frightened and fled from various exits. Some Great Emperors attempted to leave the Heavenly Mechanism World through Space Teleportation, only to find they couldn't break through the spatial blockade of Emperor Shenwu.

Seeing the struggling Great Emperors, Emperor Shenwu snorted coldly and said to the air, "Xuan Tian, if you don't come out now, your Tianji Pavilion will become history."

He believed that with Xuan Tian's power, he surely knew what was happening here. Emperor Shenwu was eager to find out if Xuan Tian still cared about the Tianji Pavilion.

However, after a quarter-hour low had passed without Xuan Tian revealing himself, Emperor Shenwu told the Great Emperors of the Heavenly Mechanism World, "Blame your Tower Master for abandoning you."

With those words, Emperor Shenwu once again mobilized the Heavenly Demon Power, and the gigantic handprint formed by it struck directly at the Great Emperors of the Tianji Pavilion, who tried to resist but found their spiritual power suppressed upon contact with the demonic force; they couldn't even execute their magic.

Thus, the entire Heavenly Mechanism World was effortlessly destroyed by Emperor Shenwu, and the Tianji Pavilion completely vanished from the Central Star Domain.

As for those Great Emperors who had already fled, Emperor Shenwu had no intention of letting them go either, vowing to eliminate any roots; since they were related to Xuan Tian, none should survive in this world.

Still, Emperor Shenwu did not immediately pursue those Great Emperors. After consuming so many of the Tianji Pavilion's Great Emperors, he suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.

Subsequently, Emperor Shenwu returned to the Shenyue Dynasty.

The emperors of the Shenyue Dynasty were still waiting in the grand hall. Some were considering witnessing how Emperor Shenwu destroyed the Tianji Pavilion, only to find his figure already returned to the hall.

Emperor Shenwu glanced across the emperors in the hall and said with a hint of fatigue, "From today, the Shenyue Dynasty declares war on all top forces in the universe. I don't need them to surrender to the Shenyue Dynasty; I want them all to become nourishment for the Shenyue Dynasty!"

Hearing this, the gathered emperors grew excited. Since their transformation into heavenly demons, they had been craving cultivators, akin to the desire for delectable food.

Emperor Shenwu's words meant they could indulge in devouring humans without restraint.

The heavenly demon emperors knelt and said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!!!"

Initially, some of these emperors worried that Emperor Shenwu retained some human divine sense and might have some resistance to eating humans. But since Emperor Shenwu declared no acceptance of surrender, nothing would stop them from feasting.

Emperor Shenwu surveyed the emperors present, sensing their restless emotions. He quickly grasped their thoughts but cared little. After all, he had begun consuming cultivators himself; he couldn't possibly forbid his subordinates from doing the same.

In any case, it no longer mattered; they had all become heavenly demons, inherently opposing the cultivators. The cultivators of the Central Star Domain might unite against the Shenyue Dynasty, so there was no need to be polite to those top forces.

Pretend to strike first while the Great Emperors of those top forces had traveled to the Outer Domain. It was an opportune moment to destroy their great arrays. When those emperors returned, they would be without sanctuary, allowing him to devour as many great emperors as he pleased.

With this in mind, Emperor Shenwu waved his hand, his body transforming into a wisp of black smoke and departing the hall, as the emperors said in unison, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Shenwu left, the Shenyue Dynasty immediately issued an announcement that they would wage war against all top forces of the Central Star Domain.

Upon hearing this news, some top forces could hardly believe it. They had personally witnessed Emperor Shenwu and the Tower Master of the Tianji Pavilion heading toward the Outer Domain. How could the Shenyue Dynasty dare to declare war on all top forces of the Central Star Domain without Emperor Shenwu?

The key was that the Shenyue Dynasty's announcement was extremely arrogant. They not only declared war on all top forces of the Central Star Domain but also refused to accept any surrender, indicating an intent for a mass slaughter to clear out the entire Central Star Domain.

Just as people suspected this might be a false rumor, news soon spread that the Tianji Pavilion had been destroyed, with fleeing Great Emperors of the Tianji Pavilion confirming its destruction.

The destruction of the Tianji Pavilion, one of the universe's oldest forces, immediately heightened vigilance among the top forces of the Central Star Domain. They quickly dispatched spies to investigate the destruction of the Tianji Pavilion and gather intelligence on the Shenyue Dynasty.

Soon, the information they gathered terrified the various top forces into activating their great arrays. The Shenyue Dynasty had been wholly enveloped by the power of heavenly demons; it was now an empire of heavenly demons, devoid of humanity, composed entirely of demons.

With the Demon Cave situated in Central Star Domain, right beside them, the emperors of the top forces could barely focus on cultivation.

Without the relatively neutral Tianji Pavilion to mediate, it was difficult for those ancient Holy Lands to organize a union, though some Holy Land emperors still stepped forward, calling for the unity of the top forces within the Central Star Domain to resist the heavenly demons of the Shenyue Dynasty.

At this moment, outside the Qingyue Holy Land.

The fleet of the Daxia Dynasty was stationed outside the Qingyue Holy Land, not launching an immediate attack.

Lu Chen was contemplating whether to strike directly or let the fleet attack when an emperor responsible for intelligence gathering approached Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, there's information from the Shenyue Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen inquired, "What moves has the Shenyue Dynasty made?"

The emperor produced a Memory Stone and handed it to Lu Chen. Scanning its contents with his divine sense, Lu Chen thought to himself, it seems the Tianji Pavilion was indeed destroyed by Emperor Shenwu.

Acting to one's doom with no one to blame, yet speaking of which, why has Xuan Tian not appeared despite the destruction of the Tianji Pavilion? Where could Xuan Tian have gone, leaving behind even the Tianji Pavilion he created?

Emperor Taikang and others approached Lu Chen, and Thunderbolt Emperor asked, "Your Majesty, shall we attack now?"

After some thought, Lu Chen tossed the Memory Stone to Thunderbolt Emperor and the others. As they scanned its contents with their divine sense, they were all left stunned.
