#1253 - The Great Xia Dynasty retreats

The emperors were aware of the strange red filaments of the Epochal Calamity. If they saw the red filaments on Divine Martial Emperor's head, they would definitely think the Epochal Calamity had begun and would flee in terror.

When Lu Chen saw that the emperors present were focused on the battle, and even the emperors of the Immortal Alliance forces hadn't fled, he understood that the black hole above Divine Martial Emperor's head, as well as those scarlet eyes, were probably only visible to him and Divine Martial Emperor.

This made Lu Chen uncertain whether it was a sign of the Epochal Calamity's beginning.

Lu Chen thought for a moment that since Divine Martial Emperor was currently holding off those eyes, it was a good opportunity for him to get away from the Central Star Region.

Those eyes made him feel extremely dangerous. Although he didn't know if it was a sign of the Epochal Calamity, getting away from that thing was definitely the right choice.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately transmitted a message to all the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, "Everyone, prepare to withdraw from the Central Star Region!"

Hearing this, the emperors who were preparing to fight desperately against the Demonic Legion were stunned. Withdraw from the Central Star Region?

Why withdraw from the Central Star Region at this time?

Wasn't Divine Martial Emperor already unable to move? Why not take this opportunity to directly eliminate Divine Martial Emperor instead of withdrawing from the Central Star Region?

Thunder Emperor transmitted his voice at this time, asking, "Your Majesty, isn't now the best time to eliminate Divine Martial Emperor? Why are we suddenly retreating?"

Lu Chen said indifferently, "After we withdraw from the Central Star Region, I will tell you the reason."

Since Lu Chen had said so, the emperors couldn't say much more. After all, Lu Chen was the Lord of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he must have his reasons for doing so.

To help the Great Xia Dynasty's army retreat, Lu Chen immediately mobilized the power of the Seven Colors. With a single sword strike, countless demons were annihilated in the universe.

Seeing the scene that happened in the distance, Cloud Whale Emperor and the emperors of the Immortal Alliance forces couldn't help but sigh. If only they could have joined the Great Xia Dynasty earlier, or pulled the Great Xia Dynasty into the Immortal Alliance forces.

If Lu Chen were here, they wouldn't have suffered such great casualties. Just as the emperors were sighing, they suddenly discovered that the Great Xia Dynasty's fleet was actually retreating.

Seeing this scene, people were immediately puzzled. Wasn't the Great Xia Dynasty currently on the advantageous side? Why were they suddenly retreating?

After the Great Xia Dynasty's fleet withdrew a certain distance, the hundred emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty who hadn't participated in the Spirit Gathering Formation also began to gradually retreat.

Cloud Whale Emperor and the others immediately began to discuss.

"What happened?"

"Why is the Great Xia Dynasty retreating?"

"Could it be that Lu Chen is going to use some means and is afraid of affecting others, so he's having them retreat?"

"If that's the case, then he could have just not let the Great Xia Dynasty's immortal ships go up in the first place."

"Something's not right."

… …

Cloud Whale Emperor said at this time, "This Emperor will go ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cloud Whale Emperor came down from the immortal ship and then flew to an emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty who was retreating, "Why are you retreating? Isn't your power able to suppress the demons?"

That emperor replied, "This is His Majesty's order. We don't know what's going on. Maybe His Majesty discovered something."

"You should also retreat quickly. After we withdraw from the Central Star Region, His Majesty will tell us the reason."

Hearing the emperor's words, Cloud Whale Emperor didn't waste any more time. He immediately returned to the immortal ship of the Immortal Alliance forces.

The emperors of the Immortal Alliance forces saw him return and immediately surrounded him.

An emperor asked eagerly, "Cloud Whale Emperor, did you find out anything? Why is the Great Xia Dynasty suddenly retreating?"

Cloud Whale Emperor replied, "Those emperors don't know the reason either. It was Lu Chen who told them to retreat. Maybe Lu Chen discovered something."

"We should also retreat immediately."

This… …

Hearing these words, the emperors looked at each other.

Cloud Whale Emperor spoke again, "After we leave the Central Star Region, Lu Chen should tell us the reason. Let's retreat first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cloud Whale Emperor immediately controlled the immortal ship to retreat. Seeing that Cloud Whale Emperor had retreated, the other emperors also chose to retreat.

Seeing that the Great Xia Dynasty's fleet and the Immortal Alliance forces had already retreated to a certain distance, Lu Chen directly mobilized the power of the source and once again gathered the three forces into the Shattered God Sword.

Then he swung his sword.

With this sword, the surging demon tide directly turned into dust. Taking this opportunity, Lu Chen immediately lifted the Spirit Gathering Formation, and then led the emperors of the Spirit Gathering Formation to quickly leave the Divine Moon Dynasty.

At this time, Divine Martial Emperor hadn't noticed that Lu Chen had already run away. He was desperately extracting the power of the universe's origin, trying to completely control the entire universe.

Just as he felt that he was about to touch the will of the universe, he suddenly discovered that countless red filaments appeared in front of him. Before Divine Martial Emperor could react, those red filaments directly penetrated his body.

Feeling that his body was being dissolved by those red filaments, a look of horror appeared on Divine Martial Emperor's face. He immediately thought of the strange red filaments that would appear during the Epochal Calamity.

Divine Martial Emperor roared unwillingly, "No!!! This Emperor will not fall like this. So what if it's the Epochal Calamity!!!"

"As long as this Emperor completely controls this universe, the Epochal Calamity will also be decided by this Emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Divine Martial Emperor fully mobilized the demonic power in his body. For a time, the entire Divine Moon Dynasty was shrouded in a vortex of demonic power, and the demons of the Divine Moon Dynasty were swept into this vortex of demonic power before they could react.

As the vortex of demonic power spun faster and faster, the demonic power within the demons of the Divine Moon Dynasty was gradually drawn out, and those demons turned into powder.

The demons felt that the demonic power in their bodies was being drawn away by Divine Martial Emperor. For a time, all the demons panicked. They struggled frantically, wailing, and the wails of the demons even spread throughout the Central Star Region.

Lu Chen, who was retreating from the Central Star Region, heard the wails of the demons and immediately turned his head to investigate the situation of the Divine Moon Dynasty. As a result, it was as he had thought. The red filaments had indeed launched an attack on Divine Martial Emperor and had even tied up Divine Martial Emperor.

At this time, the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Immortal Alliance forces also discovered the situation of the Divine Moon Dynasty. Seeing that the entire Divine Moon Dynasty was being swept into the vortex of demonic power, the emperors suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

If they hadn't retreated just now, wouldn't they have been swept into this terrifying vortex as well? Was this Divine Martial Emperor's true strength? It was too terrifying!

At this time, apart from Lu Chen, the other emperors didn't know the situation of Divine Martial Emperor. They still thought that this vortex was a sign that Divine Martial Emperor was about to attack Lu Chen.
