Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1344 - 1034: Qi Shi’s Loyalty

Chapter 1344 -1034: Qi Shi’s Loyalty

Qi Zong controlled his Dharma Manifestation, blasting the Sword Qi doppelgangers that surrounded him while his true body rapidly approached Empress Tianhong.

Since escape was impossible, Qi Zong resolved not to run. He was prepared for mutual destruction with Empress Tianhong.

Both were in the Great Emperor Second Realm; he refused to believe that even by burning his Divine Soul, he couldn’t manage something against Empress Tianhong.

Though it appeared he was fighting desperately, Qi Zong harbored a sliver of hope, believing that no Great Emperor would want to be injured with a great calamity on the horizon.

As a Great Emperor in the Second Layer Realm, if he self-destructed his Divine Soul, he would deal damage to that woman no matter what.

If that crazy woman saw his desperation, she might fear his self-destruction and cease the pursuit.

Clearly, Qi Zong was too naive. Empress Tianhong wasn’t concerned about his self-destruction; rather, forcing a Great Emperor to self-destruct was what she delighted in the most, reveling in the despair in her enemies’ eyes.

Empress Tianhong transformed into a streak of red light and instantly appeared before Qi Zong’s Dharma Manifestation. Gripping the Emperor’s Sword, she slashed dozens of times, each strike imbued with the Power of Slaughter.

Despite burning his Divine Soul, Qi Zong could only defend passively against Empress Tianhong’s high-frequency attacks.

At that moment, Empress Tianhong raised her left hand. Immediately, a Sword Qi doppelganger floating in the air flew to her hand. Grasping it, she slashed out with one strike.

As Empress Tianhong wielded the Sword Qi doppelganger to release a Sword Qi, she let go, allowing the doppelganger to float in the void once more.

In this manner, while attacking, Empress Tianhong would grab a Sword Qi doppelganger from the void, releasing a Sword Qi with each slash.

The doppelgangers that released Sword Qi seemed unable to withstand the Power of Slaughter infused by Empress Tianhong, beginning to dissipate the moment she cast them off.

From a distance, Lu Chen quickly understood why Empress Tianhong did this. The Power of Slaughter she infused was so immense that even the Emperor’s Sword couldn’t bear it.

So Empress Tianhong first created numerous doppelgangers of the Emperor’s Sword in the void. As she attacked, she grabbed one to release a Sword Qi, and thereafter the doppelganger would disintegrate under the sheer Power of Slaughter.

Fortunately, these doppelgangers were condensed from Empress Tianhong’s Spiritual Power, so even if they disintegrated, they wouldn’t affect the essence of the Emperor’s Sword.

Indeed, the Emperor’s Sword seemed perfectly suited for Empress Tianhong.

As Empress Tianhong swung her Sword Qi, the malice on her body changed from blood-red to black, and her red dress gradually turned dark.

Witnessing this, the fear in Qi Zong’s heart grew immensely.

He couldn’t block Empress Tianhong’s Sword Qi, and with so many swords in the void, he couldn’t envision standing intact after she unleashed her Sword Qi.

Qi Zong felt unwilling; despite being in the same realm and burning his Divine Soul, why couldn’t he withstand even one strike of Empress Tianhong’s Sword Qi?

Was a Great Emperor with the Power of Slaughter truly this powerful!

In his moment of distraction, the power of Empress Tianhong’s Sword Qi had grown increasingly terrifying, and countless cracks had appeared on Qi Zong’s Dharma Golden Body.

It was crucial to note that until now, Empress Tianhong hadn’t even revealed her Law Manifestation. Relying on the strength of her physical body alone, she had driven Qi Zong to a dead end.

Seeing that even burning his Divine Soul rendered him no match for Empress Tianhong, Qi Zong was utterly despondent. He roared, “Ye Family, you deceived me!!”

Subsequently, the power within him converged, transforming into countless bloodlines that shot towards the distance.

In the next moment, countless cracks appeared all over Qi Zong’s body, emanating blue light.

Empress Tianhong instantly realized that Qi Zong intended to self-destruct his Divine Soul. The destructive energy from a Great Emperor’s self-destruction could obliterate the entire surrounding star domain, leaving no life below a Great Emperor unscathed.

Seeing Qi Zong poised for self-destruction, Empress Tianhong knew that this fight was nearing its end.

Following this, Empress Tianhong taught Qi Zong a lesson: self-destructing before a Great Emperor wielding the Power of Slaughter was no more than a fantasy.

Empress Tianhong slowly raised her hand, and all the floating Emperor’s Sword doppelgangers in the void emitted a resonant sword hymn.

The Power of Slaughter from Empress Tianhong poured into the Sword Qi doppelgangers she held, and with a wave of her hand, all the doppelgangers shot towards Qi Zong.

Qi Zong had no time to self-destruct his Divine Soul; his Dharma Manifestation was shredded by the Sword Qi doppelgangers, and in an instant, countless Emperor’s Swords imbued with the Power of Slaughter pierced through his body, causing his Divine Soul to explode violently after a brief moment of erosion.

Blue flames erupted in the void, the residual shockwaves sweeping across the entire star domain.

However, the explosion of Qi Zong’s Divine Soul lacked accumulated energy and was not a true self-destruction, limiting its destructive impact.

Qi Shi quickly noticed the explosion. Realizing Qi Zong’s aura had vanished completely, he panicked.

Unable to even defeat Pei Tianlu, he had no chance against the woman wielding the Power of Slaughter.

With their patriarch dead, Qi Shi feared he would be next.

Unwilling to die so young, with a cultivation that could let him live for millions of years, Qi Shi shouted, “Master of Great Sum, I surrender and pledge my allegiance to you!”

Qi Shi wasn’t sure whether Lu Chen or Empress Tianhong was the leader, but for now, stating his submission would suffice.

No matter who the leader was, given his declaration, they might consider sparing him since a Great Emperor like him held considerable value.

Seeing Qi Shi offer his allegiance to Lu Chen, Pei Tianlu frowned. From his standpoint, he didn’t want Qi Shi pledging loyalty to Lu Chen.

After all, the Qingyun Dynasty had intervened in the Chiyue Dynasty’s matters and even sought to annex it. Though now Lu Chen’s servant, Pei Tianlu still harbored some resentment towards the Qingyun Dynasty.

But he also knew that Lu Chen was the master, and had the final say. Despite any resentment, he had to follow Lu Chen’s command.

Pei Tianlu then halted his actions, casting his gaze to the Feihong Immortal Boat a light-year away, awaiting Lu Chen’s decision.

Qi Shi’s voice, amplified by his Great Emperor’s power, quickly reached Lu Chen’s ears from a light-year away.

Considering Qi Shi’s offer of allegiance, Lu Chen fell into contemplation. The Great Sum Dynasty would surely expand.

As it expanded, the enemies they faced would grow more numerous.

Currently, they were dealing with three empires’ Great Emperors. Though their strength wasn’t exceptional, future conflicts might involve super forces with dozens of Great Emperors. At that point, Great Sum’s current strength would fall short.

One more Great Emperor meant an increase in power.

Moreover, Lu Chen sensed that a battle between Great Sum and Shenyue Dynasties, and consequently between him and Emperor Shenwu, was inevitable in the near future.
