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

Before the demon could finish his plea for help, a cold, emotionless voice echoed across the northern region.

"waste."

The cold female voice clearly came from Xuan Qingyun.

Just as Xuan Qingyun finished speaking, suddenly, a powerful force of celestial demons burst forth from the spatial rift, and this force directly entered the body of the Immortal Venerable-level celestial demon.

With the input of the Heavenly Demon Power, the body and strength of that Immortal Venerable-level Heavenly Demon were rapidly recovering.

Upon seeing this, Celestial Venerable Tianyu frowned deeply. She hadn't expected that even though the Heavenly Demon had been severely injured, he could recover so quickly.

No, I can't let him continue to recover. If he recovers all his strength, it will be even more difficult for me to deal with him later.

Thinking this, Celestial Venerable Tianyu prepared to make another move. However, to his surprise, Lu Chen suddenly transmitted his voice to him, "Master, leave this place immediately!!!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's telepathic message, Celestial Venerable Tianyu was taken aback, wondering why Lu Chen wanted him to leave at this time.

However, since it was Lu Chen, Celestial Venerable Tianyu still intended to listen.

Thinking of this, Celestial Venerable Tianyu's body instantly transformed into a stream of light. Then, she used her immortal power to envelop Lu Chen's body and took him away from the battlefield.

At the same time, Lu Chen continued to remind the other immortals on the battlefield, "It's about to self-destruct! Leave this place immediately!!!"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's telepathic message, the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm Allied Forces immediately changed their expressions. Seeing that even the Immortal Venerable Tianyu was beginning to distance himself from the battlefield, the Immortal Kings also chose to believe Lu Chen's words. Subsequently, the Immortal Kings transformed into streaks of light and left the battlefield.

Not long after they left, the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon, who was in a state of excitement, realized something was wrong. The vast Heavenly Demon power was still continuously entering his body. The Heavenly Demon's body had something that restrained the Heavenly Demon power, so the Heavenly Demon was not affected by the backlash of the Heavenly Demon power. However, once there was too much Heavenly Demon power in his body, the balance of power in his body would be broken.

With the power within the Heavenly Demon's body shattered, what will happen next is self-evident.

The demon finally realized why Xuan Qingyun had helped him, and cried out, "No!!!"

The Heavenly Demon's body rapidly expanded, and then the entire Northern Region suddenly fell silent. The next moment, a vast power surged out from the body of that Immortal Venerable Heavenly Demon.

The instant the Heavenly Demon exploded, a huge black hole appeared in the sky above the Northern Region. Everything near the black hole was sucked in, while things farther away from the black hole were pushed out by the aftershocks of the explosion.

The self-destruction of the Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon directly blew away a quarter of the Northern Region. After the explosion, the void was filled with fragments of the world and spatial turbulence. Chaotic energy continued to surge in, and some ordinary immortals, after being eroded by the chaotic energy, quickly turned their bodies and souls into black smoke.

At this moment, Tianyu Immortal Venerable, who was far from the center of the explosion, turned around and saw the scene in front of her. She couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Lu Chen hadn't reminded her just now, she would probably have been seriously injured even if she hadn't died.

At that moment, a terrifying conjecture suddenly surfaced in the mind of Celestial Venerable Tianyu.

The Demon Emperor wouldn't order a Celestial Venerable-level demon to self-destruct for no reason, would she? After all, a Celestial Venerable possessed such strength; such a self-destruction would mean losing a high-level combatant. Was she suddenly ordering it to self-destruct to threaten the other Celestial Venerables?
Even the self-destruction of her Celestial Venerable-level Heavenly Demon possessed such terrifying power, so if she were to self-destruct, the entire Northern Region would probably be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Celestial Venerable Tianyu felt a chill run down her spine. She looked at the Celestial Venerables who were fighting the Demon Emperor and a worried expression appeared on her face.

After a long silence, Celestial Venerable Tianyu withdrew her gaze and looked at Lu Chen in the sky below, asking, "How did you know it was going to self-destruct?"

Just now, when she saw the vast power of the Heavenly Demon suddenly surge in the void, she thought that the Demon Emperor wanted to save that Immortal Venerable. Who would have thought that it would actually cause it to self-destruct.

In that situation, most people would probably think that the Demon Emperor was healing that Heavenly Demon, since that Heavenly Demon was a high-level combatant.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Intuition."

He was extremely sensitive to the power of the Heavenly Demon, and he also knew that there was a force within the Heavenly Demon's body that balanced the power of the Heavenly Demon. If there was too much Heavenly Demon power, the Heavenly Demon itself would not be able to withstand it. Just now, Xuan Qingyun had poured too much Heavenly Demon power into that Heavenly Demon, so it was clear that she was not trying to save it.

Moreover, Lu Chen had dealt with Xuan Qingyun for so many years, and he knew this woman too well. In Xuan Qingyun's eyes, even the Heavenly Demons were just tools. A Heavenly Demon at the Immortal Venerable level was insignificant to Xuan Qingyun.

Seeing that Lu Chen refused to speak, Tianyu Immortal Venerable did not press him further. She now felt that Lu Chen probably had a lot of secrets.

The explosion behind them naturally caught the attention of Immortal Venerable Taihua and the others. After witnessing how an explosion by an Immortal Venerable-level Heavenly Demon directly destroyed nearly a quarter of the Northern Region, the Immortal Venerables present were all stunned.

They were already wondering if, in the end, the Demon Emperor was no match for them and chose to self-destruct, the destructive power of her self-destruction would kill them all.

The thought of this possibility caused the immortals to waver.

However, they quickly came to their senses. It wasn't that the Demon Emperor was no match for them, but rather that his strength completely overwhelmed them. Rather than worrying about the Demon Emperor self-destructing, they should be most concerned about how to withstand his next attack.

Just then, the entire Tianyan Immortal Realm suddenly trembled. A strange black power permeated the sky above the Tianyan Immortal Realm, and the space of the entire Tianyan Immortal Realm seemed to become distorted at this moment, as if the Tianyan Immortal Realm was about to disappear and return to chaos.

For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the unusual phenomenon in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm. Even Xuan Qingyun stopped his attack and looked up at the sky above the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Lu Chen once again felt that sense of life being threatened. He frowned as he looked at the strange black power above the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm. It was a power he had never encountered before. His heart told him that if he were to come into contact with that power, his soul would likely be eroded.

Just then, when Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerable saw that Xuan Qingyun's attention was focused on the strange phenomenon of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Domain, he immediately felt that his opportunity had come. Without any hesitation, he rushed directly towards Xuan Qingyun.

He then shouted, "Dragon Flame World-Burning Technique!!!"

The next moment, the Dharma image behind Immortal Dragon Venerable directly spat out a purple flame that distorted space towards Xuan Qingyun.

However, the destructive power of Dragon Immortal Venerable's attack was too great, causing space to be shattered. Suddenly, a strange, black, liquid-like force surged out from the spatial rift, and Dragon Immortal Venerable happened to be right next to that rift. (End of Chapter)
