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

Just as Celestial Venerable Tianyu was preparing to return to deal with the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon who had attacked the Celestial Realm Allied Forces, a humanoid Dharma image radiating red light appeared in the sky.

The next moment, the red dharma image released a strong killing power, which was felt even by the other celestial venerables besides the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable.

In an instant, almost all the immortals on the battlefield turned their attention to that Dharma image, and even Xuan Qingyun's attention was drawn to the red humanoid Dharma image.

Upon noticing that the demonic power of the Northern Region was being frantically absorbed by the oil lamps emitting red light, and that Lu Chen's strength was rapidly increasing, Xuan Qingyun immediately understood what was going on.

A hint of displeasure appeared on her usually calm face.

Xuan Qingyun murmured to himself:
"He's here."

Xuan Qingyun's displeasure flashed by. Lu Chen had come, but his strength had not yet recovered. Moreover, Tianyan Immortal Domain was her home turf. Even if Lu Chen recovered to the strength of the Immortal King Realm, he would not be her opponent.

Immortal Venerable Tianyu, who was about to return to stop the Celestial Venerable-level demon from slaughtering indiscriminately, froze in mid-air after sensing the aura emanating from Lu Chen.

Is Lu Chen really that strong?

If she remembered correctly, Lu Chen's strongest strength was only at the Immortal King realm. In addition, his strength had declined after entering the Chaos Sea, so it would be difficult for him to unleash the strength of the Immortal King realm at this time.

Could it be that she misunderstood? Chen Lu is not Lu Chen?
Immortal Venerable Tianyu immediately dismissed this thought. The possibility that he wasn't Lu Chen was even smaller, since he could produce an immortal technique to restrain the power of the Heavenly Demon. Moreover, since Lu Chen even had an immortal technique to restrain the power of the Heavenly Demon, he might have obtained other opportunities after going to the Chaos Sea.

Perhaps it was because of the opportunities he encountered in the Chaos Sea that his strength increased rapidly after leaving the Chaos Sea, allowing him to recover to the Immortal King realm, and even surpass the Immortal King realm.

Just as Celestial Venerable Tianyu was thinking this, Lu Chen made his move. Lu Chen's whole body was radiating a blood-red light, he held the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand, and his eyes also emitted a red light, making him look like a god of death.

Sensing Lu Chen's aura, the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to attack Lu Chen. It felt that as long as it devoured the immortal in front of it, its strength would definitely increase significantly. Although this immortal made it feel very dangerous, the other party was not a Celestial Venerable after all.

In an instant, a demonic hand formed from the power of the Heavenly Demon struck directly at Lu Chen, who then channeled his immortal power into the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

"The Azure Dragon's Roar in the Azure Sky!!!"

A blood-red dragon phantom flew out from the Immortal-Slaying Sword, growing larger and larger until it became a giant dragon over a hundred kilometers long. The blood-red dragon crashed directly into the demon's hand.

The moment the crimson dragon touched the demon's hand, the demonic power surrounding it was instantly evaporated, as if purified, turning into white smoke and dissipating into the air.

The demonic hand did not stop Lu Chen's sword. In just a moment, the blood dragon passed directly through the demonic hand and continued to roar towards the Immortal Venerable-level Heavenly Demon.

The demon finally panicked. Countless tentacles emerged from the black mist and quickly intertwined to form a massive shield, the surface of which emanated a dense demonic power.

After the Blood Dragon made contact with the meat shield, the demonic power on the meat shield continued to evaporate rapidly, just like the demonic hand before. Soon, a muffled and painful roar came from the black mist.

"Ah!!!" "Venerable One, save me!!!"

Xuan Qingyun, who was watching from a distance, showed no expression on his face, as if he hadn't seen anything at all.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Taihua and the others were stunned by this scene.

They could sense that the person wielding the sword was at most a Celestial King, yet his sword strike had actually made a Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon beg the Demon Emperor for help.
Is even a Celestial King this strong?
Which sect does this person belong to? How come they've never heard of him before?
Seeing that the Demon Emperor had no intention of rescuing the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon, Dragon Extreme Celestial Venerable launched another attack. He didn't have much time left and had to hurry to destroy the Demon Emperor's great formation and rescue the Celestial Realm Allied Forces trapped inside.

At the same time, Celestial Venerable Tianyu also came to her senses. She immediately came to the vicinity of the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon. Although Lu Chen's sword strike had indeed severely injured the Heavenly Demon, it had not killed it.

Moreover, Celestial Venerable Tianyu clearly felt that Lu Chen's aura weakened instantly, which proved that Lu Chen's sword strike had consumed almost all of his power, and Lu Chen was probably unable to unleash a second sword strike.

At this moment, most of the black mist around the Heavenly Demon's body had evaporated, and the appearance of the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon was revealed to everyone. This Heavenly Demon was an irregular circle, with countless mouths and eyes on its body, as well as tentacles, making it look extremely disgusting and terrifying.

Seeing that the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon was only severely injured and still existed, Lu Chen frowned slightly. That sword strike had indeed exhausted almost all of his power.

If he wanted to unleash another sword strike, he would have to use up one more use of the Immortal King's Curse. However, the location of the Xuan Yue Palace has now been discovered by the Tian Hua Palace, and he needs to save the Immortal King's Curse to guard against the Tian Hua Palace. Therefore, he absolutely cannot use the Immortal King's Curse again now.

Fortunately, Celestial Venerable Tianyu arrived. The Celestial Venerable-level demon had already been severely injured. Celestial Venerable Tianyu was, after all, a Celestial Venerable, and she also knew the Divine Illumination Thousand Lamp Scripture. Dealing with this demon should not be a problem for her.

Just then, the severely injured Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon reacted. Seeing that its body had only been pierced but it had not perished, a surge of anger welled up in its heart.

Its blood-red eyes were fixed on the direction where Lu Chen was, sensing that Lu Chen no longer posed any threat to it.

Without any hesitation, it used its demonic power to condense a giant claw and slammed it towards Lu Chen.

Just as the Heavenly Demon Claw was about to strike Lu Chen, the sky was once again illuminated by the red light of the oil lamp. Immediately afterward, the Heavenly Language Immortal appeared in front of Lu Chen. With a wave of his hand, a large palm formed from the power of ice collided with the Heavenly Demon Claw.

The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable's icy power contained a holy power that restrained the Heavenly Demon's power. When the two forces collided, the Heavenly Demon Claw was instantly vaporized.

Seeing another being that could threaten it, the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon panicked. Without any hesitation, it turned and fled.

Seeing that the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon was trying to escape, Celestial Venerable Tianyu snorted coldly and released his Frost Domain, instantly freezing everything around him.

The black mist that shrouded the demon was also frozen by the ice at this moment.

Feeling that his demonic power was being suppressed by the surrounding icy power, the Celestial Venerable-level demon once again asked Xuan Qingyun for help.

"Venerable One, save..." (End of Chapter)
