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

When the Thunder Serpent Immortal King activated all his protective magical treasures, the Blood Dragon stopped a dozen feet away from him. However, the terrifying pressure released by the Blood Dragon still prevented him from moving.

Seeing that he had barely managed to block the sword energy carrying killing power, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, just when he thought he had escaped a calamity, suddenly, the golden protective light in front of him shattered like glass.

Thunder Serpent Immortal King's expression changed drastically again. The next moment, the blood dragon crashed directly into his body, and in an instant, he was sent flying backward, and the Dharma image in the sky also dissipated.

Perhaps because his protective magic item helped him block the attack, the power of Lu Chen's sword strike was greatly weakened. Although the Thunder Serpent Immortal King was seriously injured after being blasted away, he recovered quickly.

Feeling the destructive power constantly damaging his body, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King couldn't help but clench his fists.

Within the killing domain, his strength had been greatly weakened. In addition, his opponent was very strong, and the power of killing was far greater than that of thunder. He had almost no chance of winning against this person.

Thunder Serpent Immortal King was somewhat puzzled. Why would such a powerful Immortal King, who had attained enlightenment through killing, come to a place like the Wilderness?

Logically speaking, the place that the other party pursues killing should be the Northern Region. Now that the Demon Emperor has returned, a large-scale war will definitely break out in the Northern Region. This is the best battlefield for an immortal who proves his Dao through killing to improve his strength.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King said, "Fellow Daoist, with such great strength, why did you come to the Wilderness? The Northern Region is the place you should be going..."

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Where I want to go is my freedom."

Thunder Serpent Immortal King clenched his fist, but then helplessly let go. He knew that there was no point in continuing to struggle like this, so he said directly, "If I am not mistaken, you are planning to establish an immortal dynasty, aren't you?"

A Celestial King creating a dynasty is definitely not just for fun; it's highly likely that it's preparation for establishing a Celestial Dynasty. Given that the other party wants the land of the Thunder Serpent Sect, the possibility of establishing a Celestial Dynasty is extremely high.

Lu Chen did not respond to the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's words. At this moment, he began to gather his killing power again. Seeing that Lu Chen was about to make a move again, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King hurriedly said, "I am willing to submit to the Great Qin Dynasty and become its worshipper!"

"If I join the Great Qin Dynasty, it will surely increase the fortune of the Great Qin Dynasty, and when you establish your own immortal dynasty, it will be easier to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King was gambling. He was betting that the other party cared more about the Immortal Dynasty. Generally speaking, those who prove their Dao through killing are more fond of slaughter. If he had encountered a murderous Immortal King under other circumstances, he would have been very likely to be killed. After all, those who prove their Dao through killing need to constantly kill strong people to become stronger.

However, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King believed that an Immortal King who intended to establish an Immortal Dynasty, even one who sought enlightenment through killing, should have restrained his bloodlust.

Of course, if the other party refuses and insists on cultivating the path of slaughter by stepping on his corpse, then he can only fight to the death, or perish together with the other party.

At this moment, the Razer Immortal King was prepared to self-destruct his divine soul and perish together with Lu Chen.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen said, "Soul Source."

Upon hearing these two words, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King hesitated for a moment. If he handed over his Soul Source, his life and death would be completely controlled by the Immortal King in front of him, and he wouldn't even be able to self-destruct his soul.

Seeing that the Thunder Serpent Immortal King hesitated, Lu Chen gathered his killing power again. He didn't have much time and was too lazy to waste words with the Thunder Serpent Immortal King. After dealing with the Thunder Serpent Immortal King, he still had to go and help the Lingyin Immortal King.

Seeing that Lu Chen was about to make a move, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King clenched his fist again. If he did not hand over his soul source and chose to self-destruct his divine soul, he might not be able to perish together with this Immortal King in the killing domain.

He preferred to live rather than die. Although his opponent was a Celestial King who had attained enlightenment through slaughter, the opponent intended to establish a Celestial Dynasty, and the Celestial King's participation should be even more important to the Great Qin. With this in mind, the Thunder Serpent Celestial King handed over his Soul Source without hesitation. Seeing the Soul Source floating in the air, Lu Chen raised his hand, and the Soul Source flew into his hand.

The next moment, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King felt that his life was in someone else's hands. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but in order to survive, he could only try to adapt to this feeling.

At this moment, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King took the initiative to bow and said, "This old minister pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

As Razer Immortal King surrendered, Lu Chen immediately felt the fortune of the Great Qin Dynasty surge dramatically.

Lu Chen then withdrew the killing domain, and with its disappearance, the sky returned to its original state.

The instant the killing domain disappeared, the voice of the Thunder Serpent Immortal King appeared in the sky above the battlefield, "From this day forward, the Thunder Serpent Sect surrenders to the Great Qin Dynasty. All members of the Thunder Serpent Sect, cease all fighting immediately!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Thunder Serpent Sect members, who were preparing to launch a counterattack, froze in place.

Their leader surrendered?
So, their sect leader and that Slaughtering Immortal King have already decided the victor?

A sense of defeat washed over everyone in the Thunder Serpent Sect.

However, they also understood that it was unlikely for an ordinary Celestial King to defeat a Celestial King who possessed the power of killing, unless the opponent was seriously injured or nearing the end of his life.

Of course, there is another way, which is to use formations to buy time for the enemy, but this is not the Thunder Serpent Sect. The Thunder Serpent Sect's formations are useless. In this situation, it seems that there is no other way but to surrender.

As the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's voice faded, the battle between the Thunder Serpent Sect and the Great Qin Dynasty instantly ceased.

Just then, a series of loud explosions suddenly came from afar, followed by sandstorms surging in like waves. This was clearly caused by the battle between Lingyin Immortal King and Liusha Immortal King.

Lu Chen's body then transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the location of Lingyin Immortal King and Liusha Immortal King.

Soon, he arrived at the desert where the two were. At this time, the Sand Immortal King was covered in wounds, with bloodstains on the corner of his mouth. The Dharma image behind him had also become much more illusory, as if it was about to disappear at any moment.

When the Sand Demon King sensed the presence of another Demon King, his expression changed drastically. Seeing that the newcomer was not the Thunder Serpent Demon King, but someone he did not recognize, he became even more flustered.

What's going on? Why are there other Celestial Kings here? Where is the Thunder Serpent Celestial King?

When Lingyin Immortal King saw Lu Chen appear here, he knew that the battle on the main battlefield had ended, so he did not continue to make a move.

The Sand Immortal King looked at Lu Chen warily, then said, "May I ask who you are, friend? The Xuan Yue Palace shouldn't have any male Immortal Kings, right?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "I am naturally not the Immortal King of the Xuan Yue Palace."

Upon hearing Lu Chen refer to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I, the Imperial Emperor"), the Flowing Sand Immortal King instantly realized that this was the founder of the Great Qin Dynasty!
He immediately understood why it was the Great Qin Dynasty that was rallying forces to attack the Thunder Serpent Sect, rather than the Profound Moon Palace taking action; this was clearly preparation for establishing a Celestial Dynasty. (End of Chapter)
