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

Eternally Mysterious Taoist's figure continuously darted through the forest, cursing the Sum Emperor in his heart as he fled. If it weren't for the Sum Emperor, he wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

Fortunately, he still had an Exploding Spirit Pill on him. The blast it caused was so powerful that even if it hadn't injured the Celestial, it would at least hold him off for a moment.

Eternally Mysterious Taoist believed in his heart that he could successfully escape. He had lived over a hundred years and faced many dangers, always turning them into blessings. He was certain this time would be no different.

Just as Eternally Mysterious Taoist was comforting himself, suddenly a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, rendering his body immobile in an instant.

Eternally Mysterious Taoist's face changed drastically; he had not expected the other party to catch up so quickly.

Luckily, the state of immobility was lifted in just a moment. As soon as Eternally Mysterious Taoist could move, he immediately counterattacked. More than a dozen tornadoes burst forth from either side of his body and continued to grow larger.

Using Whirlwind again, the spiritual power inside Eternally Mysterious Taoist was nearly depleted. He knew that if he continued like this, he would certainly die here, so he immediately consumed a pill.

The next moment, Eternally Mysterious Taoist's skin turned bright red, and his eyes became blood-red.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Chaoge simply smiled faintly, "So you're prepared to fight to the death?"

Although Xuanyuan Chaoge did not know what potion Eternally Mysterious Taoist had taken, he could tell from his body that it must be a pill that temporarily increased his skill.

Such pills, which boost skill in a short time, were usually forbidden. Consuming these could cause tremendous damage to one's body, some of which was irreversible.

These kinds of drugs were generally used in desperate situations.

At that moment, Eternally Mysterious Taoist shouted, "So what if you're a Celestial! Today, I shall slay a Celestial beyond my own Realm!"

As he spoke, all the leaves in the vicinity started to converge towards Eternally Mysterious Taoist. Soon, he was surrounded by those leaves.

The next moment, a giant dragon made up of leaves charged straight at Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Watching the incoming tornadoes and the giant leaf dragon, Xuanyuan Chaoge didn't show a trace of panic. He slowly raised his right hand.

In an instant, the world seemed to freeze. Streaks of cold light flew out from Xuanyuan Chaoge's body. In just a brief moment, the tornadoes and the giant dragon were shattered by the cold light.

Seeing this, Eternally Mysterious Taoist fell to pieces.

"How... how is this possible..."

Eternally Mysterious Taoist collapsed to the ground, unable to move. This was his last desperate strike, but it had been neutralized in an instant by the opponent.

Is this what a Celestial is?

Is a Celestial's power truly so vast?

He was after all a Pseudo Celestial!

Just one word difference, yet why is the gap so immense!

He couldn't accept this!

With great difficulty, he had become a Pseudo Celestial and was just one step away from becoming a true Celestial, and yet, he was about to die here!

Just then, Eternally Mysterious Taoist's blood-red eyes suddenly stared fixedly at Xuanyuan Chaoge. His body violently rose from the ground, then with a push of his legs, he rapidly charged at Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Xuanyuan Chaoge was startled for a moment, but then quickly understood. He saw through Eternally Mysterious Taoist's intent; Eternally Mysterious Taoist was planning to self-destruct his Dantian and perish together with him.

Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately struck with his palm, sending out a massive palm print directly towards Eternally Mysterious Taoist.

As soon as the palm print touched Eternally Mysterious Taoist, his body exploded instantly.

The self-destruction of a Pseudo Celestial was mightier than the cannons of the North Country. In just an instant, the trees in the center of the forest were destroyed. The earth shook and the aftershocks flew, carrying away the soldiers around Lu Chen.

Feeling the disturbance from the heart of the forest, Lu Chen frowned.

He had basically guessed what was happening; the power of the explosion suggested that the Eternally Mysterious Taoist had likely self-destructed his Dantian.

Originally, he had been using the Absorption Technique to take the Eternally Mysterious Taoist's skill, but it seemed his plan had gone awry.

However, it didn't matter. Although the Eternally Mysterious Taoist was dead, as long as he hurried to the old city, he would still be able to absorb the Sect Hierarch's skill.

Now, although absorbing other's skill no longer increased his Realm, the skills he absorbed could make him stronger, and any excess skill could be transformed and transferred to others.

Mu Zixuan, Dazhou, and Xiaozhou had all become first-grade Martial Artists. They could now receive more of his skill, and by infusing them with more skill, their speed of Realm advancement would greatly accelerate.

Hence, regardless of whether others' skills could enhance his own Realm, Lu Chen did not intend to waste them.

Some time later, Xuanyuan Chaoge returned to Lu Chen. Despite the considerable power of a Pseudo Celestial's self-destruction, it was utterly impossible to kill a Celestial through such an act.

However, when Xuanyuan Chaoge returned to Lu Chen, his clothes were somewhat tattered. His body could withstand the explosion, but his clothes could not.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chaoge's disheveled state, Lu Chen immediately asked, "Are you alright?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge promptly responded, "Your servant is incompetent and could not bring that person back alive."

Lu Chen said, "It doesn't matter, as long as he is dead."

"How about you?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge replied, "Your servant is unharmed; although the blast from his Dantian self-detonation was powerful, it didn't penetrate through your servant's Protective Gang Qi."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was somewhat surprised; such a large explosion still hadn't breached a Celestial's Protective Gang Qi.

Had the strength of Celestials already reached such a level?

That being the case, would firearms be completely ineffective against a Celestial?

And he wondered if nuclear weapons would work...

As Lu Chen was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Chaoge reminded him, "My King, we should hurry to the old city. The noise just now was too loud, and I fear they're already alerted over there. If we're too late, those assassins might escape."

Coming back to his senses, Lu Chen immediately said, "Let's go! To the old city at once!"

Following that, Lu Chen led his soldiers towards the old city.

...

In the old city of Yan County.

Zhuge Zhongguang and the Master of Divine Communication still hadn't taken action; both were still verbally confronting each other.

At that moment, Zhuge Zhongguang tried to persuade, "As the Son of Destiny, the North Prince will inevitably unite the world under one king. In the future, no matter the power, all will submit to the North Prince. Why don't you pledge allegiance now, make your mark and accomplish great deeds?

Do you really have to wait until the North Country's cavalry flattens your strongholds before you bow your heads?"

Hearing Zhuge Zhongguang's words, the Master of Divine Communication let out a laugh, then retorted, "Ridiculous, Zhuge the old traitor, you being a dog is your own business, and yet you have the shamelessness to want us to be dogs with you."

Just then, a giant mushroom cloud appeared in the distance, followed by the earth shaking and mountains swaying.

Approaching closer, a faint wave of Spiritual Power swept over everyone's body. Despite its severely weakened force, it almost knocked those ordinary people to the ground.

Sensing the magnitude of this wave of Spiritual Power, the Master of Divine Communication's expression drastically changed. His eyes, fixed through the window on the mushroom cloud emanating red light in the direction of the new city, were filled with alarm.

The Master of Divine Communication muttered, "Such a massive blast... could it be that a Pseudo Celestial has self-destructed?"

"Could that old thing Heng Yu have run into trouble?"
