Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1339 - 1029: First Confrontation

Chapter 1339 -1029: First Confrontation

Ye Hongyun couldn’t believe it; the jest Qi Shi made just now had actually come true!

In fact, there were many reasons they couldn’t locate the opposing Great Emperor, such as the opponent possibly possessing a magical treasure that concealed his presence.

However, Ye Hongyun and Qi Zong never thought in that direction, because any magical treasure capable of concealing from an emperor’s detection must be at least a Holy Tier treasure.

They couldn’t believe that someone who only recently became an emperor would have such a treasure.

While Qi Zong didn’t detect Lu Chen’s presence, Lu Chen had already sensed the divine senses of Qi Zong and Ye Hongyun.

He clearly felt two powerful divine senses sweep past the Feihong Immortal Boat, meaning that neither of the divine senses detected the Feihong Immortal Boat, nor the people on it.

Lu Chen was a bit surprised; he did not expect the Feihong Immortal Boat to have the ability to shield against an emperor’s divine senses. Why hadn’t he noticed this ability before?

What Lu Chen didn’t know was that the Feihong Immortal Boat had this ability because it was still bound to Empress Tianhong, who, as the artifact spirit of the Feihong Immortal Boat, had elevated its grade to the Emperor Tier when she broke through to become an emperor.

With the elevation in grade, the Feihong Immortal Boat gained several new abilities, one of which was to shield perceptions. Among the Feihong Immortal Boat’s abilities, this was the most insignificant; today, the Feihong Immortal Boat was akin to Empress Tianhong’s companion spiritual artifact.

Lu Chen then smiled and said to everyone behind him, “It’s possible the three emperors of the Qingyun Dynasty now think that I have already fled.”

With that, Lu Chen immediately issued an order, “Before the battle begins, let’s send a gift to our guests who have come from afar. Instruct all starships to activate their weapon systems!”

As soon as Lu Chen’s words fell, the aligned starships all opened their electromagnetic rails.

To make the Fire God Cannon’s shots travel farther, the starships were now equipped not only with electromagnetic rails but also with some formation enhancements. With these enhancements, shots from the Fire God Cannon could cross half a star domain in a very short time.

In the next moment, all the Fire God Cannon emitters on the starships began to emanate a faint blue glow, and around the electromagnetic rails, rings of blue array patterns appeared.

Meanwhile,

the warships of the Qingyun Dynasty were completely unaware of the impending danger.

Ye Hongyun gazed into the void at the distant starships, laughing as he said, “It seems I overestimated the Great Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty. To think he fled without even engaging.”

Ye Hongyun had originally thought that the Daxia Dynasty, with so many strange and wondrous things, must have some kind of heritage behind them.

Moreover, since the opposing side had taken the initiative to attack, they might have had means to deal with an emperor, but it turned out the opponent only used his divine senses to check their situation and then fled straight away.

All those considerations, wasted.

Ye Hongyun continued, “It looks like Ancestor Qi, your guess was right; the Daxia Dynasty indeed has only one emperor.”

Along the way, Qi Zong had shared his hypothesis with Ye Hongyun.

In Qi Zong’s view, the Daxia Dynasty probably had only one emperor — the founder of the Daxia Dynasty was that emperor who deliberately spread false information about there being more, creating confusion to make others believe there were two emperors in the Daxia Dynasty. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Initially, Ye Hongyun didn’t quite believe Qi Zong’s guess. He thought this act seemed unnecessary; if the Daxia Dynasty wanted to claim they had two emperors, why not simply say so rather than pretending?

But now, it seemed the Daxia Dynasty might indeed have just one emperor; otherwise, why would the opponent flee after merely using his divine sense to inspect them?

Although two emperors might still be no match for three, before any fight, the outcome wasn’t certain. The opponent wouldn’t be so afraid to even engage unless the gap in strength seemed insurmountable, making any struggle futile, prompting them to flee.

Qi Zong said, “Since the founder of the Daxia Dynasty ran away, we can boldly go and claim the gifts he left behind.”

Qi Zong referred to the starships as “gifts”. He had seen the starships brought by the Ye Family; they weren’t made of Xianjin and didn’t rely on spiritual power activation. He found these starships very intriguing.

While speaking, Qi Zong planned to send a wisp of his divine soul to compel the Daxia Dynasty’s troops to surrender.

But to his surprise, before his divine soul fragment could reach the Daxia fleet, countless lights flew in from the distance, growing larger as they approached.

Qi Zong and the others furrowed their brows, with Qi Zong asking in confusion, “What are those things?”

Before Qi Zong could make a move to stop the lights, they had already reached the front of their warships, where they exploded in an instant, shattering the Qingyun Dynasty’s warships into countless pieces.

For a moment, the starry sky turned into a spectacular fireworks display.

Despite the protective formations on the warships, the concentrated bombardment of the Fire God Cannons drained the spiritual power maintaining the formations in less than a minute.

Realizing the situation was dire, Qi Zong and his companions promptly acted. Qi Zong focused on fending off the approaching Fire God Cannon shells while Ye Hongyun and Qi Shi used their spiritual power to protect the warships.

All three had grim expressions. Moments ago, they thought the founder of the Daxia Dynasty had fled, and they could easily seize the Daxia Dynasty’s army. Now, the opponent suddenly launched an attack.

Qi Shi coldly said, “Their dynasty’s ancestor has fled, yet they still dare to attack us—absolutely reckless!”

Qi Zong remarked, “Perhaps the emperor of Daxia escaped too swiftly to inform his troops, hoping they’d buy time for his escape.”

Without hesitation, Qi Shi separated a wisp of his divine soul, constructing a Dharma Golden Body over a hundred kilometers tall, which appeared before the Daxia Dynasty’s fleet.

Qi Shi raised his giant palm and slapped toward the starships. The Daxia Dynasty had destroyed so many Qingyun Dynasty warships and killed so many soldiers, a price had to be paid.

Just as his giant palm was about to strike one of the starships, another Dharma Golden Body, also over a hundred kilometers tall, suddenly materialized in front of the starship.

The moment this form appeared, Qi Zong and the others were stunned.

Judging by its aura, this was the Dharma form of a Great Emperor. Wasn’t the Great Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty supposed to have fled? What was going on?

Qi Zong snapped out of his daze quickly and, sending out his divine soul, manifested his own Dharma Golden Body.

Soon, another giant form appeared in front of the Daxia Dynasty’s fleet.

Facing the opposing Dharma form, Qi Zong loudly declared, “Relinquish the lands of Daxia, and you shall live!”

Qi Zong’s voice thundered like rolling heavenly thunder, so powerful it caused even the space to ripple.

In response to Qi Zong’s threat, Lu Chen smiled calmly and said, “If you want the lands of the Daxia, come and try.”

At this, Qi Shi could no longer hold back. This upstart dynastic leader dared to be so arrogant! Without hesitation, he swung his palm at Lu Chen’s Dharma Golden Body.
