Chapter 1448: Chapter 1138: Ning’an Emperor Takes Action

Upon hearing the question from Mingxin Emperor, Ning’an Emperor couldn’t help but want to laugh. He found it hard to imagine that an emperor would ask such a foolish question at a time like this.

Ning’an Emperor then sneered coldly, “The army of the Shenyue Dynasty has already blocked the surrounding star domains. This is the only escape route. Do you still ask why we have come?”

“Of course, to expedite breaking free from the encirclement of the Shenyue Dynasty, we need some Dynast Qi Fortune to restore our strength. I must trouble Your Excellency to do us a small favor and voluntarily hand over your dynasty’s Qi Fortune.”

Upon hearing this, Mingxin Emperor’s face instantly darkened, as he expected. These people were not just hell-bent on borrowing the path so simply.

This has always been a world where the weak are prey to the strong. There were several Great Emperors aboard these Immortal Boats. Now that they see the juicy prospect of the Mingxin Dynasty right before them, how could they possibly pass through quietly without doing anything?

Mingxin Emperor chuckled softly and said, “Currently, the Mingxin Dynasty has already surrendered to the Daxia Dynasty. If you wish for the Mingxin Dynasty’s Qi Fortune, I fear it won’t be according to your desires.”

Ning’an Emperor heard this and was completely indifferent, not taking it to heart at all.

Daxia Dynasty? What is this obscure dynasty? He had never even heard of it.

At this moment, Ning’an Emperor said, “Since Your Excellency insists on not drinking the forfeit wine, don’t blame us.”

As Ning’an Emperor’s words fell, five Great Emperor auras descended upon this star domain. Sensing the auras from these emperors, Mingxin Emperor’s expression shifted slightly.

The power of these emperors was beyond his. It would be hard for him alone to withstand their attack, and he didn’t know how long he could hold them off. Mingxin Emperor immediately tried to contact Lu Chen through the Soul Seal deep within his Divine Soul.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty… A Great Emperor has invaded the Mingxin Dynasty…”

After calling several times, Mingxin Emperor did not get a response, which made his heart turn to ashes.

This is troubling, by the time Lu Chen arrives, the entire Mingxin Dynasty might already be destroyed.

No matter, it would be best to try to hold these people off for now. He could only stand tough since he now bore the Soul Seal in his Divine Soul and, without Lu Chen’s order, he couldn’t flee.

The next moment, Mingxin Emperor released his Emperor Dharma Form, standing resolutely before Ning’an Emperor and their Immortal Boat, with a demeanor willing to die heroically.

Seeing the red aura emanating from Mingxin Emperor, Ning’an Emperor frowned and said coldly, “Is there really a need for this, fellow Daoist? The army of the Shenyue Dynasty will soon attack. What is the point of defending your dynasty? Since you’re going to flee anyway, why not simply release your dynasty’s Qi Fortune?”

“Why play the martyr?”

At this moment, Mingxin Emperor had already begun burning his Divine Soul. When a Great Emperor burns their Divine Soul, their combat power increases drastically.

Though Ning’an Emperor and the others could very well destroy Mingxin Emperor after he burns his Divine Soul, the battle would likely not end quickly.

The most important thing is that Ning’an Emperor and his allies were on the run. If any of them got injured, it would be extremely unfavorable for them.

Initially, Ning’an Emperor thought that if all five of them released their aura together, it would intimidate Mingxin Emperor.

In their view, with the Shenyue Dynasty’s army pressing in, the rulers of nearby star domain dynasties would abandon their dynasties, and this emperor before them would be no exception.

But now it seems, they had miscalculated.

Mingxin Emperor said blandly, “More talking is pointless. Let’s begin!”

As Mingxin Emperor’s words fell, Ning’an Emperor and the others did not immediately take action. At this time, one of the emperors transmitted to Ning’an Emperor, asking, “Your Majesty, should we strike?”

Although the prospect of jointly dealing one emperor posed no significant challenge, each feared getting injured. If this guy suddenly self-destructed his Divine Soul before dying, they might even if not perishing together, still be grievously wounded.

Getting severely injured while on the run would be a significant blow to them.

Seeing none of the five Great Emperors strike immediately, Mingxin Emperor instantly guessed their misgivings and breathed a little sigh of relief, seeming like he had gambled correctly.

Upon reflection, these emperors had all abandoned their dynasties and fled—which is to say, they were all risk-averse individuals. In such a moment, how could they risk serious injury over a dynasty’s Qi Fortune?

Just when Mingxin Emperor thought they would not attack, Ning’an Emperor’s Dharma Form suddenly appeared in the void.

Ning’an Emperor then transmitted to the emperors behind him, “Transfer your power to me.”

The four Great Emperors instantly understood Ning’an Emperor’s strategy, immediately channeling their power to him.

Witnessing this sudden scene, Mingxin Emperor was momentarily stupefied, at which point Ning’an Emperor laughed lightly and said, “Since you insist on defending this empire to the death, then let me send you off!”

Chaotic Cloud Sword!!!

In the next moment, countless giant swords appeared around Ning’an Emperor, madly shooting towards Mingxin Emperor.

Mingxin Emperor’s complexion changed dramatically; he had believed his gamble had paid off, not expecting Ning’an Emperor to attack nonetheless.

Mingxin Emperor struggled to understand why Ning’an Emperor had shown reluctance to strike in the previous moment, yet attacked the next.

In reality, Ning’an Emperor did not wish to waste too much time here; he was equally worried that if Mingxin Emperor self-destructed his Divine Soul, he might sustain injuries.

However, upon further reflection, his own empire was about to be destroyed by the Shenyue Dynasty’s army, and by then his power would undoubtedly be significantly weakened. If he did not absorb some Qi Fortune from other dynasties to stabilize his cultivation, the decline in his power would be severe.

How would he face future calamities then?

Thinking about the impending disaster, Ning’an Emperor ultimately decided to strike. Currently being in the Sixth Layer Realm of the Great Emperor, he had an absolute advantage over an emperor in the First or Second Layer Realm.

Once his empire was destroyed, descending into the Third Layer Realm, or even down to the First or Second Layer Realm, absorbing Qi Fortune by annihilating other empires would be much more difficult.

So, while his strength was still formidable, he aimed to destroy as many empires as possible to stabilize his cultivation.

Seeing Ning’an Emperor make his move, Mingxin Emperor had no choice but to confront his magic.

Cloud Sea Palm!!!

Mingxin Emperor’s Dharma Form struck forward, and a massive golden handprint appeared in the void.

Instantly, countless giant swords crashed into the huge palm, and within moments, the giant palm was pierced through.

Mingxin Emperor’s face turned ashen instantly. Even after burning his Divine Soul, he still couldn’t block a single move from the opponent.

No, this can’t continue. In the next moment, Mingxin Emperor commanded the entire Mingxin Dynasty’s Qi Fortune, and a Fate Golden Dragon instantly emerged in front of his Dharma Form.

The power released by the Fate Golden Dragon barely fended off the incoming giant swords, but Mingxin Emperor could clearly feel that the Fate Golden Dragon was on the brink of collapse.
