Chapter 1113: The Universe Will Fall into Chaos, You Should Be Prepared!
The sudden dispersal of the fear aura left the Heavenly Demons in the void extremely displeased. They had been enjoying the feast, only for it to be abruptly interrupted.
It was akin to a mortal, starving for a month, having his meal taken away just as he begins to eat.
In an instant, the Heavenly Demons were enraged. Although they did not know why the fear aura from these humans had dissipated, these beings, unable to supply it, must pay with their bodies.
Within moments, the soldiers of the War Dragon Army clashed with the Heavenly Demons.
As soon as the soldiers engaged the Heavenly Demons, they discovered their Black Gold weapons could inflict significant damage, unlike before when even the Black Gold Cannon couldn't obliterate these demons, yet their weapons proved immensely powerful.
With a single stroke, a Heavenly Demon would lose an arm or a leg; their Heavenly Demon Power was helpless against the soldiers' Black Gold weapons.
Soon, it became apparent that it wasn't the effect of the Black Gold weapons but rather the Demon Burying Spell within them at work.
The soldiers, having cultivated the Demon Burying Spell, had Spiritual Power within them that carried a purifying effect, easily suppressing Demonic Qi and Heavenly Demon Power.
Instantly, the Heavenly Demons within the void let out howls of despair.
"How is it possible! You insignificant ant managed to wound me!"
"What is this power, that it can suppress my Heavenly Demon Power!"
"No... impossible, you are just food, how could food display such formidable power!"
"Ah!!! Daring to wound me, I will tear you all apart!!!"
...
Seeing the soldiers of the War Dragon Army perform commendably in their first close combat with the Heavenly Demons, Lu Chen showed a satisfied smile.
Although the Immortal Spirit Umbrella could protect the entire Daxia Dynasty, most of the War Dragon Army starships must patrol beyond the umbrella's protection.
They were already outside the Qi Fortune's coverage area of the Daxia Dynasty; Lu Chen couldn't expend his energy to protect these zones.
If the soldiers encountered Heavenly Demons, never having experienced real combat, only knowing fear, they would find it hard to resist them.
This battle significantly boosted the morale of the War Dragon Army soldiers. In future patrols, even when facing stronger Heavenly Demons, they could remain composed, free of fear.
Against the Heavenly Demons, there must be no panic. The more panic, the stronger the demons become, as all human negative emotions are their sustenance.
Under Xu Tianlei's leadership, the Heavenly Demons in the starry sky were swiftly resolved by the War Dragon Army soldiers, though some were severely injured, none perished.
Having achieved such outcomes in their first encounter with the Heavenly Demons speaks volumes about the War Dragon Army's capability to handle the Heavenly Demon Army.
Lu Chen then waved his hand, a surge of Life Force infused into the bodies of the injured soldiers, healing their wounds in moments.
The soldiers immediately realized it was the Heavenly Emperor who intervened and respectfully saluted towards Lu Chen's starship.
Inside Lu Chen's starship, Qi Qinghan approached him from behind, looking at his broad shoulders, unsure what to say, she simply stared in a daze.
At this moment, Lu Chen turned to look at Qi Qinghan, "Qinghan, I will head back first, be careful. If you encounter any danger, immediately use my puppet to notify me."
With that, Lu Chen produced a clone puppet of himself.
Though he felt no romantic desire towards Qi Qinghan, she was crucial for fulfilling the conditions of the system's prosperity, thus meriting special protection.
Seeing the puppet fly towards her, Qi Qinghan hesitated slightly.
In ancient times, Witch Worm Skill was significant even in an Empire, existing as an evil technique, a taboo for the Emperor.
Qi Qinghan didn't expect Lu Chen would give her his puppet, making her reluctant to accept it.
Noticing Qi Qinghan hadn't taken the puppet, Lu Chen inquired, "What's wrong?"
Qi Qinghan responded, "Maj... Heavenly Emperor Brother, isn't it inappropriate for a living person to be made a puppet?"
Lu Chen immediately understood Qi Qinghan's concerns, smiled, and said, "Every woman of mine has a puppet identical to me. This puppet can be seen as my clone, don't worry about what others say."
Ah...
Qi Qinghan instantly froze.
Lu Chen's women all had such puppets?
Now that he's given this puppet to her, doesn't that imply, in Lu Chen's eyes, she is one of his women?
Reflecting on this, Qi Qinghan's cheeks turned hot and flushed, her Spiritual Power within her also became tumultuous.
Coming back to herself, she slowly raised her hand, cautiously grasping the puppet floating before her.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, said no more, and used Space Teleportation Skill to arrive at the site of the War Dragon Army soldiers' battle with the Heavenly Demons.
Lu Chen released Divine Thought again, probing the area, confirming no new Heavenly Demon Power had emerged, thus ensuring no new Heavenly Demons appeared in this star domain, preparing to depart.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, Empress Tianhong's voice came through Divine Sense.
"Heavenly Demons emerged in Xuanyang Star Domain."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen promptly headed to Xuanyang Star Domain. Now within the Daxia Dynasty, he could reach any location with a mere thought, even across dozens of star domains.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at Xuanyang Star Domain, where Empress Tianhong had mentioned.
The Heavenly Demons at the outskirts of Xuanyang Star Domain had been completely slaughtered by Empress Tianhong, leaving their bodies' Black Gold quietly floating in the void.
Observing the piles of Black Gold, one could estimate the Heavenly Demons numbered no less than ten thousand.
If facing such a scale of Heavenly Demon attack, an ordinary empire would likely see its entire life force reduced to piles of bones instantly.
However, facing Empress Tianhong, who cultivated the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique, they were destined to be reduced to ashes.
Lu Chen glanced at the Black Gold in the void, then back at Empress Tianhong, "I had just arrived, and you've already dealt with all the Heavenly Demons."
"No wonder you're the Empress wielding the Power of Slaughter; impressive!"
With this, Lu Chen's gaze shifted to Lie Hongyun standing beside Empress Tianhong, who stared dumbfounded at the floating Black Gold, seemingly in shock.
The Great Emperor could easily annihilate low-level Heavenly Demons, but these were all Returning Ruin Realm and above, and Empress Tianhong solved them with a single move, disrupting Lie Hongyun's worldview severely.
Since when did cultivators destroy Heavenly Demons so easily?
Heavenly Demons had always been nemeses to cultivators; now, it seemed Empress Tianhong was their nemesis.
Ignoring Lu Chen's praise, Empress Tianhong said expressionlessly, "Heavenly Demons appearing massively, the universe shall fall into chaos, you ought to prepare."
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Rest assured, I have long been ready."
