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

Lu Yanghua had already seen the situation clearly. Based on the strength displayed by the Daxia Dynasty, even without considering that the Nine Layers of Realm Great Emperor from the Shenyue Dynasty couldn't break the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty,

Even if the Shenyue Dynasty truly had the capability to break the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty, the secret forces hidden in the shadows of the Daxia Dynasty would not be something the Shenyue Dynasty could handle.

Especially after hearing that the Daxia Dynasty possessed a "Heavenly Emperor," Lu Yanghua increasingly felt that all the doubts in his heart could be answered.

For instance, why Lu Chen could grow so rapidly, why Lu Chen had a barrier that even the Nine Layers of Realm Great Emperor couldn't breach, why so many Great Emperors gathered around Lu Chen.

If there was a true Heavenly Emperor standing behind Lu Chen, then all of this could be explained.

Lu Yanghua finally decided to rely on the power of the Tianji Pavilion to eliminate the threat of the Daxia Dynasty.

Since the matter involved the Heavenly Emperor, it was no longer something he could handle. He believed the Tianji Pavilion might have a solution.

...

Heavenly Mechanism World.

Tianji Pavilion.

Within the Starry Sky Small World, Xuan Tian sat upright in the starry sky, in front of him was a huge projection screen, displaying what was happening in the Lingzhao Super Star Domain Group.

In fact, even if Lu Yanghua hadn't reported the situation of the Daxia Dynasty, Xuan Tian was aware of what was happening in the Lingzhao Super Star Domain Group.

The reason Xuan Tian hadn't intervened was that he hadn't yet thought of a good way to handle it.

His plan was to let Lu Chen continue his external expansion, and then when Lu Chen was far from the Daxia Dynasty, banish the entire Daxia Dynasty from this universe.

In this way, he could avoid breaking the barrier created by the Immortal Artifact of the Daxia Dynasty while also being able to leave Lu Chen behind.

But after observing for some time, Xuan Tian found that Lu Chen was extremely cautious, and whenever he attacked an empire, he would quickly bring it within the protection of the Immortal Artifact's barrier.

In such a situation, once he made a move, Lu Chen would surely notice, and at that point, he would definitely enter the Daxia Dynasty's barrier as soon as possible, thus foiling his plan.

Seeing the content on the screen, Xuan Tian's brows furrowed more and more. He had initially thought that by devouring this powerful being from the Otherworld beyond the Chaotic Sea, he would become more powerful.

But after so many years, he still hadn't refined this being, his Inner Universe had reincarnated countless eras, yet Lu Chen was still alive and kicking.

Especially in this era, Lu Chen actually acquired an Immortal Artifact.

It's simply absurd, where did this Immortal Artifact come from?

Xuan Tian couldn't figure it out.

"Oh well, thinking about it now is useless; what has been eaten by me has never been spat out."

Since there was no one in Lu Chen's universe who could deal with Lu Chen, he'd bring in some more powerful enemies; there would always be someone outside who could handle the Immortal Artifact.

Thinking of this, Xuan Tian began to mobilize the Cosmic Origin Power.

At the same time, the entire universe started to shake. Strange waves of power spread across the universe, and wherever these waves spread, some rifts would appear, as if this universe had already shattered.

After the rifts appeared, thick black gas began to emerge from them. As for this black gas, many empires had some understanding of it.

Soon, the top forces in the universe and the top Holy Lands all dispatched Great Emperors to investigate the situation of those rifts.

The edge of the Daxia Dynasty.

Guihai Star Domain.

Upon hearing that a huge cosmic rift had appeared in the Guihai Star Domain, Lu Chen immediately sent a clone to investigate.

Relative to the entire universe, that rift wasn't very long, only about a dozen light-years.

However, the black gas emitting from the rift gave Lu Chen a strong sense of crisis. He searched his past life's memories and found no mention of such a cosmic rift.

He had no idea what this cosmic rift was about.

Meanwhile,

In the main conference room of the Starship of the War Dragon Army at Lingzhao Super Star Domain Group.

Lu Chen mentioned the rift he saw to the Great Emperors present and asked them for their opinions on this cosmic rift.

Upon hearing that black gas was emanating from the cosmic rift, the Thunderbolt Emperor suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, could that black gas be Evil Qi?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's not Evil Qi; it's a substance I've never encountered before."

The Thunderbolt Emperor said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Chaotic Qi."

Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Chaotic Qi, what is that?"

The Thunderbolt Emperor explained, "It's a gas that permeates the Outer Domain. Chaotic Qi corrodes the human body, and one cannot remain long under its influence."

Lu Chen immediately noticed a key term, "Outer Domain?"

In his past life's memory, there was no mention of an Outer Domain. It seemed the so-called Outer Domain only appeared in this life.

It could also be that he had encountered the Outer Domain earlier in a previous life, but that part of his memory hadn't been unlocked yet.

However, these weren't important; what mattered was that the universe had developed a rift, and gas from the Outer Domain was beginning to spread into this universe, which was not a good thing.

Lu Chen said, "I've never been to the Outer Domain. Tell me about it."

The Thunderbolt Emperor thought for a moment, "The Outer Domain is a relatively chaotic place, and its laws are incomplete. There are many extremely powerful beings from the Otherworld there."

"Back in the day, when I followed Emperor Shenwu to explore the Outer Domain, he encountered a very formidable enemy and after battling with that enemy for three days and nights, he returned and went straight into seclusion."

"As for other secrets of the Outer Domain, I'm not particularly clear."

Lu Chen asked, "Is the Outer Domain so dangerous that people still go there because it contains many treasures?"

The Thunderbolt Emperor replied, "Yes, there are many treasures in the Outer Domain, and they seem to grow naturally."

Lu Chen fell into thought, pondering whether the Outer Domain and this universe belonged to the same universe or if the Outer Domain was another universe.

After contemplating for a moment, Lu Chen planned to send a clone to explore the Outer Domain. Just at the Guihai Star Domain, a rift had appeared, and passing through that space rift should allow direct access to the Outer Domain.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about this, he suddenly sensed a thick Evil Qi appearing behind him.

Turning around, he saw Empress Tianhong, whose entire body emitted a blood-red glow.

Lu Chen asked, "What's this?"

Empress Tianhong's scarlet eyes stared intently into Lu Chen's eyes, coldly saying, "I want to go to the Outer Domain."

In this universe, killing a few people required looking at Lu Chen's mood, but going to the Outer Domain, she could kill those beings from the Otherworld as much as she wanted.

For Empress Tianhong, the Outer Domain was her true battlefield and also the fastest place for her to restore her Cultivation State.

However, she didn't go quietly by herself. She was worried that Lu Chen might use the Artifact Spirit Contract to summon her back.
